The design of the sea soul shirt is simple and classic, with blue and white stripes symbolizing the sea and sky. This design is not only beautiful, but also helps improve the safety of offshore operations.
For example, when a soldier accidentally falls into the water, bright colors help to quickly detect and rescue him.
In addition, the sea soul shirt is also part of the navy culture and represents the spirit of the navy. Therefore, for many recruits, being able to wear such a shirt is also a manifestation of a sense of honor.
For new recruits, putting on this blue and white sea soul shirt often means that they have officially become a member of the navy family, begun to receive rigorous military training, and surrendered themselves to the country.
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Guangyuan's drawing of a pen and felt extremely proud. In his previous life, he dropped out of school early and later became a bricklayer.
In this life, I have taken a different path and fulfilled my dream.
He felt that his rebirth not only gave him a chance to come back again, but also affected everyone around him and changed everyone's destiny.
I dare not say that everyone is getting better, at least the people close to him are getting better one by one, becoming better than in the previous life.
"I used to hold up other people's clothes every day, but now I'm wearing my own sea soul shirt."
"Hey, uncle, why are you here? Didn't you say you went to Wenzhou to catch jellyfish? Shouldn't you be at home at this time?"
"It's hard to make money this year, so I came here and have been here for several months. I didn't expect to meet you here when I came out today. I would have come out quickly if I had known."
"If you come out early, you may not encounter us. We have been training. We will call out today and please help maintain order at the pier."
"What are you doing? Carts of supplies are being pulled over one by one..."
"It seems that we are going to build a docking point for warships. Our navy will build it ourselves. It is still far away. I can't talk anymore. I am falling behind. I have to catch up quickly. Brother-in-law, please give me a place to stay. I will
Let’s see if I can take some time off to look for you.”
Ye Yaodong quickly gave him a list of addresses, but he was afraid that he would not be able to remember them, so he took out a few banknotes from his pocket, borrowed the pen of the person next to him, and wrote them to him quickly.
He also emptied his pockets and gave him all the money he had, which was at least dozens of dollars.
"Take it, I plan to come out today and take a look. I don't have much money with me. Just take the flowers first. When you have a chance to come out, come and see me."
"It doesn't have to be so much, I also have a salary..."
"Your salary is only a few dollars, so take it. I will definitely be here before New Year's Day. If you have a chance, come out and see me. After New Year's Day, you can't say for sure."
"I understand, I don't have time to talk today, I have to leave first."
Lin Guangyuan reluctantly walked back while walking.
Ye Yaodong waved to him, "Go quickly, we're falling behind."
He nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran to keep up with the team.
The sea soul shirts of each one in the crowd are also very easy to identify. If there weren't too many people coming and going at the pier, they couldn't move fast, otherwise they would have fallen behind and couldn't find anyone.
Ye Yaodong watched Lin Guangyuan walk into the crowd and felt a little emotional in his heart. The boy who was bitten by the bastard a few years ago and wanted to cry has grown up.
"A Yuan is really promising. He actually passed the military examination and became a navy officer. He looks really smart in these navy uniforms."
"Yes, you can be considered successful."
"Ah Hai has gone to the shipyard to be an apprentice. Otherwise, he should be sent to serve as a soldier. If one person serves as a soldier, the whole family will be honored."
"Everyone has their own destiny. Ayuan thought about it for several years and went back to school for three years. The sea soul shirt given by Captain Chen at home is like a treasure. Now he finally wears it.
It’s my own.”
"Looking at it, I almost want to send Ajiang to join the army."
Ye Yaodong asked: "He is one year younger than A Hai. He will be in the third grade of junior high school in the second half of the year, right?"
"Yes, it's the third year of junior high school."
"It's better to study hard. If you can pass the high school exam, take the high school exam. If you can't pass the exam, don't worry about it. Ah Hai is not that good."
"Ah Jiang is not that good either."
Ye Yaopeng said: "No one can read, and the same goes for the girls in the family. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if it's a girl. I can just work for the family for a few years and get married when I'm old enough."
"Let's go, keep looking forward, I don't know where the military port will be built."
"It must be outside the outermost edge..."
"The wind and waves are quite strong..."
"We really need to strengthen the garrison here. There are too many floating people and it's too chaotic. We need to strengthen rectification."
The three brothers walked around the pier and saw that there were obviously fewer people making trouble at the pier today than usual.
Even if there are noisy conflicts, he is relatively restrained, and the people next to him can get over it with a little tugging and flirting.
