Chapter 1315

~26 min read 5,112 words

They first got on a small boat, paid a little boat fare, and then were sent to the big boat.

Hong Wenle walked around on the big boat, clicking his tongue incessantly.

What shocked him wasn't that Ye Yaodong bought this boat for over a hundred thousand, but that Ye Yaodong could buy it personally. You have to know, this is a fisherman, a fisherman in his twenties. How long has he been working?

Two years ago, he was still carrying a bucket to sell seafood, and he was still going out to sea with his friends to earn worker wages. How long has it been? He can afford a boat worth over a hundred thousand?

Money is easy to earn now, but is it this easy to earn?

And being able to take out over a hundred thousand to buy a boat shows that he definitely has more than a hundred thousand in his hands.

It's normal for ordinary fishermen to borrow money to buy a boat for a few thousand, or to partner to buy one for ten thousand.

But wanting to easily take out over a hundred thousand to buy a boat personally without partnering with anyone, how is that possible?

"How come every time I see you, there's a surprise? 'After three days of separation, one should look at each other with new eyes.' This sentence is not wrong at all."

Ye Yaodong was a bit proud, "That's right."

"This boat must have taken two years to build, right?"

"Not that long, I bought it in Zhejiang Province."

"You ran to Zhejiang Province to buy it?" Hong Wenle looked at him in surprise, then looked enlightened, "I understand."

"Understand what?"

"I get it."

"You get what?"

"I know."

"What do you know again?" Ye Yaodong looked at him speechlessly, "I am innocent, an innocent fisherman earning money by labor."

"I know, I know. You can buy a boat worth over a hundred thousand just like that. It looks like you haven't earned little in the past year or two, right? Why do you still open your mouth every day saying you're an innocent fisherman?"

"I have many boats, so naturally, I earn money fast. If I'm not a fisherman, what am I? A boat captain or a boat boss? Isn't it all the same? I'm also a fisherman."

"That's right. Calling yourself a boat boss sounds much more pleasant. Which innocent fisherman can have assets of hundreds of thousands?"

"Me!"

Hong Wenle didn't believe him at all. After walking around and enjoying enough, he said, "You are about to rise to prominence."

"Just trying to make a living. I have to hurry and drive the boat back to the village. Do you want to go ashore or go together?"

"Since I'm already on the boat, let's go together. It just so happens that being idle is being idle."

Hearing him say this, Ye Yaodong naturally went to drive the boat first, leaving his Big Brother and Ye Erge to accompany the guest to talk and chat.

When he drove the boat near the pier in the village, Hong Wenle knew how he bought this boat; it really was innocent.

Looking at the three brothers preparing to set off fireworks, he sighed, "Hey, why is money so easy for you to earn?"

"Where is it easy to earn? It's all about having the guts to fight everywhere and working hard to earn money."

After Ye Yaodong lit the fuse of the fireworks, he quickly retreated to the side, and then listened to the fireworks popping.

At the same time, the sound of fireworks also came from the pier. As soon as he heard it, he knew it was his father setting them off.

Then in a while, his father drove the boat and brought his mother, Aqing, and Ye Xiaoxi over.

As soon as Ye Mu climbed onto the boat, she touched everything, her mouth unable to close from smiling, "This is the boat you said on the phone you spent over a hundred thousand to buy. It's really imposing and you're really willing to spend. This is enough for me and your father to eat until we're old, and we can even take it into the coffin."

"You're already in the coffin, what are you taking it for?" Ye Fu dismantled her as usual.

"I'm just saying, so much money, I can't spend it all until I close my eyes. He said he'd spend it, so he spent it. His heart is really ruthless. And he even dared to loan another 200,000 from the bank, spending over 300,000 all at once. That gut is bigger than the sky."

"Loan 200,000?" Hong Wenle was shocked again.

"Dongzi, is this your friend?" Ye Mu smiled all over her face, "Isn't it? He's reckless and messing around outside. Besides spending over a hundred thousand to buy this boat, he also went to the bank for a loan of 200,000."

