Chapter 1598: Set off (Refresh)

With a refrigerator hanging there, the three of them would look up at the refrigerator from time to time while doing homework.

However, there was also a sense of urgency in their hearts, their mother was already cooking, and after cooking, they would eat, and after eating, they could eat frozen jelly, and they could take it to the door to eat, and share with good friends.

Oh my god, thinking about it makes me excited, writing like a god!

Hurry up and finish the homework, so that after dinner there will be plenty of time to go out and share with little friends.

Otherwise, dawdling will delay the time to go out and play.

Ye Yaodong was bored, standing behind this one to look, standing behind that one to look.

"Rare, not bad, not bad..."

Ye Chenghu's brows were wrinkled enough to pinch a fly to death, looked at the old dad behind him, and gripped the pen tightly. "Dad, can you not turn around us, so annoying..."

Ye Xiaoxi also protested. "Right, you affected my homework! If I don't do well in the final exam, blame you!"

"Such a big hat buckled down? Why don't you say that your grades will be bad in the future because of me?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't stand it either. "Stop bothering them, let them do their homework, don't get in the way there. Either go into the room and lie down, or go out for a stroll."

"I'm not at home, you nag and say I don't see anyone all day, now that I'm under your nose, you think I'm in the way."

The old lady sat at the door, poked her head in and shouted, "Dongzi, hurry up and cut a handful of water spinach, just right to pick and stir-fry at night."

"Coming."

Ye Yaodong responded to the door, and looked at Lin Xiuqing again. "I'll go do work, alright? Give me the knife."

"I need the knife, you take scissors to cut, remember to leave the roots, it can grow again."

"Know."

Ye Chenghu muttered in a low voice. "Quiet."

Ye Chengyang: "Shh~"

Ye Xiaoxi: "Hurry up and write, otherwise Dad will come again later."

Ye Yaodong glared at them when he turned back.

Lin Xiuqing looked at these drooping heads whispering, and smiled, thinking they didn't hear it.

After dinner, he also sat at the door to enjoy the cool air, which was rare.

Back for several days, felt like being outside, not running around or drinking, it was rare to lie on the reclining chair and blow the sea breeze, comfortably enjoying the cool air.

Not far away, a pile of children were divided into several circles, chattering about the refrigerator, and his three children showed off again.

Full of spring breeze, proud, and then in and out of the house, constantly opening the refrigerator to take jelly.

It was just that Lin Xiuqing was busy in the workshop and didn't watch them, otherwise she would have scolded them long ago.

Ye Yaodong also scolded them when he saw them entering and exiting many times.

"If you open it again, the refrigerator will break, and then watch your skin."

"Won't open it, I'll just take it one last time..."

"Dad, there's no jelly, it's all eaten..."

"No wonder."

Still said not to open it, it's all eaten, of course not to open it.

"Dad, buy some more jelly tomorrow!" Ye Xiaoxi hugged his leg and acted spoiled.

"Don't buy."

"Buy~ buy~ buy some more, so delicious~"

"Don't buy! Buy again and the refrigerator will break!"

"Won't, we guarantee not to open it."

"Don't open then don't need to eat, then what to buy."

"Ah~ ah~" Ye Xiaoxi acted spoiled with a hundred turns in her mouth, her bottom sat on his feet, shaking his legs.

"Ouch, the leg is going to break, go away, go play by yourself."

"Want to buy, want to buy~"

"Buy it with your own money, I have no money."

"Mom has money..."

"Then go find your mom."

"Don't want, she will scold me."

"I will also scold you."

"Dad~ Dad~"

Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and remained unmoved.

She hadn't acted spoiled for a while, seeing him close his eyes, didn't want to persist, hummed and stomped her feet in anger, and went into the house.

Clatter~

Ye Yaodong got up and looked, the mosquito coil beside was stepped over by her.

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the mosquito coil ash on her feet, her face immediately wrinkled into a ball, the whole person was not good, and then jumped, stomping her feet.

"Ah ah ah..."

"What's there to shout about, I haven't scolded you for being clumsy, go wash your feet and it will be fine."

After saying this, he put the mosquito coil iron plate back, and put the fallen mosquito coil back.

Ye Xiaoxi stomped her feet alternately, and her hands also swung with large amplitude, like a human wave drum, pouting and humming into the house to wash her feet.

After two wet feet came

"You little brat..."

