Chapter 828 Full Moon Wine

"Brother, you really don't want to eat?"

"I just came back from a banquet, how can I eat more? Hurry up and eat!"

"Well, I ate them all!"

Li Juan was really hungry. She finished one dish, one soup and a portion of braised meat in no time, without leaving any soup.

Seeing the little girl finish eating, Li Ye asked casually: "Did you see my elder sister come to my house today?"

Li Juan answered casually: "I saw my elder sister's car parked at the door. When you arrived just now, she hadn't left yet."

Li Juan became embarrassed halfway through her words.

Just now when she was waiting for Li Ye, she clearly said that she was tired of riding her bike and just happened to take a rest at the entrance of the alley. Now she sees Li Yue's bike in front of Li Ye's house. Doesn't that mean "passing by the house without entering"?

How dare you lie to your brother? Are you itching for trouble?
However, Li Ye didn't seem to react. He just said to Li Juan, "Then you should go back with your elder sister! She has to go back to Zhongguancun too. Don't ride your bike in the dark."

Li Yue and Yang Yumin still lived in Zhongguancun, which was very close to Peking University, and the two of them could go back in one bus.

But Li Juan shook her head stubbornly and said, "No, brother. I have lights on my bike, so I can ride back in half an hour. It's just the right time for a walk and a bite to eat."

"You can do that!"

Li Ye did not force Li Juan anymore, but asked the restaurant owner to pack a portion of braised meat for Li Juan to take back and share with her classmates to try.

When you are out, you still have to maintain good relationships with your classmates. If you are too stingy, you will easily be isolated.

But being stingy is still good, at least no one owes anyone anything. If you are not only stingy but also like to take advantage of others, that would be fatal.

Seeing Li Juan riding her bicycle away like the wind, Li Ye suddenly shouted, "Remember to feed Xiao Hui and the others regularly. Don't let them get hungry and thin."

"I got it, brother. I'll make sure they won't starve."

Xiao Hui is the son of the big yellow dog Pavlov. He was left to guard the courtyard of Zaojun Temple. Now Li Ye rarely goes back, and that courtyard almost belongs to Li Juan alone.

The purpose of Li Ye shouting that sentence was to let Li Juan remember that it would always be her "home".

He believed that Li Juan could understand what he meant.

The little girl is not stupid, she just has had a little inferiority complex since she was a child. She seemed to have become more cheerful after entering high school, but recently, there seems to be signs of a relapse.

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye returned home with chicken soup. After entering the bedroom, he saw Wen Leyu feeding her son.

"The chicken soup Xiaojuan made for you should still be hot. Are you hungry? I'll give you half a bowl to try."

Wen Leyu turned her son over and continued to feed him, saying coquettishly, "What do you mean by half a bowl? I am eating for three people by myself now, so I need at least two bowls."

"Hey, I'll serve you three right away."

Li Ye quickly took the bowl and brought it to Wen Leyu's mouth with the soup and water.

Wen Leyu drank the chicken soup immediately, licked his lips and said, "This soup is delicious. Where's Xiaojuan? Ask her what she used to make it."

Li Ye cleaned up the empty bowls and whispered, "She was going to send the chicken soup to my workplace, but I had to entertain guests today and left work early.

Then she waited for me outside the street for a long time and didn't even come home. You said everything was fine before, how come she suddenly became so distant? "

"."

Wen Leyu blinked his eyes a few times, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "You are really careless and didn't notice Xiaojuan's changes. She is just being friendly to you now.
When I was in the hospital a few days ago, Xiaojuan ran into our mother. I saw that she was obviously feeling guilty, and even the way she looked at our grandparents was not right.

Especially after my stepmother-in-law wanted to come and take care of me during the confinement period, but you rejected her, Xiaojuan didn’t even dare to speak loudly.”

"."

Li Ye instantly imagined the scene described by Wen Leyu. The lonely Li Juan, sandwiched among Li Yue, Li Mingxiang, Fu Yiru, Fu Guiru and others, seemed like an "outsider" who didn't fit in.

"She's just imagining things. Our grandparents are not that kind of people."

Li Ye gave his own conclusion. It was because Li Juan was imagining things that she felt guilty when facing Fu Guiru. She was timid and cowardly like when she first stepped into the gate of the Li family.

"Ah~"

Wen Leyu sighed and said, "In fact, I know that several grandfathers and uncles are in similar situations. No one can blame anyone, so although the two families are not close, they will not be awkward when they meet."

