Chapter 1534

After lunch and sending off the guests, Ye Yaodong settled the account and returned to the factory to inspect. He also had to call home.

He also applied for a telephone line in the factory in advance. Since he is running a processing plant, it won't work without a phone.

He had already called Lin Xiuqing early in the morning, but now after treating the guests, he thought about calling back again.

However, after Lin Xiuqing answered the phone in the morning, she went to get busy. It was already past 2 o'clock when he finished eating and sending off the guests. She was not at home, but at the factory in town.

And Ye Xiaoxi was also sent to school after September 1st, becoming an official primary school student, no longer playing around at home idly.

Only the old lady was at home, picking up the phone tremblingly.

She called out eagerly: "Dongzi? Is it Dongzi?"

"It's me."

"Dongzi, are you busy? Is the processing plant running smoothly? Pay more attention to your health, let your father share more for you."

"Know, just finished busy sending off the guests, only then did I take time to think about calling back to tell you."

"Hey good, it's cold now, remember to wear more clothes, gloves, scarves, and hats must be worn, especially when you deliver goods too late at night, the night is much colder than the day."

"Know, you too."

"Then when are you planning to come back this year? Do you want your mother and Ah Qing to go up and play for a few days?"

"Have this idea, thinking like last year, first pick up my mother to stay for a week, then go back and change Ah Qing to take the three little ones up, just in time for the three little ones to have winter vacation, go up and play for a few days, and then go back together for the New Year."

"Oh, this is also good. I heard from Ah Qing that you bought a new courtyard this year, bought a boat, built a house, and the processing plant opened today. It is necessary to let them go up and see it well. It's a pity that I'm old and can't walk..."

The old lady's tone was full of regret, regretting that she could not witness his highlight moment, and could not see how his industry had developed and how powerful it was.

Can only see the one-third of an acre of land at home, and can only listen to Ah Qing talk about the rest.

"It's okay, if you can't walk, don't walk. I'll take photos back for you to see, it's the same. Today I took a lot of photos, mine, the factory's, and Shanghai's. I'll take them back for you to see. You can see them when you go back in a while. If you can't walk, I'll walk for you. If you can't see, I'll see for you. Taking photos back is equivalent to you seeing them."

"Hey, hehe, you are right, you just see for me, it's the same to see photos."

"A thick pile of photos, accumulated a lot of photos all year round, I'll tell you the story of the origin of the photos one by one when I go back."

"Good good good, then remember to come back early, do you want me to call your mother to answer the phone?"

"Forget it, too far."

The old lady held the phone in one hand and hurriedly went to dig her pocket with the other, smiling, "Far what? Children have fast feet, I'll go to the door and shout Xiao Yu and the twins, give them a few candies, they can call your mother back immediately. Let's talk a few more words, and your mother will be home."

"Okay."

"Then wait for me."

The old lady put down the phone and picked up the crutch, slightly trembling, but it could be seen that she was very anxious and wanted to walk faster.

Ye Yaodong couldn't see across the phone, otherwise he would have told her to be slower and be careful. He could only vaguely hear the old lady shouting there.

"Xiao Yu, twins..."

Everyone doesn't like to call the twins' names. Anyway, they are twins when they open their mouths, and they know who it is when they hear it.

After waiting for a long time, the old lady came back and picked up the phone.

"Dongzi, I let them go call your mother for you."

"Hmm."

"This Xiao Yu and Xiao Jiu are very good. After Xiao Jiu went to school, she also shouted to go to school every day, making Huimei have to buy her a schoolbag first to coax her... The dogs at home are also, Xiao Jiu went to school, a group of dogs followed her to school every day, like bodyguards..."

The old lady chattered and told him about the things that happened at home. He only needed to give a response occasionally, and she could talk endlessly.

Until Ye mother came, she handed the phone to her unfulfilled, "Your mother is here, let her talk to you first."

"Dongzi, why did you call again? Didn't you just call in the morning? Is this busy?"

"Hmm, just finished, father said he missed you, asked if you want to go over and play for a few days, and incidentally see the new processing plant?"

"What miss me? Don't fool me, can that old thing say he misses me? He is more comfortable and happy outside alone."

"Father drank too much in the afternoon and said it." Ye Yaodong talked nonsense.

"The old thing is drunk as soon as he sees wine, don't mention drinking, he is as happy as a god outside, miss me a ghost."

"Then do you want to go up and play?"

"Go, why not. I have to go and knock on him, otherwise he doesn't know who his surname is. You are tired to death, he has to be held to the sky by people."

