Ye Nian'an was unaware of the chaos that ensued after the Zhang family returned home.
She led her husband home with lots of snacks they had bought.
The little guy was carrying a paper bag, and the sweet aroma of pastries wafted out from the gaps in the bag.
Just then, Er'er and San'san woke up and were playing obediently in the yard.
Upon hearing footsteps, they immediately turned around.
"Mommy~ Big pot~"
Er'er and San'san pounced over like two little butterflies, their soft little hands tightly hugging Ye Nian'an's legs.
Ye Nian'an squatted down and kissed their rosy cheeks one by one, speaking softly.
"Oh, the kids are awake. I just bought some snacks. Wash your hands and let Grandma and Grandma eat together."
"Okay!"
The three little ones cheered and ran to the well, each vying to be the first to wash their hands.
Then he went and called Chi Xinyao and Jin Xiangyu.
When the children brought the two elderly people over, small stools had already been set up in the yard.
Golden glutinous rice strips and crispy peach shortbread are piled up like a small mountain on a blue and white porcelain plate.
The family was in the yard, basking in the warm sunshine and eating the snacks they had bought. It couldn't have been more pleasant.
Just then, the courtyard gate creaked open.
Chu Xin'er and Song Yan walked in side by side.
"Auntie~ Song Yan Su Su~"
The three little ones, clutching their snacks, skipped and hopped over to the two of them: "Mommy bought so many snacks! Come and eat with us!"
Looking at her adorable niece and nephew, Chu Xin'er's heart seemed to melt: "Great! Song Yan and I just bought a lot of things, let's have a big meal tonight!"
The three little ones clapped happily: "Yay!"
While eating the snacks, Song Yan carefully peeled back the oil paper with his slender fingers and handed a whole peach shortbread to Chu Xin'er, saying gently, "Xin'er, have a taste."
"Thank you, Brother Song Yan."
Chu Xin'er blushed and was about to take it from him.
Suddenly, he noticed several intense gazes fixed on him.
Chu Xin'er: "..."
As soon as she turned her head, Ye Nian'an and the others immediately looked away.
stare--
The three little ones instantly stopped what they were doing and stared at Chu Xin'er and Song Yan with gossipy expressions, their chubby little faces full of curiosity.
Chu Xin'er felt a little uneasy under their gazes: "Why are you all staring at Auntie like that?"
"No ducks!"
The three little ones shouted in unison.
His gaze remained fixed on Chu Xin'er.
(all)
"Kids, it's not a good habit to stare at other people while you're eating."
It was only after Ye Nian'an gave them a nudge that the three little ones said "Oh" and looked away.
Song Yan couldn't help but chuckle: "Aren't the kids adorable? Xin'er."
"Yes, there's really nothing we can do about them."
Chu Xin'er shrugged, her eyes filled with helplessness yet also with doting affection.
I don't know how precocious these three kids are; they're so old and already so gossipy about adult romance.
I felt embarrassed.
Just as laughter filled the courtyard, a rapid knocking broke the warmth.
Chi Xinyao clapped her hands, walked over, and called out, "Who is it?"
"I am Aunt Yao."
It was Ye Sheng's voice.
But there was a hint of urgency in it.
After Chi Xinyao opened the door, Ye Sheng rushed in, looking travel-worn: "Finally home! I'm exhausted from the journey!"
"Third Brother, I thought you were busy today and wouldn't be coming."
Ye Nian'an's curious gaze swept over Ye Sheng's disheveled appearance: "Were you being chased by someone?"
Ugh! Don't even mention it! It makes me so angry just thinking about it!
Ye Sheng simply sat down, picked up the teapot and poured tea into his cup. After drinking a large mouthful of tea made with spiritual spring water, he finally recovered.
Dada's chubby little face pressed against Ye Sheng's, and she reached out her little hand to pat Ye Sheng's cheek: "Third Uncle, don't be angry, Dada will blow on your cheek for you."
Er'er, holding up a peach shortbread, tried her best to get closer to Ye Sheng with her short legs: "Third Uncle, come and have some snacks, they're sweet, and they'll make you less angry."
San San looked left and right, and finally chose to extend her soft little hands to massage Ye Sheng's feet.
Surrounded by the three little bundles of joy, Ye Sheng's anger had long since dissipated, and he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh my, my nieces and nephews are so wonderful and filial!"
The anger that had just been ignited by that crazy woman vanished instantly thanks to the three little ones' heartwarming actions, leaving only a heart full of happiness.
The thought that his remaining seven nephews and nieces, when they grow up, will also have the same personality as the three little ones, and will take good care of him, their third uncle, is very touching.
Ye Sheng was overjoyed.
"You weren't faking it, were you? Just to get the three little ones' attention?"
Chu Xin'er looked at Ye Sheng with a suspicious expression.
Given this guy's personality, he certainly wouldn't hesitate to do something like this.
"Get lost! I wasn't faking it. Stop making baseless accusations."
Ye Sheng rolled his eyes at Chu Xin'er.
However, she ended up being watched darkly by someone.
He shuddered instantly, and goosebumps stood on end.
“Brother Song Yan, look, this guy is bullying me, he’s bad.”
Chu Xin'er immediately hid next to Song Yan, her voice softening eight octaves, and secretly made faces at Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng: "..."
Others: "..."
My eyes almost popped out.
Is this still the same Chu Xin'er who could carry a sack of grain with one hand? Her coquettish behavior gave them goosebumps!
I've never seen Chu Xin'er so dependent on men before. She's always been a fiery and domineering person!
Moreover, after Chu Xin'er acted coquettishly, Song Yan's eyes instantly turned cold, like two ice blades stabbing straight at Ye Sheng.
If looks could kill, I'd be dead by now, torn to pieces.
The effect is outstanding!
Cough cough cough!
The three little ones were amused by Chu Xin'er and the others' appearance and laughed heartily.
Even Chi Xinyao and Jin Xiangyu couldn't resist.
The whole courtyard was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Alright, Xin'er, stop teasing your brother Ye Sheng. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Ye Nian'an took the initiative to speak, easing the tension.
"Waaaah! Niannian, you really are my savior! Third Brother didn't spoil you for nothing!"
Ye Nian'an's words at this moment were like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness, almost bringing Ye Sheng to tears.
She truly deserves to be my most beloved younger sister!
"This morning I was planning to go to the black market and then come here to help Niannian take care of her child. But halfway there, a stray cat suddenly jumped out."
"I didn't want to crash into it, so I swerved, but unexpectedly a woman on a bicycle was passing by and crashed into my bicycle."
"You said we bumped into each other, so be it, I guess I'm just unlucky. I apologized and offered to compensate her, but she wouldn't let it go. She said the things in her bicycle basket were very precious and kept pestering me to buy her a new set!"
Ye Nian'an raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"
