Chapter 1789: Progressing Together

Lin Xiuqing simply told them about what she saw in Guangzhou for a few days again. The children in the car were chattering and asking questions they were interested in, and she patiently answered them one by one.

She had to answer with a patient smile, right? There was a potential future daughter-in-law in the car.

Can't let people feel that the family is not harmonious, must leave a good impression on people.

Zheng Shuya kept pricking up her ears to listen, actually quite shocked in her heart. She knew Ye Chenghu's family conditions were good, but didn't know they were this good, actually having a small car, and his own mother could drive!

And Guangzhou, Canton Fair, Zhoushan, factory, etc., simply opened the door to her new world. It turned out that the boys in the class bragging about Ye Chenghu were all true.

Her inner shock was unknown to anyone. She pretended to be calm on the surface, and looked forward. When they reached the intersection, she reminded them whether to turn left or right.

When they reached their village entrance, she politely greeted them and then got out of the car.

Lin Xiuqing waited until they got out of the car before asking, "Ye Chenghu, give me an explanation."

Ye Chenghu played dumb. "Explain what? Let's hurry home, I'm so hungry."

"You weren't hungry when you were dawdling sending the female classmate home."

"Didn't I say it? On duty together, so walked home together after duty."

"I believe your ghost. From the moment you came out of school, your head hasn't been straight, you didn't even look at whether the road was straight, wishing you could twist your head off and stare at the front of the classmate."

Ye Xiaoxi shouted to supplement, "And we parked such a big car on the side of the road, you didn't see it, walked to the front, and I had to shout at you before you discovered it."

Ye Chengyang interrupted, "Big brother only saw Zheng Shuya."

Ye Chenghu blushed. "Don't talk, no one treats you as a mute."

"Explain clearly." Lin Xiuqing looked forward while driving.

"Mother, don't listen to their nonsense, we are just classmates."

"Ugh~"

The brother and sister didn't buy it, they were tearing down the stage.

"You two shut up."

"You two speak, speak clearly and there's a reward."

The brother and sister looked at each other, and then looked at Ye Chenghu who was glaring at them.

Ye Chengyang coughed dryly. "Mother, you'd better ask big brother, we don't really know, this must be clearer to big brother himself."

Ye Xiaoxi also looked at Ye Chenghu. "Big brother, why don't you tell Mother? Sister Xiaoya's grades are so good, she will definitely be able to pass the university entrance exam. You follow her to study more, let her tutor you and explain questions, you will definitely be able to pass, Mother definitely won't hit you."

Ye Chenghu was in a struggle.

Lin Xiuqing didn't urge him either, just looked at him from the rearview mirror from time to time.

"If you don't say it, when your father comes in two days, I'll tell him."

Ye Chenghu was speechless. "I won't tell you, when Father comes, you will definitely tell him too."

"Then tell me now, that little girl is fair and clean, and looks quite polite. Since I ran into it, you have to tell me, and I didn't hit or scold you, and didn't say anything unpleasant in front of people just now. You didn't have any inappropriate actions, what's wrong with telling me? Unless you have a ghost in your heart."

"What ghost can I have in my heart?" Ye Chenghu protested. "I'm afraid you will be unhappy, angry, and oppose it? Then the whole family will take turns criticizing me."

"The whole family criticizing you? Did I criticize you? Or did your younger brother and sister criticize you? I see them acting like dog-headed military advisors giving you ideas."

Ye Chengyang: "Exactly, I didn't criticize you, we even went out together to find books, pondering how to write love letters, but in the end, you didn't tell me if it succeeded?"

Ye Xiaoxi: "Big brother, you are too immoral, used and discarded. Mother, we don't know if big brother and sister Xiaoya succeeded, he didn't tell us, just said he went to school to play ball on weekends. Anyway, he runs to school every weekend, haven't seen him so active in reading."

"Big brother comes back very late every day after school, Mother, you don't know when you come back late from work. I think it must be the same as today, sending Zheng Shuya home first."

"Sister Xiaoya is quite good. Before, when we went to the bookstore together on weekends, she would bring me snacks and teach me to do homework. Big brother and second brother think I'm annoying, they don't know as much as sister Xiaoya."

Ye Chenghu glared at these two, they were covering for him before, now they were spilling beans one by one, all said.

"Looks like you've had a lot of contact. Going out every weekend, you two get along quite well."

"Of course, big brother said he wanted to cultivate feelings with sister Xiaoya, but sister Xiaoya likes me, let him bring me along, but big brother doesn't bring me anymore recently, hasn't brought me for the past two months, he definitely has a ghost!"

"Shut up, you've said everything, what else can I say?"

The bottom was leaked, and Ye Chenghu didn't struggle anymore.

"Don't you want to talk about it?" Lin Xiuqing looked at him through the rearview mirror.

