Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1827 Progress
Pei shouted and rushed over to fight back, also calling for help.

The twins, fighting one, instantly overwhelmed Ye Chengyang.

When Lin Xiuqing came out of the kitchen, she saw that it was clearly her own son who had been beaten. "You two are crying wolf! Stop fighting!"

"My cousin hit me first."

"You two are fighting me..."

"Ah Dong, you need to do something about this..."

Ye Yaodong calmly lit a cigarette with a lighter. "Then come on over, you're all idiots. Let's just set you all on fire."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ye Xiaoxi laughed the loudest.

"You three are all good-for-nothings..."

Ye Chengyang seized the opportunity to extricate himself, saying, "Those two are the real fools, I'm not."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and rubbed her forehead, then went back into the kitchen, too lazy to bother with them.

After the family had a lively dinner, Ye Chenghu rode his bicycle to take his girlfriend home.

"Your house is so lively! Your dad is so funny; he can even joke around with you. Aren't you afraid of your dad?"

"What about your dad?"

“My dad is very serious. I rarely talk to him; I talk to my mom most of the time.”

"Huh? Aren't you talking to your dad?"

"He's speechless. All he ever says is to tell me to study hard, that's all. He's also very serious and doesn't talk much. We're all afraid of him."

“My dad also tells us to study hard, but he also jokes with us, plays with us, and plays with us.”

Ye Chenghu thought for a moment and then said, "It might be a habit my grandfather developed. My dad often talks back to my grandparents. I heard that my dad used to be unreliable too, and my grandparents were very disappointed in him."

“Even now, my grandfather often tells people that my dad could carry a load of grain all the way down into the ditch, he was useless at everything but could never get enough to eat…”

Zheng Shuya was so surprised she could hardly believe it. "I didn't realize your dad was so successful, and he's also very kind and approachable."

“My dad also reformed himself and turned over a new leaf, otherwise we wouldn’t have the good life we ​​have now.”

Ye Chenghu revealed all about his father without any hesitation.

Ye Yaodong returned to Zhoushan the next day to get things done.

As soon as I arrived at the factory, I heard that Ye Chenghe had beaten up Lin Guangwen, and Lin Guangwen, with a bruised and swollen face, was driving to work wearing a mask.

"...He said that when he came back from get off work in the evening, he saw Jingjing and Awen walking out of the factory. He thought it was strange, so he followed them. Then, I don't know what happened, but they started fighting, and we couldn't stop them."

"what happens?"

"I don't know. I asked them, but neither of them would say. Anyway, I heard that Wen and Jingjing are dating, and they seem to be doing well."

"Tsk, being in a good position makes it easy for Lin Guangwen to get the moon.

Mr. Ye nodded, "It's too good for him, but Jingjing is getting older, she's 20 now, it's time to find someone. Awen is someone we know well, he's better than just finding someone outside."

"I'll ask them again when I run into them."

Ye Yaodong didn't encounter the two fighting, but he saw Ye Jingjing every day, since the finance department would come to him as soon as he returned.

After finishing his business, he asked curiously, "I heard Chenghe beat up Lin Guangwen? Why? Was it because you two were dating?"

Ye Jingjing's face flushed red. "It's nothing, it's just that my second brother seems to be having some trouble accepting it."

"Why can't you accept it? Isn't it great? You two are free to date, what's it to him? You're already twenty, can't you date? He himself was already ruining female classmates when he was a teenager."

"Don't worry about him, it'll be over soon anyway."

After saying that, she packed up her documents and ran away.

Ye Yaodong didn't take it to heart until two days later, when a pig-like scream came from outside the dormitory.

He was about to go to sleep when he got up to check and found that the sound was coming from his nephews' dormitories.

"...Damn it, Lin Guangwen, if you've got the guts, don't come back to sleep tonight..."

"Then I'll go find Jingjing..."

"Damn it..." Ye Chenghe's anger surged to his head, and he immediately rushed over again.

Lin Guangwen, shirtless, swiftly hid behind Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong was pushed to the front to face the furious Ye Chenghe, while some workers who hadn't started work yet watched curiously from the corridor.

"What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"It's none of my business! He started hitting me as soon as I got back!"

