Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1283 Accumulation (Fixed)
The design of the sailor shirt is simple and classic. The blue and white stripes symbolize the sea and the sky. This design is not only beautiful, but also helps to improve the safety of offshore operations.

For example, when a soldier accidentally falls into the water, bright colors help him to be quickly discovered and rescued.

In addition, the sailor shirt is also a part of the navy culture and represents the navy's spirit. Therefore, for many recruits, being able to wear such a piece of clothing is also a manifestation of their sense of honor.

For new recruits, putting on this blue and white sailor shirt often means that they have officially become a member of the navy family, and have begun to undergo rigorous military training and devote themselves to the country.

Ye Yaodong felt extremely proud when he saw Lin Guangyuan writing. In his previous life, he dropped out of school early and became a bricklayer.

I have taken a different path in this life and fulfilled my dream.

He felt that his rebirth not only gave him a chance to start over, but also affected everyone around him and changed everyone's destiny.

I dare not say that everyone has become better, but at least the people around him and his close ones are getting better, becoming better than in their previous life.

"I used to hold other people's clothes every day, but now I can wear my own sailor shirt."

"Hey, uncle, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to Vancouver to catch jellyfish? Shouldn't you be at home at this time?"

"It's hard to make money this year, so I came here and have been here for several months. I didn't expect to run into you here today. If I had known, I would have come out sooner."

"We may not be able to meet you even if we come out earlier. We have been training all the time. We will be dispatched today to help maintain order at the dock."

"What are they doing? They're bringing in truckloads of supplies..."

"It seems that they need to build a berthing place for warships. Our navy can build it by itself, but it's still far away. I can't talk about it anymore. I'm about to fall behind. I have to catch up quickly. Uncle, please give me a place to stay. I'll see if I can ask for leave to go out and look for you."

Ye Yaodong quickly gave him an address, but was afraid that he would not be able to remember it, so he took out a few banknotes from his pocket, borrowed a pen from someone next to him, and quickly wrote it down for him.

He even emptied his pockets and gave him all the money he had on him, which was at least several dozen yuan.

"Take it. I'm planning to come out and take a look today. I don't have much money on me. You take the flowers first. When you have a chance to come out, come find me."

"It doesn't take that much. I also have a salary..."

"Your salary is just a few dollars, take it. I will definitely be here before New Year's Day. If you have a chance, come out and find me. After New Year's Day, I can't say for sure."

"Understood. I don't have time to talk today. I have to leave first."

Lin Guangyuan walked away reluctantly and looked back.

Ye Yaodong waved at him, "Go quickly, you're falling behind."

He nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran to catch up with the team.

The sailor shirts worn by each person in the crowd were very easy to identify. If there hadn't been so many people coming and going at the dock and they hadn't walked fast, they would have fallen behind and lost track of each other.

Ye Yaodong watched Lin Guangyuan walk into the crowd, feeling a little emotional. The boy who was about to cry when he was bitten by a turtle a few years ago has grown up.

"Ayuan is really promising. He passed the military inspection and became a marine. He looks really smart in his marine uniform."

"Yeah, I've finally made some progress."

"Ah Hai has gone to the shipyard to be an apprentice. Otherwise, he should be sent to the army. One person serving in the army brings honor to the whole family."

"Everyone has their own destiny. Ayuan has been thinking about it for several years and even went back to school for three years. He treasures the sailor shirt that Captain Chen gave him at home. Now he finally wears it."

"Looking at you makes me want to send Jiang to join the army."

Ye Yaodong asked, "He is one year younger than Ah Hai, so he must be in the third year of junior high school now, right?"

"Yes, it's the third year of junior high school."

"You should study hard. If you can get into high school, then do it. If you can't get in, then think about it. Ah Hai is not that kind of person."

"Ah Jiang is not that kind of person either."

Ye Yaopeng said: "No one can read, and the girls in the family are the same. Fortunately, it doesn't matter for girls. They can help the family with housework for a few years and get married when they are old enough."

"Let's go and look ahead. I wonder where the military port will be built."

"It must be outside the edge..."

"The wind and waves are quite strong..."

"We really need to increase the number of troops stationed here. There are too many migrant workers and it's too chaotic. We need to step up efforts to control it."

The three brothers walked around the dock and saw that there were obviously fewer people causing trouble at the dock today than usual.

Even if there are quarrels or conflicts, they are relatively restrained. The people around them just pull them a little and say some harsh words and it will pass.

