The flowers have all been spent, what else can I say?
Didn’t he earn it all back?
If you don’t spend money first, how will you make money later?
Didn’t all the fishing boats in his hands cost money first and then make money later?
Only by giving up can you gain.
Who dares to object to the money he spends now? At most, his mother will scold him a few times because she feels sorry for him, but it doesn't hurt at all.
Ye Yaodong didn't take his family's opinions to heart. After all, it wasn't that he didn't believe him now, he just felt sorry for spending so much money.
The older generation has a conservative mentality, and it's not like his father has been with him all the time. Because he has seen more, even the voice of opposition has become quieter.
This time he spent more than 300,000 yuan on a loan to buy a boat, but his father didn't say anything.
This actually means that your horizons have been broadened, your contacts have become wider, and your landscape has become bigger.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were also concerned about him and worried that he would be scolded. If it was their son who spent the money, they would definitely be heartbroken.
Seeing that he didn't care, the two of them didn't mention the matter of killing him first and then showing off. Instead, they talked about how beautiful he would be when he returned to the village.
The three brothers stood on the deck talking and laughing. When the fishing boat reached the middle of the sea, the three of them set off three fireworks in a row.
It's broad daylight and you can't see anything. In fact, you just listen to the sounds, feel happy, and have a sense of ritual.
After the fishing boat entered the port and paid the fee, the four of them, father and son, went home.
It was also noon. They had had a complete rest for the past two days and were about to go back. The workers had no intention of cooking for a long time. They all had money in their pockets and went out to eat in twos and threes. Some of them went out and did not come back until dark.
Ye Yaodong and his son also ate at a small roadside restaurant outside and went back after they were full.
He said that not all of them should be taken away, and that there must be someone at home to keep an eye on them.
In fact, there is an old landlord and an old lady sitting at the door 24 hours a day, and there are many local elderly people around. The women like to work at the door, weaving and mending nets, so you don’t have to worry too much about anyone coming into the house during the day.
When they returned home, it was already afternoon, and there was another card game in the house.
Ye Yaodong said hello casually and asked.
It turns out that everyone had enough shopping and shopping yesterday and in the morning, so they didn’t plan to go out in the afternoon and just stayed at home and played cards.
Father Ye asked him, "Are you still going out in the afternoon?"
"I have to go out again. I still have a lot of things I haven't bought. I have to go to a big store to buy them."
"Then you go by yourself. I won't go out. I bought everything yesterday."
"Okay."
He went out to a larger store to buy some high-end smuggled goods, which he planned to take back to Wenzhou and give as gifts.
High-end goods brought back from other places are more prestigious when exported.
Even small things naturally become rarer the further away they are brought back.
He rode his bicycle alone for another afternoon, counting in his mind with his fingers while buying. He had thought about who would give what to whom, and calculated the number of gifts. He bought some extra just in case.
There are some omissions.
Buy a little more, it won't go wrong anyway. When he has bought enough, he will go back with big and small bags.
Thinking that they would go back soon and Lin Guangyuan was still serving as a soldier here alone, he wrote another letter on the spur of the moment and planned to give it to the landlord.
Next time, if a soldier comes to deliver a letter, just ask the landlady to deliver the letter, and he will also leave a dollar to the old lady as a commission fee.
This lasted almost a month, and they exchanged letters twice, and he gave him a total of 100 yuan.
I originally wanted to give more, but I didn't see anyone. Fortunately, I don't spend much money in the army, and there are also subsidies.
If you wait until next year, you can apply for a visit then and get a little more.
For the next two days, everyone had nothing to do but wait, rushing back and forth from the pier every day, sighing and cursing God.
It was not until the 5th that Ye Yaodong heard the weather forecast stating that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow it would be sunny or cloudy, and the wind would be two or three levels. Then everyone was happy and could finally go home.
I obviously had a rest on New Year's Day, but I didn't know for sure until the 5th that I would finally be able to go home the next day.
Everyone rushed around excitedly to tell each other.
After a while, everyone came to their side.
It was obviously late at night, but it was even more lively than during the day, and there was a lot of noise at the door.
"Is this weather forecast accurate..."
"I don't care if he's accurate or not, but the wind force tomorrow will be level 2 to 4, so hurry back."
“Wouldn’t we know if we go to sea tomorrow and take a look?”
"I can finally go back. I have been waiting for many days. If I had gone back on the 2nd, I would have been home long ago."
The workers gathered in a group to talk, and the ship bosses also gathered in a circle to talk alone.
