Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1513: Lady Boss ( words)

As soon as Ye Yaodong woke up the next day, he started to take care of the things his mother had to do and even arranged the time for the trip.

He asked people to speed up the cleaning of the rooms in the processing plant, and not just the one his mother lived in, but all the rooms were cleaned.

By then, not only will he have to settle his mother, but he might also have to settle the retired soldiers, so it’s better to prepare in advance.

By the way, he also asked and confirmed that the letter he wrote to Lin Guangyuan yesterday had been sent, and he felt relieved.

After returning to his office, he also called his mother to inform her of the time of coming up and returning. His mother was so happy that her voice rose high.

"Oh? It's settled already? So quickly? You just told me yesterday, and it's already been arranged for me today? I haven't even prepared yet."

"You can prepare slowly. There is still time..."

"Oh, you're still staying for so many days? There's already 20 days between the two boats. I went there last year, and they want me to go again this year. The villa is really beautiful. I want to stay there again after staying there once..."

Ye Yaodong was a little confused. Why was his mother talking so much?

There is a 20-day interval between the two ships, but when you go there, the journey may take a week, and there are only about 10 days in between. It takes two days to go to Shanghai and back.

The schedule is almost the same as when I came here last year.

When he heard the somewhat distant voice coming from the phone, he realized that this was all for others to hear.

"...You are such a filial son. I am taking you to enjoy a good life..."

"… Ask him to build one for you at home, and you can live in it every day."

"...It's a rare trip for me, so why don't you stay a few more days? Don't forget to buy me some vanishing cream and a silk scarf..."

Mother Ye was holding the phone and smiling very happily, saying, "...I can't forget it. I have written down all the things you want...Dongzi, I will prepare it in the next two days. When the time comes, I will go directly to the town dock to wait, right? Or is it Ah Shang's boat, right?"

Ye Yaodong said helplessly, "Yeah, that's right, only his ship passes through our town, otherwise it wouldn't be so convenient, most people's ships only resupply in the provincial capital."

"Okay, I've got it. I'll go over and take a look at your new large processing plant. I don't even know what it looks like."

"Ah."

I'm telling it to others...

"Where's your dad? Why didn't he answer the phone when you called?"

"He's still cleaning the house for you. I'll call you when I'm done."

In fact, his father was inspecting the factory with his hands behind his back, walking around everywhere, and had no time!
"Okay, then I'll hang up first. Since you didn't call home and called here, I won't go out of my way to call Ah Qing to answer the phone. If you have anything to say, just call her at home."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong called the village committee specifically this time because he was mainly looking for his mother.

After hanging up the phone, he also went to inspect the processing plant. It had just started operating, and both father and son were very concerned.

Moreover, the factory has started operations, and the time he used to spend running around in the morning, visiting other factories and learning, as well as inspecting construction sites, has now been freed up. He can now focus on managing his own processing plant for the entire morning.

In the afternoon, he contacted the bosses as usual to arrange the delivery of goods.

The processing plant had a dedicated person to help him manage and arrange affairs, so he seemed much more relaxed. However, at the beginning he definitely had to keep an eye on it, arrange orders and prices, and handle shipments.

He has now divided the day into three parts, and the evening is the delivery time.

Except for the occasional rest time when there is not much cargo, the afternoon and evening time are freed up for him, which becomes the time for socializing and entertaining other bosses.

Ye Yaodong worked at the factory for several days while his mother was still here. Seeing that everything was in order and on the right track, he also paid some attention to the shipyard.

After two days of follow-up and communication, they also agreed that the delivery time of the two 45-meter ships would still be before the th day of the lunar calendar.

The time will never be exactly right, and the approximate delivery time is really just an estimate. If you encounter any problems or the delivery is late, it will have to be postponed.

It’s good enough that we can deliver the goods to him before the New Year.

