The next morning.
After Ye Liuqing got up, Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan continued to do what they were doing.
One was working with bamboo in the yard, and the other was making breakfast in the kitchen.
Ye Liuqing looked around but didn't see Tian Danv and Tian Zhanpeng.
She went into the kitchen and looked at Liu Cuilan with curiosity.
"Mom, what did you and Dad talk about with your aunt and uncle last night?"
"Why aren't both of them getting up?"
Liu Cuilan glanced at Ye Liuqing.
"You little rascal, when you found your grandma and grandpa, why didn't you tell me earlier so I could be mentally prepared!"
Ye Liuqing scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I only found out about this yesterday when I arrived at the county town."
"Hurry up and eat this boiled egg. Look how thin you have become recently. There is not much meat left." Liu Cuilan said these words with disgust, but she felt distressed in her heart.
Indeed, during this period of time, Ye Liuqing was as busy as a top.
Fortunately, everything will be fine after this busy period.
Ye Liuqing took the egg handed to him by Liu Cuilan. It was warm, just the right temperature, not too hot to touch.
"We have to wait a while for the steamed buns." Liu Cuilan had just put them in the pot to steam.
"Have a bowl of porridge first!" Liu Cuilan served Ye Liuqing another bowl of porridge.
A simple breakfast of porridge with pickles and a boiled egg.
Ye Liuqing brought some porridge and some pickles, but did not go to the table. Instead, he stood by the stove and chatted with Liu Cuilan.
"Mom, have you discussed with your aunt and uncle when to go visit grandpa and grandma?"
Liu Cuilan paused for a moment, "Your aunt and uncle want me to go back with them this afternoon."
"That's fine. They drove here, so it wouldn't be that troublesome for you to go back with them. It's more convenient." Ye Liuqing thought it was okay.
"You go first. Wait a couple of days until Dad, my brothers and I finish the gift box thing and then we'll go."
"It just so happens that the Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days, and we can have a reunion dinner together."
Liu Cuilan nodded.
These men and children are all helping the village with things, and they really can't be left behind.
Ye Liuqing ate his breakfast faster and said, "Mom, I have to go out and do something."
In a while, Ye Liuqing will go to find the village chief Ye Guozhu to talk to him about the gift boxes and also mention the matter of installing the telephone.
"You don't want to eat the steamed buns in the pot?" Liu Cuilan called out, "These steamed buns are almost ready."
"No, I'm not going to eat anymore. I'm running out of time." Ye Liuqing had to finish talking to the village chief quickly and then rush back.
After all, there are guests in this house!
"Okay, when you're done, remember to come back for lunch and don't keep your aunt and uncle waiting for too long."
Liu Cuilan did not forget to give a reminder.
"Okay, I get it, Mom."
Ye Liuqing finished the last mouthful of porridge, put down the bowl, and wanted to leave.
Liu Cuilan stopped him.
"The steamed buns are out of the pot. Take some with you on the way."
Liu Cuilan knew exactly how much her daughter ate.
Liu Cuilan picked up two big steamed buns from the pot, turned around and pulled out a small bamboo stick that Ye Da had just sharpened in the yard, inserted the two big stick ends into it, and handed it to Ye Liuqing.
This way, you won’t burn your hands and you don’t have to hold a bowl.
Ye Liuqing held the string of steamed buns and ate as he walked.
…
Not long after Ye Liuqing left, Tian Danniu and Tian Zhanpeng also woke up one after another.
Last night, Tian Danniu and Tian Zhanpeng, brother and sister, stayed up almost all night and didn't fall asleep until dawn.
There is no other reason, it’s all because of Liu Cuilan.
Tian Danniu slept with Liu Cuilan and asked about her life before going to bed. Liu Cuilan briefly told her about everything that had happened since she was a child. Then, Liu Cuilan fell asleep, and Tian Danniu was unable to sleep because of a lot of unpleasant feelings.
Tian Zhanpeng slept with Ye Dagang, and before going to bed, they chatted about Ye Dagang's family life. Ye Dagang had nothing to hide, so he also told them a little bit. Then, Ye Dagang started snoring, and Tian Zhanpeng felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep.
When the two siblings walked out of the room, they looked at each other and found thick dark circles under their eyes.
Ye Dagang was throwing bamboo in the yard, Ye Jianhua and Ye Jianjun were helping, and Liu Cuilan was cooking in the kitchen.
"Aunt, Uncle, are you guys up?"
Ye Jianjun was the first to see Tian Danniu and Tian Zhanpeng.
"You guys are up so early."
"Is there anything we can do to help?"
Tian Danv and Tian Zhanpeng rolled up their sleeves and wanted to go over to help.
"Big sister, second brother, are you guys up?"
"The meal will be ready soon."
"Are you hungry? If you are, eat some steamed buns first."
Tian Danniu and Tian Zhanpeng both shook their heads.
"Not hungry."
"Not hungry."
The next second,
"Gugu~~~"
"Gugu~~~"
Two discordant voices rang out.
That's because Tian Danv and Tian Zhanpeng were hungry.
The two siblings felt a little embarrassed.
However, he had seen many storms before, so he calmed down immediately.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel hungry." Tian Danniu looked like she had no recollection of what she had just said.
"My little sister, your cooking skills are quite good! I didn't want to eat it at first, but the steamed buns are so fragrant that I can't help but want one." After Tian Zhanpeng finished speaking, he walked straight to the kitchen.
Tian Danniu also hurried to follow.
In the yard.
Ye Jianjun and Ye Jianhua looked at each other, quickly lowered their heads, and tried hard to hold back their laughter.
Their aunt and uncle are quite interesting.
Ye Dagang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
Invisibly, Tian Danniu and Tian Zhanpeng's approachable nature brought the Ye family closer to them.
In the kitchen.
Tian Danniu and Tian Zhanpeng helped while eating the steamed buns made by Liu Cuilan.
Tian Zhanpeng grabbed the guy who was lighting the fire and said, "Little sister, your steamed buns are really delicious."
Tian Danniu didn't get the chance, so she just took a rag and helped wipe the table. "That's right, I just can't do it."
"Sister, brother, if you like it, eat more. There's more." Liu Cuilan's mouth corners have never been flat.
"I'm done eating now. I need to save room for the vegetables." Tian Zhanpeng stopped after finishing a steamed bun. "My little sister's cooking smells so good."
Tian Danniu quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is stewed chicken, right? It smells so good, I can't even make it taste this good when I stew it at home."
"Really?" Liu Cuilan laughed even harder. "I just put some dried mushrooms that I picked from the mountains and dried in it."
"Little sister, don't be modest. Your cooking skills are much better than mine." After wiping the table and eating the steamed buns, Tian Danniu picked up the vegetables and started picking them again very naturally.
In the kitchen, the three siblings were talking and laughing, and the relationship between them was like the fire in the stove, burning brighter and brighter.
Fire, flame, blaze, blaze...
