Sister-in-law Ye said with a smile: "It's not that easy to dig these shellfish on the island. No one has stepped on those rocks for an unknown period of time. They are so slippery that we almost fell off several times."
Sister-in-law Ye also quickly agreed, "Just look at our hands. We even have several cuts on our hands even when we are wearing gloves."
"And don't look at how much we dug out. We brought it back in carts one by one. In fact, the meat we dug out is not much, and it will be even less when it is dried."
"I'm exhausted. I've been standing there all day long and busy with work. I can't sleep well. The money isn't that easy to make. I don't know how much it can be sold for. We just posted a little bit, and that's it.
Just a taste of it, they haven’t been sold yet.”
"Yes, I have been busy for several days, but I still haven't seen the money. The total dried food is only a small amount, so I had the nerve to ask Ah Qing to weigh it and give me the money..."
The two sisters-in-law told me all the disadvantages in one word, just because they didn't want anyone to dilute their interests.
In fact, what they said was not wrong. The dried mussels that were weighed yesterday were only recorded in kilograms. Because the quantity was not large, they did not pay directly. They also said that they would calculate the money together after all of them were dried.
.
However, if someone is interested in this cake and has never tried it, how can they give up so easily?
The neighbor women continued: "That's okay. It's better than making a few cents by weaving nets at home."
"Yes, I see you have a lot of oysters drying there. I can see you opening two or three pots of oysters every day."
"I heard that my dad picked them up and sold them in the town every day, right? This should fetch a lot of money."
Everyone present nodded along. The oysters sold well in the town.
"You need to be able to sell a little bit, otherwise if you work for several days without any income, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "When A Dong comes back, you can ask him. He rides a bicycle very fast, so he should be back soon."
"Yeah, A Dong has bought a bicycle, why haven't you bought one?"
Second Sister-in-law Ye pursed her lips, "How can I have the spare money? It's not like my feet can't walk? Why didn't your family buy any?"
"We just built a house, where did the money come from?"
"Yes, you have just built a house, and we have just built a house and bought a shop. Where did the money come from? You have no money, and we have no money." Sister-in-law Ye was so frightened that she said whatever she wanted and didn't care what others heard.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
"Hey? Adong sells dried fish so well in the city, don't you also have a shop? You can sell it too, otherwise it will be empty..."
"We also think about it, the key is who to invite to sell it? Who is willing to go to a place that is unfamiliar to me? How can my father be willing to leave his own home and go outside when he is old?" Sister-in-law Ye sighed,
said.
Of course they have thought about selling it themselves, but they can'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 someone else's hands?
Who knows if their work will be in vain?
It would be easier to sell them all directly to Adong. No one would have to go there, and you would get the money all at once.
"brother……"
"Brothers don't have biological fathers that people can trust. It's hard to say whose pocket the money from the sale will go into. But let's not forget about the exhausting work that I do there. All the money goes into brother's pockets.
It’s hard to take it back.”
"It seems that my own father is not safe either..." Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't help but look at Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "My father can't do this. His palms and backs hurt. He comes all the way to give me this and that every day. He has been selling them in the city for a few days.
When he returned to the east, he gave him the money and brought it back."
It's hard to say whether it will cut off the flow of money. People's hearts are concerned. There is so much money passing through every day, but generally speaking, they have a lot of money in their hands. This is enough.
Otherwise, without their second elder, they would not be able to make this money. She is still willing to believe in her own father.
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 raised her head and took a look, then moved her stool to a different direction, sat with her back to the sun, and continued picking.
At this moment, they were the only women 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 pick up a few buckets of clean water to rinse it a few times, so as not to waste fresh water, and it will be very tiring to carry water all day long.
And Ye Yaodong didn't go there for long. Aguang and Pei's father went to work in the fields. Ye Huimei was the only one at home. He went over to put the money down, said it was an introduction fee and came back.
Ye Huimei didn't know what was going on, so she had to leave it alone and wait until the father and son came back to deal with it.
"A Dong is back!"
Everyone looked over, and Ye Yaodong was also confused. What happened if 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 down, sit down, you're welcome, you have to work, work..."
Lin Xiuqing was amused by what he said, "Don't be so talkative. Several sisters-in-law from the Zhou family said that they can also go to the island to dig these shells. Do you want to collect more? If so, they will also go and dry them.
Then sell it to us."
