Chapter 1683 Ye Chengjiang's Blind Date
Ye's family is now considered prominent figures in the village. With those who went out to make money now returning, their house is even more lively. As they drove back to their hometown, a string of tails followed behind them.
By the time they arrived at the door, a group of enthusiastic neighbors had already gathered around. Everyone rolled up their sleeves to lend a hand and help them move the items.
Mr. Ye didn't even have a chance to lift it himself; he could only direct them to move it and carry it into the house. Mrs. Ye also followed along, directing where to put it.
Many hands make light work. Several people can lift one piece, and there's no chance to lift it multiple times. Everyone lends a hand, and in just a few minutes, all the furniture is inside and put away.
At the same time, everyone was amazed and full of envy.
“You’ve even tiled the floor in your house! This is unacceptable! It’s so clean we don’t even dare to step inside.”
"Haha, we hesitated for a moment when we were moving the furniture. We quickly took off our shoes at the door. With such a clean house, no one dared to come in."
"This house is spacious and bright, with such a large window. It makes the room feel bright and airy. It's a great house!"
"The big color TV you just carried is much bigger than the ones we usually buy. It must have cost a thousand or two thousand yuan, right?"
"Let alone the color TV, I estimate that sofa set alone must cost several thousand. It's so beautiful and soft, much more comfortable to sit on than our wooden stools. It looks comfortable and is even more comfortable to sleep on than a bed."
“Your three sons are so filial; they always pick out the best things for you to cook and buy.”
"The beds they bought are nice too, all Simmons mattresses. There are three or four of them, they're definitely more comfortable to sleep on than our four-poster beds..."
"Your house is beautiful; it can be passed down from generation to generation. It's no less impressive than the big houses in TV dramas."
"The staircase is impressive, with handrails. My newly built house is nothing compared to yours; it's like a dilapidated house. It's just a wooden staircase with only steps, no handrails at all. It's much safer for the elderly to go up and down here, and the staircase is wide."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you guys are so lucky. You'll be able to live in such a big house soon. We don't even know if we'll ever have the chance to build such a big house in our lifetime."
Mr. and Mrs. Ye smiled broadly and responded modestly.
The two brothers, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, also looked radiant; their filial piety towards their parents had brought them honor.
The Ye brothers, Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe, were also proud, and their cronies from the village took the opportunity to come in and have a look.
Although Ye's mother felt a little sorry that so many people were walking around the house, worried that they might bump into something or make it dirty, she still smiled and invited everyone to sit down for a while.
"This new house has nothing at all, no tea, no melon seeds or snacks. We'll have to wait until we move to the next place and then we'll treat everyone to a proper meal and have a good time."
"It's alright, it's alright, we'll just take a look around and leave in a bit."
"I can only catch a glimpse of it when they're moving things around. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to build a house this big in my lifetime."
“Of course we can afford to build it. Families with many children can chip in and it will be complete. My family has three sons, so we chipped in.”
“Your three sons are nothing compared to mine… One of your sons is worth more than a whole brood of other people’s sons, not to mention your third one is something else…”
After everyone had looked around the house and enjoyed the festivities, Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe led their friends out first, and the others followed suit.
These two brothers each have a large group of playmates, all of whom they've known since childhood and are basically the center of their own circles.
Since they've had toys and drawing books that others don't have since they were little, and now their earning power is outstanding, far surpassing that of their peers, everyone naturally revolves around them.
After returning to the village, they were like fish in water, always coming and going in large groups, calling out to friends and family. They would go out at dawn and not return until dark.
Ye Chengjiang is fine; he's a bachelor, and his mother doesn't care about him. He's happy to be free and just runs out.
Ye Chenghe was different. If his wife didn't see him for a day, she would keep asking him questions. He could only come back to report at mealtimes and couldn't go out after dinner.
Or you can only invite friends over to your home to play cards, right under your nose, so they won't read them.
Ye Chengjiang was even less willing to get married after seeing this, and strongly resisted it, spending every day trying to outwit his mother.
"Don't go out today. Come with me to your grandma's house later. We've been back for so many days and haven't seen you at home. You even stayed in the city for two days. I've been letting you stay home for a little while each day, and you're already running off..."
Ye Chengjiang was eating breakfast, already wondering about his grandmother's house.
Yesterday he said his aunt was coming over at noon and asked him to come home early for lunch. He asked a friend to come and check, and when they found his aunt with a strange girl, he didn't come back.
When I came back yesterday afternoon, I saw his two younger sisters talking and chatting with a girl at the door. I initially thought she was a friend of his sisters, but it turned out she was a friend of his aunt's daughter-in-law...
When he heard his aunt's introduction, his scalp tingled, he clutched his stomach and said he needed to poop, and ran away immediately.
And the day before yesterday, his mother sent his two younger sisters to find him and ask him to come home for dinner, saying that his classmates, a large group of men and women, were looking for him.