The old lady also echoed on the side, "Yes, have to knock on him, Dongzi is busy without touching the ground and still calls back, he is good, he only knows how to drink horse urine all day, and doesn't know how to help share, go up and scold him more."

"Okay, then I'll arrange a boat for you, and I'll call you when there is news."

"Hey good, oh, I haven't been to the Western-style house for a year. That Western-style house was quite beautiful last year, big and bright, and the sun shines in, it's comfortable. This time, I have to buy more things for the New Year, everyone praised the fabric I bought back last year as beautiful and foreign, and they all entrusted me to tell them if I go..."

Ye mother was full of joy and had already started to calculate what to buy back.

As soon as Ye Yaodong heard that others entrusted her to buy things, his head was about to get big.

The shadow of the big bag and small bag last year was still there. Whatever he bought, his mother had to think about her pile of relatives, and her mouth could recite this to the aunt, that to the second aunt, this to the uncle's wife...

The gifts for the seven aunts and eight aunts, she didn't miss any of them, it was just bitter for him and his father, following behind and carrying big bags and small bags.

"Don't make it like wholesale when the time comes, whatever people entrust you to buy, can't you not say it?"

"How can that work, everyone wants me to go again, so that I can bring back some things we don't have here, it's already agreed. I clearly want to go, and when the time comes, I don't tell people, go by myself, people will think I'm guarding against them."

"Whatever you want, as long as you can carry it."

"Can carry, why can't carry, anyway you have a car, send me directly to the boat, I get off the boat and there is a car at home to pick me up, what can I carry."

Ye mother was extremely happy, her words were with a smile, as if she had already seen herself bringing back big bags and small bags, being surrounded by everyone and complimented.

Ye Yaodong couldn't stop her, so he ignored her.

"What about your father, he said he missed me and didn't see him call?"

"Went to sleep."

"I said it was all you made up, I haven't heard him say a good word in my life."

"You didn't say any good words to him either."

"Beautiful him! Still want to hear good words? The old lady served him until old, still want to say good words? Praise him twice, he can step on his nose and face."

Ye Yaodong felt he had nothing to say to his mother.

Can't take it, leave it to his father to eat.

"How was your factory opened in the morning? Has it started? Can things be sold?"

"Of course, aren't you talking nonsense? I naturally contacted it in advance, had orders, and chose to start production today."

"That's good, then it can earn money as soon as it opens, otherwise so many people, the expenses are a large sum, fortunately it is to work first, and then pay wages later. It's a pity, the processing plant didn't open in the village, it's all cheap for outsiders, earned by outsiders."

"Can the village earn it?"

"Why can't earn it? Everyone in the village has wages to receive, that's good."

"You really know how to think for the collective."

"That must be."

"Okay, nothing, I'll hang up, just want to call back to tell you, today is smooth."

"Good good, then when you set the boat for me to go up, remember to call and tell me, so I can tell the old sisters."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, and hung up after perfunctory words.

He was sitting in the office calling, and after calling, he leaned comfortably on the chair behind him, but it was hard and uncomfortable, so he hit another one and leaned on the handle, with two feet on the office desk.

"Comfortable, this is the boss..."

He looked at the ceiling and his bright office, feeling very proud. Today he specifically wore leather shoes, feeling that he was human-like, finally like a boss.

"Boss..."

"Come in."

Ye Yaodong heard the knock on the door and immediately put his feet down and sat down.

"This is the quantity of goods needed tomorrow."

"Understood, I will arrange, send it over at night..."

Ye Yaodong was pleased, the grass-roots team has a look.

He folded the quantity list, put it back in his bag, and then looked at the time, feeling it was still early, and no one called to notify him that the wharf goods were back.

He hesitated for a while, intending to write a letter to Lin Guangyuan first, informing him that the processing plant had started smoothly, and the fishing boats could also be received in a month or two.

He hesitated for a long time some time ago, whether to receive demobilized soldiers when starting, or receive them after getting on track.

Later, he pondered, he still has to make achievements himself to say receiving, otherwise, what if it collapses after receiving, isn't that slapping his face?

This year, let's do it first. As the performance gets better and better, it will definitely expand. When the time comes, report the number to Lin Guangyuan in advance.

But the fishing boats will be received in a month or two, this can be arranged now.

Just try it, receive a dozen or twenty people first, try it stable, and it will be easy for the military to rest assured to arrange more next year.

As for this year's demobilized soldiers, they have all returned to their hometowns, and there is no big problem. He doesn't need so many people, just let them look at it and contact a few to call back.

They have all returned home with hoes in frustration, and finding them back, the surprise will be even greater.
