Chapter 1661 Three
Ye's father rushed back from home and had just stepped into the factory when he heard that Ajiang and Chenghe were going to buy a truck.
He was so surprised that he hurried to his grandsons' dormitory, not even bothering to look for Ye Yaodong.
"Are you two going to buy a big car?"
"Huh? It's spread all the way home?"
"You idiot, you just heard that when you came into the factory."
"That's quite a widely circulated rumor? How does the gatekeeper know everything?"
"If you can chat with anyone you meet, you'll know everything, right? Why do you suddenly want to buy a big truck? Can you even drive it? That's not a tractor, it's a large Liberation truck. I think you're so small, you'd have a hard time climbing on it."
Ye Chenghe jumped up in anger, "Nonsense! I'm still growing, I'll grow taller!"
Ye Chengjiang tightened his face, afraid that if he couldn't help but laugh, Ye Chenghe would become angry and beat him up.
"Well, there's a foothold to climb up. It doesn't matter how tall you are, as long as you can drive. I heard there are places that specialize in testing large truck drivers now. We can go to Shanghai and take some time to get a large truck driver's license. That should be fine."
"Now there are places to take the test? A few years ago, you still had to be trained by an experienced master for one or two years before they would sign off and give you the certificate."
"Is there nowhere to take the test? There are places to take the test for cars."
"The car belongs to the car."
"Who cares? As long as we can run it, that's fine. Anyway, I've never seen anyone check our credentials."
Lin Guangming nodded, "Yes, we've been operating for two years, and no one has ever checked our licenses."
Ye's father didn't say anything, thinking that if no one investigated, everything should be fine, as long as the meeting would be held.
"Why did you suddenly decide to buy a big truck? You're perfectly fine driving a tractor."
Ye Chengjiang pointed at Ye Chenghe, "He said he wanted to buy it and asked me, so I just bought it along with him."
"It just popped into my head. I had some money sitting there, and I thought I should use it. Otherwise, Xiuni keeps asking me how much money I have. My mother tells me not to use it yet, and to wait until she has her baby and we are on the same page."
Mr. Ye nodded, “Your mother is right. You two just got married. Who knows if she will bring everything back to her parents’ home? You don’t earn money easily either. It’s not too late to talk about it after the baby is born.”
"Does this mean we have to move everything to our parents' house? Aren't we living our own lives?"
"That's hard to say. There are women like that in the village. If you give her all your money at once, she'll think you make money so easily. She's never suffered with you before, and she's used to being poor. If she suddenly has too much money, she won't be able to handle it."
"Oh."
"Besides, she's young and inexperienced, so she's easily manipulated. You two are the same, the difference is that you earn all the money and do all the hard work, so you don't have to squander it."
Ye Chenghe nodded in agreement; he was the one who had to work so hard.
He works until several in the morning every day before going to sleep. He's reluctant to spend money lavishly. The only reason he bought a car is to earn more money. His third uncle also agreed, so he was willing to spend the money. Plus, Ah Jiang is there to accompany him back to square one.
"It would be good if the two of you switched to a bigger truck together, so you could earn more money, and it would be easier for Chenghe and his wife to talk to each other."
"Yes, just say that all the money I've earned in the last two years has been used to buy a car, and it's still not enough. I still owe some money that I'll have to pay back in a year or two. Anyway, as long as I have money to spend every month, that's fine."
"So when are you planning to go to Shanghai to look at cars? Chenghu is going to Shanghai to study in a couple of days, and I need to start practicing driving too."
“We’re waiting for Uncle San. We’ll go with him when he goes to Shanghai. Otherwise, we won’t understand anything, and you won’t understand even if we let you go.”
"Then I'll take Chenghu to Shanghai tomorrow."
Ye Chenghu protested, "Why do we have to go tomorrow? I don't want to. I'm not in a hurry. I can go the day after tomorrow. I want to stay here for a few more days."
What are you doing here?
"Let's play."
"You have classmates even in Shanghai?"
"We're not familiar with each other. Anyway, I'll go in a couple of days. If you want to go, you can go by yourself."
Having exhausted all other options, Ye's father decided to ask Dongzi for advice.
He came up here so he could get to Shanghai as soon as possible and practice driving. Otherwise, why would he come so early? He could have looked at more houses at home.
