Chapter 1807 Helping Lin Dongxue Take an Eye on Something

Chapter 1807 Helping Lin Dongxue Take an Eye on Something

After understanding the situation, they had a better grasp of it, and the next day when guests came to chat, they felt more confident.

After Lin Dongxue finished speaking, she joined Lin Xiuqing in cleaning and asked curiously, "Where are the three siblings? We've been back for ages and haven't seen them."

"They should be doing their homework in their room on the third floor. I saw their shoes when I came in. Ye Chenghu has evening self-study, so he probably went to school after dinner. I didn't see Huimei's or the twins' shoes, so they must have taken them out. Those two boys are really noisy. They wouldn't be this quiet at home, and they would disturb other people doing their homework."

"I also bought some snacks, which are perfect for the twins to eat as well."

"They'll be so happy to be back."

After Ye Xiaoxi finished her homework, she opened her bedroom door and went downstairs. When she reached the corner of the stairs on the first floor, she saw Ye Yaodong sitting in the living room watching TV. She happily ran downstairs.

"Dad, you're back! When did you get back?"

"Slow down down the stairs, or you'll fall and break your front teeth. Do you remember how you looked when you were a toothless kid?"

"No way! Wow, Dad, did you buy that on the table? What did you buy?"

The gift Lin Dongxue bought was still on the living room table, and she saw it at a glance.

Lin Xiuqing stood in front of the wine cabinet, holding a rag in her hand. "Can't you see any other living people at all? The gifts on the table are what your older cousin bought for you. Yours are a pair of shoes. Open them and try them on yourself."

Lin Dongxue also said, "Take a look and see if they fit. If they don't, I can exchange them tomorrow."

"Thank you, cousin! You're so kind. Since you're already here, why did you bring a gift?"

Lin Dongxue chuckled. "You're being rather polite?"

"You're too kind."

Ye Yaodong flicked her forehead. "You're such a little devil. Try on your shoes."

"Hehe, just right, my cousin must have been peeking at my feet."

"Do I need to peek at your feet? Why don't I just check your shoe size before you go out?"

"They look great! I'll wear these to school tomorrow." Ye Xiaoxi stomped her feet and walked back and forth, extremely satisfied with her new shoes.

"nice! You love it."

"I also saw another big blue and white sneaker, is it my brother's? It's as big as a boat."

"Yes, your brother loves playing basketball, so it's a good time to buy him a pair of basketball shoes."

"Then the eldest brother will be overjoyed to be back. What about the second brother?"

"Ultraman."

"Wow~ This is my second brother's favorite. He watches Ultraman every day and he loves it so much."

Lin Dongxue was also happy to hear this. She didn't know what to buy herself, and she just listened to the recommendations of the sales clerk in the mall.

"Then I made the right choice."

"Cousin, why are you suddenly being so nice to us? There's no reason for this unexpected kindness!"

Lin Dongxue poked her forehead with her index finger and said with a smile, "I bought you a gift and you got it wrong? I'm a guest here, I have to show my appreciation, and I'm staying for several days."

Ye Xiaoxi generously said, "Then you can stay wherever you like, for as long as you like."

"If I didn't buy a gift, does that mean I can't stay here?"

"How could that be? I welcome you to our home with open arms and feet. To repay you for the gift, I want to sleep with you tonight." Ye Xiaoxi hugged her arm and rubbed against her affectionately.

"I don't want to sleep with you. Don't be so ungrateful! You sleep so badly, kicking off the covers in the middle of the night and even sleeping on top of them. How can anyone sleep well with you?"

"Nonsense, I wouldn't do that. I lie in bed every morning, all obedient."

"Ha ha……"

"Don't you believe me? It's true, I look the same way when I lie down as I do when I wake up!"

"You omitted the process of sleeping."

"If you don't believe me, ask my father."

Ye Yaodong chuckled twice and changed the subject, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I had already eaten. I went upstairs to do my homework after I finished eating. Then my aunt took the twins out to play so they wouldn't bother us while we were doing our homework."

"Hasn't your second brother finished his homework yet?"

"Not yet. He has to do a lot of practice papers every day, so it won't be that fast."

When Ye Chengyang finished his test and came downstairs, his eyes lit up when he saw his Ultraman gift. He hugged the Ultraman and was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Big cousin, how did you know I like Ultraman?"

"Of course, I know everything."

Ye Chengyang happily held the one-meter-tall Ultraman figure and touched it all over. "It's a pity I can't bring it to school, otherwise everyone will be so envious."

Ye Xiaoxi suggested, "You could invite your classmates over to play at your house this weekend."

"Yes, I'll invite my classmates over to play then."

The brother and sister huddled together, chattering away as they talked about Ultraman.

When Ye Chenghu returned from evening self-study at 9 pm, it was even more lively, and everyone was happy to receive gifts.

If Lin Xiuqing hadn't noticed it was past 9 o'clock and urged them to go to sleep, they probably would still be gathered together playing Ultraman.

The next day, Lin Xiuqing and Ye Huimei got up early and went out to buy groceries together.

Lin Dongxue thought she was an early riser, but she was still a step too late and missed the two of them.

