Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1452 Sharing the Blessings
Ye Yaodong ignored him, found the washbasin, towel, toothbrush and cup he had just brought down, and went to wash up.

Ye Chengjiang just kept following him and wouldn't stop until he got the answer.

"Uncle San, you didn't brush your teeth either."

“But I didn’t eat shit.”

"I do not have either……"

"Stop making noise, you're so annoying, go away."

"Uncle Three..."

"Shut up. Say one more word and see if I will take you with me."

Ye Chengjiang immediately shut up and behaved himself.

Ye Yaodong also had some peace and quiet.

After he finished his meal, Ye's father also dragged Ye Chengjiang to make money, with Ye Chenghe following behind him, always touching his butt.

"Wait for me, my butt hurts..."

Ye Yaodong also greeted Chen Baoxing and started his first day of work.

"Come on, I'll take you for a walk."

Chen Baoxing had a look of grievance on his face, and he raised his legs as if he was running behind.

"Uncle Dong, when are you going to buy a motorcycle? Bicycles are taking up too much time for you."

"What are you delaying me for?"

"It's going to affect your business. Do you think riding a bicycle and riding a motorcycle give people the same impression? You are a big boss, and you handle at least 1 yuan a day. Is it reasonable for you to ride a bicycle on the street every day?"

"Makes sense."

"Hey, yeah, buying a motorcycle is just the money you earn in a day, it's no big deal."

"No, I will retire immediately if I earn 1 a day. But if I buy a motorcycle, will it be useless to you?"

Chen Baoxing was stunned. No need for him to give her a ride anymore?

"That's not right. I have to help you record the goods, be your assistant, run errands for you, and when you talk to the bosses, I pour you tea, pass you cigarettes, and take notes for you. Which boss doesn't have a few minions around him?"

"Your handwriting is so ugly..."

"I'll practice right away. I'll buy some practice patches later."

Chen Baoxing set a goal and asked carefully, "So let's go look at the motorcycles now?"

"Do you know where to look?"

"I don't know. I'll wait for you to take me there."

"There are no motorcycles for sale in this place. Wait."

"Where to go?"

"I'll go to the Magic City some time later, and I'll take a look at it and buy one for myself."

Chen Baoxing's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, then Uncle Dong, are you going to take me with you?"

"If you go, who will do the work? You have to stay and be my father's assistant."

His shoulders collapsed instantly.

"Hurry up and get in the car. Stop looking so sad. If you don't want to work, change someone else."

"Go, go, go, I'll do it."

Chen Baoxing was quiet for a while, and after getting on his bicycle, he asked again: "Uncle Dong, when are you going? Then take more photos and bring them back for everyone to see what Shanghai looks like."

"I don't know. You reminded me that I can bring my camera with me."

"My third aunt said that you should bring your black-and-white TV with you when you come up here..."

Ye Yaodong said confidently: "I didn't bring it. I forgot about it. My dad probably forgot about it too. He didn't even ask."

"Maybe I was too busy reading the newspaper this morning to ask you."

"Never mind, we'll talk about it next time."

Moving around was too troublesome. It’s not that he didn’t remember anything, but when it came to him, he instinctively chose to forget it.

After all, he doesn't like to watch it, and it's in black and white, which makes it even uglier. I didn't move it here for him to watch.

To receive information from the outside world, a radio and a newspaper are enough for him. If he had a color TV, he would definitely be more proactive and would not choose to forget.

Ye's father was indeed distracted by the newspaper early in the morning. He originally wanted to ask him about it, but seeing that he was not awake yet, he was busy reading the newspaper to everyone and had long forgotten about the TV.

It was not until lunch time when Ye Yaodong came back that he remembered to ask, but Ye Yaodong said as usual with confidence that he had forgotten and would only do it next time.

During dinner time, when his father had not yet actively gone out to earn his ten thousand yuan, he also asked his father about the goods received during this period.

I have already discussed this with Chen Baoxing this morning, but since our perspectives are different, there will naturally be discrepancies in our stories and there may be omissions. Besides, he just came back and hasn't talked to his father yet.

