Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1440 Getting angry
"No, I said I still have to help you deliver goods occasionally. I don't drive tractors very often. It's your own tractor, and you have to deliver goods too. How can you drive it around for me every day?"

Ye Yaodong lay on the bed with his legs crossed, too lazy to respond.

"Did you hear me? Don't let it get away from you. When the time comes, hand in less."

"What you said is also true. There is a little bit of lies in the truth. It is up to you to decide how much money to give her."

"I'm afraid she'll keep asking, and then I'll be incoherent and give myself away."

"At the end of the year, I'll give you a salary, and you'll hand over another one. She'll ask you a lot of questions, and she'll smile so hard that her mouth will be crooked. She'll praise you for being hardworking."

Father Ye also grinned after hearing this, "That makes sense."

Ye Yaodong asked curiously, "Dad, why do you keep trying to hide your private money? What do you want to do with it? I've never seen you want to hide your private money so much before."

"Then I would have had to have money to hide it. I didn't have any money before, so how could I hide it?"

"what about now?"

"Isn't there more money going through your hands now? What grown man has an empty pocket all day? It was only in the past when our family was not well off and we couldn't make much money. Of course, I gave all my money to your mother so that she could save it up to help you three brothers get married and raise children."

"really."

"It's different now. Our family is better off now. How can I give it all to her? Of course I have to keep some for myself."

"really."

"I don't have to worry about losing money playing cards when I go home for the New Year!"

"Makes sense."

"I'll go check if the chickens and ducks have returned to the cages so we can have another meal." Father Ye went downstairs happily.

Ye Yaodong was too lazy to climb up and down, so he just lay down.

The next day, he changed the candidates for training, replacing his father with someone else and selecting someone from the logistics staff.

This is not a difficult task. He had just paid the money and completed the formalities. He hasn't even gone to class yet, so it's easy to make some changes.

He went to the Chamber of Commerce in the afternoon, but there was no message he was expecting, so he was a little disappointed.

Chen Baoxing was sent to record the quantity of goods the bosses wanted, and he went to make a phone call first.

Lin Xiuqing was very excited when she answered the phone. "It just so happens that I was just about to call and leave you a message. Yesterday, Monday, the postman came to deliver the newspaper and specifically reminded me that you were in the newspaper!"

"Already? I said half a month had passed, so I thought of calling to ask why there was still no news. Turns out you've already been there."

"We have been waiting for this as well, and the villagers have been asking when the newspaper will be available."

"Why didn't you leave a message yesterday?"

"I was busy searching around the village yesterday, thinking of asking more people for a few copies and mailing them to you, so I didn't rush to call you. I wanted to call you after I mailed them out, otherwise you might not answer the phone if I called too frequently."

"Have you sent it?"

"I sent it and asked everywhere, but no one was willing to give it to me. Then I received five newspapers, which were too thick to fit into a dozen envelopes, so I had to mail them separately and put an extra stamp on them. When my three children heard that I was going to send you a letter, they also wrote one to you and put them in one envelope and mailed them together."

"You wrote me a letter? What did you write?"

Ye Yaodong was a little surprised and wanted to know what the three children could write for him.

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "You will know when you receive it."

"I'm looking forward to what you said."

"Haha, they said you called and they were not at home, they were all at school. Cheng Hu said the teacher taught them how to write letters and how to put stamps in class, and he said he wanted to write to you. One of them said he wanted to write to you, and the other two also shouted that they wanted to write to you too."

"Wait until I receive it and see what's written on it. If there are any good ones, bring them gifts and praise them when you go back."

"However, mail is slow and it's across provinces, so you may have to wait a month. The post office in town said that today is Tuesday, so they won't deliver letters and parcels to the county. They will have to wait until Friday to be delivered."

"I know that. We can't waste manpower and resources. We send letters and parcels to the county every day, but there are only a few. We send them on Fridays, and then we distribute the county's mail and newspapers to the township on Monday."

"Well, you will have to wait until next month to receive it."

"It doesn't matter. As long as it's sent out, it's fine. We can't see it right away anyway. It doesn't matter if we see it early or late. As long as everyone in the city can see it, that's fine."

Anyway, you've already seen it on TV, and being in the newspaper is just icing on the cake. It would be more glorious to keep a record of it.

Lin Xiuqing suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, my godfather called me after seeing the newspaper. I told him a few words. You can call him back later."

"it is good."

"Mom also asked why Dad didn't call recently? She said that when you weren't with him, he didn't know how to call?"

"He was busy making some private money, so he didn't have time. He was also afraid that his mother would find out, so he didn't dare to call her, fearing that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make."

"Haha, mom is also talking about this. She said she doesn't know how much money dad can make in a day driving a tractor. She said she doesn't even know. Call her and tell her."

"Wouldn't it be exposed if I told you?"

