Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Along the way, the two pedaled their bicycles, chasing each other, this time it can be said that silence speaks louder than words.

The two of them didn't force each other, and Father Ye's ears didn't hurt anymore, but the buttocks kept bouncing, so they could only be told to ride slowly.

In the end, no one listened to him, and he was still pedaling fast. He could only hold on to the bottom of the cushion tightly to prevent himself from falling off.

Thanks to the pursuit of the two of them, it took a little over two hours to go, and only an hour and a half to return.

It's just that his old bones are about to be knocked apart.

Father Ye supported his waist, touched his buttocks and watched Ah Guang go back, then looked at Ye Yaodong, "You go back too, next time you two get together, don't call me."

"okay!"

As soon as Ye Yaodong got home, he immediately went back to the room to soak his feet, and called Ah Qing into the room by the way.

"Wife..."

"Don't call me wife, just call me by my name."

Lin Xiuqing still kept the wool in her hand, and sat on the stool opposite the bed without raising her head.

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"I'm just telling you about going to the shipyard this morning, and I didn't ask you for money."

"Then tell me, I'm listening."

Ye Yaodong slammed his lips, thought for a while, and decided first, "After paying 5000 yuan in two days, we should still have 1 yuan, right?"

Lin Xiuqing had an expression I knew, "How much does it cost to order a new boat?"

"It's not necessarily, it's hard to say, it depends on what you want, and he can give you an offer."

"Oh, then you've gone to see it, and you should know how much you want, right?"

"Hehe~ Let me tell you about the situation of the ship in the factory first?"

"you say!"

Ye Yaodong cleared his throat, and told him what he had seen and heard today, and by the way, told her about the situation of the various ships and their corresponding approximate prices.

"Hiss~ so expensive!" Lin Xiuqing was knitting a sweater while listening to him, the iron needles in her hand poked her fingers, and she cried out in pain.

"Ahem, eight or nine thousand is not expensive, and there are more than 1..."

She stared at him for a long time with round eyes, looked at his innocence-pretending and persistent eyes, and then fell silent again.

After thinking about it, she said again: "Isn't it good that we are doing this now? There are probably not many people in the village who are richer than us, and we are still earning money slowly, which is very good and stable. Isn't it?"

"If you want to change to a better, bigger boat, why don't we accumulate it for two or three years before we talk about it? At that time, we can get out ten thousand yuan, and I guess it won't be so distressing."

Ye Yaodong rubbed his feet together, and said seriously: "If you order now, the delivery date will probably be at the end of next year. Didn't I tell you just now? In recent years, everyone's life has become more worry-free, and hardworking people can They all saved some money, and they all want to replace the boat with a bigger one so that they can make more money.”

"I heard that one in our village and one in the neighboring village have already ordered boats, but the delivery date has not yet arrived."

"We don't have to take it out right away, we just pay a 30% deposit first, we don't buy too expensive ones, we should pay 3000 yuan first, and the rest will be paid after delivery. There has been nearly two years That's enough time for us to make money buffer, right?"

Lin Xiuqing also made some calculations in her heart.

Ye Yaodong persisted and continued: "Look, this year I trawled nets, cast longlines, lowered cages, caught squid and jellyfish, and now I've dried the fish, and I've earned less than 2000 intermittently. Let's sell the dried fish later. By the Chinese New Year, I can earn another [-] yuan."

"In this way, don't we have 17000 yuan on hand? We have to pay 5000 yuan for the final payment of the store, and then pay a deposit of 3000 yuan, and we still have 9000 yuan on hand, which is a lot. Everything is enough."

"And there are still two years, we can earn more slowly, right? This year, I earn a small [-]. In the past two years, I can buy two more boats, don't you think so? "

"Buy two more boats? It's a good idea." Lin Xiuqing almost didn't make him laugh. "You have already counted the money you haven't earned yet."

"Isn't this safe and secure? The money for dried fish will be in your hands right away? And I can continue to earn, can't I?"

"You see, it only took us more than a year to start from scratch. We are destined to make a fortune!"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing now, "The God of Wealth belongs to your family, and he is destined to get rich!"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Ye Yaodong was also happy. Judging by his wife's appearance, she should have no objection.

Family and everything prosper, family members can fully support him, of course it is the best, the strength of the whole family can only be prosperous in one place!
"Then you can figure it out. Anyway, it is a property purchase. The boat is the foundation of our fishermen's survival. It is a good thing that you can make money if you buy it."

"The money in our hands is enough, and it's not tight. Don't sell the boat at home, right? It's a pity to sell it properly. You also spent a lot of effort on it."

Lin Xiuqing is just an ordinary woman, she has never imagined being rich and powerful, and all she thinks is that she will be happy if she is a little rich.This is an idea that I only have now. I used to just think about living my life.

