Chapter 1418: You enjoyed it

People going out to sea are busy, and people left behind at home are also busy.

Basically, they were all sent out by Ye Yaodong to run errands, do things, or inquire about news. He himself stayed at home waiting for news, and by the way, supervised the construction of the house.

Make the best use of everything. He does as little as possible, and asks others to do what can be done.

Just a few days after the beginning of the month, there was a strong wind again, and the fishing boats all came back, and his father also returned late.

Counting it, Ocean No. 1 stayed at sea for nearly a month, and other boats also returned intermittently this month, basically not exceeding a week.

Everyone is cursing there now, saying it's a ghost weather, either raining or windy every few days.

Everyone's income this month has dropped by half.

Some people started sighing when resting at night.

"Could it be that the money here is not easy to earn?"

"How is it possible? This is a fishing ground. If it's not easy to earn here, where is it easy to earn?"

"Bad weather is also common. We rely on the sky to eat. If we encounter it, we have no choice. Who can we blame? Let's see if the weather will be better later."

"If you ask me, it's still Dongge's big boat that's good. Ye Third Uncle has been at sea for a month, and only came back this trip, always making big money at sea!"

Ye Fu echoed, "Isn't it good? This boat cost more than 100,000, and this is still picking up a bargain, otherwise it might not be bought even if the price doubled."

"It's been almost a year since it was bought? Has the capital been earned back?"

Ye Fu laughed, "Whether it's earned back or not, I don't know. The money didn't fall into my hands. Dongzi either owes the bank or deposits it in the bank, and I haven't seen it."

"Haha, don't you still have gold? You didn't work in vain..."

"That brat is basically me doing the work for him, he just needs to stay on the shore, let him enjoy it."

Ye Yaodong just finished selling goods and came back. Before his butt was hot, he refuted first, "Didn't I always tell you not to be so hard? Teach the workers on the boat more. Teach two, and when people are stable, hand the boat to them to drive. You just stay on the shore and help enjoy the blessing. Anyway, you don't need to pay."

"It's easy to say, but you have to be at ease. However, this trip took a month, which is about the same. Rest for a few days, and then let them drive the boat out themselves. A boat boss and a boat second-in-command have been set, and a deckhand has also been arranged."

"Then let the boat drive out for a test in two days, don't go for too many days, come back in about a week."

"Hmm, basically they were driving when they came out this year. I mostly replaced them on the deck occasionally. They also took turns driving for a few months. Ours is simple, didn't go very far, the work done every day is the same, it's about the same."

His father said it was okay, then it should be okay. They are basically around the near sea now, and they didn't go very far.

They themselves chose to train those with sailing experience, who learn quickly and can handle emergencies. His father also followed the boat for a few months, so he was not so uneasy. He always has to let go and try.

And there is communication equipment with other boats, and they can contact if there is an emergency.

"Good, then rest for a few days, the wind and waves at sea are not so big, everyone will go to sea again."

Ye Yaodong didn't rush to talk to people about treatment. No matter what, he had to go a few times. After trying, wait until the end of the month to talk about it depending on the situation.

Anyway, everyone knows he won't lose money to everyone.

Ye Fu moved closer to him and asked, "I haven't been home for a month, the progress of the house here is quite slow, about when will it be ready?"

"That's because it rained intermittently, and work couldn't be done on rainy days. Woodworking has already started, presumably in about a month, it should be ready."

"Then it's fine to be ready in December. It's convenient for some people to live in a room alone, that is, the bed..."

"I have already booked iron frame beds, bunk beds, three in one room, and asked the factory to give away washbasin iron racks, which will be delivered in about a month."

"So many rooms, that's another few thousand?"

"3000 plus, it's okay, it can be used for a long time, and collecting rent can also subsidize it."

"That bit of rent, not enough for you to toss this place, don't know how long it will take to break even. You have 60 rooms here, plus this land, wall, seven or eight calculations, is there 100,000?"

