Chapter 774: The Sensation of the Big Liberation Truck

~12 min read 2,251 words

After Ye Yaodong finished calling from the village committee and came back, he instructed Lin Xiuqing, "Around 12 o'clock tomorrow noon, Zhou Laoban will drive the big Liberation truck to transport the goods. Depending on the situation, remember to collect the squid and dried fish together and pack them in bags. The price is still the price discussed before."

"Also, tomorrow morning, our father will send a cart of fish goods back. He said he would come back with the car. There aren't many goods in the shop, just a few jin, so just let mother watch it casually. He will bring back the money sold during this period. Otherwise, they can't sleep well and can't eat well."

"Ah, my father is also coming back? Good, good, good."

"Come back and stay for one night before going up. When the time comes, let Uncle Zhou send him up, and incidentally, he can bring a cart of goods back. Dry a little more, otherwise there really won't be anything to sell."

"Should have let my father buy more fresh fish goods back to dry earlier, so we can earn more money."

"Earlier, our inventory was also large. For the past two months, there was no place to pile them. Last month, Azheng also dried a batch every three days to replenish inventory, which was enough to sell, so I didn't think about tossing such a big thing, saving the whole family from being busy. It's not too late to dry more now, it's just that there are more flies, which is disgusting. Otherwise, it's best to dry in winter and spring."

"If there is money to earn, who cares if there are many flies in summer? It's not like we eat it ourselves. We put fresh ones outside to dry, so it should be fine. Anyway, my brother is watching over there, and they will also drive away the flies."

Ye Yaodong thought the same. Anyway, it's not like they eat it themselves...

Ordinary people will also rinse it before steaming or cooking after buying it back. People now are not that particular. No matter what season it is dried, it's good to have something to eat.

"Hmm, anyway, you prepare everything before 12 o'clock tomorrow noon. It's best to collect everything before 10 or 11 o'clock and put them there ready, saving people from waiting if they arrive early."

"You don't need to tell me, I know. You go into the room and sleep early, you still have to go out to sea at night. It's fortunate that these few days are sunny."

Ye Yaodong looked at the baskets of squid in the empty space around, more than a dozen people busy back and forth, four or five women sitting outside with headlamps slaughtering, and seven or eight children from their family helping to clean with his mother and the old lady.

With so many quantities, I guess it will be late at night before everything is organized, right?

Tomorrow morning, another batch of fish goods will be sent back, and they will have to continue slaughtering. This job doesn't look light either. His mother and his wife will have to accompany them to work. Even if they don't work together, just supervising will have to wait until midnight when the slaughtering is finished.

"Don't be busy until too late, go back to the room and coax the children to sleep when the time comes, and let my mother share the burden with you."

"I know."

No matter what, she had to wait until the slaughtering was finished, laid out to dry, and the aftermath work was done before she could rest assured and go to sleep.

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, it was only past seven o'clock. Ye Xiaoxi was circling around the girls of the neighbors like a butterfly in the distance, watching them kicking shuttlecocks, and she was picking them up non-stop, enjoying it.

Thinking about it, he didn't carry her back to the room. It was so early, she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep. Now that she had something to play with, it saved her from making trouble and him from not being able to sleep.

Anyway, playing with these children was fine, and there was no need for adults to watch.

Ye Yaodong was lying on the bed thinking about how many goods he could catch every day from now on, and how much money the two boats could sell? Plus his eldest and second brother's, the harvest of one day could earn several hundred.

If this were two years ago, if he told his mother he could earn several hundred a day, his mother could slap him twice and tell him to wake up!

These two boats really came at the right time. He prayed silently in his heart that there would be no wind and no waves from now on, and that the fishing season could last a little longer, allowing them to catch a few more days and earn a little more.

Thinking and thinking, his eyes closed.

The man is outside, the woman is inside. The noise outside the house couldn't affect him at all. He fell asleep with peace of mind.

This whole day, from night to evening, was too tiring, and all the work done was physical labor.

He slept dreamlessly until midnight. When he got up at night to prepare to go out to sea, there was no shadow of people working outside the house. Except for the squid drying in the courtyard, everything else was piled up neatly. He didn't know what time they finished working.

When he got up earlier, he saw Aqing sleeping very soundly. In the past, when he woke up, she would wake up immediately. I guess she also slept very late these few nights of busy work.

This is also good. With the small workshop set up, Aqing has something to be busy with, and she won't be thinking about the work of the village committee, and she doesn't have to stare at the one-third of an acre of land at home. She can also have her own career to be busy with.

Huimei can also work at the village committee with peace of mind. Both are satisfied.

Although she said that when Aqing could let go of the family affairs, she could go to work, and then she would give the job to her. But if she really worked for a few years and suddenly let it go, she would definitely feel uncomfortable, and there would be a gap between the two. It's best like this now.

The thriving life gave him more goals to strive for.

