Chapter 204: Taking on the Duty (Part 2)

Li Ye was not lying, because students who have made it overseas in this era basically have strong self-confidence and sense of responsibility, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are fully qualified to take on the responsibility.

But after he finished speaking, everyone in the car looked at him strangely, and then there was deathly silence.

There are so many Westerners in the car! Are you pointing at the monk and calling him a bald donkey?

However, the silence only lasted for a few seconds before it was broken by a lone applause.

“Pah pah pah pah~”

Li Ye turned his head in surprise and found that it was Liu Muhan.

She even took off her gloves to make her applause louder.

"Mu Han, don't..."

Some students from Peking University anxiously tried to stop Liu Muhan.

But Liu Muhan turned a deaf ear to it and, under everyone's gaze, stared at Li Ye and continued to applaud.

Lu Jingyao was also a little anxious and wanted to pull Liu Muhan to stop her reckless behavior.

But then, more applause suddenly rang out, and what was strange was that most of the applause came from "friends" with different colored hair.

This made the man in the suit feel even more uncomfortable, and Naoto Nakamura was also embarrassed and socially dead.

"You."

The man in the suit pointed at Li Ye and was about to say something when a group of people suddenly came up from behind. Many of them were wearing Zhongshan suits, and it was obvious that they came from a domestic flight.

Li Ye suddenly stood up, scaring the man in the suit and Naoto Nakamura so much that they took a step back.

It turned out that among the passengers who had just boarded, there was a young woman holding a child, and the child was coughing constantly.

As a five-good boy who grew up under the red flag, Li Ye must have the moral qualities of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

"Big sister, come sit here with me!"

"Ah? No need! No no, just sit down, little brother."

The young woman was still a little embarrassed, but Li Ye let her out directly.

"Don't get me wrong, sis. I was actually giving up my seat for the child. Is he sick?"

"It's just a little cough, nothing serious."

Although it was not a big deal, the woman still sat in Li Ye's seat. She was holding the child in both hands and could not stand steadily in the carriage. It was really inconvenient and unsafe.

It’s okay if you fall, but if you fall your child, won’t you cry to death?

After what Li Ye did, the man in the suit was speechless.

It’s not that Li Ye doesn’t have love, but his love is only for those who really need help. From what moral high ground are you standing to accuse him?

Be careful or someone will spit in your face.

The bus finally started, but it was moving very slowly because the road was covered with thick snow.

The tires of the bus are tied with anti-skid chains, which make a continuous "clattering" sound when running, which also serves as a disguised reminder to the passengers in the car that today's road conditions are rather special. Everyone should not complain. It is good enough that someone provides you with overtime service.

Li Ye was standing next to Naoto Nakamura, swaying with the swaying of the bus.

Seeing his classmate's face gloomy, Li Ye suddenly smiled and asked, "Nakamura, what's the matter with the scar on your face? Did you fight with someone during the Spring Festival holiday?"

Naoto Nakamura turned his neck mechanically and looked at Li Ye with his dead fish-like eyes. After a few seconds, he turned his neck back like a robot and ignored Li Ye.

But Li Ye had already caught Naoto Nakamura's abnormal emotions.

Fear actually appeared in his eyes, followed by deep hatred.

"Nakamura, we, the students of the Flower Growers' School, have very strict self-discipline. We absolutely do not allow random fights. If such a bad situation occurs, we need to explain it to the school teachers."

Naoto Nakamura turned his head suddenly, and his stiff neck made a "cracking" sound.

Jin Peng and Lu Jingyao in the car also looked at Li Ye in shock.

[How dare you say such a thing? ]

Li Ye had fought with others so many times since he was a child that even a first grader couldn't count him. Yet he still says that he is extremely strict with himself?

Are you strict only with others?

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li. I fell and got hurt accidentally."

“Oh~~”

Li Ye sighed meaningfully, and then said, "That may be my misunderstanding. When I saw the marks on your face just now, I thought you were chopped by a bamboo sword! It seems that you people in Juhua like playing with bamboo swords very much."

“.”

Naoto Nakamura's zombie-like face finally showed some expression, just like a pool of colorful paint splashed onto white paper, showing anger, shame, and regret. It was extremely exciting.

[Did I guess it right? ]

Li Ye turned his head and looked straight ahead, as if nothing had happened, but he felt an unstoppable sense of comfort in his heart.

He had just seen the scars on Naoto Nakamura's face and knew from experience that they were caused by a blunt object. Combined with the set of antique Ming Dynasty teapots from the old Guan family in Kitanijo, he made a tentative guess and unexpectedly guessed the truth.

Naoto Nakamura looked at Li Ye and spoke clearly, "We in Chrysanthemum really like playing with bamboo swords. If there is a chance in the future, I will let Li Ye see it for himself."

Li Ye smiled contemptuously and said, "I'm happy to accompany you, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, you'll get scared."

