Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1416 Return
The couple walked home while talking, and people on the street were also talking with great interest. It was just in time to finish the show and go home to make lunch.

"I didn't buy much this morning, and I was in a hurry to go to the theater when I came back. After lunch, I'll ride my bike to town to buy some New Year gifts for you to give to others tomorrow."

"Let's go together. I can ride a motorcycle faster and can carry more. You can only carry a limited amount of things on a bicycle, so I can help carry it."

"it is good."

The couple discussed things happily, and after buying everything that day, Ye Yaodong set off on the boat with a few workers at night.

When he came back, it was already the 28th day of the lunar calendar. As soon as he got ashore, he felt that the surroundings seemed deserted.

Normally, no matter how deserted the shore is, you can still hear some noise from the village or the noise of children. Moreover, it is New Year's Day and children set off firecrackers regardless of location, so it feels very quiet today.

After asking the worker who brought them ashore in a boat, he found out that the village was in commotion again, and it was Chen Wei's house. The villagers all ran to watch the fun.

The elderly and children are no exception. They go wherever it is lively and where there are many people.

And it's not just today that the trouble has been going on, it has been going on for three days in a row.

It turned out that after the Wang family from the neighboring village took the 5000 yuan, they were worried and sent people to take turns to wait at the entrance of the village. After dark, they actually caught the escaped Chen Wei.

From then on, there were people squatting at their door 24 hours a day, and there were quarrels every day. They would quarrel for several days after he left, and they would not stop until they got the last 5000 yuan.

These days, the villagers have gotten used to squatting in front of their house with their bowls in hand, joining in the fun while eating and making a few comments with their chopsticks.

Some people were also betting on whether the Wang family in the neighboring village could get the remaining money.

The village cadres have been too lazy to move these days. With the mentality of watching the fun, they went there slowly, said a few words in a bland manner, and let the people discuss it themselves.

The neighboring village is also a natural village affiliated with their village and is also under the jurisdiction of this village, so everyone does not have an xenophobic mentality.

Everyone talked for a few words and were eager to go and watch the fun. Ye Yaodong did not stop them. He gave everyone a long holiday and let them go back home to have a good New Year.

He had seen a lively event a few days ago and now he was very tired after sailing for a long time. He just wanted to go home and rest and didn't want to join in the fun.

Walking all the way to the workshop, the floor had been cleaned and all the things that needed to be put away had been washed and put away. It looked empty and clean.

There are still puddles and mud on the roadside, it must have been washed today.

At this time, there were only two workers watching there. The others had probably gone off work or were just there to watch the fun.

"Brother Dong (boss), I'm back..."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No, no..."

He didn't stay long, just took a walk and went home.

Not surprisingly, he was greeted only by the old lady.

The old lady kept mumbling, "You just came back when the New Year is almost over. Can you rest now? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. You won't go out, right?"

"Yep."

"Ah Qing is not here. She has gone to watch the fun. The meal is already cooked. We have to wait for her to come back and cook. The village has been noisy these past two days. Every day, a lot of people gather at people's doorsteps to watch the fun. I am not very mobile, otherwise I would go and listen."

Ye Yaodong scooped a ladle of hot water to wash his hands and face, and said, "Ask my mother or Ah Qing to come back and tell you."

"Yes, if I don't talk about it one day, I have to say a few words every day when I come back. There are people talking about it at the door. I just stand at the door and I know everything."

"Then tell me about it."

"I will?"

The old lady became excited instantly.

While he was washing his hands, face and feet, I sat next to him and praised him, while also making some immoral comments.

Ye Yaodong now knew everything that had happened in the village in the past few days, and it was not much different from what he knew.

Chen Wei's escape angered the Wang family in the neighboring village. Wang Chuyun directly said that she had pooled money for Chen Wei's travel expenses to go out and earn money. This made the Wang family even more unyielding, and the remaining 5000 was directly increased to .

While the whole village was scolding the Wang family for asking for too much, they were also saying that they were shameless. After getting both the people and the money, they now have made a lot of money but they don't care about it and refuse to pay compensation.

He claims to be as capable as Ye Yaodong, but he is still stingy with only a few thousand or ten thousand dollars. At least he is better off than before and even beats his child.

People in the world tend to sympathize with the weak, even if that woman is immoral.

So they quarreled for several days over this matter.

The old lady was also cursing as she spoke, cursing both sides.

"It's a good thing you two don't have any dealings with each other, otherwise you would have to go and help, and you would have lost face."

