Chapter 800: Behead First and Then Buy a TV
After Ye Yaodong finished his breakfast, he went to the room and fumbled around before coming out.
"What are you doing? If you don't hurry up while it's not raining now, you're running into the house instead."
He pretended to be nonchalant and lifted up the waistband of his pants, "Oh, it's nothing. I feel like the waistband of my pants is a little loose. Go in and get a belt to tie it up."
"Is it loose?"
The old lady rushed to answer, "I must have been too tired from going out to sea to catch squid during this period, so I lost weight, my waist became loose, my whole body became darker, and my face became sharp..."
"It's okay, okay, I haven't lost much weight..."
"That's because you are already thin. No matter how thin you are, you won't lose any weight. When I took a shower, I saw that you were covered in ribs and there was no flesh at all..."
"Ahem... I'll leave first before it rains..."
"Then go quickly."
Ye Yaodong quickly went out and pushed the cart away. He didn't feel guilty for lying, but the old lady's heartache made him feel guilty, so he had better run away quickly.
But I still heard behind me that the old lady was asking Ah Qing to buy a piece of meat to cook braised pork for lunch.
"Eat meat and grow meat..."
There are ten bundles, and a dozen bundles can be packed into a basket, plus two baskets. It is not convenient to ride a bicycle. Ye Yaodong simply pushes the cart and walks. If there is a TV when he comes back later, he can push it back. Otherwise, he won't be able to do it. Good to bring back.
It rained lightly all night yesterday, and it's still a bit cool today. It's better to be cloudy than cloudy. Although the road is not easy to walk and is muddy, it's better than a rainy day.
However, when he pushed his trolley past the small shop in the village, some curious people asked him.
"Ah Dong, what are you pushing? Where are you going?"
"Go to town."
He kept pushing the cart, trying to make the voice of greeting disappear behind him.
"Is that basket filled with squid?"
"It rained last night. I guess I got up all night to collect dried fish and squid. I don't know if they all got wet. Don't get bored if you get wet. This is all money..."
"I heard that his three boats didn't make much money during the flood season, which is not as much as what other small boats make..."
"It's all a result of messing around and losing money..."
"Ouch? Those things covered with cloth on his board are really cuttlefish? Shouldn't they be sold in the town?"
"It's possible. Didn't he say he was going to the town? I just didn't go out to sea today and wanted to see if it would sell well?"
"It's good to sell a little bit, and you'll lose less money. You can get some money by selling it. Let's learn a lesson this year and sell it slowly..."
The women at the door of the shop behind them were busy discussing.
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, so he kept his wealth to himself and couldn't tell it, otherwise he would scare them to death.
But it is inevitable in rural areas, not to mention that he is now a celebrity. It is normal for people to say hello and chat with him when they meet him on the road.
But when it was almost lunch time, he pushed a TV back and passed the canteen in the village on the same route. Those people's eyes were so surprised that they almost dropped to the ground.
The same people were there in the morning, weaving and mending nets and moving them around the shop so that there would be people talking and it would be more lively.
Don't ask them how they knew it was a TV. There was a TV set printed on the outside of the box.
"Hey, what is this? Is this a TV? Didn't you go sell squid?"
"My darling, did you bring back a TV set with me when you sold the cuttlefish?"
Everyone quickly put down what they were doing, gathered around it, and then wandered around the cart. Curiously, they touched it with their hands and took a closer look.
"Is it really a TV?"
"It's incredible. I went out and brought a TV here. Who's still saying that you haven't made any money? Why haven't you made any money?"
Ye Yaodong said helplessly: "This TV doesn't cost much, and the villagers can afford it. I just saw Uncle Lin Liu at the east end of the village in the town, and I saw him pushing a TV, but this He should still be wandering the streets."
"Ah, Lin Laoliu also bought a TV? I thought his mother-in-law was bragging. She said there last night that she was going to buy a TV for her family, and she actually bought it."
"Well, more than 400 yuan is enough. Everyone can afford it. It depends on whether you want to part with it or not. There is no need to be surprised. I will leave first and rush home for dinner."
I sent a smoke bomb to divert attention, and finally left the siege of these ladies.
There were still people going out to sea today, but there were not many people active in the village, and at this time, most people had started to have lunch. Ye Yaodong pushed the cart to the door of his house, and no one said hello to him along the way.
He looked at the open door of the courtyard and the dogs scurrying outside and barking one after another. He wanted to kick them hard. He was not ready to enter the house yet. What are they called?
The old lady heard a group of puppies barking there. She raised her head and looked at it. She said with a smile: "Dongzi is back. Come in quickly. It's almost time to eat. You're back at the right time."
"Hey, here we come."
Ye Yaodong responded, stood there and hesitated for a moment, then raised his head again and pushed the cart in.
He is the head of the family, so why not buy a TV set! What's wrong!
When Lin Xiuqing heard the movement outside the house, she also smiled and walked out while wiping her hands. Ye Xiaoxi also followed behind her, running out in a hurry.
