Ye Yaodong and the others clutched the tractor's handrail and rattled all the way. This time, instead of swaying around as usual, they were tightly stuck by the dried fish.
Because the stack is relatively high and the mountain road is not easy to drive, the car will drive slower today. When we arrive in the city, before the unloading of the goods is completed, the sky will turn white and light up.
The transition from dark to dawn was at the moment when the sun was about to jump out of the horizon.
Both Ah Zheng and Ah Guang came back for the first time, and they were full of excitement. The first time they jumped out of the car, they ran directly to the market.
After all, the sky is already bright, and the people who rushed to the morning market have basically finished their purchases and left, and those who are still in circulation, basically don’t rush early.
Ye Yaodong scolded while unloading the goods: "These two are too unreliable. I brought them here because I expected them to help carry them back and forth, but the car didn't even stop, and the people ran away, shit. Why don't you come back and help me carry it? Move your ass, when they come out of the market, the sun will be drying their buttocks."
"Hehe, maybe it's because I'm anxious, it's already dawn." Uncle Zhou helped unload the bags on the tractor first.
"It's really unreliable, I can't count on any of them."
"There aren't many here, so we can move a few times casually, and it's fast for two people."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhou, I'll let you help with everything."
"To be polite, I still hope that after the tractor is bought from the village, you will take care of my business so that I can earn more."
Huh!
"By the way, didn't you say the day before yesterday that the village wanted to sell the tractor? Did you buy it?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Uncle Zhou was very happy, "I bought it yesterday, but it was still a thousand yuan short. Secretary Chen said that we can owe it first and pay it at the end of the year."
Although I owe money, it is worth celebrating to have a big guy in the family.
When he drove the tractor to park in front of his house during the day, Uncle Zhou even rinsed it carefully, polished it, and bought a bunch of firecrackers specially to set it off.
"That's okay. It's only a thousand yuan. You can earn whatever you want this year. When you are free, you can go to the roadside to pick up passengers back and forth, and you can pay back at the end of the year. It's also okay, no one in the village competes with you."
Saying this, he really felt guilty.
"Who can compete with me here? Few people in the village can drive tractors, and I have always been the tractor driver of the production team in the village. No one else can compete with me."
"Yes, yes, this is your personal property, and you can earn more money. I didn't know that you bought it so soon. I just heard about it the day before yesterday. I got it today. I will buy another one for you when I go back." Hang up firecrackers and send them over."
He had already said two days in advance that he wanted to use the car today, so he didn't go to the village committee to apply for it yesterday. He really didn't know that Uncle Zhou had already bought it.
"No, no, we have already bought firecrackers and set them off. As long as you take care of my business, it will be enough for me to earn."
"No problem. You are the only one with a tractor in the whole village. If not, who do you invite? I'm not like Ah Cai and the others, who have partners."
In the entire village, only Ye Yaodong used a tractor every three days. He could earn a lot just by working for him for a month. Uncle Zhou was already very satisfied.
The two chatted while moving, and after moving and piling up, it was already daylight, and he was sweating all over, so he simply took off the thin cotton jacket and only wore the sweater inside, with the cotton jacket hanging on his hand, he went to the shop to help .
Looking at the sun hanging high in the sky and seeing fewer people coming and going in the shop, he went to the nearby village to find the village head to rent a house.
They had already asked in advance, and the only difference was the rental price. One was not asking for a high price, and the other was not short of money.
It happened that it was convenient for Uncle Zhou’s tractor to be parked at the door, so he asked Uncle Zhou to help him lift up the bed and all the things in one trip, leaving only Mother Lin to settle in the rented house. .
The two oil bottles were not expected, so he took care of it himself.
By the way, I took 20 catties of dried fish and gave it to the village head, asking him to take care of it. In a village, there is a village head to take care of it, and it is basically safe.
Ye Yaodong stood at the door of the shop, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and shook the sweater on his chest again to cool off. From the moment he got off the car to the day when the sun was high, he never stopped to rest.
"I am so diligent! I deserve to be rich!"
Lin's father brought out a bowl of porridge and handed it to him with a smile, "Yes, it is reasonable to say that hard work makes you rich. I have been busy all morning, and I don't have time to eat, so hurry up and eat something to pad my stomach. It's nearly nine o'clock."
"Those two guys don't know how to come out after they go in. They are not as slow as them in giving birth. I have finished my work. Fortunately, I didn't wait for them to unload the goods, otherwise the day lily would be cold."
Those two people are really slow.
After entering the market, as if his eyes were not enough to see, he kept going back and forth, wandering around, lingering, browsing the stalls one by one, and shopped around. Finally, Ah Zheng got so ruthless that he bought 2,000 catties of toad fish.
After all, their family is used to drying this fish, and they know how many catties can be sun-dried.
