Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1437 Get it up

"How could I not know that not all the people out there are good? Do I need you to tell me?" Father Ye was still puffing his beard and glaring.

Being reminded of this by his son made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.

"I'm just reminding you."

"You should really be more careful. I'm an old man and I can't compare to you, a young man..."

"That's for sure."

"I said I'm not as good at having fun as you young people." Ye's father raised his voice and emphasized.

"That's hard to say. My mother always says that a man won't be honest unless he's hung on the wall."

Except him.

"Listen to her nonsense. This is also the social event you mentioned. Wasn't it you who took me there in the beginning? How dare you criticize me?"

"It's true that I took you there, but I didn't let you go there happily every other day."

"How can I go there every other day? At most, I go there once a week."

"So you admit that you are going there happily now? Take it easy."

"Do you think I love going? It's because you're not here and I have to help you arrange things, so I only go two or three times."

"I thought you drove the tractor out to earn extra money to support a woman. If not, then don't force it next time."

Ye's father widened his eyes, his forehead was throbbing with anger, and he took off his shoes and beat him.

"Don't talk nonsense. How could I do something that would corrupt public morals? Hooligans should be shot."

Ye Yaodong dodged and begged for mercy, "Ah, please speak properly, ah, why are you touching me..."

There were two beds and a table in the room. The space was small and he had nowhere to hide. His father spanked him hard with his shoes. There were shoe marks all over his buttocks, legs and back.

He was a little bit in the wrong, but he had to remind his father not to make mistakes.

Those slutty bitches out there have many tricks up their sleeves, but his father is an honest man, so don't be easily seduced.

Only after he slapped his father a few times to calm him down did he stop his father.

"I also believe in your character, but who told you not to tell me that you were driving a tractor to earn extra money, and those women out there are all not decent."

"Did I have a chance to tell you? You came back in the middle of the night and told me you were on TV, then you went out again early in the morning, and came back at noon and told me you arranged for me to learn that marine engineering or something."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. If others tell it, they will laugh at me to death and my reputation will be ruined in my later years." Father Ye was still angry.

"I know. I understand. Didn't we say this in the house? I don't mean anything else. I just want to remind you. There are too many temptations out there, especially in places like that. We have to be careful. We are out here to make money, not to be cheated."

"How could I not know? Those little girls chatted with me and asked me what I did, and I always told them that I was a fisherman and sold fish."

"How much money have you made driving the tractor during this time?"

Ye Yaodong changed the subject and planned to talk about what had just happened. While talking, he also put away the 1 yuan payment he had just received.

Ye's father's attention was also diverted. He watched him hide the money and said, "It's not a small amount. After deducting the gas money, I made 70 or 80 yuan. I didn't go every day. I only drove for seven or eight days. And I only drove for half a day. It's easy to make money driving a tractor to deliver goods. How did you make so much money?"

"The kelp was not delivered. My wife directly paid me for the goods."

"Didn't you say to wait until he comes back before getting married?"

"That's what I thought. Who knew they would be so straightforward? It's fine to accept the marriage. Anyway, I'm the one who gets paid."

"It's better to take it."

"I'm going to eat first. I'm starving."

When he came back, he went into the house and planned to put the money away before going to eat. Otherwise, it would feel heavy to carry 1 yuan to eat.

Who knew that when he smelled the sweet fragrance on his father's body, he immediately got angry.

Ye Yaodong patted the shoe prints on his butt and walked out.

Father Ye was still asking, "How did you know I went for a massage at night? Did Baoxing tell me?"

"Need I tell you? I can smell it with just two sniffs."

In winter, people wear a lot of clothes to cover themselves up, but the cold wind outside will almost wash away the smell on their clothes. But inside the house, his father was shirtless, so wouldn't he have smelled it as soon as he entered the house?
This is not good. Next time I go there, I have to suggest to the boss lady to improve it.

