Chapter 2 - 1: The Not-So-Bad Dad_2
The village is poor, without even a single telephone, so when Ye Qiu came back, not a soul at the Ye Family knew about it.
It was dinner time, and Granny Ye, along with her second son Ye Xiu and his family, and daughter Ye Fang, were seated around the square table in the main room. A bowl of stewed meat, a bowl of pickled vegetables, and a stir-fried green vegetable sat on the table. Five people were eating with shiny lips from the oil, and nobody called Chen Wen, who was feeding the pigs, or the granddaughter Ye Manman, who was playing alone in the room.
When Ye Qiu returned, his face remained impassive, but he sneered in his heart.
"Oh, big brother is back!" Liu Ping, who was the first to notice Ye Qiu's figure while getting up to serve the rice, exclaimed in surprise with her loud voice. Her squinted eyes opened as wide as they could, not blinking as she intently stared at the bag in Ye Qiu's hand.
"Big brother!"
"Uncle!"
It was no exception for the third son Ye Fang and the nephew Ye Yu, who looked at him greedily, or more accurately, at the luggage bag in his hand.
Last time, big brother/uncle went out, he brought back quite a few nice things for them. This time there must be even more, both thought so simultaneously.
"Big brother has come back, how much did you earn this time?" Granny Ye hurriedly swallowed a piece of meat, her compact and sturdy body squeezing to the front instantly.
