Ye Yaodong raised his hands as he walked back. When he reached the corner and was blocked from view, he put his hands in his pockets and shrank his head into his collar.
He was walking on the edge of the road with his back hunched over. The place was a bit empty with not many people coming and going. He touched the watch in his pocket and took it out to check the time.
Although he didn't sit there for a long time, he stayed there for more than ten minutes, and it took him a while to walk over. It was almost 11 o'clock at this time, so he quickened his pace. His father must be waiting impatiently.
Father Ye stood at the entrance of the alley and did not dare to go far. He stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck to look out. After a while, he turned back to look at the motorcycle.
He kept repeating the same action, until Ye Yaodong appeared in his sight with a hunched back, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When someone came closer, he complained: "Why is it taking so long? I've been here for an hour. Why should I say something that takes so long? I don't know if it should be faster. I've been waiting here for so long that my neck has grown long."
Already."
"It doesn't take much time to walk back and forth? How can I spread my butt and stand up and leave immediately? I have to say a few words and be polite."
"Then what do people say? What's the inside story? Has it been reported? Has it been investigated? Why doesn't anyone go to the sea to salvage and take advantage of us? Is this stolen goods? Can we handle it ourselves?
Has it been discovered?"
"You threw out this crackling series of questions and asked me which one to answer? I didn't know what to ask one by one. They were all thrown at me at once."
Ye Yaodong complained casually and then said: "I just said that the water here is very deep and the involvement is very big. It needs to be kept secret now. He doesn't know the situation and has handed it over to the superiors. Also, I also asked tentatively, Wan
If another ship catches this box and resells it directly, will there be any problem?"
"He only said that it is currently under confidentiality, and no one who has not been in contact would know about it. That's it, he didn't say anything else."
Father Ye thought about it for a moment, "That means that if the thing doesn't get into the hands of the insider, then it doesn't matter?"
"That's probably what it means."
"Would your asking this make people suspect that we still have some on hand?"
He had thought about this problem before.
"The incident has been handed over, and they didn't even think about salvaging it. They can give us an advantage. That box of goods should be enough as evidence, right?"
"Whatever, Director Chen guessed that we still have some on hand, but we can't do anything about it. This is what we fished from the sea, and it's not illegal income. What's more, it's selfish, and it's human nature. Who is so enlightened?
?”
"We are just small fishermen. We should report it. Director Chen has already reported it before. Whether there are more boxes of goods coming out next has little to do with him."
What Father Ye said makes sense.
"Have those people who were captured been released?"
"No, they are still detained there. They also reminded us to contact the new fresh harvesting ship. We don't have to wait for the original one. I don't know how to deal with it? I guess the people in the city don't know very well here in the county.
.”
"Oh, those people have nothing to do with us anyway. It's just a pity and unlucky. We hit the cargo ship and took all the people in it. Now we are really going to lose everything."
"It's like doing business in the sea. All the properties of several families are on the same boat. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. But if you really want to let people do other things, they won't be able to do it."
Ye Yaodong also sighed in his heart, nothing is easy, there are unforeseen circumstances, and money is not that easy to earn.
"Let's go, don't you still want to go to the shipyard?"
"Let's go find something to eat first. We are like iron rice and steel. If we don't eat even one meal, we will feel hungry. It's already noon. Let's go have a meal and then go to the shipyard. Otherwise, who knows what we will end up talking about.
when."
"That's okay too."
Father Ye turned to look at the big bump on the motorcycle and frowned again, "I had known I was riding a bicycle. Riding with such a big bump in the city can't be fast. People are coming and going, and I'm still eating gas. I'm worried about not having a place."
Even if you park it casually on the roadside, you are worried about people driving it away or damaging it. You are even more worried about driving it back and forth in the county, people will see it, and it will cause trouble to the leaders."
"It should be fine, this is the leader's territory..."
"Forget it, it's just a big place in total, so don't show off too much. I'll buy some meat buns and we'll just make do with it. How can you be so squeamish and want to go to a restaurant to eat? You're here
This is waiting for me to buy..."
After Ye's father said that, he turned around and left. Ye Yaodong didn't even look back when he called him, so he had to wait where he was.
Just make do with one meal, then just make do with one meal, save some time, finish things early, and go home early.
The father and son ate meat buns and water on the spot. After they were full, they rode a motorcycle on a small road to the shipyard.
