Chapter 514: Picking and Choosing
After the women left, either embarrassed and dejected, or unconcerned and swaggering, or blushing and embarrassed, or with high-level smiles, those men also had unnatural expressions, and some embarrassedly told Ye Fu and the others they would come back later.
After watching a large group of people leave one after another, Ye Ersao also started cursing.
"What is this? Each one is like a broken family, coming to the door as soon as they smell the fishy smell, and even snatching openly. They say it nicely, helping... helping my ass! Do I need them to help? Don't I have hands myself?"
Ye Yaohua looked at the people who hadn't gone far at the door, and hurriedly pulled her arm, "Speak lower, they haven't gone far..."
"So what if they haven't gone far? Thinking they are relatives, some are elders, in the same village, seeing each other every day, it's not easy to point at their noses and scold, can't I point at their backs and scold? It's not that I'm guilty, I'm at a disadvantage, can't I talk? Can't I scold behind their backs without scolding to their faces?"
Ye Dasao also angrily said, "Each one is like a bandit entering a village, as soon as they come, their eyes look everywhere, aiming everywhere, wishing to hold everything in their arms. The way they eat is too ugly, too shameless."
Ye Ersao put her hands on her hips, not relieved, and stood at the door and continued, "There were a few who took clothes just now, they ran fast, otherwise I would have to hold back from going up and stripping their clothes, snatching them back, not wanting any face at all."
"What kind of people who can't reach with eight poles have come to the door... look, this tore two pieces, this one is worth several yuan..."
Ye Dasao took the two shirts that were torn at the top and felt heartache.
Ye Ersao also couldn't care about scolding, hurriedly ran over to take a look, and instantly felt heartache for her too, "Oh my, these thousand-knife-cut ones, too shameless, don't feel heartache for other people's things..."
The sisters-in-law sang in harmony and scolded all these people, making Ye Fu and the others have a headache from their noise.
Lin Xiuqing was also attracted by the sound of the basin just now, stood at the door and listened to them scold for a while, and also roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter, feeling fortunate in her heart, fortunately, they didn't go to her house.
However, she couldn't speak to comfort them at this moment, so let them scold to their heart's content. If it were her, she would also feel troubled.
Ye Fu saw that they wouldn't stop scolding and shouted, "Alright, anyway, it's already poured out, you two just distribute the clothes, whatever you want to keep, whatever you want to sell, just pick them out. If it's broken, sew it with a needle, or take it to Aqing and help use the sewing machine to step on it, they can all be worn the same. Distribute the other goods, a pile of work still needs to be done, what's the use of scolding again?"
As soon as the two heard that they had to distribute the clothes and things, they couldn't care about scolding.
It's just that Ye Dasao couldn't help but mutter when picking clothes, "If I had known, I would have put the things at your place, look, each one is dirty."
Ye Ersao couldn't help but pout, "Better move everything to the table, the ground is dirty."
"Moving everything next door, people will also go to see, it has nothing to do with where it's put," Ye Yaopeng squatted down to help organize, but suddenly felt his hands were a bit sticky, said, "Oh my, this one is still stained with a bit of chicken poop that wasn't swept clean..."
"Where? Oh my... these wicked ghosts..."
"I clearly sprinkled some plant ash and swept it away... when did these plague chickens run into the house again?"
Ye Yaodong saw that they started a new round of scolding, so he pulled Lin Xiuqing towards his own house.
The old lady saw it from the side, and also followed with a cane, anyway, there was nothing for her here, she had to go back to help Dongzi and his wife organize things.
It's really true, after having a cane, she walked faster and steadier. She went for a stroll in the village in the morning, and those old ladies all envied her for having a good grandson.
"We have a pile of work at home, don't worry about them. Go back and organize the things. If there's anything you want from the eldest brother and second brother's side, we'll come over and exchange with them later. That box of leather shoes of theirs is quite good, you can exchange for a pair to wear yourself. It's estimated that they will finish organizing the goods later."
"Don't exchange for the old lady, old people don't go anywhere, wearing cloth shoes is comfortable..."
The old lady walked behind and hurriedly agreed, "Right, right, right, wearing cloth shoes is comfortable for me, don't leave anything for me, having a cane is enough, ask your mother if she wants the silk scarf later..."
"I don't need to worry about my mother, and I don't need to worry about it, my father already bought her one, it's also red with flowers."
The old lady glanced at him reproachfully, "Can what you bought be the same as what your father bought? Can a son be the same as a husband? You only buy for me and your wife, and your mother doesn't need it? Forgot your mother after having a wife?"
"Uh..." Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, feeling that it seemed to make some sense?
However, he was a rough man, how could he think so thoughtfully, just thinking that anyway his mother had his father to give it to her.
"Oh, it's not much difference, and it's not just me, my eldest brother and second brother didn't buy it either. Let Aqing pick two pieces from the clothes inside and send them to her later, it's the same, and there's no difference, anyway, she took a watch last night."
