Chapter 143: Dinner with the Nian and youngest aunt’s family

When Bai Yi Yang and her siblings arrived, she was informed that someone called Nian Yong Qing has arrived. Bai Yi Yang immediately nod and said that they are still waiting for someone called Ma Jun Jie, this is the youngest aunt's husband name.

Bai Yi Yang and her siblings then ushered to the private rooms and inside, there is really Bai Yu Jing with her husband and three children with a pair of elderly couple.

"Hello, nice to meet you Grandpa Nian, Grandma Nian, I am Bai Yi Yang and these are my siblings." Bai Yi Yang greet the two elderly and introduce the rest of the siblings to them.

Old Nian couple looks like other elderly couple, it was Grandpa Nian who is more talkative whereas Grandma Nian is more quite and agreeable. Nian Yong Qing followed his mother character, more towards the quiet side, just like Nian Sheng, his oldest son.

Bai Yu Jing two daughters, one is 15 years old Nian Su and the other is 11 years old Nian Shan Shan. The two girls is quite friendly, it was Nian Shan Shan who is quite active, she bring the three small Bai siblings to sit at the children table and chat with Bai Yi Ling and the rest. What did they chat about? It was about the clothes that they are currently wearing, Nian Shan Shan eyes is sharp when it comes to beautiful and fashionable clothes. They will talk about this and that and Bai Yi Mo who is a boy get bored and sat there quietly.

Luckily not long after that, the youngest aunt and her husband together with their three children also arrived. Ma Zi Hao, youngest aunt's eldest son bring his 4 years old sister, Ma Zi Han to sit at the children table whereas the 2 years old Ma Zi Xuan sit with his father at the adult table. So the children ends up finding their match to befriend with, Ma Zi Han who was a bit shy also slowly open up with Bai Yi Fang.

The adults also start chatting, Bai Yi Chen introduce her youngest aunt's family to the Nian family. Bai Ji Na is someone who is likeable, her husband is also a kind person, so the Nian family who knows the story forgot about the first branch's deeds cannot associate her with them.

Bai Yi Yang also quite like this youngest aunt of her, at least she is very different in comparison to other people from the first branch, modest and not arrogant. So, she also say a few kind words with this youngest aunt of her. When a waiter ask if they can serve the dishes now? Bai Yi Yang nod.

After that, waiters come in and out of the room to bring in the rice, drinks and the more than 10 plates of dishes onto the round table.

"Yi Yang, isn't this too much?" Bai Yu Jing and the rest was amazed with the scale, dishes with fragrant and beautiful presentation came in one by one and was put onto the big round table. Each time they bring in the dishes, the waiter and waitress will tell them the name and also a few descriptions of the dishes.

The Nian family has eaten here before, 1-2 times a year when there is big celebration in their family, so they are familiar with the price of one dish. One dish can cost up to 500 yuan. Using a private room will also cost a bit more, it's like paying a rent for the room.

"Not too much. This restaurant has many good dishes, I am worried that we may not finish it so I didn't order much." Bai Yi Yang said.

So, when the round table is fulled with dishes, the two family finally understand what she meant with not too many. This is for a big family feast ah.

"Eat, I will prepare plate for the children first." Bai Yi Yang took a few plates to be added with few dishes for the children. Bai Yu Jing and Bai Ji Na also step up to help. It was Bai Yu Jing's daughter who send it to the children's table and told them to eat on their own.

Only after that did the adult and the group of teenagers start eating. The dishes here is actually quite good, well, as expected of a top restaurant in City Bei. Bai Yi Yang also enjoyed the dishes very much, she eat while lightly chatting with the people at the table.

"Good choice, the dishes you choose is all specialty of this restaurant." Grandpa Nian said as he rest his back to the seat after a fulfilling meal.

"I read some reviews in advance to find out about this restaurant's specialty." Bai Yi Yang explain.

"Good, next time you all come here, this old man will bring all of you to eat at other good restaurant." Grandpa Nian said in a good mood.

Some people are still eating so the desserts was only served after everyone is full. Bai Yi Chen is one of the person who ate the most, Bai Ji Na also eat a lot compared to her husband, seems like, the Bai family really have a glutton gene in their body. So the dishes are not wasted, it wasn't entirely finished but it can be considered finished.

"Aiyoo..luckily there is me and Yi Chen.." Bai Ji Na remarks invite laugh from everyone. They really can't eat more, it was Bai Ji Na and Bai Yi Chen who eat to the end.

When the waiters come inside to remove the dishes, they ask if they wanted the dessert now. The two elderly rejected the dessert and ask for a cup of warm tea instead while the rest didn't say anything.

Not long after the dessert was brought in, they are slices of frozen cheesecake, the children table cheers happily and start eating the dessert right away. The adults table were more chill about this dessert, they chat and took a bite.

While they were chatting, Bai Yi Yang finally remember about the gifts that she brought. She goes around the table and hand over the velvet box of jadeite to everyone one by one.

"This..they are beautiful.." Grandma Nian took the bangle and wore it. This is real jade, she have a few and she can tell, this can cost up to 5,000 yuan ah.

"This must have cost a lot." Bai Yu Jing look at the bracelet on her hand.

"Not a lot." Bai Yi Yang grinned. She look at Bai Yi Chen and when their eyes meet, their lips lifted into a smile.

When everyone was given their respective gifts, the children including the small Ma Zi Xuan also got a small jade charm. And they liked it a lot, because the carving is beautiful.

"Yi Yang, next time there is no need to prepare gifts like this. This is too expensive." Bai Yu Jing like it, but she also knows that these items cost too expensive. No matter how much the Jiang family left for the children for them to be able to spend this much money, she still feels that the children is using it too recklessly.

