Ye Yaodong smiled and explained to them, "We came from Zhoushi Fishing Ground and planned to go home for the New Year. We drove for too long. When we passed by here, we saw that it was getting dark, so we docked here to rest for a while.

We’ll leave the day after tomorrow.”

"Is that so...I asked you why you came back again after leaving. Why are you here in this winter? It turns out you are taking a rest..."

"Well, I'm going to find a tractor first. I won't have one if I'm late."

Ye Yaodong hurriedly went to find a tractor nearby. Fortunately, it was not too late for them to dock, and there was still a car to ride in. Otherwise, it would have taken more than an hour to walk to his house.

However, his house cannot accommodate more than 200 people.

After finding the tractor, they discussed it again. Those who could sleep on the boat would sleep on the boat first and deal with the night first.

Ye Yaodong himself had a lot of people and goods, so he simply arranged for the workers to sleep on the boat, and then some cousins ​​who were related to him followed him to his home.

Others can only let their own ship boss arrange to stay in a guest house.

The dozens of small fishing boats actually breathed a sigh of relief after they knew they were going to stay ashore for the night. The small boats were no better than their larger boats, and they still had a place to lie down and rest, and they were protected from the wind.

After everything is distributed, those who follow him back to live will get on the tractor, and the others will find a tractor to go to the guest house.

Watching him lead people on to the tractor and drive away, the people who were still looking for the tractor were extremely envious.

In my heart, I thought it would be better to follow Ye Yaodong. Everything was arranged properly. There was no need to blow the wind and I could rest immediately after landing...

And a group of them were still messy in the wind, looking for a car.

The people who went to the boat were redistributed and continued back to the sea after the car left.

There is nothing wrong with the boatmen sleeping directly on the boat, as it saves them the trouble of traveling around.

Ye Yaodong took a car with people, and finally arrived at the house in Wen City after experiencing wind and dirt.

It was pitch dark all around, with no light at all. In the middle of winter, I basically went to bed early after eating.

He opened the door with the key and let everyone in. The noise also woke up the twins. They thought they had been robbed, so they rushed out with a stick without even wearing any clothes.

"Ah, let me go, why is it you? Brother Dong, why are you here all of a sudden?"

"I was shocked. I thought I had been robbed."

"What kind of thief dares to make such a big move?"

After speaking, Ye Yaodong assigned rooms and asked everyone to live there for one night before looking at the twins.

"You two should also pack your luggage. If I go back, I will take you back with me to save you from being unable to go back during the Chinese New Year."

"Are you taking a break so soon to celebrate the New Year? I thought you would have to wait until the end of the New Year before you would come over to settle the accounts and take us back by the way."

"It's Laba, and the New Year will be celebrated in about 20 days. Go back and rest early. You haven't been back for more than half a year."

The two brothers were very happy. Suddenly, a surprise fell from the sky and they could go home immediately.

"Okay, we'll pack our things right away."

"There's no rush, I have to do things tomorrow, and it won't be that fast. I'll probably have to go back the day after tomorrow, right?"

"OK."

While they were talking, Father Ye had already gone to the kitchen.

By the time everyone settled down, ate and lay down, the night was already deep.

When Ye Yaodong got off the ship, he didn't take the gifts off the ship. He locked them all in the warehouse, so he got up early in the morning, packed himself up, and went to the dock again.

He sorted out the gifts for Zeng Weimin, Fang Jingfu and his brother into three separate pieces, tied them on his bicycle, took them home first, distributed them all, and then went to deliver the gifts individually one by one.

Zeng Weimin sent him off first, and he also thanked them emphatically and bowed deeply to them.

When I first arrived in Zhoushi, I didn't understand the chaos above. I almost caused trouble and was taken to the Coast Guard. Fortunately, Bureau Zeng helped and everyone was safe.

Although I thanked you on the phone, I couldn't express my sincerity in person.

Before, I was far away and couldn't come to my door. Now that I'm here, I must say a few words and thank you again.

By the way, we chatted for a few more words. Although Zhou City is very chaotic, there are also many rewards, and risks are accompanied by opportunities.

Zeng Weimin also kept looking at him with a smile, and he admired this young man in his heart. He dared to fight hard, and brought the whole village's strong labor force to establish a foothold in such a chaotic place, and also made money. He came back safely, and

I complimented a few words and expressed my appreciation.

Ye Yaodong didn't stay long, he was still at work, so he left after chatting.

At this time, there were already a bunch of people standing in his house. They were all those who stayed in the guest house last night, as well as Zhou Da Aguang, who stayed on the boat. After they got up, they all came to him.

And we have been waiting for a long time to ask when we will go back today. After a night's rest, everyone has had enough rest and is very energetic. They can't wait to go back immediately.

