Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1360 Smart
Ye Yaodong calculated it himself and felt that it seemed a bit too much.

With tens of thousands of dollars coming and going every day, I start to feel that making money is easy.

This is similar to the billions being exchanged on the Internet. In reality, some people have begun to feel that tens of thousands of dollars are not a lot of money, but in fact, these people are still earning three to five thousand dollars a month.

He looked at Weiling again and calculated it at 1 yuan.

If a person earns 600 yuan a year and does not eat or drink, it will take him 1 years to earn 16.7 yuan...

And a family of four would have to go without food or drink for more than four years...

If you add in the cost of food, drink and spending, it would be good if you can save enough in 10 years.

Lin Xiuqing stood by and watched him calculate.

"Look, if you do the math yourself, don't you think the number is huge? What's more, if you donate such a large sum of money, can you donate less than this next time? They will only think you are rich and ask you to donate more."

Ye Yaodong didn't dare to say anything and turned off the calculator.

"You still don't believe me if you don't run a household. You only see the money coming in, not the money going out. All the money going out is paid by me."

"Then I also have some..."

"What are you paying for? You call that paying for your 20 yuan loan? It's from the bank, so you must feel bad when you spend it."

"cough……"

"We are from the countryside. Although everyone knows that we have money, we can just donate as a token of our appreciation. Now we rely on collective strength. Who will be the first to step forward? Think with your butt..."

"What you said..."

"Did I said wrong thing?"

Ye Yaodong was speechless after hearing her retort. If he had known, he would not have used the calculator in front of her. This only encouraged her arrogance and he felt a little guilty listening to it.

"Recently, it cost several thousand to install telephone lines, 3 to build a house, 3 to build a factory in town, and another 3 to make squid strips. Recently, we have spent tens of thousands of dollars. Now, the joint donations are all worth tens of thousands. Do you know how much money you have spent recently?"

He suddenly felt guilty.

"You just handled too much money. You only saw what you got back, and you started to treat the money as less of a spend."

"No……"

"No, they just ask for 3 or 5 yuan. Building houses, factories, workshops, buying machines, laying telephone lines, these are all justifiable, but who will remember your kindness when you donate? They will just remember that you have money and come back to you next time."

Ye Yaodong remained silent.

"You have the mentality of a poor man who has suddenly become rich. You have money but don't know how to spend it, so you want to squander it. And the flattery of people around you makes you get carried away."

"How could you say that about your man?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Ye Yaodong crossed his feet and lowered his head to think.

It seems that he does have the mentality of a lower-class person who wants to deceive the rich, and then he keeps suppressing it and reminding himself not to get arrogant. But who the hell says he is really rich? Sometimes he really can't hold on.

"It's just a one-time event, there's no need to spend so much money. Save the money, and if there's anything in the village that needs donations in the future, we can donate actively. Isn't that more meaningful?"

"After all, the money is spent in our own village to make our village better. Can the money you donate now be spent on your own village or Mazu? It's all spent on activities."

This is true...

The village will definitely need to build roads, and the shore will definitely need to have dams built...

"There are many places to donate money in the future. Why not save the money and donate it in batches? You can also show up many times. Otherwise, how much money will you have to pay in the future?"

"Okay, okay, okay, you are right. I will listen to you."

"Do you understand how to listen to me now?"

"Yes, yes, you are my good wife. I listen to you. You are the boss of our family. I make all the decisions for you. You have the final say. Whatever you say is what it is. I pay as much as you say. If you tell me to go east, I will go east. If you tell me to go west, I will go west..."

Ye Yaodong spoke in a strange tone.

Lin Xiuqing felt relieved instantly.

"Then you can just tell Secretary Chen tomorrow that you want to donate 5000 yuan."

"What? Didn't you just say 1?"

"Just now, who told you to say so much? Donate less. Who knows where the donations will go."

A little clear...

"Before donating, we had to cry about our poverty, but finally gritted our teeth and donated 5000 yuan for the sake of our village to show off in front of the people of the whole county. We also talked about our difficulties, our faith in Mazu, and our feelings for the village. We also took another 1000 yuan to use for the daily maintenance and repair of the Tianhou Temple in the village. Isn't this better? Our village will also benefit."

"Oh my, this is incredible. You are like Zhuge Liang in the world. You are calculating with your abacus. You are really good at calculating. You are definitely a behind-the-scenes military strategist. You have calculated everything for you."

"Humph."

Ye Yaodong suddenly admired his wife. When did she become so powerful?
How did this person grow so fast?
This is so exquisite!

You are so calculating!

He immediately stood up, sat down, pressed her shoulders, and massaged her shoulders.