"Now that you're back, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief..."

"Are you too tired from the massage?"

Father Ye almost spit out a mouthful of rice.

He looked around and luckily the father and son were sitting on the steps of the ventilation vent in the corner. They were just talking about the goods and it was not suitable for others to hear them, so they were a little further away from others.

Moreover, everyone was holding their lunch boxes and chatting enthusiastically while eating, and the noise drowned out their voices.

"Your delivery work is too troublesome. You have to remember, sort, weigh, and deliver the goods. You also have to deal with those people and keep a smile on their faces. I can't do it, so I'll just do it for you."

"Oh, I thought going for massage every other day was too tiring."

Father Ye ignored him and raised his voice, "I can just drive the tractor."

"Indeed, there is a goal of becoming a millionaire waiting for you. It is already July, and the lunar calendar is almost June. It is less than half a year before you go home for the New Year."

"Listen to that stupid boy's fart, he's bragging about me, it's a lie, I'll make him pay me back during the Chinese New Year."

"No!" Ye Chenghe heard that his grandfather's voice had risen in a high pitch when he said this, and he was very excited.

Father Ye turned around and rolled his eyes at Ye Chenghe. "Don't go to the Magic City. There's a lot of work to do here, and you're running around everywhere. What's the point of running around? Aren't most places just land and houses? What's there to see?"

"That's different. I heard that the Magic City is developing very well. I'm going to see if there's any chance to make a fortune."

"What the hell, aren't you rich enough now? Can you handle it? If you don't catch fish properly, what else do you want to do?"

"Am I going to fish for the rest of my life, go out to sea, and be a fisherman forever? I have to change my career after I make money, do something easier, otherwise what's the point of making money? You still feel reluctant to let your eldest grandson, Ahai, go out to sea and suffer."

"That's different, he's my grandson..."

"I am also a grandson, the old lady's sweetheart, who is lower in status than who?"

"Besides fishing, how else can you make money? How else can you make money? Do you think that money is so easy to make, and you can make money without knowing it? Don't be ignorant of the world. Apart from fishing, it is not so easy to make money for you."

"You're underestimating me, aren't you? I can't do other things, but can't I buy a house? Can't I buy land?"

Ye Yaodong was very proud of himself. He was completely clueless about everything else. He knew that buying land would never go wrong. It was the safest deal and it would be very profitable. Moreover, he didn't need to buy a lot.

Doing other things will result in losses, but buying land and houses will never let him down.

Although he has enough money to spend now, buying some land and houses and leaving them there will also be a guarantee for future generations.

Now that he has returned to this era, whether he does anything else or not, can't he buy land?

In the past few years, policies had not yet been implemented, and the boundaries of various policies were very vague. There was chaos everywhere, and people did not dare to run around. Now there has been a severe crackdown, and it is still ongoing. Public security in various places has improved.

It is now 1988, and it is a good time to go to Shanghai and see Shanghai during its period of rapid development.

Father Ye was stunned for a moment, "Are you still thinking about buying land in the Magic City?"

"I have this idea."

I originally wanted to visit the shipyard, but since I was there, it would be unreasonable not to visit the famous Pudong.

"Can you see it? Don't buy it or it will be taken by the locals."

"Now that there are more legal regulations, it should be much better if the formalities are completed more completely, the contract is written more clearly, and the necessary records are filed."

If you want to take advantage and make money, there will always be troubles. This is unavoidable.

If he makes it clear in advance, if a dispute really arises, he will be the party with the reason and evidence. At most, he will be ordered to pay a little compensation, but he will definitely make a profit.

"What's the point of buying land everywhere? We can just buy land at our own place."

"What's the point of returning the land? Are you stupid? Population is the foundation of development, and land is the lifeline. No matter how much land you have, it's not too much. So what if it's far away? After all, it's a big city. A piece of land in a big city is much more valuable than the land in our small place."

Ye's father couldn't argue with him, and he was right no matter what he said, so he didn't say much.

"It's nonsense. Just do it yourself. It's your own money after all. You can do whatever you want with it."

