Chapter 110111: Vacation / Chance Encounter

  When Luo Ye and Luo Qing arrived home, Luo Zheng who had been coming back late recently was already at home. Luo Ye curiously went over: "Dad, why did you come back so early today?"

  Luo Zheng had just put down the newspaper and leaned back on the sofa: "I've been too busy lately, haven't spent much time with you guys, will finish up my work and come back ahead of schedule."

  "Dad, did I hear that wrong? Mom..." Yu Ye shouted loudly towards the kitchen.

  "Warmly poking her head out of the kitchen: 'Ye Er, Mom is frying fish, come over and talk.'"

  "Heh heh……, nothing much, Dad said to come back early to accompany us, I don't quite believe it, Mom, can we eat the fish tail now?" Luo Ye glanced at the golden-brown fried knife fish and swallowed her saliva, after a session of physical education class, she was really hungry.

  "Little glutton, Song Qiu and Tiao Tiao are all going to laugh at you." As she spoke, she scooped a few thin slices of fish tail into a small dish and handed it to her daughter.

  "Thanks, mom." Luo Ye sat down on the small stool at the kitchen door, handing a strand of celery to Song Ball and Tiao Tiao each, and called out to Luo Feng: "Brother, do you want some?"

  "Go ahead and eat, I'll finish this game of chess with Dad, then we can go find Grandpa and come back to have dinner."

  "My brother and I went together to see how Grandpa's recent teaching results were."

  The fried fish tail is crispy and fragrant, and after eating a certain leaf, I still have an aftertaste. The small plate is stretched out in front of the warm face: "Mom, your fried fish is delicious, the big one should be cooked too, can you give me two more pieces?"

  "Not now, eat it at meal time." Wen Xin took back the small plate and wiped it clean with a swipe of her hand. Seeing You Ye still staring at her with pleading eyes, she smiled and said: "No more misbehaving without rules, or your dad will scold you."

  "Right, did Dad really come home early today just to accompany us?" Xiang Ye thought of her original intention again.

  "Warmly smiling and nodding: "Yes, that's right. Tomorrow we'll take the whole family to Qianhai Resort for a vacation."

  "Really?" Luo Ye was puzzled, wasn't Dad busy with the new city planning and couldn't get away from it recently?

  "It was decided by Uncle Liu, and his whole family is going too." Warmly added a sentence, seeing the daughter's confusion.

  Luoye immediately understood the truth. This was a clue to the Wen family, and it seemed that they wanted to win over and comfort Old Man Liu. But would Liu Zhengxing, who had his eyes on the lucrative New City District project, be willing to give it up?

  ……

  Qianhai Resort is located in the eastern new city area of the city, with complete dining, fitness, entertainment and leisure facilities. Guests can stay in hotels or choose single rental suites or villas. Liu Zhenghang chose a three-story villa in a front location, and the two families played for a day and stayed overnight, returning the next day.

  The next morning, Luo personally drove the car with a family on board to their destination. Luo Ye sat in the back and hugged her grandfather's arm: "Grandpa, if that Old Man Liu says something you don't want to hear, just ignore him, we won't give in to him."

  "At his age, Grandpa, why bother to keep track of him?" Old Master Luo smiled and patted his granddaughter's head: "Besides, my son is indeed not as good as his son in terms of position, so let him show off."

  "He's even older than Grandpa, humph... " Luo Ye frowned in dissatisfaction, wrinkling her nose: "Every time he deliberately shows off, isn't it annoying?"

  "Yeh, old people often have this habit, showing off their children and grandchildren's achievements. Old Liu usually lives in a villa and doesn't socialize with others, so when he meets someone from his hometown, he naturally wants to save face. It's understandable." Lao Ye sighed softly: "Which parent doesn't wish for their children to be good?"

  "Grandpa..." Luo Ye gently shook her grandpa's arm, not knowing how to comfort him. The old man must have thought of his brothers and sisters again, and even if they were just children, their feelings towards them would be different from hers.

  Luo Zhenggang let out a light sigh: "Dad, for my elder brothers, I will definitely help them if they need it. They called me yesterday and wanted to partner up to build a pig farm. I think this is a good idea and was just about to discuss it with you."

