After dinner, the three men in the family talked in Ye Qimin's study, while Ye's mother took her youngest son and daughter-in-law to chat in the yard.
As for the children, they were having a great time in the yard.
Tang Erhai, his hands still tied with a white cloth hanging around his neck, sat aside and watched them play with a smile.
As we were chatting, the sun, which was originally directly overhead, slowly moved to the west and then set.
At this time, the study door opened from the inside.
The children, tired of playing, sat on the steps and ate candied haws.
As soon as Tang Silong saw his father coming out, he immediately stood up and ran over, "Dad! You're out."
Tang Mingan rubbed his son's head with his hand, then looked at Ye's father and said, "It's getting late, let's go back first."
Father Ye nodded, and Ye Qimin at the side said, "Yi Hai's studies... when he comes back, ask him to find time to come over, and I'll take a look at it for him."
Tang Yi Hai was also coached by him before, but Ye Qimin saw that although Tang Yi Hai had talent, he lacked patience.
As for what will happen now, we can only wait and see after his college entrance examination is over.
After saying goodbye, Tang Mingan took her husband and children back home.
After returning home, the three children did not enter the house, but went straight to their uncle's house next door.
Tang Mingan and Ye Qingyu went home to get something.
Seeing Aunt Fang coming back from the vegetable garden, Ye Qingyu said, "Aunt Fang, let's go to the next door to eat tonight. Remember to fry the meat in the kitchen."
When the weather gets hot, meat won’t last long and will go bad if not eaten in time.
"Yes, I understand." Nanny Fang responded with a smile.
In the past, she would have definitely refused out loud, but after understanding her master's temperament, Nanny Fang no longer said anything meaningless.
When Tang Ming'an and Ye Qingyu took the things over, the yard was already filled with the aroma of rice.
Dinner was prepared by Tang's mother and sister-in-law, with the sister-in-law's two children helping out.
Tang's mother is fifty years old this year. Fifty years old was considered a long life in ancient times, and many people would have difficulty moving at this age.
However, Tang's mother and father are still in good health.
Thinking about her little son's return, Tang's mother insisted on cooking herself no matter what, no matter how others persuaded her.
"Uncle, uncle, you are here, please give me the things." A shy boy came over and spoke nervously.
I only dared to look up at my uncle whom I hadn't seen for five years, then lowered my head and took the things.
"You are... Erxi?" Tang Ming'an seemed to remember that his eldest brother's second son was a bit shy.
Tang Mingan’s older brother Tang Mingquan is five years older than him and also has four children.
The eldest son, Tang Dadong, is eighteen years old this year. He is already married and his wife is three months pregnant.
The second son, Tang Erxi, is sixteen years old this year and is also at the age of marriage. However, he is too shy, which gives his family a headache.
The third son, Tang Xiaonan, is a boy who is fourteen years old this year. In another one or two years, he will be old enough to get married.
The fourth daughter, Tang Xiaobei, is 13 years old this year. Because the character "北" sounds a bit like a boy's name, her name was changed to "貝".
The names of these four children were chosen by Tang Ming'an's eldest brother.
Thinking that families in ancient times had more than one child, in order to save himself from racking his brains, Tang Ming'an simply gave his eldest brother four characters and asked him to name his children in order when they had them in the future.
"Yes... yes, uncle, you still remember me?!" Tang Erxi said in surprise.
"Remember, where is your father?"
"Dad went to the fields this afternoon and should be back by now."
Sure enough, after a while, Tang Mingan's elder brother came back from outside.
Tang Mingan walked over and said, "Brother."
"Hey, Ming'an is back."
Tang Mingquan looks simple and honest, completely different from Tang Mingan.
When the two brothers stand together, people who don't know them can't tell that they are brothers.
The five years in the military camp made Tang Ming'an taller and stronger, making him look more like an elder brother than his older brother.
"You are a head taller than me now." The elder brother smiled innocently.
"Brother is not short." Tang Ming'an raised the corners of his lips.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Tang are tall, so it is natural that their children will not be short either.
It's just that Tang Ming'an is special, as he can still grow so much taller even after he gets older.
Neither of the two brothers were talkative people, so they chatted for a few words and then went in.
When they entered, the table was already set with food and the rice was served. The number of people from the two families combined was quite large, so one table could not accommodate them all, so they split it into two tables.
The eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and worried that the children would be too noisy and accidentally bump into her, so the eldest sister-in-law asked her daughter-in-law to sit next to her.
Tang's mother came in with the last bowl of chicken soup. Tang Ming'an saw it and hurried over to take it.
"Mom, you're so old now, you shouldn't go into the kitchen." Tang Mingan disagreed.
Tang Ming'an is not very good at speaking, and a kind word might turn into a mockery when it comes out of his mouth.
But as his mother, Tang's mother knew that her son cared about her.
"Thinking that you haven't eaten the meal cooked by your mother for five years, I will cook one for you myself today." Tang's mother followed her son and said with a smile.
"In a few years, you won't be able to eat the food your mother cooks even if you want to."
"Then mother can eat the food cooked by her husband." Ye Qingyu walked over and supported Tang's mother, saying with a smile.
Tang's mother smiled and said, "It's not easy to eat the food he cooks. He never took the initiative to go into the kitchen when he was at home."
Before Tang Ming'an got married, he rarely went into the kitchen. He would only take the initiative to cook when everyone in the family was too busy to cook.
So for a long time, Tang's mother didn't know that her youngest son's cooking skills were better than hers.
