He had no money at hand, and as soon as he entered the house, he felt a little empty in his heart.
In the afternoon, he played cards, held meetings, had meals, and got a massage at the Chamber of Commerce. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and he had no time to think.
When I got home, I couldn't help but take out my bankbook and take a look.
Ever since he had a large sum of money on hand, his heart had been on edge, he had been nervous, and he was very vigilant when entering and exiting. Suddenly, the tight strings were loosened, but he was not in a relaxed mood.
All the money was gone, and all that was left was a passbook, with only a string of numbers and several zeros left.
"This becomes a number? Hey——"
"Fortunately, I will have money again tomorrow——"
Thinking of this, he became happy again, pressed his bankbook under his pillow, and went out to fetch water and take a bath again.
"Brother Dong, do you want to take a shower?"
"What to wash? Do you still want to wash when your body smells good?"
"Hahaha--."
Ye Yaodong gestured with the washbasin in his hand, pretending to smash it at them.
"Don't make blind guesses, my friend just invited me for a massage."
"Understood~"
"They said, if you can't keep your body secret, you have to keep your mouth shut, otherwise you have to watch and help each other, hahahaha...
"Hahaha-
"There are so many words for this, haha, where did you learn it? -
"You're just talking nonsense, that's you, don't get involved with me."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about their commotion. He simply took a shower, stepped on his clothes a few times, dried them, then went back to the house and lay down. He took out his bankbook and looked at it. After looking at it a few more times, he felt happy.
When sleeping, he also put his bankbook next to his pillow,
When he got up on the second day, he stuffed his bankbook into the mattress and locked the doors and windows when he went out.
The workers were going to sea to collect goods. Although he did not plan to go to sea, he also went out to the dock with them and watched them drive out the fresh goods ship. Then he returned to the construction site and supervised the workers building houses.
After lunch, he rode his bicycle to the Chamber of Commerce under the bright sun.
He now arranges his time very well. In the morning he supervises the construction of the house, in the afternoon he goes to the Chamber of Commerce to kill time, connect with each other, and carry out business. Then in the evening he goes to the dock to collect goods, and at night he delivers goods and collects payments.
Properly.
However, while he was playing cards in the afternoon, a soldier suddenly stood at the door and shouted to the people in the room, saying that he was here to deliver a message.
Everyone looked up. Ye Yaodong turned around and saw that he was wearing a navy uniform and stood up immediately.
"Is this a letter from Lin Guangyuan?"
"Yes, yes, they said they were sent here to Ye Yaodong."
He hurried forward, smiled and thanked the soldiers constantly, and quickly invited the people in.
"Lao Zhang, I asked him to come in and sit down for a while and drink some water. It's too hot outside. I'll write a reply. I happen to be here and he caught up with me."
"Okay, let him sit down and rest for a while."
Ye Yaodong hurriedly filled some water and handed it to the soldier, and also handed him an unopened pack of cigarettes in his pocket.
When he comes here, he must have two boxes of better cigarettes in his pocket. He has opened one box today and has one box left.
just.
"Comrade Navy, please wait a minute. I'll write a reply immediately and send it back to you."
"Then you have to hurry up. I was out to do something, and then I was asked by Lin Guangyuan to deliver a letter. I didn't expect that he, a boy from Fujian Province, has relatives here?"
"Haha, I am his uncle."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he went to borrow pen and paper, and then wrote a reply immediately after reading the letter.
There was no envelope, so he used Lin Guangyuan's envelope, stuffed 50 yuan into it, and sealed the seal with glue.
Then send the person away politely.
He wrote the address of his house there and asked Lin Guangyuan to send it to him there next time he sent a letter. If he had a chance to come out, he could go there to find him.
And he also said that he would be there until the year before.
Unexpectedly, after calling Ah Qing last month, he immediately sent a letter this month. It was quite timely. "Boss Ye, do you have any relatives here who are soldiers?"
"What kind of position is it? Being a soldier is pretty good these days."
"Yes, the navy has become very good in the past few years, and smuggling——"
Everyone was already discussing it, and the more they talked, the more envious they became.
Ye Yaodong only said that he was his wife's nephew. Danzi, a new recruit who had just joined the army last year, did not expect to be assigned here.
Everyone turned to the topic of the benefits of being a soldier and the future.
He thought that there were also telephones here that he could call, so he called his father-in-law and asked about the situation in the city. He also told them about it, and Lin Guangyuan also sent a letter.
Father Lin was very happy, "We have contacted him? It's good that we have contacted him. This child is not safe when he is away from home. If we can contact you, then we will feel more relieved.'
"Well, I wrote him a reply and wrote the address of my house here. If he is free, he can come to me at any time."
"I guess it's hard. He's just a new recruit. How can he ask for leave so easily if there's no emergency?"
