Chapter 1263 Passed back (monthly ticket +1)
The father and son spent an afternoon shopping and ordered more than a dozen quilts and more than forty sets of cotton-padded clothes, which was considered a big deal.
When I went back in the evening, I chatted with other people and the bosses of other ships also made plans to make reservations when they have a break in the near future.
We still have to go to sea as usual tomorrow, otherwise a day not gone will be a day's loss. Unless the wind and waves don't allow it, we really can't rest.
With so many people at the port here, you can imagine that when winter comes, there is a huge demand for warm things, and the prices will definitely increase. It’s better to order early before it gets completely cold in the near future.
Ye Yaodong sorted through the photos he developed during this period. There were various big fish, busy scenes on the pier, photos of dozens of their boats sailing on the sea, and even single photos of them on the boat.
He didn't just take pictures of himself, but also took one or two pictures of other boatmen.
When he goes out, he always wants to take a few photos to keep as a souvenir in the future. He is not stingy. When he takes photos himself, he will also take a few photos for others.
Others also asked him to take it back with him.
He put them all into an envelope, waited until dinner was finished and saw that the time was almost up, then went to the agreed-upon Ok room.
Just when he arrived at the door of a new house, he heard the sound of music coming from inside. The sound insulation effect was extremely poor.
No one was singing yet, just music. It was only about 7 o'clock, it had just darkened, and the nightlife had just begun.
He glanced at the large colorful iron sign above his head, opened the door and walked in. The music was louder.
Zhang Rensu was already sitting inside and waving to him.
Ye Yaodong looked around. Rather than saying this was an OK hall, it was better to say that it was just a place with a few tables, a set of singing equipment, and a dance floor in the middle. It might be more appropriate to call it a dance hall.
He walked towards Zhang Rensu and his group. Five or six men and women were already sitting there. Not long after he sat down, someone else opened the door and came in and walked towards them.
Zhang Rensu introduced him one by one. They all looked familiar to him. Those he had met before were all his cousins. There were only a few friends he didn't recognize.
I've never seen the women before, they said they were just friends we called out to play together, and none of them were wives.
Ye Yaodong understood as soon as he heard that they were all here for fun.
He also introduced him to everyone and boasted a lot, saying that he spanned two provinces and was a well-known boss and ship boss. He owned dozens of big ships and hundreds of workers in both provinces.
There is a factory building, but the president is still...
Ye Yaodong just smiled and said a few words of humility, bragging on occasion, there was nothing he couldn't do.
After Zhang Rensu gave him a blowjob, the men and women became more enthusiastic towards him, and he drank several glasses of wine.
There were girls who took the initiative to sit next to him, chat with him and tease him.
"Take good care of my friend and have fun at night."
Everyone happily responded, the atmosphere became lively, and some began to sing.
Ye Yaodong also handed the photo envelope to Zhang Renya, asking him to drop by their place and take it to his factory, and someone would naturally deliver it to his home.
Then he toasted a few more glasses of wine, and the girl next to him pulled him around and asked her to drink. After a while, another one sat down and he was sandwiched between the two girls.
He knew that he was good-looking, so he smiled and chatted with the two of them and drank as much as they wanted.
Of course, this was definitely not a party for drinking flowers and wine, just a gathering of friends. Everyone was very well-behaved, and at most they were hanging around and joking.
The game lasted until midnight. After someone left the game, Ye Yaodong also said hello, saying that he was going to sea early in the morning and wanted to go first.
Unexpectedly, the two girls came out to see him off and wanted to ask him to hang out tomorrow night. He just shook his head and refused, saying that he would go to sea tomorrow and would stay at sea for the next few days.
He has heard that some of the ship bosses who have been working in this port in recent years have also married wives and settled down here.
It is equivalent to one home in my hometown and one home here, and there are many more.
Some women don't mind, as long as they have money.
He doesn't have this idea. He might not come next year. It's okay to just hang out with friends and have fun.
Ye Yaodong came out half-drunk and half-awake. After blowing in the wind for a while, he regained consciousness and quickly trotted home on the main road.
He is now alone, walking slowly, who knows what will happen to him on the way, so he rushes home quickly and is safer.
Fortunately, it was no surprise and no one was encountered on the road.
But when I was almost home, near the pier, I met some people who were talking and laughing after selling out their goods, and some who were singing songs and talking dirty words after walking around the red light district.
Father Ye was sitting at the door and taking a nap. He woke up when he heard Ye Yaodong calling him.
"Why are you sitting at the door so late?"
"Aren't you worried that you won't be able to come back? Don't go there next time. How dangerous is it to be alone in the middle of the night?"
"Oh, I ran back quickly, it's okay."
"If I didn't know where the place was and everyone was asleep, I would have taken someone out to find you. Don't go alone next time."
"I know, let's go inside and sleep."
