Chapter 1576 Arranging for the Son
Ye Yaodong reported to Lin Xiuqing what time they arrived yesterday and his plans for the next few days before hanging up.
The three siblings had already gone out; even after he hung up the phone, he could still hear them grumbling to each other at the door.
"You all stay put in the factory and don't go anywhere. Don't wander off. I have to go out on errands. If you need anything, go find your aunt, or any of the other adults here, understand?"
The three of them obediently replied that they understood.
Ye Yaodong counted the workers, took his father, and took a large truck and four tractors with him.
Knowing that they would be unloading and delivering seaweed this morning, Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe didn't go to work or get up early; they slept in and waited for further instructions.
They themselves delivered goods for Ye Yaodong until the early hours of the morning every night, and they would sleep until eight or nine o'clock before going out to work.
But when it comes to making money outside, nothing beats the ease and safety of earning money like Uncle San's.
They each drive a tractor now, so they naturally have to pay attention to safety. Sticking close to their third uncle is the best way to go. Just delivering goods for their third uncle is enough for them to earn money, so it's reasonable for them to sleep until they naturally wake up before going to work.
Unloading 50 tons of kelp isn't quick, but with his quick thinking and hard work, he finished it in one morning. He even helped the common folk unload it into the warehouse, stacking it neatly, without needing to use any of their manpower.
"It seems you've got more and more people on your team. That's impressive. Every time I see you after a while, it feels like you've made a fortune again."
"We all earn our money through hard work. So many of our brothers need to eat. Unlike you, who just sits down and collects money."
"What I do is much simpler than what you do. Mine is very complicated and gives me a headache. Making quick money isn't that easy. Everyone listens to you, you're the boss, and you make money so easily."
"That too."
"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
"No, I have so many brothers here, how can I leave them to go eat? Besides, my mother and three children came over yesterday. I've been busy all morning, I have to go back and see if they've caused any trouble."
"Oh, I see. Then how about tonight?"
"I also need to arrange deliveries tonight, and I have to go to Shanghai early tomorrow morning to take care of some business. I'll be gone for a few days. Maybe next time, I'll treat you when I get back."
"Then you're busy, we'll talk about it next time."
Ye Yaodong nodded, then called to the group of workers to get on the bus and go back.
Thirty or forty people responded in unison, quickly climbed onto the vehicle, and it was indeed quite intimidating.
He thought to himself that when he got back, he could arrange for uniforms to be provided with the factory's name embroidered on them. The workers on the fishing boats could also be provided with uniforms. This way, they would be more intimidating when they went out, and they would look more professional and organized.
Thinking this through, he mentioned it to Manager Qi when he got back, telling him to let him make the arrangements and that he would wait for the drawings to be completed before making a final decision.
Ye Xiaoxi came running over, panting, "Dad, Auntie's calling us for dinner."
"Okay, let's go eat."
"Dad, my aunt said she's bringing her younger sister and cousins with us tomorrow."
"Huh? What trouble is she causing? I'm already overwhelmed with the three of you. I don't even have time for myself, and I have to ask someone else to keep an eye on you."
"I do not know."
Ye Yaodong still disagreed. He thought her three kids were tiny and it wouldn't be convenient to take them around, and she wasn't afraid of losing them.
He mentioned it when we went over for dinner.
"Xiao Jiu said you're also taking your three friends to Shanghai tomorrow?"
Ye Huimei desperately tried to wink at him.
Ye Yaodong immediately understood and stopped talking about it.
Pei Yu said happily, "I'll sleep with my sister when I go to Shanghai."
Ye Xiaoxi smiled and nodded repeatedly.
After the meal, Ye Huimei said that she hadn't brought three children. She only wanted her mother to help take care of Pei Yu. Pei Yu was already grown up and not easy to fool. She could still coax the two younger ones, but it would be difficult to persuade the older one.
Ye Yaodong felt that since there was only one, it was fine, so he agreed.