Ye Yaodong repeated what he said at Aguang's house when collecting accounts a few days ago. Anyway, he meant that he would stop in Wenzhou for a day, and others would not necessarily wait for him depending on their personal preferences.
"Then we have to sum it up..."
"What time should we set off tomorrow? If it gets dark there, it's not impossible to stay overnight. Anyway, doesn't the weather forecast say it will be sunny in the next few days?"
"You can also leave early at night. If you want to go back, you can go back directly, in two waves..."
Everyone discussed it noisily for a long time, and finally decided to set off at 3 o'clock in the night.
Although we said we were leaving at this time, in fact, if we were delayed at the dock, it would take more than an hour to move the goods, and it would already be dark by the time we set off.
As for whether to stay in Vancouver for one more day, everyone was a little undecided. After all, Ye Yaodong was their backbone and he had many ships. Everyone followed him out and tended to go back with him.
They said it was lively, but the surrounding residents couldn't bear the noise at night, and one after another people came out to ask them to stop making noise.
Everyone also lowered their voices and simply communicated first.
I just said that we should first go to Vancouver to have a look, moor at the dock in Vancouver for some repairs, and then decide whether to go back immediately.
After all, many times, plans cannot keep up with changes, so the departure time is decided first, and the rest is left to temporary changes.
Then everyone went back to their homes and dispersed first.
When Ye Yaodong and the others returned to the house, they continued to pack their things hurriedly. After all, they still had some daily necessities that could be used before leaving.
I have packed it up now, so I can take it away early in the morning, such as pots, pans and other sundries. As for the bedding, I can only put them away after I wake up.
After everyone finished packing, Father Ye checked inside and outside again and again to make sure that everything that should be packed was packed, and then he felt relieved.
"We didn't order a truck in advance. We have to get up early tomorrow and it will take a long time to move things."
Ye Yaodong echoed, "I know. I'll get up early tomorrow and ride my bike to the dock to find a big truck to transport the goods. It's easy."
"Then the bag of dried fish that you bought stuffed with the gold needs to be marked."
"Know."
"There are so many dried fishes. If they get mixed up, it depends on where you go to find them..."
"Go to sleep quickly, Luosuo."
Father Ye went to bed, then quietly touched the inside of the pillow with one hand, and took out the gold ring he had hidden to play with.
This is for men, but the circle mouth is not a live mouth.
He has been working all year round, so his finger joints are very large and his fingers are very rough. Now they are calloused and peeling in the winter, so it is impossible to wear them. If you want to wear them, you can only wear them with your little finger, which is very loose even if you wear them.
Moreover, I picked it up, and I don’t know who dropped it. Father Ye didn’t want to wear it, he just wanted to play with it and keep it as a souvenir.
After he has had enough fun, he stuffs it into the pillow again, closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
They said they were going to sleep, but they would be able to go back soon. Both father and son were in high spirits, and they could only be said to be resting with their eyes closed.
Before the time came, they both got up. As soon as there was any movement, the workers in the next room also got up immediately.
In the middle of the night, there was muffled noise from their side again.
Everyone quickly packed up unpacked items such as bedding and bedding.
Ye Yaodong packed up the household items and gave them to his father. He rode his bicycle out to the dock and a big Jiefang came in.
The 20 or so workers he had on hand moved all the luggage to the entrance of the alley on time and were waiting for him.
In the darkness, everyone was happy.
The truck had just stopped, and before he even jumped out of the truck, he saw that they were already carrying their luggage and throwing it into the truck.
"Don't pack your luggage yet, just pack the dried fish first. Go to another rental house that specializes in stocking and move it first. After the move is completed, you can move the things in this room, and then move everyone's sundries."
"Ah, okay, okay... Let's move the dried fish first..."
There was no way a big car could park at the door of their rental house. Fortunately, he had many workers on hand. About 20 people carried it back and forth. It took two trips to load the dried fish and everyone's groceries into the car.
Uneasy, Father Ye went back and forth several times to the rental house they had rented to make sure nothing was missing. Then he felt relieved and urged everyone to get in the car and go to the pier together.
By the time they all finished unloading the cargo and stood on the boat, it would already be dawn.
It was originally expected to set off at 3 o'clock. Even though everyone got up at 1 or 2 o'clock, we were still busy until after 5 o'clock and at dawn before all the things were stacked on the boat.
They had also made an agreement with other ships a long time ago. If whose ship is ready, it will leave the port first and gather in the middle of the sea outside.
Otherwise, there are people coming and going on the pier and there are many fishing boats, making it inconvenient to check back and forth, which will only waste time.
Now it seems there is no shortage of delays.