Ye Yaodong laughed and scolded her. He watched her happily turn around and go back to laughing and playing with a group of children.

At this moment, the phone in the room suddenly rang.

The old lady struggled to stand up, but he said, "I'll answer it. It's definitely for me."

"Is it your father calling you?"

"Very likely."

"Then I'll go answer it."

"No need. I don't even know if it is. If it is, I'll tell him I'm going up two days late."

"He's so long-winded, he's definitely calling to ask if you've left yet."

Ye Yaodong didn't respond and quickly went inside to answer the phone.

Sure enough, just as he spoke, it was his father's voice.

"Dongzi, you're leaving tonight, right? Counting the days, you should be leaving tonight. We agreed you'd be here within a week."

"I only just got back from the city today. I'm not done yet, I have to stay two more days."

"Huh?"

"I have to go to town tomorrow to talk business. I want to arrange a dedicated boat to bring the goods back. The factories in town and Ah Cai's side need a large quantity. Selling the goods brought back is more valuable and the profit is higher."

"Huh? How much more can you sell a boatload of goods for?"

"At the very least, ten thousand or so? A boatload is about 300 tons. If I sell it for two cents more, that's over 10,000 yuan more. Some goods sell for even more than two cents extra."

Now Ye's father had nothing to say, and he didn't dare to urge him anymore.

He was afraid that urging him to come up now would affect his ability to make big money.

Making ten or twenty thousand more per shipment is a lot of money.

"Then... when do you have to come up? I really can't handle it here, I'm too busy."

"Don't you have Chen Baoxing and the others?"

"That still gives me a headache. There are too many goods, and I'm afraid of messing something up and making a big mistake. A boatload of your goods is worth over a hundred thousand yuan. How can I bear that? Any small loss would be a disaster."

While on the phone, Ye's father had already habitually started pulling at his hair.

This was also a habit he had recently developed.

"I'll try my best, I'll try to finish up in two or three days and go up. Relax a little, it's fine. Even if there's a small loss, I can afford it. Don't put pressure on yourself, just rest easy and keep stamping the documents."

"I want to rest easy and just sit there stamping documents too, but don't I have to wait for you to come back?"

"Got it. At most, I'll leave in three days. I'll call you before I leave."

"Alright, alright, alright. You have to keep your word this time."

"Hmm, has Ah Yuan called in the last few days?"

"No, I've kept your instructions in mind. I haven't received any calls from him, and no one else in the factory has either."

"Alright then, we can only wait for now."

"Just wait. Anyway, we're not short on manpower right now. Everyone is in the near-shore waters, and we have enough hands. The fish you left on the boat are still alive and well."

"Got it. I'll deal with that when I get back."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yaodong saw the old lady's neck stretched out long from the side.

"Your father didn't say anything? Didn't scold you?"

"No. I found an excuse to explain it to him, and we agreed I'd leave in three days."

The old lady nodded, "It's good that you can stay at home for three more days."

"Hmm, the mung bean soup should be chilled by now. I'll get you a bowl."

"Alright, alright. Chilled must be delicious. I've finally gotten to enjoy this in my lifetime, hehe..."

"This is nothing. In the future, there will be plenty of appliances you've never seen before. The days of enjoyment are still ahead."

"Sigh..."

What Ye Yaodong said to Ye's father wasn't just to fool him; it was indeed the truth.

When he was drinking a few nights ago, he had expanded his connections. Everything is easy to talk about at the dinner table, and everyone had some interest.

He also planned to stay a few more days. The cooperation was already facilitated, and then after he went up, he would arrange another boatload of goods to be sent back.

At that time, he could arrange for his father to deliver them. As long as he remembered how much cargo each factory had, he could also let his father come back to relax and brag for a few days.

He couldn't squeeze the little old man too hard; he had to let him relax.

For the next two or three days, except for eating and sleeping, Ye Yaodong was basically not at home, busy with this matter.

Lin Xiuqing knew he was busy with serious business and not just drinking, so she didn't complain about him. Every night when he came back, she would draw water for him to wash his face, bathe, and wash his feet, taking good care of him.

As long as he came home to sleep every day, it was fine.

Ye Yaodong did indeed manage to do that; no matter how much he drank, he would crawl back if he had to.

In the last few days, besides running to town, he had also made several phone calls to Ah Cai's side, and just before leaving, he finalized the quantity and variety of goods for each family.

And after Ah Cai finalized the quantity, he also transferred the remaining payment from the previous few days to the account he provided.

