Chapter 103: Calculating Accounts and Splitting the Family

Busy for several days in a row, Ye Yaodong was tired and weak. Every time he went home, he lay down to rest and didn't go anywhere.

It was A Guang who came over with a happy face to tell him that his name change was done, and it was called Pei Shun, and it was also changed on the household registration book today.

Ye Yaodong was not surprised when he heard this. He changed this name when he was almost 50 in his previous life.

He hooked A Guang's shoulder, who wanted to go into the room, and walked towards the tree at the door, "It's quite good, fortune-telling, smooth sailing is good. We people who work at sea want to be smooth, smooth sailing."

"Hmm, my father also bought the boat of Aunt Ma, our neighbor. He doesn't plan to run the big boat anymore."

"Ah? Is it the family of Lin Yongshou who just fell into the sea? You guys are so fast? They just finished the funeral, right?"

A Guang said affirmatively, "Yes, it's his family. My father saw that I got a small boat and had ideas. Didn't I mention it to you that day? After you left, we calculated to buy a trawler."

"It happened that Aunt Ma's family, not far from us, had relatives coming to buy her boat every two or three days these two days. She was annoyed, but there was no way. My father went to her house to send some seafood and chatted. Maybe my father offered a higher price. She considered it for two days and simply sold it to my father."

Ye Yaodong slapped his thigh, "You picked up a bargain. I was also greedy, but I didn't have money. How much did you buy it for? That boat is 17-8 meters, right?"

"Plus a few nets and the machine on the boat, a total of 2300-odd. It's okay, not very expensive, cheaper than a new boat. They also just bought it for a few years. Didn't expect such a thing to happen. It's a pity for a living person."

"Living by the sea is like this. Who knows when the danger will come? Then you bought a trawler, do you plan to trawl in our sea area?"

"My father wants to drive the boat to Chenjia Sect to get shrimp skin. I don't want to go, so we plan to trawl in our area first. A bit thirsty, I'll go in and pour a bowl of water..."

Ye Yaodong stopped him, "Just let the little one go!"

"Brother Ahai, pour a glass of water out~"

After shouting, Ye Yaodong continued, "Leaving home is actually not easy. You guys just spent a lot of money, so it's good to catch fish in our near sea first to earn back the capital."

A Guang stretched his neck, feeling a bit depressed, but still spoke with a normal face, "Yes, that's what I said. After all, we have lived here for many years and are familiar with it. It's hard to say how it is outside, it's better to be steady."

Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder, "Work hard! Definitely can make a fortune!"

"Borrow your good words. Talked for a long time, why don't you let me go in and sit for a while, and don't even let me drink water?"

A Guang wanted to go into the room several times when he spoke, but was either blocked by him at the door or hooked by his shoulder and walked under the big tree.

Damn, blocking him from going into the room to drink water, guarding against thieves!

"It's stuffy in the room, why go into the room when it's so hot?" After finishing, he shouted into the room, "Brother Ahai, told you to pour a glass of water out, did you hear?"

"Shouting what, can't you go in and pour it yourself? Brother Ahai ran to the toilet." Ye Huimei just finished bathing and walked out with wet hair wrapped.

A Guang's eyes lit up, his legs couldn't help but want to step out, but was blocked by Ye Yaodong, "Finished? If finished, you can go back."

A Guang glared, he hadn't even said anything yet.

"What do you mean? Came to talk to you, you drove me away before I finished talking, and didn't even let me drink a sip of water."

"Drink wool, just swallow your saliva, get out quickly!"

Grass!

There were people who came out to enjoy the cool after eating at the door, A Guang didn't dare to be too obvious, cursed secretly and had to return without success.

Only then did Ye Yaodong turn around and return to the room with satisfaction. Friends are friends, but being a brother-in-law is not okay. His sister is a tender and good cabbage.

By the next day, it was the last day of the 7th lunar month, and also the day before September 1st. Their house was finished.

Ye Fu had limited funds, so they only built a one-story stone bungalow. If they wanted to build up, they would have to buy bricks.

"Building the house like this is considered almost there. If you have money yourself, add another floor. Your father has no ability, can only build it for you like this."

"Hehe, it's okay, Dad. One floor also has two rooms, enough to live in." Ye Yaodong was very satisfied. The house layout was the same as in his previous life. For him, it was enough to live in. Two children in one room, he and his wife in one room, just right.

Ye Yaopeng also said, "Yes, we will save some money in the future and build another floor ourselves. Anyway, the children are still small."

Ye Yaohua echoed, "Yes, yes."

"Hmm, looked at the date, the 6th of the 8th lunar month is a good day. It happens to be noon when the tide rises, just in time for the beam-raising. Then move on the 20th. The house is just finished, let it air for a few days. When the day comes, you move in and live. Now let's calculate the expenses for building the house."

For good luck, they usually choose days containing 6 and 9 in the lunar calendar, and the time is near noon.

Because the house beams are all made on the ground in advance, in this era without lifting equipment, wanting to manually send a piece of wood weighing over a hundred jin to a height of three or four meters is a difficult and dangerous thing. Choosing a day and time is a prayer activity to ensure personal safety.