After he finished speaking, he immediately added, "Organize the things later, if you want anything, keep a bit more, if there's nothing else you want, then clear what should be cleared, so as not to occupy space there. I estimate that when mother gets off work in the evening, she will bring a pile of people to the door to buy things."
"Alright, how do you know mother will bring people to the door to buy things? She shouldn't have said it when she left yesterday, right?"
"I guessed it."
Lin Xiuqing thought for a while, smiled, and also felt that his guess would be right nine times out of ten.
When his mother went back last night, she was still happily wearing a watch. The women in the Women's Federation all had wages, and their family conditions were considered good.
"Then let's hurry back and organize, keep what should be kept..."
"Oh, you are outside... just thinking of going to your house, heard you brought back a lot of clothes, leather shoes, fabric, etc. last night, can we go to your house to see..."
Unexpectedly, the relatives didn't go to their house, but the neighboring neighbors planned to go to their house.
Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "Later, our goods haven't been organized yet, wait until they are organized, and then call you to come over to see if there's anything you want to sell."
"Is that so, then your eldest brother and second brother's house..."
"They are also busy, haven't been organized yet, talk about it after organizing."
"Oh, that's it, then alright, then talk about it after lunch..."
Sometimes neighbors might be more sensible than relatives, knowing what is polite, but this must be a good neighbor. If you encounter a top-tier one, you will be even more angry, and there will be friction every day.
Just when the two finished talking to the neighbors and planned to enter the courtyard, they saw three or four relatives coming together not far away, and someone was shouting in the back, telling the people in front to wait.
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing looked at each other. Only one night had passed, and the news had already blown through the whole village, and people were coming to the door one after another.
He touched his chin, "Have I already become a celebrity in our village?"
"Almost! In this day and age, don't talk about going out of the province, ordinary people haven't been to the county town a few times in their lives, and you still ran to someone else's territory to salvage, and then brought back a pile of things in glory."
"It is estimated that everyone knows how much you earned? The cousins we hired will definitely tell their families when they come back. One passes to ten, ten passes to a hundred, one night passed, it's normal for the whole village to know. Originally our village wasn't big, you came back and it was eye-catching enough, it's possible it was passed on very exaggeratedly."
Ye Yaodong was a bit happy, a bit proud, and felt that it was annoying to have people coming to the door constantly. He didn't have so much time to deal with it, he still had his father on top, he was just a junior, anyway his father was also here at this time.
"Go, let's go into the house, close the door and let the dogs out. Anyway, my father is next door, after the farce just now, he is estimated to be able to send these people away in a while."
As he expected, these people were politely sent away by Ye Fu not long after they arrived, and unexpectedly they ran to his doorstep, but were scared away by the big and small dogs he raised, and didn't dare to come in.
Ye Yaodong couldn't ignore it, and couldn't pretend not to see it, so he walked out and greeted everyone, and also said the same thing, wait for them to organize the things first, before sending people away.
As soon as he entered the house, he said helplessly, "The village is still too small, as soon as there is any movement, everyone runs to the door to see."
Lin Xiuqing said as a matter of course, "Isn't it all like this? Whose house has a TV, radio, tape recorder, etc., which day doesn't have a few people sitting at the doorstep?"
The old lady added, "This is also human touch, you went out to earn money from far away, and came back, so the relatives have to come to the door to see and say a few words to express concern."
"Hmm, I'm just saying a few words casually, complaining."
In the mid-morning, the three of them were picking and choosing there, during which time various noisy sounds came from next door from time to time, but it was only for a while, and disappeared after a while.
Ye Yaodong only thought at this time that there were really quite a few relatives in his own family. He didn't feel there were many before, but now they all popped out, and he didn't know if there would be more and more in the future.
However, he didn't care, he was always busy there, constantly telling Aqing that this piece was beautiful, that piece was beautiful, but she didn't know if she didn't like it or felt heartache, and only kept two pieces for herself, but she kept three pieces of different colors and styles for his mother.
Anyway, they didn't cost money, so he simply picked a few more that he thought were beautiful and threw them into the pile she picked out.
"Keep more, don't be reluctant to part with this, heartache for that."
"No, mainly I don't wear them, staying at home all day washing clothes, cooking, and bringing children... circling around the stove..."
"Go to work next year, keep them in advance."
"This will fade if kept, will become old..."
"Then take them out and wear them, dress up like a fairy every day and wear clothes to circle around the stove and cook, isn't the food cooked better?"
Lin Xiuqing looked at him unable to laugh or cry, "Where did the crooked reason come from?"
"How is it a crooked reason, what I said is the truth."
Lin Xiuqing was coaxed by him to be overjoyed, so she followed the trend and kept the three pieces he picked, anyway, the family conditions were getting better now.
After picking the goods, Ye Yaodong took two electronic watches to next door and exchanged them for a pair of small black leather shoes for her, making her mouth unable to close from joy.
Which woman doesn't like beautiful clothes?
Saying she doesn't like it is just because of economic conditions. ===== CHAPTER 515 =====
