Chapter 1736 Satisfaction (Next Chapter 2)
Ye Yaodong has been busy with the exhibition, and there's not much time left, only about half a month. He doesn't plan to go overseas, and it's only about three months until the Chinese New Year.
We need to boost our sales performance at the trade show at the end of the year.
He wouldn't just endure hardship without facing it; going to sea in the dead of winter is so cold, dirty, smelly, and exhausting.
The ships are all quite stable now. The crew members on board each have their own duties, and there are corresponding supervisors on shore. He doesn't have to do everything himself. He only needs to ask a question, and all the data sheets will be delivered to him. He doesn't have to suffer unnecessarily.
He can be considered to have successfully landed ashore.
There is one unstable factor: we don't know what the fishing moratorium policy will be like next year. If deep-sea fishing is still allowed, then there's no need to go to the high seas. Otherwise, he'll have to go on a boat and go to the high seas to see for himself.
However, we can think about next year's issues next year. Who knows what the policy will be like? It's still in the early stages of change, and it can change every year.
Ye Yaodong kept a close eye on production and selected samples, working tirelessly until National Day. He went to Shanghai a few days earlier than the workers.
It's perfect timing since the kids are on holiday for National Day, I can spend a few days with them, otherwise he'll be busy again.
Moreover, Ye Chenghu was still resentful that Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi both went to Jinjiang Amusement Park and the zoo during the summer vacation, while he didn't go anywhere. He had clearly promised to take him there before the start of the school term, but instead, he went home for a banquet.
He had completely forgotten about it, but when he heard his classmates talking about where they had gone during the summer vacation after school started, he remembered it.
During this time, he would call every few days, constantly saying that he hadn't kept his promise.
Lin Xiuqing originally planned to drive them there on the weekend, but Ye Yaodong thought that since it was only a few days until National Day, he would take them there together during the National Day holiday.
There isn't an exaggerated holiday peak yet, but the National Day holiday will still be more crowded than the weekend, though not to the point of being packed with people. It's lively with more people during the holiday.
The three siblings knew that Ye Yaodong would come over during the National Day holiday and then take them to Jinjiang Amusement Park, and they had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi kept talking about how fun several places were and what activities they offered, making Ye Chenghu scratch his head, eager to go there as soon as possible.
He was even more excited than usual when he saw Ye Yaodong.
"Father! You've finally come!"
"Dad, we finished all our homework last night and are just waiting for you."
Ye Yaodong smiled as he looked at the group, "It's rare to see someone so diligent. They finished their homework as soon as the holiday started, instead of procrastinating until the last day."
Ye Chenghu asked impatiently, "What time do we leave tomorrow?"
"Let's leave at 8 o'clock. We should arrive by 8:30, which is perfect. There should be fewer people if we leave early."
"Great."
Ye Xiaoxi leaned closer to Ye Chenghu and asked, "Big brother, do you want to bring your girlfriend along?"
Ye Chenghu's face instantly turned a deep shade of liver. "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did I get a boyfriend?"
He glanced guiltily at his parents.
"I saw you secretly writing love letters."
"Nonsense, I was writing an essay!"
Ye Chengyang grinned mischievously, "Big brother, if you don't let your eyes wander, I'll believe you."
"Get lost, stop bothering me! I need to go to university and buy a new car!"
"Brother, you can buy a new car just like a college student!"
"I think you're the one who wants to find a girlfriend, aren't you? Judging from your eager look, you must have been dating back in middle school, just like Chenghe."
“There really are some in my class, but I don’t have any. If Dad says the same thing to me, then I’ll definitely reserve one in advance during high school, and then we’ll both get into university, so Dad can reward us with two toy cars!”
"Two cars?" Ye Chenghu looked at Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong glanced at him, giving him a look that told him to figure it out himself.
Then he continued talking to Lin Xiuqing, ignoring him.
Ye Chenghu couldn't understand whether the reward was really two cars.
Ye Chengyang bumped his shoulder like a good friend, "It's definitely possible. You just need to plead with him a bit. Dad is easier to talk to than Mom."
Ye Xiaoxi leaned even closer, and the three heads were pressed together, whispering their secrets.
"Big brother, what's the name of the girl you like? Can you point her out to me after school? I can help you deliver love letters, I love doing that kind of thing."
"Don't make any noise."
"Wouldn't it be awkward if you handed him the love letter yourself? What if there were female classmates around? Wouldn't you be embarrassed then? But if I, your sister, were to handle it, it would be a breeze for you!"
Ye Chengyang chimed in, "Big brother, don't worry, we definitely won't tell Mom and Dad!"
"I don't believe you. You always tattle when we're fighting."
"Fighting is fighting, but we won't fight now. If you can really get a car from your dad after you graduate, then I can definitely get one too, right?"
Makes sense!
Ye Xiaoxi said, "Then can I have one too? When I go to high school, I'll ask our class monitor, and then I can ask Dad for two cars?"
The two brothers exchanged a glance, sensing the impending danger.
Maybe her class monitor's legs need to be broken by his dad, and she still wants a car? A wheelchair would be more like it.
Why are you all looking at me like that?
"No, I think you need to find someone who can take a beating."
"That's right!" Ye Xiaoxi waved her little fist. "You can't just knock me down with a single punch."
Ye Chengyang changed the subject and asked, "So, brother, have you sent out your love letter yet?"
Ye Chenghu hesitated for a moment, feeling that the three of them were indeed on the same side, and said in a low voice, "No, I can't write it. I've looked through so many books and newspapers, but I feel like there's nowhere to copy from."
"You're silly. Let's go to the bookstore. They have lots of extracurricular books, and reading them is free. Let's bring paper and pens to copy them down."
