Chapter 1126 Supervisor
Lin Xiuqing's face was full of smiles, and she glanced at Ye Yaodong.
Then she said very politely: "Your father is the head of the family. We all listen to your father. The money is earned by your father, so of course he has the final say."
Father Ye also glanced at Mother Ye at this time.
Mother Ye's eyes also slanted over, "What are you looking at? The old house is just you and me now. Do you want to manage the money or manage..."
The old lady interrupted them, "You are eating here now, and you will live here for the next two days. In the future, you will definitely live with Dongzi in your old age, eat his food, drink his food, and live in his house. Of course, he is the head of Dongzi's family, and you will have to listen to him in the future."
Mother Ye pursed her lips, "Everyday Dongzi Dongzi, luckily I gave birth to him, otherwise I would be so angry."
Ye Yaodong looked at the picture and the style changed suddenly, and he also shouted, "Eat, eat."
With this interruption, the dinner table became lively, happy, and not so serious. Several children also happily laughed and scrambled for food.
"This is the fish I picked up!"
"This is the shrimp I picked up."
"This drunken shrimp, children can't eat too much, you eat less."
"I'm not afraid!"
The rain stopped only the next day after the typhoon, and the village was still busy everywhere. Some people were repairing houses, some were repairing tiles, some were cleaning, and some were rebuilding walls.
It looks like post-disaster reconstruction. As long as there are no casualties, everyone still has a vision of life on their faces.
The roads were cleaned by the villagers as soon as possible. Everyone swept the front and back doors by themselves. As long as they didn't look at everyone's roof, the village would return to its original appearance.
While the villagers were working for their own families, they also discussed the return of others. Those who didn't come back also had various relatives in the village.
After their father Ye pushed two carts of tiles back, the three brothers of Ye Yaodong all helped work in the old house. They all had to go up to the beams to help lay tiles. It was easier to make the doors and windows glass directly by asking someone to make them.
Ye's mother spent a lot of time to tidy up the house. Each room was in a mess, with debris blown in by the storm and broken tiles from the roof.
"Adong is a big boss now, why is he still climbing up and down to repair the roof?" The neighbors around laughed and joked.
Ye's mother laughed and said, "The big boss is also my son. He has to help with the housework. Otherwise, who can we rely on when we are old?"
"You two old people are so lucky. The three brothers are still busy with you when they are rich."
Ye's father also smiled, "Don't brag, it's just a few more boats than others, how can you be a big boss? You are still a fisherman, no different from everyone else."
"It's a lot worse. It seems that fishermen are different from fishermen. Can Adong be called a fisherman? A fisherman boss is more like..."
Ye Yaodong frowned. What? Why is he a fisherman boss again?
"No, no..." Ye's father was modest, but his expression was particularly enjoyable.
"Ah Hai is so old now. I heard that he works in a shipyard. That's amazing. He can work in a shipyard before he finishes his studies. He will have a stable job in the future..."
"He is really capable. He is only 15 or 16 years old, but he can learn skills in a shipyard. Your family is so promising. It's amazing..."
"Hehe, he is still young. He hasn't finished his studies yet. He just works as an apprentice in the shipyard to learn some skills. I don't know what he will be like in the future..."
"Not bad. It's a shipyard. It's so respectable. If you have a skill, you don't have to go out to sea to take risks..."
"That's true. We, the older generation, have no choice but to go through wind and rain for a bite of food. The younger generation can be more comfortable. Of course, don't follow our old path..."
Father Ye was chatting with other neighbors downstairs with a rosy face. So was Mother Ye. The couple listened to the neighbors' compliments and watched their three sons busy on the roof.
The two oldest grandsons, Ye Chenghai and Ye Chengjiang, were also sorting and handing over tiles, and Lin Guangyuan was also there to help.
When the neighbors were praising him, Ye Chenghai was still very shy and kept silent, so Ye Chengjiang would wink at Ye Chenghai from time to time.
Ye Chenghai clenched his fists and gestured at him a few times, and kicked him a few times, and the two brothers immediately started to laugh and play.
Lin Guangyuan said to Ye Chenghai with envy: "You are really amazing. Will you go to work in the factory directly after graduation next year?"
"I don't know. That's what my third uncle said."
"Damn it, if I had known I wouldn't have dropped out of school for two years. I am obviously two years older than you, but I am still in the third grade of junior high school like you. It's ridiculous to tell others."
"It doesn't matter. You will be a soldier in the future!"
"You haven't even started yet, and you still have to study for another year. It's so annoying."
