Ye Yifan said as he drove, "We're about to get on the highway. Do you want to take a nap? You'll be busy later. My grandfather is getting old, but he probably has a lot to say to you. You need to save your energy."
Hua Kai said, "Don't worry, I have plenty of energy."
They soon got on the highway, and there were fewer flowers in bloom, allowing Ye Yifan to focus on driving.
It only takes about half an hour on the highway, and after exiting the highway, it's another ten minutes or so to get into the city of the provincial capital.
Since Changyuan City is not small, there weren't many surprising things about the provincial capital. However, Ye Yifan mentioned that there are some ancient buildings and historical sites in the provincial capital, which we can visit if we have time.
Before long, they arrived at the door of Grandpa Ye Jianxiao's house.
Grandpa Ye was standing at the door, leaning on his cane, waiting for them.
Seeing the car stop, Ye Jianxiao didn't even look at Ye Yifan. His eyes shone as he stared at the passenger side door. His grandson had called that morning, saying he was bringing home the girl he was working with. Ye Jianxiao knew his grandson too well. If the girl was just a business partner, he wouldn't bring her home. Home held great significance for Ye Yifan.
Ye Yifan smiled as he helped Hua open the passenger door, and said to Ye Jianxiao, "Grandpa, we've brought everyone here, so we can't just fly away. And you, you're so cold, coming out to wait."
Ye Jianxiao's mustache stood up with a smile: "It's the first time you've brought a girl home, and Grandpa is so happy he can't stay inside."
Hua Kai approached Ye Jianxiao and said, "Hello, Grandpa Ye, I am Hua Kai."
Ye Jianxiao looked at the girl, who was pretty, tall, and slender, and thought she was a perfect match for his grandson. He was overjoyed and said, "Good, good boy, come inside quickly. You must have been cold on the way."
Hua Kai carried the gifts she had brought and also took out the blueprints.
Ye Yifan took the things from Hua Kai's hands: "You and Grandpa go inside first, I'll get the things."
At this moment, the family's housekeeper, Aunt Chen, also came out. She greeted Ye Yifan and Hua Kai, and then went over to help Ye Yifan carry his things.
Hua Kai followed Ye Jianxiao into the house, which was a separate courtyard with a two-story building. The interior was designed in a pure Chinese style, and there were many antiques and calligraphy and paintings in the house. It seemed that the old man had a taste for these things. In the future, she could go to the countryside with Ye Yifan to collect some antiques. Not only would it make the old man happy, but the appreciation potential in the future would also be a hundred times greater. She had forgotten about this before, but this made her eyes light up.
As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Ye Jianxiao's eyes were fixed on his future granddaughter-in-law. He thought she was wonderful no matter how he looked at her: "Huakai, what a nice name. It sounds so auspicious. You should have come to visit us a long time ago. Grandpa has been looking forward to it."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Grandpa Ye, I just started my winter vacation. Before, I was busy with school and the factory and shop that Ye Yifan and I just opened. Now that I'm on vacation, I'll come to see Grandpa Ye more often."
Ye Jianxiao looked at Ye Yifan, who had just come in carrying large and small bags, and said unhappily, "Xiaofan, didn't Grandpa say that you should take care of things more when it comes to doing business? Kaikai is a girl, she can't work too hard."
Ye Yifan looked at Ye Jianxiao with a wronged expression: "Grandpa, aren't you being a little too biased?"
Ye Jianxiao stroked his beard and laughed, "You're a grown man, yet you're competing for a girl's affections, aren't you ashamed?"
Ye Yifan put down his things and sat down next to Ye Jianxiao: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely spoil Kaikai too."
Ye Jianxiao nodded: "That's right, boys should be more tolerant of girls, you know?"
Ye Yifan quickly replied, "Grandpa is right."
Hua Kai listened with a smile the whole time. It was all thanks to Ye Jianxiao, such a good grandfather, that Ye Yifan's unfortunate childhood could still have some warmth and happiness. He was able to raise a child with so many problems in his heart so well. This old man is truly respectable.
After talking for a while, Hua Kai took out the blueprints: "Grandpa Ye, let me tell you about the blueprints?"
Ye Jianxiao put on his reading glasses: "Good, good, I really didn't expect that you could do this at such a young age. When Xiao Fan told me, I couldn't believe it."
Hua Kai said, "After I finish this painting, I still need to find a professional and qualified person to review it."
Ye Jianxiao said, "It's not easy for someone so young to know all this. Tell Grandpa about these blueprints."
Hua Kai spread out the blueprints and began explaining them to Ye Jianxiao.
Because Ye Jianxiao had been to his friend's farm, he knew the location. Hearing Hua Kai's explanation, he nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Hua Kai's designs.
After Hua Kai finished speaking, Ye Yifan said to Ye Jianxiao, "Grandpa, once you and your friend have finalized the plan, take the blueprints to the design institute in a few days and find a friend of mine. He will take care of everything for you."
Ye Jianxiao was overjoyed: "My grandson is truly capable."
Just then, Aunt Chen came in and said she was going to buy groceries, asking if there was anything special she wanted to make.
Ye Jianxiao looked at Hua Kai: "Kai Kai, is there anything you want to eat, or anything you can't eat?"
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Grandpa Ye, I'm not a picky eater, I eat everything."
Ye Jianxiao smiled and nodded, saying, "Good, good, it's good that you're not picky about food. Xiao Fan is not picky about food either, and he'll grow up tall and strong if he's not picky about food." Then he told Aunt Chen to just pick out the best and freshest food to buy.
After Aunt Chen left, Ye Yifan started talking to Ye Jianxiao about how the flower had bloomed. He said that everything the flower did was good and everything it could do was good. He praised the flower so much that he was embarrassed and kept giving Ye Yifan meaningful glances, telling him not to exaggerate too much.
Ye Yifan smiled as she looked at the blooming flowers: "You don't need to think so much, Grandpa likes to hear it."
Hua Kai blushed slightly: "But you're praising me too much."
Ye Yifan said, "Really? I think I'm telling the truth."
Ye Jianxiao also laughed and said, "Girl, don't be so reserved, and don't feel like you have to do anything special since it's your first time here. This is your own home. This is the first time Xiao Fan has brought a girl back. I know his personality. You may be the first girl he has brought back, and you should be the only one."
Hua Kai's face turned even redder: "Grandpa Ye, I understand."
Ye Jianxiao said to Ye Yifan, "Take Kaikai around and let him get familiar with the house. Clean up the guest room next to you, change the quilt to a thick one, and let Kaikai sleep in that room tonight. It's quiet upstairs. I'm getting old and I often get up at night, so I can't sleep well downstairs."
Ye Yifan agreed and took Hua Kai upstairs.
The stairs are a bit to the west. After going up, there's a small greenhouse directly in front of you, a study to the west, two bedrooms to the east, a study and a storage room to the north, and a bathroom.
Ye Yifan's room is the largest one on the far east side.
Entering Ye Yifan's room, it was pretty much what Hua Kai had expected. Because it was in a Chinese style, it was very rustic, with few decorations. The gray-blue checkered sheets and duvet cover were very much in line with the characteristics of a single man.
On the bedside table sat several books, a lamp, and a water glass, all neatly arranged.
There's a large wardrobe on the right-hand side as you enter. The wardrobe doesn't have any mirrors or glass on it; in short, the room is simple and clean.