"We'll see when the time comes. If you can't get out now, you can get out in two years. Anyway, if my house is built over there, it won't be lost. Once I know the address, he can come here in the future."
"Okay, okay, your little uncle has helped him a lot, and also helped our family a lot. Without you,
We are all still digging in the fields for food——"
"Why are you saying this? We are all a family, and dad, you have been helping me. Without you, I would not have such a good person to help look after the store. How can outsiders be as trustworthy as our own people."
"Haha, don't worry, I can take care of this store for you if I can still do it. Now I can speak Mandarin to anyone."
Ye Yaodong also laughed. He still had his feet trimmed, but he could speak openly and not be afraid of people laughing at him.
He saw the sun was going down and said a few words before hanging up.
"It's time to eat, brothers."
"The sun hasn't even set yet, what a waste." Jin Laixi responded.
"Then you eat your shit, I'm going home to eat."
"Why are you so anxious? Let's have dinner together tonight after we play our cards? Why don't we go for a massage together later? I was not free to receive the goods yesterday, so you all went to get a massage one by one, and I didn't even make it in time -"
"Then you continue with the massage. I will be a little busy later. After dinner, I have to go to the dock to collect the goods. I will deliver the goods to you after I finish. I will be busy until midnight at night."
"That's it, then go ahead, our goods can be delayed, let's go get a massage first——"
Ye Yaodong agreed.
He who works hard and gets rich deserves to be rich!
It is not difficult to make money these days. What is difficult is whether you can hold on to your wealth after getting rich suddenly.
He braved the afterglow of the setting sun and returned home with his face flushed. Only then did he start to worry about whether they would be able to return smoothly after receiving the goods.
During the day, he was doing this and that, and he just thought about it occasionally. Now that he was back, everyone was discussing how to collect the goods later, and he couldn't help but worry.
He had followed him before, so nothing happened, but today they went out alone.
After dinner, he went to the pier and stood waiting, watching the fishing boats entering the harbor one by one, but he didn't see his boat. He couldn't sit still.
The workers were very calm at first, but when they saw him walking around and looking anxiously into the distance, they couldn't help but worry about him.
"Brother Dong, is everything okay? The sun has just set and it's still very bright. It's normal that you haven't come back."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, weighing the goods is very slow. You have to wait for the fishing boat to set up the net before approaching. With so many goods, it will basically be dark when they come back. This is still early. Most of the time, it is dark.
return."
"Yeah, it's still early now, we can go to the fish market next to it to check today's prices."
"I heard that the fish market near the pier is only temporarily enclosed. I heard that the fish market street inside seems to be building a big trading market——."
"I've heard about it too. I heard that a port is also being built on this side of the pier, specifically for cargo ships to dock and transport seafood-·
+
The workers listened to the discussions of the people around them and followed them, and Ye Yaodong's attention was also diverted.
If it is built, then next year he will have to buy a few shops and put them there.
Just as he was also thinking about it, he suddenly saw a group of people wearing navy blue uniforms trotting over in front of him, and he immediately cheered up.
Lin Guangyuan also mentioned in the letter sent over in the afternoon that a port is being built at the dock, and they will be pulled out for training every now and then and will be brought over to help.
"The soldiers are here—"
The crowd took the initiative to move aside and let the group of soldiers pass by.
Ye Yaodong also squeezed to the side of the road to take a look, but he saw that every black head was evenly black.
They all look like the same face...
But others saw him differently. He stood out from the crowd and stood out among a group of fishermen.
It was Lin Guangyuan who squeezed his way out of the scattered crowd and said hello to him that he saw the person.
"Damn it, why are you so dark here? Everything is so dark. I can't even find you."
"Sister-in-law, you are finally here again! Did you receive the letter I asked someone to deliver this afternoon? I asked my comrades to deliver it to that chamber of commerce—"
"I received it. I wrote you a reply, left a new address, and stuffed you 50 yuan in the letter.
》
"Haha, it's great. I'm rich again. Where is your new address? I've been out all afternoon and haven't gone back yet. I haven't seen the letter yet."
Ye Yaodong had already touched his pocket and was about to give him the money in his pocket, but as soon as he touched the palm of his hand, he put it back.
He just put a few dozen dollars in when he came out, and he would have to pay for the delivery later. Anyway, he just stuffed the money into the envelope in the afternoon.
"The new address is written inside the letter. Remember to read the money inside and don't lose it."
"It won't be lost. Like last year, I got all the money you stuffed into the envelope. I even treated the comrade who delivered the letter to instant noodles."
"Please eat instant noodles-"
"Stop talking, I have to return to the team quickly, otherwise I will be discovered. We have to return to the base. It's good if you received the letter."
Lin Guangyuan said as he backed away and looked at the slowly walking team in front of him.
"Hey, I haven't even asked you if it's hard work..."
