"My mother asked you to answer the phone..."
Ye Yaodong pressed down on his father to prevent him from hiding.
The storm on the phone didn't stop.
"You old fool, you don't feel sorry for the money you didn't earn. What's wrong with instigating him? Instigating him to buy such an expensive boat. What kind of boat can't be bought? It costs 100,000 yuan..."
"100,000 yuan can buy me dozens of lives. A fishing boat at home only costs a few thousand yuan, and the big ones only cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan can buy a fleet of boats. Are you old and confused?"
"Do you owe tens of thousands? Oops, I have a headache. You have to pay for all the money... I'm so old, and I'm so old and prodigal..."
"Forget about being a small prodigal, you are so unreliable that you actually watched him owe tens of thousands, how are you going to pay it back?"
"I owed tens of thousands of dollars in debt when I went out, and I said I would make people laugh to death..."
Father Ye struggled for a while, but couldn't. He became even angrier and cursed loudly: "What are you talking about? You have long hair and short knowledge. You don't know anything. What are you talking about? What do you know?
?”
"I don't know anything. Just tell me here. Shut your mouth. The boat is worth buying. There is no shop like this after passing this village."
Ye Yaodong held the phone in his hand and looked at the counter lady at the counter with an expressionless face. She looked at them with disgust. Fortunately, they spoke in dialect and people here could not understand them.
Ye's father scolded Ye's mother on the phone.
Ye Yaodong felt that both sides were scolding each other at the same level, so both sides should be hurt, so he took the phone again to explain.
"You don't understand. That boat is more than 40 meters long and is made of all steel. It's not like the iron and wooden ones we have at home. The facilities and instruments on it are all imported from abroad and are not available in China. They are very expensive. When the time comes, we will spread the net.
If you go down to tens of thousands of kilograms, it's incomparable, and you can get your money back very quickly."
"Also, it's not that I haven't made any money, I still owe a lot of debt. I owe money. At most, I can pay it off after doing some work next month. Didn't I remit tens of thousands of dollars intermittently last month?"
"Think about where there is any debt. I bought this with the money I earned. If I want to buy it in the future, I won't be able to buy it. There is no such store in this village anymore. If I want to buy it, it will probably take a few years before the same thing can be purchased in China.
configuration."
"If you don't understand, don't worry about it. It didn't cost you any money anyway. Give the phone to Qing."
Mother Ye was not willing to be refuted like this and cursed a few more times before calling Lin Xiuqing.
Before Lin Xiuqing could say anything, Ye Xiaoxi shouted, "Dad, you bought a new boat again. You are the most majestic dad."
Ye Yaodong was originally frowning, but suddenly he was smiling.
"You are here too."
"Yes, yes, dad, I saw the photo. There are so many boats, so majestic. Dad, you are so awesome."
"Did you see the photo? The photo was delivered?"
"There are many photos, including big turtles, big fish, and many boats, just like ants. All the photos are boats, and they all belong to our family."
Ye Yaodong knew as soon as he heard this that the child had misunderstood.
He thought she was talking about the sailing photos they took on the way from Wenshi to Zhoushi.
It turned out not to be the case. It turned out to be photos of fish boats densely packed on the pier.
"Not all of them are from our family..."
"In our family, my father is the most majestic and powerful. He can make a lot of money..."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "He was so happy when he saw the photos you sent back. He jumped up and down and called a lot of boats. Big fish and turtles kept calling."
"When did you get the photo?"
"I just got it in the afternoon, so before she was over excited, she immediately ran over and yelled when she heard the call."
"Did it get delivered to the city yesterday?"
"Yes, A Liang said that the boss who used to collect kelp took it to the factory yesterday. Today, the family has a tractor and went to the city, so he brought it back."
"Just get it..."
Ye Yaodong briefly told her about his relationship with Zhang Renya. Before, he only briefly reported that he was safe when he called her, and there was no detailed report.
By the way, he also explained the reason for buying the fishing boat, and assured her that she would only make money and not lose money, and she would still make a fortune at the end of the year.
Although Lin Xiuqing wanted to say something, her mother had already scolded her severely just now, so it was hard for her to scold her again over the phone, so she bought everything.
You can't go back after scolding, you can only accept it first and then read it again when you come back.
"Do you have enough money? Do you want me to remit the money to you?"
"No need. I embezzled A Guang's money. He was eager to give me all the money. If you don't have any money, you don't need to hide it everywhere. I still have a few thousand yuan in hand, which is enough. I can go to sea again after the typhoon.
It will take one more month to pay him back, but he has nowhere to spend the money anyway."
"It's almost October. After October, there won't be any typhoons."
"Look, I hope."
The old lady on the side couldn't wait to say, "Are you ready? Is it agreed? Is it my turn? Dongzi..."
Lin Xiuqing had to turn the phone to the old lady first.
