Chapter 1200 Exchange money

Their eyes lit up when they heard it.

"Then I'll jump too."

It's worth tens of thousands of dollars. It's really valuable.

Ye Yaodong said to Ah Zheng angrily, "Your life is worth more than others for no reason? 1 yuan can buy all of your lives."

"You can't say that. Eighty thousand dollars would bankrupt other people, but it's just a drop in the bucket for you."

"roll."

"When I jump, I will swim to the shore and go out to play for ten days, half a month, or a month, and then come back. I will have money and I will still be alive. My family will still worship me like an ancestor."

"That's a nice thought. Go, get down now. If you don't jump, I'll throw you down."

Ah Zheng quickly dodged backwards, "You must be kidding. If you jump down in this cold weather, you'll be skinned alive if you don't die."

"Hurry up and sign your names. This way, I won't be afraid if you fall into the sea."

Ah Guang said gloomily, "What bad luck! It's New Year's Day, can't you think of something good?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not the New Year yet, just prepare for the worst."

"Are you lucky enough to have brought you all here? Dongzi, you still have to thank me."

"What do you mean?"

"Then there will be more people to rescue me, and you can pay less. How about you pay a little now? Then I can give you a discount?"

"Go die, this can also be used to advance consumption, why don't you just die."

"Give me the money and I'll die."

Ye Yaodong was too lazy to pay attention to them. "Behave yourself, don't run around, and pee directly on the deck, don't go to the edge. There are not enough beds, so squeeze in."

After he had driven them all to the cabin, he went to the cockpit.

He did not call Fang Jingfu in advance, so when he arrived he found nothing. Fortunately, the workshop was still there and the people were still working at his house.

He let others arrange their own accommodation while he went out to find a temporary place to make a phone call.

Fortunately, it was not dark when we arrived, and we could still find a place to make a phone call.

Then I chatted with the twins and talked about what had been going on in the workshop recently.

Everyone else pricked up their ears to listen, but they only half understood and were too lazy to listen anymore.

After receiving the news, Fang Jingfu rushed over without stopping. They were still having dinner.

They started talking after dinner. Because they were not notified in advance, they had to reconcile the accounts together tomorrow to see whether the accounts had been brought or not.

Ye Yaodong didn't care. He had originally planned to stay for another day tomorrow. It would only take half a day to check the accounts.

That night they only talked about the new construction site and the arrangements after it was completed.

Fang Jingfu also said that he used the money he earned recently to order several machines for producing spare parts.

We also gave the lighter a name and asked someone to make a blueprint for the trademark. When the time comes, we will print it on each production line to make it appear more formal.

In this way, pirated products are no match for theirs, and they can also have a branding effect. This was also what Ye Yaodong suggested when he came back last time.

"What's the name of the lighter? What's the name of the factory?"

"Damn it, I get angry just talking about this. You got a huge advantage."

Ye Yaodong was a little puzzled, "How did I take advantage of you? I didn't care about anything. I don't even know the name of the future lighter factory."

"That's why I'm angry. You have a good name, Ye Yaodong. You don't even know how good your name 'Dong' is."

"How good is it? I know my name is good. When I was born, the sun was rising in the east!"

"I was thinking of combining the names of our three partners into a brand name, but my brother's name is not suitable, Fang Jingping, the "Ping" is not suitable. Your "Dong" is very suitable, and it is suitable to be put in the front. You have got a great advantage. I asked a fortune teller to tell me that it is better to use the word "Dong"..."

Ye Yaodong listened to him talk carefully before he roughly understood.

"So it's called Dongfu?"

"Yes, it's called Dongfu Lighter. Don't you think I got you a great bargain? I asked my husband to help me check it out. Fudong doesn't sound as good as Dongfu. I'm at a big loss..."

Ye Yaodong grinned, "Thank you, brother. It doesn't matter what your name is. I wish our friendship will last forever and we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"Who says names are unimportant? Of course names are important. They are related to our fortunes. Only a good name can make a lot of money."