"And he insists that the bank begged him to loan it, saying that being able to take 200,000 out of the bank is also an ability."

"His guts are so big, and he doesn't say to take it easy. He treats 200,000 like 20, loaning it just like that, and he spent it all."

"Oh my, we ordinary people have never seen so much money in our lives. How could we dare to spend it like this? Only he messes around. It's a good thing he bought a boat and didn't do anything else. It sounds a bit more reassuring."

"My heart is in my throat. When I first found out, I couldn't eat or sleep well, but he was like nothing happened. He already has ten or twenty boats in his hands, and he still buys boats. He doesn't think it's too many..."

"The boat captains he hired are ten or twenty, and there are over 200 workers. Now he's messing with such a big boat. It's glorious, but I'm really worried..."

"Look at those boats floating over there, they are also his. Look, he loaned 200,000 and bought this kind of boat, and he bought several at once..."

"The money was spent just like that, and he doesn't feel heartache at all..."

Ye Mu talked to Hong Wenle with great acting skills, so excited. Where is the panic and worry of loaning 200,000?

Ye Yaodong was speechless listening to it. If she could collect her excitement, it would be more believable.

I don't know how many times his mother has said these words in the village and how many people she has told.

She said such a long string so fluently without stopping, and didn't give Hong Wenle any space to express his opinion.

He was too lazy to pay attention to his mother; let her say it, let her say it hard.

He watched Ye Xiaoxi jumping around everywhere, looking excited, the bells on her neck and hands jingling constantly, and asked Lin Xiuqing.

"Why did you bring her?"

"She insisted on following. After you rode the motorcycle away earlier, I told her you went to drive a big boat and told her to be obedient and I'd take her to the pier to see later. Just now Father said he wanted to take us on the boat to take a look, and she wanted to follow. She even wanted to bring all the dogs. If I hadn't stopped her, there would already be a boat full of dogs."

At this time, a wave hit the rear deck, the boat shook, and she sat on the deck with a thud.

"Oh!"

Ye Yaodong hurriedly stepped forward to pull her up, "Don't run, there are waves, the boat is shaking."

"It's so fun, Daddy, it's so fun, shaking..."

"Daddy, your boat is so big and so amazing..."

"Daddy, you're so great, excellent..."

He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. What kind of words are these?

"Daddy, you are the most amazing in the village. Grandpa said the boat can fight the devils. Daddy, hurry up!"

"I go? Why don't you ask your grandpa to go? He'll lead the charge."

"Good!"

Ye Xiaoxi listened and immediately went to find Ye Fu.

Hong Wenle walked over to him, "Are you really innocent?"

"Nonsense."

"How did you think of buying so many boats? Didn't expect you to even get a commission and earn so much? Is fishing this profitable?"

"That depends on what fish you catch. Those with big guts chase the fishing season. Wherever there is a fishing season, they run there. If you are lucky, you can earn. Do ordinary people dare?"

"Even if they dare, they don't have the conditions. You need a good boat to run everywhere. What use are those small boats and small wooden boats of the former fishing brigade? It has to be the kind of boat you have now. It looks advanced and big, can withstand wind and waves, and of course, can run everywhere."

"Isn't that it? This is the reason why I keep buying boats. From small boats to big boats, from big boats to super big boats, step by step. Didn't I earn it?"

Ye Yaodong deliberately raised his voice when he said this, and then looked at Lin Xiuqing and Ye Mu.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and glared at him reproachfully.

Ye Mu smiled and said, "You're right. You can't become a big fat man in one breath. You have to take it easy when spending money. That 200,000 was spent, and I don't know when it can be earned back. It's also good that Aqing didn't make a scene with you."

"Which village is this young man from? When did you make friends? He looks quite upright and very spirited."

Ye Mu looked at Hong Wenle with a smile, "Are you married? Do you have a partner? Why don't I introduce one to you, Auntie guarantees she's pretty."

"Ah?"

