Chapter 952 Going Home (7000 words)

When the people heard that it was poisonous, they were already frightened and would not buy it.
Listening to the argument between the two parties, I didn't know who was real and who was fake, but for the sake of their own lives, no one dared to touch it, so they all called the two fishmongers to refund their money.
But there is no way someone can refund the money. Isn’t it stupid to take out the money when it’s already in your pocket?
Two fishmongers tried to drive them away, but they were surrounded by a group of people who shouted at them to return their money. They were unable to move and could only comfort and scold them.
"They are just coming from other stalls to cause trouble. You two boys, get out of here right away, or else you will have to walk around without food."
"This is a salmon. It took us two brothers a lot of effort to catch it. These two are just jealous. What do outsiders know?"
"That's it, don't listen to their lies..."
Ye Yaodong stood there, folding his hands on his chest, and said slowly and honestly.
"Actually, this fish is also delicious. The texture and taste are so good that you still want to eat it. It just depends on whether your intestines can handle it."
"Most people start spraying oil within a few dozen minutes to a day after eating oily fish, and it will gradually stop after about two days. However, this experience is also related to the person's constitution. Some people don't feel anything, and the gastrointestinal
People who are sensitive and fragile may spray oil for four or five days."
"You can imagine, after you calmly enjoy a plate of oily fish, you feel a warm feeling in your stomach. You thought it was just an ordinary fart, but in the end what came out was a pile of yellowish-brown stuff.
fish oil."
When the crowd heard that what he said was true, they believed it a little more. Those who had already given money dragged the two fishmongers to force them to pay back the money.
"Fuck you, we are salmon, you are blind."
"It's just oily fish! I've eaten it before, and it took two days to spray it clean, and more than a dozen pairs of shorts were ruined."
Ye Yaodong also added: "The flesh of salmon is light pink when cut, and it is usually used to pretend to be salmon. The flesh of this kind of oily fish is white when cut into pieces. If it is whole, it looks very similar to salmon.
Yes, but if it is cut open, it is usually used to pretend to be cod. You can take a piece of fish and see if it is what I said."
Someone actually picked the fish flesh and said, "It's really white."
The fishmonger said eagerly: "A lot of fish meat is white. This doesn't mean anything. No one has ever seen what color salmon meat is. Why don't you just rely on his mouth? He is a very evil person, and he just doesn't want to
If you let others do business, don’t trust them.”
Another fishmonger also echoed, "Well, the flesh of ordinary fish is white. What's there to say?"
Ye Yaodong shrugged, "I didn't mean to ruin your business. I just came here to watch the excitement. I just chatted with my friends about oil fish in our own dialect. Who knew you would become guilty and anxious after hearing this."
Aguang also said: "We just said a few words about Youyu. If you are not guilty of thief, why are you so anxious to retort? Then you scolded us and we chatted about our lives. Did you point at your stall and say that you sell fakes in the first place?
.”
"You feel guilty. After being poked accidentally, of course you have to jump."
The two sang in harmony, making the two fishmongers so angry that their faces turned green.
The people also became more convinced that, as they said, it was the two fishmongers who attacked first.
"Refund the money, return the money quickly, I don't want it anymore..."
"I don't want it anymore, give me the money back."
"You two evil fish traders, in order to make money, sell fake products..."
"It's so unethical, so bad..."
"Don't buy their fish. If you eat this fish, oil will come out of your butthole..."
"Yes, don't buy it. They are defrauding us people of our hard-earned money..."
Ye Yaodong saw two fishmongers being harassed by the crowd to return their money, and some people threw vegetable leaves at them. He immediately grabbed Aguang and ran away.
If you don’t leave now, wait until later.
If it's a little later, when the two of them free their hands, they will be the ones who get beaten.
More and more people were attracted by the fish stall in front of them. The two of them ran in the opposite direction smoothly without anyone stopping them.
Father Ye and Father Pei were also attracted by the movement here. They walked up to them, raised their toes, pointed in the distance and asked: "What's going on there? What happened? Why are there so many people around?"
There seems to be a quarrel there?"
"Someone is selling fake fish as inferior quality."
"Ah? What kind of fake fish are you selling?" Father Ye was surprised.
"Someone is selling oily fish there as salmon."
“What kind of fish is salmon?”
"It's a deep-sea fish." Father Pei said.
