Chapter 1682 Furniture
Ye Chenghu worked diligently all morning, staying in his office without going anywhere. Anyone who saw him at the door would stop and make a few teasing remarks.
However, no one thought of calling him "Little Ye"; they always called him "Cheng Hu."
It wasn't until Ye Chengjiang and the others woke up, packed their things, and planned to come over to say goodbye before leaving that they left.
He called out "Little Ye" and the finance staff next door heard it. The two finance staff also jokingly called him "Little Ye." Within two hours, the whole factory was calling him "Little Ye."
Ye Chenghu went from being outwardly embarrassed but inwardly delighted to calmly accepting the situation later on, responding immediately whenever someone called him.
After Ye Yaodong handed the work over to Ye Chenghu, he was even more relaxed and carefree, and he wasn't worried about Ye Chenghu making any mistakes.
Anyway, there are designated people for each task. At most, everyone just reports and signs. If Ye Chenghu doesn't understand something, everyone will give him pointers and guide him. It's like learning on the job.
But when I woke up the next day, I still thought about coming over to check if there were any problems, and I ended up calling him "Little Ye".
Ye Yaodong chuckled, walked to the office door and knocked, "Not bad, you've only been here one day and you've already become a general manager?"
Ye Chenghu immediately put his leg off the table, stood up, and chuckled.
"Dad, you're awake..."
"You seem quite relaxed and at ease; you've already taken on the role of the boss."
"No, Dad, I was just bored during my lunch break and looked at the newspaper that was delivered this morning."
"Are you still used to it?"
"Fortunately, everyone tells me about it."
"Okay, have your grandpa and the others left yet?"
"They left not long ago, only about an hour ago. They came to my place before they left and asked me to call home and let them know."
Have you called home yet?
“I hit her, and Mother told me to come back with her and not stay here and get in her way.”
"It's okay, it won't be more than a few days later, just come back with me."
"it is good."
"Have you eaten yet? Want to go together?"
"I have already eaten."
"Then you can stay here. It's not lunchtime, so there's nothing to do. You can go back and take a nap."
"I know, but I'm not sleepy."
"It's up to you then."
Ye Yaodong went to eat first.
Ye Chenghu sat back down in his office, this time not daring to cross his legs, afraid that his father would see him again.
Sure enough, his father came over again half an hour later, watched for a while, told him to do a good job, and then left.
This time, it's unclear whether he's really gone or just pretending. He simply sat on the stool by the door, crossed his legs, and read the newspaper while basking in the sun.
With him around, I'll never miss a phone call in the office again.
Whenever he received a phone call, he would make a note of what he needed to tell his father and then report back to him the next day.
He enjoyed the work for several days, and even when it was time to go home, he was still reluctant to leave.
"Dad, I think working in an office is too comfortable. After the New Year, whenever you come over, I'll come with you as soon as possible and continue working for you."
"Are you addicted to being CEO Ye?"
"hey-hey……"
"Let's go home first. We can talk about things after the New Year. We don't even know when we'll be able to come back up after the New Year."
"Anyway, I'll come up with you whenever you come up."
"Let's go. Take this list and check the number of people. Make sure everyone who's going back has arrived. Once everyone's here, we'll set off."
Ye Chenghu took the list of the last ship carrying people who had come and gone from the ship. Fearing he might forget, he made sure to register all the people who were going back with him and check them before departure. Only when there were no omissions could he leave with peace of mind.
Otherwise, he has too many people on his hands now, and if he leaves someone here, they won't be able to go home for the New Year.
Ye Chenghu took the list and went to check the personnel. This was simple. He called out the names and once everyone was in the list, they could set off for the dock.
Ye Yaodong then made a phone call home to let them know.
The whole family had been eagerly awaiting his return.
The villagers had returned three or four days ago, except for the dozen or so people from his village who hadn't returned yet.
Although I knew he would be a few days late, I was still looking forward to it.
The old lady, in particular, sits at the door every day gazing at the sea, no longer going to the workshop, and doesn't care how strong the wind is or whether the sun is out.
He's always muttering to himself, either chanting Amitabha while holding his prayer beads or wondering why he hasn't come back yet.
Seeing Ye's father made him even more verbose.
Now Ye's father avoids the old lady. Fortunately, he came back and rested for a day. He went to the city with his two brothers, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, and their two sons who came back with them to look at furniture and home appliances.
Even Ye's mother happily went along to pick out furniture.
The new house has been renovated; it's spacious, bright, and has a large area, but it's empty and has nothing there.
Since they're all back, I'll take advantage of their time at home and quickly order the furniture and appliances. If they're in stock, I can bring them back immediately; if not, I'll just have to wait.
But at least if you go to see it sooner and make a reservation earlier, you can bring it back sooner.
They stayed in the city for two days, staying at the fish sauce factory in Dongzi. They went to the department store every day to look around, and after much deliberation, they finally decided on all the home furnishings and appliances.
