Chapter 885: One step ahead (Two chapters combined into one, 7000 words)

I don't know how others in the village discussed it, and I don't know how the Zhou brothers next door discussed it?

Did the two Lan brothers go to find others to discuss?

Anyway, the three brothers and Ye Fu rode four bicycles early in the morning. The one under Ye Fu's butt was borrowed from Ah Guang.

A long board was tied to the back of each of the four bicycles, and a sack was tied to each long board. The road was not flat, so it was a bit difficult to ride, but riding slowly was better than walking, and it wouldn't be crooked once you got the hang of it.

Ye Yaodong just thought that it was better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Anyway, they had to go to the county town, so let his eldest and second brothers help carry some.

As soon as the father and three sons appeared in the village riding four bicycles, someone immediately came to ask them questions. Where are they going?

"Tsk tsk tsk, when did you buy bicycles? You father and four sons each have one?"

"Really rich... and four of them..."

Ye Fu smiled and explained, "Borrowed from the son-in-law, have something to send, we won't talk for now."

Actually, it was Ye Fu on the side who stopped. Ye Yaodong didn't even stop, rode straight past, and the two brothers behind followed closely. Seeing he didn't stop, they didn't stop either.

After Ye Fu finished speaking, he immediately got on the bicycle and went to chase them.

Ye Yaodong suspected that after they all stopped, the villagers looked at their 4 bicycles, and it was estimated that they would have to ask a bunch of enthusiastic questions, and then ask about looking at the boat.

Slipping away, that's right, they were in a hurry anyway.

They rode on the main road all the way to the shipyard, and didn't see anyone from their village.

Wu Changzhang received them very enthusiastically. He really didn't expect that Ye Yaodong's family could really buy a boat. They bought one after another, and he had a share in whoever bought it.

And their family was decisive. They saw it yesterday, and ran over early this morning. No one was as fast as their family.

After Ye Fu heard that only they came, he was relieved. He was afraid that the delivery date would be delayed because others snatched it first.

At the same price, the gap between getting it a year early and a year late was huge.

And their order was also very smooth. Anyway, there was Ye Yaodong's sample in front, and Wu Changzhang gave away whatever he could. The deposit of 5,000 was 5,000, and the price was not allowed to be lowered by one step.

Ye Yaodong had already understood it. The two brothers were clumsy and didn't know how to speak. Anyway, they all looked at his meaning. He had no objections, so everyone had no objections.

After signing, they gave the deposit, and they very smoothly got the contract signed by the three of them together.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua's hearts were also settled, and they all grinned.

Ye Yaodong asked a question worriedly: "This delivery date is based on the premise that my boat has not been delivered in advance, right? If my boat is delivered half a year in advance, and the subsequent boats can be arranged in advance, then can the boat ordered now be at least half a year in advance?"

"I dare not guarantee that. Sometimes the preparation of materials is not so smooth, or other equipment is not smoothly arrived, there is a possibility of delay. It is normal to be early or late. Anyway, we will follow the contract."

"I definitely hate not being able to finish it early, deliver the goods, get the final payment, and then make the next boat, produce a little more, and the factory's efficiency will be better."

"After this boat is built, there are only two boats of the same type lined up behind. You came to sign early today, and the order is ranked 3rd. Those behind, even if they come to place an order one day late, must be ranked behind you. You are ordering early and earning early."

"Alright then, let's do it like this."

Wu Changzhang smiled and guaranteed again, "Don't worry, without accidents, we will generally deliver in advance."

Ye Yaodong nodded. Isn't this nonsense? Anyway, he is not in a hurry. He will probably see his new boat by the end of the year.

After signing the contract, the father and four sons stayed in the factory for a while and watched the boat being built for a while.

One day later, the progress was faster, and the expectations in the four people's hearts increased again.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Wu Changzhang, they rode their bicycles to the county town.

It was only noon at this time. They brought eggs before going out, and each ate four or five eggs, so they were full, and they didn't need to buy things to eat on the street.

Actually, this was not Ye Yaodong's wish. He actually quite wanted to taste the snacks set up on the road, or the meals in the state-run hotel would also be fine. He hadn't eaten them in his previous life, and it would probably be difficult to eat them in the future.

He looked around, drooling, but under his father's urging, he had to speed up his riding.

Sending local specialties was also very smooth.

