Chapter 1783 Preparing to Leave
Ye Yaodong and Director Chen drank tea and chatted about everything under the sun, from current events to their children. They didn't leave until around 9 o'clock, as the two elderly people needed to rest and had to go to work the next day.
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi reluctantly put down their game consoles. They had just gotten into the game when they were forced to stop, and now they were extremely frustrated.
As soon as they said goodbye to their godparents and left the house, they rushed onto the tractor, urging Ye Yaodong to hurry home.
I hadn't had enough of the game console I just got, and then I was stopped during dinner. Now I'm being stopped again. I feel like I haven't had enough fun yet, and I really want to go back and continue playing.
"Dad...drive faster, there's no one around at night."
"Who said that? What if a drunkard or alcoholic appears on the road? It's dark at night, so we have to be extra careful driving. If we go back now, you all need to sleep, so no more playing around."
Ye Chengyang groaned, "Isn't it too early to go to sleep now..."
“You guys go to bed at 9 pm in Shanghai, but don’t you have to go to bed at 10 pm in the factory? Go back and wash up now, it’s about time to go to bed.”
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes were already squinting a little, but she still stubbornly insisted, "I'm not sleepy."
She yawned as soon as she finished speaking, but knowing she had just been being stubborn, she quickly covered her mouth halfway through the yawn.
Ye Yaodong mimicked her voice in a strange tone, "I'm not sleepy~"
"Father~"
"Go back and get some sleep. You all got up really early this morning, and I told you to sleep at noon, but you didn't. You're not sleepy at this hour, so you're not allowed to play. I'm confiscating your game consoles when we get back, and nobody can play until they wake up tomorrow."
"Ok."
Ye Xiaoxi was still young and didn't feel that addicted. She was indeed a little sleepy at the moment, so she hugged Ye Yaodong's waist and leaned against his legs.
Ye Chengyang didn't dare to bargain, knowing that his father would take away the game console when he got back and wouldn't allow him to play it at night, so he gave up.
When they returned, Lin Xianghui's house was still brightly lit. Ye Yaodong told the two of them to go upstairs to sleep while he went to put away the game console, but they both refused. Before going to sleep, they insisted on going to check on it and making sure it was put away.
When they reached the door, the house was noisy and filled with sounds of fighting and shouting from upstairs.
"It's my turn to play..."
"It's my turn next."
"Stop arguing, I'm not dead yet, let me die first..."
"No more playing! What time is it? We have to get up early tomorrow to open the shop and drive."
"Let's play a little longer..."
When Ye Yaodong and his group arrived at the door, there was this noisy commotion.
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi were now full of energy and rushed inside.
After stopping for half an hour, his addiction was temporarily broken. Ye Chengyang shouted to them, "My dad said we can't play anymore."
"Oh, I haven't even had my turn yet, it'll be my turn soon."
Ye Yaodong walked in, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked at the several internet-addicted teenagers.
"After the last game, we put it away. Everyone has to go to work, do their jobs, or drive their vehicles tomorrow."
"We can get up..."
"You'll have to confiscate the game consoles too. They've been playing for so long, they're probably all very hot. Don't let them burn out the TV, or you'll all be in big trouble."
Lin Guanggu was the first to stand up straight, deciding not to watch anymore. "Forget it, I'm going to sleep. I'll buy one myself tomorrow and play with it at home."
"Uncle, you didn't go back tomorrow, did you?"
No, probably the day after tomorrow.
"Great."
They can take turns playing for a while longer tomorrow.
After Ye Yaodong and his characters in the game died regretfully, he unplugged the game console cables and put away the bag he had opened in the afternoon.
The young men and women looked on with regret and lingering enjoyment, reluctant to go to sleep just like that.
"Alright, everyone go home and get some sleep. Your parents are probably asleep by now. You're still making a scene here, and you haven't even been kicked out yet."
"Remember to turn off the lights, close the doors and windows when you're leaving last."
After giving his instructions, Ye Yaodong took the two back to the factory to sleep. Before going to sleep, the two of them would take one last look at the game console.
He could tell what kind of nonsense they were spouting just by the way they stuck their butt out.
"You can only play after 8 a.m. tomorrow. You're not allowed to get up early to play. If I find out, I'll confiscate it."
"If we had woken up earlier..."
"Waking up early isn't allowed either; it has to be after 8 a.m."
If no time is set, I reckon he'll get up and play around four or five in the morning tomorrow.
Okay, the two of them went to sleep peacefully, no longer needing to think about waking up early to play a little longer.
The two of them got up very early this morning. They should have been sleepy, but they were so excited to play video games that they didn't want to go to sleep at all.
As soon as I lay down, I fell asleep instantly.
Moreover, she slept soundly until 8:30 the next day without anyone waking her up. She had overslept, and her cousins next door had been coming over to check on her frequently since 7:00, which made them very uncomfortable.
Ye Yaodong continued to review accounts and check goods today, and didn't have time to deal with them. After waking up, he let them play as they pleased, knowing they would eat on time anyway.
