Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1483 So that’s it
After Ye Yaodong's wife came, he never left the room, nor did he care about the three children. He just stayed in the room with Lin Xiuqing.

Lin Xiuqing told him to stop and stop staying in the house making fun of others, and to go out and look after the children.

He turned a deaf ear.

"They are so old, they can play by themselves, the older ones can watch over the younger ones, why do they need me to watch over them? Just let them play by themselves, they won't get lost, everything has been taken care of. You go to sleep, I'll take a nap too, don't worry about it."

"You've been in the house all the time, making people laugh..."

"Psycho, who's laughing at me? My wife is here, spend more time with her, is there anything wrong with that? Ignore those idiots, they are just bored, they will play cards soon, no one dares to laugh at you."

Or just to make fun of him.

"Or I can go out for a walk. I just got here and I haven't been out to look around..."

Ye Yaodong pinched her waist and pressed on her, "Why are you going? There are plenty of opportunities to go. Just lie down and take a rest. Aren't you complaining about being tired? I'll take you guys for a good walk tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing was suppressed by him and had no choice but to follow him.

She was indeed tired, but she was not as energetic as her two sons. After sitting on the boat for such a long time, they were still full of energy and could run, jump and play.

She just felt exhausted and weak all over. After coming, she was tormented by him repeatedly. Now she really just wanted to have a good sleep first.

Ye Yaodong was tired after finishing his work, so he hugged his wife and slept together.

When the sun set and a cold wind blew, there was a banging sound on the door and people calling for their parents one after another.

This also woke up the couple who were still sleeping.

"I'm here, stop knocking." Ye Yaodong shrank his neck, shook his body, put on his clothes and pants before opening the door.

"Open the door quickly, Dad, open it quickly..."

"so cold……"

When he opened the door, three... no... four people came in one after another, complaining loudly.

"Why are you so slow..."

"It's so cold outside, and the wind is so strong..."

"Mom, you guys have been sleeping all the time. Didn't you go out?"

"Are we going to stay here tonight? This bed is pressing against my head..."

"Aren't we staying in the bungalow tonight?"

As soon as the two brothers entered the house, they started talking non-stop. On the other hand, the two girls were playing with rabbits and chatting.

Lin Xiuqing responded: "You have been on the boat for many days, aren't you tired at all?"

"Not tired, we still want to play, but it's too cold outside and the sun is out. Grandpa told me to come back inside and play, not outside." Ye Chenghu replied.

"That's good. If I don't sleep at noon, I can go to bed early at night."

"Mom, have you been sleeping?"

"Well, I was very tired after sitting on the boat for many days, so I slept for the whole afternoon. I was just woken up by you guys."

Ye Chengyang asked: "Dad, where are we going to sleep? This bed is so small!"

"You can sleep wherever you want, up or down, it's your choice."

"On top, I want on top."

Ye Chenghu also rushed to grab it, "I want to sleep on it too."

Ye Xiaoxi was originally squatting with Pei Yu playing with the rabbit, and seeing them fighting for it, she didn't want to be left behind, "I want to sleep on it too."

"Forget about you, you're too small and you'll fall down. Let them sleep on top and you sleep with me." Lin Xiuqing said as she put on her clothes.

"I'm just going to sleep..."

"Be obedient. If you don't, I'll leave you at home to look after the house. I'll take your mother and your two brothers to the Magic City and won't take you to live in the villa."

She pouted and stopped talking.

The two brothers no longer sleep together. Each of them will sleep in his own bed, and the two have already been assigned their seats.

Ye Yaodong also moved the unused beds over and asked A Qing to make them for them.

After he had made the beds for the night, he led his family of five downstairs to get food. However, as soon as they walked out, the children standing in the corridor didn't want to go out because of the wind.

They didn't force him. The wind was too strong and the temperature at night was at least 10 degrees lower than during the day. It was already below zero. Add to that the cold wind and he didn't want to go out unless someone brought him food.

Lin Xiuqing tightened the scarf around her neck, covering half of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed, "It's much colder here than at home..."

"Yes, did you come up with a hat on?"

"No."

"Then I'll take you to buy some tomorrow. It's too cold, so you need to wear a hat and cover your ears. You should stay indoors and I'll buy you some food."

"No, I'll go with you. Otherwise, how can you hold it with both hands? Besides, I've been here for quite some time, so I have to show up. I haven't even seen my father yet."

"It doesn't matter. You'll see it tomorrow."

"I've been staying in the house since I came here this afternoon. I haven't seen what this side looks like yet, so I'll take a look around and take a look when the time comes."

"alright."

It’s not even dark yet and not many people have come back yet. I guess they are still selling goods.

Before going to the cafeteria to get food, Ye Yaodong took her for a walk. Originally, the place was not very big after the houses were built, and after walking around the houses, the layout and location were all in her mind, and it didn't take a few minutes.

