Chapter 104 Settle accounts and divide family
After being busy for several days, Ye Yaodong was tired and weak. Every day when he got home, he would lie down and rest without going anywhere.
It was Ah Guang who came over with a happy face and told him that he changed his name to Pei Shun, and his household registration book was also changed today.
Ye Yaodong was not surprised when he heard this, he changed his name when he was almost 50 in his last life.
He hooked Ah Guang's shoulders who wanted to go into the house, and walked under the tree at the door, "It's pretty good, let's tell the fortune teller, it's going to be smooth sailing, we who are in the sea want to be smooth sailing, smooth sailing."
"Well, my father also bought the boat from our neighbor Aunt Ma's house, so he doesn't plan to run a big boat anymore."
"Ah? Is that Lin Yongshou's family who just fell into the sea? You guys are so fast? They just finished the funeral, right?"
Ah Guang said affirmatively: "Yes, it's his house. My father also had an idea when he saw that I had built a boat. Didn't he mention it to you the other day? After you left, we planned to buy a trawler."
"Aunt Ma's house happened to live not far from us. In the past two days or three days, relatives have come to buy her boat. She is very annoying, but there is nothing I can do. My father came to deliver some seafood to her. Let’s talk, maybe my dad’s price is a bit high, so she just sold it to my dad after thinking about it for two days.”
Ye Yaodong patted his thigh, "It's a bargain for you, and I'm greedy, but I don't have the money. How much did you pay for it? That boat is 17-8 meters long, right?"
"Add a few nets and the machines on board, all of which cost more than 2,300. It's not too expensive. It's cheaper than a new ship. They just bought it a few years ago. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It's a pity. people."
"Living by the sea is like this. Who knows when the danger will come, so do you plan to trawl the nets in our waters when you bought the trawling boat?"
"My dad wants to take the boat to Shenjiamen to make shrimp skins, but I don't want to go, so we plan to trawl on our side first. I'm a little thirsty, I'll go in and pour a bowl of water..."
Ye Yaodong pulled him back, "Just ask the little one to go!"
"Ah Hai, pour out a glass of water~"
After shouting, Ye Yaodong continued: "It's actually not easy to leave your hometown. You just spent a lot of money, so it's better to fish in our offshore first and get back your money."
Ah Guang stretched his neck, feeling a little depressed, but he still spoke with a normal face, "Yes, that's it. After all, we have lived here for many years and are familiar with it. It's better to be safe outside."
Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder, "Work hard! You will definitely get rich!"
"Let me borrow your good words. I've been talking for a long time, why don't you let me in and sit for a while, and don't let me drink water?"
Ah Guang wanted to enter the house several times when he was talking, but he either blocked the door, or he walked under the big tree with his shoulders hooked.
Damn it, if you want to enter the house to drink saliva, you will be blocked, like a thief!
"The room is very stuffy, what are you doing in the room when it's so hot?" After speaking, he yelled into the room, "Ah Hai, I told you to pour a glass of water out, did you hear that?"
"What are you shouting, won't you come in and pour it yourself? Ah Hai ran to the bathroom." Ye Huimei came out with wet hair wrapped in her shower.
As soon as Ah Guang's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but wanted to move away, but Ye Yaodong blocked him, "It's over? You can go back when you're done."
Ah Guang stared, but he hadn't even said anything yet.
"What do you mean? I came to talk to you, but you drove me away before I finished speaking, and didn't let me take a sip of water."
"Drink the wool and swallow your saliva, get out!"
Grass!
The doorway was full of people who came out to enjoy the cool after eating, and Ah Guang didn't dare to show it too obviously, and he could only return without success if he cursed secretly.
Ye Yaodong then turned around and went back to the house satisfied. Friends are friends. Being a brother-in-law is not good, his sister is a tender and tender cabbage.
Waiting until the next day, which is the last day of July in the lunar calendar and also the day before September 1, their rough house was completed.
Father Ye has limited funds, so they only built a one-story stone bungalow. If they want to build more, they have to buy bricks.
"It's not too bad to build a house like this. If you have money, you can add one more floor. Your father and I have no skills, so I can only build it like this for you."
"Hee hee, it's alright dad, there are two rooms on the first floor enough to live in." Ye Yaodong was very satisfied, the layout of the house was the same as in his previous life, it was enough for him, two children in one room, he and he One room for the wife, just right.
Ye Yaopeng also said: "Yes, let's save some money in the future and build another layer on top. Anyway, the child is still young."
Ye Yaohua echoed: "Yes, yes."
"Well, I'm optimistic that there will be a day on the sixth day of August. When the tide rises at noon, the beams will be erected, and then the house will be moved on the 20th. Just as the house is finished, let it hang out for a few days, and you will move in as soon as the day comes. Now let's do the math. Count the expenses of building a house."
For the sake of auspiciousness, they usually choose the sixth and ninth days of the lunar calendar, and the time is close to noon.
Because the beams of the house are all pre-made on the ground, without lifting equipment, it is difficult and dangerous to lift a piece of wood weighing hundreds of catties to a height of three or four meters with bare hands. Choosing the day and time is a kind of prayer activity to ensure personal safety.
They would rather wait for a few more days, and then go to the beam when they have time.