"Okay, the more the merrier, but you have to be careful. If anything happens, I won't be responsible." He didn't get off the bicycle and stood on one foot on the ground to prevent the bicycle from falling over.
"Okay, sure, we will be careful." Several neighbors and sisters-in-law were happy because they had another income.
Although the two sisters-in-law were a little unhappy, they couldn't say anything. They could only be glad that they had dug for a few more days. They had already visited the nearby islands that were easier to get to, and they could only look for a slightly farther island next.
"Go home and cook, Qing, I'm hungry!"
"Okay."
Ah Qing immediately stood up, wiped the rag with the rag on the basket, and followed him home.
When Ye Xiaoxi saw that she was gone, he stood up from the cage and screamed, and suddenly a mother sound came out of his mouth.
"Cool... cool..."
"Huh? You know how to bark?" Lin Xiuqing turned around in surprise.
Ye Yaodong was also surprised, "You finally know how to call someone? You only know how to scream every day. Did you wake up today?"
He immediately got off the bicycle, put his feet on the brakes, and walked over.
"She was anxious when she saw Ah Qing leave," the old lady said with a smile, "It's already eleven months, so it's normal for her to scream."
"cold……"
Lin Xiuqing happily took her daughter out of the standing cage, "I didn't take you home with me, so I'm anxious? Right? I have to go back to cook, so you can play here."
"It's okay, I'll hold her while you go cook and push the bicycle back." Ye Yaodong couldn't wait to take the child from her arms. The child didn't know how to call him yet.
He needs to be taught a lesson.
However, Ye Xiaoxi was not so cooperative and held on to Lin Xiuqing's clothes. He had to follow behind him first, and then he took the child back to the house after following her home.
When Ah Guang came to the door, he saw Ye Yaodong and his daughter lying on the bed, facing each other, looking stupid.
"Dad? Did you call me dad?"
"father?"
"How about dad?"
"Call, Daddy? Daddy?"
"father?"
"Hey! I'm here!" Aguang leaned against the door and said humbly.
"Grass, get out!"
"Hahaha, you keep calling your daughter daddy, don't I feel pity for you and give you a response?"
Ye Yaodong rolled over from the bed and sat up, looked sideways, and said angrily: "I am training her and teaching her. In two months, you will have to call your daughter daddy!"
"Tch~ I'm not as stupid as you!"
"What's the matter? You came to your door specially for a meal. Why do you want to have a meal?"
"There is no rice in the pot. Are you sent out to see if you can eat a few bites?"
"Do you want Yoneda?"
Aguang was stunned, what is Yoneda Gong?
"What?"
"Shit!"
"Fuck! So you eat this stuff every day, so I can't accept the money anymore." A Guang took out a handful of folded bills from his pocket and put them on the bed for him.
"Why are you bringing it back again? This is for your father."
"My dad said no, he was just passing on a message and doing a favor. He doesn't make a living by being an introducer. We are not outsiders either. We just come and go."
"How much will you charge?"
"No, my family is not bad at this. My father said he was just doing a favor. Even if it's not you, it's the same for others. It's a convenient thing. And you are collecting dried fish. Everyone in the area knows about it. Just ask a little.
, people can also come to you on their own.”
"Okay! Then I won't be polite to you and will go out of my way."
He was not good at pushing back and forth, so seeing that A Guang was sincere and that they were not outsiders, he just accepted it. Anyway, he could make up for it later.
Coming and going, from left hand to right hand, we are all one family.
"Have you ever thought that you are making more and more noise now? That Jiefang truck drove directly to the village in the morning. It looked quite beautiful, but the villagers probably had their own ideas in mind. The boss
I also know that we have dried fish in our village, will we find someone else to buy it at a low price?"
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "I'm really not afraid of this."
"ah?"
"Not everyone can afford to stock up on large quantities of dried fish! It's just a small matter, what's the use of a little bit? Do you think any of my recycling items are less than a few kilograms? What I have piled up at home is nothing like yours.
Those who have not yet been weighed in the village add up to six or seven thousand catties. Who in the village would dare?"
"No one else has the conditions. Stacking is a big problem, not to mention the issue of sales. I have a shop in the city. Even if I don't sell in large quantities, I have no problem selling slowly. I can handle it."
Aguang thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
"That's right, not everyone can afford to advance that much money. Two to three thousand yuan is a lot. Those who can really afford it don't have the courage to do it."