"What are you doing, Ye Chenghe? Why are you so angry?"

Ye Chenghe pointed at Lin Guangwen behind Ye Yaodong and said, "You get in here first, and stop making a fool of yourself outside."

"Then promise not to hit me."

"Get in here first."

Ye Yaodong walked towards the dormitory first, and Lin Guangwen followed him into the dormitory.

As soon as he entered, he jumped to the very back, keeping a safe distance from Ye Chenghe.

There were only the two of them in the dormitory at the moment. Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe were taking turns and were outside, while Lin Guangming and his wife lived in their own home in the family compound after getting married.

Chen Xiuni is at home breastfeeding her second son, who was just born in June and is still breastfeeding, so she can't come here. There are only a few months left until the Chinese New Year, so Ye Chenghe has been staying in the dormitory all year, which is more lively and has some company.

After they entered, Ye Chenghe immediately closed the dormitory door and windows to prevent others from hearing or seeing them.

Ye Yaodong was about to ask why they were making a scene again when he turned to look at Lin Guangwen and instantly understood why he had been beaten.

He got lipstick all over his mouth, he deserved to be hit, he didn't even bother to wipe it clean.

Ye Chenghe angrily pointed at Lin Guangwen, "Third Uncle, look at him, doesn't he deserve a beating?"

"Well, it's normal for young people to get carried away when they're in love. It's just a kiss..."

Lin Guangwen wiped his mouth, the lipstick smudged even more, and he immediately understood why he had been beaten again that night.

"Hehe... Brother-in-law, don't be like that. If you're angry, I'll have my parents go to your house to propose marriage during the New Year."

"Damn it, don't even think about it. Make Jingjing break up with you right now."

"What a great man I am! Shouldn't you be secretly thrilled to be your brother-in-law?"

"You shameless old pervert, you read porn all day long, you have a bunch of porn magazines hidden on your bed, especially those featuring big boobs, you're full of dirty thoughts, and you even dare to target my sister..."

Ye Chenghe grew angrier the more he scolded Lin Guangwen. Did he not know Lin Guangwen's background?

He's just a shameless old pervert.

"My sister is so well-behaved and honest, and you actually secretly hooked up with her behind my back. If I hadn't happened to come back and saw it a few days ago, I wouldn't have known. You're a thief, a womanizer, deceiving innocent girls."

"You shameless old lecher! Last time I saw you hugging and kissing Jingjing, you son of a bitch..."

Ye Chenghe got angry as he spoke, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to rush up and hit someone again.

Lin Guangwen panicked and quickly scrambled up the stairs. He only felt a little relieved when he saw Ye Yaodong stop him.

"No, so what if I'm only a little bit lecherous? Aren't you lecherous? If you weren't lecherous, your wife would have given birth to one child after another..."

"You fucking said I was married..."

"I'm in a relationship too. I don't have any other bad hobbies or vices. So what if I'm a lecher? Don't you have big-breasted girls magazines in bed? Don't you read porn too? You even asked me to read porn with you. You even discussed breasts and butts with me."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"That's a different matter. You can't be a pervert like that with my sister. She's so innocent. You were kissing her. If I hadn't seen it, would you have touched her instead? I saw you touching her waist and back."

"We are adults, we are dating..."

"Don't give me any nonsense. We're breaking up tomorrow, and you're not allowed to see her again."

"No separation, I'll go to your house to propose tomorrow, and we'll get married and sleep together during the New Year."

Ye Chenghe was enraged again and wanted to rush up and kill him.

A perfectly healthy cabbage is about to be devoured by this lecherous old man; he's furious!

"No way! You better behave yourself!"

Ye Yaodong was at his wit's end trying to stop them, so he gave up.

He rushed straight to Lin Guangwen, who quickly climbed onto the upper bunk.

The two of them were entangled in various ways, one on top and one on the bottom, making the bed shake.

"I don't care if you fight to the death, just don't break the bed. If you do, you'll have to pay for it."

One of them was stubborn and provocative, while the other was foul-mouthed and easily angered. They went back and forth, and no one had time to listen to him.

Ye Yaodong silently opened the door and went out, then closed it again, letting them do whatever they wanted, since they couldn't kill him anyway.

