They left on the 20th as planned, having packed their luggage the day before.
Although Ye's mother complained every day that they made the house filthy, brought a large group of people to make noise every day, and mopped the floor all day long, she was still a little reluctant to see them leave.
The two children each gave them 50 yuan, saying they would buy them school bags and stationery for the start of the new school year.
The two happily accepted the money, since Ye's mother was rich, not old, and could still earn more.
When they returned from the city, their maternal grandparents gave each of them 100 yuan, which made them so happy they couldn't stop smiling.
Going home was totally worth it. I bought and took home so much stuff, and made several hundred dollars, more than they earn working a regular job.
When they left, they were all reluctant to go. Although they had been back for ten days, they had spent four days on the road and two days in the city, so they had only spent a total of four days at home. They hadn't had enough fun yet and had to leave again.
Fortunately, they gained a lot from this trip.
One person earned 250 yuan and also received a Little Tyrant game console.
It's a pity there's no TV on the ship; the return trip was even harder than the journey there.
The two men sat in the cockpit, bored, and could only stare at the screen, their legs swinging back and forth.
Ye Xiaoxi watched the screen flickering incessantly, then a brilliant idea struck her. "Dad, can we plug the Little Tyrant (a popular Chinese game console) into the screen?"
"Huh?" Ye Yaodong was shocked.
"Is it okay? This screen can display the same thing, and the Little Tyrant (a popular Chinese game console) cable can be plugged into it too, right?"
“You can plug it into your head,” Ye Yaodong said, patting her head. “What kind of bad idea is this? This is a ship’s machine, not a television. There’s no port to connect it to.”
Ye Xiaoxi scratched her head, "Oh..."
"Just stay put, it'll only take two days anyway."
The two of them sighed and looked listless.
"Have you finished your summer homework? If not, then do it. You're just idling around anyway, so finish it early so you can relax when you get back to Shanghai. You can play and shop whenever you want, instead of cramming at the last minute."
Only then did the two reach into their schoolbags to find their homework, and unusually, they obediently did their homework for two days on the ship.
Although the ship was rocking, when there was really nothing to do, one could still concentrate on the work without any distractions.
Ye Yaodong was pleased to see them doing their homework diligently every day, and he became even more certain that the game console could not be brought to Shanghai.
If the two of them knew what their father was thinking, they would definitely regret being so honest.
The factory originally planned to hold a social event on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which happened to be the 24th. Ye Yaodong and his group returned two days early, which was just in time. He had also calculated it himself.
Lin Xiuqing knew this too, and she was also calculating the time, thinking of coming to see the excitement on the 23rd.
I visited once last year and found it so interesting. I love watching these young people being shy and hesitant, and I'm thinking of coming back again.
It's been a while since I've seen the father and sons, so I came to visit and stay for a couple of days. I can also bring my son and daughter back to Shanghai with me, since school starts in a few days.
Take them back and help them pack up. Some will get haircuts, some will buy clothes, and others will need new stationery and backpacks for the start of school.
After arriving at the factory, Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi went straight to their dormitory.
Ye Yaodong's dormitory has a black and white TV set, which is the same one he brought from his old home. He watches TV exclusively by himself.
This makes it convenient for the brother and sister to play games.
With the game console, the two of them no longer felt tired. As soon as they got back, they would plug it in and start playing immediately.
They've had the game console for so many days, and they haven't even thought to call Ye Chenghu to let him know.
Poor Ye Chenghu was still struggling to catch up on English, completely unaware that his younger siblings were having so much fun playing video games all day.
When Lin Xiuqing came over the next day, she deliberately didn't bring Ye Chenghu with her, since he still needed to take English lessons.
She was surprised to see the brother and sister playing games in the dormitory, chattering away.
"When did you buy this game console? No wonder your dad said you weren't going to work at the factory anymore and told me to come to the dormitory to look for it."
The brother and sister, their eyes glued to the television, called out "Mom" without even turning their heads.
"You have something to do, but you don't make any money? How much does this thing cost? When did you buy it? I've never heard your dad mention it."
"I bought it a few days ago when I was at home. Dad bought it for over 200 yuan. It's so much fun. Mom, I'll let you play with it for a bit later."
Lin Xiuqing didn't take it seriously; how much fun could it be?
But after Ye Xiaoxi dies, give her the controller and let her play two rounds.
"...Wait, wait, let Mom play one more round. I'm sure I can beat it. I just died by accident earlier."
"Ah, you've been playing it again and again, I've been waiting for so long."
"Let your second brother play with you. He's been playing for so long, make him stand up."
"Second brother, Mother wants you to get up, it's my turn..."
"I knew you shouldn't have let Mom play with it. Dad has never even played with it. If Dad had played with it, we would have been doomed! Neither of us would have been able to play with it; we would have let them play with it."
Ye Xiaoxi pouted, regretting her decision. She wished she hadn't been so kind as to share it with her mother.
Lin Xiuqing, who had been seduced by them, instantly transformed into an internet addict.
Ye Yaodong stayed in the office until dinner time, but didn't see the mother and her two children come down, so he came up to check on them out of curiosity.
Oh no, my wife has fallen for him too.
"...Sweetie...play one more game for Mommy, and I'll give it back to you when you're done..."
It was Ye Xiaoxi's voice again, "Then it's a deal, it's the last round, you can't lie to me."
"Yeah, the last game."
What are you three doing?
