Chapter 147: Annual Leave (2/2)

On the day he returned to his home to visit relatives, Tang Jinyu drew his hands forward and tried to tell Chen Suling that he wanted to stay at home.

But when asked about the reason why, he couldn't tell her.

Chen Suling thought about it, and comforted him: ”Your aunt has also gone back to her family's house. She’s not coming this year. It's okay. You'll be by my side, so even if she comes back, it doesn't matter. Let's go have dinner and accompany your grandparents, okay?”

Tang Jinyu actually didn't care much about what happened when he was a child. His little accordion is still well preserved, and he is not angry anymore.

He didn’t see his aunt much since that incident, his aunt would go back to her natal home to visit relatives like everyone else on the second day of the New Year, and no longer clings to the two elders of the Chen family. Uncle Chen sometimes would accompany her, and sometimes he also brings his children to stay at home. The two children in the family were just like him, smiling all day, and they had a good temper.

After Chen Suling said this, Tang Jinyu couldn't find any more reasons, so he could only change his clothes and go downstairs.

Downstairs, Xia Ye was waiting for them in the living room.

Tang Jinyu went down first with his suitcase, and was surprised to see him, ”Brother, why are you here?”

Chen Suling carried a small bag to follow, and heard this, and smiled: ”Your brother will go with us this year. He has some business to do there, so he is just going along the way.”

Xia Ye picked up his luggage in his hand and said, ”Yes, I will accompany you.”

He was hit with unexpected joy. Tang Jinyu kept turning his head to look at him, and he couldn't hide his love.

Xia Ye helped put the luggage in the trunk and waited until he got into the car, and when there was no one around them, he reached out and covered the little guy’s eyes and leaned close and whispered, ”If you look again, I'll kiss you.”

Tang Jinyu: ”!!!”

Tang Jinyu was not so courageous to do it under the eyes of the elders at home. He was a little shy, and sat there honestly. After a while, he took a peek, and felt that his brother looked handsome looking forward.

Tang Jinyu rejected airplanes before, and Xia Ye knew this. This time he went home to visit relatives by car. In the past, it would take a few hours’ drive from Shanghai, but it was almost as convenient as before. Chen Suling took three cars and arranged a driver. She and Tang Hongjun took one, and left one for the two brothers, and the rest were gifts.

Tang Jinyu was just happy at first, but then he felt sleepy, and slept on Xia Ye's shoulder. He woke up on the way and raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. Xia Ye shook his hand and said, ”Don't rub hard, it will become red soon.”

Tang Jinyu groaned, with a little nasal sound, ”Itchy.”

Xia Ye took his hand and gave him a blow, ”Okay.”

Tang Jinyu blinked and looked at him and said, ”It's still a little itchy.”

Xia Ye blew several times, and Tang Jinyu sat there shaking his head and said it was okay. Finally, Xia Ye looked at him for a while, and raised his hand to scratch the tickling flesh under his arm without any expression. Tang Jinyu laughed and fell into his arms, and couldn't help but beg for mercy: ”Brother, I'm not itching anymore! I'm fine, I'm fine!”

Xia Ye let him go.

The Chen family is a big family, and Grandma Chen is also a lively person. Every year, the house is decorated with special festive decorations.

When she saw Chen Suling and her family come back, Grandma Chen smiled happily, holding her little daughter’s hand, and after seeing Tang Jinyu get out of the car, she didn’t want to talk to her daughter anymore, and she walked over and hugged her grandson, ”My darling, you’re here. I heard magpie barking in the yard just now, and I guessed that you were almost here!”

Xia Ye greeted Grandma Chen, and the old lady patted him on the arm and nodded happily. Tang Jinyu walked and talked to her while supporting the old lady. The two grandparents and grandchildren were very close. Grandma Chen laughed from ear to ear since she saw him. She held his hands and didn’t let go, and let Tang Jinyu sit next to her at the dinner table.

Grandma Chen has three children, two of them stayed by her side, and her youngest daughter married away, and she didn't see her grandson several times throughout the year.

After a few words, a child ran to Han Ya to provoke discord, and told her: ”Big cousin, Xiaoyu grabbed your position as soon as he came. Grandma usually lets you sit beside her!”

Hua Yan rolled her eyes and said bluntly: ”He comes here once a year. It's normal for grandma to do this. Besides, you don't need to take care of my family's affairs.”

”But Xiaoyu…”

”That's my brother, what do you care about what my brother is doing!”

Chen Deyun and her sister Hua Yan united the front. They and Tang Jinyu were the closest in their generation, and they were not provoked at all.

Chen Deyun was more careful, and when she took people to find Tang Jinyu to play with, she deliberately picked a few with a mild temperament to ensure that it would not affect everyone's mood. Hua Yan wanted to play chess, but Tang Jinyu only knew a little bit. If he was backed up by Grandma Chen, he knew that he wouldn’t win, so he dragged Xia Ye over and sat him down next to him and said, ”My brother will do it for me, if he loses, I will accept the punishment!”

Xia Ye asked: ”What punishment? Put a sticker on your face?”

Hua Yan smiled and said, ”Of course not, this has changed a long time ago. Those who lose have to play truth or dare!” She looked at Tang Jinyu and rolled her eyes. ”But you two count as a team. If Xiaoyu loses, he can’t choose his punishment, so you both have to play together!”

Tang Jinyu relied on Xia Ye, and was particularly confident, ”No problem, come on!”

Xia Ye held the chess piece and rubbed it in his hand for a moment, then smiled and said, ”Let's get started.”
