Chapter 1511: Boss Ye
Ye Yaodong went to call the others to launch the boat and also shared the news with everyone.
Everyone praised the twins profusely for being filial.
"Your son is truly smart; knowing his father is back, he gave a surprise right away."
"A filial good son; father, mother, and sister all get a share."
"You want to drink, right? Wait until we get to my house, and let them pee two times for you to drink."
"If you're filial, that's good; you don't need to be filial to us."
Ah Guang changed the subject, "Say, if we ride the motorcycles back later, won't the villagers' eyes pop out in shock?"
Xiao Xiao: "Definitely! We have to enter the village together, motorcycles one after another, driving past the villagers; that would be spectacular."
Ah Zheng: "It's all Dongzi's fault for not bringing his one back; otherwise, it would be even more stylish!"
Ye Yaodong: "What does that have to do with me? My family already has one; that one was bought specifically to ride up there for transportation. Am I crazy enough to bring it back and then carry it back up, lifting it back and forth making unloading inconvenient? Your four are stylish enough; I doubt the whole county has four."
Ah Guang: "Definitely not; don't look at the 2,500 yuan; ordinary people saving for most of a lifetime might not have that much money in hand."
Ye Yaodong: "Stop talking; ordinary people still need to borrow money to get by."
Xiao Xiao: "That's true."
"Hurry and go; each person drives one boat; we still need to reconcile accounts when we return."
Everyone quickened their pace, efficiently getting to work; after reconciling the accounts, they could immediately get paid for the New Year; all of this year's accounts were cleared, except for this last one, and they could show off again.
Reflecting on the past and thinking of the present, they truly felt proud and vindicated.
Yesterday it was dark; they thought it was too late and everyone had gone back to their rooms to rest, so they decided together to bring them back today.
Just treat it as returning home in glory, making those who previously thought they were unreliable look at them with new respect.
The big boat reached the deep-water port in town in only twenty minutes; the docking port was familiar to Ye Yaodong, so it was handled quickly, and the motorcycles were lifted up along with it.
People around, seeing them carrying a brand-new motorcycle off the boat, all came over to help and asked a few questions.
"Where did you buy it? This motorcycle looks really good, so shiny."
"Oh, a new car? This motorcycle is great, much better than a bicycle."
"Isn't that stating the obvious? This motorcycle costs several thousand."
"Several thousand, comrade?"
"Over 2,000, bought in Shanghai; we even waited three months for it to be made." Ah Zheng said proudly.
The crowd was immediately both shocked and envious.
"Shanghai! You actually went that far to buy it?"
"Just on the way."
"Unbelievable; bought in Shanghai, that stuff must be very good..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "There are several more; everyone lend a hand?"
"Several more?"
"Are you buying them to resell? No problem; we are free right now, take this chance to touch them a bit."
Ah Guang pointed at Ye Yaodong, "Except for him, we each have one motorcycle."
"What do you do? So capable?"
"I'll help too..."
They chatted a few words while carrying the motorcycles.
"Ah? You are from Bai Sha Village?"
"No wonder; so you are from Bai Sha Village; no wonder you are so rich, buying a motorcycle for each person."
Their group looked at each other; they hadn't been home much for a year; was something wrong? Was their village so famous?
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? People say Bai Sha Village is now rich as a whole; men, women, and the elderly are all very wealthy."
"I didn't believe it at first, but seeing you each with a motorcycle today, and you are so young, then I really believe it a bit."
"I heard your whole village followed a big boss from the village to Zhoushan City to make big money."
The four of them turned their eyes toward Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong touched his nose and said nothing.
"Does your village boss still need hands? We can go out to sea to work too."
Ye Yaodong coughed dryly, "He seems to not need anyone temporarily; personnel on every boat are arranged perfectly."
"I see, that's a pity; I heard your village boss pays very high wages; every household in your village has bought a TV; it is a famous wealthy village in the surrounding ten miles."
"More than that; I heard they kill fish, raise kelp, and the men run boats; a family earns an incredible amount in a year."
"Hehe, thank you all for helping; I didn't bring anything on me; everyone take a cigarette, and we will leave first."
"Good, no need to be polite."
Ye Yaodong and the others waved to everyone, then each rode a motorcycle, slowly heading up the street, continuing to receive the gaze of the masses.
"Dongzi, so your reputation has spread this far?"
"Our village's reputation has also spread very far; they even say our whole village is rich."
They chatted while riding; anyway, there were many pedestrians on the road, so they couldn't ride fast.
Ye Yaodong said, "Isn't this normal? We were even in the newspaper before; outsiders seeing it would forget quickly, but how could locals not know Bai Sha Village now?"
Ah Guang said, "Right; relatives and friends each pass it on, so naturally it spreads far; of course, everyone knows our village has developed well these past few years, and everyone's conditions are good."
Ah Zheng: "It's also normal for Dongzi's reputation to spread so widely; awesome."
Ye Yaodong was also proud, "Although I wasn't in the village this year, legends about me have been circulating around."
"Stop being proud; this motorcycle is good and handsome, but riding it in the dead of winter is too cold; Dongzi, when will you buy a small car? Then we won't fear wind, sun, or rain, and we can benefit too."
The little suggestion received unanimous approval from everyone.
They had brought it up before.
Anyway, they definitely couldn't afford it; only Dongzi could afford it, and he wouldn't even feel bad about it.
"In a couple of years, will I be able to drive it? There are already so many cars at home."
"It's fine, we'll help you drive."
"Screw it."
They drove along, stopping and starting while chatting; four motorcycles appeared simultaneously, passing through the bustling market. Everyone who passed by and saw them stopped without exception, pointing and discussing, then looking on with full faces of envy.
Only after getting onto the main road did they speed up.
Once they drove into the village, it was even more extraordinary.
From far away, a group of sharp-eyed children spotted them, then shouted and ran over toward them.
"Motorcycles..."
"So many motorcycles..."
"Wow, new motorcycles, so awesome..."
"Ye Chenghu, Ye Yangyang, your dad bought so many motorcycles and came back..."
Everyone: "?"
"Damn it, clearly we each bought one; none of this is your share, so how does it all become 'you bought them' in the mouths of these little brats?"
Ye Yaodong shrugged. "Maybe because my family has more cars?"
"Move over, you little brats, get to the side..."
As they moved forward slowly, a bunch of children followed behind, running and jumping after them, and shouting loudly there.
"Ye Chenghu's dad bought so many motorcycles again..."
"Oh my, did Ah Dong buy so many motorcycles again?"
Writing while dozing off, my brain is a complete mush; I'm too sleepy and it's too uncomfortable. I can only sit up. I forced myself to write 2,000 words over two hours, dozing off while writing. I don't even know what I wrote; I have to keep re-reading to continue writing. Thirty minutes for 300 words; the efficiency is far too low, far too low.
