The wedding ceremony was complicated, so the Ye family got up early and didn't even have time to eat a bite of food before people came to the yard with gifts. Ye Shan was busy today, so only the old couple of the Ye family greeted the guests.

There was also the wedding banquet to attend to, and Ye Bixian and Huo Xiuling wished they could split the work into two parts.

When Huo Duan, Gu Fengyan and Huo's father arrived at the Ye family, there were already quite a few people in the yard.

Ye Shan was wearing a bright red wedding gown and looking nervous as he followed Xue Da and a few more reliable men in the village to prepare the wedding sedan.

"Brother!" Ye Bao ran over, hugged Ye Shan's legs, and said coquettishly, "I want to go too, take me with you."

After all, she was still a child. She only thought the mandarin ducks and lotus flowers decorated on the wedding sedan were pretty, but she didn't know anything about etiquette.

Ye Shan hugged him and said, "Big brother is going to pick up your brother Jing today. He and he will take you out to play together another day. Hurry up and ask your brother Yan to take you to change into new clothes."

When Ye Bao heard that he had new clothes to wear, he forgot everything and pulled Gu Fengyan into the house.

Most of the people in the village came today. The men and their wives divided the work among themselves. Gu Fengyan didn't want to stay with Huo Duan all the time, so he said goodbye to him and took Ye Bao into the house to change clothes.

The room was also filled with daughters-in-law sitting there, eating melon seeds and wedding snacks.

Although Gu Fengyan was from Heqing Village, he was only familiar with these people... He gritted his teeth and pulled Ye Bao through a group of chattering wives.

As expected, a bunch of people stopped gossiping and just looked at him.

Gu Fengyan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, sweating silently.

A daughter-in-law from an unknown family stuffed a handful of pumpkin seeds into his hand and said, "I haven't seen you and Huo kid for a long time. Are you here to help your elder brother get married?"

Gu Fengyan smiled when he saw that she looked kind, "Thank you, sister-in-law. It's for my eldest brother's wedding..."

"We also want to grow medicinal herbs in the village... By the way, if you sisters-in-law have spare land at home, you can come to us. We will provide medicinal herb seeds and purchase them when they are grown." He added that this is a rare opportunity.

These wives are more informed than each other. They heard a rumor last night that the Huo family couple wanted to bring the villagers to make money together.

They were all half-believing and half-doubting at first, but after hearing what Gu Fengyan said, they all became eager to try.

The thoughtful wives talked a lot, fearing that they would suffer losses if they were late, and hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Sister-in-law has land at home, but I don't know if the medicinal herbs are easy to grow. If they are easy to grow, I will plant medicinal herbs on the land except for enough to grow wheat!"

There are only a few silver coins earned from farming in a year. The younger people in the village have all gone to the county to seek other livelihoods. The land will be left idle anyway, so why not use it to grow medicinal herbs and earn some money... maybe at the end of the year, they can earn more than the men.

The sound of firecrackers could be heard outside. Gu Fengyan smiled and said, "This is not the time to talk. If you are interested, please come to the old house tomorrow to find me and Huo Duan. We can talk in detail then."

The daughters-in-law all came to help. When they heard the sound of firecrackers, they knew that the bride-picking party had left, and they had to hurry to the kitchen to help prepare the wedding banquet.

So the matter of medicinal materials here will have to be put on hold for now.

People dispersed in a swarm. Gu Fengyan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took Ye Bao to change into new clothes.

Next, Ye Shan brought Liu Jingyu back... The whole courtyard was filled with joy. Liu Jingyu put on some rouge, and her face looked very good. She and Ye Shan each held one end of the wedding knot, and Xue Da announced the ceremony, and they got married.

The next step was to entertain and thank the guests. Ye Shan was worried that Liu Jingyu couldn't handle it, so he asked Gu Fengyan to help him back to the bridal chamber, and he himself offered a toast to thank them.

In the afternoon, the guests left in groups of two or three, and when the sun went down, the whole family gathered around the table to have a hot meal.

After dinner, Father Huo drank a few more cups out of joy and got a little drunk. Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan were exhausted after a busy day, so they said goodbye to the Ye family and went back...

The next day Ren Jiu was busy. According to the old custom, the Ye family had to give gifts to thank the guests today. Huo Duan and others had to help. In the afternoon, they also had to arrange the planting of medicinal herbs with the villagers.

The Ye family got up very early. Ye Bixian went to the county to exchange the rented tables and chairs. The newlyweds Ye Shan and Liu Jingyu helped to pack the gifts that had been bought in advance and then wrote them down one by one according to their names.

