Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1293 Leaving
Ah Guang: "When did the boat come back? Oh, I was busy packing these days and worried about the weather, so I didn't think much about it. I didn't expect that the Dongzi boat would come back, and I didn't even buy a single firework."

Zhou Da: "Yeah, no more talk, otherwise we will each have to send one firecracker over."

Father Ye smiled and said, "If we give them away, they will just take up space. How can we put them all away? It doesn't matter. We have already driven them back."

"No, we have to send the fireworks for this big occasion. We can make up for it when we get back."

"Yeah, this bastard didn't say anything..."

Ye Yaodong said, "Why are you scolding me? How dare you scold me behind my back!"

"How dare I? You are the shipping king now. Who has more ships than you?" A Guang said with a smile.

Father Ye also said in the channel: "Are you ready? Have you sailed out? All the fishing boats are here, waiting for you."

"Is everyone here? Have you done the inventory?"

Ye Yaopeng said: "We came out first, and when we arrived, we met up with other fishing boats first. After counting, all the boats said that they had all the people on board."

"After we came out, Zhou Da also arrived, and then A Guang arrived. You were the last to arrive. You have been waiting for more than an hour."

Ye Yaodong explained, "There was too much cargo, so the trucks had to make two trips back and forth. Fortunately, there were many people, so the cargo was moved quickly. Otherwise, we don't know how long it would have been delayed. Now the ships are queuing up to leave the port, so it will be soon."

"When you get here, we can set off."

"I'll be there soon..."

"Dongzi, how much did it cost to modify this boat?"

"More than 2."

"Fuck, more than 12 for a boat? That's amazing."

……

There was a lot of chatter in the channel, accompanied by the sound of electricity. Ye Yaodong turned down the volume, looked at the surrounding sea, and slowly drove the boat away from the port.

There were a large number of fishing boats gathered on the sea ahead, and he knew at a glance that they were their boats.

After leaving the port, he headed straight over.

At the same time, the wow noise in the channel became louder.

Ye Yaodong interrupted them, "Let's go, once we are all together, let's go. The big boat will lead the way, the small boat will be in the middle, and then put two big boats at the back, so that there won't be any disconnection."

"Just like we adjusted it halfway here."

"This cargo ship is now the largest. Should it lead the way?"

Ye Yaodong said: "Okay, I'll lead the way and you guys follow me."

They discussed the distribution, and Ye Yaodong drove the boat first.

The fishing boats in their village were already in an uproar when the big ship approached. Seeing the familiar people on the Ocean One, they knew that it was the modified cargo ship that Ye Yaodong had bought before.

When Ye Yaodong was communicating with other boats in the channel, the boatmen below were also shouting to the surrounding fishing boats. Everyone was really surprised.

They saw with their own eyes a fishing boat worth hundreds of thousands of dollars actually coming back, and it was from their village. They can brag about it for years after they go back.

When Ocean No. 1 started moving, everyone hurried to follow.

The SF Express and Mancang accelerated and rushed forward, while the Fengshou, Dongsheng and the fresh-food shipping ships were at the end.

This is equivalent to three large ships in the front and three large ships in the back, which are evenly distributed. The fishing boats in the middle look very safe and prestigious.

After their dozens of boats were sailing in the middle of the sea, the surrounding fishing boats that had just left the port saluted and gave way, and everyone felt a sense of pride.

Many people also think that after they return, they will build a boat of their own next year and become the captain of the boat themselves.

Ye Yaodong crossed his legs and ate a bun while drinking hot tea.

He was already hungry again after working all night.

When he went to look for the truck in the morning, he bought a few hundred steamed buns and used the back seat of his bicycle to buy them from several bun shops near the dock for breakfast. The rest could be used as lunch.

They were still talking loudly in the channel, and Ye Yaodong just turned the volume down to the lowest level.

Although he hardly slept the entire night, he was still full of energy. He was in high spirits and had something to look forward to. He was full of energy and if he had not had to dock in Vancouver, he would have wanted to go home immediately.

As they sailed along, the fishing boats they encountered all looked at the dozens of fishing boats in shock, wondering where the fishing boats were from and why they were traveling together.
The two words "Dongsheng" printed on the Oceangoing No. 1 ship were also seen and mentioned by the surrounding fishing boats.

Ye Yaodong was grinning and humming all the way. He was even happier when he met a fishing boat. He didn't see other people's surprised expressions, but he could imagine it.

