Chapter 1721: Arriving in Town

They had dinner at Director Chen's house and then went back. They had already disturbed them for half a day and had two meals, so they had to go back early after the meal.

The children in the courtyard couldn't even bear to eat, just circling the two small cars. Their own children were also very protective of the cars, taking turns to eat and leaving people to watch the cars, terrified that they would be touched too much and broken.

When they finished eating and were about to leave, Director Chen's pile of grandsons and granddaughters were full of reluctance. They hadn't touched the cars enough, they were too rare.

Before leaving, they were still clinging to the cars, asking the three siblings when they would come to play again.

Naturally, they didn't know, so they all looked at Lin Xiuqing and Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong only replied that they would come again next time, and after exchanging pleasantries with the adults, they left first. These children naturally had adults to soothe them.

The three siblings sat inside the car, their butts as if smeared with oil, fresh and excited, touching here and rubbing there.

Ye Chenghu was extremely happy, "Dad, our small car is more comfortable than a taxi!"

Ye Chengyang pulled on the back of the chair, stretching his head to the front, "Right, and it's wider than a taxi, cleaner than a taxi!"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "What you're saying is all nonsense. Can a new car not be comfortable? Can it not be clean? Can it not be wide?"

"Mom, why didn't the car tie a big red flower?" Ye Xiaoxi asked curiously, "When others buy new tractors, they all have to tie big red flowers. Why don't our small cars tie one?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Tie it tomorrow after hoisting it onto the boat, and then drive it back and set off firecrackers."

"That's right." She was a little person with big ideas.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and teased, "You know quite a lot."

"That's for sure."

"Brother Ajiang, the way you drive is too cool!"

The corners of Ye Chengjiang's mouth instantly split to behind his ears, "Really? How cool?"

"So cool, so cool. At this moment, you're even cooler than my dad!"

"Really, hahaha, then this evaluation is quite high, I believe you."

"Of course it's true. When you drive back to the village, the sisters in our village will be fascinated by you!"

Ye Chengjiang was even more proud, his chin raised high. He didn't want to marry a wife, but that didn't mean he didn't want to show off like a peacock to attract the opposite sex.

"That's for sure, don't look at who I am. I'm a hot commodity now. If only my dad could buy a small car someday."

Ye Chenghu said, "Didn't you already buy a big truck?"

"But I didn't drive the big truck back, isn't that a pity? Otherwise, I could at least have a moment of glory."

Ye Yaodong said, "The big truck didn't come back, but now there's a small car, and you've also had your moment of glory."

Lin Xiuqing was also full of smiles, "Who in the whole village doesn't know you bought a big truck? Matchmakers have broken your family's threshold, and your mother has been dazzled by the choices."

"Ignore her, I don't want to find someone in the village or nearby. It's just Chenghe who is silly, he hasn't seen women."

"It's as if you've seen many."

Ye Chengjiang quickly retorted, "That's not true, but at least I've seen the world. I'm not unable to marry a wife, why must I find someone in the village or nearby? And then in a few years, become like my mother, shouting and yelling with a loud voice every day, scolding the street with hands on hips. I don't want that."

No wonder the wife he found in his previous life was gentle, submissive, and obedient, listening to whatever he said.

The wife Ye Chengjiang found in his previous life was also at the right age, and then introduced by someone, but he had gone on many blind dates before settling down.

Life wasn't good or bad, anyway, she listened to Ye Chengjiang.

In this life, Ye Chengjiang went out to see the world early, his starting point was high, and his vision was naturally high. He definitely wouldn't look at the girls in the village or nearby.

Plus, with Ye Chenghai there for comparison, he definitely wouldn't easily settle for finding someone nearby.

No matter how busy Ye Ersao was, it was all in vain.

Now she probably also knew that Ye Chengjiang had high aspirations and ideas, so she wouldn't mess around, but she couldn't stop the relatives and friends from wanting to play matchmaker. His family had really been coming and going these past few days.

Being called to the city today, he felt relieved, otherwise, he wouldn't have had a place to hide.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and teased, "Then you should learn from Ahai and find a city girl with good family conditions."

"Oh, what's the rush? How old am I? At least wait until I'm 25. Let me play for another 5 years first. I haven't played enough yet, I don't want to be controlled by others. I just escaped from my mother's clutches, I don't want to fall into another person's clutches."