Originally, one ship was to be completed after New Year's Day, and the other after the New Year. For the shipyard, the New Year is also the peak period for ship delivery. Everyone is rushing to deliver the ships before the New Year. This period is also the busiest time, but this time is not so friendly to it.

He stays at home after the New Year and can't come over until after the 15th. Of course, Xinchuan wants to take advantage of the New Year to go back and worship Mazu and ask for her blessing.

So recently he has been running back and forth to negotiate, trying his best to get the shipyard to speed up the process and deliver the two ships together around the 20th day of the lunar calendar before the New Year. Originally, one would be delivered early and the other late, so it would be just right to combine them.

He is also keeping a close eye on it, and keeps asking when it can be delivered. Now we can still discuss it and give it special attention. If it becomes too late, it will be too late and there will be no point in discussing it.

Director Shen also knew that they would go back home for the New Year. It was a similar situation last year. He asked about it and discussed with the master and decided to work overtime as much as possible to catch up.

About 10 days after he sent the letter, he received a call from Lin Guangyuan. Fortunately, he left the processing plant's phone number in the letter to Lin Guangyuan, otherwise he would not have answered the call.

He now spends much longer time in the processing plant every day than at the base camp.

"Uncle, I called you but you didn't answer. Fortunately, there is still the processing plant's phone number."

"Well, I wrote you a letter and left my phone number here. I was afraid you couldn't find me because I was running around everywhere."

"I talked to my leader and the organization, and they said it would be great to be able to recommend a job. There are also many rural veterans in the army whose family conditions are too poor and their abilities are limited. The organization asked to help contact them, saying that many have returned to their hometowns one after another, and some have already returned home, and they don't know if they can be contacted, but those who haven't left can still be arranged. Anyway, they will contact them first and try to find those who are in more difficulties and need. By the way, let me ask you when you will start work."

Lin Guangyuan talked a lot, and I don’t know if it was to save phone bills.

"Then tell your boss that I can arrange 50 people here after the New Year, 30 of whom can be assigned to fishing boats and 20 to processing plants."

Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and added, "The processing factory is more comfortable and relaxed. If you have a disability or are not suitable for working at sea, we can arrange for you. But the salary in the processing factory is definitely not as good as working at sea."

Lin Guangyuan was excited after hearing this. "That's great. There must be some people who had accidents and were forced to retire with only compensation. It's great to have a job. It's normal that the salary is not as good as going out to sea. Thirty or fifty yuan is good enough."

"Well, disability is fine, but the premise is that it doesn't affect work. I'm not running a charity. And we provide free accommodation. The canteen is not yet built. I will arrange for someone to contract the canteen after the New Year."

"Okay, then I have to tell my boss about this good news. I thought your factory has started operations and you no longer need workers, only seafarers."

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even finished my sentence. At that time, I was thinking that the processing plant hadn't started yet, and I didn't know what would happen. If I hurriedly invited people over, what would happen if it failed?"

"Yeah."

"The safest thing is to start production at the processing plant and ensure stable production and shipment before you can give us your assurance. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time and it will also affect your boss's impression of you."

"My uncle is right."

Now if Ye Yaodong says shit smells good, he can also say yes.

Ye Yaodong also saw that shipments have been stable recently, but there is still a shortage of staff in some places, so he needs to add more manpower. He is also accepting orders on hand, and there will probably be a large number of return orders after the New Year.

It is also necessary to increase staff after the New Year.

"Then you can talk to your boss. It's just after the Chinese New Year, so you can let him spend the New Year at home before coming back to work."

"Okay, I'll tell my boss right away, and leave your phone number with my uncle."

"okay."

Lin Guangyuan hung up the phone happily and ran away like the wind.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yaodong began to think about the personnel arrangements. He also called Manager Qi and Director Yan over to discuss the matter and get the details in advance.

As for the arrangements for the 30 people on the fishing boat, he would naturally wait until after the New Year to reorganize the crew. Although it was okay for veterans to work as crew members, they had never fished before, so they still had to train the new ones.