"Don't worry. I will take you to see Captain Chen later. I heard this morning that he was repairing circuits in a nearby village."
"Good brother, then get to work..."
Lin Guangyuan instantly became energetic. He climbed up the ladder with a bucket of tiles and put them on the roof.
The three brothers worked for two days to make the roof of the old house look brand new. They laid new tiles and removed the old ones.
Father Ye was in a good mood when he saw it. "Now we can temporarily prevent water leakage for a few years. In the past, we patched up the leaks wherever they occurred, and they broke down every year. Now it's good. We can replace them with new ones at once, which saves trouble."
Ye Yaodong clapped his hands. "Last year, we replaced the doors and windows, and this year, the roof was replaced. Now it's good, and we can live here for another 20 years."
"More than that, we can live here until we die..."
"A-Dong's phone number...A-Dong's phone number..."
"Ah, do you have my phone number again?"
A group of people stood at the door and turned to look at the old man riding a bicycle.
"I just went to your house to call you. Your wife said you were at the old house. Come on..."
"coming."
Ye Yaodong watched him push the bicycle around a corner, get on it and walk away. He immediately trotted behind him, then jumped on and sat down.
The old guard was jumped by him unprepared, and the front of the car swayed and almost fell over. "You guy, why didn't you say anything when you jumped up? You almost fell down."
"Work on your technique, where's the call coming from."
"From the city."
Ye Yaodong thought, it was Ye Yaohai who called a few days ago, why must it be the popsicle seller today, right? So many days have passed.
After arriving at the village committee, he saw that the number left was different from the one from the previous few days. He called with great expectation, and it turned out to be the popsicle seller.
He said that after asking for a few days, he had news and asked him to go to the city and tell him face to face.
Ye Yaodong asked him to tell him directly on the phone now that it would take several hours to go to the city and back, which was a bit troublesome, but the other party refused and wanted to tell him in person.
As soon as he thought about it, he knew that he must be thinking about the red envelope, and he was afraid that he would not admit it after talking to him on the phone, and would have nowhere to find anyone.
He thought that he would be fine at home now, so he made an appointment to meet at the market at noon tomorrow.
This is about making him bigger and stronger, and the transformation from manual work to mechanization is still worth the trouble.
When he went back, he also talked to Lin Xiuqing, and then rode his motorcycle to the city early the next morning.
Just after the typhoon, the roads were full of potholes and mud, and motorcycles were afraid to ride too fast for fear of slipping.
This kind of weather did avoid flying dust, but the mud sprayed randomly, making it even dirtier. When a passing tractor drove by, not only the motorcycle was sprayed all over him, but half of his body was also sprayed with mud.
Ye Yaodong could only curse constantly along the way.
He only came to the city after he had cursed him dry, and half of his body was turned into a clay figure. Passers-by looked at him sideways, and for the first time they no longer looked envious.
As soon as the popsicle seller saw the motorcycle, he came up to him and looked at him in surprise.
Ye Yaodong held back his anger and said, "You'd better tell us something useful."
"It's useful, it's useful. Haha, the typhoon just passed and the road is really not that good."
Ye Yaodong just looked at him.
Seeing the unhappy expression on his face, the other party did not dare to talk nonsense and immediately said: "They bought the filling machine you mentioned in the provincial capital. I heard it was imported and very expensive. It is also available in the streets and alleys of the provincial capital. They sell ice bags of various flavors. I don’t know where to buy them in the provincial capital. I have to go to the provincial capital to find out.”
"Fuck, aren't you talking nonsense? There are some in the city, and there must be some in the provincial capitals. Just ask one of the provincial towns to buy them, and the others are gone?"
"Um... His family said that relatives in the provincial capital helped buy it. As for the factory, they didn't know which one. They just said it was a machinery factory."
Ye Yaodong was speechless, that's it?
"Do you know how many hours it takes me to drive to the city? How much fuel does it cost? You just told me it was a machine factory in the provincial capital without even a name?"
"I definitely won't tell the name of the place so clearly, to prevent others from stealing my business. And besides the person who bought it, who would remember it so well? I definitely wouldn't tell my family so clearly, even if I did. , I will only remember it once and then forget it. After all, the provincial capital is not accessible to ordinary people. Most of the folks have never left this city in their lives. I have been waiting for you here for a long time, and I have tried my best to help you. I asked around..."
Oh, forget it, after all, people spent effort to inquire, and ran around and waited here. Ye Yaodong touched his pocket and handed him two yuan casually, and regarded it as payment for his hard work.
