Ye Yaodong came back from the village committee after making a phone call and told Lin Xiuqing, "Tomorrow around 12 noon, Boss Zhou will drive over to deliver goods. Depending on the situation, remember to bag the squid and dried fish together. The price is still the same as before.
price."
"Also, tomorrow morning our father will send a car of fish back. He said that he will come back with the car. There are not many goods in the store, only a few kilograms, so I can leave my mother to watch as she pleases. He is here by the way.
Bring back the money sold during this period, otherwise they won’t be able to sleep well or eat well.”
"Ah, my father is coming back too? Okay, okay."
"Come back and stay for one night before going up. When the time comes, Uncle Zhou will send it up. By the way, you can bring back another cart of goods to dry out more, otherwise there will be nothing to sell."
"I should have asked my father to buy more fresh fish to dry, so that I could make more money."
"Earlier we had a lot of inventory, but in the first two months we didn't have room to pile it up. Last month, Azheng posted batches every two days to replenish the inventory, and it was enough to sell, so I didn't want to make such a big effort.
The whole family in the province is busy with the work. It’s not too late to sunbathe more, but there are too many flies and it’s disgusting, otherwise it’s best to bask in the sun in winter and spring.”
"If you have money to make, why do you care if there are a lot of flies in summer? We don't eat at home, we put them fresh outside to dry, so it should be fine. Anyway, my brother is watching over there, and they will chase them away.
fly."
Ye Yaodong thought the same way. Anyway, he didn’t eat it at home...
Most people will rinse it before steaming it after buying it. Nowadays, people are not so particular about it. It doesn’t matter what season it is dried, some of it is good to eat.
"Well, anyway, you have everything ready before 12 noon tomorrow. It's best to collect it all at 10 or 11 o'clock in advance and put it there for preparation. This will save you money if someone arrives early.
People are waiting.”
"You don't need to tell me, I know that? You should go into the house and sleep early. You have to go to sea at night. Fortunately, it has been sunny these days."
Ye Yaodong looked at the surrounding open space filled with baskets of squid. A dozen people were busy going back and forth there. Four or five women were sitting there with headlamps butchering them. There were also seven or eight children from their family. His mother
Take the old lady with them to help with cleaning.
With such a large quantity, I guess it will take until midnight to finish sorting them all out, right?
Tomorrow morning another batch of fish will be sent back, and they have to continue killing. This job doesn't look easy, and his mother and his wife have to accompany him to do it. Even if they don't work together, the supervisor will have to stay until midnight to kill.
over.
"Don't work too late. When the time comes, go back to the house and put the child to sleep, and ask my mother to share it with you."
"I know."
No matter what, she had to wait until the killing was completed, spread and dried, and the aftermath work was done before she could sleep peacefully.
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch. It was only after seven o'clock. Ye Xiaoxi was not far away like butterflies surrounding the neighbor girls, watching them playing shuttlecocks. She kept picking them up back and forth, enjoying it.
After thinking about it, I decided not to take her back to the house. She would definitely not be able to sleep so early. Now that she had some fun, she wouldn't have to make trouble and cause him to sleep.
Anyway, you can play with these children, and there is no need for adults to watch.
As Ye Yaodong lay in bed, he was still thinking about how much he could catch every day and how much he could sell the two boats for. Add in his eldest brother and his second brother's, and he could earn several hundred from this day's harvest.
If this were two years ago, he told his mother that he could earn several hundred a day, and his mother could slap him twice and tell him to wake up!
These two boats were obtained just in time. He prayed silently in his heart that there would be no wind and waves and that the flood season would be longer, allowing them to fish for a few more days and earn more.
As he thought about it, he closed his eyes.
The male protagonist was outside, the female protagonist was inside, and the noise outside the house did not affect him at all, and he fell asleep peacefully.
The whole day, from night to evening, was so tiring, and all I did was physical work.
He had no dreams until midnight. When he got up at night and prepared to go to sea, there were no people working outside the house. Except for the squid drying, everything else was piled neatly in the yard. He didn't know what time he was busy.
.
When I got up from the front, I saw that Aqing was sleeping soundly. In the past, when he woke up, she would wake up right after. She must have been busy these past few nights, so she also went to bed late.
That's fine. Once the small workshop is set up, Ah Qing will be busy, and he won't be so worried about the work of the village committee. He won't have to worry about the one-third of an acre of land at home, and he can still be busy with his own business.
.
Huimei can also work in the village committee with peace of mind, getting the best of both worlds.
Although she said that she would give up her job to Ah Qing when she could let go of her family affairs and go to work, but if she had to work for a few years and suddenly let him go, she would definitely feel uncomfortable, and there would be a gap between the two.
This is best now.
The prosperous life gave him more goals to strive for.
