Chapter 1781 Bought (Supplement)
After dinner, Ye Yaodong went to the factory for a look around and let the two siblings play with their cousins for a while before taking them out.
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi were both dragging their feet, really not wanting to go out.
"Dad, it's so hot, can we go tonight?"
"Yeah, you told us not to be in the sun, but now you're telling us to go out in the middle of the day."
"It's too hot. You won't be able to stay there for long before they start work."
"Going at night when it's not hot is perfect."
It was a scorching hot day, especially at midday. Ye Yaodong glanced at the bright sun outside; it was indeed getting late, and he would have to leave after sitting for a while.
"Alright then, let's go after dinner."
The brother and sister were happy; they could play a little longer.
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes darted around and she said, "Dad, my cousin Guanggu said he's going to buy a Little Tyrant game console this afternoon. Shall we go with him? You're free this afternoon anyway."
Ye Yaodong looked at her speechlessly, "You guys were complaining about the heat just now, but you don't complain about the heat now?"
Ye Chengyang chimed in, "It's not that we're complaining about the heat, it's just that we think they've probably just finished eating and are about to take a nap. You won't be able to stay long, and you'll be disturbing Grandpa's nap. Older people need to take a nap at noon."
"Yes, yes, we can overcome the heat, but I'm worried that Dad will have to leave after only a few words."
Did he not know their little scheme? If they were focused on having fun, they wouldn't have felt hot, and they wouldn't have gotten so tanned.
"It's noon now, too hot. Let's go out later. You should all go take a nap. You got up too early this morning."
“We’re not sleepy. Let’s go play with our older cousins and help them with their chores.”
After saying that, Ye Xiaoxi turned around and ran back into the house.
Ye Chengyang also said, "Dad, I'll go in and help first. Call us when you're ready to leave."
After saying that, he ran away.
The house was just tidied up, and I'm washing and chopping vegetables to prepare the filling for tomorrow's breakfast. The two are very fresh, and I have to get my hands dirty with everything.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to go back to the factory to check the accounts first. He would take them out for a walk in the afternoon when the sun wasn't so strong, and buy what they needed. It would be better to go back early after finishing his business.
But I need to make a phone call first to let you know in advance.
He originally said he would go over in the afternoon after lunch, but he wasn't sure what time it would be, since it was hard to say when he would arrive. He only said he would call before he went.
If you need to go later, you should call ahead to let them know and try to go after get off work so as not to inconvenience them.
Jin Yuzhi is now retired and lives at home. She can easily make phone calls and someone will answer.
After making a phone call and explaining the situation, Ye Yaodong first inquired about the factory's accounts.
Lin Xiuqing checks the accounts at the end of each year, and in the middle of the year, it depends on the situation. Last year, after she went to Shanghai, he came back to check the accounts in the middle of the year, and it's the same this year. Anyway, the system is quite complete now.
However, he won't be able to continue in this finance position for much longer. He's pregnant and says he doesn't want to do it anymore. Wang Guangliang used to do quite well running his own business, so I guess his wife will be helping him out.
He also plans to bring one of his two nieces over to help him with his work after he goes back home.
Anyway, it's all the same whether you work in finance or not. Coming here to work for him is free and no one will bother you. The city is also prosperous. As long as he pays you a higher salary than other places, that's fine.
He had planned it all out perfectly. Both of them had passed their exams after the New Year, so there was no need to worry about finding someone to take over.
I'll tell my two nieces when I get back.
Ye Yaodong sat busy all afternoon. If the two children hadn't come to find him, he would still be sitting there reviewing the expenditures for the past six months.
"Dad~" Ye Xiaoxi called out earnestly, leaning on his desk.
He put down the ledger in his hand and then saw her.
"What's up? Had enough fun?"
"It's 3 o'clock, Dad. We can go shopping now. After we come back from shopping, we can have dinner and then go to Grandpa's house."
"Time management master, you've arranged everything perfectly for you."
"Is it okay? You've been sitting for so long, you should give your eyes a rest. Going out for a walk is a good idea."
Ye Xiaoxi rested her arms on the table, but her feet kept moving around, she was very lively.
"Buy a game console?"
"Yes, yes, Dad, you're so wise. Let's go buy a game console first. I won't bother you after we buy it."
Ye Yaodong rubbed his temples, actually feeling a bit sleepy. "Let's go, you guys are so annoying, you nag me 800 times a day."
"Great, let's go!"
The two excitedly ran ahead and got on the tractor first.
He followed behind and asked, "Aren't you going to invite your dear cousins?"
"My male cousins were called to drive, and my female cousins went to take a nap. They get up before dawn every day and take a nap every afternoon."
"Alright, I'm off."
Ye Yaodong also wanted some peace and quiet, otherwise they would keep nagging him.
"Don't either of you need to sleep?"
"No need, I'm not sleepy at all."
Ye Chengyang nodded in agreement. Right now, all he was thinking about was getting the game console, so he wasn't sleepy at all.
"Just buy a game console, shall we?"
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes sparkled; she hadn't expected to be able to buy other things. "Let's browse around a bit longer."
"No need, we'll just buy it and come back. Everything else is available in Shanghai. Shanghai's shopping malls are bigger and have a wider selection. If Shanghai has something that's not here, and if it's not here, Shanghai has it. The sooner we buy it, the sooner we can go home and play."
"Ah, right, right, we'll listen to Second Brother. We'll go to Shanghai and have Mom take us to buy the other things after school starts."
"As you wish."