It was not until after they got married and the two brothers separated and built new houses that Tang's mother realized how hardworking her younger son could be.
She took care of all the housework and spoiled her new husband to no end.
Tang's mother couldn't stand it anymore. How could she marry a man and then do nothing for him?
A man works hard outside and has to do laundry and cook when he comes home. Is this the right person to marry?
This is clearly marrying a little ancestor to serve her!
But she had no sooner mentioned this than her son bought more than ten acres of good farmland.
Together with the dozen or so acres of land that he got when the family was divided up, he rented them all out and just sat at home waiting to be paid.
What else can Tang's mother do?
If her son wants to spoil her husband, then let him do so. She can’t control him anyway.
Fortunately, the husband his son married was of good character and did not take advantage of his favor to bully his son.
In short, Tang's mother realized that her younger son was a stubborn person, and it was useless to persuade him, so she simply ignored him.
After dinner, it was already completely dark.
When Tang Mingan's family of five returned, candles were lit in the main living room and the kitchen, and Nanny Fang was boiling water in the kitchen.
After telling the two children to take a bath, Tang Mingan brought a few buckets of hot water into the house.
"Erhai's hands are not convenient, husband, please help him wipe his body." Ye Qingyu reminded.
"Yeah," Tang Ming'an responded, and then said, "It's cold at night, don't take too long to shower."
"knew……"
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was a little ambiguous when they were alone together, and it was now night time, and Ye Qingyu's face turned red for some reason.
Tang Mingan wiped his son's body and changed his medicine before returning to his room.
When he entered the room, Ye Qingyu had already finished washing and was getting dressed. Tang Mingan saw her white back at a glance.
"Ayu's back is also very white." Tang Ming'an chuckled.
Tang Mingan's sudden voice startled Ye Qingyu, "You...how come you walk without making any sound?!"
"If there is sound, won't we be able to see the beautiful scenery right now?" Tang Ming'an walked over, bent down and kissed him on the lips.
"You! Go take a shower!" Ye Qingyu pushed him out, trying to change the subject.
"Are you so impatient, husband?" Tang Ming'an raised his eyebrows slightly and said in an ambiguous tone.
"If you keep talking nonsense... forget about going to bed tonight!" Ye Qingyu said a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, then my husband will go take a shower, and Yu will wait obediently in bed."
At this time, the young husband's face was already red with laughter.
Sitting on the bed and listening to the sound of water coming from behind the screen, Ye Qingyu's face felt a little hot.
Tang Mingan took a quick shower and came out soon after having changed his clothes.
When he walked to the bed, he saw that his husband's face was still red. Tang Mingan couldn't help laughing, "What good thing did my husband think of? His face is so red."
I reached out and touched it, and it was still hot.
"Why didn't you change the water before washing?" Ye Qingyu said a little embarrassedly.
"The water isn't cold," Tang Ming'an took off his shoes and went to bed, "or did my husband just go to sweep the pig pen and make the washing water dirty?"
The first sentence sounds fine, but what does the second sentence mean? !
There's no way this pigsty thing is going to work, right?!
Ye Qingyu was so angry that she pulled his hand over and bit it.
"Hiss--" Tang Ming'an frowned because of the bite.
Ye Qingyu thought he had bitten her until she bled, so she quickly loosened her mouth. But before he could see clearly, she was angered by the man's next words.
"You licked me and it made me a little itchy..." Tang Ming'an said, turning over and pressing her husband under her.
The candle went out with a wave of the hand, the bed curtain fell, and the room was plunged into darkness.
A few days later, Tang Yihai, who had gone to the provincial capital for the examination, finally came back.
Tang Silong, who was playing outside, was the first to know that his elder brother had returned. When he saw his elder brother coming from a distance, Tang Silong was so happy that he left his little friend behind.
"Brother! Cousin! You are back!" Tang Silong ran over excitedly.
"I'm back." Tang Yihai touched his brother's head and said with a smile.
"Brother, brother, I have a surprise for you!" Tang Silong had an expression that said 'ask me quickly, ask me quickly'.
Tang Yihai was also happy to coax him, "What's the surprise?"
"Daddy is back! Are you happy, brother?!"
When Tang Silong announced this surprise to his eldest brother, he jumped up and down and looked happier than the person who heard the news.
"Father is back?!" Tang Yihai said in surprise.
"Uncle is back?! When did he come back?" Cousin Tang Dadong said happily when he heard the news.
Hearing his eldest cousin's question, Tang Silong answered without hesitation, "I came back five days ago!"
Tang Silong has always been sensitive about his father, and he remembers the time when his father came back clearly.
"Brother?" Tang Silong didn't see any happy expression on his brother's face, and asked in surprise, "Dad is back, aren't you happy?"
"No, brother is just too happy, so you can't see it on his face." After being surprised, Tang Yihai regained his composure.
"Oh, brother, let's go back quickly. Dad will definitely be happy to see you back!" Tang Silong pulled his brother's hand and tried to make him run.
"No hurry, we're almost home."
When the three of them were almost home, Tang Silong shouted out loud, "Dad! Mum! Big brother is back!"
When Tang Yihai walked into the house, he happened to see a man coming out of his grandmother's room.
The man had a scar across his eye on his left cheek, but it did not affect his appearance.
So, this man is his father?
"Father." Seeing the man looking at him, Tang Yihai spoke.
"Yeah." Tang Mingan nodded in response.
So this is the eldest son who has changed his soul in his dream?
