Chapter 462: Asking for Help
When I came, I felt nervous and confused, but also with a little hope and excitement. When I went back, I was just excited.
Looking at the scenery along the city, everyone's eyes couldn't get enough of it. Of course, it couldn't be compared during the day and at night. They couldn't count the number of high floors. They all wanted to ask the tractor to stop and let them count them. .
There are also bicycles traveling everywhere on the streets, people in bright and beautiful clothes, and vendors selling food who come and go shouting. They all have different mental outlooks. They are all full of vigor and full of longing and hope for future life.
At this time, they also thought that if they had money to buy a shop or a house, could they stay in the city and become city dwellers?
This is not a county seat, this is a city.
They couldn't help but think, if A Dong buys a house, doesn't that mean he has become a city citizen and a master?
There were some subtle changes in everyone's hearts. They felt that Ye Yaodong was already a step above them. Although they were not optimistic about that shop, they still bought a property.
If I move to the city in the future, I will no longer have to smell the fishy smell, blow the salty sea breeze, and be able to wear glamorous clothes for travel every day...
It's only a few minutes away, and the thoughts in everyone's minds have already changed thousands of times, and the thoughts in their hearts are no longer the same as before. Staying in the small fishing village is one day at a time, and it will be good if they can have enough food.
Which man doesn't have an ideal in his heart anymore? The reason why they didn't have an idea before was because their vision and life limited them.
It wasn't until we passed through the city center that the surrounding houses returned to their low-rise state. Now everyone calmed down again. It seemed like not all high-rise buildings in the city were there?
This low-rise residential area is similar to their cities and towns, but it is better than the stone houses in their villages.
"These city people live a really good life, and their clothes are so nice..."
"They can eat commercial food without having to work."
"You are so good at reincarnation. Why is this person different from other people? It will be great if we can eat commercial food someday."
"This seems to be quite difficult. You need to settle in the city and have a commercial grain household registration."
"Hey~ can Adong eat commercial food?"
"No," Ye Yaodong said firmly, "This is a shop, not a house. You can't settle here, and you don't have a food source."
"That's a pity. I would have bought a house if I had known about it."
Wenzhou's real estate speculators will live for several more years. Isn't it a waste of money to buy a house so early? And this is a city, not Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. It happened to happen today, so I decided to buy a shop first.
"You work hard and make more money. When the time comes, you can buy a house in the city, eat commercial food, and become a master. Anyway, if you keep the money in your hands, you can keep it. It won't be a loss to buy a house and put it there."
"How many years will it take to earn it?"
"You will earn more and more."
…
There was a typhoon and rain the night before yesterday, and it was cloudy all day yesterday. The roads were not dry yet, and there was no loess flying when the tractor drove over. Everyone did not need to eat dirt, and the passion for chatting was even higher.
If it were a sunny day and the bumpy ride back would have been a disgrace, there would still be a lot of boogers picked out of the nose.
The tractor was rickety as it walked, and from time to time it would encounter people walking or pushing carts on the mountain road. Everyone would just look at it with envy and then lower their heads and walk on their own.
Now I am really hardworking and can go very well! A pair of Jiefang shoes can travel all over the world.
When they almost arrived at the village, they calculated the toll in advance and paid two yuan per person for a round trip by carpooling, which they paid directly when they got off the bus.
When Ye Yaodong set out, Lin Xiuqing put a few yuan in his cloth bag. Now that he's home, after owing 350 yuan in foreign debt, he still has more than 6 yuan in his pocket.
He touched the jingling pocket and looked at his wife who ran out and stood at the door to greet him happily after hearing the sound of the tractor, and he smiled guiltily.
The others looked at him with a self-satisfied look on their faces, patted his shoulders, and silently lit some wax for him, and then walked towards their wives and children to greet them.
"Dad~"
"Third uncle~"
"Sister-in-law~"
A lot of children rushed over to greet him, and there were also a lot of pendants on their legs.
"Dad~Mom said this morning that you were traveling far away. Did you come back with a lot of money? Did you buy us delicious food?"
"Brother-in-law, why are you back so soon? Don't you go away for several days? Why are you so quick? It hasn't even been a day yet."
"Yes, third uncle, why are you back so early?"
A group of children were chattering and talking to each other. Normally he would still feel a headache, but now he didn't feel it anymore. It would be nice to delay it for a while!
"I went to do errands, not to have fun. I came back right after I finished my errands. I didn't wander around or buy anything."
Seeing the disappointed expressions of everyone, he dug into the cloth bag in front of him again. He didn't eat the canned food, noodles, tea and cakes that Aqing brought him at night. He only ate an egg while wandering around after selling out.
"Take these two and share them."
"Wow wow wow~ There are cans to eat again."
"There are also sweet noodle tea cakes..."
Everyone's faces turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant, and they became excited again. They no longer surrounded him, but ran away holding something in their hands.
Lin Xiuqing also greeted him with a smile, "You came back quite early. It's not even noon yet. I thought you wouldn't come back until evening."
"Ahem, I'll be back as soon as it's sold out."
Although Lin Xiuqing knew it was sold out when he came back empty-handed, she was still surprised when he said this, "All sold out, so fast? How much did it cost?"
"Ahem, the total is 150 yuan and 88 cents, the big one is 36 cents and the small one is 28 cents."
