Chapter 257 Picking Out the Best

After the villagers asked each other how to do it, they happily ran around and told each other.

The cart also parked again in the open space of the grain drying field. The villagers who had been waiting aside with small benches and round winnowing baskets early in the morning gathered around them as soon as they saw it, for fear that if they were too late, there would be no goods for them. Picked.

Ye Yaodong also took a look, and planned to go to his old house and tell his mother, as this kind of thing usually involves his mother.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, he saw his mother and his little sister running in a hurry while holding a stool and a round toss.

So well informed!

"What's the rush? What about that big cart of Shopee? The whole village can pick it up in one day."

"I'm afraid I'll be late and won't have a seat. Since you have nothing to do, go and call your eldest sister-in-law and your second sister-in-law over. Otherwise, they will be far away and no one will talk to them."

As Ye Mu said that, she hurried away without waiting for his response.

He shook his head and had no choice but to go home and tell his two sisters-in-law. Unexpectedly, his wife was also quite moved.

"I'll go too, I won't be tired just sitting there and picking..."

Ye Yaodong looked at her with faint eyes, and she glared at him, "I can't tell why you are like this. I haven't seen you so nervous before the two of you."

"That's different. When you stood up last night, your vision went dark. You almost fell. Did you forget?"

"I can't sit still, I'll be careful," she said, while looking for a round to winnow, and whispered, "Some people still go to the mountains to chop firewood when they are seven or eight months pregnant. I am only four months old." , The belly is only a little bit small, and once wrapped in a cotton jacket, who can see..."

She babbled for a while, then took the bench and prepared to go out. Ye Yaodong had no choice but to go up and help her get it, "Then pick it up and come back in a while."

"Uh-huh."

The children are like little tails, running ahead and jumping up and down.

When I arrived at the grain drying field, my dear, it was already densely packed with people. They were basically women, old people from the village, and some half-year-old children. There were very few young and middle-aged people, and most of them went to work.

In the venue, everyone had a round dustpan on their knees, either holding a ladle or a small basket in one hand, and playing with the shrimp skin in the other hand.

Some people just pick it up with both hands, put it in the corner of the winnowing table, wait for a while, and put it directly into the water ladle.

At this moment, the driver of the big truck stared directly at a woman and said, "Take out all the shrimps in your pocket. I won't let you choose. Let's weigh these small fishes. You can go."

"Ah...I...I didn't..."

"I've seen you grab a lot of dried shrimps and put them in your pocket. I invited you to pick them, not to eat them. I just tried a couple and stuffed a lot of them into your pocket. Then I took them all out and put them in your basket. Take the little miscellaneous fish and weigh it, I don’t need you anymore.”

The woman's face turned red instantly after being exposed in public. They were all from the same village. No one knew anyone. She felt that she was instantly embarrassed...

Other people who also had their pockets filled were a little embarrassed and quietly took it out. If they were caught, their face would be lost, and they would become the talk of everyone in the village. Not everyone can be so shameless. not give a damn about.

She blushed with embarrassment, listening to other people whispering there, and hearing her mother-in-law's curses saying that she was embarrassing, she couldn't bear it, didn't take anything, and ran away with her hands covering her face in embarrassment.

At this time, the driver of the big truck shouted to everyone again, "No stealing or eating is allowed. Take out all the shrimp skin in your pockets, otherwise, if you find out, you will have to pay compensation..."

Only then did the crowd become more honest, and they all looked for opportunities to take out the shrimp skins in their pockets. Some people did not dare to move their cheeks anymore.

As soon as I arrived, I saw a lot of excitement. Ye Yaodong also said to Lin Xiuqing: "Shopee is a calcium supplement. Wait a while and we will buy some back."

Lin Xiuqing nodded and grabbed her son who was about to reach out to Mother Ye, "You are not allowed to eat it now. You can only eat it after buying it. Otherwise, you will be treated as a thief and your hand will be cut off. Are you afraid?"

"But others..."

Ye Mu quietly took a small amount and stuffed it into Ye Chenghu's mouth, and he immediately started chewing...

The couple immediately frowned. When teaching children, they are most afraid of such pig teammates.

At this time, the driver of the big truck shouted at the top of his lungs: "Adults should also keep an eye on their children, otherwise the money will be deducted during the weighing. We have two people patrolling and will remember who of you eats secretly. If this happens again, , let’s leave, we won’t be picked..."

Suddenly, the curses and the crying of the children sounded at the same time...

Lin Xiuqing couldn't say anything to Mother Ye, so she could only stare at her eldest son, "Did you see that? You can't take other people's food and eat it. Everything costs money. You can only eat it after your parents buy it."

"Oh well."

Ye Chengyang didn't eat it, and didn't dare to reach out. He could only watch there eagerly. After calling him father, he called him mother, and then called grandma. With his salivating look, everyone knew he was greedy.

Ye Yaodong patted his head and said, "I'll buy some for you. Follow me."

