Chapter 1908 Moving Away
Is Guangzhou fun?
Ye Xiaoxi got excited when she talked about it, "It's fun. It's not as fun as Beijing, but it's still a lot of fun. The streets are full of blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, and we even dared to greet them at our stall."
"Now that you've had your fun, it's time to get back to school and focus on your studies."
"Dad, we want to go again next year."
"Then we'll see how you perform."
"Don't worry, I will definitely improve my studies. My second brother also said that coming out to see the world will help me build courage and improve my spoken English. I'll ask you to let us go with you again next year."
"Your second brother told you to ask again next year, but you've already asked now?"
Ye Xiaoxi glanced at Ye Chengyang, who was eating silently with his head down, and said, "It's the same. We can agree on it in advance now."
“Your second brother doesn’t say a word, he just gives you suggestions so you can speak.”
She slammed her hand on the table. "That's right, absolutely right. That's exactly how my second brother is; he always comes up with ideas behind the scenes."
Ye Chengyang protested, "Weren't we just talking in the heat of the moment? I made a suggestion, and you all agreed. I didn't encourage you to say it, but you keep putting the blame on me."
"You're always the one who comes up with ideas, and after you come up with them, you just wait for me to talk to my older brother."
"That can be considered a division of labor and cooperation. Everyone contributed, so I didn't get any freebies."
Ye Xiaoxi listened to what he said and thought it made sense, as it suggested a division of labor and cooperation, but she also vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
Ye Chengyang changed the subject, "We were planning to go to Zhoushan this weekend, but we didn't expect you and Mom to come right back."
"I came back to see you all after the banquet since I had nothing else to do."
"So, are you still going to sea?"
"Yes, we'll go check out the boat tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we'll go to Zhoushi to wait for the fresh seafood boats to go out to sea."
"Alright, I heard that my uncle isn't going to sea for the time being, so I thought you weren't going either."
"You don't need to go next year."
Ye Yaodong originally planned to stay in Shanghai for two days before returning to the sea, but after visiting the shipyard and learning that his ship would be ready for delivery in about half a month, he decided not to go to sea yet and would wait until the ship arrived before going with it.
Ah Guang plans to stay in Shanghai and has been actively looking for a shop recently.
They also plan to move the twins' and Pei Yu's belongings to the new house together. After a year of ventilation, it's time to move in.
The three siblings were a little reluctant to move, as they were reluctant to part with Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi.
They grew up together, often living in the same house and always bickering. Now that they have to move out completely, it's going to be very difficult for them.
I originally thought I would only stay at the new house for a few days and then come back to live there, but I didn't expect that I would not come back after moving to the new house. I even had to take advantage of the weekend to pack my luggage and belongings.
Pei Yuyi said reluctantly, "Can we not move? Isn't it nice living here? My aunt didn't kick us out."
“But it’s your aunt’s house after all, not our own. You can’t stay here until you get married, can you?” Ye Huimei nudged her. “Go pack your things.”
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile, "If she doesn't want to move, let her continue to live here. It's okay. The two sisters have a good relationship, and Xiao Jiu is also reluctant to part with her. I have plenty of rooms here."
Pei Yu was pushed and kept nodding, "That's right, I'm still in junior high school, aren't I? It'll be many more years before I grow up."
“What did we tell you at home? It’s fine that your dad isn’t home, we can stay with your aunt and keep each other company. But now that your dad is back, how can our whole family still linger here? It’s one thing if we don’t have a house, but we have a beautiful new house. Go on.”
The twins said, "Then you and Dad can live in the new house, and we'll live here."
"Yes, yes, you go live in the new house, we'll live here."
"Don't be a broken record!" Ye Huimei was furious at the two of them repeating the same thing over and over again, making her repeat the same words twice.
"I'm not a broken record."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh even with his legs crossed while sitting on the sofa.
The crucial point is that Pei You was still shouting that he wasn't a broken record!
"Go and get it done right now, stop nagging."
Ye Xiaoxi clung to Ye Huimei's arm and said coquettishly, "Auntie, please let Xiaoyu continue to live here, otherwise I'm so bored."
"She's been living in your house for many years..."
“Yes, she’s been living in my house for many years. What’s wrong with her continuing to live here? She’s like my mother’s daughter. My mother said she’s been living in our house since she was one year old and sleeps in the same bed with me.”
Pei Yu nodded directly, "Yes, just let me stay here some more."
Ye Xiaoxi pressed on, "Just take the twins away and leave Xiaoyu behind."
The twins protested with wide eyes!
"Why!"
"do not want!"
"We want to stay too!"
"We want to stay too!"
Ye Huimei raised her fist and threatened, "Shut up, there's no room for discussion between you two. Hurry up and pack your things. If Xiaoyu wants to stay, then she can stay until the New Year and then move back to her own home after the New Year."
"Yay!"
"Okay~"
The two sisters jumped for joy.
The twins were treated differently and were unhappy.
"Why can my sister stay, but we can't?"