“If you want to learn to drive soon, then go to Shanghai sooner. Chenghu is so big, and he has nothing to do. He can take a boat here by himself. In a couple of days, let him take a boat to Shanghai by himself too. If I have time, I will go with him. If I don’t have time, let him go by himself.”
"Don't worry, I'll go by myself first and won't wait for him."
“There’s nothing to worry about. There’s a bus stop just a few steps from the dock. It’s not like he hasn’t taken the bus before; he’s been in Shanghai for a month now.”
"Okay, then I'll go to Shanghai tomorrow."
"I was wondering why you didn't stay home longer this time. Turns out you were eager to go learn to drive."
"Of course, the sooner you learn to drive, the sooner you'll get your license. Once you buy your car, it will be more convenient for the factory to pick up and drop off customers."
"Ok."
Ye's father had just arrived by boat after several days and didn't feel tired at all. He felt full of energy and didn't need to rest. After leaving Ye Yaodong's office, he went to wander around the factory with his hands behind his back.
Now we can still hear people calling him "General Manager Ye" more often, but later we'll hear people calling him "Master Ye" every day.
The next day, Ye's father took a boat to Shanghai to report for duty.
Ye Yaodong thought that Ye Chenghu was about to start school, and Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe were also planning to go to Shanghai to look at cars, so he simply arranged the itinerary and took them to look at cars while running errands.
Ye Chenghu was overjoyed to learn that his two brothers would be accompanying him on this trip back to Shanghai.
"Stay a few more days, and after I finish school, I can take you to see my school. My school is huge, several times bigger than our old school..."
"Don't go!"
"I finally got out of school, I'm not going."
Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe each said one sentence, resolutely refusing.
"Why don't you go? That's a high school. None of you have even been to high school yet. You can go and see it..."
"What's so interesting about this? I don't care at all."
“That’s right, we’re going to look at cars,” Ye Chenghe said, turning to Ye Yaodong. “Third Uncle, didn’t you want to buy a car for my grandpa? Can we go look at cars on our way?”
"That's fine too. I'll take you to see the car after I've finished my business."
"Ah...can you wait for me? I also want to go look at the car," Ye Chenghu wailed.
"Can't!"
Before Ye Yaodong could speak, Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe gave their smug answers.
He originally wanted to show off his high school, but instead of showing off, he was outmaneuvered.
High schools don't have cars that are as nice to look at.
Ye Chengjiang put his arm around Ye Chenghe's shoulder and raised his eyebrows smugly, "You just focus on your studies at school, we'll take care of watching the car."
Ye Chenghe chimed in, "That's right, little brats should just focus on their studies and stay at school. Don't try to follow everything they do!"
"father……"
"Just focus on your class during class time. Taking leave is out of the question. There will be plenty of opportunities to see the car later. You'll see it when they buy it."
"That's different. Once you buy it, you can only see the one they bought. But you can see a whole bunch at the dealership! How can that compare?"
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it, you have to go to class."
Ye Chengjiang chuckled and said, "You're going to be a college student in the future, so you have to study hard. Our big family's future depends on you!"
"A future college student! Hahaha..." Ye Chenghe mocked him without any restraint.
Ye Chenghu's face turned red with embarrassment, and his scalp tingled. "Shut up! Who's going to take the college entrance exam? Don't call me that!"
"We'll call them, the future college students! Hahaha~"
"I'll fight with you..."
Ye Chenghe quickly hid behind Ye Chengjiang, "College student~"
"Shut up!"
"College student ~ college student ~"
"Ahhh..." Ye Chenghu started bouncing around...
Ye Yaodong grabbed him, "Stop fooling around, pack your things, we're leaving for Shanghai tomorrow morning."
"Dad, they've gone too far. Don't take them with you."
"College students are so stingy~" Ye Chenghe continued to stir up envy.
"Ah ah ah..."
Ye Yaodong could barely hold onto him anymore, speechless as he looked at the three childish people.
"How old are you all? Why are you still making such a fuss?"
Ye Chenghe chuckled, "Chenghu said just a few days ago that we're all teenagers."
"Bullshit! You said you're married and an adult, how childish are you?"
"Not naive! You're the most educated person in our family. If you don't go to university, who will? If you don't go to university, who will? Right?"
