Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1417 Over a Million

There was no need for them to go over and talk, as Ye Yaopeng and Ye Chenghai came over while they were eating.

"Uncle San, when did you come back? How come I didn't know?"

"Do I have to report to you when I come back?"

"No, I've been waiting for you to come back every day. I just went out to see the excitement for a while, and when I came back I saw your ship parked on the sea, so I missed the chance to greet you."

That's more or less.

"I just came back a while ago."

As Ye's father had just said, Ye Yaodong also knew why they came to his house in such a hurry, so he told them what he had just said to his father.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chenghu hesitated and interrupted, "Dad, you promised me last year to ride in the float on the 15th..."

Ye Yaodong glared at him, "Do you still remember what happened last year?"

"Of course."

"Wait for the next year."

He muttered quietly, "Everything will have to wait until after the New Year..."

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, you don't want to celebrate the New Year, right? If you don't want to celebrate the New Year, your mother's whip won't be celebrated during the New Year either. She will still bring it out during the New Year."

Lin Xiuqing glanced over.

"Celebrate the New Year. I want to celebrate the New Year." He immediately lowered his head and ate obediently.

Ye Chenghai laughed, "Grow up quickly. When you are taller than Third Aunt, she won't be able to hit you anymore."

Ye Chenghu thought it made sense and nodded while eating.

"My dad said playing basketball can help me grow taller. The workshop has just finished work, so I'm going to play basketball tomorrow. By the way, Dad, my basketball has several lumps on it. Can you buy me a new one sometime?"

"Give me the money you received during the Chinese New Year, and I will buy you one when the time comes."

He pursed his lips and said, "I think it's still useful. I can make do with it."

Ye Yaopeng saw that they had finished talking, and then he picked up what Ye Yaodong had just said about the leader, Fifteen, coming over, and said with a smile: "Then wait for Fifteen, your godfather will come over, I will buy him a few bottles of good wine, we will entertain him well, and after he leaves, I will give him some gifts."

"Giving gifts...it's up to you. Regardless of whether this happens or not, I will definitely treat you well."

He wasn't sure whether it would be accepted or not, so he just had to prepare in advance.

Mother Ye said, "Make a few more sets of new clothes for Ah Hai these days. He will be working in a big factory in the provincial capital after the New Year. He needs to dress decently. He can't wear ragged, patched work clothes every day like he does when he goes to work in a factory in the county."

"Yes, my mother has been buying cloth to make new clothes for me these past two days. Before, I moved things around every day, and they were rubbed against the ground, so they got damaged easily. So I patched them up. It's the same for everyone anyway."

Mother Ye added, "I'll buy a few pounds of wool tomorrow and knit two sweaters for you."

Ye Chenghai was smiling and very happy, because that was the provincial capital.

Even though I still had to move things and crawl around on the ground, at least it had only been two days and I could still behave like a human being.

These past two days, the friends in the village were very envious when they heard that he was going to study in a large factory in the provincial capital after the New Year. Some of them had never even been to the county town.

Everyone says he is lucky, having a good third uncle, who has a bright future arranged for him, which is something that everyone envies.

Ye Chengjiang also went to work in the factory as a worker, easily earning 50 yuan a month. Children of the same age were still helping with housework at home.

Ye Chenghe has also been learning how to ride a motorcycle these days. He was showing off at the door and a bunch of people were watching him.

Each of them has a bright future, which makes their friends jealous.

Father Ye said at this time: "Your second brother said yesterday that he wanted to bring A Jiang with him next year and let him give the factory job to Xiu Xiu. What do you think?"

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Ah?"

"He said that if a girl works in a factory and has a formal job, it will be easier for her to find a husband in the future, and someone will have to take over the family boat. Your eldest brother has two sons, one can go out and the other can stay at home. He only has one son, so he will definitely have his son in the future."

"Then he can do whatever he wants. It's his own child, so he can make his own arrangements."

I guess it's because Ye Chenghai got a recommendation letter these two days and is going to the provincial capital. His eldest brother talked about the arrangements for the two children, and his second brother also thought about it? So he thought about it in advance.

Ye Xiuxiu is only 15 and hasn’t even graduated from junior high school.

"I have to tell you about my own arrangements. Jiang's current class is so good that it would be a pity to just quit. It's better to take up the position for another year, and then take over when Xiuxiu finishes junior high school next year. This way, both children will have a place to stay."

