Chapter 997: Coming Home (7000 Words)
After Ye Yaodong finished, he hurriedly pedaled his bicycle back to the shipyard to return it.
Running back and forth, I don't have time to greet people, and I don't have time to stay in the factory to see how my ship is doing.
Father Ye took advantage of the waiting time to squint for a while, until the roar of the machine sounded, he realized that the ship was moving, and quickly got up and went to the cockpit.
"Just came back? Explained clearly? ”
"After the explanation, the things have been handed in, and the rest is none of our business."
"That's good! Then hurry back, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon, and your delay is more than two hours. ”
"It always takes time to do things, and I'm not going back and forth on a rocket, you go to sleep with yours, I'm just in good spirits."
"What did Director Chen say?"
"What else can I say? Let's just say that he will report the matter first, what else can he say to you? Where can I explain it clearly to you. ”
"Oh, then nothing was said?"
Ye Yaodong glanced at him, and suddenly realized that his father should mean whether he was paying anything.
"You mean to say if there are any rewards? Do you dare to ask for it, aren't you afraid that people will know that it is our small report and be retaliated against? ”
"Uh...... No, I just want to know what benefits this matter can bring to Director Chen. ”
"Things haven't progressed yet, and who knows what benefits it will bring to others? If you ask him, he doesn't know, anyway, if we have something, we are worried about others, and they must appreciate it. ”
"Isn't this equivalent to giving away that box of goods for nothing? Isn't that canned food old and valuable? Don't you say that caviar costs thousands of dollars a pound? There should be a pound of caviar in that box, that's a lot of money......"
"You just reacted, that is equivalent to giving him a box of goods for nothing, whether he takes it to report it to see if he can get some credit, or keeps it for himself."
Father Ye frowned, "Speaking of which, we still lost money, we worked all night, hid two boxes of goods, and had to send one box out, and didn't get anything else." ”
"Didn't we keep a box too? It's really worth so much money, do you dare to use it for cash? Isn't it true that we can only keep it for ourselves, and don't people take care of us? ”
"Give him a box and see if it will be useful to him, and it will surely benefit him. For us, we can only eat in our stomachs, isn't it better to be human? I didn't thank people for getting a motorcycle for nothing, and I had to have a relationship. ”
His father probably thought that if it was beneficial to others, they would be promoted and rich, and maybe a little more would be exposed between his fingers, and let them be glorified, or let them get a little subsidy, which could be regarded as not being handed over in vain.
However, the point is that they don't dare to receive this reward for reporting at all, so why bother about it, anyway, Director Chen will receive their affection.
Some favors are not easy to buy with money, and are more important than these benefits.
"Okay, whatever you want, send it all, then you should return the favor of someone to send a motorcycle."
"Don't think about it, people will definitely be promoted all the way to get rich in the future, let's maintain the relationship a little better, it's also a doorway, people are also quite conscientious, very good at talking, I don't dislike that we are countrymen, and we are quite enthusiastic when we go to his house."
"Isn't that enthusiasm? When will we get back to the door? It's all sacks of stuff sent over. ”
"Dad, we can't be too short-sighted, many people have no way to make friends......"
"You don't need to tell me the truth, I'm a handful of years, and I know better than you, but I just feel uncomfortable doing day work last night. I feel that it is not easy to be an official, and we ordinary people can do whatever they want, just catch it when they say it, and deduct it when they say it, maybe they will be released when the time comes, and there will really be nothing left one by one. ”
"It's really very likely, whoever asked them to beat the police officers, everyone went all the way to rescue them at night, but they didn't get any benefits, and they were beaten, if they sat down to negotiate compensation, maybe one party could keep a part, and now they are all detained, probably won't be polite to you."
Now the law is not perfect, it is all a word, and in the past few years, it has been dealt with severely, and there is a handle in hand, that is, if you want to be locked up for a few days, you will be locked up for a few days, and if you want to go bankrupt, you will be bankrupt.
"Let's see if we can bring a little benefit to that Director Chen, so that we won't waste a night in vain, not just one night, it's a whole day, and it's late to sail home at this time."
"I was able to catch up for dinner, but fortunately, I went out on the first day and my luck exploded, and I earned enough in one day, and the harvest was average in the next few days, but we also earned 5,000 yuan."
"I haven't asked you yet, how much did it sell in the morning?"