The driver of the big truck didn't expect that there were people who were so smart and willing to take the initiative to pay for it instead of stealing it, and happily weighed in on the goods.

After Ye Yaodong filled the pockets of the two children with Shopee, he also pulled out two cigarettes and started chatting with them.

It turned out that this cart of shrimps was brought back from Shenjiamen by fishing boats, and several carts were also brought to nearby villages for people to pick them. There were too many impurities and small fish in them, and they needed to be picked before they could be packed into boxes.

Thinking that Aguang and his father went to Shen's house to engage in shop sales in his last life, and only made some money after changing his name when he was in his forties, he couldn't help but pull out two cigarettes and chatted with the driver.

“There are so many shrimps in the Shenjiamen waters, but our fishing boats are small and we can only fish offshore, so the output is not high, the efficiency is poor, and there is no equipment. The shrimps cannot be put into the boat to be dried directly, so it’s just so-so... "

A Guang also came over at this time. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "It's good to trawl the net at home. My dad wanted to go to Shen's house with his friends a few months ago, but luckily he didn't go."

Hum hum... If you go, you won't be my brother-in-law, you will have to be a middle-aged widower.

"Why didn't you go to sea today?"

"The machine broke down, so I had to come back in the middle of the journey. I just had two days of rest."

After chatting for a while, the two of them went to help pick out the shop skins. Ye Yaodong helped his wife pick them, and Aguang of course helped Ye Huimei pick them.

But not long after the farce ended, the children running around saw Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang had their pockets full of shrimp skin, and they also ran to tell the adults at home that their pockets were full of shrimp skin, and they wanted it too.

The adults were so noisy that they quietly grabbed a handful from their pockets, thinking that if others could do it, they could do it too.

Who knew that he would be caught on the spot again.

"You weigh the dried fish in the bag, I don't want you to do it anymore."

"Why, they can fill children's pockets, so they can't do it."

Ye Yaodong heard the noise and looked up, only to see Ah Wei's wife pointing at them with her index finger and speaking with her neck stiffened.

They all belong to the Xu family. No wonder they can be shameless and bite others with confidence when they are caught.

"Since they bought it themselves, take out the shrimp peels from the children's pockets, weigh the groceries and then you can leave. You are not needed anymore."

"How can it be……"

"Why is it impossible? Do you think everyone loves to take advantage of them? They just pay for them themselves, and there is no need to weigh them. These little trash fish are worth what you just ate in secret or what is in the pockets of children."

Awei's wife was a little unconvinced and wanted to argue, but Awei stopped her and scolded her. He felt it was too embarrassing.

Ah Wei's wife didn't notice it at all. She threw away his hand and packed her things there, cursing, "He's your friend. He fills the kid's pockets with shrimp skin to tempt people when he has nothing to do. He's burning too much money..."

"Shut up……"

His wife was holding a round bucket and a stool in her hands. As she walked, she turned around and gave Ye Yaodong and his wife a hard look.

Ye Yaodong watched from a distance and cursed, "I am happy with those who step on the horse."

Lin Xiuqing tugged on his sleeve and said, "Don't worry about me."

Ping Bai felt a layer of blockage in his heart. Depressed, he went directly to the driver for advice.

"You can't stop them from eating. I suggest you take back all the shrimps first, and then weigh each of them ten pounds. After picking up, the shrimps and the small fish will be weighed together. If the total does not weigh ten pounds, , the missing few taels will be directly deducted from the wages, and the quantity can be repeated in the notebook."

The driver's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, "This is good, so you don't have to keep staring at them to watch them eat."

After Ye Yaodong returned to his original position, it didn't take long for the two people to discuss it and directly ask everyone to come over and weigh themselves, and then implement his method.

Now no one dares to eat too much secretly, which saves trouble once and for all.

Occasionally, I could hear some beatings and scoldings, and the sound of children crying.

Ye Yaodong chatted with Aguang while picking, and he thought it was quite interesting. They sat like this for two or three hours, and the couple picked a lot. When they got home at lunch time, they weighed 6 cents.

This job can't make a lot of money, it can only be said to be fun, but for the women and old people in the village, it's pretty good and easy. After all, you can't make even one yuan a day from weaving nets, and you can also sneak a few bites. The problem is Not big.

After lunch, Lin Xiuqing went to pick shrimp skins again. Ye Yaodong turned over the dried fish and planned to go to the sea to collect the ground cage. The tide was low in the morning and he couldn't go out. In the afternoon, the tide just arrived and he could go out to sea.

Since he collected it before the earthquake, he did not collect it again after the earthquake.

On the night when he killed the toad fish, he asked his eldest and second brothers to collect it for him when they came back. However, they came back late the next day and did not collect it.

When he came back to collect it yesterday, he said he couldn't find it. He wondered for a moment whether it was gone, and planned to go out and take a look when the tide rose in the afternoon.