"Okay, what you said is of no use to me at all, just treat it as hard work."
The hawker received the money and said happily: "The boss is indeed trustworthy. What I just said was from my mother's inquiry, but I think they are lying and just talking nonsense. There are several relatives in their family who are involved in smuggling. If you ask me, they must have smuggled it over, not bought it from a provincial machine factory."
Ye Yaodong looked at him in surprise, "Good guy, you still have something to offer?"
"Hey, this is what I guessed after all. However, there was a typhoon in the past two days, and the roof of their house was blown off and the glass was broken. I took the opportunity to run over and take a look, and saw the machines in their workshop through the window. There are English letters on it.”
"If I don't give you money and scold you, will you stop talking?"
"Haha, no, it's just my guess after all, and I really don't know where I bought it, and I don't have any real and accurate information."
"No wonder you asked me to come over and say, two dollars is not wasted. Come on, come with me to the store. You can get me a pen and paper and draw it. What does it look like?"
If he said this on the phone, who would care about him?
He's quite naughty, he knows how to talk to someone face to face, and he also knows that one person should say it first and the other person should talk about it later.
"OK."
After paying the money, the service was indeed different and easier to talk to.
The vendor actively followed him to the store, and then looked around in amazement. He also drew an abstract machine pattern on a book for him. Although it was a bit abstract, like a primary school student's drawing of lines, he could barely make out a shape. What does it look like.
"Your painting is a bit abstract, so-so, and you can barely understand the shape..."
"Hey, after all, I just went to elementary school and barely know a few words. The boss is so awesome. Is this your store? I heard that there are thousands of people in each store here..."
"What's your name? How old are you?"
"Wang Jianxin, 18 years old."
"There's a job, do you want to do it?"
"What kind of job? I make pretty good money selling popsicles every day."
"You can only make a profit from selling popsicles for one summer. Or is it because we are neighbors near that small workshop and take advantage of the cold weather?"
Wang Jianxin rolled his eyes and looked at Father Lin and Mother Lin who were greeting customers at the side, "Does the boss want me to watch the store?"
"It's not your turn to do this job. I want you to work as a supervisor for me for a few months. There is a piece of land nearby that I want to enclose and build a warehouse and a house. I don't have time to stay here for a long time. "Everyone else has other things to do, and they don't have time to watch all day long."
Ye Yaodong also came up with the idea on the spur of the moment after seeing this boy's agility and cleverness.
The land next to it needs to be leveled and rebuilt. It really needs to be watched by people, so as to save people from having to do foreign work. My father-in-law and brother-in-law have to be busy with their respective shops, so they can't watch there all day long. At most, he could take a look when he had free time in the afternoon. It would be better for him to find someone, and it would be better to find a local.
When I came to the city a few days ago, I asked my brother-in-law to help find people from the village to renovate the land. Then there was a typhoon, and it probably hasn't started yet, so I just asked someone to watch it.
"September will soon be here, and you can only sell popsicles for another month at most. I'll give you 40 yuan a month, and you can just watch the workers work, record their attendance days, and don't let others work for you."
"Just watch?"
"Yes, there are other workers doing the work."
Wang Jianxin happily agreed, "Okay, okay, yes, I will give the job of selling popsicles to my younger brother at home. The two of us use one bicycle, and let him sell by the market here, and then I will go to the construction site to watch." "
"Let's go then, I'll take you to the open space to take a look."
Ye Yaodong also looked at his father-in-law, "You haven't started working yet, have you?"
"No, I had already set a date for starting construction, but a typhoon came, so I went to swing a hoe a few times as a date. I planned to wait until the weather gets better in the past two days before letting the villagers work. I'll go with you. "
Father Lin saw that there was no one in the store at noon, so he went with them. By the way, he also took Wang Jianxin to meet the master worker to discuss which day he would work.
Ye Yaodong followed and watched as they got to know each other and arranged a time to work together. After nothing happened, he planned to go home.
Today is not in vain. At least there is an explanation for the work in the open space here, and there is a supervisor to supervise the work. My father-in-law and brother-in-law only need to come occasionally to see if the work is actually started. There is no need to keep an eye on it. After all, people's energy is limited. , and you can’t call them anything.
It’s also easier for locals to speak to locals.
"Thank you, Brother Dong."
"Work hard. Record your attendance for me. Don't mess up the accounts. I will come over often when I have time. If you cheat and lose this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to find such an easy job in the future. Work hard now, and you will be in the warehouse later. Once it’s built, someone needs to be watching over here.”