They knew where Director Chen lived, so they sent it directly to the door. Each of them carried a sack to his door, which also surprised him.

However, they sat for a while after sending it, said a few words, and left. They were afraid of troubling others if they stayed too long.

Time was delayed on the way here, and it was not early at this time. People also had to go out to work in advance when the time came.

On the way back, his eldest brother was also shocked by the house of Director Chen's family.

"How can there be such soft... soft..."

"Sofa!"

"Right, it's called a sofa, soft like cotton, I don't even dare to sit down, for fear of sitting it down."

Ye Fu had the same feeling. "It wasn't there last time I came. This is newly bought, it's really comfortable to sit on."

"I'm just afraid of sitting it dirty. Director Chen is really good, he insisted on asking us to sit."

"I see his family has all kinds of home appliances, such a big refrigerator, it looks so imposing."

Ye Yaohua said a little embarrassedly: "The winter melons, pumpkins, dried fish, and dried shrimp in those few sacks we sent, are they a bit unsightly."

"No, people don't lack anything. There are probably a lot of people sending gifts to him. We country people don't have to pretend to be fat, learn the set of city people, the local specialties sent by the countryside are sincere."

This was also the reason why Ye Yaodong didn't specifically go to the department store to buy cigarettes and alcohol. Director Chen was not those people in the border defense station, so there was no need to be so hypocritical. Being real was simple and better.

Ye Fu also nodded in agreement. "We are all country people, and people know it. Helping us is not for those things. Dongzi, just visit more in the future when you come to the county town."

"Let's go, stop talking, the sun is so big, it's scorching, let's go back quickly."

This was the hottest time of the day. If they rode back quickly, maybe they could take a bath and take a nap.

However, today was better than yesterday. Although there was sun, there was wind, and it felt a bit cool when blowing, not as stuffy as yesterday.

After completing a major event, everyone was in high spirits when they went back, feeling that the flowers on the roadside were really fragrant, the grass was really green, and they didn't feel so uncomfortable even when exposed to the sun.

However, when they rode halfway, they happened to meet the four Zhou brothers. The four of them were riding two cars. The two sides were on both sides of the road, and they stopped to greet each other after discovering it.

"Where are you coming from?"

When the Zhou brothers saw the father and four sons coming towards them, their hearts had already skipped a beat. Could it be that they were going to order a boat? I heard they went out early in the morning.

"Coming from the county town." Ye Yaopeng said happily.

Ye Yaodong also looked at his watch. It was already 2:30. It was estimated that the four brothers discussed for a while after eating, and then they were willing to come out.

Ye Fu also asked them with a smile, "It's this time, where are you going?"

"What are you doing in the county town?"

"Are you going to order a boat?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the four brothers with a smile. "Yes, after our brothers discussed it yesterday, we thought about ordering another boat. We went to the shipyard early this morning to discuss the contract and pay the deposit."

"Ah?!!!"

"Your three brothers pooled another boat!!!"

"Another boat???"

All four were shocked!

So rich!!

"Why? Are you also going to the shipyard? Are you also determined to order a boat? It's this time, it's already mid-afternoon. By the time you get to the shipyard, it's estimated to be three or four o'clock, and it will be dark when you come back, right?"

"If you want to order a boat, why didn't you go earlier? Why go now?"

After Zhou the eldest was shocked, thinking about the industries Ye Yaodong had and the speed of earning money, he could only sigh in his heart.

"Isn't it because we have been struggling with the problem of price increases? Discussing back and forth, we have been hesitant there, and it is too much more than the price originally discussed."

"Originally, the boat at home only had a share for me and the second one. The third and fourth ones don't have a boat yet, and they are all working everywhere. Not long after building the house, everyone doesn't have that much money on hand."

"We have been struggling, so at first we thought about calling Ah Peng to see if we could pool together, and we could share it a bit. Yesterday, seeing the two brothers next door calling Ah Peng, we didn't have the nerve to call him."

"Unexpectedly, your three brothers pooled another boat yourselves. It's really... really unexpected..."

"Adong is really capable!" Zhou the second also sighed!

Others also nodded in agreement.

Everyone knew it well. Without Ye Yaodong, relying on Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, they definitely couldn't buy it.

Ye Yaodong smiled. "It's not that I'm capable. My eldest and second brothers also have this heart. The three of us brothers share it equally, so we can accept it by gritting our teeth. Anyway, there is a buffer period of a year or two."

