After washing dishes with Feng Xiaomei and chatting with her for a long time, Ye Zhiqiu said goodbye and left.
After all, he had to go to work tomorrow, and he needed to go home and rest so that he wouldn't be so rushed in the morning.
Young people who have tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time are always reluctant to leave, so Feng Xiaomei said that she would go to Ye's house tomorrow to play with Xiao Bailu.
As for staying overnight there, it doesn’t matter whether you stay with Xiao Bailu or with your lover.
I rode slowly back to Sanlitun. My house was still bustling with activity. The little ones were setting off firecrackers in the yard, and every time they went off, they would shout and scream.
Ye Wubing took the bicycle and said to Ye Zhiqiu with a smile, "Brother, someone came to give us a gift yesterday, but I don't know who they were. It was our father who received them. He also kicked us out of the yard. I don't know what they were discussing, and he didn't want to tell us."
Ye Zhiqiu's heart moved, and he wondered if it was his cousin who came, but he didn't ask too much. After all, this matter was not suitable for the second brother and others to know.
He asked, "Did you deliver food to your brother Fang yesterday?"
Because he was busy, all the tasks were handed over to Ye Wubing, including delivering dumplings on the first day of the New Year and soup and other delicious dishes on the second day. All of these were entrusted to him.
Ye Wubing nodded quickly and said, "Of course I will. I've been chatting with Brother Fang for a long time. He said his wife and children will be here in a few days, and I'd like to trouble you to help settle them. I thought you said you were going on a business trip, so I took over this matter.
When Sister Fang comes over, I will help take her around for a few days to familiarize her with the place, so that she won’t be unfamiliar with the place and won’t even know where to buy food.”
Ye Zhiqiu said with relief: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll also reward you with some money. If your sister-in-law Fang is short of money, I'll help buy the things for her."
"Hehe, that's great. I should have some money on me."
"Okay, I'll go inside and warm up first. You park the bike and put the wine, cans, and apples in the basket away. Share the biscuits with the reinforcements. There's not much left, so there's no need to save any."
"Okay, little sister, big brother brought back some cookies, don't you want some?"
"I want to eat it. It must be my sister-in-law who asked me to bring it. Second brother, quickly bring it back to the living room and let's eat together!"
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the living room and saw Ye Tianya and Qian Dafu playing chess. He greeted them and asked curiously, "Dad, Uncle Qian, where are my mother and Aunt Liu? Why can't I see them?"
Qian Dafu explained with a smile, "They went to the neighborhood office. It seems they were making tofu, and they went to help out. They said they could get a piece of tofu for free."
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Hey, it's not worth it to go out and help for two pieces of tofu. It's better for us to make it ourselves!"
Ye Tianya agreed very much and said, "That's right! I have already advised them that the street office has to consider selling tofu to so many people every time they make it. It's really hard work, and the food consumed is better than that piece of tofu!"
But your mother wouldn't listen. They both thought it was better to give away the free tofu since they were idle at home anyway. I couldn't persuade them, so I just let them do whatever they wanted.
Ye Zhiqiu sat down and handed cigarettes to the two of them. Just as he lit them, a group of little guys came back with things.
He smiled and explained to them, "Haha, I don't know why this fat girl is so popular! Aunt Chen asked me to bring her some apples, and her sister-in-law asked me to bring her some biscuits that someone else sent her! To be honest, my wife and mother-in-law treat her so well that even I, as the eldest brother, am a little jealous."
Qian Dafu said happily, "Hey, Xiao Bailu is so white and plump, and has a very sweet mouth. He hangs around Sister Xiaomei all day long, calling her sister-in-law "sister-in-law". When he sees your mother-in-law, he pesters her. Isn't that popular? Nephew, you are tanned now, and you are not as popular as before when you were white and clean!"
Ye Tianya also smiled and said, "In our family, only the eldest and the third were incredibly fair. Now the eldest has become tanned, leaving only the third one standing out."
Ye Zhiqiu remembered what Li Jianguo had said, and whispered to the two of them, "I heard from Xiaomei's uncle that extravagance and waste should be strictly investigated. It's not right for Xiaomei to be so pale. Next, I'll ask her to eat more carrots, or at least make her complexion a little yellower.
Also, Uncle Qian, if you have connections, you could remind them to be more presentable at the upcoming cadre dinner and reception. If they behave too much, they might be charged with corruption."
Qian Dafu shook his head and said, "I don't have any connections to remind them. I don't care about them so much. Have you forgotten about your aunt? I went to beg them with money, but they were unwilling to give me the work quota! Since he has no feelings for me, I won't worry about him. If he is really caught and charged with a crime and punished, I might even applaud harder!"
Ye Tianya nodded and said, "That's right, he looks down on you, so there's no need to get close to him. There's nothing to help with a person like that, so just pretend you don't know what's going on and just watch the fun. But son, you should remind your master uncle and the others, after all, they've been very kind to you."
Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Of course I have to remind them. This is really troublesome. The factory wants to deal with this material adjustment this time, which originally requires people from both factories to discuss together. They have to eat and drink when they sit together, right? But we ran into something like this. It's really hard to deal with it."
"Well, you just need to remind them. As for the rest of the arrangements, they know how to handle it themselves. You don't need to worry about it so much."
"Your uncle is right. What you consider a headache might be seen as an opportunity by others! If we knew when to conduct surprise inspections and then prepared a simple and frugal dinner, wouldn't that turn a problem into a good one?"
Before Ye Zhiqiu could say anything, Ye Bailu stuffed a biscuit into his mouth, and he had no choice but to eat it.
"Brother, are these cookies delicious?"
"It's delicious. Why? Don't you like it?"
"No, don't you feel your mouth is dry after eating such delicious cookies?"
"If you have something to say, just say it. Who taught you to beat around the bush when talking to Big Brother like this?"
"I just want to drink soda, and my second brother, third brother, and fourth sister also want to drink soda!"
"Huh? Little sister, I didn't say I wanted soda!"
"No, you said it secretly in your mind!"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Ye Bailu who looked so righteous, and he felt a little bit amused and helpless. This fat girl was so cunning!
So he took out the money, pointed to thirty yuan for Ye Wubing, and said with a pout, "Okay, I'll treat you all to soda. Lao Er, put the money away. I don't know when I'll be on a business trip. If I'm not home, you will be responsible for showing your sister-in-law Fang around the place and showing her the way to our house. Let Mom and the others treat them well."
Ye Wubing counted the money and said happily, "Okay, leave everything to me. I guarantee that the task will be completed!"
