On Labor Day in 1981, Ye Zhi's school had a day off.
That day, Ye Zhenhua came to Guangzhou from Qiongzhou Island and brought Ye Zhi a lot of bill lists, which were all accounts receivable and payable since his cooperation with Gong Yuqiong last year.
Ye Zhi went back to Qiongzhou Island at the end of last year to check out the farms and small clothing factories.
But Ye Zhi was already a junior student and was very busy with her studies, so she was responsible for compiling the financial statistics of the breeding farm and the small clothing factory, while Ye Zhenhua helped manage the breeding farm.
Because of the huge demand for seafood from Gong Yuqiong's seafood company in Hong Kong, the farm's half-year income exceeded the annual profit of the small clothing factory.
Ye Zhi sat at the dinner table counting numbers, while Ye Zhenhua and Lu Wei took the children to play in the yard.
It was not until noon that Ye Zhi sorted out all the data and made a clear and concise financial report. After sorting out her things, Ye Zhi folded the bills one by one and put them back into the bag that Ye Zhenhua brought.
Ye Zhi washed her hands and walked out to the yard.
Ye Zhenhua and Lu Wei were playing football with a few children. Summer came early in Guangzhou. Although it was only May, everyone had already changed into summer clothes and was sweating profusely.
Especially Nian Nian Sui Sui, An An, and Ye Xiao Ding, not only their foreheads were covered with sweat, but their backs were also wet.
Pingping didn't like running around, so he sat in the gazebo and drew with crayons.
Ping Ping saw Ye Zhi coming out of the house, and immediately raised her voice and shouted, "Mom, come here and look at the painting I drew."
Ye Zhi walked towards Ping Ping and saw her drawing a group of people playing football on a piece of white paper. Although the drawing was not very good, Ye Zhi could not help but encourage her: "This is what we, Ping Ping, drew? It's really beautiful. Is this a picture of people playing football?"
Pingping heard it and nodded, saying with a proud tone, "Yes!"
Then, Pingping pointed at the people in the painting and said, "This is dad, this is my third uncle, this is my oldest brother..."
"The two shorter ones are my brothers, and the girl with long hair is An An."
Ye Zhi praised Ping Ping's painting, "It's a beautiful painting. There's even a flower on An An's head."
Ping Ping smiled and said, "The one on An An's head is a crown. It's the crown on the Barbie doll's head."
Speaking of Crown, Gong Yuqiong originally planned to come to Guangzhou during the Chinese New Year, but later she did not come because of some company matters.
Later, Gong Yuqiong sent two exquisite Barbie dolls from Hong Kong, saying they were New Year gifts for Pingping and Anan.
The two little ones loved them as soon as they saw them. They even wanted to be held in Ye Aiguo's arms when they slept. Ye also asked Ye Aiguo to make a small bed for the two dolls. On weekends, they loved to play house games with the two Barbie dolls.
What they like most is to change the doll's clothes and put on various pink dresses.
Ye Zhi hugged Ping Ping, kissed her round face hard, and said, "What a beautiful crown."
Pingping said with a smile: "Mom, I will draw you a picture later. I will draw you a better-looking crown."
Ye Zhi: "Okay, thank you my little baby."
When Lu Wei saw Ye Zhi coming out of the house, he stopped and walked towards Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi looked at his sticky sweaty body and didn't show any disdain. She walked forward, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked, "Are you tired? Have some water first."
Nian Nian and Sui Sui, who were following behind Lu Wei, saw Ye Zhi wiping Lu Wei's sweat. They immediately crossed their arms and looked at Ye Zhi angrily, saying, "Mom is partial. She only wipes Dad's sweat and not us!"
"Yes, Mom loves Dad, not us!"
Lu Wei let out a light sigh, took the water handed to him by Ye Zhi, and drank the glass in one breath.
After Lu Wei drank the water, he handed it to An An, who was standing behind him and breathing silently.
Ye Zhi listened to Niannian Suisui's words and felt a little amused. She then walked to Niannian Suisui's side, half squatted down to wipe the sweat off the two little guys, and then handed them a kettle: "Hurry up and drink some water. You look so red in the face. If you don't want to play later, go back to your room and change your clothes."