At this time, everyone was basically in the cafeteria eating, chatting, and bragging, but there were not many people watching.

They hadn't gone in yet, and when they looked in from outside, they didn't see many people.

"No one has come back yet?"

"Most of them haven't come back yet. They usually come back after selling their goods around 6 or 7 or 7 or 8 in the evening. It gets dark quickly in winter, so not many people come back at this time."

"Oh, now there's a cafeteria here. It's convenient for people who come back late. They can have a hot meal when they come back. Otherwise, they have to cook it themselves."

"That's right. Last year, everyone worked until 7 or 8 and had to cook when they got back. It was already 9 or 10 at night when we had dinner. Having Fatty run the canteen has made things more convenient for everyone and saved me a lot of trouble. I don't have to make special arrangements for logistics to buy food and cook, and I don't have to keep track of the bills."

"That's good. They make money and we can save trouble."

As they were talking, they pushed open the door of the cafeteria and went in. There were familiar faces inside, and everyone greeted the couple when they saw them.

Lin Xiuqing also looked at everyone with a smile.

Father Ye asked, "How many children are there?"

"The wind was too strong, so we didn't let them come down. We bought some food and took it home to eat, so they wouldn't have to run back and forth and get cold."

Father Ye nodded and said nothing.

The two of them ordered their food and left.

There was only a rectangular desk and a long stool in their room. The table top was bumpy and had many holes. It was made of solid wood.

The two boys had never eaten outside like this before, and they immediately found it very novel. Even Pei Yu sat in a row with them and had dinner together.

"Dad, when are we going to the Magic City?"

Ye Yaodong was helpless. He had already answered this kind of questions countless times, such as: When are we going to Shanghai? When are we going to live in the villa? When will my mother come up?
"I just answered it this afternoon. The day after tomorrow! Pay attention to your ears and stop asking questions with your mouth. The day after tomorrow morning!"

Ye Chenghu was stared at, so he shrank his neck and laughed awkwardly a few times.

"Hey, got it. Then shall we play here all day tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Is there anything fun here?"

Ye Xiaoxi rushed to say, "No, it's not fun here. There's nothing to do here. The Magic City is fun. Dad took us to visit the Magic City on a motorcycle. There were so many people, so many cars, so big shops, so tall buildings! The roads were clean."

"Don't talk so much while eating." Ye Yaodong warned her.

"Sister...can I go with you?"

"of course can!"

"You agreed so straightforwardly. You can't even go yourself, so why are you taking her with you?"

Ye Xiaoxi's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was still stuffed full of rice, like a bulging puffer fish.

"Why! I want to go!"

"You have to call your uncle before you can go. The motorcycle can't accommodate so many people."

Pei Yu immediately put down his chopsticks and stopped eating, "I'm going to find Dad."

The next day, not only A Guang wanted to go, but the other two who had nothing else to do also wanted to go, saying that they were going to buy New Year's goods. Only Fatty was busier and couldn't leave.

Ye Yaodong didn't care. They were free anyway, so he might as well go with him to help him look after the children.

This year New Year’s Eve is on January 1th, and today is the tenth day of the first lunar month.

They must arrive home at the latest before the New Year, and preferably on the 20th day of the New Year.

Ye Yaodong got up early in the morning and looked at the calendar. He would probably stay here for about 10 more days, which was just enough time for him to travel around the whole Magic City with his wife and children.

He will definitely have to set aside two days to reconcile the accounts and pay the workers' wages.

The factory's four ships will also deliver goods throughout the month from New Year's Day to the end of the year.

He decided to simply ask the factory manager to change the delivery date to the same day instead of one delivery at a time. Anyway, the goods were delivered in advance, and he couldn't let the workers sail the ship out to make money now.

Unification will be planned after the new year.

Ye Yaodong not only took Lin Xiuqing shopping today, she also took her to the shipyard to visit the ship that was about to be delivered.

Although she has many boats at home, she has never been to a shipyard. Today was her first time there. She stared at them with a look of amazement on her face.

Not only her, but also her two sons, looked more excited than anyone else.

"Dad, this is the shipyard! It's so big!"

"It turns out that Brother Hai works in a shipyard like this. It's so impressive. I want to be like him..."

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chenghu with disdain, "That's all you can do."

"What? If I can work here in the future, how promising it will be! Dad, you will be proud of it too. The village will definitely praise you for having a good son!"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing, "It's true that you'll be laughed at to death, you silly boy."

"Why? Isn't it enviable to work in such a big factory?"

Ye Yaodong couldn't hold it in any longer. "Aren't you envied by everyone now?"

"Why are you jealous of me because I have so many toys?"

