Chapter 172: Sending me away a thousand miles away

Taking advantage of the moment when the patient got up from his seat, Ye Qingbai ran over to greet Ye Rufeng, "Second Grandpa, I'll be going now. I'll come to see you at home later."

Ye Rufeng had just finished seeing a patient. He picked up his water glass, took a sip, glanced at Ye Qingbai, and hummed in agreement.

"good."

Lu Ye and Ye Qingbai left Derentang again.

"Shall I take you home?"

Lu Ye was unusually considerate today, after all, Ye Qingbai had been busy with him since morning and hadn't had a chance to go home yet.

Ye Qingbai glanced at his watch; it wasn't time to buy groceries or cook dinner yet. He said, "Company Commander, it's still early. Why don't you come to my house with me? My dad really admires you. Let them see the true face of the legendary hero."

Ye: "Really, I used to tell my dad about your heroic deeds every time I went home. My dad also served as a cook for three years. His biggest dream was to become a special forces soldier, but he was assigned to the logistics department to raise pigs instead."

Lu Ye glanced at him and refused very firmly, "I'm not going, I'm going to buy groceries and cook."

"No way, you're not familiar with Bincheng, where are you going to buy groceries? Come with me to my house first, my dad is practically your future father-in-law, and your girlfriend is my cousin, shouldn't you go and visit my dad?"

Ye Qingbai's words seemed to have persuaded Lu Ye.

He asked, "Is your home far away?"

Ye Qingbai hurriedly shook his head, "It's not far, not far at all."

"Company commander, since you're going to take me home anyway, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

Ye Qingbai insisted, and it would be impolite for Lu Ye to refuse again.

They are now relatives.

He has to take his girlfriend's brother seriously.

"Okay, I'll go buy some things first."

Lu Ye bought some fruit from a roadside fruit stand, put it in a red mesh bag, and got into the car.

They then took Ye Qingbai home.

It was said to be a ride for Ye Qingbai, but in reality, Ye Qingbai was driving himself.

He only sent a car, not a person.

Ye Qingbai became extremely wild as soon as he returned to his home field.

Especially in terms of driving skills.

It's not that it drives fast, but rather that it flies slowly.

Even Lu Ye, a seasoned company commander, was almost overwhelmed.

She glared at him angrily and cursed.

"Company commander, what are you afraid of? There are no cars on the road." Ye Qingbai drifted and parked the jeep in front of his own house.

However, there was a black Santana parked at the entrance, and he almost grazed it without noticing.

Lu Ye looked around and realized that Ye Qingbai's house and Ye Rufeng's house were not far apart.

It's about four or five kilometers.

It's likely that the families living in the relatives' quarters all reside in old houses, which are relatively close to each other.

"Company Commander, we're here. This is my home." Ye Qingbai introduced to Lu Ye, but his gaze fell on the Santana parked at the entrance.

Are there guests at home?

Luckily, he's a good driver; otherwise, if he had shown off a bit more, it would have been embarrassing if he had scratched someone's car.

"Please come in quickly."

Lu Ye carried the fruit from the car and followed Ye Qingbai through the vermilion gate.

Ye Qingbai called out "Dad," and soon a fat uncle with a big head and thick arms came out of the hall.

"Dad, I'm home."

When Ye Jingsong saw his son, his eyes were full of surprise. "Qingbai, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

"Dad, do I have to report to my parents before I go back to my own home?" Ye Qingbai asked, his tone full of willfulness.

Ye Jingsong chuckled, "That's not what I meant, but at least give me a call so I can be mentally prepared."

After speaking, his gaze fell on the man next to Ye Qingbai.

Ye Qingbai introduced, "This is our company commander, Lu Ye."

"Lu Ye? You're actually Company Commander Lu?" Ye Jingsong looked at Lu Ye and was overjoyed to hear his name.

He immediately stood up straight, saluted Lu Ye, and introduced himself.

"I am Ye Jinsong, a retired veteran."

Ye Qingbai's lips twitched slightly.

