Wu Chen served them pastries, peanuts, and melon seeds.
"She's too young to eat it yet, but she can eat it next year."
Wei Yuhan waved her hand, saying that the pastry was too sweet and cloying, and that Yueyue was only one year old and it was not suitable for her to eat it.
"Then you eat, Yueyue, your uncle will hold you."
Seeing Yueyue reminded Wu Chen of Qianqian when she was little; she was incredibly cute.
"Ah~".
Yueyue happily opened her arms and let Wu Chen hug her.
"This girl seems to like you quite a bit."
Wei Yuhan had been carried the whole way, and her arms were sore, but now she could finally stretch her legs.
"Although I've never been a father, when I was a teenager, I used to hold my little sister in my arms every day."
Taking care of children is really hard work, no wonder my sister is so thin.
Wu Chen originally thought Wei Yuyan was thin, but when he saw Wei Yuhan today, he found that she was even thinner. He wondered if it was because she was tired from taking care of the child or because she wasn't eating well.
"Yeah, sis, you've lost even more weight than the last time I saw you. What happened, brother-in-law?"
Wei Yuyan looked at Chen Yu with an accusatory expression.
"It's all my fault. I was busy outside and didn't come home on time to cook for your sister."
Chen Yu lowered his head in embarrassment, feeling somewhat guilty.
"Oh dear, don't even mention your brother-in-law. He was just learning to walk last month, and he's getting a little tired."
"She may have lost a little weight, but it's not that dramatic. She'll gain it all back by the Lunar New Year."
My sister truly cares for her brother-in-law; she quickly tried to make amends when she saw him being scolded.
"That's right, you can't go home unless you gain ten pounds in my house."
Wei Yuyan put the rice in the pot and prepared to go to Aunt Guihua's house to pick some fresh vegetables.
"Yueyue can eat porridge now, right? I'll cook some porridge for her in a bit."
Looking at Yueyue in his hands, Wu Chen began to fantasize about when he could have such a lovely daughter.
"I'm sorry to bother you during this time."
This was Chen Yu's first time meeting Wu Chen, but he didn't feel awkward at all; instead, he felt comfortable and stopped being polite.
"Brother-in-law, you're being too polite."
If Wu Chen weren't physically weak, he would have liked to carry Yueyue out for a walk.
“Angkor, I’m back. Oh, we have guests at home.”
A cold wind rushed in from outside, but seeing that there were strangers in the house, it quickly stopped.
"This is my sister and brother-in-law, and their daughter Yueyue. You've come back just in time. Go and buy two pieces of tofu."
Wu Chen thought that there were no dishes prepared at home, and even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice.
"Just eat whatever you have at home, no need to spend money."
Wei Yuhan said she would go to the kitchen to check the fire, because Wei Yuyan had just put the rice in the pot and she didn't want it to burn.
"Sister, brother-in-law, my name is Leng Feng. I am Wu Ge's sworn brother. From now on, we are all family. I'm going to buy tofu now."
The cold wind is becoming more and more unrestrained, revealing its true nature.
I wish I could settle down here for the rest of my life.
Wu Chen glared at Leng Feng. This kid was getting more and more outrageous.
All I did was ask him to call me "brother," and he actually said he was my younger brother.
Leng Feng noticed Wu Chen's unfriendly gaze and quickly went out.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you've come at just the right time. The new house is finished today."
After you finish eating, you can all go and take a look. You can move in tonight.
At the dinner table, Wei Yuyan kept putting food on her sister and brother-in-law's plates.
"That's enough, Yu Yan, you can't eat any more."
Looking at her overflowing rice bowl, Wei Yuhan realized she was going to be stuffed today.
"I'm done eating, let me hold Yueyue."
Wei Yuyan had been busy cooking and hadn't had time to hold Yueyue yet.
At this moment, Yueyue was still in Wu Chen's arms, and Wu Chen hadn't eaten yet.
"Hmm~".
Yueyue turned her little face to one side, unwilling to let Wei Yuyan hold her.
"Hey, Yueyue won't let you hold her."
Chen Yu was surprised, thinking that Wei Yuyan and Wei Yuhan looked alike and that Yueyue would like her very much.
As it turns out, Yueyue prefers being held by Wu Chen.
"Oh, you naughty Yueyue won't let your auntie hold you, your auntie is going to be angry."
Wei Yuyan pretended to be angry.
"Hug~".
Yueyue mumbled a hug and then reached out her hand to Wei Yuyan.
"That's more like it, little girl. How about you stay at your aunt's new house tonight?"
Wei Yuyan pinched Yueyue's little cheek.
"Ah~ Ah~".
Yueyue watched her mother and father eating with relish and opened her mouth to take some.
"Your porridge is still cooling down, it's too hot. Your aunt will take you to see it."
Wei Yuyan carried Yueyue to the kitchen to drink porridge.
After Yueyue finished eating, she became sleepy, so Wei Yuyan asked Leng Feng to stay home and watch over her.
I took my sister and brother-in-law to see the new house and settle the bill with Mr. Huang.
"I'm with you."
Wu Chen, leaning on his cane, also came out.
"Master Huang~".
When Wei Yuyan arrived at the new house, she found it quiet. Had everyone gone home?
However, the courtyard was very clean, with neat blue bricks laid on the ground and no weeds, which pleased Wei Yuyan.
"Hey, here I am. I'm checking upstairs. My sister and brother are here."
Master Huang greeted them.
"Yes, sister, brother-in-law, you two look around. Master Huang and I still need to have a chat."
Wei Yuyan told them to go see the house, while she took out the contract herself.
"Young lady, you still need to give me four taels of silver plus a red envelope."
Master Huang took out paper and pen and wrote, "Today, I will settle the payment in one lump sum, and we will not owe each other anything."
"Okay, it's ready, here you go."
Everyone has seen the new house, including the Li Cai and Li Fu brothers, and there are no problems.
Wei Yuyan readily paid the money.
"This girl is so straightforward. If the house leaks or cracks within six months, just come and find me."
Master Huang is quite confident in the houses he repairs.
"Okay, thank you."
Wei Yuyan took the note and put it away. She also went to check on the cleanliness of the new house. If everything was fine, she would hold a housewarming party today.
"Sister, your house is really nice."
After looking at the house, Wei Yuhan's eyes were full of envy. Her younger sister had finally gotten over her hardships and was living a good life.
"Right? I designed this house myself. When your family builds a new house in the future, I'll design one for you too."
Wei Yuyan took her sister's arm, believing that with her help, building a new house would be a quick success.
"Okay, I'm really looking forward to it."
The older sister smiled, revealing a few white teeth.
"You two can sleep in the middle room tonight. Yueyue is small, and if she sleeps on either side, she might wander off and fall down the stairs."
Wei Yuyan had made up her mind: she and Qianqian would sleep in the three rooms, Xiaolei and Wu Chen would sleep in the other room, her sister and brother-in-law would share a room, and Leng Feng would still sleep in the small room downstairs.
"This... I'm afraid it's not enough room. Your brother-in-law and I can sleep in the old courtyard."
The older sister thought that with her younger sister and brother-in-law sharing a room, and Xiao Lei and Qian Qian each having their own room, plus the cold wind, there probably wouldn't be enough room.
