Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1359 How much is appropriate

There was nothing to do in the workshop, so Ye Yaodong talked to them, looked at the account book, and went to find his father-in-law.

The specific profits are recorded in the account book. Now there are special people to do the accounting, so he doesn't need to check with his father-in-law. He can just look at the profits, collect the accounts and go home.

Before leaving, he called home and said he would drive the tractor back immediately.

I got up and had a quick meal, and it was already past 1 o'clock. I had dinner when I got home.

Wang Guangliang has resigned from his job starting today, so I'll go back with him.

Ye Yaodong was thinking that if he quit, he would have to promote another small leader to manage this place.

When the time comes, we can promote a more stable person from the remaining people.

The workshop currently has enough manpower. There is no need to collect groceries now. We just need to go and receive the fresh goods when the ship docks. There are actually boatmen who are responsible for the transportation. When they are actually working, they are actually helping to move and lift things in the factory.

When we returned to the village, it was already dark, but the tractor was making a loud noise. As soon as the tractor drove into the village, children started jumping and shouting excitedly.

"Cheng Hu, Yang Yang, your father is back..."

"Your tractor is back again..."

"Your father is finally back, and he has a gift..."

"Dad...Dad..."

A bunch of children were running behind the tractor, and more and more of them were running.

When the weather gets hot, children run around outside even after dark without anyone supervising them.

Ye Yaodong didn't even stop for a moment, ignored them, and drove straight to the workshop. He found a good place to stop after entering the workshop.

The old lady had been sitting at the door of the workshop waiting, and finally her wait came. She walked up to the workshop with a smile on her face, leaning on her crutches.

"Finally I'm home. I thought you would come back early today."

"I overslept and didn't wake up until 12 o'clock."

"I'm exhausted after going out. Just get some more sleep. Don't worry. Just don't get too tired..."

"Ah."

"Are you hungry? There's food left for you at home. Go home and eat first..."

A group of children also chased to the door of the workshop, but couldn't get in. Only the two brothers Ye Chenghu ran in breathlessly.

"Dad, why don't you stop? I keep calling you."

"What do you want me to do?" Ye Yaodong got out of the car carrying the password box.

“Call you…Call you…”

Ye Chenghu looked around his hand and saw only a password box, no other luggage, and immediately said enthusiastically: "Dad, I'll help you carry it..."

"for you."

Ye Yaodong threw the password box in his hand to him, and Ye Chenghu hugged it excitedly, "I'll help you take it home right away."

"Brother, let me help you..."

"No, I can lift it..."

Ye Chenghu excitedly ran out with the password box, and Ye Chengyang followed closely behind him.

Ye Yaodong looked at the two brothers with a smile, but when they opened the box, there was nothing inside, which made them very angry.

He was not in a hurry to go back immediately. He walked around the workshop first. It was no different from before he left. The dryer was also working.

The old lady also kept following him around, wherever he went, muttering to herself about what he had been doing during this period of time.

Ye Yaodong just made some "hmm" and "ah" sounds in agreement, showing that he was listening.

"Dad...Dad..."

Before he could even go back, the two guys had already rushed over again.

"Dad, where are the things you bought? Are they still in the car?" Ye Chenghu said while patting his pocket.

Ye Yaodong lifted him up by his clothes and distanced them apart. "Go play somewhere else. If you continue to be disrespectful, I will hang you up and beat you."

Ye Chengyang shrank his neck and stood aside, not daring to say a word.

Ye Chenghu continued to ask stubbornly: "Did you not buy anything?"

"if not?"

Not buying me a workbook was already a kindness on his part.

Ye Chenghu's shoulders immediately slumped, "Okay."

After Ye Chengyang heard the news, he ran away immediately.

There are no gifts anymore, so who would stay here and get scolded?

Ye Yaodong loosened the shackles on Ye Chenghu and went straight home, not bothering to care about this brat.

In fact, he was too busy to go shopping or care about their trivial matters.

He is not a turtle in a wishing well who can grant whatever they want.

Lin Xiuqing had just finished packing the dirty clothes in his suitcase. There was not a single clean piece of clothing, and seven or eight pairs of socks all smelled very bad.

As soon as he walked in, he asked, "Did you not wash your clothes when you went out? You just changed them?"

