Chapter 1119: Bought a Courtyard

After Ye Yaodong came out of the Sea Police Bureau, he wiped the sweat on his face, looked at the scorching sun outside that could roast people, and rushed out again, continuing to run towards the shore.

He only stayed in the Sea Police Bureau for half an hour, plus the running back and forth, it only took an hour.

When he returned to the pier, A Guang had already finished his work, found a shady place to squat, and was holding a large bowl slurping noodles.

"Finished collecting the cargo?"

A Guang squatted on the ground looking up at him, still holding chopsticks and biting a large string of noodles. He hurriedly bit it off, stood up, and asked vaguely.

"Done so quickly?"

"Just asked about something, asked and then came out."

"How did it go?"

"The matter is still being decided, it hasn't been discussed so quickly how to handle it. Said the situation is too serious and won't be lightly dismissed, but will try to help. My father is also inside safe and sound, without any injuries."

Ye Yaodong briefly talked about the leader's meaning.

"It's good to try to help. If you don't try to help, you probably won't be able to come out. As long as you are on the edge, anyone who goes in will be finished."

"I want to rent a house in a while. It's really inconvenient for dozens of people to eat, drink, and defecate. I still have to find a house to leave people to cook. Like when we arrived at the shore this morning, just sending the food to the sea, so that 30-something people don't have to eat like fighting a war, it's too tossing."

There is also a jellyfish that has nowhere to dry. It's too inconvenient on the boat. With the increase in quantity in the past two days, there is no place on the boat to spread out.

It's just 11 o'clock now, and it will be 1 o'clock until the next arrival at the shore. In a while, just go to eat something and then ask the locals if there are any empty houses or courtyards for rent. Taking advantage of the free time now, being idle is also being idle.

And now, no matter how you calculate it, it belongs to having a backer here. As long as they don't cause trouble, like going out early and returning late now, they won't conflict with people in the city.

"Then it's okay to have a leader covering here. Now it looks like this matter won't be resolved so quickly, so we always have to stay here and wait for the result."

"That's right, we all have to wait for the result here, so it's still more convenient to rent a house. Although it's a bit far from the salvaging point, it's considered a mistake, and when we return, it's already night, so we don't have to contact the locals."

"I won't toss. Now there are only a few people, and the beds on the boat are just right for sleeping."

Probably scared by the incident two days ago, afraid of living locally and not being able to run in time.

Personal choice, Ye Yaodong didn't say much, and went to the noodle shop on the side to cook a bowl of noodles and bring it over, squatting with him to eat.

After eating, he returned the bowl and asked about renting a house by the way.

In this era, there are few migrant workers, and few people rent houses. Fortunately, after asking a few more families, he found one. A family went abroad decades ago, and only in the past two years did they return to deal with the house, and by the way, pick up the elderly who were reluctant to leave their homeland.

Ye Yaodong accidentally bumped into such a pie, and was very happy. Originally thinking of renting, now it became buying, so he immediately bought the house.

The money in hand was on the boat, not with him, so he went to borrow it from A Guang.

Pei Fu drove the Feng Shou to fish all day at sea, only sending small boats back to transport cargo. So the money from their family selling cargo was in A Guang's hands, which also made it convenient for him to temporarily misappropriate it.

A Guang saw him running back and forth with sweat on his head, but heard him say he wanted to buy a house, and his chin almost dropped in shock.

"You intend to settle down here, and buy a house? Are you crazy!"

"They don't rent but sell. I thought it was cheap so I bought it. It's just a bit dilapidated, but it can also house people. Inside, it's like a siheyuan, with four or five rooms, and a large courtyard at the back door. And it's on the street."

Ye Yaodong's face was red from the sun, full of joy. He knew people here, so he wasn't afraid of being pitted, and didn't have to worry about the procedures.

Besides, he also asked the neighbors in front, knowing that this family really ran abroad decades ago. This trip back was indeed intended to deal with the house, pick up the elderly, and the whole family would leave.

"You aren't afraid that we won't come next year? At that time, the house will be abandoned there, isn't that a waste of money? Look at this year's situation, can we still earn this money next year?"

"That's hard to say."

Can't salvage jellyfish, he can salvage sea urchins. He doesn't know if there will be hairtail next year, but there are a lot of sea urchins under the bottom. After the jellyfish fishing season, he can come again.

It's just that he doesn't know what the leader meant when he told him earlier to be safe and sound these two days and salvage if he can, and that there might be new policy arrangements later.