"Yeah, sure, that's not a problem."

It is not uncommon for brothers and sisters to take over jobs in the family. In the past few years, there have been cases where job positions were sold.

"It's not the right time yet. You weren't at home yesterday, so he didn't think of telling you now. He thought he would tell you next year if he really planned to do so. It would be troublesome if things change at that time even if they are all right now. I just said it at the right time."

"Whatever."

"It's better for your second brother to make plans and arrangements early. The children in the family are growing up year by year. With you around, they also have arrangements and a place to stay. It's all because of you..." Father Ye said ramblingly.

Ye Yaodong buried his head in his food and just listened without responding.

Ye Chenghai said with a grin, "Uncle San, when I come back from the provincial capital, I will buy you some good cigarettes and good wine."

"Don't make promises for me. You might as well give some New Year's money to your brothers and sisters. After all, you are working and making money, right?"

When the three people who were busy eating heard about the New Year's money, they immediately raised their heads, looked at Ye Chenghai, and shouted in unison.

"Brother Hai..."

Ye Chenghai's scalp suddenly went numb.

Ye Yaodong added, "My brothers and sisters have all been given money, so why don't you show respect to me, old lady?"

"I'll give it to you tomorrow. I'll give it to you tomorrow."

The three people's eyes lit up.

Ye Chenghu was excited, "There's one more person who gives out New Year's money."

Ye Chengyang whispered: "Brother Jiang has also made money."

"I'll tell him to prepare to give New Year's money to his brothers and sisters tomorrow."

Ye Chenghai ran away as if escaping.

Lost the wife and broke down again.

Not only have I not received any New Year’s money since I started working last year, but I actually have to pay out for it this year?
The point is, he doesn't have much money to save.

When asked where the money went, he couldn't figure it out. It seemed like he spent a little bit every day and it was gone. When asked where the money went, he didn't have much of an idea.

When he returned home and wondered where his money had gone, he finally realized what had happened and slapped his thigh.

"That's not right! Damn it! I take a bunch of kids out for food and drinks every other day. Apart from buying cigarettes and occasionally refueling, isn't all the money spent on them?"

"Damn it! I have to take them shopping every few days, and give them New Year's money! I also have to get scolded by my mother, and I have no money to save..."

Ye Chenghai thought about it and felt that he had suffered a great loss, and he even let them eat and take away.

But I have to give it to him because my uncle has said so.

However, he couldn't be the only one to suffer, so he hurriedly called Ye Chengjiang and asked him to remember to give him the New Year's money tomorrow.

However, after finding Ye Chengjiang and talking to him, he felt even more upset.

Ye Chengjiang said with great generosity that it was no problem and that he could give 5 cents to each person, and then asked him how much he was willing to give.

How much to give?
Give him a head!

Ye Chengjiang gave 5 cents, so he must also give 5 cents, right?
Even sadder.

Ye Chenghai went home with a depressed look on his face and rummaged through his piggy bank to see if the little money he had left for the New Year could be enough to give his younger brothers and sisters some lucky money, and to count how many brothers and sisters he had at the same time.

His heart ached even more when he counted them. Excluding him and Ye Chengjiang, he still had 7 younger brothers and sisters.

Then, when I thought about the fact that my aunt Ye Huimei had three children at home, I felt even more heartbroken, ten.

We all live next to each other, so it doesn't make sense that I give it all here but not to my aunt.

Ye Chenghai was so depressed. He got five dollars for ten.

Lin Xiuqing on the other side waited for Ye Chenghai to leave, then said with a smile: "Look at you, you scared everyone away."

"Isn't this what should be done? We are all working people."

Ye Yaopeng said with a smile: "Dongzi is right. This is what should be done. We are all earners."

"Just give one to the old lady, to show respect to the elders. Forget about the little ones, why give them to peers? They eat Ah Hai's food every day. Whenever a peddler comes and calls, it's Ah Hai who buys for them."

"So generous? You really act like a big brother."

Ye Yaodong was not at home, so he didn't know much about it.

He turned around and looked at the other three, "You guys are so shameless. You ate and took everything. You ate so much from Ah Hai, and you still have the nerve to look at him and ask for New Year's money?"

"Hey, Dad, isn't this what you said?"

"I told you to go eat shit, you're going to go?"

