Chapter 1424 Solution
Although it was raining, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people at all.
When the sound of gongs and drums started, not only did the children scream with excitement, but even the adults all stood up from their seats and walked to the windows to watch the fun.
It was the first time for most of them to see such a lively scene, and even the adults started talking about it excitedly.
"Oh, there are so many people..."
"Isn't it? I didn't know there were so many people in the town, more than at the market."
"I can't even squeeze through..."
"It turns out it's really so lively. I didn't go out to see it in the past two years. Everyone said it was so crowded that it was hard to squeeze in. I didn't see anything but people."
"It's convenient to watch from upstairs. You don't have to squeeze in with the crowds downstairs, and you don't have to get wet in the rain..."
"Ah... there's a dragon dance... the dragon dance is coming..."
"And there are also lantern-carrying teams..."
The box was filled with all kinds of chattering from adults and children, and it wasn't just their room, the boxes next door were also filled with people sticking their heads out.
There were heads lying on the windows of every building nearby, and many people had found a good view and were waiting in advance.
"I saw it published in the newspaper two years ago, and I finally saw it this year. It was really lively. The town government organized it very well."
"It shows that our town's economy is doing well and the government still has the funds to hold these events. It also shows that our country is getting better and better."
Director Chen looked at Ye Yaodong with appreciation, "You are right. This also reflects that our country is becoming more and more prosperous and powerful."
"It's raining today, so it should end early, but we're not in a hurry, we'll eat slowly later..."
"No, it's almost time. It's not good to stay outside for too long on a rainy day. Besides, there are several children here. It's getting dark, and the children need to go home early."
Ye Yaodong glanced at the three little ones. Ye Xiaoxi had been scared once before, so he really had to go back early.
"The parade team has left, but there are still a lot of people below. Let's take a break and go back when there are not so many people."
Director Chen nodded, "When are you going away?"
"Seventeen, maybe. My mother said that sixteen is a bad day, and everything will go wrong. Maybe we should leave early on the seventeenth."
Ye Yaodong then told his father, "I wasn't home the past few days, and I didn't inform the workers of the departure time in advance. I have to inform them early tomorrow morning."
"I know. I'll notify them one by one tomorrow morning."
Lin Xiuqing also said: "I have already prepared the food and luggage, but you have to distribute the things on the boat. Everything has been sorted out."
"That's all right. Call the workers to come to work tomorrow and move everything that needs to be moved onto the ship in advance. We can leave early the day after tomorrow."
Director Chen asked curiously, "When will you be back from this trip?"
"I estimate that I will have to come back once every two months to harvest kelp in April and May. The secretary of our village said that they didn't have enough time to count the harvest last year and didn't send me newspapers. This year, they will send me newspapers no matter what, but the prerequisite is that the kelp harvest is good."
"I think I heard you say that."
"Yes, give me a model of getting rich, and set an example for hard-working and down-to-earth fishermen."
"That's not bad."
"Yes, so I have to come back to receive the award. Now I have to pray to the gods and Buddhas for a good harvest this year. Secretary Chen will make achievements and develop our village into a typical wealthy village. Then he will be promoted step by step."
Director Chen nodded, "Yes, the income of the whole village has reached a certain amount, and your per capita income has probably reached the target long ago, and you are already a wealthy village."
Father Ye said proudly: "Dongzi alone has raised the average by a lot."
"Keep a low profile." Ye Yaodong reminded his father with a smile.
"What I mean is that 60 to 70 percent of the people in the village rely on you for their salary, and you have raised the average. In the entire county, no other village has a higher penetration rate of small household appliances than our village."
Ye's mother also said: "Someone in our village bought a color TV a few days ago."
Ye Yaodong asked curiously, "Who is it? You are so rich that you bought a color TV directly."
"Your friend, Zheng."
"Fuck, it's an honor for him."
