It takes more than five hours to drive from Hangzhou to Pingba Village because there is no highway.
Ye Beiping drove very steadily throughout the journey, prioritizing safety over speed.
Just as they left Hangzhou, Su Xinyi suddenly said, "I forgot something. Xinwan and the others probably don't have much money for the New Year."
Ye Beiping chuckled and offered words of comfort:
"Don't worry, I just gave Dad a thousand yuan, he won't be short of money."
Su Xinyi suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye Beiping in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes, moved to tears.
The expressions on their faces made Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin in the back row both purse their lips in disapproval.
Especially when looking at Su Xinyi's back, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin exchanged a glance.
...
Six hours later.
Ye Beiping and his group set off at eight o'clock in the morning and finally arrived at the entrance of Pingba Village at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Because the roads in the village are so narrow, cars simply can't drive in.
So, having no other choice, I had to park the car at the village entrance.
Meanwhile, the farmers who were working in the fields during the winter had nothing to do, and the elderly squatted at the village entrance chatting.
Suddenly, a car pulled up and attracted everyone's attention.
"Who's here?"
"This car must be expensive, it's so luxurious."
"Yes, if anyone in our village can afford this car, I will definitely marry my daughter to him."
...
A murmur of discussion arose.
Ye Beiping was the first to open the driver's side door and get out of the car.
The villagers who had been talking instantly fell silent, looking at the person getting off the bus in disbelief.
"This person is..."
"Isn't this Ye Beiping, the biggest troublemaker in our village?"
"What? Ye Beiping? He can afford a car now?"
...
Just as everyone was discussing, a figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd.
“Beiping, you’re back.” The speaker was Wu Di’s father, Wu Guangfa, who was also the village head of Pingba Village.
He was extremely excited to see Ye Beiping.
In the morning, his son Wu Di called to inform him that Ye Beiping would be coming back today.
He thought Ye Beiping wouldn't get home until evening, but he didn't expect him to arrive in the afternoon.
Ye Beiping greeted the newcomer warmly, "Uncle Wu."
Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin, who got out of the back seat, also greeted him.
"Guangfa".
"Uncle Wu."
Wu Guangfa was incredibly enthusiastic. Knowing that his son was now making a lot of money in Hangzhou with Ye Beiping, he immediately stepped forward to help Tao Qiuyan with the things in her hands.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from that brat Wu Di that you were coming back today. I thought you wouldn't be back until tonight, but you arrived this afternoon."
Then he saw the car in front of him and clicked his tongue twice.
"This car must be expensive. I never thought that people in Beiping could afford cars. You've made something of yourself. Your wife is so lucky."
Soon, villagers who knew Tao Qiuyan gathered around to watch.
"Yes, Qiuyan, your son has really made something of himself."
"This car must have cost a lot of money. Qiuyan is a city dweller now."
"That's right. I've always thought Ye Beiping was a promising young man. If he hadn't married an educated youth, I would have wanted to marry my daughter to him."
...
There were all sorts of flattering voices, especially from the man who was about to marry off his daughter, who wished he could give his daughter to Ye Beiping as a concubine.
Ye Beiping ignored these words and immediately went to the passenger seat to help Su Xinyi out of the car.
After a six-hour journey, Su Xinyi must have been exhausted.
Seeing Su Xinyi get off the car with her big pregnant belly, everyone showed expressions of surprise, envy, and sighs.
What's surprising is that I had heard before that Su Xinyi was pregnant, and now I'm seeing it for myself; the rumors have been confirmed.
I envy Su Xinyi's clothes; they look expensive. Even though some older women are old, they still have a desire to look beautiful.
The sad thing is that Ye Beiping has become successful and has a wife, while their own daughter has no hope.
Su Xinyi greeted the faces, both unfamiliar and familiar, with a smile.
Especially when some children ran over from a distance, she took some candy out of her pocket, ready to give it to them.
Although it wasn't cheap, she knew that children's mouths also needed to be bribed.
Given Ye Beiping's family situation, bribing these children might actually be helpful to him.
Ye Beiping didn't care about this; it was just some candy, nothing more.
The crowd escorted Ye Beiping's family back to their old house. Looking at the dilapidated, leaky house, everyone wore awkward smiles.
It's obvious that if Ye Beiping stays in Pingba Village after this trip back, he'll definitely be repairing his house.
As expected, Ye Beiping said to Wu Guangfa, "Uncle Wu, my house has been uninhabited for a long time, and I'm afraid it's not safe. Can we stay at your house for the next few days?"
"I can pay."
He knew that Wu Guangfa's house had many rooms, so he specially expanded and renovated it for Wu Di's only son's wedding.
Upon hearing this, Wu Guangfa immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "You brat, why are you being so polite with your Uncle Wu? You can stay at my house whenever you want, you can even spend the New Year with us."
hiss!
These words caused the unsuspecting villagers to gasp in shock.
Inviting others to your home for the Lunar New Year is not something to be taken lightly; living conditions aren't great these days.
The dishes eaten during Chinese New Year are usually the same for many people, lasting from New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and are not changed even when guests come.
Only after finishing one table's meal will they think about preparing a second one.