Ye Yaodong also asked him for a deposit for the next boatload of goods, and he asked for deposits for the other boats as well. He couldn't take the risk himself.

Fresh goods are not like other things. Transporting them from thousands of miles away is just to make more money; otherwise, they would sell just as well up there, and there would be no need to make an extra trip.

The shipment a few days ago was because it was the first time and trust had to be established, so he didn't ask for a deposit and only required payment upon delivery.

That won't do from now on. It has to be more standardized, so that it will be easier for him to hand over the shipping to others in the future, and there will be a process.

No rules, no standards.

And after he finished recording all the goods, he also let Lin Xiuqing calculate them once, totaling them up to see how much stock should be prepared and how much profit there would be for the next trip.

The old lady knew he was done and was leaving again at night, so she was a bit reluctant.

"Why don't you tell your father that things aren't going smoothly and stay two more days? If he scolds you, I'll go tell him?"

"I'd like to, but I have a pile of things to deal with up there. I still have to run to the Magic City. I'm afraid staying two more days will delay things."

"So busy? You have to run everywhere."

"Yeah, I have a lot of boats on hand now, and several factories. Although there are many people, I can't leave everything to outsiders."

The old lady nodded in agreement, "That's true, you can't leave everything to outsiders. It's a lot of money. You should hand over more to your father. Your father won't harm you; let him help more."

"If he helps any more, my father will have to jump into the sea. I know what I'm doing. I'm leaving tonight, don't climb out of bed."

"Sigh..."

The three children didn't run out at night either; they just waited expectantly at home, listening.

But after listening for a long time, they didn't hear the main point.

Ye Chenghu bit the bullet and spoke up, "Dad, we have our final exams next week. Will you still be sending goods back in a few days?"

The other two looked on expectantly.

"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. When I send a shipment back in a few days, even if I don't follow, I will have others pick you up."

Lin Xiuqing said, "If you don't come back, you'll have Dad come back, right? Should Mom go up and stay for a few days too?"

"Hmm, see if she wants to go. If she wants to go, then go together and help look after the children while you're at it."

"Then I'll tell her. You go to sleep early, you still have to leave at night."

"Alright."

Lin Xiuqing said to the children, "Go play your own games, don't disturb your father's sleep at home."

"Alright."

Ye Xiaoxi hesitated and lagged behind. In the end, she couldn't hold it in and turned her head.

"Mom, can I call my little sister and tell her I'm going up to play with her in a few days?"

"Call for what? It's late at night, and you'd have to make someone go call her specifically. Whenever your aunt calls back, you can just let her answer it then."

Ye Xiaoxi pouted and peeked at Ye Yaodong with her little eyes.

She knew it would be this result, which is why she hesitated.

Every time she said she wanted to call her sister, her mother would stop her. How hateful!

But with her mother here, she didn't dare to complain to her father.

Ye Yaodong also received her look and knew what she meant. He thought for a moment and said, "Everyone in the factory is working, there are no idle people. We can't send someone specifically to call her for your trivial matter."

Ye Xiaoxi was disappointed, "Alright, I know. Then I'll wait for Auntie to call back."

"You're going up after your exams in two days anyway. You can give your sister a surprise then."

"Think about it, won't your sister jump up in surprise when she suddenly sees you?"

Ye Xiaoxi was happy when she thought of that scene. She was no longer obsessed with calling ahead and went out to play, satisfied.

Lin Xiuqing muttered to him, "Every day it's sister, sister. You have a bunch of friends in the village, yet you can still miss your sister all the time."

"Xiao Yu is the same. Your daughter has a bunch of friends to play with in the village, but Xiao Yu doesn't. Every day I hear Huimei say she keeps talking about her sister."

"That's true, she has no playmates."

"She looks like she's become quiet, she can only play with her two younger brothers."

"After she goes up, it'll be noisy again."

"Doesn't matter, I'm not the one raising them anyway. I'm very busy, just leave it to Huimei."

"Alright, hurry up and go to sleep."

"Hmm."

Lin Xiuqing checked the luggage again, and after confirming nothing was missing, she felt relieved.

Ye Yaodong had missed bringing the black-and-white television several times, but this time he finally remembered to bring it.

It was really because he was too busy and didn't have time to watch TV; without the need, it was easy to forget.

PS: I was lazy today. I'll add another chapter later, at least 7000 words.