"Just like what they said, they've said everything."

"Then did you succeed?"

All eyes in the car were staring at him, everyone was curious.

Ye Chenghu couldn't open his mouth. Stared at by so many people, how could he say it. "Mother, why are you so gossipy?"

"I'm concerned about my son's campus life. You're already dating early, and I ran into it today, can't I ask a few more questions?"

"Let's talk when we get back."

Ye Chengyang protested. "What can't be said!"

Ye Xiaoxi: "Mother said little aunt is at our house this afternoon, eating together tonight, if we go back, little aunt must be there, and two cousins too!"

"Then don't say it, anyway you all know, and we won't affect our studies. She can even help me solve problems and explain questions!"

Lin Xiuqing laughed. "Then you found a free tutor?"

"That's not how you say it, we are progressing together, we agreed, wait until we graduate from university to confirm the relationship, now we must prioritize studies. She wants to work hard to pass the university entrance exam. I'm a bit behind now, but she will help me, let me ask her if I don't understand. Every weekend we go to school to study and do homework, she explains questions to me."

"I said you, for these two months, every weekend you said you went to school to play ball, and didn't bring me."

"Bring you for what, you annoying drag-bottle."

"So, you and sister Xiaoya are not dating? You failed?"

Ye Chenghu glared at her angrily. "This counts as success, not failure. We are just prioritizing studies now, and will confirm the relationship after graduation."

"Oh~"

"However, big cousin, if you don't pass the uni..." Ye Chengyang hurriedly covered Pei Yu's mouth.

"What are you saying, big brother will definitely pass for sister-in-law and two small cars! Now that the stakes are raised, he must pass."

"Exactly."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "You decided this is right, Mother supports it very much. The most important thing right now is learning, and then go all out to pass the university entrance exam. As for dating, it's not too late to date after entering university. No one will care about you dating then, even getting married is fine."

"Really? You don't oppose our contact?"

"Why oppose it? Isn't it quite good like this? You are progressing together, and it didn't affect your studies, and you clearly know what you want, quite good."

Ye Chenghu was happy. Originally, he was quite uneasy, afraid that his mother would scold him if she knew, and not allow them to contact.

"Mother, Xiaoya's grades are very good, she and our class monitor, and the study committee member, the three of them often fight for first place. We also have grade rankings, over a dozen classes, hundreds of people, she can always enter the top 50 every time."

"That's quite good, should be able to pass a key university?"

"Don't know about this, only in the second year of high school, the third year of high school in the second half of the year, the teacher will estimate it in the third year of high school."

"Then you also have to work hard, the girl's grades are so good, if your grades are too bad, how can you be worthy of her?"

"Then dating doesn't look at grades, we talk about feelings, not grades. I'm so handsome, and I can play ball, I'm also very popular, I also often receive love letters!"

Ye Xiaoxi interrupted, "But big brother, you are a bit short, you are not as tall as Father..."

"You dead girl, I'm already considered tall among the boys in the class! There are only one or two in the class as tall as Father, you compare with Father every day, you just find someone like Father in the future."

"I just want to find someone like Father! No one can compare to Father."

"If no one can compare to Father, then you will be a bachelor in the future."

"Bachelor then bachelor."

Lin Xiuqing laughed. "Your father is not here, these words are wasted even if you say them. A bit wasteful, wait until he comes in a few days, you say it to him again, guarantee he will be overjoyed."

"I'll call Father when I go back."

"I'm still growing, I will grow taller, in two years, I will definitely be able to grow as tall as Father."

Lin Xiuqing said, "You will, your father said playing ball will make you grow taller, and you play ball every day, you will definitely grow."

Ye Chengyang: "I also want to play ball every day to grow taller."

Lin Xiuqing said again, "Brought a pile of specialties from Guangzhou, you go back and pick, you can bring some to school to share with classmates. Chenghu, you also look at it and pick some for your little teacher."

"Not little teacher, call her Xiaoya, otherwise it's weird."

"You were sitting with the study committee member, how did you get along with Xiaoya?"

"Yes, sitting with the study committee member doesn't hinder me liking Xiaoya? Xiaoya's deskmate didn't want to change with me before, disliked me as a foreigner, now it's okay to change, but it's only half a semester left until the holiday, let's talk about it in the third year of high school in the second half of the year."

"I thought you wrote love letters to your deskmate a few months ago."

"How can that be, my deskmate is not good-looking, just good grades. Xiaoya is good-looking and has good grades, I noticed her when I was in the first year of high school."

"So you targeted her in the first year of high school."

"No..." Ye Chenghu felt he talked too much.

Ye Chengyang crawled to the back of the front chair and said, "Mother, I think you driving the small car to pick us up today was too right, it gave my brother a lot of face! Added points to my brother!"

