Chapter 161 Aunt Liu
When I woke up, I was forced to perform a shaman dance and my car was scrapped.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Lin's eyes. He looked around at the two of them, but still found it hard to believe.
"Are you two the driving gods of Xiahe Village?"
"You can drive your car into someone else's house? Why don't you just drive into their bed?"
Ah Hui squeezed the steering wheel, swallowed his saliva and said nothing, listening to the lecture attentively.
Seeing that the boss didn't speak, No. 3 seemed to have no choice but to go alone. He turned his head from the passenger seat and admitted his mistake to the young master with a bitter face.
"Master, the road was going smoothly, but suddenly a yard appeared, and I just rushed in."
"Alright, pay the compensation they owe you, and then sell the car if you can, or give it away if you can't."
Ye Lin was very excited and felt irritated. After he finished telling No. 3 the solution, he told him to shut up.
The three of them drove back to the county guesthouse. Ye Lin quickly took out a pair of pajamas from his bag and went into the public shower room to take a shower.
There was no heating in the guesthouse and there were few people staying there, so the huge shower room was as cold as an ice cellar.
Ye Linguang stood inside, feeling so cold that goose bumps appeared all over his body. He quickly washed in three minutes, but was still cold when he came out.
"A-choo!"
Sneezing, Ye Lin took the wool blanket from Ah Hui's hand and wrapped himself in it. He finally felt a little warmer.
Aunt Liu saw Ye Lin sneezing after coming out of the shower room, and she felt so distressed. She followed Ye Lin and kept talking about her young master.
"My young master, why are you taking a bath in such a cold weather? Hurry up and drink a cup of ginger soup to warm yourself up. You can't do this even if you are young."
"This place is not like Hong Kong. Master, we can make do with what we can. It's okay if we get a little dirty. Madam Rebecca has told me that she wants you..."
Ye Lin took the steaming ginger soup, took a sip and it was so spicy that his tongue shrank and the breath went up to the top of his head.
How many pounds of ginger did Aunt Liu put in?
Being nagging by Aunt Liu, Ye Lin was in a state of panic. He walked from the door to the bedroom, but he couldn't get rid of her. He looked around the room and didn't see Wei Xiaodan, so he changed the subject.
"Aunt Liu, why haven't I seen Wei Xiaodan?"
Aunt Liu was repeating Rebecca's top instructions when the young master suddenly asked about Wei Xiaodan. Aunt Liu, who was talking nonstop, was stuck for a moment.
"Madam wants you not to run around, not to eat tree bark, not to, what?"
"Oh, Master, please ask Xiaodan. She went to school and just left the day before yesterday."
Coincidentally, the aunt who manages the guesthouse is married to the principal of the commune high school.
Ye Lin had previously given the aunt a Cartier watch as a gift.
The aunt took the watch home and asked someone to inquire about it. She learned that the watch was indeed a foreign product and was worth at least five or six hundred yuan, maybe even more than eight or nine hundred yuan.
A watch is enough to cover the entire aunt's family fortune.
This scared the aunt and her family. They wanted to return the money to Boss Ye, but they thought Boss Ye would think too much. If they didn't return it, the aunt would feel uneasy.
I occasionally chat with Aunt Liu and learn that Wei Xiaodan wants to take the college entrance examination, but the school has not yet confirmed it.
The aunt went home and discussed with her husband, and decided to let Wei Xiaodan go to the commune high school. This was also a small favor they did for Boss Ye.
Ye Lin nodded after listening to this. Wei Xiaodan had solved the school's problems, so he didn't have to worry about them anymore. She had money and lived in the school. As long as he didn't fail in the college entrance examination, he would be fine in the future.
Ye Lin pinched his nose and drank a cup of ginger soup. Some water stains seeped out of his forehead, and his hands and feet began to gradually warm up.
Aunt Liu mentioned Aunt Rebecca just now, and Ye Lin calculated the days.
We should be arriving in the mainland in the next two days, but why haven’t we heard anything yet?
Judging from his aunt's personality, after arriving in Country F, even if she fights and cuts in line, she will probably have to ask someone to make her a skirt first, and she won't be accepted if she is slow.
"Aunt Liu, has there been a call from Hong Kong?"
"I came once. It was just Lao Fang who called the Guangdong port to inquire about our situation in the mainland. Since you were not here, I asked Guangdong Province to reply to Lao Fang."
"Is there a phone number for the Guangdong port?"
"Yes, Master, wait a minute, I'll go find it."
Ye Lin felt that his brain had been really stupid because of his aunt's words.
I forgot that the phone here cannot be called directly to Hong Kong.
He wanted to take his grandparents for a physical examination, but was worried that they would miss Aunt Rebecca, so he asked the Lord Fang to be the middleman to see how far Rebecca had progressed.