"By the time you're 25, Ahai and Chenghe's children will be able to buy soy sauce."

"That's just right, I can order them around."

Ye Chenghu changed the subject, "Brother Ajiang, I see that driving seems very easy for you, can you teach me?"

"Sure, it's very simple. It just so happens your family has two small cars, you'll learn in a few days."

"Okay, okay."

Lin Xiuqing said, "How old are you, what are you learning? It's not too late to learn later. Where in the village is there a road for you to drive and learn?"

Ye Chengjiang echoed, "That's right, there's no road in the village for you to learn."

Ye Yaodong also felt it was true, the roads in the village were too broken.

"The village should also repair the roads."

"Except for the New Year, people aren't at home, so it's not convenient to call on the village to repair the roads."

"When we go back, bring it up at the village committee, let the village committee apply to the county, see if they can allocate some funds, and we villagers can also raise some money. Repair the roads in the village, and everyone will benefit. After all, we are a famous wealthy village, but the roads in the village are still broken."

"Then you go bring it up."

"Didn't I just think of it? I've always been very busy, and I haven't had any free time since I came back for the New Year. You mentioned the road, and I just thought of this."

Actually, when he went out yesterday, he felt it was inconvenient that the road wasn't repaired. His father even changed out of his leather shoes and only put them on when he got to the city.

Everyone sat in the small car and returned to the fish sauce factory happily. It was already pitch black when they returned.

But the excitement of the three siblings hadn't passed yet. They were still circling the small car, sitting in and out, even lying down under the car to take a look.

Ye Yaodong's friends didn't know where they had wandered off to. When they finished the vehicle transaction, they went to wander around by themselves. He, his father, and his two nephews went to drive the vehicles to pick up his wife and children.

Now they were all back, but he hadn't seen a shadow of them.

The few workers specifically brought because they had to sail the large ship were still at the factory.

Ye Fu couldn't refuse the hospitality at dinner and drank alcohol. When they came back, Ye Chenghe was driving. He sat in the passenger seat of the Santana, still feeling some regret. He shouldn't have been unable to resist drinking in the afternoon.

But he didn't think too much about it. Who knew that after drinking, Dongzi wouldn't let him drive and called Ye Chenghe to drive? He could only sit in the passenger seat and watch, his heart itching with impatience.

Although both vehicles were Dongzi's, the Santana was designated for him to drive, and he had long regarded the Santana as his old partner in his heart.

When getting off the vehicle now, he was like the three children, reluctant to enter the house, taking a handkerchief out of his pocket to wipe here and there.

"The roads in the city aren't good either. The new car is covered in dust as soon as it hits the road."

"Grandpa, I'll go get you a bucket of water."

"By the way, go get a rag."

"Okay."

The four grandfather and grandchildren were very active, just dividing into two groups of four to wipe the two vehicles.

Ye Yaodong watched and said, "You guys are too full, right? Wiping it now, won't it be dirty again when you drive to the pier tomorrow morning?"

"Then let's just wipe it casually tonight, anyway, it's still early."

"You drank alcohol, aren't you sleepy?"

"I didn't drink much, why would I be sleepy? My alcohol tolerance is good."

Ye Yaodong ignored them. If they loved to work, let them work. He and Lin Xiuqing went into the house.

Lin Xiuqing was curious about the transaction process, so she pulled him to ask after entering the house.

"It was in an abandoned warehouse not far from the fishing port. When I went, the vehicles were driven out in advance, waiting for us in the open space at the door."

"Lin Ji must have greeted them. When we went, everyone had a tacit understanding, went straight to the point, I inspected the vehicles, and they counted the money."

"That is, hehe, the pile of 'Great Unity' (10-yuan bills) in our sack shocked them, they seemed a bit speechless, they had to send two more people to count the banknotes."

When they arrived with Lin Ji, seven or eight strong young men were leaning or standing, their eyes filled with scrutiny and vigilance. The middleman came up and whispered a few words to Lin Ji, and then they started the transaction directly.

He naturally didn't talk much. After the money was counted for them, he circled the Mercedes-Benz twice.

The car door opened, and inside were high-end velvet seats, and the dashboard revealed a precise industrial feel.