"Da jiejie, they really doesn't cost much." Bai Yi Yang is not lying at all.

"What not cost much? I know the price, the jade charm that I bought Ah Sheng before is more than 1,000 yuan. These are authentic, you will know if you are familiar. You bought this much jade charms, must have cost a bit." Bai Yu Jing said, she is the one who feel the heartache.

"They are really not that expensive." Bai Yi Yang said as she said a few more words of comfort towards the people at the table. Things like she just bought it from a jade shop, found them beautiful and decided to give them as a gift. She didn't told them the price, she also didn't say anything about knowing that they are real things. Her point was that, she carefully choose it while thinking about them in her heart, so they must take it.

So everyone at the table also start paying attention to their jade and when Grandma Nian who knows a bit check it one by one, it was all authentic.

"Yatou, you really have good eyes." Grandma Nian said to Bai Yi Yang and look at her a few more times. And she really cannot bear to put down the bangle, she likes it very much.

The dinner ends by 9.00 pm. Nian Sheng and his younger siblings has agreed to watch movies with the Bai siblings so he went to send the old Nian couple and his parents home first, he will pick them at the restaurant later after that.

"I will pay the extra cost since you already pay in advance." Nian Yong Qing said to Bai Yi Yang. He originally wanted to split the bills but Bai Yi Yang already paid everything in advance. It was only the dessert, drinks and some other things that they requested that he need to pay. Bai Yi Yang agree, she payed more than 3,000 yuan for this one meal alone. As expected of a big restaurant like this, but it was reasonable because the food is quite delicious too.

So now, it is only youngest aunt family and the children who is left in the private room.

"The old man told me to come ask about you guys. But I am not here to do that, I just simply came because I am curious about how you all have live these years." Bai Ji Na finally open her mouth. Her husband is sitting at the children table with their young son so she dare to open her mouth.

"En.." Bai Yi Chen nod.

"About the matter of you getting removed from the family branch, I tried talking about it with my father, no matter what, you are still my 3rd brother's children, it is not appropriate. But they won't listen to me, now I think it's good that you leave the branch, they won't have a say about your money. Remember, don't ever agree to let them have a hold on your inheritance or whatsoever." Bai Ji Na said.

"Youngest aunt, we don't have many inheritance. We only have the mountain and house that you know of." Bai Yi Yang smile. What, they think that they own more inheritance? No such thing as that ah.

"Then, your money..? It's not that I am trying to probe into your business, but where did your money come from?" Bai Ji Na ask.

"We work. Not that sort of working with other people, we work on our land and sold the produce. Farming. That's how we get the money." Bai Yi Yang said, well their formal source of income are from the orchard also, so it's reasonable to say this. What more, they will be able to sell the vegetables soon. That's all Bai Yi Chen's hard work ah.

"Did you two stop going to school?" Bai Ji Na is shocked.

"We didn't. We are still student. It's just that YangYang has many useful skills and good luck, she earned money using her skills. I was taught a lot by her too." Bai Yi Chen said.

"Good, good. Then, since you are also working, then don't spend money recklessly. If you have difficulty, aunt can help you. This time, you must have spend a lot to come here and arrange this dinner, aunt will also help pay some." Bai Ji Na said as she ready to take out her wallet from her handbag.

"Youngest aunt don't worry, we have enough money for this." Bai Yi Yang smile.

"How can that be. It's inappropriate to ask the Nian to pay, no matter what, it was us Bai family who owe them, aunt will also pay a bit." Bai Ji Na took out a 500 yuan, there are a few more yuan in her wallet, Bai Yi Yang saw it. Actually, the youngest aunt's family is not well off, she is the only one working and she also have three small children to feed. With 500 yuan, she can only pay for 2 dishes here at most, where will it be enough?

"Aunt, we invited you not because we wanted you to pay. It was me who arranged it here, I won't invite you out again if you insist to pay. How about this, next time, you invite us to eat at your house." Bai Yi Yang smile. Bai Ji Na reluctantly put the money back into her wallet when Bai Yi Chen also persuade her.

"Good, good. I will invite you over. It's just that not only you pay for the meal, you even give expensive gifts to me and my family. Yi Yang, remember not to spend too much money. Anyway, what is your income per month? If you are having difficult days, you can ask me. I heard that farming depends on the weather too, so it is hard." Bai Ji Na said.

"Our monthly income is stable. It wasn't like this before, it was quite hard, but this recent two months we can earn about 50,000 yuan per month." Bai Yi Yang doesn't plan to hide it. That is their dried mushrooms business earning. As for the orchard and other things, don't need to say.

"50,000 yuan?! You earned that much?" Bai Ji Na eyes widened. Her earnings can't even compare to that, she only earn 5,500 yuan per month. This is almost 10x her income ah. What kind of farmer earn this much?

"Yes. About that much, we may earn less sometimes but it won't be that far from that." Bai Yi Yang smile.

"Yi Yang, you and your siblings really made it. If that old man find out, he is going to get mad thinking about this." Bai Ji Na pat Bai Yi Yang shoulder.

"Youngest aunt, we don't mind people knowing this. Anyway, this is all our hard work, we earned it by ourselves, so no need to hide it." Bai Yi Yang said.

"Good, good. Yi Yang ah, I have really embarrassed myself today. Seems like you and your siblings is doing better than I thought. Then, you should come here again when the holiday come, aunt will bring you around." Bai Ji Na said.

"Alright? Aunt, if you are free, you can come over to City Nan too, and come to our house." Bai Yi Yang extend and invitation. Since she like her then she will be kind. Just like she is kind to the Nian family. After that, they chat about small things before Bai Ji Na leave with her husband and children.
