Chapter 1475

"Then should we wait a while? Why don't you go and call your father?" Lin Ji Shang asked with some uncertainty.

"Hahaha, no need, no need. Old Pei should have already gone..."

A Guang glared at A Zheng, "You have no manners, you should call him Uncle."

"It's none of my business, I learned it from Dong Zi."

"Don't you dare dump the blame on me every single day, you called him that on your own, and you're saying you learned it from me? Did I force you to call him that?"

"I also think it's easier to call him Old Pei!" Xiao Xiao chimed in as well.

The few of them were laughing and joking around.

Lin Ji Shang asked Ye Yaodong again, "Then are you going to bring your father along?"

"Bring him for what? Why would I bring him? He goes out more often than I do."

Lin Ji Shang: "..."

"Hahahaha..."

The group went out to play for two hours and returned, having also set the date for the 23rd of the mid-to-late month. This day was the 10th of the sixth lunar month, a big day, and there were 9 days left; it was specifically chosen by Lin Ji Shang for the boat's departure.

However, the number of people they added at the last minute was a bit high, and his eldest brother and second brother hadn't confirmed yet, so he didn't know how many people there would be by then; they would have to squeeze in, so they shouldn't even think about having beds.

It was close by anyway, so no matter how slow they walked, they could arrive on the same day; it didn't matter if there weren't any beds, chatting on the deck and looking at the scenery would be even more comfortable.

When Ye Fu waited for him to return that night and learned that he was going on a long trip again on the 23rd, he grumbled again.

"With you running outside every day, when will I ever earn enough to be a ten-thousand-yuan household?"

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh out loud; his father even knew how to tease him now.

"How much money we earn is all up to you anyway. Me going out a few more times is just the right cover for you. When you call home, just scold me a bit more in front of my mother, and that'll be fine."

"Then how long will you be gone on this trip before you come back?"

"If it's fast, five or six days; if it's slow, probably ten days. It's close, I can get there on the same day."

"How many people are going?"

Ye Yaodong counted his four unreliable friends for him, "And Ajiang wants to follow too. This has to wait until the second brother comes back so I can tell him. I also want to call the eldest brother and second brother to go together."

"Call them to go for what? Are they not going to sail the boat anymore? Two people on one boat, and neither of them is going out to sea, who are they going to leave the work to?"

"That's why I have to find them and talk to them, see what they think, and see if it can be arranged."

"You're just full and have nothing better to do. If you want to go on a long trip, just go on your own, why do you have to bring your eldest brother and second brother along? It's not like you're going to be guests, dragging your families along."

"I'm calling them to go out and broaden their horizons, you know? Otherwise, they only know how to bury their heads in work."

"What's wrong with burying their heads in work? They can earn money. If you let them go out, how much will they lose in a day?"

Ye Yaodong said impatiently, "If you don't understand, don't express your opinion. What's wrong with broadening their horizons? Didn't you say they wanted to order another boat? It's just the right time to go to a big shipyard and take a look. Even if they don't take small orders, we can still learn about some of the current advanced technologies, right?"

"What's the use of that? Isn't it enough to do what we're doing now? They'll probably be back tomorrow anyway. Once they're back, they can just go to the local shipyard and order one."

"Stop worrying about things that don't concern you, okay? I didn't take you, I didn't call you, and I didn't ask you to go."

Ye Fu also raised his voice and said disdainfully, "I don't care to go anyway. What's there to go for? On such a hot day, running around everywhere, it's all because you have too much money and are full with nothing to do."

"Then just don't talk, don't make a sound."

"If you didn't instigate your eldest brother and second brother, I wouldn't even bother with you. They're doing just fine, why do you have to call them to go to the Magic City? On such a hot day, to go out and bask in the sun?"

"Shut up!" Ye Yaodong raised the kitchen knife and chopped directly into the watermelon.

With a 'crack', the melon split open.

Ye Fu's neck shrank back, and then he said, "It's almost time to sleep, why are you still cutting melon?"

"If I don't use food to plug your mouth, can you be quiet?"

Ye Fu was speechless with anger.

Ye Yaodong kept 1/4 of the watermelon and took the rest downstairs, preparing to distribute it to the workers.

This was after getting a massage and going for a late-night snack; he saw the shop owner displaying them at the entrance and bought one for each of them on the way back.

When he went back upstairs, Ye Fu didn't say anything more.

He also thought that even if he called them, the eldest and second brother definitely wouldn't have the time and couldn't get away.

Running outside on such a hot day, how could it be more important than going out to sea to earn money?

Ye Yaodong didn't chat idly with his father either; he ate a piece of melon and went to sleep.

The next afternoon, the fishing boats returned one after another, just as his father had expected.

However, just as the fishing boats returned, he was also very busy and didn't have time to talk to his eldest and second brother; they also needed to rest after just returning.

After a night passed, he didn't even need to say anything; Ye Chengjiang had already spoken to Ye Yaohua first, saying he wanted to follow his Third Uncle to the Magic City to broaden his horizons.

Ye Yaohua knew he was going with Ye Yaodong and didn't object, only telling him to be careful and to listen to Ye Yaodong more when he was out.

