Chapter 268: Working is not as good as starting a business
Because the Ye family has to leave early tomorrow morning to catch the train to the city, the Lin family had a New Year's Eve dinner in advance tonight.
It can be considered as a gathering with the Ye family and also a farewell party for them.
In addition to the things that Ye Wansheng asked Lin Dan to buy, the Lin family also specially took out a lot of New Year's goods that they had prepared for the New Year.
After dinner, Ye Mu and his friends arranged sleeping places for Ye Mu and Song Yanzhou.
Song Yanzhou slept in the same room with Lin Dan and Ye Wansheng. The bed at home was an old-fashioned wooden bed, which was a bit crowded for three people, but not too crowded.
Ye Mu slept with Lin Ge. Lin Ge had always been alone in his own room, and he was actually happy to have one more person.
Every night after I blew out the kerosene lamp, I always felt that it was pitch black and a little scary when I slept alone.
Now that Ye Mu was with her, she was extremely happy. After Ye Mu washed up, she took him to her room.
Lin Dan found a more suitable jade bracelet and jade ring for Ye Mu, and brought them over after dinner. He called out at the door and then went in.
"Brother, what are you doing here? Sister Ye and I are going to bed."
It gets dark early and there are no entertainment activities. There is no electricity in Yangshan Village, and every household uses kerosene lamps. After dinner and washing up, all they do is chat and sleep.
Song Yanzhou would probably chat with his elders for a while, but Ye Mu had no interest in chatting unless his own family came to him.
Lin Dan handed Ye Mu the bracelet and jade ring and said:
"I'm delivering something. Why are you going to bed so early? Sit for a while."
Ye Mu took it, and Lin Ge said, "Just give this as a gift. It doesn't look good at all. Can you give this as a gift?"
Lin Dan glanced at the ignorant Lin Ge and said, "You don't understand. Go away."
This thing is not valuable now, but the situation has changed. Who knows whether it will be valuable in the future?
The main thing is that it looks good. It looks better when worn on the hand and it complements the hand. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to think of what to give him.
"It's better to just give money." Lin Ge pursed her lips and didn't say anything more to her brother, sitting down beside the bed.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Dan took out two dollars and handed them to Ye Mu.
Lin Ge's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow, so many?!"
Two dollars can buy a lot of things!
Ye Mu had just put away the jade bracelet and the ring when he saw him handing over two dollars and asked in confusion:
"What is this for?"
"New Year's money. You're leaving tomorrow, so today is just the right time to give it to you."
Lin Dan raised his hand and smoothed his hair. “It’s not much. Take it. This is given to you by your brother.”
Lin Ge: "What about me?!"
Lin Dan glanced at her and said, "It's not the New Year yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Okay." Lin Ge was relieved now. Before Ye Mu raised his hand to take it, she took it for Ye Mu first, and then stuffed it into Ye Mu's hand, "Sister Ye, keep it. My brother said before that he wanted to marry you, but who knew that you got married first. Now I can only recognize you as my sister."
Lin Dan was shocked to hear Lin Ge say what he had said before. He quickly said, "You are the one who talks too much. Go to bed quickly, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Ye Mu held the money in his hand and said to Lin Dan, "Since the New Year's money has been given to you, I wish you a happy new year."
As he said this, he shook the money in his hand at Lin Dan.
Lin Dan looked at Ye Mu seriously: "You haven't called me brother yet, who are you saying Happy New Year to?"
"Just call me Brother Lin."
Lin Ge paused as he spread out the quilt on the bed and said, "Why call me Brother Lin? If Sister Ye calls me that, wouldn't that make me the same as you?"
Lin Dan realized that his name was the same as Lin Ge's after he said it, and couldn't help but said, "Why do you call yourself that? It's really..."
"Dad named it, how would I know!"
"Then... call me Brother Lin?" Lin Dan felt that he should distinguish himself from Ye Wansheng, otherwise if Ye Mu called him brother, both he and Ye Wansheng would respond.
Ye Mu didn't care what the boy was called. This young man was full of energy, sunny and cheerful, and gave a very good impression.
Lin Dan, the brother with a different surname, had been made clear in the letter, so Ye Mu didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage by calling him brother.
If you must say it, everyone of this era, even a three-year-old child, can call her ancestor.
Just as she was about to speak, Lin Dan waved his hand and said, "Forget it. What's Brother Lin? That sounds so sissy. Just call me by my name."
"Okay." Seeing him struggling, Ye Mu said, "I want to call you by your name, too."
But she certainly didn't dare to call her eldest brother's name. She would feel nervous if she did. In her heart, her eldest brother was more majestic than her father, so she could only say it.
"Goodbye. I am still your brother after all. A recognized brother is still a brother. Just call me Brother Lin. I will endure it." Lin Dan ignored Lin Ge's words, then changed his mind and said.
Ye Wansheng also called him by his name, and Ye Mu also called him by his name, but Ye Mu called Ye Wansheng brother. With this comparison, he always felt like he was missing something.
