"I also want to thank my sister."
Ye Beiping raised his wine glass to Ye Xiaoxin, his smile widening: "Over the years, I've caused you a lot of trouble. But now that I'm married, I hope my sister can find her own happiness."
"Sister, don't worry, I will support you in pursuing your own happiness just as you supported me and Xinyi."
Instantly, all the single people in the room turned to look at Ye Xiaoxin.
Although her skin is slightly dark, that's from the sun she got while working in the fields in Pingba Village. If you were to single her out, Ye Xiaoxin would definitely be the most beautiful girl in Pingba Village.
Ye Beiping knew all of this.
Because of her youthful ignorance, Ye Xiaoxin suffered so much hardship in her past life, and probably never had a good day until her death.
"Sister, this glass is for you and Mom. We hope our lives will get better and better in the future, and I also hope you can find me a brother-in-law soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Beiping tilted his head back and drank the baijiu in his glass.
ha!
After drinking it, his face scrunched up, the pungent, fishy taste assaulting his brain.
Tao Qiuyan and her daughter Ye Xiaoxin exchanged a glance, their eyes red-rimmed, and took a sip of their wine with smiles of relief and happiness on their faces.
Neither of them were big drinkers, and no one paid much attention to the sip they took.
Seeing that everyone had already drunk some wine, Ye Beiping chuckled and invited everyone to start eating.
"Alright, we've already toasted everyone, let's start eating now."
After saying this, he noticed that Aunt Li had just come out of the kitchen, carrying something in her hand.
He instantly understood; he had told Aunt Li that afternoon to send some over to Grandma Qiu.
He nodded slightly, gesturing to Aunt Li.
After Aunt Li left, the dining table became lively.
They kept serving each other food, and Ye Beiping kept piling food on Su Xinyi's plate, including chicken and duck.
Ye Beiping even went to the kitchen to get a new bowl and ladled a few spoonfuls of chicken soup for Su Xinyi.
This scene brought smiles of satisfaction to the faces of both Tao Qiuyan and Su Qingwen's elders.
Knock knock knock!
Just as everyone was toasting and enjoying their meal, a knock came at the door.
This surprised everyone, and they looked around.
"Everyone's here. Did you invite anyone else from Beiping?"
"Yes, everyone's here, aren't they?"
"I'll go open the door."
...
The last word was spoken by Hou Baolin as he stood up.
He got up and went to open the door without saying a word. When he saw the person outside, his smiling face instantly turned serious.
What are you doing here?
Hearing Hou Baolin's words, Ye Beiping frowned. For his childhood friend to say such a thing, it meant that the person outside the door was an acquaintance.
Moreover, he was someone Hou Baolin also knew.
But this is Hangzhou, and Hou Baolin has only been here for a few days. Who would he know, or would he know them himself?
Everyone looked at Ye Beiping with blank expressions, wondering if he had invited someone else again. After all, it was his moving day, so inviting some friends over was quite normal.
Ye Beiping, however, was lost in thought. He got up and walked over to Hou Baolin, only then realizing who the newcomer was.
His brows immediately furrowed.
"Peng Tian?"
That's right, the person who came was Peng Tian.
Upon meeting this person, Ye Beiping understood why Hou Baolin had asked that question.
It is common knowledge that Peng Tian has feelings for Su Xinyi, and in fact, if it weren't for that incident, Su Xinyi would also have feelings for Peng Tian.
That would mean that even if Su Xinyi's pregnancy hadn't happened, Ye Beiping would probably have been sidelined.
Standing at the door, Peng Tian was carrying some fruit. When he saw Ye Beiping, he gave an embarrassed smile: "Well, I heard you moved to a new house today, so I came to congratulate you."
Um?
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping frowned even more deeply.
How did Peng Tian find out he had moved to a new house?
Moreover, when they were in Pingba Village, they didn't have much interaction with the people at the educated youth settlement. In fact, when they met, they would either insult each other or fight.
Peng Tian has now returned to the city, and I never expected him to come back to congratulate me.
Ye Beiping felt increasingly uneasy. He suspected that the weasel was up to no good by offering New Year's greetings to the chicken.
But with so many people here today, I can't just lose my temper. There's no need to ruin such a joyous occasion for Peng Tian's sake.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and replied expressionlessly, "I received your congratulations. If there's nothing else, you can go back now; it's getting dark."
Peng Tian really didn't expect Ye Beiping to kick him out. He hesitated for a moment, then stretched his neck to try and see what was happening inside the room.
But the next second, Ye Beiping noticed Peng Tian's movement, so he touched the door and moved it slightly, which blocked the latter's view.
Seeing this, Peng Tian could only purse his lips.
He handed the fruit to Ye Beiping, forcing a smile, and said, "Then I'll head back now."
Ye Beiping showed no intention of accepting the fruit, and just looked at Peng Tian coldly.
The presence of three people blocking the way aroused even more curiosity among the people at the dining table inside. They even seemed hostile towards the people outside, judging from Ye Beiping's words.
In particular, Jiang Hai, Jiang He, and Tang Xiaolong had never seen Ye Beiping show any hostility towards anyone; he always had a smile on his face.
At the same time, I was also curious about who was outside the door.
Just then, Min Yuehua immediately stood up, walked to Ye Beiping's side, and when she saw Peng Tian, she immediately laughed out loud: "Peng Tian, it's you."
