Chapter 558 Rumors
300 kilograms were sold in the army, and there were still more than 400 kilograms in the car. Ye Yaodong looked quite sad. It seemed that there would be a lot left over today, and he had to struggle to pick it back.
When I go to the market at this time, I don’t know how many kilograms I can sell?
"Hey, Uncle Zhou, when will it take you to get back after transporting the sand?" Ye Yaodong stood up and asked loudly to the tractor master in front.
"What time is it now?"
"It's 8 o'clock now."
"Then I'll send you to the market, and I'll go to the battlefield to transport sand. It'll probably be eleven or twelve o'clock when I get back."
Ye Yaodong thought for a while, it was almost time to go back at this time, otherwise he would set up a stall at the entrance of the station. Although he could sell a lot, it would not be safe.
I don't know if those little gangsters will go there again to look for someone yesterday. After all, they will be remembered for a long time if they were beaten. Is it normal to go to the place where they were beaten from time to time to see if they can regain their place?
"Dad, let's sell in the market for a few hours and then go back with Uncle Zhou's truck transporting sand? Don't go to the station to set up a stall. It's too chaotic. Go back early and save trouble. If you don't have a car to ride back, you'll have to be ripped off again. .”
"OK."
Ye Yaodong shouted to Uncle Zhou again: "Uncle, after you finish transporting the sand, why don't you go to the market and pick us up again! I'll add some money and we'll go back with you."
"Ah? You have several bags left. Can you sell them all? I won't be able to put them down until they are sold out."
"I should be able to sell one or two bags. Don't you have a few baffles on your car? Stand them up to make them higher to prevent sand from leaking out. When the time comes, we will fold the sacks on top of the edges and watch for ourselves. Or tie it to the tractor with a rope, that should work.”
"Okay, then after I transport the sand, I will go to the market to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you. Well, can you please help us keep it a secret for selling dried fish to the army? If this spreads out, it will be very exaggerated in the village. Everyone has no ability and no way to sell, and only You will be jealous, and you will have to cause trouble for yourself, so it is better to have one less problem than one more thing."
As he spoke, Ye Yaodong handed over a pack of cigarettes.
"Don't worry, I'll just drive, mind my own business, and keep my mouth shut. I also want to earn you more travel expenses. There aren't many people in the village who use tractors as frequently as you do. Except for weddings, no one is willing to apply for a tractor this year. A tractor would rather have its legs broken.”
"Hahaha, that's true. The folks are hardworking and hardworking, so they may be walking."
"However, you have such a good mind. You can also sell dried fish to the army. You are so capable. Who would have thought of that? That's the army. Most people can't even get close to it, and they can't find the way."
"Good luck, good luck."
"You should be making a lot of money, right? Can you tell me the truth?"
"Well, it's just hard-earned money. Selling to the army requires a way. It's not that easy, and it's cheaper. It's better to sell it at retail. It's just to save trouble."
"Indeed, otherwise we would have to sell every kilogram at a stall until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."
"Oh, uncle, please watch carefully, don't talk too much, and be careful of the holes in the ground."
Uncle Zhou was busy talking to him, but he didn't see the big hole in the ground, so he drove over it. He and his father almost jumped into the sky, but luckily they held on tight.
"Haha, I'm getting older and my eyesight is not working well. If I work for another year or two, I can pass my job to my son. Alas, there are too many sons. I don't know who to give it to? Whoever I give it to will have to fight... "
Father Ye agreed very much: "It's not easy to divide. It's just one job. If the division is unfair, several brothers will have to fight to death."
He knew very well that the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law had already been concerned about Ye's mother's work in the Women's Federation, and they often asked insinuating questions.
"That is to say, this job can be regarded as an iron rice bowl now. I have been doing it for so many years. If the village wants to find someone to take over, and they ask me to find someone, then I will definitely give the job to my son, and then pass it on from generation to generation. Just give it to me. It’s not fair to anyone. I’m afraid they’ll fight, and I’m worried, so I can only continue to work for another two years and see.”
Ye Yaodong kept his mouth shut. The tractor could not be passed down from generation to generation, but it could still be driven for many years.
Father Ye also discussed the topic of distribution with Uncle Zhou...
When they parted, the two elders still had something to say.
It was already late to come to the market at this time. It was sparse and there were not many people. There were not as many people as there were in the early morning. But Uncle Zhou had to transport sand. While waiting, he tried his best to sell as many kilograms as possible.
All the goods were moved down, and he searched around before finding an empty space.
We happened to be two stalls away from the man selling shrimp skin yesterday. He even said hello. People asked him why he came so late today? He explained a few more sentences.
The stall had only been set up for three hours, and it was not during the peak period of crowds. When Uncle Zhou came to pick them up again, Ye Yaodong had just sold out a whole bag of dried fish.
One bag only weighs about 60 kilograms. Some bags contain more, and some contain less. I don’t know the exact number. I have to go back and count the money to find out.