Anyway, if they don't give outsider boats jellyfish to salvage, he will come earlier next year to salvage sea urchins. The sea area is vast and boundless, how can everything be restricted? Where is there a reason not to let outsider fishing boats dock?

A pier, with more outsider fishing boats docking and more cargo brought, will naturally consume locally, promoting local economic consumption. Look at this pier now, the sun is shining, and people are constantly pushing carts and riding bicycles to sell things.

Ye Yaodong heard someone selling ice pops, interrupted A Guang who wanted to answer, and first waved to the person selling ice pops. Just running back and forth, he was crazy with heat, so having an ice pop was just refreshing.

A Guang took a bite of the ice pop and felt comfortable all over, "Why don't you consider it again? After all, it's across provinces, not our side. If you bought it in our city, I definitely wouldn't say anything. I wouldn't say anything even if you bought it in the provincial capital. This is across provinces..."

"What's wrong with across provinces? After the traffic is convenient, it will only be a few hours' drive. Want to get rich, build roads first, have you heard of it? It will definitely have to build roads later. Business people locally, I heard they run all over the country. Don't worry, now it's considered having someone covering, here is a city anyway."

Mainly it was only 2200 yuan, and it was a street-facing location. This was delivered to his hand, don't regret it until you slap your thigh. And he didn't earn less these few days. 2200 yuan was his harvest for half a day.

If it was possible, he wanted to buy the whole street, but unfortunately, no one was willing to sell the house. How many families were still crowded together.

After money came too easily, naturally, he didn't feel as heartbroken as when he earned one or two cents bitterly.

He really felt that he couldn't miss it, and he also felt that it wasn't very far from their hometown, and the local area now also had a backer. Just the gunfight incident, he felt that people definitely couldn't be transferred away in the short term of a few years.

He definitely couldn't give up the sea urchins in that sea trench. How could he not salvage seven or eight out of ten? Earning a few hundred a day was much simpler than going out to trawl.

Money is easy to earn in this era, but his brain can only earn this money from the sea.

Also, if he can meet a suitable house, he can buy it, but now the development is too slow. Buying a house is equivalent to tying money there, and it will take a long, long time to rise.

Today is really a coincidence, and it's only 2200 yuan. Buying one won't suffer a big loss. Now he is loose in hand.

"Why don't you call Third Sister-in-law and ask?"

"How to make a phone call now? Dad hasn't come out yet. If Mom asks questions back home, how can I explain?"

"I see you don't dare to say it. Wasting money in this place is really not as good as going back to our city to buy one. The dilapidated houses in the city are about this price."

"Then this area is still large, plus the courtyard, covering more than 200 square meters. Just say whether you lend it or not?"

A Guang saw that he was determined to buy, and was also full of helplessness. Can he say he won't lend it?

"Lend... you've already opened your mouth, can I say I won't lend it? Just want to persuade you, let your brain be clearer, don't be dizzy by the big money earned in these few days, thinking 2000-something yuan is not money."

"Don't worry, I definitely bought this house worthily. I definitely don't dare to scatter big money, but 2000-something yuan can still buy one and put it there to try."

If he didn't bump into it, he definitely wouldn't think about buying a house now. But since he bumped into it, it's fate, and he just looked at it and it caught his eye.

2200 yuan is not much for him now. Buying one and putting it there, if he comes over every year, he can have a foothold. If he doesn't come over, he doesn't have to worry about the house being occupied by others.

And the house is his. As long as he doesn't commit a crime, he can't be driven away if he wants to.

"Why don't I take a look with you? Taking advantage of the fact that no boats have returned yet, I won't be at ease if I don't look at it."

"Then hurry up, just waiting for you to pay."

The two hurriedly ran to the house Ye Yaodong looked at just now, and then in a while, A Guang handed the money for buying the house to him. However, Ye Yaodong looked at the time on his wrist and felt that it was no longer needed.

The fishing boats were about to arrive at the shore. He would take it from the boat himself. Just make a verbal agreement with the landlord, go to the street office to get a certificate, and wait for the registration office to go to work in the afternoon, go to register together, and then pay the money. No need to borrow from A Guang.

After being reminded by him, A Guang also hurriedly pulled him back to the pier to receive the cargo together.

Ye Yaodong definitely had to guard the cargo on his own fishing boat, waiting to weigh and get the cargo list and payment.

After weighing the cargo and getting the money, he sent the Dong Sheng to receive the cargo again. He didn't have time to go to the sea in the afternoon now, just told them about the accommodation arrangements for the house at night, and then hurriedly went to trade the house.