"If you want to order a boat, then hurry up. Maybe someone else or someone from another village will go to see the boat tomorrow."

"Since you have decided, order early and be at ease early. If you drag it late, you are afraid of long nights and many dreams. In case there is another price increase suddenly, you will have nowhere to cry."

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right, we have to hurry up. It's a pity, I thought you went to visit relatives in the morning, with so many things on the back of the bicycle."

"Hahaha, we are also by the way."

A feint, is it okay?

"By the way, when is your delivery date?"

"May or June the year after next, it also depends on the progress."

Zhou the eldest nodded. "Then we'll go first."

Ye Yaodong's father and four sons watched them get on the bicycle, pedaling hard, much harder than when they first met. At first, they were not so anxious.

"Fortunately, we went early in the morning," Ye Fu said with some luck. "If we are half a day late, we will be several months late. It is clearly the same money, but we have to wait several months to deliver."

"No way, there are many people and many opinions, and the price is indeed high. It rose by 2,000 yuan in just one year, and many people panicked all of a sudden."

Ye Yaohua was also happy. "Fortunately, one step early, sure enough, you can't hesitate, the more you hesitate, the more you suffer."

Ye Yaopeng also nodded. "Let's go, go back early."

The father and four sons also got on the bicycle again and went home.

Ye Mu didn't pass on any words today, and she didn't feel very comfortable in her heart. It was a good thing that could be announced to the public, but she could only hold it back first, and she didn't feel happy until the evening.

The matter of the three brothers ordering another boat was spread out in the evening. It should have been spread by the Zhou brothers or their family members, and the village was boiling again.

Another large boat!!!

Ye Yaodong had truly become the most famous person in the village, and also the center of the topic in the village. There were really too many boats, so many that when everyone mentioned him, they couldn't help but show admiration.

It just so happened that because the typhoon was coming, most people stopped working. It was really a time for cooling off and chatting after dinner in the evening. Originally, the topic recently was also fishing boats. Ye Yaodong's three brothers added another fire, making the village boil even more.

Even the Zhou brothers ordered a boat, and it didn't cause any splash when it was spread. Everyone mentioned them and passed it by in one sentence. The focus was still on Ye Yaodong.

It really felt too legendary and dreamy. This year, Ye Yaodong gave their village too many surprises and too many shocks.

Always thought he was awesome enough at the moment, but didn't expect there to be more awesome ones later.

In the evening, the villagers were calculating how many boats he got this year, and they were all concentrated in this year.

What kind of year is this?

Why is it so prosperous for him!

Ye Yaodong sat at the door of his eldest and second brother's house to cool off, and when chatting with everyone, he was also full of high spirits. Although he was humble in his mouth, he was actually quite proud in his heart.

Who can be as awesome as him now!

However, he would definitely become more and more powerful.

At first, he was worried that the boat was changed too fast and was too eye-catching. After all, he was quite unreliable before.

Now that there are so many boats one after another, he has also become the number one person in the village. With so many industries, he is not afraid of another one.

Moreover, most people in the village have heard that he knows big figures and has someone behind him. Now they only have envy left.

When the gap is small, there will be jealousy. When the gap is too large, ordinary people can't be jealous at all.

"Then Adong has spent a lot of money again this time..."

"How did you earn it? It was clearly under the eyelids, just watching it earn so much all of a sudden, so many boats, really amazing."

"It's amazing, no one in the whole village can compare to him. Clearly everyone is the same, but the result is just watching him get rich..."

"Then how did you three brothers divide it?"

Ye the eldest sister-in-law was full of smiles. For the past few days, she looked the happiest today, as if she had already earned a lot of money in her pocket.

"The brothers are all filial, saying that this boat pooled together takes one share of the shares for Dad's old age, and the rest are divided equally."

"Ah! Oh my, that's really filial..."

Ye the second sister-in-law was not to be outdone. "It's also right to provide for their old age."

"Your father and mother have a good life, gave birth to three good sons, and can enjoy happiness..."

Ye Fu and Ye Mu were sitting in their old home to cool off, and when they heard the same words, they were also happy from ear to ear.

They were chatting lively in the open space, and there were other villagers or relatives around. After hearing it, they ran over to inquire and chat. Everyone sat together, one sentence after another, and the atmosphere was festive.