This is easy for him. In the past two years, every time a new ship was acquired, he had to recruit new people, then reorganize the team, with the old ones bringing up the new ones.

In any case, the veterans are better than the villagers from the surrounding villages. After all, they have been trained for four years. Some of the villagers recruited from the surrounding villages are not even suitable for going to sea and are forced to go to sea.

Who asked him to offer such a high salary? They have to train themselves well even if it takes half their life to get this salary.

His mother also arrived two days later. This time she came alone by boat. It was familiar to her. Besides, she took the boat of an acquaintance from the village. His mother was not afraid, but she felt a little regretful that she had no companion. The other passengers on the boat were all men, and it was rare for single women to travel far away by boat these days.

Ye Yaodong had sent people to wait at the freight terminal in turns a few days ago. After all, he was not sure when it would arrive, so he could only send people to guard it in turns in advance.

Most of his people recognized the ships at Linji, and as soon as they saw the cargo ship coming back, they immediately went back to inform them. He could only send his father to pick it up while he waited at the factory.

"Oh my, this factory is so big and impressive..."

"This is bigger than the fish canning factory in Dongzi Town. My son is really capable, but the house he built is not as big or as high as that factory..."

"Look at the name, Dongsheng Processing Factory. Actually, I think it's better to call it Yaodong Processing Factory. Haha, you can tell it's Dongzi's right away..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this trip was not in vain. It's just that the roads here are a little worse. It's just like our countryside. There are villages nearby and fields in the distance..."

"Are those short, small sheds also processing plants? Looking at them carrying seafood around..."

Mother Ye stretched her head to look at other departments, then shook her head with a look of disdain, "It can't compare to ours... our factory is still more impressive..."

Ye Yaodong heard the guard coming over and said something, so he came out and saw his mother pacing around the wall with a smug look on her face.

"…This wall is so high. It looks like it's taller than two of us. How long will it take me to walk such a long distance…"

The corner of his mouth twitched, "Do you want me to take a picture of you?"

Mother Ye turned around and walked towards him excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, you have to take a picture for me, then print it out and bring it back for me to show to my old sisters."

"The camera isn't here. Let's take the photo tomorrow."

"Why wait until tomorrow? Just ask your dad to ride over and get it. Otherwise, you'll forget about it tomorrow."

Father Ye frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry? You're not leaving tomorrow, so it won't be the same if we shoot tomorrow."

"Who knows if you guys are free tomorrow? Aren't you going to arrange for me to go to Shanghai? Oh, by the way, why not bring your camera with you and accompany me to Shanghai? Take a few more photos for me in Shanghai so I can develop them and show them to others."

"Why don't you tell me to hire a photographer for you? I'll just follow you and make money."

"It's a lot of money, so why don't you have something to do? Just follow me and take a few more photos for me. It's such a rare trip."

Ye's father glared at Ye Yaodong: It's all your fault. You're always looking for trouble for me.

Ye Yaodong received his father's signal and immediately said, "My father is busy. I have to run a fishing boat, deliver goods, and take care of the processing factory. My father has to help me. How can he have time to follow you around and take pictures for you? Can he be a photographer? Don't take ugly pictures of you."

Ye's mother nodded seriously, "That's right, he doesn't know how to take pictures, and the pictures he takes can't be shown to others."

"Aguo is my supervisor in Shanghai. He's watching over the construction site. When the time comes, I'll ask him to take you around Shanghai..."

"Why don't you accompany me? You want me to go alone?" Ye's mother looked at the father and son in surprise.

"How can we get away? We can't be away from each other for a whole day. Ah Guo happens to be in Shanghai. Let him accompany you. You can buy whatever you want. I'll pay for it. You can also choose two people to accompany you. They can carry your things and bring a camera to take pictures for you. Young people are definitely better at taking pictures than my father."