After the dust settled and he got the registration certificate, the smile on his face bloomed. When he returned to the pier, he kept shaking the list in his hand in front of A Guang.

"Alright, alright, I know you are a rich man now, buying houses casually, so stop showing off in front of a poor man like me."

"Where are you a poor man? If I am the richest man in Bai Sha Village, you are the third richest in Bai Sha Village."

A Guang looked at him suspiciously, "Who is the second richest?"

"Buddha says it cannot be said!"

"Cut, who doesn't know? Isn't it Lin Jishang? In the village, there have been rumors for the past two years that he is smuggling, but later there were rumors that he is shining shoes, and now there are rumors that he is doing business. Who knows what he is doing? Anyway, he should probably be very rich. I heard that he has all kinds of small electrical appliances at home, and he is keeping up with your family."

"Do you want to buy a house here too?"

"You think I'm crazy like you? Even if I want to buy, I'll run to our city to buy. My money is burning, and I can still buy it here?"

"Sigh, you don't understand!"

A Guang rolled his eyes fiercely and didn't care about him. Anyway, he really had a lot of money.

"You bought it now, can you live in it tonight? Isn't the family still living in it?"

"Told them, I urgently need to move in tonight. Their luggage has always been packed. They said it has been sold for more than a week, but no one has bought it. They thought about waiting for two more days, and if no one bought it, they would leave directly, and the house would be entrusted to others to look after. Just talked about it, and they said they would go to the hostel at night."

"Oh, quite sensible."

"They are anxious to sell and get rid of it, and leave without worries. I don't bargain with them, just let them move out today."

"Just right, there are still three hours before it gets dark."

Ye Yaodong slapped his thigh, "Taking advantage of before dark, I'll go buy a few locks, and then I'll go over and change the door locks."

"Go, go, don't be an eyesore here."

He did what he said, couldn't care about just sitting down, and ran everywhere again.

The clothes on his body were wet with sweat and never dried. From morning until now, he ran under the sun all day. If he took them off, he could probably wring out water. Although he was wearing long sleeves and long pants, the hat on his head didn't shade the sun much, and his face and neck were still tanned a big circle, red and red.

At night, after the boatmen came back, they knew they didn't have to sleep on the boat anymore, didn't have to squeeze into the large dormitory, and there was a place to dry jellyfish blood, so they were all very happy.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. Today he was a hands-off boss for most of the day, and the fishing boats didn't have any mistakes, still selling for over 4200. He felt that he didn't have to go to sea in the future.

"Adong, did you go to the Sea Police Bureau this morning? How did it go?"

"You still know I went to the Sea Police Bureau? Money earned enough, finally remembered to ask? If I didn't know, I would have thought that everyone caught was invited by me, so I was the only one running back and forth."

Everyone laughed awkwardly.

"Isn't it because you have connections, everyone is counting on you..."

"Yes, you are the most capable here. After such a big thing happened, we can only count on you to find connections to help."

"We are all useless. Even if we go, it's useless. We can't speak, and we only add trouble. We are afraid of delaying your big event."

"Right, everyone is counting on you, so you should take more responsibility. We are all fellow villagers, not outsiders. Everyone believes you can handle it well..."

"What the hell, two days ago you were still questioning, today you started wearing high hats."

A Guang helped, "Wait, there is no news yet. Whether they can be released, how many people can be released, what price has to be paid, and what about the rest, I don't know yet. You guys pray, maybe you can't salvage for a few days."

"Really? What does it mean that we can't salvage for a few days?"

"Don't give us outsiders to salvage? Want to drive us away?"

"How can it be so domineering? The sea doesn't belong to anyone..."

A Guang slapped his mouth, regretting that he talked too much. If he had known, he would have been like Dongzi, not paying attention to them.

"Nothing else, I just said it casually. I was thinking that our two sides combined are 40-something boats, which is more than last year. Last year, we only fished for more than half a month, and there were more monks than porridge. This year it's probably about the same."

"That's true..."

Everyone didn't hold onto that sentence and whispered to each other again.

"It's okay to earn for so many days. In the past few days, each of our boats could split 300-something, and in more than half a month, it could be several thousand..."

"Yes, yes, don't expect to be like them last year, each earning ten thousand yuan. Earning so much in less than a month is already a pie falling from the sky."

"I am also satisfied. After such a big thing happened, I am Amitabha if I can earn money and go back safely. Every night I have to worship Mazu on the boat."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about those discussing people, let the boatmen on the boat pack up their things and move off the boat, and led them to the newly bought siheyuan.

