Anyway, she didnât believe someone could actually feed rice into their nose while eating.
It had to be a joke.
âI donât believe it either, Grandma is exaggerating too much, who could be that foolish?â Ye Jie said, her eyes filled with helplessness.
âExactly, exactly, Grandma, you must be fooling us, just to make us happy!â Ye Qing spoke up again.
The eldest, Ye Bing, didnât say anything, but her expression made it clear, she didnât believe it either.
It really was hard to believe.
They werenât three-year-old kids anymore, not that easy to fool.
Grandma just didnât want them to watch TV while eating, thatâs all.
Feeding rice into the nose? Impossible!
They didnât believe it!
âDonât disbelieve it, such things do happen, if you donât believe me, ask your dad!â Mother Ye grew anxious.
What a mess!
These kids, actually saying she was making things up.
How could that be possible!
Just because one person doesnât doesnât mean there arenât ten, or even more, who do.
Why would she make up such a story?
These kids really are getting harder to manage.
âWhy should we ask our dad?â Ye Bing asked, genuinely curious.
Indeed, why should this matter involve asking dad?
Maybe dad saw it?
âGrandma, why should we ask our dad, why? Iâm also very curious!â Ye Qing looked at her grandmother and asked.
They were all curious.
âHaha, because your dad is the one in question. He was watching TV back then, started laughing and almost fed the food into his nose!â laughed Mother Ye.
âMom, what are you talking about? How could that be? As soon as Iâm gone you start bad-mouthing me,â Ye Fan said, entering with two plates of food, having overheard his mother talking ill of him.
Moreover, she did it in front of his own kids.
How could he command respect after this?
Ye Fan was resigned.
âDad, Grandma said that you once, while eating, watching TV, almost fed the food right up your nose. Is that true?â Ye Qing asked her dad innocently.
âDonât listen to your grandmaâs nonsense, itâs not possible!â Ye Fan outright denied it.
Mother Ye said nothing.
She felt the story might have been a bit exaggerated.
After all, it was in front of the kids.
âThatâs impossible!â Ye Qing declared.
âYeah, Grandma didnât want us to watch TV, so she made up an excuse,â added Ye Yu.
Only Little Fourth Ye Jie looked at her grandma and dad without speaking.
Actually, she sensed that what Grandma said was true.
It just happened when dad was a little kid, around two or three years old.
Should she reveal this or not?
Better not to say anything.
Otherwise, dad might spank her behind or slap her palms.
Getting spanked on the palms really hurt.
Ye Jie truly didnât want to experience that again.
âAlright, letâs get ready, itâs time for dinner. Grandma was just teasing you all,â Mother Ye said with a smile.
Ye Fan put down the plates he was holding and turned to serve more dishes.
Mother Ye and Father Ye also helped out with serving the food.
Soon enough, all the dishes were on the table.
Looking at the feast before them, Father Ye and Mother Ye were slightly stupefied.
Goodness!
There were sixteen dishes! Were they sure they could finish all of this?
âSusu, whatâs the occasion today? Why have you made so many dishes, and they all look delicious,â Mother Ye asked her daughter-in-law Bai Susu.
She sensed something unusual.
Normally, they would have four or five dishes, six at most, but today it had almost tripled.@@novelbin@@
Can they really finish all this?
Her daughter-in-law had personally cooked, and made so many delicious dishes; there must be some important event or a special day.
But try as she might, she couldnât figure out what it was.
What on Earth could it be?
âMom, today is a good day, a very important day!â Bai Susu said with a smile.
Seeing her mother-in-law clueless, Susu knew there was no need to rush.
âCould it be your fourth wedding anniversary?â Mother Ye asked looking at Ye Fan and Bai Susu.
âMom, youâre wrong, thatâs not it!â Ye Fan shook his head.
âCould it be the kids getting first place in their exams?â Mother Ye then turned to the four little ones.
âGrandma, none of us came in first recently, there havenât been any exams!â intoned Ye Bing politely.
Now Mother Ye was even more puzzled.
It wasnât her son and daughter-in-lawâs special day, nor was it the granddaughtersâ big day. So what could the occasion be? It certainly wasnât Chinese New Year yet.
It was only mid-winter.
Chinese New Year was still over two months away.
By that reckoning, there was no important day in sight.
She really was at a loss. What should she do?
What was this all about, giving off such a celebratory feel?
âYou guys tell me, I really canât guess it!â Mother Ye looked at everyone helplessly.
Ye Fan and Bai Susu exchanged glances, both noticing the laughter in each otherâs eyes.
âLetâs not worry about it, letâs eat first. We donât want the food to go cold; it wonât taste as good then. Weâll tell you after weâve eaten,â Ye Fan said to his mother, smiling.
On the side, Father Ye seemed to have guessed already, looking admiringly and fondly at Ye Fan and Bai Susu.
Their child had grown up and knew how to be filial.
That was wonderful.
Too bad his own wife had long forgotten his birthday.
