Chapter 104 Daddy's Hands
Yunniang returned to the kitchen with peace of mind and started to get busy.
Little Dumpling dreamed that he was flying in the sky, and the cool and sweet wind blowing on his body was so comfortable!
The white and soft clouds like marshmallows are right under your feet.
The little dumpling opened his mouth and took a bite. Wow, it was so sweet.
So the clouds are actually made of marshmallows? How magical!
At this time, there was a burst of noise in his ears. Little Dumpling looked down and saw that Heihe Village was right under his feet!
There were a lot of people in the yard of a house, and they seemed to be having a banquet.
The little girl swallowed her saliva and moved closer to take a look.
Suddenly, the scene changed, and the little girl saw her father surrounded by people.
Not far away, Ye Yanlan, whose clothes were disheveled, covered her face and cried heartbrokenly.
Daddy's face was pale and he looked desperate. "I know nothing I say will help. Now that things have come to this, I can only prove my innocence!"
He pushed everyone aside, rushed into the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and chopped his hand fiercely...
"Ding ding!" Little Dumpling screamed in fright and suddenly woke up from his dream.
"Ding ding!"
The little boy jumped off the bed quickly, fell on his butt but didn't care about the pain, and ran as fast as he could with his short legs.
Don’t chop your hands off, Xiaojiu will come to save you!
The Huo family yard was filled with tables, chairs and benches.
Although the dishes on the table are all home-cooked dishes from the farmers, you can tell that they are prepared with sincerity.
After everyone sat down, Huo Danian actually came out with a jar of wine, looking a little melancholy.
"This jar of wine has been sitting around for years. My mother prepared it for Zhongnian when he passed the imperial examination. There's no point in keeping it around now. I might as well take it out and give it to everyone to drink. I hope everyone can forget the unhappy things that happened in the past!"
It was rare for Huo Danian to say so many words at once, and after he finished speaking, he was a little afraid to look at everyone.
"Okay, you're thoughtful, Da Nian!"
"We all know your good intentions!"
"It's none of your business, Da Nian. You're different from them!"
Smelling the aroma of wine, many villagers couldn't help swallowing.
Who has the money to buy alcohol these days? They've almost forgotten what alcohol tastes like.
Yao and Luo Qiuyue brought up bowls, and Huo Danian poured wine for everyone.
Each person was given half a bowl of rice wine.
For the villagers, as long as they have something to drink, it doesn’t matter whether there is food or not.
The Huo family had lost two people not long ago, so everyone was reluctant to laugh or talk loudly. They just clinked their bowls together and started drinking.
Ye Yanping felt something was wrong after taking two sips of wine.
"This wine is so intoxicating!" Ye Yanping pressed his forehead, his face flushed.
"I didn't expect you to have such a low alcohol tolerance, Yan Ping!"
"You're not afraid of beating a tiger, but you'll get drunk on yellow wine!"
The fellows at the same table all laughed.
Ye Yanping waved his hands and spoke with a lisp, "I don't know what's going on, I'm so dizzy, I'm going back first!"
As he was about to stand up, he fell headfirst onto the table with a "bang".
"Oh my, Yan Ping is really drunk!"
"It's okay, let him sleep for a while, we'll carry him back later!"
Being drunk was no big deal, so everyone ignored Ye Yanping and continued drinking.
After a while, Ye Yanlan came over.
Gently shook Ye Yanping, "Brother! Brother!"
Ye Yanping was sleeping soundly and didn't respond at all.
"What's wrong with Aping?" Ye Yanlan looked worried.
The villagers said: "He doesn't know how to drink. He gets drunk after just two sips."
"A Ping has never drunk alcohol since he was a child." Ye Yanlan frowned worriedly, "It's not good for him to lie here. I'll send him back first!"
As he said this, he put his arm around Ye Yanping's and stood up.
"Okay, you can give it to me!"
No one took it seriously.
Ye Yanlan has become normal recently. Although she has no blood relationship with the Ye family, the relationship between sister and brother must still exist.
Ye Yanlan supported Ye Yanping and walked away.
Everyone was drinking, and no one noticed that Ye Anlan did not leave the yard at all, but turned a corner and entered a side room.
After entering the room, Ye Yanlan laid Ye Yanping on the bed. Looking at Ye Yanping's handsome sleeping face, Ye Yanlan caressed his face with an intoxicated look.
"A Ping, for the past twenty years, I have always treated you as my sister. Now, looking at you from a woman's perspective, I find that you are truly beautiful. You are so good-looking that it's hard to take your eyes off. You are such a bargain for that woman Yunniang."
"I actually missed out on a man like you who is strong, handsome, and kind to me. It must be fate."
Ye Yanlan said, a strange smile rising at the corner of her lips. "The Ye family is really weird. Since I'm not their biological daughter, why are they so determined to raise me as their own daughter? Wouldn't it be better to let me be a child bride? Ah Ping, don't you think so?"
Ye Yanping was breathing heavily and was unconscious.
Ye Yanlan's fingers lingered on his high nose bridge. "A Ping, why do you have to force me to do this to you? I really can't bear to treat you like this! But there's nothing I can do. Who asked you to reject me? Thinking that you might cry, I'm really looking forward to it!"
…
In the yard, everyone finished their drinks, said hello to Huo Danian, and then slowly dispersed.
The Huo family's banquet started early today, and many families in the village had just started to have lunch.
The Ye family returned with the craftsmen, and Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu also returned from school.
"Mom, where is my sister?" the two children asked Yunniang.
Yunniang took a look at the cold breakfast in Xiaojiu's small bowl and was surprised to find that Xiaojiu had not gotten up yet.
"Why did Xiaojiuer sleep so long today? I'll go and check!" Yunniang wiped her hands.
"But my sister isn't in bed!"
"What? Not on the bed!" Yunniang was shocked.
In the past, Xiaojiu would go out to play by himself, but he had never gone out without eating breakfast.
"No rush, maybe we can go with the local official." Luo Qiuyue said, "The local official likes to play with Xiaojiu."
Ye Buwei said: "It is also possible that he went to the Huo family for a feast with Yan Ping."
The Ye family split up into several groups and hurried out to look for people.
After searching around, I found that not only Xiaojiu was missing, but Ye Yanping was also missing.
The Huo family's feast had ended long ago, and everyone else had gone home, but Ye Yanping hadn't returned.
The Ye family was not worried about Ye Yanping, but was just looking for Xiaojiu like crazy.
The villagers also helped to look for it, and everyone was busy.
"Don't panic, it must be Yan Ping taking Xiao Jiu out to play somewhere." said the village head.
At this time, someone said something.
"Yan Ping shouldn't be with Xiao Jiu! He was so drunk he couldn't even stand up, and Ye Yanlan said she'd send him back! Where else could he go if not home?"
"What did you say?!" Luo Qiuyue's face changed slightly, "Go to the Huo family!"