"Wife, you are my think tank. I will listen to you in everything from now on. You need to analyze everything the village needs to do."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and slapped his hand, "I'm afraid you won't tell me anything, and will act without my permission. That will piss me off to death."

"No, no."

"So it's settled. Do what I say. This is a good opportunity for you to wake up. Don't think that you can make money easily now and don't take it seriously. We can't afford to suffer a few more setbacks."

"understand!"

"You've been away for quite a while. You just came back today. The day after tomorrow you'll go out on a fresh-water ship to collect some goods. Bring some goods back to your godfather and tell him that you're not home during this time."

"know."

"How many days have you not showered?"

This topic jumps a bit quickly.

Ye Yaodong raised his arm and sniffed, "Does it stink?"

"It's almost tasty, what do you think?"

"Just..." He counted on his fingers.

I had no clothes to change or wash the day before I came back, so I stayed in the city that night, plus today.

"I'll go wash it now, you bring me some clean clothes."

"Where do you have clean clothes? Didn't I bring them all to you?"

"Then I won't wear it. It's hot anyway, and the child doesn't sleep with me, so you're the only one who can see it." Ye Yaodong winked at her, "I'll show it to you."

Lin Xiuqing didn't respond to his glances. "You know it's hot now, and the marinade has absorbed the flavor. It's a relief that you can hold back. No wonder your son said his hands were going to rot when he touched your socks."

"What's that? It's normal to not wash for ten days or half a month at sea."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him and went to get him some water.

After taking a shower, Ye Yaodong was really naked. He stayed in the room and didn't go out. It was already night anyway.

Seeing him shamelessly hanging around in front of her, Lin Xiuqing immediately put his dirty clothes into the washing machine to wash, then drained them and hung them up overnight so that they could be worn the next morning.

The next morning, Secretary Chen came to the door as expected, very promptly.

Ye Yaodong followed the same rhetoric Ah Qing had said yesterday, and he pretended to be poor again, then gritted his teeth and finally donated only 1000 to the Tianhou Temple in the village.

This finally made Secretary Chen very happy. He felt that the boy had not forgotten his roots and had not left out his own village when donating money.

"Okay, okay, I said you won't forget your roots and you really care about our village."

"Of course, I can only be good if the village is good. This is my root. I certainly hope that our village will become stronger and stronger. If I hadn't wanted to reshape the golden body of our village's Mazu, make our village famous, build our reputation as a wealthy village, and let you show your face in front of the city leaders, I would definitely not be able to pay so much money. I still owe 20 yuan in bank loans. But since you can't come up, I must give you face and strongly support you."

Secretary Chen's face was full of praise. "I will definitely promote the name of our wealthy village and strive to get all the honors we deserve."

"Haha... There are quite a few young people in our village who are doing well now, and the others..."

"I've been to Ah Shang's place, but he wasn't at home. I asked his wife to tell him that since you've been so supportive, he's sure to follow your lead. And Lao Pei, and the fat guy who runs the restaurant, they all said they support the work in the village and they all said they'd donate 1000 yuan."

It turns out that everyone has a share.

Is the fat guy really a little stupid? He is really good at pretending.

Without being under the eyes of the villagers, no one knows how much money you make outside.

However, Ye Yaodong added, "It's not just them. I heard that Awei and Haozi in the village are making a lot of money outside. Last year, they were thinking about opening a factory in the village. Haozi even brought women back home, with one wife at home and one wife outside. He must have made a lot of money and could have married two. I don't have that."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, and he quickly shut up.

"Yes, I almost forgot about them. I heard that they are all making a lot of money outside. Their wives are also saying that your small workshops are nothing. I will go there later."

"Hey, I'll take you there."

After Ye Yaodong sent the man out, he said to Lin Xiuqing, "You are really smart. You found a treasure for me."

"Why do I feel like it's a pity that you only have one wife?"

"How could that be? A good wife brings less trouble to her husband. One wife is enough."

"You're here early enough."

"Just keep your eyes on me, the fat sheep."

"Be more sober next time and don't act rashly..."

"I know. I have suppressed my arrogant heart. I have been poor for so long. I have no choice but to become rich in just five years. Remember that."

"Then I'll get busy."

"Me too."

Ye Xiaoxi squatted on the ground, supporting her chin with both hands, watching her parents go out one after another. Her father didn't even see her.

She came back yesterday, but I didn’t hug her or talk to her.

She is squatting at the door now, and I can't see her. She has become her mother's follower and is only talking to her mother, so I can't see her.

"father!"

"Huh? What? What are you doing squatting here?"

Ye Xiaoxi stomped her feet and said, "Hold me!"

"alright."