"Mad, I envy you for having a good father. If you didn't have a good father, would you have so many toys and would all the children in the village envy you and listen to you?"

"Yes, they envy me for having a good father. Their parents are reluctant to buy them toys, and will beat them if they ask for them..."

"Stop talking so much. It seems like you are destined to be a part-time worker."

Ye Chenghu didn't understand what his father meant, but seeing the man walking inside again, he hurried to follow.

Ye Yaodong and his friends walked around for a while before Director Shen came over.

"Huh? Are you bringing your wife and kids with you this time?"

"Yes, the New Year is coming soon. My wife finally made some time, so I asked someone to pick her up to play for a few days, and then we can go back together when the New Year is almost over."

"What a good man! I didn't expect your son to be this big already."

"We get married early in the countryside."

"It's too early. They say the legal age is 20 or 22, but most people get married at 24 or . My daughter is already . It's so worrying."

"Why worry? Comrade Shen is beautiful, a returnee, and works in a bank. The number of people who want to be your son-in-law can be queued from here to Beijing."

"Ha ha……"

Lin Xiuqing's ears stood up.

But they didn't talk anymore and just talked about the fishing boat.

Ye Yaodong took Lin Xiuqing to see the ships to be delivered, and then decided to deliver his four ships together. He chose a day and sailed away together before the New Year when he was free.

By the way, he also asked Director Shen whether there were any chances of getting a bargain like in the previous few months, and whether anyone had produced half of the product but changed their mind because of the price increase.

Every time he came, he would ask as usual.

Not surprisingly, this time it also failed.

Everyone is angry about the price increase and doesn't want to ship, but it's mostly a temporary thing. Once they hear that prices have also increased in other places, they basically accept it with a pinch of their nose.

Even if they said they wanted to return the item after the argument, they would still come over to make amends after they realized what was happening. He was lucky at the time because he came not long after the price had increased across the board and bought the item before the other person could change his mind.

This time is different from the beginning when prices started to rise across the board. Most people were not prepared at that time, but now everyone knows that the cost of building a ship is incomparable to before.

Lin Xiuqing waited until they walked out of the factory before asking, "How many ships do we have? How many more have you reserved at the shipyard?"

"You know the 17 small boats. After the delivery of two new ships, including the Dongsheng, there will be 2. There is also a 5-meter fishing boat, which was converted into a seafood collection boat and delivered together. Yuanyang No. 30 is making money now, and No. 1 and No. 2 will be delivered soon. There are also two other seafood collection boats."

"28?"

"Yes, and this shipyard has two more 45-meter ships to be delivered next year or the year after. I have also ordered two 45-meter ships in Shanghai, which will also be delivered next year or the year after."

Lin Xiuqing clicked her tongue, a little surprised. There were still so many undelivered ones? And they were all large fishing boats.

"You...you are quite amazing..."

"I also plan to order a large freshwater ship of 50 to 60 meters later. Otherwise, when these ships are available in two years, I won't be able to receive the goods."

After all, he didn't just collect his own goods, he also wanted to collect the goods on the ships of other brothers and friends.

Now the two fresh-collecting boats are just right for collecting the cargo from the existing fishing boats, and they can still have some free time to work one day and rest the next. But in two years, when there are more boats, they will not be able to handle the work.

"This... so much goods, can you sell them?"

"So, I'm thinking about using another piece of land to build a processing plant. I'll build one on a small scale in the next two years. If I can really make money, I'll expand it slowly. In a few years, our fishing boats will have more cargo, and we'll be self-sufficient."

He has spent the past year here in vain. He has traveled around in his spare time and supplied goods to several processing plants. He has learned a little bit about it and is thinking of giving it a try.

Otherwise, it would be a bit passive with so many goods, it would be better to keep them in our own hands.

Moreover, there are really too many seafood processing factories here. This year, many small workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the original small workshops have gradually grown bigger.

Many of the barren lands last year are now covered with small workshops. A small workshop has also been built not far from his other piece of land of about 5 mu.

This port has natural resources and convenient raw materials. my country is in the initial stage and lacks everything. As long as you are willing to work hard, making money is as easy as picking up money.

Take Chen Jianian for example. He met the factory at the beginning of the year and helped them a little. He provided the factory with goods for three months and asked Chen Jianian to pay off all the debt owed to the factory.

He could continue to supply the factory with goods and make a little money from it. Chen Jianian also recovered because he could also earn a commission by helping him introduce the goods to the factory.

As for him, he was not in a hurry for Chen Jianian to pay back the money. He paid him the agency fee for each transaction and let him accumulate it first.

Anyway, the factory was introduced by Chen Jianian, and he is still supplying goods now.

Now he has set up a small workshop with his accumulated savings, and it is doing very well. Not long after, he actually paid him back 1 yuan last month.

