Chapter 1800: Lin Guangming's Plan

"It seems you haven't earned little this year. I was wondering, how come more than half a year has passed and you haven't come to borrow money from me? So it turns out you have money yourself."

Ye Chenghai laughed, "Let me tell you, the environment has improved this year. Those small factories and small workshops are popping up like mushrooms after rain. There are a bunch of people doing business. I feel that this year is obviously much easier to make money than last year. Running business is much simpler, one talk and it's done, and there are constant repeat orders."

"That's for sure. You're just starting out now, you must do a good job in quality and reputation, so that everyone will keep coming to you. The leader toured the south last year and gave a speech in the south. This year is another spring, and business will definitely be very easy to do in the future."

"I'm staring at the news every day now, watching the 7 o'clock news broadcast every night, listening to some major events."

"That's a good habit, you're also doing well. Ah Yuan mentioned you today and was envious."

"He's already been promoted, what's there to be envious of me for? When he arrives in two days, I must have a good drink with him."

The two of them had their own achievements, and they couldn't compare in different fields.

Anyway, they had roughly achieved their respective goals from when they were young.

After Ye Yaodong chatted with Ye Chenghai for more than half an hour, he hung up. It was also time for dinner, and both of them had to go eat first.

It was also at dinner time that he saw Lin Guangming following Ye Chengjiang back to eat dinner, looking lifeless.

Ye Chengjiang still looked energetic.

The two carried their trays to his side and sat down.

"What's wrong with you two? One looks full of vitality, and the other looks like his vitality has been sucked dry?"

Lin Guangming was listless, "I'm tired, I did hard labor for a day, my sweat dried and then got wet, and then dried and got wet again."

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chengjiang, feeling like it wasn't the same thing. Did this one look like he had earned a lot of money?

"You'll get used to it." Ye Chengjiang comforted him.

"Get used to a ghost, I'm not going tomorrow even if I die."

After Lin Guangming finished speaking lifelessly, he complained to Ye Yaodong, "This is much more tiring than working for you. When working for you, at least there are others to help move things during loading and unloading. At Ah Jiang's place, I have to unload the goods all by myself. In this scorching noon, I nearly got heatstroke."

"And you work in the evening and at night, he's not human, he called me to work at noon, I nearly got heatstroke and turned into a dried corpse."

Ye Chengjiang was unconvinced, "How is it that exaggerated? Didn't I work together with you? I'm still fine, you're just too delicate. You just worked too little, go with me again at noon tomorrow."

"Damn you, it's your own work, your own industry, you feel fine even if you work to death, and you can grit your teeth and continue working. And what did you do in the afternoon? You were just directing there, helping occasionally. You call that working together?"

Ye Yaodong asked, "Did he pay you?"

"That he did."

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chengjiang again, "It's too hot now, you still have to rest at noon, otherwise it won't be worth it if you get heatstroke or fall ill."

"There's less competition at noon, and Chenghe and I take turns on shifts. Three days for me on the day shift, three days for him on the night shift. It's not like we're always under the sun, if there's no work, we just blow the fan and sleep in the truck."

"Be careful."

Lin Guangming: "He's a boss, running around everywhere to take jobs, no need to help move goods, just directing."

Ye Yaodong looked at their tanned faces, he had never seen them so dark before.

"You two should also do some sun protection, you're so dark. The factory is holding a social gathering for the Qixi Festival next month, you're so dark, be careful you won't find a partner."

"Ah! Third uncle, why didn't you say so earlier? It's over, my glorious image, my handsome face is gone, I'm going to be delayed again." Ye Chengjiang touched his face and was annoyed.

"It's still in time to nourish it now."

Lin Guangming didn't care, anyway, he had a partner.

Because there were many holidays during the fishing ban period in the past two months, he also ran to the textile factory every three days to find his partner for dates and meals, and the relationship between the two heated up rapidly.

He himself felt that he might be the first person of his generation in the family to get married.

"No, I have to change to the night shift with Chenghe later. For the sake of my happy life, he has to sacrifice a little."

Ye Yaodong teased, "Maybe he's dying to change to the day shift? That way you can stay up all night, and he can go home to live his happy life."

"That's right, he's a man with a wife, why work the night shift? Isn't it better to stay home with his wife and children at night?"

As soon as Ye Chengjiang finished speaking, he looked at Lin Guangming again, "Brother has changed to the night shift, do you want to continue mixing with brother, earn more money for a wife? There's only half the time left this month, and the fishing ban ends next month, so there won't be any extra money to earn, you'll have to work for third uncle every day."

Lin Guangming was shaken, "I'll consider it."

"Consider my ass, aren't you tired of dating every day? Still considering."

