Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1536 Start of Construction

"Don't tease them, or they will really cry and want to go back. I'll comfort them for you."

Ye Huimei looked at them and felt that they were both cute and gave her a headache.

"No way. I haven't even tried to coax my own two sons, so how can I coax your sons? That's wishful thinking. Don't these two need to be fed?" Ye Yaodong pointed at the two who were still squatting on the ground.

"Just feed him some more if there's any leftovers." said A Guang.

"How about mixing the rice with the vegetable soup and putting it on the ground for them to eat?"

Ah Guang glanced down at his two sons and said, "That's fine."

"Dog son, the ancients were really right about this word."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Huimei was the first to react, "He called your son a dog."

"You guys are obviously treating them like dogs, and you even put vegetable soup and rice on the ground for them to eat."

Ah Guang laughed, "Aren't they squatting there? Why don't we pack the food and let them squat on the ground to eat?"

"You raise your daughter like a princess and your son like a dog. You are amazing."

You know what, Pei Yu tied her hair into two buns with red hairpins on them, and wore a new red dress with sleeves, she looked so adorable.

The twins looked a bit sloppy. Since they were young, their clothes would get dirty and torn easily when they played, so Ye Huimei made them wear anti-dirt smocks. They looked a bit weird, and the smocks were also dirty.

"Aren't these two just naughty? They kept making trouble on the boat, which is why they are so dirty. I didn't have time to coax them this afternoon, so how could I have time to clean them up? Anyway, it doesn't matter. I will wash their faces, hands and feet after we settle down at the processing plant."

"Hurry up and feed them a few bites. Once they are full, leave."

"Ah."

The two children are old enough to eat by themselves, but they were very curious outside and had just drunk milk, so the couple ignored them and filled their own stomachs first, and then took care of the food for them.

Only after they had eaten and drunk their fill did they go to the processing plant.

A Guang took Ye Huimei and the twins with their luggage to choose a room, while Ye Yaodong took Pei Yu to make a phone call.

Pei Yu also looked around curiously, "Uncle, is this the new factory you built? It's so big and impressive."

"Do you like it here?"

"I like it. It's so big here. And what's in there? It's so huge."

"Those are machines. Children are not allowed to touch them or they will get hurt. Do you understand? Also, children are not allowed to go into the workshop. If you have any questions, come to my office or your mother. Do you understand?"

"know."

"Uncle, you are so awesome."

"Of course I am. Am I better or is your father better?"

"You are awesome! Everything here is yours, and the place where you sleep in the afternoon is also yours. My father doesn't have any of that. My father is poor, and our family is very poor."

Ye Yaodong laughed, "How can your family be poor? You are just talking nonsense."

"I asked my mother why I had to wear my sister's clothes, and she said our family was poor."

"Xiaojiu and your two cousins ​​also wear other cousins' clothes. The clothes that are left over by the older ones are passed on to the younger ones. Everyone does this. Don't listen to your mother's nonsense."

Nowadays, adults are accustomed to fooling children casually and saying a few perfunctory words. They will not seriously explain the reasons and causes to the children. They just say whatever they think of.

This is not a good idea. You still have to answer seriously. Don’t think that they don’t know anything just because they are young.

Ye Yaodong took her to the office and then called home.

The phone was picked up by the old lady before it rang a few times.

He hadn't said a few words to the old lady and had just reported that he was safe when he heard a noisy voice coming from the other end of the line.

"Grandma, Grandma, I heard the phone ringing at the door..."

"Atai, is this my dad calling..."

"Is it true? Ask..."

The old lady cheerfully put the phone to her ear and said, "It's your father's number."

"Dad, you've gone too far. You secretly took my sister away. We agreed that my sister would stay at home with me and live in our house. Why don't you keep your promise? You've gone too far. I hate you..."

"My sister also agreed to stay at our house. How could you do this? You didn't even tell me and deliberately lied to me, taking my sister away while I was sleeping."

