Chapter 459 Departure City
The families next door are all next door to Ye Yaodong's house, separated by a courtyard wall and two vegetable fields.
Their door also used the remaining gravel mud to level a large open space. On rainy days, there is no need to have puddles of mud everywhere, and there will be no yellow mud footprints everywhere when stepping into the house.
Zhou Da was still eating, Ye Yaodong sat on the wooden bench at the door and waited.
As soon as he sat down, other people came over, Zhou Da also came out, and they simply sat at the door and chatted.
On a hot day, sitting at the door and blowing the sea breeze is quite comfortable, not to mention that after the typhoon, the night is very cool, and the salty sea breeze is also a unique atmosphere of the sea.
"What are you talking about? Do you want to visit the city?" Zhou Dayi asked as soon as he came out of the house.
Ye Yaodong looked at everyone, you looked at me, I looked at yours, still hesitating there, he said: "Either plan to go raise your hand? Don't plan to go, or haven't decided yet, just keep it silence?"
Zhou Da raised his hand, "Yes, I want to go, but if the number of people is small, then forget it."
Ye Yaodong also raised his hand, "I am the same, it can also be regarded as going to see the world, after all, I have never left the county since I have grown up so much."
Others hesitated one after another. They raised their hands three times, but only two people were still hesitating. They were the two brothers of the Lan family.
There are six families living next to him, two brothers from the Lan family and four brothers from the Zhou family.
"If the two of you don't plan to go, there are enough for five of us, so we'll go directly to the secretary's house to help open a letter of introduction, and then apply for a tractor."
The folks in the village have nothing to believe, but they feel that it is too much trouble and too far away, and it is convenient to leave it for the dock to collect.
"Don't be a big man. You are probably the same as me. You haven't been out of the county in your life, right? Let's go out and have a look. Now it has changed, and everything is getting better. I heard that the city is different every day, and it must be better in the city, are you sure you don't want to go out and see the world?"
I don't know if Ye Yaodong's words moved them, they looked at each other, after Lan Da nodded, Lan Er also gritted his teeth and said: "That's fine, let's all go together, let's go out and learn a lot. "
Lan Da also said: "We also have a lot of goods. The price in the city must be higher than that of the dock, and we can sell for more money."
"Okay, let's go with seven people. I'll go to the secretary to open a letter of introduction. You should get ready and sleep if you want to sleep."
"I'll go with you", Ye Yaodong also stood up, "Father, do you want to ask the eldest brother and the second brother if they want to go together?"
Forget about a few friends, they went there late, and after a little research, the number is not that much, so don't bother.
"Yeah, call your two brothers, it's a trip anyway."
Father Ye hesitated for a moment, "I mentioned something to them earlier, asking them to consider whether they should also take it to the city. I don't know if they would like it? I'll ask."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Alright, then you can go and ask, we will take a step first, and you will go to Secretary Chen's house when you ask."
"OK."
After it was decided, everyone went back to prepare separately. Ye Yaodong and the boss of the Zhou family also walked and chatted with flashlights, and walked to Secretary Chen's house.
It’s already getting dark. It’s a rare night that the village is quite lively. Every house is brightly lit. In the past, in order to save electricity bills, everyone turned off the lights when it got dark, and went to bed after a while in the cold.
Today, every family is still queuing outside the pier, and the women rarely turn on the lights, waiting there while weaving nets, and the children are also running and jumping in front of the house.
The people who sold the goods early are also reluctant to sleep, and the talk is high.
"Those who sold early, they made a profit and caught up with a good price. Oh, by the way, didn't you sell the big thirty-seven cents and the small three cents for the batch in the morning?"
Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's right, there will be no one there. I sent it early and picked carefully. His grandma is a grandson, and I also sorted it in the same way. It didn't mix at all. To be honest, otherwise it wouldn't be good." As for being unwilling to send it to the pier like this. As long as I add 10 to 20 percent, I don’t bother and go directly to the queue.”
"It's good for you to choose carefully. No one is blind. Buyers will definitely check the goods roughly, and they will definitely sell for a good price."
"Hope!"
The selection is all done, and it’s all tied up, so it’s too much trouble to mix it in, anyway, that’s it.
They chatted as they walked. There was no one walking on the road, and they were basically sitting at their own doors, but the eyes from both sides of the road also fell on them. As soon as they passed by, some people started talking again.
Rural areas are full of gossip and talk.
As soon as Ye Yaodong and the others arrived at Secretary Chen's house and explained their intentions, Secretary Chen was surprised, but still gave him a letter of introduction.
It is to use a tractor at night. It is too late to say. It can be approved, but they have to find a few people in the village who can drive tractors to discuss who will go and how much they will pay. This is up to them to discuss.
Both said it was okay.
