âAwesome, it has been so long since Mom cooked, I really miss it!â Ye Qing said with longing and anticipation in his eyes.
âYeah, Momâs pregnant with the baby, so she shouldnât work too hard!â Ye Bing said at this moment, a trace of concern in her eyes.
âBirthdays are so great, with delicious food and gifts!â The third child could not help but say happily at this time.
âPfft, whatâs so good about birthdays? Theyâre not great at all!â Little Fourth Ye Jie said listlessly.
Isnât that right?
Thereâs nothing good about birthdays.
âLittle Fourth Sister, whatâs wrong with you?â Ye Qing asked.
The rest, both Ye Bing and the eldest, looked curiously at Little Fourth Ye Jie.
Ye Fan also looked on with a bit of surprise. What was this Little Fourth thinking?
Donât all kids like celebrating their birthdays?
But why did it seem like Little Fourth was disdaining it?
âSisters, youâre so silly. Our birthdays represent the day we were born, but, you see, Mom had a really tough time. So whatâs there to celebrate about the birthday!â
âBesides, Iâm not in the mood to celebrate this birthday. We might be happy today, but Mom was fighting to give birth to us. My teacher said that childbirth is very dangerous, which is practically like taking a walk at deathâs door!â Little Fourth Ye Jie explained earnestly, looking very serious.
And she was really right!
It truly makes sense.
Listening to her, Ye Fan felt that Little Fourth was indeed very smart and quick-witted.
She could think of things that others would not.
âSo thatâs it, weâve really been too thoughtless!â
âI really was so happy, I feel bad for Mom now!â
Hearing this, the kids immediately felt a bit wronged.
Indeed, Little Fourth Ye Jie was absolutely right.
The sister had thought of things that they hadnât.
Mom has really had it tough!
âYou know, itâs good to have this realization. Make sure to tell Mom âThanks for the hard work,â okay?â Ye Fan said with a smile.
âItâs okay to celebrate a birthday, as a matter of fact, today is indeed worth celebrating. Think about it, you were willing to be born today, and your mom went through a lot of hardship to bring you into the world. This created a bond between mother and daughter, isnât that wonderful?â
âOf course, itâs worth celebrating. Everyone cheer up. Your mom is cooking personally, so later, make sure to eat and be merry!â Ye Fan said to the kids.
âSeeing you understand like this makes me very relieved!â
âDad, we understand, hehe!â
âWeâll be good!â
The kids quickly brightened up.
âDonât worry, later on, we four will protect you and Mom. Weâll work hard to grow up and become strong!â Ye Jie immediately puffed up her chest and assured Ye Fan.
âYou know, as parents, we just want you to take good care of yourselves; thatâs enough for us to feel at ease!â Ye Fan said, patting Ye Jieâs little head with a smile.
âWe will, we wonât let Dad and Mom down.â
âMhm, weâll take good care of ourselves and not worry you, but of course, weâll take care of Dad and Mom, too!â
âThatâs my good kids, truly wonderful!â Ye Fan said.
Soon~~
Ye Fan heard the sound of a car outside, and he went out to see that it was Jenny and Fang Dajian who had arrived.
Were they here for the kidsâ birthday?
Mainly, he hadnât told them, had he?
âFan, weâre here, hehe, we came uninvited, hope you donât mind!â Fang Dajian said with a laugh as he got out of the car.
Then, he walked over to the car door and opened it for Jenny.
Jennyâs belly was also showing now, just a month or two smaller than Bai Susuâs.
âLook at you, Iâm of course happy when you come over. I was just thinking, since Jennyâs pregnant, she needs to be careful wherever she goes, and also needs to rest well. I thought youâd be taking care of Jenny over the weekend, thatâs why I didnât say anything. You even remembered the date, youâre so thoughtful!â Ye Fan said.
Indeed, the two of them really were thoughtful.
At their wedding, Jenny even fainted.
That was really scary.
So, Ye Fan was very worried. His good friend had finally gotten married and was expecting a child; they had to be careful.
Yet, they still came.
âAuntie Jenny, Uncle Fang, youâre here!â
âThis is so great!â
The kids ran out one after another and spotted Jenny and Fang Dajian, immediately getting excited.
They really liked Uncle Fang Dajian and Auntie Jenny. These two had often bought them treats and taken them out to play before, and they were good friends of their parents as well.
Originally, they thought it would just be the few of them at home, but to their surprise, these two had also come to celebrate their birthday, how wonderful!
Thatâs fantastic!
âOf course, you little rascals, havenât seen you in a while, and youâve all grown more beautiful. Auntie Jenny really missed you!â Jenny said with a smile, softly touching the kidsâ cheeks.
âYou see, Auntie is so happy to see you!â Fang Dajian remarked.
âHere are the gifts we got for you.â Fang Dajian said, taking out four gift bags and looking affectionately at the kids.
These were his brotherâs children, naturally, he liked them too.
âWow, so happy, there are gifts! Thank you Uncle Fang and Auntie Jenny!â
âThank you, Uncle Fang and Auntie Jenny.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