"Mother also said that he became more and more cunning after he left home."

"Going out will broaden your horizons. It is still useful to go out more often."

Lin Xiuqing was concerned about how the Ye Chengjiang brothers were doing.

I was a little surprised to hear that their father had already bought them a tractor. It was quite straightforward.

She could earn more than ten or twenty yuan a day, and she had to work until midnight. She was tempted by the income. It wouldn't be a small amount if they split it in half, which was indeed better than working.

"No wonder Dad was so anxious to get them up there."

"Ah."

"When will you be back next time? Is it Dad's turn to come back soon?"

"My father would definitely not want to go back. Most of the people are here. He has bragging rights, money to make, and face to save. Why would he go home?"

"Then I'll give it back to you..."

"I'll see."

Ye Yaodong talked about what he had done in the past few days, such as spending 4 yuan to buy two shops and spending more than yuan to send three people to training.

He also said that after he finishes his recent work, he will go to the shipyard to take a look, and by the way, ask Director Shen about the location of Jiangnan Shipyard and go to Shanghai to take a look.

Jiangnan Shipyard, he only knew the approximate location but not the exact location.

Lin Xiuqing only reminded him to be careful when he went out, and not to run around if possible. Even if he had to go out, he should not go alone, but should bring two more people with him.

After he finished speaking, he turned to the old lady. The old lady said the same thing again, full of words of concern and advice.

He waited until the phone became hot, and then he hung up when he thought it was about time.

It only took 20 minutes and it cost more than yuan. Long-distance calls are extremely expensive.

Ye Yaodong and others also told his father about it after returning. His mother said that he was becoming more and more cunning as he had not called for such a long time.

Only then did Ye's father realize that his behavior was inappropriate.

But after Ye Yaodong finished his phone call today, he decided not to call again, thinking about waiting two days before calling again.

Feeling a little guilty, Ye's father was thinking at this moment that he would call and tell the truth about how much money he had earned and hand it all over to him.

Honest person.

After entering June, the temperature gradually rises. Although it is not as hot as midsummer, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large.

The rain is not as dense as in spring, but it is sudden and intense. The sky is often clear one second and suddenly covered with dark clouds the next, followed by a downpour.

Ye Yaodong stood in the corridor, looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, thinking that it was going to rain heavily again.

With the arrival of summer, thunderstorms will gradually increase in number. In July, August, September and October, typhoons will become even more frequent, even in November.

The weather in June is not so bad, except that there are more thunderstorms. Even the workshop at home will definitely not be able to operate in the next few months. We have to put it on hold.

Fortunately, they have a lot of inventory. When he went back before the New Year, he also brought back a boatload of goods. Now he has accumulated quite a lot, and he will have to wait until he goes back to bring more back.

It has been nearly a month since Linji came to power, and it seems that the office has also been opened. I guess the first route is also going to be arranged?

Once the arrangements are made, it shouldn't be long before we can start leaving.

Ye Yaodong thought about waiting until dinner time to see if the person had returned. If not, he would wait until the evening to ask again, as he had to come back to sleep at night anyway.

If the first route starts at Linji, the ship that came up will definitely be arranged to transport the goods back. It just so happens that it also has to go back to handle the freight for the provincial capital. After all, it has been away for a month.

He can also take a hitchhiker and go back, and if he comes up later, he can take another hitchhiker up.

The service point here has just been opened. In the short term, we will definitely have to go back and forth to Linji to handle things, so the transportation arranged by the cargo ship will definitely be more frequent.

It's also convenient for him to go home!
He thought that he would wait until he had asked Lin Ji to confirm the date for the freight to start, or the return date, and then make his own plans.

He was still thinking about going to Jiangnan Shipyard to Shanghai. He wanted to see when the return trip would be so that he could make arrangements on whether to go to Shanghai first or go home first.

If he wants to go to Shanghai, it will definitely take at least a week. He said he is not in a hurry, but he is a little restless and can't sit still.

Just as he was holding up his chin, raindrops as big as beans suddenly fell down with a crackling sound. The chickens and ducks that were still wandering leisurely outside suddenly panicked and ran to the corridor.

Someone outside the gate also ran back and shouted, "Uncle Dong, our fishing boat is back."

Ye Yaodong stood up and said, "You're back? Didn't you say tomorrow?"

"It was very stormy at sea, so I came back and informed you right after we landed. We drove the tractor to pick up the goods."

"It's broken. The tractor was driven away by my father and two boys."

I thought we would be back tomorrow, so I drove out.

He said that no matter what, he had to keep a tractor at home as a backup and not drive it out, otherwise he would be caught off guard if something unexpected happened.

"Go to the dock and see if you can find my dad and the others. I'll put on a raincoat and come right back."

It was raining heavily, pedestrians were hurrying on the dock, cars were coming and going in a hurry, many fishing boats were coming back one after another, and the cars were overwhelmed with the goods, so business was extremely good.