"Not tired, you don't understand," Lin Guangming said with a look of intoxication, love-brained, "Two people in love hate not being stuck together every moment, not wanting to be separated for a second, having endless things to say every day, every date feels like time passes so fast, you don't understand."

Ye Chengjiang instantly shook off a layer of goosebumps, "Disgusting."

"No need to envy, when you find the right person, you will also have my feeling, I am now telling you as someone who has been there..."

"Shut up," Ye Chengjiang picked up a piece of vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth, then wiped his own chopsticks, "Disgusting."

He didn't know if he found his saliva disgusting or his words disgusting.

Ye Yaodong also felt his teeth ache.

This should have been said to those single dogs when everyone was there at noon, not just the two of them hearing it.

After Lin Guangming swallowed the vegetable in his mouth, he was suddenly energetic again, no longer looking half-dead, but instead sharing his love experience with great interest.

"Let me tell you, when two people are in love, it feels really wonderful, even a sugar-coated hawthorn makes you want to have a bite and me have a bite..."

Ye Chengjiang couldn't listen anymore, carried his tray and turned to sit at the table behind, if he listened any longer, he felt he was going to vomit.

Ye Yaodong also felt that people in love were a bit confused, and moved his tray to the side.

"Telling you, and you're hiding, you deserve to be a bachelor, I am teaching you experience, so that you won't be silly when you are in love..."

Who was silly, he didn't know.

Ye Chengjiang carried his tray and walked further away, feeling he shouldn't be able to hear the fool talking, and then he sat down.

If falling in love would make him look like this fool, he felt it wasn't necessary to find a partner.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiuqing called to say that the two brothers, Lin Guangyuan and Lin Guangwen, had already been sent to the train.

"... Your son was excited to death when he saw Ah Yuan yesterday, and even asked Ah Yuan to take off his clothes for him to wear, saying he wanted to be a navy soldier in the future."

"Forget it, a sailor is about the same, he's already achieved half of it."

"He was nagging me two days ago, saying why didn't you buy a motorcycle in Shanghai, and said you don't know how to drive a small car, every time you come over you have to ride a bicycle. If there was a motorcycle at home in Shanghai, you could be more convenient."

"He wants it himself, right? As soon as he sticks his butt out, I know what kind of shit he's going to take. Don't even think about it. I buy it and I go over once or twice a month, and drive it for a few days? Is this bought for me to drive, or for him to drive?"

"I said the same thing, told him not to even think about it, to honestly ride his bicycle to school every day. Everyone rides bicycles, if he's the only one who pops out a motorcycle, what if he hits someone? If you fall off a bicycle, you won't fall too badly, at most you'll have a blue and purple bruise, but a motorcycle is serious. If you lose an arm or a leg, there's nowhere to cry."

Ye Yaodong said sternly, "This can't be bought for him, the most dangerous thing is a motorcycle. A small car at least has a layer of iron shell outside. He's still in high school, a bicycle is enough, don't think of one thing and then another."

"Hmm, I already told him to give up the idea. This is just chatting about him, mentioning it so you know, and also so you don't spoil him, don't buy whatever he wants."

"Do I need you to tell me that? When have I ever spoiled the two sons? Your son saw them sitting on the train to go back to their hometown, and he kept nagging that he wanted to go back too, saying he hadn't gone back this year, are you not planning to go back this summer vacation?"

"It's a bit difficult to get away this year. I didn't know Ah Yuan was going back today before, I only knew when he came over temporarily yesterday. Otherwise, you could have taken the children back with him. When Ah Wen said it yesterday, I didn't think much of it, now that people have left, forget it."

"When you called me yesterday, I didn't think much of it either, I only had some thoughts before going to bed, anyway, forget it for now."

"Let's see next month. In another week, the fishing boats at home will all be back. If I can get away by then, I'll take the two children back to stay for ten days or half a month before school starts, and then bring them back before school starts."

"Then let's talk about it next month, anyway, I'll have to sail back to deliver goods next month."

After the couple finished chatting about this, they chatted about family matters. After hanging up the phone, not two minutes later, Ye Fu called again.

Ye Fu called to report the recent harvest of the fishing boats, and asked when the fishing boats at home would go up. It was only about half a month, so they definitely had to go up in advance, and couldn't calculate the time exactly.

This wasn't an urgent matter for him, he let his father handle it, and let his father decide when to go up. He didn't know what the weather was like at home, or what the wind force was.

Next, he had a lot of things to do. Three locations had been selected for the fish meal processing plant. He would go out to visit and look at them tomorrow morning, and then have the person in charge go to the government to apply for docking, and finally have a meeting to decide which one was most suitable.

After deciding, he would have to arrange the factory director and other responsible personnel to take over.

These personnel would definitely have to be transferred from the ships, which was a later matter.