Mother Ye was also satisfied after hearing this, and then she said to Father Ye kindly, "Then we don't need you anymore, just help Dongzi, I will take the group around myself."

"Well, when to go and who to ask to go with you, it's up to you to choose."

"Of course I'll choose from my nephews or grandchildren. It's such a rare opportunity to go to the Magic City. I can get a salary and travel around. I have to ask my own people to accompany me. I won't let outsiders take advantage of it."

"Choose for yourself. Call whoever you like."

His mother knows the difference between inside and outside very well, and she always wants her own people to get any benefit.

"Tell me who is at home and not out at sea. I'll pick two who are relatively free to go with me. Don't delay your work."

"Well, let's talk about it later. Go in and have a rest first. You've been on the boat for a few days and haven't even had a chance to catch your breath. How can you still be so energetic?"

"What's the big deal? I came back to life as soon as I got off the boat," said Ye's mother, then patted Ye's father, "What are you doing? Go back and get me the camera. I haven't even taken pictures of the gate yet."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like I won't take the photo for you..."

Ye Yaodong pulled his mother's shoulders and coaxed her to go inside. "Put down your luggage first, take a break, and take care of yourself. You've been on the boat for a few days, your clothes are smelly, and your hair is a mess. How can you be suitable for taking pictures?"

"Make yourself clean, put on all the powder you need, and look prettier before taking photos. After all, you have to print them out to show others."

Ye's father was carrying the luggage and staring at his back, also full of admiration.

How come I am so fertile and gave birth to a son who is so good at talking?
Even the black chickens with their feathers standing on end can be coaxed back into their nests.

Mother Ye nodded as she listened, thinking that what he said made a lot of sense. "You're right. While the sun is shining brightly at noon, I'll go take a shower and tidy up. My hair will dry quickly in the sun."

"Well, then you can also tour the factory, watch the workers at work, and let the workers recognize people."

Ye's mother's old face was full of smiles, and she said insincerely: "Why admit it? I'm not here every day, what's the point of admitting it?"

"Why is it useless? You are the boss's mother, so you are the boss's mother. Of course you have to let the workers know who they are working for."

"It's enough for me to know you. I'll just walk around for a while. Take me to where I live first, and I won't go into crowded places. I'm so sloppy now. I haven't showered for several days. My clothes are wrinkled and my hair is messy. How can I let others see me?"

"Okay, I'll take you to your room upstairs first. My dad will prepare everything for you."

"He's thoughtful."

Father Ye followed behind, carrying a bag of luggage in a blue and white striped woven bag on his shoulder. Looking at the mother and son talking and laughing in front of him, he felt like a farmhand!
The boss lady came over to inspect and the farmhand was serving her in the back!
As soon as they entered the house and put down their luggage, Ye's mother urged them again, "Remember to bring the camera over early. While Dongzi is not busy, he is good at taking pictures. Let him take pictures for me. Go get it now. Bringing it early will save Dongzi from doing his work, and I can clean up my things earlier."

"Is tomorrow so late?"

"Today the sun is shining and the wind is not strong. What if tomorrow the sun is not shining and the wind is strong? You are free anyway."

"How can I be free? I'm also very busy, and I only have time to pick you up."

"What are you busy with? There are no deliveries now, and the factory doesn't need you to work."

“I drive a tractor.”

"So how much money do you make? You're so hardworking and don't waste any time, so you must make a lot, right?"

Father Ye was speechless.

"Clean yourself up first, and then I'll take you to get it. Don't you have to pick two people to go to the Magic City with you? Let's go and see who is there."

"That's fine. Pick two people to go to the Magic City with me. Will you be short of manpower? You'll also need manpower to deliver the goods, right?"

"It's okay. It's enough. The fresh-water ship is back and there are people on board. I only need to leave a few people on board to sort the goods, weigh them and keep records. The others can come with me to deliver the goods and help with moving and lifting."

