Chapter 12 Going to the City to Trade [Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation]
"Sister, sister, hurry up and cook, I'm hungry. Yang Dongxu's little grandfather hurriedly grabbed his second sister.
He knows what kind of temper his second sister has, among the four brothers and sisters, the second sister has the most stubborn temperament and the most fiery temper, if she finds the weapon in her hand, she may really pick up on her son.
"Second aunt, hurry up and cook, if you're hungry, let's just lay on the floor at night." Dad Yang was also persuaded by the side.
Uncle Yang Dongxu's words naturally sounded the voice-over, but obviously he couldn't quarrel in other people's homes, not to mention that his second aunt was really good to his family.
"Just sleep in his room, and it's turned upside down. The second aunt was out of breath.
The eldest uncle lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more, and the aunt carried her daughter back to the room, and the room was infinitely embarrassed.
ate an unpleasant dinner, and said nothing all night, the next day the little grandfather and Yang Dad got up early in the morning, took Yang Dongxu, who was still squinting and crawling on the back of the little grandfather, and went to the supply and marketing cooperatives under the leadership of the second aunt.
took out the letter of introduction, and the little grandfather talked to the head of the supply and marketing cooperative. At ten o'clock, the three of them walked home after refusing the second aunt's invitation.
"Won't this happen?" Thinking about the conversation with the head of the supply and marketing cooperative, Dad Yang couldn't calm down.
"People who are officials are not afraid, you are afraid of hair? You are a commissioner above, the number one in the district, can you be a little more daring than a mouse?" The little grandfather hated that iron could not be made of steel, and his thumb pinched the fingertips of the little thumb and gestured.
When I walked back to Yangjia Village, it was almost dark, and the little grandfather didn't stay for dinner, but left the things that the second aunt asked me to bring back and said a few words, and went back to Ranyoufang directly.
slept at home, and the next day Dad Yang went to his grandfather's house alone, and only came back at night, and the little grandfather also came back. As soon as they came back, the two of them went to the grandfather's house.
The next day, Yangjia Village fished again, but this time in addition to the fish, many male laborers in the village had laid down the yellow eel cages made of bamboo the night before.
More than 1,000 catties of fish were put in the water tank and put on the ox cart, and 300 catties of yellow eels and loaches were also wet. The eldest grandfather plus Yang's father, as well as the eldest son of the eldest grandfather, plus the little grandfather, four people and four ox carts, set off quietly at eleven o'clock at night, and arrived at the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city at seven or eight o'clock the next morning.
Entering from the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Yang Rukun, the son of Yang Dad and Grandfather, who had been on the road all night, took the bags prepared in advance and began to fish from the water tank.
"Hello Director Li, you smoke, 1,000 pounds of fish, 300 pounds of yellow eel and loach, and the death is counted as my overweight for a while. Not long after the ox cart entered the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a pen pinned to his chest walked out.
The man is in his forties, and he walks with a slightly big belly in this era, and he walks and sways. Seeing his little grandfather greet him with a smile, he ruthlessly spent 5 cents to buy the cigarette roll of the Great Unity and handed it over. You must know that Yang Dongxu's sister Hongying's tuition fee for school is now only 5 cents.
"It's not so particular, these fish look fresh and fine. Lighting a cigarette, Li Weijun glanced at the fish that had just been fished out of the water tank, although they were a little floaty, they had just died not long ago.
"Director Li is generous. The little grandfather gave Li Weijun a thumbs up, and quietly stuffed another pack of unopened cigarettes, and Li Weijun accepted it quietly.
The little grandfather kicked a small bag next to the ox cart with his foot, leaned into Director Li's ear and whispered: "When I caught fish, I met two big kings, and the youngest one also had four or five catties, Director Li took it back to try it later." ”
"Hahaha...... Polite, polite. Li Weijun's eyes lit up suddenly, although Wang Ba is not very unusual, he can see it occasionally, but he can't eat it often, this thing is a big supplement. In this way, the smile on Li Weijun's face was a little thicker.
After that, Yang Dad and a few people picked up some dead fish, and they didn't die much, and everything in this era is durable. The fish weighed 923 catties, and the yellow eel and loach each lost about seven or eight catties.
The dead things were not taken away in bags, but were distributed to a few oversized supply and marketing cooperatives. In everyone's happiness, the little grandfather took the ticket issued by Director Li, went to the back warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative, picked up two carts of things, and the group drove the ox cart out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"It's not shameful enough to not know how to talk less in the future. Every time he went out, his grandfather glared at his eldest son, if it weren't for Yang Dongxu's little grandfather to stop him, it would be light.
Just now I watched Yang Dongxu's little grandfather give away those dead fish or something directly, Yang Rukun wanted to open his mouth to stop it, those fish didn't die for a long time and were as fresh as live fish, and it was no problem to take them home and eat them, so he felt a little painful when he saw that he gave them away directly.
Fortunately, he knew his eldest son and grandfather very well, and seeing that he wanted to speak, the grandfather who knew his temperament interrupted in advance and glared at his son, so that he didn't say anything.
"Those things ......," Yang Rukun wanted to argue.