One day, all his fishing boats will be labeled with the word "Dongsheng". That will be shocking and he will become famous.

"Sweet...your smile is so sweet..."

After the fleet sailed on the sea for an hour or two, the number of fishing boats they encountered gradually decreased, and the foggy sky cleared up.

Originally, the sky was a deep blue-gray tone, cold and fresh. The air was filled with the unique crispness of winter, and you could seem to feel a hint of coolness with every breath.

As time went by, a faint orange-red hue gradually appeared in the thick clouds. The color was not dazzling, but rather soft as if diluted by the cold wind.

The clouds gradually faded away, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the clouds, shining on the windshield in front of him, with a dazzling golden light.

Ye Yaodong casually took out the frog-eye goggles from his pocket and put them on, rubbing his cold hands. The temperature in the cockpit gradually rose and the air didn't smell so cold anymore.

"The sun is out..."

"What a nice day! It's so sunny and comfortable."

"This time the weather forecast wasn't a lie..."

"It's comfortable when there's sunshine..."

The channel had originally become quiet as everyone was concentrating on sailing, but as soon as the sun came out, it became active again.

Ye Yaodong opened the cockpit and went out to feel it, but still felt quite cold. He shrank back and stayed inside the cockpit before he felt warm.

Although the sun was out today and the weather was good, the northwest wind was still strong, especially at sea. The direction of the wind was not consistent with the direction they were sailing, but was blowing at an angle.

There were so many fishing boats behind him, and he had to keep up with their speed. He estimated that by the time he reached Vancouver, it would be evening.

The channel was only lively for a moment before returning to silence. After more than ten hours of sailing, not everyone would want to talk for a long time, so if there was nothing to do, everyone would switch channels.

When the fishing boat set out, the boatmen only sat on the deck to enjoy the breeze for a while, and then returned to the cabin to rest.

The new ship's cabin is bigger, and it has two cabins, upper and lower. There is also a lounge behind Ye Yaodong's cockpit where he can sleep. If he is tired, he can just lie down in the back and sleep, and someone else can take over the driving.

However, he thought about docking directly in Vancouver without having to change drivers, and it would be enough for him to drive it all day.

He had already prepared a whole pot of tea on the workbench. The more he drank, the more energetic he felt and there was no need to worry at all.

While driving, he chatted with others from time to time.

They set out at daybreak and continued until sunset when it got dark. Under his leadership, dozens of their boats were getting closer and closer to the port of Vancouver where they often docked.

He also changed the channel and informed everyone, "We are about to dock at the dock in Vancouver. What are your plans? If you want to go back, you can take the boat back now."

Father Ye said, "We've already arrived at the port. Why don't you all go ashore and rest for the night? It's harder to see clearly at night than during the day. It's safer to set off during the day."

Ye Yaopeng agreed, and A Guang had no objection. Mancanghao naturally would not leave alone.

This was also what Ye Yaodong expected.

There was no prior allocation as to which ships would go back first and which would follow him to dock at the Port of Vancouver.

I was hesitant at the time, but if I talked about it later, I would naturally go with the flow and stay.

Now everything is going well and we are almost reaching the Port of Vancouver. There is no doubt about it. At the very least, we will stay at the port and sleep for a night. It will be safer to set sail the next day.

Those small trawlers could neither shelter them from the wind nor from the rain, and for them, it was uncomfortable to be blown by the wind from early morning till night without doing any work.

It's almost night now, so we definitely can't just lie down on the deck and sleep. If we can get to shore, we'd better do it and have a good night's rest.

As dozens of their boats slowly approached the dock, there were also some late-returning fishing boats nearby. They all looked at their group of fishing boats in shock and avoided them from a distance.

If it was the jellyfish season, they could understand why so many fishing boats were docked at the pier, but what day was it now?
It’s already Laba Festival. Where do so many boats come from in such a cold weather?

The supplies that come to shore won't be brought in such a large batch.

The surrounding fishermen and people on the shore pointed and looked at their fishing boats curiously. Some of them who had just sold their goods did not dare to leave and continued to stand where they were, wanting to see where the boat came from.

They had too many fishing boats, and some were difficult to dock, so they all stopped in the middle of the sea and sent a few small boats to pull people ashore.

Then, on each fishing boat in the middle of the sea, a few people were left to watch over the luggage and cargo.

After they were assigned and went ashore, some of the fishermen on the shore suddenly realized what was going on.

