Chapter 69 Second Update: Ginseng and Deer Antler
etc--
Car? What car?
Four-wheeled car?
Car?
Hearing this, Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi were filled with questions. Their family didn't even have a bicycle. They could find a few relatives who had bicycles, but the gap between them and cars was too great. It was like one was in heaven and the other was in hell.
Is it possible for ordinary people to own a car? Their entire machinery factory only has two cars, and only the factory director, deputy factory director, factory director, and their drivers can drive them.
When did they have such amazing relatives and friends? Why can't they imagine it at all?
Ye Yu frowned, as if he had some guess.
After walking a few more steps, they saw a domestically-made car blocked by adults and children at the gate of a small courtyard. They could not see the license plate or the driver.
No, it seems the driver wasn’t in the car either.
"Ye Yu, here, here!" Another tall and thin man was seen waving vigorously in the crowd. There were three unfamiliar faces standing near him, two men and one woman?
The reason for putting a question mark is that the female one not only has very short and messy hair, but also her behavior details are a bit deliberately inclined towards the opposite sex. In fact, she doesn't look very heroic, and her fangs when she speaks are very memorable.
Ye Yu nodded in response and briefly introduced them to his parents: "Han Jing, the educated youth who went to Wangjiagou with him, and his friends."
Friends who were brought along: ...This introduction is logical, but it sounds weird. Ye Zhiqing's personality is indeed as unique as Han Jing said.
Han Jing was already used to Ye Yu's personality, and greeted Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi warmly: "Uncle and aunt, Happy New Year", and even Ye Baoguo and Ye Weiguo were not spared, "Hello to my two younger brothers, Happy New Year."
Let me introduce my friends: "Ma Shengnan, Gao Xinliang, Song Kai."
The friends who were picked up quickly laughed and called out to each other, and also wished: "Happy New Year."
Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi were so shocked by this operation that they were stunned for a long time. It took them a while to react and they welcomed them into the main room with an awkward smile.
Even so, there were still a bunch of men and women, young and old, sticking their heads out of the yard to gossip and command: "San Ya, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you pour tea for the Korean educated youth?"
Ye Yu: "Oh."
"No, no, no, Ye Yu, you sit down, you sit down, you sit down," Han Yu jumped up from the stool as if a needle had been stuck in his buttocks, "I'll do it, I'll do it myself, hahaha, it's this thermos, right?"
Elm leaves:
"The tea is behind the altar on your right."
"Okay!" Han Yu was busy running around. He was mainly busy for Ye Hongjun, Wang Laidi, Ye Yu, Ye Baoguo and Ye Zhongguo. In the process, he kicked Liangzi and others, and asked Ma Shengnan, Gao Xinliang and Song Kai to get busy as well.
Ye Hongjun Wang Laidi: "..."
The couple was so shocked that they didn't react at all, resulting in a very strange scene in the house: the host was just sitting there while the guests were busy running around. They had never seen such a situation in their entire lives.
It was not until Ma Shengnan took out the large and small packages of free gifts in the car that Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi finally came to their senses and waved their hands to refuse.
It can be seen that this time they are not being polite out of social conventions, but are sincere.
Let's not talk about the fact that the Ye family and Han Jing are not familiar with each other. Let's take a look at the New Year gifts that Han Jing brought. Some of these things were taken from home, and some were bought from state-owned stores.
The New Year gift packaging of White Rabbit milk candy was still unopened, and there was also a bottle of "Feitian" Moutai, which might be the national liquor Moutai. This bottle of wine alone was worth 5 yuan, and you needed several wine tickets. To be honest, wine tickets are harder to come by than money.
“…”
Whose child is this? How can he waste things like this?
Ye Hongjun didn't notice that he said it out loud because he was too surprised. Han Jing also answered his question, saying that his grandfather, his father, and his mother all knew about it, and his grandfather agreed.
Some of the New Year gifts were chosen by his parents, and his grandfather also donated money and tickets to express his gratitude to Ye Yu for taking care of him in Wangjiagou.
In fact, not only Ye Yu had gifts, but also the forest ranger, Hua Feifei, and Xu Fei had them. However, the gifts from others were not considered New Year gifts and were taken away after the Spring Festival. However, since they were not New Year gifts, they were not so grand and were more of practical items.
Han Jing simply piled the things under the dining table in the main room because there was no room on the table.
"I haven't thanked you for helping take care of Ye Yu yet." Ye Hongjun and his wife were overwhelmed by the New Year gifts that fell from the sky. It was really difficult for them to return the gifts of equal value.
"Ye Yu is the leader of our educated youth. She can live well wherever she goes. She doesn't need our care. Only we need Ye Yu's care. You don't know how desperate we were on the way to Wangjiagou. If Ye Yu hadn't helped hold the luggage... and..."
Han Jingchui appears again, and the description is very serious at the beginning, but becomes more and more bizarre later, almost turning it into a martial arts drama or an anti-corruption drama.
Wang Laidi were stunned when they heard Ye Hongjun's words. If Ye Yu hadn't told them, they wouldn't have known that Ye Yu's life in the country was so rich and colorful.
Fighting and punishing bullies are nothing; some of the issues are closely related to their lives, such as the reform of supply and marketing cooperatives and even many state-owned service industries.
The two brothers Ye Baoguo listened with great interest. Ye Weiguo even raised his hand to ask questions actively. If he hadn't already had the goal of playing in the World Championships next year and making a good living, he really wanted to move to Wangjiagou.
“…”
Wang Lai Di finally found her hands and feet, and like a wooden man, she took out snacks from the cabinet and placed them on the table. She turned around and saw Han Jing pushing the food in front of Ye Yu and inviting Ye Yu to eat, with very skillful movements.
