Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

With just one sip, Ye Chuan could tell that it was the best Mingqian Longjing tea. He praised, "Not bad, good tea! If you taste it earlier, it will definitely have a better flavor."

This made Wang Zhiqiang stunned, and he looked at his nephew's husband with surprise, because what he said was exactly the same as what the school director said.

No wonder his sister, who is so talented in writing, thinks so highly of him. Although he does not have a high level of education and his job is average, his rich knowledge makes him seem quite knowledgeable and he is by no means a hollow and boring person.

Wang Zhiqiang's inner perception changed dramatically, and his attitude towards Tong Yousheng softened. He even took the initiative to discuss some work matters with him.

When Wang Yuxiu saw this scene, she was so happy that she couldn't express it in words, and her recognition of Ye Chuan also increased a lot.

Uncle Wang remained silent throughout the whole process, watching the people talking with wise eyes, with a satisfied smile on his face all the time.

He knew that the relationship between his son and son-in-law was not harmonious. Although he had opinions on their financial situation after marriage, they were an old couple after all, and the fact of having a child was a fact. He also hoped that the two of them could live in harmony in the family.

Twenty-three years have passed, and the son-in-law always seems to be out of place. However, the arrival of the grandson-in-law has changed everything, and the son's attitude towards him has changed dramatically.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, Aunt Yu also felt the warmth the moment the dishes were brought to the table.

Her face was full of smiles like a blooming flower. "It's time to eat!" she called out happily.

Afterwards, Tong Yao and Wang Yanli walked out of the room and came to the table. Lin Hua served the last dish and asked jokingly, "Yaoyao, this sweater is really beautiful. Where did you find it?" Tong Yao blushed slightly and replied, "Ye Chuan bought it on the top floor of the shopping mall."

At this time, Wang Yuxiu came over and complained slightly: "The children really don't know how to be frugal. Yaoyao spent several hundred yuan to buy a cheongsam, and the two of them spent more than a hundred yuan to take pictures."

Although these words were critical, her pride was evident.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, Ye Chuan is so generous! These two pieces of clothing and the watch alone cost more than a thousand yuan!" Even if Wang Zhiqiang and Lin Hua had a stable income, they would not be so reckless.

Hearing this, Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Our daughter Yaoyao is so pretty, it's worthwhile to spend this little money on a cheongsam.

You don’t have to worry about paying for the cheongsams that grandma will give you at your wedding.”

Tong Yao quickly replied, "Grandma, thank you for your kindness. Ye Chuan and I have the means, so we don't need you to pay for it." After that, she took the two red envelopes that Aunt Yu took out, "Thank you for your Spring Festival red envelopes, but don't give me any more money for my cheongsam."

In this heartwarming interaction, the Wang family atmosphere became more harmonious and harmonious than ever before.

Ye Chuan stood up and took the red envelope with both hands, smiling and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I will take this New Year's red envelope. I will prepare the money for the cheongsam myself. You and grandpa can use the money to buy a few more records to enjoy."

At this time, Uncle Wang said: "Chuanzi, just accept what your grandma gave you. It's rare for an old lady to be so generous."

But Aunt Wu was dissatisfied and said, "Did I miss something with you? Or did I treat you unfairly?" This caused everyone to laugh, especially Wang Yuxiu who secretly lowered her head. Her parents' words revealed their full approval of their future son-in-law.

A group of people sat around the dining table, sharing the delicious food. Tong Yousheng wanted to pour Maotai for everyone, but Ye Chuan snatched the bottle, helped his father-in-law to sit down, and poured wine for everyone one by one.

Everyone laughed at him for taking over the "duty" that was originally performed by Tong Yousheng, which gave Tong Yousheng a way out and made him look very favored. "Chuan'er, where are you going to hold the wedding banquet? In your own yard?" asked the old man Wang after taking a sip of wine.

Ye Chuan replied: “I don’t plan to hold it at home, it will be troublesome to have so many guests.

Our company’s canteen can accommodate hundreds of people at a time and is fully equipped, so we plan to book it there.”

Hearing this, Uncle Wang nodded in agreement: "Well, that's not bad either.

Remember to say hello to your boss and don't save this little money.

It would behoove me to send him and the chef a few bottles of good wine.”

At this time, Wang Yuxiu suddenly said, "Dad, Xiaochuan is now the deputy director of their company. It's no problem for him to use the cafeteria, right, Xiaochuan?" Her tone was somewhat proud. "Deputy director? How long has it been since he got promoted to deputy director?" Wang Zhiqiang was a little unable to keep calm, because he knew the importance of work experience in the factory. Although he was not there, he was also aware of this fact.

Ye Chuan answered modestly: "I worked for about half a year and just caught the opportunity."

At this time, Wang Yuxiu seized the opportunity to show off: "Mom and Dad, did you know that the clock that can remind people of the time was actually developed by Xiaochuan!"

These words made Wang Zhiqiang's chopsticks stay in mid-air, with surprise written all over his face.

When the school wanted to buy a batch of alarm clocks before the start of the semester, he had searched everywhere but failed to find one. He only heard that he had to queue up in department stores early to buy them, and they were almost out of stock after 10 o'clock. "Did you make the clock? Are you sure?" Wang Zhiqiang's voice was full of doubt. After all, he had heard that the clock was a product of the Second Electronic Factory.