"A Guang also said he wanted to buy one. It just so happened that he just moved into a new house last year and didn't have a TV at home. He was just in need of a TV, so he just went and bought a color TV."
"That will also give Guang some glory."
Ye Yaodong turned around and saw his mother Ye looking at him expectantly, and his brain waves connected instantly.
"Is it possible to buy one for you, too?"
Mother Ye smiled widely, "Okay, just put it at my place. Otherwise, if you put it here, all the neighbors will have to gather at your house to watch TV, how bad is that? You have a lot of stuff at home, it will be inconvenient to come and go, so just put it at my place, and then you can move it out and put it at the door for everyone to see."
"Are you buying this TV for yourself or to benefit the community?" Ye's father habitually made trouble.
"Of course I watched it by myself, but it didn't affect everyone watching it together. What's the problem? We are all neighbors, it would be so lively if we watched TV together."
"Then wait until tomorrow, after I send my godfather to the city, dad and I will bring back a color TV." Ye Yaodong made the final decision, saving the two old men from another debate.
Mother Ye nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."
Father Ye smiled widely, "So you bought a color TV right away? Your family is still using the black and white one, how about we change it? The color one goes to your house, and the black and white goes to mine?"
"No need, when the time comes each of us can just take one back."
The three little ones' eyes sparkled when they heard this. They hid aside and whispered excitedly, saying that they would also have a color TV at home.
Director Chen smiled and said, "Adong is now wealthy, so this is not a big deal for him."
"Small amounts of money are not bad, but large amounts of money are still bad, otherwise I wouldn't have to leave my hometown and run around to make money."
“That’s much better than most people.”
Lin Xiuqing listened to his final decision and said she would bring back two color TVs the next day without saying anything.
There are many children in the family, so who doesn’t like watching TV? I like to turn on the TV even when eating.
When the weather gets warmer, only the TV can keep them at home, instead of running around outside in the sun.
Everyone chatted in the box again, watching the crowd moving below. They went downstairs only after the crowd had dispersed a little and there were not so many people left.
It was still drizzling underneath and the street vendors had packed up their stalls long ago. Only the onlookers were still enthusiastic and were following the lantern procession.
Ye Yaodong called several rickshaws to accommodate everyone and then took them to the pier.
It's okay to watch the fun, but the weather is bad. It would be more difficult if it rains. He has a family to support, both old and young, which is very troublesome.
After just one time, he made up his mind not to come next year. It was enough to experience the novelty once.
The old lady probably doesn't want to come again. For an old person of her age, it's too much trouble to go out. If she hasn't seen it, it's enough to see it once. There is no need to see it a second time.
As for the children, they have seen all kinds of excitement and can remember them very clearly. It is enough to have the memories. You can take them to see the rest later. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway.
A large group of people, with their families, worked until after 10 o'clock in the evening before they got home. After they finished the work, they arranged for everyone to rest. It was almost 12 o'clock when Lin Xiuqing lay down.
"have you slept?"
"Not yet. I'm waiting for you. I'm so tired. I put the order, contract, and registration form in a locked drawer. I also put the remaining money in the drawer. You can check where to put it and sort it out tomorrow."
"Okay, how much did it cost?"
Ye Yaodong wanted to reach out and hug his wife, but there was a piece of meat stuck in the middle. He had to climb up and move the piece of meat inside while talking.
"About 18. I'll pay half for the car and the other half after delivery. The two plots of land are a bit expensive, but it's definitely worth it. I'll take Ah Hai with me, so he can pay attention to it whenever he's free."
"Well, Ah Hai, there's actually no need to go that far. There are plenty of jobs at home that can make money."
"My elder brother and his wife hope that he can have a promising future and not rely on going out to sea to be a fisherman like them. Let them do what they want. After all, their family has a boat and can make enough money to support themselves. He is only 18 or 19 years old."
"You can get married now, and you won't have children anymore."