The Lan brothers who hadn't made up their minds to buy a boat were a bit struggling, and they were also asking about buying a boat during the period.

They were still pondering whether it was worth buying, but seeing others happy, and people have a herd mentality, after hearing that the neighbors on the side also bought it, they pulled two or three cousins the next day and ran to the shipyard.

Then, not a few days later, rumors spread in the village that their family had also settled down.

Now, the rumors in the village have become that the feng shui by their beach is good, and even buying a boat is clustered together.

Originally, a few households moved down from the mountain and measured the land on the side. As a result, they started work for a few days, but because the fishing season was busy, they stopped later, and they haven't continued to work until now. After hearing the rumors, they started work again after the typhoon passed.

But this is talk for later.

Just when they were talking lively, Ye Yaosheng suddenly came over. Everyone thought he came to join the fun, and at this time everyone's attention was on discussing fishing boats, and no one paid special attention to him.

Ye Yaosheng glanced, no one paid special attention to him, but he patted Ye Yaodong on the shoulder, signaling to go to the corner.

Ye Yaodong followed him to the corner, a bit puzzled.

"What's wrong, is there anything?"

Ye Yaosheng touched his pocket, took out a pile of change, including big unity and one-yuan, as well as hair tickets. He smiled and said: "I borrowed 130 yuan from you before. I received my salary at the end of the month two days ago, and I just saved the money, just in time to pay you back."

"Ah?"

Ye Yaodong had already forgotten about this, and only remembered after his reminder.

Because at that time, he used a snake to tease the old Wang family, but the old Wang family was fished in troubled waters by others, and the money was touched away. After a fierce toss, the result was a bamboo basket to fetch water, and they didn't take advantage.

He threw this matter behind his head, and didn't specifically think about the 130 yuan borrowed by Brother Asheng.

Unexpectedly, Brother Asheng came to pay back the money at this time, and he saved it quite quickly. It hasn't been long, and he saved the money.

"I have already forgotten about this. Why don't you keep it first? I'm not in a hurry to use money. You keep it and save it for a while, wait until the end of the year to see, marry a wife back to have a good year."

He smiled awkwardly. "Still pay back the money first, save it later, anyway, there is work to do, not afraid of not being able to save money. I heard that you ordered another boat today, thinking you should need money. Although this money is not much for you, you have to pay it back if you borrow it. It happens that you need it now, and it is just right to pay it back."

Ye Yaodong felt a little warm in his heart, quite intentional.

It is really a bad bamboo to produce good shoots.

He took the money and thought in his heart that when the large boat is in hand, if the boats on hand are rented out, Brother Asheng and the eldest cousin must be given a boat each.

They have worked for him for so long, and their character is okay, so he can't let them feel cold.

"Alright, I'll take it first. If you have any needs or difficulties, tell me then."

"Mm, will do."

"Do you have any debts outside?"

"No, no, I only borrowed money from you."

"It's okay, don't be nervous, I just thought, if you owe money outside, why don't you pay back the outside first, it doesn't matter here."

"I don't owe anything outside, what should be paid back has long been paid back, and I don't have any expenses alone."

He took the money and patted his palm. "Mm, debt-free and light."

"Right, then nothing, I'll go first."

"Go, worked for so many days in a row, it happens to be a typhoon day recently, rest well, and have to go to sea after the typhoon passes."

"Good."

After sending the person away, Ye Yaodong was about to take the banknotes to call Aqing to put them away, but heard the cautious shouting behind him, almost scaring him to jump up.

Ye Yaodong patted his chest and turned around. The seven people behind him were all smiling at him.

"Damn, Lin Mu, you bastard! People scaring people, scaring people to death, in the middle of the night, can you not shout so sneakily, and shout behind people, do you want to scare me to death?"

"Uh... we were just afraid of scaring you, so we reminded you in a low voice..."

"Remind your ghost! The soul is almost scared away."

"Dong Ge? Did you do anything guilty?"

Ye Yaodong kicked Wang Guangliang. "You are the one who did something guilty."

Wang Guangliang jumped to the side, dodged, and then giggled. "Hehe, Dong Ge, I brought you yellow eels and loaches."

"Where?"

"Here, a bucket of yellow eels, a bucket of loaches, so many. Let me tell you, we threw a broken ground cage into the river ditch yesterday, and the loaches pulled up today scared people to death, it's full."