Wang Jianxin immediately nodded, patting his chest and promising, "Of course, I will do my job well, and I will definitely keep the pie in the sky."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong nodded, got on his motorcycle and went home directly.
When I went there, the left half of my body and the motorcycle were sprayed with mud. When I walked back, the same half was still wet. It was already dry and wet again.
When he got home, some children at the door were screaming strangely.
"Uncle Third, did you fall into the pit?"
"Ah, my motorcycle...Dad...why don't you take good care of it...and it ended up like this..."
Ye Yaodong frowned and looked at Ye Chenghu speechlessly, "Whose motorcycle is it?"
"It's from our family! I'm just expressing my exclamation. Dad, did you fall? How did you end up like this?"
The old lady came out immediately and pulled his clothes here and there to see, "Why is it like this? It's covered in mud and yellow mud from head to toe."
"It's okay, the ground is full of potholes, and it's easy to splash when a car drives over it. Some large tractors drove by and sprayed me all over."
"Oh, that's okay. Then go wash it off quickly and I'll wipe the car for you."
"I'll come, I'll come, I'll wash the car..." Ye Chenghu immediately rushed into the house to get a rag.
Ye Chengyang also followed him, "I also want to help wash..."
"I'll wash your car too."
When each one gets older, it becomes difficult to bark, and that's when they become so active.
Ye Yaodong happened to take advantage of the situation and threw the car to them for cleaning.
Lin Xiuqing was cooking dinner in the house and looked at him in surprise as he was covered in mud, "Why is he in such a mess?"
"Um."
He explained and told her about the situation in the city.
"Ah, do we have to ask Lin Ji? Let's see if he knows about the filling machine?"
"I think so too, but who knows when I will meet someone. Ever since I learned that a lighthouse was going to be built in the sea outside the town, I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Go to his house and leave a message for his wife, and ask again when you get back."
"We'll go after dinner later."
Now this kind of industry has just started in China, and he also feels that it is not developing that fast yet, and most of it still has to be imported from abroad.
"Wouldn't it be good if you just hired someone to be the supervisor?"
"Otherwise, your parents will have to look after the shop. Your eldest brother also has his own shop to work on and a house to build at home. We can't call them everything, let alone leave it to the villagers to make them realize themselves. We must let them People watch.”
"It's good to invite an outsider to look at it. Let's take a look at it. In the future, someone will have to look at the warehouse. At that time, we will invite one from home and one from the local area, and we will work together to supervise each other to look at the warehouse."
Lin Xiuqing frowned and thought it made sense, "I just think it's a bit sloppy. Is it okay to ask one of the younger brothers at home to come over or ask someone from the village to come over and watch?"
"If the boats from the factory come back for rent in a few days, the boys at home will not be busy enough. A few of them already work three shifts. They go there and sit there all day long. I am afraid that they will not be able to stay. Live. They are barely adults, and it would be better to have company at home.”
"It would be more appropriate to hire a local person, who can also communicate better with the local villagers. After all, those villagers don't speak Mandarin. It's just a test anyway. If it's not suitable, just get out. My relatives are too embarrassed to tell people to get out."
She nodded reluctantly, "Okay."
"Anyway, he didn't let him handle the money. He just kept track of attendance and supervised people's work. It was nothing reliable. Your dad and your eldest brother could occasionally take a look at them when they were passing by on their way to and from work. And Wang Jianxin knew they were over there in the store. , and don’t dare to cheat.”
"good."
After Ye Yaodong cleaned himself up, he thought about going to Lin Jishang's house before dinner was served. When he walked to the door, he saw several children washing motorcycles until he was wet from head to toe.
"Aqing...Aqing..."
"ah?"
"Bring out the whip!"
"don't want……"
Everyone screamed and immediately dispersed, leaving only Ye Xiaoxi squatting beside the bucket with both hands still soaked in the bucket.
Ye Yaodong strode over to lift the person up, but she reacted slowly and turned around to run away.
He grabbed the collar of her clothes behind her back.
"Don't hit... give the dog a bath..."
Turning around, he discovered that there were two little puppies scratching inside the bucket.
"Damn, it's a good thing the dog knows how to paddle, otherwise I would have died playing for you."
Lin Xiuqing came out with a whip, took the collar held by Ye Yaodong, and hit her calf, "Playing in the water again, the dog can't change its habit of eating shit. It plays in the water every day, and even played in the mud in the afternoon."
Ye Xiaoxi immediately burst into tears and kept jumping with his legs to relieve the pain, "Don't hit, don't hit, it's not me, you have to... you have to..."
