Chapter 1742: With company
Ye Chengyang was overjoyed; he didn't have to do anything.
You can make money without lifting a finger.
"Second brother, half for each of us!"
"Don't tell my brother!"
The brother and sister chuckled to themselves, both in perfect sync.
When they went to the cafeteria to exchange the money, they were overjoyed. It was a huge sum of 25 yuan!
They used to only have one yuan of pocket money a day, and last year they only received 20 yuan in New Year's money!
"Get rich!"
"More than the New Year's money!"
"Dad's definitely going to make a lot of money this year!" Ye Chengyang's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
"May Dad earn more money next year, so we can get more."
Ye Chengyang nodded repeatedly, "A little bit leaking from between Dad's fingers would be enough to fill our piggy bank."
"You have to work many days at the factory to earn 25 yuan. Aren't I smart? I just do my homework and then ask for credit to get a reward, which earns me much more!"
"Haha, when we get home we'll ask for lucky money, you can ask for a little more."
"Hehe, we're going home tomorrow. When Mom arrives, will she take us out for a stroll?"
"Okay, but you can't take out so much money, otherwise Mother will get suspicious and confiscate it."
"Understood, I'll put it in my bag and hide it right away."
The brother and sister were very happy and had long forgotten about Ye Chenghu.
Ye Chenghu had just picked up Lin Xiuqing and was excitedly telling her that he was going to help his father with chores and would be staying a few more days.
Lin Xiuqing already knew this and had no objections. She had originally planned to go back a few days later, but she had two young children and a lot of things to do at home.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, the workers need to be given New Year's gifts, so she needs to go back home. Also, the accounts for the year need to be checked, so she definitely needs to go back as soon as possible.
So Shanghai arranged for the shops to close today, which is why she rushed over to Zhoushan with her luggage.
After Ye Yaodong and the other boat captains in the office finished checking the accounts and had no objections, they signed the papers and asked Lin Dongxue to arrange for the money to be transferred to the account she had left for them, as he had other things to attend to.
For example, the fishing boat will be returning home tomorrow, and there are some trivial matters to take care of, as well as a list of personnel to be arranged for him to review.
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk to Lin Xiuqing when she came back to the factory, leaving her to make her own arrangements.
Having learned from their previous experience, Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi remained calm when they saw Ye Chenghu this time. They avoided talking to him as much as possible, since they were going back tomorrow anyway.
But their hearts were already brimming with joy, so they could only whisper and wink at each other in places where no one could see or notice.
Ye Chenghu was completely baffled. "Why are you ignoring me like I owe you money? Your smile disappears as soon as you see me? And you still have that sour face."
"No, we were just tired from doing our homework," Ye Chengyang lied through his teeth.
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes darted around, "Big brother, we're going back tomorrow, don't miss us too much."
Who would miss you?
"Big brother, we've almost finished our homework. Tomorrow we can go back to the village and play with our friends without having to rush through our homework."
Ye Chenghu's smile vanished instantly; he hadn't even touched his winter break homework.
"Big brother, we need to pack our schoolbags and luggage."
The two of them ran off again in a flash.
They burst into laughter when they got back to their empty dorm room.
Ye Chengyang said smugly, "Hehe, at least we weren't discovered this time, otherwise we would have had to split it with him."
"My brother is so pitiful. He works hard behind Dad every day, but he doesn't even earn as much as we do."
"Shhh."
"I'm going to find my mother. Remember to lock the door."
Ye Xiaoxi ran off happily. She wanted to report to her mother that she had finished her homework so she could ask for praise again. Even if she didn't get any money, a few words of praise would be fine.
There's no need to pack Lin Xiuqing's luggage; she can take it with her tomorrow.
All she had to do was help Ye Yaodong pack his luggage in advance so he could leave as soon as the holiday started, saving him the trouble of packing haphazardly himself.
As soon as Ye Xiaoxi ran over, she asked, "Mom, what time do we leave this morning?"
"Let's go to blackjack."
Ye Chengyang asked, "Did you call home and tell them?"
"Not yet, your dad should have already called, right?"
"Let's go to Dad's office to make the call. The old lady and the others will definitely be happy."
"Don't bother him. He must be very busy right now. Going to his office will only disturb him. Go call the security guard instead."
"Oh."
Ye Xiaoxi obediently went to the gatekeeper, only to find that the gatekeeper was doing nothing but sitting in the sun at the gate.
"Grandpa, I've come here to make a phone call."
"Okay, it's inside. Go and fight it yourselves."
"Hey."
As soon as Ye Xiaoxi answered the phone and heard the old lady's voice, she immediately said, "Grandma, the security guard at my dad's factory has it so good. He sits in the sun and gets paid every month. I think you can do it too."
The old lady was amused as soon as she answered the phone.
"Why would I keep doing this? I'm 90 years old, and you still won't leave me alone? I still need to make money!"
"Uh...hehe, but you just sit in the doorway every day in the sun at home."
Ye Chengyang chuckled even with his ear close to his.
They even wanted the old lady to work as a security guard to earn that money; how could she even think of that?
"I'm old and useless now. What time are you coming back tomorrow? Chenghe's children need to be looked after by him. Don't let them catch a cold. All this traveling back and forth must be tough on the kids. I didn't leave them at home back then. Ah, finally they're coming back..."
The old lady kept rambling on and on, missing Ye Chenghe's son terribly whenever she talked about him.
"I wonder what the baby looks like now. He's nine months old. Can he crawl yet? Have you seen him crawl? Can he say 'Dad'?"
"Huh?" Ye Xiaoxi scratched her head; she had never even met her nephew before.
"Or, should I tell you, Second Brother?"
The old lady seemed not to hear, absorbed in her own words, and continued muttering.
"How is your dad? Has he gotten darker and thinner? He's perfectly fine, but he's coming back a few days later than everyone else."
“If you sit in the doorway and bask in the sun for a few more days, my dad will come back.”
"Oh, good, good. When you come back, the house will be lively again, just like it was a few months ago. The house has been cleaned up for you, and you can move in right away."
"Okay, but don't complain about how noisy we are."
"No, no, the house is so quiet and deserted when you're not here. They go to work during the day, and there's no noise at all."
"Why don't you come here next time? You can sit with the security guard at the entrance and enjoy the sun. You'll have company."
"Do you have company?"
“It’s good to have company. He sits alone at the door every day, he must be very bored. You two can sit together in the sun and have someone to talk to.”
Ye Chengyang was speechless. What were they even talking about?
"Give it to me, I'll tell you."
P.S.: I drank some alcohol, my eyelids can't take it, and my head is still foggy. I'll post another picture during the day tomorrow.
