Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1154 Returning Home (Changed, refreshed)
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "Why would I lie to you? There is nothing to brag about. Although I gave myself the status of going out, what everyone said is true. It's just that you underestimated me."

"You're laughing so much, you don't look like a boss, so I thought you were bragging."

"You seem to be very talkative, and you don't look like a boss."

Fang Jingfu glared.

"Do you want to come home with me and visit my hometown?"

"Forget it. I have so many things to do that I don't even have time to eat. I didn't even have lunch."

"I haven't eaten either." Ye Yaodong stretched his neck and looked towards the door again, "No movement yet?"

"How can it be so fast? I just came over and sat down."

"What are you going to do with the family that reported it?"

"Spend some money to hire two people to watch their house. If they are caught doing anything illegal or criminal, then forget about it. If not, teach them a lesson so that they know who to mess with and who not to mess with."

"Then wouldn't it be better for your workshop to register as a company? Otherwise, similar incidents will happen again and you will be treated as an example."

“The policy does not allow it.”

Ye Yaodong had a confused look on his face. As a peasant, he really didn't understand these policies and rules, and he had never tried to learn about them. Everything he had now was done one step at a time, and it was all a makeshift team.

I really don’t understand the policy changes in this era. After all, every year is different, and the policies are changing every year.

All the policy changes he knew about now were learned from newspapers. He didn't know when any policy would come into effect, nor did he know what the current restrictions on businessmen were.

Although business is encouraged, the scale is still restricted to prevent it from developing into capitalism. He really doesn't know how many people are allowed to be self-employed. He didn't expect that a small workshop would have to seek shelter.

Fang Jingfu saw the puzzled look on his face and knew that he knew nothing.

"I don't really understand this, but there are scale limits. You can't have too many people, otherwise you'll be labeled a capitalist and end up in trouble."

"Oh, then we'll just have to wait a few years."

"Well, there were only a few people at the beginning, and then we gradually called in a few more people, but it wasn't much. It's just that the number of orders has increased now, and we can't handle it. Then there is extra space on the site. I saw that there was a canopy, which was quite hidden. Who knew that there would be a problem today."

"Anyway, if they can be put back, it's just a false alarm and not a big deal. Otherwise, all your things will be confiscated."

"Well, now basically you just need to find someone, find some connections, and spend some money, and then you'll probably be fine. Policies are changing every day anyway."

Ye Yaodong thought that after the people were released, they would pack up and leave tomorrow. When they had sold out a batch of goods, they would come back to see the house and the goods.

"I'll leave you the phone number of our village committee. Once my father and the others are released, we'll probably pack up and go back early."

"confirmed?"

"It's confirmed. I was planning to go back in the next two days. It has been raining intermittently, and the weather has become a little cooler recently. Although it is still hot during the day, I don't know when it will rain again. If it rains, it will not be suitable for us to go out to sea. We should go back early. Otherwise, with so many workers staying for one more day, my expenses will increase by dozens of dollars. I have been here for such a long time, and the harvest is also very good. I can't be too greedy."

"Okay, the only way to contact me is through the institute's phone number. If you have anything to say, just call and leave a message. When this incident is over, I'll write an application report and see if I can install a phone here. This will be more convenient. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for me to take on work."

"You really need to make a call."

“Apply later and see.”

The two talked for a while, but there was still no movement at the door. Ye Yaodong became restless again and stood up and paced back and forth.

Fang Jingfu had no choice but to pat his chest and guarantee that he would be released today and would definitely not spend the night in there. He also said that even if he was released, it would take an hour or two to walk back, which was not that fast, so he should wait patiently or go cook first.

But since the person was not released yet, Ye Yaodong had no time to cook or eat. His father had been sent to prison for the second time, and he must be very dejected.

He is a very respectable man, but now he was arrested again along with the boatman. A few days ago, I heard that he was President Ye, and his father was almost shaking with fear. Now he is probably going to be beaten back to his original state and become listless.

I might not want to come next time.

This is a sad and shameful place for him, and all the stains on his life are here.