Just call him Brother Lin. At least you won’t suffer any loss.
Ye Mu: “…”
She was a little speechless. Sure enough, Lin Dan behaved just as he did in the letter, silly and foolish.
"Go back and think about it slowly, and tell me when you've made up your mind." Then Ye Mu took off his slippers and got into bed.
Lin Ge was too lazy to pay attention to her brother. In front of them, the eldest brother was sometimes quite scary, but not so scary in front of Brother Ye, and now it was the same in front of Sister Ye.
It turns out that the eldest brother is only the real eldest brother in front of her and Lin Zhi. He is not a real brother in front of Brother Ye and Sister Ye. He is just wishful thinking.
"Okay." Seeing that they all went to bed, Lin Dan blew out the kerosene lamp before leaving and put it aside.
When he returned to his room, Ye Wansheng was sitting alone on the bed, casually flipping through the textbooks that Lin Zhi had placed in the room.
Originally, Lin Zhi slept with them, but today he made room for Song Yanzhou and went to sleep with Grandpa Lin.
Song Yanzhou was still in his parents' room at this time, chatting with his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Lin Dan also sat down beside the bed, crossed his legs and said:
"You won't be here for the New Year, how can we contact each other then?"
"I plan to go to S Province. I saw foreigners in the newspaper, and they all said something about overseas. I heard that S Province is close to the sea, so I will take my brothers with me after the New Year."
"So anxious?" Ye Wansheng put down the book, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Wait for my letter first? I will write to you when I arrive in Sijiu City. There should be a phone number there. I can tell you in the letter when the time comes. Call me when you get to S Province, and I will come to find you."
"Okay then. You write to me. When I go to Province S, I'll tell you a place. You can come find me there and we can look for some work together."
Ye Wansheng nodded: "Don't worry, find out when you get there. Then see what the situation is like."
“Try to bring as much money and tickets as possible.”
The two discussed it carefully and then came up with a preliminary plan. Lin Dan planned to take some of the things that had been hidden at home, but he had not told Ye Wansheng yet.
He thought this kind of thing might be able to be sold to foreigners, so he decided to try his luck.
When Song Yanzhou came back, the two were just getting ready to go to bed. Seeing Song Yanzhou, Lin Dan immediately urged him to go to bed, and then blew out the kerosene lamp.
The next morning, after Ye Mu and his friends washed up and had breakfast at Lin's house, they led their people out of the village.
Grandpa Lin and the others wanted to see them off, and before leaving, they specially stuffed a red brocade bag into Ye Mu's hand, saying it was a meeting gift and New Year's money for her.
Lin Dan's parents packed some extra pickled vegetables from the countryside and asked Ye Mu and the others to take them with them.
They brought a lot of stuff when they came, and when they left, everyone's luggage plus some things given by the Lin family was also quite a lot.
So Lin Dan called Lin Zhi and Lin Ge to carry them to the village together.
When we went to the city again, Lin Dan was the only one who would send us off.
After sending them on the train, Ye Wansheng stuck his head out of the train window and said to Lin Dan:
"I've left some money under your pillow. You can take it with you after the New Year. You're in an unfamiliar place, so tell your brothers to behave themselves and not cause trouble. Tell me when you find a place to stay, and I'll try to get there right away."
Lin Dan was quite relieved. This person was sensible. Although he was younger than him, he had experienced as much as he did. He was more mature and stable than his peers at a young age. Otherwise, no one would be willing to follow him.
However, Ye Wansheng felt that the people Lin Dan called were of mixed quality. It was true that it was easier to stick together when there were more people from other places and it was not easy to be bullied, but a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, not to mention that Lin Dan was not a strong dragon at all.
He was worried that someone would lose control of his temper and cause trouble in Province S.
"Don't worry, I've already told them." Lin Dan waved at him and then reminded him, "There are a lot of people on the train, so keep an eye on sister Ye Mu and don't let anyone bully her."
He felt that Ye Mu's face was quite attractive and could easily be targeted by some men with shady dealings.
However, with so many people following Ye Mu, most people wouldn't dare to make a move.
So Lin Dan was a little worried, but also quite relieved.
Ye Mu was a little curious and asked Ye Wansheng:
"Brother, where are you and Brother Lin going after the New Year?"
Early this morning, Lin Dan still asked Ye Mu to call him that, and Ye Mu did so.
Song Yanzhou heard this at the time, and quietly asked her when the elders and the Lin family were reluctant to part and said goodbye to each other:
"Why don't you call me brother?"
Ye Mu was very confused at the time and asked back: "Do you want to be my brother? Don't you want to be my husband anymore?"
"No." Song Yanzhou shook his head and didn't say anything more about it.
He felt that calling Lin Danlin brother was a bit too intimate, but after hearing what Ye Mu said, it was obvious that the word brother only meant her brother to her and had no other meaning.
Although he didn't have much contact with Lin Dan, it was actually not difficult to understand him. With Song Yanzhou's ability, he could roughly understand Lin Dan's personality by observing him more and chatting with him a few more times.
