Chapter 1379

Arranging for a nephew is no problem.

He even stuffed A-Hai into the shipyard, so there's no reason not to agree to A-Jiang's side.

This is also a small matter.

He is also a boss, after all, so arranging for one or two people is definitely no problem, let alone his own nephew. It's not like he's just collecting a salary without working; he's going over to work and learn skills too.

Recruiting others to work is recruiting, and recruiting his own nephew is also recruiting. A-Jiang is at least a junior high graduate.

When the second sister-in-law saw him return, she had already been looking forward to it, and even instructed Ye Chengjiang to take the initiative to talk to him.

Lin Xiuqing was tidying up the table after the meal and hadn't had time to go over to talk yet. Ye Yaodong stepped out of the house and happened to hear Ye Chengjiang talking next door.

"... Stop bothering, Third Uncle knows..."

"I told you to ask, so just ask, why so many words."

"What's the rush, I know..."

Ye Yaodong walked out of the courtyard gate and passed in front of their door, just in time to see Ye Chengjiang walking out impatiently. He waved at Ye Chengjiang.

Ye Chengjiang's brow instantly smoothed out, and he ran towards him with a smile, "Third Uncle, you've finished eating."

"Mm, are you on the day shift or the night shift today?"

"On the day shift, but since I'm free at night, I'll go help check things out too."

Ye Yaodong put his arm around his shoulder and touched the back of his head; it was round and smooth, and he hadn't slapped it less in the past...

He had grown quite a bit taller in the last few years, and he had slapped it less. After the family's conditions improved, he ate and drank well, and looked quite sturdy.

But he was only a 16-year-old boy, still developing, and it was hard to tell now if he would grow taller than in his previous life.

"Don't bother, take advantage of the fact that it's not dark yet, go get a haircut, look more spirited, and I'll take you to the fish cannery tomorrow."

Ye Chengjiang's eyes instantly shone with wolfish light, "Really? You just got back, can you take me over directly?"

"Of course I can, I'm also the boss. Besides, you're not sitting there collecting a salary for nothing; you're working just like the ordinary workers."

"Hey, okay, I will work hard."

"Mm, once you go, you'll be just like everyone else. If you slack off or perform poorly and get fired, then I won't speak up for you."

"That won't happen, I will definitely work hard and earn money."

"Finally don't have to go to school, feels great, right?"

"Great! Hahahaha, finally can be like A-Hai!"

Ye Yaodong smiled and patted his shoulder, "Go, go get a haircut, wear neat clothes tomorrow, I'll take you over at 8 o'clock."

"Alright, thank you Third Uncle!" Ye Chengjiang said and ran off excitedly, laughing loudly as he ran.

Ye Yaodong watched and also smiled.

Although the family already had large boats, the second brother and second sister-in-law looked like they couldn't bear to take the children out to sea. It's also good to go to the factory to work. When the time comes, after a long time, if he performs well, he can also promote A-Jiang to be a supervisor or director, or see what he wants to do in the future.

Ye Yaodong rested well for the night and got up early the next day, but there were people even earlier.

Ye Chengjiang had been sitting on his courtyard threshold waiting since 7 o'clock. With his short, trimmed hair, he looked spirited, and his clean shirt still had creases.

As soon as he saw him come out with his toothbrush and cup to brush his teeth, he actively rushed over.

"Third Uncle, did you sleep well last night?"

"Mm."

"Third Uncle, my mother actually gave me all the wages Third Aunt settled for me last night!"

Ye Yaodong was brushing his teeth and didn't respond; he spoke to himself.

"It's about to rain red from the sky! Third Aunt actually gave me all the 10-plus yuan she settled, and even said that I could ride the family's bicycle to work when the time comes. Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

"Did my mother take the wrong medicine? And she didn't even mention whether the wages should be handed over. Does this mean I don't have to give it to her when the time comes?"

He said these words in an increasingly lower voice, for fear that his mother next door would hear them, which would instead serve as a reminder to her.

After Ye Yaodong gargled, he said, "Isn't it still early?"

"That's true, it's still early. Not mentioning it now doesn't mean she won't mention it later. Happy for nothing."

"You can ask A-Hai when the time comes, does he keep his own wages?"

"Hahaha, A-Hai was jealous to death last night when he knew I was going to work at the fish cannery, saying my wages must be higher than his."

"Stop showing off, if your mother finds out, she'll confiscate it all."

Ye Chengjiang's eyes rolled, "Third Uncle, can you tell my mother a little less about my wages?"

"No."

"Why?"

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile, "There are so many workers in the factory, she can hear about the factory's wages just by taking a casual stroll in town, and then she'll blame us, saying that not only did we not give more to our own nephew, but we specifically gave less than others."

"Hehe..."

Ye Yaodong said, "Don't overthink it, working hard is the right thing to do."

"Alright."

Ye Chengjiang became honest and didn't dare to have other thoughts; at worst, he would argue with his mother when the time came!

He touched the paper money in his pocket, his confidence greatly increased. He specifically put one yuan in today and put the rest away first.

Except for the New Year, he had never had a huge sum of more than one yuan in his pocket, let alone last night, when his mother gave him all the wages from this period.