"Dongzi, it's the Autumnal Equinox now and the weather is getting colder. You didn't bring thick clothes with you. Remember to buy more thick clothes to avoid catching a cold."
"Oh, I asked you to come back first, but no one listened. It's getting cold right now. You just rolled up a straw mat and went out without bringing any clothes or quilt. It costs a lot of money to buy this..."
"You are such a lavish spender. You want a boat for 100,000 yuan? My heart trembles..."
Ye Yaodong said: "Don't worry, I asked Mazu and she said I can buy it?"
"Really? Mazu said you can buy it? Don't fool me."
"I'm not fooling you. We all worshiped Mazu and asked for her blessing. Mazu sent us the boat."
"Ah? You fooled me again."
"I'm not fooling. My dad even asked me if I wanted to buy a car. Fortunately, I'm smart enough to buy a boat. What's the use of a car?"
"What kind of car do you want to buy for your old fool? There are so many cars at home, including bicycles, motorcycles, tractors, and so on. Why do you need that car?"
"You made the right purchase. You should buy a boat, not a car. Don't listen to your father. He's already old and he's not as smart as you and have ideas."
"I don't know what to think about. What's the use of a small car, which is as big as a coffin box? It would be better to buy a big boat..."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Mother Ye was also there and said: "I still want to buy a car, but I really think, why not buy a plane to fly to the sky?"
"If you buy a boat, you can still go fishing and make a lot of money. If you buy a car, can you drive it?"
"I just want to be in the spotlight, return the car, and buy you a plane some other time..."
Father Ye's nose was almost crooked with anger, "When will I ask you to buy a car? You're talking nonsense, you've been pushing me all day long..."
"Dad, just tell me, did you ask me if I wanted to buy a car?"
"That's all I asked..."
"Then I'm not wrong, you just asked..."
The father and son were arguing here, and they were also yelling at each other on the other end of the phone. They each said their own things, and it was very harmonious.
Father Ye sighed angrily, he had no rights anymore and he would take all the blame.
After Ye Yaodong hung up the phone, he put his hand on his father's shoulder and explained.
"If I hadn't pulled this little car just now, my mother would have scolded her endlessly. Look, isn't it better now?"
"When they pulled out a small car, they felt that it was more cost-effective to buy a boat, and it was more worthwhile, so they were not so resistant. Didn't they say nothing later?"
Father Ye glanced at him sideways, "If you had to put the phone to my ear and let me listen to your mother's scolding, I would have almost believed your nonsense."
"Hehe...hehe..."
"Go away."
"It's not like the three of them had to tell each other in turn, so I pulled out the car so that I wouldn't curse."
"I don't know how to scold you anymore? I don't know how to scold you anymore. You already scolded me."
"hehe……"
Father Ye glared at him, "Sooner or later, I will be pissed off by you."
"No, aren't you still waiting to sail the cargo ship?"
"Oh, you think my short life is because I will die before the ship is refitted."
"That's not..."
Ye Yaodong felt that he couldn't be coaxed, and his father had already left angrily.
"Oh, it's really difficult. It's hard to be a son. It's better to be a grandson."
He walked slowly behind.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong!"
Ye Yaodong heard someone calling him and turned around.
Wearing a white shirt, tight pants, small leather shoes, a red headband, exaggerated big red earrings, and curly hair, a beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth pedaled a bicycle and stopped in front of him.
Isn't this the girl who came to him while drinking a few nights ago? What's her name, Shen Ming'e?
"Huh? What a coincidence?"
"It seems like a typhoon is coming. Have all your ships gone to sea?"
"yes."
"Would you like to go out to play tonight?"
"No, it's too chaotic and unsafe here at night. You, a girl, should pay attention to your safety when you go out."
"I always go out with my brothers, so what are you afraid of? Otherwise, why don't we go skating? It's just after dinner, so we can play all afternoon."
"I can't, my arms and legs are old..."
"Hahaha, how old are you? You still have old arms and legs."
"I will be 30 next Chinese New Year. Compared to you, who are only 20 years old, don't I have old arms and legs?"
Shen Ming'e was surprised, "Are you 30? Really? You look as old as us."
"In a few years, my son will be as old as you."
"son!!"
"Yes, my son is almost 10 years old."
She looked disappointed, "You already have a son."
"I have two sons and a daughter."
"Okay, then I'll go find my friends to play by myself."
Ye Yaodong watched her wave and leave on his bicycle, with a look of regret on his face. He heard that this family was from a good family. They owned a shipyard and returned from studying in Nanyang, but he didn't know which factory.
The opportunity to eat soft rice was missed.
He shook his head and continued walking home. Don't think nonsense if it's not your own.
The elderly at home are alive and well, the parents are healthy, the wife is virtuous, the children are lively, and the greatest happiness is already there.
