Chapter 1572 Departure (Refresh)
There was a refrigerator hanging there, and the three of them would occasionally look up at it while doing their homework.
However, they also felt a sense of urgency. Their mother was already cooking, and they would eat as soon as she finished. After dinner, they could eat frozen jelly, which they could take to the door to eat and share with their friends.
Oh my god, just thinking about it makes me so excited, and I can write like a pro!
Finish your homework quickly, then you'll have plenty of time to go out and share with your friends after dinner.
Otherwise, if we dawdle, we'll waste time going out to play.
Ye Yaodong was bored, so he stood behind this person and looked around.
"That's rare, not bad at all..."
Ye Chenghu's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. He glanced at his father behind him, his grip on his pen tightening. "Dad, can you please stop circling around us? It's so annoying..."
Ye Xiaoxi also protested, "Yeah, you're affecting my homework! If I don't do well on my final exam, it'll all be your fault!"
"Such a big accusation? Why don't you just say that your poor grades in the future are all because of me?"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't stand it anymore either. "Stop bothering them. Let them do their homework and stop getting in the way. You can either go inside and lie down or go out for a walk."
“When I’m not home, you nag me about how I’m never around, but now that I’m right under your nose, you complain that I’m in your way.”
The old lady sat by the door, poked her head in, and called out, "Dongzi, hurry up and cut some water spinach. We'll stir-fry it tonight."
"coming."
Ye Yaodong responded towards the door, then looked at Lin Xiuqing, "I'll go do my work, okay? Give me the knife."
"I need the knife. You take the scissors and cut it. Remember to leave the root intact; it can grow back."
"know."
Ye Chenghu muttered to himself, "It's quiet now."
Ye Chengyang: "Shh~"
Ye Xiaoxi: "Write it quickly, or Dad will come again later."
Ye Yaodong turned around and glared at them.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the group of people with their heads down, muttering to themselves, and chuckled, thinking they hadn't heard her.
After dinner, he would leisurely sit at the doorway to enjoy the cool air, a rare treat for him.
I've been back for several days now, but it feels like I've been out all the time, either running around or drinking. It's so rare to be able to lie on a chair and enjoy the sea breeze.
A group of children not far away were divided into several circles, chattering about the refrigerator. His three children had once again stolen the spotlight.
He was beaming with pride, then went in and out of the house, constantly opening the refrigerator to take out jelly.
Lin Xiuqing was busy in the workshop and didn't keep an eye on them, otherwise she would have been scolded long ago.
Ye Yaodong also stopped them on several occasions when he saw them taking turns going in and out.
"If you keep opening it, the refrigerator will break. You'll be in big trouble then."
"I'm not opening it anymore, I'll just take it one last time..."
"Dad, there's no more jelly, it's all eaten..."
"No wonder."
They said they wouldn't open anymore, but they've already eaten everything, so of course they won't open anymore.
"Dad, buy some more jelly tomorrow!" Ye Xiaoxi hugged his leg and acted coquettishly.
"Not buying."
"Buy some more! It's so delicious!"
"No way! If we buy another one, the refrigerator will break!"
"No, we promise we won't open it."
"If it's not open, then there's no point in eating, so what's the point of buying anything?"
"Ah~ Ah~" Ye Xiaoxi whined sweetly, sitting on the back of his feet and shaking his legs.
"Oh, my leg is going to break. Go away and play by yourself."
"I want to buy it! I want to buy it!"
"Take your own money and buy it; I don't have any."
"Mother has money..."
"Then go find your mother."
"No, she'll yell at me."
"I'll curse at you too."
"Daddy~ Daddy~"
Ye Yaodong remained unmoved with his eyes closed.
She hadn't even had a chance to whine for long before she saw him close his eyes and decided not to persist anymore. She grumbled as she got off his lap and stomped her feet angrily.
Bang~
When Ye Yaodong got up, he saw that she had stepped on and knocked over the mosquito coil next to him.
Ye Xiaoxi looked at the mosquito coil ash on her feet, her face immediately scrunched up, and she was completely disgusted. Then she jumped up and down.
"Ah ah ah..."
"What's there to yell about? I haven't even scolded you for being clumsy yet. Just go wash your feet."
As he spoke, he put the mosquito coil tray back on and put the mosquito coil that had fallen out back in.
Ye Xiaoxi stomped her feet alternately, while her hands swung wildly, like a human-shaped wave drum, pouting and humming as she went into the house to wash her feet.
