The three of them were working, but Ye Zhiqiu had nothing to do, so he simply fetched a bucket of hot water and went to wash himself.
Normally he wouldn't be so diligent, but since he has his wife holding him while he sleeps, he still has to be more particular.
After he finished cleaning, he washed his underwear and returned to the living room. He saw his second son and youngest sister listening attentively to Erquan Yingyue playing on the radio.
He laughed and jokingly said, "What's up? What are you doing listening so intently?"
However, the two did not answer, but raised their fingers to make a hushing gesture!
This made Ye Zhiqiu speechless. He had no idea what these two guys were doing.
Until the music was cut off and replaced by a news bulletin, Ye Bailu clapped happily and said, "I win! Did it end after two minutes and one hundred and twenty seconds? Second brother, you have to admit defeat!"
Ye Wubing took out a paper bag from his pocket with a look of disappointment, and then took out a piece of fruit hard candy and gave it to Ye Bailu, who put it directly into her mouth and started eating!
Ye Zhiqiu asked unhappily, "What's going on? Are you guys making a bet?"
The two nodded, and Ye Bailu explained, "I said that this erhu is always two minutes long and will cut off at 120 seconds, but my second brother insisted that it's impossible to be so punctual, so we made a bet with the candy we bought today."
Ye Wubing said angrily, "I don't know what's wrong with the people at the radio station. They've been so accurate three times in a row. I've lost three times."
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Little sister, you've won so many times, how many candies do you have in your pocket?"
Ye Wubing said depressedly: "How could she have any? I bought five for each person and she ate them until they were all gone."
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Second brother, you are really stupid. Since my little sister has no candy, why did you make a bet with her? Even if you win, you can't get her candy. She didn't even realize it!"
Ye Wubing was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily, "Yes! Little sister, give me back my candy!"
Ye Bailu said confidently, "I don't have any candy. How about I give you the one in my mouth?"
"Little sister, you are so young, how can you be so unreasonable?"
"Our mom never reasoned with our dad, so why should I reason with you, my second brother?"
Ye Zhiqiu lit a cigarette and watched the two of them arguing with each other. He really wanted to laugh!
Wang Fugui's departure had actually made the two of them somewhat unhappy. So seeing them like this, he didn't want to try to persuade them at all. He just let them bicker, at least that would make them feel better.
After watching them bicker for a long time, Ye Tianya came back. He ran to the kitchen for a while and then ran back to the living room. There were three women cooking over there, and he couldn't get a word in. There was no need for him to stay there and feel uncomfortable.
After closing the door, he asked, "Boss, didn't you say the factory was going to arrange a business trip for you to Sui County? Why didn't we receive a notice to reduce beer production today? After all, you're going to deploy so many transport vehicles. If you continue to produce like this, there won't be enough vehicles to transport the beer to the train station."
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "The situation has changed. We couldn't reach an agreement with the Second Textile Factory. They are so greedy that they made my uncle and the others so angry that they cursed without caring about their image.
I won't be going to work next week. I have things to do at the factory these next two days. Don't ask me anything, I can't tell you this."
Ye Tianya curled his lips and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. You're making me act like a gossip! By the way, come out with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and followed him out the door. He knew it must be his cousin coming to pay New Year's greetings, because he knew it as soon as the second brother mentioned it. It was so mysterious, who else could it be but them?
After the two of them arrived at Ye Tianya's room, he closed the door and said in a low voice with a worried look on his face, "Your eldest cousin came over on the second day of junior high school. I talked to him for a while. I wanted to pretend I didn't know. But I saw that he looked worried, so I couldn't help but reveal what I knew about them. He said they might be sent to the countryside!"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly asked, "What's going on? My aunt and the others weren't sent down to the countryside, so why were they sent down there?"
Ye Tianya pointed at the roof and said helplessly, "Your eldest cousin said that those people might not know about it, and it was the little devils down there who did it! Your eldest cousin's family might go to Guangxi, and your second cousin's family might go to Yunnan. As for your cousin, because she has a young master pursuing her, no one dared to do anything to her."
Ye Zhiqiu felt so depressed that he couldn't express it. He really didn't expect that his uncle and the others didn't do this, but his cousin and the others were bullied!
He lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then asked, "Has my eldest cousin said how to deal with this matter? Has he thought about leaving China and going to Hong Kong?"
Ye Tianya said helplessly, "I also persuaded him to go to Hong Kong first, otherwise he would not know what situation he would face after going to the countryside. But he said he couldn't run away, because that would hurt your aunt and the others. They are already having a hard time in Guangzhou."
Ye Zhiqiu smoked a cigarette. He really didn't have any good helpers to help him with this matter. But if he just watched his cousin and the others go out of town, he was really worried that something would happen...
"Dad, I'm going to find time to talk to him tomorrow. I'm really worried about them going to other provinces like this! There are so many people in the capital who can see them. If they go to other places, I'm afraid their family will have a hard time."
Ye Tianya sighed and said, "I've even thought about running away. The current environment is really getting worse and worse. I always feel that the social atmosphere is very depressing..."
Ye Zhiqiu sighed in his heart. This was exactly what happened before a storm...
He remembered that he was going to Tianjin, so he could ask Uncle Chen this time to see if they had any contact with Hong Kong, or some way to smuggle over there.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't think about going to Hong Kong, but what he wanted was to send his cousin and others to Hong Kong!
Staying here won't help Dagu, and leaving won't hurt them either! After all, they're already in this state. If they get any worse, they'll be stuck in the bullpen!
But the people above were still there, and it was impossible for them to be treated like this. So Ye Zhiqiu felt that they should leave and should not stay in the country, lest they be harmed by those little devils who wanted to take credit!
Ye Zhiqiu warned, "I have to wait until I get back from my business trip before we discuss this. This time we're not going to Suixian, but to Tianjin instead. I'll be busy with this in the next two days. When I get back from Tianjin, I'll go meet up with my cousin and have a chat. He didn't say he was leaving right away, did he?"
Ye Tianya shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that soon, but it will definitely not be long. Your cousin is also trying to contact those people. It depends on whether they can protect them. If they are unwilling to protect them, it means that the Li family has been abandoned..."