Ye Yaodong estimated in his heart, if you add the 20,000 for the land, it's about the same.

"About the same."

"Then how long will it take to break even..."

"It doesn't matter, this house is built here, it's good to rent for decades, it will break even sooner or later, and the land will become more and more valuable."

"Forget it, you decide for yourself, I won't nag anymore, anyway you have a lot of money, it's good to buy land, at least you can always collect rent."

"Right, do more and talk less."

Ye Fu glared at him, "Do I do less?"

"You are doing quite well now, I will give you a year-end bonus at the end of the year."

Ye Fu's serious expression almost couldn't hold it, coughed, and then held it, "You decide, I'll sleep first, I'm exhausted."

"Hmm."

Ye Fu has been running back and forth at sea, resting for a few days, and when he rested, Ye Yaodong also rested. These hundreds of people basically rested at the same time.

So he didn't know at all that when he was working hard at sea, Dongzi was on the shore, at home, how cool he was!

He only rested for three days, and set off one after another at night, and he didn't feel how cool Dongzi was until the daytime!

Sleep until you wake up naturally, then eat breakfast slowly, watch the workers building the house, and then ride a bicycle to play cards!

Play! Cards!

He turned around all morning, turned around the wharf, had nothing to do, and thought about going to his Chamber of Commerce to turn around, wanted to see what he was doing, and only then saw that he was actually playing cards?

Suddenly somewhat unbelievable.

Ye Yaodong heard his father's call, and only then let people let his father in. He still had this bit of face.

"No, didn't you tell me that you came to the Chamber of Commerce to confirm the quantity needed tomorrow?"

"Right, I came to confirm the quantity of fish goods needed tomorrow."

"Then what are you doing?"

"Playing cards, not conflicting. This is also a way for me to contact feelings. If I don't get into their interior, how can I be brothers with them, how can I build a good relationship, and let them order more goods from me."

Ye Fu thought about it, it seemed to make some sense.

"Then you enjoyed it, you can make money and play cards."

"Do you want to make a phone call home? You have been at sea for a month, it's rare to come back, make a phone call home? I used to call home regularly."

"Right, I'll make a phone call home first."

After Ye Yaodong sent his father away, he continued to play cards happily.

Just didn't expect that his father actually complained about him on the phone!

Saying that he worked hard at sea for a whole month, and only rested for two days with great difficulty, but found that he was playing cards on the shore every day, and said that he was contacting feelings with those bosses... blah blah...

Ye Yaodong listened for a while and was speechless, didn't care about him, and continued to play himself.

After Ye Fu finished the phone call, no one was there. Ye Yaodong stayed here for as long as he stayed, waiting.

Originally Ye Yaodong wanted to have lunch with everyone, continue after lunch, and wait until it was dark before going back. Anyway, there was no need to receive goods today.

However, seeing his father waiting on the side, he also felt an eyesore, so he just had lunch and went back.

"Do you spend your time on the shore like this every day?"

"Do you really think I'm wasting time? I'm mainly waiting for people to come in and out to order goods, and it's also to make the relationship better, and get familiar with everyone. The distance between people is just a few cards, a few drinks..." a few massages...

He didn't wait until after dinner to go back, also afraid that everyone would pull him to massage, and by the way, pull his father along.

If his mother knew, that would be terrible.

Although his father complained about him just now, saying he played cards, he couldn't pull his father into the water together, wash feet and massage together.

"You have reasons, you are the coolest."

Ye Yaodong didn't say anything.

After a few days, Ye Fu knew there was something cooler.

Clearly, the fresh-receiving boat would finish receiving goods and dock in the afternoon, and he had to wait at the wharf to receive goods.

He sat at home motionless, crossed his legs, peeled oranges, and only let the left-behind workers send two to the wharf. If the fishing boat returned, come to notify him.

Then he threw away the orange peel, clapped his hands, and rode his bicycle.

Ye Fu was even more depressed sitting on the back of the bicycle.

It turned out he was the only cow and horse.