Otherwise, anyone can tell where you are just by smelling you when you go out. How can it still be a secret?

Father Ye raised his arm and sniffed it a few times. It seemed to still smell good. He thought the smell had disappeared after so much time had passed.

But it does smell really good. I have never smelled good in my life, but now I am old, I smell good? I have learned something new!
After Ye Yaodong delivered a shipload of goods, he took 5 yuan the next morning and put it in a sack as usual. He put a bunch of clothes on the sack in three layers and then stuffed it into the sack, preparing to go to the bank to exchange it for -yuan bills.

He did not just change banks. In order to avoid attracting attention, he only exchanged 5 yuan in one bank. He changed banks three times before he got 15 yuan back. It took him a whole morning to run back and forth.

After exchanging 15 yuan, he didn't plan to exchange the remaining tens of thousands of yuan. He saved it for paying salaries at the end of the month, and the salaries had to be tens of thousands of yuan.

Ye's father drove his tractor out early in the morning to earn extra money. He would not be able to return until the afternoon after collecting the fresh goods from the ship, so he still had the whole morning to make money.

All the money he earned was his own pocket money. Ye's father himself could not sit still. The row of vegetables planted in the corner of the wall was not enough to keep him busy. He was quite happy when Ye Yaodong brought up 20 chicks and ducklings, but it was still not enough to keep him busy for a while.

So, early in the morning, after watering the vegetable fields and feeding the chickens and ducks, he had some free time, so he used public property for personal purposes and drove out to earn extra money.

Ye Yaodong slept until noon, went to three banks and changed all his money, but his father had not returned home yet.

When it was time for dinner, he was sitting on the steps at the canteen entrance with his lunch box in hand eating when he heard the sound of the tractor.

After a while, Ye's father also took his lunch box and sat on the steps with him, smiling and looking in a good mood.

"How much money did you make to be so happy?"

"Today was good. I have been delivering goods continuously this morning and earned 20 yuan. However, I am out of gas. I have to go get another 5 yuan. After I finish my meal, I will go out and drive for a few more hours."

“It’s quite profitable.”

"Isn't it? Now that you're back, I don't have to look for those bosses. I have more time. After dinner, I can go out and make money again. Anyway, I'll clear my car in advance to wait for your goods when the fresh food ship returns to the dock."

Father Ye was very happy. Dongzi's tractor was empty anyway, and he was not someone else but his biological father.

Not much, earning a dozen or twenty yuan a day, that's several hundred yuan a month, which is more profitable than any other job.

If you don’t make money, you won’t make anything.

Otherwise, it would be a pity if the car was left idle the rest of the time except for the time spent transporting goods every other day.

It's a pity that there is another tractor that is not being used. He is alone and cannot drive two vehicles. Of course, he is not willing to let others earn this money. After all, it is Dongzi who bought the vehicle with his own money, and it was a new one. Why should he give it to others at a discount?

He was thinking about telling Dongzi to pick one of the remaining workers to drive the tractor with him, and they could earn more by using two vehicles to take on jobs together.

Thinking of this, he also asked this question.

Ye Yaodong objected, "If you like to make this money, then drive one car out to transport goods. No matter how much you earn, leave the other tractor here. You can't drive it out together. What if you really need a car for something? Where can I find you? You have to keep one car just in case."

"Besides, I don't need that few hundred bucks, so I'll just leave a tractor here for emergencies. Otherwise, I'll only have a bicycle, which won't be of any use if something happens."

Father Ye thought about it and felt that that was true.

Dongzi doesn't make money from this. He just wants to earn some extra cash by driving one out for half a day.

"What a pity. If I had brought Ah Jiang and Cheng He here earlier, wouldn't they earn more than working in the factory? They would have learned how to drive a tractor anyway."

"Don't you think working in a factory is respectable? It's a stable job."

