Chapter 1640 Poor Ye Chengyang
Ye Yaodong sighed, "Compared to your father, my father was like a donkey in the production team. No wonder he doesn't want to go to sea anymore."
"Dongzi, that's because you're being immature!" the fat man joked.
"What? Do I need to find myself a few stepmothers? I haven't even found myself a few wives, why would I need to find myself mothers?"
"You can look for someone, why don't you? You're really wasting your face."
"If my face were on your face, your legs would be as stiff as noodles every day, and you'd probably get a sexually transmitted disease!"
"Pah! You jinx!"
……
The group chatted and joked around, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.
After the meal, Ye Yaodong also took them to Heaven on Earth for fun.
It was just a few friends of theirs, and they had a pretty casual time, enjoying the atmosphere in the busiest hall, watching men and women hugging and twirling together, then making various comments and lamenting that they were getting old.
The next day, after everyone woke up naturally, Ye Yaodong got up and accompanied them to the shipyard.
All three people need to book a boat, so they have to visit several places, and it's not something they can decide on just by looking at the options.
I was originally thinking of making a trip to Shanghai to take a look, but then I realized that Zhoushan is more convenient.
If you have some free time, you can check the progress. Going to Shanghai would be too much of a hassle. If you can book here, it's definitely better to book here.
Ye Yaodong only accompanied them on the first day when he had some free time. After that, he let them check it out on their own. Once they were sure they wanted to place an order, he would go and take a look again.
He's quite busy, so it's impossible for him to spend all day with them at the shipyard.
Fortunately, due to the typhoon, they all had to rest, giving them more free time to run around and make their own decisions before placing an order.
The fishing boats returning to port to rest did not affect Ye Yaodong's processing plant's busy work at all; his cold storage stock was enough to last for several days.
Because of the typhoon, all the fishing boats returned to port, and on the day they went to the City Hall to receive the award, everyone was present.
I was initially worried that some fishing boats might be at sea and not all of us would be there, but now we can all take a group photo with our certificates of honor.
They called out names and went up on stage, standing in a neat row. Then they were given corresponding certificates of honor, reward red envelopes, and standard enamel mugs and notebooks.
Ye Yaodong deserves the most credit, so he was the last to go on stage and stood in the very center.
Holding their certificates of honor and awards, everyone looked happily at the camera and took a group photo.
Ye Yaodong got up early in the morning to make himself look handsome, and now he's the most stylish guy in the room.
Most of the fishermen have dark skin. Regardless of age, they all have similarly dark faces, with only minor differences in the number of wrinkles. He takes good care of his sun protection, which makes him stand out from the crowd.
So after the group photo was taken, they took a separate individual photo of him and had him talk about the scene. There were also reporters recording the process.
The others didn't leave immediately; they all watched with curiosity.
After Ye Yaodong finished his presentation, he greeted everyone with a smile, "Comrades, it's rare that everyone is here today, shall we have lunch together? Let's treat it as a victory celebration."
"Sure, no problem, it's lunchtime anyway."
"Sure, sure, let's all go together and split the cost."
"I have no objection. Let's have a meal together. It's fate that we met. I'll pay for the number of my workers."
"That's it!"
Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "Okay, then everyone should calculate the number of people in each family, and I'll have someone call to reserve a table. The staff can come too, it's on me. They've all worked so hard, let's all go eat together."
"Yes, yes, let's all go together, it'll be more lively with more people..."
A group of about 200 people walked together down the street, heading towards the fat man's seafood restaurant.
The fat man received a call the moment they confirmed the number of people, and then immediately went to make the purchases.
With so many people, the walk wasn't that fast, which gave him time to react. However, he was already cursing in his heart: Damn Ye Yaodong, he's making money like crazy with this kind of last-minute arrangement.
Ye Yaodong and his group of ship captains walked together, chatting as they went. These days, anyone who can go to the deep sea is someone with real power. Expanding their network and building good relationships is never a bad thing.
Ye's father was in his office, sighing as he tried to read the newspaper.
Oh my god, I work during the day and go to school at night. I can't even spare a little free time to slack off; I have to read newspapers and learn to read.
Ah, I really can't concentrate on reading this. Ye's father rolled up the newspaper into a ball, stood up, and put it behind his back, preparing to inspect the workshop and try to make his presence felt.
"Mr. Ye..."
"Mr. Ye..."
Ye Xiaoxi saw her grandfather walking over and called out loudly, "President Ye!"
Although Pei Yu was a little curious as to why he didn't call him "Grandpa," he quickly followed suit, saying, "President Ye!"