When she came out of the house with her feet still wet, she stomped her foot hard as she passed by him before going to play.
"Damn girl..."
Ye Yaodong chuckled and scolded her, then watched her turn around and happily started laughing and joking with a group of children again.
Just then, the phone rang inside the house.
The old lady struggled to stand up, but he said, "I'll go get her; she'll definitely be looking for me."
"Did your dad call you?"
"Very likely."
"Then I'll go pick it up."
"No need. I don't know if it is. If it is, I'll tell him to go up two days later."
"He's being so long-winded, he must have called to ask if you've left yet."
Ye Yaodong did not respond and quickly went inside to answer the phone.
Just as he expected, the first thing he heard was his father's voice.
"Dongzi, you set off to come up at night, right? Judging by the days, you should have left at night. You said you'd arrive within a week."
"I just got back from the city today, and I'm still not done with work. I need to stay for a couple more days."
"what?"
"I have to go to town tomorrow to discuss business. I need to arrange a special boat to bring the goods back. The factories in town are ordering a lot from Ah Cai. Bringing the goods back will make them more valuable and profitable."
"Huh? How much more money can we make from this shipment?"
"It'll probably be at least ten thousand yuan more, right? A ship carries about 300 tons of cargo. Selling it for just two cents more can make more than ten thousand yuan more. Some cargo can make more than two cents more."
Now Ye's father had nothing to say and dared not urge him any further.
They were afraid that urging him to come up now would affect his ability to make big money.
If you can make an extra ten or twenty thousand yuan from a single shipment, that's a lot of money.
"Then...when will you be up? I really can't handle this, I'm too busy."
"Aren't Chen Baoxing and the others there?"
"That's a huge headache for me too. There's so much cargo, and I'm afraid I might make a big mistake if I don't handle it properly. Each of your shipments is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I can't afford to take that kind of loss. Even a small loss would be disastrous."
While on the phone, Ye's father had already started pulling at his hair in a habitual manner.
This is a habit he has recently developed.
"I'll try my best to finish in two or three days and go up there. Just relax, it's okay. I can handle any losses. Don't put pressure on yourself, just focus on stamping."
"I'd like to sit here and stamp things in peace, but I have to wait for you to come back."
"Okay, I'll leave in three days at most. I'll call you before I leave."
"Alright, alright, this time you have to keep your word."
"Hmm, hasn't A-Yuan called these past few days?"
"No, I remember your instructions. I haven't received any calls from him, and neither has anyone else in the factory."
"Alright, then we'll just have to wait."
"Just wait, there's no rush for manpower right now. We're all in coastal waters, so we have enough people. The fish you kept on the boat are still alive and well."
"I understand. I'll deal with it when I get back."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yaodong noticed that the old lady next to him was craning her neck.
"Your dad didn't say anything? He didn't scold you?"
"No, I made up an excuse and explained it to him. We agreed to leave in three days."
The old lady nodded, "It's good that I can stay at home for three more days."
"Hmm, the mung bean soup should be chilled. I'll get you a bowl."
"Okay, it must taste delicious when it's ice-cold. I'm finally getting to enjoy this in my life, hehe..."
"This is nothing. There will be many more home appliances you've never seen before. The best you can enjoy is yet to come."
"Hey……"
What Ye Yaodong said to his father was not a lie; it was indeed true.
I expanded my network while drinking the other night. Everything was easy to talk about at the table, and everyone seemed interested.
He also plans to stay a few more days. The cooperation has been finalized, and after going up there, he will arrange for another shipment to come back.
His dad can be arranged to deliver it then. As long as the factory remembers which factory it is and how much goods it is, it will be fine. It will also allow his dad to relax when he comes back and brag for a few days.
We can't push the old man too hard; we need to let him relax a bit.
For the next two or three days, Ye Yaodong was basically not at home except for eating and sleeping, as he was busy with this matter.
Lin Xiuqing knew he was busy with important matters and wasn't just drinking, so she didn't complain about him. Every night when he came back, she would fetch water for him to wash his face, take a bath, and wash his feet, taking good care of him.
Anyway, as long as I go home to sleep every day, that's fine.
Ye Yaodong did indeed do it; no matter how much he drank, he would crawl back.
In the past few days, besides running around town, he also made several phone calls to Ah Cai's side, and managed to finalize the quantity and type of goods for each family before leaving.