"Classmates all know my family has many boats, and a factory, and also a Mercedes."

"Then your classmates know, it should all be hearsay, there are definitely not many who have seen it. Zheng Shuya definitely hasn't seen it, today is seeing is believing. Big brother, people have had a short contact with Mother now, and they definitely like you even more."

"You are so knowledgeable, did you date early?!"

"You talk nonsense, dating early yourself and still want to put shit on my head."

Lin Xiuqing said, "No dating early, Chenghu's kind of agreeing to take the university entrance exam together and progressing together is fine. Alright, home, no more babbling, get out of the car."

As soon as the car drove into the courtyard and stopped, the twins in the house immediately ran out to call people.

After calling everyone once, seeing the car door open, they drilled in.

Ye Chenghu was going to close the car door, but saw the two drill through his armpit. "Ai... what are you two doing? We are getting out of the car, what are you two drilling into the car for?"

"Want to sit in the car!"

Lin Xiuqing looked at them with a smile. "Then let them stay in the car, anyway, I turned off the engine and pulled out the key. Every time they come over, they have to climb into the car."

Ye Huimei ran out and pulled the two out of the car. "Don't add to the chaos, what to sit in the car? It's not like you haven't sat in it, just look at it and touch it, it's time to eat."

"Sigh, when will Father buy a car?"

"Mother, do you want Father to buy one too?"

Ye Huimei glared at the two speechlessly. "You think it's buying cabbage? Grow up and buy it with your own money."

Lin Xiuqing took the opportunity to lock the car door.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi got out of the car, she ran into the house. As soon as she ran in, she was stunned. "Wow~ clothes all over the floor... Mother, how many clothes did you buy?"

"There are some children's clothes, and small skirts, leave them for you, wait until after dinner, you can distribute them."

"Mother, are there any suitable for Xiaoya?"

"I'll pick two for you later."

Ye Huimei was curious. "Who is Xiaoya?"

"My future sister-in-law!" Ye Xiaoxi spilled the beans and sold Ye Chenghu out.

"Ah?"

Ye Chenghu was already powerless to stop it, Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu both spilled everything out.

"Good thing, Chenghu is stronger than Chenghe, and better at finding than him. In the future, your family will be two university students, it will be enviable."

"Little aunt, don't listen to their nonsense, it's not even a start, don't go around shouting anymore."

Ye Xiaoxi retorted, "Obviously it was you who wanted to pick clothes for sister Xiaoya, you said it first."

"You talk too much."

"I'm going to call Father, not talking to you."

She ran to the sofa, jumped on the sofa, and picked up the phone to dial.

Ye Yaodong also arrived at the factory in the afternoon. Without resting, after arriving at the office, he started to get busy distributing orders to everyone.

Each order is kept well, and they are also responsible for urging goods and delivering goods later.

Then he had to copy a copy and hand it to the production workshop, let the production department rush to catch up with the goods, and there was a series of docking matters to arrange.

From returning to the factory, he was busy spinning around, and hadn't sat down to rest.

Until the office phone rang, someone ran over to notify him, and he returned to the office to answer the phone.

"Hello, where?"

"Here, it's me here, Father. It's me here. Father, I miss you so much, I thought you would come back with Mother, didn't expect you didn't come back, just Mother came back. I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much, even more than I miss Mother. When will you be busy and come find us?"

Ye Xiaoxi said a series of things as soon as she heard Ye Yaodong's voice.

"You speak a bit slower, you said a series of things, almost didn't hear clearly, wait for me to be busy in a few days and have time, I'll go see you."

"I said it faster to save phone bills!"

"Still missing this bit of phone bill, where did you learn it?"

"I thought of it myself, I shortened two minutes of words to one minute, so I can save one minute of phone bill, we have to be diligent and thrifty."

"Then if I didn't hear clearly, you said it in vain. Already called, still missing this bit? Just came back from school?"

"Yes, Mother went to pick us up from school, Father, do you know what we saw when we were dismissed?"

"Saw what? Is it an old snake again?"

"Not at all, I ran into big brother and sister Xiaoya, big brother's eyes didn't stare at the road, just stuck on sister Xiaoya's face, we parked the car on the side of the road, he didn't see it..."

Ye Xiaoxi instantly sold her big brother, said a series of things, and gossiped about her big brother.

She thought, her mother knew everything, her father would know sooner or later, so there was nothing to hide.

Her mother wasn't angry, even sent sister Xiaoya home, spoke so gently, her father definitely wouldn't be angry, she also wanted to talk more with her father.

Ye Yaodong understood later that this Xiaoya was the object Ye Chenghu found, her grades were very good, helping him tutor and explain questions, the two had already agreed, progressing together, and going to university together.

"Isn't this quite good? Next time let your big brother call people home for dinner."

