Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1506 Lin Guangyuan's Plan
Thinking that Lin Guangyuan would come over in the afternoon, Ye Yaodong went out in the morning and did not go out again after lunch.

It was his father who delivered the message yesterday, and he didn't know the exact time. His father was also confused and didn't know how to ask clearly. He could only take a nap at home and wait.

Lin Guangming and Lin Guangwen knew that Lin Guangyuan would come over in the afternoon, so they waited excitedly early in the morning.

Originally, those who drive the trucks have nothing to do. As long as they go out to pick up the goods when the fresh food boat comes back in the afternoon, they can have nothing to do in the morning.

It is equivalent to working only in the afternoon and evening, and resting in the morning.

Because they had just arrived recently, they were getting along very well with Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe. After obtaining Ye Yaodong's consent, they could drive a tractor out with them every morning and follow them around to earn some extra money.

Ye Yaodong agreed because he wanted them to follow Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe for a run so that they could become more familiar with the map.

When you arrive in a new place, of course you have to get familiar with the roads in the city. Making extra money is secondary.

Anyway, they would only be asked to run for half a day, so they must be kept on standby in the afternoon. He couldn't put the cart before the horse. It just so happened that he had an empty tractor.

After the two brothers came back at noon, they did not follow Ye's father and the others out, but waited at home.

Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe naturally followed their father as usual, as making money was more attractive to them. They were much older than Lin Guangyuan and their relationship was average. Ye Chenghai had a better relationship with Lin Guangyuan, but he was not there.

The two brothers were bored waiting, so they squatted on either side of Ye Yaodong and talked in a long-winded manner, which made him tired of listening.

"No one will come so soon. Can you please stop crowding around me? It's so hot and you're still sticking close to me. Don't you know that you two are like furnaces?"

They raised their arms and pressed them against their faces, and indeed felt their bodies getting hot. Then they all moved a step to the side in tacit understanding.

"Is this okay?" Lin Guangming asked.

Ye Yaodong stood up and went upstairs. "I'm going to take a nap. I don't care about you guys. You just wait here. Go to the room and call me when I arrive."

"Oh fine."

He just wanted to squat there and smoke a cigarette quietly after dinner and enjoy the cool air, but you didn't even give him a quiet space. It was so tactless.

A cigarette after dinner makes you feel as happy as a god.

These two are relatively honest and haven't learned to smoke yet, but they feel that they will soon become smokers. After all, they hang out with Ajiang Chenghe and the others every day, and birds of a feather flock together.

He was a little surprised that after learning to drive for a year with his master, he still didn't learn how to smoke.

Ye Yaodong held a cigarette in his mouth and went upstairs. The midday sun was scorching. He was sweating profusely after climbing to the third floor. He felt that it was a mistake. He shouldn't have lived so high up. He would be soaked every day going up and down the stairs.

Lin Guangyuan arrived at around 2 pm. As soon as he came in, he greeted Lin Guangming and Lin Guangwen excitedly, and then the three of them looked up and shouted towards the upstairs.

"Uncle-in-law~"

The loud voice woke Ye Yaodong up from his sleep. He sat up in shock and the shouting continued downstairs.

"This bastard..."

He was in his shorts, threw his vest over his back, opened the door and went out, then lay prone on the porch, looking at the three people standing in a row below, with their hands to their mouths acting as megaphones.

"Shut up, I heard you."

"Uncle, are you coming down or are we going up?"

"You guys come up, so I don't have to climb up and down and get so hot that I die."

"okay."

The three young men came up directly.

It was much cooler outside than inside, so Ye Yaodong leaned against the corridor to enjoy the fresh air.

"Uncle-in-law~" The three of them just appeared from the corner and started jogging and shouting.

"If there's no stool to sit on, why don't we just stand and talk?"

"It's okay, just stand. I'm used to standing."

Lin Guangyuan smiled, revealing his beige teeth, which made his teeth look several shades whiter compared to his dark face.

