Chapter 1165: Father of President Ye

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone who sat down to eat again, observing each person with his eyes. Most of them put away their thoughts after he finished speaking, but there were still four people who occasionally aimed their eyes at the pile of goods.

With the master here, they definitely didn't dare to have any thoughts. Without the master, the greed in their hearts was magnified.

These 4 people were the ones who echoed immediately when they heard the incitement and kept trying to persuade him. Two were old boatmen on his boat, and the other two were young ones who went into the water.

Now that people are still outside, he couldn't do anything, to avoid making people anxious and creating a time bomb for himself. But after going back, those who spoke just now must be dismissed. They couldn't be allowed to stay on the boat and endanger his safety.

They looked fine before, but it was just because they had scruples. When he didn't have anything to make them scruple, or caught any difficulties or loopholes, they would definitely betray him without hesitation.

This danger was too great. Fortunately, because of this batch of goods from Fang Jingfu, everyone's ugly faces were exposed, which could be considered as picking out his hidden dangers.

He didn't dare to say whether it would be smooth from now on, but at least it reduced the risk. Anyway, after going back, these 4 definitely couldn't be kept. He had to re-hire two long-term boatmen.

It also served as killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, letting others see that those who are not honest will be fired directly and never used again.

How good is it to make money following him? At least 70 or 80 a month, and over a thousand a year. At his age, what kind of work can earn so much?

Not to mention the occasional red envelope, and earning more following him out to Zhejiang Province.

Killing is impossible. It's a society ruled by law, and they are all neighbors in the same village. But not being hired anymore is enough to make them feel the pain, and it can also make others alert, not to lose the opportunity to earn money steadily for a little petty profit.

It's hard to earn money in this era, and jobs aren't that easy to find. Workers will be laid off in a few years.

He tapped the table twice with his finger to remind those who were still staring, "Don't look anymore. Fang Jingfu came over in the afternoon. He knows how many there are. After eating, move our things to the boat's cabin and lock them up. If it's at night, there's no need to move too much, which saves trouble."

"Ah, okay."

The people who were warned again hurriedly took back their eyes.

Ye Yaodong didn't know when Fang Jingfu's night shift workers would come, but they probably had to wait until the workers finished dinner.

It would take an hour or two to go back, and then arrange for people to come over. Going back and forth, it would probably be after seven or eight o'clock when they arrived here. It was only 6 o'clock now, which was still early.

After the meal, he sat in the main hall and watched, letting them tidy up the goods, to avoid these people taking advantage of him not watching. However, no matter how much he watched, he had to get up and move if there was something to do.

People from Fang Jingfu's side came over at about the same time he expected, but he didn't come himself. The one who came was his younger brother, who came to supervise the work at night and count the pieces for the workers by the way.

Ye Yaodong watched someone take over this pile of goods, got up and said hello, let them check if there was any loss of goods, and then got up and stopped guarding, and went to do his own things.

They were going back soon, so things here were considered to have come to an end, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the workers had also moved some of the sundries at home to the boat twice, which was considered almost moved, leaving only some simple personal luggage.

He asked Ye Fu: "Everything checked? Nothing left behind?"

"Almost. Except for what was in the house, the pots and pans we brought were all packed and moved to the boat."

"That's good. Then sleep early at night. Just bring your own luggage to the boat at night."

"Mm. There are a few people still assembling lighters there. Should I stop them?"

Ye Yaodong watched a few workers who had just finished moving and gathered to help assemble and do part-time jobs. He didn't stop them. It was fine to do legitimate work to earn wages.

Although it was a part-time job and they received two salaries, he had nothing to do now. It was fine for them to do the work that should be done. Earning money by their own labor was better than petty theft.

He just reminded them by shouting that they would set off at 2 o'clock in the night, telling them to sleep early and not delay the time to go back.

Ye Fu saw him return to the room and followed him back to the room. He hesitated for a moment and asked again: "We didn't take anything, didn't move anything. Will they think we stole it?"

"No. Didn't I say? Fang Jingfu came over in the afternoon, came over two or three hours early, and stayed until you came back. He knows clearly whether we took it or not. His younger brother was also counting pieces last night. When he just came over, I asked him to count it. He definitely has a count."

"That's good. Otherwise, if they think we took it even if we didn't, that would be unjust."