His three children are all quite grown up now, so they are relatively easy to take care of when they are out and about.
He also planned to bring his two sons with him, taking them wherever he went, to broaden their horizons and cultivate their perspectives from a young age. Early exposure is never a bad thing, and it would prevent them from thinking about buying toys.
Then let his mother take the two little girls, and arrange for two bodyguards to accompany them around. There shouldn't be any major problems.
"Ah Guang hasn't called back either, and we don't know when he'll come up. He's been gone for quite a while. I thought he'd be able to come up with Dad."
"Let's wait for the next trip. I heard from Dad that the procedures are being processed. Dad originally wanted to wait a day or two to see, but I'm in a hurry, so he came up first."
"That's good."
Ye Yaodong was very busy, so he only chatted for a few minutes before going to hand over the work to his father.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were already immersed in the joy of going to Shanghai the next day and had no idea about their father's plans.
When they arrived in Shanghai, they were still a little puzzled to see Ye's mother leading Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, accompanied by two bodyguards, happily leaving the city.
"Dad, why don't we go with them? Why do we have to wait?"
"Because we're not traveling with them, your father will be leading you personally for the next few days."
The two brothers' eyes lit up.
"really?"
"Dad, aren't you busy?"
"Are we going to play a different game from them?"
"That's true. They're girls and we're boys, so we definitely can't play together with them. The things they buy aren't things we like either; they're all dolls, which aren't fun. We like cars."
Ye Yaodong patted his shoulders happily, "Yes, I'm going to show you something different. Lock the door and let's go."
"Hey, right away."
After the two brothers locked the door, one of them followed him to take the bus.
After working several shifts and walking thousands of meters under the scorching sun, all their anticipation had vanished. They finally stopped at the gate of a factory and watched the workers in dark blue work clothes passing by. Both of them had brows furrowed so deeply they could trap flies.
Ye Chenghu wiped his sweat. "Dad, you're not thinking of selling us to work in a shady factory, are you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Yaodong glanced at the curious workers around him. Luckily, they couldn't understand what the workers were saying, otherwise he would have beaten them up.
Ye Chengyang, his face flushed, asked, "But why did we come here? Didn't you say you'd take us sightseeing?"
"We've walked so far, we're so tired and hot, what are we doing here?"
"Go in, you'll see."
Since they were already there, the two of them could only follow him inside, feeling rather dejected.
Then the staff who were there to greet them asked what they were doing there, and then led them to the office for tea.
The two brothers then understood why their father had brought them here.
"Dad, why are you involving us when you buy the machine? It has nothing to do with us."
"Who said it's not a problem? My factory will be handed over to you in the future..."
Um? ! ! !
The two brothers stared wide-eyed, feeling as if they had been hit by a pie.
"...How can you be so ignorant? Since you're here, I'll show you around and broaden your horizons. Don't be like frogs in a well, knowing nothing and easily being fooled in the future, understand?"
Ye Chenghu sat up straight, then asked with a fawning expression, "Dad, will the factory be given to us later?"
"Otherwise what? When I get old, I'll take care of myself in my old age. If I don't give it to you, who will?"
"Then...then should Yangyang and I each have half?"
Ye Chengyang placed his hands on the table, shifted his body slightly, and moved closer to Ye Yaodong, his face also showing a fawning expression.
"Is this something you should be worrying about right now? What you should be worrying about right now is studying hard and doing well so you can help me more in the future."
"Huh? Weren't you supposed to help me?"
"What the hell?"
Ye Chenghu noticed that Ye Chengyang's expression had suddenly changed. He then glanced at Ye Chengyang before carefully saying, "Dad, I think you can work until you're at least 60. My grandfather is already 60 and he's still working. He can work until he's at least 70. I heard that my great-grandfather was still working when he was 80."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Chenghu carefully observed the expression on his face and said, "What I mean is, you don't need to rush to hand over the factory to me and Yangyang. We're still young. Take your time, keep going, and work hard! We've eaten less rice than you've eaten salt. Our family still depends on you."
