Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1409 Begging Him to Spend Money

"Digging a cellar..."

Ye Yaodong repeated it several times before shaking his head.

"No, we will definitely be able to tell our neighbors about our cellar excavation. Then everyone will know that we have a cellar. We have buried a lot of treasures in our yard, so we don't want to lose more than we gain."

There was a well-known cellar, and everyone could not help but think that he hid good things in the cellar.

"forget about it……"

"If you really think you have too much money, I'm thinking of signing up with the village and buying a big truck."

"what?"

"It's quite necessary. Now whenever I go out to sea, I bring back hundreds of tons of cargo every day or every other day, and then I deliver them to the various bosses. What I need most now is a large truck."

This was something he had thought about a long time ago. He didn't have a big car, and it would be too inconvenient to rent a car to deliver the goods every day.

If he could drive a truck himself, truck drivers would be hard to find, and he didn't have the time to learn, otherwise he would have bought it long ago.

Lin Xiuqing thought about it and felt that it was necessary.

We have already bought so many boats at home, so we don’t need a big car.

"It's okay to buy it, and you can ask the village to write a certificate to register it with the village, but who will drive it? You don't know how to drive. It takes more than a few days to learn how to drive a big truck. Do you have time?"

"Please inquire more. Otherwise, there is no other way. We can only buy a car and register it with the village unit, and then arrange for someone to go and study."

It's not just about learning how to drive, you also have to learn how to repair and maintain machinery, and you also have to pass an exam and get a trainee certificate.

This is a long process. It will take more than one or two years to get the approval of the master. If you want to get an internship certificate, you need the master's signature.

It was not until the 90s that formal driving schools and formal and systematic teaching were available. Now, learning to drive is a long and difficult process.

Otherwise why did he take so long? He only bought a tractor and he was not short of money.

Now there is no other way but to buy one. If you can’t find someone to drive, you can only send someone to learn. But the car must be bought first, and only units that have cars can apply to arrange unified learning.

"Okay, you decide. As long as it's worth spending, just buy it," Lin Xiuqing whispered, "I have more and more cash. I have a headache hiding the money every day, and I'm worried that it will get damp and moldy."

Ye Yaodong gave her a look and said, "See, you were reluctant to buy the boat before because you thought he had too big an appetite and bought too much at once. But now you think he has too much cash."

Lin Xiuqing felt a little embarrassed, so she put down the sack in her hand, walked over to him and massaged his shoulders.

"Who could have predicted the future? If someone had told me six years ago that our family would have a million in six years, I would have thought he was sick, and seriously ill."

Ye Yaodong also felt melancholy for a moment. He didn’t expect that 6 years had passed in a flash. It was quite fast. It was 1988 already?

"At the rate you're making money now, our family's income will double next year."

"More than that, we plan to go there to earn money after the 15th day of the Lantern Festival."

Lin Xiuqing was surprised for a moment, "You're going up there after the Chinese New Year? You're not staying at home for the first half of the year?"

"It should be. There are more fisheries, factories, merchants, and sales channels up there. It's easier to make money, so everyone in the village prefers to go up there. Besides, Guang, Zheng, and Xiaoxiao just bought three more boats, and they still owe the bank a loan. They're eager to make money, so they all want to go up there."

"I have a freshwater ship, and I have to follow them to collect the goods and make money, so if they all go up, I have to follow them to collect the goods."

She frowned, "It's fine for you to go up and collect the goods and make money, but I have to take care of the family by myself, and there's also the town..."

"Aren't you managing your time well now? You take care of the family in the morning, go to the factory in town in the afternoon, and go to the city to check the accounts every week."

Lin Xiuqing also knew that his life outside was not any easier than hers at home. It was just as difficult. After all, there were so many people, so many ships to manage, and so much cargo to ship out. Moreover, the competition outside was fierce, and he had to do many things himself.

"What about later? You're going to go up there and wait until the New Year to come back?"

The old lady was surprised. "Ah? You're coming back for the New Year? You can't be gone for a whole year. This family..."

"It's not like I won't come back. Dad will take care of the new people for a while, and then hand the work over to someone else. Then I'll take turns coming back with him. If I have time, I'll come back and stay for a month or so."

"That's fine, have you discussed it?"

"There was no discussion. When we were talking, most people said they would come up after the New Year, but if they went up, they would definitely have to follow the big ship."

Ye Yaodong felt that the water was getting cold, so he dried his feet, put on his slippers, opened the lid of the pot, and filled his stomach with rice dumplings.

Then I listened to the two women's nagging about how I couldn't stay there all the time.

He just nodded and continued eating. Anyway, he was informed of the three important matters.

The old lady saw him eat five in one go and wanted to eat more, so she quickly stopped him, "Don't eat too much, this is made of glutinous rice, it's hard to digest if you eat too much."