His father actually introduced himself like this.

For some reason, as a son, I found myself with tears in my eyes.

He is not anyone's father; he is just a veteran named Ye Jinsong.

Lu Ye returned the salute, saying, "Hello, Uncle Ye."

"Please come in quickly."

Ye Jingsong stared at Lu Ye with the eyes of someone looking at an idol, his face beaming with pride, and welcomed him into the hall.

As soon as he entered, the lady of the house came to greet him. She was momentarily surprised to see Ye Qingbai, but quickly smiled and greeted him.

"Oh, Qingbai's back?"

Ye Qingbai, carrying his luggage, said in a nonchalant tone, "Yes, Aunt Lan, were you disappointed to see me come back?"

Stepmother Wang Lan's expression stiffened slightly, and Ye Jingsong complained with a stern face, "How dare you talk to your Aunt Lan like that?"

Ye Qingbai ignored him and followed Lu Ye into the house. After sitting down, seeing no guests, he asked Ye Jingsong with suspicion, "Dad, what's that Santana at the door...?"

“That’s for your younger brother.” Aunt Lan swayed her hips as she poured water for them. “Our family’s farm is doing well. We made some money this year. Your brother has also come of age. He couldn’t concentrate on his studies and wanted to come with us to do farming. He’s always clamoring to buy us a car, so your dad and I thought we’d give him a decent birthday present.”

Upon hearing his stepmother's words, Ye Qingbai immediately flew into a rage.

"A birthday present? That's a birthday present for Ye Qingchuan?"

He gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Jingsong, demanding, "Dad, what did you give me for my eighteenth birthday?"

He gave a sarcastic smile, "You're sending me away, a thousand miles away."

With guests present, Ye Qingbai showed no respect and immediately lost his temper, leaving Ye Jingsong embarrassed and sweating profusely.

He can't afford to offend any of the people in his family.

Wang Lan said, "Qingbai, you can't have any objections to this. You're a soldier, you don't do business with us. Even if we buy you a car, would you even have a chance to drive it?"

Ye Jingsong glared at his wife, then quickly smiled apologetically and explained to Ye Qingbai, "Don't listen to your Aunt Lan's nonsense. That car was bought for the family. When doing business, you have to have a certain image. Otherwise, when I go out to do business, people will always look down on me as a pig farmer and give me strange looks. Besides, that car wasn't expensive; it was secondhand."

After hearing Ye Jingsong's explanation, Ye Qingbai's expression softened slightly.

He glanced at Wang Lan casually.

Wang Lan pursed her lips and decided not to bring it up again, but instead warmly invited Lu Ye to drink water.

"Thank you, Auntie."

When Ye Qingbai returned, Ye Jingsong asked Wang Lan to buy groceries and prepare dinner.

They said they'd prepare some main dishes because they wanted to drink that night.

Lu Ye politely declined, "Uncle Ye, I won't stay for dinner. I have something to do later."

He has to buy groceries and cook today.

Ye Qingbai was still upset because his father had bought a Santana. He put his bag in the room and said to Lu Ye,

"Company Commander, aren't you going to buy groceries to cook for my second grandfather and the others? I'll go with you."

Seeing that Ye Qingbai was about to take Lu Ye away so soon, Ye Jingsong tried his best to persuade him to stay, "Company Commander Lu, please stay for dinner. What kind of groceries should we buy?"

He glared at his ignorant son with displeasure.

Ye Qingbai met his father's resentful gaze and spoke.

"By the way, did you know that my second grandfather has a granddaughter? Our company commander Lu is my cousin's boyfriend. He's going to buy groceries to cook for my second grandfather. If you leave him here, my second grandfather won't have any food tonight."

Ye Jingsong looked incredulous. "Your second grandfather really has a granddaughter? You mean it's true that your aunt has a daughter?"

A few days ago, his wife ran into Ye Tiandong's wife, Li Li, and Li Li asked Wang Lan about this matter.

When Wang Lan came back, she asked him if his cousin had ever been married.

He scolded me.