Back then, he was still very naive and didn't know how treacherous people could be. He felt that he hadn't seen so many classmates for a long time, so he excitedly ran back.
He greeted the classmates happily, but to his surprise, both female classmates glanced at him shyly. The male classmates winked and tried to set them up the whole time.
After the group parted ways, his mother asked him to take the female classmate home, saying it wasn't safe for girls to walk alone at night. He wanted to say that there were still a few boys, but the boys cleverly said they would go first.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and escort each girl home.
When he came back, his mother asked him with a beaming smile if there was anyone he liked. They'd been classmates for years, so they should know each other quite well…
He went straight upstairs, not even glancing at his mother, and slammed the door shut.
Then, he became wary of his mother calling him.
Ye Ersao looked at Chen Xiuni's belly, which she couldn't hide, and envied her every day. Ye Dasao was also happy every day, smiling from ear to ear. Everyone who saw her praised her for becoming a grandmother at such a young age.
This made Sister-in-law Ye also want to have a grandson.
When he's not home, there's nothing I can do about him, but now that he's back, he's right under my nose, and I have to arrange something every day.
Ye Chengjiang's alarm bells rang loudly, "Why are you going to Grandma's house?"
"You've been back for so many days, but you haven't visited your grandma's house yet. Shouldn't you buy some things and go see her?"
"It's fine to visit your maternal grandmother, but don't cause any trouble. Don't bring any female classmates, wives, friends, sisters, or relatives."
"Chenghe is about to become a father, and you've never even held a girl's hand. Look at you, so useless. You're always hiding and hanging out with your bunch of scoundrels. Why don't you go out and chat with some pretty girls? Why do you have to hang out with those guys?"
"No, those girls are such a pain. No way! I can just joke around with my friends, but can I joke around with girls like that?"
"What's wrong with that? You and your sister usually get along quite well at home, don't you?"
“That little sister is a little sister, and the other girls are other girls. I get a headache just looking at them. I don’t want them. They’re always hanging around together, chattering away.”
"You bunch of single guys get together and chatter away, don't you? You see a girl walk by and you have to look her up and down and give your opinion."
Ye Chengjiang's eyes widened. "No way, that's them. I wouldn't do that."
"You are one of them too."
"You go ahead, I'll go mine. I'll buy some things later and go see Grandma. I'm not going with you."
Ye Ersao's anger flared up, "Is it so hard for you to find a partner?"
"It's difficult, you'll have to be the one to find it."
"You're going to drive me crazy!"
"Mom, if you envy your aunt holding her grandson and are bored, then you and Dad should have another one. That way you'll have someone to hold, you won't be bored, and you won't have to keep an eye on me."
Sister-in-law Ye couldn't resist grabbing a broom.
Ye Chengjiang put down his chopsticks and ran away quickly.
"You little brat, don't try to run away. What are you talking about? I'm already this old..."
“What age are you? You’re 40 and still in your prime. You and my dad could have two or three more children, no problem…” Ye Chengjiang shouted as he ran.
Lin Xiuqing was in the next courtyard. She didn't hear the first part of what was said, but she heard the last sentence clearly and couldn't help but chuckle.
When Ye Yaodong returned, she vividly recounted the chaotic events that had unfolded next door in the past few days, with the mother and son engaging in a battle of wits.
Since the two families lived close by, they could hear most of what was happening. If they didn't know, Ye Ersao would complain to her two sisters-in-law afterwards and scold her son. That way, they would naturally know what Ye Chengjiang had done.
Ye Yaodong had just returned and sat down when Lin Xiuqing began telling him about recent events.
“Yesterday morning I went to his maternal grandmother’s house, and his aunt came over in the afternoon. She said that the whole family had been talking about how to introduce him to potential partners, and he even asked his aunt to have two more children so that she wouldn’t be so busy.”
Ye Yaodong couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
“My second sister-in-law didn’t see him yesterday, and he didn’t come back to sleep either. She said he went to sleep at a friend’s house. I’m so angry.”
"Why force him to find a partner? Since he hasn't figured it out yet, let him wait a little longer. It's not like he'll have trouble finding one."
"I guess some people are getting restless seeing that both of their sister-in-law's sons are married and both of their daughters-in-law are pregnant and about to have two grandchildren."
"That's how you women are. You compare your husbands, then your sons, and then your grandsons."
"When people get together, what else do they talk about besides their husbands and sons?"
Ye Yaodong changed the subject, not wanting to bring up that again, "Has all the furniture been bought for my dad's house? Has it all been moved in?"
"Alright, the items that were in stock a few days ago have been delivered and moved in. They look quite presentable. I heard that my eldest and second eldest brothers spent twenty or thirty thousand yuan, and they even bought sofas for several thousand yuan each."
"That's not many, there are already seven or eight rooms."
"Well, it's getting late now, you can go check it out yourself tomorrow."