The staff around them couldn't help but laugh as they watched.
Ye Chengyang felt so embarrassed that his scalp tingled. He couldn't help but twitch his lips. "You can shout all you want, but can you not shout so loudly?"
"Why? Brother Jiang said we have to use our job titles at work! Do you not want to use them, or are you just not happy about it?"
Ye Chengyang clenched his fist and wanted to punch her.
"He did it on purpose."
“I didn’t shout it wrong, everyone shouts it like that, so let’s shout it like that too.” After saying that, Ye Xiaoxi looked at her father who had walked up to her and shouted it again.
Mr. Ye chuckled, “Are you tired today? You look energetic and full of drive.”
She immediately deflated, "It's so tiring. Making money is so hard. I have to stay here all day long and I can't even go out to play. At least when I'm studying or in class, I can go out and play for a while. But I don't have that when I'm working."
"That's why you should study hard. Studying is the greatest happiness. You feel tired working in your own factory, and it will be even more tiring working for someone else."
"Sigh, making money is so hard."
"Don't sigh, little kid."
"Oh, thankfully I didn't spend money recklessly; I saved it all."
Ye Chengyang couldn't help but say, "That's because you spend all of my and my brother's money. You beg us to buy you whatever you want to eat! You drag us to buy things after school."
"Because you are the older brothers, that's why I looked for you, not anyone else."
Ye Chengyang rolled his eyes. So he should thank him? What a terrible fool!
"You can find someone else."
“Others aren’t stupid.” Ye Xiaoxi chuckled.
"I'm stupid!"
Father Ye watched the two siblings bickering with a smile, then turned to look at Pei Yu.
"Are you used to this job? If you can't stand it, go back and have some fun. Don't stay here all the time."
"What if I don't stay here and still get paid?"
"That's not the case."
She quickly shook her head, "Then I won't leave!"
Ye Xiaoxi added, "If you make up for our lost wages, we won't come!"
Ye's father tapped her on the head with the newspaper in his hand, "Dream on, you've got your eyes on my life savings."
Ye Xiaoxi clung to his arm and said coquettishly, "Anyway, you definitely won't be able to spend it all. If the landlady finds out when we get back, you're doomed."
"Whose boss is she?"
"Huh? There are so many boss ladies? Wahaha? You're doomed!"
Mr. Ye was taken aback by her words. "No, who is this proprietress you're talking about?"
"Damn it, you don't even know which boss lady she is!"
"No, you silly girl, are you talking about your mother or your grandmother?"
"Come on, everyone in the factory calls her Grandma, the boss's wife. Of course she's Grandma. You can't even tell the difference?"
"How am I supposed to divide it? Your dad's the boss, so isn't your mom the boss's wife?"
"Dad said, the boss's wife is the boss's mother."
"Then let me ask you, what do other people call your mother?"
Ye Xiaoxi replied naturally, "Ah Qing!"
Mr. Ye was speechless for a moment.
Ye Chengyang and Pei Yu chuckled to themselves.
Ye Xiaoxi continued, "You're finished! You don't even know my grandma is the boss's wife, and you're asking me which one is the boss's wife!"
"Stop messing around, get to work and do your job properly, or I'll dock your pay."
"You're the one who came to talk to me, you should have your salary docked!"
"Look how capable you are, you can really talk a lot with that little mouth."
She tossed her head triumphantly, "That way it won't be boring!"
Father Ye shook his head and continued his inspection of the area.
Ye Chengyang asked her curiously, "Dad is the boss, but he doesn't call Mom 'Boss's Wife'. Instead, he calls her 'Grandma Boss's Wife.' So, besides calling Mom by her name, what else can everyone call her?"
Ye Xiaoxi was a little confused and didn't understand what "boss lady" meant.
She stared at him blankly.
Ye Chengyang had no choice but to say again, "We can't keep calling our mother by her name. We need to have a proper name for her. So what should we call her?"
"I don't know, how would I know? Ask them, I'll just call them whatever the older brothers and uncles call me."
Ye Chengyang said irritably, "You were so confident just now, I thought you knew something."
"I do know, her name is A-Qing, but didn't you say that besides her name, I don't know anything else? I haven't heard anyone else call her that. You should ask other people."
"Let's get to work..."
He felt powerless.
Taking care of children is much more tiring than going to work...
"I understand, you can call her 'Boss Lady'~"
"...You should get to work, talk less and do more."
Pei Yu looked at him curiously, "Cousin, what should we call our third aunt?"
