The two pedaled their bicycles along the way, chasing each other, this time it can be said that silence speaks louder than words.
The two of them didn't force each other, and Father Ye's ears didn't hurt anymore, but the buttocks kept bouncing, so they could only be told to ride slowly.
In the end, no one listened to him, and he was still pedaling fast. He could only hold on to the bottom of the cushion tightly to prevent himself from falling off.
Thanks to the pursuit of the two of them, it took a little over two hours to go, and only an hour and a half to return.
It's just that his old bones are about to be knocked apart.
Father Ye supported his waist, touched his buttocks and watched Ah Guang go back, then looked at Ye Yaodong, "You go back too, next time you two get together, don't call me."
"okay!"
As soon as Ye Yaodong got home, he immediately went back to the room to soak his feet, and called Ah Qing into the room by the way.
"Wife..."
"Don't call me my wife, just my first name."
Lin Xiuqing still kept the wool in her hands, and sat on the stool opposite the bed without raising her head.
Ye Yaodong: "..."
"I just told you about going to the shipyard this morning, and I didn't ask you for money."
"Then tell me, I'm listening."
Ye Yaodong slammed his lips, thought for a while, and decided to make sure, "After paying 5,000 yuan in two days, there should be another 10,000 yuan?"
Lin Xiuqing had an expression I knew, "How much does it cost to order a new boat?"
"Not necessarily, it's hard to say, it depends on what you want, and he can give you an offer."
"Oh, then you have gone to see it, and you should have an idea of how much you want, right?"
"Hehe~ Let me tell you about the situation of the ship in the factory first?"
"you say!"
Ye Yaodong cleared his throat, and told him what he had seen and heard today, and by the way, told her about the situation of various ships and their corresponding approximate prices.
"Hiss~ so expensive!" Lin Xiuqing was knitting a sweater while listening to him, the iron needle in her hand poked her finger, and she cried out in pain.
"Ahem, eight or nine thousand is not expensive, there are more than ten thousand..."
She stared at him for a long time with round eyes, looked at his innocence-pretending and persistent eyes, and then fell silent again.
After thinking about it, she said again: "Isn't it good that we are doing this now? There are probably not many people in the village who are richer than us, and we are still earning money slowly, which is very good and stable. Isn't it?"
"If you want to change to a better, bigger boat, why don't we accumulate it for two or three years before we talk about it? When the time comes to get out ten thousand yuan, I probably won't be so distressed."
Ye Yaodong rubbed his feet together, and said seriously: "If you order now, the delivery date will probably be at the end of next year. Didn't I tell you just now? In recent years, everyone's life has become more worry-free, and hardworking people can They all saved some money, and they all want to replace the boat with a bigger one so that they can make more money.”
"I heard that one in our village and one in the next-door village have also ordered boats, but the delivery date has not yet arrived."
"We don't need to take it out right away, we just pay a 30% deposit first, we don't buy too expensive ones, we should pay 3,000 yuan first, and the rest will be paid after delivery. There is a nearly two Years is enough for us to make money buffer, right?"
Lin Xiuqing also made some calculations in her heart.
Ye Yaodong persisted and continued: "Look, this year I trawled nets, cast longlines, lowered cages, caught squid and jellyfish, and now I've dried the fish, and I've earned less than 10,000 intermittently. Let's sell the dried fish later. By the Chinese New Year, I can earn about 2,000 yuan."
"In this way, don't we have 17,000 yuan on hand? We have to pay 5,000 yuan for the final payment of the store, and then pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan, and we still have 9,000 yuan on hand, which is a lot. Everything is enough."
"And there are still two years, we can earn more slowly, right? This year, I earn a small 10,000. In the past two years, I can buy two more boats, don't you think so? "
"Buy two more boats? It's a good idea." Lin Xiuqing almost didn't make him laugh. "You have already counted the money you haven't earned yet."
"Isn't this safe and secure? Don't those dried fish money be in your hands right away? And I can continue to earn, can't I?"
"Look, it only took us more than a year to start from scratch. We are destined to make a fortune!"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing now, "The God of Wealth belongs to your family, and he is destined to get rich!"
"Isn't this obvious?"
Ye Yaodong was also happy. Judging by his wife's appearance, she should have no objection.
Family and everything prosper, the family can fully support him, of course it is the best, the strength of the whole family can only be prospered if it is directed at one place!
"Then you can figure it out. Anyway, it is a property purchase. The boat is the foundation of our fishermen's survival. It is a good thing that you can make money if you buy it."
Lin Xiuqing is just an ordinary woman. She has never imagined being rich and rich. This is an idea that I only have now. I used to just think about living my life.
Although she is not smart, she also knows that the money in her hands will not increase, as long as she has enough money to spend, and it seems that A Dong is quite persistent.