Liu Jingyu was incapable of doing heavy work and was the only literate person in the Ye family. He checked the names one by one with a gentle smile on his face, and his new red suit made him look very good.

Ye Shanni was cleaning up nearby. When Liu Jingyu smiled, the tips of his ears turned red.

"Brother Dashan, have you had breakfast?" Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan walked up and asked.

Liu Jingyu had rarely seen outsiders, so he stood up stiffly, at a loss. Ye Shan smiled and said, "Aniang and the others are cooking, you guys can eat together, uncle didn't come?"

Huo Duan shook his head. "Father was so happy yesterday that he drank a few more cups. He doesn't feel like moving today."

Gu Fengyan had met Liu Jingyu several times before, and now that they were a family, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly pushed him to sit down, "Hurry up and sit down, we are all family, don't be restrained, Huo Duan and I will call you brother from now on."

Liu Jingyu was a little embarrassed. He lowered his eyes and smiled gently, pouring tea for them from the table. "Brother Dashan also told me... Thank you for the ginseng."

"Being healthy is more important than anything else." Gu Fengyan shook his head and smiled.

After a few words, the atmosphere became much more lively. Gu Fengyan and Liu Jingyu checked names, Ye Shan and Huo Duan sorted out the return gifts, and when they were done, Huo Xiuling prepared breakfast.

The family sat down to eat. Ye Shan's eyes were glued to Liu Jingyu. He picked up dishes for him, served him porridge, and moved away the cold and hair-raising foods that were not allowed to be eaten... He almost cooled the porridge before feeding it to him.

It was normal for the two of them to be like this since they were newly married. It was the first time for Liu Jingyu to sit at the same table with the Ye and Huo family members, and it was also the first time for him to feel the liveliness at the dinner table... In the past, he always ate alone in a small room.

He felt a little embarrassed to be served so considerately and secretly glared at Ye Shan.

Ye Shan smiled foolishly, and nothing happened.

Gu Fengyan and the others were not surprised. Huo Xiuling served them some food and asked, "Aren't you busy planting medicinal herbs today? Your uncle, Dashan and the others can handle this..."

Ye Bao walked slowly to Gu Fengyan's side, "Brother, feed me..."

Gu Fengyan smiled helplessly, held him on his knees, picked up some cucumber shreds and fed them to him, while saying to Huo Xiuling, "The planting of medicinal herbs will be arranged for the afternoon. By then, Brother Dashan will have to go with us. Once he learns all these, the village's medicinal herbs business will be fully entrusted to him in the future."

It is obvious to all that their medicinal materials business is lucrative, and Ye Shan has earned a lot of dividends from helping them manage the business in the village, otherwise the Ye family would definitely not be able to hold the wedding banquet this time.

In the future, I will plant some medicinal herbs and let Ye Shan take care of them. When the business grows, I will earn more and more money, and Ye Shan will naturally profit as well.

When Huo Xiuling heard this, she was very happy, but when she looked at her honest child, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"You trust him and entrust such an important task to him, but I am a little worried... Dashan has always been an honest and stupid child. He is not as cunning as others. I am afraid that he will be used as a knife by someone with ulterior motives." She looked at Ye Shan and spoke earnestly.

Liu Jingyu was here, Ye Shan felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "Mom, don't say that... I'm doing very well."

Huo Duan also said, "Don't worry, Auntie. Brother Dashan is a safe person. Besides, everyone in the village knows each other well. No one can hide their moral character. Who dares to cheat Brother Dashan?"

Liu Jingyu coughed and said, "Don't worry, mother. When I get better, I will help you. Nothing will happen."

Huo Xiuling's beloved Liu Jingyu heard him cough twice and stopped thinking about anything else. She said seriously, "Don't run around with him. He's clumsy and can't take care of people... Just let him worry about it alone outside."

Because of his chronic illness, Liu Jingyu had rarely left the house since he was a child. Hearing Huo Xiuling say this, although he knew that she cared about him, he also felt a little disappointed.

Gu Fengyan fed Ye Bao a spoonful of porridge, "Aunt, you can ask Brother Jing to help. He is taking medicine and needs to move more to be energetic. Besides, Brother Dashan will take care of him."

Huo Xiuling looked at Ye Shan hesitantly.

Ye Shan looked at Liu Jingyu... Liu Jingyu blinked, Ye Shan smiled and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Jingyu is under my care."

"You guys..." Huo Xiuling knew that Ye Shan only listened to Liu Jingyu, so it was useless to ask. She smiled helplessly and nodded, and reminded Liu Jingyu, "You should also be careful. If you feel cold, hot, or tired, just tell them. The Ye family brought you in to enjoy happiness, not to suffer... You are a brother, don't compare yourself with Dashan. He can suffer and he should suffer."