By the time he came out of the shipyard after careful discussions, the sun had already set in the west, and he had another piece of draft paper in his hand, with more drawings and more detailed writing.
Director Wu also had a smile on his face and enthusiastically walked them to the door and put them on the motorcycle. Watching them leave, he was extremely polite and made the father and son feel particularly at ease. They felt that they were being taken seriously.
However, after getting on the motorcycle, it was not very convenient for the two of them to chat privately, so they could only keep their mouths shut and wait until they got home to talk.
But both father and son were weighing and comparing in their hearts.
When they arrived at home, Father Ye couldn't wait to say after getting out of the car.
"This price is a little bit cheaper. It costs 38,000 in the city. But after a slight modification and optimization in the afternoon, it only costs 35,000. Even though the delivery time is still not as good as in the city."
"After all, the factory is small and can't compare to the city. Let's talk about it after we go in."
The yard was still locked there, and it was only after four o'clock. Everyone was probably busy in the workshop, and Ah Qing hadn't come back to cook yet. He parked his motorcycle on the side of the road and took out the key to open the door.
The dog inside had already been lying on the door and barking when he heard the sound of the motorcycle.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, there were two dogs standing on two feet, tugging at Ye Yaodong's clothes and barking at him.
"Okay, okay, let you go out to play. Go away. Don't pull my clothes. If your nails scratch my clothes, see if I don't just stew dog meat."
The two dogs quickly put down their front hooves and backed away, then immediately jumped out and ran very fast.
There were still two screaming at the window inside the house, and Ye Yaodong opened the door to let them out.
Each one of them just ran away without looking back.
I feel wronged to them. I guess they have been locked up since lunch.
The little black one in the room also banged the door and kept barking. The others ran away and it was the only one left. Don't forget it.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting, I know you are there... I'll open the door right away..."
"Woof woof woof woof...wuwuwu...woof woof..."
After letting all the dogs out, Ye Yaodong went to the back door and squatted in the toilet before coming back, suffocating him to death.
"Lazy people pee a lot and have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Eating, drinking and having sex is a major event in life."
"What do you think? Today's plan is not very different from yesterday's. It only has a few changes. It is a direct discount to us in disguise. Do you want to make it in the county or in the city?"
"Let me think about it, one that's half a year late is 3,000 cheaper, and one that's half a year too early is 3,000 more expensive. That's a lot of money."
In his heart, he still prefers this shipyard in the county. After all, all his ships come from this shipyard. They are familiar with each other once and twice. Everyone is an old acquaintance. The county is close to home, so it is convenient to go there and take a look occasionally.
Just ride a bicycle.
Father Ye nodded, "Yes, the difference of 3,000 yuan is quite a lot, not to mention the difference of only half a year. The ship jointly built by the three brothers will still be shipped to the middle of next year. It is not pushed back. The two ships will be shipped at the same time.
Proceeded."
"His words were not absolute. He kept emphasizing that if possible, he would do so in advance. I will think about it first and think about it."
If you get the boat earlier, you can certainly make money earlier. This difference is half a year, and of course it is not comparable to 3,000 yuan.
It's not that easy to find another big ship for docking. We must start with Aguang's sister-in-law. He doesn't know anyone else. Even the ship doesn't belong to his sister-in-law's family alone. It's a partnership between multiple relatives. It's not that easy to say.
Uncle Zheng's boat was relatively old, and it never traveled very far. If he didn't come back on the same day, he would only dock on the same day, and then continue out after landing. He didn't go far to the East China Sea like them.
Thinking about it, he also felt a headache, but he had a boat at home for easy docking, so he could arrange it directly.
"Just choose the county. It's familiar and close. It's a lot cheaper at 3,000. If you get it too early, you have to worry about not making much money with two ships, but not every trip is filled with good goods.
.It would be nice to arrive on the same boat as the three of you brothers. It’s a double blessing, and the two boats will arrive home together.”
"Let me think about it, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
"Then you can see for yourself. I'll go to the workshop and take a look."
Father Ye believed that he could make a good decision. Anyway, they had already talked about it very carefully. The comparison between the two families was also in front of him. It was up to him to see how he would choose.
Ye Yaodong waited for his father to go out and tapped the table with his fingers. He took out the three lists he had obtained in the past two days, put them together, looked at them carefully and compared them.