"You're crazy. You've just grown up and haven't even had any fun yet, but you're already getting married. Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like you can't find a wife. At your age, you can go out and see more. There's no need to rush around or be locked up at sea just to make a living."
Lin Xiuqing felt that what he said made some sense, so she did not refute it.
With their family background, they can marry any wife they want, and now they don’t even need a letter of introduction when they go out.
"Then it would be fine to stay in the provincial capital for a while. At least it would help me gain some experience."
"Well, let Dad arrange to sort out the things on the ship tomorrow. I will take a few workers to the city and we will get it done tomorrow. I will set off the day after tomorrow morning."
Lin Xiuqing sighed softly, "It feels like it happened so fast. You left after only staying at home for a few days. You said you came back to celebrate the New Year, but you didn't stay at home all the time. You were still running around, staying here for a few days and here for a few days."
"Isn't this too much work? I still have to follow orders and spend money."
"Are you sure you will be back in April or May?"
"About two or three months, enough time for my dad to hand over the work to others, and then help me deliver the goods. Last year, he also took a break for a period of time and helped me deliver the goods. In fact, we are familiar with each other, so it is not difficult for him to take care of it for a while."
"That's good. You don't have to hand it over to others. How can you feel comfortable with such a large sum of money in someone else's hands? Fortunately, you and your father can take turns. The two of you can take turns going home to rest or do things."
"How much money do you have left at home?"
"I collected all the bits and pieces before the New Year, and then you brought a large sum from the city, probably more than one million. Some of the small amounts cannot be calculated, so I can only calculate based on the accounts on the books and give a rough estimate."
"There are so many big and small coins that one person can no longer count them."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Yes."
Ye Yaodong put his hand on her shoulder and patted her lightly a few times, "You have to take care of the house. If you can hire someone to do it, please do it."
"I can hire someone to do the work, but I have to arrange all the things in the city, factory, and workshop. How can I know more about the hired people than I do? I have to do a lot of things myself."
"Fortunately, everything is pretty stable now. At most, I just run back and forth to keep an eye on things. You are already the boss, and I am working for you."
"Don't talk nonsense. It's you who fought so hard to get through this, and I was the one keeping watch over you. Go to bed early. You've been running around outside for almost a week. I guess you can't eat or sleep well."
"Ah."
He had been drowsy for a long time. Being outside was not the main reason for his physical fatigue, but his mental tension. Only after returning home did he feel relaxed.
Holding his wife in his arms, he also felt particularly at ease.
The next morning, he got up immediately when he heard the slightest noise outside. With guests at home, he couldn't sleep in.
But as soon as he stepped out of the house, he felt dizzy.
When did Ye Chenghu become so hardworking? He was actually doing his homework so early in the morning?
No, he should be cramming for the exam. Today is the sixteenth and it’s time to register for school.
At this time, Ye Chengyang came over and muttered, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Yuanxiao Festival, my parents took me to a big restaurant for dinner..."
Ye Chenghu fell to the ground, holding his homework book tightly, his ears turned red.
"What are you doing, go away!"
"Brother, let me see your composition..."
"No, get out!"
"let me see."
"Just die."
"What are you arguing about? It's so early in the morning, it's quiet, everyone else is still sleeping."
Ye Chengyang immediately stopped making any rash moves and whispered, "I'm going to go next door to watch my brother and sister do their homework..."
As soon as Ye Chengyang left, Ye Chenghu breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his pen to continue writing, but a large shadow fell on the desk again.
"...The hotel is so big and beautiful. We are on the upper floor and there are so many people on the road..."
"Dad!" Ye Chenghu was filled with shame and indignation, and he covered his homework book tightly.
"Let me see it. You can't show it to Yangyang. Let your father see it."
"No, go away!"
"Take a look. Don't be so stingy. Let your father learn how to write a short essay too."
Ye Chenghu closed his homework book, grabbed the paper and pen and ran out, "Don't write here, it's annoying."