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is true. Let me tell you, my fish sauce is just like Dongsheng fish sauce, my shop is also called Dongshengji, and my boat is called Dongshenghao. Nothing will go wrong if it has the word 'Dong' in it."

“Don’t flatter yourself. It’s better to have the word ‘福’ in your name. Only when you are full of blessings can you have good luck.”

"Yes, let us combine our strengths..."

"Let me show you the logo I asked someone to design..."

After chatting until midnight that day, they went to the construction site the next day to check on the progress. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to move in in another two months.

Ye Yaodong looked at the spacious open space and felt that he had a bright future.

After returning home, they continued to reconcile the accounts.

As for the other people he brought, he asked A Guang to take them out for a walk.

This time, the boatmen were reluctant to stay in the house and do handicrafts to earn money. It was a rare trip, and they wanted to take the opportunity to bring some local specialties back for the New Year.

He was the only one left at home to reconcile the accounts with Fang Jingfu.

The accounts are very clear, with records of every order, including the date, order amount, and transaction date.

Then there is also a delivery order for the goods to be shipped to other workshops, which includes the number of spare parts, the order quantity, the delivery date, and the signature of the recipient.

There are inflows and outflows. The largest amounts listed above are actually the money Fang Jingfu paid for ordering machines, as well as the money for buying land and giving gifts.

There are also orders for machines, with the deposit and final payment clearly written out. Those without orders are for those who bought land or gave them as gifts.

There is no way to delve into this, and Fang Jingfu mentioned it when I came here last time.

"So the money you earned during this period was used to order the machine?"

"There is still some money left. We have ordered enough machines, and the wages and material fees at the construction site have all been paid. We can use this period of time as a buffer and accumulate some money. After paying the balance of the machines, we will have money to share."

"Really? I think you're more capable than me. It's been three months, after all. I really don't have any profit left. I invested it all in you."

He chuckled, "There's still a little left. If you spend it now, you won't have to spend a lot in the future. Then just sit back and wait for the money to come in. There's still six or seven thousand on the books. If you want to share it, you can."

"Forget it. I'm not that poor. What's the point of sharing this little money? You still have to keep some to pay the workers. Dozens of people are still working there. They have to start working again after the New Year, so they have to keep some operating funds."

"Well, if the price goes up after the New Year, we'll have money soon."

"Okay, once the accounts are settled, it'll be fine. No matter if there's money to be shared or not, the accounts have to be settled so that we can do business next year."

"When are you going back? Should I buy you some local specialties to bring back?"

"That's fine. Can you please place another order for me, for 1 pieces? There's no price increase before the New Year, right?"

"You really know how to take advantage of loopholes."

"Ha ha……"

Ye Yaodong and Fang Jingfu finished their conversation before walking out. They had lunch and then went shopping together.

When he came, he also brought some local specialties from home for Fang Jingfu.

Now Fang Jingfu was sensible enough to buy him some local specialties as a return gift. As the saying goes, Ye Yaodong would not refuse.

In the afternoon, he also took time to visit Zeng Weimin and presented him with the New Year gifts he had prepared.

Fang Jingfu followed him throughout the whole process and knew that he was very capable of doing things, very good at climbing up the ladder, and very eloquent. After they came out, he kept praising him for his abilities.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said nothing.

Anyway, I understand everything.

In the evening, they packed up all the things they bought, and then Fang Jingfu politely invited everyone brought by Ye Yaodong to dinner.

In the early morning of the next day, they boarded the ship for the return journey with the things they had bought.

Everyone came prepared and bought nothing less.

Everyone has earned a lot of money this year, so they don’t feel bad about spending it.

Even the boatmen are willing to spend money. It is a rare opportunity to celebrate the New Year, so in the past they were reluctant to spend this or that. But when the New Year comes, they are willing to spend everything. They save from the beginning of the year to the end of the year and make a one-time revenge purchase.