On this point, Ye Yaohua was quite open-minded; his son had grown up and was already a young man, so it was good for him to go out and broaden his horizons, and he didn't object.

Anyway, it was only for a few days.

However, when Ye Chengjiang called him to go, he shook his head.

When Ye Yaodong finished breakfast and went to greet him, Ye Chengjiang came over and said he had already asked his father.

"My father agreed to let me go with you, he won't go himself, he has to go out to sea."

"I can arrange for two workers to temporarily take your place here..."

"They can't replace us. The boat is sailed by me and your eldest brother in turns. If you arrange two people who know how to sail, we won't feel at ease leaving it to others, we have to watch it ourselves."

"Is it really necessary? Isn't it enough to train people to sail? Why make yourself so tired? I have so many boats that I can manage, yet you two have to be on the boat yourselves."

According to him, it would be enough to just arrange for people to take turns sailing the boat, and the two of them would only need to watch over it on the boat.

This way, even if something happened occasionally, they wouldn't have to be on the boat, and the boat could still move without them, and they could occasionally stay on shore to rest more.

Ye Yaohua smiled honestly, "We're on the boat anyway, and it's just right for two people to take turns, so we didn't plan anything else. However, we plan to order another boat, so we have to slowly train two people."

"When are you going to order the new boat?"

"Just taking advantage of these two days of rest to go and pre-order it. I don't know when they can deliver it; I heard the shipyard here has a very long waiting list."

"Then it's better to confirm it as soon as possible. This is also a big deal, better early than late."

"I know. After the eldest brother finishes eating, we plan to go to the shipyard to take a look. Dong Zi, do you want to go?"

"That works too. Just right to go to the shipyard to see the progress of my fishing boat."

He also went to the shipyard to take a look every few days.

Seeing that they had finished talking, Ye Chengjiang looked at Ye Yaodong ingratiatingly.

"Then Third Uncle, my father has already agreed, can you arrange the boat ticket for me? I don't know how to buy it."

Yesterday he knew that Third Uncle had already set the date to go to the Magic City, but he hadn't definitely said he would take him; he had to let him talk to his father first, and it had to be with his father's consent.

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Yaohua, "Are you sure you're not going? I also wanted to call the eldest brother to go together. Why don't you both go together?"

Ye Yaohua waved his hand, "If the eldest brother goes, then I definitely can't go. If both of us leave, who will watch the boat? Father also has to help you receive goods here."

"Ajiang wants to go with you, just let him go with you to see the world. It doesn't matter if I go or not. There's nothing good to see, and I'm not a young man anymore, nothing to broaden my horizons. The work on the sea is enough to keep me busy."

Ye Yaodong said directly, "I'm not going to the Magic City to look around everywhere. I want to go to the Jiangnan Shipyard to take a look. I heard this shipyard is awesome, they can even build warships."

Ye Yaohua was stunned for a moment, "Build warships? That must be a secret, not something we can see."

"There should also be ordinary large fishing boats to see. If possible, I'll also order a boat there directly."

"Then there's even less need for me to go. We only have a boat of 20-something meters, how could we be embarrassed to go there? It's better to order one at the shipyard here, and it's more convenient to go and take a look occasionally."

"The main thing is that I want to go to the Magic City to see if I can buy a piece of land. Let me tell you, if I really buy a piece of land there, I won't have to worry for the rest of my life."

"Ah? Why buy land there? That's so far away, it's better to buy it at home, or in our town, county, or city."

"It's different, the Magic City is a big city..."

Ye Yaohua was a bit confused, "I know it's a big city, the land is so good and so valuable, would they sell the land to you?"

"That's why I have to go everywhere to take a look, to see if I can pick up a bargain."

There were some things he couldn't say too clearly because he couldn't explain them. He could only wait until he got there, and then rely on his own fabrication, vaguely saying there were prospects for development.

Those who believed him would follow him, and those who didn't would still think he was unreliable even if he talked until his mouth was dry. It wouldn't go as far as having ulterior motives, after all, they were family.

Ye Yaohua was very skeptical, just thinking about it felt too unreliable. Relying on picking up bargains?

At this time, the eldest brother Ye Yaopeng also walked over.

He smiled and said, "Why are you squatting here?"

"Waiting for you." Both brothers said in unison.

Ye Yaodong also told his eldest brother what he had said to the second brother.

The eldest brother had the same reaction. Pick up a bargain? How to pick it up? Can land be picked up as a bargain?

Ye Yaohua said, "I said we can't leave the boat, and it's impossible for us not to go out to sea for a week or 10 days and run to another place. The loss would be huge."

"Yes, unless it's a typhoon day, how could we rest for so long?"

Ye Yaodong sighed, it was hard to explain.

If people didn't follow him, how could he trick them into buying houses and land later?

Ye Yaohua said again, "Dong Zi, anyway, it's fine if Ajiang goes with you. I won't go. With Ajiang there, if you have anything, just let him handle it. He's grown up too, not a child anymore. Chenghe is younger than him and is already engaged. If you have anything, just tell him."