Lin Xiuqing was busy working in the workshop. When she saw Father Ye appear and knew that Ye Yaodong was back, she quickly put down what she was doing, checked the time and hurried home. It was time to cook.
When he got home, he was sitting at the table, looking at the paper on the table.
"What are you and dad going to do in the county today? We didn't say anything in the morning, and we didn't say anything yesterday."
"Went to the shipyard..."
He called her over and told her the quotes from the two shipyards, including the pros and cons.
"38,000!!!" Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened and she couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, listen to me, listen to me and tell you properly."
I knew that as soon as I told her the cost, her eyes would bulge out.
Ye Yaodong also told her that she would make at least 40% to 50% of the profits from the fresh harvesting ship, and told her everything.
"It's not expensive at all. After delivery next year, we will have three ships, and we will be able to make back the investment soon. This is just an initial investment..."
She understood his analysis, but she was also heartbroken. After hearing that the county offered only 35,000, she decisively asked him to choose the county directly. What's the difference in half a year?
"It's good to save a little bit, but the money is a lot. We still have seven boats that haven't been paid for. Those ones cost about 20,000 yuan, and here they cost another 35,000 yuan, and they all have to be paid next year.
Calculating from this year to next year, we will have to pay 50,000 to 60,000 yuan at once. If possible, we might as well ask him to postpone the delivery date for a while..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was thinking about making the delivery date earlier, but she was thinking about making it later.
"It's too much. You have to pay so much in one or two years... Why don't you let it go first?"
"Don't make any noise. You promised me well before and order one first."
"But I didn't know it was so expensive..."
"How expensive is the price of a 34-meter boat? It's not expensive at all. My wife who knows how to get her money back, look into my eyes!" Ye Yaodong took her hand and stretched his head towards her.
Lin Xiuqing stretched out her index finger and poked his forehead hard, pushing his head away, "Look at you, you can figure it out yourself."
"Okay, then I'll take care of it myself."
As soon as she finished speaking and took two steps out, she couldn't help but stop and said: "If you really have to choose, then choose the one in the county. Paying 3,000 yuan less is still a small amount. We are not in a hurry, we have it at home."
There are so many ships. In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s uncertain, and can we still make money? There are so many, how can we keep busy?”
"Didn't we agree? Just rent the rest and let the boys in the workshop handle the receipt of the goods. They will give you the bill of goods and you collect the money. They don't handle the money. This is very reassuring. You just need to arrive at the right time.
It’s okay if I have to settle the accounts, I’ll just look at my big boat at home.”
She said helplessly: "Then you can figure it out yourself."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong collected the three sheets on the table, folded them, and took them back to the room.
In his mind, he now prefers to book directly with the county to save trouble. He is now a guest in the county, but he has no say in the shipyard in the city.
If you have anything to do, it's also convenient to go over and have a look, give me some advice, chat, or drink tea.
I'll just go there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to make a decision. It's already too late today.
He went into the house and came out immediately.
"How many children are in the workshop?"
"Well, they were all in the workshop. They said you would pay them hourly wages, one cent an hour. They were all very enthusiastic. As soon as they came back, they dropped their schoolbags and left. After the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law heard that they were paid, they didn't rush them.
They did their homework."
"Haha, they don't like to do homework anyway. They just cram for it. The difference is not big. If they don't do their homework, they will definitely get a whipping when they go to school the next day. They have to cram for it the same way."
"I'm just afraid that you will teach me bad things, and everyone will be obsessed with money."
"That's not the case. This is equivalent to teaching them in advance that they can get rich through hard work. Only when they work hard can they get something. Every time you give, you will gain. It's not like giving it to them for nothing. They have to make money through their own hard work. The joy of harvest will make people happy.
To fly."
"You've told me everything, so what else can I say?"
After Lin Xiuqing poured the washed rice into the pot, she sat down in front of the stove and took a bundle of straw to light the fire. The light of the fire made her face even redder.
Originally, my face was red after working in the workshop all day.
"What are you looking at? If you have nothing to do, come over and help me light the fire."
"Hehe, I think your hair looks good when it's long, and it's grown a lot."
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and touched the long ponytail on the back of her head, "It's too long and in the way. You always press my hair when you sleep. It's annoying."
"As long as it looks good."
"I haven't cut it for two and a half years. Let's keep it for now. When it gets older, cut it off and sell it for money. It's a pity to cut it off now."