Ye Chengyang looked at the street and exclaimed, "Dad, things have changed so fast here. So many roads have been built, so many shops, and so many houses have been erected. Just a few years ago, the area around here was quite desolate."
"Times are progressing, so you should also take a look around."
Ye Xiaoxi was young and her memory didn't last long. She knew it was getting more and more lively, but she didn't have many deep impressions. So when she heard this, she just looked around.
There was nothing new to her. Having seen the more bustling metropolis of Shanghai and the ordinary countryside, the urban vibrancy here had little impact on her.
If an ordinary rural child were to move to the city, their experience would naturally be different.
Ye Yaodong drove the tractor straight to the most bustling department store. The closer he got to the central street, the more lively it became. However, the sun was still very strong and hot, so there were fewer people on the street than in the morning, and it wasn't as congested.
He locked the car and headed straight to his destination with the two men.
Ye Chengyang had seen what the Little Tyrant looked like. He asked someone which floor the electronics were on and then headed straight for the 3rd floor.
Ye Xiaoxi followed beside him, and the two rushed to the front, leaving Ye Yaodong to follow closely behind.
"Dad, hurry up, the mall is about to close."
"It's not time yet."
"Then we need to hurry."
As soon as Ye Chengyang arrived on the third floor, he saw the red and white Little Tyrant game console in the electronics display case and excitedly rushed over.
"Yes, this is it, this is it, Dad, come quick."
The saleswoman in the dark blue uniform calmly watched them as she wiped the tea stains off the enamel mug. "You can't touch it if you're not buying. You'll have to pay for it if you break it."
“We want to buy,” Ye Chengyang said, pointing to the words on the packaging box. “It’s for use with cartridges. What about game cartridges? We need to buy those separately.”
"Are you sure you want to buy it?" The sales clerk looked at Ye Yaodong, and a smile instantly appeared on her face, making him look like someone who couldn't afford it.
"Bring the game consoles to them and let them choose from the game cartridges as well."
The salesperson's attitude also changed 180 degrees, with a big smile, and they enthusiastically asked me to take the game console down from the shelf and introduce it to them.
"Boss, this is the most popular Little Tyrant game console right now. Ours is absolutely genuine and can be plugged into a TV. These sell out every few days, and we just received a few today..."
As the salesperson spoke, they deftly connected the demonstration television and power supply.
"These two are the power cord and the video cable. Just plug one end into the back of the machine and the other end into the back of the TV. We'll connect and test them for you. The power button is this red POWER button. And the most important thing is this..."
She pointed to two rectangular slots on the main body of the game console.
"Put the game cartridge in here, face up, make sure it's firmly in place, then push the black reset button next to it, and the game will start!"
The two little eyes watched intently without blinking, and they were even more excited as the game images appeared on the black and white television.
"Dad, this is it! I've played this Super Mario Mushroom Eating game before."
"Second brother, is this fun?"
The sales clerk eagerly answered, "It's very fun."
She took out two controllers: "These two controllers, 1P is the main controller and 2P is the secondary controller. The brother and sister can play together and strengthen their relationship! They won't be afraid of fighting anymore."
Ye Yaodong looked at the two controllers and felt it was a bit difficult. There was another one at home, and who knows if they would play even more fiercely, and one of them would definitely cry.
Ye Chengyang excitedly explained to Ye Xiaoxi, "Eating mushrooms is fun, tanks are fun, but I think Contra is the most fun. Holding a gun and shooting enemies is so cool."
As soon as the salesperson heard them say that, they knew the two were connoisseurs, so they quickly took out a copy of "Contra" from the dazzling array of cartridges in the glass display case next to them.
"The Contra game you're talking about, young comrade, is this cartridge. You need to buy the cartridge separately."
"Buy it! Dad, we want to buy it!"
"Do you have enough money? If you don't have any, why are you shouting so loudly?"
"Hehe, isn't that what we need? Once we get back to Shanghai, we'll have money."
When the sales clerk heard they were from Shanghai, she became even more enthusiastic in introducing the products to them, and she also took good care of the two children.
"Kids, what kind of games do you like to play? This Contra is a fighting game, it's really exciting, and you can play it with two people. This Double Dragon is a fighting game, like a martial arts movie! And there's Red Fortress, where you drive a jeep to rescue people, the scenes are grand!"
Ye Chengyang turned to Ye Yaodong and asked, "Dad, shall I choose?"
"Then you can choose, but don't choose too many. When we go back to Shanghai, there might be even more options. If you buy too many now, your mother definitely won't buy you any new ones later."
"know."
The brother and sister enthusiastically began selecting items, listening to the salesperson's warm introductions.
They didn't dare to choose any more until they had each picked two.
Seeing that they had made their selections, Ye Yaodong said, "Take one machine, the one that has been tested. And pack up the cassettes they have picked out."
He didn't even ask the price, his generosity making the saleswoman overjoyed, her smile almost overflowing, and her voice rising eight octaves.
"Okay, boss, please wait a moment. The game console is 286, and the cartridge is 50. Let me calculate the total price."
Before Ye Yaodong could speak, the brother and sister jumped up, "Wow! So expensive!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at them, then took out his pocket and paid the bill.
The two quickly took the bags from the sales clerk, grinning like cats that had just stolen some cream, exchanging flirtatious glances.
Dad paid for it!
They don't need to pay!
I saved 200 yuan!
"I've bought everything, I'm off, I'm going home."
"go home!"
The two of them jumped up with joy.
"Second brother, can you carry this for me..."
"No need, it'll be heavy, I'll carry it."
"Could you get this for me...?"
Ye Yaodong simply carried it over, saving the two of them from fighting over it on the way.