He also has a ship, a factory, and money, so he is already a big winner.
Leave other blessings to others.
But when he was walking to the shipyard, he didn't expect to see this young lady again.
She rushed to the factory director's office angrily and lost her temper. He vaguely heard that the bicycle had been stolen.
The comforting voice of a middle-aged man also came from inside.
After a while, Shen Ming'e came out with a smile on her face again.
Ye Yaodong did not expect that it turned out that her family did not run a shipyard, but her father was the director.
He thought for a moment and stepped forward to say hello.
"Comrade Shen Ming'e."
"Hey? Why are you here?"
"My boat was sent here for renovation. It happened to be a typhoon day, so I came here to take a look when I had nothing to do."
"Oh, which boat do you have? People said before that you have dozens of big boats. Can you point out the real ones to me? I think he is bragging. How old are you? You can't have dozens even if you are 30 years old.
A big boat?”
"Haha...I'll take you to have a look..."
His boat is still waiting in line at the shore. It is not that fast. It is said that the equipment and machinery for such a big boat need to be reserved, and you have to wait for a month.
He was just worried that his ship would remain docked here, and if it was left unattended, the instruments in the wheelhouse would have to be emptied, let alone modifications.
Therefore, even if the work has not started yet, he should come over to take a look and check it when he has time, and ask about the progress and when the work can start.
As for whether he has dozens of big ships? That's not what he said. There are dozens of big ships. If they are all big ships, there is no guarantee.
He didn't have the time to point them out to her one by one.
"Wow, this boat is yours? It's so big!"
"I just bought it, so I sent it over for modification, but there is no queue. The factory seems to be very busy, and it said that the equipment will not be available soon. I have a headache. I don't know if it can be done before the year."
"I told my dad to cut in the queue for you and let them serve some snacks."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"We're all friends, so what's the point of joining the team? You're really awesome. It turns out what the common people say is true. This boat must be more than 40 meters long, right? Oh my God, it's really awesome. Isn't it worth hundreds of thousands?"
"almost."
Shen Ming'e looked at him with stars in her eyes, "Are you alone?"
"Well, I'm alone."
She admired her even more, "Aren't you too awesome? Don't tell me that you have dozens of boats like this?"
"How is it possible? The fishing company doesn't have dozens of them. Who am I? I'm just a vulgar person bragging. My other boats are all twenty or thirty meters long, but this one I just bought is the biggest."
"That's awesome. It's so awesome. This one alone costs hundreds of thousands. You're only 30. My dad, who's 50, isn't as good as you."
"That's not..."
"If you have so many boats, you can register a fishing company."
Ye Yaodong shook his head, "Although individuals are encouraged now, it's still not feasible to register a company, right?"
"Who said that? We can do it here. There have been several shipyards in the past two years. The government encourages individual economy and the streets are full of shops."
"Shipyards belong to shipyards, and shops belong to shops. It shouldn't be possible to register a serious company, right? It's not allowed to get too big now, right? Aren't all local fishing companies state-owned? There are no individual ones yet, right?"
Shen Ming'e was a little confused when she asked him, "It probably depends on the local area. If you have a background, it should be fine. There are various seafood processing plants everywhere here. At most, they just need certificates and filings."
"Besides, I'm not in a hurry anyway, the policy will always be relaxed."
"Can I go up and have a look?" Shen Ming'e pointed at the fishing boat with her index finger.
"Okay, let's go up and have a walk."
Ye Yaodong helped her up, led her around the fishing boat, introduced various structures, and also showed her the cockpit, which made her marvel repeatedly and kept saying that he was so awesome.
After getting off the boat, she took him directly to see the factory director and asked him to take him through the back door.
Director Shen was impressed by him. After all, a handsome young man drove a big boat over and said he wanted to transform it into a fishing trawler. Who wouldn't be impressed?
Which ship boss is not middle-aged or old? Even if there are young ones, they are not sailing such a big ship.
Ye Yaodong's age and appearance were beyond his expectation, so when Shen Ming'e led him to him, he recognized the young man.
"Dad, why don't you help him, put him in line in advance, and get things done for him early? He is my friend, you have to help him, you must help him."
"When did you meet such a capable friend from out of town?"
Shen Ming'e raised her head proudly and hugged his arm, "Of course, I have friends all over the world, and they are all capable."
"I thought all you knew were bad friends."
"No way, it's just that everyone likes to have fun. Why are we so friendly? We are very brave when something happens, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone keep an eye on the progress to see if there is any equipment that can be appropriated first, and let him start the work first. But it will definitely not be that fast. His ship is big, and the renovation is also a big project. There are some oddities.
The accessories and machines are not readily available, so it’s very troublesome and it will definitely take several months.”
Ye Yaodong said quickly: "It doesn't matter. If you can do it first, do it first. If it's not early, you can only wait."