Ye Yaodong sent people to search the dock for two hours before they found his father and others.

He was so angry that he started cursing at his father.

"Dozens of people are waiting for the car in the rain, but you, with so many fishing boats docked, don't you know I need a car urgently?"

Father Ye wiped the rain off his face and said innocently, "At first, I didn't know so many fishing boats were docked. I didn't go to see which ones were moored. I just took the jobs when they were available, and then I kept running around outside..."

"You are not allowed to drive out tomorrow."

"I thought the ship would be back tomorrow..."

"How can anything be just right?"

Ye's father didn't dare to say a word after being confronted by him, as he felt very guilty.

The two brothers didn't dare to say anything and quietly went to help move the goods.

Ye Yaodong worked until late at night to arrange all the goods that came back temporarily.

Father Ye was not confident in front of him now, and whispered: "Why don't you keep one car at home first, instead of driving both out."

He glanced at his father and said nothing.

Although he agreed to lend it to them, the premise was that he would not need it. In that case, he could give it to them to earn some extra money.

If he didn't lend it, it would seem that he, as the third uncle, was stingy and would not lend it even if it was idle.

However, anyone who stands in the rain for two hours or gets wet in the rain for two hours will have a bad temper.

And there were several boats of people waiting.

The key point is that in this kind of weather, it is difficult to find a vehicle to transport goods, and it is easy to be charged an exorbitant price and be slaughtered like pigs.

He had also said that we should keep one at home for emergencies.

When nothing happens, of course everything is easy to talk about. But when something happens, of course it will be unpleasant.

"Ah Jiang and the other two have also been working for nearly half a month. Tomorrow is a good day for them to rest. In a few days, when their tractors can be driven back to the factory, I will let them go out to take on more work."

"Ah."

"They were still saying a few days ago that they would return yours to you once they got a new tractor, and would also buy you a few packs of cigarettes and a few bottles of wine to honor you."

"I'm short of this little thing?"

"Of course it's not bad, but this is their thought, it's different, they also remember your kindness."

"Let's wait until they make money."

"The look on your face this afternoon scared them all. They didn't dare to get close to you and could only help with the work."

"It's good that they are afraid. I thought they were fearless."

"They say their own father is not as scary as you are this afternoon."

"I'll let you stand in the rain for two hours and do nothing. Do you think you'll get angry?"

Father Ye laughed awkwardly, "Who knew the ship would suddenly come back? It was something we couldn't control."

Ye Yaodong threw the towel over his shoulders, took the basin and went out.

The next morning, Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe lowered their heads and approached him cautiously.

"Uncle San, have you calmed down?"

"Are you going to give me a beating to calm me down?"

"Ha ha……"

"Uncle Three..."

"Go away." Ye Yaodong saw Lin Ji coming out and hurriedly called him.

It just so happened that the other person was also walking towards the cafeteria, so he went over with him.

I came back too late yesterday, and it was not good to disturb others’ sleep in the middle of the night.

I just happened to meet you now, so I asked you something.

As he expected, the first route in Linji has been arranged, which is towards the provincial capital of Fujian Province. The office even has a telephone installed. Now they are planning to ship the goods and have posted notices to accept jobs.

The cargo ship is scheduled to depart on the 16th of this month, leaving about half a month for taking on work. Regardless of whether the ship is full or not, it will depart on time.

"Just save a seat for me. I have to go home and take a look."

The last time I went home was on April 4th, and I came here again on May 20th.

This time I will go back in mid-June and will be able to come up again at the end of the month.

"You go back too often, don't you? There are so many ships here..."

"I also have a factory at home. I have to take care of both ends like you do. I have to go back more often. My father is here, and many things are on the right track. I don't need to worry too much."

"Okay, we'll have to stop in town anyway."

"Really? That's so convenient."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong was very happy. Wouldn't it be more convenient for him to go home in the future? There was a boat every month, going directly to the town, and it took about half a month to go back and forth.

"You arranged this route very well. It's just right."

"The first route is of course arranged according to your own schedule, and this route must be the one you are most familiar with."

He smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

"The second route I plan to take is to Shanghai. It's close, and a lot of the goods here are also going to Shanghai. The route is short and safe, and there are a lot of goods, so it's easy to get orders."

His eyes lit up, "That's great! When will the route be opened?"

"Next month, when I return from this trip, I will arrange for two new ships to come up."

"When will the route to Shanghai be decided? Give me a call and I will go."

Of course it is more convenient to have a favorable boat ride.

He doesn't mind this little bit of time. He can go to the Magic City after he comes back from home.

Lin Jishang was curious, "Why are you going there?"

"Let's go to Jiangnan Shipyard and take a look at the big cities. The Magic City is definitely not comparable to ours. Let's broaden our horizons."

