"Yes." Zhang Lei agreed without hesitation.
Before Ye Beiping could voice his objections, Zhang Lei dragged him out of the ward.
Once inside a jeep, Ye Beiping was utterly speechless: "Hey soldier, why don't you tell your commander that I really have something to do and can't keep him company?"
“A soldier needs orders from his superior unconditionally, so your request is completely invalid with me.” Zhang Lei asked expressionlessly, “Where do you live?”
"Pingba Village." Ye Beiping said, then realized, "Hey, wait, you really want to take me home?"
"Otherwise what?" Zhang Lei's honest expression turned puzzled.
Ye Beiping then gave up as well.
It seems that nothing you say will make a difference when dealing with this kind of dull-witted soldier.
They dared not run away, having already revealed their entire fortune. The scene just now clearly showed that the old man had a powerful background and they couldn't afford to offend him.
Soon they arrived at Pingba Village, where the villagers saw a jeep drive into the village and looked around curiously.
Even the people working in the fields looked this way.
The entire field was in an uproar when Ye Beiping and Zhang Lei got out of the car.
"Qiuyan, is that Beiping?"
"Yes, why did he come back in a jeep?"
"Could he have done something wrong and been arrested?"
...
Hearing what the villagers said, Tao Qiuyan immediately became nervous. She dropped her hoe and ran to the jeep, saying to Zhang Lei, "Did my son offend you? I'm sorry, we country folk are ignorant. Please be magnanimous and don't arrest my son."
Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Beiping silently shed tears.
In an instant, I was transported back to my past life, to the time when I was arrested, and my mother was crying and begging the police to release me.
Zhang Lei was also stunned by this scene: "No, Auntie, Auntie, we..."
But Tao Qiuyan, who was in a state of heightened emotion, couldn't listen to anything at that moment. Seeing that Ye Beiping was crying, she became even more anxious.
Tao Qiuyan punched and kicked Ye Beiping, yelling, "What did you do wrong, you brat? They've come to arrest you! They told you not to go looking for opportunities, not to hang out with them, but you wouldn't listen! Now look what's happened! How am I supposed to live?"
Ah~
This scene terrified Zhang Lei. Wasn't the commander supposed to send him to ask for leave? How did things turn out like this?
Hearing his mother's heart-wrenching screams, Ye Beiping couldn't bear it and explained, "Mom, he didn't come to arrest me, I..."
"If they're not here to arrest you, what are they here for? They've come to your door, aren't they here to arrest you?" Tao Qiuyan broke down even more and immediately burst into tears, no longer having the strength to kick and punch.
Ye Beiping immediately helped Tao Qiuyan up and explained, "Mom, please listen to me, okay?"
"I ran into someone after leaving the hospital, and then I took him to the hospital. To thank me, he let me stay and have some fun for a few days. It's nothing, he really didn't come to arrest me. You can ask him if you don't believe me." Ye Beiping also pointed to Zhang Lei next to him.
Tao Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, then asked again in disbelief, "Really?"
“It really is Auntie.” Zhang Lei said, somewhat amused, “Your son saved our commander. Our commander thinks your son is a good person and wants to invite him to come and have some fun for a few days. He’ll come back when he’s done.”
"Really?" Tao Qiuyan couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to her son.
Ye Beiping wiped away his tears and said speechlessly, "Really, Mom, please don't get agitated."
"You scared me to death, you brat!" Tao Qiuyan slapped Ye Beiping lightly, wiped the tears from her face, and smiled apologetically at Zhang Lei, "I'm sorry, how about we go back and get a glass of water? Look, I made you personally bring this brat back to tell him."
"No need, no need, the commander is still waiting at the hospital," Zhang Lei waved his hand repeatedly to explain.
"That's a success."
Upon hearing that the commander was waiting, Tao Qiuyan immediately shoved Ye Beiping: "You brat, what are you standing there for? Don't keep the commander waiting. When you get there, don't cause trouble. It's your good fortune that the commander invited you. You must behave yourself, do you hear me?"
Just kidding, that's a high-ranking official.
Those who are appointed as leaders hold a very important place in the hearts of farmers.
The thought of his son being invited to play by the leader was like the glory of being taken by generals in ancient times to drink and eat meat.
Ye Beiping was stunned. How could his mother's face change so quickly?
She was just acting like she was going to die, how come she's pushing her own son away now?
At this moment, Zhang Lei said, "Ye Beiping, now that you've asked for leave, get in the car. The commander is waiting."
"Oh, okay." Ye Beiping glanced at his mother, then looked into the field, but couldn't find Su Xinyi. He could only purse his lips and get back into the jeep.
It seems that the educated youth stopped doing farm work as soon as they heard they could return to the city.
After the jeep drove away in a cloud of dust, Tao Qiuyan was surrounded by the villagers who congratulated her, saying that Ye Beiping had made something of himself and had even been taken away by a leader, and that he would soon rise to great heights.
Sitting in the car, Ye Beiping kept thinking about Su Xinyi.
Seeing this, Zhang Lei thought she was not used to it and joked, "Your mother is quite cute. I thought I was going to mess this up."
"Huh?" Ye Beiping didn't react for a moment, then belatedly said, "Yes, what mother in the world doesn't love her own child? My mother is just one of the most special mothers, but she's the most special in my eyes."
"Me too." Zhang Lei seemed to be thinking of his mother as well, a smile playing on his lips.