Luckily, their dormitory room was right next to his. They chose the very corner, with one or two empty rooms next to it. A little further on, the people who had watched the commotion would have closed their doors and gone to sleep.

He went straight to sleep.

It wasn't until the second day that Ye Chenghe was seen going to the cafeteria for breakfast, and he even packed some to go.

"reconciled?"

"Last night, Lin Guangwen fell from the top bunk and broke his leg. I had to carry him to the hospital to get a cast. Damn it, I'll have to take care of his food and drink from now on."

Ye Yaodong frowned. "Is it that serious?"

"It's not serious. You'll be fine after lying down for a month or so. You didn't break your third leg, so it's good that you can't move anything while lying down. You can stay still now."

"I gonna go see."

"He told me to ask you for a long leave of absence and to come back to work after the New Year."

Ye Yaodong looked at him reproachfully, "You can make a scene, and you can be unhappy, but you can't let him break his leg."

"He fell off the top bunk on his own. He was running around on his own, so he deserved it. I didn't hit him."

"That's your responsibility too. The next few months are your responsibility to take care of things."

"That's fine, you can behave now."

Ye Chenghe was initially startled and a little nervous and worried, but once he carried her out of the hospital, he felt relieved. The fall was just right and wouldn't harm his sister.

Ye Yaodong went to the dormitory to check on Lin Guangwen, and heard him call out with his eyes closed, "You're back? Call Jingjing over to visit me! I'm hurt by love, you can't break us up again..."

Ye Chenghe sneered, "Perfect timing, let's break up."

"Okay, let's get married during the New Year. If you break my leg, you'll have to give me a wife in return."

"If you keep nagging, I'll break your third leg, then you'll see how you get married."

Lin Guangwen squeezed his legs together, crossing them, "Jingjing's future happiness still depends on me..."

Seeing Ye Chenghe's fierce gaze, he obediently shut his mouth.

Seeing that he could still show off, Ye Yaodong was relieved. "It doesn't look serious. Even if you break another leg, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Something's wrong, Uncle. Could you please let Jingjing know for me? Ye Chenghe definitely won't tell her, and I can't leave right now. What if Jingjing thinks I'm deliberately disappearing..."

"It's none of my business. Since you're capable of doing it, you should take care of her family."

"I may be a little lecherous, but isn't that a common flaw among men everywhere? I was just a little impatient, but I didn't do anything I couldn't do..."

Seeing Ye Chenghe's unfriendly gaze, he shrank back and dared not say anything more.

Now he is the fish on the chopping block, and others are the butcher's knife.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Ye Yaodong left immediately after looking at it. The fact that he could still think about women meant it wasn't that serious. It's good that he's behaving himself since he broke his leg.

If I can play the victim and gain the sympathy of my elder brother and sister-in-law's family, it might work out during the New Year.

Although he can't go to work because of his broken leg, it won't affect his work. He has plenty of people who can drive, so he can just arrange for someone to fill in.

During his occasional phone calls with Lin Xiuqing, he also mentioned this matter.

Lin Xiuqing didn't know what to say for a moment. They were both her nephews, and she thought it was a good thing.

"I think it's good that Awen is dating Jingjing. They're family, they know each other well, and they've hit it off on their own. There's no need for anyone else to force them together. Isn't that great? Why is Chenghe reacting so strongly?"

"Maybe... you feel betrayed, and that your sister was taken advantage of and suffered a loss?"

Whether you saw it with your own eyes or were completely unaware of it, if you saw your sister being taken advantage of by a lecherous friend, wouldn't you be emotionally agitated?
"How did you suffer a loss?"

"They saw them kissing, and maybe they even saw them touching each other?"

"Then he deserved to be beaten."

"Let them develop freely, we'll just wait for the results."

"They've all found partners, and now only Ah Jiang is still single."

"It's not meant to be; let him find someone himself."

Lin Xiuqing changed the subject, "Your son said he's taking Zheng Shuya to Zhoushan for two days this weekend, and they'll take a boat there on Friday afternoon."

"Okay, he knows it very well. Let him bring his own people to play. It's up to him whether they stay outside or in the factory."

"How can you live outside? It's not good and it's not safe. Just live in the factory and share a dormitory with Jingjing and the others. They're all girls, so you can get to know each other better."

