Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong woke up when he heard the slightest movement, without anyone calling him.

Lin Xiuqing got up early in the morning to make breakfast, and today's breakfast was particularly rich.

Usually it’s pickled mustard vegetables or various pickles and salted duck eggs. Today, in addition to these, there are scrambled eggs with shrimp skin, canned fish, preserved egg tofu, salted hairtail fish, as well as soy milk, fried dough sticks, and meat buns bought from outside.

Even Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang couldn't stop wowing when they saw the breakfast dishes.

Ye Chenghu secretly ate fried dough sticks and asked, "Mom, our family is having a hard time?"

"Mom, the food here is better than during the Chinese New Year. Is dad getting rich again?"

After speaking, Ye Chengyang also came to his side to break the dough sticks.

Ye Chenghu avoided the protest and said, "Don't take it from me. If you want to eat it, go to the table and get it yourself."

"Cheapskate."

Lin Xiuqing said: "Keep your voice down, everyone is still sleeping. Where can we eat better than during the Chinese New Year? There is a lot of fish and meat during the Chinese New Year."

"It was the New Year's Eve dinner. After the New Year, we would eat leftovers every morning, and we had to eat it for a week. How could it be as good as today's dish?"

Ye Chenghu also agreed, "Yes, there is no such dish on the morning of the Chinese New Year. It is just leftover vegetables with mustard pickles."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and knocked one by one, "You are the only ones who would say that you are so rich in oil and water, yet you still dislike it?"

"Mom, is it because dad came back and made you happy, so you are so rich this morning?"

Ye Chenghu chuckled and backed away from the door, worried that his mother would slap him down and prevent him from running away in time.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I heard it all last night. Dad made you so happy."

Ye Chengyang also nodded, "Yes, every time dad comes back, mom is happy."

"Stop talking nonsense. We have guests at home. Your grandparents are here. Your father also brought his godfather and stepmother back yesterday. He slept upstairs with you last night."

"My father's godfather?" Ye Chenghu was confused for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "The godfather who gave the red envelope, the one who is a high official."

"Yes, you go to the store and buy 4 new pairs of toothbrushes."

"Okay, right away."

"I just said that what I ate this morning was better than the Chinese New Year..."

"By the way, I'll call your grandpa and grandma over to my hometown for dinner..."

"knew."

The two brothers took the money and ran out excitedly, chasing each other to the canteen.

Ye Yaodong got up and washed up. He was very satisfied with the breakfast on the table and broke off a small piece of fried dough sticks.

Father and son are all three alike.

The freshly fried dough sticks are still a little warm and taste crispy and soft.

"It's delicious. It's time to eat these. Pickle pickled vegetables every day."

"The most delicious food is actually pickles and pickles."

Ye Yaodong did not refute.

"Not up yet?"

"It's only 5:30. I just heard the sound of people moving upstairs. I should be awake too."

"Those two boys are very active. They can't get up from studying. If they don't study, they get up earlier than the chickens."

"Isn't it proactive to take them to the county to watch the excitement? I was afraid of missing out and being left behind, so I got up early in the morning and sat at the door to wait."

While Lin Xiuqing was talking, she had already packed the bowls of porridge and put them on the table. Let them cool down a little so that they can be eaten later.

After a while, Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Director Chen also came down one after another. Ye Chenghu was particularly attentive and handed out the new toothbrushes to them one by one.

"Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandma, I just bought a new one for you."

"Haha, you are so good."

"Thank you. This is the boss, I guess. He looks taller and smarter."

Ye Chenghu was still a little shy after being praised, "You're welcome, hurry up and finish your meal. My mother has prepared a lot of dishes, which are even better than the Chinese New Year meal."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who would eat this during the Chinese New Year?"

"I mean it's better than what you eat in the morning after the New Year..."

Director Chen smiled and said: "Yes, I understand what you mean. Usually breakfast is not so rich, and the New Year's breakfast is not so big, right?"

"Yes, yes, everything we eat on New Year's morning is all leftovers..."

"I told you to talk too much. Go and wash your hands and eat."

When Ye's father and Ye's mother came over, dinner was just about to begin.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the guests and hosts enjoyed the breakfast.

Ye Yaodong also agreed with his parents that he would let his father drive the tractor later, pick up his family and his father-in-law, and go by himself. He would drive a motorcycle with Director Chen and his wife.

They have invitations, and they seem to have to receive clothes when the time comes and dress in uniform to worship, not all together.

After everyone finished eating, a large group of people cheered and walked towards Thean Hou Temple.

It was only around 6 o'clock in the morning, but the whole village had already woken up and was very lively. There were people coming and going around the beach.

Even the children got up early in the morning and were running wildly towards Thean Hou Temple, extremely excited.

Before they reached Thean Hou Temple, they heard the sound of various gongs, drums and suonas.

"It's starting, run quickly..."

"Wow, hurry up, hurry up..."

"Dad, let's run away first..."

Everyone on the road quickened their pace.

Even their own children were so excited that they immediately ran away.

Ye Yaodong watched the people behind him keep passing by them, looked at his wrist, and said: "Take your time, don't be in a hurry, it's only 6:20 and we set off at 7 o'clock. At this moment, Suona is just adjusting the atmosphere in advance.

That’s all.”

"Don't be in a hurry, just take a few steps. Just after eating, treat it as a walk and walk slowly."

"Let the children slow down and run away just after eating, which will cause stomachache..."

"It's too late for you to say this, you've already disappeared."

Everyone continued to move forward while chatting and laughing.

The entrance to Thean Hou Temple had been decorated with lanterns and festoons a few days ago, and red silk cloth was hung at the entrance. At this time, the suona team was sitting on the threshold, playing bombs, surrounded by a group of children and adults who were gathered around to watch.

Ye Xiaoxi squeezed into the crowd excitedly, and then squeezed out again after a while.

"Mom, I want to play this Erhu too. They say it's called Erhu. I want to play the Erhu. Dad, I want to play the Erhu..."

Ye Yaodong's head was full of black lines, "You are a little girl playing the erhu. Those who play the erhu are all old men."

"I have to, uh uh uh uh, listen well..."

She hummed while shaking her head, imitating the rhythm of playing the erhu, swaying from side to side, which looked quite rhythmic.

"You might as well learn the harmonium."

"No, it's all my brother's saliva."

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "She doesn't have her own harmonica. Her brother's harmonica is either mud or saliva."

"I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."

"Then I still want the erhu."

"Learn the harmonica first, from easy to difficult, do you know?"

"All right."

Director Chen said with a smile: "If your child wants to learn, you can teach it to her. It doesn't matter. Who said those who play the erhu are all old men? They also learn from young. I will buy one for her and I will buy it when I go back tomorrow."

Ye Xiaoxi jumped up excitedly, then hurriedly went over and hugged his thigh, "Thank you, Godfather. Godfather, you are so kind. You are better than my father, who is a stingy man."

Ye Yaodong raised his hands high, "Say it again, I'll slap you in the butt! Who bought all those toys you have? You even called me stingy, you little heartless kid."

"But you won't buy me an erhu."

"Can you do it? You are not as good as Erhu."

"Nonsense, I am taller than Erhu."

Ye Yaodong ignored her and looked at Director Chen, "I'll just buy it the day after tomorrow. How dare you spend money on it."

Lin Xiuqing also nodded, "Yes, we can just buy one ourselves."

"There is no reason to take back what you say, let alone say it to your child. Don't think she is young, she will remember it."
