Chapter 220: Chapter 144: What are you thinking, you old coot! [Large Chapter, over 7000 words]_2

“I’m coming right away!” Ye Fan replied.

Bai Susu stood up, looking at the little ones playing in the distance with great delight.

“You four, come back for dinner, Niuniu is back too!” Bai Susu called.

Upon hearing her voice, the four little ones immediately ran back, with Niuniu flying even faster, quickly surpassing the others.

‘Niuniu, you’re cheating, you have wings, we don’t have wings, it doesn’t count, it doesn’t count!’ Little Second Ye Qing, puffing and panting as she ran, exclaimed loudly, her fair little cheeks already flushed.

“Niuniu has wings, we have legs, so if we can’t run as fast, we just can’t.” Little Fourth Ye Jie bubbled with pride at the front, turning her head to shout at her three older sisters behind her.

Ha ha ha

It’s normal to not be able to outrun [someone].

Anyway, when it came to running, Little Fourth was a bit better than her three older sisters.

After all, Little Fourth loved to run around wildly; for her, running was just too simple.

“Little Fourth, you only say that because you run faster than me, hmph, are you still my little sister or not.” Little Second spoke again, looking at her younger sister Ye Jie up ahead with a pout.

Nice going

She’s really fast!

She felt so tired.

Her legs felt weak, and she was gasping for breath.

Why is her youngest sister so impressive?

I’m envious!

I’m envious!

I’m envious!

All three felt envious.

“Dad, Mom, am I amazing or what!” Little Fourth Ye Jie ran up to Bai Susu and Ye Fan, immediately looking up at them with a triumphant little face.

Heh heh.

She might be the youngest, but her stamina was the best.

And that was a kind of compensation for being born a few seconds later.

“Amazing, of course you’re amazing,” Bai Susu said with a smile.

“I knew it, running is a piece of cake for me, just look, my sisters are all red and gasping for air,” Little Fourth laughed heartily.

And Niuniu stood on Little Fourth’s shoulder, joining Ye Jie in looking back at the other three.

Ye Fan was indeed surprised at how good Little Fourth’s physical condition was.

Even though Little Fourth ate a bit more than her three older sisters, all four of them seemed to be the same size, not one seemed fatter or thinner than the others, and their weights were only off by about a pound.

But, their physical conditions were indeed different.

Just look at Little Fourth, only her face was a bit red, her heartbeat a bit fast, slightly sweating, and nothing else.

Then look at the other three kids, each one of them tired and panting, bending over and breathing heavily, their little faces as red as apples.

“We finally made it.”

“So tired.”

“Yeah, why is our little sister so tough.”

All three of them were eyeing Little Fourth Ye Jie.

How could their youngest sister be so formidable?

What’s the principle behind this?

“You’re all too slow, I’ve rested enough, grandma is calling us to eat,” Little Fourth Ye Jie slowly said.

“Let’s go, let’s go inside. Wash your hands first before eating, hygiene is important!” Bai Susu watched the four little ones enter the house and promptly instructed.

The four kids had been playing so long, they were already a bit sweaty; they’d take a bath after eating, but their hands must be washed thoroughly, or they could catch germs.

That could lead easily to sickness!

They took very good care of the children, who hadn’t been seriously ill, only the occasional cold, which would get better with some children’s cold medicine.

All four little ones lined up to wash their hands.

Several people helped bring the dishes, then sat at the table, and once the kids finished washing their hands, they immediately took their seats as well.

“Alright, let’s eat,” Mother Ye said.

Then, she ladled a bowl of black chicken soup for Bai Susu and placed it in front of her.

This was something she specially prepared for Bai Susu to nourish her body.

Everyone else didn’t mind and continued with their meal.

Mother Ye looked at everyone and then cleared her throat softly.

It was only then that they all turned their attention to her.

“Mom, is your throat uncomfortable?” Ye Fan asked with concern.

‘Yeah, dear, after we eat I’ll get you some medicine, and it should be better,’ Father Ye interjected.

“You must be tired, after all, Rumei always takes such good care of us, looking after every need,” Bai Susu’s grandfather Bai Zhentian added at that moment.

Ye Fan’s mother, Liu Rumei, was a very admirable person.

She was good both as a mother-in-law and as a mother.

Really, at least way better than his own two daughters-in-law.

“No, no, I just wanted to tell everyone some good news!” Mother Ye became a bit embarrassed.

Feeling everyone’s concern, she felt very warm inside.

It was a just reward for always bustling about, caring for the family.

“What good news that it needs such a formal announcement?” Ye Dong, Ye Fan’s father, asked curiously.

Indeed!

Bringing it up at dinner time meant it was definitely important.

Could it have something to do with the little ones?

With that thought, Ye Dong looked at the four little ones.

The kids were equally bemused.

“You don’t have to guess; you’ll never figure it out!” Mother Ye said with a smile.

For a moment, Ye Fan had no idea what was going on either.

Everyone turned to Mother Ye, waiting for her to continue.

Only Bai Susu seemed a bit embarrassed as she glanced at Mother Ye.

“Alright, I’ll tell you. Congratulations, our family is about to grow—another member is on the way!” Mother Ye announced with a smile, her face turning a bit red with happiness.
