Chapter 1806

It was already two days later when Ye Yaodong arrived home.

After the two little ones got off the ship, they stretched their bodies hard and jumped twice on the ground with force.

"Oh yeah, finally home!"

"Not home yet, we still have to take a bus to get home."

"Dad, how long does it take to unload the cargo?"

"We don't need to worry about this. There are people in charge specifically assigned to the ship to arrange delivery and records, as well as collecting payments."

Ye Chengyang stretched his neck curiously and looked around, "Dad, is the money you earn too easy?"

"Easy? Your dad doesn't stay home every day when he returns. I have to socialize, accompany people for drinks, and accompany them for meals outside to maintain good relationships. When I earn this money, you can't see when I'm tired. This is the network I accumulated bit by bit, the business I ran out bit by bit, integrated into a line, and then arranged for others to connect. They only need to operate it like fools, and I still have to maintain it fixedly, treat people to meals, and so on."

Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly flattered him, "Dad, you're really awesome, you're the most amazing!"

"Let's go, find a bus that stops by, we'll go home first. Once they finish unloading and delivering, they'll report to me."

"Let's go~ Grandma must have been sitting at the door waiting since early morning."

Ye Chengyang asked curiously while walking, "Dad, then after they unload the cargo and the ship is docked at the pier, do they have to take turns sleeping on the ship to watch it?"

"Of course, each of them has to take turns watching the ship. Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"

"It's not that I just learned how to steer the ship, so I'm a bit more attentive to the ship and have a bit more curiosity."

"Mm, the ship still has to have people watching it. There are too many valuable items and machines on the ship."

Ye Yaodong led the two of them onto a small bus that could pass by their village entrance. It was already piled full of various baskets and crates, as well as unsold melons, fruits, vegetables, and poultry.

In the middle of summer, mixed with the smell of sweat and gasoline in the carriage, the pungent smell rushed straight to their heads as soon as they got on the bus.

And the three of them's city-dweller attire was clearly out of place in the carriage. Although they hadn't bathed for two days and their clothes were wrinkled, they hadn't done anything but rest on the ship, so their clothes were still clean and stylish.

Especially Ye Xiaoxi, wearing a puffy dress, beautiful little cartoon sandals, and a hair clip on her head. Although her hair was a bit messy, one could tell at a glance that she wasn't an ordinary rural little girl.

At this time, whose little girl had a beautiful puffy dress? Who wasn't wearing what their brothers and sisters had left behind? Even if they had new clothes, at most they were just ordinary dresses. Puffy dresses were very expensive now.

As soon as they got on the bus, everyone looked at them curiously.

Ye Xiaoxi didn't dislike the smell on the bus, she just wrinkled her nose, and with quick eyes and hands, ran to the very back and grabbed a window seat.

"Dad, second brother, here, here, this seat has a window!"

Ye Chengyang hurriedly squeezed over and said in a low voice, "So smelly!"

Ye Xiaoxi nodded in agreement, "But I feel that rotten fish and shrimp are even smellier."

"That's true."

The two of them whispered to each other.

And the people on the bus heard Ye Xiaoxi's speech and knew they were locals, so they were even more curious.

An aunt turned her head and started asking directly.

"Hey, which village are you from? You don't look like locals at all, even the little girl is so stylish. Are you returning from outside?"

It was fortunate that there were no young and beautiful girls among them; otherwise, the aunts would have spread other gossip.

"Yes, Bai Sha Village."

"Oh my, so it's Bai Sha Village. I was wondering which village it was. No wonder you're so stylish. I heard that everyone in your whole village is especially rich, and everyone has made a fortune in the past few years."

Others on the bus chimed in, "How did you all make a fortune? Can you tell us? I heard you're all catching fish outside. Can catching fish make such a big fortune? I heard everyone made a fortune?"

"The women in your village are so blessed, they all sit at home enjoying happiness, while the men earn money outside and send it back."

Ye Yaodong didn't even need to speak; the whole bus started discussing it themselves. Everyone could talk to each other and could directly chat about their village.

He was used to it.

Let alone him, the other two children were also used to it; they just looked out the window.

The bus departed at a fixed time. Once the time arrived, the driver got on the bus and set off.

Ye Xiaoxi jumped for joy, "Finally moving..."

"There's wind now that the bus is moving."

"Second brother, are you hot? When we get home, I'll treat you to a popsicle."

"Did the sun rise from the west?"

"No, after we get home, Grandma will definitely happily take me to buy popsicles. I'll buy an extra one for you then."

"... Thank you."

"I prepared a gift for Grandma, Grandma will definitely be very happy."

"What?"