Ye Chenghu's eyes lit up. "Then let's go to the bookstore after we've had our fun in a couple of days. I heard there's a copy of 'Border Town' that we can read."
"I'll go too, I'll go too."
"You're everywhere, you little brat."
"If you don't let me follow you, I'll tell on you."
Ye Chenghu gestured with his fist at her.
"Do you still want me to deliver your love letter? Do you still want me to praise you in front of my sister?"
Ye Chenghu glared at her, then acquiesced.
"Hey bro, which girl in your class are you going to write a love letter to? What's her name?" Ye Xiaoxi's eyes were full of gossip.
I'll tell you later.
"Still trying to hide it from me? It must be your classmate, the class monitor!"
Ye Chengyang shook his head. "It shouldn't be. My older brother's deskmate is short and fat, and he has fly droppings on his face."
"That's the squad leader and the vice squad leader?"
"Help me figure out how to write a love letter, then I'll let you know! I'm going to play ball."
"I'll go as well."
Both of them had run away, leaving only Ye Xiaoxi. Bored, she moved closer to Lin Xiuqing, hugging her arm and snuggling up to her.
Lin Xiuqing complained of the heat, "They've all run out, why are you still here?"
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes darted around, thinking that she should scout things out for her brother in advance and pave the way for herself!
"Dad, if my older brother finds a girlfriend and they both get into university, can you reward him with two cars?"
"Did your older brother send you to gather information?"
"No, I'm the one who wanted to ask. I'm just curious."
"If he has the ability, of course he can, but he can buy one when he passes the exam and another when he gets engaged."
Lin Xiuqing patted him and said reproachfully, "The child is still young, why are you telling her this? What if Chenghu hears it and it affects her studies?"
"What impact? Won't it give him more power? It also gives him more leverage! Which worker can just buy a car that costs tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan? Once they know, they'll all have to study like crazy."
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes sparkled. "Then when I go to high school, I'll also reserve a boyfriend with good grades in advance."
"Ok?"
"I'll go tell my older brother the good news..."
She ran away as fast as she could.
Ye Yaodong's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly; he felt like he had lifted a stone only to drop it on his own foot.
Lin Xiuqing gloated, "See?"
"Is it too late for me to back out now?"
“I told you not to talk about it, but you insisted. Now look what’s happened. If your daughter follows suit, you’ll have a headache.”
"It's alright, she's still in elementary school. We'll keep an eye on her," Ye Yaodong reassured himself.
The next day, Lin Xiuqing drove her three-pronged Mercedes-Benz with her family of five to Jinjiang Amusement Park.
The three people in the back row had their eyes glued to the window and were chattering away.
Ye Xiaoxi said to Ye Chenghu in what she thought was a very soft voice, "Big brother, after you come here today, you can bring your favorite female classmate here. Jinjiang Amusement Park is so much fun. If you bring her here once, she'll definitely fall for you."
"Shh..."
"I spoke very softly, my parents definitely couldn't hear me."
Ye Yaodong, Lin Xiuqing: "..."
"And the zoo, we're going to the zoo tomorrow. You can take turns bringing your female classmates, or you can bring several of them? Surely one of them will like you, right?"
"But you can't be as stingy with me as you are with me. You won't even let me touch your new basketball, and you make a fuss over hitting the badminton shuttlecock all the way up to the roof. You're so disgusted with me. No one will like you if you're like this..."
Ye Chenghu covered her mouth, "Shut up, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Ye Xiaoxi nodded, and only then did he let go.
She added, "It's a pity Brother Jiang isn't here. He's very generous..."
Hearing this, Lin Xiuqing also remembered the social event, "Isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 10th, next Saturday?"
"Yes, the factory has already arranged the get-together for next Saturday, right after the exhibition ends and we go back. We can also hold a celebration banquet after the get-together."
"That's great. The whole factory has been busy preparing for the exhibition lately, and everyone has worked hard."
Ye Xiaoxi's attention was diverted, and she quickly pounced on the seat in front of her. "Mom, I want to go to the factory to see what's going on. Shall we go to Dad's factory next Saturday?"
"Okay, let's go to your dad's factory together for the Mid-Autumn Festival and have a family reunion."
"Great."
Lin Xiuqing warned her, "Don't keep whispering to your older brother and coming up with bad ideas. Mind your own business. If any of you drop in grades, you'll both get a beating."
The three of them immediately became obedient, sat up straight, and dared not do anything rash. They also dared not lean against the window again, let alone tug at the chairs in front of them.
The three of them only became lively again after they got off the bus.
"Big brother...this is it..."
"There are so many people today..."
"Hurry up and line up to buy tickets and have fun."
Ye Yaodong is just here to be a tool today, but with Lin Xiuqing by his side, the two tools have company.
"When the children are older, it's more comfortable. You don't need to hold one, hold another's hand, or have another sit on your shoulders."
Lin Xiuqing laughed and said, "That's right. The key is that we have to squeeze with a bunch of people and it's exhausting. Now that they're older, we can let them squeeze by themselves and just follow behind and watch."
"It will be even more comfortable for them when they are a little older. We won't need to take them out anymore. We can just give them money and let them go out and play on their own."
"In a few more years, when your daughter is in junior high school, it should be about time, with the older one leading the younger one."
"In a few years, I'll be retired."
"Heh, you wish! Your son isn't married, your daughter isn't married, and you still expect to take care of your parents in their old age? Your father is already holding his great-grandchild, and he hasn't even taken care of himself yet."
"Don't discourage me, my dream is to retire at 40..."
The couple followed behind their child, strolling and chatting as they went, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
