211 Return to the Human World
◎Ye Zhizhi stared blankly.◎
Ye Zhizhi was looking forward to the heavy snow. She waited for the whole night, and at dawn the next day, she ran downstairs excitedly and rushed into the snow.
It was still snowing and the wind was blowing coldly.
She ran wildly in the snow for a while, attracting the Husky in the doghouse. It ran around behind Ye Zhizhi, howling from time to time.
Ye Zhizhi turned to look at Erha, and in a trance, she seemed to see a little wolf, running around happily in the snow. Unfortunately, it was an illusion. It was not a wolf, and this was not a jungle.
Ye Zhizhi lowered his head and took a closer look, then pushed the snow with his feet. The snow was too light. After a whole night of snow, it only barely covered his ankles.
The snow in the jungle can reach knee-deep in just one night. It's so heavy that it's difficult for people and animals to walk outdoors. The snow will hit their faces and even their eyes will be unable to open.
The wind, rain, thunder and lightning here are all gentle, even the snow.
Yu Jingyao took out a coat and put it on Ye Zhizhi who was standing in the snow. "It's cold, wear more." Seeing her daughter dressed so thinly, she ran outside with a worried look.
Ye Zhizhi didn't feel cold, but he didn't refuse Yu Jingyao's kindness and put on his coat.
Ye Zhiyan also came out and said, "It's snowing heavily this year." He was holding a light gray plush scarf in his hand. After walking over, he wrapped it around Ye Zhizhi's neck and wrapped her tightly.
Ye Zhizhi: "..." She looked at Ye Zhiyan, then at Yu Jingyao, loosened the scarf around her mouth, and pulled it down. She already felt hot.
"This is the heaviest snowfall in recent years. It's only the first day and the snow is already so thick. If the snow gets heavier, we need to be more careful when going out."
"You too."
In such cold weather, it is often windy and snowy outside, and the roads are icy. It takes them almost an hour to get to work every day, which is quite troublesome. In the past, they lived in a house near the company, and Ye Zhiyan would only come back here during the Chinese New Year or when he was free, but they were happy with it.
However, it is not necessary to go to the company every day now. Several projects that Ye Zhiyan is working on are already being completed, so he can just hand them over to his subordinates. Some documents that must be signed can be sent to his home by his assistant.
Yu Jingyao's work has also come to an end. They finished their progress some time ago, so they can free up most of their time this winter.
While listening to them talk, Ye Zhizhi stared at the white snow on the ground and thought to himself, this is not enough snow to make a snowman. I wonder how long it will snow. Should I wait a little longer?
"Good morning, Madam, Master and Miss."
Three servants came over with cleaning tools. When they saw their employers standing in the gate yard, they greeted them respectfully.
"Zhizhi, let's go back to the house?" They were standing outside, disturbing them from cleaning the yard.
Ye Zhizhi turned her head to look at their tools. Did they mean to clear all the snow outside? She immediately shook her head, "No." She was still thinking about waiting for more snow to accumulate so she could build a snowman! If she had to clear it every day, how long would it take her?
"Then don't sweep it." Yu Jingyao said.
Ye Zhiyan nodded, then told the servants that there was no need to clear the snow outside.
The servants responded and then left.
Yu Jingyao coaxed again: "This snow will stay here forever, let's go inside first, otherwise it will get colder and colder."
Ye Zhizhi watched for a while and saw that the color of Yu's mother's lips had changed due to the cold. If she didn't go into the house, she probably wouldn't let Yu's mother and her little brother go in either, so she walked back.
After returning to the house, hot tea was served.
They sat on the sofa and waited for a while, and then breakfast was brought to the table.
They all got up early today and haven't had breakfast yet.
Ye Lang had just come downstairs. He was dressed in formal attire and was quite surprised to see so many people gathered. "So early?"
He sat down at the table and asked Ye Zhizhi softly, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Ye Zhizhi nodded, holding a big bun and chewing it, but he was absent-minded and still thinking about the snow outside.
"Zhizhi, do you really not want to spend the winter somewhere else?" They had almost finished their work, and their main purpose was to free up these few months so that the family could spend a warm winter in a place with a suitable climate. Kyoto was even colder this year.
However, Ye Zhizhi didn't want to move, so he didn't go.
Ye Lang and the others did not force it. He also remembered Ye Zhizhi's strong reaction when they were on the plane that day. If they wanted to go to the south to spend the winter abroad, flying was the fastest way. Other means of transportation took too long and were equally painful.
They couldn't bear to let her suffer again, so it was better for her to stay at home.
We still have to wait until the Ye family’s new product comes out and try out the effects before we talk about going out.
They have also been busy with one thing during this period: acquiring a company that makes silent equipment, raising funds and investing, and inviting researchers in this field, with the intention of making silent equipment that is better than those on the market.
This was what Ye Zhiyan had first thought of, and then took action to do. Ye Zhiyan didn't have many assets of his own. Apart from what the Ye and Yu families had given him, he only had some companies and businesses that he had tried to invest in since he became an adult.
These businesses were profitable and thriving, but they were nothing compared to the Ye and Yu families. Ye Zhiyan knew that his father and mother were sorting out their own assets, preparing to transfer most of them to Ye Zhizhi, and had already consulted him.