They sat there waiting and waiting, and even Fang Jingfu could hardly sit still anymore. When he was about to make a phone call to ask, he finally heard a noisy movement at the door.

"came back?"

Ye Yaodong reacted excitedly and stood up immediately. The chair behind him fell to the ground with a bang. He did not even bother to help it up and immediately walked towards the door.

Fang Jingfu also went out with them. Seeing that only a few of Ye Yaodong's workers had returned, he asked hurriedly, "Where are the others? Why are you the only ones back? Have the others been released?"

"They have all been released, and the others have gone back to their homes."

"Are you all going back?" He looked up at the setting sun. It was about to set, so there was really no need to come here, and then they would have to walk back home.

Ye Yaodong asked: "Is everyone okay? Did everyone get out safely?"

Father Ye waved his hands dejectedly, "We stayed in there for a day and nothing happened, and then they let us out. All the workers were also released and went home."

"That's good."

Fang Jingfu looked at the policeman standing by the door and said, "It's all right here. They were all released safely, which means there's no need to guard them anymore, and there's no need to check them anymore. You can go back and report, and you don't have to guard here anymore."

The policeman guarding the gate nodded, then walked towards the back door, ready to call another person and go back to ask.

Ye Yaodong led a group of people into the house first and asked about their situation after being taken to the Public Security Bureau.

"Were you interrogated?"

"Yes, after we were arrested, they took us in for interrogation one by one. However, they didn't necessarily understand the Mandarin we spoke. Later, they got impatient with us, so they locked us up first and went to interrogate the workers."

"We didn't know anything after that. We just kept waiting in the small room until someone came to let us go and told us we could leave. Then we all came out together."

Father Ye looked at Ye Yaodong with a worried look on his face, "Now that we are released, we are completely safe, right? They won't come to arrest us again, right? Or should we hurry home at night?"

"Oh my, I really can't stay here for a moment. It happens again and again, it's either this or that. Why do they arrest people for no reason? The police in this place are too cruel. We are fine at home, but as soon as we come out, they arrest people indiscriminately..."

"Yeah, why don't we go back quickly? We should leave as soon as possible. Who knows if they will deliberately make trouble and arrest us again tomorrow?"

"Let's go back at night, ah-dong?"

They all looked at him pleadingly. Could he say no?
Ye Yaodong originally thought that since everyone was coming back today, he could just take a day off tomorrow, relax his tense nerves, go shopping, buy some local specialties, and then leave tomorrow night.

Since everyone is so eager to grow wings and fly back, there is no need to go shopping for local specialties, since we have already gone shopping there some time ago.

He nodded, "Okay, I was planning to go back in the next two days. Since everyone is eager to leave right away, let's pack up and leave at night. Leaving early will also allow you to feel at ease sooner."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

No one likes to stay in the Public Security Bureau. They will be scared to death after going in once, not to mention that some people are like Ye's father, who has been there twice.

There's no such thing as a third time. Anyway, the weather has started to get cooler recently, so I should go back as soon as possible. I've been out for quite a long time and it's already the middle of the month.

"Okay, then let's all pack our things and leave at night."

Everyone took action immediately.

Fang Jingfu had been standing aside and watching, and only then said: "Since everything is fine, I will go back and find out how the matter was resolved first. If you leave at night, I won't be able to see you off..."

"It's okay, it's okay. You don't have to see me off. We always go out to sea at midnight, and we have to leave at midnight as well, so that we can get home before dark tomorrow. I'll leave this house to you to take care of. Just call me if you need anything."

"When I get back, I'll call a few more people to continue the night shift, so that the house won't be left unattended."

"it is good."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first, and have a safe trip."

"well."

In fact, Fang Jingfu was also eager to go home. Before the person came back, he could wait patiently, but once the person came back, he could not sit still and had to go back to find out the situation.

Ye Yaodong closed the door to prevent the neighbors from looking at him. He was exhausted after a long day and he didn't have time to deal with other people.

He also had to go back to the house to pack his luggage and things, and settle the accounts. After dinner in the evening, he paid the workers' wages, which had not been settled for a month and a half.