"Then Dad, please make people look at you more carefully."
"You care so much about other people's affairs that you don't care about your own affairs. All you do is play all day long. I'll go to work next week and finish it for you."
Shen Ming'e pouted, "I know."
Ye Yaodong also smiled and thanked Director Shen, and then said to Shen Ming'e: "You are still good, you helped me jump in the queue successfully."
"What's the matter? It's just a matter of one sentence." After she finished speaking, she pushed her father to the office. "Okay, you can go. You can go about your business."
"Throw it away after use, you kid..."
"No, come out, ask someone to make arrangements first, and then go back and sit down after the arrangements are made."
"You have put me under your command? How about you make arrangements? I will work this factory for you? You will pull me out before you even finish a bunch of work in it."
"Really, then I'm here? I'll go in and do it for you, don't regret it."
Director Shen shook his head helplessly and could only make arrangements first.
Shen Ming'e pulled Ye Yaodong to follow her and watched her father make arrangements. After the arrangements were made, she drove her father back to the office with satisfaction and took Ye Yaodong to visit the shipyard.
They were such a big help that Ye Yaodong couldn't just leave, so he followed along to visit and chat along the way.
"What class are you going to?"
"I go to work in a state-owned bank, and they specially arranged a casual position for me to save me from running around."
"Awesome."
Shen Ming'e was unhappy, "No matter how great he is, my brother can follow ordinary people around everywhere. Not to mention how fun it is, but he won't let me follow him."
"Where's the fun in running around? It's very dangerous. Don't you feel that it's very dangerous here? It's the same outside. The domestic security is not good at all. There are many roadblocks and robberies. Outside, everyone has their heads tied.
Don’t even think about going out without a thermal weapon in your waistband.”
"Isn't it chaotic because this is a port?"
"The inland areas that are not ports are also in chaos and will be even more backward. The port areas are considered developed. The hardship of traveling outside is more dangerous than you can imagine."
"Well, my brother keeps saying this too."
"Your brother is doing this for your own good."
"Well, you don't have anything to do on a typhoon day, so I'll teach you how to skate? Damn it in front of you. We just queued up to buy a ticket, and then the bicycle was gone. I was so angry and my mood was gone."
"The old one won't go, and the new one won't come. I'm about to go to the bank to work, why don't I get a new bicycle? Otherwise, how can I be worthy of you?"
The depression on Shen Ming'e's face immediately dissipated and she said with a smile: "Yes, what you said is that the old one won't go and the new one won't come. My dad just gave me the money. Are you going to buy one with me?"
"It's already 3 o'clock now. I have to get off work by the time I go to the department store."
"Then let's go together tomorrow? You have nothing to do anyway."
"I can't see it. You go find your little sister. You girls have good taste. I'm an old man and my aesthetics can't keep up with that of you young girls."
"How come? You don't look much older than me."
"Actually, I am 10 years older. My son is already 10 years old, and my heart is getting older."
When Shen Ming'e heard what he said again, she looked disappointed, "Forget it, I'll leave now. See you next time."
"Okay, see you next time, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief after sending the girl away, because he was afraid that others would take a fancy to him.
There is no way, who makes him look so handsome, capable, rich and handsome, his age shows that he is mature and can love others, he is so attractive!
He walked slowly alone, touched his chin, and sighed, "Oh, the trouble of being handsome."
If she had a weathered face, she would definitely not be so enthusiastic towards him.
But at least his ship has been put on the schedule. Although the construction period may not be advanced, it can give people a snack and start work early, and at least the progress can be seen.
Otherwise, it would be queued up on the shore like before, with no idea when it would be put on the schedule. When he handed it over, he didn't even dare to think that it would be completed before the year.
But there was no other way, and there was no other factory that could reassure him.
If I were to drive home, I guess I would have to go to the city or even the province to have a way to modify it. I don't know how long it would take.
Now there is hope, I can only pray that the renovation will be completed before the year, so that he can drive it back in style, without having to make another trip to sail.
Ye Yaodong wandered all the way home, and it happened to be almost dinner time.
Father Ye was sitting at the door, watching him come back with his hands in his pockets leisurely, and asked: "How did you get here now? I thought you were missing."
"You walked too fast. Didn't you agree to go to the shipyard, but you ended up running back by yourself?"
"Aren't you angry?"
"I just said a few words casually, didn't you get scolded anyway? I didn't mention the car, didn't you already get scolded?"
Father Ye took off his Jiefang shoes and threw them directly at him.
"You did it on purpose. You didn't even say anything, and you still mentioned it on purpose."
"This is more acceptable. Which little brat should you scold for calling home? I didn't even know when I called home during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Give me the shoes."
"Pick up what you throw away."
Youjia Geng is really good. I have already reached the final stage of writing it, and my brain has been drained.
Chapter completed!
