Chapter 628 A Good Start

Children have particularly good memories, especially if they have promised something but haven’t eaten it yet, they can recite it for many, many days.

Ye Yaodong persisted for three days while Ye Chenghu chanted the curse eight times a day. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and went to the town to buy two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda and bring it back to them.

One bottle costs 15 cents, two bottles costs 30 cents.

In fact, they are also sold at the entrance of the primary school in the village next door, but now that it’s Chinese New Year, the shops are closed and you can’t buy them, so you have to go to the town to buy them.

He regrets it, but he can't make random promises to children. With this promise, he will annoy you to death every day, just thinking about the soda you promised to buy him.

He is the only one who is easy to talk to. If it were his mother, would he dare to ask questions all day long?

"Don't throw away the bottle. You can get another five cents back on the bottle."

Ye Chenghu nodded and held the opened soda in his hands, nodding happily, "Then when we finish drinking and return the bottle, you can buy us two more bottles."

"Are you addicted to commanding?"

"Hehe, hehe~ Everyone is envious of me, saying that you are so kind and buy us food every day. When they come home and say they want to drink soda, they are all asked if they want to drink it."

"Nothing wrong, just a color!"

"Dad, I went out to play~"

Ye Chenghu couldn't help but want to show others the soda he just got. Now it was others' turn to envy him.

Lin Xiuqing muttered from the side, "You just let them get used to you and give them whatever they want. You will be lawless from now on."

"What's there in a bottle of soda? It's not something expensive and rare. Just be satisfied if you can. It's better for him to spend his own money. Anyway, you should educate him well. I won't teach him."

I opened my mouth to teach him a lesson, but was tricked. I almost got two bottles of soda, but fortunately I paid for it at my own expense, so I didn't need to pay for it.

"If nothing is valuable, why should we give them everything? No one's children will be as happy as they are. If we spend less money, we still have a lot of expenses waiting for us."

"I know, I don't have the money to buy anything for them."

Come to think of it, he does seem to be quite spoiled with his children.

However, of course his son would want to be satisfied as much as possible. It was not picked up, and it was indeed not very rare. In the future, any toy for those children would cost several hundred yuan. What does it matter if his son eats something?

Ye Yaodong made a comparison in his mind and instantly put behind Lin Xiuqing's concept of spoiling children less and saving more money.

Lin Xiuqing saw that his expression turned nonchalant as he hugged his daughter, and she probably understood that he didn't take it seriously. Fortunately, he didn't care about money.

"Should we weigh the dried fish from the eldest and second brothers first? My eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law asked again, when will our store in the city open? They said they might as well buy us some fireworks in advance."

"That sounds nice. Can you buy some fireworks in advance and send them to the city? You probably want to urge us to weigh them earlier, right?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "As long as you understand, I told them that we will transport the dried fish to the city before the fifteenth year."

"Anyway, it's been postponed until the Chinese New Year, so it won't take more than a few days. When the time comes, weigh it in the yard and put it in the yard, and then take it away at night. But you can't finish it in one trip. When the time comes, each person will weigh half or three parts first. One, and the rest will be transported on the second and third trips.”

He has to go back and forth anyway, so when he goes to the city next time, it will be nice to transport him there and save a toll.

"I guess they are feeling unhappy again."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We don't have anywhere to put it. If we transport it in one trip, it will take several trucks, which is a waste of fares. They have all been weighed, and the ones that can't be transported in one trip have to be moved around and moved into the house. If we have the weather to go out to sea later and dry them out, where will we put them? I don’t dare to pile them up because I don’t have a scale. They will be mixed together and there will be no place to put them. Anyway, I promised them that I will dry them all in the future, and no one else has done this. promise."

"Well, I'll tell them in advance later."

"Well, you just said that you can't finish it in one trip. If there is weather to go to sea in a few days, the goods that are put out will be mixed with the ones that have been weighed. So just make one trip and weigh one truck, and divide it into batches. transport."

"The army didn't call to ask for dried fish. Will they not want it after this year? I don't know if I will want it in the future..."

"Who knows, maybe we have to wait for a long time before we ask for it again, right? During the Chinese New Year, the soldiers also have to go home to visit relatives. Anyway, we can just wait. We can sell it slowly."

…

The couple chatted about the store and discussed buying some daily necessities to take with them. After all, they were the father-in-law and the mother-in-law, so they had to prepare all the daily necessities, pots and pans for them.

The cold wind is howling and the north wind is blowing. Except for the good weather in the first few days of the first lunar month, it starts to rain lightly. The village no longer has the lively atmosphere of the New Year celebrations a few days ago. When it rains, there are not even half a person on the road. There were no shadows, and every household was huddled at home.