Ye Yaodong looked at his straight body and smiled and sighed, "The army is really good for training people. He used to walk with a hunched back, but now he walks straight and tall."

"Haha, being trained like steel every day, isn't that right?"

"I haven't seen you for more than two years, right? You've grown a lot taller, almost catching up with me."

Lin Guangming agreed, "He's almost a head taller than me."

Lin Guangwen joked with a smile, "That's because you are short. Brother Yuan is only half a head taller than me."

"I have good food in the army. Not only do we have seafood every day, but we also have meat twice a week and eggs three times a week. Suddenly, I grew taller."

Lin Guangming retorted, "In the past few years, our family conditions have improved, the food is not bad, and we can eat meat every day, but we haven't grown taller."

"That's genetic. Eating meat every day won't save you."

Ye Yaodong interrupted their banter, "You joined the army in the fall of 86, right? You will be discharged next year, right?"

"Yes, he should be discharged next year, but after his service is over, he can serve for an additional year based on the needs of the army and his personal wishes."

"Are you planning to serve a year beyond your term?"

The other two brothers also looked at Lin Guangyuan in surprise. Lin Guangming couldn't help but said, "You will be 22 when you are released next year. If you serve another year, you will be 23. Your family will be worried sick."

Lin Guangyuan glared at him, "Can you speak? What do you mean by let him go?"

Lin Guangming scratched his head and laughed, "Aren't they all the same?"

Lin Guangwen added, "He's still a bald guy."

"Are you blind? I have a buzz cut, not a bald head."

Ye Yaodong ended their meaningless conversation and asked, "You plan to serve for an extra year. Have you called your family to tell them?"

"Not yet. If I say anything, they'll start to grumble on the phone."

"I have already selected more than a dozen girls, and I am waiting for you to come home next year to pick one. I guarantee that I will let you marry a wife by the New Year next year."

Lin Guangyuan stared at Lin Guangming with a frown on his face.

"Why are you glaring at me? I didn't find it for you. Before I came here, mom specifically told me to tell you if I ran into you, to call and write more often, and it would be best if I could take a leave to go home and get married."

"Noisy."

"I'm just telling my mother what to say. I don't want to be disliked."

"Go back and tell her that I will not retire and go back. I will stay and serve as a volunteer soldier."

"what?"

Ye Yaodong was also surprised, "Are you planning to stay in the army for a long time?"

"I have this plan. Anyway, my father has more than one son. Ming has also learned to drive a truck and is quite promising. He doesn't necessarily need me to stay by his side."

"I dare not tell you that. You can call back and tell them yourself."

Lin Guangming shook his head wildly to refuse. He had already imagined how he would be scolded by his parents for saying this.

Now that the family is well off, his parents make a lot of money from the breakfast shop alone, so they bought two shops, one for each of his two brothers, and are waiting for his elder brother to return from the army to inherit the family business.

If I tell them now that their eldest son will not come back, they will be so disappointed. Although being a soldier is good, if the family is wealthy, they naturally want their children to be around.

"Then I'll tell them later, maybe next year. It's too early to tell them now."

Ye Yaodong said, "Then I suggest you tell them now. If it's next year, they will have been looking forward to your return since the beginning of the year. If you suddenly do this at that time, they will be very disappointed. It's better to tell them now in advance so that they don't have to have expectations and then be disappointed."

"Okay, I'll call them when I have time."

Lin Guangming interrupted again, "What about your lifelong event? Mother is thinking about getting you married."

"I think you worry more than mother."

"I... I just ran into you, didn't I? Then I can only worry about my mother and tell her what she meant."

"The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious to death. No, it's the eunuchs around the chief eunuch who are anxious to death."

"Fuck you, how can you say that about your own brother?" Lin Guangming protested angrily.

"Who told you to be so long-winded and keep getting married? If you want to get married, go ahead and get married."

"It's not that I want to get married, it's clearly my mother who has been telling me to talk to you more when I see you."