They would rather wait a few more days until there is a day to raise the beam.

"Dad, you just calculate..."

Ye Fu waved his hand, "Although I pay for it here, you also have a share in trawling together. How much money was earned, how much money was spent on building the house? Must tell you, calculate for you to listen."

Ye Mu also said, "Must calculate, it's all recorded here, I'll calculate for you."

"The account money for the previous foundation has already been calculated and given out, so I won't say it. Just say these three sets of houses now, except for sand, materials basically don't cost much money, it's the labor cost."

"We hired 13 workers, two masters, worked for 50 days, workers' wages 1.5 yuan a day, master's wages 2.3 yuan a day, this day's wages are 24.1 yuan, worked for 50 days, wages are 1205. Stones were quarried by workers from the mountain, yellow soil was also transported from the mountain, gravel was picked from the stream, only sand and tiles need to be bought, this cost 270 yuan. Seafood and vegetables don't cost money, but rice, flour, meat and vegetables also spent 210 in these two months. These total 1835."

"There is also a small amount of fragmented money expenses, count it as 1850 yuan."

"In these two months of trawling, yellow croakers accounted for the majority, plus the large croaker a few days ago, there are 1700 yuan here..."

Speaking of this, the eyes of several people sitting were bright, all shining with light.

Ye Mu continued, "In these two months of trawling, didn't go every day. There were times when the harvest was good, and times when the harvest was average. The goods sold for about 860 yuan, but diesel money went 230, machine repair spent 85, leaving 545."

Compared with other families, they were considered lucky. Calculated like this, trawling for two months didn't earn much.

"Equal to the total money from selling goods is about 2245 yuan, deducting the house building, we still have about 400 yuan left."

Although Ye Mu was illiterate, she had her own set of bookkeeping methods, wrote a bunch of crooked numbers with circles and crosses, and every transaction was recorded very clearly.

After Ye Mu finished speaking, the room was quiet for a while, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and it was Ye Yaodong who spoke.

"It's enough to build the house, so you two just keep the remaining money. In a few days, when the roof beam is raised, we'll still have to host a banquet and invite the workers. The tiles haven't been laid yet, and there are still labor costs."

"Hmm, have to buy some silk, and peanuts and candies to throw the beam."

After Ye Mu finished speaking, she looked at Ye Fu. Ye Fu smoked the water tobacco with a gurgling sound. After smoking, he said, "I discussed with your mother, there is nothing special to split when splitting the family. You take the things in your respective rooms, and bring the bowls and chopsticks according to the head count."

"In addition, it is the remaining money, give you 50 yuan each as a start-up capital. If you need to add anything, you can see for yourself. Nothing else, you have no objections, right?"

"Dad, you built this house for us, no need to split the money, right?"

"Yes, you have worked hard for so long, keep the remaining money yourself."

"We all have some money in our hands, if we need to add anything, we will spend our own money." Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua said one after another.

Ye Yaodong had already said it before, so he didn't speak. Anyway, there was no money to split in the previous life. After the house was built, they still owed a little debt, which was paid by Ye Fu and Ye Mu. They happily moved into the new house.

"If there is no money left, forget it. Since there is a little left, the start-up capital is still necessary. 50 yuan each, we will keep the rest ourselves."

Ye Mu also followed, "Your sister is big, it won't be long before she has to marry, we still have an expense, you brothers and sisters-in-law, look at it when the time comes, give her something."

"Mom, don't worry about this, we brothers and sisters-in-law will definitely add a quilt and clothes for her."

"That's fine, I'll give you the money later, let's split the family like this. These few days, still eat and drink together, wait until the beam is raised, see the day of moving, you move over and add some pots and pans."

After Ye Mu finished speaking, she went into the room to get money without saying anything.

Each family split 50 yuan, and they happily returned to their rooms to whisper.

Ye Yaodong and his wife also returned to the room.

Lin Xiuqing held the money in her hand and said with emotion, "Our parents are quite kind. Other families split the family and split a pair of chopsticks and a bowl. They don't have much money and still give us 50 yuan each as a start-up capital."

"Knowing my parents are good, then you will be more filial to them in the future."

She glared at him reproachfully, "I will even if you don't say it."

"How much money does our family have now?"

"1000-odd."

"So little?"

He had successively given her 700-odd in these two months, and the total family property was only 1000-odd?

"Otherwise, how much money do you think we have? Married for five years, although eating and living at home, we also have daily expenses and human relationship expenses, otherwise if I didn't buy paper, you could only use bamboo chips to pick when going to the toilet."

Uh... this also has to be said!

Once this was mentioned, he thought of when he was reborn at the end of June, when he went to the toilet with a hard scalp, thinking there would be paper in the toilet, but there were only shaved bamboo chips in the corner...

"And these years, except for the bride price, and these two months, you haven't given me money before. The money in my hand is all saved by weaving nets."

"Fine, fine, fine... I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have asked like this, I will definitely earn money well in the future."

Ye Yaodong felt ashamed when he heard her calculate the accounts, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Lin Xiuqing didn't want to turn over the old accounts with him, so she skipped it directly, put the money away, and tidied up the things in the room. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