Lin Xiuqing was serving porridge beside the stove and smiled, "Why are you teasing him? Why don't you just finish writing it for him?"
"I'm not just curious, I want to see what he wrote in his essay."
"What else could it be? It must be the diary entry about watching the Lantern Festival last night. He has finished all other homework except for a short essay, which he left aside on purpose to finish watching the Lantern Festival."
“I’m quite conscious now.”
"Homework is related to his New Year's money, so he doesn't have to do it right before the New Year. Now his attitude towards homework has improved a lot, and practicing calligraphy has formed a good habit."
"Well, I'll buy him a few more calligraphy books when I go to the city today."
"Then I guess he'll wail again."
While they were talking, Ye's father and mother also came over. When Ye's father heard that he had to arrange the fishing boat at home and could not go to the city, he felt regretful.
"This is such a rush..."
"You can't go, but I can. I'll go with Dongzi, and he can take me around." Mother Ye was overjoyed. She looked down at her clothes and shoes and felt that they were suitable for going out.
There were guests at home today, so she specially bought new clothes to wear before going out, and also put on little leather shoes, so that she would look more decent and be able to go out at any time.
"Okay, then mom will come with me, and dad will arrange for workers to do the work at home."
Ye's mother was overjoyed, "Finally it's my turn. You've been the one going here and there every day."
"You want to run around, are you afraid you won't have the chance?"
"That's hard to say. A few years ago, you needed a letter of introduction to go out. Now you don't need a letter of introduction. But there are so many things to do. Can I get away?"
"Then go back and prepare, take what you need, and we'll leave after they come down and eat."
"it is good."
Ye Yaodong asked Lin Xiuqing again, "Do you want to go?"
"I'm not going. You can go. Why should I go? It's not like I haven't been there before. When you're not at home, I have to run to the city every now and then. It's exhausting. I don't want to go."
"it is good."
After they finished their meal and walked towards the dock, the workers were already working on the dock, moving things back and forth.
"Brother Dong..."
"boss……"
Some of the older people who used to call him Adong are now embarrassed to call him Adong out loud, and feel that calling him Adong now has a bit of a missing meaning.
Director Chen stopped and watched the workers moving the goods. He asked curiously, "You have so many workers?"
"This is only half of it, right? There should be another half of the people in the workshop sorting things out."
"Seventy or eighty?"
"It's about the same. After all, there are many ships, and a large ship has more than a dozen people on it."
He pointed at the sea again and said, "Most of them are yours?"
"Almost, more than half. Two very large boats are parked in the town's safe harbor. We will go directly to the town and leave tomorrow."
Director Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are really young and promising. You have achieved so much in just a few years. I think your village will have to rely on you."
Ye's mother said without any modesty, "That's right. Now most of the people in this village have to rely on Dongzi. This is all thanks to you. It's all thanks to you for helping him a few years ago."
"That's nothing. It's just a small favor. It won't affect him at all. Gold will shine wherever it goes. He relies on himself. It has nothing to do with me. I didn't help him at all. He can do it without me."
He pointed at the ships on the sea and said, "Look, these ships, what does any of them have to do with me? They have nothing to do with me. They are all his own efforts."
"With your relationship, it will be much easier for him to do things."
"In the final analysis, it is because he is down-to-earth and develops steadily, instead of taking shortcuts like most young people who aim too high."
Ye's mother was also particularly proud when she told Director Chen that she had given birth to a good child and had raised him well.
"That's why you are called a leader, haha..."
Ye Yaodong went to arrange the fishing boat and also told his father what to do. When he came back, he invited them all on board.
Today is the last day. After seeing the people off, he has to go to the city to buy a color TV before he can come back.
It is indeed very rushed, with things happening one after another. The only time I had a real break was during the rainy days during the New Year. The rest of the time I was running around doing things.
He just told his father to remember to drive the boats to the town to refuel and make some preparations, as he would probably be back by dark.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has just passed, and many fishing boats have gone out to sea one after another. You have to queue up to refuel. If you go there tomorrow, you don’t know how long you have to queue up, which will delay your trip.