Hong Wenle was confused. Why is she introducing a partner to him?

Ye Mu talked happily to herself, "Isn't Dongqing still single? The in-laws are very anxious. I think the two of them are a good match, both are pretty. The children born in the future will definitely be fair and good-looking..."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but support his forehead, "No, Mother, you're thinking too far, right? You don't even know what kind of family he has, and you've already thought about the children born in the future?"

"This young man looks fair and pretty, and he's dressed well. His conditions must not be bad, and he has a good relationship with you. You brought him to the boat on the first trip of the big boat, so this person must be reliable."

"Don't think blindly. He is the eldest young master of the Hongsheng Hotel in town. Don't think about being a matchmaker just because you see someone pretty, randomly pointing out mandarin ducks."

"Ah? Is this still a big boss? Hehe, I said it, he doesn't look like an ordinary person. You are quite capable of making friends. Are you married, young man?"

"Uh, soon, soon. When I get married, I will send wedding candies to Comrade Ye Yaodong."

"That's a pity. Tomorrow at noon, Dongzi is hosting 20 tables to treat guests. You come to eat too."

Hong Wenle looked at him in surprise.

Ye Yaodong also smiled and invited, "That's right. With such a big boat in hand, I must express it. So tomorrow I'm hosting 20 tables to treat relatives, friends, and workers to eat. You come too, let's liven things up together. I wanted to invite you just now, but I've been driving the boat. Now my mother said it first."

"Come, they are all Dongzi's friends, don't be an outsider."

Ye Fu was being pestered by Ye Xiaoxi to fight the devils and had a headache, so he hurriedly took the conversation, saying, "Right, come to our house for a meal and liven things up."

Hong Wenle couldn't handle the enthusiasm of the old couple, so he smiled and agreed.

"What's going on with that 200,000 loan? Is there any saying?"

"I don't know if we have it here. I'll tell you in detail in a while..."

Ye Yaodong turned his head and said to his father, "If there's nothing else, you drive the boat and take them back first. I'll park the boat at the shelter."

"Good."

Actually, it's not that it can't be parked here, it's just that it's too far from the shore. Isn't that the same as parking in the middle of the sea? It's fine for a short time, but for a long time, the anchor underneath is easily loosened by the waves, and the boat will drift away.

If it's too close to the shore, it's also easy to run aground. Long-term grounding is easy to damage the hull.

Anyway, he definitely won't go out to sea before the New Year. He just came back yesterday, and he still has a bunch of things in his hands. Parking the boat at the shelter is the best; he just needs to go over and take a look periodically.

Lin Xiuqing went to pull Ye Xiaoxi, "Time to go home."

Ye Xiaoxi shook off her hand, "Don't want to go home, I don't want to go home."

Ye Fu pulled Ye Xiaoxi up, "Let's go, take you to fight the devils."

"Good, good..."

She jumped and followed Ye Fu to the small boat happily.

Lin Xiuqing followed helplessly.

Ye Mu looked at Hong Wenle with a smile and also exhorted him to remember to go to the house for a meal tomorrow noon.

After Hong Wenle nodded, he followed Ye Yaodong to the cockpit to ask about his loan.

Ye Yaodong also mentioned it to him.

Anyway, it's not taking money out of his pocket, so there's nothing he can't say.

Just like his mother said, being able to take money out of the bank is also something to be proud of.

After going to the shelter and parking the boat, he also finished telling the story.

They took the small boat back to the shore again.

"Why ask this? You also want to get a loan? Are you still short of this money?"

"This is not a matter of being short of money or not. Why not take it if it's given for free? But the post office in town shouldn't have it. I don't know if the county has it. Maybe I have to go to the city bank to ask. The small county is too small."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong chatted with him all the way while walking. After arriving at the hotel entrance, Hong Wenle also invited him in to sit for a while and drink tea.

He refused, only saying that he just came back yesterday, there are still a bunch of things at home, he has no time now, and the sun is about to set. He'll come over to drink tea when he's free in a few days.