"Ten thousand catties of toad fish are left back to dry and not sold, and the remaining thousands of catties of goods are about to be sold for more than 300 yuan.
"That's okay, I made almost 5,000 yuan on this trip, that's not a loss, delay for a day, then delay for a day. Those people have been arrested, and they can't get out, and all of them are gone."
Father Ye is still a little stubborn, but thinking that people will probably have to come out of the bureau, it is much more psychologically balanced.
"My father-in-law in the city has calculated more than 1,000 yuan."
"That's pretty good, I only went to the city after the year, and in just a week, more than 1,000 yuan came in......"
"This is not pure earning, how much money have I invested in dried fish and fish sauce?"
Father Ye nodded, "That's a third and a quarter of the earnings, just a few days, and the store doesn't need to be rented." In the future, the goods on my own ship will be kept back to dry, not enough to add a little more, so that the cost will be less, and you can earn a little more. In the morning, you also asked the harvest to save the toad fish and those bargains for you to dry, right? When they moved ashore, I didn't see a lot of goods moving. ”
"Yes, I said that I would go back to the dock and weigh it, and give it to us according to the wholesale price in the market, which also saves us from going outside to collect it, and we have to make a sum of money for the intermediary."
"Well, you still have a lot of goods in this big ship network, and the money comes quickly, and the harvest still earns thirty percent of your money."
Ye Yaodong also smiled happily when he thought of this, sure enough, the richer people are, the richer they will be.
Earn money and then invest it to earn it, like snowballing.
Working people can only work hard to save money, and it is not as simple as rich people earning money.
"Mainly luckily, I caught up."
In this life, he is not only a variable, but Ah Guang is also a variable.
A few years ago, he changed his name early, stayed in the village again, and did not leave, Uncle Pei's connections were all around, using each other and developing together.
"I'll go back and sleep, you can look here, this area of the county is not far from our village, and you should be familiar with the roads along the way."
"I know, you can go to sleep."
"Hmm."
When Ye Yaodong drove the boat alone, he was also there to calculate the income and harvest of the trip, thinking that when he would dock in the evening, he would give a red envelope of two yuan to each of the shipwrights on the ship.
What you promise must be done.
Two yuan is almost equivalent to a day's wages, and there are red envelopes at the beginning of the work, which is a lot.
There is no need to divide the canned food, leave a few on the boat, and wait for the next time you go to sea as a dish, everyone can taste it together, and your family and friends will take some points according to the situation after they go back.
Last night it was dark and began to delay until now, and there has been no net fishing, just yesterday during the day, plus the afternoon before yesterday began to leave groceries, the quantity is less and not less, adding up to nearly 10,000 catties.
In the past, when the harvest number went back on the last day, it was only a few thousand catties to pick up groceries and bring them back by the way, and they were worried about eating oil if they were left early, and they were not so sure which day to return, and generally had to depend on the wind direction and the harvest situation.
There are many goods at sea, more fish, of course, stay for a day or two, if the goods are less, there is no profit, then stop for two days less, go home and rest in advance.
The main thing is not their own needs, but also the goods left by the way, and they can't sell for much money, so a little bit of meaning, waste utilization.
Ye Yaodong also kept it early yesterday because of his own needs, and told Pei's father to keep the goods a day in advance.
Now there is nearly 10,000 catties to bring back, which is more than any previous trip, and twice as much.
Coupled with the goods of the Harvest Number, after docking, both workshops were busy.
More than 20,000 catties of toad fish and more than 20,000 catties of groceries had to be hired by many women to work temporarily, and the employment rate in the village increased greatly.
Fortunately, it's cold now, these goods can't be killed in a day, you can keep them, and they won't be bad for two more days, after all, there are still ice cubes there, and the temperature will not warm up so quickly after the year.
When it gets hot, I'll have to hire some temporary workers.
The women in the village have no other skills, and they are good at killing fish and mending nets.
A person quietly opened and thought at the same time, the wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and it was cloudy all day today, with heavy clouds, biting cold wind, and damp and cold.
Fortunately, he will be able to get home soon, and thinking of the warmth and liveliness of the home, he can't help but increase his horsepower and return to his heart like an arrow.
The closer you get to the town's port, the more and more fishing boats return, all of which are small trawlers and small wooden boats that go back and forth on the same day.
By the time he reached the outside of the village dock, it was still dark.
After receiving the letter on the shore, the younger brother who had been waiting there for a long time immediately drove a boat to pick up the goods.