"Father, you can do the math..."
Ye Mu also said: "It must be calculated. I keep the accounts here. I will calculate it for you."
"The bill for the previous foundation has already been calculated, so I won't talk about it after giving it away. Let's just say that the materials for the three houses now cost nothing except sand, and it's just labor."
"We hired 13 workers, two masters, and worked for 50 days. The wages of the workers were 1.5 yuan a day, and the wages of the masters were 2.3 yuan a day. The wages for this day were 24 yuan and 10 cents. After working for 50 days, the wages were 1205 The stones were chiseled by workers on the mountain, the loess was also transported from the mountain, and the stones were picked by the stream. Only the sand and tiles cost money, and this one cost 270 yuan. Seafood and vegetables cost nothing, but rice and noodles The carnivorous dishes also cost 210 in the past two months, and these cost a total of 1835."
"There are still a few small expenses, let's count it as 1850 yuan."
"Trawling the net for the past two months, yellow croaker accounted for the majority, and the big cod a few days ago, there are 1,700 yuan here..."
Speaking of this, the eyes of the few present are all brightened, and they all shine.
Mother Ye continued: "During the past two months, I didn't go to trawling every day. There were times when the harvest was good, and there were times when the harvest was average. The goods sold for about 860 yuan, but the cost of diesel oil went to 230 yuan, and the machine repair cost 85 yuan, leaving 545 yuan. .”
Compared with other families, they are considered lucky. Based on this calculation, they didn’t earn much by dragging nets for two months.
"It's equivalent to a total of 2,245 yuan for selling goods. After deducting the house, we have about 400 yuan left."
Although Ye Mu is illiterate, she has her own set of bookkeeping methods. She writes a bunch of crooked numbers in circles and crosses, and remembers each stroke clearly.
After Ye Mu finished speaking, the room was quiet for a while, everyone, look at me and I look at you, but Ye Yaodong made a sound.
"It's enough to build a house, and you can keep the rest of the money. In a few days, there will be wine for the workers when the beam is erected. The tiles haven't been laid yet, and wages are needed."
"Well, I will also buy some silk and satin, as well as peanut candy tossing beams."
After Ye's mother finished speaking, she looked at Ye's father. Ye's father took the hookah and smoked, and said after smoking: "I discussed it with your mother, and there is nothing special to divide the family. Just take everything with you, and the bowls and chopsticks should be taken by your head."
"In addition, it is the remaining money. Each of you will give you 50 yuan to start a family. If you need to add anything, you can figure it out yourself. There is nothing else, do you have any opinions?"
"Father, you have built this house for us, so we don't need to divide the money?"
"Yes, you have worked so hard for so long, you can keep the rest of the money for yourself."
"We still have some money in our hands. If we need to buy something, we will spend it ourselves." Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua said one after another.
Ye Yaodong had already said it before, so he kept silent. Anyway, he had no money in his previous life. He still owed a little debt after the house was built. Ye father and mother paid it back, and they moved to a new house after being happy.
"If there is no money left, it's fine. Since there is a little left, then we still need the basics, 50 yuan per person, and we will collect the excess."
Mother Ye followed suit: "Your younger sister is getting older, and she will have to get married soon, and we still need to pay for it. As brothers and sisters-in-law, you can figure it out and add something to her."
"Mother, don't worry about that, we, the brother and sister-in-law, will definitely add a quilt and clothes to her."
"That's fine. I'll get you money later. Let's divide the family like this. We'll eat and drink together these few days. Wait until the beam is finished. Look forward to the day of moving. You can move there and buy more pots and pans." .”
After Ye Mu finished speaking, she couldn't help but go into the house to get the money.
Everyone couldn't shirk it, so they had to accept the family book, and the family shared 50 yuan, and they went back to their houses happily and whispered.
Ye Yaodong and his wife also went back to the house.
Lin Xiuqing was still holding the money in his hand, and said with emotion: "Our parents are very kind. When other people's families are divided, they will share a pair of chopsticks and bowls. They don't have much money and give us 50 yuan each as a family book."
"Knowing that my parents are good, then you will be more filial to them in the future."
She glared at him reproachfully, "I would do it if you didn't say so."
"How much money does our family have now?"
"More than 1000 points."
"so little?"
He has given her more than 700 yuan one after another in the past two months, but all his belongings are only in the early 1000s?
"Otherwise, how much money do you think we have? We have been married for five years. Although we eat and live at home, we also need daily necessities and human expenses. Otherwise, if I didn't buy paper, you can only use bamboo chips to go to the toilet. .”
Uh... I have to say this too!
As soon as he talked about this, he thought that he had just been reborn at the end of June. When he went to the toilet, he thought that there would be paper in the toilet, but in the corner there were only slices of bamboo...
"And in the past few years, except for the bride price, and these two months, you have never given me any money before. The money in my hand is all saved by me weaving a net."
"Okay, okay... I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't ask this question, I will definitely make money in the future."
Ye Yaodong was ashamed to hear her calculate the accounts, and hurriedly begged for mercy.
Lin Xiuqing didn't want to turn over the old score with him, so she just opened it up, put all the money away, and tidied up the things in the house by the way.