Exhausted, Ye Chengyang said weakly, "Auntie! Just call me Auntie! Is that alright? Is that okay? Stop asking, I was wrong, let's get to work!"
"Oh, can't I also call her 'Boss Lady'?"
"Sure! Call me whatever you want! Don't ask me!"
Why ask him to take care of the children, and two of them at that?
He already has two children to support, why can't we give him a raise?
They actually got the same thing as them!!!
Ye Xiaoxi was idly busy with her work, her eyes darting around, looking everywhere. Suddenly, she looked at the back door and her eyes lit up.
"Cousins! Brothers and sisters, look, our two younger cousins are waiting for us to get off work at the door!"
When Ye Chengyang turned his head, he felt as if the sky was about to fall.
Two more!
Why did you bring it again?
Since Pei Yu started working here, he not only has to take care of two people, but sometimes he has to take care of four!
It was alright when her aunt was there; she brought two people to pick Pei Yu up from get off work.
If my uncle-in-law brings them over, we're doomed. My twin cousins can just run around in the factory and disappear. I won't know where to find my uncle-in-law to get the kids back.
Recently, due to the typhoon, we haven't been able to go out to sea. My uncle and two others have been coming to pick us up, then dumping us at the factory, and we don't even know where we are anymore.
He was already quite shaken by bringing four people with him.
"Second Brother, what time is it? Is it almost time to get off work?"
Ye Chengyang glanced at his watch and breathed a sigh of relief. "One hour and a half left!"
It's still early. Maybe my uncle will come to pick him up after he gets off work.
"Ah~ it's still so long."
"You can leave work early and have some of your salary deducted. Anyway, you earn a lot, so it doesn't matter if a little is deducted."
"That won't do! There's a bonus for perfect attendance!"
Normal hours are hard to pass, but the time nearing the end of the workday feels even longer.
The three siblings stared at the door for 50 seconds out of every minute. Two of them were looking forward to getting off work and going out to play, while the third hoped that someone would take the two younger ones away.
Otherwise, the heavy burden will fall on his shoulders again after get off work.
Time passed by, minute by minute, until the bell rang to signal the end of the workday. The two girls immediately took off their gloves and rushed to the door with cheers.
"Cousin, why are you here so early again?"
Pei Zuo: "My dad had something to do, so he told us to play here and wait for my sister to get off work. He'll pick us up a little later."
The other one nodded repeatedly.
Ye Xiaoxi turned to look at Ye Chengyang, who was still dawdling, "Second Brother, hurry up, it's time to get off work!"
Ye Chengyang replied slowly as usual, "I understand."
Pei Zuo: "Cousin, hurry up!"
Pei You: "Cousin, hurry up, we want to go buy popsicles."
He knew it.
Ye Xiaoxi: "I want to eat it too, I want some too."
Pei Yuzhi nodded in agreement.
It was 5 o'clock, and the sun was still scorching. Ye Chengyang didn't want to be in the sun; he just wanted to quickly take them to buy what they needed and then lead them to their dormitory.
"Then let's hurry up."
"You've been dawdling for ages! We've been waiting for you!"
After saying this, Ye Xiaoxi quickly ran towards the cafeteria.
Three little tails followed behind, running and shouting "Wait!"
Seeing that they had all run away, Ye Chengyang jogged after them.
That's enough! I don't even know if I'll have half a month's salary left after earning a month's salary...
"Did your father say when he's coming to pick you up?"
The twins licked their popsicles, looked at him innocently, and then shook their heads in unison.
Did he say he'd take you home for dinner?
The two shook their heads again.
"Did they not say anything, or did they not come home for dinner?"
He had to hurry up and take his grandfather there, otherwise what if his grandfather slipped away later?
"I don't know, my dad didn't say."
"Where's your mother?"
"My mother is sleeping."
Impressed!
"You two eat faster, don't just lick the top, lick the bottom too..."
"Look at the dripping mess... look at your hands, they're covered in it..."
"Oh...it's dripping on your collar, dripping on your clothes. I told you, you have to lick down there too..."
Ye Chengyang walked beside the two twins like a mother hen, worrying about them as they ate, getting their hands and clothes all over their faces.
He's just a child too...
"Hurry up, it's so hot and annoying..."
In his haste, Pei Zuo bit off a piece of his popsicle and dropped it on the ground.
He quickly picked it up, blew on it three times, and then put it in his mouth, not giving anyone time to react.
Pei You explained, "If it falls on the ground for no more than three seconds, just pick it up and blow on it three times!"
Ye Chengyang: "..."
P.S.: I'm experiencing writer's block, so I'll be posting less today and avoiding staying up late.