"I'm working hard, and you are really cool."

He had already said this many times in the past few days, but he really wanted to complain.

Ye Yaodong responded: "I told you long ago, cultivate a few more people, and then let people do it. You just stay on the shore, receive goods."

"I did it for whom, I did it for you, don't worry about handing such a big boat to others to drive, so expensive..."

"What are you afraid of? They are all from the same village, we know their ancestors for eighteen generations, can the monk run away, can the temple run away? Really worried about running away with my boat? There are so many people on the boat..."

"I'm worried that people won't cherish the boat, or that raw hands are prone to accidents."

"I give a lot of money, they definitely do their best, their income share is linked to the amount of fishing, who thinks money is too much."

"Such a big boat, I haven't driven it warmly myself, so I handed it to others to drive. You don't feel distressed, don't want to hold it in your hand?"

"Don't want to, as long as the money earned is in my hand, buying a boat is not to make money? I have so many boats, I hold them all in my hand, can I drive them?"

Ye Fu was speechless.

"The money is all earned by you, and you are also cool."

"This is just the beginning," Ye Yaodong said confidently, and then accelerated the pace of pedaling the bicycle.

Ye Fu didn't go to sea this time, only two days, and he kept thinking about that boat.

As soon as he climbed onto the fresh-receiving boat, he asked Dongzi's cousin how the boat was fishing? How many goods were caught?

"How many goods were caught? I don't know, I didn't go over. Today I received the goods of those boats of Dongsheng. I will go to receive the goods of that boat tomorrow. Adong only told me to contact this morning and understand the situation."

"Then how is the situation?"

"Quite good, they all said it went smoothly, and they could get thirty or forty bags a day. Throw away half, and there are still ten or twenty bags."

Ye Fu was relieved after hearing it, "That's good."

Ye Yaodong said: "If you are not at ease, you will go to receive goods with them tomorrow. Anyway, go in the morning

"That works too."

It was exactly what he wanted.

"I'm just a workaholic; the Emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuch is dying of anxiety."

Everyone laughed out loud.

"You said that, not me." Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and continued to look at the goods they had recorded.

Ye Fu only realized what he had said after he finished speaking.

Realizing his slip of the tongue, he stopped talking and helped organize the goods instead.

Ye Yaodong had them bring out the goods he needed to be weighed first, and then, according to the corresponding demand list, arranged for them to be delivered one by one.

He also brought his father along, so that if he went home later, the delivery work would have to be handed over to his father.

The two of them, father and son, could take turns, replacing each other to rest, or if both were present, they could deliver goods simultaneously.

Over the past few years, he had truly been grateful to his father from the bottom of his heart; without his father's help, nothing he did would have been smooth, and perhaps it wouldn't have gone as well as it did now.

On the road, he also introduced to his father as they walked whose goods were being delivered and at what price; he had kept a separate notebook for it.

The one his cousin used to check the goods on the boat was just a rough draft of the recorded quantities.

Ye Fu followed right beside him, watching him stuff large amounts of money into the big bag he was carrying inside his sweater.

Seeing that the people around him were far away, he couldn't help but whisper, "This job really can't be handed over to others; you can only do it yourself or have me do it for you."

"Of course, otherwise why would I keep telling you to cultivate more people on the boat? If I handed the work to others, would I really let you stay on shore and enjoy yourself?"

Ye Fu said indignantly, "I knew you wouldn't let me enjoy myself."

"There will be a time for you to enjoy yourself, but it's not time yet. Just wait, you're only in your 50s."

"Then how old do I have to work until?"

"Let's work until 60 first. When the time comes, I'll give you a grand celebration, hold a 60th birthday party for you? Set up a few tables?"

"That works."

This touched Ye Fu's heart. Now, if you talked about giving him money or buying gold, he might not be that happy or care that much, but holding a birthday celebration for him was something he was looking forward to.