Ye Yaodong really felt that he not only needed an accountant, but now he also needed a personal assistant.
If there is anything, just tell them and let them arrange someone to do it. This also saves him from always thinking of something, telling his father, and then asking his father to help do it.
The assistant just needs to follow him and does not need to do anything else but just listen to his instructions.
After a day of running around, he thought about this when he came back, and decided to wait until he got to Zhou City and find a literate worker among the workers.
Unexpectedly, just when the worker was carrying the color TV and walking to the door of the workshop, Pei Dongqing stopped him.
"Brother Dong, can I talk to you?"
Ye Yaodong was puzzled for a moment, and then asked the workers to move one color TV to his home and the other to his father's home.
Since she came to talk to him openly, he had no reason to refuse. After all, she was his friend's sister and had worked in his workshop for two or three years, so she was a veteran.
Although it was dark, they were standing in the light at the door, openly and honestly, so no one would gossip about them.
Pei Dongqing looked at him with concern, lowered his eyelids, took a step back, and said at a distance: "No one will think too much, they will just think I have something to tell you."
Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly, "Haha, what's wrong? What happened?"
"I heard that you need someone who can keep accounts and use an abacus, and want to take him to Zhou City to help you with the accounts?" She raised her head and said.
Ye Yaodong was surprised for a moment, and opened his mouth, "I've found it."
"Outsiders are not as reliable as our own people. Can you trust others to keep the accounts? I can talk to my father and brother and ask them to take me there..."
"Stop, stop, stop, my dear aunt, you are already 24 or 25, hurry up and find someone to marry, and stop making money, because you can never make enough money. If you really go and tell your brother, won't I beat him up? Then I will be more wronged than Dou E."
Ye Yaodong said as he clasped his hands together, bowed twice, and took a step back.
Now he was a little afraid of this little girl.
He wasn't at home, so I thought he had given up.
Although there are not many people as outstanding as him in this area, if we expand the scope, we can still find him.
Although it was normal to like him, since he was rich, famous and good-looking, it would be abnormal not to like him, but he also didn't want to get into trouble for no reason.
Chen Wei’s previous experience is still there.
This is still A Guang’s sister, my God!
He just wanted to stay away.
"I just want to help you. I won't make things difficult for you or ask for anything..."
"No, I'd rather spend some money to hire someone else. Can we avoid suspicion? You've made it difficult for me by saying this. Listen to your father, brother and sister-in-law and find a good person to marry."
As soon as Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he saw Lin Xiuqing walking towards him from a distance. He waved at her as if he had seen a savior.
Lin Xiuqing trotted over with a smile, "What's wrong?"
He pointed at Pei Dongqing and said, "This little girl asked me if I had met any other good young men in my travels. She said she looked down on the ones around our village."
Pei Dongqing blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment, "Then...then I'll go ask my brother."
"Next time I'll ask Hong Wenle if he has any unmarried friends. Are those in town okay?"
She bowed her head, nodded, and ran away.
Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Lin Xiuqing, "Why did you run out?"
"The TV was just delivered to my house, and the worker said Dong Qing wanted to talk to you about something. I thought something was wrong, so I came out to take a look."
"Well, I want to get married. I'm old now, and if I don't get married, people in the village will talk about me. I know a lot of people, so I asked me boldly."
"I really have to get married quickly. People of my age in the village already have two children. But there really aren't many good families around to match me. It's said that rich families marry daughters and poor families marry daughters-in-law. I definitely have to look for someone from a rich family."
"Well, you can look around and see if Hong Wenle has any unmarried friends who are a little better off and would be suitable."
Lin Xiuqing nodded, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it after you leave."
Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief, put his arm around her shoulder and walked towards home.
He was almost killed.
Stop cursing, stop cursing, it will be over in two months
