Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Ye Chuan shook his head: "No need to rush, it's almost dawn, let me wash my face and then we can go to bed."

Tong Yao got up and went to get water for Ye Chuan to wash his face. Before Ye Chuan could stop her, she had already started. After a while, Tong Yao came back with a basin. Ye Chuan used his hand to test the water temperature and found it was just right, so he washed his face.

Without asking his wife to go out to fetch water, he placed the washbasin in the corner, fearing that the noise would disturb his parents' sleep.

"Go to sleep!" Ye Chuan said and hugged his wife tighter.

"Yeah." Tong Yao responded and nodded meekly.

The next day, Ye Chuan slept until almost noon. If Tong Yao hadn't reminded him, he would have slept until three or four o'clock. After lunch, he drove back to the commercial building to continue his work.

After several years of development, the Commercial Building has become one of the famous businesses in Beijing. Several expansions have made it cover a vast area.

However, the changes in commercial outlets are not that big. The previous name "supply and marketing cooperative" is no longer appropriate, and it is not wrong to even say that it is a member of the market.

The current commercial building occupies an area that is no less than that of a medium-sized state-owned manufacturing plant, but the number of employees is not that large.

Citizens joke that there are three places that must be visited in Beijing: the First and Second Department Stores and the Commercial Building in Luoguxiang. In the three shopping areas mentioned above, there are some things that are only sold in the Commercial Buildings, and these products are not available in the other two department stores; and this is all due to Ye Chuan's position and contribution in the Second Department Store.

After finishing some work, he recalled that he had received a system upgrade package last night, so he checked his system notifications.

The energy points stored in the system now exceed five million, and the total amount of RMB accumulated over the past few years has reached more than 100,000. This is wealth he has never had before.

"System, open the new member gift pack!"

“Ding—open the new member gift package! Congratulations on receiving a set of basic electric machinery process drawings, the first edition of engine manufacturing technology, a full range of circuit board process guidelines, and a cash doubling card.”

Following the system's voice, Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment.

He is no longer a novice. Over the years, he has read a lot of books and thought about a lot of problems. By integrating the knowledge in books and the experience of his previous life, his knowledge has already changed a lot.

Of the four items obtained today, only the cash critical hit card can be considered the icing on the cake, while the other three drawings are almost rare treasures.

The cash crit card can randomly increase the cash in hand by 5 to 30 times after it is activated. According to the lowest calculation of 5 times, his current cash of more than 100,000 yuan will become 500,000 yuan; if it is 30 times, it can reach more than 3 million, which is a huge sum even in modern society. However, he did not plan to use this card immediately. What he needed most now was money. He would use it when he could achieve something in the future, and it could be used as the start-up capital for his business career.

The combination of the primary solar energy equipment technology and water heater manufacturing blueprints given by the system before can produce solar water heaters. The two blueprints just given by the system, if combined with solar energy technology, can realize solar electric vehicles. Specifically, solar energy can be converted into electricity to drive the car; if combined with the engine blueprint, it can be directly converted into kinetic energy for the engine to use.

For Ye Chuan, if these advanced technologies are truly applied in reality, it will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to the global automotive industry. Even without solar technology, the drawings of motors and engines alone are enough to shake up the entire automotive industry.

Be it Nissan, Honda or BBA, in his eyes, they are nothing special. With the technology and determination in his hands, he can easily surpass them by at least half a century.

Another technical drawing of a multifunctional circuit board is also amazing. By using it and the previously obtained photo technical data, a digital camera or digital video camera can be made. In addition to photographic equipment, the circuit board can be adapted to a variety of electronic products by modifying the internal parameters.

Over the past decade, the question he has been thinking about most is the future direction: should he continue along the current path to reach a higher level, or should he enter the business world?

He once lacked a clear idea, but now he has an answer in his mind: starting his own business is the only option. With the gifts and technology from the system, he is confident that he can turn many products into world-class products and make the words "Made in China" resound around the world.

After ten years of steady work in the business world, I believe that in the next ten years, he will have a place on the international business stage.

The bell for the end of work brought him back to reality. Before he knew it, it was the end of the working day. After finishing his work, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food and drove his jeep back to the courtyard. The residents there had gotten used to his means of transportation and no longer watched him with curiosity like before. "Xiao Ye is back?"

"Is Director Ye off work?"

Along the way, every neighbor he met greeted Ye Chuan enthusiastically. The Ye family was no longer an invisible family in the courtyard, but a presence that no one dared to provoke easily.

When they got home, the meal was already on the table, and their parents and Tong Yao were all sitting at the table preparing to eat. When Xiao Xue saw Ye Chuan coming back, she immediately jumped off the chair and threw herself into his arms with joy. "My dear daughter, are you here to greet Dad?"