He jogged and replied, "It's not hard——"
Ye Yaodong watched the person go away, saying only a few words in a hurry, wasting two minutes.
"Brother Dong, is this your nephew who is a soldier?"
"Um.
"It's quite promising——
"It's hard to say if there is no future, but it is quite glorious."
"That is, if there is a soldier in the family, the whole family will stand straight."
"The ship is back——"
Ye Yaodong quickly looked at the sea, and there was indeed his fresh harvesting boat in the fishing ground entering the port.
His boat looked different from others. It had the words "Dongsheng Fresh Harvest Ship" written on it. It was not only written on the hull, but also on the cabin on the second floor.
From a distance, it looks a bit blurry, but the shape of the font can also be seen as an outline.
"It's good to be back. We'll dock soon. Let's go to the docking station."
"OK."
Everyone moved with him and moved to their stopping points.
A ship full of goods was brought back and the deck was piled high. Ye Yaodong looked extremely satisfied.
"Thank you for your hard work, I was still worried about not landing for a long time."
"Haha, it's not dark yet. Isn't it usually this time? Sometimes it's even later." The old cousin followed him and said with a smile.
Other workers are moving the goods out of the fish warehouse.
"I didn't go out with you the first time. I was a little worried. It's okay. I'll think about it later and give you a salary increase."
"That's great. Here are the manifests of several ships. They are all well listed."
Ye Yaodong looked through it and remembered the full weight of every item in the order. Only the unit price was not written down.
Wait for him to fill it out.
After reading the total number of each order, he had an idea in his mind, so he put the order in his own account book and tucked it away.
"First weigh out the items I need one by one, and then I'll rent a car."
"good."
He asked Lao Biao to weigh the goods according to the quantity of items required by each person on the list, and he went to arrange the cars.
It's not the first day, everyone is used to it.
After successfully delivering all today's goods and putting the payment back into his pocket, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the work is completed successfully, you won’t have to worry about it anymore.
After finishing work and returning home, he asked his old cousin to go to the room to talk, and he must fulfill his promise of a salary increase.
"If I weren't on the fresh-harvesting ship, you would be the number one. It's not appropriate to get your previous salary. You still have to worry about this ship."
"Hehe - they are all brothers -"
"That's why my brother is relieved, but we can't let you suffer. The workers' salary is now 135, and I will give you 300 a month."
This is just a fresh-picking boat that goes out to collect goods, and the docking boats are all our own fishing boats. It comes back on the same day after the collection, so it’s not a hassle at all.
There is no comparison with the boss of the boat. The boss of the boat has been operating the fishing boat at sea for a long time, and he has been out for at least a week.
Not to mention Ocean 1, when his father goes out, it usually lasts for more than 20 days unless there are special circumstances.
Therefore, the risk you take is small, and the rewards you get are naturally relatively small.
But it is already more than twice that of workers.
"300! That's a lot!"
"That's right. If you work hard, you won't suffer any losses. We will pay more in the future. When the time comes, I will buy insurance and pension for you. After working for 20 years and retiring, you will still have a lot of money every month.
Get your salary."
The old cousin’s mouth was growing big, and he was a little afraid of being confident, “Really!?’
"Of course, I keep my word, but your salary must be kept secret and no one can talk about it. Although the more you work, the more you get, but different positions should have different salaries, but the workers think that you will get so much.
There will also be emotions in my heart.
"You can't say it's good, you can't say it's the best, otherwise you'll be afraid of spending too much money, and you won't be able to explain it when you get home."
"Hahaha, I'm just worried that my sister-in-law will settle the score with you."
The old cousin rubbed his hands and laughed, "Women are so narrow-minded and they can count a little money very clearly. What's wrong with spending a little money when going out?"
"Well, the salary is confidential anyway. You can tell your cousin as much as you want when you go home. I won't tell you anything here."
"Okay, then how much do I get per year? 3000--3600?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Oh, I have so many mothers! If I work for three years, won't I become a household worth ten thousand yuan?"
The old man was very surprised.
"right."
"Fuck---more than 3,000 a year is worth what I used to do for 10 years."
"Haha, there will be more in the future. Go and rest. It's been a hard day."
"OK."
My old cousin smiled crookedly, walked unsteadily, and had to open the door several times before he finally succeeded.
Ye Yaodong also laughed, he was quite contented.
Fortunately, his mother has many brothers and sisters, and each of them has many children. Naturally, he also has many older cousins.
My brothers all have boats, so I can only take care of my own boat, which is of no use.
Wen Youhuo, his nephew, was reluctant to let them go to sea, and his son Wen Xiao was reluctant to let them go to sea.
Fortunately, there are still a bunch of old cousins, and the old cousin has a bunch of sons, who can all come in handy.
If he really wanted to count them, he wouldn't even know how many old cousins ​​he had, so he would have to ask his mother to count them.
