"Aunt Chen, I'm back."
"Hey, I'll open the door."
Ye Zhiqiu heard Li Wubing's voice, but Aunt Chen had already gone to open the door, so he continued to pack his things.
After Chen Yuqing opened the door, she smiled and said to Ye Wubing, "Wubing, your elder brother is back."
Ye Wubing was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Oh, when did big brother come back! Hey, I'll go park my bike first, I have to go see what gifts he brought us."
After saying that, he pushed his bicycle back to the utility room and parked it, then ran into the room shouting "Brother".
Ye Zhiqiu said jokingly: "Why are you yelling? You've already answered my request, why are you still yelling?"
Ye Wubing said excitedly: "Brother, how much stuff did you bring back this time? Oh my God, so many good things!"
Ye Zhiqiu began to take out the things he had bought for him: leather shoes, three sets of trousers and white shirts, a pen, a watch, and a large bag of things his second aunt and the others had prepared for him, including a stack of red envelopes! As for how much money was inside, Ye Zhiqiu really had no idea.
"I bought these for you. This bag is the gift that Second Uncle and Third Uncle chose for you. Everyone in our family has gifts. Even my cousin and Second Uncle bought watches, pens, and red envelopes. I'll give them to them tomorrow. By the way, have you ever been to their house?"
"Hahaha, this watch is so beautiful, I like it so much. Brother, we have been there several times, and they have been there several times too. I will show you the way tomorrow, because I am the only one at home who has nothing to do. Now I have obtained a pass for me, so it is convenient for me to go there and play."
"Okay, then take your things back. Oh, and that red envelope of yours is full of Hong Kong dollars. Keep it safe, as you might need to go to Hong Kong someday."
Ye Wubing was stunned for a moment, then he uttered an "ah" and quickly asked what was going on. Ye Zhiqiu briefly told him not to be afraid, and that if he really went there, there would be many kind families there who would help him integrate into life there.
Ye Wubing frowned and said, "Brother, I received a notice from the army. If I don't go, I'm afraid it will have an impact on my family, right?"
Ye Zhiqiu was very surprised. He didn't expect that the second brother was really accepted! It was just that it was sent so late. After thinking about it, he said, "I'll find time to ask first. After all, this is actually a good thing. It means that if you join the army, you will have great room for advancement."
Ye Wubing nodded and said, "I want to go too. I want to be like my elder brother and have the experience of being a soldier!"
Ye Zhiqiu patted his shoulder and said seriously, "You are you, unique. You don't need to be like Big Brother in everything. You don't need to walk the path Big Brother has walked."
Ye Wubing said with a grin, "Of course!"
"Okay, take the things back and cook for Aunt Chen. I haven't given her her gift yet."
"Okay, big brother, is this watch waterproof? Can I wear it while washing vegetables?"
"Get out of here! This thing is waterproof, you can even wear it in the shower!"
Ye Wubing happily carried the things back to his room, then ran happily to make lunch.
Chen Yuqing smiled and said, "Zhiqiu, what gift did you bring me?"
Ye Zhiqiu explained with a smile, "My second aunt and the others know about you, Aunt Chen, and they've arranged quite a few gifts for you. However, they've packed up your things, saying there's underwear and other things. You can take them back and look at them yourself. These are what I bought for you, Aunt Chen. Take them back and look at them slowly. I still have to sort things out."
Chen Yuqing said happily: "Okay, I didn't expect them to buy me a gift. I'll take it back and take a look."
Ye Zhiqiu remembered the red envelopes and reminded her, "Aunt Chen, they also left red envelopes. They should be in Hong Kong dollars. You can exchange them at the bank. But if any of the uncles go to Hong Kong, you can also exchange them for them."
"Oh, there are also red envelopes. Your relatives are really kind."
"They are all very nice people. I didn't know anyone there, but my third uncle and his family even flew back from abroad to see me."
"That's great! It proves that your family values kinship."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, and Chen Yuqing took a big bag of things back to the room to unpack them.
After a long time of sorting, they finally sorted out the things. Most of the things Ye Zhiqiu bought were his own, so there were too many and too messy. The things prepared by the second uncle and the others were all packed according to the number of people. They just needed to find the bags with names on them and distribute them to everyone.
One of the suitcases contained things for Ye Tianya and his wife, so he didn't open it. The remaining two suitcases contained things for his three siblings, Chen Yuqing and her daughter, and his eldest aunt's family.
As for the things in Ye Zhiqiu's own box, they were actually part of the shopping trip his second aunt took him on. He couldn't bring back so many things, so he left a lot behind.
Ye Zhiqiu began to sort out the things he had divided up, taking out a bunch of bags to pack the things for Chen Yimin and the others: a watch, two pens, a tin box of biscuits, a bag of candy, a bag of cakes, a bag of sausages, and a box of chocolates.
After packing, he put it back into the space, and then put it out again when he went to deliver it. He just needed to put out the food at home and the food for his aunt and uncle Qian's house.
It took time to organize things, and before he knew it, more than an hour had passed. Only when Ye Wubing called him to eat did he go to the living room.
As soon as you step outside, the scene is completely different from being inside the house. Ye Bailu and the others don’t know what it will be like when they go to school.
I didn’t expect them to make noodles, and they were fish soup noodles with beaten eggs.
He smiled and said, "What kind of fish soup are you making? We made fish soup last night and there was still soup left for noodles at noon. You didn't make a big pot, did you?"
Ye Wubing nodded and said, "It's really a big pot. Our fish has thawed recently, and we see there's still so much fish, so we have to eat it quickly. So we gave a lot of fish to Mrs. Fang and Uncle Qian's family. We've been eating fish for many days, but Uncle Qian said that if he eats more fish, the oil will run out, so he won't accept it. We can only make soup, otherwise it will be such a waste."
Ye Zhiqiu said unhappily, "Did your eldest cousin send any? Why didn't Aunt Chen send some as gifts? It's a shame you're going through so much trouble over such a small amount of fish."
Chen Yuqing said helplessly, "I was busy with paperwork at the time and didn't have time to give it away. But your father took more than a dozen fish to give away. Zhiqiu, you too, why did you bring so many fish back? It's a waste of money."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, I'm not short of money, so I have to get more food. It's a good thing I'm not at home, otherwise I'd get some oil and fry the fish. I guarantee you won't have enough to eat."
Speaking of money, Chen Yuqing quickly asked, "Zhiqiu, is the Hong Kong dollar such a large denomination? I have four red envelopes in that stack, each of which contains a 500-dollar bill."
Ye Wubing also nodded and said, "Mine are also 500 each, but why do I have so many? I counted them, there are a total of 18!"
