Yanjing
A seemingly ordinary courtyard house is located on East Avenue.
Although it looks ordinary, a row of high walls blocks the view of the inside.
However, upon entering the courtyard, one discovers that the huge courtyard is full of flowers, plants, and various fruits and vegetables.
The antique courtyard features a small bridge and flowing water, with blooming flowers, creating a leisurely and contented atmosphere.
In the courtyard, an elderly man with gray hair but a rosy complexion and a robust body, dressed in simple clothes and holding a hoe, is tending to his beloved flowers and plants.
"Dad, dinner's ready," a middle-aged man walks out from the living room, it is none other than Ye Guohua.
"I know, what's the rush?"
The old man stopped his work, wiped his hands, and refused Ye Guohua's attempt to assist him with a smile.
"This old man isn't so old that he needs help!"
"That's right, our dad's health is top-notch!"
Ye Guohua flattered him from behind with a smile, which made the old man very happy.
At this moment, a gentle and refined middle-aged woman walked out of the house.
She is Ye Lingzhi's mother, Fang Peiru, Ye Guohua's wife, gentle and lovely with impeccable looks.
Although there are crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, they do not detract from her beauty but add a touch of mature charm.
"Dad, Mom made your favorite dishes today, go wash your hands and eat," Fang Peiru said.
"That's rare."
At the dinner table, the old man ate the dishes made by his wife while praising her cooking skills, and Ye Guohua and Fang Peiru also joined in with flattery.
In particular, Ye Guohua even acted like a child, saying that Mom's cooking was so delicious that even the top chefs in Yanjing couldn't compare, saying that he hadn't had Mom's cooking in a long time.
This made the old lady very happy.
No matter what, the fact that her cooking could make her children feel delicious was a source of pride for a mother.
However, the old lady was very gentle and doting towards her son and daughter-in-law, but she ignored the old man sitting across from her, not even bothering to look at him.
"Ahem... Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you about Lingzhi and Xiaofeng."
Hearing these two names, the old lady immediately asked her son anxiously.
"How are Lingzhi and Xiaofeng? Did something happen?"
Even the old man Ye looked at his son with a hint of nervousness, waiting for his answer.
"Ahem, Mom, Dad, don't worry, it's not what you think.
Lingzhi and Xiaofeng are both fine, nothing happened," Ye Guohua quickly explained.
"I wanted to say that Lingzhi is back in China and is now with her younger sister, you interrupted me before I could finish."
"As for Xiaofeng, he's even more amazing.
His company has developed the first automobile engine with independent intellectual property rights in our Great Xia Kingdom and is preparing to install it in his independently developed Audi car."
"Moreover, the enterprise he currently owns is thriving under his management, and he will be holding a press conference for Audi cars in a few days."
"I plan to have him take the company's latest engine technology and the latest car to the United States next year to participate in a globally renowned automobile engine competition.
If he wins an award, it will be a great honor for the country…"
Before Ye Guohua could finish speaking, he saw the old lady slam her chopsticks on the table with a loud thud, which startled everyone.
Then, the old lady said with a proud face: "Well done, Xiaofeng has been smart since he was a child.
I knew he would definitely have a great future when he grew up.
He deserves to be the grandson of Zheng Yunxi, and he hasn't disgraced my old Zheng family!"
Although the old lady is old, she was not of low status when she was young, and she exudes a heroic spirit in her bones, and her words carry a domineering air.
The old man Ye on the side couldn't help but interject when he heard this.
"Ahem, can't you be quiet for a while, old woman?
No matter what, it has nothing to do with your old Zheng family, he is the seed of my old Ye family, and I would say that the genes of my old Ye family are good."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by the old lady, and then she said disdainfully:
"Go away and don't talk to me.
Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror, with your stuttering appearance, you only know how to fight and kill, you uncultured person, how dare you mention the good genes of your old Ye family to me?"
"Fortunately, the children in the family all take after me, otherwise, I would be laughed to death."
The old lady's domineering words directly choked the old man Ye, causing him to tremble all over as he looked at her, but he couldn't utter a word.
Because what the old lady said was the truth, although the old man Ye was not ugly, he could not be said to be good-looking, and although the old lady was old, it could be seen that she was definitely a beauty when she was young.
"Pfft."
"Cough cough."
Ye Guohua and Zheng Peiru immediately lowered their heads to eat, not daring to speak up for their father.
They were all aware of their mother's Fierce.
Seeing that none of them were helping him, the old man Ye quickly changed the subject: "Although I don't understand technology, I also know how difficult it is to break through the patent barriers of foreign car companies and develop an automobile engine with independent intellectual property rights in our Great Xia Kingdom."
"This is an honor for the country and should be known to all the people.
This will let everyone know that our Great Xia Kingdom also has an automobile engine with independent intellectual property rights."
"Arrange it, do some publicity."
Boom
Ye Guohua was stunned after the old man Ye finished speaking.
He knew his father's temper too well.
The old man hated his family using their power to seek personal gain.
Therefore, the children of the Ye family, no matter how high their official positions were, all followed the orders of the old man Ye and never did anything that would betray the country.
Ye Guohua had long wanted to give Lu Haifeng some help, but he was afraid of making the old man unhappy.
He didn't expect the old man to take the initiative to bring it up today.
"Okay, Dad."
"It seems you old man still have some conscience, I want to call my grandson."
The old lady was very satisfied and personally poured a glass of Moutai wine for the old man, which she would never let him drink on weekdays.
This made the old man Ye very happy, sipping the wine and eating the dishes with great satisfaction, feeling very content in his heart.