"Good, then I'll tell big brother, then Father you can come over in a few days."

"I can, you ask your big brother if he can?"

"Big brother can hide, didn't let us know, asked him and he didn't say, fortunately we ran into it today, let him not be able to hide."

"Not bad, still your brother is smart, strike first, found a free tutor, help him pass the university entrance exam, and can marry home in the future."

"Father, then you have to reward big brother with two small cars."

"No problem, as long as he can pass, buy them all for him."

Ye Xiaoxi was very happy, as if it was to be bought for her. She turned to call Ye Chenghu, but didn't see anyone.

"Big brother? Just here, forget it. Father, then when are you coming over?"

"In two or three days, come over and stay for a week, is that okay?"

"Okay, too okay."

Ye Yaodong planned to accompany them, and by the way, handle the freight yard matter.

Last month, he took time to come over with Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe to book the car, and arranged for over a dozen people to take the driver's license test. Because he was also busy with the Canton Fair, he didn't stay long, and the freight yard side hadn't been tidied up yet.

Now wait for the things on hand to be busy for two days, and then bring a few people over to watch, and change a piece of land in Pudong into a freight yard.

Just find someone to tidy up the land, enclose the outer wall, and build a few houses as offices and dormitories.

The over a dozen retired soldiers he arranged to take the driver's license test all lived in the dormitory area he built before.

This trip over also needs to see how their test progress is.

Too many pending items, even if he comes over, he has to handle things, not pure rest.

And the factory also needs to tidy up a batch of production machines to prepare for the Canton Fair in the second half of the year. This year's output must be two or three times higher than last year.

June is coming soon, and it will be the fishing ban by then. Don't know what it will be like this year. Anyway, the near sea will definitely continue to be banned. By then, he will definitely arrange for those Dongsheng ships to return with his father.

A pile of things are imminent, so he can only run to Shanghai when he can find time in two days, who knows when he will have time later.

Ye Xiaoxi lay on the sofa with the phone, talking to her father about this and that, and was sticky for a long time, until Lin Xiuqing called for dinner, she reluctantly hung up the phone.

"Father, Mother called for dinner, I hung up, you have to keep your word, come find us in a few days."

"Alright, understood, eat first."

"Then you also go eat, don't be too hard, Mother and I will feel distressed, you are our family's pillar, no, it's the pillar of the sky."

"Fine, fine, fine, understood, housekeeper."

"Hung up, mua~"

After Ye Xiaoxi hung up the phone, she ran to the dining table, and then went to claim credit to Ye Chenghu.

"Big brother, Father said, let you call sister Xiaoya home for dinner in a few days!"

Ye Chenghu's chopsticks fell directly on the table, dumbfounded, "You..."

He almost swore, but held it back.

"You big loudspeaker, why did you pass the message so fast? Just said it in front, you immediately called Father, can I still have any secrets, can this family still have secrets?"

"What secrets? Mother knows, the whole family knows, what secrets are there in the family?"

"Why are you so big-mouthed! Can't you hide it? Only a few minutes, just came back and told little aunt, and then called and told Father."

"What's the relationship? I covered for you for so long, now Mother knows, of course it means Father knows too, I just told Father in advance, Father was very happy, straight praising you for being amazing, promising."

Ye Chenghu's momentum weakened a bit, and his anger also collected a bit. "Then you can't tell everything, can't hide any secrets, I won't tell you anything in the future."

"Impossible, you can't hide anything, you can't hide from our fiery eyes."

Ye Chenghu glared at her, "Won't give you anything in the future, won't buy anything for you to eat, don't think about squeezing a cent from me. Wait until you sleep at night, I will hit you two more slaps, hit you until you are swollen."

"I even fought for you with Father, let Father reward you with two Mercedes, Father even agreed. Wait until I tell Father, don't buy you Mercedes, don't buy you two small cars, wait until you pass, only buy you a grandfather's car, if you don't pass, beat you to death."

The friendship boat of the brother and sister capsized just like that, and they wanted to beat each other to death.

The twins also stubbornly joined in.

"Cousin said three deaths, big cousin is going to die three times!"

"So miserable, then we can eat three banquets..."

Ye Chenghu's expression almost couldn't hold it.

Ye Chengyang already laughed, "Eat three banquets, hahaha..."

Ye Huimei also couldn't help laughing and glared at the two. "What does it have to do with you? You talk too much, eating can't block your mouths, everything has to be interrupted, hurry up and eat yours."

Lin Xiuqing also smoothed things over. "Don't babble, hurry up and eat yours, your father is also a mouth talking nonsense, don't listen to him."

Ye Chenghu glared at Ye Xiaoxi and lowered his head to eat.

Ye Xiaoxi glared back even bigger, not to be outdone. ===== CHAPTER 1790 =====