"You have to run away...you have to be bad..."
"You're playing with everything. You're wet from head to toe. In the blink of an eye, you're all dressed up again. How many clothes do you have to change in a day? Come inside."
"There's gotta be...ah...you've gotta run away..."
Ye Xiaoxi cried loudly, and her clothes were grabbed. She could only stagger and cry, turning her head to look at the door of the courtyard, and then she was dragged into the house.
Ye Yaodong took out the two dogs soaked in water in the bucket, watched them trembling, and quickly sent them to the kennel to wrap them in straw. The other dogs also came over, sticking out their tongues and licking his arms.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang, who were standing at the entrance of the courtyard, didn't dare to come in. They felt that there was no danger, so they cautiously called out, "Dad..."
"Do you want to come in now and get beaten, or do you want to wait until your mother has had enough to eat?"
"What didn't we do..."
"You're not doing anything, so why are you running?"
"It was you who yelled at me to get the whip, so we ran away."
"Then do you have a guilty conscience?"
Ye Yaodong went over, holding one in one hand, and dragged it into the house.
The one in the room was crying and jumping around, trying to hide behind the old lady, and kept shouting, "We have to run away..."
As soon as they were dragged to the door, the two brothers did not dare to go in. They clung to the cracks of the door, listening to the cruel screams that kept coming from the room, and kept twisting their heads outward, trying to run away.
"I don't want to go in...I don't want to go in..."
Lin Xiuqing turned to look at the door. Ye Xiaoxi also had tears in her eyes and hurriedly hugged her hand, "You have to come back, you have to fight... you have to fight..."
She whipped her backhand, causing Ye Xiaoxi's thighs to hurt. He quickly backed away in fear and hid behind the old lady.
"Dad... please let go, please let go..."
Ye Chenghu looked at Lin Xiuqing walking over with a whip, and pawed at the door in a panic, her fingernails turned white.
"It's none of my business..." Ye Chengyang also argued, "They made me wet..."
Not wanting to come in, Lin Xiuqing stood by the door and fought. This saved the old lady from coming to the rescue and they couldn't run around.
The two brothers were beaten in pain and screamed before they realized they couldn't get out, why not go in?
At least there was room to hide in the house, and I could jump up and down a few times. I was beaten hard by the door, but I couldn't escape at all.
Ye Chengyang was the first to let go and run into the house. Like Ye Xiaoxi, he hid behind the old lady.
Ye Chenghu only reacted after being whipped twice more, and quickly let go and ran towards the old lady.
"Oh, you ran away, why don't you remind me?"
Ye Chengyang had no time to reply. He looked warily at Lin Xiuqing, who was walking over, and tightly grasped the hem of the old lady's clothes behind her.
"Aunt, please help..."
The three children hid behind the old lady like chickens, and the old lady cooperated by spreading her hands like an old hen.
Lin Xiuqing was furious and yelled at the old lady to go away.
The old lady spread her hands and refused to leave. She moved left and right to protect the three little ones behind her, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, that's how naughty children are. Take a bath first, don't catch a cold..."
Ye Yaodong looked at them with amusement as they acted like a chicken catching a chick. He couldn't help showing his expression on his face, and then walked over to pull the old lady away.
"Hey, don't pull me, it will hurt them. Let them take a bath first..."
The three little ones also yelled and wanted to hide behind her, "No..."
Lin Xiuqing chased them and beat them, "We have been playing in the water for so long, why wait for a while? Beat them first, they are not afraid of being beaten all day, and they are getting more and more naughty..."
"Where is Ayuan? Why is he not with you?" Ye Yaodong realized that one of them was missing at this time.
Ye Chenghu said quickly, "He ran away with Brother Ahai, oh... Mom, don't beat him... It hurts..."
"It hurts so much, but you didn't cry. You are so thick-skinned."
Ye Chengyang immediately imitated Ye Xiaoxi and cried loudly. The two cried louder and louder.
Ye Chenghu screamed a few times, but he couldn't cry. He could only beat him once, then a sound of "ah", then a sound of "ah"...
The old lady was pulled by Ye Yaodong and stood there, unable to move. She couldn't protect him even if she wanted to. She just watched the three people jumping up and down and running around the room.
"Okay, okay, okay, we're done... We can do it after we're done..."
"You're wet. If you run again, you'll get a cold if you sweat..."
The three of them quickly climbed up the stairs, and Lin Xiuqing couldn't hit them with the whip until they were done.
Ye Xiaoxi climbed at the end, still howling, "You beat me... You beat me... Don't run..."
