Yun Qiao nodded: "Almost."
"That's definitely tiring," Li Qiu said. "When your uncle and I first returned to Shanghai, we took Kang Ning and Yun Qing on a similar tour. We walked the same route all day and we were both very tired."
Yun Qiao said: "The two children are very energetic. I didn't feel tired while shopping. It was only when we finished shopping and were about to go home that I felt particularly tired."
"If you're tired, go to bed early. It'll help you get up earlier tomorrow." Li Qiuqiu said, "Didn't you tell me earlier that you were taking the two children to visit Tingjun's grandmother at the nursing home tomorrow? It would be impolite to go late."
Yun Qiao hummed, "I know."
As they were talking, Li Qiu, Yun Qiao and others came into the house one after another.
The living room is connected to the dining room. Yun Qiao pushed open the door and just entered the living room, he smelled the aroma of food.
He Yan and He Yi instantly perked up when they smelled the aroma of meat, and ran to the bathroom to wash their hands and prepare to eat.
Li Qiuqiu asked Ye Kangning to go upstairs and bring Ye Yuzhang down. Yun Qiao washed his hands and went to the kitchen to help bring the food to the table.
During the meal, Ye Yuzhang learned that the two children had gone to the Bund to play. He smiled kindly and asked the two children if they had fun playing outside yesterday.
He Yan and He Yi nodded in unison and said, "Very happy."
He Yan is a chatterbox. Without being asked, he tells everyone everything he did during the day like spilling beans.
"We took a cruise, visited the City God Temple, had some delicious roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo), and even wandered around a beautiful garden. We took tons of great photos..."
The little chatterbox never stops talking, but everyone likes to listen to the baby's sharing in a baby voice, so no one interrupts him and lets He Yan talk endlessly.
Finally, He Yan felt embarrassed, blushing and asking shyly, "Ah, did I talk too much?"
"Not much." Li Qiuqiu said with a smile: "Yanyan's stories are very interesting, and everyone likes to listen to them."
He Yan's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and he began to share enthusiastically: "Grandma Ye, there's a small stall selling roujiamo in Chenghuang Temple. The roujiamo they sell is especially delicious. Let's go there with Aunt Kangning and Uncle Yunqing in a few days."
"Really?" Ye Kangning asked curiously.
Yun Qing also asked, "How delicious is it?"
He Yan said: "It must be real. It's so delicious and fragrant. I'm still drooling just thinking about it now."
Ye Kangning said, "It's so delicious, I have to go."
"Let's try it too."
The children got together and quickly agreed to go to the City God Temple again in a few days.
The children ate quickly and ran off to play after finishing their meal. Soon, only Yun Qiao and Ye Yezhang and Li Qiu were left at the table.
Ye Yezhang then asked about Ye Lin's visit the day before.
"How's it going? You took her to see the house on Tamsui Road the other day. What did she say?"
Li Qiuqiu sighed and said, "What else can I say? She's very satisfied. But she also knew we wouldn't give her the commercial building on Huaihai Road, so she looked around and finally agreed to the house on Danshui Road. Before leaving, she asked me when I was free to take her to the Housing Authority to complete the paperwork."
Ye Yezhang said: "Tomorrow, I will have time tomorrow."
He felt the same as Li Qiu. He just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible so that Ye Lin wouldn't always be thinking about things that didn't belong to her.
Li Qiu nodded and said, "Then I'll call Ye Lin after dinner and ask her to take a day off tomorrow and go to the Housing Authority in advance to queue up."
Ye Yezhang said "hmm".
Li Qiuqiu said, "There's one more thing."
Ye Yuzhang asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Qiuqiu said, "The exterior walls and first floor of the house on Danshui Road are extremely dilapidated and need repairs. Ye Lin said she didn't have any spare money and couldn't afford it. I was afraid she'd regret it and start thinking about the house on Huaihai Road, so I agreed to pay for the renovations without discussing it with you in advance."
At this point, Li Qiu said with some regret, "The house on Danshui Road isn't small. I did some calculations after I came back and found that even a simple renovation would cost at least several thousand yuan."
"It's okay." Ye Yuzhang waved his hand: "A few yuan to buy some peace and quiet is not bad."
"I'm glad you don't object. I thought the same thing at the time. I just thought of it as buying some peace and quiet." Li Qiu sighed and said, "Now I just hope Ye Lin can abide by the agreement and calm down after getting the house. I can't stand her endless tantrums. A while ago, she even wanted to invite Gu Tingyu from Hangzhou to help her fight for our eldest brother's things."
"That's outrageous! Gu Tingyu and our eldest brother have been divorced for years. They divided all their property clearly when they divorced. How can they divide it again after more than ten years?"
"Luckily, Pan Zhiyuan persuaded her to stop. If that woman Gu Tingyu hadn't arrived, who knows what kind of trouble she would have caused."
Li Qiu became a little angry when he said this.
She had no good feelings towards Gu Tingyu. The woman appeared indifferent, but in reality she was extremely selfish and shrewd. During the years they were sisters-in-law, she had suffered many setbacks at her hands.
Later, it was revealed that Yun Qiao was not the biological child of the family, and the culprit for the child swap was Lu Yin, the eldest brother's former childhood sweetheart. Gu Tingyu took the opportunity to make trouble and insisted on divorcing her eldest brother.
Her reaction was wrong.
When a parent who loves his or her child discovers that his or her real child has disappeared, shouldn't the first thing he or she do is to find the child?
Until the child is found, everything else is unnecessary.
But she wasn't, she didn't care where the real child was, her first reaction was divorce.
It turned out that her elder brother had deceived her.
He concealed the fact that he had been engaged in the past and that his ex-fiancée was the culprit who stole the child.
She felt that she had been deceived and could not accept that this marriage was based on deception, so she was particularly determined to divorce her eldest brother.
The eldest brother also felt sorry for her at the time. When dividing the property, he gave almost 90% of his property to Gu Tingyu.
It was not until the Ye family was on the verge of collapse and Gu Tingyu married the director of the Hangzhou District Revolutionary Committee that everyone came to their senses.
In fact, she had known for a long time that the Ye family was unreliable, so she took advantage of the child's issue to divorce and get out before anything happened to the Ye family.
But it was too late by then.