“…”
Under Ye Hongjun's hesitant look and Wang Laidie's incomprehensible gaze, Ye Yu put down his water cup, took out four freshly folded red envelopes, and handed them to Han Jing and his friends. That's enough, this isn't too tiring for them.
Aren’t red envelopes given from the elders to the younger generations?
But Han Jing was so heartless that he was happy to accept the gifts. And his childhood friends, since they agreed to Han Jing's unreliable suggestion to wish a happy new year to strangers they had never met during the Spring Festival, had similar personalities to Han Jing and accepted the gifts one by one.
Okay, never mind.
Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi went out to pay New Year's greetings, leaving all the household affairs to Ye Yu. Ye Baoguo's brother had originally planned to pay New Year's greetings to his parents, but at this time he had completely given up the original opportunity and wanted to be his sister's follower.
Okay, let’s just ignore it.
What's even more outrageous is that when she went out, she saw a group of people watching. Some of them were asking which young man came to give the betrothal gift and whether Ye Yu was going to get married too.
"What the hell is going on? They have the purest revolutionary feelings." These words sounded familiar. Wang Laidie had learned a certain fashionable phrase without any instruction. She did not see any shyness between men and women at all. They were more like five buddies.
After Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi left, Ye Yu asked while cracking melon seeds: "How is your martial arts training going?"
“Don’t dare to slack off for a day.” So far, Han Jing has not learned all the basic movements. If he wastes a day, won’t his body’s flexibility return and he have to suffer the pain of stretching again?
Having said that, when learning martial arts from Ye Yu, Han Jing did expect to become a martial arts master like Ye Yu and be able to kick a wild boar away, but he is still far from that.
However, learning martial arts was not completely useless as he thought.
On New Year's Eve, when Han Jing was fighting with his cousins, he unexpectedly discovered that he was much more agile and his strength had increased. He had learned military boxing, and the effect of the same set of military boxing now increased by two levels compared to the past, making him almost a leader among his peers.
Mr. Han is well-informed. There were more than one or two civilian masters in the army before the founding of the People's Republic of China. There is definitely no such outrageous plot as hiding bombs in the crotch of pants. But there really was a 10-year-old assassin, and he had once learned martial arts and shooting.
Just tell Han Jing to study hard.
It's not that Grandpa Han doesn't trust his grandson, but for the sake of the country, he still has the guards secretly check the backgrounds of the forest ranger and the Ye family. They are indeed of good origin, and they are no longer spies with ulterior motives.
Although it is not known which master the forest ranger and Ye Yu learned from, the forest ranger had experienced war and Ye Yu had experienced a three-year period of famine. It is entirely possible that they met folk masters and learned from them.
It's a pity that the current situation is so chaotic that many masters have chosen to retire, and only those who have emerged are stubborn people.
Han Jing was able to drive out to pay New Year's greetings, which must have been supported by Grandpa Han.
Ma Shengnan raised his hand high: "Comrade Ye, can I learn from you?"
She also brought tuition fees, in addition to food, there was also a military green coat, and said that it was a New Year's gift whether she taught or not. She also said that the black soil grain production in the production team where she was staying was relatively high, and there were also famous treasures such as ginseng, sable fur, and deer antlers, so she could pay it regularly.
Ye Weiguo: "And me!"
Ye Baoguo: "Me."
Gao Xinliang and Song Kai also raised their hands silently.
Ye Yu replied: "Teaching you is not a problem, the problem is that there is not enough time."
Everyone said they would learn as much as they could.
Brothers Ye Baoguo and Ye Weiguo may not realize that Ma Shengnan, Gao Xinliang and Song Kai were surprised and delighted at how easily Ye Yu agreed. You know, even carpenters and masons need to test them for three, five or ten years before accepting disciples. Who would be so capable of showing off their skills so openly?
Elm leaves:
...Supernatural powers cannot be learned, they have to rely on the sun. As for martial arts, spreading them will help the evolution of mankind in the last days, and it can also be considered a merit for rebirth, right?
Ma Shengnan also asked: "My mother and uncle are both in the pharmaceutical industry. I heard that some medicines can reduce the study time?"
Although traditional Chinese medicine has been hit hard, it is impossible for Chinese medicine to disappear completely. Urban hospitals still use half Western medicine and half Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine is the main medicine in towns and rural areas.
Ye Yu listed a series of medicinal herbs, a small number of precious herbs + most of the common herbs. If they were all precious herbs, who knows how many would be missing in the end times.
Ma Shengnan suggested that they could go directly to the medicinal materials factory outside the suburbs of Yanjing City. She, Gao Xinliang, and Song Kai took the initiative to share some of the medicinal materials for themselves, the Ye Baoguo brothers, as well as Han Jing, Hua Feifei, Xu Fei, and Wang Danniu.
As for Ye Yu, she can just tell them what herbs she needs and they will do their best.
Ye Yu was not polite and really listed a long list. This time there were more medicinal herbs, more precious herbs, and the demand for them was greater than the last list.
"It may take a while, or maybe a year," Ma Shengnan answered honestly.
Elm leaves:
"It doesn't matter."
Medicinal herbs are indeed useful for the cultivation of psychics, but not that useful. What is more important is talent and hard work.
Whether going to the suburbs or the hutongs, which are bustling places with many people inside and outside, it is not suitable to scream, as it may attract many enthusiastic people to call the police.
Ye Yu glanced at the Korean scene.
Han Jing was pretending to be calm. The purpose of his coming here really had nothing to do with the pharmaceutical factory, but was some other surprise. But since it was a surprise, hehe, Comrade Ye Yu had always been very calm, and he hoped to see her surprised look.