The next day, Ye Fu followed the fresh-fish collection boat to the Ocean No. 1 side to collect goods, feeling restless if he didn't see it with his own eyes; even when sleeping at night, he was still thinking about that boat.

He was closer to that boat than to his wife, valuing it even more than her.

When he returned in the evening, Ye Yaodong knew without asking that his father was relieved.

Ye Yaodong led his father to deliver goods as usual, and his father naturally explained the details to him on the way.

Actually, if no accidents happened at sea, what could possibly go wrong? Smooth fishing would only be monotonous.

After collecting goods for several days in a row, about a week later, Ocean No. 1 and the Dongsheng returned together, and Ye Fu was finally completely relieved.

He didn't worry as much when they went out to sea later, and Ye Yaodong didn't require them to return in about a week either, letting them stay at sea as long as they could, returning about once every half a month or so.

If they felt the wind and waves were strong, they shouldn't linger; safety first, return when they should. Anyway, it was no loss to them; any loss would be his.

And his house here was also completed ahead of schedule in the middle to late part of the month, not dragging until the end of the month.

The weather this month was very good; at most it was windy, but since it didn't rain, it didn't delay the progress.

However, the iron frame beds wouldn't be delivered until the end of the month, and there was no auspicious date currently, so they weren't in a hurry.

At the end of the month, there would be dates for installing the beds and moving in; then they would install the iron frame beds and set off firecrackers, treating it as completing the moving ceremony.

And when their house was completed, they also went to the Chamber of Commerce together to make a phone call, reporting their safety home and incidentally reporting that the house was finished.

But when asked how much it cost, Ye Yaodong had instructed Ye Fu in advance to just say it hadn't been calculated yet and that he would talk about it later when it was calculated clearly.

To save them from thinking he was tossing money around again, spending it without making it back quickly.

However, there wasn't much chance for his father to talk on the phone; his father only had two lines, and the rest of the time he was asking him to pass the phone to Dongzi.

Ye Fu had no choice but to go watch people play cards, feeling depressed.

It was just unexpected that in the time it took to make a phone call, his father had become familiar with the boss, who even invited him not to leave in such a hurry that night and go for a massage together.

Ye Fu looked surprised, "Massage?"

"One look and I know Adong hasn't taken you to enjoy yourself properly, making you work every day; he doesn't even know how to show filial piety to his own father."

"What? Does Dongzi go often?"

"Haha, he's the one who taught us to buy houses..."

"Ahem..." Ye Yaodong hung up the phone in time and hurried over, "Dad, don't listen to their nonsense; they are all shameless."

Jin Laoxi teased with a smile, "What? Only you are allowed to enjoy yourself, and your old man isn't?"

Ye Yaodong could only keep smiling awkwardly.

Who goes for a foot massage and brings their own father along?

Ye Fu turned his head curiously to look at him, "You go for foot massages every day, how come I didn't know? Don't you deliver goods every day?"

Jin Laoxi put his arm around Ye Fu's shoulder, "Don't mind him. After we finish eating, we'll take you, old brother. This son of yours is too incompetent."

"No, no, no, I... I'm not going, I can't go to that kind of place..." Ye Fu waved his hands repeatedly in embarrassment; he didn't even know what kind of place it was, only having heard the workers mention it.

"What are you afraid of? The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. We aren't doing anything else. Since your son is comfortable, there's no reason for you, the father, to be miserable."

"Don't mind him. Wait until tonight, we'll take you, old brother. This son of yours is too incompetent."

They were all talking to his father with their arms around his shoulders, and Ye Yaodong didn't know what to say.

He had already been avoiding them with his father for half a month, leaving early every day, but still hadn't escaped.

Ye Fu's Mandarin wasn't fluent, and the others were enthusiastic, and he didn't know how to refuse, so he could only look at Ye Yaodong for help.

"Don't corrupt my father; my father is an honest man, and I am an honest man too..."

"We know you're an honest man, but what does that have to do with massages? You, an honest man, also get massages, right? Why can't your father go?"
