At this time, when he slowly walked back, it was almost dusk, and dark was not far away.
After all, it is a city. Although it is very dilapidated everywhere, it is still quite big to walk around. It takes more than an hour to walk home casually.
After the meeting ended, he walked out and chatted. After talking for a while, he was delayed for a while before walking home. It was already 7 o'clock when he got home, and his father and the others were back long ago, and they were all sitting there shirtless eating.
The courtyard door was open. As soon as he walked in, someone saw him with sharp eyes and shouted, "President Ye is here!"
"Ah, haha, our President Ye is here!"
"President Ye!"
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh, "Have you eaten? It's a good day today. How can we do without wine? I just came back and passed by the canteen and bought two bottles of soju. Come on, let's celebrate tonight."
"It's done?" Father Ye looked surprised.
He straightened his clothes, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Please call me President Ye from now on!"
Although it’s a secondary word, I still add it when shouting when it’s not necessary!
"Hahaha~Good boy~"
"President Ye, haha, you are not wrong."
Ye Yaodong smiled and put the two bottles of white wine on the table and asked them to get bowls to put the wine in.
Drinking can easily interfere with work, not to mention that they are all working for him now. When there is nothing else, he usually does not provide alcohol, only normal meals.
Otherwise, these old drunkards can drink three times a day. How can a family provide alcohol like this every day? They are not here to enjoy themselves, but to work and make money.
If they wanted to drink, he didn't object, but they had to spend their own money to drink. He didn't pay wages, and the money in each pocket was limited, so he only dared to come back for a drink every now and then to enjoy himself.
Now I saw him carrying two bottles of white wine and placing them on the table, my eyes gleamed.
"Okay, okay, Adong is still generous. Good days must be celebrated."
"What's your name, Adong? You have to call me President!"
"Haha, President!"
Ye Yaodong also laughed, "Just shout twice jokingly, come on, come on, celebrate, let's all go together."
"Okay, okay..."
"Guangzong Yaozu!" Father Ye took a sip with a red face and put down the bowl. "It's getting dark now. I'll make a phone call home when I get back early tomorrow afternoon."
"There's no need to be anxious. Why are you anxious? Just call when you don't have any work to do. There's still so little time left. We haven't gone back anyway."
"That's okay too."
"It's great. As soon as you hear the name of this president, you can tell that he is a high-ranking official."
"Actually, there isn't. It's just a social group."
Everyone didn’t quite understand what he said, but knowing that he was now the vice-president, everyone felt bright on their faces and toasted him repeatedly. A bunch of people came around in circles, and he didn’t even take a few bites of the food and wine.
He drank so much that his face turned red.
He was really happy, so he didn't refuse anyone who came.
After finishing the meal, I was still eating until the lights were turned on. The neighbors sat outside to enjoy the cool air, listening to the noisy noises coming from their yards, and they all looked at the door a few times.
The two bottles of wine they brought back were only two kilograms, which was less than two taels for 11 people. After they finished drinking, they went to buy two more bottles and came back. By the way, they also said a few words to the neighbors who were sitting at the door to enjoy the cool weather. They said something about their boss.
Became president.
"What kind of official is the president? It sounds like he is a high official."
"He is the president of the Fisheries Association. He is responsible for the seafood and fish products in our sea. He is very powerful."
"Ah! So powerful? You are so promising, and you became the president at such a young age..."
"Yes, even though our boss is young, he is very powerful. Even in our hometown, he is very powerful. He is a well-known person from all over the country."
After finishing the drink, the person smiled casually and said a few words proudly, then walked back into the room with floating steps and continued to drink lively.
The atmosphere in the room was lively, and the chatter at the door didn't stop. Gossip always spreads extremely fast.
When they returned from the sea the next day, even the people on the dock knew that Ye Yaodong was the vice president of the Fisheries Association. There were many people smiling and congratulating him, and they were all asking him if he had any connections.
After selling goods for more than half a month, he has already become familiar with the people on the dock.
A foreigner came here and became their local vice-president. Although he didn't understand what he was doing, his name sounded very loud and powerful.
Ye Yaodong said a few words modestly, only reminding them to get on the scale quickly, and did not say much else, leaving some space for their imagination.
Then within a week, he saw an advertisement in the local newspaper announcing the establishment of a fishery association and recruiting new talents.
When he first arrived, he knew that he would not stay here long, so he did not order a newspaper. When he came back to the pier, he saw people discussing on the pier, so he borrowed someone else's newspaper and read it, and then he realized that it had been published in the newspaper.
, the efficiency is quite high.
I thought that the newspaper typesetting was not that fast, but I didn't expect that it was published in less than a week.
And when he returned home, he received a letter at home. When he opened it, he found an honorary appointment letter. The appointment letter also contained the association's address and phone number.
He held the letter of appointment in his hand, shook his face twice with a smile on his face, and said to everyone: "I didn't expect it to be quite formal. It even has an office address and a phone number. Are you determined to get it right?"
Are Taiwanese gangsters going to start to standardize?"
Everyone stretched their heads to look at it, "What's written on it?"
"The letter appoints me as the vice-president of the Fisheries Association, and asks me to go through the formalities in the near future, and I have to take a photo of my personal ID and send it to you to keep a record, and also pay the membership fee."
"Ah? Still want to pay them? I haven't paid you a salary, but you still need to pay them money? What's the point of this?" Father Ye was the first to speak out in surprise.
"That's how it is. It's not an official establishment. It can also pay you a salary. I've said it many times. This is a social group. If you want to join this association, you must pay membership fees. It doesn't cost much, so it doesn't matter.
Well, with President Ye’s name and fame, who needs less money?”
"Well, you're not short of these few dollars anyway, so you can pay it tomorrow morning and call home by the way. I haven't called home for many days and they don't know about it yet.