Gu Fengyan and the others also looked at Liu Jingyu and smiled, agreeing with what Huo Xiuling said.

Only now did Liu Jingyu feel that he had truly integrated into this family. All the restraints and etiquette were swept away, and he did whatever he wanted as he felt comfortable.

While the adults were talking, Gu Fengyan fed Ye Bao a spoonful of rice here and there.

Ye Bao was ignored, his little face wrinkled, and he secretly glanced at Liu Jingyu...Liu Jingyu smiled at him.

Ye Bao was playing hide-and-seek, and quickly buried his face in the crook of Gu Fengyan's neck, and took another peek...

Gu Fengyan pulled him out with a smile, "Go, go find your brother Jing."

Liu Jingyu had no children at home, so he was delighted to see Ye Bao, who looked like a New Year picture doll. He awkwardly spread out his hands to motion Ye Bao to come over.

Ye Bao took a look, kicked his legs, ran over and pulled Liu Jingyu's sleeve, "Brother, you are so handsome, hug me."

The adults were amused. This little guy praised Gu Fengyan in the same way last time.

Huo Xiuling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I don't know who this little thing takes after. When he sees a good-looking person, he forgets everything. I'm afraid he will be a troublemaker when he grows up..."

"Don't bother Jing'er, or I'll punish you!" she scolded Ye Bao.

Ye Bao stuck out his tongue, climbed onto Liu Jingyu's lap and asked him to feed him.

Huo Xiuling was helpless. "It's amazing how this little thing has grown. He just ate so much at Yan Ge'er's place, and now he wants to eat again... He falls in love with everyone he sees. He will definitely be a playboy in the future."

Ye Bao was still able to understand what was said, and he was immediately unhappy, curling his lips, "I'm not! I like both brothers!"

After eating something at Liu Jingyu's place, he ran to Gu Fengyan like a busy man and said to Huo Xiuling, "Mother, I still want to sleep with Brother Yan today."

Before the others could say anything, Huo Duan's expression suddenly changed.

This brat is really pushing his luck. It wasn’t enough that he monopolized Gu Fengyan last night, so now he has plans for tonight.

"Stop clinging to your brother Yan, and get down." Huo Duan quickly peeled Ye Bao off and put him on the ground, "You are so old and still have no shame. When I was your age, I slept alone a long time ago."

The house where the Ye family lives was inherited from their ancestors. Apart from other things, it has many rooms, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.

Ye Bao also has his own room, but the old couple of the Ye family had him when they were in their thirties, so they treated him like a treasure and were reluctant to let him sleep alone.

After a long time, Ye Bao got used to it.

As children grow older, they have to learn to be independent.

Huo Xiuling was planning to let him sleep alone, so she smiled and said, "Xiaobao, no one wants you. Your brother is right. You are old enough, and it's time for you to sleep by yourself."

Ye Bao was stunned, blinking his big eyes and looking at a few people... and found that no one spoke for him.

Suddenly, he burst into tears with a loud "wow".

Huo Xiuling ignored him and just kept eating. Liu Jingyu didn't know how to coax her, so he looked at Ye Shan.

Ye Shan picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks and said calmly: "Don't bother him. Wait until he knows that crying is useless."

No one paid any attention to him. Ye Bao stopped crying and looked at Gu Fengyan eagerly, "Brother Yan doesn't like Xiao Bao anymore?"

Gu Fengyan's heart melted.

"How could that be?" He glared at Huo Duan who had bad intentions and hugged Ye Bao in his arms.

Seeing this, Huo Xiuling said, "Brother Yan, ignore him."

"Aunt, Brother Dashan's wedding just happened, and you have been very busy these days and have no time to take care of Xiaobao. Why don't you let him live with us for a few days? When we are free in the future, we can let him sleep alone to prevent anything from happening at night." Gu Fengyan felt soft-hearted, and based on the previous experience of Ye Bao having a fever in the middle of the night, he made the suggestion.

Huo Xiuling thought about it and was afraid that it would be the same as last time, so she agreed, "That's fine, his father and I don't have time to take care of him recently."

Ye Bao was happy now, nestling in Gu Fengyan's arms, looking at Huo Duan provocatively, "Brother Yan is the best."

Huo Duan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He just didn't like Ye Bao, but Gu Fengyan hadn't noticed it yet.

When Huo Duan thought about the fact that there was such a big light bulb standing between him and Gu Fengyan tonight, he suddenly felt like chewing wax and nothing tasted good anymore.