This also surprised him. It was just a small workshop that had only been in operation for two or three months, but he could get 1 yuan back directly.

He estimated that by the Chinese New Year, Chen Jianian would probably be able to pay back the tens of thousands of yuan he owed him. After all, the New Year was the peak period for shipments and settlements.

Ye Yaodong also told Lin Xiuqing about this matter.

Lin Xiuqing knew that Ye Yaodong bought goods and paid for them in installments to Chen Jianian, so she was helping him, but she didn't realize that by just helping him casually, she could actually pull him out of the water.

She was also surprised when she heard that.

“And then he turned over?”

"It seems so. After all, he is very hardworking. He dared to follow me to Vancouver a few years ago. Later, something happened. Although he escaped, he was able to come here alone to fight. He is very hardworking."

I have a fighting spirit, and only if I love to fight can I win.

"So you have become this family's great benefactor now?"

"How can I put it? I was partly responsible for the cause, so helping him out can be considered as fulfilling the cause and effect. If he can remember my kindness, then I'm happy. If he doesn't remember my kindness, then I don't care."

Anyway, he looked quite miserable at that time. He was about to turn things around, but then he was beaten back to his original state and suffered even more.

This man cried bitterly out of guilt when he thought of the people he had killed, and he also wanted to make money to make up for it, which shows that it is not unacceptable and he has a conscience.

If I really make a lot of money and can go back to my hometown to compensate the victims' families, it will be a comfort to the victims' families, although it will be late but it will come.

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "That's good too. We can't think too badly of people. We rely on our parents at home and rely on our friends when we go out. If we can help those who are out, let alone acquaintances, if the strangers we meet are in too bad a situation, we will definitely help them to the best of our ability."

"That's right, be kind to others."

"It's up to you. I don't understand these things. You travel around a lot now and have seen a lot of the world. You decide. You have money now."

"I have to tell you and discuss it with you even if I have money!"

"You are quite talkative now. Why didn't I see you being so willing to negotiate before?"

"It's all because of your short-sightedness. You opposed everything I did and always thought I was unreliable. So can I really refer to your opinions? I definitely think I'm right, so I'll do it and talk about it after I'm done. By the time you agree, it's too late."

"Yes, yes, yes. I am short-sighted and have a woman's perspective. But I am just trying to protect this family and the wealth I have. I am tired of being poor. If I have some money, of course I want to save some and hold it in my hands, in case I get into trouble and lose it all."

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Anyway, everyone has their own reasons and no one is wrong.

It was also because he had extra memories, otherwise he would be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and would be restrained and dare not do anything, just like his elder and second brothers. They are normal.

"Then do you want to go and take a look at Chen Jianian's small workshop?"

"No, I've been there a long time ago, so you don't have to go. There's no need for you to come into contact with him, I can just come into contact with him."

Ye Yaodong didn't want Lin Xiuqing to come into contact with too many messy people.

In his opinion, Chen Jianian was a messy person with stains, and he didn't want her to be involved in too many complicated things.

"Okay, so where do we go now?"

"I'll take you to see the land and shop I bought. It's my own property, so of course I have to let you recognize it."

"Row."

Ye Yaodong not only took her to see the land, but also took her to see some factories and small workshops in the surrounding area.

Although people are not allowed to enter, you can still see what they are working on by looking at the door.

Let her know a little bit more.

The three children were so bored that they said there was nowhere to go and nothing to play with, and they kept asking to go back.

He simply sent the three back, and then the couple slowly walked around again, talking about planning and arrangements for the land.

Without the children getting in the way, it is much easier for the two of them to talk. They don't have to be distracted by looking at the children and stop talking all the time.

Ye Yaodong also decided to wait until after the New Year. It was not suitable to do anything before the New Year. It was only suitable to count the accounts and go home for the New Year.

"Let's go to the bank and check your deposits. Didn't you say that you had 50 in the bank? Was it in the bank where Director Shen's daughter was?"

"Yes, I've encountered this several times. This woman kept asking me to make deposits. She also kept asking me to apply for a loan before, and she told me the benefits."

"So..." Lin Xiuqing's eyes were no longer clear, "So you borrowed 20 yuan? And then deposited another 50 yuan into it?"

"Yes, I don't think it's a scam. I can get 20 yuan directly from the bank without interest, which is a good thing. I can make money by depositing it. She kept talking about the deposit later, and I thought it would be good to help her with her performance..."

“Then I saved 20, and then another 30.”

"Yes, after saving it for a year, I feel it's pretty stable. It's just sitting there anyway, and we can't put all the money in, but it's good to save some and earn some interest. It's a win-win situation, good for her and for me."

"Oh, so, you seem quite familiar then?"

"It's just so-so, he drinks and admits it..." Ye Yaodong reacted instantly.
