Chapter 1428: Arriving home

Ye Fu said unhappily: "You have so much money, how can you be embarrassed to think about this little bit of mine."

"Even if the mosquito leg is small, it's meat. You spend less, then I can spend more."

"Give me 50 yuan, 10 yuan is too little."

Ye Yaodong glanced at him, and took out 4 more big group photos and handed them to him.

Ye Fu took it beautifully and put it in his pocket, straightened his waist and opened the door to go out, and went out to stroll with others.

Ye Yaodong shouted: "Still have to calculate accounts later, you don't watch?"

"Calculated, just tell me."

At this time, there were not many workers who finished paying and saw him, all went out, only his brother and Aguang and others who were waiting to calculate accounts remained.

Those who rented Ye Yaodong's boats basically went out to stroll. Anyway, his account calculation here wasn't that fast, wait until the afternoon to collect the small boat rent.

Aguang stepped forward and teased: "Finished paying? Still so mysterious, boat bosses have to go into the house one by one to receive."

"Of course have to keep secret, boat bosses take shares, and boats have big and small, everyone receives differently."

"How much? How much did your boat boss take in these two months?"

"Already said keep secret, can I still tell you?"

"Cut, saying it will die?"

"Calculate accounts."

Ye Yaodong spread the account book and documents on the table. "You have the bottom list, check the quantity yourself first, if no problem, calculate it yourself first."

He had already calculated it last night anyway. If their calculation had no problem, they could pay directly.

"I've already said it's confidential, so how could I tell you?"

Today the weather was also not bad, there was sun, the breeze was just right, the sun was not dry, the winter sun was warm when shining, quite comfortable, just short of a lounge chair.

Ye Yaodong specially moved the stool to the side of the pillar in the corridor, so they calculated theirs, and he could take another nap.

After being shaken awake, he checked the ones with discrepancies again, and after there was no objection, he went into the house to take a few stacks of banknotes and settled the money for them.

At this time, it was almost time for lunch. After calculating the accounts, they didn't go out, just took a straw mat and spread it on the ground, and started playing cards.

And a pile here, a pile there, organized three or four piles of card games.

After some people returned from strolling, seeing them spread the mat on the ground playing cards and sunbathing, they were so comfortable, they immediately went back to the house to take their straw mats.

After eating lunch, there were even more people. Hundreds of people, except for some newcomers who were still fresh, went out to shake, and the rest were all organized in groups at home.

Ye Yaodong was tired of playing, didn't want to play anymore, stood up and let others play, stretched, looked around and was shocked.

"Oh my mother, such a large area, not going out in the afternoon?"

If it weren't for the fact that the bottom of the butt was the uncomfortable gravel, not the lawn, Ye Yaodong would have thought they were all camping in this large area.

"It's not like we haven't strolled, here we are all very familiar, there are only a few streets in total, strolling in the morning is about the same."

"Right, we are more familiar with here than the village, nothing to buy... Shunzi..."

"Damn, why do you have so many Shunzi, pass pass... just buy some small toys for the children at home and take them back."

Ye Yaodong counted the money he lost, put the money back in his pocket, and then pushed his bicycle to walk out.

Don't know when to go back, have to go find those friends to say goodbye in advance.

These days have been busy, every day recording goods and sending goods, and running to the shipyard to negotiate fishing boats and payment methods.

The fishing boats returned yesterday, and the accounts were calculated today, only then did he feel a bit free.

Have to take advantage of the free time in the afternoon, run around, say that he is going home for the New Year.

Actually, most people are basically finishing up at this time, planning to go home for the New Year. Except for those nearby, they might be later.

Busy outside all year round, it's close to the end of the year, now it's the middle of the month, those who made money have already gone back in advance.

In these few days, there are many more cargo ships at the pier. The shipment volume is large before the New Year, and most businessmen also go home by cargo ship.

When he said goodbye to the Chamber of Commerce, the people there basically planned to go back to their hometown in these two days. If it's later, it might not be easy to take a car or a ship.

Someone asked him if he was passing through Wenzhou, wanting to hitch a ride on his boat.

He didn't hesitate and agreed. It was indeed on the way, and he had to go to Wenzhou to see the lighter factory, and the small fishing boats had to dock and rest for one night.