After they came out, they planned to find someone who could drive a tractor, and happened to meet Father Ye coming over.
"Your eldest brother and second brother said that they have been waiting in line for a long time, so they don't have to worry about it. The line is also moving now. If they are not stuck there, they will wait patiently and wait there slowly."
"Okay, then don't force it."
Father Ye actually wanted the three brothers to come in and out at the same time, do everything together, and make money together if they have a deal with each other.
After they made all the arrangements, they agreed to start at 10 o'clock, and then went back to their respective houses to sleep.
Four hours is enough. In the past, buses would drive slowly and stop, and they would have to wait for fifteen minutes when passing by the neighboring county. It would take just over three hours. Tractors drive slowly at night, and the direct bus should arrive in three hours. You can arrive in hours.
Ye Yaodong was afraid that he would not be able to fall asleep too early, so he deliberately drank two glasses of white wine with his father before lying down.
When it was almost ten o'clock, Lin Xiuqing called him, and he woke up.
"I boiled two eggs for you, and I also took a can and noodle tea cake, and put them together in the satchel I prepared for you. You are hungry, remember to eat."
"OK."
"It's also convenient to carry a shoulder bag, and it's not easy to lose it when you carry it in front of you. Remember to carry it well, so as not to be robbed."
Lin Xiuqing held a pair of shorts in her hand, and continued: "Also, I just sewed a hidden compartment for you with buttons inside these shorts. After the goods are sold, put the money in it so that it won't fall out. You get up and put on."
Ye Yaodong didn't take the shorts, instead he held her face and kissed her fiercely, "Honey, you are so thoughtful and caring."
Lin Xiuqing pushed him away with a smile, "Of course you have to be careful when you go out, not to mention that you are still traveling. Remember to come back early, and come back when the goods are sold out. Don't wander around, the more crowded places are, the more chaotic."
"Don't worry, I have a measure..."
"What's your sense of propriety? I don't want to say a few words, maybe you are wandering around, but my father asked me to tell you a few words, so that you don't run around and want to increase your knowledge. There will be more opportunities in the future."
"knew."
Anyway, it should sound better. Ye Yaodong took the shorts, and after getting out of bed, he took off the shorts and put on the ones that Lin Xiuqing had just sewed.
He also touched the hidden compartment inside, and felt that there was no sense of existence without touching it, anyway, the boxer pants were very loose.
After putting on his long-sleeved trousers, he went out. Lin Xiuqing also followed him, planning to see him off. This was his first time traveling far, and she was a little worried. He was such an unreliable person before. …
As soon as Ye Yaodong opened the door of his house, he took a look at the distant pier, where the lights were still brightly lit, and there were many flashlights shining on the shore, and there were quite a lot of people there.
It has been several hours, but I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of people, and I don't know if his eldest brother and second brother have sold out.
He took a few glances, and when he heard the chatter coming from the next door, he walked out of the courtyard and went to the door of Zhou's family. Others had already gotten up and chatted there.
"Morning!"
"Hahaha, it's still night."
"Ah, yes, it's still night."
Ye Yaodong smiled, feeling drowsy, it's still not early in the morning, so early.
Before they chatted a few words, the sound of rattling tractors approached after a while. He checked his watch and it was very punctual.
Everyone helped each other, lifted their own goods onto the tractor and stacked them well, and they were not afraid of confusing their own goods. They all had their own marks on the sacks.
Ye Yaodong is the same, the mark on his sack is Ye San, and the sack also needs to be bought with money, so of course it has to be marked.
After all the things were moved, they climbed onto the tractor. Ye Yaodong waved to Lin Xiuqing who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, "Go back, go to bed early, I'll be back tomorrow."
"Be careful, remember not to run around?"
"knew."
Others also waved at their family members standing at the door.
Shake the handle of the tractor slowly a few times, speed up after running normally, the car makes a rattling motor sound again, and when it reaches a certain speed, it relaxes and decompresses, and when it catches fire, the handle automatically exits. tractor.
"Xiao Zhou, it's okay to drive slowly, safety first."
"That's right, the typhoon has just passed, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and there are potholes everywhere, be careful, it's okay to drive slowly."
"Okay, I have a headlamp."
"We brought them too."
They all carried flashlights, and they all consciously turned on the flashlights to help illuminate the road ahead, safety first.
The tractor was driving on the mountain road, there were puddles everywhere, and the surrounding was pitch black. Fortunately, there were so many of them and they were not lonely.
also deliberately knocked down two bags of shells, and everyone sat on them.
Chatting all the way, the mood is uneasy and a little excited, but also mixed with a little bit of bewilderment.
Sleeping, there is another chapter to be patched up early tomorrow ~ I will try to recover and update together tomorrow, no more sewing.
