Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1511 Plan
After finishing lunch and seeing off the guests, Ye Yaodong settled the bill and returned to the factory to inspect. He also had to call home.

He also applied in advance for a telephone line at the factory. Since it was already a processing plant, it would not work without a telephone.

He had already called Lin Xiuqing early in the morning, but now that he had finished entertaining guests, he wanted to call her again.

However, Lin Xiuqing went busy after answering the phone in the morning. It was already past 2 o'clock when he finished his meal and sent the guests away. She was not at home, but in the factory in the town.

After September 9st, Ye Xiaoxi was sent to school and became a formal elementary school student. He no longer played around at home doing nothing.

Only the old lady was at home, and she answered the phone with a trembling voice.

She called out earnestly, "Dongzi? Is that Dongzi?"

"it's me."

"Dongzi, are you done with your work? Has the processing plant started production smoothly? Take care of your health and ask your father to help you share more of the work."

"I know. I just saw the guests off and then I found some time to call and tell you about it."

"Okay, it's cold now, remember to wear more clothes, gloves, scarves and hats, especially when you deliver goods too late at night, it's much colder at night than during the day."

"I know. You too."

"So when are you planning to come back this year? Do your mom and A-Qing want to go over and play for a few days?"

"I have this idea. I want to bring my mother here to stay for a week, just like last year. Then I will go back and let Qing take the three kids up. It happens to be the winter vacation for the three kids. They can come up to play for a few days and then go back together to celebrate the New Year."

"Oh, that's good. I heard from Ah Qing that you bought a new yard, a boat, and a house this year. Today, the processing plant opened. We should let them go up and take a good look. It's a pity that my old bones can't leave..."

The old lady's tone was full of regret. She regretted that she could not witness his highlight moments, and could not see how his current industry had developed and how great it was.

I can only see the one and a half acres of land at home, and I can only listen to Aqing talking about the rest.

"It's okay. If you can't leave, don't leave. It's the same if I take pictures and show them to you. I took a lot of pictures today, some of me, some of the factory, and some of Shanghai. I'll show them to you. You'll be able to see them when you go back later. If you can't leave, I'll go for you. If you can't see, I'll see it for you. Taking pictures is the same as you seeing it."

"Hey, haha, you're right, just look at it for me, it's the same for me to look at the photos."

"A thick stack of photos. I have accumulated a lot of photos throughout this year. When I get back, I will tell you the stories of the photos one by one."

"Okay, okay, then remember to come back early. Should I ask your mother to answer the phone?"

"Forget it, it's too far."

The old lady held the phone in one hand and quickly reached into her pocket with the other hand, smiling, "What's so far? Children are fast. I'll go to the door and call Xiaoyu and the twins, give them some candies, and they will call your mother back soon. Let's talk for a few more words, and your mother will be home soon."

"Row."

"Then wait for me."

The old lady put down the phone and picked up her cane with a slight tremor, but you could tell that she was very anxious and wanted to walk faster.

Ye Yaodong couldn't see through the phone, otherwise he would have told her to slow down and be careful. He could only vaguely hear the old lady shouting.

"Xiaoyu, the twins..."

No one likes to call twins by their names, but you can tell who they are the moment you hear them.

After waiting for a long time, the old lady came back and picked up the phone.

"Dongzi, I asked them to call your mother for you."

"Ah."

"This Xiaoyu is very close to Xiaojiu. After Xiaojiu went to school, she also clamored to go to school every day, so Huimei had to buy her a schoolbag and coax her first... The dogs at home are the same. When Xiaojiu goes to school, a group of dogs follow her to school every day, like bodyguards..."

The old lady kept telling him what happened at home. He only needed to respond occasionally and she would go on and on.

It was not until Ye's mother arrived that she handed over the phone reluctantly, "Your mother is here, let her talk to you first."

"Dongzi, why are you calling again? Didn't you just call this morning? Are you done with your work?"

"Well, I just finished my work. My dad said he missed you and asked if you wanted to come over to play for a few days and take a look at the new processing plant?"

"What do you mean you miss me? Don't fool me. How can that old guy say he misses me? He's so happy and comfortable out there by himself."

"My father said that after he drank too much in the afternoon." Ye Yaodong lied.

"The old man gets drunk as soon as he sees wine. Forget about drinking. He's having so much fun out there that he looks like a god. He doesn't even miss me."

"Then do you want to come up and play?"

"Go ahead, why not? I have to give him a beating, otherwise he won't even know his last name. You work so hard, but he has to be praised to the sky."

The old lady also agreed, "Yes, we need to give him a good scolding. Dongzi is so busy that he still calls back, but he is just sitting around drinking horse urine all day and doesn't even help share the burden. Go up and scold him a little more."