Ye Yaodong's face is still very recognizable.

There is no such handsome and fair fisherman!

"Ah... it's him. I know the tall and thin one..."

"These guys came here to catch jellyfish in the summer, why are they here again in winter?"

"There are so many ships. What's going on?"

Someone waved at Ye Yaodong curiously, "Hey, hey, hey? Comrade, where did you come from? Are you here again?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and explained to them, "We came from Zhoushi Fishery and planned to go home for the New Year. We drove for too long and passed by here. When we saw that it was getting dark, we stopped here to rest and leave the next day or the day after tomorrow."

"I see... I was wondering why you guys came back after leaving. Why are you here in the middle of winter? Turns out you're here to rest..."

"Well, I'll go find a tractor first. It'll be gone if I'm too late."

Ye Yaodong hurriedly went to find a tractor nearby. Fortunately, they docked not too late and there was still a car available. Otherwise, it would take more than an hour to walk to his house.

However, his house cannot accommodate more than 200 people.

After finding the tractor, they discussed it again and decided that those who could sleep on the boat should sleep on the boat first and deal with the night first.

Ye Yaodong had a lot of people and goods under his control, so he simply arranged for the workers to sleep on the boat, and then some of his cousins ​​who were relatives followed him home.

Others could only let their captain arrange for them to stay in a guesthouse.

When the dozens of small fishing boats knew they had to go ashore for the night, they actually breathed a sigh of relief. The small boats were not as big as their big boats, and they had a place to lie down and rest, and they could also block the wind.

After everything was allocated, those who followed him back got on the tractor, and the others decided to find another tractor to go to the guesthouse.

Seeing him leading his men onto the tractor and driving away, the people who were still looking for the tractor on the spot were extremely envious.

I feel that it is better to follow Ye Yaodong. Everything is arranged properly. I don’t need to be exposed to the wind. I can rest as soon as I get ashore...

And they were still looking for a car in the wind.

The people who were redistributed onto the boat continued to return to the sea after the car left.

There is nothing wrong with sleeping directly on the boat for the boatmen, as it saves them the trouble of running around.

Ye Yaodong led a car full of people and endured the wind and dust all the way before finally arriving at the house in Vancouver.

It was pitch black all around, without any light at all. In the middle of winter, everyone went to bed early after dinner.

He used the key to open the door and let everyone in. The noise woke up the twins. They thought they were being robbed, so they rushed out with sticks in their hands without even putting on their clothes.

"Ah, oh my god, why are you here? Brother Dong, why are you here suddenly?"

"I was so scared that I thought I was robbed."

"What kind of thief dares to make such a big move?"

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he assigned rooms and asked everyone to stay there for one night, and then he looked at the twins.

"You two should pack your bags. When I go back, I will take you back with me so that you don't have to miss the New Year."

"Are you going to take a break for the New Year so soon? I thought you would come to settle the accounts at the end of the year and take us back with you."

"It's Laba, and the Chinese New Year is only about 20 days away. Go home and have a rest early. You haven't been home for more than half a year."

The two brothers were very happy. Suddenly, a surprise came out of the blue and they could go home immediately.

"Okay, we'll pack up right away."

"No hurry, I have things to do tomorrow, so it won't be that quick, I probably have to go back the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Ok."

While they were talking, Ye's father had already gone to the kitchen.

By the time everyone settled down, ate and lay down, it was already very late at night.

When Ye Yaodong got off the ship, he did not take the gifts with him. He locked them in the warehouse. So he got up early in the morning, packed himself up, and went back to the dock.

He sorted out the gifts for Zeng Weimin, Fang Jingfu and his brother into three separate packages, tied them onto his bicycle, and took them home first. After distributing them all, he went to deliver the gifts to each person one by one.

Zeng Weimin was the first to be delivered. He also thanked the person in particular and bowed deeply to him.

When I first arrived in Zhou City, I didn't understand the chaos there and almost got into trouble. I was even taken to the Coast Guard. Fortunately, with the help of Director Zeng, everyone was safe.

Although I thanked you over the phone, it is not as sincere as thanking you in person.

I was far away before and couldn't come to your house, but now that I'm here, I must say a few words and express my gratitude again.

We chatted a little more by the way. Although the Zhou City is very chaotic, there are also many gains. Risks are accompanied by opportunities.

