Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

It is never wrong to extend a hand to someone who is smiling, and Ye Zhan smiled back and nodded in confirmation. "This car is pretty good, even better than Director Yang's at the steel mill!" Yi Zhonghai exclaimed sincerely. "Our two cars actually have the same performance, but mine is just a newer color." Ye Zhan explained. "You are really capable, and you are treated the same as Director Yang at such a young age."

During the rush hour, workers who were returning home noticed the Jeep in the corner, and their eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity.

Chen Decheng, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairou, Xu David and other neighbors looked at Ye Zhan and Duan Xiaochen in the car, full of jealousy and envy.

At this time, Duan Yunsong was riding home.

I saw a lot of people gathered at the gate of the courtyard from afar, and thought something had happened, so I quickly increased my speed.

When he got closer, he found that the crowd was surrounding the Jeep car driven by Ye Zhan and his friends, and in front of the car was Ye Zhan and his newlywed wife Duan Xiaochen.

So Duan Yunsong shouted in confusion: "Chuanzi, what's going on?"

Before Ye Chuan could respond, other people started talking. "Brother Ye, your brother Chuan'er is really capable. He can even drive a jeep."

"Uncle Ye, this car is the result of what Brother Ye brought back!"

"Brother Ye, you and your wife will enjoy your life from now on. Xiaochuan's wife will take care of you."

The chaotic chatter of the crowd made Ye Yongshun a little confused.

Ye Chuan walked over with a smile and said, "Dad, the company allocated me a car to let everyone open their eyes. Come on, Dad, how about you sit in it and feel it?"

Ye Yongshun looked at the jeep and felt curious as well, but he was worried that if he behaved too much like a curious child, then his image as a father would collapse.

Ye Yongshun cleared his throat and said disapprovingly, "It's just a jeep, what's so great about it! By the time you get home, the food might have already been cooked!"

Ye Chuan saw through everything from his father's eyes. He suppressed his smile and said, "That's true, Dad. Would you like to help me push the bike?"

After Ye Chuan took the bicycle, he walked towards the courtyard first, leaving Ye Yongshun and Tong Yao to follow.

As he entered the gate, Ye Yongshun turned his head to take a quick look at the jeep, his eyes unable to conceal his strong curiosity about it.

When he got home, Liu Yue had already prepared a table full of food.

Seeing her husband and son and his wife returning home, she asked, "Wash your hands and get ready for dinner.

What happened at the gate just now? You guys were so loud that I forgot to check."

Ye Yongshun answered nonchalantly while washing his hands: "Nothing, just a jeep parked there."

Liu Yue served the last dish and untied her apron and put it away.

Hearing Ye Yongshun's words, she said with a smile: "Being a captain is different. Now you don't like jeeps?" Then Ye Chuan also echoed and teased: "That's right, he has improved his level now."

Tong Yao chuckled but didn't explain why.

Sitting down to eat, Liu Yue placed the bowls and chopsticks on the four sides of the table according to the number of people. "Whose jeep is this? Why haven't I seen it before? Is it a neighbor who got promoted to a driver?"

Ye Chuan decided not to play it safe anymore and said with a smile, "Mom, I drove it back from work. I plan to take you for a ride when I have time."

These words made Liu Yue stunned for a moment. It turned out that his son drove a car home.

I should have come out to join in the fun. No wonder my wife seemed so arrogant just now.

Liu Yue took a bite of the dish, and her eyes were filled with emotion. "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Tong Yao asked with concern, and came behind Liu Yue, gently holding her mother-in-law's shoulders with both hands. "It's okay, Mom is very happy!" Liu Yue said with a smile, wiping her tears.

Ye Yongshun said softly, "You are a child who has never seen the world and thinks you know nothing." He then joked, "Have you been spoiled by the compliments from your neighbors?"

Ye Yongshun smiled and hummed, unwilling to say anything more. He took out half a bottle of Moutai and filled three glasses with wine.

Liu Yue did not stop her husband, and her inner joy was self-evident.

I think he was still worried about his son's future at the time, and even almost fell out with the Yi family over a dispute over buying a house.

Now, in just one year, my son's transformation is so remarkable.

He established himself in the scrap recycling station and became the director of a key company. His family conditions continued to improve, and he bought electrical appliances at home. Now he even has a jeep. This quality of life is something he had never imagined before.

What makes people even happier is that his son has found a sensible and beautiful girl to be his wife. Soon they will welcome the fruit of their love, which will give Liu Yue and his wife the hope of having a grandchild and make their lives more complete. "Dad, I won't drink anymore. I'll drive us for a walk later to see how beautiful the scenery of Chang'an Road is at night and experience the feeling of driving around." Ye Chuan gently pushed away the wine glass in front of his father and said. "Okay, your mom and I also want to experience the taste of an open-top jeep!" Ye Yongshun grinned, his eyes full of anticipation.

Liu Yue rolled his eyes and asked, "Who said it was just an ordinary jeep? Just let our son drive our precious car, and don't join in the fun."

The atmosphere at home was extremely cheerful and there was constant laughter.