Facing her parents’ doubts, Wang Yuxiu smiled brightly, unable to hide her good mood: “Yes, it was the Second Electronics Factory that assisted Xiaochuan in the research and development.

After the successful development, Xiaochuan became a technical consultant there and received a cadre-level salary! "Show it to your uncle!" He urged Ye Chuan to produce evidence.

Wang Zhiqiang took the work permit handed over by Xiaochuan and took a closer look. He found that it was indeed the work permit for the technical consultant of the Second Electronics Factory. The doubts in his heart gradually disappeared.

Lin Hua, who was standing next to him, was a scientific researcher and was well aware of the hard work and difficulty behind a product, so he couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.

It is really unexpected that the original creator of the alarm clock that is now popular in the market is sitting among us.

Grandpa Wang Bo laughed and nodded in greeting, while Grandma Yu smiled widely: "Xiaochuan is a really good kid, Yaoyao has good taste~"

Wang Yanli's beautiful eyes were also looking at her brother-in-law, full of admiration.

Hearing her grandmother's praise, Tong Yao smiled and subconsciously held Ye Chuan's hand under the table. "Xiao Chuan, since you developed this alarm clock, can you customize it in large quantities?" Wang Zhiqiang asked. "Do you need to buy an alarm clock, uncle?" Ye Chuan asked.

Wang Zhiqiang replied: "Every dormitory in the school needs one, but the department store only has a limited supply every day. I went there several times but was unable to buy any."

Seeing that her brother's request fell on Ye Chuan, Wang Yuxiu looked even more proud.

Ye Chuan said without hesitation: "Uncle, after work on the fourth day of the New Year, I will call Director Sun and let you know by phone."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Wang Zhiqiang found a piece of paper, wrote down his office number and handed it to Ye Chuan.

In the subsequent gathering, everyone talked animatedly, and the topic naturally turned to literature - a frequent topic among the Wang family.

Although Ye Chuan didn't participate much, he still occasionally expressed his opinions.

The topic at the dinner table turned from literature to Tang Dynasty poetry. Even Tong Yao and Wang Yanli were attracted to join in the discussion, while Ye Chuan only occasionally clinked his glass with his father-in-law without saying much.

Tong Yousheng was bored listening to the conversation and couldn't get a word in, but Ye Chuan thought it was too superficial. Everyone was arguing about their favorite poets, and the debate was very intense.

The poets mentioned are none other than Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Wang Wei and others, and their styles are also different - Li Bai's romanticism, Du Fu's realism, and Wang Wei's landscape and pastoral poetry style.

When the conversation was heated, Wang Zhiqiang suddenly asked: "Xiaochuan, do you have any special opinions? Your mother-in-law mentioned that you are very familiar with Tang Dynasty poetry."

Grandpa Wang and Aunt Yu both looked at Ye Chuan, their eyes full of encouragement and expectation.

For them, whether their daughter's son-in-law can show his outstanding side at home is a crucial moment that makes the family proud.

Wang Yuxiu was even more expectant, hoping that her brother-in-law would say something inspiring.

Wang Yanli's eyes were full of curiosity, and she remembered that her cousin told her that it was her brother-in-law's unique insights into poetry that attracted her.

She didn't know which poet her brother-in-law liked more?

Tong Yao held Ye Chuan's hand and looked at him with a smile, obviously trusting him very much.

Ye Chuan understood the hint in his mother-in-law's eyes. He had remained silent before because he was concerned about his grandfather's emotions. "As for who can represent the poetic spirit of the Tang Dynasty, I think there are other opinions." Ye Chuan spoke up and immediately refuted everyone's ideas.

Wang Zhiqiang's smile froze a little. This guy started to sing a different tune as soon as he came up.

Wang Yanli also put down her chopsticks and listened quietly to her brother-in-law's advice.

Then, Ye Chuan said: "What made the Tang Dynasty brilliant was not only the well-known poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, and Bai Juyi, but also many poets who lived in that era like them, wrote poems with their own pens, and emitted dazzling brilliance, shining in the torrent of history."

Everyone put down the cutlery in their hands and listened to Ye Chuan's words attentively with a thoughtful look on their faces.

Ye Chuan took a sip of tea and continued his story slowly.

"There was a man who was sent to work all night to compile a book. He spent five years to complete a masterpiece of more than 200 volumes. On his way home, he created a poem that will be remembered forever - 'The sun rises in the sea, and the spring in the river enters the old year'. He was Wang Wan, and even his birth and death years were not recorded in detail.

There was also Chen Tao in the late Tang Dynasty. Due to the turbulent times, he chose not to be an official for the rest of his life and retired to the mountains.

His poems are very touching, and lines like "It's a pity that the bones by the Wuding River are still from the village" are very moving. "Hearing this, the people around were surprised. They had read the poem, but had never paid attention to the poet named Chen Tao.

Ye Chuan continued, "Chang Jian, who passed the imperial examination in the same year, was unknown but left behind poems that are admired by later generations, such as 'The mountain scenery pleases the birds, and the lake's reflection empties the human heart.'

There is also Zhang Ruoxu, who is as famous as He Zhizhang. Only two of his works remain. The poem "Spring River Moonlit Night" established his glory in the entire Tang Dynasty. For example, the line "Spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon rises with the tide" has captured the hearts of countless people! "