After saying goodbye to acquaintances, he also called home to notify, and then ran to the factory to tell that he was going home for the New Year, and would come over after the fifteenth.

The factory was also about to rest. During this time, they were increasing production, also to have goods to ship after early holiday for the Spring Festival.

Originally, Ye Yaodong hesitated whether to come up next spring, or wait until the second half of the year to come up, but recently seeing everyone determined to come up after the New Year, then he definitely had to come up after the New Year.

If you don't make money, you are a bastard. He got 5 more boats, and the money spent must be earned back first.

And everything at home is fine, Lin Xiuqing manages it in an orderly way, no mistakes, and he calls home regularly, no big problems.

The city has the father-in-law watching, and there is a set of processes, and the home also has Aqing watching, he can be at ease busy outside.

He is thinking about being busy for a few years, and when everything is on the right track, the country is prosperous, fully opened, and transaction payment is more convenient, then it can be handed over to subordinates.

Now others can be handed over to workers, but collecting money must be done personally. That is real money and large stacks of banknotes, of course he has to collect it into his pocket himself.

Anyway, he is only 30 years old, and he will be 31 after the New Year. Take advantage of being young now to earn a little more, and it's not too late to retire at home to raise dogs at 40.

Ye Yaodong strolled around and finished the things, and also declined the farewell of the familiar person and the Chamber of Commerce bosses, just saying there was a pile of things to pack, no time to linger outside.

The workers at home were rarely relaxed, played cards from day to night, and then to dawn, and then changed another batch of people to join.

The next day there was a strong wind, and it was the fifteenth. Normally they didn't go far on the first and fifteenth, so after listening to the weather forecast that night, they decided to leave at dawn on the 3rd.

Then one by one they passed without day or night, gathered in several rooms, and fortunately they chose corner rooms, which didn't affect others' rest much.

It just happened that there were many workers, and the beds were not enough, so they were always at sea, so they had enough to sleep. Now it was just right, taking turns to sleep.

It was just that Ye Fu was a bit worried about them, gambling without day or night, what if they lost all their wages?

"If I knew, I shouldn't have given them wages directly like previous years. Wait until going home to settle. If they go back a few days later, one by one, they might lose their pants."

Ye Yaodong also admitted that he was a bit miscalculated, just thinking about going back, settling projects, and paying wages by the way, letting them go out to stroll happily, buy New Year goods and go home.

"Don't pay all at once next year, settle when going home."

"Best to settle once a year, this way what is earned is saved. Anyway, we cover food and housing, they have no place to spend idle money."

"Then advancing is also troublesome. Wait until the time comes, anyway, from after the New Year, give a meal subsidy every month, or press the salary to settle once a year, or settle when not working, or settle when going home."

The three-story building that started building last month now looks decent, just short of the last floor.

The canteen is also good. Actually, it's not as good as three rooms, just connected, and there are more windows. This was also discussed with the foreman later.

Just take three rooms as a canteen, it's enough. Anyway, there are so many rooms here, the canteen doesn't need to be too big. Everyone gets food and eats in their own room, or squats at the door, squats in the corridor, squats in the open space, it's the same, no need to sit in the canteen to eat.

This also saves his construction area, saves him from spending money.

And half the time, fishing boats are at sea, and they come back at night, so it's not suitable to go out to sea, and there are the most people when resting.

The foreman is a local, no need to stop work and go home in advance. Even if they go back, the foreman can continue to do it.

Even if Ye Yaodong takes the main force back, there are two people left here to watch. It was agreed to pay double wages. This was also picked by him from those who volunteered.

Generally, this kind of person is either having many children at home, not favored, or too poor at home, or the family situation is relatively complex and special, alone or reorganized family, or not favored by family members. If they give more money, of course they are willing to stay outside.

Before leaving, he arranged everything properly.

Until dawn on the third, everyone carried their luggage to the pier to board the boat.

It wasn't just them rushing back for the New Year. Besides those going out to sea, there were also many people carrying luggage at the pier.

As the New Year time approaches, there will only be more and more people returning home.