Ye Yaodong put his hand on his father's shoulder and walked into the house. Listening to his father's dissatisfaction and worries, he fell asleep.
The next day, he went to sea again, but he only went there for three or four days when he received the typhoon warning notice from the radio. Even though they felt that the wind and waves were bearable, they decided to return directly to Hong Kong after discussion. They were not afraid of 10,000 yuan.
Afraid of what might happen.
Ye Yaodong only felt unlucky, his pockets were empty, and he was thinking about going out more often to make more money, when another typhoon formed.
There are more than a dozen typhoons, big and small, every year, and it is depressing enough that it lasts until the National Day every year.
However, I also made a fortune during this trip, which just relieved me a bit. I now have six to seven thousand yuan in my hand, and I will have enough money to pay the final payment when I pick up my quilts and clothes in a few days.
Except for the time he just came back from rebirth, he has never felt that money on hand has been so tight. Fortunately, every salary is pressed down, so there is no need to pay it now. At most, it can be given as an advance to some lavish spenders.
He just happened to take advantage of the typhoon to return to Hong Kong and rest at home for a few days. He could also go to the shipyard and look at the cargo ship.
He chose the largest local shipyard, a state-owned shipyard. I heard that it was also responsible for key national engineering projects and national defense construction tasks.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, or I’m just bragging, but the scale is obvious to all.
He also inquired before making the decision. Some of the large ships in the local port were basically produced by this large factory. Other small factories could only handle the manufacturing or maintenance of small and medium-sized fishing boats.
In recent years, our country's economic system has been transforming into a market economy. Non-state-owned small and medium-sized shipbuilding companies have appeared in some large ports. Port cities here have mushroomed, and many of them are foreign-funded.
But even taking on the work of manufacturing and repairing small and medium-sized fishing boats has made those factories prosperous.
There is also a guarantee in choosing a domestic shipyard. The sophisticated instruments in his cockpit are imported. If they are placed in a small factory, they may be dismantled by him, and he will have no place to cry.
The large state-owned factory can provide some protection, and when he handed the boat over to the factory, he also took a photo, just in case, and it can also be used as evidence.
Taking advantage of the break during the typhoon, he could also have time to go there and keep an eye on it.
After returning to the port, you can see endless fishing boats of various sizes and shapes on the pier.
This place itself is also a safe haven. At this time, the fishing boats have returned, and thousands of fishing boats have filled the fishing port. This is also a grand occasion that is not seen on ordinary days.
After they sold all the goods and returned home to deal with some scattered goods that no one wanted, Ye Yaodong said: "I will take a nap and go to the shipyard when I wake up."
"Let's make a phone call first. Didn't you ask someone to send photos back two days ago? Call me and ask. It's been a week since I called you since the last Mid-Autumn Festival."
"That's okay. By the way, I'd like to ask if the typhoon will affect your home."
Speaking of this, Ye Yaodong remembered again, "It's amazing to call me during the Mid-Autumn Festival. No one at home asked me about buying a boat."
"It probably hasn't been sent back yet. Everyone who called me probably only had time to talk about their own current situation, and hung up after just one minute. There was no time to talk about you."
"Maybe, that would be best. When we go back and have money left over, no one will scold us."
Father Ye nodded.
However, both of them are a little optimistic. Paper cannot cover the fire.
Everyone outside knows that he borrowed tens of thousands to buy a boat worth 100,000.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone took turns calling back to report that they were safe, and only talked about the festival.
Now that the typhoon is off, it hasn't been long since the last phone call, and there isn't that much to say. After greetings, the typhoon didn't affect him, so the matter of buying the boat was naturally exposed.
By the time he woke up in the middle of the afternoon and went back, most people had already made phone calls and gone home.
He and his father were just waiting for the call to be picked up, and they only had time to say "hello" when they were scolded by the other person.
"I heard that you borrowed money to buy a boat worth 100,000 yuan? You still owe tens of thousands. What kind of boat 'Suzuki' costs 100,000 yuan? Is it made of gold?"
"The old ones are confused, and the young ones are too? They borrowed tens of thousands, but the money is not money. The tens of thousands are enough for the whole family to live for a lifetime, and they are still attached to the boat. How many boats do you have...
"
"100,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, no one is looking after you two outside, and you are acting like this..."
"You can buy a boat with so much money, and you can buy a shipyard at home. When you get mad, you don't make any money when you go out, and you owe a lot of debt. How much do you owe..."
Ye Yaodong's ears were shaking. He held the phone far away and looked at his father...
"Give your dad the phone!"
Ye Yaodong hurriedly picked up the phone and put it against his father's ear. When his father tried to shake it off, he pressed his father's head and asked him to answer.
He also leaned closer to the phone and said, "My dad said you can buy it, I asked him..."
Father Ye struggled, "What are you doing..."
A dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.