"By the way, why don't you have any contact with him? I don't think I've seen him come to your house in the past two years."

"You guys used to knock on the windows every day. After two knocks, you ran away, like a secret signal."

Ye Yaodong felt a little embarrassed when he heard it. It seemed to be the case. Moreover, it was not knocking on the window, but throwing stones at the window frame.

You can’t blame them for being childish. Even though he got married at the age of 20, he is still a child!
“If we can’t play together, then there’s no playing together.”

"That's good. Let's not associate with this kind of people. They will lead you astray."

He responded, wiped his feet, put on cotton slippers and felt comfortable.

After a while, Lin Xiuqing also came back.

I didn’t expect that something different would be revealed today.

Lin Xiuqing excitedly said that Chen Wei saw that Secretary Chen and his colleagues were passive and lazy, and he was unwilling to pay a large sum of money, so he revealed that Wang Chuyun's son was the grandson of the village chief, and forced the Wang family to go to the village chief to ask for compensation.

This caused an uproar.

Of course the village chief did not admit it and just said that he was talking nonsense and making groundless accusations.

The villagers didn't really believe it, and they believed that he was just making it up, deliberately taking revenge, making false accusations, and diverting attention. What's more, everyone thought that the woman was fickle.

With the new big news, things became even more lively. The Wang family looked back and forth between the two sides, and they really weren't pressing that hard anymore. They even sent someone back home to inquire.

"I thought the result wouldn't come so soon, so I came back to cook. It's time for dinner, and you should be home soon. I didn't expect you to be home so early."

"I see you've been watching quite a bit of the excitement these past two days."

"Hehe, the whole village is watching their little thing. It's almost New Year, and everyone is free, so they all go over there to join in the fun."

"It's amazing. One thing led to a whole series of secrets."

Lin Xiuqing agreed deeply, "That's right, it's really messed up, and it even involves the village chief. I see he looks constipated, as if he had eaten a fly."

"Don't worry about others, hurry up and cook, I'm starving."

"How much money did they get back?"

Ye Yaodong made a 6 and said, "Only a small part of the profit will be shared. The rest will be used for production, materials and workers' wages."

Lin Xiuqing was delighted and said, "I can still get so much. I got 2 last year."

"Now that we are on the right track and shipments are stable, of course we can make more money."

"Big money!"

"Well, the money has been taken into the house. I'll count it carefully and put it away later."

"Then why don't you go to the provincial capital to order a car after the New Year?"

"Of course. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Are you asking me to go out tomorrow?"

"No, I just want to make sure you really want to buy it."

Ye Yaodong gave her a look and let her figure it out for herself.

Can this be false?
"How much does a car cost?"

"The price of the domestically produced Jiefang CA-141 is probably between 38000 and 4, right?"

Lin Xiuqing was stunned for a moment. "There are also models? You know all this? Have you asked clearly?"

"How could I not know? You think I'm your woman."

"What's wrong with the woman?"

"No, what I mean is, I'm a man, I know more about cars, and I like these mechanical things more. Of course, I know more than you, so of course I can name the model off the top of my head." Ye Yaodong said quickly with a strong desire to survive.

"That's right. I heard from Huimei that when the twins went back to their hometown, they would squat at the door every day, playing while waiting for the car. They could squat there for the whole day."

"Hurry up and cook. I'm hungry."

"Okay, right away. The dishes are ready. Just stir-fry them. Then buying a big car will only cost about 4 yuan, which is not bad."

"We will need to send someone to learn in the next two days. Let's discuss who to send. It would be best if it were a family member. After all, what you learn is a lifelong skill."

Lin Xiuqing agreed, "Yes, we must send our own people. If we send outsiders, wouldn't that be a bargain for them? It's a pity that our two children are still young."

"I really want to send Chenghe away, but my brother and his wife seem to want to keep him to help my brother work on the boat."

"Yes, they did."

"Are your two older nephews from your eldest and second brothers' families also 16 years old?"

Ye Yaodong also wanted to keep the wealth within the family. He had already made arrangements for his three nephews, and his son was still young, so there were no good candidates.

It would be good if there is one on Aqing's side, he is not an outsider.

"It seems so. Both are in the third year of junior high school. One is a year behind the others in school. He should be 17, right?"

"You can ask them after the New Year whether they are willing. If they are, I will pay for them to study. They will study for one or two years and get the internship certificate. Then they will have to work for me for at least 10 years."