Ye Yaodong was pushing the cart with great energy. When he passed by the small workshop, he saw that the deck chairs were empty, and his brother-in-law was wandering around the workshop. Several puppies that were following him suddenly rushed towards him.
.
"Go away and go to work." Ye Yaodong lightly kicked the dog that was pulling on his lap. It was so annoying. It always liked to pull on his legs. It was true.
After saying this, he said hello to his brother-in-law and told him to remember to lie down and rest for a while.
"At this time, some people in the village were getting ready to go out to sea, so I got up to take a look. The fishing net is not strong and will break if you cut it. People passing by may pull it hard a few times and the bamboo poles may be torn down."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. There are people coming and going during the day. It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of petty theft. You guys can sleep a little longer during the day."
"It's okay, it's okay. We often sleep in the mountains or in the fields."
"Okay, then I'll go to sea first."
"Hey, you are busy, you are busy."
The sky at night was starry, clear and blue, and the next day was another beautiful day with strong sunshine.
Ye Yaodong spent a busy day at sea. When he returned home, what awaited him was still a busy scene in full swing.
Father Lin brought back a cart of fresh Balang fish during the day. It was still being cooked and dried, and everyone was performing their duties in an orderly manner.
When he came back, he only said hello. He had a lot of things at hand and it was not time to chat with his father-in-law in detail. He only asked Ah Qing if the squid sales were going well today? He planned to weigh the goods first.
Who would have thought that before A Qing could open his mouth, his mother would scold him loudly.
"Don't mention it, the sales are going smoothly, but all the women in the village are so inhumane. When they saw the liberation, they all came to our house and told people that they also had squid, and they also
You can dry a lot of squid and sell it to the boss cheaply."
"Ouch, they are so stupid. They came to our house to poach people. This didn't make me mad. I drove them away quickly and locked the courtyard door. It's so disgusting."
"Everyone here is watching us drying cuttlefish to make money, and watching the Great Liberation coming again, and everyone is jealous. Fortunately, the boss Zhou didn't come, and today only the drivers who drove the Great Liberation came to help collect the goods."
"Dongzi, we can't let Da Jiefang come directly next. We can send it to the city ourselves and let Da Jiefang go to the stores in the city to collect it. This will prevent everyone from taking away our business..."
Lin Xiuqing also nodded in agreement, "Yes, when the People's Liberation Army entered the village, a large number of people came to our house. When the driver got off the car, all the villagers gathered around and said that they too had
Squid, you can also dry cuttlefish."
"Fortunately, everyone helped us push them out and lock the courtyard door, but those people didn't leave either. They were all waiting at the entrance of our courtyard. When we were loading the goods into the car later, they gathered around us again."
"The collar of the master's clothes was torn off, and his hat was also torn off. Later he said that he couldn't make the decision himself and had to go back and ask the boss. He would come back in a few days and the women would be let go."
"It was really like a fight this morning. The master could hardly leave. I knew he should have been sent to the city. All the folks from the province gathered around him."
Ye's mother added: "You don't know how scary those people are. They pulled everyone together and refused to let them go. They kept saying that it would be cheaper than ours. I was so angry that I wanted to go up and tear their mouths apart."
"Yes, Dongzi, we can't let Da Jiefang come into our village to collect goods next time. What if other people's goods are cheaper than ours and the boss accepts other people's goods but not ours?" The old lady also looked worried.
appearance.
The last time the People's Liberation Army came into the village, everyone saw it. As soon as the People's Liberation Army came this morning, the villagers knew that they were coming to their home, and they must be here to collect squid. They all followed behind, trying to promote themselves.
Although I don’t know how much Ye Yaodong can sell for, I’m sure he won’t lose money, otherwise he wouldn’t have posted so much.
Ye Yaodong was stunned when he heard what they said. He didn't expect it would be such a sensation.
"I also thought about sending it directly to the store in the city, so that when the tractor comes back, I can bring another load. But I told them on the phone a few days ago, and they made arrangements in advance, and the delivery happened to be today.
I just stopped by to collect it.”
He didn't object at the time, because he was thinking that the payment for the goods was hundreds or even thousands of dollars. If he kept it in his father-in-law's hands, it would be too much money. He had a lot of business turnover every day, so it was not a good thing to have too much money when going out.
You don't want to cause any accidents when you are out in an unfamiliar place. It's not that peaceful these days, so I don't object even if I think about it.
"Then the liberation will stop coming in a few days, right? Let's just send it directly to the store in the city and let them go to the store to buy goods?" Lin Xiuqing frowned and said.
"I'll call and ask later. I think there should be 500 kilograms of goods available for drying tomorrow, right? As long as the weather is good, it should be available basically every day, right? I'll call to discuss how to receive the goods."
"That's right, you ask, we can't let the Great Liberation come to the village again anyway."
