Mrs. Ye said with a smile: "It's not so easy to dig these shellfish on the island. No one has stepped on those reefs for a long time. They are slippery. We almost fell off several times."
Second Sister-in-Law also hurriedly agreed, "That's right, look at our hands, even though we were wearing gloves, we were cut several times."
"Also don't look at the amount of meat we dug up, one cart after another. In reality, there is really not much meat dug out, and it will be even less after drying."
"I'm tired and exhausted. I stand there all day and come back to work. I can't sleep well. The money is not so easy to earn. I don't know how much I can sell it for. Try something new, it hasn’t even started selling yet.”
"That's right, I have been busy for several days, but I still haven't seen the money. There is only a small amount of it in the sun. I'm ashamed to ask Ah Qing to weigh the money..."
The two sisters-in-law spoke out all the disadvantages of each other, just because they didn't want someone to divide their interests.
In fact, what they said was not wrong. The dried mussels that were weighed yesterday were just counted. Because the quantity was not large, they did not pay directly. They also said that they would count the money together after all the dried mussels were dried .
However, people have fallen in love with this cake, but they haven't tried it, so why would they give up so easily?
The neighbor women continued: "That's okay, it's better than weaving nets at home and earning a few cents."
"Yeah, I see that there are quite a lot of drying in your shop, Guanghai Oyster, I can see you open two or three pots every day."
"I heard that you asked your own father to pick it up and sell it in the town every day, right? This should also sell for a lot of money."
All the people present nodded their heads, and the sea oysters were quite easy to sell in the town.
"I can sell a little if I can sell it, otherwise I haven't made any money after working for several days. Isn't it for nothing?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "When A Dong comes back, you can ask, he rides a bicycle fast, and he should be back soon."
"Yeah, Ah Dong bought a bicycle, why didn't you buy one?"
Second Sister-in-law Ye pursed her mouth, "Where do you have that spare money? It's not like you can't walk with your feet? Why didn't your family buy them?"
"We just built a house, where did we get the money?"
"Yeah, you guys just built a house, we just built a house and bought a store, where did you get the money? You don't have money, and we don't even have money." The second sister-in-law Ye was straight-hearted, saying whatever she wanted, regardless of what others listened to. Will it be embarrassing.
"Hey? Ah Dong sells dried fish so well in the city, don't you also have a store? You can also sell it, otherwise it will be empty..."
"We also think about it. The key is who to ask to sell it? If you don't know the place well, who is willing to go? My father is old, how can he leave his house and go outside?" Sister Ye sighed, Said.
Of course they thought about selling it by themselves, but they couldn't find a suitable person to go to the city to look at the store. How can they rest assured that the money is in the hands of others?
Who knows if it will make them work for nothing?
It would be easier to sell all of them directly to A Dong. You don’t need to go, and you can get the money in one go.
"brother…"
"Brother doesn't have a real father to make people believe it. It's hard to say whose pocket the money from the sale goes into, but don't worry about the exhausting work on my side. The money goes into my brother's pocket. It’s not easy to take it back.”
"It seems that my own father is not safe..." Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't help but look at Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "My father can't do this. His palms and backs hurt like that. Every day, he sends me this and that all the way. He has been selling them in the city for a few days. Ah Dong Hui went back to the past, and he gave him the money to bring back."
Whether it will cut off the flow is hard to say, what is popular with people, so much money is handed over every day, but generally speaking, they have a lot of money in hand, and this is enough.
Otherwise, without the second elders, they would not be able to earn this money. Her own father, she still wants to believe it.
Sister-in-law Zhou smiled awkwardly, and echoed, "That's... that's... my own father is different..."
Lin Xiuqing stopped talking. Seeing the sun emerging from the clouds again, she looked up, then moved the stool in one direction, sat with her back facing the sun, and continued to pick.
At this moment, only a few of them were sitting there talking. Father Ye, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua all carried baskets of sorted shellfish and went to the beach to clean them.
Choose the nearest one, carry it back after cleaning, and then just pick up a few buckets of clean water and rinse it a few times, so as not to waste fresh water, and carrying water all day long is also very tiring.
Ye Yaodong didn't go there for long, Ah Guang and Father Pei went to work in the field, and Ye Huimei was the only one at home. He went over and put down the money, said it was the introduction fee, and then came back.
Ye Huimei didn't know what was going on, so she had to leave it alone until the father and son came back to deal with it.
"A Dong is back!"
Everyone looked over, Ye Yaodong was also stunned, what happened when he came back?
As for everyone standing up to greet him?
"When did I make such a big show? Why did you all stand up when I came back? Sit, sit, you're welcome, it's time to work..."