"Mm. After going back, dismiss Li San Shu and A Lin Shu. Just settle the wages until tomorrow. Tell them after we get home tomorrow and let them find work themselves. Don't let them work for us in the future. As for the others who were called separately, anyway, they won't be used after tomorrow, so there's no need to say anything else."

Ye Fu was surprised and opened his mouth. "Is it because they heard the incitement just now, so they also followed suit and wanted to steal?"

"Mm. Now that they can have crooked thoughts about those goods, they can have crooked thoughts about my things in the future. Better dismiss them early. Besides, those two are also getting old. Better stay at home and look after their grandchildren. Leave the adventurous work at sea to the young people."

Ye Fu sighed. "Fine, you decide. Just wait until we get home. Don't say it now, to avoid them getting angry and causing trouble."

"I know. You tell them after we go back. After all, you called them. I'll also warn the others after we go back."

"Mm."

The father and son talked in the room for a while. Seeing it was almost 9 o'clock, they closed their eyes. They still had to get up early at night and keep their spirits up. Now they must have a good rest.

The lighters outside only needed to be assembled, so it wouldn't be very noisy. In the dead of night, even if everyone talked, they restrained themselves. In the middle of the night, people were in a state of exhaustion, and no one had the energy to keep talking, so the people in the house still slept peacefully.

Ye Yaodong was woken up by Ye Fu.

Waking up, he knew it was time and immediately got up after looking at his watch.

Everything was packed. He just washed up. Seeing that everyone else was up, he set off immediately. Some people didn't even need to wash up. They just took their things and followed after waking up.

Of course, before leaving, he also said hello to the people who were working in the workshop.

The temperature difference between day and night was large, and the cold wind blew at night. They clearly felt that autumn was coming.

They only experienced it when they came out tonight. Otherwise, it was still hot during the day.

Ye Fu rubbed his arms. "A bit cool. Fortunately, there's no need to blow the wind after getting on the boat."

"You driving the boat later?"

"Mm."

However, after arriving at the boat, everyone wanted to drill into the cabin. Ye Fu stopped everyone, holding several sheets of yellow paper in his hand.

"Don't rush to sleep. Get rid of the bad luck first. When we returned home in the afternoon, there were no such things at home. I thought about it and waited until we got on the boat to do it. Dongzi didn't use a fire basin at that time, but fortunately, we didn't spend the night inside, so it doesn't matter."

Ye Yaodong twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything.

Not spending the night inside was equivalent to just being called in for questioning. It hadn't even exceeded 12 hours. Didn't expect his father to still remember it.

Seeing that he was still brooding over the second arrest.

Others also echoed, saying they all had to get rid of the bad luck, and they were very cooperative with Ye Fu's work.

Ye Fu circled each person's head and limbs with yellow paper and burned several sheets.

The last sheet was lit and he wanted to use it on Ye Yaodong's head. Thinking that he was too lucky and didn't have his share several times, he just turned three times over his head, circled the bow of the boat with the remaining unburned yellow paper, and muttered something in his mouth. Only after it burned out did he put his hands together and worship the sea.

"Alright, I'll go drive the boat and you guys go to sleep. Come replace me when you wake up, Dongzi."

"Good."

When the big fishing boat sailed away from the shore, there were also some early-rising fishermen on the shore watching, all very curious.

However, it had nothing to do with them. Everyone just watched this boat that had stayed at their pier for a month or two leave.

After Ye Yaodong returned to his bunk and lay down, he turned on his side and looked at the position where the photo was pasted on the wall. It was pitch black and he couldn't see the photo, but he could reach out and touch it.

Another trip of earning money safely.

However, looking at Fang Jingfu's lighter workshop, he felt that the money he earned was too slow and too hard.

Look at others, what is called making money every day?

He worked hard for three years to have his current family business. Not to mention the real estate, just the cash was only a little over 200,000.

And looking at Fang Jingfu's goods, he calculated the daily output himself, and he could know that it wouldn't take long before he could immediately earn a lot of money.

One month could be worth his 3 years.

Thinking about it made him angry. But who told him he had no ability, didn't know much, and had no culture? He knew everything from his previous life's experience. What's more, he was a loser in his previous life and didn't have much experience. Combining two lives, he didn't know as much as others knew in one life. After being reborn, he could only earn what he knew.