"Your business is more important. As long as it doesn't delay your work, that's fine."

"Well, let Dad get you some water to wash up. I'll go get busy first."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Your dad will be fine here."

The more Ye's mother looks at Ye Yaodong now, the more she likes him. She wonders how he can give birth so well and how capable he is. She no longer scolds him like she did in the past few years.

"Hey, has that big car downstairs always been parked here?"

"I don't have a name? Why are you calling me?"

Mother Ye patted him and said, "Go get me some water. I'll pack my luggage first."

Father Ye picked up the thermos that had been placed in the room for a long time, and took the washbasin as well, and went downstairs to fill it with hot and cold water.

After Ye Yaodong returned to the office, he called A Qing to inform her that her mother had arrived safely.

"After my mother returns from her play in a few days, I will ask my father to accompany her back and ask him to help bring you and the child up."

"No need? I can just take the kids up there by myself. I'll just stay on the boat and won't get off. I can get off when we get to the destination. It won't be unsafe."

"That's not good. The whole boat is full of men. You need someone you know to accompany you. Last year, I could ask Ah Shang to bring you up with him. But he didn't go back the next time. I can't rest assured that you will be left alone with three children."

"If you ask your father to bring mother back, will there be no one to help you? It will delay your work too much?"

"No, I have a lot of help. My nephews can help me deliver goods and collect payments. After my father returns, I can let Lin Guangming drive the tractor. Anyway, the two brothers Lin Guangming and Lin Guangwen just need to take turns driving the truck, and I will always sit in the passenger seat."

"Then you can arrange it."

"Well, my mother doesn't know how much she has to buy. I heard that a lot of aunts and uncles want to take her shopping. I think she will have to move half of the city back home."

"Not only her aunts and uncles, but also most of the village, as long as she has a good relationship with them, including relatives or neighbors, they all take her shopping. A few days ago, the door of her house was almost broken by people."

Ye Yaodong was a little shocked when he heard this.

He didn't ask just now, he just knew that many people asked his mother to buy things for him. Could it be that he really needs to bring a whole cart home?

No wonder he said to arrange two people to go with her, and she didn't refuse. It turned out that she really needed help to carry things.

"No way, then I have to scold her. She is the only one who has human feelings. She agrees to everything. Isn't she afraid of working herself to death?"

"My mother didn't say so confidently. She just said that she might not be able to buy all the goods, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to carry them all. Most people were rejected. She just said to buy as much as possible and tell everyone if there were any left."

"That's good. I thought she really wanted to move the Demon City back."

"The main reason is that my mother wants to make some money from this, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to take on so many people. She won't do a thankless job, working hard just to be a Lei Feng for others and exhaust herself."

Purchasing on behalf of others.

Oh my god, his mother is really good at thinking, she can even do this.

"Has she collected all the money?"

"She collected some of it, and she even took out a notebook to write it down, remembering exactly what each person wanted. She also asked me to do a big count for her, so she could just tell me the quantity directly."

"Then I'll have to ask my dad to build her a cart so she can go there and haul the goods."

"Why don't you try and ask Dad to make one for her? I calculated that if she really buys it, she can earn several hundred yuan. Many people ask her to buy silk scarves, which are very expensive here. They also ask her to buy winter clothes and so on. Fortunately, she didn't say the price was cheap last year, but said it was very expensive. It's also in the past two years that the conditions of every household in our village have improved, and every woman has money in her pocket and can earn money. It just so happens that the New Year is coming soon, so they are willing to spend money."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. His mother really surprised him.

"Why don't I just let my mother open a store at home, specializing in selling the goods sent back from Modu."

"Haha, how can she have time? She still has to help me. If I wasn't so busy, I would really like to open one myself. It's quite profitable."

"Let Huimei go to town and open a ..."

"Come on, I heard Huimei say yesterday that she might just take the child and follow Guang up after the New Year. She takes care of the child wherever she goes anyway, and Guang is not at home all year round, so she might as well just follow him up, since you and dad are there anyway."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that this seemed to be a feasible solution.