Ye Yaodong thought about calling Ah Qing to talk to him, and after seeing the storm on the sea, he took the two brothers back early.
Father Ye was very surprised when he heard about it. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Lin Guangyuan was sent here after he passed the military inspection.
It is true that this place is a large port and will definitely need a large number of naval forces stationed there.
After Ye Yaodong returned home, he immediately rode his bicycle and went out to make phone calls. He called home first, and it happened that he hadn't called to report that he was safe for a few days.
Lin Xiuqing answered his call excitedly.
"I just saw it from afar on the pier!"
"What?" Lin Xiuqing was shocked, "Have you seen Ayuan?"
"Yes, didn't you know that he was assigned to Zhou City? You didn't tell me about it either. I was busy and forgot to ask you."
"I don't know. I only heard from my father that he was assigned to Zhejiang Province, but I don't know where he was assigned to. How could it be such a coincidence?"
"I also think it's such a coincidence. I was shocked just now, so I came back from the pier quickly and gave you a call."
"That's fine, I can still see you. I don't know if he can ask for leave."
"Then I don't know. It should be very strict."
"As long as I can meet people, I heard that military service lasts four years. If I stay here forever, I don't know how many years it will take."
"Let's wait and see. We'll have to wait until he completes his military service. It also depends on his performance during his military service."
"I'll call my brother and sister-in-law later and tell them that you saw Ayuan..."
Lin Xiuqing asked him nonchalantly about Lin Guangyuan's current situation and appearance, so that she could call his brother and sister-in-law later to give him a detailed description.
After Ye Yaodong chatted with her about Lin Guangyuan, he also asked about the current situation at home. In fact, there was nothing much to say.
He had a lot of things on his mind, but he couldn't talk about any of them, and everything was normal at home.
Lin Xiuqing is also busy in the second half of the year. As long as it doesn't rain, Ah Cai will deliver the goods every day. She organizes the women to kill fish and dry them.
Then when she occasionally delivered goods to the city, she would take Dongqing and a few young men with her to go out and check the city's accounts.
At the same time, we also arranged the filtration work of the fish sauce workshop. This work is now done by women from nearby villages, which can be regarded as fulfilling Ye Yaodong's promise at the time.
At that time, Ye Yaodong had a lot of people harvesting and fermenting every day, and now it requires a lot of female workers to filter it.
Before he left, everything was well arranged in the factory. Wang Guangliang was still responsible for receiving goods at the dock here, and his two aunts were responsible for fermentation and cooking, and also supervised.
When it comes to finances, Huang Mei keeps track of the accounts, and when it comes to money, it's all in the hands of his father-in-law, but every transaction is recorded by Huang Mei.
Wang Guangliang and Chen Jianxin had to go through the process every day to receive money and goods. They asked Huang Mei to issue the bill, and then went to Father Lin to collect it, which seemed a lot more standardized.
Lin Xiuqing would also come to the city to check the accounts whenever she had time to see the situation to avoid being fooled. At the same time, she could also take back part of the sales of her father's store.
It is true that women can hold up half the sky, but she also looks forward to Ye Yaodong's early return every day.
After all, he is the real head of the family, the core of the family, and the backbone of the family.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief. He also wanted to go home. It took too long to go out this time.
I didn't expect it to be out for so long, it was also an accident, and the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
In the rental house, everyone was also talking about Lin Guangyuan's enlistment. Most people didn't know Lin Guangyuan, but some would know it. After all, Lin Guangyuan had been to Ye Yaodong's house many times.
"Next year, I will also send my boy to join the army..."
"We also went to the pier to take a look earlier. The navy clothes looked really nice, unlike ours which were dusty..."
When Father Ye saw Ye Yaodong coming back, he quickly asked: "Did you call back to inform them?"
"I called Aqing, and she would tell her brother and sister-in-law about the rest. The army should also allow phone calls, and Ayuan should also tell his parents."
"It doesn't matter if it's not convenient for us to come out. At least we know we're in the same place, so that's good too."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong called Father Lin the next day. He wanted to inform Father Lin to pay attention to receiving a ton of shrimp skin from Zhang Rensu in a few days.
Father Lin also found out yesterday that he had met Lin Guangyuan and was very happy.
"I only know that he is in the navy in Zhejiang Province. I don't understand the specific city. His parents remember it. I didn't expect that the two of you were in the same place and met each other. This is good..."
"I didn't remember it earlier. If I had remembered it earlier, I might have met him earlier."
Ye Yaodong also smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. There is a training period for their recruits to join the army. After completing the preliminary training, they will not be allowed to communicate or communicate at home. If I had known, I might not have encountered it."
