Chapter 717: Well Done

As he got closer, he raised his fist and gave He Jinxuan a punch on the shoulder: "Congratulations."

He Jinxuan also raised his fist and punched back: "Thanks."

Ye Liyan asked with a smile: "What day is set?"

He Jinxuan smiled: "The sixth day of the New Year."

Ye Liyan took off his coat and hung it on the rack: "Did you call the family?"

He Jinxuan shook his head: "Not yet, I came to you first."

Ye Liyan laughed directly upon hearing this: "Looks like I misjudged you a bit just now, these two little guys are quite important to you."

Then he looked at his two sons: "Are you happy your uncle is getting engaged?"

Ye Silai nodded with a smile: "Happy."

Ye Siyan was a beat slow to react, but what he said directly amused them all: "Does that mean I can be the bed-pressing boy?"

Ye Liyan laughed and pinched his son’s face: "Yes, but not now, what you mentioned happens at the wedding."

Ye Siyan looked up at his dad: "Then when can I be the bed-pressing boy?"

Ye Liyan, laughing, picked up his son: "You have to ask your uncle."

Ye Siyan turned to look at his uncle: "Uncle."

He Jinxuan rubbed his nose: "When you’re a little older."

Ye Siyan looked at his older brother: "Is it because I’m too young? Then brother is older than me, he can do it."

The little guy’s words made He Jinxuan quite embarrassed, is this about your age?

Ye Liyan laughed heartily at his son’s words: "Good job, my son."

He put his son down, looked at He Jinxuan with a smile: "My son has wanted to be the bed-pressing boy for a long time, you should hurry up."

He Jinxuan looked at Ye Siyan: "How do you know about the bed-pressing boy?"

Ye Siyan pouted a bit unhappily: "Our front-row Guo Xiaojun did it, and he got candy and a red envelope, so I want to do it too."

He Jinxuan didn’t know what to say, he looked at Ye Liyan with a roguish smile: "This wish, you can help him make it come true."

Ye Liyan quickly waved the white flag, pointing at the phone on the cabinet: "You better call the family quickly, let them prepare in advance."

He Jinxuan thought it was a good idea upon hearing the reminder.

Since there was no phone at home, he had to call the public phone at the street corner first, so it was fifteen minutes before Mr. He received the call.

Mr. He answered the phone quickly when he heard it ring: "Hello, is it Jinxuan?"

"Dad, it’s me."

"Why are you calling, is there something urgent?"

"Dad, Xinyan and I are getting engaged, the date is set for the sixth day of the New Year, can the family come over?"

Mr. He was delighted to hear this: "Your mom and I will definitely go, but I’ll have to check with your Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Brother."

"Alright, please let them know, if they have time, they can come over, if not, don’t force it."

"Okay, I understand."

Mr. He clearly understood the meaning behind Jinxuan’s words.

Though the words were pleasant, the implication was to remind him, if they truly bless them, they can come, if not, there’s no need to come.

They chatted a bit more, settled on the time to go over, and then hung up the phone.

Though he thought about how the second son’s marriage was a bit of a letdown, the thought that the third son was finally getting engaged made him instantly happier.

He jogged back to the yard: "Wife, a joyous occasion."

Mother He was about to go to the kitchen to make dinner: "What’s the happy occasion?"

Suddenly, she thought of something: "Is Jinxuan getting married?"

Mr. He nodded and then shook his head.

Mother He didn’t understand: "You nod and then shake your head, what does that mean?"

After pausing for a moment, Mr. He said: "Jinxuan called, he’s getting engaged on the sixth, asked if the family has time to come over."

Mother He, upon hearing it was an engagement, though not the marriage she hoped for, thought engagement was good too, at least it was settled, truly if the third son didn’t marry at this age, it couldn’t be delayed any longer.

The fifth son’s wife is already pregnant; if he doesn’t make a move, by the time the fifth son’s child can go to the store with money, he still wouldn’t have settled things yet?