"Originally, we took a small hand-held net to fish, but it was too slippery. We fished for a long time and only had a little bit, and we were embarrassed to bring it over. Thinking about catching a little more today, save for two days, save a bucket and send it over."

"Then I found a broken ground cage in the morning, thinking about throwing it down to try, but didn't expect to see it in the evening, there are so many."

Ye Yaodong listened to them one by one, and also stretched his head to look into the bucket. It was dark, and from time to time, it shook two splashes of water. It looked full, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Quite smart, even thought of taking a ground cage to put. These yellow eels also look a lot, hard work."

"No, we have many people, it's like playing, and it's quite interesting."

"Did you keep a little for yourself? I can't eat so much."

"Kept."

"Many thanks."

"No thanks, no thanks, anyway, we are free."

"Very free? Then Wang Guangliang, you two brothers stay up all night tonight. You were tired for a day yesterday, and I didn't have the nerve to call you. My father slept there alone to watch. Then you two go there to watch at night, and then change to the twins tomorrow, taking turns, until it is dried."

Originally, he planned to go to the workshop to sleep at night and watch it by the way. Now that they sent it to the door, let them go.

Wang Guangliang shouted happily: "Good, we'll go there right now."

"Then we'll go back first."

"Wait a minute, I'll empty the bucket for you to take back."

They basically have assigned work now, and they didn't scramble to do it.

Chen Shi was free for several days, but didn't run to him to say anything. If he goes to sea after the typhoon passes, he can take him with his father and let him get familiar with it.

Ye Yaodong put the money in his pocket, carried a bucket in one hand and walked to the courtyard first, and shouted for Lin Xiuqing to come back over the courtyard wall.

When she came in, those few lads just went out.

Lin Xiuqing looked at a bucket of yellow eels and a bucket of loaches and was surprised. "Sent by those few lads? How can you eat so much?"

"You call the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to take a little, and it's almost the same if you divide it. The rest can be put to cook tomorrow. It won't die if you put it for one night."

"Good."

The old lady laughed and immediately went to make a fire. "Stew a few yellow eels tonight to make up for it first."

Ye the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law heard that it was sent by the few lads working in the workshop, and they were not polite.

"These two days, someone in the village said that the person who beat people before must be called by you, saying why did so many seventeen or eighteen-year-old, eighteen or nineteen-year-old lads appear in your house."

"I have to say it must be the old Wang family who started to make trouble again. I heard that the men in their family seem to be almost better, and they can go to the ground, but they are still making trouble with the neighbors. These two days, because the men in the family are all better, they can quarrel more."

Ye Yaodong was a little surprised. "How many days has it been? The feet stepped on nails are not good yet? Not paid?"

"Oh, I heard that injections have been given for several days, but the old Wang family refuses to admit it, just saying they deliberately relied on it, and going for injections is just a show, just not paying a penny."

"What about the rat's wife?"

"I heard that the family sings big plays every day, the old lady cries and shouts all day long that she married a stirrer, and the rat is injured and can't move, and there is no way."

"They are more lively than one family."

The two sisters-in-law said gloatingly.

Lin Xiuqing also added, "Recently, because the large boat went to sea, the village is talking about the large boat, and there is more talk about our family. The affairs of those two families are no longer fresh. Everyone just occasionally mentions a few sentences to watch the fun."

Sure enough, if you want to suppress the current melon, you have to release a fresher big melon.

However, those two people should have tetanus, right? No timely injections, the feet couldn't heal, and they went to see it when they were rotten. I don't know if anyone will die?

Ye the second sister-in-law pouted. "Anyway, there is still trouble, unlucky people do unlucky things."

"Recently, some people said that you ask people from other villages to work, and don't ask people from this village to work, etc. I think it must be the old Wang family talking there." Ye the eldest sister-in-law reminded.

"This is funny. My family's work, who I ask to do it can't be decided by myself? Can't I ask friends to do it? Who doesn't have a few friends? Who stipulates that friends must be from this village? Does everyone not have friends from other villages? Unaccountable."

Ye Yaodong was speechless. Such a small matter of asking people to work can also be said.

Can people from this village not run to other villages to work?

"So, just listen to some words, I didn't tell you, anyway, that family is still quite unlucky." Lin Xiuqing said.

"Then we will go back first, take advantage of the fact that they are all alive, and take them to stew."

"Hey, good, good." ===== CHAPTER 886 =====