However, he couldn't earn money outside his cognition, but he could follow others to earn it. But the premise is that this person must be reliable.

Ye Yaodong tossed and turned all night thinking about Fang Jingfu.

He didn't know much about this person before, and he didn't know what he was like. His perception was only that he was not bad. However, today's incident also showed that this person was quite conscientious and quite bold.

After the night shift workers came, he listened to everyone chatting for a few words. Although he couldn't understand, he knew they were talking about what happened during the day. He also inquired about it and learned that these people were also released by spending money.

He didn't know how much money was spent on the relationship, so they could continue to work after being released.

Fang Jingfu didn't say a word to him about spending money after he came in the afternoon. He thought that as long as he found connections and sent gifts, it would be fine. It was indeed quite loyal. Looking at it this way, his character should be no problem.

He was probably very short of money now and should really need his investment.

Thinking of the 2,000 lighters he brought back, he'd better see how long it would take to sell them.

It just so happened to investigate their local market. If they partnered, it could also provide a little more guarantee. At the very least, he could get a little more low-priced goods. Even if he really met someone unreliable and couldn't get his principal back and was cheated, the money earned from low-priced goods could also fill the hole.

After thinking wildly for a while, listening to the snoring and noisy sounds in his ears, he gradually fell asleep.

After sleeping until he woke up naturally, he ate breakfast and went to replace his father. Although he didn't rest well on the boat, he at least closed his eyes and rested, which was better than opening his eyes until dawn.

He cheered up and controlled the fishing boat.

He had run back and forth several times, and he was familiar with it, so it didn't have to be his father.

The journey was calm and smooth, which was earlier than the last few times.

When they arrived home, it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which was when the sun was big. There were few fishing boats at the pier, and they all had to wait until the sun went down before fishing boats returned.

As soon as their boat stopped in the middle of the sea outside the village pier, someone went home to report the news, and a boat immediately opened to pick them up.

Ye Yaodong was curious. Weren't the fishing boats all rented out? It should not have returned at this time, right?

However, when he saw that the words on the hull of the fishing boat were Dongsheng 004, he knew that this was another boat delivered by the shipyard. There was also a big red flower tied on the bow of the boat. It looked like it was delivered in these two days.

Ye Fu said happily: "Delivered another one? It's quite fast. Then are there only three left?"

"Right, only three left. It is estimated that they will all be delivered before the New Year."

"That's quite fast. The boat that you three brothers partnered on can also be in hand by the end of the year."

"Mm."

The boats in hand by the end of the year, and the fresh-receiving boat around the middle of next year, and the two boats partnered with friends at the end of next year.

Calculating the days, it passed quite fast. It was already mid-October, and there was not much time left before the New Year.

Ye Yaodong waited until the boat came to the front before asking Wang Guangliang: "When was this boat delivered?"

"It was the day before yesterday. Dong Ge, it was your eldest brother and second brother who went to help drive it back. Dong Ge, you came back today, why didn't Third Sister-in-law notify us in advance? We didn't know."

"There was a change, so I decided to come back temporarily."

"What change? Is it serious? Everyone said you would come back after it cooled down. Now it's still hot during the day..."

Ye Fu interrupted his questioning unhappily: "What are you asking? Hurry up and move the things to the boat first, and go back and talk about it. Floating on the sea for a day, everyone is tired."

"Okay, okay..."

His father was unable to let go of his face and didn't want people to know he was arrested for the second time.

Ye Yaodong smiled and went to see if there was anything left to move. When the two boats were together just now, the boatmen had already moved them first.

After they finished organizing the things on the boat and moved them to the new boat, Lin Xiuqing was also waiting on the shore.

As soon as he got off the boat, she immediately greeted him.

"Why did you come back without notifying us in advance? I didn't know you came back today."

"It's a surprise attack!"

"What do you mean?"

"Inspection!"

"Crazy. What happened? Didn't you usually call a day in advance before coming back?"

Ye Fu interrupted them: "The sun is so big, what is there to talk about on this pier? If you have anything to say, talk about it when you go back."

A Cai and others also stood on the side, smiling and saying: "Adong earned big money again? Only your boat went on this trip, so you should have earned a lot of money, right?"

"What's that? It's all risking your life, just earning some hard-earned money."