"Brother Dong, you are finally back, we have been waiting all afternoon, the harvest arrived early in the afternoon, only said that you have something to stop in the town, I thought it would not be delayed for a long time, and I came back soon, but I didn't expect that many hours had passed before waiting."
"What time did the Harvest arrive in the afternoon?"
"At about two o'clock, I brought back tens of thousands of catties of toad fish, and borrowed the scale on the side of the dock to weigh the goods, and now the workshop is in full swing to kill fish there. There are other miscellaneous goods, there are thousands of catties, next door has just arrived at the flat ground in the past two days, and it will come in handy immediately, and there are also a bunch of goods in the fish sauce workshop, and all the people are busy there. ”
"That's good, it's all arranged, come on, there are more than 20,000 catties of goods on this ship, and you guys are there to help pick up the goods."
"Okay, okay, Uncle Pei came back and said that you also have the same amount of goods on the ship, let us arrange the manpower in advance to prepare to receive the goods, we have been coming out to see, and we don't dare to leave home for dinner, until now."
"Well, there has been a delay in the county for a long time, how are you doing at home, is there anything big in the village, or something special is happening?"
"There are no big things, but there are a lot of small things to watch the excitement, just like singing a big drama."
"Such? Then wait for the docking, and then listen, now move the goods first. ”
Ye Yaodong directed the shipwright to move the goods on the side, while Ye's father climbed to the boat on the side to help pick up the goods, almost all the toad fish were emptied, and after they were piled up on the deck, they were transported back to a ship to unload the goods, and then came out to continue to pick up the groceries.
After the second boat was moved, the sky was also a little darker, and now it was still cold, and it was still very fast.
He kept five of the boxes of canned fish and put them on the boat, and the rest were covered with straw and carried them to the connecting boat, and by the way, he also brought the money in the iron box under the bed board with him.
"Nothing has been left behind!" Father Ye asked.
"I didn't leave it behind, and my clothes and luggage were all moved."
"Okay, then land."
The Dongsheng is the same as the Harvest, the draft is a little deeper, and the water level at the pier is not enough to support him to dock, so he can only drift in the middle of the sea, and he has to rely on a shuttle ship to receive goods.
The weather is cold, and the fishing boats basically dock before dark, and when they dock, the receiving points at the wharf are closed, but there are many people who come and go, all of whom come to move goods and transport goods for him.
The two carts in the house were pushing back and forth.
Ye Yaodong saw that the light was not so bright, so he turned on the flashlight and stood outside the dock, watching everyone carry it, while his father followed the board truck to the workshop and directed the unloading at the workshop.
A bunch of clever dogs all ran out and circled around his feet, barking wildly.
He smiled and stretched out his hand and touched the chin of the tallest and most cheerful little black man, "The hair on the body is smooth and shiny, it seems that the food is very good during this time, and you can get out of the pot." ”
"Wangwanghuo~"
A little flower dog, with a little yellow dog, held him on one leg, standing on one foot, and his whole person was surrounded by dogs.
After a while, the lights on the other side of the workshop were also turned on, and he saw people coming and going outside the docks.
After the goods were moved, he also led a group of Wangwang team to follow the last car to the workshop.
The ground of the fish sauce workshop in the back was flat and dry, and there were piles of groceries on the side of the wall, all of which had just been unloaded from the ship.
The row of warehouses against the wall was all finished, the doors and windows were installed, and the tiles were pasted.
In just a few days, the pour was also rapid, and years ago, there were only doors, windows and tiles, and the ground was not flattened.
"It looks pretty bright."
"It's quite bright, such a large open space, it's all your home." Father Ye was also full of pride.
Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to go back, and was going to take a walk around the workshop first, when he saw that the warehouse lights in the fish sauce workshop were also on, and a bunch of figures were shaking, so he asked while walking inside.
"Are the barrels in the open space next door empty, and they've been moved to the warehouse? Now the aunts inside are fermenting fish sauce over there? ”
Wang Guangliang followed and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, a large number of empty barrels of fish sauce were filtered one after another a year ago, and they haven't started to ferment after the year, and the ground has dried up in the past two days, so they have all moved in." ”
"My aunt said that in the future, the wooden barrel can be put into the house to ferment, so as to save the sun and rain and be easy to break."
