Ye Chenming was very grateful. He secretly gave Ma Mingyuan some money. They had all given gifts for the Tang family's roof beam raising ceremony, but Tang Jianjun was too embarrassed to accept them, so he could only ask Ma Mingyuan for help.
Ma Mingyuan readily accepted the money; no matter how much the money for the roof-raising ceremony was, it was a good thing.
The auspicious day for raising the roof beam arrived quickly. Ye Chenming looked at his old friends, who were maturely presiding over all the matters related to raising the roof beam, and couldn't help but sigh, "They've all grown up."
After the main beam was erected, the house was almost finished. Ye Chenming inspected each part of the project and was very satisfied.
In early July, Ye Chenming finally returned to the capital with Yan Aidang, carrying with him his longing for his wife.
Looking at Yan Xiaonan, whose belly was already slightly protruding, Ye Chenming kissed his wife's small mouth.
The kiss lasted a bit too long. Yan Xiaonan was worried about the baby in her belly, so although she was reluctant, she pushed him away.
Ye Chenming held Yan Xiaonan in his arms, his face close to hers, and gently patted her back: "This time I will stay with you the whole time, until the baby is born."
Yan Xiaonan pouted and said, "So you only stayed with the baby until the birth, and then you didn't care anymore, huh?"
Ye Chenming hugged Yan Xiaonan tightly and said with a smile, "Nannan, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant, yet you still nitpick my phrasing."
Yan Xiaonan smiled and rested her head on Ye Chenming's shoulder. Of course, she knew that Ye Chenming didn't mean it that way.
In mid-July, the acceptance letter from Denmark finally arrived. As Wu Jinban looked at the letter in his hand, tears streamed down his face.
Grandma Yan patted Wu Jinban's head and laughed, "Are you happy or sad, my dear child? I just don't understand."
Wu Jinban hugged Grandma Yan tightly, choking back tears as he said, "Grandma, I'm happy, but I'm also heartbroken. I don't even know how I feel anymore."
Grandma Yan patted the five-and-a-half-pound child's back repeatedly, muttering "poor child."
With Grandma Yan's gentle comforting words, Wu Jinban stopped crying and his emotions gradually calmed down.
"Grandma, I'll be leaving here in a few days. Please take care of yourself and live a long and healthy life."
"Yes, my two babies, Liu Jin and Wu Jin and a half, are both good children. Grandma is looking forward to seeing your children," Grandma Yan said happily.
Five-and-a-half-pound finger held up: "Grandma, you have to keep your word. You'll have to wait for my child to come and see you."
Grandma Yan also stretched out her little finger, making a pinky promise with Wu Jinban that they would hang themselves together for a hundred years without any change.
Ye Ren and Fu Qingping stood to the side, watching the grandfather and grandson make such an agreement, and smiled knowingly.
Wu Jinban bowed respectfully to Ye Ren and Fu Qingping, saying, "Thank you for your help, Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma. Yan Qiusheng will never forget it."
Ye Ren grabbed Wu Jin and a half jin. Was it really necessary to bow so much for such a small favor to a child? Really.
Perhaps due to the sudden movement, Ye Ren's hand gripping his cane slipped, and he fell forward.
Wu Jin was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, and without thinking, he hugged Ye Ren tightly.
Perhaps he didn't control his weight properly, and he started to tilt to the side.
And so the two of them fell to the ground. The moment they hit the ground, Wu Jin Ban used all his strength to twist his position, and Ye Ren crashed heavily onto him.
Fu Qingping and Grandma Yan were both startled. Grandma Yan even stood up and tried to help him up.
But they were stopped by two wolfhounds, which barked and prevented Grandma Yan and Fu Qingping from moving.
The wolfhound's unusual behavior summoned Ye En, who was training the two children in the front yard, and other guards rushed in as well.
The eight-courtyard siheyuan was heavily guarded, with most of the guards stationed on the outer perimeter, and a small number of guards also stationed in the outer courtyard.
Because Grandma Yan dislikes having strangers around, and there are two fierce wolfhounds guarding the house, the guards usually don't come in.
Ye En rushed forward and picked up Ye Ren: "Teacher, how are you feeling? Can you move?"
The guards helped Wu Jinban up and, seeing the blood on his elbows, knew he had fallen hard.
Ye Yushu's eyes darted around, and she quickly ran to the study to make a phone call. She wanted her mother to come back soon, because she remembered that her mother's special ability was to treat illnesses.
Ye Tianru circled around Ye Ren, saying, "Grandpa, could you lift your hand, lift your foot, or move your waist...?"
Ye Ren's left hand was in severe pain; it was the hand that used the crutches, and he had probably twisted it.
My lower back is also very painful; I guess I twisted it too.
"Great-Grandpa, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." Wu Jinban never expected that just bowing would cause such a commotion in the house.
Ye Ren shook his head, enduring the pain: "It's my fault, how can I blame you, silly child."
The simple phrase "silly child" warmed Wu Jinban's heart. As he grew up and learned more about the Ye family, he came to see Ye Ren as a saint.
However, the saint was hurt because of himself, and the guilt in his heart was overwhelming.
"Great-Grandpa, may I call my aunt?" Wu Jinban asked.
"I called, and Mom said she'll be back soon, and Dad will be back soon too," Yu Shu ran out and announced loudly.
Ye En took a recliner and helped Ye Ren lie down slowly. He didn't know where Ye Ren was injured, so he didn't dare to move him.
Grandma Yan was worried and wanted to go check on Ye Ren. If he had fallen and hurt himself, Nan Nan would definitely be anxious.
But the wolfhound wouldn't let go; it even stood up, placed its two front paws on Grandma Yan's legs, and stared intently at her, refusing to let go.
Fu Qingping laughed: "Sister Yan, you should just sit still. Judging from their behavior, Nan Nan must have taught them that."
Grandma Yan then remembered, "Oh right, Nan Nan can communicate with animals, otherwise how could there be such a protective and intelligent dog?"
Ye Ren lay on the recliner, his left hand aching terribly, his waist tense and unable to move, sweat dripping down his face.
Ye Tianru and Ye Yushu kept looking outside, wondering why their mother hadn't returned yet.
Unbeknownst to him, a surge of mountain god power rushed into Ye Ren's body, and he felt a warmth spread throughout his body, instantly relaxing the tension in his waist.
And the stinging pain in my wrist was enveloped by a warm sensation, and the pain gradually subsided.
Ye Ren smiled, knowing that Yan Xiaonan had returned. He turned to look at the door, but couldn't find her anywhere. Could it be that the little girl's superpower had leveled up again?
If that's the case, the Ye and Yan families will be even safer. Ye Ren breathed a sigh of relief, his heart truly at ease.
Ye Yushu noticed that her great-grandfather had suddenly relaxed, and looked outside in confusion. Had her mother returned? Where was Ke Ren?
Yan Xiaonan drove the car quickly home. Yu Shu had excellent communication skills and explained everything that had happened clearly.