"My aunt's family has all left, and my aunt lied to me, saying that they didn't leave. Wuuwuwu... You are all big liars... You are all liars, and my sister is also a liar..."

Ye Xiaoxi clenched the phone and started talking quickly. Her voice was filled with tears at the end, and then she burst into tears.

He was obviously angry at the beginning and made righteous accusations, but he became aggrieved later on.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly coaxed her, "I didn't secretly take my sister away. It was your aunt who came to take her away. Their whole family was coming to stay for a while, so of course my sister was taken away with them."

"If it's you, do you want to follow your parents and brother, or go live at your aunt's house alone?"

Ye Xiaoxi just cried and didn't answer the question.

Ye Yaodong continued, "My sister will definitely want to be with her parents."

She sniffed, "But she said she wouldn't leave."

"Then his parents will miss her, and she will definitely miss her parents too. If it were you, and you couldn't see your mother, would you miss her?"

She sobbed softly and said aggrievedly, "I do miss you."

"That's it, the family must be together."

"Then why aren't you with us?"

"Because I need to make money. I can't make money at home. I can only make money outside. If I don't make money, how can I support you? How can I let you live in a foreign-style house and buy dolls?"

"But you sneaked away without telling me, and when I woke up I saw my sister was gone."

"You were sleeping so soundly that you were like a pig and couldn't be woken up. We called you before."

"Ah? Did you call me?" She stopped sobbing. "When did you call me? Why didn't you call me loudly?"

"I called you, but you just couldn't wake up. Think about it, you normally fall under the bed and you can still continue to sleep. It's so painful, but you can still sleep without any reaction at all."

Ye Xiaoxi was skeptical.

Pei Yu had been waiting impatiently, walking around the table here and there, but he could not hear any sound from the phone.

"Uncle, uncle, can you let me talk to my sister?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at her and said, "My sister said she wanted to talk to you."

Then he covered the phone's sound port with his hand and whispered to Pei Yu, "Don't tell my sister, we didn't call her."

Her eyes widened and she nodded before taking the phone.

"Hey, sister, don't cry. My dad said I can write you letters, call you and send you packages."

"You're lying. You can't even read."

"When I go to school in the second half of the year, I will be able to read. I will then buy you a lot of fun things and send them back to you."

"Okay, okay, then you have to keep your word. You can't lie to me anymore. You even lied to me and sneaked away."

"I don't know either. I was still sleeping when your mother took me away."

"Ah! My mother took you away? Then why didn't she take me away with her?"

"I do not know."

"My mother is a big liar... She said it was your father who took you away, and she was sleeping and didn't know..."

Pei Yu covered her mouth and looked at Ye Yaodong innocently.

Ye Yaodong told her to talk freely. It had been two days since then and she had cried all she needed to, so she could just talk freely.

The two sisters chattered back and forth non-stop until Lin Xiuqing came back and answered the phone, then they stopped talking as they were still unsatisfied.

Ye Xiaoxi was still on the phone complaining to Lin Xiuqing, "You lied. My sister said you carried her downstairs, but you said it was my uncle."

"I said she was taken away by your uncle, but I didn't say it was your uncle who carried her down. It was because I couldn't wake you up. Her father came to look for her, so I could only carry her to her father."

Lin Xiuqing then added to the phone: "Oh my God, I woke up that morning and didn't see my sister. When I knew she was gone, I felt like the sky had fallen and I cried my heart out."

"How long have you been crying?"

"I cried for an hour or so. I didn't even go to study in the morning. I howled in sorrow when I thought about it."

"It's better not to go. If you go, you won't have to go to school and do hard labor weeding."

"Isn't it the same? We weeded all day and came back with bruises all over our bodies. The same happened to the two brothers. Their hands were cut by the grass with several bloody streaks."

Ye Xiaoxi also shouted from the other end of the phone, "Dad, in addition to weeding the grass in the playground, we also went to weed the vegetable garden in the school."

"So diligent?"

