Chapter 634 Let’s Build a Bigger One

Although Fu Yiru and Wen Leyu vowed to have a good time in New York, when the two girls listed the itinerary the next day, there were only two attractions on the list: Columbia University and the Statue of Liberty. They didn't even plan to visit Chinatown.

Li Ye asked in confusion: "Are we only going to these two places?"

Wen Leyu nodded slightly and smiled at Li Ye gently.

But her younger sister Fu Yiruo pouted and said, "My sister-in-law said that you are the backbone of the family, and your work is the most important. We who have no contribution can't hold you back.

I just don’t understand, sister-in-law, don’t we women hold up half the sky?”

Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu in surprise.

Wen Leyu stuck out her tongue, then said to Fu Yiruo in a chastised tone, "Go away, you're the only one who talks too much. How about your brother and I go to San Francisco first and let you have fun here to your heart's content?"

Fu Yiruo jumped up three feet high: "Don't even think about it, don't even think about leaving me. I only have a thousand or eight hundred pocket money in my bag. If you leave, I will be homeless on the streets. I thought I could go to Fifth Avenue to buy clothes."

Wen Leyu's eyes widened: "You still want to buy clothes? You have enough clothes to open a second-hand clothing store. Well, no wonder you insisted on instigating me to go to Fifth Avenue yesterday. I knew something was wrong."

“.”

Li Ye looked at the two girls chattering and playing around, and suddenly felt sad.

What does Wen Leyu mean by this?

What do you think she meant by this?

Wen Leyu is just accommodating himself!

Li Ye did have some important business to go to Silicon Valley, but which girl who comes to Lighthouse for the first time would only think about her boyfriend's business and not care about her own travel experience?

Shouldn't she go to Fifth Avenue and buy a bunch of luxury goods?

Shouldn't she go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, take a photo and check in?

Shouldn't she go to the Empire State Building, where King Kong and Belle watch the sunrise?

Wen Leyu didn’t have any of that. She just chose to go to her favorite university and take a look at the Statue of Liberty, the symbol of lighthouse.

Where can you find such a young wife?

If you don't love a young wife like this, who will?

"Okay, now that you've chosen your favorite attractions, I'm going to tell you about the places I want to see!"

Li Ye sat down straight, looking at the big map of New York City and starting to make changes on the tour itinerary.

"I like military affairs, so I have to go to the USS Intrepid Aircraft Carrier Museum. Do you like aircraft carriers? Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't like it. Just accompany me to see it."

"We have a clothing business, and Fifth Avenue is the fashion leader in the world. We must investigate it."

"Since we are on Fifth Avenue, we can also take a look at the New York Library and the Art Museum nearby."

Fu Yiruo and Wen Leyu stopped fighting and stood behind Li Ye, watching him list a bunch of itineraries on the schedule in the blink of an eye.

A smug smile appeared on Fu Yiru's face.

Fifth Avenue, with my small purse, can't I just stand outside the window and stare blankly like Audrey Hepburn?

But there was my brother, a rich man, who was following me and making comments.

Wen Leyu watched Li Ye write longer and longer itineraries, and couldn't help but poke Li Ye and asked, "Isn't this a waste of time?"

Li Ye turned around and smoothed the hair on Wen Leyu's forehead: "Now we are just like going to a restaurant. You ordered two dishes you like, so I have to order a few dishes I like, right?"

Wen Leyu pursed her lips and did not object.

After all, when she and Li Ye went out to eat, the dishes Li Ye ordered were all her favorites.

The dishes ordered by Wen Leyu were also what Li Ye liked.

. . . . . . . . .

Although the itinerary was basically filled with Wen Leyu's favorite places, she still insisted on accompanying Li Ye to visit the USS Intrepid first.

It just so happened that the next day was the public opening day of the aircraft carrier museum, so the three of them, along with two bodyguards, drove in two cars straight to the mouth of the Hudson River.

Fu Yiruo was driving happily while saying seriously, "Let me tell you something! A driver and translator like me who has a driver's license and knows English must earn 40 US dollars a day, and that includes food."