Lin Xiuqing was amused by what he said, "Stop talking nonsense, the sister-in-laws of the Zhou family said that they can also go to the island to dig these shelled ones, and ask if you want to charge more? If you want, they will also dig them out for drying. Then sell it to us."
"Okay, the more the better, but you have to be careful, if anything happens, I will not be responsible." He also didn't get off the bicycle, and stood on one foot on the ground to prevent the bicycle from falling down.
"Okay, definitely, we will be careful." The neighbors and sister-in-laws were all happy, and they could get an extra income.
Although the two sister-in-laws were a little unhappy, they couldn’t say anything. They could only be thankful that they had been digging for a few more days. They had already been to the nearby islands that were easier to visit, and they could only look for a small island that was a little further away.
"I'm home cooking, Ah Qing, I'm hungry!"
Ah Qing stood up immediately, took the rag on the basket and wiped it, and followed him home.
Seeing that she was gone, Ye Xiaoxi stood up from the cage, screaming, and suddenly a mother came out of her mouth.
"Cool...cool..."
"Huh? Can you call?" Lin Xiuqing turned around in surprise.
Ye Yaodong was also surprised, "Finally able to call people? Every day I can only call ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh today?"
He immediately got off the bicycle, put his foot on the brakes, and walked over.
"She is impatient after seeing Ah Qing leave," the old lady said with a smile, "It's been eleven months, and it's normal to be able to bark."
"cold…"
Lin Xiuqing happily carried her daughter out of the cage, "I didn't bring you home with me, so I'm impatient? Right? I'm going back to cook, so you can play here."
"It's okay, I'll hold her, you go to cook, and push the bike back by the way." Ye Yaodong couldn't wait to take the child from her arms, the child can't call him yet.
He has to teach.
But Ye Xiaoxi didn't cooperate that much. He held on to Lin Xiuqing's clothes, so he had to follow behind first, and then took the child back to the house after following home.
When Ah Guang came to the door, he saw Ye Yaodong lying on the bed with his daughter, facing each other, looking stupid.
"Daddy? Your name is Daddy?"
"Dad?"
"Otherwise dad will do?"
"Call, Daddy? Daddy?"
"Dad?"
"Hey! I'm here!" A Guang leaned on the door and said meanly.
"Grass, get out!"
"Hahaha, you have been calling your daughter daddy and daddy. Didn't I feel sorry for you and give you a response?"
Ye Yaodong turned over from the bed and sat up, looked sideways, and said angrily: "I am training her, teaching her, after two months, you will have to call your daughter daddy!"
"Cut~ I'm not as stupid as you!"
"What's the matter, come to the door for a special meal, how about a meal?"
"There's no more rice in the pot, and I was sent out to see if I can eat two bites?"
"Do you want Yonedako?"
Ah Guang was stunned, what is Yonedako?
"What?"
"Poop!"
"Fuck! So you eat this thing every day, so I can't take the money." A Guang took out a handful of folded banknotes from his pocket and put them on the bed for him.
"Why did you return it again? This is for your father."
"My father said no, he was just passing on a message and doing a favor, and he didn't make a living as an introducer. We are not outsiders, so we will meet outsiders when we come and go."
"How much do you charge?"
"No need, my family is not bad at this point. My dad said he was just helping out. Even if it's not you, others are the same. It's a matter of convenience. Besides, you are collecting dried fish, and everyone in the nearby ten miles and eight villages knows it. Ask a little , people can come to the door by themselves.”
"Okay! Then I won't be polite to you, and I won't let you go."
He was also not good at pushing and pushing. Seeing the sincerity of what A Guang said, they were not outsiders, so they just accepted it. Anyway, they can make up for it later.
Come and go from left hand to right hand, it is a family.
"Have you ever thought that you are making more and more noise now? In the morning, the big liberation drove directly to the village. It looked very beautiful, but the villagers probably have their own ideas in their hearts. The boss I also know that there are dried fish in our village, will you ask others to charge it at a low price?"
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "I'm really not afraid of that."
"ah?"
"Not everyone can afford to stock up on large quantities of dried fish! What's the use of a small amount of trouble? Do you think I have recycled goods that are less than a few thousand catties? My family is now piled up with your hands. The ones that haven’t been weighed in the village add up to six or seven thousand catties, who in the village would dare?”
"They don't have the conditions. Stacking is a big problem, not to mention the problem of selling. I have a store in the city. Even if I don't sell in large quantities, I have no problem selling it slowly, and I can bear it."
Ah Guang thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense.
"That's right, not everyone can afford that much money in advance, two or three thousand yuan is a lot, and those who really can afford it don't have the courage to do it."