Under the condition of ensuring that she has enough money in her hand, she can only support it. After all, he is the head of the family, and many times it has proved that what he is doing is right.
"Not for sale, of course the boat at home is not for sale. I will continue to drive it for another two years. Even if I take over the new boat, this boat can continue to be kept at home to make money. When the time comes, I will see if Dad wants to drive it himself. Or use it directly to collect rent.”
Lin Xiuqing glanced at the wall at this time, and said in a low voice: "If we change to a big ship in two years, and Dad is too old to work and wants to stay at home, it is no problem to help us collect the rent, and we will still count the wages. give him."
"But if he wants to drive it by himself, does the father have to take back the boat from the elder brother and the second brother? Can't he not sail his own boat, put it there for rent, and then rent ours specially?"
"In two years, let's talk about it in two years. It's not clear whether Dad will go to sea with him, but he will definitely not take back the boat from the eldest brother and second brother. That boat is almost equivalent to giving it to the eldest brother and second brother. It is estimated that in another one or two years, father should not even ask for rent anymore."
Lin Xiuqing opened her mouth slightly in surprise, trying to say something, but it closed again.
It makes sense to think about it. After a year or two, Dad will get his own cost back, and he won't be earning his son's money all the time.
Originally, the boat was not very good, it was in tatters, and the money had been paid for too long, which exceeded the original value too much. The two sister-in-laws probably had to disagree.
She originally wanted to ask if she would give us another compensation? Are you hesitant to ask?
After thinking about it, she still asked.
Although it is not good to care too much about it, it is not a matter of care. The three brothers should have a bowl of water on the surface.
And they are supporting and respecting the old lady now, how do you think it is because their family pays more?
Ye Yaodong didn't think there was anything wrong with her asking this.
"Dad mentioned before that we have our own boat, and that boat will almost be opened by the elder brother and the second brother. He will secretly compensate me later. He said so, but I don't care anymore, and I don't expect With his little money, it would be great if he could provide for himself in the old age.”
He said emphatically again, "We have a lot of money in our hands. It is several times that of the eldest brother and the second brother's family. They have to share what they earn, but I keep it all by myself. I only count the wages for my father."
"And we still have a lot of treasures in our family. Although they will become valuable in the future, they are still rare good things. We have surpassed them by a lot. Don't worry too much about whether dad will compensate you or not."
Lin Xiuqing pursed her lips, "Well, all right!"
Ye Yaodong was also very satisfied that she didn't talk nonsense.
What the old man wants is the old man's business, as long as he doesn't do too much, he doesn't care.
Just like an old lady, although she favors him to the point of her armpits, she doesn't say that she treats other children and grandchildren poorly. She still visits her cousin's house from time to time to take care of her.
"Then are you going to the shipyard again tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow may not be enough time. I have to collect the dried fish tomorrow. I guess it will take me a long time to work. I have to wait until the delivery of the goods is finished the day after tomorrow. I have more free time before going to chat and discuss specific requirements and things. Only when you understand it can you decide.”
"Ah, yes, some of them should be able to do it tomorrow. Today, I feel that it has dried a lot. It should be almost ready for collection tomorrow."
"Um."
"Hurry up and wipe your feet, the water is cold, I'll get you a bowl of noodles to eat, but you didn't eat at noon, so you just soaked your feet when you came back. I was also called into the room by you and talked for a long time."
Lin Xiuqing put down the wool in hand and muttered as he walked, "I don't know what's going on, I'm so big, I can ride a bicycle into the ditch, I didn't make your father laugh."
"It's all caused by Ah Guang, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ride into the ditch."
"Come on, you, you are all out of shape."
As soon as the door creaked and opened, the voice of the old lady outside came immediately.
"After washing your feet, did you say a good word? I have already cooked Liu Liu, so I put it in the pot for fear of making noise when you talk, because it won't swell anyway. Come out and eat while it's hot."
"Hey, here we come."
The old lady even specially took the pair of woolen slippers she just crocheted today into the house for Ye Yaodong.
"I just finished washing my feet. It's more comfortable to wear slippers at home. Try to see if the size is good for you?"
Ye Yaodong had already stretched into the liberation shoes, took them out again, and put on slippers, "The size will be suitable, and it will be quite warm."
The old lady smiled kindly, "It's good to be warm, come out and eat noodles, how is the boat looking today?"
"It's pretty good, except that it's a bit expensive, there's nothing wrong with it."
"How much is the difference? If it's not enough, just ask your parents to borrow some. I also have some coffin books..."
"No, it hasn't been settled yet. Once it's settled, you just need to give a deposit first, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Okay, you are promising now, you can figure it out on your own, just discuss it with Ah Qing, and you can refer to it with your father."