Although she is not smart, she also knows that the money in her hands will not increase, as long as she has enough money in her hands to spend, and it seems that A Dong is quite persistent.

On the condition that she has enough money in her hands, she can only support it. After all, he is the head of the family, and many times it has proved that what he is doing is right.

"Not for sale, of course the boat at home is not for sale. I will continue to drive it for another two years. Even if I take over the new boat, this boat can continue to be kept at home to make money. When the time comes, I will see if Dad wants to drive it himself. Or use it directly to collect rent.”

Lin Xiuqing glanced at the wall at this time, and said in a low voice: "If we change to a big ship in two years, and Dad is too old to work and wants to stay at home, it is no problem to help us collect the rent, and we will still count the wages. give him."

"But if he wants to drive by himself, then dad has to take back the boat from the eldest brother and the second brother? Can't he not sail his own boat, put it there to collect rent, and then rent our boat specially?"

"In two years, let's talk about it in two years. It's not clear whether Dad will go to sea with him, but he will definitely not take back the boat from the eldest brother and second brother. That boat is almost equivalent to giving it to the eldest brother and second brother. It is estimated that in another one or two years, father should not even ask for rent anymore."

Lin Xiuqing opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and wanted to say something, but it closed again.

It makes sense to think about it. After another year or two, father will get his own cost back, and he won't be earning his son's money all the time.

Originally, the boat was not very good, it was in tatters, and the money had been paid for too long, which exceeded the original value by too much. The two sister-in-laws probably would have some opinions.

She originally wanted to ask if she would give us another compensation?Are you hesitant to ask?

After thinking about it, she still asked.

Although it's not good to care too much about it, it's not a matter of worrying about it. On the surface, the three brothers should have a bowl of water.

Moreover, they are supporting and respecting the old lady now, how can it be that their family pays more?
Ye Yaodong didn't think there was anything wrong with her asking this.

"Dad mentioned before that we have our own boat, and that boat will almost be opened by the elder brother and the second brother. He will secretly compensate me later. He said so, but I don't care anymore, and I don't expect With his little money, it would be great if he could provide for himself in the old age.”

He added emphatically, "We have a lot of money in our hands. It is several times that of the eldest brother and the second brother's family. They have to share all their earnings. But I keep it all by myself. I only pay my wages to my father."

"And we still have a lot of treasures in our family. Although they will become valuable in the future, they are rare and good things. We have already surpassed them by a lot. Don't worry too much about whether dad will compensate you or not."

Lin Xiuqing pursed her lips, "Well, all right!"

Ye Yaodong was also very satisfied that she didn't talk nonsense.

What the old man wants is the old man's business, as long as he doesn't do too much, he doesn't care.

Just like the old lady, although she favored him to the point of her armpits, she didn't say that she was bad to other children and grandchildren. She would still go to her cousin's house from time to time to take a look and care.

"Then are you going to the shipyard again tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow may not be enough time. I have to collect the dried fish tomorrow. I guess it will take me a long time to work. I have to wait until the delivery of the goods is finished the day after tomorrow. I have more free time before going to chat and discuss specific requirements and things. Only when you understand it can you decide.”

"Ah, yes, some of them should be able to do it tomorrow. Today, I feel that it has dried a lot. It should be ready for collection tomorrow."

"Ah."

"Hurry up and wipe your feet. The water is cold. I'll get you a bowl of noodles to eat. You didn't eat at noon, so you soaked your feet when you came back. I was also called into the room by you and talked for a long time."

Lin Xiuqing put down the wool in hand, and muttered as she walked, "I don't know what's going on, I'm so big, I can ride a bicycle into the ditch, I didn't make your father laugh."

"It's all Aguang's fault, otherwise I definitely wouldn't be able to ride into the ditch."

"Come on, you, you are all out-of-shape people."

As soon as the door creaked and opened, the voice of the old lady outside came immediately.

"After washing your feet, did you say something nice? I have already boiled Liu Liu, so I put it in the pot for fear of making noise when you talk, since it won't swell anyway. Come out and eat while it's hot."

"Hey, here we come."

The old lady even took the pair of woolen slippers she just crocheted today into the house and gave them to Ye Yaodong.

"I just finished washing my feet. It's more comfortable to wear slippers at home. Try to see if the size is good for you?"

Ye Yaodong had already stretched into the liberation shoes, took them out again, and put on slippers, "The size will be suitable, and they will be quite warm."

The old lady smiled kindly, "It's good to be warm, come out and eat noodles, how is the boat looking today?"

"It's pretty good, except that it's a bit expensive, there's nothing wrong with it."

"How much is the difference? If it's not enough, just ask your parents to borrow some. I also have some coffin books..."

"No, it hasn't been settled yet. Once it's settled, you just need to give a deposit first, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Okay, you are promising now, you can figure it out for yourself, just discuss it with Ah Qing, and you can refer to it on your father's side."