After determining the location, he would have to arrange construction, reserve the assembly line machines, and finally arrange personnel. It was still early, but this project was also very important, and he had to watch it from beginning to end.

Now that the weather was hot, he wasn't even active in going out to collect debts. This scorching summer was only suitable for going out in the morning.

Ye Yaodong arranged all outdoor activities in the morning, some meetings of the factory in the afternoon, and the night was suitable for going out for social engagements and starting nightlife.

And even the social gathering was arranged in the evening. The logistics planning side had already confirmed it a month in advance. It was still the original First Textile Factory, and the general charter had already been decided.

The two factories had had interactions, and the first social gathering was held very successfully. Their hosts were enthusiastic and thoughtful, and didn't let the female comrades return empty-handed. The factory's favorability was still quite high.

When the social gathering was mentioned for the second time, the other party's leader agreed very easily this time.

Although it was still the original factory, the people might not necessarily be the original people. It didn't matter if they were the original people, there were plenty of good men in his factory, not necessarily the original ones, there were plenty of choices, if this one didn't work, change to the next one.

In an environment where there were more monks than gruel, the right to choose a partner was not in the hands of the bachelors in their factory.

Originally, Ye Chengjiang wanted to take advantage of this month to make himself whiter and more handsome, but when he heard it was still the textile factory, he couldn't get excited.

Half of it didn't succeed, and then he went to show off like a peacock, it might be the other party's acquaintance or best friend, he couldn't pass that hurdle in his heart, it was quite embarrassing.

It would be better to change to another factory, depressed.

However, he looked in the mirror and saw that he was tanned dark by the sun, so he still paid attention to some sun protection.

This opportunity wouldn't work, what if there was a next time? At least make himself look a bit more handsome, at least not so dark. If he went home like this, his mother probably wouldn't recognize him.

After Lin Guangwen went back with Lin Guangyuan, Ye Chenghe didn't live with them, going home every day to hold his wife and children. There were only Lin Guangming and Ye Chengjiang left in the dormitory to depend on each other.

The two could only go out and come back together every day. Lin Guangming also had to follow Ye Chengjiang to earn extra money when he wasn't driving, only not going when he had a date.

Ye Chengjiang also asked curiously, "When are you planning to get married? You've been dating for more than half a year, right?"

Lin Guangming's expression suddenly became a bit bad, and he sighed, "I can do it anytime, it depends on her. She hasn't mentioned me to her family yet, saying I'm from out of town, worried that her family won't accept it."

"What's wrong with that? You're not from here, but haven't you been living here all along?"

"Right, that's what I said, but she's still worried and hasn't mentioned it to her parents."

"What does it matter if you're local or not? Just live here. There are so many people working here from out of town, can they all be local?"

Lin Guangming spread his hands, "Wait and see, anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

"You're not in a hurry, but the girl is at the right age, and she hasn't told her family she has a partner. Her family will definitely introduce her to someone, definitely will urge her. You're not in a hurry, but her family will be. When the time comes, she'll be hesitant, and then her family will arrange a blind date for her, and she'll be married off in a daze?"

"That wouldn't happen, right? Now there's freedom of love, refusing arranged marriages."

"Where do parents have arranged or not arranged? When you're at the right age, they naturally urge you to get married. If their daughter can't get married, they don't have face either. If she gets married late, who knows if the spit will drown her."

Lin Guangming's brows were wrinkled enough to pinch a fly to death.

Ye Chengjiang thought about it and gave him a suggestion, "Why don't you ask third uncle and see if you can buy a house in his family quarters, anyway, you've saved a lot of money now."

"Third uncle also said, those who contribute a lot can be given the opportunity to buy a house, you've already signed a 10-year contract, and your contribution is also quite large."

"You've already bought a house locally, that's enough sincerity, you've settled down here, then everything is easy to talk about."

"You have to hurry up and set the status, otherwise the girl you like will marry someone else, see if you regret it."

Lin Guangming felt a tightness in his heart when he heard it, as if his partner was going to marry someone else tomorrow.

"Don't talk nonsense, alarmist."

"I'm telling the truth, analyzing it for you in advance, so you won't end up with nothing. Like Ah Hai, didn't he buy a house in the provincial capital before he could marry his wife? Now he has a factory director father-in-law as a backer, his career is booming, and he even started his own factory and became a boss."

"I'm a bit embarrassed to go find uncle-in-law to talk."

"Why are you embarrassed? This is your life event! In order to marry the girl you love home, weigh it yourself, see if you want to be thick-skinned and go find third uncle, see if your face is important or your partner is important?"

"Of course, the partner is important."

"Knowing the partner is important, then go find third uncle directly. As long as third uncle agrees, you can call her directly. Say you've already bought the house, don't have so many concerns, the ugly daughter-in-law will have to see her parents-in-law sooner or later. How to arrange the marriage locally, just say follow their local customs."