“.”

Naoto Nakamura was stunned for a moment, not understanding where Li Ye got his confidence from.

But then he smiled faintly, a sinister smile.

[The shame I suffered from you Zhina people will be washed away starting with you, Li Ye. ]

This time when Naoto Nakamura went home for the New Year, his experience was like a roller coaster.

Because the protection environment for cultural relics was not strict enough at that time, Naoto Nakamura brought many antiques back to Chrysanthemum and gave them to his grandfather Kenshou Nakamura as Spring Festival gifts.

Kenshou Nakamura was very happy and gave high praise to Naoto Nakamura at the family dinner on New Year's Eve. Even Naoto Nakamura's father was proud of it and promised to increase his support for him next year.

Afterwards, this set of Ming Dynasty colorful flower and bird pots was presented by Nakamura Kenshou to an important figure.

This great man is a noble of the Chrysanthemum Kingdom. His family history has exceeded a thousand years, and he is also the lord that the Nakamura family has been loyal to for hundreds of years.

The Chrysanthemum Kingdom appears to be a civilized society on the surface, but in reality it is still a feudal society at heart. Their several political parties, in fact, are just like the Kansai faction and the shogunate of the past, with a strong sense of struggle for hegemony among the princes.

In a country like this, without the support of the nobility, lower-level merchants have almost no chance of growing and developing.

The Nakamura family's development to where it is today is inseparable from the cultivation and help of this great man, so if there are some new and interesting things, it is only natural to give them to please the other party.

As a result, it naturally overturned.

Just like what Lao Song said, Hua Erhan’s ability can only make the fake look real, but fake is not real after all.

As a family with thousands of years of inheritance, they still have some vision and immediately spotted the fake set of colorful flower and bird pots.

Nakamura Kenshou was called over and scolded in front of a group of retainers. He was humiliated.

If he hadn't brought several antiques, all of which were authentic, he would have been so ashamed that he would have almost committed cesarean section.

After returning home, the old man pulled out a bamboo sword and beat Naoto Nakamura's father all over the face without any bruises.

Then, Naoto Nakamura was hit on the head and face by his father with a bamboo sword without any punishment.

But Naoto Nakamura's father was not a good cook and accidentally hit Naoto Nakamura on the forehead.

So what Li Ye saw was just the tip of the iceberg. If Naoto Nakamura's clothes were lifted up, it would be truly horrific!

The airport buses in the 1980s did not have as many routes as they do later, and they certainly would not go to Zhongguancun, which is still a vegetable field now!

But the airport bus hadn't reached its destination yet! Jin Peng said to Li Ye, "Xiao Ye, the car behind seems to be ours."

Li Ye squeezed to the window, wiped the moisture off the glass and took a look. It was indeed his own Beijing 130.

After the bus stopped, Li Ye, Jin Peng and Hao Jian got off, and Wang Jianqiang jumped out from the passenger seat, running over shouting excitedly, followed by several young men.

"Brother, you guys are finally here. We've been following several cars and were just afraid we'd get lost."

"Why are you waiting for us in this weather? Can't we just find a place to stay for the night later?"

"How can that be possible?" Wang Jianqiang said stubbornly, "If I can't even do this, what else can I do?"

Several young men swiftly took the luggage from Li Ye and the other two, put it on the quilt in the carriage, wrapped it up carefully, and then sat in the carriage and refused to get out.

"What are you doing up there? Get into the cab quickly, and we'll get there if we squeeze in."

"No, no, we have blankets up there, it's not cold."

Li Ye called out to them several times, but the young people refused to stop, so he had no choice but to give up.

A maximum of six people can sit in the two rows of cabs. There are five people in total, including Li Ye, Jin Peng, Hao Jian, Wang Jianqiang and the driver, so there is really not enough space.

After entering the cab, Li Ye said to Jin Peng: "You have to find a way to get a few more cars this year.

We pay so much tax, and we should always report any difficulties to the higher authorities. We must not allow this situation to happen again. It is not appropriate for us to sit in the car and let others sit outside. "

Jin Peng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely accomplish this this year. I will never let this happen again. If I can squeeze a hole in my clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars, I can buy two wheels."

Wang Jianqiang, who was in a daze, looked at the clothes on Jin Peng and his eyes became hot.

He didn't pay attention to his fashion sense before, but now who made him fall in love with a girl from Beijing?

Li Ye couldn't help but curse: "Can you stop showing off? Will you die if you don't show off?"

“Hahahaha~”

Jin Peng burst into laughter.

He did it on purpose, he definitely did it on purpose. Anyway, showing off between brothers will not make them enemies. Why not just tease and have some fun?

The Beijing 130 was driving briskly on the streets after the snow, and Li Ye felt the driver's extraordinary skills.

"Hey, haven't you seen this driver before?"

