Ye Zi’an saw his eldest son’s behavior and a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes, but he didn’t ask about it. Instead, he looked at his son with so anticipation, "Lele, do you want to co down for a walk? Is it okay if Daddy holds your hand while we walk?"
Lele saw that Ye Zi’an seed to be really looking forward to it and patted Sister-in-law Li’s arm to signal that he wanted to get down.
Once he was put down, he circled around his parents, very steady on his feet, and eventually ca back to Ye Zi’an, extending his little arms and calling out in a babyish voice, "Daddy, hug!"
He had just seen his son, and it was a ti for closeness. When his son made a request, he naturally fulfilled it.
"This little rascal!" Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but reproachfully tap her son’s little nose.
"He can walk, can’t he? Why doesn’t he want to co down and walk?"
At first, he thought the Eldest was late in learning to walk, but then, following Xiaxia’s words, it was not the case at all—the little guy clearly did not want to co down and walk.
"Oh, him? This little one, I don’t know who he takes after, lazy! Too lazy to walk. When we were in the village, he either wanted to be carried or he would just sit on the soft couch, but no way would he co down to walk."
Hearing his mother call him lazy, Little Lele buried his face in his father’s embrace.
Because he had his head buried, he missed the brief flash of embarrassnt in his daddy’s eyes.
Why, you ask? Because it was said that when his daddy was learning to walk, he also did not want to walk and always fussed to be carried.
So, like father, like son indeed.
Yang Chuxia saw it, though, and teased him with a smirk.
After touring the yard, Yang Chuxia let the children rest for a bit and then had the things they brought unloaded and placed in the yard.
Yang Xiayun and Luo Linyu, the two sisters, also each picked out a room. That’s right, these two sisters had co with her to Mianyang as well: firstly, to let the future sisters-in-law develop a rapport, and secondly, it was good for them to stay with her and gain so worldly experience. Moreover, since Old Mu had entrusted Luo Linyu to her, she couldn’t leave Linyu behind in Yangshu Village when coming to Mianyang, so it was just as well to bring one as it was to bring both.
It was just that the accommodations in the County Magistrate’s residence were too limited at the mont, and it was inconvenient for them to live. When Yang Chuxia had first entered, she had thought to make do for a while, but planned to find soone to expand or renovate the yard after so ti to ensure they would have a separate small courtyard to live in.
After they finished with the things, evening arrived, and the female head of the County Magistrate’s harem finally arrived. The He Residence was delighted, and their young County Magistrate even ordered that extra dishes be added to the al that night. Ye Wu, Ye Liu, and the other brothers were so overjoyed they could have jumped eight feet high.
There was no helping it; one couldn’t bla them for their happiness—the young master had grown increasingly frugal since arriving in Mianyang, squeezing each penny so tight it seed it could split in two. So it wasn’t just them, the treatnt of the whole residence had greatly declined.
After eating dinner, the young couple returned to their yard with their two sons. Yang Chuxia then asked, "Have you been mistreating them? Why are they all so overjoyed just because of an extra dish?"
"Pfft, don’t mind them, they’re just putting on airs," Ye Zi’an wouldn’t admit to scrimping with his money. He didn’t want to worry his wife.
Yang Chuxia figured there had to be a story there, but since she had just arrived, she didn’t ask further.
Sister-in-law Li had already prepared the hot water. Yang Chuxia washed the two sons first and then cleaned herself before sending Ye Zi’an to wash.
When Ye Zi’an ca out, he saw the two little dumplings playing joyfully with Yang Chuxia, and he felt a slight twinge of jealousy.