The main reason is that they have a lot of goods and things, so it takes the longest time.
"Dad, please check the ship. I'll go and count the people to see if everyone is there. By the way, I'll assign people to each ship and let Chen Laoqi go sail the Dongsheng."
"Okay, I'll open the fresh ship. It just so happens that the goods are all on this ship. You go and open the new ship."
"Um."
After the father and son confirmed it, they went to work separately.
Ye Yaodong counted all the people and no one was left behind, so he distributed the 23 people including himself.
There are 7 people each on the Ocean 1, Dongsheng, and the fresh harvest ship. Two more people are put on the small boat, and they are asked to take turns driving the small boat and following the big boat.
None of the workers he has now can sail a boat. The original novices have become veterans after being here for half a year.
After they were assigned, he asked them to go to the corresponding boat, and the two people on the boat also asked them to drive the boat directly to the middle of the sea to join other fishing boats.
Their big ships still need to be honed, checked on board, worshiped by Mazu, and performed some rituals before they can leave the port.
No workers knew that Ye Yaodong had driven the Ocean 1 back to the port and put it back at the port. Only four of them, the father and his son, had not heard of him mentioning it. They thought they would have to wait until next year to drive it back.
After all, the ship was big and the modification would take a long time, which they thought was normal.
The six people who rowed to his side were a little anxious as they watched the others go to the corresponding boats and get into their positions. They were the only ones who stayed where they were.
"Brother Dong, they have all gone to the boat, what about us?"
"You follow me."
"Then which ship should we go to?"
"Just follow me." Ye Yaodong got off the boat first.
Others were a little at a loss when they saw him getting off the fresh harvest boat.
"Boss, should we stay?"
"You really want to stay?"
Ajian quickly shook his head.
"You guys come with me to another boat."
"You still have a boat!?"
Chen Shi said excitedly: "Hoo ho ho..."
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "The cargo ship was renovated a few days ago. It has sailed back and parked at the dock. Let's sail back together this time. You guys follow me on the new ship."
Everyone was surprised.
"Fuck!"
"Really? I didn't even listen to what you said. We thought it hadn't been reformed yet."
"It's too strong. Come on, come on, walk faster, get on the boat and see what it has been transformed into?"
"It's so awesome. The 44-meter boat will stun the whole village when it sails back this time."
"Brother Dong is really awesome. It would be so majestic to drive it back."
"It's amazing. That boat costs more than a hundred thousand yuan. How can I get on a boat that costs more than a hundred thousand yuan? Even if I sell my whole family 10 times or 8 times, it's not even worth that much money..."
"Hey, we can get on Adong's new ship, but others can't..."
"I can't call you Adong Adong anymore, I have to call the boss, hahaha..."
Ye Yaodong seemed that everyone was very excited and happy, "It doesn't matter what you call me."
"That's called Xianyudong!"
Ye Yaodong slapped him, "Don't scream!"
"Hahahaha~"
"I saw the new boat, with big red flowers tied on it. Brother Dong, did you take a photo? This is too domineering."
"After taking the photo, hurry up and get on the boat. The other fishing boats are all at sea, but this one hasn't left yet."
"Let's take a walk and get on the ship to visit."
After Ye Yaodong boarded the ship, he checked everywhere. The cockpit, cabin, and fish warehouse were all locked. The machines on the deck were all shiny and tied with big red flowers.
Others touched it here, looked there, tutted, and drooled with envy.
It wasn't until Ye Yaodong finished the inspection and called them to prepare for departure that they all got into position, lifting the anchor and untying the rope, and cooperated with the fishing boat to leave the port.
There are many fishing boats out to sea early in the morning.
There are ships as big as theirs on the sea, so they are not the only ones, but if they are tied with big red flowers, they are unique. It means that someone has made a lot of money and bought a big ship.
He had just entered the queue to leave the port, and all the eyes around him were focused on his boat, and they were full of envy.
"We don't even know that the boss has a new ship, and the others certainly don't know!"
"I will drive to the sea later and I will envy everyone."
Ye Yaodong was sitting in the cockpit, looking down from high to the surrounding fishing boats. He could clearly see that the people on the decks of the fishing boats were staring at this side. He felt full of accomplishment and the corners of his mouth kept rising.
He first tuned the channel to their collective channel, and as soon as he connected it, he heard a flurry of voices.
A Guang: "Damn it, the Dongzi ship is coming back?"
Zhou Da: "Haha, I said that all the boats have arrived, why did Uncle Ye still say that A Dong has not arrived..."
There is no more night time, don’t wait, this one is for the early morning.
Chapter completed!