And if you tell others that you brought something back from other provinces, it will give you more face.

No matter whether the item is good or bad, the farther away you go, the harder it is to bring it back, and the more bragging rights you have for getting it.

After wandering around for a long time, it was already the afternoon of the 27th when we got home. It was a rare occasion for everyone to come back from other provinces, so everyone was very high-profile and had already shown off at the dock.

When I return to the village, I tell everyone I meet about where I have been in the past two days and what I have bought, feeling very proud of myself.

When Ye Yaodong returned home, he saw his two sons full of energy again. However, they seemed particularly obedient after being beaten.

Looking at the things he brought back, she wanted them but didn't dare to take them. She kept stealing glances at him with her little eyes, and then asked when their adults finished talking.

"Dad, is this for us?"

"Dad, do we have a share this time?"

Ye Yaodong waved his hand and said, "Take it and divide it among yourselves. Don't bully your sister."

Ye Chengyang muttered softly, "She has more than anyone else..."

"Everyone knows that everything pink and red is hers. Everything girls have is hers."

"That's right, we have to share the rest with her..."

Ye Yaodong glanced at the two of them, and they immediately stopped talking.

"Sister, this is for you..."

"Sister, this is yours too..."

"Promising..." Ye Yaodong said in a low voice and continued chatting with Lin Xiuqing about the factory over there.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "We should just call it Dongsheng Lighter Factory."

"You wish. My name being first is depressing enough. Fortunately, he is broad-minded and doesn't care. He just goes with whichever the fortune teller says is better."

"I didn't expect that people there also believe in fortune-telling and would ask fortune-tellers to do it for them."

"It's all the same. If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. It's all for the sake of good luck."

"I don't know what time you'll be back, and I didn't leave any food for you. What do you want to eat?"

"I brought some local specialties. Fang Jingfu bought me a bunch of them and said that the noodles were called meat noodles, which are made of meat. Can you cook some meat noodles for me?"

Lin Xiuqing also looked through the things he brought back, and saw the brown strips. She grabbed a handful and became curious.

"Meat can be used to make noodles? How do you do that?"

"It's the same cooking method, just add some seafood, some vegetables, and fry an egg. He said the most important thing is to add a handful of coriander, which makes it taste better."

"I see. We usually put celery in our noodles. I'll try putting coriander in yours."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong felt that the taste of this meat noodle was a bit special. It didn’t taste like noodles, but actually tasted a bit like meat. Sometimes he could even bite through the tendons, making it feel more chewy.

He also fed Lin Xiuqing a bite, "Is it delicious? Have another bite, open your mouth... and some soup..."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Ye Chenghu clicked his tongue a few times, then nudged Ye Chengyang with his elbow, motioning him to look over there as well.

Ye Chengyang turned around and saw the unfriendly looks from his parents. He quickly covered his eyes with his hands, turned his head away, and ran away with the toy in his arms.

Ye Chenghu watched his movements and felt that he seemed a little conspicuous, so he quickly ran away with his share.

Ye Xiaoxi didn't know what was going on. He watched them run away one by one. He looked up at his parents, confused, and then lowered his head to fiddle with his toys.

"He was so disrespectful, and he looked honest when we first met, but it turned out to be all fake."

"I've been so nervous these past two days, and when I saw that they had their share last night, I got a little carried away. Don't buy any next time. They have so many toys, and there are so many children who don't even have a decent pencil, but they still have toys."

"You're right. I'll buy some pencils and erasers in a while and send them to the school. When school starts, the teachers will give them to the children. It will be considered a good deed."

"That's fine. Good students will be rewarded, and average students will also be encouraged."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong no longer shows his affection. The rare warm atmosphere where he and his wife were so affectionate was ruined by something that ruined the mood.

The children at home are not beaten enough. If they are not beaten for three days, they will fall off the roof.

