89: Chapter 87: Ye Ge felt for the first time that his brother’s name was very apt 89: Chapter 87: Ye Ge felt for the first time that his brother’s name was very apt The dinner was incredibly rich. There were meat buns, and also fish and meat. So fragrant, it was truly too stimulating for the taste buds. And there was rice too. This was simply eating too well. Qin Yu felt a pang of guilt in his heart, it was too wasteful. But it really smelled so good, his mouth was almost watering. “Why not, let’s move over to big brother’s and eat together?” Rong Yan usually didn’t like sleeping and eating mixed together. But it seemed that where there were Kangs, this was the way meals were eaten. A small table laid out on the Kang, everyone sitting around it. “He has a medicinal smell over there, let’s just eat here.” Qin Yu, hearing this, had no objections. Originally he didn’t mind where he ate, he just thought that with so much food, it would be best for the family to sit together, not to leave big brother out. “Then I’ll take some over to my big brother.” Rong Yan stopped him, “No need to carry it over, let him come here to eat, he can walk now after all.” She had just checked him over, no serious issues, so there was no need to indulge him. Besides, as the saying goes, if you don’t indulge the young ones, the older ones certainly shouldn’t be. Qin Yu felt that was right, since big brother could walk, then coming here to eat was no issue. “I’ll go call him.” He ran out. Meanwhile, Rong Yan said to Qin Mei, “You stand aside, I’ll serve the food.” She stepped forward and brought all the dishes that were steaming in the pot to the table. Qin Yu hadn’t even entered the door when he started shouting, “Big brother, dinner time, sister-in-law says to come to the kitchen to eat.” Qin Ye replied, “Mm, got it.” Qin Yu heard that and turned back, but halfway through his return, he ran back again, “Big brother, do you need my help?” Qin Ye: “...no need.” “Alright then! Hurry up, the food won’t taste good once it cools down.” Qin Yu thought about tonight’s meal and rushed back to the kitchen. Actually, Qin Ye wasn’t in much pain, so he also came over quickly. When he saw the food laid out on the table, he was slightly surprised, “Is this from the state-run restaurant?” Rong Yan nodded, “Yes.” She felt the fish from the state-run restaurant tasted quite good, and so did the meat... She and Qin Mei couldn’t replicate those flavors anyway. Qin Ye said no more and sat down right away. Seeing this, Qin Yu quickly served rice for his big brother and sister-in-law. Finally, it was for his little sister and himself. Qin Ye picked a piece of fish, carefully removing the bones. He extended the direction of his chopsticks towards Qin Yu, who, thinking his big brother was serving him, passed his bowl over, “Big brother, I can do it myself actually...” Qin Ye glanced at him, then at the bowl he had passed, “Mm, it’s good that you think so, just do it yourself.” Then, without changing his expression, he redirected the deboned fish—over the bowl—into Rong Yan’s rice. Qin Yu: ...? Rong Yan: ... Qin Ye met Rong Yan’s eyes, speaking gently, “Don’t worry, these are the serving chopsticks, eat it! There are no bones.” Rong Yan: “...I can do it myself.” “I have good eyesight, I’m good at picking out bones.” Qin Ye couldn’t find the opportunity before, now that he finally could do something for her, he naturally took it. Qin Yu: ... Shit, he had made a fool of himself. I didn’t expect you to be this kind of big brother. You’re good at picking bones, but I’ve never seen you pick them for me or little sister before. “Big brother, maybe I should do it! Sister-in-law said you smell of medicine.” Rong Yan: ... I thought she meant the room smelled of medicine, right? And Qin Yu’s words made Qin Ye’s gentle expression on his face freeze instantly. He glanced at Qin Yu indifferently, then turned to Rong Yan, “... Sorry, I didn’t know the smell of medicine on me affected you.” Rong Yan could see the too obvious disappointment and self-blame on his face: “... That’s not the case, the bones you picked are fine, it saved me some trouble...” The gentleness returned to Qin Ye’s face. “Then I’ll pick more bones for you.” Rong Yan: ... That’s not necessary. But seeing how enthusiastic he looked, the refusal stuck in her throat. Oh well, if he wanted to do it, then let him! Qin Yu dared not look any more. He always felt that his big brother’s gaze towards him was somewhat chilly. So, he simply focused on eating. The delicious food made him forget everything else. It was really good. After a meal... all in all, the family had a happy meal. It was the most stuffed they had ever been after a meal. Qin Mei and Qin Yu teamed up and snatched the chore of washing dishes. Rong Yan remembered something, “In a few days, when the house is all fixed up, shall we invite people from the village over for a warm house party?” Qin Ye hadn’t opened his mouth to speak, but Qin Yu, who was washing dishes, was not happy. He rushed over quickly, “No invite.” What invite? People in the village never invited them for meals, why should they have to invite others? This time Qin Ye agreed with him, “No invite, it’s not necessary. We didn’t even have a wedding banquet last time, so there’s even less need for the house.” He added afterward, “We don’t have that much interaction with the people in the village.” The timing of building the house was just right, close to the New Year when there was less farm work... of course, the most important reason was that his wife contributed a substantial amount of money. Those people wanted to earn a few extra bucks, so they could buy more food for the New Year, that’s why so many of them came to work. Seeing both her brothers-in-law agreeing, Rong Yan nodded, “Okay, then I’ll listen to you. I don’t really understand these things anyway, I was just asking.” Hearing her words, Qin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn’t hold the party, that was good; otherwise, how much grain would be consumed by so many people coming to eat? When they were nearly starved to death before, no one ever brought them any food, so why throw a feast now? He went back to washing dishes. Seeing this, Rong Yan said to Qin Ye, “I’ll help you back to the room.” Upon hearing this, Qin Ye visibly slumped, weak at the announcement, and nodded slightly, “Okay.” Qin Yu, who had been paying attention, heard his big brother and shook off the water from his hands before running back. “Big brother, I am stronger, let me help you.” Qin Ye glanced at him sidelong: ... What does it have to do with you? For the first time, he realized how fitting the name their father had chosen for this youngster. Unfortunately, Qin Yu did not catch the hint, and just as he was about to help, his big brother lightly pushed him away. “... You better help little sister with the dishes. Don’t let her do it all alone. I’ll be fine... with your sister-in-law here, it’s on the way since we’re both heading back.” Rong Yan didn’t think too much of it, mainly because Qin Ye’s expression didn’t reveal anything else. “What your big brother said makes sense. I was going back anyway, I can help. Hurry up and finish with Meizi so you can get back to the house early. Come over later for the lesson.” Upon hearing ‘lesson,’ Qin Yu’s entire demeanor deflated. “... Oh, alright!”