She went to the kitchen and saw that the porridge was cooked, but the pressure cooker was still under pressure. She looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, helped to fry a few eggs, make some side dishes for breakfast, and then went to buy a few fried dough sticks.

When Lin Xiuqing and the others returned from grocery shopping, the children had already gotten up.

"Buying groceries took a little longer, but thankfully you've got everything ready," Lin Xiuqing said to Lin Dongxue.

"I thought getting up at 6 a.m. was early enough, but when I got up, you had already gone to buy groceries."

"Go early so there's something to buy. The little ones should eat quickly and then go to school."

They slurped down six different kinds of food, big and small, and after finishing, one grabbed a fried dough stick, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and ran off.

The twins are now in the same school as Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, in groups of four, with bodyguards accompanying them. Ye Huimei no longer needs to be escorted, which saves her trouble.

Ye Chengyang and Ye Chenghu are both teenagers and can each ride a bicycle on their own.

After sending the children away, they quickly started preparing ingredients to entertain the guests at noon.

Lin Xiuqing and Lin Dongxue can still lend a hand now, but once Wei Songyuan arrives, they'll have to take care of things, leaving the kitchen to Ye Huimei.

Ye Yaodong got up early, ate breakfast, and then sat in the living room reading the newspaper and watching the news while waiting.

When Wei Songyuan arrived at the door on time, he was almost scared to death by the dog tied up at the back door.

After feeding the dog this morning, Ye Yaodong chased it to the back door and tied it up.

The leash was a bit long so the dogs could move around more easily. But no sooner had Wei Songyuan called out to someone at the gate than the two dogs poked their heads out from the back door and started barking wildly at the main gate.

Caught off guard, he was startled.

Hearing the commotion, Ye Yaodong quickly came out and shouted at the back door to stop the dog, which then withdrew its head back inside.

He put on a smile, "Comrade Wei Songyuan, is that you? Please come in. Those are two dogs I keep at home. They bark when they see strangers, but don't be afraid. They won't bite you for no reason."

"Oh, yes, yes, hello uncle." Wei Songyuan replied politely with a smile.

He looked very upright, tall and thin, probably from sitting in an office all year round, with his shoulders slightly hunched forward. His face was pale, not the kind of pale that comes from good health, but the kind of paleness that comes from being covered up by paperwork.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, her hair was styled neatly with hair gel, she wore a black down jacket over a gray cashmere sweater, and her leather shoes were polished to a shine.

He was dressed quite formally, and he was carrying a lot of gift boxes, so he seemed to value this visit.

Ye Yaodong seemed quite satisfied. As he invited the guests inside, he called out into the house, "Aqing, Dongxue, the guests have arrived."

The two quickly came out of the kitchen, took off their aprons, and went forward to greet people.

Wei Songyuan was already surprised at the door. After entering, he was nervous about meeting his elders, but when he saw the familiar Lin Dongxue, he relaxed and sat down on the sofa at their invitation.

"Young comrade, don't be nervous. We're just your aunt and uncle. You can be nervous when you meet Dongxue's parents," Ye Yaodong joked, handing him a cup of tea.

Everyone chuckled, and the atmosphere relaxed.

Lin Xiuqing also tried to reassure her, "Yes, just chat casually. We're all family, and we've watched Dongxue grow up..."

She slowly steered the conversation, starting with Lin Dongxue's upbringing and praising her as the first female college student in the entire village.

Then, the conversation turned to the man, and he was asked what the man thought about whether Lin Dongxue would work after marriage.

Wei Songyuan had already explained his family situation, and they had already learned about it beforehand, so there were not many discrepancies.

"...After marriage, it doesn't matter whether Dongxue goes to work or not, but I think it's better for her to have a job. It's also better for her personally..."

“My parents won’t interfere with us. They said that after we get married, we can live with them or move out, it’s up to us. Anyway, after we get married, we’ll separate and live separately.”

"If we don't move out, we'll eat and drink with them. If we do move out, they'll give us a settlement allowance, like my older brother and my younger brother. It's not much, but it'll be enough to settle down. We'll see if Dongxue wants to live with us then."

“I’ve saved up some money over the years. We each earn our own money and keep it ourselves. After we get married, we can give it all to our new family…”

He slowly explained his plans, and Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing were quite satisfied with what he said.

Having a plan is good, but the problem is that if you listen to your parents in everything, and then your parents don't understand the situation, then this kind of child in the middle is likely to become a pitiful little thing.

The main reason is that Wei Songyuan has a stable and excellent job that he can work steadily until he's old.

Even without Lin Dongxue, she doesn't have to worry about finding a partner. Now that her siblings are all married and have moved out, the house is more spacious than before, when it was so crowded that she could only sleep in the living room.

Thanks to favorable policies and rising wages in recent years, every household has become wealthier and more comfortable.

To be honest, if Lin Dongxue hadn't been classmates with her for a few years, and hadn't been a college student, and hadn't had the chance to meet her again, she wouldn't have had a chance.

Just because her aunt and uncle are rich doesn't mean her family is rich. Although her family runs a small business, none of them have a stable job, which is one of the better options for her.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing chatted with someone for an hour or two, had lunch together, and then asked Lin Dongxue to take the person home.