Ye Yaodong touched the lighter in his pocket, handed one to A Cai, and said: "Give it to you."

"What is this? Oh my, giving me a gift? This is too surprising."

A Cai took the small rectangular iron box in his hand in surprise. "What is this?"

"Lighter, can be used to start a fire."

"Ah! Damn! Lighter, this is not cheap. A Friendship Store one is hundreds of yuan, and a cheap one is over a hundred. You got rich? Such a big deal?"

A Gui and several other goods receivers on the side also exclaimed, their eyes widened as they looked at the lighter in A Cai's hand.

"How much money did you make? Is it too casual to send this?"

"Holy crap, hundreds of yuan of things are sent out so casually? I can't sell that much money."

"Don't pee and look at yourself. Human traffickers don't look at you either. They only want women and children."

Ye Yaodong smiled and explained: "This is a specialty I brought back from this trip. It's produced locally, not imported foreign goods. It's cheap, only 10 yuan each. It doesn't need to be that expensive. Foreigners' things are all deceptive."

"10 yuan!?"

"Only 10 yuan, so cheap?"

"Ah, only 10 yuan?"

"Really? This lighter looks like a high-end product, only 10 yuan?"

"Why would I lie to you? It's no good for me. If it's hundreds of yuan, if I dare to send it out, my father can break my leg, and my wife can scold me to death."

A Cai was still surprised. He kept flipping through the lighter in his hand, and slid it twice, looking at the small flame that was strung up, to confirm that this was a lighter. But one was only 10 yuan?

"Really only 10 yuan?"

"Really. I also brought a lot back. If one is hundreds of yuan, I'm farting money? You're not my ancestor, I'm still sending you hundreds of yuan of things. I can't afford a few if I sell my boat."

"This is too cheap. It's only 10 yuan? Then I won't be polite. Thank you!" A Cai happily took the lighter in his hand and kept looking at it.

People next to him were also envious.

"Only 10 yuan each, is it the same? How many did you bring back? Give me one?"

"Sell me one too? Is it enough?"

"Friendship Store is really that expensive? Are you guys lying to us? Hundreds of yuan and 10 yuan are very different?"

A Cai rolled his eyes. "Can I lie to everyone? Friendship Store also needs foreign exchange certificates. Can such foreign goods be cheap? Expensive to death. This one is 10 yuan, it's really too cost-effective..."

"Then I want one too..."

Everything is afraid of comparison. After comparison, knowing that they took a big advantage, how can anyone not be tempted.

Ye Yaodong talked to them for a few words, and these few people who partnered to receive goods had already booked one each.

Compared with the villagers, they were relatively loose, and most of them smoked. Seeing such a convenient lighter, how could they not want it.

"Fine. If you want it, I'll keep it for you. Otherwise, I'll pull it to the city tomorrow and put it in the shop in the city to sell."

"I'll tell you, this lighter is newly developed by a local researcher. It hasn't been a few months, and there aren't many in the market, and it hasn't been widely circulated yet. I also know people, so I brought some back at a low price."

"Although this lighter is cheap, it's not inferior to those foreign goods. It's just missing a few foreign letters. I've used a lighter for more than half a month, and it's still intact. All the boatmen on my boat can testify. Although it's cheap, you can rest assured."

"I brought this back and originally had to add a little shipping fee, so I sold it to everyone for 10 yuan. However, we are all fellow villagers, not outsiders, and we deal with each other every day, so I won't earn everyone's money. Anyway, it's brought back by the way. Just count it as 8 yuan for everyone."

"Alright, alright, alright. Adong is still loyal and talks about feelings, and even gave us two yuan less."

"Only 8 yuan, Adong is too conscientious. I'll help you promote it later..."

"Don't. These are for me to make money. If you promote it everywhere that it's only 8 yuan, then I won't be able to make money. It's fine to buy a few. If someone runs over and tells me they want to buy it for 8 yuan, then I'll lose money. I can sell it for 10 yuan when I pull it to the city."

"Alright, alright, alright. We won't talk much."

How can they not talk much? A little thing in the village can be spread everywhere. How can it be hidden? He is also playing hard to get, hunger marketing.

Knowing that this village won't have this shop, those who were hesitant were also worried about not taking advantage. After all, Friendship Store can sell for one or two hundred, two or three hundred.

