Chapter 169: Secrets
Ye Zhen drove home, and not long after, the various materials he bought arrived.
Someone came to help with the decoration, and according to the drawings left by Ye Zhen, it should be completed almost before the New Year.
Neither of them talked much about Huang Xi'e's affair, they only mentioned it once at the dinner table.
Grandma Ye frowned and spitted: "How crazy! The child is so grown up and still does such a thing."
Shaking her head, Grandma Ye stopped talking. Ye Yong was the one she raised. He was an honest, hardworking man, and he cared about his wife and children. It was a pity.
But this is hard to say. Grandma Ye and Zhang Shuiying get along well, and I would feel bad if I don't tell them.
This thing is done.
…………
It was a rare sunny day today, and Ye Yang, Ye Chen, Ye Tao and others were picked up by Ye Zhen.
As soon as he got off the car, Ye Yang ran into the yard happily, shouting, "Mom! Is there anything to eat at home? I'm starving!"
Grandma Ye and Mother Ye were turning the mushrooms to dry them evenly when they were suddenly frightened by a loud shout.
"What are you doing! You're so loud, I got scared by you!"
Grandma Ye patted her chest and glared: "There are leftovers from lunch on the table. Heat them up yourself."
Ye's mother also said, "The food is in the kitchen. Make whatever you want. You can cook some noodles, right?"
"You guys are busy, I'll do it myself."
Little Brother Ye smiled and leaned over to ask, "Grandma, how much did the store sell this week?"
Hearing this, Grandma Ye smiled proudly and glanced at the other party, "Not bad!"
Younger brother Ye was anxious to know the answer, but Grandma Ye didn't tell him. The account number was in Grandma Ye's hands, and no one in the family knew about it except him.
"Mom, how much is it?" Grandma Ye didn't say anything, so little brother Ye ran to Mom Ye and asked.
When Mother Ye thought of the balance in the account, she felt very excited. This was something she and her mother-in-law had earned together. She glanced at Younger Brother Ye and said, "Okay," and he reluctantly helped.
She didn't elaborate, but opened the balance page on her phone and waved it in front of Ye Xiaodi.
"!" Little Brother Ye opened his eyes wide.
He was very envious, as he didn't have much left in his little piggy bank.
"Grandma, if you need me for anything, just give me the money."
Little Brother Ye didn't care about being hungry, he followed Grandma Ye diligently, helped to turn the mushrooms over and actively held the sieve. Wherever Grandma Ye glanced at, he would immediately help out, just like a little dog.
Ye Zhen was so embarrassed when he entered the room that he said, "It's not easy to work. Come with me to the fields tomorrow to help weed the watermelon fields and prune the side vines."
Now the watermelons in the field are as big as fists. Like strawberries, the field is full of various weeds. The spiritual energy is not biased, and the weeds and wild flowers grow wildly. They have to be cleaned up every day.
In addition, in order to make the watermelon grow better, we have to remove the side vines on the watermelon vine. We combine cultivation with science and technology to achieve higher yields.
"Ah~ I want to shoot a video with my grandma and the others." Brother Ye was a little frustrated.
"Wouldn't it be the same if we go after we finish filming? We don't have to shoot the video for a whole day." Ye Zhen retorted, "Come with us to the fields tomorrow."
Little Brother Ye was about to say something, but Ye Zhen glared at him and he swallowed his words back immediately.
At this time, someone came in from outside the door. Ye Tao followed Ye Chen and Zhang Shuiying and carried a bowl of chicken. "Old sister, kill a chicken today and bring a bowl of meat."
"Hey, you can just keep it at home, why bring it here?"
Grandma Ye took it and immediately asked Ye Zhen to get a few big grapefruits to give back to the owner.
Zhang Shuiying smiled happily, "I'm worried that the school won't have enough money, so I killed a chicken to make up for it." Then she laughed, "I have to shamelessly trouble your family's leaves a few times. Next time I go to school, I have to take your car back."
"It's nothing, why are you being so polite? Just tell Ye Zi. She specially sent a bowl of chicken over. You can just keep it for yourself." Although she was polite, Grandma Ye poured the chicken into her own bowl, emptied the bowl, washed it and returned it.
People in the country are like this, there are not so many twists and turns. They just send it over and pick it up. Then they go back home and make something delicious and send it back. This is called give and take.
In addition, family members are close to each other, and when there are more vegetables, they will slaughter pigs and invite them over for a meal, and everyone will have a lively time.
Zhang Shuiying took the bowl and continued, "It's because the school is too far away and it's inconvenient to go back and forth. Ye Zi bought a car to pick up Yang Zi, and my parents are not at home, so I have to trouble Ye Zi to take him there."
She didn't want to trouble others. She was the only one at home. Her daughter-in-law went to work in the county and hadn't come back for many days. She couldn't be relied on.
Ye Chen is fine, but I’m worried about Ye Tao, a girl on the road.
"It's all small matters. I'll call you next time I go back."
Ye Zhen came out carrying a basket. The grapefruits were so big, how many could he pick up with his hands?
I simply put five or six of them in a basket and took them out.
Ye Chen helped to take it, "Wow! Sister Ye Zhen, is this the pomelo from your tree? It's so big!"
Zhang Shuiying was embarrassed and waved her hands, "Just one to try is enough, why do you need so many, keep them for yourself to sell."
But she knew that the Ye family sold several large trucks of vegetables and fruits yesterday. All the fruits they grew were good and were kept to sell for money. How could she feel comfortable taking just a few?
"It's okay. We still have some left at home and there are still some growing on the tree. It's just a few grapefruits." Ye Zhen pushed it back and said nonchalantly.
Grandma Ye also chimed in. Seeing that the other party wanted to take it back, she said sternly, "Why are our two families being so formal? Take it back and feed it to the child."
Thinking of Huang Xi'e, Grandma Ye glanced at the two children and felt conflicted and upset. She wanted to speak directly many times, but was afraid that the children would be sad.
After a while, Grandma Ye asked tentatively: "Shuiying, Chenchen's mother is still working in the county? It's been two months, right? What kind of job is she doing?"
Thinking of his daughter-in-law, Zhang Shuiying sighed, told the two children to take the pomelo and bowl back first, and asked Ye Tao to bring the basket back before shaking her head and saying:
"It's said that he's selling products and being a sales anchor, but I'm not too sure."
"Didn't you call back?" Grandma Ye asked.
"No, the child's family doesn't care anymore. I told Yongzi about it, but he couldn't get through to me, and I don't know what to do."
What are you doing? Going to find your lover.
Every family has its own problems. Grandma Ye usually doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but she has a good relationship with Zhang Shuiying and doesn't want to let her be kept in the dark.
So he suggested, "Why don't we go to Xi'e's workplace? It's a bit inconvenient to go to work here. Do you rent a house? Do you have a partner?"
Zhang Shuiying actually didn't know either. Huang Xi'e went out without saying anything, just saying that she was going to work in the county. Her phone could not be reached and she didn't know how she was doing now.
Grandma Ye's words made sense. "It's okay. Yongzi has no work to do this year. He will be back next month. Let him go and see her then."
Grandma Ye didn't say anything. She just sighed after sending the man away. She could only let the other party find out by himself.
Family disgrace should not be made public, let alone something like this.
Ye Zhen looked at Grandma Ye's worried look and comforted her:
"It's okay, just do your best."
"Yes, mom, don't think too much. Yongzi is a good person. The child is so old now, and that's it."
Ye Xiaodi was confused, "What are you talking about?"
"It's none of your business, so don't ask about adults' affairs."
Little Brother Ye: “…” He has to grow up quickly.