He ate all the remaining noodles and soup before saying, "Let's go back to the house and sort out the coins at home so we can exchange them at the bank tomorrow."

"You go first, I'll wash the dishes first."

"Then get me some water to wash my feet."

"understood."

Ye Yaodong let Ye Xiaoxi squat on the ground and play while he went back to the house.

He was too tired. Driving the boat was very tiring, and the high-intensity trips back and forth made him want to lie down on the bed immediately.

As soon as he took off his coat and pants, he lay down on the bed. He didn't wash his feet, but he didn't lift them onto the bed.

After a while, he fell asleep comfortably on the soft bed.

As soon as Lin Xiuqing brought him hot water into the room, she saw that he had fallen asleep, with his stinky feet in socks still on the ground, and the room was filled with a foul stink.

She frowned, shook her head helplessly, went forward to take off his socks, rolled up the legs of his long johns, let his feet soak in warm water, took his socks outside the door, and then came in to wash his feet.

"Are you so tired? If I had known, I would have rested at home for two days before going, and slept as soon as I got back..."

"Just now I wanted to stew ginseng for you to eat before going to bed. You haven't even taken the supplements I bought that day..."

She muttered softly while rubbing his feet. After wiping them clean, she helped him to the bed, pulled down his trouser legs, and covered him with the quilt.

"Your hair is so dirty, and your pillow has turned yellow from all the sleeping... You went to bed without washing your hair..."

Ye Yaodong was half asleep and half awake. Listening to her muttering, he pulled the quilt over his head and turned over to face inside.

Lin Xiuqing was worried that the coins would make too much noise if they were moved around, so seeing that he was asleep she didn't try to take them out. She planned to wait until the next morning to take them out and sort them out, so that he could get a good night's sleep first.

Ye Yaodong did feel a little tired. Being on the run all the time was not necessarily physically tiring, but more mentally tiring. There was no better harbor than home, no place more suitable for rest.

He went to bed early at night and woke up refreshed the next morning.

Looking at the two sleeping faces, one big and one small, beside him, he kissed one and the other with his unbrushed mouth.

When you are well fed and warm, you will think about sexual desire. When you have had enough sleep and feel energetic, you will also think about sexual desire.

Lin Xiuqing was also awakened by the noise of his movements.

"Are you awake so early?"

"Ah."

“What time does the bank open?”

"8:30, right? It's only 6:30 now, it's very early."

"Then get up when you wake up..."

"It's a rare opportunity to rest, lie down for a while, the bed is so warm. It's too cold this early in the morning, and the sun hasn't even come out yet."

Lin Xiuqing slapped his hand away, "How could I not know what you want to do?"

The two of them dawdled until 7:, when Ye Xiaoxi suddenly woke up and sat up, then they separated as if nothing had happened.

Ye Yaodong put on his pants in bed before getting up, getting dressed and going out.

The couple pretended nothing had happened and started a new morning.

After breakfast, they went into the house and took out several large jars of coins that were stored at home. They were so full that they filled up an entire table.

Lin Xiuqing also held a can in her arms, "Do you want to keep some?"

"No need to keep them. Don't we have the banknotes tied up with rubber bands? Take them all and exchange them for some new change."

Her eyes lit up, "Yes, we can exchange the old ones for new ones, then I'll take out all the banknotes."

"Just take a few cents and Mao notes to exchange. After counting the number, change them all to the Great Unity, leaving one or two hundred yuan to exchange for new banknotes."

"Okay, then go out and get a sack. Otherwise, it will be hard to pack all these cans in a sack so they won't be noticeable."

"it is good."

They used the leftover malted milk cans to store the coins. Every month, the three children in the family would drink two or three cans. Each can was 800 grams, so it was a pretty big can.

At this time, there were 10 pieces on the table. Those that were not enough were stacked up. They were filled with one, two, five cents, 1 cents, 2 cents, and 5 cents, all of which were brought back from Lin's father after he settled the accounts in the past two years.