Now it's only 8 yuan, and he didn't make money. He sold face. If he pulls it to the city, he can sell it for 10 yuan. If he doesn't buy it now, he won't be able to buy it in the future.

Ye Yaodong looked at the boatmen who were still moving goods one after another, and smiled and said: "There are too many sundries I brought back, and they haven't been sorted out yet. If you want them, go to my house to get them later. It's not easy to unpack the boxes now."

"Fine, no rush."

A Cai put the lighter into his chest pocket, opened the pocket and looked at it, patted it, and then happily said: "I'm idle anyway, so I'll help you move the goods to the tractor."

"How can I be embarrassed..."

"It's just a helping hand, what's there to be embarrassed about? Who is who between us? Everyone, help me move the goods and get them to his house early. We can also buy one early. This lighter looks very foreign."

Everyone also rolled up their sleeves and came to help.

Lin Xiuqing watched them coming and going, and couldn't get a word in. She just followed and asked a few questions, but Ye Yaodong was in a hurry to sell goods and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

She could only wait for him to finish selling the goods before finding a chance to pull him and ask: "Is this lighter of yours really that cheap? Is Friendship Store really that expensive?"

Cheap and expensive are compared.

Ye Yaodong took out another lighter from his pocket, touched a cigarette, lit it for himself, and then raised his chin at her in a cool way.

"See? Do you feel that your husband is particularly handsome?"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him irritably. "I'm asking you. Can handsome be eaten as a meal? Marry a man, marry

Originally, no one had bad intentions at the beginning, just happily receiving money. It was just that they were incited by a voice, which aroused the greed in their hearts. Otherwise, no one had this idea at the beginning.

Ye Yaodong also remembered the first person who spoke and the person who echoed. Now that they hadn't gone back, it was hard to do anything. He would talk about it after going back.

Originally, he didn't think in this direction all day and didn't think about moving these things.

Fang Jingfu is not a fool. He came over in the afternoon and stayed here for so long. Why didn't he see if his goods were missing?

He stayed with him for so long in the afternoon and chatted for so long. His attitude was very good, and he kept comforting him. He must have seen that he hadn't moved these goods for most of the day.

"Everyone is greedy for money and lust, but think about whether it's worth it first. Some of you have been in for the second time, so be honest."

Everyone nodded regretfully.

"Then forget it."

ps: My brain is a bit mushy.

Fortunately, I know how to read comments and watch the feedback in the background from time to time. I will correct the inappropriate plots immediately. Sorry, I will add more chapters in two days as compensation. ===== CHAPTER 1165 =====

"Oh, that's right, Adong, I heard you became an association president and became an official? Is it true or false? It spread all over the village a while ago, saying you became an official outside..."

They just said that everyone pricked up their ears, waiting to hear the conversation between the couple.

Lin Xiuqing had just spoken and wanted to ask two more questions when she was interrupted by everyone, so she could only listen to everyone's flattery.

"Uncle Ye, did Adong really become an official outside?"

Ye Fu, who originally had no expression on his face, brought a smile to his face when he heard everyone asking him this, and said happily: "Yes, he was recommended by the local leaders and became the president of the so-called Fishery... Fishery Association. Now people in the local area have to call him President Ye."

Ye Yaodong was a bit embarrassed.

"Ah, really? Did he really become an official? President Ye sounds like a big official, very majestic."

"Then wouldn't you become the father of President Ye? Wow, your old face is glowing..."

"Then shouldn't we set off firecrackers to celebrate when we go home? And burn incense to tell the ancestors?"

Ye Fu's old face bloomed with a smile, and he stopped moving the goods, "Indeed, we have to set off firecrackers when we go home, and tell the ancestors. He really has achieved success."

"Then what does the Fishery Association do? What do they manage? Then what about when he comes back to the village? Doesn't he have to stay there?" Acai asked curiously.

Agui also asked: "Then won't Adong have to leave in a few days? Is this returning home in glory?"

"No, his association, I heard it manages the ocean, manages all marine life, manages research on some marine products, and I heard it can also build bridges and manage the marine product business... It manages a lot, but he doesn't need to do the work. He is the president, and there are naturally people under him to do the work..."

Ye Fu had already inquired about what the Fishery Association was for after he became president, and it was just right to brag about it when he came back.

Just now, Aqing asked about the president, which hit his heart.
