Chapter 967 Getting Married (3)
As soon as Ye Xilin went out, Li Guoer heard a commotion outside the door.
Just by listening to the sound, Li Guoer knew how lively it was outside.
Not long after Ye Xilin went out, Li Guoer was feeling bored when Ye Qingqing came over carrying a big food box.
Behind him was a jumping little dumpling.
"Aunt~, are we going to see the bride?"
"Yes, we are going to see the bride. This is your uncle's wife. You have to call her second aunt."
"Is the bride pretty?"
"Is it easy to get along with the second aunt? Will she hit people?"
"Will Second Aunt give me candy?"
"Will the second aunt be like an uncle and play with me?"
"aunt……"
The little guy was chattering, and there seemed to be countless whys in his little head.
Ye Qingqing was so confused by the noise that she didn't want to answer his question.
And I hope in my heart that Chenchen can be quieter in the future.
Ye Qingqing stood outside the door and knocked gently, "Guoer, I am Xilin's sister, can I come in?"
Li Guoer was startled when she heard the knock on the door and said quickly:
"Okay, sister, come in."
Ye Qingqing opened the door, holding a food box in one hand and holding a curious Xiao Qi in the other.
"It's still early for dinner. Xilin is afraid that you will be hungry, so he has prepared some pastries for you in advance. You can fill your stomach first."
"Okay, thank you sister."
Li Guoer was woken up by her mother and sister early this morning to dress up, so she ate a bowl of egg noodles in the morning.
After struggling for a long time, she was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back.
Ye Qingqing smiled and opened the food box in his hand. There were several different pastries inside.
"Sister-in-law is still in confinement. Xilin specially went to town to buy these pastries yesterday morning."
Li Guoer felt sweet in her heart, "Huh, I guess he has a conscience."
"Aunt~, why can't you see the bride's face?"
The little guy tilted his head and stared at Li Guoer, and even squatted on the ground, trying to peek at what the bride looked like.
Ye Qingqing pulled up the little guy who was about to lie on the ground.
"Xiao Qi, please call me Second Aunt. Second Aunt is the sister of the Li family who has been to our house before. You have met her several times."
Xiao Qi blinked, "Sister Li~, I seem to have some impression, but I don't remember what she looks like~"
Xiao Qi was still young when Li Guoer came here before, and we haven't seen her in the past two or three months. Children are forgetful and don’t remember much.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. Tomorrow Xiaoqi you can see what I look like!"
Li Guoer still remembered this little guy Xiao Qi, who was quite smart and cute, and she even hugged him before.
However, Ye Xilin said that the little guy is very naughty and mischievous now, so she is still a little scared.
Ye Qingqing took out the pastries from the basket and asked her to pick out the ones she liked.
Li Guoer picked up a piece of petal-shaped pastry, and when she took it into her mouth, she realized it was plum blossom cake, which tasted pretty good.
Xiao Qi looked at the pastries on the table and became greedy again. She swallowed secretly, and then looked at Ye Qingqing with big watery eyes.
"You little greedy cat, I really can't do anything to you."
Ye Qingqing picked up a piece of red date cake, then broke it in half, gave half to Xiao Qi, and ate the other half himself.
The room was quiet except for the sound of three people eating pastries.
But Xiao Qi was here, and the little guy's occasional nonsense words made them both laugh.
After eating the pastry, Ye Qingqing poured another glass of water for Li Guoer, and then said cheerfully:
"Guo'er, let me introduce you to the situation at home."
"Okay, I just got married and I'm still confused about things at home."
Seeing Li Guoer's interest, Ye Qingqing chattered about things at home.
"My parents are now in charge of the family. They are very easy to get along with. If you don't understand something or encounter any difficulties, just go to my mother."
"My mother is in charge of the Ye family, and she is in charge of everything in the house. If Xilin bullies you, just tell my mother."
Li Guoer saw that Mother Ye was weak and weak, but she didn't expect her to be so capable. She really can't be judged by her appearance.
"Grandpa and grandma are the anchors of the family. Although the old couple don't have anything to do now, they still know everything about the family. They are the ones I admire the most in the family."
Li Guoer nodded, "As the saying goes, an old man in a family is like a treasure."
She had heard Ye Xilin say a long time ago that the two old people were very wise, and that the Ye family could be where it is today, all thanks to the old couple.
"My eldest brother is busy at the grocery store in the town all day long, and my sister-in-law is also busy making roast chicken, duck and pastries. She is also busy with the two little guys Xiaoqi and Tangtang. Both of them are usually busy."
Li Guoer has been to Ye's house several times before, and she knows all this.
"As for Xilin, I guess you know it better than me." Ye Qingqing teased with a smile.
Li Guoer was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
However, Ye Qingqing did not wait for her to answer, and said directly:
"My family now owns a lot of property in the town. There are two houses with front doors on Juren Lane near the academy, and there is also a small shop over there on Pomegranate Lane."
"In a house with a facade, one of the front men opened a grocery store, and the rest of the shop and house were rented out."
Li Guoer knew about the grocery store, but she didn't know about the other shops and houses, and she didn't expect that the Ye family was so wealthy.
"In the village, there are two hills, Zhulin Mountain and Xiaohou Mountain, as well as 40 acres of paddy fields at the foot of the mountains. These are all reclaimed from barren hills and wasteland purchased a few years ago."
"In addition, my family originally had 3 acres of high-quality paddy land, 2 acres of high-quality dry land, and 5 acres of sandy land."
Just when Li Guoer thought that this was already a lot, Ye Qingqing unexpectedly said:
"The family plans to let the next generation study, and at least produce a scholar. This will not only exempt them from corvee and taxes, but also save the family property."
"So last year, my family bought a small house with one entry near the county academy."
"Xilin didn't tell me these things, sister, please let me slow down first."
Li Guoer knew that the Ye family was wealthy, but she never expected that they were so wealthy that they even bought a house near the county academy.
Hearing this series of family properties, Li Guoer was a little frightened.
The three of them chatted in the room for about half an hour, when they heard a sudden excitement outside.
The two of them could still vaguely hear in the room, several young men making noises and urging Ye Xilin to drink.
In addition to the sounds of drinking outside, there were more sounds of eating, and without exception, they were all praising the Ye family for their grandeur.
After finishing this meal, I probably won’t need to eat it tomorrow.
Li Guoer heard the sound of eating outside and urged Ye Qingqing to go out to eat.
"Sister, you go and eat first. I think Xiao Qi is hungry."
Xiao Qi nodded sternly and looked at Ye Qingqing eagerly.
The little guy had just eaten pastries and was actually not hungry, but smelling the smell of meat coming from outside made him want to eat again.
"Okay, then this little greedy cat and I will go eat first. Mom has left some food for you and Xilin, and you and Xilin will eat together later."
"Okay."
Ye Qingqing took Xiao Qi out, and not long after, the door was gently pushed open.
"Guo'er~"
As soon as Ye Xilin came in, Li Guoer smelled a faint smell of alcohol.
But from the sound of footsteps, he was pretty steady, so he probably didn't drink too much.
After Ye Xilin came in, he looked at Li Guoer sitting on the bed and couldn't help but laugh stupidly.