Li Ye, who was sitting in the back seat, nodded repeatedly: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ll give you fifty.”

Fu Yiruo was immediately unhappy: "What are you thinking, brother? How can I take your salary? When we go to Fifth Avenue later, just buy me a pair of shoes."

Li Ye leaned back in the back seat and said generously, "Okay, I'll buy you and Xiaoyu a pair each. If you perform well, I'll buy you two pairs, two pairs for each of you."

"Yeah, thank you, brother, thank you, sister-in-law. Hehehehe."

Fu Yiruo chuckled and glanced at Wen Leyu in the rearview mirror, and Wen Leyu happened to look at her.

Fu Yiruo stuck out her tongue and said, "Sister-in-law, just let me be willful for a few days! When my brother marries you, I will know my limits~"

Wen Leyu was stunned, then immediately understood what Fu Yiruo meant.

You can rob an unmarried brother, after all, they are siblings. But if there is a sister-in-law between a married brother and his sister, would you try robbing one of them?

Wen Leyu looked at Fu Yiru and sighed softly.

This child has been with Fu Guiru in Nanyang for more than ten years. Suddenly, she has a brother. She hasn't enjoyed the benefits of being a younger sister for a few days. Now she sees her brother being taken away by his sister-in-law. What's wrong with being a little willful?

So Wen Leyu said gently: "Xiaoyu, you are wrong. No matter now or in the future, your brother is still your brother. Even if he buys you 800 pairs of shoes, I will never say a word, and I will even buy you one more pair!"

"really?"

"Really? I'll buy you a pair today, and you can pick whatever you want later. My sister-in-law can still afford to buy you a pair of shoes."

Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu in surprise. This was the first time that Wen Leyu called herself "sister-in-law" in front of Fu Yiru!

It’s great that family members live in harmony.

. . . . . . . . .

When Li Ye arrived at Pier 86 in New York, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the huge USS Intrepid aircraft carrier.

Although the displacement of the USS Intrepid is only more than 30,000 tons, which is considered small among aircraft carriers, the feeling of watching a 10,000-ton ship in videos and pictures is completely different from the feeling of standing under the ship in person.

When a human being less than two meters tall looks directly at a man-made steel product that is more than ten stories high and as large as dozens of basketball courts, the visual impact and psychological oppression he or she endures are difficult to describe in words.

“Is this an aircraft carrier?”

Wen Leyu, who was beside Li Ye, also made an unconscious sound.

In fact, Wen Leyu felt a stronger psychological shock than Li Ye, because she didn't know that decades later, the once backward flower-growing country had built its own domestically-made aircraft carrier of "more than 80,000 tons".

She only knew that the largest warship of the current mainland navy had a displacement of less than 5,000 tons.

Moreover, due to family reasons, Wen Leyu knew that when Mr. Liu visited the USS Lighthouse Raider in 1980, he was ordered not to touch any equipment on the aircraft carrier, so he could only stand on tiptoe, hoping to see more clearly.

After returning, the mainland began to discuss the construction of an aircraft carrier.

Originally Wen Leyu thought that an aircraft carrier was just a "big paper tiger", but now he sees that it is a real tiger!

Li Ye held Wen Leyu's hand tightly and said firmly: "Don't think it's so great. We will build a bigger one in the future."

"us?"

Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye and saw a rare expression of determination on his face.

In Wen Leyu's eyes, Li Ye is a "big kid" most of the time, but at this moment, he seems to be as mature as his father Wen Qingsheng.

[Is this why he always emphasizes manufacturing? ]

Wen Leyu also held Li Ye's hand tightly and said seriously: "Okay, let's build a bigger one together."

"And me and me."

Fu Yiru stretched out her hand with a smile and forced it on the palms of Li Ye and Wen Leyu.

At this moment, three young people in their twenties had the same wish.

"Shh~"

Just when the three of them were smiling knowingly, a sneer full of contempt disturbed their mood.