"After the miscellaneous fish brought back from the harvest in the afternoon were moved in, the aunts were busy, and the aunts also said that when you come back, you should order some wide-mouthed vats to be placed outdoors, otherwise the barrels will ferment slowly indoors, and if there are so many returns, the existing ones will not be enough."
"The ones I brought back in the afternoon were just poured in and fermented, just when your boat came back, and some people didn't leave yet, so the lights were still there."
Ye Yaodong nodded, and also stood at the door and watched the people inside busy, "You haven't gotten off work yet, auntie?" ”
The twins were carrying the goods there, and his aunt was instructing them to pour the goods into the vat, and then she stood on top of the stool and sprinkled salt in the bucket, and then the man lay down and spread the salt evenly with her hands.
"No, it's all done."
"It's getting dark, get off work first, you all go home for dinner, and come back tomorrow morning, I just brought back more than 10,000 catties, just a few of you, it can't be done in a few hours."
"It's dark? So fast? The aunt glanced out the window, and the five fingers were no longer visible, "The front is still very bright, and it has only been dark for a while?" Okay, okay, don't do it, go home for dinner, and come back tomorrow morning, it won't be bad if you leave it overnight anyway. ”
"Well, you boys will also go home for dinner, whoever has the turn to work in the evening, just stay and be busy."
"Okay."
The aunt wiped her hands and walked up to her with a smile on her face, "You made a lot of money this time, right?" Ouch, now there is no one in the whole village who is more prosperous than you, your two cousins are stained with your light, and the two of you rent your boat, and the harvest is good these days. ”
"Really? As long as the harvest is good, hello, hello, everyone, earn money together, and make a fortune together. ”
Ye Yaodong turned off the lights in the house as he spoke, and then called the dogs out and locked the door.
"Yes, yes, get rich together, your two cousins also said that they would wait for you to come back and drink with you and chat together......"
"Daddy~"
"Third Uncle~"
"Dad~You're back~"
"Third Uncle ~ Third Uncle ~"
"Dad~Gotta~Wait for me~"
As soon as he turned around, a bunch of children at the door of the workshop were running and calling, extremely excited, as if they hadn't seen each other for ten years.
"Third uncle, you're finally back!"
"Dad, you're back~"
Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile on his face, "You don't have anything to say, right?" It's all saying I'm back, of course I'm standing here, and it's all nonsense. ”
I was just surrounded by a group of dogs, and now I am surrounded by a group of children, and I guess when I get home, I will have to be surrounded by a group of women.
He was really too popular, from old to young, from people to dogs, and there was no one who didn't like him.
People love each other, and flowers bloom.
His narcissistic self-absorption, only the untimely voice rang out.
"Hehe~ Third uncle, your face is peeling."
He instantly pulled his face, touched it, and said angrily: "The sea breeze blows." ”
"You should say, third uncle, you have lost weight~"
"Hahaha~ You should leave this to Ah Tai to say later~"
"Ah Tai will also say that he will kill a chicken to make up for the third uncle~"
"Yesterday, Mrs. told the third aunt to save a little more eggs, saying that the third uncle likes to eat chicken, not like to eat duck, this year when the hen is hugging the nest, put on a little more chicken, let the third aunt cook duck eggs, don't boil eggs."
Ye Yaodong gave these noisy smiles on his face, and knocked on the heads in front of him, "When I went home, all the snot was almost on my lips, why did you run out?" ”
"My grandfather is back, so we know you're back too, so we came over to take a look."
"I don't have any gifts for you, I've been to sea these days and made money."
"Hehe, no ...... for gifts"
"Dad, we missed you......"
Ye Xiaoxi's little short legs fell at the back, and she fell without running a few steps, and then she simply lay on the ground and shouted forward: "Daddy hug ~ want to hug ~"
Ye Yaodong saw a dark shadow on the ground in front of him, and immediately stepped forward to lift the person up, patted her on the knee, patted the ash on her chest, and then slapped her ass twice.
"It's all hypocritical, I don't get up by myself when I fall, and I still lie there screaming."
Ye Xiaoxi put his arms around his neck and moved excitedly, "I want to hug, I want you to hug." ”
"Don't move, I can't even hold you, I'll fall to the ground later."
As if she had discovered a new world, she reached out and touched the stubble of his chin, feeling prickly, and her little hands kept touching his mouth.
"Take it away, don't touch it, it'll sting people."
"It's fun."