Huimei is not like Aqing, who has a lot of things to do at home and cannot leave. She just needs to take care of three children. It doesn't matter where she takes care of them.
At that time, I can live directly in his processing factory. There are both male and female workers here, so it won’t be inconvenient to live here.

"I haven't heard A Guang talk about it."

"When they were on the phone at our house yesterday, I listened to a few words before asking. Huimei said that they had only talked about this topic now, but they had to wait until Guang came back for the New Year to discuss the details, so she didn't mention it to you."

"Maybe I've been too busy recently."

"Ah."

"It's good to be able to come up, so that we don't have to live apart."

"Who says it isn't?"

"Then let's do this for now. If my mother really buys a lot of things to bring back, she really can't handle it all by herself. It would be better if my father could send her back and help her carry the things up and down. When my father comes back, I can ask him to bring you up."

"Row."

After Ye Yaodong hung up the phone, he went to find his mother first to ask her how much stuff she wanted to buy.
If there are a lot of things, then he really needs to ask his father to make a wheelbarrow to pull them. He can't really move them by physical strength.

It just so happened that his mother had just finished her shower and was washing her hair in the corridor.

When he asked, his mother asked him to go into the room and get the book on the bed to read for himself.

"Don't go to such trouble next time. It's a rare trip for you, so just buy things for yourself and bring some for your relatives and friends. Isn't it a bother for you to bring things for others?"

"What's the trouble? It's just a side thing. I just bought a little more. I can make a little profit from it."

"How much can you earn? Are you short of this little money?"

"Of course it's bad. If you don't make money when you have it, you're a fool. Don't underestimate the small amounts of money you can earn from buying small items. Especially when they asked me to buy woolen coats, winter clothes, and duck down coats, each of which costs more than 100 yuan. I can make tens of dollars, so why shouldn't I buy them? By the way, they asked me to sell the clothes I brought back last year. Last year, I made tens of dollars from selling each piece of clothing. It's so profitable."

Ye Yaodong was speechless. "I spent money to buy it for you, but you made money instead?"

Mother Ye laughed, and was a little embarrassed. "I was thinking, I don't need the clothes, I don't need to wear them, and I can make money by selling them... It would be a waste if I don't sell them..."

“Fuck…” Ye Yaodong took out the notebook from his mother’s bed and opened it. It was full of people’s names followed by a string of things.

Turning to the back, there is an item statistics, which lists out everything needed in total, and you can tell at a glance that it is written by Aqing.

"How much stuff do you have to carry back?"

"Let's see if I can carry them. If not, then there's nothing we can do. I'll return the money to them then."

"You are really bored!"

"I'm just making money on the side. Since I'm here and they're begging me to buy, why shouldn't I make money?"

"Then I won't give you any money. Don't think of using my money as capital and then making another profit by reselling it."

Ye's mother wrapped her hair with a towel and said nonchalantly, "You don't need to pay. Many of them have already paid. I asked Ah Qing to record it for me. I remember clearly who paid how much. Pay first, and I will pick up the goods for them first when I go home."

"You're doing this in a very good way."

"Of course. I've already told Ah Qing that if I weren't so old, I would have opened a store and made a lot of money."

"Come on, it's fine if you do it once in a while, but you're 60 and you still want to start a business?"

"What's the big deal? If I didn't work for the Women's Federation, I would open a shop."

Ye Yaodong gave his mother a look that was difficult to describe, then closed the notebook and threw it back onto the bed.

"It's up to you. I don't care. I'm not following you around to move the goods for you. As long as you can carry it, it's fine."

"I can carry it. Didn't you say you would arrange two people for me? It would be better if you and your son weren't with me. I wouldn't have to listen to your nagging. Who dares to nag me when I bring two juniors? They have to help me carry whatever I want."