Ye Yaodong said innocently: "It's not dirty. I haven't been on the ground, out to sea, or sweating. I can wear it for a few more days. I'll change it if it gets dirty."

In fact, he felt that he would be back soon, so there was no need to wash them and he could just save them and bring them back.

Plus, I was very busy afterwards and it was almost dark when I got back to the rental house, so I didn't want to do any housework.

Lin Xiuqing shook her head helplessly and put away the suitcase.

"Your son just brought back the suitcase and hurriedly asked me to open it to look for a gift. I almost suffocated him. When he was rummaging through your dirty clothes and found your stinky socks, he said his hands were going to rot."

Ye Yaodong laughed and scolded, "This stinky boy dares to look down on me."

Lin Xiuqing thought of rolling over the lakeside of Yecheng, shaking her hands twice, and rubbing them on her body a few times, feeling all kinds of disgust and wanting to laugh.

"Did you really not buy anything this time?"

"How can there be time? Who cares about them? When the time is up, they will be forced to hurry back."

"Well, don't spoil them and think you can bring them gifts every time you go out."

"That's right. I can't wait for me to go out and not stay at home. There is no place for me in this family."

"No way."

"In their minds, as long as mom is at home, it doesn't matter if dad is around or not. It's best if dad travels far away every day."

"I went to heat up some food for you, and thought you'd be back for dinner."

"Well, have you put away the money in the password box?"

"It's put away. Is it because you didn't spend all the money you brought with you, or is it because you brought back the money from the store?"

"It was money from the store. I looked through the account book and saw there was a profit, so I brought it back."

"It's quite convenient now. There are people who specialize in accounting. My father is only responsible for collecting money. He just needs to report how much money is deposited into the account that day. When it's time to settle the accounts, he just needs to look at the general ledger."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong also told her that Wang Guangliang had quit.

Then I also talked about the big and small things that happened there.

There is nothing special about it, it’s just a matter of following the procedures and arrangements.

"You haven't been able to contact Ayuan?"

"No, I don't have the time to take care of him. Besides, he doesn't have a phone number to leave, and I've moved to a new place. When the house is built in a few months, I'll go to the army's garrison to see him and visit relatives. By the way, I'll also leave him a fixed address. If he has anything in the future, he can just go to the new house to leave a message or send a letter, and he won't miss it."

"That's right. With a fixed address, it will be easier to contact you and you won't lose any information."

"We'll talk about it in the second half of the year."

"So I shouldn't go up there in the next few months, right?"

"It depends on the situation. Nothing is so absolute. Let's talk about it later. Anyway, I just got back. How long has my father been out?"

"It's been half a month. I went out to sea four or five days later than you..."

While eating, Ye Yaodong listened to Lin Xiuqing telling him about family matters. Everything was going well. He also called frequently and knew basically everything going on at home.

It's just that saying it on the phone is one thing, and saying it in person is another thing. Lin Xiuqing told him again, just to sort it out.

"I paid another 3 yuan to the fish canning factory. They said everything was almost ready and they were just waiting for the equipment to arrive. I don't know if I will have to pay more money later."

"Of course we need to. We haven't even started business yet. When we start business, we will have to pay for labor wages and advance payment for goods. From production to shipment, it's impossible to get the funds back so quickly. We will definitely have to pay a large amount of initial operating funds, which may take two or three months."

Lin Xiuqing frowned, "It's so much, and it will take so long to pay for it."

"It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, you will make money back."

"You speak so confidently, as if you have already done it once before."

Ye Yaodong: I have actually seen the fish canning factory when it was booming.

In my previous life, there were two fish canning factories in this town that were particularly famous. In the 90s, they employed thousands of workers and were said to be making a lot of money.

But I heard that it was run by wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"We'll see."

"When you come back tonight, Secretary Chen will definitely know about it, and he will probably come to your house early tomorrow morning."

"Come on, you have to donate what you need to donate. How much do you think is appropriate?"

"The most they can donate is a few thousand yuan, right? That's already a lot. I guess the whole village would donate about that much."

"How many thousand?"

That's too little.

"Two thousand dollars? What do you think?"

"It's too little. After all, it's the millennium festival of Mazu, and our village has the largest Tianhou Temple in the county. When the Mazu parade comes, they will definitely invite people from our village. It's not enough for me, the richest man in the village, to donate 2000 yuan."

