Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1829 Vacation
She was clumsy and didn't know how to fasten her helmet; she had never ridden a motorcycle before.

After putting on his own helmet, Ye Chenghu helped her fasten and adjust it.

Zheng Shuya held the steamed bun, staring blankly at him as he carefully fastened his helmet, and blurted out.

"Ye Chenghu, you're so handsome."

"Hahaha...Really? Then you should praise me more often in the future!"

She felt embarrassed after saying it, clenched the bun in her hand, and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

"Then do you like me?"

She nodded.

Ye Chenghu looked down into her eyes and teased her, "Then tell me."

"Let's go, we'll talk next time."

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

After Ye Chenghu got on the motorcycle, he told her to climb on and hug him tightly.

"I'm a little scared. Are you sure you can drive? What if we crash?"

"Don't worry, I'm a great driver. I just drove during the summer vacation."

"Oh! You haven't opened it for months..."

Before Zheng Shuya could finish speaking, she saw him accelerate immediately after leaving the factory, which startled her, so she could only hug him even tighter.

Ye Yaodong got up early and stood in the corridor, watching two young people flirting shyly and intimately not far below.

He stretched and yawned. "You brat, you came and didn't even bother to say anything."

Once he got to the office, he called Lin Xiuqing to let her know.

Now that I'm in college, I'm free. I don't need to tell my parents or report when I go out. My parents can't control me even if they want to, and they can't reach out to me even if they want to. I live on campus.

If he doesn't come back on his own initiative, they won't be able to find him.

They'll only go home to ask for money when they're broke; otherwise, don't expect to see them.

Ye Chenghu had been at the factory for two days over the weekend, but I hadn't thought to go up and say hello until I was about to leave after having fun, and then I remembered to ask him for living expenses.

"Dad, if you give me living expenses, I won't have to go back home to ask Mom for it anymore. Tomorrow is the 30th, it's been a month."

"They never think of me normally, but they only come to me when they need money."

No, I miss you all the time.

"Bullshit, you've been here for two days, have you even shown up in front of me?"

"Here I am, haha. It was already dark when I arrived, and I left early the next morning. I leave early and come back late every day, but I never run into you. Look, I'm leaving now, and I still came to see you at the last minute."

"Did you come to see me? Or did you come to collect the money?"

Despite saying this, Ye Yaodong still opened the drawer and took out the money for him.

"350, right..."

Ye Chenghu looked at the 400 yuan and, with delight, quickly snatched it away, saying, "I don't have 50 yuan, keep the change!"

“I have some,” Ye Yaodong said, pulling another 50 yuan from his pants pocket. “Give it to me.”

He returned it reluctantly, muttering under his breath, "Stingy, yet so calculating."

“If your mother says it’s 350 a month, then it’s 350. If you give her too much, I’ll get scolded.”

"If I don't tell, and you don't tell, isn't that fine?"

“That won’t do. She said boys with money go bad. You make 350 a month, which is a lot. The school also gives you a subsidy of 10 or 20 yuan. With that money, I could support two college students.”

"I need money for food, drinks, and entertainment when I'm with my girlfriend, and there are two of us."

"That should be enough for you. If it's not enough, use your own savings. It's you who wants to date, not me. Support yourself."

"Okay, I'm off then. I need to catch the bus back quickly; I have class tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong waved his hand, telling him to go back on his own.

To his surprise, a week later, Lin Xiuqing called him and said she had given him another 350.

I called to complain that my son only comes home once a month, even though the school isn't far away.

"...You gave him living expenses, didn't you tell me?"

Ye Yaodong was speechless for a moment. "How would I know he picked it up from me and then came to you to pick it up again?"

“I gave it to him, and he just took it. Why not take it if it’s free? Who would know you gave it to him? No wonder he was laughing so happily. He ran away right after breakfast the next morning. He was afraid of being exposed. He didn’t even stay until the afternoon.”

"Think about it, it's already the 6th. Do you think he would wait until this late to ask for his living expenses?"

"I was thinking that he went to your place last week, so he didn't have time to come home to get his allowance. When he came back this week, I just gave him the money, didn't I?"

"If you've already given him the money, he'd be a fool not to take it. I'd take it even if you gave it to me. If it were me, I'd run back to school right then and there and not stay there anymore."

"That brat, he'll take any amount of money."

"Who doesn't want more money..."

Parents shouldn't be fools to hand over money to their children.

"You're making sarcastic remarks. I gave him my living expenses without even telling me, so I had to give them to him again."

"Call his dorm building, yell at him, and pay for two months' worth. Don't pay him next month."

"Yeah, if he weren't so old, he'd give me a beating."

Ye Chenghu's happiness lasted only one day, and the double joy came to an abrupt end. He was only annoyed that he had been exposed too quickly, but he continued with his daily routine as usual, since his little nest egg was still plentiful.

Ye's father also returned to his hometown in mid-November. Anyway, he had nothing to do here. Ye Yaodong has many capable people around him now, so he doesn't need him.

He wants to go home early to live in a big villa and enjoy life.

At the end of January, the Spring Festival was approaching. Ye Chenghu had a holiday less than a week after New Year's Day, which made his family's younger members extremely envious.

She was even more jealous when she found out he didn't have any winter break homework.

They all clamored that they also wanted to go to university, so that they wouldn't have homework during winter and summer vacations, and so that they could have a holiday with an early start and a late start.