"That's right, why..."
"Shut up! Don't you know you're annoying? You're making so much noise. If you weren't my own children, I would kick you out."
"My aunt didn't say we were annoying..."
"She didn't say anything, don't you guys have any self-awareness?"
The two suddenly gained some self-awareness and did not refute it.
Ah Guang patted their heads and said, "I'll help you pack up and put your things away. I'll bring you over to play again this weekend since you don't have school."
"Ok."
Finally, after persuading the two to pack their luggage, Ye Huimei breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa.
"My God, this is such a headache. You must have had more trouble raising two sons than I have. What sins did I commit in my past life?"
Lin Xiuqing chuckled, "What do you mean by 'misfortune'? This is clearly a blessing. Others long for twins but can't even have one."
"I don't want this blessing at all. Whoever wants it can have it, but it will only make them die young."
“Twins are indeed a bit more troublesome. Since they are the same age, 1+1 naturally does not equal 2. It is definitely more tiring to take care of them than other families with two brothers.”
"And I'm the only one who's tired, I don't even have time to hang myself."
"Now that I'm older, it's much better. I go to school every day, and at most I get a headache for a while when I get home at night."
"That's still pretty tough."
"It would be great if you were a little older, then you could enjoy life to the fullest."
"fart."
Ye Huimei couldn't help but swear, "When they get older, I'll be even more exhausted. If I marry two daughters-in-law, it will be even more unfair. Like my sister-in-law, she'll be complained about by the other person no matter which family she goes to. They'll wish they could split her in two."
Ye Yaodong said, "Your two daughters-in-law will give you four grandsons to take care of. If they have twins, then you'll have eight grandsons to take care of."
Ye Huimei froze, her face filled with shock.
"Third brother, what kind of scary story are you telling? Isn't it the case that whoever's child it is, they should take care of them? How could someone possibly have four sets of twins?"
"That's hard to say. You're capable of having twins, so they'll have the twin gene too and might have more for you."
She shook her head violently, "No, just hearing about it scares me. Why don't you have more sets of twins? You two can take care of them."
Ye Yaodong smiled and nodded, "That would be best, I have no objection."
Lin Xiuqing replied with a smile, "He's not worried at all. He's already planned to hire a nanny to take care of his grandchildren, or he'll pay her as soon as the children are born. He'll be even happier if they have several more grandchildren in the future."
"It's good to be rich."
Ye Huimei felt genuine envy.
"If you start working hard now, it's not too late to make a lot of money."
"You have to be lucky to earn money; it's not something you can do just by talking."
"Then we'll hope the twins will work hard when they grow up. If I don't want to work hard myself, then I'll let my son do it."
Ye Huimei nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. When they grow up, let them work hard, and then it's my turn to enjoy life. It wasn't easy raising them all."
"Now that you've moved into your new house, shouldn't you throw a housewarming party and invite us to a meal?" Ye Yaodong started asking for drinks.
"Yes, we've already asked Mom to pick an auspicious day for us. We'll invite everyone for a meal then. It's just that some relatives and friends live too far away, so it's not very convenient. We'll invite those who live nearby to come over."
"Hmm, just a token amount will do."
Lin Xiuqing said, "It just so happens that Ajiang just finished his full-month celebration. Some of them haven't gone to sea yet and are still here. If we have some free time in the next couple of days, it would be convenient to invite them over."
"That's what I was thinking, so I decided to move there these past two days, and also to have my mother choose an auspicious date while everyone is still here. I wasn't sure if A-Guang would be able to come back for the full moon celebration, so I didn't make any reservations in advance."
"It's not too late to see now; we'll have to wait for a good day."
"Well, these past two days, besides looking at shops, we've also visited a few restaurants. Once Mom sets the date and I confirm the number of people, we can book a table."
Ye Yaodong said, "Then I should call Dad and ask him to come back a few days later."
"I called Mom yesterday and also called Dad. He needs to wait for the boat to leave, so we'll let him stay a few more days. Third sister-in-law, you can also invite your eldest brother and sister-in-law over for dinner. Since everyone's here, it'll be lively. We're all family, and there are no outsiders."
Lin Xiuqing replied, "Then I'll call them and tell them later."
They were talking about moving to a new house.
Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu also happily sat down in a corner and whispered to each other.
“Don’t move out after the New Year. We can keep pestering your aunt for another year.”
"I thought about it and realized I can't stay at your place forever, so I'm thinking of staying until this year."
"What?"
“I also have my own parents, so I can’t live here all the time. It’s okay for me to come and stay for a few days occasionally.”
"My parents don't mind."
“I mind. My mom gets a headache just looking at the twins, especially when they're doing their homework. I have to go home and help them manage their studies to ease her worries.”
"That's true."
“I can come over for a short stay occasionally. Anyway, we’re both in Shanghai, not in different cities, and we even went to the same school, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
"OK then."
The main problem is that they suddenly came to her door today saying they wanted to move out, which caught her completely off guard.