Ye Yaodong thought about calling A Qing to talk about it, and after observing the wind and waves at sea, he took the two brothers back early.

When Ye's father heard this, he was also very surprised. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Lin Guangyuan was sent here after passing the military inspection.

Indeed, this place is a large port and definitely requires a large number of naval forces stationed there.

After Ye Yaodong got home, he immediately rode his bicycle out to make phone calls. He called home first, as it had been a few days since he had called to report that he was safe.

Lin Xiuqing excitedly answered his call.

"I just saw A Yuan at the dock!"

"What?" Lin Xiuqing was shocked. "You saw A Yuan?"

"Yes, didn't you know that he was assigned to Zhou City? You didn't tell me about it, and I was so busy that I forgot to ask you."

"I don't know. I only heard from my father that he was assigned to Zhejiang Province, but I don't know where in Zhejiang Province he was assigned to. How could it be such a coincidence?"

"I also think it's such a coincidence. I was shocked just now, so I hurried back from the dock and called you right away."

"That's good, I can still let you see him. I don't know if he can ask for leave to come out."

"I don't know. It should be very strict."

"It's good enough to meet people. I heard that military service takes four years. If I stay there forever, I don't know how many years I will have to stay."

"We'll have to wait and see. Let's wait and see how he performs during his military service."

"I'll call my brother and sister-in-law later and tell them that you saw Ayuan..."

Lin Xiuqing asked him about Lin Guangyuan's recent situation and appearance in a rambling manner so that she could call his brother and sister-in-law later and describe him in detail.

After Ye Yaodong finished talking to her about Lin Guangyuan, he also asked about the recent situation at home, but there was actually not much to say.

He has a lot of things, but there is nothing he can talk about, and everything is normal at home.

Lin Xiuqing is also very busy in the second half of the year. As long as it doesn't rain, Acai delivers goods every day. She organizes the women to kill and dry the fish.

Then occasionally when she delivered goods to the city, she would take Dongqing and a few other young men with her to check the accounts in the city.

At the same time, work was also arranged for filtering in the fish sauce workshop. This work is now done by women from the neighboring villages, which can be regarded as fulfilling Ye Yaodong's promise at that time.

At that time, Ye Yaodong had a lot of people harvesting and fermenting every day, and now it takes a lot of female workers to filter it.

Before he left, everything was arranged properly in the factory. Wang Guangliang was still responsible for receiving goods at the dock, and his two aunts were responsible for fermentation and cooking, and also supervised the process.

Huang Mei keeps the financial accounts, and the money is in the hands of his father-in-law, but Huang Mei records every transaction.

Wang Guangliang and Chen Jianxin had to go through the process to collect money and receive goods every day. They would ask Huang Mei to issue an invoice and then go to Lin's father to collect the goods. This seemed much more standardized.

Whenever Lin Xiuqing had time, he would come to the city to check the accounts and see the situation to avoid being fooled. He could also collect part of the sales revenue from his father's store.

It is true that women hold up half the sky, but she also hopes that Ye Yaodong can come back soon every day.

After all, he is the real head of the family, the core of the family, and the backbone of the family.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief. He also wanted to go home. This trip was really too long.

I didn’t expect it would take so long to come out. It was an accident and plans cannot keep up with changes.

Inside the rental house, everyone was talking about Lin Guangyuan's military service. Most people didn't know Lin Guangyuan, but some of them knew him, after all, Lin Guangyuan had been to Ye Yaodong's house many times.

"Next year, I will also send my son to join the army..."

"We went to the dock earlier and saw that the navy uniforms they wore were really nice, unlike our gray uniforms..."

When Ye's father saw Ye Yaodong coming back, he asked quickly, "Did you call them to inform them?"

"I called Ah Qing, and she will tell her brother and sister-in-law about the rest. The army should also allow phone calls, and Ah Yuan should also tell his parents."

"It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to come out. At least we know we're in the same place, and that's good."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong called Lin's father the next day. He wanted to inform Lin's father to pay attention to receiving a ton of dried shrimps from Zhang Rensu in a few days.

Lin's father also found out yesterday that he had met Lin Guangyuan and was very happy.

"I only know that he was a navy officer in Zhejiang Province, but I didn't know which city exactly. His parents did remember it, but I didn't expect that you two would be together and meet. This is great..."

"If I had remembered it earlier, maybe I would have met him earlier."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. New recruits have a training period. After completing the initial training, they are allowed to communicate with their families. If I had known earlier, I might not have encountered it."