"Let dad make you a wheelbarrow. It can be pulled around, saving time and effort. You can take care of two younger generations without having to do hard labor for them."

"Hey, this is a good idea. When your father comes back, ask him to make one for me immediately. When it's done, I'll go to the Magic City."

"Then you can come and visit my factory these two days and keep an eye on the workers to prevent them from cheating."

Mother Ye wiped her hair and said happily, "Okay, this job is perfect for me. I'll watch the workers work for you and walk back and forth."

"Well, this was originally my father's job, and I just gave it to you. Send him to make the cart for you."

"How long does it take for him to come back and forth? He hasn't come back in such a long time?"

"It takes about an hour, not that fast. Sometimes there are a lot of cars on the road and you have to wait for the big cars to pass. Bicycles are more convenient."

"You've been driving this big car for so long. Have you made back your investment? Do you save money?"

"How can I calculate this? I haven't calculated it. I have so many things to do that I can't think about whether this car can make back the investment. I'll ask Lao You to calculate it at the end of the year."

Just calculate the car expenses you paid last year, and then calculate this year's gas and car expenses. Deduct the two and you will know whether you have saved money.

However, he didn't know whether this car saved money or not, but he knew that Ye Chenghe and Ye Chengjiang made a lot of money.

This year he has two more large ships, so naturally there is more cargo, and they deliver goods more frequently.

He needs to go out to pick up goods during the day, and occasionally has free time to sit down and rest. But there is no free time at night. Every night his schedule is full, one trip after another, until all the goods are delivered.

Then, based on the number of deliveries made every day, Lao You would issue an invoice for them and summarize the total for settlement at the end of the month.

Last year at night, we delivered one day and rested the next day. This year, unless there are any unexpected events, we will deliver every night.

They can make enough money just by delivering goods to him, which is like a guaranteed guarantee for them.

So much so that the two brothers decided to split up and buy a tractor. With him around, are they still afraid of not making money?
Everything has been discussed and we have ordered the tractors. We plan to drive one each after the new year and not work together.

Ye Yaodong thought it was a good idea. He had more goods after the New Year, and it was better to keep the money within the family. Having an extra tractor would also help to distribute more goods, which he could consider as supporting them.

When others wanted to buy a tractor to deliver goods for him, he refused, saying that he had enough vehicles and that taking turns was enough.

"Then your father has made a lot of money this year, right?"

"Then you are wrong. He really made less money this year. I have been running back and forth between Shanghai and Shanghai this year, and he is the one who supports me in delivering goods here."

I knew his mother would ask, but I'm lucky I managed to hold it in until now.

"At night, Jiang and Chenghe are paid for delivering goods to me, but my father is not. My father drives my car, so why should I pay him separately? I only pay him a salary every month, and then give it all to you at the end of the year. It's more than 2000 yuan. I won't give him a penny."

Mother Ye rolled her eyes. "How could I not know you? You were secretly giving him money to spend and covering it up for him."

"Since he works for me, I must take care of his food, drink, and expenses. He is my father."

"Then I'm still your mother."

"So didn't I give you all his wages for a year's work? I was on your side and only gave him the minimum living allowance for food."

"I can only listen to what you said." Ye's mother knew clearly that he would not lose to his father. "Then it seems that Jiang and Chenghe earn more than your father?"

"Of course, isn't that nonsense? They both own their own cars. My dad drives my car, and he earns money when he goes out to transport goods. You can't drive my car and earn money from me?"

"He still has to work for you while you're out, so there's really not much time to drive out and earn money."

"Yeah, maybe half a morning at most occasionally."

"Did I tell you how much money I made this year?"

"No, and I won't ask him about that. Ask him yourself."

"alright."

After asking about it, Ye's mother felt relieved. He was too busy to earn extra money, which meant he was not cheating her. It didn't matter how much he earned, as long as he didn't cheat her.

