He walked around the workshop, and every woman greeted him warmly when they saw him. They were more satisfied than the mother-in-law seeing her son-in-law.
And the workers came one after another, standing at the door chatting, all of them were in high spirits and beaming with joy.
When he saw that the people had almost arrived, he led them towards the pier.
His father didn't know why he was bothering. He didn't come over, so he didn't care. It didn't matter whether he came or not. There were so many people, not least his father, and there were many people working.
A large group of people happily walked to the pier. Those who didn't know it thought they were going to the market, but they didn't expect that they were going to work.
Ah Cai was sitting at the door basking in the sun. When he saw Ye Yaodong, he immediately rushed up.
"Brother, you are finally back! I am going to be tricked by you!"
Ye Yaodong was confused for a moment and asked the others to go to the boat first while he listened to what Ah Cai said.
"What did I do? I'm not at home, what did I do to you?"
"You fool, I was tricked by you just because you were not at home."
Ah Cai saw that he had a confused look on his face and didn't know anything, so he slapped his thigh angrily.
"You fool, do you still remember that one month before you left, you asked me to change the concierge into a simple cold storage room?"
Ye Yaodong suddenly realized that he remembered.
"Damn it, you've already changed it, haven't you?"
"Isn't that true? Who knew you had been away for more than half a year? All my efforts have been in vain, and you still don't remember this."
He sneered, "I remember, I just came back and I didn't think about it for a moment. Didn't you say you wanted to think about it? Wasn't it still a month away?"
"After considering it and you are away, I didn't think about you going to Zhejiang Province. It's only two months. Two months is enough for me to transform. When you come back, we will just cooperate, so there is no need to waste time."
"Who would have known that you have been gone for half a year, which really hurt me. I had done everything well, but then I heard that you went to another place again. I have been waiting for you at home for half a year."
Ye Yaodong said: "You didn't tell me when you started rectifying it? Besides, as long as you build the wall and make the sealing better, you can basically invest. The store is still your own, and you don't need rent, and you can't spend too much money, right?
?”
"Then I don't have to waste my energy, and I don't have to run back and forth. I don't know how much money I've lost because of the delay in doing this."
He felt that it was not entirely his fault, so he confirmed it and told him before doing it. But when others were not around, Ah Cai couldn't wait to start doing it.
"Brother, please give me an accurate answer. You won't run away again after the new year, right? Then I've finished reforming..."
"Don't worry, you won't leave after the New Year. You will fish in our area. I keep what I said. However, I just came back yesterday, and now it's only half a month until the New Year. We won't go to sea during the New Year first, and we can do it after the New Year."
.”
"Okay, I just need to be sure. Are you sure you won't run away after the new year?"
"Sure, I won't run away."
Ah Cai was satisfied, but after all, he was wrong and started construction without informing him.
"Brother, I heard that you bought another boat worth hundreds of thousands and drove it back directly this time. Where is it? Is it true?"
"Who said hundreds of thousands? Not hundreds of thousands, just hundreds of thousands."
"Just! It's only a few hundred thousand! This number makes me dizzy. You only have a few hundred thousand... It's incredible. You are in heaven. How can I make money for you so easily? Every time I make a
You can make a lot of money by traveling far away."
"This is all hard work. We can only earn it by working together. It's not as simple as you said. When you go out, you just put your head in your belt. If you have too much money, you can't come back."
When Ye Yaodong saw that everyone had already boarded the boat, he waited for him and did not bother to chat with Ah Cai. If there was anything else, he would talk to him when he was free.
"I still have things to do, let's talk about it later."
"Okay, you go and do your work first."
Just unload one deck of cargo, which is fine. I'll put the cargo in the cabin first, and then drive directly to the city when it's empty.
The wind at sea was so strong that it couldn't be placed on the deck, and the nylon strap had to be blown up.
Before everyone unloaded, they all laid a large piece of nylon cloth on the deck as a base to prevent waves from hitting the deck and soaking it.
Then half of the people stood on the fresh harvesting boat, and half stood on the trawl boat to receive the goods. Ye Yaodong was responsible for standing on the fresh harvesting boat and commanding.
When the boats were almost loaded, they would pull one boat back to unload, and then they would continue unloading to another boat.
It took two ships to unload almost the same amount of cargo.
But it was just unloaded on the dock. When they came back from the sea, they had to move the tractor back to the workshop.
His eldest brother, second brother and other ship bosses were also waiting for him at the door of the workshop.
"Dongzi, have you finished unloading the goods?"
"It's almost done. Just transport it back to the workshop."
"Then our goods..."
"After you unload it, bring it over. I'll weigh it directly and send it to the warehouse together."
Others also have some goods that cannot be sold and can only be displayed, especially those small boats, which have been accumulated for several months.
I had agreed before that I would sell it to him when I got home.
There was no scale on it before because the rented place was small and he didn't have room to put it, so taking it in would only take up space.
That’s why I asked them to collect the goods separately first, and the quantity at one time was too small, so it would be troublesome to weigh the goods. It would be easier and more convenient to weigh the goods at once when they get home.
"Okay, there are not many of us. Some of them were unloaded last night, and some were busy early in the morning. We are just waiting for you to receive them."
"Then just send it over while the workers are still there."
"immediately."
They immediately went home to carry out their work, and ran around to tell each other and other ships.
I originally wanted to come over to talk about it early in the morning, but seeing Ye Yaodong busy unloading goods there, I waited until he returned to the workshop before talking about it.