Holding more than ten yuan in his hand, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, a double surprise.

After eating, Ye Yaodong rode his motorcycle and took Lin Xiuqing and Ye Chengjiang out. The three children at home watched longingly, all wanting to follow, but he didn't take them.

It wasn't for fun; he was taking A-Qing to inspect the factory and then arranging work for Ye Chengjiang. That was a place for serious work.

Arranging work for Ye Chengjiang was very simple. In addition to the two bosses, Hong Wenle had also hired a factory manager with management experience. Ye Yaodong just had to say hello and it was arranged.

He didn't ask about the wages. Anyway, looking at the factory's arrangements, he was just a 16-year-old boy, so there was no need to stare at that little bit of wages; learning more things was what mattered.

Then he took Lin Xiuqing to stroll around the workshop, the finished product warehouse, and the dormitory building, focusing on inspecting the workshop.

The couple was also very curious about production, asking questions as they watched, wanting to understand more clearly.

Staying for the whole morning, they didn't feel bored at all; instead, they felt novel and fulfilled.

When they got off work at noon, they happened to take Ye Chengjiang back, and in the afternoon, let him ride his bicycle over to work himself.

There was a cafeteria in the factory, but those who lived close could go home to eat directly, saving money. Most people chose this, so as soon as they got off work, a large crowd surged out.

Ye Chengjiang also had an excited expression on his face.

"How was the experience?"

"Very good, it's just that I don't understand anything, but there are people to lead me, it's okay."

"That's fine, just keep working, adapt while working."

He nodded.

When they returned home in a while, the whole family, men, women, old and young, all surrounded Ye Chengjiang, all wanting to know how his first day of work at the fish cannery went.

The second sister-in-law also asked non-stop with a smiling face, asking what he had done all morning.

The brothers and sisters were also asking in a jumble there.

Ye Chengjiang answered happily one by one, and then was ushered into the house.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing looked around and kept asking, and were also tired for the whole morning, so they went home to eat first.

She wasn't home, and the food was cooked by the old lady. At this time, she was also waiting for them to get home to eat. The three children then reluctantly followed home to eat.

As soon as Ye Chenghu sat at the table, he asked enviously, "Dad, Brother A-Jiang has also started working to earn money. When we graduate from junior high, can we also enter the factory?"

"Can't you have some ambition? At least get into high school for me, otherwise I'll break your legs, and you still want to enter the factory? The Eastern Factory or the Western Factory?"

"I'm talking about the fish cannery."

"Study hard first."

"Then we still have to enter the factory after high school, why can't we go after finishing junior high? Isn't it possible to earn money earlier?"

Ye Yaodong was almost angered to death, "Am I short of that little bit of wages you earn?"

"I am short, hahaha..."

"Not allowed to eat, go stand against the wall."

"Uh... ah?"

Ye Chenghu's joy turned to sorrow, the smile on his face still frozen. He hurriedly looked at the old lady, "Great-Grandma..."

"Calling anyone is useless!"

Ye Yaodong glared, and he immediately put down his chopsticks and obediently stood up to stand in the corner.

The old lady also hurriedly lowered her head and shook it, "My ears aren't working well..."

Ye Chengyang asked curiously, "Dad, how many more years does Brother have to study before he can graduate from high school?"

"He will be in the fourth grade in the second half of the year, so count it as the third grade before he even studies. Elementary school still needs two years, junior high three years, high school another three years, he still has to study for 8 more years. If he is lucky enough to get into college, then he has to study for another eleven years! Twelve years!"

Ye Chenghu was stunned by his father's calculation, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse, "12 years! Then I'll be old."

Ye Yaodong ignored him and said to Yangyang, "Your brother studies for 12 years, you have to study for 14 years!"

"Ah!!!"

"Haha, I only have 12 years, you have 14 years!"

Ye Yaodong felt that this sounded like one was sentenced to 12 years and the other to 14 years.

Ye Chengyang had a worried and bleak face, "Is it that long?"

"What's long, studying is the happiest thing, don't have to do anything, don't have to worry, don't have to be troubled, just study."

"Oh."

Ye Yaodong said to Lin Xiuqing, "I'm not home, you also have to keep an eye on the two of them studying."

"Where do I have that leisure time? If they can learn, they learn. If they can't, forcing them is useless. It also depends on talent."

"Then anyway, those who get good grades in the future will be rewarded, and those who get bad grades will be beaten."

"Which time isn't like this?"

"How many points did the two of them get this summer vacation?"

"It's okay, one is all 80-plus, one is all 90-plus."

"That's not bad, getting 80-plus in the third grade is also passable."

Ye Chenghu held his head high and chest out, "I've been serious."

"Keep it up."

"Dad, Brother A-Hai and Brother A-Jiang entered the factory early, why do I still have to go to high school?"

"Because they can't study and can't earn big money, they can only enter the factory early to earn a wage. Study hard, learn more things, and have good skills to earn more money."

"Then also enter the factory?"

Ye Yaodong was choked, and said angrily, "With a diploma, you can enter a big factory; without a diploma, you can only be a small worker."