Father Ye looked into the distance and said, "Isn't this nonsense? I ate too much oily fish and even farted out the oil."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't eat too much. The fish is also delicious."
If you consume no more than 200 grams, it is usually fine. If you consume more than 1 kilogram, you will probably gradually expel 200 grams of oil.
"Nonsense, that fish will spray oil after eating it."
A Guang suddenly said, "What will happen if I eat enoki mushrooms at the same time?"
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Add some chili pepper, and it becomes the red oil enoki mushroom, right?
He is a thinker!
"If I catch an oily fish another day, I will send it to you. You want to try it?"
"Tch~ You can keep it and try it yourself. Come on, run away quickly, otherwise we will all have to explain here when others are free."
"Let's go, let's go quickly." Ye Yaodong also became anxious. He came to watch the excitement, not to be beaten.
"Why do you have to explain what you two did here when they freed up your hands?" Father Ye and the others were dragged away by the two men, and they were all a little confused.
"Because Dongzi exposed all their old stories, causing them to be thrown away by the people."
"That's nonsense, you're obviously calling yourself an oily fish."
"You were the first to say it was an oily fish, but I didn't even recognize it."
"Then I'm telling you too, not as loudly as you."
"Yes, you said that."
Father Pei looked back while running, and quickly urged them, "Stop arguing and get on the tractor. I see that the flashlight over there keeps flashing around, and the crowd has dispersed..."
The others also quickly looked back and then quickly got on the tractor.
Uncle Zhou has been standing next to the tractor and dared not leave. He was afraid that if someone was not watching and something happened to the vehicle, he would not go anywhere. Seeing them running back in a hurry, he thought something had happened, but there was no one behind him.
Chase.
"Let's go, Uncle Zhou, drive quickly, go back to the guest house, pick up your luggage, and let's go home."
"You haven't gone home for a while yet?"
"It's almost there. Just come over and take a look. I'm not buying anything anyway."
"Oh, well, then it's almost daybreak when we go back and pick up our luggage."
"Yes, let's go quickly."
I don’t know what kind of gods those two fishmongers are, but it’s best to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
The world is so big. Next time I come back, I probably won’t know anyone. Anyway, he was standing behind in the dark just now, so he probably couldn’t see that clearly.
The tractor started moving and walked back along the way it came. It was getting light and the road could be seen clearly.
By the time they came out of the guest house, it was already completely bright, and there were many passers-by walking on the road. There were also many vendors riding bicycles selling steamed buns and buns, and there were also many small stalls set up on the roadside.
Having already left the farmer's market, they were not in a hurry to go back, so they found a stall on the roadside and planned to have breakfast before leaving.
Two big meat buns, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of soup.
Ye Yaodong was extremely satisfied with his meal. It had been more than two years since he traveled back in time. This was the first time he had breakfast outside. At home, it was either rice porridge or porridge. The difference was what was mixed with the porridge.
"The city is still lively. It's just dawn and there are already people on the road."
"There's a lot to eat. Look at this early in the morning, food is being sold everywhere."
"Before the 1980s, how would you dare to openly sell things to make money like this? If you did sell things, you would wrap yourself up tightly and do it secretly."
"Haha, it is getting better year by year, and I will definitely not go back."
Others nodded in agreement.
"Boss, give me ten more meat buns!"
"Why did you buy so many?"
"I'll take it with me for lunch on the road. Although there are still a dozen eggs, I'm already scared of eating them. Two buns per person is enough to fill my stomach at noon. Anyway, I'll have food when I get home."
"That's okay too."
Ye Yaodong paid for breakfast and took the ten meat buns wrapped in newspapers before everyone returned to the car.
In the city, having just finished eating, Uncle Zhou drove his tractor slowly, stopping from time to time when he encountered pedestrians crossing the road.
Some people also wanted to hitchhike and asked where they were going, but they were all rejected.
Ye Yaodong sat in the car and thought for a while. He thought that since he had come here, he couldn't just go shopping in one or two streets. This trip to the province was also to bring A Guang and others out to see the world. Of course, it would be best to visit all the provinces.
Walk around and see all the lively places.
Walking takes time, so taking a car is fine. They are just taking a look anyway, wandering around for a few hours and then going back. It is not a problem to get home before dark.
Before leaving the city, he discussed it with others.
Only if you see everything you need to see before going back will your trip be worthwhile.