"So in about half a month, you will have to take my shift to deliver goods."

Before setting a time, he gave a rough estimate. Anyway, the approximate time had been mentioned in the previous Lin Ji, so it was estimated that it would not be off by more than a few days.

"I know," Ye's father muttered, "It's good that I don't have to drive anymore. You still want me to make a million dollars? What the hell..."

"What's the point of having a millionaire? When your grandchildren get married, you'll have a lot of money to spend."

Father Ye was puzzled, "What do you mean? Don't you parents have the responsibility to help your grandchildren get married?"

"Mom said that when her grandchildren get married, regardless of whether they are boys or girls, she will pay half of the betrothal gift and half of the dowry."

Father Ye had just heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable.

The money of these two old people cannot be taken into the coffin. Now they have saved a lot of money, and it is reasonable for them to give some to their grandchildren when they get married.

"Your mother is right. We will do as she says when the time comes."

"So if you earn a little more now and work a few more years, maybe 20 years later, the bride price will rise to a sky-high price, haha..."

Even if they emptied their savings, they didn’t know if they could raise half of the dowry for their grandchildren.

"How is that possible? It's only a few hundred or 1000 yuan at most. This is already more than ten times more than when we got married."

“Haha…so it’s not rising?”

"Don't be such a pessimist. If your mother and I continue to work for a few more years, we can still afford to give some gifts and dowries to our grandchildren."

"Then you should work for a few more years."

"You wish I'd die."

"That's not the case. After all, he is my biological child, not someone I picked up."

Father Ye quickly shoveled his meal in, suddenly feeling the urgency of making money again.

"Ah Jiang, Cheng He, have you finished eating? Let's go..."

"Hurry up. Stop wasting time. You've been eating for so long and you're still chattering. Are you guys eating or chatting?"

Ye Chengjiang looked up in surprise, "Didn't you say that the sun was very strong at noon and we shouldn't work so hard and take a nap after lunch?"

"If you don't work harder, earn more, and be more active while you're young, you'll be crying when you're old. Hurry up..."

Ye Chenghe whispered: "You don't have much free time now that you are old, don't you still have to work?"

The two brothers looked at each other, then looked up at the scorching sun, and had no choice but to put away their lunch boxes and follow him.

Although they really want to make money, they don't want to go out to earn money in the middle of the day when it's extremely hot. What's more, they are making a lot of money now, so it doesn't matter if they earn a little less at noon every day.

Ye Yaodong suddenly felt that his father was full of energy.

I just said fuck it.

In addition to benefits, people also need some pressure. Only with pressure can there be motivation.

So, for the sake of face and to be able to give dowry money to their grandchildren, old men have to forge ahead bravely.

Ye Yaodong didn't just want to go to the Magic City himself, he also wanted to persuade his elder and second brothers, but they were all at sea and hadn't returned yet, and no one knew when they would return.

According to his father, it won’t take more than 5 days, and he will probably have to come back to rest. We can encourage them then.

Anyway, his friends are all lazy by nature. When he mentioned going to Shanghai, several of them immediately agreed to go with him to have a look and broaden their horizons, without him having to say anything.

Sometimes it’s not that he doesn’t want to help his elder and second brothers, but that they are too conservative and want to be safe. Sometimes it’s too difficult and they have to turn around on their own.

But his friends are different. They all share the same interests. Whenever he says something, they immediately agree with him. So naturally, his friends follow him closely.

But today I heard from his father that his elder brother and second brother are also thinking of buying another boat and working separately.

They have made a lot of money in the past six months, and the profits are visible. Moreover, being away from home has probably broadened their horizons and they have some ideas and ambitions.

These conservative people will not dare to do anything until they have tasted the sweetness. This is normal, and most people are like this.

It is very rare for people to follow others without thinking. It is impossible for them to bet everything just by listening to a few words from others.

His elder brother and second brother are now at the forefront. They are not as good as others, but better than most. They are considered wealthy in the village, which is pretty good.

Otherwise, his sister-in-law would not be so generous as to set such a high dowry for Ye Chenghe's wife. It was just that she had enough money, and she was the first grandchild.

