Fortunately, they had dinner early, and it was only getting dark when everything was settled.

Ye Yaodong and Father Ye were not in a hurry to leave. They sat down and chatted with them for a while about their return.

During this period of time, everyone has been at sea. Except for the winter solstice, when we had a temporary discussion and reached a consensus, we never sat down together to communicate about going back.

It's time to finish settling the accounts now, so everyone can sit down and chat about the arrangements for going back.

Ye Yaodong was the first to say: "I have paid all the workers' wages. Let's check the weather forecast in the past two days. If the weather is good, we can go back directly. The accounts are settled anyway."

"Also arrange for everyone to collect your luggage as soon as possible and prepare it in advance to avoid being temporarily blinded."

"The weather here is too cold, and it snows from time to time. The wind in the port is also very strong in winter. If there is no wind, we can't wait."

A Guang said: "We also paid the wages of the workers in the afternoon, and we will ask everyone to pack their things tomorrow. We also need to sort out the things on the fishing boat and move them onto the boat in advance."

"We have to leave some time for everyone to go shopping and buy things..."

"There's enough time. Isn't it just getting dark tonight? You can pack up the useless things in advance in the evening, go out for a walk tomorrow, and then come back in the evening to add some more."

"Then there's no need to be too hasty..."

Everyone was sitting there chatting with each other.

Ye Yaodong suddenly spoke again: "I'm thinking that this trip is a bit far. If the wind direction is wrong, we may not be able to drive for a whole day and night. I'm thinking that I might be able to stop in Wenzhou to rest for a night."

"I also have something to do, and I also want to stop in Vancouver for a day to get things done, and then go back."

"If you are in a hurry to go back, don't force it. When the time comes, you can split into two routes. One part will stop with me in Vancouver to rest, and the other part will go straight to home."

Father Ye asked: "Why are you stopping in Wenzhou? To transport lighters? Tens of thousands of them were sold out last time?"

"No, I thought it was approaching the New Year, so I had to give New Year gifts to my acquaintances and friends. I just happened to buy some more specialties here in the past two days."

"Also, the twins who work in the lighter factory have to pick him up and take him back for the New Year."

"By the way, I also want to ask Fang Jingfu to settle the accounts for this year. It's New Year's Day, and there are only about 20 days until the New Year. I want to settle the accounts in advance to save me from having to make another trip. How tiring?"

"Who knows if there will be good weather for going out? It's such a long distance away, not close to home, so it's not convenient. We can solve it together by the way."

"I haven't been at home for more than half a year, and there must be a lot of things and accounts at home. Who knows how long it will take me to finish my work?"

"It just so happens that I can dock ashore for a rest, get everything done in advance, and then I can rest peacefully during the New Year when I get home."

Everyone nodded, thinking that what he said was right. He could get things done along the way and save himself from running back and forth. After all, traveling across provinces was not that convenient.

"Then we'll see when the time comes. We'll also talk to other ships tomorrow and see if they will dock with you, or go back directly, or split into two waves."

"Um."

They continued chatting for a while, but left after it was too late.

When Ye Yaodong returned to the rental house, everyone had almost packed everything on the boat. They were piled everywhere, and a lot of luggage was put away, as if they could leave at any time.

"So efficient? Can you leave overnight?"

"There are a lot of people, so let's all clean up together. Isn't that just a matter of twos and twos?"

"We've probably collected almost all the stuff. We just haven't confiscated some pots and pans that we can use daily. We won't be able to collect them until we leave. Now we don't know when we can leave and still use them."

"Tomorrow morning, let's move these things to the boat and lock them up, right?"

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, the things that are no longer needed will be moved to the ship and locked up tomorrow. The rest will be moved at a later time. Anyway, we have more people and more strength."

"The quilt has nothing to hold..."

"I'm going to buy some more sacks tomorrow. The new ones are also clean. I'll arrange it. Everyone, go to bed first and go out for a nice walk tomorrow."

"OK."

Everyone went back to their rooms happily.

Ye Yaodong could hear the excitement inside even though he was separated by a door.

He thought that many people would be too excited to sleep at night.

He and his father closed the door, closed the windows and turned off the lights and returned to the room. He still had unsettled accounts.

He has not yet calculated how much he has earned in total in the past six months. He has only calculated how much he earned this month and counted the wages of the workers.

The weather was bad this month and the wind was strong, so he only went out for less than half a month, and his dozen or so small boats only went out for about ten days. His income dropped sharply, with a difference of 30,000 yuan compared to last month.

Fortunately, there are a few shrimp boats, otherwise the income would be even less.

But no matter how you say it, it's better than the previous one, and it's much better than at home.