Father Ye had packed his luggage and was sitting in the room sighing. Seeing him come in, he grumbled, "Don't come next time. This year doesn't look like a good year. It's only been a short time... Fifty or sixty years of peace and stability, and now you're getting old... Sigh..."

"It's okay. Just think of it as going in to see it. This kind of experience is not something that everyone can have. Now that we are old, it is also an experience to be able to experience something that others cannot experience..."

"What nonsense! Who wants to experience this? It's easy to say, but this is not a good thing. I would rather never experience this in my life."

"Don't worry. I promise no one will mention it when we get back. If you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know? You are still President Ye's father, and we can return home in glory and honor."

Father Ye sighed again, "At least he came out right away and didn't spend the night in there."

Ye Yaodong packed his luggage and put it in the password box, and said casually: "Yeah, there's nothing to do anyway, it's just like going in for a walk."

"You have nothing to do, of course it's easy to say."

"I explained and found the evidence, so I was let off the hook and was not arrested with you. Otherwise, I would have been arrested like you. I also told them that you are my father, but they didn't believe me and said I was kidding because we don't look alike."

Father Ye was choked and looked unhappy. He glared at him angrily, "You don't look alike. You are also my son. You just look more like your grandma when she was young. Your two brothers look like your mother."

"I know that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each son is different. As for my biological son, you are of course the father of the glorious President Ye. When you return to the village, you will be able to walk with the wind. What is this little experience now? You can still brag about it when you are old."

"It's such a shameful experience, there's nothing to brag about."

"You came out safely after two imprisonments. This is really amazing. Who can be like you? You went in with a swagger and came out with a swagger. Even the police can't do anything to you. Isn't this pretty awesome?"

The expression on Ye's father's face looked better after hearing what he said. He felt that what he said made sense. Who could go in and out several times like him and remain unscathed?
Most people would be so scared that their legs would go limp when they heard they were going to be taken away. Few people would have the same experience as him.

Ye Yaodong finished tidying up his clothes and shook a stack of banknotes in his hand twice, "I'll get paid later."

"Alright?"

"Not yet. The three old people who are at home looking after the house and cooking are easy to calculate. Just calculate the date until tomorrow. As for the ones who are going to work, I have to check the date and give them extra subsidies for going to work."

"How much red envelope do you plan to give?"

"Give each person 20 yuan, 10 yuan for 200 people, that's about right. We've been working for a month and a half, and you kept asking if we should give you red envelopes, so it can be considered accumulated. I was arrested again today, so I didn't lose money anyway."

"How much money did you make in the past month and a half? Have you calculated it?"

"More than 1 yuan, and the salary should be 3000 yuan."

“How much salary should be paid?”

"You think you don't want money? There are 10 of you and you're still talking about giving out red envelopes. You're even more generous than me."

Father Ye was speechless.

He didn't expect that the salary would be so high, several thousand yuan...

Ye Yaodong took out his notebook and did a simple calculation. In fact, he earned just under 2 yuan. He remitted 1 yuan back home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He spent 3000 yuan on a lighter and now has less than 5000 yuan on hand. He also spent a lot on food, drink and gas during this period.

There are 10 people, a total of one and a half months, the basic salary is just over 200 yuan, and there are 5 additional people who join in the work, and they get an additional subsidy of 300 yuan a day, so the subsidy here is about 20 yuan more, plus the red envelopes each person gets another 200 yuan, which means another yuan.

If his father gave him a little more, his salary alone would be around two thousand sixty or seventy.

After receiving his salary, he only had about 2000 yuan left, which meant he had little money left.

Father Ye listened to him calculating each person's salary, and after counting, he found that it was indeed more than 2000.

"Otherwise, you can just give me 5 or 10 yuan in a red envelope..."

"Is it worth seeing? Do you feel bad now? I paid 20 yuan when I went back two months ago. I made a lot of money this time. But before I went back, we were arrested again. Forget it, let's just pay 20 yuan. I'll only get 200 yuan more. Anyway, I made money and went home safely. I can fish again next year."

