Chapter 172 Change Ship
Waiting for the next morning, before the tide came in, the couple took the child to show Mother Ye and went directly to the town.
The last ten beads were sold for 1200 yuan under Ye Yaodong's three-inch tongue.
Their Haiqingsha Town is a port town. There is not only one jewelry store in the town. If the price of this one cannot be negotiated, he wants to go out and change to another one. He will never lose money.
Unexpectedly, before going out, the shop owner stopped him, and he responded directly.
As long as the item is good, the price is really negotiable. After all, after being made into jewelry, the value can be doubled several times.
Lin Xiuqing had a huge sum of money in her pocket, afraid of losing it or meeting a thief, she kept one hand in her pocket, holding the money tightly, and dared not take it out along the way.
Hearing that Ye Yaodong was going to buy maltose for the children, she was a little reluctant, "Come again next time? Let's go home early, it's not safe outside, in case it's gone..."
"It won't take long, and it's not too far away. The children in the family know that we came to the town. If we go back empty-handed, they will make a fuss and say that I have broken my promise. This time, it's not two, it's eight , it’s going to be a disaster.”
"Then...then hurry up, let's buy it and go home immediately."
"I know."
With excitement and nervousness in mind, Lin Xiuqing also heaved a sigh of relief when the couple arrived home safely.
1,200 yuan is not a small amount. An ordinary family may not be able to save enough for two years without food or drink.
Sister Ye saw them coming back at the door, and asked eagerly, "Have you sold it? How much?"
Second Sister-in-law Ye said sourly: "Why are there several hundred? Get rich, get rich."
"Hehe, let's take a look." After speaking, Lin Xiuqing hurriedly dragged Ye Yaodong into the room.
Take out the money from her pocket, and after counting it again, she happily put it back in the drawer and locked it.
In recent years, every household has no habit of depositing money in the post office. They keep all the money at home and hide it.
"How much money does our family have now?"
Speaking of this, he felt a little ashamed. Ever since he asked at the beginning and was **** off by her, he didn't dare to ask how much money the family had anymore.
Just be responsible for making money.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him with a smile, "Why do you ask this? No matter how much money your family has, you have to work hard to earn money to support your family."
"Earn, I must earn and work, isn't this curious? I can figure out how much money I have."
Hearing his plan, Lin Xiuqing also remembered what Ah Zheng said at noon yesterday, and said seriously: "Do you really want to change to a bigger boat? Isn't this small wooden boat pretty good now? It's enough, and It hasn't been open for a few months."
"Enough is enough, but I can't go too far to the sea, I can only wander around, scouring the sea, collecting ground cage nets, and the daily harvest is limited. I am very lucky."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"What I want to do depends on how much money the family has." Ye Yaodong looked at her innocently.
Originally, he didn't intend to put the matter of changing the ship on the agenda so soon. He wanted to accumulate a little bit more slowly, so that he would have enough money to change the ship, and he would have room to spare just in case there was a child in her belly.
Regardless of whether she can be born safely or not, the adults must guarantee it.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Instead of begging grandpa to sue grandma when the time comes, it is better to arrange plans in advance.
Now that she is determined to sell pearls, she must make good use of the money. Money is a dead thing, and it will not make money if left alone, so it must be used.
If, in addition to the family’s savings during this period, enough to change the ship, and still have money to protect her, then he wants to arrange it.
Lin Xiuqing thought about it for a while, and felt that he earned the money, so it's okay if he didn't ask. Now that she asked, she had to tell him, and it's not a bad thing to change the iron boat.
"Including the pearl money just entered into the account, the family has more than 3,600 deposits."
"so much?"
Ye Yaodong stared, did he earn so much?
"It's not all earned by you, there are also hundreds of wages I earned from weaving nets in the past few years."
Happily, he held her in his arms and kissed her deeply, "Thank you for your hard work. I thought that if you sell pearls today, we have a lot in the early 3000s."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him reproachfully, then wiped her cheek, "How come you look like your son, and can still drool all over your face."
"Haha, haven't you ever eaten?" Ye Yaodong laughed and then said seriously, "I want to discuss with you, how about we sell the small wooden boat and replace it with a second-hand iron boat?"
"Is it trawling?"
"The row hook has been made by someone. I want to try longline fishing. The longline fishing is very good. If you get one or two thousand hooks, go to a farther sea area and have more resources. It will definitely not be bad. If it is not ideal, then trawling the net, anyway, it will not be worse than a small wooden boat with a ground cage."
"Don't you want the ground cage? The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are still working there..."
Lin Xiuqing lowered her eyelids and thought for a while, it seems that it would not be a loss to change the iron boat.