Zeng Weimin also kept looking at him with a smile. In his heart, he admired this young man very much. He was daring and daring, and he led the whole village's strong laborers to gain a foothold in such a chaotic place. He also made money and returned safely. He also praised him a few words and expressed his appreciation.

Ye Yaodong didn't stay long as the other person was still at work, so he left after chatting.

At this time, a group of people were already standing in his house. They were all those who stayed in the guesthouse last night, as well as Zhou Da Guang who lived on the boat. After they got up, they all came to his side.

They have been waiting for a long time, asking when they can go back today. After a night's rest, everyone is rested enough and full of energy, and can't wait to go back immediately.

Ye's father couldn't answer, so he could only sit with them and wait for Ye Yaodong to come back.

As soon as he walked in, everyone stood up.

"Hey? Now that you're all here, have you had breakfast?"

"We've eaten. We just wanted to ask you, when are you leaving? It's already past 9 o'clock, and it will be evening when we get home." Someone asked anxiously.

"I can't leave today. I still have some unfinished business. The earliest I can leave is tonight or tomorrow. If you want to go back right away, you can leave now. I also said in advance that I need to do some work here and I will have to stay for at least a day. You can discuss it with each other and those who want to leave can leave together first."

"Tomorrow? That can't wait. So we should go back early, right?"

"Then the boats that need to go back can go first. You can discuss it among yourselves. I have to go out again."

He also wanted to go back earlier, but things had to be done first, so he let the others go first. It would be a waste of time for them to wait for him here.

There was no way for them to dock last night. The small boat was not as big as the big ship, and they had to go ashore to rest on such a cold winter night.

The weather is clear today and the sun is high in the sky, which is perfect for continuing our journey home.

Ye Yaodong prepared the second batch of gifts and sent them to Fang Jingfu and his elder brother.

His brother was at home, but Fang Jingfu was not at home. He was at the factory. After putting down his things, he exchanged a few words of greeting and went straight back to the factory.

As a result, he found no one in the office again, so he could only look for him in the production workshop, assembly room, and warehouse. Finally, he found someone in the design room.

"Boss Fang! Damn, you're such a busy guy! It took me so long to find you."

Fang Jinfu was discussing the drawings with the designer with his head down. When he heard someone calling him, he immediately looked up.

"Ah? Hey? Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you call in advance to let me know? I thought you wouldn't come until the end of the year."

As he spoke, he put down his pen and walked towards Ye Yaodong.

"I was afraid that the weather would not be good enough to come back near the end of the year, so I would have to spend the New Year away from home. So I came back early while the weather was good."

"Let's go to the office and talk."

The two talked as they walked, asking each other about their recent situation.

After entering the office, Ye Yaodong sat down and said, "It takes too long to drive home, so I decided to dock here to rest for a night, and I came here to give the New Year gift on the way."

"They are some local specialties of Zhou City, as well as cigarettes and alcohol. I just went to your house and put them down. There is also a portion for your brother."

Fang Jingfu smiled and said, "It's only the beginning of the month and you're already sending me New Year gifts..."

"It's convenient now, so I don't have to come here before the New Year. It's too much trouble. I still have a lot of work to do when I go home. There are still a lot of accounts to settle at home in the past six months. You may still be busy for several days without any rest."

"You've been away for more than half a year, and you have a big family and a lot of wealth."

"Ahahahaha, how can I compare to you, you have made this factory so successful, is the performance going well in the second half of the year?"

"It's OK. I can see the benefits now. I spent all my money in the first half of the year. I spent less in the second half of the year. But now it's the twelfth lunar month. I have to take care of a lot of expenses as the year draws to a close."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's for sure. During the New Year and other festivals, we have to show favor to everyone."

"Since you're here today, I should actually check your accounts first. However, the goods have been shipped out, and some of the accounts have not been collected yet. The finance department didn't notify you in advance, and they haven't calculated the accounts yet. How about you stay a few more days?"

"I can't stay here. I can only stay here for one day. I have to go back tomorrow night or early morning."

"Why are you in such a hurry? We're already here."

"I have to hurry back. I wish I could grow wings and get home directly. And I'm not the only one here. There are more than 200 people on this trip. Some of them may be impatient and want to go back first, but some will have to wait for me to go back together. We can't delay for too many days."

"You're in too much of a hurry, aren't you? Then you can only come back before the New Year. It takes time to have someone do the accounting in advance. It won't be done in one or two days. The accountants are paid by piece, so there's a lot of work to do all day long."