Ye Yaodong pushed the flatbed cart with high spirits. When passing by the small workshop, he saw the recliner was empty, and his brother-in-law was turning around the workshop. A few small dogs that were originally at his feet suddenly rushed toward him again.

"Go away, go work." Ye Yaodong kicked the dog that was clawing at his leg again lightly. It was too annoying, always liking to claw at his leg, really.

After speaking, he greeted his brother-in-law again and instructed him to remember to lie down and rest for a while.

"At this time, some people in the village are preparing to go out to sea, so I got up to take a look. This fishing net is not strong, it breaks with a cut. People passing by pull it a few times with force, and they might pull the bamboo poles down."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work. There are people coming and going during the day, it's fine, not afraid of petty theft. You sleep a little more during the day."

"It's okay, it's okay, we often sleep on the mountain and sleep on the ground."

"Then fine, then I'll go out to sea first."

"Hey, you go busy, you go busy."

The starry sky at night was dotted with stars, clear and blue. The next day was another sunny day with strong sunshine.

Ye Yaodong was busy at sea for a day. When he returned home, what awaited him was still a scene of busy work with great enthusiasm.

The cart of fresh round scad brought back by Lin Fu during the day was still being slaughtered and dried. The quantity was too large and the fish were small, so slaughtering was also quite laborious. Everyone was orderly and doing their own duties.

When he returned, he only greeted them. There was too much work on hand, and it wasn't the time to chat in detail with his father-in-law. He only asked Aqing if the squid sold smoothly today? And then he planned to weigh the goods first.

Who knew that before Aqing could speak, his mother started scolding first.

"Don't mention it. Selling goods is quite smooth, but the gossiping women in the village are too inhuman. Seeing the big Liberation truck come, they all ran to our house and told people that they also had squid, and they could also dry a lot of squid dried fish, and could sell them to the boss more cheaply."

"Aiyo, it's too disgusting, they actually ran to our house to dig the wall. This almost made me angry to death. Hurry up and drive them away, lock the courtyard door, it's too disgusting."

"These people see us drying squid dried fish and earning money, and seeing the big Liberation truck come again, they are all jealous to death. It's fortunate that Zhou Laoban didn't come. Today, only the driver of the big Liberation truck came to help collect the goods."

"Dongzi, we can't let the big Liberation truck come directly from now on. We will send it to the city ourselves, and let the big Liberation truck collect the goods at the shop in the city, so as to avoid everyone grabbing our business..."

Lin Xiuqing also nodded in agreement. "Yes, when the big Liberation truck entered the village, a large group of people followed to our house. When the driver got off the car, the fellow villagers all surrounded him, chattering and saying they also had squid and could also dry squid dried fish."

"Fortunately, everyone helped to push people out and lock the courtyard door, but those people didn't leave either. They all waited at our courtyard entrance. When moving goods onto the car later, they surrounded us again."

"That master's collar was torn off, and his hat was also torn away. Later, he said he couldn't make the decision himself and had to go back to ask the boss, and that he would come again in a few days, only then did that group of women let go."

"It was really like fighting in the morning. The master was almost unable to leave. If I had known, I should have sent it to the city, which would have saved the fellow villagers from surrounding us."

Ye Mu said again: "You don't know how scary those people are. They pulled people tightly and wouldn't let them leave, and kept saying they would be cheaper than our house. It made me want to go up and tear their mouths."

"Yes, Dongzi, next time don't let the big Liberation truck come to our village to collect goods. What if someone else's is cheaper than ours, and the boss collects someone else's and doesn't collect ours?" The old lady also looked worried.

The last time the big Liberation truck entered the village, everyone saw it. This morning, as soon as the big Liberation truck came, the fellow villagers knew it was going to their house, and it must be to collect squid dried fish. They all followed behind, thinking of promoting themselves.

Although I don't know how much money Ye Yaodong can sell, it definitely won't be a loss, otherwise he wouldn't dry so much.

Ye Yaodong was also confused after listening to them. He didn't expect it to be so sensational.

"I also thought about sending it directly to the shop in the city, so that when the tractor comes back, it can bring a cart of fish goods back, but I mentioned it a few days ago when I called, and people arranged it in advance. Today, it just happened to be delivering goods, so it came to collect them on the way."

He didn't object at the time, also thinking that the payment for goods was several hundred to a thousand yuan, and if it was kept in his father-in-law's hands, it would be too much money. Originally, the daily business turnover was not small, and having too much money on him when going out was not a good thing.

In a strange place, don't attract any accidents. These years are not that peaceful, so thinking about it, he didn't object.

"Then let the big Liberation truck not come in a few days? We will send it directly to the shop in the city and let them collect the goods at the shop?" Lin Xiuqing frowned and said.

"I'll go call and ask in a moment. Tomorrow there should be 500 jin that can be dried, right? From now on, as long as the weather is good, there should be some every day, right? I'll call and discuss how to collect the goods?"

"Right, right, you ask and see. Anyway, you can't let the big Liberation truck come to the village again." ===== CHAPTER 775 =====