"A chain for her reading glasses, to put on the glasses, so Grandma won't have to look for her reading glasses every day."

Ye Chengyang gave her a thumbs up in surprise, "How are you so smart?"

Ye Xiaoxi raised her neck proudly, "Of course. When I'm at home, Grandma looks for her reading glasses every day and calls me to help her find them every day."

"Then when I was studying, I saw our principal grandma wearing reading glasses with a chain on them, so I ran over to ask her where she bought them."

Ye Chengyang: "..."

She really had guts.

"I asked her how much it cost, gave her the money, and asked her to help me buy one. I said it was for Grandma at home, who couldn't find her glasses every day, so the principal grandma helped me buy it."

"How can you talk to anyone? Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of at school? Besides, I didn't know who she was at first. I just called her grandma and asked about her glasses chain. I followed her all the way to the office, and then she agreed to help me buy it."

Ye Chengyang looked at her with complex eyes, "You really can get familiar with anyone."

"No, right? I wanted to ask about her glasses chain, so I chased after her to ask. Why would I follow someone I don't know?"

Ye Chengyang had nothing more to say.

Ye Yaodong didn't know what the two of them were whispering about, but looked at the windshield in front, constantly paying attention to where the road had reached to prevent going too far.

When they reached the village entrance, he shouted, and the driver braked urgently. He held onto the back of the chair to prevent falling out.

He was sitting in the middle of the last row, facing the aisle.

"We're here, get off the bus."

The two of them jumped and hopped happily, looking at the dusty dirt road, shouting, "We're home~"

"Hey, wait, why is the road in the village flat?"

"Dad, does our village have a cement road now?"

"Wow!"

"It's completely changed!"

"Dad, hurry up, the village has completely changed. Our village has a cement road now. Wow, it's all flat roads, no dirt roads anymore."

"When was the road repaired? How come I didn't know? Haha, the village suddenly looks so clean."

"But there are so many chicken footprints here..."

"There are some here too..."

The two of them happily wandered around on the cement road with their heads down, not afraid of the sun.

"Hurry home, the sun hasn't set yet, it's very scorching, don't get sunburned."

"Second brother, let's run faster and see if the entrance to the new house has also become a cement road."

After the two of them finished speaking, they rushed straight to the entrance of Ye's mother's house, and Ye Yaodong also walked with big strides.

It was three or four in the afternoon, and it was still very hot. You couldn't see many people on the village road, but in the cool places where the sun couldn't reach, you could still see some old people sitting in the shade with big cattail leaf fans, or napping in the cool under big trees.

Children were even less likely to play on the road. At this time, they were either by the river or by the sea, or they were on the mountain, definitely not on the road.

Those who saw Ye Yaodong greeted him in surprise.

Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi had already disappeared.

When the two of them were about to reach the door, they shouted while running.

"Grandma... Grandma..."

"Grandma... we're back..."

The old lady was sitting in the shade at the door peeling melon seeds. Hearing the call, she hurriedly looked up, then happily stood up in a hurry. Her face wrinkled into a ball, and she spread her hands, waiting for the two to pounce over.

"Grandma, I knew you must be sitting at the front door waiting for us."

"Grandma, did you miss us?"

The old lady couldn't close her mouth from happiness, holding one in each hand, patting their shoulders, "Missed you, are you hot? Why are you running and sweating all over? Walk slowly. Oh my, my little ancestors, your faces are all red..."

"Grandma, look, have I grown taller? Have I become thinner and prettier?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you've all grown taller, you're almost taller than me, you're almost a big girl, you have to eat more, look at you, you've become thin, there's almost no meat on your face."

The old lady smiled and touched her face with the back of her hand, afraid that her rough hands would scratch her little face, and then took their hands, one in each hand.

"Let's go, go inside, Grandma will cook eggs for you to eat, and stew chicken for you to eat at night."

Nearby neighbors heard the commotion, came out to look, and were surprised.

"Oh my, the two little ones from Dongzi's family are back? Have your dad and mom come back?"

"My dad brought us back, he's behind. Grandma Chunzi, did you get a perm? It's really beautiful, really stylish, just like a Magic City person."

"Really? Magic City people perm like this? Then this money I spent was worth it, hahaha... I have to let the other old sisters go perm one later... listening to Lixiang was really not wrong..."

"It's really especially beautiful, especially stylish. If you wear a floral dress again, it will be even more beautiful."

"Oh my, I really have one, I really bought it, just bought it from your grandma, she really didn't lie to me..."

Ye Xiaoxi coaxed the aunt next door to be overjoyed in just a few sentences, and she believed in Ye's mother's taste even more.

Ye Chengyang felt that he had to learn from his sister; she could talk to anyone, she was really too lively and cheerful.