Ye Yaodong's expression softened a bit, otherwise he would have been unable to control himself and would have pulled out his belt and given him a good beating.
I thought this kid was going to say that since the factory was given to them, he would work for them, at least until he was 60!
You little rascal.
Feeling that the crisis was over, Ye Chenghu breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Yes, you are still young. Your primary task is to study hard so that you can do great things in the future. For now, just observe and learn more. I brought you out today to broaden your horizons. Don't just think about playing with toys all day or running around everywhere, whether it's going up mountains or down to the sea. This summer vacation is also a chance for you to grow."
The two brothers nodded in agreement.
They had only been drinking tea for a short while when someone in charge came over.
Ye Yaodong spoke for a few minutes with the person in charge, and then walked around to see the better new and improved machines.
The two brothers followed him quietly, listening and watching.
That's why they say men are naturally drawn to and sensitive to machines. After a while, the two of them became very interested, watching and listening with great interest, without showing any reluctance.
Hobbies really don't discriminate by age; some of a man's preferences are simply innate.
After placing the order and finishing their business, the two boys were still somewhat reluctant to leave.
Ye Chenghu asked expectantly, "Dad, you bought such a big machine? It must have cost a lot of money."
"These production tools are indispensable; we'll have to rely on them to make money in the future. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."
Ye Chengyang asked, "Dad, should we bring the money over after we finish eating this afternoon?"
"Ah."
"Shall we come with you again?"
"Of course, where else can you two go? And if you have time after paying this afternoon, you'll need to go check out other places."
Ye Chenghu hurriedly asked, "Where should we go to see it?"
"Shipyard".
I got excited again in two moments.
"Oh, going to the shipyard? This afternoon? I want to go with you,"
"I've never been to a shipyard before, so I don't know what it looks like. Brother Hai works at a shipyard."
Ye Yaodong explained, "Ahai lives in the provincial capital, not the city. He applied for the exchange program."
There is one exception: Ahai's spot was not given by the county factory, but he got it himself. So after he finishes his studies, he can choose not to return to the county factory to make a difference. As long as the factory in the provincial capital is still willing to keep Ahai, he can stay.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, one would have to return to the original factory after completing their studies to serve it.
"Brother Hai is amazing."
"What a load of rubbish! He's still just doing odd jobs. He's supposed to be learning a skill, but he's still a greenhorn. He'll need at least 10 years to be called a master."
"But that's a shipyard..." Ye Chengyang was a little confused.
"Shipyards are nothing, tobacco companies are the real powerhouses."
"what?"
"You should think like this: you should let others work for you, instead of you working for others. That's the right way."
"Oh, just like Dad, a bunch of workers help you with the work."
"Yes."
Ye Chenghu chuckled, "Then Dad, when we grow up, you can give us the factory, then we'll all be working for us, right?"
"That's true, but you guys have to be reliable. If you're not reliable, I'll give you all the points, and you'd better work for me honestly."
"Oh."
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat."
In the afternoon, after Ye Yaodong and others paid the deposit, he took them to visit the shipyard. They were exceptionally excited all day, having come into contact with things they had never experienced before and seen things they had only heard of. It was as if they had opened the door to a new world, and they didn't even think about buying toys.
The next day, when they went to the Jiangnan Shipyard, they saw the super-sized ship that could carry cars. Their mouths were agape, and they couldn't take their eyes off it. They didn't want to leave all day and were thinking of coming back the next day.
However, he won't be coming over tomorrow. He's already taken care of things today, and tomorrow he'll go check out the land he bought.
After the New Year, he arranged for Chen Baoguo to come over and take care of a piece of wasteland in a village, build houses on it, and said that it was completed two months ago and has been rented out.
He wanted to find Chen Baoguo to inquire about the rental situation, collect the rent, and also take a look at the changes in Pudong over the past year.