I originally thought about shipping the goods after the 15th, but everything was ready, but God didn't like it.

It rained intermittently, and it wasn't until the end of the month that the sun came out again. Ye Yaodong also received a call from the army, saying that he wanted to send two thousand pounds.

On those days when it rained, the roads were not good and the transportation of food was inconvenient. It almost stopped, so as soon as it cleared up, I asked him to deliver it immediately.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. This was his big and only customer. He really had too much dried fish here and needed to get rid of some of it.

It happens to be sunny, make arrangements immediately. However, the 2,000 kilograms could not be lifted in one trip, so it was divided into two trips, and Team Leader Zhao had no objection.

After transporting the troops' goods, he took the opportunity to find someone in the city, installed two doors for his two shops, and then bought a small bed with an iron frame.

After making arrangements, I went to buy goods for my store and went to pick up my father-in-law and go to the city with my mother-in-law.

Although the second elder had made a decision, he was still very uneasy and felt restless along the way.

Ye Yaodong also felt a little embarrassed. They were already old and he had to ask them to help.

"Dad, I bought you a radio and played it in the store for you to listen to. You can just think of it as a pastime and don't feel any burden."

"Huh? Radio? You haven't even made any money yet, and you're spending so much money? What kind of radio should you buy? The two of us..."

"I'm afraid you'll be bored because you're unfamiliar with the place, so I bought one to pass the time. I've already bought it, so don't talk anymore..." Ye Yaodong saw the two of them opening their mouths to speak, and quickly interrupted them.

Older people tend to be more wordy. He was also afraid that they would be wordy, so he didn't tell them in advance. He would talk to them now to divert their attention and save them from being restless and uneasy.

The two opened and closed their mouths, and then looked at each other again. Mother Lin only said, "Your hands are really loose. You can spend this money without blinking an eye."

"It's time to save money, it's time to spend time." Riding a bicycle to the bar.

Nothing wrong.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were not his biological parents, but their father-in-law and mother-in-law. They did not dare to reason with him at length or say anything. I just said a few words casually, and when he didn't answer, I shut up so as not to offend others.

Along the way, the two elders looked at the distressed radio and had no time to worry. When they arrived in the city, their eyes were opened to the surrounding buildings, and they were attracted for a while.

They had the same reaction as all the country people who came to the city for the first time. They couldn't get enough of it until they arrived at the new market and were amazed again.

"Such a big market? There are so many people there. No wonder the shop costs 3,000 yuan each."

"This looks quite lively..."

The raincloth cover of the old market has been removed, and all the stalls have been moved to the new market. To today's people, the new market looks high-end and majestic. There are many people coming and going. goods, pushing various carts.

"arrive."

After Ye Yaodong waited for the tractor to stop, he jumped off first, and then helped his elders down.

"Bring everything to the store first, and then you can take your time and walk around."

"It seems like none of the shops around here are open? They're all closed, or they don't even have doors at all."

"It's normal. We just moved and it's normal that there are no shops to move in."

"This market looks quite lively, but no one seems to live around it, and it looks quite remote."

"It's not bad. There is a village in front of it. In a few years, the surrounding area will gradually become more lively."

Father Lin nodded, "Indeed, with such a big market and a lot of people coming and going, the surrounding area will definitely become lively."

Mother Lin urged: "Hurry up and move the things. Stop talking now. After you have settled them, you can walk around slowly and get familiar with them."

"Hey, right, right..."

They are all people who can do practical things and are not just trying to steal women. The truck full of goods was unloaded in a short time.

Ye Yaodong's shop was very close to the entrance of the market. People walking around saw them carrying goods there. Some looked very curious and even took the initiative to talk to them.

After knowing that every sack was filled with dried fish, some people became interested.

What Ye Yaodong didn't expect was that one of them was a traitor!

He was packing and moving things and had no time to introduce them in detail. He just answered the questions in a perfunctory manner. When asked about the price, he quoted a price casually. When people asked if it would be cheaper if the quantity was large, he refused adamantly.

Because he felt that these people who came to see the excitement would only ask casual questions. He was very busy and had no time to answer. Unexpectedly, the other party directly asked him.

"Then let's weigh 500 pounds first and see!"

Immediately, he and Father Lin and Mother Lin were dumbfounded, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

"No, comrade, what did you just say?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the short, fat, middle-aged man with a beard and a shrewd look on his side with a confused look on his face.

"I told you to weigh 500 kilograms of dried toad fish for me first. If it sells well, I will come over and buy more from you."

Now they all heard it clearly, and they were so happy that they got off to a good start as soon as the goods were unloaded.