"You can change it if you want, it's just how busy you are at sea alone, a boat must have two people, and it's not convenient for me now, there are two small ones at home..."
"It's simple. Let's hire someone. There are many workers in the village. We hire one regularly. The salary can be calculated by month or by day."
Calculated on a monthly basis, it costs about 60 yuan a month, and if calculated on a daily basis, it costs about 3 yuan a day. After all, you have to go to sea, which is risky, and it must be higher than other wages.
Three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. On days with strong winds and waves, there will always be a few days in a month that you can’t go.
Lin Xiuqing nodded, since he has already thought about it, she has no reason not to support it.
Buying a boat is much more reliable than the second sister-in-law's investment in the lobby brother. At least the money has been given out, and the boat is in hand, so I can make money steadily with my own labor.
The big cousin said it sounded like an investment, but he gave the money himself, but he didn’t know anything about it.
I don't know what the second sister-in-law is thinking, and she doesn't listen to her persuasion. The eldest sister-in-law, who is usually sober, is actually moved this time.
Feeling that her mind was drifting away, Lin Xiuqing quickly pulled back her thoughts.
"That's fine, then go talk to your parents tomorrow, and let them know in advance that buying a boat is not a trivial matter, so you have to let them know. By the way, ask dad to help you find out who has a second-hand boat that you want to resell. Dad must know more people than us, and he knows more, so I have to ask him to help palm the eye when the time comes."
"I know this, as long as you support me." Ye Yaodong grinned happily.
After dinner, Ye Yaodong saw that it was still early. Now that he had made up his mind, it would be sooner rather than later, and he didn't have to wait for tomorrow. He would go to the old house after dinner.
He told Ye's father and Ye's mother about his thoughts, which also showed that the couple had discussed it.
Father Ye couldn't believe it for a while, the youngest is walking a little too fast?
Boss and second child still want to follow him and share some money.
In the past, the idle old Sanyi became serious, and it took only a month, but he caught up with him directly, and he went straight from the small wooden boat to the iron boat.
Mother Ye was also very surprised.
The son who hates the iron but not steel the most, is more promising than the calm boss and the honest second child.
Even Ye Huimei was surprised, when did the third brother become so rich? Can you change the ship?
The one who was the least surprised and the happiest was the old lady.
When she heard the words, she immediately burst into a smile, and pulled Ye Yaodong to praise him desperately, saying that he is promising and amazing, and that he is going to change to a bigger ship. It is really the blessing of the ancestors...
Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed by the old lady's praise, but he just changed to a bigger boat. The old lady seemed to have done a lot of things, and said that he would burn incense for his grandfather and tell him...
"Are you serious?"
Although what he said just now was very serious and serious, but Father Ye still wanted to ask for sure.
"Of course, can I still come here to tease you guys? It won't do me any good, maybe I'll get a beating."
This kid, just said a few serious words, and then said that again.
"Speak well and talk about business!"
"Oh, I have something to say, Dad, you can help me find out, you are the pillar of our family, you know more people than I have eaten rice, you can help me find out if there is a suitable boat. If not, It’s okay to wait, there’s no rush.”
Mother Ye asked him quickly, "Dongzi, do you have enough money? Although it is second-hand, it is not cheap. The machine is expensive."
"Enough, we sold the oyster pearls today, it should be enough, if it is not enough, then there is no problem to go to a friend to collect some."
Of course, you can’t talk too much, it’s normal to make things up.
Ye Huimei's eyes lit up slightly when she heard that he had sold the oyster pearls. She had 4 of them in her hand, and she wanted to ask him how he sold them, but she felt that it was not appropriate to ask him at this time, so she swallowed it abruptly, and waited. It's not too late for her to ask after they finish talking about important matters.
But before she could ask, Mother Ye asked first.
Ye Yaodong talked about the matter of selling pearls in the afternoon, and the family members understood it. No wonder he has the money to change the ship.
The third child is serious, and he still has this fortune.
Father Ye thought so in his heart, and he responded, "Okay, since you have all discussed it and decided to change to a larger iron boat, then I will ask someone to ask, pay attention, and let you know if I have any news. .”
"Then what are you going to do with your little wooden boat?" Mother Ye asked.
"With a new boat, this small wooden boat should not be needed anymore. How about I return it to you? You sell it? Or you can take it back to the eldest brother or the second brother. Anyway, mother at that time They also confiscated my money, as if I had borrowed it for a few months."
Ye Yaodong doesn't care which brother his parents give it to, he has taken advantage of it after using it for free for so long.
Ah Qing should have no objection either.
Code up to now, I'm useless...
Tomorrow, I must change my mind and become a good code writer...