In the afternoon, Lin Guanggu came back for lunch and brought back a Little Tyrant game console, which excited all the boys and girls in the room. Finally, it wouldn't take an hour or two to get one.
After scolding him for wasting money, Lin Ersao didn't bother with him anymore. After all, he was already so old, and he earned all the money himself. She had never seen him buy anything before.
After finishing her meal, Ye Xiaoxi, not having had a turn to play games, leaned close to Ye Yaodong and asked discreetly, "Dad, do we really have to wait until tomorrow to go home?"
"what?"
"I want to go home as soon as possible."
"I want to go home early and have all the game console to myself!"
"hey-hey……"
"I'll go back tomorrow morning after I finish everything I need to do today. Aren't you guys going out shopping?"
"No, it's too hot. We just want to go home. The malls here aren't as big as those in Shanghai. School starts soon, so we can go back to Shanghai to shop."
"Play less, or you'll ruin your eyes."
"No, I take turns playing with them, and it takes a long time to play for a while. When I'm not playing, I go to the market to find my grandparents."
"Yes, we're going back tomorrow. We won't be able to see your grandparents for another six months or so. Spend more time with them when you go."
Ye Yaodong also wanted to finish things here as soon as possible and go back home so he could stay a few more days.
Today is only the 16th, I'm going back tomorrow, the 17th, so I expect to stay for another three days.
It's been about 10 days since the beginning.
During the day, the boys had to work driving tractors. They agreed that the girls at home would play with the tractors during the day, and when they came back from driving the tractors at night, the boys would play with them.
This can be considered a staggered division of labor, with clear roles. After all, we can't just stop making money because we're playing games.
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi were naturally an exception, since one of the machines belonged to them. They didn't have to work anyway; they were just visiting.
The two of them really played from morning till night, except for meals in between, and they also let others play for a while.
I had a great time today.
Going home is even more enjoyable. They don't even need to leave the house. Once they get home, they play video games and won't go out no matter who calls them. Traditional activities like going up mountains, down to the sea, swimming, and catching fish with their friends no longer attract them.
The advantage is that they don't have to go out and get tanned, but this also attracts a large group of kids to watch them play games at their house. As the number of kids keeps increasing, Ye's mother scolds them every time she mops the floor at noon, afternoon, and evening.
Everyone is criticizing Ye Yaodong.
“As soon as you came back, most of the children in the village were brought here. Except for meals, they stay here all day long. You just think my life is too easy.”
"Why buy a game console? You don't need to read books anymore, you can't even get them to eat, they're practically deaf, and they can't hear you when you talk."
"Throughout the day, neither of them has said a single word to me, nor have they even looked at me properly."
Ye Yaodong patted the two of them. "Did you hear me?"
Ye Xiaoxi turned her head, her eyes wide open, and even used her hands to pry open her eyelids to look at her mother.
"Grandma, I'm looking at you properly now! I'm looking at you with my big eyes wide open, okay? Is that alright?"
"This game is over, I'm going to watch the news, you guys get out of here and have fun."
"what?"
Ye Chengyang stared at the screen, typing and complaining at the same time, "You didn't say that a few days ago. You told us not to go out and to just stay at home and play, otherwise we'd look like wild monkeys every day and get tanned like charcoal."
Ye Xiaoxi chimed in, "Yeah, Dad, you were the one who told us not to run away before, but now that we're staying home, you're kicking us out again. You're so contradictory."
"I told you to stay home, but I didn't tell you to stay home all day. I told you to go out and play, but I didn't tell you to go out and play wildly in the sun all day. Alright, go out and play when you're done, but don't bother me while I'm watching the news. Unplug all the cables."
Ye Chengyang watched him reluctantly as he unplugged the phone, "Then after you finish watching the news..."
"After watching the news, you grandmas and grandpas want to watch TV dramas, and after that, it's time for you to go to bed. So you've had enough fun for today, and that's it. You can't overdo it."
"Ok."
After mopping the floor, Ye's mother reminded them, "You can't bring a bunch of people into the house tomorrow. It'll make a huge mess. You two should be the ones cleaning."
“We didn’t let them in; they came in on their own.”
"Then you two need to mop the floor clean for me tomorrow."
Ye Chengyang didn't want to mop the floor. "We'll close the door tomorrow so they can't see it."
Ye Xiaoxi said, "We're leaving the day after tomorrow, so let's stay one more day! It'll be so lively when everyone comes over. Grandma always happily gives them melon seeds to eat."
"No wonder there were sunflower seed shells all over the floor. It's all your doing. Everyone, young and old, is a debt collector. We'll have to work like slaves for you even when we're old," Mother Ye grumbled incessantly.
Ye Yaodong said, "Don't be so sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. I know you're happy to see us back. We've had two wonderful days together, so cherish them. After we leave, it won't be as lively anymore."
Ye's mother did not speak.
The old lady had already started to sigh.