"It's up to your son to decide. Why should I care so much?"

"Both children are quite young, so we need to keep an eye on them and pay attention to their safety."

"Alright, let Ye Chengjiang or Ye Chenghe take turns leading the fun."

"Ah."

Ye Chenghu happily brought Zheng Shuya to Zhou City on Friday evening. In the afternoon, they even took a minor class off.

She was stunned by the myriad fishing lights on the dock as soon as she disembarked.

As Ye Chenghu walked, he introduced the ship to her and led her to the port where his large ship was docked. Pointing to the Pioneer, he said, "This is my ship. This is the second ship. It should have just docked today and is still unloading cargo. You're lucky. Usually, there are cargo ships docking every three or four days. The other dozens of ships are at sea right now."

She was stunned, staring in shock at the massive ship before her.

"So big, dozens of them?"

“Some are not this big. The boats in my family are divided into near-shore fishing boats, deep-sea fishing boats, and fresh catch boats. There are also a few of these big ones that are still under construction in the shipyard and have not been delivered yet. I can drive this boat. I have been on this boat for two years.”

Zheng Shuya looked at him with admiration, "Ye Chenghu, you are really amazing, you can even sail such a big ship?"

Ye Chenghu straightened his back, full of vigor, and said, "My father raised me well. My father is my idol, and I want to follow his example."

"Now I finally understand why the boys in my class always teased you and called you Young Master Ye back in high school."

"It's not too late for you to know now."

"Ha ha……"

Ye Chenghu led her closer to the unloading area and greeted people he knew.

He then pointed to a row of large Jiefang trucks parked around the area, waiting to be loaded, and said, "These are all my trucks. There are also a few more at another loading and unloading dock, loading and unloading goods from the nearshore area. This is the deep-water port unloading area..."

He spoke eloquently, his whole being radiant, and he even exchanged a few words with the workers who came over to say hello. Zheng Shuya looked at him with stars in her eyes and full of admiration.

“It’s getting dark and too late. Let’s go to the factory first and sleep in the dormitory tonight. You’ll share a room with my cousin and the others. I’ll show you around tomorrow.”

"Okay, it's up to you."

Ye Chenghu was overjoyed, holding the little hand.

When they arrived at the factory, the security guard greeted them promptly, "Hey, Mr. Ye's here. Don't you have school tomorrow?"

Ye Chenghu beamed, "No classes tomorrow, it's the weekend, I'm bringing my classmates over for a couple of days."

"Have you eaten yet? The cafeteria is probably out of food. You can go and order a couple of dishes."

He nodded, thanked her, and then pulled Zheng Shuya toward the cafeteria, introducing the factory to her as they walked.

"...Only the motorcycles are still in the factory right now. I'll take you for a ride on one tomorrow."

"Wow, you're amazing! How can you drive any kind of car?"

"Of course, I can drive any boat, but I can't drive a Liberation truck. I haven't taken the driving test for that license yet. I'll take it when I get back to Shanghai!"

"Young Master Ye is really great."

"Hahaha, they're just making things up."

"But it wasn't called wrong at all."

The two young people were in a great mood, walking with a light step, almost skipping and jumping.

The cafeteria was out of food by now, so the two of them simply ordered two bowls of noodles.

Ye's father was drinking and watching TV in the cafeteria when he saw Ye Chenghu, so he called out to him and waved.

“My grandpa is calling me, I’ll take you over to say hello.”

"Ah, your grandfather..."

"Don't be nervous, the old man is very easy to talk to. I'll help you get a red envelope later."

Zheng Shuya gripped his hand tightly. "No way! How can you ask for a red envelope right after you arrive? Don't do anything reckless, or I'll be embarrassed and my reputation will be ruined."

"Don't worry, he's drunk and has a lot of energy, he won't mind."

It was too late for her to stop it.

"Hey sir, having a drink? I brought my girlfriend over for some fun, let me show you her!"

Ye Chenghu put his arm around her shoulder and pushed her directly in front of his father to show her.

The direct approach caught Zheng Shuya off guard, and her scalp tingled instantly.

This is progressing too fast! He's almost met all the relatives, and now he's even met his grandfather. He thought only his father was here.