"But you can earn a lot by driving a tractor. I didn't know it before, and I've only been driving it for a few days, but I've earned more than they do in a month. If you drive it steadily from morning to night, I can definitely make 700 or 800 a month."

Father Ye became more and more excited as he spoke, "That's more than 50 times more than the yuan a month they make now!"

"Yes, why don't you just go to the provincial capital and ask Ah Hai to come over to drive the tractor? He doesn't even make 50 yuan a month."

At that time, their family conditions were not good. Ah Hai was the eldest grandson, and his father had always wanted Ah Hai to work in the shipyard and learn technology so that he could become a skilled worker in the future and not have to work as hard as they did.

The fact is, individuals can make more money now, but it can’t be said that learning a skill is a bad thing. What if you can really become famous with it?

"That won't work. Ah Hai wants to learn skills and get a job in a good company as a senior worker. Although individuals can make money, it's not as good as having a stable job, a good reputation, and being able to eat public food and be respected."

"How respectable? Do you think I'm respectable?"

Father Ye was speechless.

There is no one in the surrounding area who is more famous and renowned than Dongzi.

Now that he is on TV again, he is not respected.

Who dares to say that he is not decent as a self-employed person? Only the workers in the city think that being a self-employed person is shameful. The rural people envy Dongzi for being rich, and even his back as a father is straightened, which makes him feel proud.

"You guys can decide for yourselves. It's best to ask Ah Hai for his opinion, since it's his own path to take after all."

"He didn't say that, but I still need to teach him some skills for a few years. If he knows how to build a boat, then he must know how to repair it. Aren't you thinking of sending me and a few more people to train? Isn't it better for him to learn the structure and repair of fishing boats directly?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned. "That makes sense! Then let him continue to study! When he has learned enough and doesn't want to stay in the shipyard anymore, he can come directly to my ship and be the chief engineer!"

"If you want beauty, everyone has to work for you. Your eldest brother has his own boat."

"My eldest brother can handle the boat by himself. Isn't there Chenghe who can help?"

"In a few years, the lake will be bigger."

"It's still too early. If he can study, let him study for a few more years. How can we expect him to stop studying and help with the work sooner?"

"If you are going to the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon, call back and ask Cheng He and A Jiang if they want to come up..."

"Chenghe hasn't even graduated from the third year of junior high school yet, and the final exam is next month..."

"What does it matter? I can't study anyway. I just want to get married every day."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

Father Ye said, "How about I go with you later? I'll tell your elder and second sisters-in-law how much money you can make driving a tractor in a month..."

"up to you."

"Then eat quickly and don't delay making money. I'll go to the Chamber of Commerce with you and then I'll take on some work."

Ye Yaodong shook his head and started eating first.

Ye's father had tasted the sweetness of running the tractor and was anxious to make money, so when he saw that he had finished eating, he immediately poured his food in as well, and then temporarily put the lunch box in the cafeteria. He didn't even have time to run upstairs to put it there, and he hurriedly tried to pull him away.

"I should have known not to live on the third floor. It's tiring. I have to crawl up and down all day. I have to go back to my room to get the lunch box before eating, and then I have to take it back to the room after eating."

"When he first heard that I was living on the third floor, he grinned so hard that his mouth was crooked, saying that he had never lived so high in his life."

"That was then, and this is now. Living in such a high building, I found it inconvenient to get in and out. It's better to live on one floor."

Ye Yaodong ignored his father's nagging and called Chen Baoxing, and the three of them went out again.

Father Ye’s mind is now filled with thoughts of bringing his two grandsons up to make a lot of money.

He had already calculated it in his mind. At seven or eight hundred yuan a month, he could earn a millionaire's salary in a year!

How can a young man who is only sixteen or seventeen years old earn ten thousand yuan a year?
What kind of wife can’t you marry?
In two years he will be able to become a grandfather!

Father Ye felt happy when he thought of this.

If Ah Hai hadn't been so incompetent and hadn't realized anything until now, he would probably have become a grandfather now!