"Then I will really go and eat. Dad, you should not want such a stupid son like me anymore."

"I don't think you're that smart."

Ye Chengyang interrupted: "Brother, are you really going to eat?"

"I'm assuming!"

"But you said you were really going to eat!"

Ye Chenghu was so angry that his teeth itched, "Ye Chengyang!"

"I'm done eating."

Ye Chengyang quickly took the bowl of rice and walked down the table. He swept the few grains of rice in the bowl as he walked, then put the bowl and chopsticks on the stove and quickly ran out.

Ye Chenghu also hurriedly ate his meal and then chased after him.

It was common for the two brothers to behave like this. The adults ignored them and they just ate and chatted on their own.

Ye Yaodong also said to Ye Yaopeng, "I forgot to tell you just now, I will go to the provincial capital after the New Year, and Ah Hai will also go to the provincial capital to report. Then I can take Ah Hai to the big factory in the provincial capital, and you don't have to send him there."

"That's good, it saves me the trip. I'm not familiar with the provincial capital, I've only been there once, and I can't even tell the directions. It would be great if you could go there, and give me a ride."

"Ah."

After all, Ye Chenghai was not familiar with the provincial capital and had never been there. When he went to report for the first time, of course he had to be sent by his family. It was just a coincidence that he went there.

By the way, I can also find Ye Yaohai to chat. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so it’s a good opportunity for him to take care of Ye Chenghai.

Ye Yaopeng asked curiously: "Why are you going to the provincial capital?"

"I want to buy a big truck. I have already obtained the qualification to purchase a truck. I want to make a decision as soon as possible. Big trucks are in short supply and are not available immediately."

“Buy a big car?”

Ye Yaodong explained to them the situation with the deliveries and that he urgently needed a car to be more convenient.

Ye Yaopeng was envious again, "You have everything fully equipped."

"Well, if you need it, you must prepare it early. The sooner you buy it, the sooner you can enjoy it."

"You are really amazing... You have everything, a bunch of boats of all sizes, and several cars of all sizes."

"It's just luck."

They were talking about what brand of car to buy...

Ye Yaodong had to give them some basic knowledge about the current truck models and brands.

After chatting and having dinner, the couple went back to the house to pack up the things and money that Ye Yaodong brought back.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the huge sum of money and felt both happy and conflicted.

“We’re all running out of space.”

"Then after the New Year, take 20 and deposit it in the bank near home? Keep the deposit slip safe."

"is it safe?"

"You ask me this, who should I ask? I only know that the interest rate is very high. Since we have saved money there, why not save some at home as well? The main thing is that we haven't saved all of it. It might be better to save some that we can afford and keep it in two different places."

"I always feel uneasy about leaving so much money somewhere else for safekeeping."

"Then I should go to the provincial capital or the city to book a boat?"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him in annoyance, "Do you have so many people? It's hard to find people to drive the ship. You have big ships one after another, and each ship has more than a dozen workers. You need more and more people."

"I was thinking of sending the workers for training. I'll make arrangements after the New Year."

"The training won't take a few days. Otherwise, when you go to the provincial capital after the New Year to reserve a truck, you can also look for land or houses in the provincial capital. When you buy them, ask Ah Hai to help look after them? You can also give him a place to live."

"That's fine. Let me go and take a look first. It's useless to say anything now."

"Well. The more money I have, the more worried and anxious I become."

The same is true for Ye Yaodong.

The purchasing power of money is amazing these days, and there are very limited places to spend big money. Now that he is on the right track, he is making money too fast. It makes him uncomfortable to save it like this, and he is worried about how to spend it.

"When I'm done with these few months, we can go to Min D to buy a house. The area of ​​the Min D Special Economic Zone has expanded in the past few years, so it should be easier to buy a house there."

"Ah? You want to buy something so far away?"

"I also want to buy it in the Magic City, in the capital."

"Nerve, it's so far, just think about it."

Lin Xiuqing just thought he was bragging and didn't take it seriously.

She counted the money bit by bit and put it away.

Ye Yaodong asked casually and found out that the family had about 110 million yuan.

He also spent a large sum of money on buying a boat this time, and deposited another 20 yuan in the bank, otherwise the amount would be even more incredible.

…was reviewed and corrected.

I'm dead in Jiangxi, in Wangxian Valley. I'll update when I get back in a few days.