Aunt Liu opened the desk drawer, took out her notebook, flipped through it, and found a string of numbers.
"Master, this is the port number."
"Okay, I'll make a phone call first."
Going downstairs to the first floor of the guesthouse, Ye Lin called the Guangdong Port according to the number on the notebook.
Ask them to help convey two things to the Ye family in Hong Kong. One is to ask when Rebecca will visit the mainland, and the other is to send a plane to pick her up if Rebecca does not arrive in the mainland within a week.
"Okay, that's all. Please convey it to me."
"Thank you, goodbye."
Ye Lin hung up the phone and signaled Ah Hui to pay.
Ah Hui earns HK$30,000 a month, so a few dollars for phone bills is nothing.
It was Ye Lin's fault that he had no money in his pocket. 000 hadn't said a word these days, as if it were dead. He almost forgot how much money he owed it.
It seems to be 7 billion or 6 billion?
The telephone in the guesthouse is charged, especially if Ye Lin wants to make a long-distance call, it will be even more expensive.
It costs at least four dollars.
Accommodation at the guesthouse is provided by the county government, but phone calls are at your own expense.
The aunt who manages the guesthouse had previously accepted an expensive watch from Ye Lin, so how could she have the nerve to take his money again?
No matter what Ah Hui said, the aunt refused to take the money and planned to pay for it out of her own pocket.
Ye Lin waited for a while, watching Ah Hui and the aunt throwing four dollars back and forth.
Two people are playing volleyball by the window.
Raise your hand and grab the paper money that is parabolicly moving back and forth in the air.
Unfolding the paper ball, Ye Lin took out two pieces and handed them to the aunt.
"Auntie, it's not easy for you to earn money, how can I ask you to pay for it? How about we both make a compromise and you take two yuan from us?"
"Ah, fine, I'll listen to Mr. Ye. What Mr. Ye says makes sense. I'll take two dollars, haha."
The aunt was talking to Ah Hui just now, and they were interacting with each other without much notice.
But whenever Mr. Ye spoke to her, she inexplicably felt like she had no confidence to refute him.
Could this be the glory of money?
Now in the eyes of the aunt, Ye Lin = foreign watches = six or seven hundred yuan = her entire family fortune
After seeing Ye Lin and Ah Hui go upstairs,
The aunt took out two dollars from her pocket, put them together with the two dollars given by Ye Lin, and put them in her official account bag.
Thinking of what Ye Lin said on the phone just now about the plane,
The auntie has never seen what a real airplane looks like, but from what Mr. Ye said it seems that he can just call it?
"Tsk tsk, it turns out planes are more convenient than buses. I can just make a phone call and have it delivered to my door. I wonder if I can get one for a hundred yuan?"
Her useless knowledge increased.
Back upstairs,
Aunt Liu is trying to figure out how to plug the hair dryer into the socket.
The blow dryers they brought had British plugs, which did not match the plugs in mainland China.
Aunt Liu washed her hair herself before, and when she saw that the plug of the hair dryer did not match the pin, she stopped tinkering with it.
But the young master can't give in. What if he gets sick?
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
He raised the hammer and started repairing the plug.
When Ye Lin opened the door and came in, he saw Aunt Liu swinging a hammer, trying to do something.
"Aunt Liu, are you dismantling appliances?"
Aunt Liu stood up to take a breath and checked to see if the young master's hair was dry.
"I'm thinking of knocking it sideways so I can plug it in and turn it on."
"Master, your hair is wet and there's no spark in this room. You have to blow dry it."
Ye Lin picked up the plug that had been repaired by Aunt Liu. The plug was crooked and looked quite artistic.
"Throw it away. Even if it's inserted, it'll probably electrocute people into popcorn."
Worried that Aunt Liu would continue to study it, Ye Lin wrapped up the hair dryer and asked Ah Hui to throw it outside later.
"Aunt Liu, tomorrow is my father's funeral. Are you going?"
Aunt Liu stood up straight suddenly.
"Yes, I will go now. I have served the master for more than twenty years. The master has treated me well. I have to go and see him off no matter what."
As he spoke, tears began to flow from his eyes.
More than 20 years ago, she took her niece A-mo to beg for food on the streets of Hong Kong. If the master had not seen them, the poor aunt and niece would have starved to death on the streets of Hong Kong.
She must see the master off on his last journey.
"Master, wait for me. Lao Fang and the others asked me to bring some things with me. I'll put them in the tomb for you tomorrow so you can take them there."
"Okay, I'll wait at the door for a while."
Aunt Liu dragged out two suitcases from the cabinet. It seemed that they had been prepared long ago and could be left as soon as they were zipped up.
He took out a photo album from his backpack, packed it up, and went out to Xiahe Village with Ye Lin.