"They have returned to the village now. When they return to their parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, I will just ask my elder and second brothers. They should be willing. You have paid for them to learn how to drive, so how could they not be willing? Driving a large truck is very popular these days. I heard that you can earn tens of thousands of yuan for a single truck trip. This is a lifelong skill. With this skill, you will never starve."

"Ah."

The more Lin Xiuqing thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.

"This is a great thing. It solves their employment problem after graduation. My second brother had previously suggested that Guangyao drive a tractor with him. Now that he can learn to drive a large truck, he will definitely be willing to do so."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong also felt that there should be no problem. There was nothing to inherit in his family. After learning the skills, she could just help him for a few years without having to worry about changing jobs or being poached.

As for Lin Xianghui's breakfast shop, he needed help. There were several girls in the family, and trucks were not suitable for girls to drive.

There isn't much work suitable for girls to do here. Although he needs an accountant to help him with the accounts and bookkeeping, he doesn't want to have a girl around.

Close relatives wouldn't make Lin Xiuqing suspect anything, but their camp was full of men, which was not convenient.

He needs to find a man who can use an abacus and keep accounts.

When his mother came over for dinner, he also talked to her and asked her to find out if there was any man nearby who could do accounting with an abacus.

Then I was willing to go to Zhejiang Province with him, and he paid me one hundred yuan a month.

This job is quite easy and not dangerous. It only takes a few hours a day. It is much more comfortable than being a boatman. It is just a long journey and it is considered a high salary.

"Give so much? It would take a lot of literate people willing to do so."

"You need to be able to use an abacus, and you also need to sign a confidentiality agreement."

"What confidentiality agreement?"

"I have to keep my income a secret. Otherwise, if I let him keep the accounts, wouldn't my earnings be exposed to others? If I just shout about it, everyone in the neighborhood will know about it."

Ye's mother said as a matter of course: "Even if you don't say it, people know that you make a lot of money. Otherwise, how could you have one boat after another, each one bigger than the last?"

"It's one thing to speculate, and it's another to hear someone say it specifically. And if it's the accountant who said it, doesn't that make it a direct confirmation? They are two different things."

"That's true. Who can just casually reveal their family background to others?"

Father Ye said, "You should look for it during the New Year. It should be finalized before the 15th. The 16th should be the time to go."

"understood."

Father Ye looked at Ye Yaodong again, "Ah Hai's letter of introduction didn't say when to report?"

"It's after the New Year. There's a phone number and address on it. Just call and ask yourself."

Ye Yaodong came back from the city a few days ago, and that night he took the letter of introduction to his eldest brother's house and gave it to Ye Chenghai, which made the whole family excited.

I didn't have any hope at first, but I didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

Studying in a small factory in your own county is not as good as studying in a large factory, and you were arranged in by the relationship with your leader.

Going to a big company to study for a few years is like gilding your skills.

This person is not assigned by the factory. If the factory assigns someone to go there to study, he has to come back to benefit the factory. Ah Hai went there to study and can stay directly.

Even if he doesn't stay, he will work in a big company when he comes back and have a good reputation.

Ye Yaopeng and his wife said they would take Ah Hai to the city to thank the leaders, but Ye Yaodong didn't have time. After watching the excitement the next day, he went to Vancouver at night.

They just said that the fifteen leaders would come to their house and go to the town to watch the fun, and they would treat them well then.

"Your brother and sister-in-law were embarrassed to call in such a hurry, and they were worried about the factory holiday, so they thought about calling after the New Year."

"Why should I be embarrassed to call? After getting the recommendation letter, of course I have to call and finalize the matter."

"You didn't make it clear then. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

"I thought they would call the next day in a hurry. Why would they need an explanation?"

"They are not sure about this."

Ye Yaodong was helpless. He had never seen them so honest before.

"It's the same if we call after the New Year. We also need to ask the county shipyard to issue a certificate that it is their personnel who are being sent."

"Okay, then I'll tell Ah Hai about it later."

"Ah."

In the 80s and 90s, the price of large trucks varied greatly depending on the make and model. Here are some examples of specific models and their prices:
-
Jiefang CA-141: This domestically produced large truck is priced at approximately 38 yuan.
-
Dongfeng EQ-140: The price of this car is 43 yuan.
-
Isuzu Double Cab: This is a more expensive model, priced at up to 125 yuan, and usually only companies can afford it.
-
Volga 2410: Although not a truck type, it was also a classic in that era and was priced at 113 yuan.

This is what I found. I don’t know if it’s accurate or not. You can just take a look at it.