Ye Chenghu enjoyed a wonderful semester of university life and was very happy.

"All the hard work in high school was worth it, Yangyang. You have to work hard, and you'll be so happy when you get into university."

Ye Chengyang has started wearing glasses this semester. He adjusted the lenses on his nose with his hand and nodded.

"I know, if you can get into university, I'll definitely be fine too."

"That four-eyed frog, he's so arrogant!"

The twins both have an "O" sign in their mouths; it feels like they've learned a new word.

Ye Chengyang continued calmly working on the problem, saying, "These are the degrees I learned from the book; I can convert them into fractions from now on."

"No way, it's from playing games, right? You got caught playing games all night during summer vacation, and you started wearing glasses not long after school started. You're always trying to make yourself look good. You're the most cunning one."

"Yes, yes, that's right. My little cousin stayed up late playing games during summer vacation and got caught by my great-grandmother."

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Grandma thought there was a thief, so she came out of her room in the middle of the night with an iron basin and started banging on it, waking everyone up."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed without any restraint.

Ye Chengyang wanted to kill them with his eyes!
Ye Chenghu took off the glasses from his nose and put them on himself. "Am I handsome?"

The twins exclaimed in unison, "Four-eyed frog!"

"Fool!"

Pei Yu honestly said, "Cousin, it doesn't look good on you. It looks better on your younger cousin. He looks very refined in it."

"I don't want to wear it yet; it makes me dizzy when I can see clearly."

Ye Chengyang put his glasses back on.

"He certainly has the look of a refined scoundrel."

Ye Xiaoxi said with a grin, "Big brother, you're just jealous. Second brother is very popular at school. He receives love letters every day. His drawer is full of them."

"Jealous of him? What a joke! I received a whole basketful of love letters in college. My car was parked on campus, and every day I'd see a pile of letters on the wipers and the car door. I also had female classmates hitting on me every day, bringing me breakfast, fruit, hot water, and wiping tables."

Ye Chenghu spoke with great pride, saying that he was now a prominent figure at the school.

He's popular not only with girls but also with boys; the boys all call him Brother Hu!

Ye Xiaoxi pounded her chest and stamped her feet, "Why wasn't I born a few years earlier? Then I could have gone to the same school as you, I could have eaten your breakfast every day, and I wouldn't have had to spend any money!"

"Are you a Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring good fortune)?" Ye Chenghu poked her forehead hard.

"Big brother, you can't change your mind! You get what you pay for. Sister Xiaoya is both beautiful and gentle."

"Why don't you become her younger sister?"

"Sister Xiaoya will come over to tutor my second brother every night. After she finishes tutoring him, she can tutor me and my sister too! And then she can tutor those two good-for-nothings!"

The twins stared at her with their round eyes!

"We are not fools!"

"Hahaha……"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh; the two of them were particularly amusing.

Ye Chenghu said, "Mom, how about I not go to Zhou City? I'll go help out at the freight company and learn how to drive a truck while I'm at it."

"What's wrong? Do you still want to stick together during the holidays?"

"No, if I'm not here, she'll definitely feel awkward and uncomfortable coming to the house alone."

“Then you should talk to your dad and suggest going to the freight company. Yangyang hasn’t started his winter break yet, so he comes over every night for two hours to catch up. Once he starts his winter break, he won’t need to do that anymore, as he’ll be going to Zhoushan to go out to sea.”

Ye Chengyang sighed heavily, "It's my fate, I can't escape it. My older brother has it much better than me, at least he never had to take extra classes before."

"You should be grateful. Your brother was neglected before, and we didn't know who to ask for tutoring. Xiaoya has good grades and just graduated, so she remembers the knowledge points well. You should be grateful that she's tutoring you."

"Ok."

Ye Xiaoxi suddenly spoke up, "It's over, I guess I won't be able to go to university at the same time as my second brother. By the time I go to university, my second brother will have already graduated."

Ye Chengyang pushed up his glasses and said, "Can't I just get a bachelor's degree?"

"Oh, right, you wear glasses, so you're definitely better than your older brother. If you want to get into a four-year university, you'll be a senior while I'll be a freshman, so I can leech off you. Second brother, you need to be more handsome, don't grow up to be ugly."

"I'm just afraid you won't pass the exam."

"If I don't pass the exam, I'll go to Dad's place and collect my salary. I won't have to get up early for school anymore. You and your older brother can help Dad make money. I'll be thrilled."

Ye Xiaoxi was overjoyed as she spoke, feeling that her idea was excellent.

Lin Xiuqing slapped her on the head, "Don't think like that. You have to study hard and not be a good-for-nothing."

After saying that, he looked at the others, focusing on the twins, and said, "You all need to study hard."

The twins looked miserable.

"And Ye Chenghu, don't be too flashy at school. There are a lot of students, so be careful when you drive in and out, and don't hit anyone. Apart from going home, you probably won't have many places to drive, so drive less. Be humble when you get along with your classmates, don't brag, and get along well with them..."

“Oh dear, you’ve recited it 800 times already. You recite it every time you’re home, so I can recite it by heart. I get along really well with my classmates.”

Ye Chenghu turned and walked out, saying, "I'm going to see if Zheng Shuya has arrived yet."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the others, who quickly packed their things and moved away from her to avoid listening to her nagging.