He even specifically leaned over to look at the steering wheel and pedals. Sure enough, it was a right-hand drive converted to left-hand drive, and the welding and modification traces in some places were slightly rough.

But it was said that this was too common in channel vehicles. As long as it could run and had face, it was fine.

He didn't understand the rest, so he let his father, Ye Chengjiang, and Ye Chenghe take turns sitting in it, starting the vehicle, and testing it by moving forward a few meters.

They all said there was no problem, so he was relieved. Anyway, as long as it could run, it was fine.

They also simply looked at the Santana and saw no problems.

The whole process didn't take 20 minutes. If it weren't for the fact that there were many 10-yuan bills in the money he brought, the whole transaction might have been done in 10 minutes and they would have left.

After all, they were channel vehicles and couldn't see the light. Naturally, the shorter the time for this kind of transaction, the safer it was.

Lin Ji had already driven the vehicles away a step earlier. This trip was to accompany them in the transaction. After it was done, he also got into their vehicle and left quickly.

Ye Yaodong described it simply to her to satisfy her curiosity.

"A 500,000 order was concluded in ten minutes, it was indeed fast enough."

"Yeah, it was just the time it took for me to take a dump, and the vehicles were done."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him all night, "You take a dump every day, you take a dump when you get up in the morning, you take a dump at noon, and you take a dump at night. You eat less than you dump, are you embarrassed?"

"You don't understand."

What's there to understand about taking a dump?

Lin Xiuqing didn't even want to pick up this topic.

"Then this vehicle is brought, what about no license plate? Do you still have to use connections to handle the license plate?"

"We don't have to work hard, they have connections. Give them an extra thousand or so, and they can handle the two license plates for me."

"That's good, otherwise it would be even more troublesome and annoying if we bought the vehicle without a license plate."

"Then when can we have it? Are you leaving on the ninth?"

"It doesn't matter, isn't there still a Lin Ji? When the time comes, we'll hoist the vehicles onto the boat and transport them to Zhoushan. When the license plates are ready, just let Lin Ji send them to me."

"It's good that he also bought a vehicle, otherwise it's always troubling others. Now it's considered on the way."

"Mm, after going back, invite him to a meal and have a drink."

"Then what time are we leaving tomorrow?"

"Early, three or four o'clock. Take advantage of the darkness, drive the vehicles to the pier and hoist them onto the boat, and transport them away early. Otherwise, it will be too blatant after dawn. Leaving early also means getting home early."

Lin Xiuqing nodded, having no objections, "Then we have to call those people at the door to come back and sleep early, to avoid not being able to get up."

"Mm, I don't know where Fatty and Aguang and the others wandered off to. After the transaction was completed in the afternoon, they went to play by themselves, and they haven't come back yet."

"They are all together, so don't worry. They will come back naturally in a while. When they come back, give them instructions to get up early tomorrow."

"Mm."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and went to call home first. They had just returned and hadn't called home yet. His mother was probably waiting anxiously.

Ye Mu hadn't gone out much after the afternoon, just sitting at the door chatting with everyone, terrified that they would call back and she wouldn't receive it.

As a result, she waited until dark and didn't wait for the call. She couldn't help but make one, and the person on duty said they hadn't returned yet, so she could only wait patiently.

It was just right for Ye Yaodong to call her.

"You finally called back, I was worried to death. Didn't you say you were going to trade in the afternoon? Why is it pitch black now, and you only call back?"

"The new vehicles were traded smoothly. I drove to Godfather's courtyard to pick up the children first, and by the way, had a meal there, and then came back. I just got home and called back."

"What time are you coming back tomorrow? What time will you arrive?"

"Before noon, I plan to get up at three or four o'clock and set off for the pier. You watch and wait, I'll call you again when I get to town."

"That's fine, then I'll have your big brother and second brother prepare firecrackers and smoke tomorrow."

After Ye Mu took the call, her heart was at ease, and she began to be excited.

Their family's two small cars were about to be driven back.

The two grandsons bought two big trucks and couldn't drive them back for the New Year, and they were all a bit regretful. Now the expectation for the big trucks was transferred to the small cars.

She happily shared it with the old lady immediately, and then went next door to share it with her other two sons.