The policy was just released at the beginning of the year, and now more than half a year has passed. Many places are being developed and constructed with corrugated iron sheets. In the past two days, he has seen all kinds of construction vehicles everywhere, and his two children are overwhelmed by the sight.
He even went to take a look at the farmland he had bought. Since farmland can be cultivated and can't be turned into foundations at will, he didn't plan to touch it and just left it there.
The two brothers weren't interested in the fields and were getting tired. Ye Yaodong didn't force them, since they had behaved very well these past two days. He left them in Chen Baoguo's small courtyard while he went to look at the fields. Only after he had finished looking at and understanding the fields did he take them back to the villa together.
While Ye's mother took the two maids around for three days, the two girls were overjoyed, but she was not happy at all. She spent all day running around the two maids, afraid that they would get lost. Although she had two bodyguards with her, how could she rely on others for everything? She had to keep an eye on them herself to feel at ease.
The sweltering heat nearly killed her; it was more tiring than killing fish all day. On the third day, she didn't want to go out at all, but considering that she had returned empty-handed the previous two days, she took her out for half a day. In the afternoon, she refused to leave the house no matter what.
When Ye Yaodong returned in the evening, she couldn't wait to ask him when he was going back.
"So rushed? You've only been here for three days."
"It's the fourth day and the fourth night. We need to get back quickly. I can't take it anymore. It's so hot and I have to take both of them around. I need to take them back and lock them up in the factory so they won't run away."
Ye Yaodong glanced at the two sisters who were playing enthusiastically on the sofa not far away, laughing out loud from time to time. The whole room was filled with their chattering and laughter.
As soon as they got back, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang rushed over to join them, looking at their spoils of the day, making things even more lively.
Mother Ye pressed further, "How's your business going? It's been so many days, is it finished yet?"
"It's all done..."
"Then let's hurry back tomorrow. It's not reassuring to leave everything at the factory to your father. Let's go back as soon as possible."
"Alright then, since you're in such a hurry, let's go back tomorrow."
He didn't care; he could just come over next time if anything came up.
Mother Ye was pleased. "Okay, I'll go pack my things and leave tomorrow morning."
The two sisters had a great time these past two days and have no objection to going back tomorrow.
The two brothers were struck dumb.
"Ah!!! Going back tomorrow?"
"Didn't we just arrive?"
"Why do we have to go back tomorrow? Can't we stay a few more days?"
"Right? We haven't gone anywhere. We've just stayed with Dad. We haven't bought anything, and we haven't gone to the department store either."
Ye's mother said with a stern face, "What are you buying? You're a grown man now, and all you think about are toys. There are already a bunch of cars and other random toys at home. Why do you want to buy more? You need to learn to help your father with chores and share the burden. You can't just think about playing all the time."
Ye Chenghu pointed to his two younger sisters' accusations, "They go out shopping every day and have bought a lot of things."
"They're young, are you young? You still have to compare yourself to them."
Ye Chenghu felt wronged and dared not speak. He looked at Ye Chengyang as if to say: Why don't you say something?
Ye Chengyang felt wronged. They followed their father around every day, exhausted and covered in sweat, but they didn't buy anything, while their two younger sisters happily had everything they wanted.
They had originally planned to accompany his father to take care of some important business over the next couple of days before going.
Who would have thought this would be the result? They finished their business and went back, not caring whether they lived or died.
"Go back early, there's a ton of stuff to do at home. I'll come over next month to run some errands, and I'll bring you all with me then, but not my sister."
The two lowered their heads unhappily and remained silent.
"Come back with me honestly and go help out at the factory. I'll pay you your wages."
salary!
The two brothers finally looked up at him.
"Go to work in the factory. I'll pay you the same amount of wages the workers earn each month. Hard work leads to wealth! Then you can use your own money to buy whatever you like, and nobody can stop you."
Ye Chenghu hesitated, still a little upset, "How much do those workers earn a month?"
"We have 100, 120, 150, and 180. The workers on the ship even get 200 a month."