"It's not that they are diligent, it's the teacher who asked them to weed the vegetable garden. Your son, who is in the senior grade, still has to use the hoe to till the soil and sow seeds."

"What the hell, they are treating them as free labor. There is no land for them to farm at home, so they have to go out to farm."

"That's normal. I weed the school grounds when school starts, and I also weed the teacher's vegetable garden."

"It's better to work hard so that you don't have to worry about it and cry."

"Classes were held as normal today, but your daughter asked if you called her every day and she wanted to cry in front of you. Finally, she got what she wanted."

Ye Xiaoxi protested, "I didn't say I was crying in front of Dad. I just wanted him to take me with him."

Ye Yaodong responded, "I'll bring you all up here when summer vacation starts. Now just study hard."

Lin Xiuqing said, "Don't talk about it now. You're already thinking about the holidays when school has just started. Then you'll have to ask me every day when the holidays are and when I can go to your place."

"Just try to trick me."

……

Ye Yaodong was talking on the phone, and Pei Yu was bored and ran out.

But she just ran out and ran back after a short while, then sat aside bored, waiting for him to finish his call.

He saw that she was bored and didn't talk for long. At least he just wanted to let her know that he was safe.

"Why did you run out and come back?"

"It's too dark, I'm scared..."

"Then let's go. I'll take you to find your parents and see which room they are in."

She nodded obediently, then took his hand and followed him out.

After Ye Yaodong sent her to her parents, he walked around the dormitory building again. When he heard the voices of Lin Dongxue and her two siblings, he went up to them, knocked on the door, and asked about their settlement situation.

Anyway, they could just choose whichever room was available, one room for the girls and one for the other two boys.

There aren't many people working in his factory now, and many of them are locals, so they don't provide accommodation, and the rooms are very empty, so it would be nice if they could live in a more spacious environment.

As for those veterans, it is not yet the time he has scheduled for work. He has scheduled all the factory workers to start work on the 20th of the lunar calendar, so it is estimated that no one will report until the 19th of the lunar calendar.

Or maybe tomorrow, the 18th day of the lunar calendar, people may also come.

After asking and understanding the situation, Ye Yaodong asked them to go to bed early.

There is no work tomorrow, so the two brothers can take Lin Dongxue around and get familiar with her.

After coming out of the dormitory building, he chatted with the guard for a few more words before driving the tractor back to the base camp.

It was quite late at this time and the weather was cold at night. The temperature here was several degrees lower than at home. It was also close to the port, so the wind was stronger at night.

Many people had gone to bed. Many who had not rested during the day went to bed early at night. Only a few rooms still had lights on.

He was so cold running back and forth that he locked the door and went straight to the room on the third floor.

Ye's father moved to the warehouse to sleep. He was alone and had no one to chat with, so he went straight to bed and fell asleep after returning home.

Fortunately, the old man is not addicted to mobile phones. He doesn’t feel empty without anything in his hands and can sleep even when he lies down.

The next morning, he was awakened by the sound of talking downstairs.

There is bound to be noise when five or six hundred people gather together, and many people are used to getting up early.

He was also wondering if any veterans would come and report in early, so when he heard the noise downstairs, he immediately got up, prepared to pack up early, and go over to take a look.

By the way, he also has to visit various factories to arrange the next delivery.

Only after agreeing on the supply quantity can he arrange for the fishing boats to go out to sea and have the goods come back tomorrow.

Those people who were talking downstairs early in the morning were the ones who had to go out to sea early this morning, and they were the ones who were most anxious to take the small boat back and forth that day.

In the past, they would rush out to sea the next day after arriving.

After the early risers went out to sea, the base camp became quiet, and the rest were those who had not yet woken up.

After washing up and having breakfast, he packed some steamed buns, took his assistant Chen Baoxing with him, and rode over on his motorcycle.

It was indeed too early in the morning, so he handed the packed buns to the security guard and gave him a few instructions.

