Chapter 171 Changing Ships

Early the next morning, before the tide came in, the couple took the child to Mother Ye and headed straight to town.

The last ten beads were sold for 1,200 yuan under Ye Yaodong's persuasive tongue.

Their Hai Qingsha Town was a port town, and there was not only one jewelry store in the town. He couldn't agree on the price of this store, so he wanted to go out and switch to another one without losing money.

Unexpectedly, I was stopped by the shop owner before I left the house, so I immediately agreed.

As long as the goods are good, the price is really easy to negotiate. After all, the value can be doubled several times after being made into jewelry.

Lin Xiuqing carried a huge sum of money in her pocket. For fear of losing it or encountering a thief, she kept one hand in her pocket and squeezed the money tightly, not daring to take it out along the way.

When she heard that Ye Yaodong was going to buy maltose for the children, she was a little reluctant, "Let's come again next time? Let's go home early. It's not safe outside. What if it's gone..."

"It won't take long, and we won't be far away. The children at home all know that we are coming to the town. If we go back empty-handed, they will make a fuss and say that I am not trustworthy. This time there are not two, but eight. , It’s going to be a big change.”

"Then...then hurry up, let's buy it and go home right away."

"I know."

With both excitement and nervousness, Lin Xiuqing breathed a sigh of relief after the couple arrived home safely.

One thousand two hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. An ordinary family may not be able to save enough in two years without food or water.

As soon as Sister-in-law Ye and the others saw them coming back at the door, they quickly asked with eager eyes: "Have you sold it? How much did it cost?"

Second Sister-in-law Ye said in a sour voice: "There are still hundreds of them, right? I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich."

"Haha, let's take it and take a look." After saying this, Lin Xiuqing quickly pulled Ye Yaodong into the house.

After taking out the money from her pocket and counting it again, she happily put it back in the drawer and locked it.

These days, every household does not have the habit of depositing money in the post office. Instead, they keep whatever money they have at home.

"How much money does our family have now?"

Speaking of this, he felt a little ashamed. Since he asked at the beginning and was rebuffed by her, he didn't dare to ask how much money his family had.

Just be responsible for making money.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him with a smile, "Why do you ask? No matter how much money your family has, you have to work hard and earn money to support your family."

"Earn it, I must earn it and work it. Aren't you curious? I know how much wealth I have so I can figure it out."

Hearing him talk about his plans, Lin Xiuqing also remembered what Azheng said at noon yesterday, and said seriously: "Do you really want to change to a bigger boat? Isn't this small wooden boat good now? It's enough. It hasn’t been open for a few months.”

"It's enough, but I can't go to the sea too far. I can only wander around, surf the sea, collect ground nets, and the daily harvest is limited. I am very lucky."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"What I want to do depends on how much money my family has." Ye Yaodong looked at her innocently.

Originally, he didn't plan to put the matter of changing ships on the agenda so soon. He wanted to slowly accumulate a little more, so that he would have enough money on hand to change ships, but also have some room left in case of the child in her belly.

….

Regardless of whether he can be born safely or not, adults must ensure it.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Instead of asking grandpa to sue grandma when the time comes, it is better to make plans in advance.

Now that she is determined to sell pearls, she must make good use of the money. Money is a dead thing and will not make money if left alone, so it must be used.

If, combined with what his family had saved during this period, he could change the ship and still have enough money to protect her, then he would want to make arrangements.

Lin Xiuqing thought about it and felt that he earned all the money, so it was better if he didn't ask. Now that he asked, she had to tell him, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to change to a tin boat.

"Including the money from selling pearls that just came into the account, the family has more than 3,600 in savings."

"so much?"

Ye Yaodong stared, has he earned so much?

"Not all of it is earned by you. There are also hundreds of dollars that I earned from weaving nets in the past few years."

He happily held her cheek and kissed her hard, "Thank you for your hard work. I thought it would be a lot for us to have over 3,000 yuan in our hands, including the pearl sellers today."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily, then wiped her cheek, "How can someone like your son still have Laker saliva on his face?"

"Haha, it's not like you haven't eaten before?" Ye Yaodong said seriously after laughing, "I want to discuss with you, how about we sell the small wooden boat and replace it with a second-hand iron boat?"

"Are you going to drag the net?"

"I have already hired someone to make the hooks. I want to try longline fishing. The longline fishing is very good. I can get one or two thousand hooks and go to a farther sea area with richer resources. It will definitely not be bad." If it’s not ideal, then just use a trawl net. Anyway, it won’t be any worse than using a small wooden boat to place a cage on the ground.”

"Don't you want the floor cage? My eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law are still doing it there..."

"They must do what they are doing, and they will still be paid. We can't let them work in vain. Even if they finish what they have, there will be no more. Anyway, there are only 6 rows of floor cages, not much. It will only take two hours to collect them on the way back. , you can do this for the time being. If you are too busy, you can resell it later, and you won’t be afraid that no one will want it.”