"You're back? Just in time, you can wait until the child comes back... Huh? What's on your cart? It's so big?"
"Ahem, when I went to the border station, I happened to see that they had just confiscated another batch of contraband..."
"TV set!?"
"Wife, wife, listen to me..."
"Where did you get the money?"
When the old lady heard the TV, she quickly came over and said, "Hey? Why did you come back after buying a TV?"
Lin Xiuqing continued to glare at him with an angry look, "You came back quietly carrying a TV, have you become more capable?"
"Haha, let me tell you, there is no store like this after passing this village. This TV is only 300 yuan, which is 13 cheaper. The ones sold outside are all selling for 450 yuan. This one only costs me 300 yuan. We can make a lot of money. It’s been given out, you know? It’s so cheap. If it’s just sitting outside, you can’t buy it even if you want to!”
"Uncle Lin Liu from the east end of the village, I met him on the road. He said he bought 450, and he looked very proud of it. I saw it when I went to the border defense, and those people said that if I wanted it, it would only cost 300. It’s just a buck, am I worried that there won’t be this shop after passing this village?”
"People bought it for 450 yuan. Wouldn't it be stupid if I didn't buy it for 300 yuan? So I gritted my teeth and bought it with all my heart."
"Honey, this TV we bought is definitely worth the money! Think about it, even if we don't use it ourselves, we can make 150 by selling it. How can we make 150 so easily? What do you think? Don’t I have to buy it back?”
"Right? Look, let's buy it back first, and then we'll see who wants it. If we sell it to others for 450, we can still make 150. How easy is it to make money?"
"Haha, if no one wants it, it won't be a loss if we keep it for ourselves, right? Haha, it's fine if we keep it for ourselves, no loss, no loss, and we'll make a profit..."
Ye Yaodong used his sharp tongue and talked non-stop to Lin Xiuqing, using all his skills in an attempt to make her feel that he had gotten a big deal!
But who is Lin Xiuqing? Pillow person!
Still don’t know him?
She stood up on tiptoes angrily and wanted to grab his ears, but he followed her and stood up on tiptoes. She was so angry that she was not high enough and he tilted his head, so she could only slap him twice.
"Don't bullshit me, tell me first, where did you get the money to buy the TV?"
"I took it from the drawer, where else could I get it. As the head of the family, what's wrong with taking some money? Isn't this because I want to go to town, just in case?"
"Just in case, do you need 300 yuan? With 300 yuan, you can buy a few people to come back and serve me!"
"Ah? You can't buy an individual for 300 yuan, right? No, that's a bad habit in the old society. How can you think like that? We are now a new society. How can we, who grew up under the five-star red flag, buy and sell people?"
"Stop talking to me and taking the money from the drawer. Why don't you say anything to me after taking 300 yuan? That's a lot of money!"
"Actually, I took 500 yuan... ow... oh... oh... please be gentle... it will hurt..."
When Lin Xiuqing heard that he had taken 500 yuan, she couldn't help but slap him hard several times.
Let's just talk about how she sneaked into the house after breakfast. She looked a little guilty when she came out. She kept holding on to her pants, and she really thought they were loose.
This dog man!
The old lady beside her couldn't help but say, "You deserve it! You deserved it! You don't have to say a word for taking so much money, and you don't say a word when you buy a TV. You deserve it!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but hit his leg with his crutch.
"Who spends money like this and brings back a TV without saying a word? It's so big and expensive..."
Ye Xiaoxi saw her father being beaten by her mother and then being beaten by Mrs. Ye Xiaoxi, her eyes widened and she shouted "beat me!"
"If you don't behave well, beat me! Beat me, rake me~"
Ye Yaodong was speechless. He bent down and pinched her little cheek. What was he doing all this for? Didn't he just buy it and show it to the three women at home?
He didn't have time to watch it himself, it was almost because of them, but in the end, these three together wanted to beat him.
"I was thinking that if something unexpected happened on the day, if something happened on the way, having money in my pocket would help. That's why I brought so much money. Who would have thought that there would be bargains to be found at the border station."
"I believe your nonsense and your inability to make up a good excuse. It's obvious that you went there with a purpose in mind. How could you still think about sending squid to others despite all the good things I said? It's all for a purpose."
Lin Xiuqing was furious and pinched him again. Fortunately, he was on guard. He clenched his fists and arched the muscles in his arms, so that she couldn't pinch him even if she wanted to.
"How do you call this purposeful? I call it building relationships. It's right to build good relationships with people in the system. Some people can't find relationships even if they want to. Isn't this ready-made? As long as we make contact, it will definitely be useful in the future. .”
"So you bought a TV. You said it's useful because it's convenient for doing these things, right?"
"Haha, you can't think like that. Wife, you have to think that we got a big advantage. We bought it 150 yuan cheaper than others. It's a good deal. It's only 300 yuan. It's not a loss at all. Uncle Lin Liu bought it. 450. If you don’t believe it, you will know when he comes back later and he will be showing off on the street.”