He even asked Ye Chengjiang a question in return for his last sentence.
Ye Chengjiang chuckled and chimed in, "That's right, you're the hope of our family. In three years you'll be a college student!"
"You son of a bitch..."
Ye Yaodong immediately let go, "Fine, you guys fight, fight to the death, nobody's going tomorrow."
Ye Chenghe and Ye Chengjiang separated and climbed up to the upper bunks on either side as quickly as monkeys, not giving Ye Chenghu a chance to get close.
"Hehe, come on, come on..."
Ye Chenghe also teased him with a pillow, "Come on, come on..."
Ye Yaodong watched speechlessly as Ye Chenghu jumped around, while the other two teased him with pillows, as if they were fishing.
"childish."
He left after saying that, turning around and walking out, too lazy to care about their commotion.
How old are you? You're almost a father, and you're still so childish.
The noise behind me continued unabated...
The next morning, Ye Yaodong led three yawning men to the dock.
After boarding the ship, the three of them sat on the ground in a row, their heads touching shoulders, one after another, with their eyes closed.
Ye Yaodong's brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly. "How late did you guys go to bed last night?"
Ye Chenghe, with one eye open and the other closed, pointed at Ye Chenghu and said, "Ask this bastard!"
His brows furrowed even more. If Ye Chenghu was a bastard, then what was he?
Ye Chenghu kicked Ye Chenghe, "You're the fucking bastard."
"You insidious bastard..."
"You guys went thieving last night? You still can't open your eyes. I was thinking of letting you sleep a little longer, so I chose to leave at 8 o'clock."
You should know that he usually takes the 6 o'clock ferry to Shanghai.
"Ye Chenghu is the real scoundrel!" Ye Chenghe said angrily, still holding a grudge.
Ye Chengjiang said with his eyes closed, "We didn't get back until 2 a.m. after delivering the goods. That bastard Chenghu put a basin of water on the door to get revenge on us."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
"...Then we came back in the middle of the night. It was pitch black, and we didn't see anything. Ye Chenghe walked in front, and I walked behind. We saw that the door was unlocked, so we just pushed it open and went in."
Ye Chenghe got angry just thinking about it, so he sat up straight and stopped closing his eyes.
"That bucket of water was poured directly over me from head to toe, damn it, you son of a bitch..."
"I was right next to Chenghe, and I got half wet too..."
The two glared angrily at Ye Chenghu and cursed him.
Ye Chenghu moved his buttocks to the side and sat down right next to Ye Yaodong.
After feeling a little safer, he said, "Who told you to tease me during the day and keep mocking me! Then you went to work and left without a word. Of course I have to get revenge."
Ye Chenghe: "Damn it, it's the middle of the night, and I had to wash my hair."
Ye Chenghu: "You guys ganged up on me afterwards!"
Ye Chengjiang: "You deserve to be beaten to death!"
Ye Chenghe: "Third Uncle, that bastard even went to sleep on the top bunk so we couldn't hit him..."
Ye Chengjiang: "Even if we have to crawl, we'll crawl up and drag him down to beat him!"
The three of them chatted back and forth, and their bickering instantly energized them. If they weren't on a boat, they would have been fighting again.
Ye Yaodong understood why the three of them didn't seem to be asleep.
They weren't asleep; they were fighting all night.
"You're all just bored and have nothing better to do. Ye Chenghu, you're not allowed to come back unless you have to. Just stay in Shanghai and study."
Ye Chenghe arrogantly raised his chin at him and said, "Did you hear me? You'd better stay in Shanghai and study hard. Get into a university and come back to me. If you don't, I'll break your legs."
Ye Yaodong kicked him, and he finished saying all his lines. So what did he say?
“You better behave yourself. Once we get to Shanghai, I’ll call your wife and have her come up and keep an eye on you. You’re too free now that your wife’s not here, and she wants to stay here anyway.”
"And you, Ye Chengjiang..."
Ye Chengjiang straightened his back, feeling that he had no weaknesses or vulnerabilities.
Sure enough, women only influence him when it comes to studying!
Ye Yaodong paused, unsure of what to say.