"Okay, okay...if we meet again someday, you have to give me a call."

"Okay, definitely."

He also asked about the current sales of Lin's father's goods. The family can maintain the supply of dried seafood and there is no problem. Although he is not there, everything is in order.

When he was catching jellyfish in Vancouver before, he asked Fang Jingfu to order 5 lighters. Later, when he had to go to Zhou City in a hurry, he also told Fang Jingfu about it.

The 5 lighters were still kept for him. He didn't know how long he would be away in Zhou City, but when he came back, he would definitely pass through Wen City and bring the goods with him.

Who would have thought that more than three months would pass and I would have to stay until the end of the year.

For the 5 lighters, he only paid a deposit of 2 yuan, and the remaining 5 yuan was still unpaid.

The month before last, in September, he also called Fang Jingfu and said that he might have to stay until the end of the year. However, Fang Jingfu said that he asked Lin Jishang to take the 9 lighters back for him.

After all, it was he who brought it to Linji.

When Fang Jingfu asked Lin Jishang to take the goods back, he also called Lin Xiuqing to ask for her consent. After obtaining her consent, he asked her to talk to Lin Jishang on the phone and discuss the delivery address. Only then did he give the goods to Lin Jishang to take back.

As for the 5 yuan payment for the goods, just put it on hold for him first, and when the dividends are distributed at the end of the year, deduct it directly from his dividends.

This made him so happy that he couldn't contain his joy when he found out about it afterwards. He was originally worried about the tens of thousands of lighters being stuck there and not being able to take them back.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ji happened to go to Fang Jingfu to get the goods. After they worked together, they got the goods for him and sent them to the city.

He later called Lin's father to confirm that all 5 lighters had been delivered, and he felt relieved.

In fact, apart from the fact that what Lin Ji did was rather dangerous and his private life was a bit immoral, he was pretty reliable in other aspects and was a righteous person.

These 5 lighters are now being shipped out slowly, so there is no need to worry about running out of stock. The store in the city now has a very stable supply of goods sold every day.

Ye Yaodong went back only after he finished talking with Lin's father.

I called Lin Xiuqing the day before to let her know I was safe, so there was no need to call today.

It was windy for the next two days, making it unsuitable for going out to sea. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would go to the dock to take a look at the tides and waves, and also to see the land that had been fenced off and was being cleared.

I also went to the end of the dock to watch the blue and white stripes working, but I didn't see Lin Guangyuan, and I didn't know if they were working in shifts.

Even in such a cold weather, they took off their coats and worked in just short-sleeved shirts.

He went there every day, as he had nothing to do and it was just a casual thing to do. He stopped going to the dock only when the wind and waves died down and the fishing boats went out to sea again.

It was already the end of the month when I heard from Lin Guangyuan again.

He did not meet Lin Guangyuan himself, but Lin Guangyuan's comrade-in-arms helped to deliver a letter to him.

It turned out that new recruits were not allowed to ask for leave to go out casually, not even for two hours, and their applications would not be approved, so he wrote a letter and asked the old soldiers who had asked for leave to help deliver the letter.

Ye Yaodong immediately asked the old soldier to sit down and have some tea, handed him two packs of cigarettes, and asked him to wait a moment. He would write a reply immediately after reading the letter.

By the way, he went back to the house and put a few pieces of Great Unity between the letters. After all, he needed a middleman to deliver the letter, so he didn't dare put too many, and was worried that the middleman would be too thick.

Anyway, it should be enough for Lin Guangyuan to spend for several months. He gave him several dozen dollars some time ago.

He also rubbed a circle of rice around the sealed edge and then wiped it with saliva to make it stick tightly.

When sending the person out, he was given two more packs of cigarettes, so that he could go back happily.

It's not impossible to give money directly, but it will always be a little less interesting. Accepting money always sounds unpleasant, but accepting a few packs of good cigarettes will not feel burdensome and can make people happy.

Lin Guangyuan didn't write much in the letter, just saying that he couldn't ask for leave, and that the new recruits would not approve it unless there was a serious emergency.

Then I greeted him again and asked about his recent situation here.

Ye Yaodong also wrote in his reply that he had arrived, how long he had stayed, and when he would return. He also asked him to serve as a soldier well, perform well, and strive to take the entrance examination for a military academy in two years.

I also mentioned that I called him yesterday to inform his family that they had seen him and also helped him report to their family that he was safe.

