The second daughter and her family came back, and the house was busy again. A big rooster in the house was forced to be sacrificed.
Ye Qing smiled and said to Ye Fang: "When we came back this time, Mom killed two chickens!"
Wang Juan snorted and laughed when she heard this. "It's not easy for you two to come back. Shouldn't I treat you to delicious food and drinks?"
The two sisters looked at each other and laughed. Ye Fang said, "Mom, why do I feel like you are being sarcastic when you say this?"
Wang Juan rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, "You silly girl, you're still so naughty even though you're a mother!
How could I be reluctant to give it to you to eat?"
"Hey, you are my biological mother and I am your biological daughter, how could I not be willing to let go!"
"Has everything been arranged in Beijing? Can you live there when you get there? Is it a building?"
"It should still be a tiled house. A lot of things have been sent over. They said that they have all the furniture and other things. We should be able to live in it after a simple packing. But they sleep on beds over there. My family is used to sleeping on kangs. I don't know if we can get used to it."
"It doesn't matter where you sleep, but how do you keep warm in a tiled house in winter? Burn a stove? It's still not as warm as a kang."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We'll talk about it when the time comes. If they can do it, we can definitely do it too."
There are many children at home, so we sat at two tables for lunch. The adults chatted at one table, and the children sat at another table and ate by themselves.
Ye Erzhu was drinking with his son-in-law, and he always had a smile on his face. His son-in-law got a promotion and was transferred to Beijing. He was so proud of himself!
"Dad, I toast to you!"
Qi Mingtao poured a glass of wine for his father-in-law and clinked glasses with him.
Ye Erzhu took a sip cheerfully, "It's great that you bought this wine!"
Ye Fang smiled and said, "Of course not. This is the most famous wine from Hu Jian's place. The leaders of the army all drink this kind of wine! Ming Tao usually doesn't want to buy it, so he bought it especially for you!"
Ye Erzhu smiled even more happily when he heard this, and patted Qi Mingtao's arm, "Good son-in-law! Dad hasn't congratulated you yet! Come, Dad will toast you too, and congratulate you on your promotion! Work hard in the future! Strive to become a higher official!"
Wang Juan rolled her eyes when she heard what he said, "Why do you sound so vulgar?"
Ye Erzhu turned his head and looked at her, "Then tell me something good."
"I can't tell you."
"You can't say it and you think what I said is not good enough!"
"I don't say it because I can't speak it! Unlike you who can't speak it but still insist on speaking it!"
Ye Erzhu laughed angrily, pointed at her, turned around and said to Qi Mingtao: "Look at your mother, she will argue even when she is wrong!"
Seeing the old couple bickering, the younger generations all grinned.
After three rounds of drinking, Ye Erzhu was a little drunk. He patted Qi Mingtao on the shoulder and burped. "Burp~ Take Fangfang and the kids to see your grandma tomorrow morning."
If the daughters and sons-in-law went to Beijing, there was no telling when they would be able to come back. And who knows how long her mother would live lying on the kang. This might be the last time they would see her. He knew that the daughters had resentment towards their mother, but now that the old woman was like this, they should go and see her, otherwise it would be bad to be criticized.
Qi Mingtao nodded, "Fangfang and I have already discussed it, and we plan to go see my grandma tomorrow."
Ye Erzhu nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy!"
"Sister, I really envy you for having both a son and a daughter. I also want to have a daughter."
Ye Fang looked at her two nieces with envy.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "I think it's too much, I'll give you one."
Ye Fang laughed, "Are you serious? I take it seriously!"
If it weren't for family planning, she would have planned to have another child. The couple dreamed of having another daughter.
"Yueyue, Xixi, would you like to go home with Second Aunt? There are delicious foods at Second Aunt's house!"
Yueyue shook her head to show that she didn't want to. Xixi was very happy when she heard that there was something delicious to eat, "I do!"
"Hahaha!"
When the adults heard this, they burst out laughing. Children are so easy to fool.
"Okay, I'll take you with me when Second Aunt leaves! I'll buy you a little skirt!"
Ye Fang held the child in her arms and kissed her fiercely. Her sweet and soft daughter was much more fragrant than the two naughty boys at home!
Ye Fang and her husband stayed at her parents' home until around four in the afternoon before returning home. Ye Qing walked with them.
The two sisters walked on the road arm in arm, and Ye Fang asked, "Sister, how long do you think the old lady can live?"
Ye Qing blinked, "It's hard to say, but according to the saying that the scourge has lasted for a thousand years, it won't die in a short time."
Ye Fang chuckled, "Alas, if it weren't for Ming Tao and our family's reputation, I wouldn't even want to go see her!"
The couple came back with great difficulty and happened to be in time. If they didn't go, people would easily gossip about them. In addition, the fact that Qi Mingtao was promoted and transferred to Beijing was already known to everyone. Their every move was being watched. If they didn't go, who knows what would happen if people gossiped about them behind their backs!
Ye Qing smiled and patted her hands, "Let's go to grandma's house the day after tomorrow. Your brother-in-law should come to pick us up in a couple of days."
"Okay, I finally got back, I must go visit my grandparents."
"Well, do you want to come to my house?"
Ye Fang shook her head. "No, it's getting late. I have to go back and pack up."
It's not appropriate to go to her in-laws' house empty-handed at this time.
Ye Qing nodded, "Alright, then you guys go back, we'll go to grandma's house together the day after tomorrow."
"good!"
The next day after breakfast, Ye Fang and his wife carried their things to the Ye family's old house and met many acquaintances on the way.
"Fangfang, are you going with your man to see your breasts?"
"Your grandma is so pitiful, she is lying on the kang and can't move. You young people should show your filial piety to her!"
"Fangfang, I heard that your boyfriend was transferred to Beijing City to be a battalion commander! Oh, what a great career! I didn't expect that our Fangfang would become a high-ranking official's wife!"
"That's right! I've always thought Fangfang is special. She's destined to enjoy a good life!"
“…”
The group of people said all kinds of things, some came to watch the fun, some were envious and jealous, and some were trying to blackmail her morally. Ye Fang handled it all with a smile on her face.
The two finally arrived at the door of the Ye family. Ye Fang breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "I don't feel so tired when I take care of the children at home!"
Qi Mingtao smiled and touched her head.
"Fang Fang?"
Ye Baozhu was stunned when she saw Ye Fang. She didn't expect that she came back. It was different when you married well. Seeing that the people she looked down upon in the past were now living better than her, Ye Baozhu felt a bit bitter in her heart.
Ye Fang had never expected to meet her. When she got married and joined the army, Ye Baozhu had not yet divorced. When she came back, she had remarried. She looked much thinner than she remembered, and seemed to have lost her energy and her eyes were dull.
She nodded, "Well, I'll come and see our grandma."
"Oh, grandma is in the house."
Ye Fang walked towards the east room, and as soon as she opened the door, she was blown away by the overwhelming smell of urine. Qi Mingtao also frowned and held his breath. This thing was no different from a poison gas bomb.
