Ye Yaodong was full and had nothing to do, so he went to take a nap.
In the middle of winter, only the quilt is the most comfortable.
He didn't wake up until around four o'clock in the afternoon. He was woken up by Ah Qing.
"Sister-in-law Zhou next door had left a lot of fish at her house the day before. She just came to me and told me to dry it. She said she wanted to weigh the dried part first."
"Ah? Why are you so anxious?" Ye Yaodong sat up sleepily, "I'll just collect them one by one tomorrow."
"Maybe it's because the quantity is too large, and I feel unsure and unsure. I want to sell what I can sell to us first."
She basically knows the little thoughts of these women, and they all want to sell them as soon as possible and get the money as soon as possible.
Usually when we have nothing to do, we all like to go to the two sisters-in-law’s houses next door to have a chat. She has dogs at home, so it is inconvenient for her to visit.
Otherwise, she would have to sit at her house every day, chatting and listening to the radio. There would be too few entertainment activities in the countryside.
She occasionally went over to chat when she had nothing to do, but apart from chatting and gossiping, all she heard was insinuations about whether they would accept it after the new year? Will they accept more in the future?
Some even asked her, after paying for the shop in the city, will she move to the city? Will she sell the boat and let the whole family go to the city to enjoy the happiness?
Each of these questions almost made her laugh to death. Fortunately, their house was fenced off and the dog was there.
Otherwise, according to their recent pattern of vigorously harvesting dried fish and stealing the limelight, everyone could come here every day to chat, flatter, and build good relationships.
"Get up, don't lie down, it's time to have dinner later, I slept too much during the day, I won't be able to sleep at night."
"Is there any difference between selling today and selling tomorrow? In such a hurry, really, are you afraid that I will run away?" Ye Yaodong frowned, muttered a few words, and got up to get dressed.
"Maybe we're afraid that our words won't count. After all, the number is quite large."
There wasn't a lot of it. It was just a boat owned by two brothers from the Zhou family. They had just reserved it a day in advance. Now they had already carried three sacks and were waiting in the yard.
As soon as Ye Yaodong put on his clothes and walked out, he greeted them with a smile, and then without any nonsense, he poured it out for inspection. After the inspection, he picked out some of the things that were not dry enough before weighing them.
Lin Xiuqing came out of the house after taking the money. After weighing the scale, she calculated the money directly to them on the spot, which made them worry.
Zhou Da took the money and said with a smile: "You should have wanted it before this year, right?"
"Whatever you want, as long as there is good weather and you can go out to sea, you can enjoy it before the end of the year."
"Okay, okay, then we can rest assured and sunbathe more."
"You guys put the dry stuff away in advance tomorrow afternoon. It doesn't matter if it's a little later. You have to do it a little bit."
"Okay, okay, I didn't touch it carefully just now, and some of it wasn't dry enough, so we'll send it over tomorrow evening at this time."
"Can."
Anyway, he wanted to deliver it in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, so it would be just in time to collect it all tomorrow night.
After three days of continuous fishing, everyone should be able to catch four to five thousand kilograms, but some fish are big and some are small.
The small one dries quickly. It’s hard to say how many kilograms can be harvested tomorrow, but the quantity should be enough. If it’s not enough, it’s okay to just use dried fish.
When he requested the goods before, he specifically said not to have too many trash fish, lest someone would cheat and collect all the trash fish from all his relatives and resell them to him. This would be too stupid.
Anyway, there are plenty of miscellaneous fish that they dry out in their boats. If they don’t have enough, they can just collect as many as they want.
The next day, he originally thought that everyone would be anxious, so he collected all the dried fish and sent them over early in the morning. Unexpectedly, he didn't.
This was beyond his expectation. After all, the Zhou family next door was so anxious yesterday that they couldn't even wait for today, so they hurriedly sent it away yesterday evening.
He waited for half a morning and no one came to the door, so he went out on his bicycle to take a look, and he simply asked everyone to send it over in the evening.
This way he can do more work, and he can make time to go to the shipyard and have a chat.
When they arrived at A Guang's house, A Guang heard that he was going again and quickly offered to go with him.
"You still want to follow me?"
"I'll go and have a look with you, so that you won't be deceived alone. If I go with you, we can at least have more people to discuss it with."
"Okay, there can be a braggart on the road."
This time, the two of them were riding a bicycle on the road. It was rare that they did not bicker and fight, but instead had a serious conversation.
"Dongzi, are you really planning to buy a big boat over 20 meters long?"
"Yes, otherwise why would I go there? If you want to go sightseeing and learn more, a trip is enough."
"But such a big boat can't be purchased for two to three thousand yuan. Aren't you going to have to pay the balance of the shop payment right away? Although you don't need to pay the full payment right away for that boat, the deposit alone is still several thousand! It's thousands here!
Yuan, a few thousand dollars is quite a lot!"
"I know, I've figured it out."