Father Ye couldn't answer, so he could only sit with them and wait for Ye Yaodong to come back.

As soon as he walked in, everyone stood up.

"Hey? You're all here, have you had breakfast?"

"After eating, we wanted to ask you, when will you leave? It's already past 9 o'clock, and it will be late at night when you get home." Someone asked eagerly.

"I can't leave today. I still have some unfinished business. The soonest I can do it is at night or tomorrow. If you want to go back right away, you can go back now. I also told you in advance that I would stay here for at least one day to do business.

, you can either discuss it, and those who want to leave can leave together first."

"Tomorrow, if we can't wait, let's go back early, right?"

"Then if you have to go back a few boats, you can discuss it among yourselves. I have to go out again."

He also wanted to go back early, but things had to be done first, so he let others go first. They were just wasting their time waiting for him here.

It was impossible for them to dock last night. The small boat was no better than the big one. They had to go ashore to rest in the cold winter night.

The weather is sunny today and the sun is high, making it a good time to go home.

Ye Yaodong prepared the second batch of gifts and sent them to Fang Jingfu and his eldest brother.

His brother was at home, but Fang Jingfu was not at home. He was in the factory. After putting down his things, he exchanged a few words and went straight to the factory.

As a result, he found nothing in the office. He could only go to the production workshop, assembly room, and warehouse to search everywhere, and later found someone in the design room.

"Mr. Fang! Damn, you are such a busy person. It's easy for me to find a meal."

Fang Jinfu was discussing the drawings with the designer with his head down. When he heard someone calling him, he immediately looked up.

"Ah? Huh? Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you call in advance to inform me? I thought you would have to wait until the end of the year to come."

While speaking, he also put down his pen and walked towards Ye Yaodong.

"I was afraid that there would be no good weather to come back near the end of the New Year, so I would have to celebrate the New Year in another place? So I came back early while the weather was good."

"Let's go to the office to chat."

The two of them talked as they walked, greeting each other about their recent situation.

After entering the office, Ye Yaodong sat down and said: "It takes too long to drive home, so I chose to dock here to rest for a night, and stopped by to give away the New Year's gift."

"They are some local specialties from Zhou City, as well as tobacco and alcohol. I just went to your house and dropped them off. There is also a share for your brother."

Fang Jingfu said with a smile: "It's only the beginning of the month and you're giving me a New Year's gift..."

"Now I'm on my way. It saves me from having to come here again before the year. It's too troublesome. I'm still busy even when I get home. In half a year, I still have a lot of accounts to settle at home. You may still have to be busy for several days. You haven't done it yet.

Gotta rest.”

"It's been more than half a year since I left. You also have a big family and a big business."

"Ah hahaha, no one can compare with you. You have made this factory so impressive. Isn't the profit in the second half of the year pretty good?"

"It's not bad. You can see the profit with the naked eye. I spent money in the first half of the year and paid in whatever I earned. In the second half of the year, I spent less. But now that we're entering the twelfth lunar month, we have to spend a lot of money here and there as we approach the end of the year."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's for sure. It's the New Year and the holidays, and we have to do our best to be kind everywhere."

"You've come here today, so I should actually go over the accounts for you first. However, where the goods were shipped out, the accounts haven't been collected yet. The finance department didn't notify them in advance, and they haven't calculated the summary yet. You can either wait a little longer.

How many days?”

"I can't stay. I can only stay for one day today, and I have to go back tomorrow night or early in the morning."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You're already here."

"Hurry back, I wish I could grow wings and go home directly. And I'm not the only one. There are more than 200 people on our trip. Some people may not be able to wait to go back today, but some have to wait for me.

Let’s go back together, we can’t delay for too many days.”

"Are you in a hurry? Then you can only come again at the end of the year. It takes time to have someone settle the accounts in advance. It's not easy to do it for a day or two. The accountant itself is doing piecework, and there is a lot of work all day long.

"

"Then there's nothing we can do. We can only wait until then. When the financial department has finished calculating this year's profits and the accounts are out, you can call me again."

It is true that he did not call in advance to inform. He came back temporarily because he hoped that the weather would be good today and he could go to sea.

Nowadays, the weather forecast is not that accurate, and he has no control over when he returns. If it is too early, it will not be the time to finish the New Year accounts, which will seem like he is too anxious.

It is also customary to settle accounts at the end of the year and call it a day to celebrate the New Year. It is true that there is not enough time now, and it will take a long time to receive payment.

He could also understand what Fang Jingfu said.

"Then when the general accounts are settled at the end of the year, I will call you in advance and you will come and stay for two days. We will reconcile the accounts, and then we will go out together to meet the leaders or something."