Of course, everyone agreed and we have come. It would be a pity to leave now. We already arrived quite late yesterday.
Since he had no objection, he told Uncle Zhou to walk around the city, first visiting the edge areas, and then going to the main streets.
There are still few people in the early morning now, and there will be more people on the streets around 7 or 8 o'clock. If you take a walk around and see the lively scene, you can go back around 7 or 8 o'clock.
You had to ask for directions intermittently when you came here, but you don't need to ask so frequently when you go back. You should be able to get home when the sun goes down.
Of course Uncle Zhou has no objection to taking people's money and doing things with them. Fortunately, he hasn't left the city yet.
They circled around the city again, sitting on the tractor and craning their necks to look outside. It was just like sightseeing, and they didn't need to go down to stroll around. It was very convenient and save trouble.
As the sun rises, more and more people are active on the streets.
In October, the sun is still very hot, so most people come out for activities in the early morning when the sun is not yet strong. When it is almost noon, there will be fewer people, and then there will be more people when the sun sets in the west.
The time they spent sightseeing yesterday afternoon was similar to the time they spent sightseeing this morning. It was considered the time when there were the most people in the city.
Several people were lying on the edge of the raised wood, watching with great interest all the way, pointing to this building and that building with their index fingers and discussing back and forth.
Ye Yaodong held his camera and took a picture of what interested him. Some old towns will no longer be seen in the future. If you take a picture now, it will be an important material to keep in the future.
The development of the times can also be proved under his camera.
A Guang felt a little itchy when he saw him taking photos non-stop along the way. He wanted to buy a camera yesterday but failed to do so. All the electronic products for sale require tickets. When he went home, he planned to go to some alleys in the town.
Li Tao doesn’t need a ticket for the camera.
"Would you like to lend me a couple of pictures?"
"Didn't I take two pictures of you and your father at the entrance of the department store yesterday?"
"Take pictures of the lively scene in the city for me."
"Then I know how to shoot, so I don't need you. If I don't lend it to you, it's just one roll of film in total. I've taken a lot of it, so I have to keep some."
"Can I buy you a new roll?"
"Do I look like someone who is short of money for a roll of film?"
"hateful!"
"Oh, there is a movie theater in front of it. It's a pity that I don't have time to go in and see if the seats in the movie theaters in the province are better."
"It's the same when taking photos outside. Look at the ticket window. The queues are all lined up on the street. There are a long row of bicycles on the street. There are dozens of them. If they are stolen, they will be stolen one at a time.
allow."
The tractor drove to the front. Because it was near a movie theater and there were so many people, it could only move at a slow pace. When the tractor evened out, it gave him a chance to take pictures.
We wandered around, driving and stopping, until we had visited the entire provincial capital, and then everyone returned home with satisfaction.
Just when he was about to leave, Ye Yaodong saw Awei flash by. He was with two men beside a tractor, carrying baskets, watching their mouth movements, and soliciting passers-by.
Damn it, what a mess.
The basket they carried down was the oily fish that he had exposed in the early morning. They couldn't sell it at the farmer's market, so they changed the location and continued the scam?
The two men only saw the side and back, and didn't see the face. I don't know if it was true, but he could still recognize the fish from a distance.
Damn it, this world is really small. Yesterday I was polishing my shoes, and today I am selling fake fish.
If you can sell fake fish, why should you polish your leather shoes? I don’t understand.
As the tractor drove forward bit by bit, the scene on the street behind was also overwhelmed by the crowd, and Aguang didn't notice that they passed by familiar people again.
Ye Yaodong shook his head. Of course, it would be faster to make money by taking the wrong approach than by taking the wrong approach.
As he left the city, he put away the camera and put it back in the lockbox.
After sightseeing all morning, everyone was a little tired. After leaving the city, they sat down one by one, closed their eyes and rested, planning to rest for a while. There was still a whole day before we got home.
Ye Yaodong felt that this trip was quite satisfactory. The most important thing was to repair motorcycles. It was an unexpected surprise that the tractor factory was not far away. He also included large items that he had not considered before.
On the agenda.
Everyone walked around and got what they wanted. What A Guang planned next was up to the father and son to discuss.
After returning to the guest house yesterday afternoon, he took the opportunity to make a phone call. Ah Qing said that her father called at noon and said that several people wanted to sell their shops.
He also told Ah Qing that they were going back early this morning and would be home by evening at the latest.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately called the market and asked his father-in-law to answer the phone.
