"Mother-in-law...I'll give you a pat on the back..."

The aunts all laughed.

"No, no, no, this kid is so good..."

Ye Yaodong walked over and grabbed the pigtails on her head, "Why didn't I see you patting my back?"

"Hey? Dad? I'm so tired. Hug me, my feet are sore..."

Ye Xiaoxi took action immediately after seeing him, holding his legs to climb up.

Ye Yaodong quickly grabbed the waistband of his pants, and the enamel cup in his other hand was shaking so much that the tea overflowed.

"Let go, let me go, let me hug you, why don't I hug you? Don't pull my pants down."

She let go honestly, then spread her hands and waited for him to hold her.

Ye Yaodong held the enamel cup in one hand and struggled to pick her up with the other.

Fortunately, his arm strength has become much stronger in recent years, otherwise it would be really difficult to hold a fat girl with one hand.

"I want to go home, do you want to go home with me?"

"want."

"Okay, go home and help with the cooking. Your mother is not free. Your wife is old, so cooking will be your job from now on."

She clapped her hands happily, "Okay, okay."

Ye Yaodong was talking excitedly now, and when the old lady was cooking dinner, he felt a big headache.

I couldn't even rush away, so I had to sit in front of the stove to help light the fire. I also had to get a stool to put my feet on, and then use a spatula to stir-fry.

The old lady was worried that she would fall in and get cooked.

"Dongzi, Dongzi..."

Ye Yaodong was lying in the room with his feet up and his eyes closed to relax, thinking about what else had not been arranged. After all, he was going to sea tomorrow morning.

"what?"

Hearing the old lady's scream, he ran out in a hurry.

"Take your daughter away, causing trouble here, insisting on grabbing work, fine, and suddenly you want to help cook? This ancestor, how can she be used to cook..."

Ye Xiaoxi stood on the stool, with one hand on the stove and the other holding a spatula. When she turned to look at him, both sides of her face were gray.

"Hurry up and take her away. My old arms and legs can't carry her, and I'm worried that my waist will slip. Hurry up and don't burn her."

When the old lady said this, Ye Yaodong had already taken the child down, but she still refused to cooperate and twisted around in protest.

"You can't cook without experience, so go find your friends to play house first and practice."

"play house?"

"right."

"oh."

Ye Xiaoxi stopped twisting, obediently returned the spatula to the old lady, and ran out to play.

"Isn't this a simple thing? You guys don't know how to coax children. She is so easy to deceive, yet you still talk about her every day."

"If you are good at it, you can come."

"It's not impossible for me to stay at home every day."

"It doesn't hurt your back if you stand and talk. Go, go, I don't need you anymore. Go back to the house and lie down. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Ye Yaodong glanced at the dishes on the table, picked up a shrimp tentacle, peeled it with his mouth, and walked to the room.

In the past few days, the boats in the village have been going out to sea one after another, but they all go out on the same day and return on the same day. There has been more seafood in the past two days.

Of course, not all ships go out to sea so late. There are also diligent ones who release their nets after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and collect them the next day.

During the Chinese New Year, there is no need to worry about not having seafood to eat. Every household will have some dry goods. For seaside people, they can have no food on the table, but they cannot live without seafood.

When he lay on the bed at night, Lin Xiuqing kept telling him all kinds of safety precautions, and was still thinking about this trip, or simply asking his father to go with him, which would be safer.

If you want to collect the fresh food ship, you can ask someone to drive it again. Anyway, you just need to go to sea to collect the goods, and when you land, you will give the goods to Ah Cai, and if you can't sell them for money, give them to Wang Guangliang, and then issue a bill of goods and come back to her.

She could just go to Ah Cai every now and then to ask for accounts.

Ye Yaodong only comforted her and told her not to worry too much. Only he knew how good the new boat was. As long as there was no typhoon or strong winds and waves, there would generally be no problems.

The accident rate is high these days. In addition to the weather, the main reason is that the shipbuilding technology is not good enough to withstand strong winds and waves, and it cannot run very far.

And he had understood that Zhao Chengzhou and his ship might not have gone to the high seas yet, but were only in the general deep sea area, and at most they could go farther than the Dongsheng.

The boat on the Ocean No. 1 is more than enough for fishing near D. It is no worse than the boats of thirty or forty years later.

It can be said that when he buys this boat, apart from maintaining it every few years, it will make a lot of money in the future. At most, some machinery can be upgraded and replaced, and the appreciation ability is no worse than that of a house.

I have to say that some foreign technologies are indeed decades ahead of us in this era, but it is only a matter of time before we catch up.