  "What do you mean by 'they're looking for you'?" Old Man Luo's face sank.

  "It's just that I'm asking for your opinion, nothing else. But I reckon their funds are definitely insufficient, from building pigpens to buying piglets, this is a considerable expenditure......" Luo Zheng had just seen his father's face getting longer and longer in the rearview mirror, so he quickly explained: "I didn't plan on giving them free funding, my idea was either to help them run a loan or lend it to them."

  "Loan? You're just done with that messy business, don't get involved again and give people a handle to use against you. As for lending to them, do you think your two sisters-in-law will let them pay it back?"

  They are all my sons, and it's natural for me to feel heartache for them. But I still say the same thing - I won't let my youngest son suffer because of them. Being warm and nice doesn't mean you always have to pay the price."

  "Dad, I'm fine." Wen Xin hastily made her position clear.

  "You're fine, he can't help himself"

  Lu Ye worshiped her grandfather, the old man was wise. How did he see through that broken thing of Dad's? Hmm, find a chance to ask secretly, recently Grandpa has been occupied by Song Lao Tou, no time to chat with him.

  "Dad..." Luo Zheng hesitated for a moment: "Both Big Brother and Second Brother have already spoken, if I don't care at all, it won't be right."

  "I didn't say don't help them, when they need your help, they will naturally speak up, at that time you can do what you can afford to do. As for the money matters, you must not take on too much responsibility. Which of those two sisters-in-law is a penny-pincher?" Old Master Luo sighed: "The water is not level, and the family will eventually disperse."

  "Grandpa, Dad, can you listen to my ideas?"

  Luo Zheng suddenly swept a glance at his son sitting in the passenger seat: "Feng'er, speak."

  "I think it's great that my uncles want to get rich through their own abilities, but raising a large number of pigs and just two or three is completely different. The rationality of feed formulation and disease control are extremely important."

  Therefore, the most important thing for Da Bo and Er Bo is to learn scientific pig farming, otherwise, they can only continue to toss about in losses and gains, and finally lose enthusiasm, possibly still ending up with a loss.

  This also brought up the initial problem, if it's a loan, the guarantor will definitely be implicated, and if it's lent to them, it can only be a waste of effort. Luo Feng paused for a moment: "My suggestion is that Uncle and Auntie should learn the skills well first, then decide on the scale of the pig farm based on their abilities, and then we can discuss how to help them."

  Lao Ye laughed and said with a relieved face: "Feng'er thinks very thoroughly, better than your dad. Your dad has no principles when it comes to brotherly matters, he would say harsh words in the heat of the moment but forget about them afterwards."

  "Dad, I didn't forget. If it were before, I would have taken charge and covered the entire funding gap myself. But now, that's not what I'm thinking." In front of his father, Luo Zheng still liked to argue like a child.

  "Brother, how do you know about raising pigs?" Luo Ye suppressed the joy in her heart and asked out of curiosity. Luo Zheng nodded as soon as he heard it: "Yes, Feng'er, how did you know about raising pigs?"

  "My classmate Liu Yang's family raises pigs, his parents earned tens of thousands of yuan last year, but at the beginning of this year, the pigs got sick and they lost tens of thousands of yuan again, in total it was all for nothing. Now they are thinking about changing to raising minks."

  "You'd better advise your classmate to stop throwing money around, they can't even raise pigs properly and now they're trying to raise sables? This is even more unreliable. That little thing is hard to serve, it's lucky that her brother made an effort in this matter, thanks to that classmate, Luo Ye thought of pulling one."

  "Liu Yang has been looking up information lately and found that it's not easy to raise, and was just about to persuade his family to give up." Luo Feng said with a smile: "The dormitory classmates said that he dreamed of shouting 'Dad and mom, wait for me to take the exam again, don't let my brother raise his wife to death'..."

  Hahaha...

  Thanks to Luo Feng's antics, the atmosphere relaxed again, and everyone reached a consensus. Let Luo Lao Da and Luo Lao Er study and investigate thoroughly, come up with a specific plan, and then decide how to help.

  The car arrived at the entrance of the Binhai Resort just as Liu's family car was passing by, and neither party found it convenient to get out and chat, so Liu made a gesture and Luo's car followed all the way to the designated villa before stopping.