Ye Chuan picked up his daughter and kissed her chubby little face with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

Looking at the heartwarming scene between father and daughter, Tong Yao started to smile and helped serve Ye Chuan rice despite her big belly.

After dinner, Ye Yongshun took his granddaughter to watch TV. Although there were not many good programs in that era, Xiaoxue was very fascinated by them. Watching TV was her routine activity after dinner every day.

Tong Yao was about to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Liu Yue, who told her to eat some fruit and then go to her room to rest.

Tong Yao had no choice but to return to the bedroom and saw Ye Chuan reading a book in the room. Seeing his wife come in, he smiled and lowered his head to continue reading.

Usually at this time, she would also find a book, and the couple would sit quietly until bedtime, or play a few games, or turn off the lights to rest.

However, since Tong Yao was going to give birth soon, Ye Chuan also reduced the frequency for safety reasons.

This time, Tong Yao did not go to get the book, but came to the bedside and said softly: "Ye Chuan, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Ye Chuan put down the book in his hand, picked up the apple and peeled it while saying, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. We are an old married couple, there is no need to be so polite."

Tong Yao glared at her husband and said with a smile, "Can you clean up the vacant land to the north of our house? I want to build a small house. Go to the street office and ask Director Wang for an application."

Ye Chuan cut the peeled apple into two halves and handed them to his wife, and took a bite of the other half. "Why did you suddenly think of building a house?"

"Xiaoxue is growing up day by day, and it's not convenient for her to sleep with us all the time. The second child is about to be born. There are only two rooms in our house now. I hope to add another room so that Xiaoxue can have a private space when she goes to school."

As a scholar, Tong Yao has a wide range of knowledge and has many different views on children's education from her peers. In those days, it was very common for many parents and children to live under the same roof. If her family did not have sufficient conditions, she would not have made this request.

However, the empty space on the north side is really just a place to store miscellaneous items. Although the space is not large, it is completely sufficient to build a small bedroom. This is not only to avoid affecting the parents-in-law, but also to help cultivate the children's independence.

Ye Chuan thought for a while and replied, "Yaoyao, there is no rush for this matter. Xiaoxue still has some time before going to school, and the school is currently suspended, so it is not certain when it will resume. The land to the north is really small. If we build a house, we can only fit a bed and a desk, which may be a bit cramped."

Tong Yao wanted to continue persuading her husband, but when she saw the determination in Ye Chuan's eyes, she said no more.

This idea had been lingering in her mind for several days. She originally thought that Ye Chuan could understand and agree with her idea, but she didn't expect him to reject it outright. This made her feel a little depressed.

Especially under the current living conditions, she attaches great importance to the quality of life and the world of two people, and she does not want to have only a curtain to separate the two children's space when they grow up. Especially when Ye Chuan is concentrating on playing games, it is really not suitable for children to see.

Just as Ye Chuan was about to add something, the door was pushed open and Xiaoxue staggered in.

"I've finished watching TV and now I want to ask daddy for a hug." The moment Ye Chuan looked at his daughter, a smile spread across his face and he opened his arms to welcome her.

Tong Yao put aside her previous thoughts, smiled, and stared at her daughter and husband playing on the bed. "Xiaoxue, are you going to sleep with us or grandma tonight?" Ye Chuan asked softly.

After taking a bite of the apple, Xiaoxue responded in a baby voice: "Grandma asked me to go over and sleep with her so that I wouldn't disturb Daddy and Mommy."

This answer immediately made Tong Yao blush, while Ye Chuan was overjoyed.

···

Confused, Xiaoxue asked, "Dad, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

This childishness made Ye Chuan even happier, "Dear, you're not wrong, I just laugh because you're so funny." After saying that, he didn't forget to pinch his daughter's cheek.

Xiaoxue asked, "Dad, can you tell me a story about Sun Wukong defeating a monster?" Ye Chuan smiled and nodded, hugged his daughter and began to narrate the story in "Journey to the West". Tong Yao was also listening attentively. He felt his throat burning from talking so much that Liu Yue came over to take Xiaoxue and prepared to let her go back. "Grandma, I want Dad to continue."

Ye Chuan swallowed to moisten his dry throat and said with a smile: "Be good, let's talk about it another day, okay?" Xiaoxue nodded sensibly and followed her grandmother to prepare for a bath.

Tong Yao nodded: "Let's go take a rest too."

"it is good."

When the child finished washing up, the two quickly finished the bedtime cleaning, turned off the lights and prepared to go to sleep. "Rest, you still have to go to work tomorrow." He turned off the lights and gently held her shoulders, letting her body face him, but Tong Yao did not move, still facing outwards, with her back to her husband.