After chatting for a while, it was decided that he would go to the market at noon tomorrow and ask him to make an appointment with the seller to talk at noon tomorrow.
He felt very tired just thinking about it. In the past few days since he came back from Zhejiang Province, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had been running around on the road, either in the county town, in the city, and now in the province.
The key is that the current road conditions are too bad.
It was a bumpy day yesterday, and I felt like my body was about to fall apart last night. It was only after I got some sleep that I felt better.
We have another bumpy day today, and we have to run non-stop to the city tomorrow.
Those who ride horses are not suitable for running too far these days.
At first, he didn't think about opening a store in the province, but today he took a stroll and saw the bustling scene in the province, and everything was gradually developing, and the economy was beginning to sprout. He was also a little tempted to start a few stores in advance.
A store?
Now that he thought about it, he took the idea back, waiting for the road conditions to be better and the public security to be more peaceful in a few years. Now a trip would cost half his life.
The distance is too far, and if something happens, I won't know anything, and the law is not that perfect.
The market has a few shops and is very friendly, with my father-in-law watching over it. It's not too far to go to the city, so a trip every three days is acceptable.
When all the ships ordered by his family are available in two years, his life will become even better. Why should he run around like this? If he has two years to buffer, he will definitely be able to double his assets.
It doesn't need to be so tiring.
By then, if the road conditions are better, or in a few years, we don't have to go so far to the provincial capital, and we can buy a house or a shop in time.
Now let's slowly accumulate assets and choose the ones nearby. Anyway, he is already one step ahead of many others.
Ye Yaodong thought about it slowly and thought that he and Ah Qing had made a good plan before, taking care of the immediate situation and surroundings first.
After thinking about it, he felt a little drowsy after being exposed to the direct sun, but the shaking and bumping of the tractor also prevented them from falling asleep completely, so they could only rock from side to side.
It wasn't until he was hungry that he checked the time, took out another wad of newspapers, and divided two large meat buns between each of them.
There's still about half the way to go.
After eating, they chatted for a few words and then shut up. Occasionally, some passing cars passed by on the road, bringing up dust all over the sky. It was not suitable for chatting at all.
The old and peeling tractor drove along the winding country road, bumping along the way it came.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that they saw the familiar village in the distance.
Uncle Zhou also yelled energetically: "We're almost there. If you hold on just a little longer, we'll be able to enter the village soon."
By the way, everyone shook their heads and woke up.
"Oh, I'm finally home."
"We're finally home. I'm exhausted. It's not easy to travel far away. I almost lost my life."
"Yeah, it's better to take a boat. It's more comfortable. You can also play cards on the boat to pass the time without being so bumpy."
"I didn't feel uncomfortable when I went to Zhejiang Province, which is farther away. It's not easy to go there. I was scared even once and it hurt my butt."
"My butt is numb and I can't even stand up."
Everyone seemed to be recovering from the disaster, their faces looked brighter and their spirits were somewhat restored.
Uncle Zhou's voice came from in front of the tractor, "I came back just as the sun was setting. I can have a hot dinner when I get home."
They also stood up from their stools, held on to the board and breathed a sigh of relief, twisting their necks and waists to avoid being unable to walk for a while.
"It's really tiring."
I really want to just lie at home and do nothing.
"I never want to travel far away again."
"It's too early to say this. I have to go to the city tomorrow."
Aguang's shoulders instantly slumped, "Do we have to rush like this? Can't we rest for one more day before going to the city?"
"I made an appointment with my father-in-law on the phone last night. We can't change it. But we can sleep until the sun rises tomorrow. We made an appointment in the afternoon."
After all, the store has to do business in the morning, and there is no one available to discuss things in the afternoon.
"Okay."
Father Pei smiled and said: "Young people say you are not tired. When you go back, have a meal, take a bath, sleep and wake up, there will be nothing to do tomorrow."
Father Ye also nodded, "That's right, when we were the same age as you, we didn't even know how much work we had to do. It was all dirty and tiring work. Now it's just a ride in a car. It's not that uncomfortable."
"Like we used to, we didn't even have to sit in a car if we wanted to. We had to walk on two legs. We would have to walk for dozens of miles until we got blisters."
"Oh, okay, Dad, don't talk about the past anymore. Times are different. We have to move forward. In a few years, you won't even want to walk two hundred meters."