  It was Old Man Liu, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Zhengxing, Liu Song, and Liu Hang who came from the Liu family. The number of people from both families was the same. After exchanging pleasantries, they decided to go in and rest for a while before heading to the beach.

  "Yè ér, zhēn de yuè lái yuè piàoliang le." Niè Cuì jiàn xiǎo ér zǐ de mùguāng yīzhí zhān zài Luò Yè shēnshàng, xīnzhōng hěn bù shì zī wèi er.

  Lu Ye smiled shyly: "Auntie always likes to praise me."

  "Your aunt isn't one to randomly praise people, she's been regretful that we couldn't bring you into our family." Liu Zhengxing chuckled: "She hasn't spared me from her complaints about this matter either."

  "Father" Liu Xing's face turned bright red: "Don't say these things in front of Ye Er."

  Liu Zhenghang burst out laughing: "Look at this silly son of mine, what's the hurry to protect the leaves?"

  "Yè ér, my dad is just like this in front of you, don't mind." Liu Song pushed the water cup in front of Luo Ye: "It's so hot today, Yè ér drink more water, Fēng ér you too."

  "Little Luo, don't you think it would be great if our two families were to become one?" Liu Grandfather's sudden words left everyone stunned, until Old Man Luo chuckled and replied that he wouldn't get involved in children's affairs, then everyone understood that the "Little Luo" Liu was referring to was actually Old Man Luo.

  "Dad, didn't we say that Ye Er has already been engaged to the Ye family? Don't make things difficult for Luo Bo. Liu Zheng looked at Luo Bao with a hint of apology: "Luo Bo, my dad is a straightforward person, don't take it to heart."

  Old man Luo smiled and waved his hand: "I know, I've known him for more than a day."

  "Xiao Luo, since it's like this, I'll speak straightforwardly. You see, today is a good day and Zheng Gang hasn't been of much help either. Although we don't share the same surname, both children are from the Zheng generation, so helping each other out is only right. Repaying kindness is also only right, isn't it, Zheng Gang?" Old Master Liu said as he looked at Luo Zheng Gang, waiting for his response.

  Luo Zheng quickly expressed: "Uncle Liu, I know the secretary has helped me a lot, and I will repay him."

  "That's good, but you've been keeping the Wen family's affairs a secret for so long, isn't that wrong? Some things are really tiring to do, but your father-in-law is just waving his hand and taking credit. Don't you still trust us?"

  Liu Zhenghang interrupted Old Man Liu: "Dad, what are you talking about? Of course, Zhang is trustworthy. He's a man of integrity and naturally wants to save face in front of his father-in-law. Haven't I explained this to you before? Why bring it up again?"

  "What you said is what you said, I want to hear it from your own mouth." Old Master Liu looked at Luo Zhenggang: "Tell the truth to Uncle, is it really as Zhenggang said?"

  "Yes." Luo Zheng glanced at Wen Xin with a hint of apology: "Wen Xin followed me, and it's also a bit of a hardship for her. I should speak up for her, shouldn't I?"

  "Just right, don't say that, you're not easy either." Wen Xi said while holding Nie Cui's hand: "Sister-in-law, he's just this kind of person, always feeling like he owes me, ah" As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

  "Alright, alright, it's not easy for the two families to get together, let's not talk about that, let's talk about something happy..." Liu Zhenghang quickly changed the subject, Luo Ye's downcast eyes flashed with sarcasm, was this supposed to be reassuring?

  Fortunately, Dad and Mom didn't want outsiders to know about this matter, so they cooperated tacitly. Otherwise, it's possible that the old fox would have seen through it.

  ……

  Ten o'clock in the morning.

  Everyone was fishing, Luo Ye brought Song Qiu and Tiao Tiao to stroll along the seaside. At this time, only those with superior status would come to the Front Sea Resort Village, ordinary tourists went to play at the pier or the first and second seawater baths, so there were very few people on the beach.

  Luofeng wanted to accompany her, but was driven away by her to accompany Grandpa, and was given a task to pay attention to the conversations of the crowd, and then tell her about it afterwards. She really didn't want to face those extremely disgusting hypocritical faces.