In case any veterans come to report, let them put down their luggage first and go around for a walk. He will come over at lunch time and dinner time, and then make arrangements after verifying their identities.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was too troublesome. It was not good to let others wait around. He himself had a lot of things to do and who knew how long he would be busy.

It was also his fault that he had no experience and did not inform others to report for work a day later. Normally, the factory should start working first, and then call the new employees to report for work, so that if they come early, there will be no one to work.

Now he could only cram at the last minute. After thinking about it, he simply kept Chen Baoxing, gave him the list of retired personnel, and let him take charge of the factory directly.

By the way, check the machine in advance and arrange the things needed for work.

Chen Baoxing followed him every day, so he knew more about it and had a clear idea of ​​what to do and how to arrange it.

The main reason is that there are too many things to do today, and the preparations before starting work are too complicated. Many things have to be arranged in advance before the fishing boats can go out to sea.

Only after the fishing boats are out to sea can things gradually get back on track and operate normally.

After Ye Yaodong made all the arrangements, he rode out on his motorcycle and ran back and forth non-stop all day, visiting various processing plants and recording the delivery volume and variety of each one.

As for Ye Huimei and Lin Dongxue, he had no time to care about them. Anyway, one had a husband and the other was taken care of by her younger brothers, so he didn't have to worry about them.

He had much more important things to do than spending time with them.

From morning till night, he didn't have a sip of water. He kept going in the wind and never set foot in his own factory.

Only after he finished recording all the orders from the processing plant could he take a breath and go back to inform his father that all fishing boats could go out to sea at night.

Then he took some special products to report to the Chamber of Commerce, made friends with people and built relationships with them, and continued to place orders.

That night, he invited a large group of people to have dinner, massage and sing.

Don't be fooled by his cheerful smiles in front of the bosses. In fact, he is very tired. He has no rest for the whole day and has to entertain the guests, smile and drink.

It was already early morning when I got home. Before I even went to bed, I heard the noise of people getting up downstairs.

It's really hard to make money.

Get up earlier than the chicken and sleep later than the dog.

He hasn't even gone to bed yet, but others have already gotten up.

He covered his head with the quilt and wanted to sigh but held it back because sighing would affect his luck.

At least the initial work has been completed smoothly today. This is also because he maintains good relationships with customers, is polite and gives gifts, and even smokes for the doorman. It will be much easier to get new orders after the New Year.

As he was lost in thought, he fell asleep.

He got up at 6 o'clock in the morning and was busy until one or two o'clock in the morning before coming back to lie down. He was exhausted after the day and had drunk a lot of wine, so he fell into a deep sleep until 10 o'clock the next morning.

After waking up and looking at his watch, he sat up in shock.

"Fuck... it's over... I slept until noon..."

He got up quickly, without even bothering to eat, and went straight to the processing plant.

When he arrived at the processing plant, he was dumbfounded when he saw the orderly interior of the workshop from the door.

The machines were rumbling, and the workers in the workshop were busy processing squids, and there were many unfamiliar faces.

He was stunned for a moment, then turned to the back to take a look. The squids piled up like mountains were being carried away in baskets for cleaning, and the cleaned ones were also carried into the workshop for processing.

"What's going on? Where did the goods come from?"

A worker passing by stopped.

"Boss, this has just been delivered. When we reported in this morning, the processing plant was empty. There was nothing there. Then Baoxing said that he would ask Manager Qi to go to the dock to buy it. He will tell you when you come. Otherwise, everyone will be standing there staring blankly."

Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, got it, get busy."

As expected of someone who has followed him for two years, he knows how to adapt to circumstances even when he is not around.

It's because he lacks experience and it's his first time to run a factory. All the people he recruited are newcomers and everyone needs to get used to each other.

He was really too busy yesterday. He worked from morning till the early hours of the morning before he finally got everything done and notified the fishing boats to go out to sea, so he had little time to take care of the processing plant.

Next time he will have experience and can move the start time to later or get up earlier to leave time for preparation.

There have been few updates in the past two days. I will add another chapter later.
