Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 506 Buying Specialty Products

After confirming that he wanted to go back, Ye Yaodong was also very happy.

Lying on the boat at night and looking at the stars in the sky was very relaxing. He was really homesick after being away from home for so long.

After wandering outside for a while, he missed the warm atmosphere at home even more. He also missed the group of children at home surrounding him, calling him daddy, calling him third uncle, and so on. He used to think those children were annoying, but now he thinks about it. tight.

He also missed his wife. Occasionally, what he heard on the phone was all her advice and concern. He told her that he had sent money back to her, and her happiness only lasted a moment. What he heard on the phone was more of her messages. The worry over coming made him come back early.

The same goes for the old lady. You can hear her wiping tears while talking on the phone, and her voice is different.

If he had to do it over again, these relatives would be enough, and he wouldn't want much.

Thinking like this, he wanted to go back right away, feeling as if he was returning home.

Several people around him were also tossing and turning. They really wanted to go back, but everyone couldn't sleep.

Ye Yaodong was also there counting the money he earned during this period. The first time he remitted more than 2,000 yuan, and the second and third time he collected enough 2,000 yuan and transferred it back. Now he has more than 1,100 yuan on hand.

For more than a month, it had rained intermittently for more than ten days. In addition, they changed their location every three days, so it took a lot of time to find the village and they lost a lot of money.

And now that it’s coming to an end, the price has dropped significantly, and there’s only over 200 left over there.

Doing the math, he has earned almost 8,000 yuan in less than a month and less than two months since he came out. Then he will give 800 yuan to his father.

As for the wages, because I was not sure how long I would stay, I calculated them on a daily basis. For a high-priced part-time worker at 3.5 yuan a day, the total wages for three people would be about 500. At that time, each of them would receive two red envelopes.

They didn’t spend much money on food and drink, they were all bought from Haidilao, and they also spent 300 yuan on gas. This was because they didn’t go far, so they used some gas when they came. It cost him more than 60 yuan. Fishing for one day will save a little on fuel costs.

After another two or three days of earning, after calculation, his net income will probably be around 6,500.

After thinking about it for a while, he was quite satisfied. At least the risk he took on this trip was not in vain. The money from the two shops was earned back, and there was still some money left.

His eldest brother and his second brother will have less money. If divided between two people, it should only be more than 2,000 per person. However, they look very contented.

Uncle Pei also made a lot of money.

Ye Yaodong was calculating accounts over and over again, his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer, and he couldn't sleep anymore. People around him were already snoring one after another, but he was still very awake.

I am afraid of using my brain before going to bed. The more active my brain is, the harder it is to fall asleep.

There was no doubt that he had slept all night.

Not only settling accounts, he also thought about his past life and this life, silently comparing the completely different trajectories in his heart. People, after all, you still have to work harder to change the status quo.

By the time he fell asleep, lost in the lake, it was already dawning, but no one woke him up. Later, he was woken up by the dazzling light, and there were already several jellyfish piled up not far away from him.

"You didn't realize it until the sun was shining on you? Are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy? Are you a thief?" Father Ye asked casually.

"Where are you going to be a thief? Are you going to steal the boat next door? I won't be beaten to death by my brother and Uncle Pei, but I'm going back. I'm so excited that I can't sleep..."

"Well, hold on for two more days."

When you go out, safety is the most important thing.

They were about to return home, and they were very careful. When it was time to fetch water, they would go to nearby villages to pick up a few buckets, and they would take turns fetching water from the village. They would also exchange fish and shrimp for some vegetables, or go to the town to sell them. When shopping, buy some fruits and vegetables, and the next two days will be spent smoothly.

On the day after the end of the day, after Ye Yaodong got the settlement money, he paid them all their wages as soon as possible. He also went to the town to buy a piece of red paper and gave each of them a 30-yuan red envelope. They were very happy. I almost couldn't find the north.

The same goes for the two elder brothers and Uncle Pei. When we all come out together, we can't help but wonder if you have me or not? This kind of thing must be the same for everyone, and they must do what others do.

What's more, after earning so much, they feel it's okay to be generous.

Chen Jianian also said happily: "I'm back now. Everyone's harvest was pretty good this time. You came at the right time. I haven't heard of anyone in other villages making as much money as you. The money I earned from selling the goods today will be mine tomorrow." Go ask for it again and settle it before leaving the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then I need you to make another trip tomorrow. Let's have dinner together tomorrow night."

"Okay, okay~ Let me touch the light again..."

"It's just a win-win situation for everyone, let's make money together."

"Then you will still sell the jellyfish blood tomorrow, right? Otherwise, it will be kept for one more day?"

Ye Yaodong shook his head. He wanted to fly back now. He didn't want to be outside for a moment. He had stayed long enough and he didn't want to stay another day.

