This is the fabric I bought for Little Moon; the color is vibrant. I’m going to make her a cover-up that will look nice, said Ye Zijun. 0
 
Hey, big brother, what are you talking about? Why are you buying her fabric? You’ve worked hard to save those fabric tickets; wouldn’t it be better to keep them for Tingting’s clothes? Tang Zhicheng didn’t expect that Ye Zijun, a grown man, would think of buying fabric for his niece. 0
 
What’s wrong with that? Little Moon is my niece. As her uncle, why shouldn’t I buy her some fabric? Ye Zijun replied. 0
 
Tang Zhicheng didn’t press the matter further. Since Ye Zijun had this intention, they would accept it. He could always make it up in other ways. Isn’t that how it goes among relatives? There has to be give and take for relationships to last. 0
 
The dumplings are ready; it’s time to eat! Ye Fangfei called from the living room. 0
 
Come on, Dad, big brother, let’s go have a couple of drinks. We don’t have to work this afternoon anyway. As he spoke, Tang Zhicheng took out a bottle of good wine from the cabinet. 0
 
Let’s go; I need to drink a couple more glasses. Ye Jianguo followed him outside. 0
 
At the dining table, Tang Zhicheng poured a glass for his father-in-law and big brother, then poured one for himself. 0
 
Dad, big brother, let’s toast! Tang Zhicheng raised his glass. 0
 
Cheers! Ye Jianguo raised his glass as well. 0
 
Dad, big brother, let’s eat! After the toast, Tang Zhicheng urged them to dig into their food. 0
 
Ye Fangfei ignored their drinking and sat down at the table to serve Hao Chunying some dumplings while also taking care of Ye Ting. 0
 
Mom, sit down and eat while it’s hot! Tingting, do you want chopsticks or a spoon? 0
 
Alright, you eat too; don’t mind us. Hao Chunying was at her daughter’s home and felt free to help herself. 0
 
Tingting, eat some wood ear mushrooms; they’re good for kids. And here are some slices of sausage from your aunt. 0
 
Thank you, Auntie. Ye Ting obediently ate whatever Ye Fangfei served him. 0
 
Just as they were enjoying their meal with great enthusiasm, there was a knock at the courtyard door. 0
 
Who could it be at this hour? I’ll go check. Hearing the knock, Tang Zhicheng put down his chopsticks and said. 0
 
As Tang Zhicheng went out, Hao Chunying remarked, I wonder who it is; coming over during mealtime really isn’t very considerate. 0
 
 
Perhaps he has a child. Ye Fangfei replied casually. 0
 
After a while, Tang Zhicheng still hadn’t come in, and Ye Fangfei couldn’t sit still any longer. She got up to check outside. 0
 
At the door, Yi Xiaoli looked disheveled as she spoke to Tang Zhicheng. “Brother-in-law, is Zijun here with you? Can you let him out? I really need to find him.” 0
 
Tang Zhicheng didn’t want to let Yi Xiaoli in, so he kept the door shut. “You’re looking for him at the factory, right? You two are divorced; it’s not appropriate to come here looking for him.” 0
 
“I went to the factory, and he said he went home,” Yi Xiaoli insisted. “I also went to his home, and the neighbors said they all came over to your place for dumplings at noon.” 0
 
“Brother-in-law, please, let me in! I really need to find him!” Yi Xiaoli pleaded. 0
 
Tang Zhicheng didn’t want to let her in, not for any other reason but because Ye Ting was inside. He was worried that if Yi Xiaoli said something to Ye Zijun, it wouldn’t be good for the child to overhear. 0
 
“They’ll be back this afternoon. Why don’t you go home and look for him then?” Tang Zhicheng suggested after thinking for a moment. 0