Anyway, he just wanted to test the water on this trip, and he would not stay at sea for several months like Zhao Chengzhou's ship.

Lin Xiuqing actually knew that, but she was a little worried as the departure was approaching, so she wanted to give a few more words of advice.

"It's better not to go to sea in the future. It makes people worry. Now you can train a few more people and then be your own boss on the shore. At most, you can occasionally drive out to collect goods on a fresh-harvest ship and you can come back soon."

"We have many boats, so the fresh-harvesting boats don't need to be floating around on the sea all the time. They can just wait for other fishing boats to pick up the cargo. We can arrange it at home."

"You also keep saying that you want me to find a few more people to share the work, and that I should not be so busy and work so hard, but you still go to sea every day..."

"You say I'm so capable, but I don't think much about it."

Ye Yaodong put his arm around her shoulder and patted her, saying, "I want to rest more than you do, and I want to stay on the shore without going to sea to take risks, but everything must be on track before I can stay on the shore."

"Our family has money now, so booking a few boats is a relatively simple matter, but we also need manpower."

"This person is not cultivated so quickly. I have to get in touch with him slowly, cultivate him slowly, and then arrange the person and the boat accordingly. Then I can return to the shore with peace of mind and enjoy the happiness."

"Now, we must take the people out to sea by ourselves. After they are mature enough, we can arrange for others to do it. We certainly can't just hand over the ship to others casually."

Which company started out without the boss taking the lead and working hard? Only when it stabilizes can it enjoy happiness.

Of course he doesn't want to take risks at sea anymore, but now that he's just starting, he definitely has to do everything by himself.

In the current development, he basically picks a ship boss after getting familiar with the people on each ship, then changes to another ship and continues to coach people again.

Anyway, this arrangement has already taken shape.

Now the work of receiving goods on the shore has been agreed in advance and sold to Ah Cai, and there is no need for workers to take over. There is no money at all, so there is no need to worry. After several of his ships are on track, he will retreat behind the scenes.

Just collect the money when you arrive.

Then later, when collecting money, you can arrange a special person to collect the money, and get a public account, and all he has to do is just wait and receive the money.

It makes me happy just thinking about it...

However, he still had to work with Chuhai now, and he had to bring everyone up first.

When we enter the 1990s in a few years, navigation technology will definitely make a qualitative leap, and we will order more advanced fishing boats by then.

And if he works for a few more years, he can bring all the boatmen together. In fact, the most important thing is the person at the helm. An ordinary boatman only needs a little experience at sea. This is simple.

Only then can he let go and truly enjoy happiness.

Speaking of which, in fact, his father's experience in going to sea was not as good as his, so he let his father drive the fresh-harvest boats first and watch the six boats.

Moreover, his father is a bit old, and Lao Pei has retired at home to take care of his children, so he cannot exploit his father too harshly.

Then when he has a number of large boats of 20 to 30 meters, or 30 to 40 meters, small trawlers will become useless to him. He will do some favors and let the people who rent now or rent in the future

For those who want it, redeem it at a discount.

I made money and also earned my reputation.

So, he still has to continue working now, and although the hundreds of thousands on hand are a lot, they will be nothing in the future.

In the past few years, he still has to make money while accumulating, and then continue to order a few more big boats. The boatmen who follow him also have a hope that they will have the opportunity to take over fishing boats and get high dividends.

"I have a sense of proportion and a plan. As long as you don't object to what I do, I will be able to go ashore after a few years when I am on the right track."

"How could I object to what you do? You even wanted to open a fish canning factory in partnership with others, but I didn't even stop you. When I came back, I told you that it was because you took a loan of 200,000 yuan. This sounds scary. If you

If I just said that I bought a boat with all the money I earned, I wouldn’t be that excited.”

"Not much difference."

"Isn't this a big difference? One is getting his own money, and the other is paying money owed to the country."

"Oh, just let this matter be over, don't talk about it anymore."

Lin Xiuqing also stopped talking and stopped talking.

Ye Yaodong continued: "When we get the five boats in Zhouzhou City at the end of the year, our family wealth will definitely double in the coming year. Repayment will be a simple matter, and it is not a big deal in itself."

"Then when I make some money, I will make another plan and continue to book a boat. If I do, I will definitely look at 40 Meters. This boat is not cheap."

"But this year I have been working for a year, and I will definitely know how the harvest is. If I can make money, I will continue to do it. The people I bring now can also come in handy."

"We have worked hard for several years, but our best days are yet to come."