Unlike his usual slow eating style, Ye Yongshun was able to finish a glass of wine in just two or three gulps without asking for more.

Rather than drinks, what he desired at this moment was the jeep in front of him.

The meal was completed in more than 20 minutes, compared to at least an hour usually. Everyone was in a good mood and even ate a lot faster.

After the meal, mother-in-law Liu Yue and granddaughter Tong Yao cleaned up the dishes together and changed their clothes. They looked like they were carefully preparing for a trip, which was really impressive.

Seeing his wife and mother dressed in travel clothes, Ye Chuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "We're just going out for a drive, is there any need to be so exaggerated?"

Ye Yongshun followed up with, “Indeed!”

"We're happy to!" Liu Yue answered playfully, with a smile on her face.

Ye Chuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, took the car keys, and the family of four went out together.

He and Ye Yongshun walked in the front, while Liu Yue carefully supported Tong Yao. Everyone could not hide the anticipation and joy on their faces.

For Ye Chuan, wearing fancy clothes and not returning home is like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes. A jeep can not only bring happiness to his family, but more importantly, a sense of belonging and pride.

And at this moment, he did it.

Ye Yongshun got to the passenger seat without hesitation. As Ye Chuan turned the key, the jeep engine emitted a steady roar and started as he wished.

The neighbors who were chatting on the street stopped their discussions and focused their eyes on the shiny green military jeep with envy.

Ye Chuan operated the vehicle with familiarity. He gently pushed the clutch and the accelerator. The jeep started slowly and gradually accelerated until it disappeared from everyone's sight. "This car is so cool!" Yan Jiecheng, a neighbor, couldn't help but sigh. "Xiao Ye said that he would drive me to go fishing one day, yeah!" Yan Bugui, who was also smiling, continued. "It's just a jeep. What's there to brag about? It's so tacky!" Tuzhu, who had just returned from the toilet, had a look of dissatisfaction on his face and watched the direction where the jeep disappeared. "Tuzhu, you can get one for yourself." Others' words reminded him. "Uncle, you talk as if you are driving a jeep!" Tuzhu retorted with a disdainful curl of his lips.

Yan Bugui corrected him immediately, "No, you are the second uncle now! The eldest is Ye Yongshun." His face was serious. "Fool, no one will listen to your big talk, why are you fighting with Ye Chuan?" Tuzhu said sarcastically, and left without getting angry in front of Yan Jie, the elder.

In the courtyard, at the Jia family's side, Qin Huairu hugged Xiaodang, enjoying the cool breeze, and kept looking at the Ye family members who were leaving. Her expression was full of complex charm, but a low, hoarse, and slightly sick voice came from the side. "What are you looking at? Do you really want to be the daughter-in-law of the Ye family?" Hidden reproach permeated her words.

Qin Huairu turned her head slightly, and Jia Dongxu, who was so thin that he was almost unrecognizable, showed his head and looked at her with resentment and hostility.

But she is fearless now. Although Jia Dongxu is only 175 cm tall, he is so thin that his weight is less than kg.

He had been lying in bed for a long time, his legs had not received timely treatment, and there were signs of infection. The pain at night was so torturous that he felt like he was living a life worse than death.

Faced with this situation, Qin Huairu was like a queen on the throne: "What can I do? Even if she is a concubine, it is better than me following a loser!" Her ridicule was merciless, just to vent the grievances that had accumulated over the years.

As Banggeng became disabled and Huaihua was sent away, her heart gradually became filled with evil thoughts and moved toward extremes.

Jia Dongxu never thought that Qin Huairu would dare to say that. He was so angry that he almost stopped breathing. "Qin Huairu! You bastard!" he roared.

Time passed quietly, and a month went by in a flash. The weather in Beijing in August was as scorching as an oven, with temperatures often approaching 40 degrees Celsius, and there were few people on the streets.

Taking the working conditions of the salesmen into consideration, Ye Chuan specially allowed them to take a break at noon and play poker in the cafeteria to relieve boredom in the afternoon.

This touched the salesmen deeply, because such a cool policy had never existed in the past.

Even Ye Chuan, who had an excellent physique, felt uncomfortable with such a hot sun.

Suddenly the phone on the desk rang. He put out his cigarette, took a sip of the mung bean soup, and then answered the phone.

The caller was from a state-owned transport team, inviting him to pick up the goods.

He wondered to himself, could it be that the radio production line ordered from Hong Kong Island had already arrived?

Ye Chuan hurriedly got up, grabbed the car keys and ran downstairs.

Just as I was about to step into the cockpit, I silently stepped back. The high temperature inside the car was almost close to the 40 degrees Celsius outside, as if it were a sauna. The heat wave rushing into the car was enough to suffocate people.

He opened the window for a while to let out some heat, then lit a cigarette and waited patiently in the scorching heat.

It took more than ten minutes before the atmosphere in the car calmed down a little.

Although the seat and steering wheel were unbearably hot, he started the car and sped toward the transport team's address.

Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

The guard at the gate saw a jeep approaching and did not stop it.