.”
"Um."
By the way, he had to save some money.
It has been almost a month since I came here, and except for the intermittent rain for more than a week, it has been sunny all the time, so it has been pretty smooth.
It was also smooth sailing at sea. Most fishing boats in the offshore area were not as big as his. At most, they would come over curiously and take a look. When they saw their boat and there were so many men on the boat, they would usually avoid it if they could.
If you can't earn money, it will be useless even if you beat people to death. It is harmful and useless, not to mention that there are obviously more people on their boat.
The red tide that occurred some time ago did not spread to the offshore waters, but it was always there. There were not many big boats in the town during this time, and several boats were fishing in the open sea as usual.
I just heard from people on the dock that the harvest was not very good. Many fish stocks were affected by red tide and had to be discarded. The harvest was average, but if you don't go to sea, you have to keep a boatload of idlers at home.
This didn't affect him at all, since he didn't go out to sea to trawl anyway.
I have been fishing for sea urchins for the past month, and I have made a little over 10,000 yuan. In addition, I made less than 4,000 yuan the day I encountered red tide, and I have earned almost 14,000 yuan.
After deducting the money for gas and the money for food and meat every day, I still have about 13,000 on hand.
I will take the opportunity tomorrow to remit 10,000 yuan back, leaving 3,000 yuan on hand. When I go back, I have to pay wages to the boatmen.
Father Ye thought for a while and then said: "Today seems to be the 14th day of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow will be the 15th day of August. I don't know if I will work in the bank. I have been working for six or seven days in a row recently. Otherwise, I will have a day off tomorrow and let's celebrate together."
Festival, right? If I don’t go back, I have to celebrate the festival that should be celebrated.”
"Is it August 15th tomorrow?"
Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment. He only remembered that today was the 28th in the Gregorian calendar. He really didn't think that tomorrow would be August 15th. There was no calendar at home, so they just had to remember it day by day, or go to the canteen to buy cigarettes.
Take a look at it sometimes.
I was at sea every day, and I really didn’t remember what day it was on the lunar calendar.
"It's August 15th. I remembered it a few days ago, but I forgot it again in the past two days. I just remembered it when I heard the hawker selling moon cakes."
"Okay, let's all have a day off tomorrow. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a big festival, so forget it if you don't go back to celebrate the festival. You can't ask everyone to work when you are outside. Go buy some good food tomorrow morning, and buy a big local moon cake.
Let’s all celebrate the festival together.”
Everyone immediately cheered happily and beamed with joy.
It’s not that no one remembers the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they are too embarrassed to mention it. It would be better for Father Ye.
Ye Yaodong added: "I am overjoyed to receive this appointment letter just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am very lucky. Let's go make a phone call together tomorrow. If you don't come back, you have to call me back. I'm really
I forgot what I was doing, but luckily my dad remembered, otherwise, everyone would have missed the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Haha, it's normal to forget. It's nothing special every year."
"The festivals that should be celebrated should still be celebrated. There are not festivals every month throughout the year. There are only a few important festivals, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and New Year, these are the six major festivals."
After saying that, he said to his father: "These units will probably not be working tomorrow. You will play your cards as usual the day after tomorrow. I will continue to take another day off and finish what I need to do."
"Have you ever thought about when we can go back?"
"Originally, I was planning to go back around the National Day. It would be best to go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, the current fishing situation is quite good and the weather has not turned cold yet. The weather has been good recently and it is quite suitable for going into the water. It is better to go back now.
It’s a pity, but I can still earn some in a day.”
"And this fishery association has just been established. I can't just leave. I'll stay for a while and see. When the weather gets colder and it's not suitable to go into the water, I can go back. I probably won't be able to stay for a month."
It’s cold.”
Father Ye thought for a moment, "It probably gets cold in mid-to-late October, and there are fewer jellyfish on the sea recently, which means it's getting colder recently."
"Well, that's equivalent to staying for another half month."
He looked at everyone, "Do you have any objections? If we stay here for another half month, is anyone going to be in a hurry to go back?"
The older ones waved their hands quickly, "No, no, it's okay to stay for another half month. We work as workers to earn money, no matter what holiday it is or not. As long as we can make money, it's better to stay longer."
"Yeah, it's hard to find such a high salary back home. Ah Dong, you can stay as long as you need. Everyone has no objection. It's better to have work to do."
The others nodded repeatedly.
The price is 4.5 to 6.5 yuan a day, and 67.5 to 97.5 for half a month. You can stay here and eat and drink well, and you don’t have to do too much work. Who would want to leave?
"Okay, if you don't have any objections, let's stay for another half month. When the weather gets too cold and it's not suitable to go into the water, we'll go back. We'll make a call together tomorrow to send a letter. I guess everyone in the family thinks we'll be there in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I'll probably be waiting for you to go home."
"good."
After the meal, Ye Yaodong and his father got together to whisper.
"I forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have a day off tomorrow. I'm going to buy some cigarettes and wine to deliver to Director Zeng. You have to show your appreciation for the festival."
Here he can be considered acquainted with a high-ranking official, and he has to protect him no matter what.
"Yes, but it's a pity that we didn't go fishing, otherwise we would have ordered more seafood..."
"Forget it, just give it as a souvenir on a daily basis. For the holidays, it's better to have it on the table."
"Oh, then you can figure it out yourself, you know more."
"Well, I just don't know where I live. I'll ask around tomorrow. There's always someone on duty at the bureau. I'll go and ask around tomorrow."
Father Ye hesitated for a moment and asked: "Do the boatmen want to give out red envelopes for the holidays?"
Ye Yaodong looked at his father in confusion, "Why do I think you are becoming more and more generous? Do you want the red envelope?"
Chapter completed!