This unfilial grandson doesn't even know how to learn from Chenghe.

Those who should be smart don’t, and those who shouldn’t be smart just want to get a wife all day long.

After the phone call, Ye's father was satisfied and was waiting for the time to go back and pick up the two boys.

"What a pity, I didn't think of it earlier, otherwise you could have brought both of them up here this time."

"Did the eldest and second sisters-in-law agree? Ajiang will not be allowed to work in the factory? Chenghe will not have to take the final exam?"

Ye Yaodong only talked to Lin Xiuqing and the old lady on the phone. He did not interfere in the affairs of his two nephews. He let his father deal with it on his own. If he had anything to say, let his father talk to his eldest and second sisters-in-law himself.

"You can earn 700-800 a month, how can you bear to refuse? Jiang's job will be given directly to his sister. It's just right for girls to work in factories, it has a good reputation, and it's close to home."

"Originally, your second brother was thinking of bringing A Jiang with him next year, but now he is just bringing it forward a year. Anyway, if Xiu Xiu wants to go to work in the factory by then, you can just say hello and tell her. A Jiang has already vacated his position."

"Chenghe won't get many points in the exam. He can't waste such a great opportunity to make money by staying in school. When your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law heard what I said, they were very willing to do it."

"Even if you just came up, they can't come without someone to lead them. We don't know when we will go back next time. I guess Chenghe will also finish his exams and graduate. Now we can only wait and see when we can go back."

Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and said, "If the eldest and second sisters-in-law have really made up their minds, maybe I can contact my wife and give it a try."

Yesterday everyone said that the secular man would be back in about a week, and if the car goes smoothly, it would only take two or three days. If I go and ask now, maybe there is still a chance?

Ask his wife in advance if it would be convenient for her to bring his two nephews up if the layman called and said he was leaving.

I just don't know if the layman will call his wife before leaving for home. If not, then I can only give up and wait for next time.

"What's the use? If the person is outside and doesn't take the initiative to call home, how can he be contacted?"

"See if he calls home before he comes back. We also call home before we go home."

"Yeah, then go to her house and try it when you're done."

"Well, should we wait for the eldest and second brothers to return from the sea and tell them first?"

"It will be too late to make arrangements after you tell them. Anyway, your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law both agree."

"Okay, it was your idea anyway."

"My idea is my idea. They will have to thank me later."

His elder and second brothers were still at sea. If Ye Chenghe and Ye Chengjiang were really brought up, they would probably be shocked.

It’s his father’s idea, so let his father take responsibility.

"Nothing, I'm going to go make some money, you're just going to stay here?"

It was just past 12 o'clock at this time, and there were not many people around at noon, most of them were eating outside.

Ye Yaodong thought that it was better to go today than to wait for another day. Since there were not many people around and nothing to do, he might as well go to the ordinary family's house now.

If we are a step late, it might be too late, so it is better to say it in advance.

"I'm going to the layman's house now. Anyway, it's just a matter of passing on messages."

"Then I'll take you there."

One afternoon, Ye Yaodong was busy all the time. He went to the Chamber of Commerce, then to a layman's home, then to the Chamber of Commerce again, then back to his own home, and then to the dock again.

He felt like he was always running around. After arriving at the dock, he was busy receiving goods and driving a tractor to deliver goods, like a spinning top.

However, he delivered the message to his layman wife in a timely manner.

The next afternoon, Ye's father called back again and planned to tell Ye's elder and second sisters-in-law that Ye Yaodong needed help from laymen...

However, just as he got through, Lin Xiuqing said that he received a call from a secular person this morning, saying that he would go to Zhou City tomorrow, and Adong asked him to help take his two nephews with him.

Ye's father responded happily, saying that it was very timely. It was true. They went to give the layman's wife the message yesterday afternoon, but they didn't expect to get in touch with her so quickly today and get a reply.