"Are you hungry? There's no cafeteria here. Do you want me to take you out to eat now, or wait for my dad to come over and let him take you out to eat?"

"Let's wait until your dad comes over later. My hair isn't even dry yet, so I'll put something on my face first."

Now that his mother has money, she has started to care about beauty and likes to play with it. She even curled her hair at some point, and it looks very fashionable.

"Then you go do your thing. I'm leaving now. If you need anything later, call me. Just ask anyone downstairs and they'll know where my office is."

"Okay, you still have an office?"

"Nonsense, I'm the boss."

"Okay, okay, I'll visit your office later."

Mother Ye was extremely happy, and she couldn't wait to go downstairs to visit the processing plant. She had been here for a while, but she hadn't even been inside the processing plant yet.

She looked down the corridor and outside, muttering to herself.

"It took me so long to get my camera back, and I still haven't come back in such a long time. Do my legs and feet become so slow when I get old?"

"It will be dark by the time he gets it. Why is he taking so long..."

Mother Ye cleaned herself up and her hair was almost dry. Seeing that Father Ye had not come yet, she put on an expensive wool coat, tied a beautiful silk scarf, and went downstairs for a walk.

She had been reluctant to wear her woolen coat when she was on a boat before, a lesson she learned last year.

Before boarding the ship last year, she didn't know how many days she had to dress herself up and put on new clothes. However, after staying on the ship for a few days, her clothes were wrinkled and she looked listless, like a refugee. She was no longer as glamorous as when she first boarded the ship, and all her nice clothes were wasted.

I have experience this year. I wear work clothes on board, and when I arrive at the destination, I clean myself up, put on new clothes and leather shoes, so that I can meet people in a bright and beautiful manner.

She also wore a gold ring, but she didn't dare to wear anything else for fear that she would lose it on the way. She only dared to wear the small gold ring.

Mother Ye walked down the stairs with her head held high, her leather shoes making crisp sounds as they stepped on the ground, and her whole temperament seemed different.

Walking on the road, seeing the workers busying around and glancing at her, she straightened her back and approached them with a smile on her face.

"Where is Dongzi's office? Do you know?"

"Dongzi?"

"That's your boss."

"Oh, it's in the innermost room over there. Big sister, who are you? What's your relationship with our boss?"

"I'm his mother. I just came here to play for a few days."

"Oh, so that's why you look alike. You and your son really look alike."

Mother Ye was very happy, "Really? He was born by me, of course he looks like me. He has been like me since he was little, in every way."

"Hey hey hey..."

"Then you guys go ahead and I'll go to his office first."

Mother Ye's little leather shoes made a clanging sound as she stepped on them. She was full of confidence. She first took a walk around the processing factory and was stopped by someone. After she told them she was Ye Yaodong's mother, everyone immediately showed respect to her, and she felt more relieved.

After attracting attention for a while, she went to Ye Yaodong's office.

"Dongzi, haha, hey, I just walked around your factory and felt so impressive. Every worker stared at me, thinking who I was. I told them I was your mother, and they all treated me with respect. It felt completely different from being in the village."

Mother Ye laughed so happily that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes almost disappeared.

"Of course it's different. Everyone in the village knows each other very well. We've known each other for decades. We were all the same. Even though we're working for us now, we're all too familiar with each other. How can we be respectful to each other?"

"Yes, yes, yes. We are all family in the village, and we are all outsiders here. Knowing that I am your mother, shouldn't you respect me?"

"Are you happy? You feel refreshed, right? It's like drinking a sip of ice water in the hot summer."

Ye's mother was all smiles. "I'm happy for you. Your business is getting bigger and bigger. You can process your own goods and make all the money for yourself. You'll really become a big boss."

"That's right, but you stay in the village and don't have a concrete concept. If you go out, who wouldn't call me Boss Ye?"

"It's good, it's good. Now it's getting more and more formal. It's much better than at home."

"It's just the beginning, take it slow."
