Chapter 1631 Going to work
Ye's father reluctantly carried his luggage back to his dormitory.
Ye Xiaoxi, carrying her schoolbag, ran off to play with Pei Yu and the twins.
Ye Yaodong looked around and saw that the place was empty, with no one around him. He felt like he had come out to wait at the door for nothing.
He thought the three little ones would chatter and call him "Dad," but one ran away, another was in a hurry to report for work, and the last one ignored him completely.
The elderly also left on their own.
He put his hands on his hips, shook his head, and helplessly headed towards the office.
Before long, Ye Chenghu came running over in a flurry, "Dad, when can I go out to sea?"
"You just finished a boat ride, aren't you going to rest for a bit?"
"I'm not tired!"
"Alright, then you can go out with the seafood collection boat tomorrow. I'll have someone take you there tomorrow. Go in the morning and come back in the afternoon."
"Great, great!" Ye Chenghu excitedly ran out again like a gust of wind.
A moment later, Ye Xiaoxi also ran in excitedly.
"Dad, I went to my cousin to register for work, but she wouldn't let me register and told me to come to you! Didn't we agree that my brothers would help you with your work, and I would help you too?"
Ye Yaodong looked up from the ledger. "How can you help me?"
She frowned, trying to think, then shook her head. "You said I just need to play with my sister."
"Then why are you even registering?"
"I want my salary! Don't you have to register to get paid?"
Ye Xiaoxi went around the table, ran to his side, and swayed her arm around his.
“I told you I wanted to help you, but you said I just wanted to play with my sister. Well, I should get paid too!”
"I want one too! I want one too! My brothers have them, I want one too!"
"I want to get paid too, Dad. Why are you assigning me work? I can definitely do it."
Ye Yaodong shook her until she had no choice but to say, "If you work for me, you won't be able to play with your sister anymore. You'll have to get up early and go to work every day, just like your second brother. You can't just get paid for nothing! You have to put in the effort."
“I can do it. I’ll go to work with my second brother every day, and then play with my sister after get off work.”
"Okay, then you two go to the back craft area and help tear squid into strips."
"Okay, okay, I know how to do this. I used to help my mom with this at home."
Ye Yaodong was dragged outside by Ye Xiaoxi. "My cousin told me to come and talk to you. Otherwise, she won't register me."
“Your second brother is a child laborer. His wages are halved compared to those of working people. Compared to him, your wages are halved again.”
"Why!"
"Who told you to be young?"
Ye Xiaoxi pouted, "How many are there?"
“Your second brother gets 80, and you get 40.”
She had already learned division and could do calculations. "That's only a little over a dollar a day? No way! I want to be like my second brother. Why should I get less than him when we do the same work?"
"Because you are younger than him, you must have done less than him."
"But we work the same hours! He's a child laborer, and so am I! That's not fair!"
She stomped her feet angrily and swayed her body in protest.
"I don't care, I want to be like my second brother, otherwise I'll pester you until you die."
As she spoke, she hugged his arm tightly and wouldn't let go.
Then she realized that just holding his arms wasn't enough, so she changed to holding his waist.
"You're not allowed to move an inch, and you're not allowed to go anywhere!"
"You think your two little arms can hold me back?"
Ye Xiaoxi hugged him even tighter, "I won't let you touch it! I want to be like my second brother, you can't be biased."
How have I shown favoritism?
“You’re biased in everything. You gave my second brother 80 yuan, but only gave me 40 yuan. You’re just biased towards my second brother.”
"Is this favoritism? You usually get more than your older brothers."
"That's different. That was before. Now you don't even want to give me my salary. I had to beg you before you agreed to give it to me, and it's only half of what my second brother gets! You're just biased towards my second brother!"
"When did you beg me? Is this how you ask for help? You're clearly being unreasonable."
"Ah~ Father~ Please, please, I want to be like my second brother, okay Father, please~"
She dragged out the last word, her arms wrapped around his waist as she swayed and twisted.
"Dad~ please, you're the best, okay~ I love you~ love you~ love you~ please, I want the same salary as my second brother~"
"Are you still my most beloved father? Aren't you the father who loves me the most? You can't favor my second brother, you can only favor me! Father~"
Ye Yaodong was being shaken by her, the corners of his mouth kept turning up, and the expression on his face was about to break down.
"Alright, alright, whatever, it's the same. This is so annoying. Get out of here. You'll be working with your second brother tomorrow. If you're late or leave early, your salary will still be docked."
"Yay~" Ye Xiaoxi cheered and jumped up happily, her little body twisting and turning as she bounced around, she was so happy.
"That's great! I get a salary now! I'm a worker now! I can go to work and earn money! I'm so amazing!"
"You're so great, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, my dad is amazing~ My dad is the best~ Dad, hurry up, let's go find my cousin and tell her."
After saying that, she ran to the finance office, then hugged Lin Dongxue's arm and twisted and turned in a coquettish manner.
