Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1299 Happy
"I don't know if she's willing to take it down. Now she's keeping a close eye on her things. She's used to being cheated by her brothers, so she's alert and knows to protect them."

"You ask her to take it off and string it again by herself, and then ask her to put it on the dog herself, and she will agree."

"You understand children."

"Isn't that what children do? They are so young, and they are at the age where they love to work actively."

Father Ye admired his necklace and ring enough and said, "I'll take the gold back first. I'll unload it later, remember."

"I know. We've already eaten. There's nothing important to do right now. When the people come, I'll take them to the sea to unload the cargo."

Ye Yaodong turned around and instructed Lin Xiuqing, "Have you prepared the workers' wages? Forget it, let's unload the goods first. I'll ask them to wait a while after unloading, so that they don't have to put them in their pockets now in case they drop them."

"That's fine. It's just a few steps away from home. Okay, you can go home and give it to them."

"Ah."

Mother Ye also smiled and said, "I still have to stop by your elder brother's house. I came here early in the morning and came to your place first. Your two sisters-in-law will have something to say later. I will go over to see them and have a few words."

Ye Yaodong responded and followed to the door to look at the tide.

Lin Xiuqing stood beside him and asked, "Wait until the tide comes in, and then bring the cargo ship in?"

"Yes, not yet. I'll do it later. It's a good time to unload the goods first. Have you opened all the sacks you brought back? The quilts inside were all bought by me. They are all new. Check to see if there are any quilt cores that need to be discarded at home. Replace them directly. The thinner mattresses are also new. These things cost a lot of money."

Ye Yaodong briefly told her about the purchase of those things, and told her not to waste them, and to replace them with new ones whenever possible, as new ones are warmer than old ones, and to dry the quilt core in the sun and use her own quilt cover.

He also mentioned that he not only bought quilts, but also bought two sets of thick clothes for each person.

The clothes were given to them, and the quilts were packed up and placed on the new boat so they wouldn’t be too tight and would take up space in the house.

If there are any extras, we can collect them at home first and put them on other boats later. They can always be used.

"These things are not small expenses. When I was sorting them this morning, I saw so many quilts. It took me a long time to take them apart and wash them. There was no place to dry them. I could only pull a few more ropes and hang them in the open space next to me."

"There's nothing I can do. I went out in the summer and now it's winter. I have to be responsible for the people I brought out."

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that I wouldn't be back until almost the New Year. You're really something. You keep changing places as you say, and you have one idea after another."

"Opportunities are rare and can never come back. I can't go out and come back without making any money, right? I'm willing to do that, but no one else is. Anyway, we're still in Zhejiang Province anyway."

"You made a lot of money. You remitted tens of thousands of yuan."

"Yes, I did make some money, but how could others make as much as I did? I made money because I had a lot of fishing boats and accumulated some. They took half of it from me and they had to cover the expenses. I really didn't make much money, otherwise why would I want to go to Zhoushi Fishery to gamble."

"Forget it, there's no point talking about this. Anyway, I sorted out the things you brought back this morning. I categorized all the specialties. It's the end of the year so I can give them out as gifts."

"Yes, you can make the arrangements. You need to arrange for a few village cadres, and you need to prepare a heavier gift for my godfather. After I finish my work at home, I will go to the city to deliver it to him and take a look at the factory. Have you been to the city often in the past six months?"

"Yes, I go there about twice a month to check the bills and collect the money from the store. I also visit my godparents and tell them about your recent situation."

"That's good."

He would occasionally call to say hello, but because of the long distance and the fact that he was on the phone, there wasn't much to talk about, so he just greeted her and briefly talked about his recent situation, and all he said was good things.

"I just came back and I don't know the situation of the fish sauce being produced at the factory. Is it being packaged and produced every day now?"

"Yes, it's going very smoothly. It will be filtered out in due time. It's just a machine. The city will start producing it in the second half of the year. I asked someone to move the machine to the city first, and then transferred two people to the city to be responsible for bagging fish sauce. I still have some stock at home..."

Seeing that the workers had all reached the door, Ye Yaodong stopped her from talking.

"We'll talk about it in detail when we have time. I'll take some people to deal with the cargo on the ship first."

"Okay, I'll prepare the wages first. You can come and get them after you unload the goods. I haven't sorted out the money you brought back yesterday."

"Well, the account book is all recorded. Take a look first and see if you can understand it. If you can't understand it, wait until I come back and I will explain it to you in detail. By the way, I will also tell you about the above things."

"You go ahead and do your thing first."

Ye Yaodong nodded and strode out. The dog in the yard also moved swiftly and followed him.

As soon as he stepped out of the yard, he saw Ye Xiaoxi jumping and skipping with a group of children beside the workshop, with several dogs surrounding them.

The dogs beside him also saw it and ran quickly to get there before him.

When he got closer, he heard a tinkling sound. The bells around the neck moved slightly, and there was a lot of noise. Didn't the child think it was noisy?
"…This was bought by my father, this is also bought by my father, this is also bought by my father, all of them were bought by my father…"

"Is it beautiful? I have many, many... do you have any?"

A child said: "Of course, my dad is so nice..."

"My dad is the best!"

"My dad is the best!"

Ye Xiaoxi said loudly: "My dad is the best! The best!"

"My dad is the best!"

"No, my dad is the best in the village!"

Ye Yaodong's face broke into laughter when he heard this. The children shouted louder than each other, as if whoever shouted the loudest had the best father!