Lin Xiuqing lowered her eyelids and thought for a while, it seemed that it would not be a bad idea to change to a tin boat.

"You can change it if you want. How can you work alone at sea? A boat must have two people. It's not convenient for me now. I have two small children at home..."

"This is simple, let's hire someone. There are many workers in the village, so hire one at a time. The salary can be calculated by month or day."

If calculated on a monthly basis, it will cost about 60 yuan a month. If calculated on a daily basis, it will cost about 3 yuan a day. After all, you have to go to sea and there are risks, so the wages must be higher than other jobs.

Three days for fishing and two days for drying nets. There will always be a few days in a month where there are strong winds and waves. After deducting this, in comparison, there is not much difference between monthly and daily calculations.

Lin Xiuqing nodded. Since he had already thought about it well, she had no reason not to support him.

Buying a boat is much more reliable than investing it with your second sister-in-law. At least the money is given out, you have the boat in hand, and you can make money steadily with your own hard work.

My cousin said it sounds like an investment, but I gave the money, but I don’t know anything about it, and I won’t know what it will be like when the time comes.

I don’t know what the second sister-in-law was thinking, and she didn’t listen to her advice. The eldest sister-in-law was usually a sober person, but this time she was actually moved.

….

Feeling that her mind was drifting away, Lin Xiuqing quickly brought her thoughts back.

"Okay, then you go tell your parents tomorrow and give them a warning in advance. Buying a boat is not a trivial matter. You have to let them know. By the way, let dad help you find out who has second-hand boats to resell. Dad must know more people than us and understand more, so we will have to ask him to help with the eyes when the time comes."

"I know this, as long as you support me." Ye Yaodong grinned happily.

After dinner, Ye Yaodong saw that it was still early. Since he had made up his mind, it was better to go to the old house sooner rather than later. There was no need to wait for tomorrow. After dinner, he went to his old house.

He told Father Ye and Mother Ye what he was thinking, which also showed that the couple had discussed it.

Father Ye couldn't believe it for a moment. The third child was walking a little too fast, wasn't he?

The boss and the second child still want to follow him and share some money.

As soon as the old San, who had been idle in the past, started to get serious, he caught up with him in just a few months. He actually changed from a small wooden boat to an iron boat in one step.

Ye Mu was also very surprised.

The son who hates the fact that iron cannot become steel is more successful than the calm eldest son and the honest second son.

Even Ye Huimei was surprised. When did the third brother become so rich? Can you change to a bigger ship?

The one who was least surprised and happiest was the old lady.

When she heard this, she immediately burst into laughter and pulled Ye Yaodong to praise him desperately, saying that he had made great achievements and was so powerful that he actually wanted to change to a bigger ship. It was really a blessing from his ancestors...

Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed by the old lady's praise, but he just changed to a larger boat. The old lady seemed to have done a lot of work for him and said he would make more achievements. She also said that she would burn incense for his grandfather and tell his grandfather...

"Are you serious?"

Although what he just said was extremely serious and serious, Father Ye still wanted to ask for sure.

"Of course, can I still come here to tease you? It's not good for me. I might even get a beating."

This kid just said a few serious words and then he said this again.

"Speak nicely and tell the truth!"

"Oh, I'm telling you. Dad, please help me find out. You are the backbone of our family. You know more people than I have ever eaten. Please help me find out if there is a suitable boat. If not, It doesn’t matter if you wait, it’s not urgent.”

Ye Mu quickly asked him, "Dongzi, do you have enough money? Although it is second-hand, it is not cheap. The machine is expensive."

"It's enough. We sold the oyster pearls today. It should be enough. If it's not enough, it's okay to go to a friend to get some temporarily."

Of course, you can't talk too much. It's normal to piece together things here and there.

Ye Huimei's eyes lit up when she heard that he sold the oyster pearls. She had 4 of them in her hand. She wanted to ask him how he sold them, but she felt that it was not appropriate to ask at this time, so she swallowed it back and waited. After they had discussed the important matters, it was not too late for her to ask again.

But before she could ask, Mother Ye asked first.

Ye Yaodong told the truth about going to sell pearls in the afternoon. Only then did his family understand. No wonder he had money to change ships.

If the third child is serious, he still has this kind of wealth luck.

Father Ye thought so in his heart, and agreed with his words, "Okay, since you have all discussed it and decided to change to a larger iron boat, then I will ask someone to ask, pay attention, and let you know if there is any news. .”

"What are you going to do with your little wooden boat?" Ye Mu asked.

"With the new boat, this little wooden boat should no longer be used. How about I return it to you? Are you going to sell it? Or you can see if you want to take it back to the eldest brother or the second brother. Anyway, at that time, my mother, you They didn’t confiscate my money and just treated it as a loan for a few months.”

Ye Yaodong didn't care which brother his parents gave it to, he had taken advantage after using it for free for so long.

Ah Qing probably doesn’t have any objection either.

Return to the small fishing village of 1982.