"Okay, I'll ask the ship to make some arrangements for you, and I'll call you when I have any news."

"Okay, I haven't been to the villa for a year. It was so beautiful last year, so big and bright, and it was so comfortable when the sun came in. This time I have to buy some New Year's gifts. Everyone praised the beautiful and stylish fabrics I bought last year, and asked me to tell them when I go there..."

Ye's mother was in high spirits and had already started planning what to buy.

When Ye Yaodong heard her say that someone asked her to buy something for him, he felt overwhelmed.

He still has the shadow of last year's big and small bags. Whatever his mother buys, she has to think about her relatives. She can always say buy this for the eldest aunt, that for the second aunt, this for my aunt, etc...

She accepted all the gifts from her aunts and uncles, but it was hard for him and his father, who had to follow behind carrying the large and small bags.

"Don't treat it like wholesale. You have to buy whatever people ask you to buy. Can't you just keep it to yourself?"

"How can that be possible? Everyone wants me to go again so that I can bring them some things that we don't have. We have already agreed on this. I am obviously going to go, but if I don't tell them and go alone, they will think I am on guard against them."

"It's up to you. As long as you can carry it."

"I can carry it. Why can't I? Anyway, you have a car, so you can just take me to the boat. When I get off the boat, my family has a car to pick me up. What can I carry?"

Mother Ye was extremely happy and she smiled as she spoke, as if she had already seen herself bringing back lots of bags and being surrounded by people praising her.

Ye Yaodong couldn't say anything about her, so he just ignored her.

"Where's your dad? He said he missed me, but I didn't see him call me?"

"I'm going to bed."

"I told you that you made this up. I've never heard him say a nice word in my life."

"You didn't say anything nice to him."

"He's so beautiful! What else do you want to hear? I've taken care of him until I'm old, what else do you want me to say? If you praise him a few times, he'll be so arrogant."

Ye Yaodong felt that he had nothing to say to his mother.

He couldn’t eat it, so he left it for his father.

"How was your factory this morning? Did you start working? Were you able to sell the goods?"

"Of course, isn't that nonsense? I have already contacted them in advance. If there is an order, I will start production today."

"That's good. We can make money right away. Otherwise, with so many people, the expenses would be huge. Fortunately, we can do the work first and pay the wages later. It's a pity that the processing plant is not opened in the village. It's cheaper for outsiders to make money."

"Can the village make enough money?"

"How can we not make enough money? It would be great if everyone in the village could get a salary."

"You really think collectively."

"That is required."

"Okay, I'll hang up if there's nothing else. I just wanted to call you and tell you that everything went smoothly today."

"Okay, then when you book a boat for me to board, remember to call me and let me know so I can tell my old sisters."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, said a few perfunctory words in an unpleasant mood and hung up.

He was sitting in the office and making a phone call. After he finished the call, he leaned back comfortably in the chair. However, it was too hard and uncomfortable, so he leaned sideways on the armrests and put his feet on the desk.

"It's comfortable. This is what it means to be a boss..."

He looked at the ceiling and then at his bright office, feeling very proud. He even wore a pair of leather shoes today, feeling like a decent person and finally like a boss.

"boss……"

"Come in."

When Ye Yaodong heard a knock on the door, he immediately put his feet down and sat down.

“This is the quantity of goods needed tomorrow.”

"Got it. I'll arrange it and send it over in the evening..."

Ye Yaodong was very happy, the makeshift troupe finally had some form.

He folded the quantity list and put it back in his bag, then looked at the time. He felt it was still early and no one had called to inform him that the goods had returned from the dock.

He hesitated for a moment and decided to write a letter to Lin Guangyuan first to inform him that the processing plant had started smoothly and the fishing boat would be available in a month or two.

Some time ago, he hesitated for a long time, whether to accept veterans as soon as the project started, or to wait until the project was on track.

Later I thought that I should achieve some results first before I can accept the company. Otherwise, what if the company goes bankrupt after I accept it? Wouldn’t that be a slap in the face?

We will just work on it this year, and when the performance gets better and better, we will definitely recruit more people, and report the numbers to Lin Guangyuan in advance.

But the fishing boat will be available in a month or two, so this can be arranged now.

Just treat it as a trial and accept a dozen or twenty people first. Once it becomes stable, we can rest assured to arrange for more troops next year.

As for this year's retired soldiers, they have all returned home, so it's not a big problem. He doesn't need so many people, so he can just let them handle it and contact and recall a few of them.

I was so frustrated that I went home to get a hoe, and when I found it again, I was even more surprised.
