Lin Lan made seven dishes and one soup, all home-cooked side dishes. In less than an hour, everyone gathered around the dining table and started eating happily.
Lin Lan and Meng Xionghua kept asking Ai Hao if they were to their liking. They were very enthusiastic. The old couple were already hospitable. In addition, Ai Hao was a classmate of their granddaughter. It was rare for her granddaughter to have friends, so she was naturally enthusiastic. The last one was treated so warmly by the old couple. Or Ouyang Yihan.
Halfway through the meal, Meng Xionghua's cell phone rang. Ye Yu was close, so she got up and went to the coffee table to get it for him. When she saw the caller ID, Ye Yu's face instantly sank.
"Xiaoyu, whose phone number is this?"
Seeing his granddaughter stunned for a long time, Meng Xionghua couldn't help but speak.
"Ye Bowen's phone number."
Ye Yu came back to her senses and couldn't even squeeze out a forced smile. She handed the phone to her grandfather and continued to eat, but there was no smile on her face and she stopped chatting with everyone.
Ye Bowen is Ye Yu's father. The smile on Meng Xionghua's face also faded, and he entered the study room with his mobile phone.
Ye Yu suddenly became unhappy, and Ai Hao could see it. Although he didn't know the reason, he knew that the caller must be someone that Little Yang didn't want to see.
In such a long time, this was the first time that Lin Lan saw her granddaughter so disappointed. Because there were still guests, she didn't do much to comfort her. She understood some things even if the child didn't tell her.
Half an hour later, everyone had finished eating. Meng Xionghua was still talking on the phone in the study, and Ye Yu stood at the door and listened.
For the first time, Meng Yanchen did not go home to do exercises. This was the first time he saw Ye Yu with such lonely eyes, and he also wanted to know what happened.
The heavy rain outside did not stop, and Xiao Xiao was not seen. The three students were sitting on the sofa, watching TV absentmindedly, while Lin Lan was tidying up in the kitchen.
After a long time, Meng Xionghua opened the study and walked out. He saw Ye Yu looking disappointed, so he called her to the study.
"What did he say to you?"
Ye Yu sat on the chair, lowered her head and tore at the corners of her clothes.
"I still don't agree to transfer your household registration, but don't worry, grandpa will find a way."
Meng Xionghua patted Ye Yu's shoulder.
Ye Yu got a good score of 733 in her first monthly exam. Meng Xionghua talked to her once and realized that her life in that home was far worse than they imagined.
Ye Yu was far smarter than other children of the same age when she was in kindergarten. She entered first grade at the age of five. She got perfect scores in every test. It was even easier to do the test papers for senior grades. Even for such a gifted child, in a family that favors sons over daughters, It didn't get any attention at all.
Later, her mother died in a car accident and her stepmother moved in with her son. She seemed even more worthless. At first, she would take back her good grades to please her, but gradually she stopped doing this. She would fight and fight to get her family's attention. But every time I got either a scolding or a beating. Later, when she caused trouble, she simply wanted to make the whole family angry.
Naturally, Ye Yu didn't go into detail. She just said that her stepmother didn't want to see her get better grades than her stupid brothers, so she deliberately didn't write in every exam. As a result, everyone thought she was a troublemaker with poor grades.
Grandpa felt sorry for his granddaughter. After that conversation, he thought about moving his granddaughter's household registration here and getting her custody, so that Ye Yu could study, go to college, and live in Chengdu with peace of mind.
Although the Ye family favors sons over daughters, they still refuse to give in on the custody rights of their children. Life is the soul of the Ye family, and death is the ghost of the Ye family.
"It's okay. We've all grown up anyway. It doesn't matter whether we have a registered permanent residence or not."
Ye Yu couldn't bear it. It wasn't good for her grandpa to still worry about him because he was old.
"Don't think too much about other things and study hard. Your principal told me that if you can maintain your current good grades in the three mock exams next year, it won't be a problem for you to be directly admitted to university."
"That's no problem. Grandpa, you haven't finished eating yet. Come out quickly."
Ye Yu was instantly happy because she didn't have to go back to take the college entrance examination. She never wanted to go back to that home again.
Ye Yu put on a smile again and went back to the bedroom. When Ouyang Yihan came to find her, she was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone.
"Bad mood?"
Ouyang Yihan asked weakly. He was worried that she would cry before entering the door, so he was cautious.
"No, it's pretty good."
Ye Yu has a very strong self-recovery ability. Watching some funny videos, she can forget all the unpleasant things in a matter of minutes, as if they never happened.
"Student Ai is still outside. Isn't it kind of you to hide in the room alone and watch videos?"
Ouyang Yihan glanced at Ye Yu's phone and didn't know what to say for a moment. The three of them were worried that she would be unhappy, but it was better for her to hide here alone and watch anime.
"Oh oh oh, I forgot about him."
Ye Yu stood up suddenly, then stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Why does this thing make a splash when it moves?"
Several times Ye Yu thought she had leaked urine. It felt so bad.
Ouyang Yihan didn't understand it at first, but she understood it instantly after seeing Ye Yu's actions.
"Is this really your first time here?"
"Yes, you have lived with me for several months. Have we met?"
"That's not true, but I heard that you will develop a second time around this time when you first come here. It seems that you have really grown in size recently."
Ouyang Yihan said and took action. Ye Yu didn't expect that she would make a sneak attack. She was unprepared and was touched.
"Damn, Ouyang Yihan, why are you a woman like this? You always like to touch her. Where are you touching?"
He just hugged her while sleeping at night, but now she still assaulted her breasts. Ye Yu really doubted whether she liked him.
"If you touch it, you won't lose a piece of meat. How about you touch me and we'll settle the matter?"
"If anyone wants to touch you, just play with them."
"I just found mahjong on the TV cabinet. Come on, let's go play mahjong."
Ouyang Yihan pulled Ye Yu out. Ai Hao and Meng Yanchen had already set the table on the balcony.
"Watching the rainstorm and playing mahjong at the same time?"
Ye Yu looked at the heavy rain outside the window and then at the mahjong table. She always felt that she would be struck by lightning as soon as she memorized the electronics.
"What do you know? This is the mood. This is the tone." Ouyang Yihan ignored Ye Yu's eyes and went to call Lin Lan who was doing cross stitch and Meng Xionghua who was drinking tea.
"Grandpa and grandma, do you want to come and play?"
"No, just the four of you can play."
Lin Lan and Meng Xionghua both refused.
"By the way, when I was just collecting the clothes, I found that you two didn't have any thick clothes. It will rain for several days, and then the weather will turn cold. Go buy some thick clothes tomorrow when you have nothing to do. Don't always think about just If you emphasize demeanor but not warmth, you will regret it when you get old."
Lin Lan glanced at the rain that had not stopped outside the house, suddenly remembered, and gave a few instructions.
"I know, Grandma."
Ouyang Yihan responded sweetly, and Ye Yu also agreed.
"Are you OK?"
The four of them sat down to play mahjong. Meng Yanchen and Ai Hao spoke at the same time, making Ye Yu a little confused.