He has been arrested again and again. It’s better to give him more money to appease him. Otherwise, no one will dare to follow him next year. After all, they are always worried. Who knows if he will be caught again next time and will be so lucky to get out?
As a boss, you have to be nicer and more generous, so that people will follow you and continue to take risks and help you make money next year.

Ye Yaodong drew out ten big unity notes and gave them to his father. "This is for you. Hide it well and don't let my mother find out again. When you get your salary back, I'll give my mother another 300."

Father Ye took it cheerfully and said, "Don't give her so much. People who get involved in the water only get 300 or yuan, and even with the red envelope, it's not more than yuan."

"The worker is a worker. How can it be justified for me, your father, to give you a little more? Private money is private money, but you still have to pay a little more for the wages. You can round it up and give it to my mother."

"Okay, okay... Anyway, I've saved up all the money I gave her, and I'll leave some for you guys in the future..."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. Does he care if people talk like this every day?

He will leave it for everyone to share later. Half of their current savings were given by him. They are only in their 50s and may have another 30 years to live. If he is thinking about this money, there is no need to give it to them now. It is better for him to keep it for himself so that he does not have to share it with everyone.

"After you've packed up, go check if the meal is ready. I'm afraid they won't be in the mood to cook. I haven't eaten all day. You guys have food to eat in the prison, but I don't have any at home."

"Nonsense, what prison? That's not a prison, it's the Public Security Bureau..."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes... You guys provide meals when you go to the Public Security Bureau. I was hungry at home. If I had known earlier, I would have gone with you. This way, I wouldn't have to go hungry."

Ye's father stood up and kicked him hard. What kind of sarcastic remarks were these?

"Then don't run away next time."

"I didn't run away, do you want to do it again next time?"

"Bah, bad luck, don't mention it again, not even when we go back."

After saying this, Ye's father went out.

After Ye Yaodong finished the settlement, he counted the money in his hand one by one. He could just go out and give it to them one by one later, without having to count it for a long time on the spot.

Everyone's originally depressed mood suddenly became lively and excited when they saw Ye Yaodong coming out with a handful of cash.

"Everyone has worked hard over the past month and a half. Now we are going back soon. I won't say anything else. Anyway, I will pay everyone their wages. It can be regarded as a reward for their hard work during this period."

"No matter how much bullshit you talk, it's not as real as the money. I've calculated everyone's wages. When you get them, you can calculate them yourself. You should know how many days you worked and how many days you were in the water."

"I've also given each of you an extra 20 yuan red envelope as a reward, return, and compensation for your hard work during this period. This trip to the Public Security Bureau isn't a very glorious thing, so we won't mention it after we go back, and neither will I. Just think of it as making a lot of money and returning home in glory."

"When we come back next year, there won't be so many problems. Then we can all make a lot of money in peace."

"Come on, come on, it's time to give out money, it's time to give out money."

Ye Yaodong took the folded money and handed it to them one by one.

After getting the money, everyone's mood brightened up and they started counting the money with their fingers wet with saliva.

After distributing the money, Ye Yaodong sat down to eat first, letting them count it slowly.

Father Ye also sat down, and put down the chopsticks he had just picked up when he suddenly thought of something. "We're going back at night, so you won't be able to say goodbye to your boss in advance, right?"

"I went there in advance to tell him about it when it was raining two days ago. On the day I went to the association to ask for a few months' leave, I also went to the Coast Guard to tell him about it. Otherwise, I was afraid that I would not be available at the last minute."

"That's good. Otherwise, we would just walk away without informing them or saying anything. It would be so heartless."

"I told you in advance that we just got arrested again today. He probably knows about it and should understand our eagerness to leave overnight."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone who was counting money, "After counting, sit down and eat. After eating, we have to sort out our things from the sea. Take back everything that should be brought back. The next time you come, you have to wait until next year."

Everyone just nodded and continued counting their money, and he didn't care.

After everyone finished counting the money, someone suddenly whispered, "Adong, no one is here now, but the lighters and other things are all here, do we want to take some..."