"Hey, okay...if we meet again sometime, you have to give me a call."
"Okay, definitely."
He then asked Lin's father about the current sales situation of the goods. The family could maintain a supply of seafood and dry goods, so there was no problem. Although he was not here, everything was in order.
When he was fishing for jellyfish in Wen City, he asked Fang Jingfu to order 50,000 lighters, and then he went to Zhou City in a hurry. He also told Fang Jingfu.
He still kept the 50,000 lighters. He didn't know how long it would take him to go to Zhou City. Anyway, when he came back, he would definitely pass through Wen City and bring the goods with him.
Who would have known that this stay would last more than three months and I would have to stay until the end of the year.
For the 50,000 lighters, he only paid a deposit of 25,000 yuan, and he still hadn't paid another 50,000 yuan.
Last month, in September, he also called Fang Jingfu and said that he might have to stay until the end of the year, but Fang Jingfu said that he asked Lin Jishang to take the 50,000 lighters back for him.
After all, he was the one who brought Lin Jishang here.
When Fang Jingfu asked Lin Jishang to take it back, he also called Lin Xiuqing and asked her to talk to Lin Jishang after obtaining her consent to discuss the delivery address before he handed the goods to Lin Jishang.
Bring it back.
As for the payment of 50,000 yuan, let him put it up first, and when the dividend is distributed at the end of the year, it will be directly deducted from his dividend.
What he found out later made him overjoyed. Originally, he was worried about the tens of thousands of lighters that were packed there and couldn't be taken back.
Unexpectedly, it happened that Lin Ji went to Fang Jingfu to pick up the goods. As soon as they gathered together, they sorted out the goods for him and delivered them to the city.
He later called Father Lin to confirm that all 50,000 lighters had been delivered, and he was relieved.
Speaking of which, apart from the dangerous things he did and a little bit of misconduct in his private life, Lin Jishang was quite reliable in other things and he was also fair and righteous.
These 50,000 lighters are also being shipped slowly now. There is no need to worry about running out of goods. The stores in the city are now selling very stable goods every day.
Ye Yaodong went back after chatting with Father Lin.
I called Lin Xiuqing the day before to report that she was safe, so there was no need to call today.
It was windy for the next two days, making it unsuitable to go to sea. When he had nothing to do, he would go to the pier to look at the tides and waves, and also take a look at the land that had been circled and was being sorted out.
I also stopped by the end of the pier to watch the blue and white workers working, but I didn't see Lin Guangyuan, and I didn't know if they were working in batches.
On a very cold day, they all took off their coats and only wore short-sleeved shirts to work.
He went there every day, and it was just leisure time anyway, and it was just a casual thing. It wasn't until the wind and waves stopped and the fishing boats went out to sea again that he stopped running to the pier.
It was already the end of the month when I heard from Lin Guangyuan again.
He did not meet Lin Guangyuan himself, but Lin Guangyuan's comrades sent him a letter.
It turned out that recruits were not allowed to take leave at will, even for two hours, and the application would not be approved, so he wrote a letter and asked veterans who had taken leave to help deliver the letter.
Ye Yaodong immediately invited the veteran to sit down for tea and handed him two packs of cigarettes, asking him to wait a moment. After reading the letter, he immediately wrote a reply.
By the way, he went back to the house and put a few big solidarity sheets in the middle of the letter. After all, the middleman had to pass the letter, so he didn't dare to put too many, and he was worried that the folder would be too thick.
Anyway, it should be enough for Lin Guangyuan to spend several months, and he gave him dozens more yuan some time ago.
He also took rice and rolled it around the seal, then wiped it with saliva to make it stick tightly.
When sending the person out, he gave him two more packs of cigarettes, making him go back happily.
It's not impossible to give money directly, but it always feels a little awkward. It doesn't sound good to accept money. It's not burdensome to accept a few packs of good cigarettes, but it can make people happy.
Lin Guangyuan didn't write anything in his letter. He just said that he couldn't ask for leave and that the recruits would not approve it unless there was a major emergency.
Then I greeted him again and asked him how he was doing here.
Ye Yaodong wrote back and wrote about when he came, how long he stayed, and when he would probably go back. He also asked him to serve as a soldier well, perform well, and try to take the exam at the military academy in two years.
I also said that I called him back yesterday to inform him that his family had seen him, and also informed him that he was safe.
By the way, I also mentioned that I put 50 yuan into the envelope and asked him to spend it slowly. When I send the letter later, I will put some more for him.
