Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, "Okay, you just help with the work! I'll get some shrimp and fish from the pond tomorrow to give you some nutrition. It's a pity that Uncle Qian and Dad don't have a day off."
"Boss, you're talking nonsense again. Why are you taking a break when it's not a festival?"
Whether working in the village or in the city, Wang Xiaolan never considered taking a vacation. Her thinking hasn't changed, whether it was more than a decade ago or now.
In the past, if I didn't look for work, I wouldn't have enough money to eat. Now that I have three children and my expenses are even higher, I can no longer be so willful.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't refute, but smiled and said to Liu Cuihua, "Aunt Liu, remember to ask Uncle Qian to come over for dinner tomorrow after get off work. I've agreed with the reinforcements that since tomorrow is a day off, they can go out with Wubing to the river to dig wild vegetables."
Liu Cuihua wanted to say something, but Wang Xiaolan refused to give in. "Sister, you should have noticed. Our family is now full of working parents, so we have it much easier than yours! Just like me before, when I gave birth to my first child, he was not well-nourished and I had no milk to feed him.
I ate a lot back then, and the eggs your family sent me were a nutritional supplement! That's what the eldest brother owes you. Now that he's grown up safely, he should try his best to repay you!"
Liu Cuihua could only smile and nod, but she was still very moved.
This was the first time Ye Zhiqiu heard of this. No wonder his cheap mother was so stingy with him, but so generous to the Qian family. It turned out that such a thing existed.
After chatting for a while, he went back to his room to take a nap. Others did not have the habit of taking naps, as they were busy all day long.
He simply couldn't accept this when he first crossed over. Furthermore, going from playing with his phone all day to returning to an era without electronic devices was completely difficult for him to adapt to.
Fortunately, everyone in the Ye family was very understanding. They thought he had lost his memory, so they never let him work in the fields to earn work points.
Besides Ye Tianya and his wife, they also thought about sending him to the quarry! At that time, there was a state-owned quarry in the next town. With 200 yuan, he could be sent there and become a state worker.
Although working in a quarry is dangerous and even extremely hard, it provides a salary and a ration of food, which is much better than being a farmer!
Farmers work hard all year and not only do they have no money, but it is also the most physically demanding job. Many people in their thirties and forties act like sixty-year-olds.
Ye Zhiqiu had never suffered hardship before. Thinking of the sledgehammers he had to swing every day in the quarry, he resolutely refused to be a laborer! Later, he began to integrate into this family and the life of this era, until today when the family returned to the city.
Lying in bed, he put his thoughts into the space. In fact, there were quite a few things in the space that could be exchanged for money. But the key was that apart from this fish, he had a deal with Yang Gui and the others and could use it to make some money from legal sources. He really didn't know how to get money.
Looking at the bubbles in the space, he couldn't come up with any suitable source of money. He couldn't just bring hundreds of kilograms of flour or rice back to the factory and say they were purchased from the countryside, right?
It's not worth the effort to pull hundreds of kilograms without even ten yuan...
He collected his thoughts and thought about how to arrange it. First of all, there was a small cement pond over there, so it would be no problem to put his own fish in it.
It was just a matter of Ma Banghua and the others catching and weighing the fish with him, which was just a bit of extra work. As for the big buckets for the fish, they had to prepare them themselves.
Ye Zhiqiu was a little frustrated. He wanted to buy a few buckets and basins, but he had to get industrial coupons. Otherwise, he couldn't afford them. Forget it, he'd better wake up first. At worst, he could just find a ticket scalper to buy them...
He slept until three o'clock. When Ye Zhiqiu got up and went to the yard, he saw Ye Wubing pushing the mill diligently. Liu Cuihua put the sweet potatoes into the inlet and pressed them with a rolling pin, while Wang Xiaolan was responsible for slowly adding water.
Ye Zhiqiu praised Ye Wubing a few words and asked him to work harder! After saying goodbye to his cheap mother and the others, he rode his bicycle back to the factory.
When I arrived at the factory gate, I put my work badge in my chest pocket and entered the factory smoothly.
After Ye Zhiqiu parked his bicycle, he went to the office building and found Chen Yimin. After lighting a cigarette, he smiled and explained, "Leader, I came to see you this time because I have already negotiated the fish in the fish pond.
Tomorrow morning, the factory will send a vehicle and personnel to Sanyuanli Village in Sanlitun Commune to weigh and bring back the fish."
Chen Yimin asked happily, "You're doing a great job! Xiaoye, do you know how many kilograms of fish are in that pond? Are there more than a thousand? So we can give them to the factory for the National Day bonus?"
Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and thought, if he raised five or six thousand kilograms of fish for two years, there should be more than a thousand of them, right?
But he wasn't sure, so he explained, "Boss, this pond has all kinds of fish. They say there's no problem with five or six thousand kilograms. But I can't guarantee there are that many!"
Chen Yimin nodded and replied, "Well, the number of fish doesn't affect how they're divided. If they're too big or too heavy, we'll just split them in half. We'll see how the fish turn out after we bring them back! Go report this to your director soon. We need to clean up the freezer and make room for the fish."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go report to Director Wu first."
Chen Yimin waved his hand and said with a half-smile, "Go ahead, go ahead! Next time something big happens like this, you can report it directly to him. No need to come all the way here to show your loyalty! I recruited you, everyone knows you're mine."
Ye Zhiqiu grinned and replied, "That can't be possible. You are my leader, and I must report to you about work matters! I have to let everyone know that the leader hired me here not to idle away the days, but to find someone who can achieve results!"
"Alright, get out of here, you slippery little brat! I'll give you credit for this one, and give me some face!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and chatted for a few words before leaving Chen Yimin's office.
No matter how close Chen Yimin and Wu Shengli were, Ye Zhiqiu didn't care. He was just a pawn, so he had to remember who he belonged to! He couldn't just ignore Chen Yimin because he was working under Wu Shengli at the factory.
Although Chen Yimin doesn't care, he would be ignorant if he really did it this way.
Back at the logistics department, Ye Zhiqiu greeted the people he knew and made an OK gesture to He Yongjun and the other man who were looking at him.
Without talking to them first and ignoring the two excited people, he walked towards Wu Shengli's office first.
"Come in!"
"Leader, I'm here to report my work to you!"
"You little brat, did you tip off Old Chen that I had a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes with filters?"
"Boss, I swear! Maybe I accidentally let it slip..."