By the next day, she had specially dressed up, tied a silk scarf, and even fastened a brooch, looking bright and beautiful, just waiting at the door.

She had to say a few words to everyone she met, saying that their family's small cars would be driven back in a while.

"Oh my, congratulations, congratulations, the small cars are about to be driven back?"

"How much did your family's small cars cost? You just renovated the new house, and now you've bought small cars?"

"Is it again filial piety from Adong to you? I heard Ye Laosan even passed the driving test in advance and is waiting."

"You really have good fate..."

Ye Mu sat at the door sharing and couldn't close her mouth from smiling all morning.

"The big trucks were bought up there, they couldn't be driven back during the New Year. These small cars were bought in the city through connections, so they could be driven back. In two days, they will have to be transported up again."

"The first small car in the whole village, everyone must watch it well when the time comes."

"We must visit your cars well in a while."

Ye Mu deliberately held back and didn't tell everyone that there were two small cars, planning to wait until the cars were driven back to shock everyone!

All morning, she sat at the door with her feet up, knitting the sweater Lin Xiuqing hadn't finished, her ears pricked up, listening to the movement of the telephone at home, and chatting with everyone to pass the time.

It wasn't until the telephone rang that she happily threw down the half-knitted sweater and quickly returned to the house to answer the phone.

Ye Yaodong drove the boat to the freight pier and then let Aqing call his mother, asking the family to drive the tractor over to pick everyone up. It just so happened that it would take time to hoist the vehicles off the boat.

Now that they had arrived in town, at their own doorstep, naturally there was no need to worry. They blatantly hoisted the vehicles down.

Both vehicles had red silk ribbons hanging on their ears, and the big red flowers prepared by Ye Fu were tied on the hoods. Anyone who saw them knew they were two new vehicles.

Being hoisted high by the ship, all the workers around the freight pier saw it, and those who didn't see it were attracted by everyone's exclamations and looked over.

Their large ship was already shocking enough, but they didn't expect that there were small cars hoisted on the large ship. Everyone's mouths were wide open.

The workers' hearts were moved to watch the fun, and they didn't even work, all surrounding to watch.

"Ah! Which boss bought cars again?"

"I saw small cars in our town at the beginning of last year, and at the end of the year, I saw two more small cars in our town. Now there are new small cars here..."

"My god, three small cars..."

The nearby workers exclaimed.

"Are you only looking at the cars? That ship is the big guy! When has our town ever had such a big ship? Even the passing supply cargo ships haven't been this big."

"Right, right, right, the first time our port has seen such a big ship, no wonder it's used to transport small cars."

"The logo on this big ship... seems a bit familiar, marked 'Dongsheng Fishery'. Is it bought by that big boss from Bai Sha Village, the wealthy village?"

"Right, Dongsheng Fishery seems to be that boss from Bai Sha Village. When refueling yesterday, I heard the refueling worker mention it."

"It really is that big boss from Bai Sha Village. The worker who refueled yesterday also said that he is the 'Ship King' in our area, with twenty or thirty ships this big."

Everyone gasped.

"What!!! Such a big ship, and he actually has twenty or thirty? This is too much? One ship must cost millions! How big is that boss's family fortune? My goodness..."

"Is it spreading rumors? Such a big ship, one is already incredible, and twenty or thirty?"

"Everyone says so..."

Ye Yaodong didn't get off the boat, but was operating the ship crane on the boat, and the workers were also helping on the deck or on the shore.

He didn't know that the pier was about to be sensationalized.

After the three vehicles were parked steadily on the pier, he let the three people who could drive move the small cars away from the freight pier first and park them on the nearby road to wait.

He had to sail the ship back to the shelter harbor. The freight pier here didn't allow long-term docking. Every day, many cargo ships docked to unload cargo. If his ship stayed here without moving, he would be complained about, delaying other ships from queuing to unload.

The family's tractor arrived to pick people up in a while. Their three vehicles parked on the side of the road had long been surrounded by passersby, three layers inside and three layers outside, all discussing whose family had such a big hand to drive three vehicles back at once.

They drove onto the street in a glorious and swaggering manner.

Ps: I originally wanted to write about driving directly into the village, but there was no time, and I was afraid everyone would wait too long, so I had to update first. ===== CHAPTER 1722 =====