Those who were not familiar with each other in the previous life will become familiar if they come close to each other in this life.
It doesn’t matter whether we are familiar with each other at home, or whether we are all united, but when we go out, we must be more united than others. The people in their village are also more united than others, and they are all close to each other in their hometown.
After Ye Yaodong closed the door, he poured out the money from the night's sales again, packed it neatly, and counted it again.
He finally has money again!
I just returned to zero yesterday, and I have money and comfort at night. Now I have a sense of security and a sense of crisis.
Since last month, the goods have gradually increased. This month, the number of hairtails has increased. Their fishing boats have focused on hairtails from this month.
Today's shipment of goods sold for 16,000 yuan. Normally, only the Ocean No. 1 could sell this much.
Ye Yaodong felt very happy after counting the money. When he collects the cargo from his Ocean No. 1 ship tomorrow, he should still have enough money to add another 20,000 yuan to his account.
Now he has more than 30,000 yuan. If some of it is taken out, he will have nearly 30,000 yuan himself.
After a few more days of accumulation, he would see if he could buy an old house on Fish Market Street!
Aquatic product trading centers have begun to be built, which shows that prosperity is not far away.
Last year, I was worried that people were no longer here, and I was worried about not being able to keep it when I bought it. This year is different.
Their chamber of commerce has all made their way through the government, and now it has accumulated a wave of businessmen from various industries.
He can be regarded as having accumulated a small network of likes.
Although it seems to be of little use, it can only expand contacts, collect more goods from him, and make some money, but at least there is an organization.
Moreover, there are many people and there is strength. There are three to four hundred workers around me now. They are already familiar with this place. How can I be afraid of being occupied when I buy a piece of land?
If he goes back during the New Year, there will definitely be some more goods coming after the New Year. He might also take turns staying here with his father to receive the goods.
You're a bastard who doesn't make money.
With that person here, things are naturally different, and he can supervise and supervise at all times.
Today is different from the past.
This year he is different from last year, and the money on hand needs to be invested separately.
There are still 5 ships hanging in the shipyard that have not been delivered yet. He does not plan to order them now. He can wait until they are delivered.
Of course, the money on hand will be used to buy a house and land. The shops inside will have to wait until next year, and I guess they will be looted by then.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that it would be good to deposit the 200,000 in the bank to balance the risks. No matter how much you invest, you can't stop saving.
If you deposit money there, you may be able to borrow more when the loan matures.
Thinking that the 1990s was a period of rapid development, he felt a surge of ambition in his heart!
The salted fish has turned over!
Fortunately, I handed over the received goods to the workers, so I could spend a lot of time on the shore. When the sky cleared, I just took a few friends out to look around.
At the same time, I also encourage them to buy houses and land. Let's do it together and share the risks. It also allows them to remember their love and thank them in tears.
Maybe it will be a lifelong favor.
It is better to coax them into buying a house or land than to let them spend it on a sweetheart and have no money left to go home and benefit their wife and children.
After Ye Yaodong finished thinking about it, he organized the money in his hand and hid it in the mattress. Then he filled in the price on the receipt and calculated the price for everyone.
It was late at night and everyone went to bed early after washing up and planning to continue going to sea to collect goods early tomorrow morning.
That is to say, the lights were still on in his room, and he was still pressing the calculator and doing calculations.
By the end of the calculation, he was getting annoyed. He would occasionally make miscalculations and his patience would run out.
"Damn it, I should ask a little girl to settle the accounts for me. I have a lot of trouble calculating every day, and I'm still worried about making the wrong calculation."
"Your sister——"
He pressed the calculator a few times and scratched his hair. After getting angry, he could only continue to calculate honestly.
If you don't finish it today, you have to finish it tomorrow, Mad.
He has never taken the first grade math test so seriously!
Still staying up late.
If he had had this motivation to study, would he have become illiterate? Would he have become a fisherman?
Sure enough, money can make the world go round.
After Ye Yaodong calculated and looked at the time, it was already one o'clock. He cursed and hurriedly lay down to sleep, waiting to sort out the list tomorrow.
It was just early in the morning, before he even woke up, and he heard the chatter outside, all talking about giving birth.
"How many hairs should I give birth to? How many children should I give birth to?"
He opened the door and went out cursing, trying to tell them to be quiet, but they heard that they had given birth to more than a dozen babies.
"Two dogs have given birth to puppies?"
"I gave birth last night, 13 of them, all colors."
"I heard you guys talking about having a baby early in the morning. I thought one of you was in love with her."
"It was born from this dog."
Ye Yaodong repeated jokingly, "Born from a dog."
"This sounds like swearing, haha——"
"I'll keep my eyes open for a while, keep my voice down, and those of you who should go to sea should quickly go to sea to collect the goods."
"Okay, I'll go after breakfast."
Chapter completed!