The 3rd is the sixteenth of the lunar calendar. Part of the people went straight home, part of the small boats followed Ye Yaodong to Wenzhou to rest for one night, and some rested and left early the next morning.

And Ye Yaodong had to handle things in Wenzhou, so his boat waited until the afternoon of the seventeenth to leave. When arriving home, it was already 2 am on the eighteenth, the latest to return. This was still because his fishing boat was fast, otherwise it would be the morning of the eighteenth.

He let his father return one step first, and also let his father bring all the workers back. He only left four or five people. Sailing the boat also needed helpers, otherwise he could do it alone.

As soon as he arrived home, he felt relaxed.

Sitting there without moving, Lin Xiuqing was busy arranging for him.

"Anyway, have to calculate accounts before the New Year, why don't you come back directly, and stayed for half a day, Dad returned a day earlier than you."

"Like Aguang and Zhou Da, they returned on the seventeenth morning, and said you turned to Wenzhou, otherwise people would be worried to death."

"Wash your face first, I'll change a foot-washing basin for you to wash your feet."

Lin Xiuqing handed him the towel that was twisted well, and then went to get a foot-washing basin, put water in the foot-washing basin, took off his shoes, took off his socks, and got him slippers.

"Thought about you coming back a few days ago, the old lady wrapped the glutinous rice dumplings you love to eat. Besides steaming some for the children to eat, she was reluctant to move others."

The old lady sat in front of the stove to light the fire, steaming rice dumplings for him, looking at him with a smile. "Wrapped early, come back now and can eat immediately, saving from tossing to cook other things in the middle of the night."

"Good."

"Darkened a lot again, used to be so white, don't darken like your father, you have to wear the headgear and mask you wore before."

Ye Yaodong touched his face, feeling that the old lady also looked at appearance.

"I've been thinking about you coming back for a few days now. The old lady even wrapped up the sticky rice dumplings you like. Aside from steaming a few for the children to eat, she couldn't bear to touch the rest."

At first, she said what he was wearing, now that he is dark, she feels that his headgear and mask are good?

"Wearing, the pier wind is big, specially brought to prevent wind," Ye Yaodong explained and asked Aqing again, "Did you unload the fish dried goods brought back?"

"Unloaded, Dad arranged to unload goods when he arrived home in the afternoon."

"That's good, that saves me from being troublesome tomorrow."

"Coming back in the middle of the night, you sleep until you wake up naturally tomorrow, no one is allowed to disturb you."

After the old lady finished speaking, Lin Xiuqing added: "Is this sack the money brought back?"

"Right, you organize it, there are about 300,000 inside."

"So much, didn't you order two boats."

"Not two, but three."

Ye Yaodong, in view of the previous lessons, told her as soon as he came back. He wanted to come back immediately when he called the day before yesterday, and it was not easy to communicate on the phone.

Lin Xiuqing listened to his explanation, but felt it was not bad.

Just treat it as saving money, saving a sum every once in a while, and wouldn't feel heartache, after all, installment payment, and no extra interest.

Ye Yaodong also said, ordered in advance, the price was locked there, and pay the later money slowly.

In these two years, the conditions in the village were better, and many people ran to order fishing boats. The price was no longer the price of a few years ago.

Everyone didn't discuss it, many people were scolding the shipyard for being black-hearted and raising prices.

Actually, it was inflation, rising prices, ordinary people couldn't feel it, and didn't have this concept, so they only scolded.

Lin Xiuqing had been the head of the family for a few years, and had some feelings in her heart. Their family's salary was rising, the price of goods was rising, no reason the boat's price didn't rise.

"Fine, ordering three boats is also good. Now the cash at home has nowhere to hide."

"Ah?"

"I'm thinking, should I ask Dad to help secretly dig a cellar?"

In reality, it was inflation and rising prices, but ordinary people just couldn't feel it, nor did they have that concept, so they didn't understand and would only complain.

Lin Xiuqing had been managing the household for several years, so she had some sense of it. Their family's wages were rising, and the prices of goods were rising; it made no sense for the price of ships not to rise.

"That's fine too. Ordering three ships is also good. We're almost running out of places to hide the cash at home now."

"Huh?"

"I'm thinking, should I ask Dad to help secretly dig a cellar?"