Ye Zhiyan didn't object to this. He just felt that what he gave was not enough, and he also wanted to give something to his sister.
He couldn't compete with his parents financially, so he had to find a shortcut. His sister's hearing and sense of smell were too sensitive, and she was often troubled by noise, so Ye Zhiyan wanted to develop a better product.
However, after Ye Lang learned about this, he asked him to raise funds and make acquisitions in the name of the Ye family so that the company could grow bigger and stronger as quickly as possible.
Some cutting-edge technologies are more in the hands of the government. When they enter a new industry, they naturally need to spend more time and effort.
The reason why they were so busy recently and went out almost every day was actually because of this incident.
The Ye Group is not involved in any related industries. It is like a mountain between two different industries, and all aspects such as personal connections and resources have to be explored again, which is equivalent to starting from scratch.
But now it has come to an end. All the preliminary work has been completed, and the new company is on the right track. It just depends on when the R&D department will produce new results.
The Ye family was happy to hire a big shot in the related industry. They already had a lot of technology in their hands, and with the cooperation of the national research institute, they would surely be able to come up with something soon. Then when Ye Zhizhi goes out, he won't be affected too much by the noise.
After finishing his breakfast, Ye Zhiyan held a cup of soy milk in his hand and took a sip from time to time. He looked at Ye Zhizhi and suddenly suggested, "Why don't we have hot pot tonight?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Jingyao responded immediately, "It's nice to eat hot pot in this kind of weather."
Ye Lang nodded, "It's really good."
The three of them looked at Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi thought about it and nodded, saying that hot pot was also delicious.
"Let's have a hot pot and have fun. We can invite some young people to join us and stay overnight at home. We can also have fun for a few more days."
"Let me ask who's free." Ye Zhiyan looked at Ye Zhizhi, "Is there anyone you want to invite?"
Ye Zhizhi tilted his head, "Duoduo."
"Besides Duoduo, is there anything else?"
Ye Zhizhi couldn't think of anyone to come, so Yu Jingyao said, "Although Duoduo also lives here, she still needs a formal invitation, otherwise she will be embarrassed to come. Zhizhi, then you will be responsible for inviting Duoduo."
Qian Duoduo usually doesn't come to have breakfast with them. They are afraid that she will feel uncomfortable and like she is living under someone else's roof, so they come early every day to wait for her. Only at noon, Qian Duoduo will come specially to have lunch with Ye Zhizhi, play together, and then go back to the guest room in the afternoon.
Qian Duoduo knew that the Ye family didn't mind her living at home, but she still had a sense of propriety. Ye Zhizhi had just returned home, and the Ye family was trying to build relationships with her, so it wouldn't be good for her to stand in the way all the time.
Qian Duoduo didn't come to disturb me during the quiet times in the morning and evening when I could spend time with my family.
It was simply settled like that, and Ye Zhiyan immediately said, "Then I'll contact my friends and see if anyone is free to come over tonight."
The time was rather unexpected, as others might have already made plans, but they didn't force it. They just made it a casual invitation, an ordinary hotpot. Whoever was free could come, and if not, they could wait for the next opportunity.
The people Ye Zhiyan would invite were all very familiar relatives and friends, so even if it was a bit abrupt, no one would have any objections.
Seeing that they started preparing for the hot pot in the evening after breakfast, Ye Zhizhi went to the guest house to find Qian Duoduo and formally invite her.
Qian Duoduo naturally had no objection and agreed readily, saying that he would definitely come over in the evening.
This impromptu hotpot banquet was also very lively. Although some people really didn't have time to come, there were also people who had no plans in the evening and hurried over to keep the appointment as soon as they heard the invitation.
Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, Ye Zhizhi rarely smiled and enjoyed the hotpot very much.
After the hot pot, Ye Zhizhi waited patiently for four days. On the fifth day, the snow had begun to subside, and the snow outside the house was knee-deep.
Only a path was shoveled out outside the house for people to go back and forth, and the snow in other places had not been cleared. The outside looked white, and the small potted plants and other bushes had been buried in the snow.
If you ignore the human buildings and only look at the environment in the woods, it feels a bit like a winter jungle.
Ye Zhizhi looked up at the sky. She didn't need to check the weather forecast to know that the snow would probably stop in two days, and after that, there wouldn't be much more snow.
Ye Zhizhi decided to start building a snowman now!
She had already set her sights on the huge lawn behind the main building, which she could see from her window.
This was not Ye Zhizhi's first time piling up animals. Practice makes perfect, and she quickly and skillfully made a lying animal.
There was still too little snow, so she had no choice but to make a smaller version. Otherwise, even if she brought all the snow from this area, it would not be enough for her to make it.
Everyone came out to make snowmen this time. Even on a cold and snowy day, the activity was bustling with activity. Qian Duoduo and Yu Jingyao helped Ye Zhizhi, while the servants at home brought clean snow from other places.
The first thing Ye Zhizhi built was the wolf mother. She tried hard to make its body look majestic and domineering, and its expression was quite similar to the one in her memory.
She stared blankly.
"Zhizhi..."
Yu Jingyao rolled up a ball of snow with her gloved hands, turned around and looked at Ye Zhizhi. Seeing her expression and movements at that moment, the rest of the words disappeared on her lips.
