Chapter 184: Personnel Allocation
Not long after, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua came over together.
The two called Ye Father in unison.
Ye Father put down the work in his hand, clapped his hands and said to the three of them: "There are people coming and going outside, it's not convenient to talk, go inside and talk."
The three looked at each other and followed closely behind.
Ye Yaodong was completely holding the mentality of watching the fun. He didn't care who the boat was given to. Sold, let the two old people collect the money themselves is better.
As soon as Ye Father entered the room, he looked at them and asked: "How do you think about the small boat matter I told you two days ago? Dong Zi has already earned an iron boat with this small boat. This is a good omen. Now that the small boat is eliminated, do you want to accept it?"
The two brothers hesitated for a while, looking at each other, neither of them made a sound?
Ye Yaodong knew at a glance that neither of them was willing to take over, and they were all thinking about the big boat.
Ye Father also understood, but still asked, "Do you really not want it?"
Ye Yaopeng also knew that he couldn't make a sound at this time. He deliberately piled a smile on his face, "Dad, I think since the third brother bought this boat, it's not appropriate to give it to us for free now. I think it's good to follow Dad. I don't know if the second brother wants it?"
Ye Yaohua also followed closely, "Dad, I also think it's good to follow you to drag the net. That small wooden boat is the third brother's, just let him sell it for money, don't worry about giving it to us."
"You really don't want it? Haven't you seen how well the third brother is doing? He earns a lot every day, not worse than dragging the net." Ye Mu couldn't help but interject on the side.
"Mom, that's the third brother's luck. In the village, who can earn a boat in such a short time as easily as him?" Ye Yaohua retorted, "And the third brother is because he dug up oyster pearls on the first day a few days ago that he had that capital. We don't have this luck."
Ye Mu had nothing to say, the facts were indeed so. Dong Zi's ground cage earned more than ordinary people's dragging the net.
Neither of the two brothers wanted to take over the small wooden boat, and Ye Father couldn't help it.
"If you don't want it, then forget it. I will release the wind tomorrow and sell it. Someone has already come to me to ask early today."
It is indeed a bit too much for three people to do an iron boat. Ye Yaodong suddenly had a move, "Dad, why don't you follow me, and give your boat to Eldest Brother and Ye Erge, so it will be evenly distributed. I have too few people here, need someone to help, and you have one more person there."
"Ah?"
The father and three sons were surprised.
Ye Mu disagreed first, "How can this work? It's already separated. How to distribute it like this? That boat is still bought by yourself, and it hasn't warmed up yet..."
After Ye Yaodong spoke, he also went through it in his heart, and felt that the more he thought about it, the more feasible it was.
"Not for free. Dad can rent the boat to Eldest Brother and Ye Erge. After so long, they should also be able to stand on their own, and they can discuss it if they have anything. Here, Dad, you have to help me watch it..."
"I can calculate wages for you, or divide a little profit for you. You are my father, everything is easy to say. It's dangerous at sea, calling anyone is not as reliable as calling family members."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were surprised and then happy. If they could do this, it couldn't be better.
Their boat had too many people, and the third brother only had him. If Dad could go to help him, it couldn't be better.
Ye Father was also thinking while frowning. Of course, he was reluctant to give up his boat, but his son needed help. The third son was rarely so promising, he was a bit hesitant.
Ye Mu looked at this and that, also difficult, looked at Ye Father.
Ye Yaopeng happily persuaded: "Dad, I think the third brother has little experience in dragging the net, indeed need you to help watch to be stable. The boat at home is rented to me and Ye Erge, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of it and pay the rent on time."
"Yes, Dad, that boat is just rented by me and Eldest Brother, the rent will definitely not be less, you go to the third brother's place and can earn a wage, and can take care of him." Ye Yaohua is honest but not stupid.
"Dad, why don't you consider it, I can calculate the wage higher, or directly extract 10% from the profit as a wage. Guaranteed 80, if you earn more, then calculate according to 10%, see how?"
Hiring anyone is not as reassuring as hiring his own father. It is also right to give his father a little more wages. It is also fine to treat it as filial piety to his father.
According to his father's dragging net boat, he earns several hundred a month. He definitely can't earn less than his father.
The good luck of these few months gave him incomparable confidence. He has confidence.
If he hires his father, he can completely entrust the back, not afraid of human disaster.
Ye Father also felt moved when he heard this. The wages given by the third son were not small.
Ye Yaopeng, you continue to say: "Dad, our boat rent can also be high, or calculate according to profit, extract for you?"
Ye Father picked up the water tobacco pot and started smoking again. This is a small habit of his. Whenever he thinks about things, wants to think, or is upset, he will think about smoking a few puffs of water tobacco.
The three brothers also knew his small habit, and all waited patiently for him to think about it.