Hong Wenle didn't force him.

Ye Yaodong rode the motorcycle and exhorted him to remember to go to his house for a meal tomorrow noon. If he doesn't know where his house is, just ask casually when entering the village.

Then he took his Big Brother and Ye Erge to ride away. However, smelling the fragrance halfway, he also let his Big Brother get off the car to buy a few oil cakes to take back.

Throughout the whole day, he only did these two things, but he was also busy without his feet touching the ground.

After returning home and drinking water, he asked his father about the banquet tomorrow.

"Everything is arranged. Tables, chairs, benches, bowls, and chopsticks are all rented. It's a good thing it's not near the end of the year. There are not many people hosting banquets now, so it's easy to rent. I ran through all the people at noon, and everyone was notified. Your mother has also called the chef and helpers."

"I'll give you the money in a while. The matter of buying groceries tomorrow morning is also handed over to you."

"I know. Then when are you going to the city, the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow. Finish the things at home first. When I drove the boat out in the afternoon, I took a look at the kelp farming area by the way. It looks like the scale is even bigger. Tomorrow I'll just chat with the village chief and the others."

"Yes, more was raised this year, 10 times more than last year. If it's 10 times this year next year, how are you going to sell it? What if it can't be sold then..."

"Rest assured, you don't have to worry about this. I've solved the sales channels. I'm not afraid of having too many vegetables, I'm only afraid of not having vegetables. This year's have long been sold out, and it's still not enough."

"It's good that you have an idea in your heart. Otherwise, what if the quantity gets bigger and bigger and you can't sell it and can't collect it? Everyone is holding you up now, and they will scold you then."

"I know."

"Eat first. Say whatever you have while eating. You just came back, and you've been running around all day, and you haven't been idle."

The old lady brought the dishes out bowl by bowl and let him eat first, "The chicken soup is already stewed. Eat first, and eat the chicken soup as a night snack when you want to sleep, so you'll be full."

Lin Xiuqing was already calling Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang at the door.

He picked up his chopsticks and ate first.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang, the two brothers, ran in like a gust of wind, each holding a ball in their arms, with Lin Xiuqing scolding behind them.

"Can't see anyone as soon as you get home, busier than your father. I can still see your father, but I can only see a shadow of you two."

The two brothers' faces were red. The sun had set, and there were gusts of cold wind outside. They were still sweating profusely, and they took off their clothes as soon as they entered the house.

"Put them on for me."

"So hot..."

Watching Lin Xiuqing pick up the whip, the two brothers could only honestly put on the cotton-padded jackets again, and then like a bellows, they kept fanning with the cotton-padded jackets.

Ye Chenghu even leaned to Ye Yaodong's side, "Daddy, when are you going on a long journey to earn money again?"

"What for?"

"Are you going after the New Year?"

"Are you driving me away? I'm not old yet, and there's no room for me in this house? Then what about when I'm old? Won't you have to bury me early?"

"Hehe... no, no, I'm just asking."

The old lady smiled and patted Ye Chenghu, letting him sit down to eat, "Your father is not leaving."

"Ah, not leaving?"

Ye Yaodong's face pulled, "Are you very disappointed? Otherwise, should I leave now?"

"Hehe, no, no, eat, Daddy. You worked hard to earn money, eat more. This meat is fat, eat more."

Ye Chenghu shrank his neck in fear, and then hurriedly clamped meat for him like a sycophant.

Ye Chengyang said, "Daddy, Big Brother wants you to go out to earn big money, and then buy him a soccer ball."

"Don't you have one already?"

Ye Chenghu said, "It has a bump."

"Then don't play with it, all toys will be confiscated later."

Ye Chenghu didn't dare to make a sound.

"Let me see your homework later, how is your handwriting? What about Ye Chengyang? You're also in first grade, you have to practice handwriting too."

Ye Chengyang also shrank his head, and neither of the two brothers dared to make a sound again.

Ye Xiaoxi looked at this brother, then at that brother, and then said loudly, "Give them all to me! Give all the toys to me!"