By the way, I also mentioned that I had put 50 yuan in the envelope and asked him to spend it slowly. I would put some more in when he delivered the letter next time.

If he goes back in two months, he might not come back until the second half of the year. I can only leave more money for Lin Guangyuan while we are communicating now.

When you go out, you will not be nervous if you have money in your pocket, and it will be convenient for you to do anything.

It's time to settle accounts again this month. He has made a lot of money this month, so he is generous and can easily give some to Lin Guangyuan. It's just that he can't come out and it's inconvenient for him to take it.

Otherwise, I would have to give Lin Guangyuan at least a few hundred yuan for pocket money. He is not a child anymore, so it’s okay for him to have some extra money in his hand.

But now I can only put it in the envelope little by little and then deliver it to him.

Although there are winds every few days this month, if the wind and waves are not strong, the ships on the sea will not deliberately come back, and only the small trawling boats will be affected.

Unless several large ships have not yet put out to sea, if there are wind and waves, they will wait for safety reasons.

So we have been out to sea for 20 days this month, and those small boats probably took less than half a month, but it is probably enough to make a profit.

He had already calculated his accounts in advance for this month and found a net profit of more than 10 yuan.

Whenever they returned from dock, they would sell several of their boats, including the shrimp-catching boat, themselves. This meant he made less money, but it didn't matter because he made the bulk of the profit.

There was also the bills for the dozen or so trawlers, and he planned to settle the bills and collect the money from them one by one in the next two nights.

All together, his income this month should be around 12.

This is simply unthinkable.

At the end of last month, he spent 2 yuan to buy the land. After deducting the money he paid back to A Guang, he still had more than 2 yuan left as the capital for collecting shrimps. This month, like a snowball, he managed to accumulate more than 14 yuan.

He spent 10 dollars to buy a cargo ship, and sent 5 dollars back home in installments when he was in Vancouver and when he first came to Zhou City.

He casually calculated the income from the past few months, and he couldn't believe it. He had already earned more than 30 yuan. And it was only the end of November. There was still December and early January...

He can continue to accumulate wealth...

In the past, he would never have dared to think about this. Not only for others, but also for him, this number was an unattainable dream.

The family's wealth accumulated over four years, including several workshops, a few shops, and more than a dozen ships, added together could only barely cover what he earned in half a year.

After mastering the channels and means of production, he finally understood what it meant to make money from money.

However, it was also the gradual accumulation of the previous years that led to his rapid realization in the past six months.

If there weren't so many fishing boats, he wouldn't have been able to come here to make a fortune.

Without the certification from the fishery associations of the two provinces, he would not have been able to gain the trust of so many people and sell his goods so well.

Ye Yaodong went into the house and checked all the account books for this month. He also calculated how much money he expected to earn before he returned home in about 40 days.

This is also his usual character.

Calculate the money you haven’t earned yet in advance, and put all the money you can earn later into your pocket.

After another calculation, he estimated that he could earn another 20 or yuan. With the dividends from a few small boats, he might be able to earn yuan if he was lucky.

This almost made him drool with joy.

By this calculation, he can earn more than 50 in half a year. You won’t know until you count it, but when you count it, you will be shocked.

Even after deducting the flowers, the money is still the same as what was sent home in advance.

He can save about 350,000 to 360,000 yuan.

Then the password box will definitely not be able to hold it...

Ye Yaodong was holding the account book with his mouth almost crooked from smiling.

When he comes back in the second half of next year and gets the ships ordered from the shipyard, his assets will definitely double again.

After dinner in the evening, he actively went door to door. As long as someone was at home, he would check the accounts and take the money. If someone was not at home, he would leave it behind.

He settled the accounts of all the captains at home, then went to find the captain who had just returned, and repeated the process for the second time.

It wasn't until 10 o'clock in the evening that he collected all the bills for the month.

As he expected, when the weather turned cold, there were strong winds and waves at the port, which affected the sailing of small boats and caused a sharp drop in profits.

Last month, each ship could still get a little over 1000 yuan, but this month, fewer ships can get 1000 yuan. Many of them are getting around or yuan, and some are only getting or yuan.

All in all, he only got more than 13000 yuan, which is not a small amount, because he has so many fishing boats.

Ye Yaodong settled all the accounts, collected all the money, and went back to count it himself. He now had more than 14 yuan in his hands.

When the amount accumulates before he goes home, he doesn't believe that after he goes home, everyone will still nag him about how he took out a loan of 20 yuan to buy a boat and spent another yuan to buy a boat.