It's a good thing that Sister-in-law Ye didn't go with them, otherwise watching the two brothers spend money like water would have been heartbreaking.
Ye's mother felt the pinch, but the house was already built and decorated, and all that was missing were the furniture and appliances. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and spend the money.
“This is so much, it must have cost twenty or thirty thousand yuan. You just bought the boat this year and you're having a hard time, so I won't wait for you to pay. I'll give you another 5000 yuan as a subsidy when we get back…”
Ye Yaopeng shook his head and said, "No, this is our way of showing our respect to you. The money for building the house and decorating is the main expense, and Dongzi has already covered those. If we buy furniture and appliances, we can split the cost between the two of us, so it's only 1 yuan each, which is already less than what Dongzi paid."
Ye Yaohua also said, "Yes, you have been subsidizing us brothers for the past few years. This year, you gave each of us 5000 yuan for shipbuilding. We only accepted it because we didn't have the money at the time."
“When Ahai and Chenghe got married, you each gave them 1000 yuan. We’ve already received enough. We’ve made quite a bit of money this year, and we can break even in just two months next year. We have some money now, so we can still afford to buy these furniture and appliances.”
"Yes, please accept it. Consider it a housewarming gift."
Mr. Ye said happily to Mrs. Ye, "Since they want to pay, let them pay. They've earned a lot this year, and they've earned a lot before. Although they haven't broken even yet, they're not far off. Before they came back, Dongzi settled the accounts with them and gave them a large sum of money. They can afford to spend this much."
Ye's mother smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "Of course you don't mind having too much."
"What's wrong with a son showing filial piety to his father? What's wrong with him taking things?"
Ye Yaopeng said, "Let's hurry up and load the available goods onto the tractor, and then we'll take them back directly later."
Ye Yaohua: "We'll talk about the rest after the New Year."
Mr. Ye nodded repeatedly, "Yes, let's move them quickly so we can get home before dark."
Suddenly, Ye's mother thought of something and said to Ye's father, "It would be convenient if you could drive your car back with us now."
“I’d like to, but didn’t you say it was the third year of junior high? There aren’t any good days now, and Dongzi isn’t here, so I don’t know where to go.”
"Then we can only wait for Dongzi to come back. Anyway, there aren't many days left until the third year of junior high. Let's wait another week."
Mr. Ye grinned, "Luckily it was transported to the city, so it'll be much more convenient to drive it home."
"So you're going to drive up there? The road isn't very safe. Your car can't carry many people. It feels a bit dangerous."
"We'll see then. Dongzi said we can also use a ship crane to lift it onto the ship. He said he's bringing back his newly bought Pioneer, which has a spacious deck and a crane with sufficient load capacity."
"Would it be feasible to transport it by boat?"
"Why not? That car was also shipped from elsewhere."
"OK then."
"Dad, let's move first. We can talk about it when we get back."
All five of them were strong laborers, with Ye's mother being an extra one; she was the type of woman who could be used like a man.
The tractor's cargo bed was piled high with furniture and secured with thick ropes. Several men squeezed their way home, as if trying to survive in the cracks between the pieces of furniture.
When they entered the village, it wasn't mealtime yet, but many sharp-eyed people recognized the furniture and excitedly greeted Ye's father and his family.
Mr. Ye, beaming, said, “Yes, the car is full of furniture. My two sons took us to the city to buy it. They said there’s a wider variety of furniture in the city, and houses have already been built there, so if we’re going to buy something, we should buy something nicer.”
"That must cost a lot of money!"
"Your three sons are so filial. They worked together to build you a big house for your retirement."
"Not only that, I heard that A-Dong even bought him a car, and Ye Laosan has already gotten his driver's license."
"Really? You've already passed your driver's test and can drive? You can drive a car?"
Mr. Ye was both proud and happy. "That's right. Dongzi enrolled me in driving school and took me to learn to drive. I got my driver's license in just two months in Shanghai."
Everyone was both envious and jealous.
They've already said all they want to say: they're envious.
"You really bought a car? Why haven't you driven it back yet?"
"Wow, your family is getting more and more prosperous, and you're making more and more money. It's all going to you!"
"It's just about making a living, yet Dongzi still has to support so many people."
After finishing his sentence, Mr. Ye returned to the topic of cars, saying, "The good days will come on the third day of the Lunar New Year. We'll wait until then to drive the car back from the city. We've been busy these past few days since we just got back, so let's buy the furniture today."
"Your family is the best off in the whole village... You're really living a life of great fortune."
"Make way for me, I'll talk to you later, I need to take this truckload of stuff back first."
"There's so much to move, we'll help you."
"That would be great, thank you."
Ye Yaopeng and the other three men also got out of the back of the truck first. Anyway, they were already in the village and only a few steps away from their homes. It was really uncomfortable to be stuck in the truck bed, with no space and being squeezed by furniture.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, everyone is quite idle, and seeing their furniture being brought back, they all rushed to the door to watch the excitement.