It's a pity that the experience with short hair is not as good as with long hair.
"Why are you still standing there? Otherwise, go to the yard and cut a handful of leeks for me and scramble eggs tonight."
"oh."
Ye Yaodong obeyed the instructions and went to the yard to look for leeks. He saw that half of the small vegetable patch in the yard was green and green, and he couldn't finish it. The other half had not been sown yet and had to be sown in the next two days.
Thinking about it, there was quite a lot of work in the past two days. I probably need to rest for a day or two. The nylon awning that his father built has not been finished yet. I will ask him to do it tomorrow.
"Ah, you forgot the quilt?"
He returned to the house and asked, "Did my father go to the ship this morning to move the bed down?"
"No."
"Oh, I'll tell him later."
As he said that, he planned to go out. There were people watching at home anyway, and he couldn't help with the cooking. He went to the workshop to see if the children were active in the work.
The pile of goods that I brought back yesterday was as big as a mountain. After a day, it has become much smaller, but at a glance, there are still baskets piled up in the entire corner.
I can't finish it at all, and I won't be able to finish it even if I work for another day tomorrow. I guess I will have to work for another day the day after tomorrow.
The children were given clear divisions of labor in washing and drying, and because they were young, they were assigned simple tasks and were not allowed to touch knives.
After seeing him coming, they all shouted "Uncle San" very loudly.
"Don't be lazy. Your wages will be deducted for being lazy."
"Don't worry, uncle, we are not lazy, we are holding our pee in."
"That's not a big deal, as long as you're not a lazy person who pees a lot. You also need to keep your timing accurate. If you take advantage of me, you won't have such a good opportunity to make personal money next time."
They all nodded quickly to express their loyalty.
"Don't worry, Third Uncle, we won't make false reports."
"Yes, if anyone makes a false report, we will beat him to death."
"Third uncle, when the time comes to calculate your wages, can you give it directly to me instead of my mother?" Ye Chenghe said softly.
"What? Do you want to save money to buy something to eat for your little girlfriend, or do you want to save money for a gift in advance?"
Ye Chenghe's face immediately turned red.
"No, if you give the money to my mother, then you can beat a dog with a meat bun..."
"Shhhhhhh... you idiot, keep your voice down..."
Ye Yaodong crossed his arms on his chest, "Do you think you can keep it if I give you the money?"
"Then why don't you give me a little less? Let's save yours first?"
"What time do you come back and what time do you go to bed? Does your mother know? Doesn't she count how long you have been doing today? Are you still trying to do something under your nose?"
There was a burst of wailing in an instant, and the enthusiasm on everyone's face was shattered.
"Forget it, I won't do it anymore. Anyway, all I do is for my mother."
"I won't do it anymore, I might as well go out and play."
Ye Chenghai even thought about how when he picked squid last year, all the wages he earned went into his mother's pocket. She didn't give him a penny and made him work so hard that he almost died.
His face became even grayer and he immediately went on strike.
"You are all idiots. I didn't tell your mother about the money calculation. You got carried away and yelled about it. Who is to blame? Now you can't even think about not doing it. If you dare not to do it, your mother's whip can beat you to death. How dare you?
Let them make less money?"
Each one of them immediately cried and looked like they were about to die. This was so different from what they expected!
"Just work hard for me, otherwise, I will deduct your wages and you will still have to be beaten."
My energy and energy were gone in an instant! If I didn’t have any money, I’d forget about it, and there was still the risk of being beaten.
"Cheer up! I can ask the old lady to get some for you then."
Several people looked at each other, which was okay.
"All right."
"I'll teach you a way. When you go back for dinner in the evening, negotiate the terms with me first. If you don't divide your half, you won't do it. Well... although you may get a beating, at least there is a high probability that you can win it.
, and you can hold it openly, without having to be sneaky."
He couldn't spoil them, coaxing them out of his own pocket every day, asking them to get paid as much as they did for whatever they did. This had to be done fairly, lest they get spoiled and think that he had to back them up, and if they didn't, they would have to make up for it.
The matters between you and your wife must be left to their own devices.
Each one of them involuntarily touched their buttocks first, not that they were probably going to get a spanking, but they were definitely going to get a spanking.
As long as they dare to say it, their buttocks will bloom first at night.
"Will this work?"