Seeing that she didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun, Lin Xiuqing knocked on her table, "Hurry up and eat yours."

"Brother glared at me."

The two brothers hurriedly lowered their heads.

Lin Xiuqing muttered again about how the two brothers disappeared as soon as they came back, calling friends and calling for friends, with more than half of the village's children running behind them, listening to their commands.

It's a good thing the toys were all collected for her, and only the ball was given, otherwise, I don't know if they could be called back at mealtime.

"Don't buy anything next time. You think beautifully, driving me out to earn money, and then coming back to buy gifts for you. You have a good idea. I don't know if I can eat a bite of your rice in this life."

"Daddy, ah..."

Ye Xiaoxi stood up, dug a big mouthful of rice with her small spoon, and stretched it far to send it to Ye Yaodong's mouth.

Ye Yaodong opened his mouth with relief, just wanting to praise her.

As a result, she sneezed loudly and sprayed saliva all over his face.

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the daughter's rice is not very delicious either..."

Ye Yaodong took out a handkerchief to wipe his face and sighed, "It seems that I still have to work hard to earn money. Sons are unreliable, and eating a daughter's rice is also difficult."

Ye Chenghu couldn't help explaining, "Daddy, I didn't want to drive you out, then I'll do the work for you."

"Then go pick the manure tomorrow."

"That's my grandfather's..." Ye Chenghu looked at Ye Fu, hurriedly shrank his neck again, and lowered his head to eat.

The old lady said at this time, "It's time to pick manure again."

"Can you not talk about such disgusting things while eating." Ye Fu pulled a long face and took out the tone of the head of the family.

Then he looked at Ye Yaodong again and talked about serious business, "How are you going to deal with that big boat?"

"What do you mean how to deal with it? Are you talking about going out to sea? Wait until after the New Year."

"Then you have to call the workers in advance and arrange it in advance. And are you going to drive this boat yourself, or hire someone?"

"I have already arranged it with Acai. After the New Year, he will go to the city, and the cargo collected will be handed over to him to handle. Let him sell it, so we don't have to go to the trouble of selling cargo."

"Then I think, just let you drive the fresh-fish collection boat first. Anyway, you just go out and collect the cargo of all the boats, hand it over to Acai to open the list, and then take the money."

"That Dongsheng boat will be handed over to Chen Laoqi to drive, and then give him a 10% commission, and the salary will be calculated separately. This allocation is just right."

"Then when I'm free in two days, I'll go find Uncle Jingye and ask him. Didn't the first boat I bought a few years ago sell to me by his friend? His friend partnered with someone to buy a boat over 30 meters."

"Just ask him. If we can go out to sea together then, we'll have a companion, and we won't be afraid of running far with just one boat."

Ye Fu nodded after listening, "You can plan like this, or just trawl in the near sea..."

"Forget it, such a big boat, it's better to run further to see. Anyway, find someone to understand the situation first."

"Hmm, it's almost New Year, they should be back soon. When the time comes, bring some specialties from other places to inquire."

"This matter is still early, let's talk later."

"Workers also have to be arranged in advance and called in advance. How is it early."

"Hmm, it's not urgent. Just decide a few from those who went to Zhoushi. At that time, 21 were called, and picking a few is enough."

"I'm afraid they bought their own boats, so why would they be workers for you again."

"Is a boat something you can have if you say so? It has to be built by a shipyard. There are plenty of people who want to work for me, no need to worry."

"Then you look at it." Ye Fu didn't say anything more.

The two brothers kept eating with their heads down, and after eating, they slipped away quietly and silently.

Until Lin Xiuqing saw the door crack leaking wind and found that the two had slipped away again, she was so angry that she complained about Ye Yaodong buying them so many toys.

Ye Yaodong didn't refute either. This is also childhood, and the scenery of childhood is also the most beautiful memory.

After the meal, he wandered around again to notify his friends to go to his house for a meal tomorrow noon.

