Chapter 1717 Full Moon
"Hahaha, I'm waiting for you to have seven children, more than me and my older brother!" Ye Chenghe didn't believe he could have seven.
"Wait and see!"
"Make a bet?"
Ye Chengjiang's eyes darted around unnaturally for a moment, then he walked out. "Who made a bet with you? What's there to bet about? If you want to have seven children, you pay my fine and I'll have them!"
"Tch, bragging."
Sister-in-law Ye slapped him twice, saying, "All you have is a mouth. Can't you at least try to charm the girls outside? All you do is brag at home."
"Oh dear, I'm hungry. Quickly cook me some noodles."
"Eat, eat, eat! I must have owed you something in my past life. Don't you even know what time it is? You slept until 2 p.m. and as soon as you woke up, you came to me for food. You're not allowed to go out and steal tonight."
"I didn't do anything, I just went out for a bit, I'll be leaving in a couple of days, it's rare for me to be home for a few days..."
The next day was the full moon celebration, and all the families got up early to prepare. Chen Xiuni's family also came to help.
When Ye Yaodong and the others finished their work and saw the child, the child had already been washed and brought out. The child was wearing a red dress, tiger-head shoes, and a tiger-head hat. There were several gold and silver necklaces around the child's neck, several gold and silver bracelets on the child's hands, and several gold rings on the child's fingers.
They were all gifts from their own family members, including the children's maternal grandparents.
Their siblings would decide based on their means; some would buy a small ring, others a small bracelet or necklace. Since they weren't married, they didn't need to give red envelopes, so their sentiments were expressed through these small gifts.
Anyway, everyone will return the favor in the future.
Ye Yaodong joked with a smile, "Oh, you've already made a fortune after just one month? Nobody made as much as you today."
Everyone laughed.
Ye Yaopeng was overjoyed as he held his grandson, "That's right, he's the one who hit the jackpot today!"
Ye Yaodong hadn't seen a newborn in a long time. It was indeed so tiny that he didn't dare to hold it, only dare to touch its little hand.
"We can start the meal once the guests arrive. Everyone can find their own seats first, instead of crowding around here."
Mr. and Mrs. Ye quickly called out and led the guests who had come to see their child to their seats.
Ye Chenghe moved closer to Ye Yaodong and asked, "Third Uncle, my father said you're planning to leave tomorrow?"
"Yes, we had the full moon celebration today and have been back for several days. It's just right to leave early tomorrow morning, otherwise there's no point in staying any longer."
"I wanted to ask how the construction of your family compound is going? Is it finished?"
"That's about it. Let it air out a bit, do the finishing touches, and it'll be almost done. I'll go up and check later. We were supposed to arrange for an electrician to run the wiring and water, and once that's done, it'll be pretty much finished. What are you doing? We're leaving tomorrow, do you want to come with us?"
"Of course I want him! I've stayed home for three extra months! I've lost several thousand yuan, what a huge loss. This son is too precious. Now that he's finally out of confinement and has reached his one-month milestone, I have to hurry up and start earning money to support my family."
"Aren't you going to take care of your wife and child? They're still so young, they just finished their postpartum period."
"Of course not. How can you take care of such a small child? What if he gets sick from the change in environment? That would be terrible. The mother would have to breastfeed, so of course she has to stay home and take care of the child."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "We'll wait until they're a bit older before taking care of them. Right now, the baby is too young, and the mother has just finished her postpartum period. Neither the mother nor the baby can withstand any stress; they both need to be properly cared for."
“Yes, at home, my mother can take care of them, and her own mother can also take care of them. If they leave with me, who will take care of them? They will only suffer.”
"Then why are you asking me about the family compound? You don't bring your wife and kids."
"I wanted to pre-order it because I was afraid it wouldn't be available later. I'm thinking I can bring it around after the Chinese New Year next year."
"Then let's talk about it next year."
"I still have another year of carefree days ahead of me!"
"Aren't you aiming for two children in three years and three in five? Keep up the good work."
"That's what Ajiang said. I was just going along with him. They're not allowed to have that many children anyway; the fines would be enough to kill them."
"What are you afraid of? The next one isn't making you give birth at home. You can just go out and give birth. If you're going to punish it, just punish it a little."
"Let's talk again."
The baby's one-month celebration was quite grand, with over a dozen tables.
Ye Yaopeng's family emptied their savings at the beginning of last year to buy a boat and pay for their son's wedding. They've finally recovered this year.
Ye Yaodong noticed that his sister-in-law was also dressed in gold and silver today. He didn't know when she had gotten a gold necklace, gold bracelet, gold ring, and even gold earrings.
Judging from their wealth, they must have accumulated quite a bit. So did his second sister-in-law; I don't know when she bought them, I didn't see them during the New Year, but they're all very eye-catching today.
Mr. and Mrs. Ye were dressed the same way today, wearing all the gold jewelry that Ye Yaodong had previously given them. The whole family looked incredibly wealthy, covered in gold.
Ye Yaodong turned to Lin Xiuqing and asked, "Why aren't you wearing gold?"
"I took it all to Shanghai and locked it in a newly installed safe. But since it's such a long journey, it wouldn't be convenient to carry it around, so I just left it behind to avoid losing it."
"alright."
"You know what, gold has actually gone up a bit in the last two years. If you had bought it a few years ago, it would have been cheaper. If you sell it now, you can still make a good profit."
"Yes, keep it. It'll definitely go up in price later."
It's not just going to rise, it's rising in ways that will shock people!
“We’re not short of money, so we’ll definitely keep it. We can exchange it for cash anytime, and it looks nice to wear, so there’s no need to sell it. My two sisters-in-law even took time out of their busy schedules to buy some after the New Year.”
"Oh, I bought it after the New Year. I thought I bought it before the New Year."
"If I had bought it before the Lunar New Year, I would have worn it and shown it off during the holiday."
Ye Yaodong changed the subject, "After the banquet, pack your luggage, and we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, everything is ready. Mother said that after we leave, she will clean the house again and pick an auspicious day to move into the new house with Grandma. Should Dad stay a few more days to help with the move?"
"Yes, Dad will stay a few more days until the move is finished before going upstairs. Anyway, we can call someone else to drive if he doesn't come."
"Dad has been looking forward to this for a whole year, and he can finally move into his own big house as soon as possible."
Everyone has moved away, and his house is empty. But he doesn't plan to dig up the things in the ground. He's already gone to so much trouble to bury them, so he'll just leave them underground. He'll start a major overhaul when he needs them.
There's no need to touch it now that it's perfectly fine. Even if we take it out, he won't need it for a while, and we'll have to rack our brains figuring out what to do with it and where to put it.
Besides, there are still dogs in the yard, and his mother still comes to the workshop during the day. The most dangerous place is the safest place.
It's not unreasonable to treat those things as a fallback plan; he can't guarantee he won't go bankrupt while he's working on it.
"In two years, if he doesn't want to stay there anymore, let him come back to retire."