"Good guy, it seems that you really made a lot of money this year. The rumors in the village are true!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at him and said, "Didn't your father tell you how much money I made from catching jellyfish? I've been collecting dried fish recently, and I can make some money by selling them."
"Aren't you going to keep some? So much money, just throw it out? I thought you would take your time and wait for a while to make more money. I thought the third sister-in-law would also stop you."
A Guang really didn't expect that Lin Xiuqing could support him in investing all his wealth?
He thought that due to the dissuasion of his father-in-law and the obstruction of his wife at home, Dongzi's hope of changing to a bigger ship would be lost.
I didn't expect that I would go there again today after just one night.
"Tch~ Your third sister-in-law is very open-minded. When I told her, she supported me without saying a word. She also said that I was her god and the head of the family, so I could just make the decision. She also said that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and if you marry a dog, follow the rules.
Dog, marry her and carry her around on a pole. If I become poor in the future, she can accompany me to beg for food and make money to support me."
Aguang was riding his bicycle. He got goosebumps when he heard what he said, and even shivered. Who would believe that this horse is so disgusting?
"Stop talking about it? You are so awesome that I have goosebumps all over the floor. If you say that if you go to beg for food, she will hand you a bowl, I do believe it."
"I know you are envious, but you can't be envious. Although my sister is also very good..."
"No, no, no..." Aguang quickly interrupted his bragging, "I don't envy you at all for begging for food, just go ahead! I can lose you five cents and one cent when the time comes."
"Huh? No, you can't come to my house to beg for food. It's embarrassing. Bah, I'll blow you out with a broom then."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, what...mouse...yes, mouse, he secretly hid the fish two days ago. Did your father tell you about it later when he went back?"
"Say, what the fuck, I didn't know it at first. When I went to pick up the goods the next day, my dad asked me to check more carefully, and I found out."
As soon as he mentioned this, A Guang became angry. It had been two days and he had forgotten a little bit.
"My dad said that he is my friend, so for the sake of my face, he should expose it this first time, and then check it more carefully later."
"To tell you the truth, when I went to pick up the goods that day, I told him directly after receiving the goods that he would go to my house to settle the accounts after dinner and give him the money for the goods for the past few days, and the ship would be collected directly.
I’m back and I won’t give it to him anymore.”
"I'm kind-hearted. I want to say that after all, I'm just a friend. If I take care of him, I can make more money. Although I won't make a fortune, I can still be better off than he was before."
"I didn't expect that he would actually hide his secret, and his wife is not a thing. Since there were so many people at the dock, they were yelling there, saying that they had already said that they would be together until March next year, and they also said
I'm not trustworthy."
"Damn it, it almost made me so angry that I told the mouse directly, don't you know the fish you hid yesterday? If there is one, there will be two. Friends don't even have trust, so how can we cooperate with each other?
.”
"What time was it the day before yesterday? Oh, what a pity, I wasn't there to see it. What happened next?" Ye Yaodong became interested.
"Then? What happened to him after that? That was my boat. I took it back when I said I wanted to take it back. Originally, they ignored it. Mouse Nuonuo said nothing but his wife was really disgusting."
"They even yelled that our fish were taken back to be dried, so they must have paid half of the price of the fish after drying and selling it, not half the price of fresh fish."
"Oh my God, his wife is really good at calculating! This fish product was originally handled by me. I like to calculate how much it costs. No matter how much it is, it was originally sold and purchased for so much money, so I have to calculate it for her."
"What do you think happened to her next?"
Ye Yaodong's eyes instantly lit up with the blazing fire of gossip, "What's wrong?"
"Oh my god, she actually yelled and asked her brothers at home to go to my house to settle the accounts together. She said that she couldn't give them a penny less. She said that they caught the fish and of course they had half of the dried fish.
He said he would go to my house and take half of it directly."
"You are a little confused! You don't know how you got a wife? Do you think that because there are many brothers in the family, you can just walk away unreasonably? Do you think that the whole village belongs to their family? Who hasn't had some relatives?
We are friends and relatives, but his family can do that?"
Ye Yaodong's head is full of black lines!
I feel very similar to his mother...ah! There's no comparison. It's an insult to his mother, but his mother is reasonable and can handle things clearly.
"Then what? What happened next?"
"Then? It didn't come later. He didn't come to my house yesterday to settle the accounts. If he didn't settle the accounts, I wouldn't send it to him. The money is with me, and it's not me who is anxious."
"No matter how much I say this, they don't care, and they dare to make noises loudly! So the old saying is quite reasonable, marry a virtuous wife, otherwise a bad wife can harm your descendants for three generations!"
"It doesn't matter if I am cheated, my son and grandson will be affected, and the whole family will be ruined."
Ye Yaodong strongly agrees that marrying a good wife is the foundation for family prosperity.
"Then you haven't even come to our door to settle the money yet. I guess this matter isn't over yet and there will be more trouble."
"Oh, that's what I thought too. I'm so annoyed. If I had known better, I shouldn't have jeopardized my face. I should have said firmly that I wouldn't rent."