Everyone was eager to hear this, and everyone looked at each other.

"This one can be sold for seven or eight yuan...something just happened and there's no one guarding here..."

Ye Yaodong frowned and looked at the dark area in the yard and the pile of goods in the corner.

With so many goods, just taking a few of them would be enough to pay their monthly salary...

"Are there any of them coming over tonight?"

"How about we each take a few first? After we finish eating and clean up, we'll listen to you and see how much we should take?"

Everyone looked at him.

Ye Yaodong frowned, "They will come over in the evening. They said they will call the night shift people over later. All the boxes have been counted and sealed and piled in the corner. If there is anything missing..."

"Why don't we just take the unsealed boxes? Something unexpected happened this morning and no one was able to take care of this place. How could we know how much goods we made today? There were also some unsealed boxes last night that were not enough."

"Yeah, even if we didn't take anything, they would definitely think we did. After all, you're the only one here today. And in the past one or two hours, everyone has come back, and no one is here to watch. If we didn't take anything, they would probably think we took something."

"Yes, no matter if we take it or not, people will definitely think we did, so we might as well take a little to make up for the loss. Otherwise, if we don't take it, people will think we did, so we might as well take it, at least we won't lose anything."

"Adong, don't think about it. We don't know when someone will show up. If we want to take something now, we should take a few each and hide them. If everyone takes less, they will definitely not be discovered."

Everyone was encouraged and eager to get in, looking at the pile of goods with envy.

Everyone has a greedy side, especially when something is right in front of them and they are encouraged by the people around them, the evil thoughts are infinitely magnified.

But he still shook his head.

"We can't move them. They must have counted and sealed the boxes yesterday. They were also reported early this morning. We didn't make many. If we move them, they will definitely find out."

If one person takes 5, that would be 50, which is not a small number. If the boxes are not sealed, there must be only a small amount left. How can't you see it?

He also thought that if this batch sold well, he would come back to purchase more, and perhaps even plan to invest in it.

If you get caught doing this, there's nothing to talk about.

He didn't need the money. The wages and red envelopes he had just given to these workers were enough. There was no need to steal some and ruin his character.

Although he was not a good person and was greedy for money, there was no need for him to take so many things. Besides, he was not the one who took them, but asked his subordinates to take them.

This will not do him any good. If it is exposed, he will be blamed.

And he was about to leave, and the house was still in someone else's hands. Just because he stole a few lighters, the house was gone. Is he crazy?

The two thousand in his room were considered a bargain for him.

Looking at the guys who were ready to make a move, he said, "Forget that you were arrested today? Fang Jingfu is not a fool. Be honest. If you don't want to be arrested again, don't touch those things. He has a background."

"If you move, you'll be discovered. People will probably be here soon. Let's have our meal. We've just been released. Don't cause any trouble. It's good enough if you return safely. I haven't reduced your salary either."

Everyone started to hesitate when they heard this, and with regret they withdrew their gazes, not daring to make any more random thoughts.

"Ok."

Originally, no one had any bad intentions at the beginning and just happily took the money. It was only after the instigation of a voice that their greed was aroused, otherwise no one would have had this idea at the beginning.

Ye Yaodong also remembered the first person who spoke and the person who agreed. They haven't returned yet, so he won't know what to do until he returns.

He hadn't thought about this the whole day and hadn't thought about touching these things.

Fang Jingfu is not a fool. He came here and stayed for such a long time in the afternoon. Why didn’t he check if his goods were missing?
I came over in the afternoon and stayed with him for such a long time, chatting with him for such a long time. My attitude was very good and I kept comforting him. I'm sure I noticed that he hadn't touched these goods for most of the day.

"Everyone is greedy and lustful, but think about whether it's worth it first. Some of you have been imprisoned twice, so you'd better be honest and behave yourself."

Everyone nodded regretfully.

"let it go."

ps: My brain is a bit fuzzy.

Fortunately, I can read the comments and keep an eye on the feedback from the backstage. I will immediately correct the plots that everyone is uncomfortable with. Sorry, I will update more in two days as compensation.