Ye Xiaoxi even jumped up and shouted after a while, as if she was afraid that she wasn't shouting hard enough.

He walked over and touched her head with a smile, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Because you are the best! Their fathers are definitely not as good as you."

"Didn't you tell me I failed last night?"

Ye Xiaoxi hugged his thighs and smiled, showing two rows of teeth, "Now I have 100 points. When I woke up, I saw a lot of toys and delicious food."

"Take off the bell around your neck. It's making so much noise."

"No!" She held it tightly, "Beautiful, I want it."

"This bell is almost bigger than your mouth. Why do you string such a bunch of them together and hang them around your neck? What does it look like?"

"I want it."

As she spoke she kept jumping and shaking, and she thought the sound was very pleasant and sounded very lively.

"Alright, alright, this gives me a headache. This is a gift I bought for the dog, a dog and a bell. You have so many gifts, including a necklace, but the dog has nothing. You even took up their bell. Aren't they pitiful?"

Ye Xiaoxi lowered her head and touched the bell necklace she had made, feeling a little reluctant to part with it. This was the necklace she had made for herself, it was so beautiful and nice to listen to.

"Can you take down the bell, get a few more red ropes, string a bell on each rope, and tie it around the dog's neck? And then keep one for yourself, the same as the dog's?"

Her eyes lit up, "I'll string one for myself and one for my dog, and we'll wear the same one."

"Yes, that's right."

"Okay, okay, I'll go find mom. I want to string lots and lots of necklaces..."

He knew that the key point was to let her string it together on her own!
Ye Yaodong smiled as he watched her jumping and skipping, calling for her mother as she ran, her whole body making clanging noises. He shook his head with a smile and went back to the workshop.

The first few workers who arrived were standing at the door of the workshop chatting. Seeing that everyone had not arrived yet, he decided to go into the workshop and take a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped in, she saw his mother walking towards her with a big smile on her face.

The sleeves were rolled up high on the wrists, with a large gold bracelet hanging on the wrist, and one hand was constantly stroking it, which made it particularly conspicuous.

"Mom? Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to stand at the eldest and second brothers' houses?"

Mother Ye smiled, "Your elder brother and second brother went out to the village to deliver wages to the workers, and your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are in the workshop, so I came over to stay for a while and have a few words."

"Is there anything I can praise? I feel happy from the inside out."

"Haha, everyone is so talkative. They asked me how much one penny cost and how much I bought in total. I told them that one penny cost about 200 yuan, but here it costs several thousand yuan."

"It's too little, mother. One penny costs more than two hundred."

"Ah? You said too little?"

Mother Ye slapped her thigh and said, "Then I'll have to say more when we get out! I can't say less."

"Go, go. If you don't come back, my father has hidden all the gold."

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to go back and see where he is hiding... I was wondering why he left so fast just now..."

Ye's mother hurried out again in a hurry.

Ye Yaodong walked inside. There were still women killing fish in the workshop, but today's headlines were all about Ye's mother's gold, which simply blinded their eyes and shocked them for the whole year.

"That gold is so beautiful...it makes my mouth water."

"...Dongzi, you are really promising. If you give birth to a good son, you won't have to worry about your life anymore. You can also gain face. Look at how prosperous Lixiang has been in the past few years."

"If I could have a son like Adong, I would wake up with a smile even when I close my eyes."

"Don't even mention the big necklace and the big gold bracelet. I can't even bear to part with the small earrings. That little bit must cost one or two hundred, right?"

"Their family has really become rich, very rich, and when they shake, it's really amazing..."

Ye Yaodong found their chats interesting. It had been a while since he heard these women gossiping. The atmosphere was good today.

"Ah? Adong is here?"

"Oh! Our big boss is here, awesome..."

"Adong, I heard you made a fortune there? You own more than 10 or 20 boats, and you've made a lot of money?"

"Didn't we buy an imported cargo ship? It costs hundreds of thousands!"

"More than that. Not only did he buy a boat worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but I heard he ordered multiple boats of the same model..."

"Oh my goodness... hundreds of thousands for one... several of them? How much do they cost? I can't even count, millions? Oh my God..." The woman next to her was dumbfounded.

"No way? Who told me that?"

Ye Yaodong himself was shocked when he heard this. How could a ship worth 10 yuan be inflated to hundreds of thousands?

Clearly, 4 of the booked fishing boats were copies of the Dongsheng, so how come they were all rumored to be Yuanyang No. 1?
My goodness...it's only morning...

"Everyone says so, so just admit it. Don't be so modest. You've given us a lot of face..."

"...Exactly. Our village now has dozens of millionaires. We are well-known in the surrounding area..."

"Isn't it? Some fathers and sons work together to earn money, saving all the wages. Those who were too poor to marry before, now have people coming to their door early this morning to introduce them to potential partners. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

"You are really capable. It's a pity that you are already married. Why didn't I see how capable you are before? I was really blind."

"Haha, you're really blind. Look, if Ah Dong is a little serious, the whole village will benefit from it."

"They say some men grow slowly, and it turns out to be true."

……

Ye Yaodong looked at them with both laughter and tears, and was too lazy to explain. It was useless anyway. The masses would only listen to what they wanted to hear. It didn't matter whether it was true or not.

He followed their words and started looking around as well.

These women had a clear division of labor. They gathered in groups here and there, chatting about what they did when they came back at night.

The air was filled with the scent of festivity, and the cold and lonely village suddenly came alive.

I have a headache. I will make up another chapter tomorrow.