"Nonsense, you can't be that lazy."
"We'll see."
"We're home, we're home."
The tractor took Aguang and his son home first. After all, they were on the roadside. Aguang was the first one to jump in excitedly.
"You don't want the lockbox?"
"Oh, yes, yes... I breathed a sigh of relief after I got home and forgot about it..."
Ye Huimei knew that they would arrive home before evening this evening, so she had been sitting at the door waiting since the afternoon.
The same goes for Lin Xiuqing. The whole family, young and old, were sitting at the door waiting.
"Mom, why hasn't dad come back yet? The sun has gone down."
"Yes, I'm already hungry. Why don't you come back? It will be dark soon."
"It should be soon. Wait a minute. Let's have dinner together when your father comes back. Why didn't you run out to play today? Why are you waiting at the door of your house?"
"Will dad bring us toys?"
"It's a beautiful thought, but you have confiscated it. Are you still thinking about toys?"
"Every time dad goes away from home, he will bring us toys when he comes back. He will definitely not bring nothing with him."
"Don't you have everything?"
"But we also want new toys."
"Don't think about it, I will confiscate it for you..."
"I heard the tractor!"
"I heard it too!"
The three children stood up excitedly and ran out to have a look. Then they stood at the gate of the courtyard, jumping up and down.
"Dad is back!"
"I saw grandpa's tractor, dad is back!"
Lin Xiuqing, Ye Mu and the old lady also ran out and watched.
Ye Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, "It'll be good to come back. I'm so anxious to wait. It's actually taking so long."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, who were next door, had also returned from sea and were eating. When they saw the movement outside, the two families came out with their rice bowls to take a look.
After the tractor stopped, Ye Yaodong also jumped out carrying the password box.
"father!"
"father!"
"Third uncle!"
"Woof woof woof woof~"
The sounds of children kept coming and going, especially the three members of his family were surrounding his feet, and a group of dogs were also crowding around to join in the fun.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? I just went out for a day. How can I be so enthusiastic? It's like this every time. When I get home, everyone gathers around me."
"Then what's the matter? Although I only went out for a day, I also traveled far away. Not many people in the village have been to the province. Aren't you worried?" Lin Xiuqing took his suitcase with a smile.
"Oh, it's so heavy, what are you pretending to be?"
"I'm not pretending to be anything."
"Dad, did you buy us toys?"
"Want to eat shit?"
Ye Yaodong took out the money he had prepared in his pocket and handed it to Uncle Zhou, asking him to go back first.
Their whole family also walked around them into the yard, and members of the two brothers' families also walked toward his yard with their rice bowls in hand, greeting him as they walked.
"Did your trip to the province go well? Can the motorcycle be repaired?" Ye Yaopeng asked.
"It went smoothly. It went very smoothly. They said they would call me again in half a month to confirm whether it has been repaired. After it is repaired, I can drive it again."
"That's great, it can still be repaired."
Ye Mu immediately said happily: "Oh, if this motorcycle can be repaired and driven back, what would it be like? The whole village would have to come over to take a look and touch it."
"It's not that exaggerated. The leaders have been here many times. The villagers have seen it and most of them have touched it. When it broke earlier, some people came over curiously to take a look. After it was repaired and they drove back, they should be surprised.
No wonder."
"That's the only one in the village, and the whole town can rank high."
Sister-in-law Ye asked curiously: "Is the provincial capital lively? Is it more lively than the city? Is it the same as going to the market here?"
Father Ye hurriedly said: "That's much worse. There are buses coming and going on the streets in the city, and there are people riding bicycles all over the streets. The streets in the city are all flat. On rainy days,
You won’t even step on mud.”
"The buildings are more than ten or twenty stories high, and young people in the city are holding tape recorders, listening to tapes, and dancing in the park. Dongzi said that what they dance is... what is it called?"
"disco."
"Oh, yes, yes, that's it!"
"Ah! No wonder everyone likes the city..."
"A tape recorder!" Ye Chenghai's eyes lit up, "Uncle Third, when will you buy a tape recorder?"
"Why don't you call your dad to buy it?"
"Ah, didn't you buy it first and then our family will buy it?"
The old lady smiled and interrupted their questioning: "Don't talk anymore. They have just arrived home and are exhausted from the journey. Let them sit down and drink tea first. After dinner, you can talk slowly..."
Chapter completed!