"This is Wang Qiangdong, the driver I just found for you," Wang Jianqiang said, "He used to be an engineer in the army, and he has great driving skills. I let him drive today because it's snowing."

"Engineers! Not bad, not bad."

When talking about excellent drivers in the army, many people may first think of the motor vehicle soldiers on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway.

Indeed, the motor vehicle soldiers on the Sichuan-Tibet Line have developed excellent driving skills because they carry high-load transportation tasks.

But in fact, in terms of overall level, the transport soldiers of the engineering corps are generally more technically skilled than the soldiers of ordinary transport companies.

Because they have endless work to do, building roads here and bridges there, it never ends.

Others may only drive 30,000 kilometers in three years of military service, but they may drive 30,000 kilometers in just one year. Moreover, the driving surface of engineers is not asphalt or concrete roads, so the training effect can be imagined.

Li Ye had come into contact with an old engineer in his previous life.

During the self-defense counterattack, their troops had nothing to do, but the transportation environment at the front was too harsh, so an emergency order was issued, and drivers were drawn from the engineering corps to provide reinforcements.

As a result, the old soldier was honorably selected because of his good skills. After he came back, he boasted that their engineering vehicle soldiers had the best skills.

It was almost ten o'clock when Beijing Bus 130 finally arrived at Zaojun Temple and stopped steadily in front of the gate of the courtyard.

Before Li Ye got out of the car, he smelled the aroma of a big pot of whole lamb.

Wang Jianqiang said: "Old Song saw that it was snowing today, and then he muttered that you would be back very late.

It might be bad to eat outside, so I might as well eat at home, so I just stewed half a lamb myself. This old guy’s foul mouth is really accurate.”

"Deputy Manager Wang, after all, we are all from the same pot, so you shouldn't talk about me behind my back!"

When Old Song heard the sound of the car, he went out to greet him. He happened to hear what Wang Jianqiang said, so he smiled and teased him.

"Hmph~"

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, snorted, and didn't say a word to Lao Song.

He had long understood that if he argued with this old guy, he would be using his own weakness to attack his strength. He might as well just ignore him and he would be helpless no matter how clever his tongue was.

After entering the courtyard, Li Ye saw a big pot bubbling with steam, and busying around the pot were Jiang Xiaoyan and his mother Chen Jinhua.

Li Ye laughed and said, "Old Song has captured you guys to do his job!"

Jiang Xiaoyan immediately said, "No, no, we are learning the cooking skills from Uncle Song! Uncle Song's whole lamb is delicious.

We tried to sell it on Xiushui Street a few days ago, and it was sold out in two hours.”

Li Ye was surprised and asked, "So you are not going to open a noodle shop and sell whole lamb instead?"

Jiang Xiaoyan said: "No, we do both, with a combination of high and low to meet the multi-faceted needs of our customers."

Li Ye blinked and asked, "Who taught you this?"

Jiang Xiaoyan pointed at Wang Jianqiang and said, "What Qiangzi told me makes a lot of sense!"

. . . . . . .

After Li Ye got home, everyone started eating together.

Three large pots of whole lamb were placed on three small tables, and everyone divided into three groups to eat while it was hot.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang eating so savory, Li Ye asked in a low voice, "Qiangzi, have you come to terms with it?"

Wang Jianqiang asked blankly, "What did you think of?"

Li Ye asked in surprise: "When I left Qingshui County, you didn't see me off. I heard that you didn't talk to anyone for several days!"

Because of what happened on New Year's Day, Wang Jianqiang was heartbroken by his family, so he seemed to have not recovered until Li Ye left.

But looking at him today, he seems to be fine!

"Brother, you are wrong. I was wrong too. After the first day of the new year, I was really upset. But guess what happened?"

Wang Jianqiang put down his bowl and chopsticks, smiled and said: "My parents, my brother, and my sister-in-law suddenly became nicer to me, even better than they were to my eldest brother's nephew."

Seeing that Li Ye didn't believe him, Wang Jianqiang reached out and unbuttoned his coat, revealing a brand new cotton jacket.

"Brother, look, this is a new jacket my mother made for me. It's been more than ten years, and I have forgotten when I wore a new cotton-padded jacket."

"I've figured it out, brother. Now I'm the backbone of the family. Everyone has to revolve around me. If they don't revolve around me, it won't work. This is called..."

Wang Jianqiang rubbed his head and thought for a long time before he slapped his thigh and said, "This is called taking on the responsibility, yes, it is taking on the responsibility!"

Li Ye: “.”

At this time, Jiang Xiaoyan, who was sitting at another table nearby, also said, "Yes, we must take the lead!"

Her situation is actually similar to Wang Jianqiang's, because she will also be the pillar of the Jiang family in the future.

I am the boss and I won’t give in to anyone.

Thanks to book friend "Lao Suan Nai" for the reward of 1,000 coins, thanks to book friend 33021208824673 for the reward of 500 coins, and thanks to both big guys for their generosity.