If he goes back in two months, he may have to wait for the second half of the year next time he comes over. He can only take advantage of the current communication time to leave more money for Lin Guangyuan.
When you go out, you have money in your pocket, you don’t feel panic, and it’s convenient to do anything with money.
This month he has to settle accounts again. He has made a lot of money this month, so he is generous with his money. He can give a handful to Lin Guangyuan casually, but he cannot come out and it is inconvenient to take it.
Otherwise, I would have to give Lin Guangyuan a few hundred yuan as pocket money. He is not a child now, so it would be okay to have more money in his hand.
But now I can only put it in through the envelope bit by bit, and then deliver it to him.
Although there are winds every three days this month, if the wind and waves are not big, the ships at sea will not come back deliberately. The only ones that will be affected are the trawling boats.
Unless a few large ships have not yet gone out to sea, and if there are storms and waves, we will wait just to be on the safe side.
So I went to sea for more or less 20 days this month. Those small boats probably didn’t last for half a month, but they probably made enough money.
And he has already settled his accounts in advance this month, making a net profit of more than 106,000.
Whenever they came back from the shore, several of their boats, including the shrimp-fishing boat, were sold by themselves, so he made a little less, but it didn't matter, he made the bulk of it.
There were also the accounts of the dozens of trawlers. He planned to go there one by one these two nights to settle the accounts and collect the money.
In total, his income this month can be around 120,000.
This is simply unimaginable.
At the end of last month, he spent 20,000 yuan to buy land, and after deducting the money he paid back to A Guang, he still had more than 20,000 yuan on hand to use as capital for collecting Shopee. This month it snowballed, and he was able to accumulate 14,000 yuan.
More than ten thousand.
This is when he spent 100,000 yuan to buy a cargo ship. When he was in Wen City and when he first came to Zhou City, he sent 50,000 yuan back intermittently.
He casually calculated his income in the past few months, and he couldn't believe that he had already earned more than 300,000 yuan. Moreover, it was only the end of November, and there would be December and early January...
He can continue to accumulate wealth...
This was something he would never dare to imagine before. Not only for others, this number was also an unattainable dream for him.
The family had accumulated assets for four years, including several workshops, several shops, and more than a dozen boats. All added up, they could barely make up for what he had earned in half a year.
After mastering the channels and production materials, he understood what it meant to make money.
But he also had to accumulate slowly over the past few years before he could achieve the rapid realization in the past six months.
If there weren't so many fishing boats, he wouldn't have come here to make a fortune.
Without the certification from the fishery associations of the two provinces, he would not have been able to gain the trust of so many people and sell his goods so successfully.
Ye Yaodong checked out all the accounts for this month in the room, and also calculated how much money he expected to earn in about 40 days before he went back.
This is also his usual urinary behavior.
If you haven't earned any money yet, calculate it in advance and pocket all the money you can earn in the future.
After another calculation, he estimated that he could earn another 170,000 to 80,000 yuan with the remaining money. Plus the dividends from a few boats, if he was lucky, he might earn another 200,000 yuan.
This almost made him drool with joy.
By this calculation, he could earn more than 500,000 yuan in half a year. He didn't know how to count it, and he was shocked when he counted it.
Even if the flowers are deducted, it will still be sent home in advance.
He can still have 356,700 yuan left.
Then the password box will definitely not fit in it...
Ye Yaodong held the account book and smiled crookedly.
When he comes back in the second half of next year and gets the few ships ordered by the shipyard, his assets will definitely double again.
After dinner in the evening, he actively went door to door. As long as there were people at home, he would start checking accounts and get money, and leave those who were not at home behind.
He finished checking the accounts of all the ship bosses at home, then went to find the ship boss who had just returned, and did it all over again on the second trip.
It wasn't until 10 o'clock in the evening that he collected all the accounts for this month.
As expected, as he expected, after the weather turned cold, the port here was very windy and rough, which also affected the ability of small boats to go to sea, and the profits dropped sharply.
Last month, each boat could still be divided into just over 1,000. This month, there are fewer boats that can be divided into 1,000. Many of them are around 7,800, and some are only 9,000.
In total, he only got more than 13,000 from it, which is quite a lot. Who allowed him to have more fishing boats?
Ye Yaodong settled all the accounts, took back all the money, and went back to do the calculations himself. Now he indeed has more than 140,000 in his hands.
By the time the money accumulated before returning home, he couldn't believe that after returning home, everyone would continue to nag about him borrowing 200,000 yuan to buy a boat and spending another 100,000 yuan to buy a boat.