He is relatively smart and has brains, but like Ye Mu, he does act a little silly in front of people he knows.
Although it was the first time he met Ye Mu, Song Yanzhou could see that Lin Dan loved Ye Mu very much. Just like Ye Wansheng, he was consistent in recognizing Ye Mu as his sister.
Ye Wansheng was sitting next to Ye Mu, leaning against the window, while Song Yanzhou was on the other side of Ye Mu, leaning against the aisle.
As for the people sitting opposite them, they were Ye Junqi, Ye Zhishu, and Shen Yanzhi.
Shen Yanzhi's dress didn't seem to be of the same kind as theirs, and he didn't talk to them.
Ye Heshan and Yang Ying sat together. Next to them, near the corridor, sat Zhu Yuting. Zhu Yuting was mainly responsible for taking care of her mother-in-law, so she sat with Yang Ying. Opposite them were Ye Lao and Ye Jungui, as well as the plainclothes officers who followed Ye Lao to protect him.
Mr. Ye and Ye Mu are traveling together, so there are naturally more than just these few people to protect their safety.
The protection personnel for their trip were specially arranged by Song Changyan. The others did not get too close to them and blended into the crowd, so they could not be seen. Ye Wansheng said:
"We plan to go to Province S."
The train started slowly. Just as Ye Mu was about to speak, he heard Lin Dan shouting outside that the money Ye Wansheng left for him was considered as a loan from Ye Wansheng.
Ye Wansheng leaned over to the window and said, "I know," and then he looked at Ye Mu and said, "What's wrong? Sister, what did you want to say just now?"
Ye Mu glanced at Song Yanzhou and said, "Province S, Song Yanzhou has acquaintances there, can they help?"
"Actually, I also plan to take care of some remaining work after the New Year and go to Province S to have a look. But I haven't made arrangements yet. If you guys go first, I can come and find you then."
Ye Mu pondered, and then asked: "Brother, what are your plans for going to Province S?"
Ye Wansheng briefly explained his and Lin Dan's plan, and Ye Mu said:
"Is that so?"
She thought about it and couldn't help but said, "It's better to start your own business than to work for others."
"Also, the current domestic employment environment is not very good, but there is a lot of work to be done and there is a big market gap. It is the right time to start a business. Would you like to consider it? If you have any ideas, you can tell Brother Lin, and then I can join you. I will provide knowledge and technical support, and of course, funding."
It was a bit noisy on the train, and the two spoke in ordinary voices, but they were still heard by the onlookers. Some of them couldn't help but interrupt and ask questions. As long as it didn't involve any personal plans, Ye Wansheng answered what he could.
Seeing this, Ye Mu was a little confused: "Don't they know?"
At this time, shouldn’t everyone be working hard to strive for a new life?
Ye Wansheng shook his head: "Not many people understand the policy. Some people read the newspaper as if it were a story, but they didn't understand it."
This made Ye Mu silent for a moment, then she nodded. Perhaps her understanding of the official government affairs office was still at the interstellar level. After all, she had not fully come into contact with such organizations here.
I thought it was like Interstellar, which would actively inform the residents of the planet of various opportunities and business opportunities, and provide more opportunities and ways for growth and development for capable people.
This is one of the main service contents of grassroots government organizations.
Sometimes the planetary government office is not very good, or the economy is insufficient, and it cannot open up a wider information network, which will cause the people on the planet to miss some information and opportunities that they cannot get, miss out on jobs, etc. Therefore, the level of the interstellar is divided by planet, especially by the comprehensive strength of the planet, among which the ability of the planetary government office is naturally one of the judgments.
The Azure Star has established a vast information network and a powerful government office through its ten satellite stars. The main star is an S-class planet, and the satellite stars are all A-class planets.
However, even in the interstellar world, there are people who do not care about this information, so in reality you still have to seek various opportunities yourself.
She thought there might be a gap, but she didn't expect it to be so big.
Human consciousness and cognition are indeed more inclined towards the primitive era.
However, history always progresses forward. Ye Mu accepted the backwardness of the world and was not particularly surprised at this time. He just digested it and said:
"It's settled then. Take me with you then."
Ye Wansheng hesitated: "Aren't you...working? Even if you are starting a business, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to come here?"
Ye Mu didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "I didn't sign a contract to sell myself."
She signed a military technology research and development contract and would not cooperate with Ye Wansheng and others on military technology, so naturally there was nothing wrong.
Seeing that she was also planning to go to Province S, Song Yanzhou said, "You know that friend of mine is actually my aunt's friend, but if you have any urgent matters, you can go to him for help. I'll call him when I get home. I won't be with you at the time, so be careful."
Before the time came, he started to give instructions worriedly.
If Ye Mu didn't want to go, he wouldn't want to trouble Xiswei.
"Pei Qi's family is also in S Province. If I have any problems, I should be able to ask him for help."
Song Yanzhou: "...try not to look for him."
It would be better to look for Xiswei than Pei Qi.
