Chapter 1667 Speaking
The announcement was released in advance so that workers who were planning to work could make their plans earlier.
Ye Yaodong doesn't need to worry about this much; he just needs to give instructions and let the appropriate people handle it.
Now that his father has come back to lend a hand, he can relax a bit. He doesn't have to worry about everything at the factory anymore. From now on, he can just focus on collecting debts.
Incidentally, when the fishing boat was about to be delivered, he also made a trip to Shanghai to inspect it in advance and settle the final payment. Then he waited for an auspicious day to bring the workers over to open it.
Choosing an auspicious date is such a professional matter, so of course I had to call his mother back home.
When Ye's mother heard that the largest fishing boat in the entire port was about to be delivered, she was also quite excited.
"How big is 70 meters? How big is over 1000 tons? Isn't that taller than a multi-story building? That's incredible! Wouldn't you have to build a building on the ship?"
"It's not that exaggerated. It's mainly for transporting goods; this is a fresh produce collection ship."
"When are you going to take a picture and bring it back for us to see during the Chinese New Year? A ship that big probably can't even dock."
"Well, it's definitely not going to work out. Let's wait until the date is right, then when it's open, I'll have someone take a group photo of me and bring it back for you guys to see when I come back for the New Year."
"I'll check the almanac for you right now and see the date. I'll hang up now, otherwise I'll take up your phone time."
"Are the kids still at school at this hour? Let the two kids come and answer the phone. I've been so busy shipping orders lately that I haven't had a chance to call home. I haven't heard their voices in a long time."
"As soon as he got back, he dropped his schoolbag and went out. I don't know where he died. I'll go call him."
The old lady added, "Yangyang went to the beach to play soccer, and Xiao Jiu and Xiao Yu took a bunch of dogs to the beach to catch crabs."
"Go to the door and send a child to call them back."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Mother Ye asked excitedly, "Dongzi, your dad called home a while ago, all excited, saying he got his driver's license. So the car you bought for him will be ready soon? When is the order for delivery? Do you want to drive it back?"
"It was supposed to arrive before New Year's Day, but the ships can't reach Zhoushan. They can only transport it to the area around the provincial capital, and then we'll have someone help us drive it into the city. So we can only wait until we come back for the New Year to drive it home."
"That's great. You definitely want to drive your new car to your doorstep in style. I'll arrange a pick-up date for you a little later."
"Row."
“Your dad said the car would cost 10 yuan, and now you’re paying for it again. It’s not good to make you pay for everything, so your dad and I will also contribute something. It’s not much, but it’s a token of our appreciation…”
"No need, do you think I'd be short of your money?"
“Buying this car is a big deal for you, so I should contribute some money. When your older brothers bought their big boats, I gave them 5000 yuan each. Later, when Ahai and Chenghe got married, I gave them 1000 yuan each. And here…”
“You can keep it for your retirement, I don’t need you to give me anything. Besides, this car wasn’t bought for my dad, it was bought for the factory to pick up clients, just to send my dad to learn to drive. After the New Year, I plan to send two more people to learn to drive, so that there are more people who know how to drive, and if anyone is not available, there will be other people who know how to drive.”
"Wasn't it bought for your dad? Yet he keeps saying you bought it for him, and even made him choose, asking him what brand he wanted?"
"That's not wrong. He's still the one driving, so he definitely has to be the one to choose..."
"Is my dad's phone still on? Huff... huff..." Ye Chengyang ran in, panting heavily.
"Yangyang's here. It's your dad calling. Come and answer it," Ye's mother waved to him and handed him the phone. "I'll go back and check the almanac. I'll call you again when I find a good day."
"father……"
"When is winter break?"
"It seems like the final exams are right after New Year's Day, and then we'll have a holiday, which is less than a month long."
"Okay, do well on the exam, and I'll grant you one wish for the New Year."
Ye Chengyang was quite happy. "Really? Anything is fine with me."
"Within my capabilities."
"Then you can definitely do it, Dad."
"What? Have you already made up your mind?"
Ye Yaodong adjusted his posture, leaning back in his chair with a pillow behind his lower back, and crossed his legs on the table, relaxed, ready to have a good chat with the child.
"Hehe, Dad, I want to go to school in Shanghai and keep my older brother company!"
"Haha, are you sure?"
"Yes, that's right. You originally agreed to send me there this year, but then you changed your mind."
"Okay, then if you get good grades and rank in the top five in your class, I'll grant your wish."
"Okay, then I should be able to."
"You seem quite confident?"
"Of course, I ranked in the top ten in my class in the last mock exam. I made a lot of mistakes on questions I shouldn't have gotten wrong. I think if I work hard, I should be able to get in the top five."
"Good luck! If you really get into the top five in the class, I'll give you another reward."
