At eight o'clock in the morning.
Ye Chen drove on the road back to his hometown.
On the passenger seat was a box of exquisitely packaged and expensive sea cucumbers. Because he was in a hurry, he spent almost double the price to buy them.
Of course, he didn't just buy gifts for his grandfather. He also bought some health supplements for his parents.
After driving from the main road to the small road for nearly two hours, he finally returned to the place where he was born.
In the past two years, China's poverty relief project had achieved remarkable results. For an ordinary village like Xiyuan Village, there were no signs of its former dilapidated state. The small buildings were well-arranged, and the once dirt road had become a cement road. It was clean and tidy, and there were street lamps and trash cans at every interval along the road.
He followed his memory to a courtyard and got out of the car. Looking at the two-story building in front of him that occupied quite a large area, he sighed.
This was the place where the former "Ye Chen" grew up. It was somewhat similar to the current Ye Chen's hometown on Earth.
The door to the courtyard was ajar. He pushed it open gently and saw the eye-catching red Mercedes-Benz ClS parked in the middle of the courtyard.
As he walked into the courtyard, he saw a familiar face in the living room.
"Mom, I'm back." He walked over and shouted.
"Hey, our son is back!" Mrs. Ye hurriedly walked out of the house. When she saw Ye Chen, her face instantly beamed like a flower.
"This child, if she's back, then she's back. Why did she buy so many things?”
"I didn't buy anything. This is for Grandpa. This is for you and Dad. Eh? Where's my dad?"
"He went to the county to handle some matters and will only be back in the afternoon.”
Ye Chen handed the gift to his mother and walked into the living room. Only then did he see his uncle's family sitting on the sofa without moving.
He didn't want to talk to them, but when he saw that his mother kept winking at him, he could only pretend to be polite and greet them."Uncle, Auntie, Sister Xiaoli, you're back too?”
However, there was a strange man sitting next to the family of three. He was tall and thin, but his face was a little shifty. He was wearing a suit with an Armani logo. He was closer to his cousin Ye Xiaoli, so he should be her boyfriend or fiancé.
First Uncle was lying on the back of the sofa with his legs crossed and eating melon seeds. He just looked at Ye Chen and smiled without saying anything.
Her cousin, Ye Xiaoli, was talking about something interesting with her boyfriend. When she saw him come in, she only glanced at him in a hurry and continued her own topic.
Only the auntie stood up and looked behind him." Little Chen, did you come back alone?”
Ye Chen was stunned," Just me? Who else could it be?"”
"You didn't bring your girlfriend back?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes and laugh," No girlfriend."”
The auntie immediately found the focus." Child, how old are you? Why haven't you found a girlfriend yet? Your mother is still waiting for her grandson! Look at your cousin. She's only a few months older than you, and she's getting married next year!”
The auntie pointed at her daughter and her rich son-in-law. The bright smile on her face almost spread to the top of her head.
Ye Chen could not be bothered with her and did not reply. Instead, he looked at his mother and asked,"Why don't I see Grandpa?"
Mrs. Ye pointed to the inner room." She's sleeping."”
Ye Chen walked over and looked into the room.
"I don't know what's wrong with your grandfather recently. He's not in good spirits and always feels sleepy.”Mrs. Ye said sadly.
Ye Chen couldn't help but think of his grandfather on Earth. He was about the same age. He had previously heard others say that once the old man reached the point where he was always sleepy and could not wake up, he might not have much time left. He could not help but feel sad.
"Little Chen, so you drove back! It's not safe to park outside. Let's drive to the courtyard!”
The auntie ran to the entrance of the courtyard and sized up Ye Chen's Volkswagen Passat from head to toe. Then, she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Ye Chen poured himself a glass of water and ignored her.
However, Mrs. Ye, who was beside him, spoke up."Your auntie is right. There are those naughty children nearby. It's safer to drive into the courtyard.”
Ye Chen nodded and walked out. He opened the courtyard door and drove the car into the courtyard.
Although the courtyard was relatively large, half of it had been transformed into a small vegetable field. There was not much parking space, so he could only park the car beside the red Mercedes.
The auntie stood in front of the two cars and compared them." Xiao Chen, what brand is your car?”
Ye Chen got out of the car, closed the door, and spat out two words expressionlessly,"Volkswagen."
"How much did it cost? Why doesn't it look new?"
"Someone gave it to me." Ye Chen said unhappily and entered the living room.
The auntie had a strange expression on her face. She nagged as she walked into the living room." Someone gave it to me. It should be second-hand, right? Then you have to work hard, Xiao Chen. Look at the car your brother-in-law gave your sister. It's a Mercedes-Benz. It costs 700,000 to 800,000!”
"Mom, don't force him. I heard that Cousin is still a white-collar worker. How many years will he have to work hard to afford a Mercedes-Benz?”
Ye Xiaoli finally ended the conversation with her boyfriend and raised her head.
