Chapter 303 A Mother's Child
The meal lasted from noon to afternoon, and it was not until it was almost dark that Ye Jishun's yard finally became quiet.
After Ye Beixiu sent away the last guest, he helped Ye Jishun, whose tongue was already enlarged, into the house to rest.
"I'm not drunk, I'm happy, Bei Xiu, I'm really happy."
"I know."
Wang Guilan came in with a bowl of honey water. "Bei Xiu, let your grandfather drink it quickly. You said this old man, no one else is drunk, only he is drunk."
"I said, I'm not drunk, I'm happy."
"Yes, yes, if you are happy, drink this water quickly and get some sleep! I have been so restless all day that my old bones are falling apart."
Ye Jishun's face darkened, and he glared at Wang Guilan while drinking water, "Don't say you're tired. How can you say you're tired when it comes to such a big happy event?
Other families want to prepare such a grand banquet, but he has no chance! Right, Bei Xiu, am I right?"
"right!"
Wang Guilan handed Ye Beixiu a glass of water. "Your grandfather drank too much, and you're causing trouble! I'll take care of him here. You and Juexia should go home quickly. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Ye Beixiu nodded, "Grandma, let's go home first."
"Go, go!"
Wang Guilan sent them to the door, gave them some instructions, then closed the door and went into the house to rest.
Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia walked hand in hand towards their home.
Zhang Juexia asked with concern, "You didn't drink too much, did you?"
"No, Big Brother, Wanfeng, and Eryong all helped me block a lot of alcohol."
"Well, I was so worried when I saw them getting you drunk."
"I can still handle their little tricks."
"That's fine. I haven't been home for a long time and I miss it."
"Me too."
The two pushed open the door and saw that the yard was clean and tidy. It was obvious that someone had helped clean it in advance.
"Let's go to the kitchen and boil some hot water, then take a shower and rest!"
"good!"
After Zhang Juexia washed up, he lay on the bed, stretched his legs and feet, and fell asleep after exercising for a while.
When Ye Beixiu came in, he saw Zhang Juexia who was already fast asleep. He carefully changed his clothes, blew out the candle, and lay down beside her.
These two days have exhausted them.
But tired and happy!
Soon, Ye Beixiu also fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the two were awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door.
Zhang Juexia sat up dazedly and nudged Ye Beixiu, "Go and see who's knocking on the door!"
"Um."
Ye Beixiu put on his clothes hastily and went to open the door reluctantly.
It's been several days, and I only had a good sleep yesterday. Who is so blind to knock on the door at this time?
Otherwise, I could sleep a little longer.
Pang Xiujuan stopped outside for a while, obviously getting impatient. When she heard footsteps in the yard, she couldn't help but raise her voice, "Can't you hurry up!"
Ye Yunliang pushed her and said, "What did I tell you when we were at home? Have you forgotten?"
Pang Xiujuan rolled her eyes at Ye Yunliang and said, "Even if he becomes a high-ranking official, I am still his mother. Why can't I urge him on?"
Ye Beixiu had very good hearing and heard everything the two people said outside without missing a word.
When he hesitated for a moment whether to open the door, Pang Xiujuan urged him again, "Why are you so slow in opening the door!"
Ye Beixiu opened the door with a sullen look on his face, and Pang Xiujuan swaggered in. "Your house is so hard to get into!"
Ye Yunliang forced a smile and explained to Ye Beixiu, "Your mother made some breakfast that you like and insisted on bringing it to you."
"I said we came early and disturbed their sleep!"
"Who's still not awake at this hour?"
As soon as Pang Xiujuan entered the house, she started yelling, "My son will be a scholar in the future. Can't you be more diligent and get up early to make him food? I, as his mother, have to trouble you to bring it to him from far away."
Zhang Juexia was speechless.
This was the first time she and Ye Beixiu had seen Pang Xiujuan bring them breakfast since they got married.
She felt rather flattered and didn't know what to do.
Pang Xiujuan glared at her and said, "You really don't have any good sense at all. Hurry up and take it over to me. Are you trying to tire me to death?"
Without waiting for Zhang Juexia to reach out, Ye Beixiu took the thing from Pang Xiujuan with a dark face and placed it on the table beside him.
Ye Yunliang kept winking at Pang Xiujuan, but she pretended not to notice. He had no choice but to speak, "Bei Xiu, your mother meant well. She got up early this morning just to make you something you like to eat."
"I know, Uncle San, just sit down."
Ye Yunliang sat down.
Zhang Juexia brought two glasses of water and placed them in front of them.
Pang Xiujuan pretended to drink a sip of tea and then checked Zhang Juexia's belly, "Bei Xiu's wife, Bei Xiu is now a scholar, you have to take good care of him on weekdays.
Also, whenever your belly starts to move, I can tell you that I am your mother-in-law. Others can’t control this matter, but I can.”
Ye Yunliang's throat was almost hoarse from coughing, but he did not stop Pang Xiujuan from talking.
He is an uncle, and it would be inappropriate for him to sit here and listen to this, "Bei Xiu, how about we go out for a walk.
I haven't been to your workshop since you built it, why don't we go take a look?"
Ye Beixiu suppressed the anger in his heart and replied without a trace of emotion, "No need."
Pang Xiujuan glared at Ye Yunliang and said, "Why go to the workshop? There are only old women and young wives there. Do you want to see them?"
"Guarding the child, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I don't have time to talk to you now. I'll talk to you when I get home.
Oh, by the way, where were we just now? Oh, Beixiu, you kid, you too, you actually hid such a big thing from me.
Beili and Beifeng have grown up now. Since you have the experience of passing the imperial examination, I think it would be better to let the two brothers follow you.
You are brothers from the same mother. If you teach them well, maybe they can become scholars or something.
Anyway, you don’t have any children of your own now.”
"What does Third Uncle think?"
“I’ll listen to your mother, Bei Xiu, you know I’m incompetent and can’t give them anything.
Now that you have the ability, you can bring them to the county town and help find a good school for them, which can be regarded as a way out for them."
"That's a good idea, but I'm wondering how much money Uncle San plans to give them every month for living expenses?"
Ye Yunliang stammered, his eyes involuntarily looking at Pang Xiujuan.
Pang Xiujuan slammed the table and stood up. "Ye Beixiu, you are really rebellious. Beili and Beifeng are just like you. They are all children born from my belly. How dare you ask for living expenses? How can you even say such a thing?"
