Ye Zhiqiu explained with a smile, "Aunt Chen's red envelopes were for my second and third uncles and their wives. Wubing got more. I'm the seventh oldest in the family, and he's the tenth. His eight brothers and sisters all gave him red envelopes, plus my second uncle and his family, and some of the elders in the family, so there are so many.
But he doesn't have as much as his younger sister. She's the youngest in the family, so she has at least one more than him. The family there is really rich. My younger sister is so young, but she's already saved over ten thousand yuan. She'd have to work for many years to save that much money in Hong Kong!"
Chen Yuqing asked curiously, "Zhiqiu, if you go there, shouldn't you get more red envelopes?"
Ye Zhiqiu grinned and said, "I got a lot of red envelopes, probably around 70,000 or 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, all from distant relatives. Also, my second and third uncles, as per family custom, gave me 30,000 Hong Kong dollars a year for my pocket money. So now I have over 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars in my HSBC account. Xiaomei and I will never have to worry about food and clothing."
Chen Yuqing stared at Ye Zhiqiu in amazement. She was truly shocked. Earning a million in foreign exchange from just one trip to Hong Kong was truly terrifying. An ordinary worker wouldn't even be able to save tens of thousands of yuan in their entire lives. Was this what a capitalist was?
Ye Zhiqiu took a big mouthful of noodles and continued, "Actually, my second uncle asked our whole family to move over there because we also have a share in the family business. But this matter is decided by my father, and whether I stay or go is decided by Xiaomei. If Xiaomei wants to stay here, I will stay here with her."
Chen Yuqing didn't know what to say. If other people encountered such a situation, they would probably run to Hong Kong to live the life of a rich person!
I can only say that I have good taste and did not choose the wrong person. The man I found is indeed very reliable!
Ye Wubing asked in confusion, "Second brother, why are Second Uncle and his family so rich?"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a complicated expression, "Our grandfather was very rich. It is said that he used to run a bank. Before the fall of Nanchang, he donated all the money in the bank. That's why he was harmed by the Japanese."
"Okay, let's not talk about this heavy topic anymore. Let's eat! After I'm done, I need to take a nice bath and then get some sleep. I've been on this train for six days, and I'm so dirty now!"
"Hey, then I'll take the ticket and go look around to see if I can get some good food. We need a good meal tonight."
"It's up to you, but don't think about showing off in the clothes and shoes you brought back. Winter in Hong Kong isn't as cold as it is here, so the clothes are pretty thin. Don't catch a cold."
"Wubing, I'll help you get the ingredients later. I know a friend who should be able to buy chicken."
"Okay, let's go together."
After Ye Zhiqiu finished his noodles, he grabbed his food and ran to the bathhouse to take a bath. He scrubbed his whole body thoroughly. He hadn't scrubbed his body for over 20 days. Furthermore, the temperature in Hong Kong was around 10 degrees Celsius, occasionally soaring to around 20 degrees Celsius, so his body was indeed quite dirty.
When leaving the bathhouse, Ye Zhiqiu felt lighter all over. When he returned home, Chen Yuqing and the other person had already run out.
He ran back to his room, got into bed and quickly fell asleep. After spending so many days on the train, the clanging noise of the train had made it impossible to sleep well.
He slept until his family came back. Ye Bailu went into the room and called out to her elder brother twice in a low voice. Seeing that he didn't wake up, she took a box of biscuits and left the room.
Ye Tianya and his wife were both at the door looking at their daughter and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Is your eldest brother still not awake?"
Ye Bailu nodded and said, "I called him twice, but he didn't wake up. He must be too sleepy. After dinner is ready, let sister-in-law call him again. Now let brother sleep a little longer."
Several people nodded, and Wang Xiaolan said to Ye Tianya, "Old Ye, go get two bottles of wine and drink with your son tonight. And listen to him talk about what he saw and heard over there."
Ye Tianya smiled and nodded, "Okay, should I call my brothers over as well?"
Wang Xiaolan thought about it, then shook her head and said, "Forget it. They don't know anything, and it will be troublesome to explain it later. I still want to hear what my son has to say about what happened over there. I wonder how your second and third brothers treated him."
Ye Tianya comforted him, "Don't worry, my second and third brothers are very good people, and my sister-in-law is also a very good person. It's impossible for my son to suffer any injustice over there. Have you forgotten what the second brother said? He alone received so many red envelopes. It's just that my son hasn't woken up yet, so we don't know what the second brother and his family asked my son to bring us."
Wang Xiaolan was still a little nervous, not knowing how Old Ye's family would view her. After all, she had never thought that Old Ye, who had lived with her for so many years, was actually a wealthy young man!
She had always thought he was bragging, but now, it all turned out to be true. Wang Xiaolan felt like she was dreaming, after all, everything was so confusing.
Ye Tianya ran out to buy some wine. The wine at home was either drunk or given away as gifts. So there wasn't much wine at home, so he needed to buy a few bottles.
I'm not worried because Li Youguo and the others have recovered now and still have the bills. They have brought a lot of cigarette and alcohol tickets here.
Feng Xiaomei came back. As soon as she came back, Ye Wubing took the bicycle and said to her happily, "Sister-in-law, my brother is back, but he fell asleep after taking a bath. Why don't you go in and wake him up? It's almost time for dinner."
Feng Xiaomei said happily: "Wubing, when will your elder brother come home?"
"It was this morning, around ten o'clock! Big brother brought back a lot of things. Big sister-in-law, you should go and wake him up for dinner. No one wants to wake him up, but he still has to eat dinner."
Feng Xiaomei nodded, picked up the bag from the cart basket, and walked back to her room. She closed the door, hung up her bag, and saw the person she missed day and night sleeping soundly.
Seeing him sleeping with his mouth open, I couldn't help but smile, and then pinched his nose!
Ye Zhiqiu opened his eyes and saw Feng Xiaomei smiling. He smiled again and pulled her over, saying viciously, "Okay, you're making trouble while I'm asleep. Let me show you how Master Ye will deal with you!"
What could he do to her? At most, he could just kiss her so passionately that she couldn't breathe! Feng Xiaomei slapped Ye Zhiqiu's claws away and gasped for a long time before she recovered.
She rolled her eyes at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "It's time to eat. Hurry up and get up!"
Ye Zhiqiu chuckled, still hugging Feng Xiaomei, and said with emotion: "I've been away for so many days, I miss you so much!"
Feng Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then she replied softly, "I miss you too. I've been wondering why you haven't come back yet..."