“Okay, okay, Dad, then I’ll come to visit you during my winter vacation, and then come back with you for the New Year.”
"I might not be back so early this year, I might have to stay until the end of the year..."
"It's okay, I'll come back whenever you come back." Ye Chengyang happily lay on the table, one hand twisting the telephone cord.
Don't you miss your mother, or your friends?
"I want both, but I miss you more. You're never home and don't have time to come back, so I can only come to see you when I have a holiday. I can see Mom and my friends every day, but I can only see you after a long time. I really want to go see you."
Ye Chengyang spoke softer and softer.
Ye Yaodong felt a pang of sympathy for his second son. "Good boy, I'll pick you up when you're on vacation. You can keep your brother company then. Do well on your final exams, and I'll give you a reward."
"Good dad."
"It's cold now, so don't stay outside in the cold wind for too long, or you'll catch a cold. Go home as soon as the sun goes down, okay?"
"Okay, if they hadn't called me back to answer the phone, I would have come back too. The sea breeze is so strong at the beach, and the others still want to play more. I'll bring the ball back in a bit."
"Where's my sister? Why didn't we call her back?"
"I don't know, we didn't run that far down. The younger ones were carrying buckets and were a bit far from us. I heard the shouts and ran back."
Ye Chengyang glanced towards the door. "Oh, she's back too. She's running, almost home."
Before Ye Xiaoxi even entered the courtyard, when she was still more than ten meters away, she started calling out, "Second Brother, don't hang up the phone... I'm coming back right away, Second Brother..."
"Dad...do you still have my dad's phone? Second brother?"
"Yes, I'll answer it for you."
Ye Xiaoxi was panting heavily, her head covered in sweat from running in the cold weather, her cheeks flushed.
"Phew~ Dad~ You haven't called home for so many days, phew..."
"Don't sit down and catch your breath. Stand up and catch your breath before you speak."
"Oh, why can't I sit?"
“You just exercised, running so far back, you're out of breath, of course you can't sit down.”
"why?"
"Because it can easily cause dizziness, fainting, and physical damage that can stunt growth, you should stand for a while or walk around after running to catch your breath."
"Oh Dad, you haven't called in so long. You said you would call us after school and let us answer the phone, but you haven't called yet. I miss you."
"I've been too busy lately,"
"I'll come and help you when I'm on vacation, then you won't have to work so hard."
"You? Don't end up needing your second brother's help later, he'll be annoyed to death by that."
"Second brother would never do that."
Ye Chengyang, standing to the side, gave perfunctory replies: "Yes, yes, yes..."
"You should behave yourself and be more obedient. Don't run around outside all the time. You're a girl. Girls should act like girls. Don't run around like boys, going up mountains and down to the sea, your nose all wet and your sleeves stiff from wiping it..."
"I wouldn't be that disgusting. It's DouDou and AYue who have runny noses and stiff sleeves every day."
Have you finished your homework today?
"No, I cook them after dinner. I just caught a lot of fish to cook for my mom. I ran away too fast and didn't bring them back. I wonder if 'Wishing you good fortune' will bring them back?"
"Final exams are coming up soon, so you need to study hard and not just play around. If you do well on the exams, I'll bring you up; if you don't, I won't."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best on the exam. After I finish, I'll come over to your place and help you out."
"Helping is an excuse; earning money is the real goal."
"Hehe, then I'll give you a foot massage."
"You want to earn double? That's incredible! You work during the day and want to work overtime at night?"
"Haha, that's great! How come I didn't think of that? I'll work at the factory for you during the day and give you massages at night, earning double the income."
"It's a beautiful thought."
"Dad, when are you coming back to pick me up?"
"Wait until you finish your final exams, then I'll see your grades and decide whether to pick you up. If you don't do well, don't even think about it, you'll have to eat bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork."
She touched her bottom with one hand and said, "No, Dad, I'm telling you I've lost weight. Everyone says I've lost weight, that I've grown taller, and that I look like a young lady now."
"If a young woman grows up to be as fat as you, she'll never get married."
"I said I've lost weight! Lost weight! Lost weight! I only weigh 60 pounds now."
Is 60 pounds considered thin?
"I've lost 5 pounds."
Ye Chengyang added from the side, "Dad, she took off her cotton-padded coat and shoes before weighing herself. If my mother hadn't stopped her, she would have taken off her sweater too."
Ye Yaodong's smile widened, "Oh, then you should have lost weight, but not 5 pounds, you should have lost 2 pounds."
"You've lost weight."
"Then do well on your exams, and come over for a check-up when winter break starts to see if you've lost weight."
"it is good."
There's no fat person in his family. He's only fat now; he'll lose weight sooner or later.
He's still so young and skinny; they'll have to worry about him when he grows up.
P.S.: Oh no, I won't have time to write this tonight, I'll finish it tomorrow.