Start with a little bit and accumulate into several cans.

They started talking about taking it to the bank to exchange it last year, and had been talking about it until this year, but only decided to take action now that the New Year is almost here.

There were quite a few Mao Zedong banknotes. Lin Xiuqing also took out four jars, which contained bundles of banknotes of varying amounts, but they were all well sorted.

The portion is not heavy, just a light can.

Ye Yaodong came in and took a look, then felt that one snakeskin bag was not enough, so he went out and got another one.

"Why are there so many? They are all small change."

"Why don't you tell me how many years it has accumulated? Pack it up and carry it out. Carry one bag for me."

"Wait for me to come."

Lin Xiuqing had already carried it on her back. "Why is it so precious? This little weight is nothing. I used to carry grain and loads on my shoulders."

Ye Yaodong shut up immediately.

If he spoke again, he would probably have to lift what he couldn't lift with his hands or carry on his shoulders.

"How are we going to get there?"

"I ride a motorcycle so that the people at the bank won't look down on me."

"Oh, it's still like this."

"Do you think they would be happy to work with two sacks of sacks of sacks? They just say they don't have time and send you back, and you have no way to deal with it."

"That's right. It will probably take most of the day to count these."

"Well, people are snobbish. They respect Luo Shan first and then respect others."

"Then put it in the truck bed."

There were a few dogs huddled in the truck bed. Ye Yaodong took the sack off his shoulder and swung it at them one by one before he drove them down.

"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have crushed you to death and we would have had dog meat to eat during the Chinese New Year."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and put her own on it as well. Worried that it might be unstable, she tied it up with a rope.

After the three little ones in the family got their new toys yesterday, they couldn’t help but share them with everyone today, so they didn’t know that the couple was going out for a motorcycle ride.

It was only when the motorcycle passed through the village that they reacted and started chasing after it, shouting. However, they failed to catch up and stamped their feet in anger.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing went there at the time when the bank opened.

The Post and Telecommunications Bureau is a quiet office these days, with not much deposit or loan business, but its electricity business is quite busy.

So when the two of them parked the motorcycle at the door, they had already attracted the attention of the staff inside, and they all ran out to see in surprise.

Although there are one or two in the town, they are rare, and they are sidecars.

"Comrade, are you two here at the Post Office to do some business?"

The two men saw that Ye Yaodong was dressed decently and did not look like a country boy at all. He also rode a motorcycle, so their attitude was particularly nice.

Ye Yaodong helped Lin Xiuqing down with a smile, "Yes, we are here to exchange money. I wonder if you are busy? Is it working hours now?"

They both nodded with a smile, "We are not busy. We are serving the people anyway."

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

Ye Yaodong told the guys who followed him to keep an eye on the motorcycle, and then he carried two sacks of cans in and went in. After a while, the two bank employees' faces turned green.

"This... all of these need to be changed?"

"Yes, thank you for bothering me, comrades. Fortunately, you are not busy. If you were busy, I would not have the nerve to change so much."

The two looked at each other, both wanting to slap themselves in the face.

"Comrade, this is too much..."

"It's a bit much. I earned all my money through hard work, so I have accumulated so much. I thought I would just change it to a larger amount, so it doesn't take up space."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you two comrades. I don't know if we can help you count the items, or you have to count them yourself. If you have to count them yourself, then... thank you for your hard work..."

He kept it a secret for a while, making people expect him to say forget it, but he actually said thank you for your hard work.

"We have to order this ourselves."

"Why don't you exchange half of it first? You have too much change."

"That's fine. Just order as much as you can before you get off work today. Thank you for your hard work in serving the people."

He looked at the names on their work badges again and reached out to take a look. "Comrade Xu, Comrade Jin, you work diligently and should be rated as advanced, right? I will definitely give you a high praise."

The two looked embarrassed and had no choice but to squat down and count the items.

Lin Xiuqing watched him do mischief with a smile.