He took the account book and calculated it all, and he made more than 90,000 yuan. Last month, he made a net profit of 120,000 yuan.

Originally, he was still having sweet dreams, thinking that he could go to sea this month until after New Year's Day, and in 40 days, he could probably earn more than ten or two hundred thousand.

Unexpectedly, the weather was bad, and most of them stayed at home. Compared with last month, they made about 30,000 yuan less, and it was even less than half of what he expected.

Just now, more than 14,000 yuan was given out from his salary plus red envelopes. If you deduct the gas and ice, you will probably have to deduct about 20,000 yuan, so he will have a net income of more than 70,000 yuan this month.

As of the end of November, he originally had more than 140,000 in savings, but now adding them all up, he has about 220,000 to take home.

He went to Wenzhou in mid-to-late June. After the trench became overcrowded, the jellyfish market this year was not as good as last year. He still relied on the fresh harvest boat to earn a total of 47,000 before leaving.

After coming here in August, he earned more than 30,000 yuan.

I have remitted a total of 50,000 yuan back in pieces in the past two months.

Later, he thought that the remittances were too frequent, and it was not safe for Ah Qing to get them. He still had twenty or thirty thousand left in his hand, so he put them all in his own hands first.

With what he earned in September, he used the savings on hand to buy the 100,000 yuan cargo ship. At that time, the money was not enough, so he asked Aguang to borrow 35,000 yuan to make up the money.

But by October, he paid back all Aguang's money and bought a piece of land worth RMB 20,000, leaving more than RMB 20,000 in cash.

By the time the accounts were settled at the end of November, he had more than 140,000 in cash on hand.

As of the end of last month, he had probably earned around 320,000 from this trip.

And just now I calculated the net profit for this month to be more than 70,000.

In total, he has earned about 400,000 yuan in the past six months since he started working.

Now I have 220,000 yuan in cash on hand, plus the 50,000 yuan I remitted back before August, plus a piece of land worth 20,000 yuan, and a cargo ship worth 100,000 yuan that is still being renovated.

"That's pretty much the same..."

Ye Yaodong wrote calculations on paper and pressed the calculator for a long time. It took him more than half an hour to figure it out.

After Ye's father came in, he didn't dare to breathe when he saw him settling accounts. He didn't dare to make a sound at all, for fear of interrupting his train of thought and being scolded.

After hearing his voice, I dared to ask: "How's it going? Is it settled? How much have you made in total in the past six months?"

"Quite a lot."

"How many are there? Is it hundreds of thousands?"

"It's pretty much the same."

"How much is that? One or two hundred thousand is also hundreds of thousands, eight or nine hundred thousand is also hundreds of thousands."

Father Ye leaned his head over to take a look at the notebook. Ye Yaodong immediately closed the notebook.

"Why are you so curious? What's the point of knowing my family's fortune? I don't even know how much private money you have hidden, and you want to know my family's fortune?"

"I don't want you to take care of yourself in old age."

"It makes it seem like your private money was not given by me."

"sleep."

Father Ye had nothing to say, so he stopped talking, took off his clothes and walked to the bed.

Ye Yaodong turned to his father and said: "Go out for a stroll tomorrow morning, buy some specialties, and make a phone call to inform you. Tomorrow afternoon, you can go to the shipyard with me to see if the cargo ship has been renovated."

"tmd told me that it would be ready before New Year's Day, but it was delayed because of the snow for a few days. He said that we would go and have a look tomorrow around New Year's Day. After urging him, he said that we have to go back. We must go back in the next two days.

good."

Father Ye said in surprise: "I thought it had already arrived at the pier."

"I'm sorry, I'll do it tomorrow. I've been busy going to sea these two days, so I haven't been there for two days. I spent the past few days watching them and hurrying up."

"Then you have to hurry up."

"Well, it should be about the same. It hasn't snowed in the past two days and the weather has been better."

"Go early tomorrow morning. Go to bed early and get up early. Go and remind yourself. Only after seeing it can you feel at ease."

"That's okay too."

The renovation cost of the cargo ship is estimated to be about 20,000 yuan. I have already paid 5,000 yuan in advance, and I still have to pay another 15,000 yuan.

Ye Yaodong has already prepared the money. He is just waiting for the ship to be ready for him in the next two days. He will pay for the goods after he checks and accepts it and there is no problem.

Speaking of which, he almost brought home more than 200,000 yuan in cash.

The father and son lay on the bed and chatted for a while, what to do first and what to do next tomorrow...

Ye Yaodong was still thinking that if he still had free time tomorrow, he would have to say hello and farewell to the lay people and Jin Laixi from the Chamber of Commerce. He couldn't just leave like that.

After thinking about it, he also fell into sleep.