"Hello, Grandpa..."

Slightly tipsy, Mr. Ye stood up with a big smile. “Alright, alright, sit down. You’ve just arrived, you must be tired. You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Order a few more dishes, don’t let the kids go hungry, they’re still growing.”

"Sir, I brought my girlfriend to visit you, shouldn't you give me a red envelope?"

"Give it to me, give it to me."

Mr. Ye immediately reached into his pocket, where he neatly stacked large and small bills, and opened them with trembling hands.

Ye Chenghu, annoyed by his shaky and slow hand, had already drawn a 100-yuan note, saying, "This one is enough, just a small red envelope is fine."

"Is that enough? Want another one?"

Zheng Shuya waved her hands repeatedly, "No need, no need, don't listen to Cheng Hu."

Ye Chenghu stuffed it into her pocket, "That's enough!"

Zheng Shuya looked at him disapprovingly, then took out the money and stuffed it into his pocket, glaring at him.

Ye Chenghu had no choice but to put it in his own pocket first.

Mr. Ye looked at the two of them with a smile, "When they get married, I'll give them a big red envelope."

Ye Chenghu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we'll give the big one then."

"Since we've already come this far, let's stay a few more days. The weather is just right now, neither too hot nor too cold."

"Yeah, drink less alcohol and go home to sleep early."

"I'll just have two ounces of liquor, and then I'll go back to sleep."

When does the factory give you a holiday? When are you going back to your hometown?

"The Lunar New Year is early this year, at the end of January. I figure I don't have much to do, so I'll go back home early next month, two months in advance. If nothing comes up next year, I won't come back and will just stay home and retire."

"It's great. At my age, it's comfortable to retire at home."

"Yes, I'll go home and help look after the kids. Chenghe's kids are really mischievous these days, and we're already overwhelmed with both of them."

Mr. Ye was happy when he talked about his child, and he drank the rest of his wine in one gulp.

"I'm going back to sleep. You guys take your time eating and go to bed early. We can go out and play again tomorrow."

"Okay, do you need me to help you? Have you had too much to drink?"

Mr. Ye waved his hand, stood up slightly unsteadily, and said, "No need, I didn't drink too much, just a little bit. I can go back and sleep."

Ye Chenghu saw that he was walking normally, so he let him go back by himself, since it was all flat road anyway.

"How embarrassing, why did you ask your grandfather for a red envelope as soon as you arrived?"

"What's embarrassing? This is our custom; we always give red envelopes when we meet our elders."

"Isn't it still early? We're still studying..."

“It doesn’t matter. Meeting is a fact. I’ll take good care of my grandfather in the future. He loves to drink. I’ll buy him two bottles of wine during the New Year. He’ll be even happier.”

Ye Chenghu gave her another 100 yuan, saying, "This will help you with your living expenses."

Zheng Shuya looked touched. "I thought only your father was here. Why didn't you mention your grandfather? Go out tomorrow and buy your grandfather two bottles of good wine."

“I didn’t know he was there. He often travels between his home and this place.”

"Ok."

"The noodles are here, eat quickly, and after you eat, I'll take you on a tour of the factory, and then you can go to sleep."

"it is good."

Zheng Shuya looked at him while eating her noodles, and said hesitantly, "I haven't introduced you to anyone in my family. Don't you feel neglected?"

Ye Chenghu asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

"You've introduced me to a whole bunch of your relatives, but you've never met any of my family members..."

"I've met your parents, brother, and sister, but they didn't explain it. I understand, isn't that normal? I'm a boy, and my dad always says I won't be taken advantage of, so I'm also introducing you to them."

Ye Chenghu said dismissively, "If my sister brought her boyfriend home to school, my dad would be furious. He'd break her legs and never let her see her boyfriend again."

"So I understand. It's nothing. You can formally meet your family after graduation."

"It's not like I'm losing out by introducing you to my family early on. My family doesn't object either. Don't worry, you can introduce me to your parents after graduation."

Zheng Shuya smiled and said, "Ye Chenghu, you're so kind."

"Of course, I am the best man in the world, just like my father."

"I'll find an opportunity to talk to them in two years. I'm too embarrassed to say it now that I'm just starting college."

"fine."