Lin Guangming said in a small voice, "Then my parents probably won't be happy either. If you don't count my sister, I'm the eldest son. If I marry a wife outside, isn't that about the same as being a live-in son-in-law?"

"Are you stupid? Can't you hold one here, and then hold one back in your hometown? Ye Chenghe married a local wife, aren't they both living here? When you marry one from your hometown, you'll need to bring her here. You've already sold yourself to third uncle for 10 years, you have to stay here for 10 years anyway, how can people who have to live here be called live-in sons-in-law?"

"Don't say it, I regret it, development is too fast now, I thought the longer the time I signed, the better, it's an iron rice bowl, now... forget it, can't talk about it, only blame the changes for being too fast."

"Go find third uncle and talk, otherwise the partner who is about to enter the house might become someone else's wife. Since she can meet you on a blind date, her family will definitely arrange other blind dates for her, definitely urging her, she's the same age as you."

"Alright, then I'll go find uncle-in-law to talk after lunch."

"Hmm, you've been dating for more than half a year, and you only said it now, and she hasn't even told her parents about you. The leader said, dating without marriage as a prerequisite is being a hooligan, now the other party is being a hooligan, you can't give her a chance to be a hooligan, once confirmed, take her down directly."

Lin Guangming didn't appreciate it, and said angrily, "You're the one being a hooligan, she just doesn't know how to tell her family."

Ye Chengjiang pointed his index finger at him twice, "Look at you, having a partner and no humanity, you're already protecting her like this, you'll be eaten to death sooner or later."

If Ye Yaodong were here to hear this, he would also have to say "love-brained".

"Since you're so good, why were you abandoned? People didn't even want to date you, and turned around to marry someone else?"

Critical hit.

Ye Chengjiang nearly couldn't catch his breath, "Said so many times, it was me who didn't want her, I just wanted to date, didn't want to get married yet, later she even called me and cried to death! I did it so as not to delay her!"

"You just wanted to find a partner to be a hooligan because you were lonely, and people wanted to get married! Hooligan!"

"Returning evil for good, I gave you an idea, and you turned around to poke me, remember this, having a partner and no humanity."

"It's you who are too bad, not wanting to get married, but still writing letters to flirt with people, dating without marriage as a prerequisite is being a hooligan, people didn't do anything wrong, it's you who are wrong, so you are the one who wants to be a hooligan!"

Ye Chengjiang was speechless, "Get lost."

"Don't sign up for the social gathering next month, so as not to harm other girls, and waste resources, give the opportunity to those who want to get married."

Ye Chengjiang wanted to give him a punch, he just didn't want to get married now, can't dating be longer? Must it be confirmed, and then get married?

He was lonely now, that's true, but isn't that very normal?

Damn it!

It seems he has to let Ye Chenghu introduce him to a younger one!

That way he can date and not get married, and no one will urge him!

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is cute, youthful, and lively!

Who knows, maybe he'll pick up a college student home too!

Ye Chenghu was sneezing while making up lessons at school. In July, he was confused himself.

The study committee member at the same table asked with concern, "Caught a cold? Why are you sneezing in this weather?"

"Don't know, maybe I blew the fan too much last night."

"Looking at you usually as strong as a calf, playing ball every day, I thought your immunity would be very good."

"Originally, when have you ever seen me get sick?"

"You can't say that, sometimes God is watching you."

Ye Chenghu quickly closed his mouth tightly, he regretted it as soon as he said it, of course, this couldn't be said.

Ye Chengjiang was angry and ignored Lin Guangming.

But Lin Guangming, who was love-brained, couldn't sit still. When he was helpless and had no way, he had no choice, but now that he had a trick, he couldn't wait to try it.

Dead or alive, he had to ask early, so as not to wait and suffer.

"Let's go, accompany me to find uncle-in-law?"

"Not going."

"Go, I'm embarrassed to go alone, can you help me say something? Help me knock on the side."

"Say a chicken feather, said so much just now, and ended up not being a person inside or out, not saying it. Go yourself. Anyway, you're the one who wants to marry a wife, not me, none of my business."

Ye Chengjiang pulled the sheet, straightened the pillow, lay down directly, closed his eyes, and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"I was wrong, okay? Wasn't it you who said my partner was being a hooligan first, and then I got angry and poked you? You're still holding a grudge."

"You poked me four times."

Lin Guangming pulled him, "Don't be so small-minded, let's go, it's mealtime, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Not going."

"If uncle-in-law can agree, I'll treat you to a month of meals."

"Isn't this what should be?"

"Let's go..."

Lin Guangming dragged him off the bed.

Ye Chengjiang cursed, and followed him half-pushed and half-willing. ===== CHAPTER 1801 =====