"Oh, you better behave yourself, or don't buy the car. I'll send you to Shanghai to supervise the construction and switch Wang Jiale back. He's been with Chen Baoguo for half a year now."
"Hehe, I didn't get paid to go to work..."
"That's easy. We don't need your truck for transporting goods anymore. If you don't want to starve, you'll have to work for me and get paid."
Ye Chengjiang immediately became obedient.
"Third Uncle, I'm being honest. I'll listen to whatever you say. Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it!"
"I'll make you eat shit!" Ye Chenghu shouted impatiently.
Ye Yaodong raised his hand, and he shrank his neck.
"You all better behave yourselves."
"understood."
"I hate you all. You should be sent to work so I won't have to see you..."
The three of them then kept quiet and didn't dare to utter a sound.
But after only a few minutes, they got bored and started wandering around the boat, and soon they were laughing and playing together again.
After disembarking, the three of them put their arms around each other's shoulders like brothers.
"Dad, it's only afternoon. Why don't we go look at cars now? Otherwise, I have to go to school tomorrow..."
"Where can I go?"
"I'm asking you, didn't you take us there?"
"Do you think I was born knowing where to go? Do I need to spend time asking around?" Ye Yaodong glanced at him, then left them and walked ahead.
"Then you can just make a phone call, right?"
"Don't bother me, I have my own ideas. Have you finished your homework during these few days of vacation?"
Ye Chenghu kept his mouth shut. He spent all his time with those guys, playing cards or making a ruckus. They were so excited, how could he have time to do his homework?
At most, I would do it for a short while while they were at work, but only for a short time before my mind wandered off to the farthest reaches of the sky.
I still have homework to finish, and I'm planning to cram at the last minute tonight, or copy it when I go to school tomorrow.
Ye Yaodong could tell from his demeanor that he hadn't finished his homework.
He tapped him a few times with his index finger, "Go back and do your homework, don't go anywhere else."
Ye Chengjiang immediately released his hand from Ye Chenghu's shoulder and waved at him twice.
Now he's not on their side anymore; they're the ones who want to see the big and small cars.
"That's outrageous!"
The two of them didn't argue back, and walked arm in arm together, leaving him behind.
Ye Chenghu, fuming, could only hurry to catch up.
Then, still unwilling to give up, he pressed on, "Dad, when are you planning to go look at cars?"
"do not know."
"Then I'll live with you. Can I come to see you after school?"
Do you know where we are?
"Leave a note when you leave."
"Just focus on your studies, why make such a fuss?"
"I also want to see the big and small cars..."
"You're so annoying. Fine, let's go again then. I'll go take care of some things first. You two can wander around Shanghai on your own, or you can go and ask around or go see for yourselves."
Ye Chenghu was overjoyed; now he believed he was his biological son.
The other two exchanged a glance and had no objections.
Ye Chengjiang: "That's fine too. Shall we take a look around first? Uncle, what business do you need to take care of? Or should we come with you?"
Ye Chenghe: "Yes, we can follow you. If you need to do anything, we can come and help."
"No need for help. If you want to come along, that's fine too. Just consider it as an opportunity to broaden your horizons."
Ye Chengjiang: "Great, then following you is better than us running around aimlessly on our own."
Ye Chenghu suddenly lost interest in reading again, feeling that he had missed out on so much through studying...
Ye Yaodong turned to look at him, "Do you want to live in Pudong, or live with us in a villa?"
"I want to live with you."
"Then let's get in the car together."
"Oh, I don't even know where my grandfather lives?"
"He should live in a Western-style house; he won't force himself to endure hardship."
Ye Chengjiang asked excitedly, "I wonder how my grandfather is doing with his driving lessons? Has he already learned to drive?"
"Otherwise, if we go to look at cars in a couple of days, we can bring my grandpa along. When we go, can he sit in one and try it out?" Ye Chenghe said enthusiastically.
"I don't think so, right?"
Ye Yaodong was also unsure whether there was a test drive available. He thought there probably wasn't; at most, one could sit inside and experience it.
"It's worth taking a look."
"You should be able to sit inside and experience it."
Ye Chengjiang: "My grandpa must be so excited! He'll be the first person in the whole factory to know how to drive a car! He'll be the only one who can drive one!"
"He's the only one in the whole village who knows how to drive! He's amazing!"