"Why do your hands stink so much? Have you washed your hands when pooping? ”
"Haha, she just touched the cock's ass!"
"Ah Tai went to touch the chicken butt and said that the chickens don't lay eggs in the cold, and I want to see if there are eggs on the chicken butts at home? Can she go down tomorrow, she will also go to touch the chicken butt. ”
"Hahaha~"
Ye Yaodong's face was full of crying and laughing, and he quickly took her hand away, "How can you know everything, learn everything, what do you want to do as an adult?" ”
She didn't speak, and she giggled as she watched a bunch of kids laugh there.
"If you're free, dig some earthworms tomorrow and feed them to the chickens, and the chickens will love to lay eggs."
"Third uncle, you have a lot of open space here, can we come here to play tomorrow? In the afternoon, the three aunts kicked us out and didn't let us play here. ”
"Take a look tomorrow, the piece that has just been covered is okay, the barrels have been moved to the warehouse to ferment, there is nothing on the construction site, there is no big water tank, and I am not afraid that you will kick it out."
Wang Guangliang hurriedly said: "No, Brother Dong, my sister-in-law said that there are too many toad fish brought back this time, and the open space over there is not enough to dry at that time, so they must come here. ”
"Oh, forget it, then you can go to the open space in front of the village committee to play, and the ground over there is also flat."
The clearing on his side was just mixed with the yellow mud on the mountain mixed with stones and sand, and it was smoother and cleaner than the dirt road outside.
But there is no way to compare with the cement floor, it is still a particle, but it will not hang a foot of mud on a rainy day, and it will be very good to sweep with a bamboo broom.
Rarely, this open space is very large, which is very suitable for a group of children to run, jump, play and play football.
"Then can you let us in for a while tomorrow before the sun is dried? If we have hung up the dried fish, we won't come in, and the spank we just got two days ago hurts. ”
"Seeing you smile so happily, I don't feel like you're hurting."
"It hurts when you hit it." Ye Chenghe said truthfully.
"Go home, don't surround me, go back to your own house and find your own mother."
"Don't, I'm beaten and scolded in front of her, I'm going to your house to play......"
"I don't think you're noisy, don't come here."
"We promise not to make noise."
"Did you do your homework? Is school in school? Sixteen seventeen sign up, right? Can I apply if I don't do my homework? ”
Ye Xiuxiu smiled brightly, "No, the three of them didn't finish their homework, and they didn't dare to sign up today, I signed up." ”
"My mother took us to sign up early in the morning, and they deliberately hid and couldn't find anyone, so we all registered."
"I was locked up at home to do my homework after dinner at night, but when I heard the sound of Grandpa coming back, they quickly ran out, and then ran to find the third uncle."
Ye Yaodong looked at the people in front of him with a smile, "It turns out that I don't miss me, but I don't want to do my homework, so I'm so happy to see me." ”
"No, I'm just glad that the third uncle is back."
"Then why don't you go back to do your homework, why come with me to the door? If you don't finish your homework, you won't be able to sign up, and you won't have a book to read when the time comes. ”
"I'll write ...... when I get home"
"That's great, I'll herd sheep at home......"
"Dongzi is back......" The old lady kept sitting at the door and watching, and only after the noisy movement reached the door of the house did she laugh.
"Well, I'm back, I've just been in the workshop for a while."
The old lady smiled with a wrinkled face, "It's only been a few days since I went out, and I've lost weight, I'll stew a few eggs for you to eat, and I'll kill a chicken for you tomorrow to make up for it." ”
"Hehe, I'll just say it......"
A group of children laughed because they had guessed what the old lady would say.
Ye Yaodong glared at a few children who were big ghosts, "Don't you go home to do your homework yet, are you waiting to eat the whip tomorrow?" ”
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also came out of his house, and the first thing they said was the same.
"Dongzi is back~"
"Well, I'm back."
"You guys don't go home and do your homework, what are you standing here looking at? Your mother will be back from the workshop in a moment. Ye Yaopeng said with a glare.
"The third aunt said that she wanted to buy a ......lamb in the spring," Ye Chenghe whispered.
Ye Yaopeng raised his palms, widened his eyes, and gestured, "What are you doing?" Do you really want to stay at home and herd sheep? ”
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "This good thing can't be your turn, don't think about it, go back to do your homework." ”
Ye Chenghai and Ye Chenghe flattened their mouths, and they had no choice but to run home reluctantly.
