Chapter 1456 - 1459: Packing Up_1
"Mommy, I want to hug my little sister." While waiting, Yangyang started playing with the little buns. Seeing Yueyue smile at him, he couldn’t help but give her kisses and want to hug her.
"You’re too small to lift her; wait until you grow up a bit more before you try hugging her." The child’s arms and legs are tiny—don’t let him drop the baby.
Upon hearing this, Yangyang felt troubled, "Mommy, by the time I grow a bit bigger, my sister will have also grown a bit bigger and heavier. Then I still won’t be able to hold her."
"Then you’ll just have to not hold her," she said, then seeing him pouting, she added, "You don’t have to be sorry. Save your strength to hold your bride in the future."
"Ah, Mommy, Aunt Dongyang is too slow. I still don’t have a bride," he said sorrowfully. "When Aunt Dongyang left yesterday afternoon, I asked about it. Uncle Shaoling said it would also take at least a year or two, and even then, it couldn’t be guaranteed that the girl would be my bride in one or two years."
"Then you can just wait patiently; you’re still young after all."
Hearing this, the little guy let out a long sigh and said in a very depressed tone, "Mommy, why is it so hard for me to find a bride?"
His words left Yang Qingtong, who had just finished eating and come out, standing there stunned.
He couldn’t help but wonder, was he growing too slowly, or was his little nephew growing too fast? Was he already thinking about a bride?
"Brother, are you feeling challenged?" Yang Xiayun followed behind him and saw his expression, then chuckled, "See? Yangyang is so little and already more anxious than you. If you don’t hurry up, all the good girls will be taken, and you’ll end up an old bachelor."
"Hey, are you teasing me, you little wench?" Yang Qingtong originally wanted to knock on her head, but just then, Ms. Wang saw him.
"Your sister is right. Land Officer Yang is married now; it’s your turn next," Ms. Wang said without being able to help herself, "Soon it’ll be your sister’s turn to get married. It wouldn’t make sense if the sister is married off and the brother is still unwed. People might think there’s something wrong with you."
"..." Hearing Ms. Wang speak, Yang Qingtong suddenly broke into a sweat, an increasingly bad feeling growing within him. Indeed, his brother shouldn’t have married so early—now there was no one to take the brunt for him.
"Mom, don’t talk about me so early in the morning. Let my sister-in-law acknowledge the relatives first. You should get your priorities straight."
"Do I need your reminder?" Ms. Wang glared at him, thinking she’d have a word with him later.
After that, Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan took their seats at the head of the table, while Yang Qingrui led Ms. Zhang to kowtow and offer tea to both of them. Yang Dachuan gave out a red envelope, and besides the red envelope, Ms. Wang also gave Ms. Zhang a set of gold jewelry for the head.
Then it was time for the younger generation to pay their respects to each other, and Ms. Zhang brought out gifts for everyone. Yang Qingtong and Yang Xiayun didn’t have to prepare gifts for Ms. Zhang, but Yang Chuxia did; she had a set of gold jewelry prepared, deliberately including two less items than what Ms. Wang had presented.
Ms. Zhang also prepared clothes as gifts for the children.
After the Yang family finished acknowledging their new relations, Yang Da’an, Yang Xiaochuan, Land Officer Yang, and others came over to introduce themselves and get acquainted.
By noontime, everyone had a family feast at the Yang family home.
In the afternoon, Yang Chuxia took the children home to pack, and meanwhile, she sent a messenger to inform Mu Shaoling that they would set out three days after Yang Qingrui’s visit back home.
This time, going to Shandong required many of the same people who were in Mianyang, but there were a lot of things to pack, and they also needed to hire some more people from the escort agency.
"Mommy, I want to bring the parrot with us."
"Better not take it. If no one takes care of it on the road and it dies, you’ll be upset. If you like, we’ll buy another one when we get to Shandong."