"Ah."

"It's already the middle of the night, both of you should go back to sleep. We can talk about anything after you wake up. Do you want to bring the child over to sleep with me?"

"No, it's late at night, and she'll easily catch a cold if you hold her around. Just let her sleep in the room."

Ye Yaodong wiped his sticky hands, picked up the sack and went into the house.

When Lin Xiuqing was about to turn off the lights, the old lady waved her hand and urged her to go, "You go too, you go too, I'll turn off the lights here."

Ye Yaodong stuffed the sack under the bed and said, "We'll count it tomorrow. It's too late to count so much money in a short time. It's too late now. Let's go to bed early."

"I'll sort it out when I wake up tomorrow."

She hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Did you check the money you deposited in Zhou City frequently in the past few months?"

"I checked twice, and it's there."

"Should I take some money and put it in the bank?"

"How much do you plan to save? If you save too little, I don't think it's necessary. If you save too much, I guess you won't feel at ease, right?"

“So I’m hesitating.”

They have too much money, now over a million, and she feels that saving 10 is a bit meaningless.

Now I really want to ask him to spend more money. It’s too much. I can’t even sleep well…

"Is there anything else you want to do?" Lin Xiuqing asked him in a flattering manner.

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at her fiercely, then threw back the quilt and lay down, kissing the child before speaking.

"I just ordered three super-large ships, and the delivery date is scheduled for three years. I also spent nearly 10 yuan to build three acres of land. Now I plan to buy a large truck. What else do you want me to buy?"

"Take it for two or three years. If you don't have a place to put it, use a water jar. I'll go dig a big hole in the yard these two nights, and we'll bury the water jar underground."

She hesitated, "Can I do it?"

"It's much better than your cellar idea. At least digging a big hole makes less noise. I can finish it in one night. Look at your cellar. How much effort does it take?"

"Well, it feels like we are like moles, hiding everything underground."

"That can't be helped. I'm just lucky."

"Otherwise, you'll go buy some land?"

“Buy more land?”

Lin Xiuqing nodded. "Even if you set up another factory, we won't be able to handle it. We already have several workshops. Now I have enough to do."

"You also said that you have already ordered three more ships. If you want to order more, the factory will definitely not accept the order. It is impossible for us to fill up all their orders."

"After thinking about it, I think buying land is the best option. I can't think of what to do with it now. Since we have land, we can use it for whatever we want whenever we want."

"It's better than having to worry about keeping a lot of money in your hands. It's better to exchange it for land. Didn't you say that money will depreciate in the future? But land won't depreciate, right?"

Ye Yaodong looked relieved, and finally begged him to spend money.

Things really are changing.

"Buy! Let's buy land! Let me rest for a while, and then we can gather the money in the house. I will go to the city to visit my godfather in two days, and then look around for land. I will buy as much land as I can."

I am most familiar with my own city and have a strong backing, so it is most reassuring to buy things in my own city.

I'll wait and see in a couple of days and buy a few pieces of wasteland or forest land if I can.

It's rare that his wife is so sensible and begs him to spend money, so of course he can't let her down.

"Buy it in our city?"

"Where else do you want to buy? In Beijing? Although it's not too unaffordable..."

"You're thinking too much, Beijing. You really dare to think about it. You've never been to Beijing in your life."

"You're only 30, is this your whole life? I'll take you there in a few years!"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, took off her coat, and lay down next to him. "Come on, you always say you'll take me here and there. Are you free? Even if you are free, I am not. Let's go to sleep."

Ye Yaodong hugged her and said, "It will happen. How hard can it be?"

"It takes several days and nights to get to BJ by train from here. How dare you say that?"

That's true.

"I meant later."

"You should focus on the present. Go to the village tomorrow and ask what kind of certificate you need to get to buy a truck."

"understood."

"Why don't you build something on the five mu of land you just bought? Build a dormitory building? Didn't you say there are a lot of outsiders living there? Wouldn't it be easy to collect rent if we build it?"

"You're smart now. You know how to draw inferences from one example."

"Really? Just build it after the year. At least we can collect some rent every year. Didn't you say that the prices up there are rising very fast? We'll get our money back in a few years. The rent for the vacant land we just built is over 2..."

"That's because our villagers moved in and directly occupied the place without having to rent it. The land we just bought is still considered suburban now, so we have to wait for two years."

In two years, when it's the 90s, it should be about the same.

"Well, you are familiar with it."

"When I go up there again after the New Year, I'll look at the shops over there and buy a few. A seafood trading city has just been built over there. I've been eyeing this for a long time."

"Okay, you can spend the money as you wish. Otherwise, our family is always making money and we have nowhere to put it. I'm really worried about it."

"Uh-huh."

Happy New Year everyone. There were fireworks all night long. It was too noisy. I couldn't write at all.