As a result, he was slapped by his grandfather, and at this time, Yang Dongxu's little grandfather did not stop him. Dad Yang hurriedly pulled Yang Rukun away from his grandfather, otherwise it would be really embarrassing to fight on the street.
"You know a fart, how much are those dead fish and rotten shrimp worth? Not to mention that it's not shameful enough for you to bring them home, what about those oversized people's hands, and people don't have more fingers than those dead fish and rotten shrimp?"
Yang Rukun lowered his head and stopped talking, although his temperament is more sincere, but he is not a fool after all. Just now I saw that I had worked so hard to bring something to give away people like this, and I understood the truth after what my grandfather said.
Although rural people are simple, they also have their own cunning. People are sophisticated and understand better than anyone else, and understand the truth of equal interests, otherwise how could they spend more than a dollar to buy cigarettes and give them to Director Li and the two kings?
Even if you have a letter of introduction from a specialist, you can't have eyes on your head. If you should bow your head, you still have to bow your head, otherwise people will make you unable to eat and walk around, and the king of Hades will see that the little ghost is difficult to understand?
"In the future, you will look at this child, and you will pump hard if you are disobedient. The grandfather, who was pulled by the little grandfather, gasped and said.
He really didn't understand how such an atmospheric person as he could give birth to this stingy son.
"Still young, still young, isn't Xiao Yang also a stunned young man?" Yang Dongxu's little grandfather persuaded with a smile.
Although he is not a few years older than Yang Rukun and is not married, he understands the world very well. In addition, the seniority is placed here, and when he says a word, grandpa should also listen to it, Yang Rukun has no qualifications to refute it at all, and Dad Yang can only listen.
Compared with the cloth changed in the town, this time in the district can be said to be a bumper harvest, not to mention the rare canned fruit in the countryside, I have only heard that there are several packs of milk powder that I have never seen.
Yesterday we had to catch some fish and yellow eel loaches, and some of the money, and then the cattle were brought home to graze, and the village fell into silence again.
"More than a hundred yuan is so much?" Mama Yang in the kitchen looked so surprised that she forgot the lard in the pot.
Lard is a rarity in the countryside, no one is willing to kill pigs these years, and when buying pork, they also pick up fat and fat to buy, and when they go home, they can get oil stars for several days when they go home.
After refining the lard, the remaining oil is also fragrant, don't want it, chop it up and wrap the dumplings, or eat it directly in the steamed bun.
"Fish cost five cents a pound, yellow eel and loach are all 1 cent, if you don't change something, it will be more. The two pieces of lard I proposed to be replaced, and I didn't dare to let anyone else see them in the bag below. Dad Yang said very proudly.
Two hangs of lard are hung in their own house and one in the grandfather's house, which is the most proud place of Yang's father in this transaction.
"Yes, yes, yes, as far as you can. How does it feel to go this time, can it last a long time?" Mother Yang glanced at her husband, but her face was full of happy smiles.
"Grandpa and Daddy mean to send it every other day, otherwise people and animals can't stand it, and that Director Li also means this, as for whether it will last long, I dare not say. But even if it doesn't last long, we'll all earn it if we change it once. ”
"That's right, it's a pity that there are no food stamps, if only there were food stamps to get some food back. Our food is a bit insufficient. Mother Yang said with some pity.
"I didn't see the grain, but I saw the flour in the warehouse over there, and I'll see if I can get a bag back next time I go to change it." ”
"You discuss it with your uncle, don't be reckless. Mother Yang reminded.
"I know. Dad Yang waved his hand impatiently, although this time Grandpa Yang Dongxu seemed to be more likely to come to trouble than Grandpa. But there are people who have children, and Dad Yang obviously doesn't want to be preached. Especially when I made a lot of money this time and was proud.
The news that Yangjia Village had begun to go to the town to exchange things quickly spread, and after a few days of waiting, many people in the village began to pull things to the town.
The things that are slowly being exchanged are not just cloth, sugar, and other things that are rare in the countryside. One or two piglets, a dozen chicks and ducklings, or calves like a luxury, people from nearby villages began to use the town as a hub to slowly communicate with each other.
In the process of exchange, all kinds of bills are rarely used, because there are not many such things in the hands of farmers, so paper money is used more and more often.
Yang Dongxu, who drank a bowl of porridge, an egg and a bun, and a cup of milk powder one morning, took his sister and started to walk to Mr. Zhou's house.
Since the villagers began to trade in the town spontaneously, Yang Dongxu's living standard has risen sharply, especially after the trading channels in the district are in the hands of their family and grandfather's family, and his status in Yangjia Village has also risen sharply.
There were no problems in a few transactions, and after knowing the relationship between Mr. Zhou and the district commissioner, Yang's mother sent some things to Mr. Zhou, and the grandfather's family often helped him. Every time I went to the city, I also helped Mr. Zhou bring back some of the newspapers and things that Mr. Zhou needed.
It can't be said that rural people are all snobs, and when they saw someone above Mr. Zhou, they began to stutter. It is the nature of human beings to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and in which chaotic era can take out a little food that they can save and frugal so that Mr. Zhou does not starve to death, it has already shown that the people of Yangjia Village are simple.
