A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Because it was close to Lunar New Year's Eve, many people in Pingba Village went to the market to prepare their New Year's goods.
Ye Beiping also took Tao Qiuyan, Su Xinyi, and Ye Xiaoxin to town to buy a lot of New Year's goods, as well as some meat for the New Year.
There were three days left until Lunar New Year's Eve.
Hou Baolin and Wu Di have finally returned.
Because of their return, Ye Beiping personally drove to the station to pick them up.
Ye Beiping was naturally happy to see his two good brothers whom he hadn't seen for several days.
The three of them greeted each other with a hug.
"Beiping".
"Beiping".
"Have you deposited all your money in the bank?" Ye Beiping took two steps back, looking at the two men who looked energetic and were even wearing the latest Xtep chain store clothing, and felt very happy.
"Of course."
Hou Baolin immediately nodded and then said, "I'll go withdraw the money later and take it back to show my parents. We're now a ten-thousand-yuan household."
"Keep showing off," Wu Di glanced at Hou Baolin, his face full of disdain.
Ye Beiping was equally happy to see the two return safely.
Every year, some people traveling during the Spring Festival travel rush are unlucky and encounter unexpected events on the road.
Ye Beiping took the two to the bank first, and then went straight back to Pingba Village.
At this moment, Hou Yongping and Wu Guangfa's families were already waiting at the village entrance.
Knowing that Ye Beiping was going to pick up Hou Baolin and Wu Di, both families were quite relieved, as one car wouldn't be able to accommodate everyone if they all went.
So they waited directly at the village entrance.
There are fewer elderly women who usually gather at the village entrance. Because of the weather and the festive atmosphere, most people are staying at home or going to the market in town.
As they watched a black car slowly approach, Hou Yongping and Wu Guangfa were equally excited. They unconsciously took two steps closer and craned their necks to see the changes in their son.
After the three of them got out of the car, they immediately hugged each other.
Ye Beiping locked the car and looked at the happy faces of the two families, which made him very happy as well.
"Beiping, we're going back now. We'll go to your house later." Hou Baolin said goodbye to Ye Beiping and then pulled Hou Yongping back home.
Wu Di said the same thing: "Beiping is coming to my house for dinner tonight. I brought back some wine from Hangzhou."
As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled Wu Guangfa and his family back home.
Without even thinking, Ye Beiping knew that both families would definitely come to check on the money the two had earned outside, as the saying goes, "wealth should not be flaunted."
Taking out so much money at the entrance of the village would definitely scare people to death.
Ye Beiping naturally agreed, nodded in acknowledgment, and then carried a box of things home.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Su Xinyi saw it and slowly stood up, saying, "What is this? It's such a big box."
Hearing the commotion, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin also came out.
Seeing the cardboard box Ye Beiping was carrying, they were also somewhat curious.
After placing the cardboard box aside, Ye Beiping said to the three girls, "We're going to Grandpa's house for dinner today."
"Why go to your maternal grandfather's house for dinner? Besides, didn't you go to pick up Hou Baolin and Wu Di? Did you bring them back?" Tao Qiuyan asked, frowning.
Ye Beiping said as he opened the cardboard box, "These are the seafood that Monkey and Fatty brought back for me. Grandma said she'd never eaten them before, so we'll have seafood today."
Upon opening the cardboard box, two large lobsters were revealed to everyone.
There was still a pile of ice shards below.
The ice didn't melt because of the cold weather; otherwise, the water would have soaked through the cardboard box long ago.
"So big?" Su Xinyi exclaimed in surprise.
Having grown up in the city, I've naturally seen this kind of seafood, but I've never eaten it.
"Wow, it's huge!" Ye Xiaoxin exclaimed in surprise.
Tao Qiuyan, needless to say, had never seen such a big shrimp in over forty years.
Ye Beiping then picked up two lobsters by their whiskers and lifted them up, feeling their weight: "Well, they're alright, only a little over three pounds, not that big."
"This isn't big enough?" Ye Xiaoxin exclaimed again.
Ye Beiping pursed his lips: "Of course, there are also some weighing over ten or even dozens of kilograms. This is only a little bit, so it's not easy to buy, which is why I bought the biggest one."
As he spoke, he put the lobster back in the box.
"Let's go, let's set off now, we can make it to Grandpa's for dinner in time."
"Okay, okay." Tao Qiuyan naturally wouldn't mind sharing good things with her parents, and besides, this was also Ye Beiping's way of showing filial piety.
When she left, Tao Qiuyan also took a lot of things she had bought at the town market in the past few days.
When the family set off, Hou Baolin and Wu Di came looking for them, only to find they hadn't arrived.
Where are they?
Hou Baolin glanced at the empty courtyard and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Did they go out?"
"I understand." Wu Di suddenly realized something and explained, "Beiping asked us to buy that big lobster before, saying it was for his grandmother. It's probably already gone to Taoping Village."
The two who guessed the answer smiled at each other.
Since that's the case, we can only go back to our own homes.
However, the two families agreed to have dinner together tonight.
Also, because they were bringing lobsters for Ye Beiping, and it was the first time they had ever seen such large lobsters, they each bought two.
Taoping Village, Tao Shengli's home.
Tao Shengli was very welcoming when he saw Ye Beiping and his family arrive.
"Sister, Xiaoxin, Beiping, Xinyi, what brings you here? Come in, come in, it's so cold outside." Tao Shengli said, pulling the four people into the house.