He calculated it with his wife when he came here. Although it is a little more expensive than the purchase price at the wharf, it can also make money by posting it. This fish is currently the most in the market.
However, when they came out, Uncle Zhou also went to pick up other jobs. He couldn't find them, and couldn't take them home immediately. They both stood at the door dumbfounded.
"He drives a tractor to pick up private jobs?"
Ye Yaodong explained: "Uncle Zhou bought the tractor yesterday, and now the tractor belongs to him personally, not to the brigade. He can pick up jobs as he pleases."
"Huh? When did it happen? Why don't we know?" Ah Zheng was surprised.
"Why should I tell you? The production team has been disbanded a long time ago, and the village has been reluctant to distribute the tractors. Now that Mazu's side is almost finished, I feel that the tractors are useless there. It's better to let them out."
"Okay, then carry these goods to the door of your store and wait, and cover them with some rags by the way, so as not to be damaged by the sun, the difference between the inside of the market and the outside is at least 5 degrees."
"Isn't it? It's cold inside the market, and it feels hot when you come out."
"What you are talking about is nonsense. The fresh fish in the market are packed with ice cubes. Will the temperature be low?"
Master Ye Yaodong helped them carry them back and forth a few times regardless of their villainy.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhou has a good sense of time. He came back just after lunch time, and they moved all the goods onto the tractor again.
It was only after three o'clock when he got home, which was earlier than Ye Yaodong used to get home.
Ah Zheng is also relieved. When he gets home at this time, he has a lot of family members, and he can kill these fish before going to bed, so as not to let them stay overnight.
After Ye Yaodong got home, he took a sip of water and heard Lin Xiuqing excitedly talking about the follow-up this morning.
"It was just a little light in the morning. When the second sister-in-law went out to empty the spittoon, she screamed in fright. The spittoon fell to the ground, and she didn't care about cleaning up the excrement and urine. She hurriedly called all the nearby houses."
"After I heard the movement, I immediately got up and explained to everyone. I said it was a thief, and everyone was relieved. They looked at it from a distance and thought that someone had hanged from a tree."
Ye Yaodong laughed out loud. When he hung him up last night, he thought that people who got up early this morning would probably be shocked.
Unexpectedly, it was his second sister-in-law who won the lottery!
"A few of the men stepped forward to put him down, and hurried to the village committee to call for someone, and then the whole village came, and I told you what you told me last night, the neighbors next door are very angry."
"If it wasn't for watching him hang up all night, he already exhales more air and inhales less, I guess everyone can rush up and give him another beating."
"And then?" Ye Yaodong happily sat on the armchair with his legs crossed, half resting and half listening to stories.
"Then there were people in the village who were related to their village and took the initiative to go to their village to talk. Not long after, many old people from the two villages surrounded us on the **** behind our back door. Get it done."
"Especially the brothers from Zhou's family and Lan's family next door, who pointed at Ah Qiu's family members and scolded them. They also said that if they saw their family members enter our village in the future, they would beat them once."
Ye Yaodong was satisfied, and it seemed that they had a strong sense of crisis.
"What about the back?"
"The father and mother of Ah Qiu in the back cried and begged the village committee to let them take him to treatment first, so as not to really die, the village head let them go and let them take him away, and said He is not allowed to enter our village again in the future."
"Oh, that's it? It's okay, the lesson from last night is enough, anyway, it is to beat the folks, and the goal has been achieved."
Lin Xiuqing nodded, "People seem to be half-dead, so we can't do anything else. Anyway, the whole village has seen it, and they all know the fate of stealing from our house, so that's fine."
"Um."
After listening to the follow-up story, Ye Yaodong began to take off his clothes, and took out the cloth bag and handed it to her, "Thank you, it's a good story."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him reproachfully, then took the cloth bag, "Put on your clothes quickly, is the house rented?"
"Well, living in the village, they should be able to sleep more peacefully at night. I also asked the village chief to help take care of them every day. Anyway, they are renting their house."
"That's good, their house can also be taken care of."
"It would be even better if I could buy it."
"Why did you buy it? It's an old house, right?"
"It's quite old, but it can still be used by people. It's not much different from our hometown, so it's okay. I want to buy it. We can dismantle and re-build a better one, so that we can go to and from the city in the future. Having a place to stay is equivalent to having a home in the city.”
Lin Xiuqing frowned and thought about it, and thought it was feasible, but felt that he was walking a bit too fast, and the big projects at home hadn't been completed yet, and he was thinking about the city?
I'm really busy, and I only sleep for four or five hours a day recently. Alas, I didn't intend to delay the update. I can update it. I also try to hurry up and update it.
I'm really busy, but I haven't asked for leave this month. I'd rather endure it, and try to make more and make up as much as I can.