It was just a coincidence.

Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye were already busy when they received the news this morning and immediately packed luggage for the two children.

Ye Yaodong asked someone to do this for him, and his two sisters-in-law believed it very much.

Ye Yaodong himself didn't expect it to be so fast...

It was obvious that he and his father were just sitting on the steps with lunch boxes and chatting, who knew that his father would rush into this matter?

It just happened yesterday and today, less than 24 hours in total, and they directly rescued the two nephews?

This is a bit too neat...

The child’s biological father doesn’t know anything yet.

After they finished their phone call, Ye's father was busy being happy while Ye Yaodong was still a little confused.

"You've got both of them up here?"

He thought it wouldn't be that fast and there would be a buffer.

"Yeah, what a coincidence. We just talked about it yesterday and it's done today? How many days will it take to get here?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on whether people stop to unload and sell goods on the way. It may take two or three days at the fastest, or four or five days at the slowest."

"Is it safe?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his father like he was a fool and said unhappily, "Isn't it too late for you to think about this now? We have already discussed it with them in advance, and they have agreed to it. We are just waiting to pick them up tomorrow morning and leave."

"I didn't think too much about it before, but now that things have come to fruition, I'm a little worried..."

"They all have tools for self-defense and are used to long-distance travel, so they are more or less safe. Otherwise, how could two teenagers of sixteen or seventeen get up here? They have never been far away, so they don't know how to take a boat."

Fortunately, he is a kind-hearted person and does his job well. He arranged the delivery of 30 tons of kelp the day before yesterday very well. He helped to arrange everything, whether it was what he should do or not.

"I'm still a little impulsive. Now that everything has been decided, let's wait and see for a few days."

Father Ye's days afterwards were a torment. He was restless, unable to eat or sleep well, and he was always worried about whether his two older grandsons were safe on the journey and when they would arrive.

But I couldn't get any information and could only wait.

Even driving a tractor to earn extra money is not as exciting or proactive as before.

Every day when I get home, the first thing I do is to ask Ye Yaodong if there is any news or when he will arrive.

Ye Yaodong only told him to wait patiently for four or five days, and at the latest it would not exceed a week.

If he was really anxious, he might as well go to the tractor factory in advance, or think about how to explain to his elder and second brothers when they come back.

Father Ye, however, didn't think much of it. Anyway, they had originally wanted to bring these two sons up to take over, and now it was just being done earlier.

There's nothing wrong with getting up early and getting familiar with the situation.

Arrive early and make money early!
If you delay for a day, it will cost you more than ten dollars.

It would have been fine if they didn’t know they could make so much money, but now that they know, Father Ye wants them to earn the money.

Anyway, he is the one who leads it first.

The prerequisite is that they have to buy a tractor first, but he thinks it is not a big deal for the two brothers and it is a business that is sure to make money.

If you buy one for two or three thousand yuan, you can get your money back in two or three months, and the rest is all profit.

They earn several thousand dollars a month driving a boat now, so it would be okay to buy a tractor for their son to exercise first.

The longer time passed, the more anxious Ye's father became.

Ye Yaodong couldn't sit still after being questioned, so on the fourth day, he went to the house again to inquire.

But there was no news, and his wife just asked him to wait patiently, saying that it should be soon.

When he returned home, he was really surprised.

It’s already here!

Just an hour or so after he left the house, he was already there.

As soon as he entered through the gate, he saw three people, old and young, sitting on the steps in front of the cafeteria and walked quickly forward.

"When did you arrive? I was shocked. You haven't arrived in so many days. I even went out to ask in the morning."

"It's only been 10 minutes, and your butt hasn't even warmed up yet, Uncle San."

"As long as you're safe, you're glad you got there. Have you thanked them properly?"

"Yes, I told you to treat him to a meal when you come back."

Ye Yaodong smiled and patted Ye Chengjiang on the head, "You are good at doing favors."