Ye Zhi touched the wet little heads of several children and planned to wipe the sweat off their heads later.
Nian Nian and Sui Sui gulped down a few big gulps of boiled water, choked twice, started coughing violently, then ran into the house, saying they were going to change clothes.
Ye Xiaoding and Ye Zhenhua were at the other end of the pavilion. They wiped themselves with a towel and filled half a bottle of water.
Everyone sat under the pavilion and planned to take a rest here.
Ye Zhi held Pingping, who was still drawing, and sat down next to Lu Wei. Then she turned to Ye Zhenhua and told him about the financial report that had just been processed.
Ye Zhenhua took a sip of tea and nodded, "Little sister, it's enough for you to know the profit situation. If there is still room for improvement, then continue to do it."
Ye Zhi chuckled: "Of course I can do it. The farm has only been open for half a year and I have already made more than 2,000 yuan. It is more profitable than my clothing factory."
Ye Zhi thought of the Hong Kong dramas she had watched on TV before. No wonder those who deal in seafood can become wealthy. If this industry really becomes big and strong, they can really make a lot of money.
The two chatted about the development and management of the farm. At the end, Ye Zhenhua said, "I have to go to Shisanhang. You don't have to cook for me tonight. I will probably go back to Qiongzhou Island directly."
Then, Ye Zhenhua patted Ye Xiaoding, who was eating a popsicle, and said, "The college entrance examination is coming soon. Study hard. When you are tired of studying, you should also know how to relax."
Ye Xiaoding nodded and said, "I understand, Dad."
When Ye Zhi saw Ye Zhenhua preparing to walk out of the yard, she stopped him and said, "Third brother."
When Ye Zhenhua heard Ye Zhi's call, he paused and looked back at her: "Huh?"
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Sister Yuqiong said she will go to Yangcheng tomorrow, so why don't you meet her?"
The brothers and sisters of the Ye family are all good-looking. Although Ye Zhenhua is a little tanned, his tall and straight figure adds a lot of points to him.
Especially in recent years, the prospects for the island's aquaculture industry have been getting better day by day, and he is full of energy.
Ye Zhi also recently noticed that every time Gong Yuqiong contacted her, she would intentionally or unintentionally ask about Ye Zhenhua's situation. It was obvious that the two of them communicated more at work, but Gong Yuqiong often asked her about Ye Zhenhua's emotional issues.
Gong Yuqiong said that she admired Ye Zhenhua's seriousness and responsibility in work. Although she didn't reveal much else, Ye Zhi could tell that she seemed to have that intention.
However, her third brother's attitude didn't seem so clear.
Ye Zhi took this opportunity to find out more.
Ye Zhenhua, who was about to leave, felt uncomfortable for a moment after hearing Ye Zhi's words. He turned his head away slightly and said, "Maybe I don't have time."
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "The farm is now on track, so it won't be a problem if you go back a day or two later. Sister Yuqiong said that she came to Yangcheng this time just to treat you to a meal. She said she wanted to thank you for providing her with such a good source of goods at an affordable price in the past six months."
Ye Zhenhua hesitated for a moment, and Ye Xiaoding said seriously: "Dad, Aunt Gong obviously wants to see you."
Lu Wei looked at Ye Xiaoding and suddenly asked Ye Xiaoding in a gossipy voice: "How do you know?"
Ye Xiaoding came to Lu Wei's side and said, "The night I came back from vacation, I heard my aunt talking to Aunt Gong on the phone. Aunt Gong said she had something to ask my father."
Lu Wei smacked his lips and instantly felt uncomfortable.
This actually happened, why didn’t his wife tell him?
Ye Zhenhua had a hint of embarrassment on his face. He glanced at Ye Xiaoding and said in panic, "Gossip."
Then, he scratched the back of his head and said to Ye Zhi, "Then I'll go back tomorrow."
"Okay." Ye Zhi smiled: "Then should I get you a new set of clothes from the clothing factory?"
