Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 867: Today Is Special, Don’t Be Inconsiderate

Xia Dongxue saw them chatting enthusiastically and came over: ”What are you talking about?”

As she spoke, she linked arms with Yunyi.

Although Yunyi was still a bit unaccustomed, she didn’t resist: ”Talking about cousin.”

Xia Dongxue looked at Shi Jingfang: ”Did that girl call home?”

Shi Jingfang raised her hand to brush aside the strands of hair on her forehead: ”She did, and said if it weren’t for Yunyi, she might not have done so well on the exams, and also mentioned the materials Yunyi sent were a big help. Most importantly, Yunyi helped predict several major questions. That girl was very excited.”

By this time, Ye Wenze, who had greeted the elders, also came over: ”Yunyi, thank you so much this time. With Sister Wenhui’s carefree personality, if there was nobody to supervise her, she probably wouldn’t be as motivated. It’s a good thing you were there.”

Ye Wenbing chimed in: ”From what you’re saying, it sounds like my sister did pretty well on the exams, right?”

Yunyi patted her little cousin’s head: ”Getting into a college in Beijing shouldn’t be a problem, but it depends on which university she applies to.”

Upon hearing his sister could come back for studies, Ye Wenbing jumped up with excitement: ”That’s awesome, I really missed her.”

Xia Dongxue saw Ye Wenbing’s reaction and instinctively scanned the courtyard, just happened to spot her youngest son Ye Wenyang nearby.

But she noticed he was staring at the door, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

She was about to look away when she saw him quickly walking out.

Following his figure, just as she had thought, she saw Ye Wenyue bringing in a young man.

Ye Wenyang, not sure what he was thinking, suddenly turned and shouted towards the courtyard: ”Mom and Dad, Sister Wenyue brought her boyfriend back.”

His words plunged both the courtyard and the house into a brief, awkward silence.

Xia Dongxue suddenly felt a sense of disappointment towards her youngest son, but didn’t show it, turning around to greet: ”Come on in, bring him inside. It’s cold in the courtyard.”

Ye Wenyue glared at Ye Wenyang and whispered: ”Wenyang, it’s a special day, don’t be unreasonable.”

Ye Wenyang felt guilty but stubbornly replied: ”I wasn’t wrong.”

Ye Wenyue, fearing Xia Dongxue might misunderstand, quickly walked over: ”Aunt, this is Jiao Baoping, whom I’ve told you about before. Since everyone is gathered today, I brought him over.”

Ye Wenyue indeed had mentioned Jiao Baoping before. Though the young man was not very tall, he looked quite spirited, and quickly invited him inside.

Jiao Baoping conducted himself appropriately, without trying to show off too much.

After entering with Wenyue, he called to everyone in turn as she introduced him.

The Second Elder Master Ye called Jiao Baoping over: ”Where do you work, young man?”

Without waiting for the Second Elder Master and his sons to ask one by one, Jiao Baoping straightforwardly responded: ”Grandpa, I work in the Fangshan District government. My dad works at a steel plant, and my mom takes care of the big family.

There are five siblings in my family. I have one older brother and one older sister, and a younger brother and sister. My brother and sister are already married, while my younger brother and sister are still in high school.”

Ye Wenze, who had just come in, asked: ”Your brother and sister got married, who from your family went to the countryside before?”

Jiao Baoping replied a bit embarrassed: ”At that time, it was my second sister who went to the countryside. But after three years, she married a soldier and then moved to the Northwest with my brother-in-law.”

Remembering something: ”Originally, I should’ve gone to the countryside too, but luckily there was an opportunity, and right after graduating high school, I went to work over in Fangshan.”
