Chapter 1646 Children's Happiness
"Do you need a car to do business?" Ye's mother asked skeptically. "What kind of business requires a car worth hundreds of thousands? Aren't motorcycles more impressive?"
"If you don't understand, don't keep arguing. I know what I'm doing."
"It's just too expensive. If it were a few thousand dollars, who would say anything? Take it or leave it. But this car costs over ten thousand dollars. I don't even know if the little house I built is worth as much as that car. That little car costs over ten thousand dollars? Damn it, I could buy several houses with that money."
"There's no comparison. I can afford it now. It's good to have a car to show off. It'll make me look good when I'm picking up or dropping off guests. It's also an opportunity to demonstrate my strength."
"What kind of guest is so precious that they need to be picked up in a car?"
"Should I pick up customers who can earn me millions in a car?"
"What?!!"
Ye's mother's eyes widened, but once she recovered, she immediately changed her tune.
"Yes, yes, yes, we absolutely have to pick him up. We definitely need to buy one. Such a big boss should be able to ride in a car."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes; he was a big boss now too.
"It would be good to let your dad learn to drive. Otherwise, he's not willing to go to sea anymore. He just wanders around the factory like an idle person, putting on airs. That's not good either."
“My dad even went to a literacy class and already knows several hundred characters. He knows just as many characters as you do now. He’s very ambitious.”
"What? That's terrible! He'll be showing off when he gets back! No way, I have to keep learning characters tomorrow and recognize more, otherwise I'll fall behind him."
Lin Xiuqing chuckled, "If Mother can read a newspaper from cover to cover, she's definitely better than Father."
"Of course, how could I possibly be outdone by him?"
Ye Yaodong looked around and asked, "Where are the younger ones? I haven't heard a sound from them."
"He ran out early this morning and hasn't come back yet. I don't know whose house he went to play at. We'll call him when it's time to eat, and he'll be back."
Tell your son that he's leaving the day after tomorrow.
"I told him this morning not to be so playful."
"I'm hungry, let's eat. The porridge I ate this morning was gone after I peed."
"Let's eat then. The food is ready. Just stir-fry two green vegetables. Go get your rice and let Mom stir-fry two green vegetables. I need to call the children."
Ye Yaodong nodded and went inside.
Lin Xiuqing shouted at the top of her lungs, putting her hands to her mouth like a megaphone, "Ye Chenghu, Ye Chengyang, dinner's ready..."
"Ye Xiaoxi, Pei Yu, dinner's ready..."
She called out as she went, but no one responded in the village. She asked a few questions, but no one saw her, so she went home angrily.
"Those brats just came back yesterday, and today they've vanished without a trace. We can't get them back no matter how much we call them. We don't know where they've gone."
Ye Yaodong gestured for her to sit down and eat, saying, "Then let's ignore them and eat our own food. They'll come back when they're hungry, and we'll give them a good beating then. School starts soon, so we need to teach them a lesson."
"The sun is so big, I wonder where it went."
"Never mind them, they'll come back when they're hungry."
While they were eating, people from nearby households began calling out to their children, and people from the village also came looking for them, shouting and cursing as they went.
Some people responded, while others did not.
After they had almost finished eating and were cleaning up the dishes, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang excitedly returned with a bucket of water.
"Mother, Mother..."
"Mom, come quick, come quick! We've caught so many sea cucumbers..."
Hearing the noise, Lin Xiuqing put down her chopsticks and came out. "She just got back and went straight to the beach. I called her for ages and she didn't respond at all. She doesn't even know to come back for dinner..."
Ye Chenghu interrupted her, "Mother, stop talking now. Look, look, we've caught so many. There are still more on the beach over there. This place is already full, we can't hold them all. Go dig over there quickly."
Lin Xiuqing, upon hearing that there was more, didn't waste any more time and asked, "Where is it?"
"It's around the reef on the west side, all the way there."
When Ye's mother ran out and saw this, she stopped eating and said, "There's so much, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, she picked up an empty bucket and headed towards the beach.
Beachcombing is one of the few pleasures that Ye Mu enjoys. Mainly because she has been doing it for decades and is used to it. Whenever she sees something she can find for free, she gets itchy and wants to rush over immediately. Free stuff is the best.
Lin Xiuqing also wanted to go, but she held back. "No wonder I didn't see you. You were blocked by the rocks. Where's my sister?"
The two were stunned. "We don't have a younger sister. We went with our friends. Her is too young and wouldn't play with us."
"Where did they go?"
Ye Chengyang said blankly, "I don't know. I saw them playing with Xiaohong, Ayue, Doudou, Xiaoqing, and Xiaolan this morning. They all went home, so I didn't pay attention to them."
"Those two brats are so good at running around, they don't even come back for meals. Let them starve to death."
Ye Chenghu said, "Mother, let's go catch some more. We'll come back and eat later, otherwise we'll be too late and they'll catch them all."
After the two finished speaking, they tried to run out again, but Lin Xiuqing grabbed their arms and said, "You're not allowed to go. Go inside and eat. I'll go."
"We're not hungry, there's strength in numbers..."
The two broke free and hurriedly ran towards the beach to catch up with Ye's mother. Lin Xiuqing couldn't stop them, and even though she wanted to tell them to eat first, she was going to get her food.
After Ye Yaodong finished eating and put down his chopsticks, he came out and took a look. "So much, more than 20 jin? Those two are quite lucky. In such a big beach, they still managed to find it in that corner."
"There looks like a lot. We can kill some later and dry them, but there won't be much left. We should dig up as much as we can while we can, and dry more when the weather is good. Dried food is also easier to preserve. Dried food is very expensive outside, and you might not even be able to buy it. Let's dry some for ourselves."
He nodded, glanced into the distance again, and then asked, "Hey? Where are the two girls?"
"I'm not with them, and I don't know where they've gone."
"He can run so fast..."
Just then, a commotion arose from afar, and a large group of children ran and shouted.
"Wow, Xiaoyu, you're amazing..."
"Oh my god...it's looking at me, how scary..."
Hearing the commotion, the couple looked towards the door. Pei Yu and Ye Xiaoxi were surrounded by a group of children of similar age, moving towards the door like stars around the moon.
Lin Xiuqing shouted, "Where have you all been? Come back right now!"
Upon hearing this, the two quickly started running.
They also saw the mud below the chests of the two men, especially their legs, which were covered in dried mud.
The scariest thing was that Pei Yu had a snake in her left hand and a snake in her right hand, with her hands gripping the snakes' heads and their bodies wrapped around her arms, and she was still grinning happily.
The couple stared wide-eyed, gasped, and their hearts trembled.
"snake……"
P.S.: I'm too tired. I had dinner with friends tonight and got back late. I'll finish this tomorrow.