"Then there's nothing we can do. We'll have to wait until the time comes. When the finance department has calculated this year's profits and the accounts are out, you can call me again."

It was true that he did not call to inform in advance, and he came back only because he saw that the weather was good today and he could go out to sea.

Nowadays, the weather forecast is not that accurate, and he has no control over when to go back. If he goes too early, it will be too early to settle the accounts, so he seems too anxious.

It is customary to settle accounts and close work at the end of the year before the New Year. It is indeed not the time yet, and it will take quite some time to collect payment.

After Fang Jingfu said that, he could understand.

"Then wait until the end of the year to settle the accounts. I will call you in advance and you can come and stay for two days. We can check the accounts and then go out to meet the leaders together."

"Then we'll talk about it then."

If he can't come before the New Year, he will come after the New Year. He can't run away anyway.

The two of them sat and chatted for a while before Ye Yaodong followed him to visit and listen to the introduction and current developments.

We also talked about Linji, who was introduced by him, and the overseas Chinese who called him and regretted that lighters were difficult to transport.

Fang Jingfu also regretted the inconvenient roads. Vancouver is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, so land transportation is difficult and the only option is water transportation.

So at that time, he asked Lin Ji to take the boat to bring back his 5 goods.

It was Lin Jishang that gave Fang Jingfu inspiration, allowing him to reconnect with the overseas Chinese he had regretted before.

The three parties were able to reach an agreement. Lin Ji was the middleman for purchasing and transportation. According to the quantity required by the overseas Chinese, he would purchase goods from Fang Jinfu, and then transport them to the provincial capital of Fujian Province and hand them over to the overseas Chinese.

Of course, the overseas Chinese must first pay a deposit and sign a contract before he can do the job.

These goods are also resold in Linji, so you can make some extra money while you can.

As there are more and more boats traveling between the two places in Linji, there are more resellers now, and they also purchase leather shoes from Vancouver and resell them to overseas Chinese.

This was something Ye Yaodong had never thought of.

It was totally beyond his expectations.

I heard that he ran to the north before, but I didn’t expect him to come back?

Isn't his model a typical foreign trade company? He is responsible for helping customers purchase, or taking customers to purchase, and then placing orders and delivering to designated places.

Ye Yaodong only got a general idea from Fang Jingfu. Fang Jingfu actually didn't know much either, he only knew a little.

However, this was enough to surprise him. He had been away from home for most of the year, but he didn't expect that they could use him as a link to connect this group of people?
It turns out that the network of relationships is the greatest wealth. Even if people have nothing to do with each other, by introducing each other, they can become a line of wealth.

After all, business is too good these days and there is a shortage of everything.

I have to let Lin Ji thank him properly when I go back this time.

He followed Fang Jingfu around the factory and found that there were many changes in the past six months. After getting a general understanding of the situation, he decided to go back.

Fang Jingfu invited him to have lunch but he refused. He wanted to go back and see if everyone else had left.
If not, we can go back together.

Since the account couldn't be settled in the short term, he had no other reason to stay any longer.

"You're in too much of a hurry. I wanted to buy some local specialties for you to take away..."

"No need, what specialties? I've been here quite often, I'll come next time. This time I just happened to be docked at the port, and I brought a lot of specialties from Zhou City. I thought I should take advantage of the time before the New Year to visit Director Zeng and come take a look."

"Then wait until next time. Come over and stay a few more days next time."

Ye Yaodong casually agreed and rode his bike back quickly.

At home, Ye's father and the others had finished their meal, and saw that he had come back so soon.

"Didn't you have lunch with your friends? I thought you were out at that time and wouldn't be back for lunch."

"It's too last minute, so we can't settle the accounts. Come back next time. Has everyone else left? How many boats have left?"

"Everyone has left. Only the 21 of us are still waiting here."

"Three boats and a small boat?"

"I also asked your second brother to help the small boat to follow the main force back. Now there is only the Dongsheng, a seafood collection ship, and your ocean-going ship still at the dock. Can you leave now?"

"Yes, pack up your things and we will follow you back."

Father Ye stood up immediately and hurriedly said, "You made it so urgent..."

When the other workers heard that they could go back now, they all stood up as well. No one had anything to pack. They didn't take anything with them when they got off the ship, so they didn't need to take anything with them now.

It is also updated on time. There will be another chapter after 12 o'clock. The next chapter is home. It is not water.