"Cousin, my dad agreed. He said I can do the same work and earn the same salary as my second brother."
Lin Dongxue looked at her with a smile, "Really? If it's fake, then I'll have to pay you back."
"Really, I would never lie. You should register right away."
"Okay, if it's fake, I'm going to spank you."
“My dad is right behind me. You can ask him if you don’t believe me.”
Ye Yaodong came in and said, "Register her, just like Yangyang. Then deduct her salary for being late or leaving early three times. Let's see how many days she can stick to it."
"I will definitely persevere!"
Ye Xiaoxi clenched her fist and cheered herself on, determined to do her best.
Ye Yaodong added, "Register Cheng Hu under the boatman column, and his salary will be 80% of that of a boatman."
He was still very fair. The eldest son's salary at sea was naturally much higher than that of the two younger sons. He arranged it all for the eldest son without him even having to ask.
However, Ye Chenghu, that simpleton, didn't think about getting a raise, and didn't even ask about it, assuming it was still last year's salary.
He didn't even think that a year had passed and he should get a raise. As soon as he arrived, he ran to Ye Chengjiang's dormitory and then stayed there and wouldn't come out.
Ye Chenghe got married and moved out of the rented house, leaving only three people in the dormitory. They couldn't even get enough people to play cards. They were overjoyed to see Ye Chenghu, as they had another card player.
Nowadays, there's no such thing as Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game). The classic way to play cards requires four people, or you can only play Pai Gow (another popular Chinese card game).
"Haha, I knew you'd be on summer vacation and would definitely come up. Why are you so late? I thought you should have arrived a couple of days ago," Ye Chengjiang said excitedly.
"That bastard Ye Chenghe, he's got a wife and forgot about his brothers. He doesn't come over anymore. I asked him to come over early this afternoon to play cards for a while, but he wouldn't listen. Damn it."
"A person who has no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex."
"You arrived just in time. Come on, let's start the game..."
Ye Chenghu had just put down his schoolbag and hadn't even sat down yet when they dragged him onto the bed.
"I have no money……"
"It's alright, we have it!"
"We can let you owe us that."
Ye Chenghu was not about to admit defeat. "Tch, watch me get something for nothing and beat three others with one."
The truth is, he lost 5 yuan in just two hours. Three of his opponents won against him, and just when his luck finally turned around, the other three went to work, which made him furious.
However, when he went out to sea early the next morning, he realized that there was a time difference between him and them. When his fishing boat docked and went back to rest, they were just coming out to work and starting to unload and deliver cargo.
He was like two parallel lines that never intersected with the other three; they could see each other but never met, and there was no chance for them to turn the tables.
Ye Xiaoxi got up early in the morning to find Ye Chengyang, ready to go to work with her second brother. Today was her first day of work!
It has special significance!
Pei Yu was extremely envious. She also wanted to work at her third uncle's place, but her mother disagreed, telling her not to cause trouble. She explained to her in detail that it was her sister's family factory, which was why the three siblings could go.
Ye Xiaoxi specially wore her favorite little dress and her favorite transparent sandals, but if you ignored the three plastic rings on her hands, it would be perfect.
When Ye Yaodong came to inspect the area early in the morning, he was a little confused to see her with three plastic rings on one hand.
What are you holding?
Ye Xiaoxi held up her hand to show him, then said in a puzzled tone, "A ring? Don't you know what that is? Can't you even understand it?"
"Why are you wearing this to work?"
"My sister gave it to me so I could wear my prettiest jewelry to work and look even better."
"Hehe, then you do it..."
"Dad, don't you think it looks good?"
"It looks good, it looks good. As long as you think it looks good, I'm not important."
Ye Xiaoxi happily spread her hands out in front of her eyes for a moment to admire them, then went back to work happily.
Everyone else was sitting at the table to work, but she wasn't tall enough to do it, so she had to stand. After working for a short while, she became restless and started fidgeting.
Ye Chengyang reminded her, "Leaving early or being absent without leave will result in a fine. Don't work a whole month and end up owing the factory money."
"How could that be? That's nonsense." Ye Xiaoxi calmed down again.
Ye Yaodong stood behind them and thought it was a good thing. This would help them develop patience and learn to persevere.
The money you earn yourself has a different meaning. It's better to work part-time during the two months of summer vacation than to run around and have fun.
After a moment of silence, Ye Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask, "Brother, how much is your salary, big brother?"
"I don't know, is it the same as ours?"
"Dad said the boatmen get 80%, how much is that?"
Ye Chengyang's eyes widened. "Holy crap, so many! I want to go to sea too! Boatmen's wages are much higher than factory workers'."
Ye Yaodong spoke up from behind, "Don't think about it. You're still too young. Just do what you're supposed to do. If your brother's salary isn't higher than yours, then what's the point of him taking this risk to go to sea?"
Ye Xiaoxi watched indifferently; if her second brother got a raise, she would get one too.
She doesn't need to emulate her eldest brother; she only needs to emulate her second brother!