Ye Zhenhua cleared his throat and said, "No need to bother. I'll go over first."
As soon as Ye Zhenhua left, Lu Wei asked Ye Xiaoding, "Xiaoding, do you mind if your father looks for you again?"
The sixteen-year-old Ye Xiaoding already looks like an adult. His height has grown to 1.8 meters, and he is now almost as tall as Lu Wei. After hearing what Lu Wei said, he said without thinking: "I don't mind. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. Besides, he is my father. I hope he can be happy."
Besides, Ye Zhenhua has been focusing on his work these years, so it would be nice to have a companion.
It was just that Aunt Gong seemed to be very rich, richer than he had imagined.
When Lu Wei heard what Ye Xiaoding said, he subconsciously wanted to touch his head, but when he met Ye Xiaoding's eyes, Lu Wei felt for the first time that the little boy who was only as tall as his waist had now grown into a little adult.
Lu Wei patted his shoulder instead and said, "It's good that you think so."
Ye Xiaoding sighed: "I just feel that my father is marrying above his station and is not worthy of Aunt Gong."
Niannian and Suisui were licking their popsicles. When they heard what Ye Xiaoding said, they also said, "My father is not worthy of my mother. My mother is so beautiful, and she has a lot of money. My father only has 300 yuan in his bankbook..."
Lu Wei: “…”
They are all heartbreaking!
That night, Lu Wei coaxed Ping Ping and An An to sleep in the next room before returning to his room.
Ye Zhi had just finished taking a shower and was drying her wet hair.
Lu Wei hugged her waist from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and asked, "What's going on between your third brother and that Ms. Gong?"
Ye Zhi chuckled when she heard this. Gossip is indeed human nature, so she did not hide it and said, "Hasn't the third brother sent goods to Hong Kong several times? I guess they have become friends after a few interactions."
Because Gong Yuqiong wanted so much seafood, each time the minimum quantity was 10,000 kilograms. As the person in charge, Ye Zhenhua certainly didn't feel comfortable sending the goods out like that, so he would follow Gong Yuqiong's company's ships to deliver the goods to Hong Kong every time.
I guess the two met a few times and something happened.
But Ye Zhi doesn't know about it yet. Gong Yuqiong just called her a few days ago and asked her to ask Ye Zhenhua to come to Yangcheng, saying that she wanted to have dinner with him and have a good chat.
Ye Zhi didn't ask too much and planned to wait for her to come over and then ask her what was going on.
Seeing Ye Zhi wiping her hair and still reading, Lu Wei picked her up by the waist, then gently put her on the bed and leaned forward, "Stop reading all day, go see your man."
Ye Zhi put her arms around Lu Wei's neck, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Okay, let's stop looking and look at my brother Wei."
Since opening the breeding farm, Ye Zhi has been busier than before. She has to deal with matters there, and every time Ye Zhenhua comes to deliver goods, she has to go with him. The couple haven't seen each other for nearly half a month.
Moreover, this holiday was only for one day, and Lu Wei had to take a day off to stay one more day. Of course, Ye Zhi also wanted to chat with Lu Wei.
Lu Wei kissed Ye Zhi's sweet little mouth fiercely, biting it gently while saying, "So sweet."
Then, after a familiar exploration, Ye Zhi couldn't help but shiver and let out a moan.
Ye Zhi felt a little itchy on her neck and asked again, "Do you think there is a possibility between my third brother and Ms. Gong?"
Lu Wei pushed up her clothes and saw the jade-like body, which was whiter than the bright moon in the sky. She answered perfunctorily, "I don't know." But her hands did not stop moving.
Ye Zhi's mind gradually became confused. She responded to him subconsciously and had no mind to think about anything else.
Just as the two were getting into the mood, the door was twisted open for some reason, and two short figures with loose hair suddenly appeared.
An An rubbed his eyes and asked, "Mom, I wet the bed again. I want to sleep with you."
Pingping, still holding the doll in her hand, had already walked over first. Looking at the two people with disheveled clothes, she said, "Dad, why are you pressing on Mom? Did Mom do something wrong?"
Lu Wei: “…”
