It was Hao Chengbing who took the initiative to speak.
"We came to see uncle and aunt."
Old Lady Lu: "You two are rare guests. You came so you can bring anything with you."
He Qiaoxiang said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Ye and his wife are both gone, so we came to see them. We haven't seen them for many years and missed them very much."
This sounds like Ye Jianguo and Miao Cuifang don't miss them.
Miao Cuifang also looked at He Qiaoxiang. This woman was more beautiful than when she was young. Being a lady really felt different.
The hands were white, tender and smooth, and it was obvious that they were well-maintained.
Mrs. Cheng asked everyone to sit down, and the aunt brought two cups of fresh tea.
Hao Chengbing tried to talk to Ye Jianguo: "Brother Ye, how long will you stay in Beijing? Let's get together."
Ye Jianguo thought about what Hao Yanyan had said before.
Ye Jianguo still politely declined, "We are going back to Northeast China soon."
Hao Chengbing: "Are you going back to celebrate the New Year? Then we still have a chance after the New Year."
Ye Jianguo: "I probably won't come again after the New Year."
Hearing Ye Jianguo say this, although it is regrettable, it is more of a secret joy.
This shows that Ye Jianguo has no intention of staying in Beijing for a long time.
It has no impact on their future lives.
He Qiaoxiang was also quite satisfied looking at Miao Cuifang. When she was young, she was not as pretty as her, but now, she was definitely much prettier than her.
Miao Cuifang had undergone surgery due to illness, and had been overworked for many years, so her skin did look a little rough.
After reading it, He Qiaoxiang felt relieved and finally found some sense of superiority.
I heard that he was going back to Northeast China soon, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Yanyan came to see you a few days ago. There was some misunderstanding. She is a good girl and just wanted to make your life easier, so she came with money."
He Qiaoxiang took the initiative to bring up this matter, claiming to be an explanation but in fact it was an excuse.
Ye Jianguo waved his hands, indicating that there was no need to mention this matter anymore.
"If Yanyan earns money and gives it to us, we will accept it. She is not strong enough now, so I will not accept it even if she gives us money."
This statement is a direct slap in the face. It is clearly about severing ties for money, but it is said to be filial piety to parents, which is also very ironic.
We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It's very awkward to sit together and we have nothing to talk about.
Hao Chengbing asked Ye Jianguo for the address and said, "When our old comrades organize a gathering, I will invite Brother Ye again."
In that case, Ye Jianguo did not refuse.
He really missed some people in recent years.
Ye Jianguo: "Okay."
He Qiaoxiang also said to Miao Cuifang: "Sister-in-law, if you need anything, just tell me and I will definitely help."
Miao Cuifang thought about it and realized that she really didn't need any help now. She had two children in between. The two families would not have children, but they would never be as close as a family. It was the best thing for her to keep polite appearances.
"Our family is not that difficult now."
Old Mrs. Cheng defended her and said, "If there is anything wrong with Xiaoxiao's family, we will help, and outsiders don't need to interfere."
He Qiaoxiang: “…”
The atmosphere became awkward again.
He Qiaoxiang said a few words to Hao Chengbing, then got up and left.
During the period, Hao Chengbing asked Ye Xiaoxiao a few questions, but He Qiaoxiang did not communicate at all and seemed very indifferent.
Ye Xiaoxiao and Ye Jianguo and his wife are also about to say goodbye.
"Grandpa and grandma, we are leaving now and will come to see you again after the New Year."
Mr. Lu warned: "Drive slowly on the road."
Wait for Ye Xiaoxiao and the others to leave.
Mr. Lu asked his wife, "What did Mr. and Mrs. Hao Chengbing come here for today?"
Old Lady Lu: "How would anyone know? We just bumped into each other on the road, but they seemed unkind to come over and say hello."
Mr. Lu shook his head, feeling that this couple was not very reliable.
Ye Jianguo and his wife did not feel anything about the sudden visit of Hao Chengbing and his wife. It was just reminding them of some things from their youth.
…
Since there was no need to prepare New Year's goods, Ye Xiaoxiao had been preparing things for the factory while waiting for Ye Changning to come.
In addition to Ren Jiaxing, the company already has several more employees.
Ye Xiaoxiao also had to go to meet him, but she was not going to interfere in the management of the company.
Because Ye Xiaoxiao still wanted to focus on studying medicine.
She came into this world with a golden finger, so it was too easy for her to make money.
Buy more houses, more land, and buy stocks in the future. So after temporarily solving the current financial needs, Ye Xiaoxiao thought about doing what he liked most.
Ye Changning finally arrived in Beijing ten days before the Spring Festival.
"I have to leave soon, and I will only stay at home until the second day of the New Year."
Ye Changning was very calm and told Ye Xiaoxiao about this in the car.
"That's not bad, the New Year is finally over. How is your factory going?"
Ye Changning: "Very good, it's going well. The shirt collar you mentioned has been made, but I think it should be launched in the summer."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Okay, that summer will definitely be more popular."
After returning home, Ye Changning put his things down.
Ye Xiaoxiao specifically warned the other party in advance not to buy a lot of things because they would not be able to put them in the car and the house was already piled up with New Year's goods.
Ye Changning only brought his own suitcase.
Ye Changning: "Are we really not going to buy anything when we go back?"
Ye Xiaoxiao pointed to the things in the living room and kitchen and said, "Third brother, go and take a look. There shouldn't be anything missing. I think you can send some money to Uncle Xiao and prepare whatever they need in advance."
Ye Changning: "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
"Then you take a rest tonight, and we'll set off after breakfast tomorrow morning."
Ye Jianguo and Miao Cuifang have been away from home for so long that they are eager to return home.
I said I would go back tomorrow, so I started packing now.
After Ye Changning had a good rest, Ye Xiaoxiao and Ye Changning planned the route.
It was the first time for both of them to drive home and they were not familiar with the road.
Lu Hanchuan came early the next morning and sat down to have breakfast with him.
He was also worried about them driving home alone.
"Or we can arrange for someone to take you there and then drive you back."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "No need, we'll be home soon."
If you don't take a break in between, it will be a mistake.
Because it is unsafe to drive at night. There are not so many street lights nowadays, and it is easy to fall into the ditch at night.
But when Lu Hanchuan asked her to arrange someone, Ye Xiaoxiao still refused.
It's almost the New Year now, and no one would want to go that far away.
She gave Song San a day off the day before yesterday.
Lu Hanchuan went downstairs after dinner. Ye Xiaoxiao thought he was doing something, but when he came back, there was a new car parked downstairs.
A muscular young man got out of the car.
The other person was bald and had a fierce look on his face.
Ye Xiaoxiao walked beside Hanchuan: "This is..."
"This is Cheng Peng. Let him take you back to the county town."
Lu Hanchuan put his arm around Ye Xiaoxiao's shoulders and said, "Be careful on the road."