"Shut up, long-winded."

Lin Guangyuan opened his hand and covered his face with it, then turned his head to the side, hoping to avoid seeing it.

"I'll only be out for two hours. I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I'm tired of hearing it on the phone. Don't want Xianglin Sao to possess you."

"I am in a hurry."

Lin Guangyuan turned his back to him and didn't even look at him.

"Uncle, I want to ask how many boats you have now? My grandfather said you have dozens of boats now."

"About 30 in total, big and small."

"Grass, is that really all?"

"Of course, I'm not here for nothing."

“Are you short of workers?”

"What? You want to introduce your retired comrade to me as a boatman?"

Lin Guangyuan nodded, "Yes, yes, I have several good comrades-in-arms who are not from the city. After their service is over, they can only go back to where they came from. Those who farm at home can only go back to continue farming."

"You can either try to perform better and serve for another year, or you can try to become a volunteer soldier after serving for five years."

"Some people have poor family conditions and a lot of younger brothers and sisters to support, and they rely on the little allowance they get from serving in the army to be sent back home."

"You don't know how poor some people are. A family can only earn a few dollars a year from the fields. They can barely feed themselves and even have trouble paying for school."

"When we chatted about our families, they were all quite confused and worried about how they would support their families after their military service was over."

The spring breeze of reform and opening up first blew across the coastal areas, but life in inland areas, especially in mountainous areas, was still very hard, and farmers had only a few dollars left throughout the year.

"When I occasionally call home, I always hear my dad talking about you buying another boat. I wonder if you need more manpower with so many boats."

"If nothing else, they are definitely good at swimming, can endure hardships and have good character. Moreover, if you can take them over, the army will definitely guarantee them and reward you."

Lin Guangyuan looked at Ye Yaodong expectantly.

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that he came for his comrades, and the two of them thought the same thing.

However, he didn't think about working on the fishing boat. He was thinking that the small factory he had built would need manpower.

However, there is no sign of the factory yet, and he is not sure what it will look like. He dare not say how many people it can accommodate, but for fishing boats, it is okay to finalize the number of people first.

There must be a lot of veterans in the army, and his small temple can't accommodate too many of them, but it will definitely be beneficial to accept more.

By then, the entire factory will be staffed mainly by veterans, and the local government will definitely give him preferential treatment. His factory, which is not yet complete, feels like it is halfway to success...

"Have you ever thought about this? I've had the fishing boat for so long. I can't just leave it there idle. The workers on the boat must be well-organized and fully equipped."

When Lin Guangyuan heard this, he was disappointed and felt that he was daydreaming. How could he leave the fishing boat idle just to receive veterans next year?

"All right……"

"However, I still have four large ships of more than 4 meters in length under production, and a 40-meter fishing boat of 60 tons. These ships will be delivered from the end of this year to the end of next year."

Lin Guangyuan's eyes sparkled with hope, and his mouth opened wide in surprise, "So many? These ships must cost millions."

The two guys next to him had only heard the quantity and didn't know the value, so their eyes widened when they heard this.

"What?"

"Ah? Millions?"

"Fuck..."

"Oh my god, millions? The boat that my uncle hasn't even gotten yet is worth millions?"

"Then won't the cost of the 20-plus boats on hand be even higher?"

"Fuck..."

“I’ll have to earn this in several lifetimes…”

The two guys kept saying "Fuck" and their speech became incoherent.

Ye Yaodong avoided the main point and did not answer their exclamation or explain the value to them. Instead, he directly told Lin Guangyuan: "We can accept some of the staff, but we are not sure how many people we can accept now."

"After all, I'm not sure when my ship will be delivered, and it won't coincide with your discharge."

"If you had been discharged earlier, it would have been fine. You could have stayed here and waited. If my ship had been delivered earlier, I wouldn't have been sitting there idle without making any money. If I had arranged it earlier, I certainly wouldn't have needed so many people."