Ye Father smoked several puffs, the water tobacco pot gurgled, until the tobacco silk burned out, he stopped the action, the mouth and nose exhaled smoke, pulled out the smoke pipe and knocked out the tobacco silk inside.
Then slowly put the water tobacco pot on the table, looked at the three of them and said: "Fine! You all hope that I will help Dong Zi, and Dong Zi's boat indeed lacks someone to help, then I will go to help him. You look at the rent and wages!"
Ye Yaodong was beautiful in his heart after receiving his father's affirmative reply, "Dad, don't worry, I won't let you suffer."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also said happily: "Dad, don't worry, we won't let you suffer either. How much do you think the rent is appropriate?"
Ye Father waved his hand, "You look, you look."
The two brothers rubbed their hands, looking at each other, feeling that it was not appropriate to give less, after all, it was their own father. If he hadn't let it out, they would still have to rely on him to make money.
And every time they went to sea, it was his eldest brother and second brother who took turns to go with his father. In the end, the money was divided into three parts, and they took the whole, and his father only took a little more zero. Obviously, his father did double the work.
Ye Yaopeng hesitated and said: "Dad, how about we calculate the rent for you as 100 yuan?"
Ye Father raised his eyebrows, "So much?"
A total of half a month in a month, it is a bit too much.
"Hehe, Dad, originally you did more, and this boat is yours, it is not appropriate to calculate less. If you think it is too much, then treat it as our filial piety to you."
Ye Yaohua also nodded hurriedly. One less person, they can earn more, not lose, just don't have to take turns to rest, but they fishermen are not afraid of hardship, just afraid of not making money.
Ye Father saw that they were all sincere, and felt very useful in his heart. The depression of having to hand over his boat also dissipated a little.
"Fine, then I won't be polite to you. I will save all this money. Anyway, it will be left for you to divide in the future. Your mother and I are old, and we can't spend much money. It will all be yours in the future."
After Ye Yaodong solved a big event satisfactorily, he was also happy in his heart, and said happily: "Dad, let me tell you, the saddest thing in life is that people are gone, but money is still there. You and Mom and the old lady might as well eat and drink..."
Ye Father kicked over, "You think so, it's strange that you can save money, fortunately you are not the head of the house, otherwise how much family background will be defeated by you, you loser..."
"Hey hey~ I didn't say me, I said you," Ye Yaodong dodged behind his mother, "Money is not saved anyway, eating and drinking is the kingly way, spending it on others is not as happy as spending it yourself..."
"Pa~"
Ye Mu turned around and patted him several times,
"Huh?"
He didn't have much money in his pocket to begin with, so it doesn't matter~
The old lady watched from the side with a smile. Ever since they moved to the new house, the old residence had become deserted. Sometimes there wasn't even a sound of conversation during the day, which was a world of difference compared to the noisy crowd of children in the past.
Once people get old, they like a lively home, and the old lady is no exception.
After the matter was settled, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua went back first, while Ye Yaodong stayed behind to discuss going out to sea at night with his father.
Ye Fu did not expect him to be in such a rush, "Isn't the fishing net not made yet? How can you go without a fishing net?"
"The fishing net is not urgent. I have been using longline fishing these past few days, and the harvest has been quite good. We can try longline fishing first tomorrow. The gang hooks are all ready-made; I made 500 of them two days ago and another 500 these past two days. They should all be finished and delivered this afternoon. We will try a further fishing ground tomorrow. Father, you probably haven't tried longline fishing, right?"
"Many people in other villages use this. I've encountered it at sea. If there are gang hooks, then the fishing net is not urgent. Let's try it tomorrow first. Are you hiring someone to organize the lines or doing it yourself?"
"Hiring someone to do it. How could Aqing find the time? Let her have it a bit easier."
"Hmm."
After finishing the discussion, Ye Yaodong went to the old lady's room to sit for a while longer, showed some concern, and kept her company for a bit before heading back.
When he went out, the sky was already getting dark. The daylight hours have been getting shorter recently, and today was an overcast day, looking very dim.
He walked quickly all the way home, as it was almost time for dinner.
Because he was walking too fast, he didn't pay close attention at the turn and bumped into someone. Before he could speak, the person opposite shouted first: "Are you blind..."
Ye Yaodong stared at Xu Laifu's bruised and swollen cheeks. If it weren't for the voice that allowed him to recognize the person, he wouldn't have known that this was that bastard!
Halfway through his sentence, Xu Laifu recognized the person he had bumped into. His pupils constricted, and in a panic, he turned around and limped away.
"Hmph hmph~ consider yourself lucky, I'm in a good mood today."
I don't know who beat him up again, looking like that; it's truly delightful to see.
Serves him right!
