Chapter 171: Changing Ships
Early the next morning, before the tide came in, the couple took the child to Ye's mother and went directly to the town.
The last ten beads were sold for 1,200 yuan under Ye Yaodong's three-inch incorruptible tongue.
Their Haiqingsha Town is a port town, and there is not only one jewelry store in the town, and the price of this one cannot be negotiated, so he wants to go out and change to another one, and he will never lose money.
Unexpectedly, before going out, he was stopped by the shopkeeper and responded directly.
As long as the thing is good, the price is really negotiable, after all, after making jewelry, the value can be doubled several times.
Lin Xiuqing was carrying a huge amount of money in his pocket, for fear of losing it, or running into a thief, one hand was always in his pocket, and he pinched the money tightly, and he didn't dare to take it out along the way.
Hearing that Ye Yaodong was going to buy maltose for the children, she was a little reluctant, "Come back next time?" Let's go home early, it's not safe outside, in case it's gone......
"It won't take long, and it's not far away, the children in the family know that we are coming to town, if we go back empty-handed, they should make a fuss and say that I don't have credit, this time it's not two, it's eight, it's going to turn the sky upside down."
"That's... Then hurry up, let's buy it and go home right away."
"I know."
With excitement and nervousness, after the couple arrived home safely, Lin Xiuqing also breathed a sigh of relief.
1,200 yuan is not a small amount, and an ordinary family may not be able to save enough for two years without eating or drinking.
As soon as Sister-in-law Ye saw them coming back at the door, she hurriedly asked eagerly, "Is it sold?" How much does it cost to sell?"
Second sister-in-law Ye said sourly, "Why are there hundreds? Rich, rich."
"Hehe, let's take it and see." After speaking, Lin Xiuqing hurriedly pulled Ye Yaodong into the house.
After taking out the money in her pocket and counting it again, she happily put it back in the drawer and locked it.
In recent years, every household has not had the habit of keeping money in the post and telecommunications bureau, and they have kept all the money at home.
"How much money do we have now?"
Speaking of this, he was a little ashamed, since he asked at the beginning, after being scolded by her, he didn't dare to ask how much money the family had.
Just be responsible for making money.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him with a smile, "Why are you asking this? No matter how much money you have at home, you have to work hard to earn money to support your family."
"Earn, I must earn and work, isn't that curious? I know how much money I have, so I can figure it out."
Hearing him say that he was calculating, Lin Xiuqing also remembered what Ah Zheng said at noon yesterday, and said, "Do you really want to change to a bigger boat? Isn't this little wooden boat nice now? It's enough, and it hasn't been open for a few months."
"Enough is enough, but I can't go too far to the sea, I can only go around, search the sea, collect the ground cage nets, and the daily harvest is limited, I am quite lucky."
"And what do you want?"
"I think it depends on how much money you have." Ye Yaodong looked at her innocently.
Originally, he didn't plan to put the change of ship on the agenda so soon, he wanted to accumulate a little more slowly, have enough money on hand to change the ship, and leave room just in case the child in her belly.
Regardless of whether or not you can be born safely, adults must always ensure that they are well.
It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself, rather than begging grandpa to sue grandma at that time, it is better to arrange plans in advance.
Now that she is determined to sell pearls, then this money must be put to good use, money is a dead thing, and it will not make money if it is put away, so it must be used.
If he added the money that the family had saved during this time, enough to change boats, and still have money to protect her, then he wanted to arrange it.
Lin Xiuqing thought about it and felt that the money was all earned by him, and it was good that he didn't ask, since she asked, she couldn't help but tell him, and it was not a bad thing to change the iron boat.
"With the money from selling pearls just credited, the family has more than 3,600 savings."
"So many?"
Ye Yaodong glared, has he earned so much?
"It's not all your earnings, but also hundreds of the wages I've earned for weaving nets over the past few years."
He happily hugged her cheek and kissed her hard, "Thank you for your hard work, I thought that with today's pearl sellers, we have a lot of people in our early 3,000s."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him with disgust, and then wiped his cheeks, "How can you be like your son, and you can still salivate on the laker's face."
"Haha, it's not like you haven't eaten it?" Ye Yaodong smiled and said seriously, "I want to discuss with you, how about we either sell the small wooden boat and exchange it for a second-hand tin boat?"
"Are you going to trawl?"
"The row hook has been asked to do it, I want to try longline fishing, longline fishing is very good, get one or two thousand hooks, open a little farther in the sea, rich in resources, it will definitely not be bad, if it is not ideal, then the trawl is good, anyway, it will not be worse than a small wooden boat to put the ground cage."
"Don't you want the cage? The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are still working there......
"What they are doing must be done, and the wages will be paid the same, and they can't be allowed to work in vain, even if they finish what they have at hand, they won't increase. Anyway, it's only 6 rows of ground cages, not much, and it will be delayed for two hours when you come back by the way, you can do this for the time being, if you can't be busy, then you will sell it, and I'm not afraid that no one will want it."