Before getting in the car, Ye Yaodong bought some fried beans this time. These are good for drinking or as snacks for children. Give them a handful and put them in their pockets. They can eat them for a long time and are delicious.
On the way back, he and his father also chewed the delicious ones. Today they sold them for more than 100 yuan, and both of them were in a good mood.
However, the good mood only lasts before getting off the bus.
He originally thought that when he got home today, his two sons would happily run out to greet him, but he didn't expect that he was the only one who ran out holding the dog in his arms.
Ye Chenghu, on the other hand, was poking the dog with a stick and playing in the yard. When he came back, he only raised his head and glanced at him, and then no one even bothered him.
When he came up to me, he only called me daddy.
Ye Yaodong knelt down and stared at him, "I'm back, and this is your attitude?"
Ye Chenghu pouted and said nothing.
But Ye Chengyang revealed his secret, "My brother was detained by the teacher after school, and he was beaten by his mother when he came back."
He raised his eyebrows, "What did you do? Still get detention?"
"He kept poking people in the back during exams..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing for a moment, "Do you want an answer?"
"You are the only one who talks a lot and is a good talker." Ye Chenghu glared at Ye Chengyang,
Ye Chengyang was suppressed by his bloodline and crouched down in fear and took a step back, "Everyone knows!"
Ye Yaodong smiled and flicked Ye Chenghu's forehead, and took out a large paper bag of beans from his pocket, "Okay, no matter how big the deal, each person can grab a handful."
"beans!"
The two brothers' eyes widened in surprise!
Where are the little emotions?
All that's left now is excitement.
"Ah! Dad brought us delicious food again."
Ye Chenghu took the lead and grabbed a handful and put it in his pocket.
Ye Chengyang also grabbed a small handful with his little hands.
The hands of the two are really small, they can count a few of them in a small handful.
But, it’s almost dinner now, just try a few, otherwise give them all, they won’t be able to eat enough. Although he also has a big bag in his pocket, but he gets angry, so the children should eat less, eh …Adults, eat more.
Ye Yaodong handed the remaining paper bag to the cheerful old lady beside him.
"Put a little in your pocket and chew it while listening to the show when you have nothing to do. It's quite fragrant."
"Just give them something to eat..."
"I still have..."
Ye Yaodong touched his pocket and looked around, but he didn't see Ye Chenghai and the others. It was a bit rare. In the past, these children usually gathered together to play after school.
"Where are you, Brother Ahai, and the others?"
"They went to the beach to dig for crabs, but my mother didn't let us go. She asked me to reflect on it."
Then forget it, no need to divide it.
When Lin Xiuqing heard the sound, she just ran to the door and took a look, then continued to cook with the spatula. Now she finished cooking and ran out.
Seeing Father Ye carrying bags of dried fish into the yard, she asked in surprise: "Why are there so many left? Haven't they been sold? Don't the troops want them?"
"I only want 300 kilograms first. If I need more later, I will call. You should also pay attention. If I am not at home when I am at sea, and you call me, you can pick it up and write it down for me."
"Hey, okay, you're back after the sales are over and you don't set up a stall, right?"
"It was put up for a while, but after the peak period in the early morning, it was difficult to sell. I only sold one bag, so there was no need to put it up anymore. I came back early today. I may go to sea at night, and the wind is not strong today. , it should be fine on the sea.”
"Oh, it's good to come back early and have a rest. We need to go to sea to regain our energy."
"Um."
Father Ye moved the bags of dried fish he had just unloaded into the yard and told him, "Please remember to move them into your home later..."
As soon as Father Ye finished speaking, everyone heard voices coming from the door of the courtyard, as well as the barking of dogs.
"The bags you just brought in were dried fish?"
"If you can't sell it, are you bringing it back?" It was the sisters-in-law from the next door neighbors who came over curiously.
"Huh? Yes, those were not sold out, so I brought them back."
There was no glitch in his words.
"Oh, if I had known we wouldn't keep any more today. Seeing how many of yours have been exposed, I thought I could sell them for more money."
"Yes, we also brought back several hundred kilograms of toad fish today. I heard that the dried fish will be more expensive and can be sold for more money. Oh, if I had known that I couldn't sell it, I would have collected it directly from the dock."
"Kill them all..."
Ye Yaodong suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He hadn't even been selling for two days before these people started to follow suit. He didn't know if word in the village had begun that he had made a lot of money again.
He didn't explain. Anyway, it would take several days to wait for them to dry. Who knew if the troops would still need them? If you want, just collect it from the folks.
A sister-in-law asked unwillingly: "Do you dry all the dried fish here? Or do you sell some?"
Ye Yaodong said honestly: "I sold a little, these are the remaining ones from today's sale."
"Ouch! There's so much left, so I guess we didn't sell a few kilograms today? It's not even enough for the fare..."
"You've been hit with a thousand knives, but I don't know who said you've made a lot of money drying fish recently..."
"It turns out it was all lies... I'm so angry..."
There is a high probability that it will be gone in the evening, so don’t wait any longer and go to sleep!
