Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

"Where is grandma?" Ye Chuan asked.

Tong Yao whispered, "I heard that you built a huge bookshelf, and grandpa can't wait to take a look."

Facing Ye Chuan's smiling invitation, Uncle Wang's old face turned slightly red, as if his worries were revealed.

Ye Chuan warmly welcomed the family, but Uncle Wang was very unfamiliar with the life and environment of such a large family. He was curious and intrigued by the several times he stepped into Ye's house.

Yan Bugui, who was preparing to fish in the kitchen, was surprised when he saw this scene. He held up his fishing rod and looked at the people who came in one after another and said, "Master Ye, Teacher Tong?"

Ye Chuan smiled and responded: "Uncle, are you really going fishing?"

Tong Yao also greeted sweetly: "Hello, Teacher Yan."

Tong's father, Tong's mother and Uncle Wang greeted each other politely and then went to the main house.

As soon as he stepped into the main courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu sitting by the cold water sink washing clothes. She was not afraid of the cold winter. Sha Zhu also took the opportunity to find some clothes to help pretend to wash them.

While they were chatting animatedly, Ye Chuan led everyone into the courtyard and the voice disappeared immediately.

Sha Zhu stared at them with a dull look in his eyes.

Because they were going to decide on the wedding dates for their two children today, Tong Yao put on some light makeup and dressed up a little. She was already a peerless beauty, and now she looked even more charming.

Sha Zhu suddenly felt that Qin Huairu beside him was no longer fragrant. Tong Yao's coquettish look revealed innocence, and in her innocence there was a hint of mischief, which immediately attracted him.

Looking at the radiant Tong Yao, Qin Huairu felt very uncomfortable. Comparing the attitudes of others towards her daughter, thinking back to her own marriage, it was simply incomparable.

She also visited the Ye family's home after renovation. It was the first time in her life that she saw such luxurious home furnishings. The Brazilian red sandalwood floor was as clean as new, and the earth heating system was both clean and able to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Ye Chuan completely ignored the conversation between the two and walked towards home while chatting and laughing.

Ye Yongshun was helping his wife cook. When he heard the noise outside, he knew that his in-laws had arrived. He quickly wiped the water off his hands and went forward to greet them.

However, when he saw there was an old man in the team, he was a little surprised and subconsciously slowed down his pace.

Ye Chuan walked over and introduced, "Dad, these are my girlfriend Yaoyao's parents. She is Yaoyao's grandfather." Then he introduced himself to everyone - his father Ye Yongshun and his mother who had just gone out.

Ye Yongshun and his wife went forward enthusiastically to greet Uncle Wang and welcomed the Tong couple with smiles on their faces.

After a brief greeting, the two sides went into the room together.

Ye Yongshun, who was walking at the front of the team, introduced them one by one, told everyone that the east wing was Ye Chuan's room, and led them to the west room to sit down.

Uncle Wang was eager to take a look at the bookshelf in Ye Chuan's room, but he was too embarrassed to leave early. He could only socialize while looking towards the east room.

Looking at their grandfather's funny appearance, Ye Chuan and Tong Yao couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Liu Yue chatted for a while and went to the kitchen to continue preparing dishes, and Tong Yao later joined in to help.

Ye Chuan originally wanted to accompany Uncle Wang to visit the room, but considering that his father was not good at socializing, he had to choose to sit aside.

Tong Yousheng and Wang Yuxiu praised the Ye family. They felt that they were reasonable during the conversation and believed that they would not make things difficult for their daughter-in-law unreasonably.

The two were particularly satisfied with the decoration style of the house. This was the first time they had ever met a family that had laid floors in their home.

Ye Chuan noticed their doubts and explained, "Uncle, aunt, once the wedding date is set, I will buy furniture and appliances, including a sewing machine."

Tong Yousheng waved his hand and said, "Xiaochuan, don't be so extravagant. You have just started working and you don't have much money. Just buy what you need."

Wang Yuxiu glanced at her husband and said nothing more.

Facing the two elders' doubts, Ye Chuan said: "I have prepared the corresponding bills and funds, you can rest assured."

Uncle Wang couldn't wait: "Xiaochuan, let's talk about it in detail after dinner. Now take me to see your room!"

Ye Yongshun was puzzled as to why Grandpa Wang was so enthusiastic even though both parents had not yet asked to visit the new house.

So, Tong Yousheng and Wang Yuxiu stood up together and followed the two of them.

Liu Yue suggested: "Yaoyao, I don't need your help, your dad can go over and help me."

Tong Yao smiled and responded: "Aunt, please stop worrying, I'll do it."

Liu Yue joked, "You are so beautiful today, you are really not suitable to stay in the kitchen."

Tong Yao retorted: "Then don't you also stay in the kitchen every day to maintain your beauty?"

Liu Yue patted Tong Yao happily, "I knew you were sweet-talking!"

Tong Yao held onto her future mother-in-law and said in a coquettish tone, "I'm telling the truth."

Wang Yuxiu, who was at the end of the team, even felt a little sour. She had never heard her daughter speak like this at home, but now she was trying to please her future mother-in-law in this way at her husband's house.

With Ye Chuan's support, Uncle Wang walked into the house and the first thing he saw was a wall full of bookshelves on the north wall.