Their family is well-known and it would be a relief if they gave more betrothal gifts.

Then I can go to Shanghai with him and buy two pieces of land, and I will have no worries in my life.

Lin Ji was probably very busy after coming to Zhou City. Ye Yaodong hadn't seen him for five consecutive days. He originally wanted to ask him how the cargo ship to the Magic City was going.
Now I can only ask the people in the cafeteria to leave a message and ask them to pass it on when they see it, and ask Lin Ji to come back to find him in the evening.

Only people in the cafeteria can probably see him occasionally.

I heard that sometimes he goes out before dawn and comes back in the middle of the night. He occasionally appears in the cafeteria to eat breakfast, but sometimes he is not seen for several days. He is like a dragon that is hard to find.

He was not in a hurry at first. If he couldn't go this month, he could go next month. But Fatty and the others were more anxious than him. They asked him every day when he would go to Shanghai and they couldn't wait to fly there.

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry.

After the person who arranged the canteen passed the message, he finally saw someone just as it was getting dark.

There was a beard on Linji, and Fengchen Pupu went to see him as soon as he came back, and asked him straight away what was the matter.

This made Ye Yaodong feel a little embarrassed. He suddenly couldn't speak. The other person was so busy, and he still asked about such trivial matters.

He smiled awkwardly. "I wanted to ask you how the new sea freight route is going. I haven't seen you for a week."

"It's arranged. The routes of the two new ships are both to Shanghai. There are more goods in Shanghai, so it's easier to receive orders."

"That's good. Did calling you back today affect your work?"

"I just finished my work and planned to come back early to rest today. I'm exhausted from working day and night these past few days. Would you like to go for a massage? Let's relax together?"

Suddenly, several people jumped out from behind Ye Yaodong, all of them were very happy.

"Okay, okay, let's go together!"

“It’s more fun when there are more people!”

"Great, we've just finished our meal!"

Lin Jishang looked at them in surprise.

Ye Yaodong elbowed each of them, "Where did you come from?"

"I just came out of the cafeteria after dinner, and was thinking of calling you to play cards, but I saw you guys talking here, so I thought of eavesdropping."

"You are very honest!"

Ah Zheng chuckled, "You two are standing on the side of the road and talking. It doesn't look like you are talking about any secrets, so there shouldn't be anything you shouldn't be able to hear."

"We listened to his nonsense and thought that you had been looking for A Shang to ask about the liner these days. We thought you should talk about this, so we wanted to get closer and listen." A Guang explained.

The fat man also glared at Ah Zheng, "Can we eavesdrop on people's conversations blindly? We only approached because we knew what you were talking about."

Lin Jishang smiled and said, "You guys have a good relationship."

"Yeah, yeah, we grew up together and do everything together."

"So of course the massage has to go along with it."

"Haha, let's go get a massage together."

"Let's share this blessing together. Dongzi will treat us!"

Ah Zheng put his arm around Lin Jishang's shoulder while standing on tiptoe to put his arm around Ye Yaodong's.

"You damn, you know how to arrange it, you treat us!"

"Please, please, please, please!"

"Go to hell, if you're not tall enough, don't embarrass yourself by standing on tiptoe!"

"Fuck you, you're making a personal attack!"

"Dongzi, do you want to call our father?" A Guang asked with a smile.

"Fuck, you are more filial than me."

Lin Ji looked at them strangely, "You are all very filial... but you want to take me with you too?"

"Of course, my father-in-law has worked hard for half his life, so when it's time to enjoy himself, of course he should enjoy himself."

Ye Yaodong asked back: "Why don't you bring your father with you?"

Ah Zheng laughed, "You don't know, do you? He took his father with him last time, and now his father is enjoying himself, he doesn't need anyone to take him, he just went there on his own, staggering with his hands behind his back."

"Good son."

"Your father worked hard for half his life, and my father also worked hard for half his life. My father suffered more than your father, and my mother died a long time ago."

"That's right, then it's indeed time for your father to enjoy himself."

Lin Ji looked at them with a frown on his face, no wonder they could get together.