After finalizing the quantity, Ah Cai transferred the remaining payment from a few days ago to the account he had given him.
Ye Yaodong also asked him for a deposit for the next shipment, and the other ships also required deposits. He couldn't bear the risk himself.
Fresh produce is not like other things; it's transported all the way back to make more money. Otherwise, it would sell just as well up there, so there's no need to make the extra trip.
The shipment a few days ago was the first time we shipped goods, and we needed to build trust, so we didn't ask for a deposit and only asked for payment upon delivery.
This won't do. We need to standardize things so that it's easier for him to hand over the goods to others later, and there will be a process.
No rules no standards.
After he finished recording all the goods, he also had Lin Xiuqing calculate it to figure out how much stock to prepare and how much profit to make on the next trip.
The old lady knew he was done with his work and would be leaving that night, and she felt a little reluctant to see him go.
"Or, should I tell your dad that things aren't going well and ask to stay a couple more days? If he scolds you, I'll go and tell him?"
"I'd like to, but I have a lot of things to take care of, and I have to go to Shanghai. I'm afraid staying a couple more days will cause problems."
"So busy? Always running around."
"Yes, we have a lot of ships and several factories on hand. Although we have a lot of manpower, we can't hand them all over to outsiders."
The old lady nodded in agreement, "That's right, we can't give it all to outsiders. It's a lot of money. Give more to your father. He won't harm you. Let him help you more."
“If I help any more, my dad will jump into the sea. I know what I’m doing. I’ll set off tonight, so don’t get up.”
"Hey……"
The three children stopped going out at night and stayed home listening intently.
But after listening for a long time, I still couldn't get to the point.
Ye Chenghu forced himself to speak, "Dad, we have our final exams next week. You'll be delivering goods again in a few days, right?"
The other two watched longingly.
"Don't worry, I will keep my promise. I'll have someone else pick you up when I deliver the goods back in a few days, even if I don't go with you."
Lin Xiuqing said, "Even if you don't come back, you'll still send Dad back, right? And Mom will go up there with you for a few days too, won't she?"
"Hmm, let's see if she wants to go. If she does, we can go together and help look after the kids."
"Then I'll tell her that you should go to sleep early, as we have to leave tonight."
"it is good."
Lin Xiuqing then said to the children, "Go out and play, don't disturb your father's sleep at home."
"okay."
Ye Xiaoxi hesitated and lagged behind, but eventually couldn't hold back and turned around.
"Mom, can I call my sister and tell her I'm coming up to visit her in a few days?"
"Why call? It's so late at night, and we have to send someone to call you. Just let your aunt answer the phone when she calls back."
Ye Xiaoxi pouted and stole glances at Ye Yaodong with her small eyes.
She knew it would be the same result again, which is why she hesitated.
Every time she says she wants to call her sister, her mother stops her. How awful!
But with her mother around, she didn't dare tell her father.
Ye Yaodong also received her look and knew what she meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Everyone in the factory is working. There are no idle people. We can't send someone to call someone for you just because of your trivial matter."
Ye Xiaoxi was disappointed. "Okay, I understand. I'll wait for my aunt to call back."
"You'll be finishing your exams in a couple of days and going up to university anyway, so you can give your sister a surprise then."
"Just imagine, when your sister suddenly sees you, won't she jump up in surprise?"
Ye Xiaoxi was happy just thinking about that scene, so she stopped insisting on calling in advance and went out to play contentedly.
Lin Xiuqing muttered to him, "She keeps talking about her sister all the time. She has a bunch of friends in the village, and she still thinks about her sister all the time."
“Xiaoyu is the same. Your daughter has a bunch of friends to play with in the village, but Xiaoyu doesn’t. I hear Huimei say every day that she keeps talking about her sister.”
"Then there are indeed no playmates."
"Everything looks quiet now, so I can only play with my two younger brothers."
"Once we get up there, there will be more arguments."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not the one taking care of it anyway, and I'm very busy, so it's fine to give it to Huimei."
"Alright, go to sleep now."
"Ah."
Lin Xiuqing checked the luggage again and was relieved to find that nothing was missing.
Ye Yaodong had forgotten about the black and white television several times, but this time he finally remembered to bring it.
It's just that he's too busy and doesn't have time to watch TV; if there's no need for it, it's easy to forget.
P.S.: I was a bit lazy today, I'll add another chapter later, at least 7000 words.