"It will take you a while to get used to washing! It will be fine slowly." Li Ye also knew what Wen Leyu said, but people in different circles have different values. Han Chunmei and Li Juan are both conservative women, far from being so open-minded. They can only hope that time will resolve everything.

But Wen Leyu said, "Don't get used to it slowly. Little Youan will be one month old soon. What should we do with his full-month wine?"

"Full moon wine?"

Li Ye frowned slightly and said: "I really haven't considered this"

Although Han Chunmei gave birth to Li Youan in Hong Kong Island, giving the youngest son of the Li family a Hong Kong Island identity, Li Kaijian was, after all, a cadre of a mainland state-owned enterprise, and it was impossible for him to hold a full-month banquet openly.

So Li Ye didn't even consider this.

Wen Leyu said, "My stepmother-in-law is still in confinement, but she came to take care of me. She really considers herself a member of the Li family. Your family can't hold a big banquet for the baby's full moon, but a few close relatives can come over for a drink, right?"

"But you guys didn't let her come. Now she's alone in Hong Kong Island with no one to take care of her. Will she think too much?"

"Anyway, after I gave birth to Xiaobaoer and Xiaodouer, I felt so tired. If there was no one around to take care of me, I would not be happy."

"Sigh~"

Li Ye took a breath and felt that he was a little careless.

But his grandparents didn't say anything. As a grandson, should he tell them about this?

"Wow wow~"

Li Ye was thinking about something when he suddenly heard his daughter crying.

"Hey, is my little Dou hungry or has he peed?"

Li Ye quickly and carefully pulled her over, carefully undressed her to see if she had urinated or defecated.

"Well, if you don't pee or poop, you're hungry. Mother, is it time for you to eat?"

When Li Ye saw that his daughter's butt was clean, he reached out and poked the corner of her mouth. He found that her mouth automatically began to search, and he immediately knew that she was looking for milk.

But Wen Leyu said angrily: "Is this damn girl the reincarnation of a starving ghost? I just fed her one and a half, and Xiaobao ate half of it. Now she is hungry again. Even if I eat ginseng, I can't provide her with it."

"If you can't supply it, then I can just make her some milk powder! Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't get angry yourself, and don't scare your daughter."

Li Ye quickly started to prepare the milk powder as a "snack" for his daughter.

But this little guy is very picky about his mouth. Once he tasted the milk powder, he pushed the pacifier out. It took several attempts before he started to eat reluctantly.

Wen Leyu kept complaining: "I don't know where this girl got such a big belly. She robbed her brother of his nutrition while she was in the belly, and now she's still scrambling to eat more."

According to the rules of Dongshan, before a baby is given a "big name" after the full moon, he or she will be given two "nicknames", which are actually their milk names.

This nickname is usually given by the elders in the family. It is very casual. Some call it cat or dog, some call it chair or bench.

Li Ye's two children are pretty good. His son is called Xiaobaoer and his daughter is called Xiaodouer.

Xiaodouer was born stronger than her brother and had a bigger appetite. She would cry if she was not full. Her cry was so loud and high that it annoyed Wen Leyu very much.

On the other hand, my son Xiaobao can eat more or less and sleep for a long time after a meal. Compared with his sister, he is much less worry-free.

"Is Xiaodou crying again? Give me the bottle!"

Mother Fu Guiru heard Xiaodou'er's crying and came in. She took the bottle of milk powder from Li Ye's hand and fed him.

After feeding, Fu Guiru suddenly said: "Han Chunmei called this afternoon and your sister answered. Your sister said that the two children eat more. Han Chunmei said that her milk is enough and one child can't eat it, so she wants to come and help Xiaoyu look after the children."

"."

Li Ye swallowed his saliva and whispered, "It's not very convenient for her to come all the way from Hong Kong Island with a 1-month-old baby!"

Fu Guiru glanced at Li Ye and said coldly, "After all, she gave birth to a son for your Li family, but you didn't even hold a full moon banquet for her and didn't even ask about her. Do you have a conscience?"

Li Ye swallowed his saliva and said awkwardly, "It's my fault. I'll call her later to see whether we should hold the full moon banquet in Hong Kong Island or bring her to Beijing."

"Why do you always blame yourself for everything? Are you stupid?"

Fu Guiru cursed Li Ye angrily, poked Li Ye's forehead with her finger and said, "Don't take everything on yourself in the future. Your father is not dead yet!"