"This side is quite large, much larger than the previous foothold..."

"Adong, you say we moved so many things here again. If we are bullied by the locals again, we might not be as lucky as last time, and we won't even have time to run..."

"Right, why don't we put all the things on the boat, just sleep here, and add drying jellyfish?"

"What are you afraid of? No need to run away this time."

"Yes, what are you thinking? Adong has connections in this city. Although it is a bit far from the salvaging point, at least there is someone covering here, which will be safer than the previous town."

Someone muttered, "Didn't we say there was a Gongan we knew in that town before..."

Ye Yaodong explained, "It's different. That was just temporarily climbed onto, and it wasn't that reliable at critical moments. Anyway, you guys can stay at ease."

He didn't talk about the grace of saving his life, nor did he talk about the house being his. Be low-key. Otherwise, after returning to the village, a large group of people would spread rumors, and then everything would have to look for him. Although they look for him now, it's false and true, and he can find excuses later.

"It's good to have a place to stay, don't struggle. Anyway, haven't we been getting along well with those locals in the past few days? Just persist for another 10 days peacefully."

"Just afraid that there will be nothing to salvage later, and we will have to grab again..."

"Don't worry about this. When there is not enough to salvage floating up, let's just give up and look for it on the sea surface. Anyway, the money in the early stage has been earned, isn't it?"

"Right, Adong is right. Anyway, the money has been earned. Later, let's give way to the locals and give them face."

"This is okay. How can it be on someone else's territory? We have to give people face. If the quantity is not much later, let it to them..."

"No need to say, there are 4 rooms inside, you arrange it yourself. Leave two on duty every day to sleep on the boat with me. I won't sleep here. And as I said before, the two on duty on the boat will stay here during the day to watch the house, and by the way, cook three meals a day. This time, don't call outsiders to cook."

Save outsiders from seeing the jellyfish they are drying all over the courtyard.

As for personnel arrangements, he of course had to let the people from their village match with the people from their town, one to one.

Ye Yaodong arranged it, watched them settle down, and started cooking and drying in an orderly manner. He also sat and watched until all the jellyfish were dried, and one by one they yawned and went back to the room to sleep. Only then did he take the two on duty to the boat with him.

And the fishing boats on the shore had already finished their work, but they were drying jellyfish everywhere, so it was not easy to lie down. Some even lay on his small boats.

When he arrived, they acted first and reported later.

He didn't care, let them be. Anyway, those boats of his were not drying jellyfish now, and they were empty. If there was no place to sleep, let them sleep, and by the way, let them watch his boats.

It's just that he didn't let them on the Dong Sheng, and as usual, he drove it to the middle of the sea to sleep.

After lying in the quilt, he used a flashlight to shine, wrote and drew on the notebook himself, recorded today's accounts, and crossed out one day from the handwritten date.

Only out for half a month, didn't expect so many things to happen, and didn't expect to buy a siheyuan in the town today.

He looked at the remaining undated dates again. There was only one week left until the end of the month. The cargo emerging from the sea trench in the past two days was getting more and more, and he believed he could support it until the end of the month.

Work hard to earn for another week, and he would probably have news of his father.

Earning over 4000 yuan a day on average, he could earn another 30,000 yuan or so. In the past 4 days, he had already earned.

Plus the 10,000 yuan earned when he first came, salvaging sea urchins and fishing for hairtail.

Calculating it, he had already earned 25,000 in less than ten days since he came out. By the end of the month, he would earn another 30,000. He would earn over 50,000 in less than a month.

Calculating and calculating, the corners of his mouth split into a smile. If the quantity is small later, he can indeed directly give the territory to the locals, or let others fight for it. He doesn't need to fight.

Those 10 small boats have already made him earn a full pot. It's too strong to salvage there without going back and forth every day.

If he is lucky, he can salvage for a few more days at the beginning of next month. That would really make a fortune, and it would all go towards 60,000 or 70,000.

Also, A Guang's brokerage fee can be divided into another sum. The 5 fishing boats he rented out, plus the Feng Shou, this trip is estimated to be close to 100,000.

Calculating like this, his heart was extremely hot.

Bitterly earned for three years, only saved 130,000 family foundation. This year, earning 100,000 in two months, the fist in his hand couldn't help but clench, and his heart was extremely excited.

He is really too strong, too awesome. Those 10 small boats are really too wise.

What is it to spend 2000-something to buy a siheyuan? ===== CHAPTER 1120 =====