"Are you thirsty? Grandma specially bought popsicles and put them in the refrigerator, and there's ice water, frozen jelly, all things you love to eat!"

"Wow! Grandma, you're the best, all things I love to eat." Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly rushed toward the refrigerator, not even taking off the schoolbag on her body.

Ye Chengyang followed closely, but didn't forget to coax her a few words, "Grandma, you've worked hard, I also like the hot spring eggs you stew."

"Good, good, good, I'll stew hot spring eggs for you right now. I knew you must be hungry, you must want to eat when you come back."

The old lady was extremely happy, instantly full of energy, her legs and feet were strong, and she walked faster.

Ye Xiaoxi only remembered the glasses chain she brought for the old lady after she licked the popsicle.

"Ah, almost forgot, Grandma, I brought you a gift!"

The old lady was very surprised, "Ah, my darling even brought me a gift? What gift did you bring?"

She stuffed the popsicle into her mouth, and hurriedly went to unpack the schoolbag, "Sss~"

As soon as she pulled the zipper, her mouth was frozen, so she hurriedly stuffed the popsicle into Ye Chengyang's hand, not even raising her head, "Second brother, you hold it for me first."

"Ding ding ding ding~" She took out a shiny silver chain, "Grandma, look!"

"It's a necklace, it's really beautiful..."

"It's not a necklace, it's a glasses chain, it can be hung around the neck, so you don't have to worry about not finding your glasses when you take them off."

The old lady looked curiously, "This? How do you hang this?"

"I know, I'll help you, the principal grandma taught me how to buckle it on."

Ye Xiaoxi carefully took off her reading glasses, then helped buckle the chain on, put the chain on the old lady, and then carefully put the glasses on.

"Wow! It's so beautiful, Grandma looks so good wearing it."

Ye Chengyang looked and nodded repeatedly, "Mm, beautiful, looks very rich, cultured, and wise."

The old lady touched her glasses with a full face of smiles, and touched the chain, "It looks quite novel, city people have many tricks, I'm also enjoying happiness."

"Definitely, what city grandmas have, Grandma has too."

"How much is this? Is it expensive? Is your pocket money enough? Grandma will give you money to spend."

"No need, I have money, I have a lot of money, I saved a lot of money, I haven't spent it yet."

Ye Yaodong walked into the house just right, "Who has a lot of money? Lend me some to spend?"

"Dongzi, you're finally back, come and see, are my glasses beautiful? Ajiu bought me this chain, she said city grandmas all wear it like this, specially bought it for me, look, is it beautiful?"

The old lady was full of excitement, touching the chain and the glasses, unable to put them down.

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Xiaoxi with appreciation, "Beautiful, very beautiful, looks like a smart old lady."

"Hey, right, right, smart, smart, I'm not senile yet, isn't that smart?"

She was happy when she heard this description.

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Xiaoxi curiously, "When did you buy it? How come I don't know? Where did you buy it? How did you think of buying this?"

"I saw the principal grandma wearing it and thought it looked good, and thought Grandma would definitely look good wearing it too, and it's convenient, don't have to look for glasses everywhere..."

Ye Xiaoxi told the story of how she thought of buying the glasses chain and how she bought it.

Ye Yaodong felt a bit speechless after hearing it. How could she talk to anyone and get familiar so quickly?

But really, no one could refuse her little request.

"Bought it quite well."

"Of course, the principal grandma wore it, I think it must be good."

The old lady touched her head lovingly, "It must be expensive, right? Grandma will give you money to buy delicious food later."

"Grandma, my money must be more than yours."

"Really? Hehehe... then Grandma will wait for you to be filial to me..."

"Grandma, I want to eat stewed eggs, hurry up and cook, I'm starving."

"Good, good, good, it will be fast once the water boils."

Ye Yaodong touched his pocket, took out a 100-yuan note, and quietly handed it to Ye Xiaoxi from behind.

Ye Xiaoxi's eyes instantly emitted 100,000 volts of light, and with quick eyes and hands, she hurriedly pulled the banknote away, stuffed it into her pocket, and smiled like a cat stealing fish, secretly glancing at Ye Chengyang.

Seeing that he didn't notice, she smiled even more sneakily.

Ye Chengyang was sitting next to the old lady, helping her burn the fire.

She quietly leaned over to Ye Yaodong's side, "Dad, I love you the most."

"You say this to everyone, you must have already said it to Grandma once when you just came back."

"I loved Grandma the most just now, now I love you the most."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes with a smile, "Hurry up and hide it."

She took the schoolbag and secretly put the 100 yuan back into the schoolbag.