  "Yèr, are you angry?" Liu Xing caught up with her.

  "No, I'm just not interested in fishing." Luo Ye smiled faintly, grateful to him but not wanting to get too entangled with him.

  "Yèr......" Liu Xing hesitated for a moment: "I want to explain, I liked you not after seeing how beautiful you are, but before that."

  At that time, you were always weak and didn't dare to speak loudly to anyone. I thought, when I grow up, I must protect you and not let you be afraid again.

  But I haven't even said anything yet, and then there's the Yang family's proposal of marriage, and also the Ye family's proposal of marriage. Born into this kind of family, I understand that some things are not up to us to decide, but, Ye Er, don't distance yourself from me, okay?

  "Liu Xing, you're worrying too much, I've always been like this." Luo Ye changed the subject: "By the way, which university do you plan to take the entrance exam for?"

  "And you?" Liu Xing looked at Luo Ye expectantly.

  "It's a military school." Anyway, it had already spread out, so Luo Ye didn't hide it anymore.

  "Then I'll take the military academy exam too."

  "Liu Xing, don't change your original decision for me." Luo Ye looked at him seriously: "We're not kids anymore, we can't use emotions to make decisions."

  "I won't, actually I had this intention all along, but hadn't made up my mind yet. You just helped me make a decision." Liu Xing let out a light sigh: "Having known you for so many years, I won't hide it from you. As for some of the actions of my dad and older brother, I really can't stand them. So, I absolutely will not enter politics."

  I have an instinctive admiration for soldiers, and my original hesitation was the worry that I would be interfered with by my dad. I don't want others to say that I got in relying on my father's influence.

  Actually, the more I think about it, as long as my grades are up to par, what's the point of thinking so much? Being his son isn't something I can choose, if I don't even have a choice in which path to take in the future, that would be too sad.

  "Wishing you success" A smile can't be faked, Liu Hang immediately became happy: "Thank you Ye Er, which school will you report to? Tell me in advance, okay?"

  "Good", but Luo Ye's heart was filled with a sense of suffocation. By now, Liu Zheng Xing should have already entered, right? According to the original plan, this matter might have dragged on until they entered military school before it could be resolved. But during this period of time, unexpected events kept popping up one after another, determining that Liu Zheng Xing would enter much earlier than expected.

  Just last night, Song Fangzheng came to see Dad and also laid his cards on the table. He said he couldn't use official business to repay a debt of gratitude for saving his life. If Dad supported Liu Zhenghang, he would go back to doing things as before. If Dad was unwilling to collude with him, he was willing to help Dad forever.

  Two men talked for a long time and truly achieved mutual trust. Dad also got new evidence of Liu Zhenghang's crime, to be precise, it was Liu Song's new evidence, but it was obvious that he was instructed by Liu Zhenghang.

  All of this, Luo Ye naturally knew through monitoring. It turned out that the matter was settled in the previous life because of Song Meng's departure, which made Song Fangzheng and his wife lose all hope and didn't expose it.

  She decided to go to the Liu family's old mansion in these few days to find out the evidence, so everything will be settled soon. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but the boy in front of her made her feel a little bit unbearable.

  In her past life, if it weren't for him, she might have died or been humiliated long ago. However, to let him off the hook after what he did was impossible. Even if Liu Zhengxing didn't harm her family this time around because of the Wen family, he would still harm others. Having experienced that feeling herself, she couldn't allow herself to go soft.

  Liu Xing saw Luo Ye lowering her head and not speaking, thinking she was shy, so he smiled and said: "Ye Er, let's just get along naturally like before, don't mind the teasing from our elders."

  "I know." Luo Ye smiled: "Let's go back and see how many fish everyone has caught."

  "Okay, I'll make fish soup for you tonight." Liu Hang proudly smiled: "My mom said that my fish soup is already comparable to those made by the head chefs of hotels."

  "Are you still making fish soup?" Luo Ye looked at Liu Hang with some surprise. Their family had a nanny after all.

  "Yè ér, when we got together I found out you like to drink fish soup, so I learned how." Liu Xing's cheeks and ears turned red, clearly he both wanted Luo Ye to know and was a bit embarrassed.