Ye Xiaoxi quickly complained, "Dad, I only let Mom play with it for a little while, and then she wouldn't give it back to me. We took turns, and every time it was her turn, she would play an extra round. It made me so angry!"
Lin Xiuqing looked at the game screen and chuckled, "You know what, this game that kids play is really fun, it's a good way to pass the time, no wonder there are so many people gathered around those game machines on the street."
"How come you're just like them, getting all worked up?"
"You've never played it before?"
"No, they're always hogging it, how could I possibly get a turn?"
"It seems your daughter loves me more. She shared her game with me as soon as I arrived, but they didn't even think to share the game console you bought with you."
Ye Yaodong's eyes widened. "Damn!"
Lin Xiuqing chuckled.
“When we first bought it, all your brothers’ children were crowding around it, and they couldn’t even share it all. They were about to fight over it. How could I possibly get a turn? After we got home, my two friends and their friends were also crowding around it. My mother was so busy mopping the floor every day that I couldn’t even get a turn to play.”
"No need to explain, explaining is just covering it up!"
"Grass!"
“You’ve had it for so many days and you still haven’t gotten your hands on it, but I got my hands on it as soon as I arrived.”
Ye Yaodong didn't want to talk to her anymore and glared at the two children.
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes widened even more than his, and she looked completely innocent. "You didn't say you wanted to play."
"Did your mother say she wanted to play?"
No.
Ye Xiaoxi kept her mouth shut.
"Time to eat, no one is allowed to play anymore."
"Oh? Dinner's ready?"
The three of them watched him together, and it seemed that he had nothing to do, so the three of them had nothing to do either.
"What are you looking at? It's almost 6 o'clock, you know? If we don't go eat soon, there won't be any food left. Aren't you hungry after playing so late? There's something fun here, so we don't need to eat."
"Okay, that's a wrap."
Lin Xiuqing controlled the mushroom-eating dummy to jump into the pit and commit suicide.
Ye Chengyang was still trying to struggle, but Ye Xiaoxi simply unplugged the power cord for him.
"All done! Time to eat!"
Ye Chengyang stared, but dared not say anything.
Ye Yaodong said, "You'll be going back to Shanghai in two days. Catch up on any homework you need to do, as school starts soon."
"know."
The two spoke in unison, their faces completely indifferent; they were unaware that their carefree days were about to end.
He couldn't bear to see the two of them so happy, and said, "When we get back to Shanghai, you're not allowed to bring the game console back with you."
The brother and sister: "!!!"
"Why!"
The two were utterly shocked; it felt like the sky had fallen.
"Because playing with toys is a waste of time and energy. Seeing you so engrossed in it day and night, you don't need to study when you go to Shanghai. Just play for a few days and then you'll be good when you go to school."
Lin Xiuqing was about to say something, but then she remembered that her eldest son would be taking the college entrance exam next year, so she kept quiet.
"don't want……"
"what……"
The two of them cried out in pain.
"Shut up, protests are invalid, I'm in charge."
"Dad...we promise to study hard and finish our homework before we play," Ye Chengyang pleaded, his face full of longing.
"No, if I buy it and leave it at home, you'll definitely be thinking about it every day, and you'll be doing your homework half-heartedly."
"We promise we won't."
"No need to even think about it, whenever we come over, we'll play here."
Ye Xiaoxi hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, we just bought it, we've only just started playing with it, we haven't had enough yet, how can you take it away?"
"Not negotiable."
"Dad, please, take it to Shanghai for us. Mom loves to play there, won't you let her play?"
Ye Yaodong glared at Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing quickly said, "I don't like playing with it. I don't care if it's left here."
Ye Yaodong was satisfied; he thought she was sensible.
"You were just trying to play with me, and now you're saying you don't like it? Aren't you being dishonest? You're so fake!"
"What I did just now was new, but it's nothing for me to make a sacrifice so that you can study well."
Ye Chengyang said with heartache, "If only we had paid for it ourselves."
"Yeah, we should just buy it ourselves, then Dad can't keep my game console." Ye Xiaoxi was on the verge of tears.
"Hurry up, or we won't have any food to eat."
"We don't want to eat anymore," they both protested in unison.
Ye Chengyang made a last-ditch effort, "Dad, please take it to us. My older brother hasn't even played with it yet. At least let him touch it."
"You don't need to worry about him. Since he hasn't played before, he can focus on his studies."
Ye Xiaoxi: "Can we give you the money we paid for it?"
"Do you think I'm short of money for a game console?"
Ye Xiaoxi stood there stomping her feet frantically, yelling, "Dad!"
"Calling me grandpa won't help."
"Where are our ancestors?!"
"Our ancestors are underground and can't come up, so calling them won't help."
The two were furious, angry, and helpless; children have no human rights.
Ye Yaodong ignored them and headed towards the cafeteria on his own, not caring whether they followed or not.
Lin Xiuqing, walking beside her, said, "Why didn't you wait until you ate before saying this? Now neither of you will be able to eat."
"I said it as soon as I thought of it, so that they could be mentally prepared in advance."
"It's too late to say it before we leave."
"I can't stand seeing them having so much fun playing games, so I'm letting them process this beforehand to avoid any last-minute commotion."
"Now that I've said it, I don't want to go back to Shanghai."
"I have to go back even though I'm reluctant, school starts soon."
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi followed behind, their faces long and sullen.
P.S.: Just wanted to add that there will be no update tonight. I was helping my aunt move into her new house. She asked me to come to her house at 8:30 pm and I didn't get in until the early hours of the morning.