"Really?" The two men's eyes gleamed with predatory intent.
"It's true, but you child laborers can't do as well as adults. You can only get the lowest grade, and then get a 8% discount."
Ye Chenghu happily said, "That's fine too. I'll go. I'll start working for you tomorrow."
Ye Chengyang smiled and said, "I'll go to work too. You can have someone teach me what kind of work I need to do."
"No problem, go upstairs and pack your things. You'll be going back tomorrow morning. You're all going back to work anyway, and you won't have time to play with toys. Save them for when you earn some money and buy them yourself."
"Can we buy whatever we want?" Ye Chengyang asked.
"can."
Ye Chenghu also asked, "Don't we have to consider your feelings?"
"……Need not."
"Let's go, let's go..." The two were overjoyed and pushed each other as they ran upstairs.
Sometimes, simply coaxing or suppressing children won't work. You need to shift their attention, give them something they're more looking forward to, and let them accept it willingly and happily.
It's good to let them earn money through their own labor now.
Once you earn money, you become reluctant to spend it.
He usually has no concept of spending his money; he just needs to act cute and unreasonable.
Mr. Ye had originally planned that they would be gone for ten days to half a month, but they returned on the fifth day, which made him overjoyed. It was as if the sun had risen in the west.
He happily went to greet her and helped Ye's mother carry her things. "What did you buy? You have so many bags and packages. Did you have a good time?"
"Happy my foot! I'm exhausted. I was just following those two brats around, and they would always squeeze into wherever there were crowds. I was so tired, I was afraid of losing them, otherwise I would be a sinner for all time and have to die to atone for it. I didn't dare to stay any longer and came back as soon as possible."
Ye Yaodong chuckled and teased, "Mother, you know quite a lot, don't you? You even know about sinners who atone for their sins with their deaths?"
"Isn't that what they say on TV? In this sweltering heat, nothing beats the comfort of being at home. Just stay home, watch TV, and eat watermelon. Life couldn't be better."
"I must have had nothing better to do than come here. Just the little ones have kept me so busy that I'm dizzy and my back aches. I'm not this tired even after a day's work at home."
After saying that, Ye's mother squatted down again, smiling ingratiatingly at Ye Xiaoxi, "Hey, sweetie, how about we go home to find your mother in a few days?"
Ye Xiaoxi shook her head vigorously, loudly refusing, "No! Mom said I can stay for two months until school starts. It's still early now, I don't want to go back."
Ye Yaodong patted her head, "Then wait until school starts before going back. I'll send you back ahead of time then."
“Mother, if you want to go back, you can go back by boat in a few days.”
Mother Ye hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, we're already here, how can we go back after only a few days? It would be so embarrassing if I went back alone."
"Then it's up to you. Now that you're back at the factory, you don't need to look after them much. Let them play by themselves. It'll be easier for you. I also have a TV in my room. You can watch movies there during the day."
"Could I also work in your workshop and earn two months' wages?"
Ye Yaodong: "..."
As Ye's mother got older, she no longer held a nominal position at the village committee. She just habitually went over every day to chat, and would also come over to watch the gossip and say a few words if anyone had any disputes.
Anyway, rural areas aren't that particular, and things aren't that standardized.
"Do I lack you for food or drink? Why do you still want to work in my workshop to earn wages? You don't know how to enjoy the good life of a boss's wife, and you insist on suffering instead."
Mother Ye thought about it and realized she was right; after all, she was the boss's mother!
Working alongside factory workers in the workshop, what kind of image would that have? How undignified would that be?
After being here for a few days, all the factory workers greeted her with smiles and called her "boss lady."
"That's it."
"Just look after the kids, and I'll still pay you a month's wages."
Mother Ye waved her hand, "No, I don't want that. It's ridiculous to ask for money to take care of my own grandchildren. People will laugh at me. I'm obsessed with money. Alright, go ahead and do your work. I'll take them to pack up."
"it is good."