  Lu Ye let out a soft sigh and didn't say anything. His kind intentions moved her, but it was destined to be unrequited.

  Sister

  The clear and tender voice of a child resolved the awkwardness between the two, Luo Ye followed the sound to look over, on her left front side a little boy was looking at her with surprise, then his small mouth pouted: "Sister doesn't recognize me? I've been waiting for your call, you never called"

  "Of course I know you, little Jingjing, right?" Luo Ye smiled and pinched Jingjing's cheek: "Sister accidentally lost the phone, sorry about that."

  "Sister still doesn't take Jingjing seriously, or else she wouldn't have lost her phone?" Jingjing's mouth pouted even higher, but her eyes were darting back and forth between Tiantian and Songqiu, with an enviable little expression.

  "Alright, sister was wrong. Tweet, tweet, apologize to Little Jing for me." As Luo Ye's words fell, Tweet walked up to Jing's side on its own, nodded its little head, flapped its small wings, and spun around in three circles.

  "Hahaha......" Xiao Zhengtai burst out laughing, holding his belly in laughter.

  "By the way, who did Jingjing come with today?" Luo Ye looked around and didn't see Jingjing's mom.

  "I came with my little uncle, this is the reward for my little uncle's internship ending, and I tagged along. Jingjing stretched out her chubby hand with a whirlpool to pull Luo Ye: "Sister, don't hurry to leave, play with Jingjing for a while, okay?"

  "Want to play with Pochi and Tama?" Rokka smiled, exposing the little brat. Kids have no immunity against such small animals.

  "Sister, it's the three of you who are accompanying me to play, hehe...... Oh no... it's four...". Jingjing pointed at Liu Xing who was standing behind Luo Ye with a smile: "This uncle is also with sister, right?"

  Liu Xing's face twitched, how did he become an uncle when he came here? Speaking of which, is he that old?

  Luoye smiled and nodded: "Yes, he is with his sister, but you can also call him brother, he is only one year older than his sister."

  "But... he looks a lot older than my sister, and he even has a beard..." Jingjing's face was filled with confusion: "Just like my little uncle, he has a beard."

  Liu Xing instinctively touched the fluff on his upper lip, no way, he would shave it off when he got home tonight, who cares if it will grow back black or not, what he couldn't accept was that Luo Ye wasn't from the same generation as him.

  Luoye burst out laughing while hugging Xiaozhengtai, it turned out that his way of distinguishing was having rice and whiskers?

  "Jing Jing, where have you gone? Come back here!" The sudden loud shout made Luo Ye look over, and a handsome young man about 178 cm tall and around 20 years old was walking while looking around in all directions. Apparently, that should be Jing Jing's little uncle.

  Jing Jing shrank into Luo Ye's arms: "Sister, if Uncle is going to hit me later, you have to testify for me, I wasn't running around randomly."

  "Does he often hit you?" Luo Ye asked with a smile, looking at Jingjing who was trembling like a small rabbit.

  "Yes." Jing's eyes sparkled with something shiny at the bottom.

  "Why?" Luo Ye's smile in her eyes deepened even more.

  "He just likes to bully people, especially me. Sister, why don't you sympathize with Jingjing?" Little Zhengtai looked at Luo Ye pitifully, and anyone would think that whoever bullied him was a big devil.

  "Again and again!" Luo Ye laughed and pinched Xiao Zhengtai's buttocks: "Is it comfortable to pinch your own wrist?"

  Little Zheng's face instantly fell: "Sister, you're too clever, sigh, I've finally met a worthy opponent."

  "You've fooled your little uncle many times with this trick, haven't you?" Luo Ye said, beckoning to the man: "Jing Jing is here"

  The man quickly ran two steps and then stopped in his tracks: "Listen, classmate, my nephew likes to joke around, don't get me wrong, I won't hit him, absolutely not."

  Lu Ye speechlessly rubbed his forehead: "Good heavens, Jing, you've managed to provoke him to this extent?"

  "Heh heh......, in the past those sisters would beat him up first before talking to him, scaring him. Little Zhengtao looked proud: "I'm giving him a chance to get close to the sisters, unfortunately he doesn't know how to cherish it""