"Then how much do you say?"

"2."

"What?" Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened and she stood up in surprise.

"The Mazu of our village will be the representative to parade throughout the county, so we must make a better one. I want to rebuild the golden statue of Mazu. One pound of gold costs more than 3 yuan..."

"It's all right to rebuild the golden body, but there's no need for us to pay for it. 2 yuan, what does 2 yuan mean? This year, the village didn't make 2 yuan after a year of seaweed farming..."

"Doesn't that mean I've lost half of my earnings?"

"Then is there no way to make money in your village? Can you find a way for all the villagers to make money? You are donating 2 yuan to the Mazu event now. If there are any activities in the village or county asking you to donate, how much will you donate? You don't have to do anything, just donate money there. Will you earn enough to donate?"

"The village asked me to donate money to build the village, so there is no problem with donating a little. It is also my duty to build my own village. It is all thanks to the village that we have been so successful in the past few years. If the county asked me to donate money, it must go through the village first. The village will definitely inform me first to see if I am willing. If I am not willing, the village will definitely help me deal with it, after all, I am a villager of this village."

"It's easy to say, but the officials insist on asking us to donate..."

"I'm not a pushover. I have a godfather, who is also from this county. He can't force me. The people who can force me are all wealthy people from other places, such as Taiwanese businessmen. Aren't those who were screwed in the past few years all Taiwanese businessmen?"

"But I still think 2 yuan is too much. You're not the only one donating. The important people in the county must have to pay to sponsor the event."

"There is no need to compare with others. We are sincerely donating to Mazu to rebuild her golden statue and bless her with smooth sailing in the future."

"Donate 1 yuan, otherwise it's too much. The salary of a worker is only 50 yuan. If you don't eat or drink, you can only make 600 yuan a year. It takes 2 years to earn 33 yuan. If you start working at the age of 16, you have to earn it until you are 50, and this is only if you don't eat or drink."

Ye Yaodong was confused when he heard her typing out a string of numbers.

"What 33 years, what 50 years..."

Lin Xiuqing simply took a computer and put it in front of him and did the calculation for him.

Ye Yaodong looked at the calculator and understood more intuitively how staggering the amount of 2 yuan was.

But can rich people make money at the same speed as poor people?

"Don't compare yourself to ordinary people. The fact that we can earn so much money shows that we have the ability. Think about it. I made 40 yuan in a single trip to Zhou City in the second half of last year..."

"Guaranteed profit? It's not like there's no risk. It's a guaranteed profit..."

"Then don't we still have some money to save?"

"2, 2. How many times can you afford such donations? What's more, you just counted it. The fish cannery may need tens of thousands of dollars in expenses, and you still have a loan of 20 for your fishing boat. Tell me..."

Ye Yaodong rubbed his temples. "Then let's discuss it again. Tomorrow I'll go to the town to check out the fish canning factory and talk to Hong Wenle. The millennium festival will be a big event, and the governments and village committees in various places must have been notified."

"Okay, then when Secretary Chen comes to visit, you can refuse and say you need to think about it first."

"Ah."

"You are not allowed to act first and report later."

"I know. Isn't this what I'm discussing with you?"

"Well, this time he's quite reliable. He even knew to tell me in advance and discuss it with me. He didn't just say it out loud. In the past, he always..."

"Okay, look at you, you're bringing up old issues again."

"If you feel that you have nothing to regret, why are you afraid of what I say?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at her without saying anything. He took the calculator and turned on the volume, trying to cover up her mumbling.

He was calculating how many years it would take an ordinary person to earn 2 yuan if there was no inflation.

If we assume a family of four work hard, 50 yuan a month, that's 4 yuan for four people, or 200 yuan a year. Even if they don't eat or drink, it will take a family of four 2400 years to save that much money.

But it is impossible to not eat, drink or spend money. 2 yuan is really an unattainable amount for an ordinary family of four in a lifetime.

Nowadays, we deal with money too much. If we don’t calculate it, we won’t know. Once we do, we will be shocked.

The family's money flow in and out is tens of thousands now, and the salary expenditure is several thousand or tens of thousands every month, so 2 is really a lot.

There are too few words, and I don't have enough time to write. I'll add another one around two or three o'clock.