I guess he wouldn't even have time to laugh when he saw a sack of money, and he would brag about how awesome he is.

If they continue to nag, he will just carry 20 yuan to Zhoushan Bank to pay it back. Let's see who is more anxious, him or them.

After all, one has to pay for it himself and the other doesn't. I don't believe that they won't be anxious when he pays back the money.

I guess we have to stop him with all our might.

Since all the money has been loaned out, you must make a profit and then pay it back by the deadline.

When he returns, he will have to see the situation. Should he pass through Wen City first to settle accounts with Fang Jingfu, fill his sack a little fuller, and go back to shock the women in his family?

It would be better for him to go back first. After all, the whole village was following him, and it would be inconvenient for him to take everyone to stop in Vancouver.

If they feel that the voyage is too far, it would be convenient for them to stop at the port of Vancouver to rest for a day.

But we'll talk about this when the time comes.

Ye Yaodong put the money back into the safe, locked it up, and hid it. He also found a clean sack for use.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars, both in small and large amounts, in banknotes and coins, had already filled up the entire safe. It was not convenient to stuff more money into it, so he prepared the sack in advance.

I have to find some clean straw tomorrow to put inside as a cushion.

Late in the night, Ye Yaodong returned to his room and kept fiddling with these things, either counting money, clattering banknotes, or shaking a nylon bag.

This old house has poor sound insulation, and he could hear the neighbor next door cursing who was not sleeping in the middle of the night and what was going on there...

After he finished his work, he quickly lay down on the bed.

It was so cold, if he wasn't counting money, would he be so busy? He would have been in bed early.

December is coming soon, and the wind at the port is stronger than that at their doorstep. Even the house is leaking.

The next day, Ye Yaodong was still woken up by the cold wind blowing in from the edge of the window. The old house had very poor thermal insulation properties.

If the quilt and mattress were not new, he felt he would not be able to survive the winter, but he was still woken up early by the cold.

"Why so early, Boss..."

"No one is warming the bed, it's too cold. I got up and found some newspapers to cover the windows again. They're leaking air."

"Hahaha, we said you had to find a wife here and build a family. With your looks and your ability to make money, there are plenty of young ladies and widows for you to choose from."

"Stop talking nonsense, you guys are like a pack of wolves. Can I find another one to blend in with you? Stop joking, where did you put the newspaper from before?"

"It's a fire."

"what?"

"I thought you had read them all, and they were useless, so they were piled there, and I used them to start a fire to cook."

"Your uncle...you loser."

"There's nothing to start the fire. There's no straw, no sawdust. I'm just thinking of using those newspapers to start the fire..."

Ye Yaodong cursed a few more times before going out to get some newspapers from others to paste on the windows.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw that the vegetables his father planted in the wooden boxes outside were covered with a thick layer of frost, making everything look white.

"It's all frosty, is it going to snow?"

"No way, it will snow here?"

"It's only December and there's already frost. If it gets any colder, won't it snow?"

"It's good to have snow. I still don't know what snow looks like in this lifetime..."

"The snow could freeze you to death."

Ye Yaodong put on the scarf, which Ah Qing had specially asked someone to bring to him last time. It was just the right thing to keep him warm.

White smoke came out of his mouth when he spoke.

After going out, he stretched out his hand and blew a breath as he walked, then crossed his hands and tucked them into his sleeves.

After asking around, I finally got a stack of newspapers. I asked the landlord for a bowl of rice milk, and then I pasted the windows with newspapers.

It didn’t feel so cold a few days ago, but now the temperature is dropping particularly quickly.

However, when the sun came out, the temperature rose again, and a bunch of people sat at the door, eating breakfast and basking in the sun.

The landlady even waved to him and handed him a hot red tomato as a snack to accompany his breakfast.

He smiled and said thank you, then ate the skin together. It was soft, sticky and warm, and perfect to go with porridge, with a hint of sweetness.

"Boss, should we go out to sea tonight or tomorrow morning? The wind looks pretty strong."

"Let's go out to sea in the early morning. It's too cold at night. It's better to lie down in bed and have a good sleep. We will work all day tomorrow and make three trips back and forth. It's just right to work until night and come back to have a good sleep."

"Adong, Adong, hurry up, come out quickly, that little beauty is looking for you again."

Ye Yaodong heard the shouting at the door and looked up. A red figure also appeared at the door, stretching his head to look into the house.

"Shen Ming'e?"