It was almost noon, and Ye Yaodong didn't want to procrastinate until the afternoon, so he just asked the workers to get off work later and finish their work.
It just so happens that tractors are transporting goods back and forth to the dock, and they have to be unloaded when they are brought in. After unloading, they have just delivered the goods, so they can be connected to the weighing system.
Only when these finishing tasks are completed can we be truly busy.
After a while, everyone was pushing carts and delivered all the dried fish they had accumulated. The door of the workshop was bustling with people coming and going on carts, and they were all men.
In the past, the workshops were in a state of decline and there were not many young men in sight.
The women inside were working and talking with great enthusiasm. Some people came out to see why it was so lively and kept looking at the door.
Ye Yaodong was already sweating from the heat. It was okay at sea. After landing, he took off all the sunburned clothes and only wore autumn clothes.
The other men were the same. They all took off their autumn clothes and rolled up their sleeves to resist the temptation.
Not only men like to look at women, but women also like to look at men after gathering in large numbers, and they do so blatantly and talk about men blatantly.
"...This man is back, I feel at ease and I have a backbone..."
"Who says it's not the case... My man went to work as a boatman and received seven to eight hundred yuan in wages, but he still stayed at home looking at An Xin..."
"So much? Why did my family only get 500 yuan back? Didn't it include food and accommodation? Where did the damn money go?"
"Then you have to ask me carefully when you get back at noon."
"Everyone will have a good year this year. My family members all said that they will go buy a TV set in the afternoon after finishing the aftermath, haha..."
"Hey, your family is still willing to give it up. My family only plans to buy a bicycle..."
"It's the Chinese New Year, so I'm going to buy something big for my family..."
Separated by a wall, Ye Yaodong could hear clearly how excited the women next door were.
He also said encouragingly, "Hurry up and just finish your work. After receiving the last few days' wages, you can go buy big things for your family and celebrate the New Year in a glorious way."
"Okay! Hahaha..."
Ye Yaopeng asked him with a smile, "Dongzi, when will your boat return to the village to make a profit? I just saw a lot of people sending fireworks to your house, and the yard was full."
"Ah? The yard is full?"
"Yes, you didn't see it until you went back. The yard is stacked so high that it covers the entire wall. Most of the people in the village sent you fireworks, and the workers also sent them."
Ye Yaodong was surprised when he heard this, "So many?"
"Isn't that right? Most of the people in the village have made money with you. The new ship has returned. It's normal to buy some fireworks to show your feelings."
Ye Yaohua said: "The grocery stores in nearby villages have been sold out, and some of them even went to town to buy them early in the morning."
"If you're serious about it, where will I set off all the fireworks? How can I finish them all..."
"It's just right to keep it for the New Year."
"It's so enthusiastic..."
"Haha, this year is the year of prosperity for the whole village. This morning, people in the village are talking about how awesome you are. I went to Zhou City and met many big bosses. I also became the vice president of some kind of chamber of commerce.
President, you also bought land to build a chamber of commerce, and the banks are sending you money, and they are saying that you have made a lot of money."
Ye Yaodong smiled. He obviously got a loan from the bank and owed the bank money, but he didn't expect that this could be beautified and turned into a bank giving him money.
"It's passed pretty quickly."
"Isn't that right? Most of the men in the village are back. I told my wife last night and of course the news spread the next day."
…
They chatted happily, and after the workers finished their work and weighed all the goods, Ye Yaodong asked Pei Dongqing to call Lin Xiuqing over to give him money.
After all the wages of the workers and the money of the boat bosses for dried fish have been settled, their finishing work has been completed.
Everyone went home happily for dinner.
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also went home. "There are so many goods that we can't pile them up. We have to take them to the city to store them to prevent them from getting damaged by the rain. We just wrapped the house in nylon bags. The place here is too small."
"Are you going to the city tomorrow?"
"I'll see if I'm free tomorrow. If not, I'll do it the day after tomorrow. You can prepare the gift for me. I can just sail there in the next two days."
"Okay, this morning I also distributed some of the specialties you brought back here, and I also gave them to the village cadres."
"Um."
Halfway through their walk, a bunch of dogs came rattling from the door of the house and circled around them.
Ye Yaodong laughed, "Each one has a bell? Haha..."
Lin Xiuqing had a smile on her face and said, "It's so noisy. In the morning, after your daughter strung the bells, she went around catching dogs. After that, she caught chickens. There were chickens and dogs flying everywhere."
"What are you catching chickens for?"
"When there were bells left, she wanted to tie them around the chickens' necks, scaring the chickens to fly everywhere. I took the whip and she stopped."
"You have to tell her that you have to wait until the chickens are in the nest before catching them, so that they won't get mad. You have to reason with the child and don't use the whip at all times."
"You are so good at it. You come here to take care of her. She can stand and talk without pain in her back. You know how to make trouble day by day. You are even skinnier than her two brothers."
"Dad, dad..." Ye Xiaoxi rushed towards him happily.
Ye Yaodong quickly squatted down to catch it, "Have you finished eating?"
"After eating, dad, look and listen..."
She raised her two wrists and put them by his ears, jingling and shaking them.
Ye Yaodong's facial features immediately wrinkled up, it was so noisy!
Lin Xiuqing stood aside and looked at him with gloating to see how he could reason with the child.
"Does it sound good?"
"You'd better tie it to the chicken's neck, or tie it to its feet."
"I can't catch it, and my mother still scolds me, so I'll wear it myself."
"I'll ask your father to catch you later."
"Okay, okay."
Chapter completed!