"Of course it can be done. Think about it, you have three children in your family, and each of them works 4 hours a day. That's 1.2 yuan, which is almost equivalent to an adult's salary. And it's not just a full day off on Sunday, one
Yue Ping can earn an extra forty or fifty yuan for nothing, is your mother willing to give it up? The three of you together can be worth what she earns alone. After the fight, I will definitely have to coax you to do it."
Ye Chenghe immediately became happy, "That's okay. If you have money after the beating, you can do it. You can even take off your pants and beat me."
"Then go and tell mother that night and ask for a share of the labor."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You speak first, and then I will help you speak together, so that your mother can be gentler when she hits you, and I will help you divert her attention."
Ye Chenghe thought about it and felt it made sense. He couldn't be beaten alone, "I'll take care of it!"
Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chenghai in confusion as he fooled Ye Chenghe. Is this okay?
How straight are Ye Chenghe's cranial nerves?
This idiot can't even turn a corner. I feel a little worried for him. He will be eaten to death by his wife in the future.
Ye Chenghai was very happy, "Good brother, when mother agrees, we will share the money equally when the time comes. I will definitely not take advantage of you just because I am older than you."
Ye Chenghe nodded happily, "I'll talk to my mother when I go back for dinner later."
Ye Chengjiang was also dumbfounded? Why doesn't he have such a good brother?
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh to death. He quickly turned his back and walked to the side, to the sorting side, and helped with some work.
Originally, Ah Qing and his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were doing the sorting here. Now the three of them have gone home to cook, and the stools are all empty. Only the old lady is still sitting there doing the work.
This job is not easy, you have to bend down all the time, and the three of you have been sorting for a whole day and still have more than half of it.
The main reason is that there are few people sorting, but it will be enough to sort for one day tomorrow.
"Why are you laughing? Are you so happy?" The old lady looked at him with a smile.
"nothing."
"Did you just come back?"
"Well, I just came back. Where is Xiaojiu? I didn't see her when I came here."
"I went to Xiaoyu's place to play. I didn't watch her here for a while, so I went to play in the water. It would be easier to send her there with a companion, so as not to have to watch her."
"Oh, that's right. If you are busy during the day, you can send both of them there. Anyway, Xiaoyu still has two aunts here. Ask them to watch them during the day and pick them up at night."
"It was like this a few days ago..."
After Ye Yaodong sat and chatted with the old lady for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up again like a child with his butt greased. He didn't want to do it anymore and didn't have the patience to sit for a long time.
He planned to go to Lin Jishang's house to see if anyone was at home, and to ask his wife.
By arranging that batch of goods earlier, he could rest assured earlier and avoid having to pile them up in the yard. Then he would secretly pick out the caviar at night and move it home.
Lin Jishang has been cleansed now, and it doesn't matter if he has more dealings with him in a fair and aboveboard manner. Anyway, everyone is saying that Lin Jishang is following him.
However, as he expected, this guy is not at home. His wife said that he went out after weighing 5,000 kilograms of his goods a few days ago. He has not come back yet and has not called. She doesn’t know when she will be able to return.
return.
He said that as soon as he goes out, he basically loses contact, unless he comes back on his own.
Ye Yaodong could only go back home temporarily, and the goods in the yard could only be piled up until someone came back.
When it got dark after the meal, he was about to pick out the goods in the yard, but he was surprised to see A Guang pushing a cart of boxes over and standing at his door calling him.
"Are you really serious?"
"Do you think I'm telling you a lie? I came back too late with you yesterday. I cleaned up and had a heart-to-heart talk with my father. We talked for a long time and it was quite late. It's broad daylight today and I felt it was too eye-catching.
So I didn’t send it over, thinking it would be better to send it over after dark.”
"Didn't your father call you stupid?"
"My dad is shrewd, a little shrewd, but not that greedy. If you tell him, he will understand."
"I understand, I understand, but I'm afraid I'll feel unhappy. After all, I've got it all, and if I give it back and leave a knot, that would be bad..."
"No, he thinks what I said makes sense."
"I'm not bad at this either..."
"You're welcome. I know it would be ugly to just accept it, but who of us is following the other? There's no need to push it. Let's move out together."
"Ahem, okay. Since you said so and you sent it over, let's move in. I won't push you around anymore. I'll give you a red envelope later. It'll look good on you.
.”
"Yeah, okay."
Chapter completed!