He didn't find Fatty at Fatty's house, so he went to find his father and asked his father to remember to notify Fatty when he went to town to buy groceries tomorrow.

Then he paced to Lin Ji's house. Without a doubt, he missed him, and there were only his wife, two sons, and two little wolf dogs at home.

Not to mention, it hasn't been seen for more than half a year. Those two little wolf dogs have already grown into big wolf dogs, half a person high, looking majestic. When they roared at him, the battle array scared him so much that he almost turned around and ran.

The useless local dog in his house had already run away a step ahead of him.

It was Lin Ji's two sons, each holding a dog head, who calmed the two wolf dogs down.

Fierce is a bit fierce, but it is really a good hand for looking after the house!

It made him a bit greedy.

Sure enough, a ruthless person matches a ruthless dog.

It's just that in a while, the dog that stole away suddenly called a large army. A large group of dogs ran over barking wildly, the sound of bells ringing constantly, like war drums.

After rushing to the front, they were about to fight the two big wolf dogs.

The big wolf dogs were not to be outdone. If it weren't for the two children holding them, they would have already fought, but they also barked wildly.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly scolded his group of dogs, and kicked one by one to stop the offensive. The dogs all surrounded him, relying on the large number of dogs, and barked wildly at the wolf dogs.

He handed the basket he was carrying to Lin Ji's eldest son, "Tsk tsk tsk, the two of you brothers each have one, it's divided quite fairly."

"Uncle, are you here to find my father?"

"Right, your father said that when these two little wolf dogs have cubs, give me two. I came over to see when I can hold them back."

"Did my father say that?"

"Said."

"Oh, then I'll send them to you when they are born next year, but you have a lot of dogs at home."

"Not as big as the two you have, and majestic."

Both brothers were a bit triumphant.

He exhorted them to take the basket in and say he took it, and then hurriedly took the Wang Wang team back first.

Quite fierce, quite able to bark, and knew how to form gangs when they couldn't beat them.

After Lin Xiuqing waited for him to come back, she told the two sons to do their homework and followed him into the house.

"Are they all called?"

"Hmm, is the sack of money brought back yesterday counted?"

"Counted, the difference from what you recorded in the account book is not big, just a little bit, it should be that you took it out to buy things and spent it without recording it, it's about the same."

"It's about the same. How much money does our family have now?"

"Including the 200,000 and change in cash you brought back, we have nearly 700,000 in cash now."

Ye Yaodong widened his eyes, and his eyebrows picked up, "So much?"

"Right, that's so much!"

"Damn, then you still made trouble in the morning, saying I loaned money to buy a boat, making me feel guilty."

Lin Xiuqing said unpleasantly, "You loaned 200,000 to buy a boat without even notifying me, and you're still reasonable? And I'm not angry that you loaned money to buy a boat, I'm angry that you didn't say a word, and I had to find out from Father's mouth."

"Didn't we argue about this? Father said half and left half, what does it have to do with me?"

"Then when you loaned money, you didn't know how to make a phone call home to say it. If you really needed it, wouldn't I just remit the money to you directly?"

"Is it troublesome? A bunch of cash in hand wasn't used, and you still have to remit money to me here? Besides, I didn't loan money to buy a boat, I bought a boat to loan money."

Lin Xiuqing thought her mouth wasn't as sharp as his, so she couldn't argue, so she had to skip it.

"This money is the income of the shop in the past six months. The fishing boats were all taken away by you, so the rent couldn't be collected. It all depends on the output of the shop."

"It also includes the money from selling fish sauce. I couldn't say it so finely on the phone, and I didn't tell it. Anyway, in the past six months, fish sauce has been sold intermittently for several thousand, which is quite good."

"Most of it is still the money from selling lighters. It was out of stock when you left. Later, after two or three months, in September, Lin Ji helped bring the goods back, and then it was sold intermittently for a lot."

"When you go to the city the day after tomorrow, calculate an account with my father. It is estimated that he can have a lot in his hands. I went last time at the end of the month."
