Ye Ling took all the quilt covers out and placed them in a wooden bucket so that he could bring them to the riverside to wash. Ye Liu put the bedding out to dry and then helped Ye Ling to carry the wooden bucket.
“Little Duo, I am going to the riverside with Ling. Remember to think of us!” He threw a flirtatious glance at Liu Duo and then went out with Ye Ling.
It had become hotter recently, so they didn’t want Liu Duo to leave the house. Otherwise, her fair skin might turn dark.
Only Ye Yang and Liu Duo remained. Liu Duo took a stool and went to sit beside Ye Yang. She said happily, “Yang, teach me how to do this. I don’t have anything to do anyway.”
“You might cut your hands so you shouldn’t do it.” Ye Yang would definitely not allow her to do it. It was very easy to cut one’s hands with the bamboo.
“Go practice your words.” Ye Yang immediately arranged something for her to do. In any case, he wouldn’t let her do this type of rough work.
Liu Duo became very gloomy when she heard him. It wasn’t like she didn’t know how to write; she just didn’t want to. She only needed to pretend to practice once in a while. Why would she need to practice every day?
However, no matter what she said, Ye Yang would not allow her to do these things. Feeling helpless, Liu Duo ran back to her room, and grabbed a paper and a brush. She then went to sit beneath the roof and started to draw to past the time. In any case, she didn’t want to practice how to write!
She drew some images of dolls and then put down her brush to rest. Liu Duo looked at the busy Ye Yang. This fella didn’t say anything to her – not even one sentence. He just kept weaving the bamboo mat quietly.
Liu Duo looked at his experienced movements and picked up the brush. She started to sketch on a clean piece of paper again. She even had a smile on her face while she did it.
After she finished the last stroke, Liu Duo looked satisfyingly at a cute version of an expressionless Ye Yang. It looked at her coldly, and it looked very cute.
Liu Duo blew on the ink marks and then picked up the paper. She then went in front of Ye Yang to show it off to him. “Yang, take a look, and see if it looks like you.”
This was the first time he had seen a human being drawn like this, so he found it quite strange. Ye Yang frowned. Was that him? It looked so short, like some little brat. It was only the face that looked like him. He could tell it was him just by looking at it.
“It does. It is a bit short!” Ye Yang commented.
Pfff, Liu Duo laughed. Short? Cute versions would always have this effect. He didn’t know, so she didn’t blame him. It was fine, as long as it looked like him.
“It isn’t short. This is what makes it special. I’ll go and draw Mr. Liuzi and the others, and then draw a family portrait of all five of us. Hehe…” Liu Duo ran back under the roof very excitedly and began to draw again.
Ye Yang stopped what he was doing and then looked at the little lady beneath the roof. He felt that the four of them – virtuous and capable brothers – would have a very warm family with her accompanying them.
Liu Duo had to draw Ye Liu’s show-off expression quite a few times before she was satisfied. Every one of the drawings was short, little, and cute. Ye Yang’s was wooden and cold, Ye Liu’s looked like an attractive hooligan, Ye Mo’s was cool and arrogant, and Ye Ling’s looked like a cute, gentle fool. They were drawn to be very lifelike, but since they were cute versions, they looked extremely cute.
In the family portrait, Ye Yang, Ye Mo, Ye Liu, and Ye Ling stood to the left and right of Liu Duo. The five of them were holding hands and smiling. It was filled with happiness.
After she finished, she let Ye Yang have a look at it. She didn’t have anything to do again, so she went out to look for Ye Liu and Ye Ling.
Liu Duo wore a light pink dress, and it made her skin look even fairer. She looked extremely attractive. Ye Yang and the others had also changed what they wore by quite a lot. They had said goodbye to the coarse clothes, so all the clothes they wore were very luxurious.
There were quite a few people washing clothes by the riverside. Ye Liu and Ye Ling were in the middle of a group of women, and they really stood out. They were handsome and were dressed quite nicely. They really looked like a couple of princes.
Quite a few unmarried women would peek secretly at Ye Liu and Ye Ling.
It wasn’t clear who saw Liu Duo and said, “Look, the shared wife of the Ye brothers is here. She is quite attractive. They are eating and living so well, but why isn’t there any change in her belly after such a long time?”