The jellyfish blood harvested today will be dried out tomorrow and I will take it home to eat. Uncle Pei also said that he will take it back to his sister for confinement.

Jellyfish blood is very good to eat during confinement.

"We plan to keep it for ourselves so that we won't have the trouble to sell it again. We have been running around so hard for more than a month. We can't afford not to have a bite. I'll bring some back for you to try when the time comes."

"Thank you so much..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the others again, "Let's just sleep on the boat tonight. Let's sail to the town early tomorrow morning, take advantage of the busy morning market to buy some things and bring them back the day after tomorrow, and then I'll go to the guest house to open a few rooms. Everyone Find a bathhouse and take a quick bath before eating. Have a good rest tomorrow night and go home refreshed."

"good."

"OK."

"Just arrange it."

Everyone has no objection. These days on the isolated island, water is not convenient. They don't take a shower very often. It's a hot day and they sweat every day. They already have a smell on their bodies. But everyone is the same. There is no need to dislike anyone. .

Ye Yaodong disliked himself very much.

When they arrived in town the next day, they were disliked by passers-by while walking on the road...

My self-esteem has been seriously hit!

Everyone saw a lot of disgusted looks, and some people pinched their noses and fanned around their noses with their hands. They also raised their arms and sniffed, and they all showed disgusted expressions.

"It seems to be quite smelly."

"It doesn't seem like it, it's already rancid."

"If you squeeze into a crowd to go shopping, you should be scolded, right?"

"It's hard to say. You might think we came here to beg for food. We will definitely be scolded."

Ye Yaodong was also disgusted with himself, "Forget it, let's go to the boat to get a change of clothes. Let's go find a bathhouse and wash up first."

"Good, it will save you the trouble of being disliked by others."

"I have never been so disgusted by passers-by while walking on the street. It's so embarrassing..."

"Who says it's not?"

Several people hurriedly ran to the boat. After getting their clothes and money with them, they shamelessly asked people how to get out of the bathhouse despite their disgusted looks.

In addition to being criticized for being lazy, lazy, and a waste, Ye Yaodong has never been criticized for being dirty... smelly...

For him, this feeling was more embarrassing than being criticized as a waste. He was not embarrassed even if others called him a waste.

As soon as he entered the bathhouse, he rubbed his skin vigorously. His skin turned red, but the result was very gratifying. A long strip of gray-black dirt came out, and a pile of it fell down like snow.

He estimated that if he collected them, he could get a piece of Hou Yi's elixir, but he didn't know if Chang'e would dare to eat it secretly.

Normally, five minutes of bathing is considered a long time, but today everyone spent half an hour rubbing each other before they walked out of the bathhouse one after another.

"I'm finally happy. I feel like I took a shower and lost several pounds."

"I'm the same. I feel like I've removed several pounds of dirt and feel refreshed."

"It's better to be cleaner. Once you're clean, you'll feel better..."

"Let's go, let's go shopping now..."

"Go faster..."

Now they could walk briskly into the crowd. Although they didn't use Rejoice, they regained their confidence after washing themselves.

Ye Yaodong also walked around the street looking around. It was early in the morning, and there were quite a lot of people on the street. People spoke various languages, mostly local dialects.

Various carts, bicycles, and many people carrying poles were crowded in the crowd, so he simply walked to the edge.

As for shopping, he didn't want to be crowded with people, and he wasn't a woman who liked shopping. Anyway, he just strolled around and bought a few cakes and a few specialties.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, there are many mooncakes set up on roadside stalls. They are called "rouppie, roudian" locally. Crispy, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and a salted egg yolk in the middle.

I don’t know why the locals eat so strangely. One cake is salty and sweet, combined together. I heard it’s delicious.

There are also pork scraps, which are also quite famous. Ye Yaodong buys some of them all.

When he saw someone selling Mahua, he also bought a bag. There were also sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, brown sugar cakes, and nine-layer cakes. He also accepted them all.

Anyway, there are many children at home, so I don’t have to worry about running out of food. Besides, when I go all the way out, I have to bring some local specialties to my father-in-law when I go back.

After calculation, he had to buy about ten mooncakes, and his father-in-law, two brothers-in-law, and several of his friends, and Ah Cai also had to give him one.

And Lin Jishang, Secretary Chen... some relationships need to be maintained better.

He counted it on his fingers, then went back to continue bargaining and buy more.

"Why did you buy so much, Dongzi? You don't need to give it to those relatives..."

"I didn't send it to any relatives. With you here, it's not my turn to be a favor. I brought it to my father-in-law's family and a few friends. Anyway, I made money and I gave it to my friends. This will save them from saying I'm dishonest."

"Then I bought too much..."

"It's not much. I'll take a look at what's there. I have a lot of children at home, so I have to bring something for my wife..."