Ye Yaodong pulled her over to sit on a chair next to him, and watched the two staff members squatting on the ground sighing as they opened all the jars and then picked out the banknotes to count first.

And I also heard them whispering that they should count the banknotes first to free up the container so that they can put the remaining coins in, one bucket per person...

Lin Xiuqing was afraid of disturbing them from counting the money so she whispered, "How long will they finish counting?"

"If I don't make any mistakes and start over, I should be able to finish counting before leaving get off work at noon..."

Among them, a male staff member named Jin paused for a moment and his face turned ugly instantly.

Ye Yaodong watched him turn over the banknotes in his hand and start counting them one by one from the beginning.

The couple looked at each other, and then made a gesture with their mouths at the same time, "Shh..."

The two of them sat there leisurely with their legs crossed, looking at the two people squatting on the ground and counting non-stop.

After counting the banknotes, they took a piece of paper and wrote the number on it, then put it in a rubber band, put it aside and continued counting the coins.

The noise of the coins was louder, so they had to count more carefully to avoid making a mistake and having to start over.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the two people on the ground who were concentrating on counting. They had changed from squatting to sitting, and then from sitting cross-legged to sitting with their legs apart. They had no image at all.

Ye Yaodong's sitting posture changed from being upright to slumping, with his legs spread apart and his buttocks almost under the stool, and it was only half an hour.

"It would be nice to have a sofa."

The staff member named Jin paused again, then looked at the ceiling with empty eyes, then lowered his head and put the coins he had just counted into a pile together again.

Fortunately, they did not count from the beginning to the end. When they counted to 50, they put them into one pile, and then made two more piles to make 100, so as to avoid counting wrongly and having to start over.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the man's actions, held back her laughter, patted him on the shoulder, and made a hushing gesture with her index finger.

Ye Yaodong also smiled and dared not speak any more.

But after a long time, he couldn't hold it in any longer, and the sound of dogs barking outside could be heard from time to time. Although he knew nothing would happen, he still wanted to go out and take a look.

"How about I go out and take a look? My legs are numb from sitting, and the dog keeps barking. Can you watch here?"

Lin Xiuqing waved her hand, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.

Ye Yaodong sat for a long time and his legs became numb. He rubbed them a few times before getting up and walking out.

Standing at the door, he stretched his body, but when he was halfway stretched, he saw a group of people surrounding his motorcycle.

The dogs that followed him out were being surrounded, baring their teeth at the people around them.

He thought the dog was barking because passers-by were approaching. But at this moment, there was no such thing as passers-by approaching. Some annoying children were beating the dog with sticks.

"What are you doing? Where did this kid come from? You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog."

When the dogs heard his voice, they immediately squeezed out of the crowd and started barking.

Ye Yaodong patted their heads soothingly and said, "I'll give you some extra food when I get home tonight. I'll also buy you some pig lungs."

"How are you going to sell these dogs? You raised so many to sell them, right? It's Chinese New Year..."

The dogs barked even louder.

"No, I'm keeping him as a janitor. Let's go, or I'll have to blame you if my motorcycle breaks down. This one costs tens of thousands of dollars."

Everyone was so scared that they immediately took a few steps back, fearing that they would be scammed.

"How can it break if we just touch it twice?"

Ye Yaodong had nothing to be angry about. Everyone likes to watch the fun and see rare things.

He didn't explain and just rode his motorcycle to guard here. A bunch of dogs surrounded him, some standing and some squatting.

The people around didn't dare to touch it anymore and could only watch from afar.

Ye Yaodong felt like he had become a monkey now, and everyone who passed by had to look at him.

Some people don’t know what’s here, but just want to join in the fun when they see people gathering around.

If they say there will be a chapter in the early morning, then there will be one.

I was lazy for a bit, and ended up having to pay it back double. I wrote 14 words today to make up for the missed updates. I'm so tired that my brain is going to break.