"Anyway, we'll definitely be able to accept some when the time comes, but we're not sure about the number of people. I can definitely arrange a few for you from those who are close to you."

Lin Guangming interrupted, "How about a factory? Uncle, aren't you building a factory? You go there every day during this period."

Lin Guangyuan was already very happy. It would be enough for him to accept a few people with whom he had good relations. He could not expect too much. But he was even happier when he heard that there were more factories being built.

"Uncle, are you still building a factory? Wouldn't that allow for more people to be accommodated?"

"It's still under construction, and hasn't started production yet. I'm not sure what it will look like. We'll definitely take it slow at the beginning, with small steps. We'll have to make some achievements before we can expand the scale and hire more people. It's still under construction now, so any words we say are just empty words..."

"Then you build it first, you do it first. Anyway, they won't be discharged until the second half of next year. God bless you with better performance, and the factory will be prosperous as soon as it starts, and will grow bigger and bigger."

"Hahaha, let me lend you some good words."

"Whatever my uncle does, he succeeds. This time will be no exception. It will be smooth sailing and prosperous."

"You called me yesterday and asked me to wait for you at home just to tell you this, right?"

"Yes, it's not easy for me to ask for leave, so I don't want to miss it. I'll let you know in advance. If you're not there, that's the best. If not, I'll find another time."

"Can't I call?"

"I feel like it's hard to explain over the phone. It's better to talk in person."

Ye Yaodong nodded. "I was so busy talking that I didn't even ask if you were hungry. Now is the perfect time for a snack. Let's go downstairs and ask the kitchen to cook a few bowls of noodles. Let's also see if there's any green bean soup."

"Okay."

"Brother, you only worry about other people's job hunting, why don't you worry about your own life?" Lin Guangming finally got the chance to speak again.

Lin Guangyuan turned around and glared at him, "Are you still not done?"

"If my mother knew, she would definitely say so."

"Then you can save it for her. If you don't tell her first, do I have to suffer the fate of listening to it twice?"

"Ah, I'm just giving you a heads up..."

"Don't be nosy, shut up, and don't spoil the fun."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He never expected that Lin Guangming, at such a young age, could be so eager to get married, just like his mother.

He teased, "Ah Ming, how old do you plan to get married? A Yuan is 21, and you are 18, right?"

Lin Guangming was shy for a moment and scratched his head. "I can only get married after my brother gets married. My mother said to arrange it for him first. It just so happens that she has arranged it for him by the end of next year. I am also 19-20 years old. It is just right for me to arrange it for myself at the beginning of the new year."

"You tmd, it turns out that you are the one who wants to get married, no wonder you keep urging me, you tmd..."

Lin Guangyuan finally understood why he turned into Xianglin Sao. It turned out that he wanted to get married.

"No, no, I don't want to get married. I'm not in a hurry, but you are. That's why I'm helping you. This is what you asked me to do, to give you some more advice."

Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder, "Don't say that. If you keep saying that, you'll become a mama's boy. Don't listen to your mother. Your brother will get married naturally when he meets the right person. Why are you urging him? Besides, isn't he only 21 years old? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"But he will be 22 next year. If he comes back in the second half of next year, he will be 23 in the new year. No, if he doesn't come back in the second half of next year, he will be 24 when he comes back the year after! I will scold my mother. She will definitely scold me. I don't know how to say more to him when I see him."

"I will call them tomorrow and tell them, and then let my mother arrange your marriage first, so you don't have to worry about it all the time."

Lin Guangming blushed and kept shaking his head, saying only "no".

Ye Yaodong felt that not only women said one thing and meant another, but boys were also hypocritical and thin-skinned. Innocent young boys were easy to be deceived.

"If fate has arrived, Ming, you can get married first. You don't have to wait for your brother. Just like Chenghe, he was only 17 years old, but he was in a hurry to get married during the Chinese New Year. And Hai is 19, isn't he in no hurry either?"