Lin Xiuqing lowered her eyelids and thought about it, it didn't seem to be a loss to change the iron boat.
"If you want to change it, you can change it, that is, how can you work alone at sea, a boat must require two people, and it is inconvenient for me now, and there are two small ...... at home."
"This is simple, let's hire someone, there are many workers in the village, please hire one fixedly, and the salary will be calculated on a monthly or daily basis."
If you calculate it monthly, it is about 60 yuan a month, and if you calculate it on a daily basis, it will cost about 3 yuan a day.
Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, days of strong winds and waves, there will always be a few days in a month that can not go, deducted, in comparison, by month and by day, there is not much difference.
Lin Xiuqing nodded, since he had already thought about it, there was no reason for her not to support it.
Buying a boat is much more reliable than the second sister-in-law taking it to invest in the lobby brother, at least the money is given, there is a boat in hand, and she can make money steadily with her own labor.
Brother Lobby said that it sounded like an investment, and he gave the money, but he didn't know anything, so he didn't know what it would be like when the time came.
I don't know what the second sister-in-law thinks, and I don't listen to persuasion, but the sister-in-law is usually a sober person, but this time she was actually moved.
Feeling that her mind was drifting away, Lin Xiuqing hurriedly pulled back her thoughts.
"That's okay, then you go and talk to your father tomorrow, and you have to squeak for them in advance, buying a boat is not a trivial matter, you have to let them know, by the way, let your father help inquire, who has a second-hand ship to be sold, Dad must know more people than us, and he understands more, and when the time comes, I have to ask him to help palm the eye."
"I know that, as long as you support me." Ye Yaodong grinned happily.
After dinner, Ye Yaodong saw that it was still early, since he had made up his mind, it was better to be sooner rather than later, and there was no need to wait for tomorrow, so he would go to the old house after dinner.
told Ye's father and Ye's mother about his thoughts, and it also showed that the couple had discussed it.
Father Ye couldn't believe it for a while, the third child was taking a bit fast?
The eldest and second still want to follow him and share a little money.
The old Sanyi, who used to be idle, became serious, and it was only a month, but he caught up with him directly, and he actually changed from a small wooden boat to a tin boat in one step.
Ye Mu was also surprised.
The son who hates iron and steel the most, but is better than the calm boss and the honest second one.
Even Ye Huimei was surprised, when did the third brother become so rich? Can you change to a big ship?
The least surprised, the happiest is the old lady.
When she heard this, she immediately smiled on her old face, and pulled Ye Yaodong to praise him desperately, saying that he was out of breath, amazing, and he was going to change the big ship, which was really blessed by the ancestors......
Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed by the old lady's praise, but he just changed to a bigger boat, and the old lady seemed to be how big he had done.
The same thing as the extravagance, he also said that he would incense his grandfather and tell his grandfather......
"Are you serious?"
Although what he just said was extremely serious and serious, Father Ye still wanted to ask for sure.
"Of course, can I still come over and tease you? It's not good for me, maybe I'll have to be beaten."
This kid just said two serious words and then spoke like this.
"Speak well, get down to business!"
"Oh, I have a good idea, Dad, you can help inquire, you are the pillar of our family, you know more people than I have eaten, you can help me find out if there is a suitable boat." If not, it doesn't matter if you wait, it's not in a hurry."
Ye Mu hurriedly asked him, "Dongzi, do you have enough money?" It's second-hand, but it's not cheap, so it's expensive."
"That's enough, we sold the oyster pearls today, it should be enough, if it's not enough, it's okay to go to a friend's place to make it up at that time."
Of course, you can't talk too much, it's normal to put things together.
Ye Huimei's eyes lit up slightly when she heard that he had sold the oyster pearls, she had 4 in her hand, and she wanted to ask him how to sell them, but she felt that the question was not appropriate at this time, so she swallowed it back, and waited for them to finish talking about the important matter, and it was not too late for her to ask again.
Just didn't wait for her to ask, Ye Mu asked first.
Ye Yaodong said that he would go to sell pearls in the afternoon, and his family knew about it, no wonder he had the money to change the boat.
The third child is serious, and he still has this fortune.
Father Ye thought so in his heart, and his mouth should have been lowered, "Okay, since you have all discussed it and decided to change to a larger iron boat, then I will find someone to ask, pay attention to it, and tell you if there is news."
"And what are you going to do with your little wooden boat?" Ye Mu asked.
"With the new boat, this little wooden boat shouldn't be needed, or should I give it back to you?" Did you sell it? Or you can see if you take it back for the eldest brother or the second brother, anyway, you didn't confiscate my money at that time, so I borrowed it for a few months."
Ye Yaodong didn't care which brother his father and mother gave it to, he had used it for free for so long, and he took advantage of it.
Ah Qing should have no opinion.