"Oh my God!" he exclaimed. It was the first time he had seen such a rich collection of books in a private residence.

The professors of the liberal arts college in the school have less than a few thousand books at home, but Ye Chuan is only a high school student and has never been to college, yet he has such a spectacular sight at home.

Wang Yuxiu, who followed in, was also stunned. Only Tong Yousheng thought it was insignificant.

He was not an intellectual and did not understand the shock in his heart when he saw this scene.

Ye Chuan's room is simple and tidy. There is a large desk in front of the bookcase, which is large enough for two people to doodle and create on the same desk.

The earthen bed was replaced with a simple wooden double bed. Ye Chuan had decided to convert the bed frame in the old Yang house into his and Tong Yao's wedding bed.

There is another large wardrobe in the room, which was completed according to his design. Although it is not beautiful, it has a spacious space and is divided into functional areas. There are large grids for storing coats, small compartments for underwear, and clear areas for clothing, summer clothes, shoes and socks.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Uncle Wang was extremely shocked. He saw many precious books.

When he first heard that Ye Chuan had more than 3,000 books, he was a little skeptical, thinking that the young man was exaggerating, but now he has seen with his own eyes that there are indeed thousands of them, perhaps more.

However, Ye Chuan must have more than three thousand books in his hands now, and there are still more than a thousand books in the system's collection space that have nowhere to be placed.

Even in Old Yang's house, some books are more precious than expected, and several ancient books are even more precious. "Xiaochuan, can I borrow this book?" Uncle Wang selected for a long time, and finally pointed to a book on the bookshelf and asked. "Grandpa, if you want to read it, just take it and treat it as your grandson to honor you!" Ye Chuan replied with a smile.

It was difficult for him to read all the books at once, so he was happy to please others.

As for those books, they were just decorations to him.

The truly important books are all hidden in the system's safe. If they were really discovered by Uncle Wang, he would be so amazed that he would drop a few teeth.

Uncle Wang could hardly suppress his joy, but as an elder, he felt embarrassed to take advantage of the younger generation, so he just carefully selected a dozen or so books that he liked.

In general, Wang Yuxiu expressed satisfaction with Ye Chuan and Tong Yao's future new home. As she has only one daughter, she naturally hopes that her daughter will live a happy life in the future.

The atmosphere at the dinner table in the afternoon was extremely lively as the parents were very pleased with the marriage.

Ye Yongshun and Tong Yousheng were both workers. Their discussion was wide-ranging and enthusiastic. They raised their glasses frequently and the atmosphere was extremely pleasant.

The lunch prepared by Liu Yue was extremely sumptuous. In addition to the usual ingredients of the cooperative, it also incorporated a lot of special ingredients that Ye Chuan rarely found in the market.

The aroma of rice filled the yard. Banggeng drank his favorite corn porridge. The rich aroma of meat rushed to his nose, making his bowl of soup look like pig food to him. "Mom, I want to eat meat too!" Banggeng put down his bowl and chopsticks, shouting angrily. "Where is the meat? Finish the porridge in your bowl!" Qin Huairu was fiddling with the auxiliary ingredients for Huaihua. When she heard this, she retorted angrily. "Why do you say that? You can't afford the meat, so you blame yourself for not being capable enough. Why are you still angry with your son?"

Qin Huairu defended herself aggrievedly, "When did I lose my temper with him?"

In Jia Dongxu's mouth, the porridge was as bland as chewing wax. Apart from the leftovers brought back by Sha Zhu, he had not tasted the long-lost flavor of 943 meat for a long time.

Every day, looking at the well-fed and well-clothed life of the Ye family across the street, he felt extremely unbalanced. Why was it that the Ye family, whom he used to look down upon, was living such a comfortable life?

He was once the most talented and promising young man in the courtyard, but now he has become a useless person. Even his own mother cannot accept him like this. "Damn it! They enjoy delicious meals every day, but never share some with us. Their food must have come from unknown sources!" Jia Zhang cursed indignantly.

Listening to the aroma of the Ye family's food, Yi Zhonghai sat there in anger. "Humph! Too much! We made so many delicious dishes, but we are unwilling to give a portion to the old lady. We are such a selfish family!" His point of view was obviously more radical than Aunt Yi's, after all, the latter's attitude was slightly more upright. "I've never seen you say this when other families made delicious food before." She reminded.

However, Yi Zhonghai retorted: "What do you know! Ye Chuan brings fish, meat and eggs home every day. Our family doesn't dare to be so extravagant, but he always refuses to give them to grandma. He really doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young!" Having said that, the meeting between the two families became harmonious. They discussed the wedding arrangements and decided to get the marriage certificate before the New Year and hold a big banquet after the New Year.

However, after Tong Yao's family left, Ye Chuan had a disagreement with his parents about the wedding.

After all, Ye Yongshun, who had lived in the compound for a long time, thought that the ceremony should be held at home, but Ye Chuan looked down on the people in the compound that he was familiar with, and hoped to choose a place that could accommodate forty or fifty people and had some respectability, and only invite close friends instead of notifying all the neighbors.

He took into consideration the different social status now. The Ye family was unwilling to get involved in the past, but now they cannot even think about getting married. This made Ye Yongshun agree with his point of view, and he finally agreed reluctantly.