Lin Guangyuan was stunned. "Ah? Isn't Chenghe still a little kid? Are you engaged already?"

He still remembers that before he joined the army, when he left his uncle's house, Cheng Hedu would lie on the ground playing marbles every day.

"I remember that he seemed to follow a female classmate every day, and he couldn't be driven away?"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes, his wife is that female classmate. A good girl is afraid of clinging men."

Lin Guangyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips, "It's really fast, he was brought home in no time."

"is not that right."

Lin Guangming recovered from his embarrassment and continued, "I haven't made any money yet. I don't want to get married so soon. I need to make money first. I just learned how to drive a truck, so I must save money first."

"I thought you were anxious, so you kept urging me."

"How can there be..."

A few people walked and chatted as they went down the stairs to the cafeteria, where they continued to chat while waiting.

After standing for so long, I finally found a place to sit. But it’s not as cool as outside.

Ye Yaodong also asked Lin Guangyuan about his daily training and whether he was tired.

"By what time do we have to go back?"

"Get it before 5."

"Then take a break after you finish eating the noodles. I'll take you there on my motorcycle. It'll be faster."

"Ah? You bought a motorcycle here?"

Ye Yaodong said casually: "What's so difficult about this? A motorcycle only costs two or three thousand yuan. I can't just walk every day. A bicycle is slow to pedal, so a motorcycle is just more convenient."

"Uncle, your legs are just precious. It's common for us to walk ten kilometers."

"I'm not here to suffer, I'm here to make money, why should I compete with you?"

Heartbroken.

"Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry."

"Eat quickly."

At this time, we just need to have a snack and leave, or we can chat while eating.

Before he left, Ye Yaodong also reminded him.

"When you go back, tell your leader about this and tell him that you came here to ask me to take in a few of your close comrades because you sympathized with their family conditions and thought that I had many fishing boats here."

"You have to tell your leader about this, and you can't make a decision on your own. After all, this is an issue of placement for retired soldiers."

"You can also mention that my factory is being established. If it is profitable, I can take more if needed."

Lin Guangyuan nodded, "I understand. I'll mention it to my boss when I get back."

Ye Yaodong took out another 100 yuan and handed it to him, "Here, you have expenses in the army too."

"No, no, I have an allowance and I have money on hand. It doesn't cost anything to spend in it."

"That can only guarantee basic living expenses. Take it. Phone bills are expensive, so keep it for making phone calls."

Lin Guangming enviously said, "Brother, my uncle is really rich... I only make 150 yuan a month working for him, and you just took most of my month's salary for free. It's so cool."

"Then I'm welcome!"

Lin Guangyuan took it decisively. His uncle-in-law had a fishing boat worth millions, so 100 yuan was really a casual gift. He didn't hesitate to accept it as he was short of money.

"Take it. If you can hook up with a female soldier from the art troupe in the army, your mother won't push you anymore. If you can marry the leader's daughter, your mother will wake up laughing in her dreams."

"Well, I'll borrow your good words."

Ye Yaodong smiled and tapped him twice with his index finger, "Good boy, I understand you better than your mother."

"Haha, hurry up and leave, it will be too late if you don't leave now."

"I'll take you there on my motorcycle."

He certainly couldn't take him to his destination, so he could only take him to the dock and let him take the boat back by himself. His base was on a nearby island.

The two men walked away, and the two boys behind them looked at each other.

"So my eldest brother wants female soldiers! I have to tell my mother right away."

Title: Back to 1980: Starting from Being a Peddler

Synopsis: Chen Guangming returns to the small village in 1980.

At that time, transportation was slow and life was hard, but there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime.

He carried a shoulder pole and traveled all over the country, exchanging supplies to save up for a dowry, making a fortune, making up for his regrets, and marrying the wife he didn't have time to enjoy in his previous life.

From being a peddler to building a workshop and becoming a small boss, he really didn't have any lofty ideals. He just wanted the people around him to live a better life, without regrets, in peace and happiness.