"That's right. I heard that Jiangnan Shipyard is very famous."

"I heard they specialize in building warships."

"I will definitely follow you on your first trip, and we can go and see it together then."

"Okay, then I'll just be your companion."

Ye Yaodong didn't mind having one more person. He could ask his brother and his friends if they wanted to go with him. Should he take a few days off and just go out for a walk and see the world?

He guessed that he would be reluctant to do so and at most he would find someone to replace him.

Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe were following like followers and heard everything. As soon as the people left, they immediately spoke in a hurry.

"Uncle San, you are going to the Magic City. It's a big city..."

"Uncle San, you are so awesome, are you going to the Magic City?"

"I'm awesome just because I go to the Magic City?"

"Of course, that's the Magic City, very famous. I've heard about it." Ye Chenghe was a little excited.

"You're so stupid, you've heard about it, it's really famous."

"Why are you still cursing?"

"I can still hit people? Do you believe it?"

Ye Chenghe quickly took a step back and hid behind Ye Chengjiang.

Ye Chengjiang was grabbed by his clothes and pulled twice, but he ignored him and turned around to smile at Ye Yaodong in a flattering manner.

"Uncle San, can I go with you?"

"Then I'm going too!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Go and broaden your horizons."

"Hehe, I can brag about it when I get home. If others knew I'd been to the Magic City, they would be so jealous."

Ye Yaodong crossed his arms over his chest and said, "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you've come up with new ideas?"

"Haha, Uncle San, our tractor will be here in a few days."

"If I go, I'll have to go for a week. You're worth 100 or bucks a day, so that means I'll lose bucks in a week!"

The two felt a little painful when they heard it.

Ye Chenghe immediately shook his head, "Then I won't go!"

Ye Chengjiang was delighted, "That's great, if you don't want to go, then you can just drive the tractor at home and I'll go with you!"

"Why!"

"You said you weren't going."

"No, you have to go together, otherwise don't go, and don't expect me to work for you."

"We take turns... This time, my uncle and I are going out, so you stay behind. Next time, you can go home to see your partner, and I'll stay behind..."

Ye Yaodong felt that Ye Chenghe must have been fooled by Ye Chengjiang.

He didn't care how the two brothers discussed or who would suffer a loss. He just picked up today's newspaper and took a look.

It has been a week since Aqing's letter was sent out. I don't know when it will arrive.

Maybe he has already returned home and the letter hasn't arrived yet. It's very possible.

Mail delivery is so slow now.

It's even faster for him to look at it himself when he gets home.

After Ye Yaodong finished reading the morning paper, he looked at the two brothers again, and Ye Chenghe just kept nodding.

His second brother was obviously very honest and not good at speaking, but Ye Chengjiang was quite sharp-tongued and quick to react, so there seemed to be someone to succeed him.

It would be good for the two children if they could be taken out more often to see the world.

His own two sons are too young and are still in elementary school. If they were this old, he would definitely bring them out to see more.

Is it better to travel thousands of miles than to read a bunch of books?
He seemed to remember a sentence with this meaning.

Even his father has improved after he came out, let alone this young boy who is even more malleable.

"Hey? Uncle San? Where are you going?"

The two of them followed hurriedly behind.

"Uncle San, what are you doing?"

"Where are you going?"

Ye Yaodong walked towards the calendar hanging by the cafeteria door, wanting to see what day of the week the 16th was.

"Today is the 4th, what are you looking at?"

"Don't make any noise."

There are only about ten days left, he has to check the date.

"Dragon Boat Festival on the 18th? That means I can go back just in time to celebrate it?"

"Huh? Dragon Boat Festival on the 18th?" Ye Chenghe was surprised and his mind suddenly came to its senses.

"Ah Jiang! Didn't you say that we should take turns? This way we can make money without delay and take turns to rest!"

Ye Chengjiang suddenly had a bad feeling...

"You will go to Shanghai with your uncle next month, and I will drive a tractor with you at home to make money. Now, how about I go home with my uncle first, and you stay here and work?"

Ye Chengjiang: “…”

Ye Chenghe was full of excitement. "This is great. I can go home and still make money! It's great that we can take turns like this. Jiang, you're really smart. Anyway, I have Grandpa with me. You just said that I don't have to be afraid of being alone, so you don't have to be afraid of being alone either."

Ye Chengjiang hehe...

Ye Yaodong looked at it and laughed.

What is this called?
You're lifting a rock and dropping it on your own feet!

All the words that I just said to deceive people are now coming back to me, and there is no chance to refute them.

"We just came up, and you're going back? That's not good, right?" Ye Chengjiang tried to struggle.

"Why not? We came here last month, and there are still more than ten days before we return! That's already been a month."

Ye Chenghe was very happy and felt that he was really smart.

"Uncle San didn't even say he would take you..."