"There are so many!" Lin Xiuqing was pleasantly surprised. "This morning I heard from my elder sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law that the price had been reduced again outside the pier last night. They said the quantity was too much and they couldn't take it away. When they sold it, the big one was only 26 cents, and the small one was only 26 cents. It’s already 20 cents, and the last 30 or 40 households seem to have dropped it again, no matter how big or small, they only have 20 cents, saying they have mixed in too many empty shells, and the big and small are mixed together.”
"ah?"
"Fortunately, you sent it to the city. I didn't expect the price difference before and after to be so big. My sister-in-law and sister-in-law were both there in the morning and said that if I had known better, I would go to the city with you."
Ye Yaodong was thankful, "I knew it was hard to buy with money, and it was also because the villagers were messing around and disrupting the market. If they had picked things clean and carefully, they wouldn't have dropped the price so hard. It would have been cut in half." "
"Who knows."
At this time, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also came over.
Ye Yaopeng asked curiously: "Why are you back so early?"
"I'll be back after the sale."
"How is the wholesale market in the city? Are they sold at a good price?"
"The big one is thirty-six cents, the small one is thirty-two cents."
"ah?"
The two brothers frowned, thinking that the difference was not much, but it required travel expenses, trouble, and distance, and they were not familiar with the place. The queue at the pier was almost half full, and they were more conservative. .
Now I feel like I've lost a lot. I'm just a dime short, so 100 kilograms is just ten yuan short. Their total weight is 300 kilograms, which is more than half a month's wages short. I'm only out for half a day. Come back before noon.
Both of them wanted to beat their chests.
Ye Yaodong comforted him: "It doesn't matter, I will remember it next time. If there is a lot of goods in the future, we will deliver it ourselves."
"Hey, who knew the market price was so good?"
"Then other goods from our terminal will be priced higher in the wholesale market?"
"Well, it will be a little higher, that's for sure. People also want to make money."
He won't say how high it is, so as not to provoke hatred.
Seeing that they were still standing at the door, Lin Xiuqing quickly reminded: "Let A Dong go in and rest first? He didn't sleep all night and took a long car ride. Let him rest for a while first."
】
"Yes, yes, you go and sleep for a while. We will talk later."
In fact, he is not tired at all...
But it felt good to have his wife walking around him and asking for help.
"Are you tired? After riding in the car for several hours? You must be exhausted..."
"Are you hungry? It's not even dinner time yet, and I haven't cooked the rice yet. Let me serve you a bowl of noodles first!"
"Why didn't you eat the cans and noodles and tea cakes I packed for you? Why did you bring them back? They're not heavy!"
Ye Yaodong sat at the dining table in the main room, watching her busy going back and forth, and kept asking questions.
"There are so many people. It's embarrassing for them to see how much I eat. Even if I share it with them, they won't eat. Our own children haven't eaten enough. What's more, I'm not hungry either. Can I eat an egg to fill my stomach? It won’t be long until daybreak, and there will be people selling steamed buns at the entrance of the market.”
"That's good. Don't starve yourself when you go out."
"Well... Ah Qing... let me tell you something..."
"Dongzi?"
The old lady didn't know where she came back from now. As soon as she walked slowly into the house, she saw Ye Yaodong sitting there. Now she quickly walked forward excitedly and touched his arm.
"When did Dongzi come back? It was quite fast. I thought you would arrive in the evening or afternoon. If I had known better, I would not have gone out and waited at home. This is your first time traveling far away."
"Are you tired from the car ride? Did you eat well outside? Are you hungry?"
"I haven't slept all night. You have dark circles under your eyes. Is your wife cooking noodles? Then you can eat later and go get some sleep..."
As soon as the old lady saw him, she kept asking questions without giving him a chance to speak.
"I'm not tired, and it's not far, and..."
"How can you not be tired? No one can bear it after not sleeping all night, and you have to take a car all the way back and forth. Don't take it seriously just because you are young. When you are full, go to sleep well. Your health is important."
"It's a pity that the chickens and ducks at home are too small. Otherwise, I would kill one to make up for you. Those ducks have been very lucky these days. They eat fish and shrimps at the beach every day. I will catch a few more next year... …”
You need to catch a few more, otherwise there won’t be enough for the old lady to kill.
Other people's old ladies want to kill him during the New Year and festivals, but his old lady wants to kill chickens and ducks whenever she thinks he is tired, and she doesn't feel any distress.
"Where did you come from? Sit down and talk! The ground is not dry yet and everything is wet. Where have you been? I'm not afraid of slipping."
"Hey, isn't this just after the typhoon? Don't you worry about your brother Hong and your family? It was too wet yesterday, so I just thought I would go over and take a look today. I don't know what kind of leakage there is in the house. Can anyone repair it?"
Ye Yaodong was noncommittal. His eldest grandson was also a grandson, so he should feel sorry for him.
"My uncle is there to watch, don't worry."
"Well, Ah Qing, remember to fry two poached eggs and put them on top."
"I know." Lin Xiuqing just happened to fry two poached eggs.
"I'll light a fire for you."
"You can go listen to the radio or recite sutras, I don't need you."
"I can't sit still, you have to give me some life."
The old lady sat in front of the stove again and asked him what the city was like while lighting the fire. Is it hot or not?…