I guess you can't even laugh after looking at a sack of money, and your mother will be blown away by your awesomeness.
If he really nags her again, he will directly carry 200,000 yuan to Zhoushan Bank to pay it back, to see if he is anxious or they are more anxious.
After all, one wants to contribute money by himself, and the other does not want to contribute money by himself. I don’t believe that they are not in a hurry when he takes the money and returns it.
He probably would have to fight hard to stop him.
If you have already taken out a loan, you must earn some money and then wait for the deadline to repay it.
When the time comes, he will have to look at the situation on his return trip. Should he pass through Wenzhou first and settle the accounts with Fang Jingfu so that his sack can be fuller so that he can shock the women in his family when he returns?
It was better to go back directly. After all, the whole village was following him, and it was not easy for him to take everyone to the Wenzhou stop.
If they feel that sailing is too far, it would be okay and convenient for them to stop at the Port of Vancouver for a day's rest.
But we’ll talk about this later.
Ye Yaodong put the money back into the lockbox, locked it all, and hid it. He also found a clean sack for backup.
There were hundreds of thousands of pieces, including banknotes and coins, which had already filled an entire lockbox. It would not be that convenient to continue stuffing it into it, so he had prepared a sack in advance.
I have to find some clean straw tomorrow and put it in there for a cushion.
In the middle of the night, Ye Yaodong returned to his room and kept fussing with these things. He was either counting money, counting banknotes, or shaking the nylon bag.
This kind of old house has poor sound insulation. He can hear the residents next door cursing whoever stayed up late at night and what they were doing there...
After he finished his work, he quickly went to bed.
It was a cold day. If he hadn't been counting money, how could he be so busy? He must have been tucked into bed early.
December is about to enter, and the wind in the port here is stronger than in front of their home, and even the house is leaking.
Ye Yaodong was woken up by the cold wind pouring in from the edge of the window the next day. The warmth retention of this old house was also very poor.
If the quilt and mattress hadn't been newly made, he would have felt like he wouldn't be able to survive the winter, but he still woke up early from the cold.
"Why is it so early, boss..."
"No one warms the bed. It's too cold. I got up to find some newspapers and papered the windows again, but there was air leakage."
"Hahaha, let's just say that you have to find a wife and a home here. Based on your appearance and your ability to make money, there are many older girls and younger widows to choose for you."
"Stop talking nonsense, you are like a pack of wolves. Can I find another one to mix among you? Stop joking, where are the previous newspapers?"
"It's on fire."
"ah?"
"I thought you had seen them all, but they were all useless. There was a pile of them piled there, so I used them to start a fire and cook."
"Your uncle... you're a loser."
"There is nothing to start the fire. There is no straw or sawdust. Why don't we just use those newspapers to start the fire..."
Ye Yaodong cursed a few more times before going out to get some newspapers from others to paper over the windows.
As soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw that the vegetables grown in his father's wooden box outside were covered with a thick layer of frost, making them white.
"It's already frosted, shouldn't it be snowing?"
"No way, will it snow here?"
"It's only December and it's already frosty. If it gets colder, it won't snow?"
"It's snowing. I don't know what snow looks like in this life..."
"Snow can freeze you to death."
Ye Yaodong put on the scarf. Ah Qing asked a layman to bring it to him last time, so it could keep him warm.
He opened his mouth to speak and emitted white smoke.
After going out, he stretched out his hands and breathed a sigh of relief as he walked, then crossed his hands and inserted them into each other's cuffs.
After asking around, I got a stack of newspapers, and then I asked the landlord for a bowl of rice milk, and then I covered the windows with newspapers.
I didn't feel this cold a few days ago, and now the temperature has dropped extremely quickly.
But when the sun came out, the temperature climbed up again, and there were a bunch of people sitting at the door with their heads down, eating breakfast and basking in the sun.
The old landlady even reached out to him and brought him a hot red pancake, which was just in time to add to his breakfast.
He smiled and said thank you, and ate the skin with it. It was soft, glutinous and warm, just right to go with porridge, and it was sweet.
"Boss, do we want to go to sea tonight or tomorrow morning? The wind is quite strong."
"Let's go to sea in the early morning. It's too cold at night. It's better to lie down on the bed and have a good sleep. We'll work all day tomorrow, making three trips back and forth, so that we can have a good night's sleep when we come back."
"Adong Adong, come out quickly, that little beauty is here to find you again."
Ye Yaodong heard the shout at the door and looked up. A red figure also appeared at the door, stretching his head to look into the room.
Chapter completed!
