Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen sent another message to his mother, saying that he would be going back today.

When my mom heard that her dog son was coming back, she was overjoyed and didn't even go to the fields; she went straight to catch chickens!

Ye Chen and his second uncle set off after breakfast, and it was around 9:30 when they returned to their hometown county.

"Second Uncle, why don't you come to my house for a visit? It's been a long time since you've been there!" Ye Chen invited.

Uncle hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your aunt has probably taken the car from home. I don't have a car to get back to the county town, so you'll have to make the whole trip later!"

Ye Chen waved his hand: "That's no problem. We can drive fast anyway. You haven't seen your sister in a while. Come on, I'll pick you up again tonight!"

Second Uncle nodded: "Okay, as long as you don't mind the trouble, I'm fine with it. Anyway, it's already past 9 o'clock, so let's rest for another day and go back to work tomorrow."

The Patton driving into the small county town was quite eye-catching. Many people were probably seeing this kind of car for the first time, so it's normal to be a little shocked.

"Holy crap, what kind of car is that?"

"I don't know, is it an armored vehicle? This is the first time I've ever seen one!"

"It has a blue license plate, it's not an official vehicle? That's strange!"

"It looks really impressive. Isn't this better than BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi? It probably costs hundreds of thousands!"

"You bumpkin, look for yourself. I just searched it up, and his name is Patton!"

......

One girl was so engrossed in watching that she bumped into a traffic light pole.

A driver of a car kept glancing in Ye Chen's direction, and even tried to take out his phone to take pictures, but ended up rear-ending the car in front of him.

My second uncle's hearing has improved now, so he can hear some of the conversations between pedestrians outside the car.

"Hehe, Xiao Chen, look at your car, it's a bit flashy. It gets just as many stares as those supercars!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "After all, big things are eye-catching, and everyone likes big things."

"Hehehe, that seems to make sense!"

My second uncle chuckled lewdly.

To avoid causing traffic congestion, Ye Chen quickly drove away from the city and returned to the village around 10:30.

There are few people in the village, so Ye Chen probably won't even see him drive back.

Those who want to return home in glory will probably have to wait until the New Year, when there will be too many people!

Otherwise, you'll just be wasting your time and fuel!

However, when Ye Chen was driving almost home, he saw a familiar face.

Sister-in-law Xiuying! That is, the Sister-in-law Xiuying who introduced him to blind dates.

Oh dear, the whole village will probably know that Ye Chen changed cars!

Don't be fooled by the small number of people in the village; her intelligence network is quite extensive.

Sister Xiuying stood by the roadside, staring intently at Ye Chen's car.

Ye Chen couldn't pretend he didn't see it. As fellow villagers, he had to show basic courtesy, otherwise he might be gossiped about behind his back.

There will definitely be plenty of comments like Ye Chen has become rich and successful and no longer cares about old friendships, and doesn't even greet people when they meet.

Ye Chen rolled down the car window: "Auntie's picking vegetables!"

"Oh, it's Ye Chen! I thought it was someone else. What's wrong? Did you change your car? Wasn't it the white car with four eggs on it that you drove back last time?!" Sister Xiuying smiled as soon as she saw Ye Chen.

"Oh, right, I borrowed this car from my friend. I drove it back to show off!" Ye Chen made up a story off the top of his head.

"Oh, is that so? They look quite beautiful, you should come down and pick some to take home!" Sister Xiuying said politely.

"No need, I have food at home. See you later, I'm heading back now!" Ye Chen nodded, gave a brief farewell, and continued driving home.

Sister Xiuying glanced at the rear of Ye Chen's car and muttered, "Heh, borrowing someone else's car to drive, that's really something. Was that the last one borrowed too?"

Ye Chen must have heard it, but he didn't care.

Uncle smiled and nodded: "You've learned to hide your talents, haven't you? Yes, that's how it should be. Only the poor try to prove they're better off than others. The truly wealthy are all very low-key, and some even pretend to be poor."

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

The vehicle soon arrived at the gate of the yard, and Da Huang rushed out from afar, wagging its tail frantically and barking every now and then.

This silly dog ​​must know he's back, that's why it's so excited.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Chen got out of the car, the silly dog ​​pounced on him, grinning excitedly with its tongue lolling out.

"I'm warning you, don't lick me! Did you brush your teeth?!" Ye Chen warned Da Huang!

Big Yellow didn't lick it up then, but it was still very excited, jumping around.

Ye Chen patted the big yellow dog's head: "Haven't seen you in a while, missed me, huh? Craving durian fried chicken? I brought you an extra portion this time!"

When Dahuang heard about durian fried chicken, its entire dog face froze, and it glanced at Ye Chen sideways.

"Don't overreact! Durian is delicious. You'll get used to it after a few times, just like when you first tried it—it's always hard at first!"

Ye Chen grinned mischievously.

Ye Chen felt quite warm towards Da Huang when he saw him again.

This silly dog ​​looks much sturdier, and its fur looks much smoother.

He could clearly feel it as he stroked Big Yellow's head.

It seems the cultivation has been effective!

Mother Ye came out to greet them, wearing an apron and holding a spatula: "Chen'er's back!"

"Mom! I brought my second uncle too!" Ye Chen called out.

Mother Ye looked at her second uncle with some surprise: "Oh, the third brother is here too! Where's your wife? Didn't she come with you? Why didn't you say so?"

"Sis, I came by myself. I was just on my way to find Xiaochen, so I thought I'd drop by and see you too!" Second Uncle grinned.

"Come in, come in! My cooking hasn't started yet, hurry up and cook some more rice!" Mother Ye said as she rushed into the house.

Ye Chen opened the trunk, and he and his second uncle each carried a few things into the house.

Ye's father also returned from the fields. He was very happy to see Ye Chen and his second uncle, and the three of them made tea and chatted.

The second uncle offered Ye's father a cigarette, but Ye's father smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I won't smoke, your sister will scold me!"

"Hey, why are we afraid of her? Let's light one!" The second uncle said, lighting a cigarette for Ye's father.

Ye Chen's father ultimately failed to quit smoking, and the two of them continued to smoke with great enjoyment.

Fortunately, his second uncle was there to shield him this time, so Ye's father felt a little more at ease taking the hit.

In the end, Ye's mother still caught them smoking, and she scolded them both with her hands on her hips.

The main target of their scolding was their second uncle!

"Your brother-in-law has quit smoking, why are you still letting him smoke? He's not allowed to smoke anymore, it's all smoky and noisy. If he smokes again, neither of us will be eating!"

Ye's mother's threat had an effect; Ye's father and second uncle reluctantly stubbed out their cigarettes, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.

Lunch was quite plentiful, including free-range chicken soup, local pig's trotters, deep-fried wild stream fish, cold pig's tongue salad, braised beef, and stir-fried vegetables.

Although it's a simple five-dish-and-one-soup meal, they're all substantial dishes.