Hearing this, Ye Chengjiang straightened his waist and patted his chest, "That's fine, Third Uncle, I'll represent my father and go out with you to broaden my horizons. If you have anything, just tell me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure! My father only has me as a son, I definitely have to take on this family in the future!"

"Okay."

That couldn't be better. If he took Ye Chengjiang, wouldn't he have to listen to him then?

Ye Yaodong looked at his eldest brother again, "Eldest Brother..."

Ye Yaopeng waved his hand, "There are no extra workers on the boat, we can't do without even one. If I leave, there's no one to replace me, so I won't go. Let Chenghe go with you to broaden his horizons. He's young, it's good for him to go out and see. Otherwise, in two years when he's married, it won't be easy to go on long trips."

"He's now single-mindedly thinking about earning money and saving up to marry a wife, how could he be willing to go out?"

Ye Chengjiang was going to the Magic City, leaving him alone here to drive the tractor and earn money. He couldn't be happier, he could swallow everything alone without having to share half of it.

He had long been urging Ye Chengjiang to leave quickly, urging him to ask Third Uncle quickly.

"What's a few days of earning money? You went home for half a month a while ago, weren't you in a hurry to earn money then? Ajiang is going, let him go too." Ye Yaopeng said.

Ye Chengjiang was happy, he had a companion!

Moreover, this way he didn't have to watch Ye Chenghe earn money while he didn't have a share, neither of them should do it.

The money he earned would always be more than Ye Chenghe's!

He would have more money than Ye Chenghe!

"I'll go call Chenghe over!" Ye Chengjiang went to call him very actively.

Ye Yaodong continued to chat with his two brothers. This time they were chatting about their ordering of a new boat. He was very curious about how they would allocate it after they ordered the new boat.

Since they sent their two sons to follow him, he wouldn't force them. Wouldn't those two silly boys listen to him?

At that time, he would let them act first and report later. At most, they would get a beating when they came back, but they would have endless blessings in the future!

However, when Ye Chenghe came running over, the first sentence was that he wouldn't go!

"I don't want to. I went home for half a month and missed out on a lot of money I didn't earn. I was thinking of taking advantage of Ajiang going to the Magic City to earn it alone, I'm not going."

"You've already missed out on half a month, what's a few days?" Ye Yaopeng asked back.

"Of course it matters! The money I earned last month was all taken away by Mother when I went home. When I came up, I only had 20-something yuan in my pocket. If I don't earn more money, I'll have to drink the northwest wind."

"Who told you to be silly!" Ye Chengjiang said sarcastically.

"Anyway, I'm not going, you go with Third Uncle yourself."

"Then forget it."

Ye Yaopeng actually didn't care. If Ye Chenghe didn't want to go, then forget it. Driving a tractor here could also earn a lot of money in a day. Not earning for a day was a day's loss.

Ye Yaodong glared at Ye Chenghe, "Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll beat you up, don't come near me in the future."

"Why, Third Uncle, it's fine if Ajiang goes with you..."

Ye Yaodong tempted him earnestly, "I heard that the Magic City gathers trends from all over the country. Many trendy things are first circulated in the Magic City and Guangdong Province, all kinds of novel patterns, and beautiful clothes, all of which girls like..."

"If you go to the Magic City, your status will be different. After returning to your hometown, not only can you brag in front of your friends, but girls will have to look at you with stars in their eyes."

"Think about it, how much will you have to talk about when you go home? Won't your wife have to pester you to tell her more about the Magic City and what you saw there?"

"If you buy her some small things to take back, she'll be happy as a flower, and she'll have face in front of her little sisters."

"Won't she love you to death and like you to death? You've seen the big world, you're not like other boys in the countryside..."

Ye Chenghe had already been tempted by him into a fantasy, his eyes were blank, the corners of his mouth were split open, and he was almost laughing to the back of his ears.

He was almost drooling.

Ye Yaopeng looked at his silly appearance, full of disgust, too unpromising.

Ye Chengjiang was also excited by Ye Yaodong's words, "Third Uncle, you're so right. If I've been to the Magic City, I can brag when I go home. Won't everyone look at me with admiration?"

"Yes, at that time, the little girls in the village will look at you with admiration. If you just crook your finger, people will fight to be your girlfriend."

Ye Chengjiang's cheeks turned red to the back of his ears, "I don't want to be like that silly Chenghe."

"Ah? What?" Ye Chenghe came back to his senses only after hearing his name, "Why call me?"

"Call you to eat shit!"

"Third Uncle said you go eat shit!"

"I'm talking about you."

"I'm going to the Magic City with Third Uncle, you call me to eat shit, that's calling him, so you scolding me is scolding him, hmm, you have to go eat shit too."

Ye Yaodong looked at the two silly boys with disgust, knowing only shit and urine all day long, how old are they.

"Shut up, you two silly boys."

Ye Yaopeng said, "Since Chenghe is also willing, then just let him set off with you then. Just like Ajiang, if you have anything, let him make the decision. Anyway, he's already engaged, not a child anymore, he has to be treated as an adult. You should also teach him more and let him be more mature."
