In the evening, Chen Lingyan sat in the dim yellow light reading a book, Chen Dahai and Zhao Xiuzhi were busy feeding the cattle and pigs, Chen Jingshan, who saw all this in his eyes, was full of emotion in his heart.

I felt more and more that I had failed in my previous life, my family was poor, my relatives were few, and I had no status in the village, so I brewed one tragedy after another.

Compared with everything he has experienced, Chen Jingshan doesn't feel how difficult the current difficulties are.

Chen Yu went to the village to borrow a cart, and the ox was mounted in front, which could also be used as an ox cart.

The two planned to use an ox cart to pull the yellow eel to the county tomorrow, and one person set off on a motorcycle first, and then came back to the ox cart to carry it.

Although the ox cart is slow, the advantage is that it pulls more, and the distance between the motorcycles and the motorcycles will become shorter and shorter in the direction of the county.

………………

Four o'clock in the morning.

Outside the courtyard of the Chen family, there was a lot of noise, and it was the villagers who came to deliver the yellow eels.

Zhao Erniang walked at the front with a basket on her back, her man followed behind with a big bag, and there were more than 20 villagers at the back, all of whom were empty-handed.

Chen Jingshan and Chen Yu had already gotten up, and seeing that the number seemed to be a bit large, Chen Jingshan couldn't help frowning.

"Jingshan, the yellow eels in our field have been caught, so catch a little more, if you collect it in the future, we will go to the next village to catch it, anyway, this thing is not worth much in the countryside."

Zhao Erniang had already entered the courtyard after speaking, put down the back basket and took out the yellow eel, and went to get the big scale in the corner of the wall as if she was familiar with it.

The other villagers also put down the eel and waited for it to be weighed, and everyone looked tired.

Chen Jingshan just glanced at it and knew that there were fewer yellow eels, and these people were competing with each other to catch each other, after all, it was the last point, and one more pound would make an extra dime.

However, to his surprise, there were two brothers from the Su family in the crowd.

"Jingshan, our brothers don't want your money, for the sake of the villagers, I can't help you, this yellow eel should be regarded as an apology for you."

Su Zhengfeng carried half a bag of yellow eels and put them on the ground, and Su Zhengyi behind him was a little younger, he held his face and didn't speak, he threw the half bag of yellow eels in his hand on the ground and turned around and left.

"Uncle Su, you are polite, I still have to give this how much it should be, and it is not easy for you to stay up all night."

Chen Jingshan smiled and took out a cigarette to hand Su Zhengfeng a cigarette, there were many other old and young masters in the yard, and there were not enough cigarettes, so he took out half a pack of cigarettes from his eldest brother's pocket and continued to distribute them.

By the time he was done, Su Zhengfeng had already left.

After all the yellow eels were weighed, a total of more than 1,800 catties, and when converted into the first three plus money promised, Chen Jingshan gave a total of more than 190 catties.

The sum of Su Zhengfeng and Su Zhengyi is also about one hundred and twenty catties, although they are gone, Chen Dahai and Zhou Xiuzhi both looked at the two bags of yellow eels and did not speak.

There were already more than a dozen big bags tied to the ox cart, and Chen Yu sat in front, holding a flashlight in his left hand and a stick in his right hand.

"Jingshan, you come back after a while, I'll set off first."

After saying that, he flicked his stick and drove the ox cart slowly outside.

"Big brother, slow down on the road."

"Got it, you can ride slowly."

…………

"What do the eldest and second of the Su family think, is it because he is in a good mood and is not ready to fight with us?" Zhao Xiuzhi looked at Chen Dahai suspiciously.

"What else can you think, don't they love face, they earned enough face yesterday, and they feel that they are wrong and now come to apologize."

Chen Dahai wore a coat and a two-inch-long cigarette stick in his mouth, and sat on a small bench next to the threshold.

"Jingshan still has a lot of ideas, and it is easy to resolve the contradiction between the two families." Zhao Xiuzhi showed a smile on her face, and then looked at Chen Jingshan with a serious face and said:

"Jingshan, your eldest brother is a hard-working person, and he treats you well, remember to help him when he has a way to get rich in the future."

"I know all of this, so I don't need you to say it."

Chen Jingshan smiled, got on a motorcycle and set off, heading towards the county seat.

Halfway through he caught up with his eldest brother's ox cart, but instead of stopping, he sped up.

…………

5:40 a.m.

At the entrance of the vegetable market, Zhao Laosi and Wang Xiaogang were sitting on the stone pier, smoking cigarettes and waiting.

Seeing a motorcycle carrying two big bags driving over, both of them immediately got up to greet them.

After helping to unload the goods, Zhao Laosi handed Chen Jingshan a cigarette with a smile, and said with a smile: "You came early today, and the vegetable market will not open for half an hour." ”

Chen Jingshan realized that it was too early for the vegetable market to open, and he couldn't get the scales......

But he still has to hurry back to continue pulling the yellow eel, and it must be too late to wait for a while.

"Gu Sell, see for yourself how much it is, my eldest brother's motorcycle is broken, and I have to go back and reverse." Chen Jingshan said straight to the point.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Zhao Laosi took a cigarette and carried one of the bags, "Ninety catties at most." ”

Wang Xiaogang didn't talk nonsense, grabbed another bag and lifted it, and skillfully reported: "More than eighty catties." ”

When these two bags of yellow eels were at home, Chen Jingshan remembered that they were more than 110 catties, but these two guys who ate people and didn't spit out bones were so picky.

"Two bags are counted as one hundred catties, today the water is added less, and the gross weight is nine cents, if you think there is no one hundred catties to go, I will wait for others, and it is okay to sell less today."

Chen Jingshan lit a cigarette and found a stone pier to sit down without hurrying.

"A hundred pounds is a hundred pounds."

After exchanging glances with each other, the two old foxes carried their bags again, and each took out ninety yuan and handed it to Chen Jingshan.

There are still 1,600 catties left, and according to 100 catties per dealer, they can't be sold at all.

On the second day of running, there were more people waiting for Chen Jingshan, and seeing that he only pulled two hundred catties over, many people were a little dissatisfied with their faces, the golden time for selling vegetables was just like this, and if it was late, the business would be greatly reduced.

"Don't worry, I have a lot of them this time, but the car breaks down and I can only rush," Chen Jingshan began to explain to everyone, and used a nirvana: "Today is the last day, the later you get the yellow eel, it means that there are fewer yellow eels in the city, and the fewer competitors you have." ”

"I still have 1,300 catties on the road, and if I come late, I will give you five cents less per catty for each trip!"

Chen Jingshan didn't know if there would be fewer competitors, but he made a profit, and many vendors said that it was acceptable, after all, the time to buy vegetables was not only in the morning, but also in the afternoon and noon.

After pulling two hundred catties at a time, all the remaining yellow eels were pulled and the vendors were found to get the goods, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

Chen Jingshan sweated and went to the commissary next to the vegetable market to buy a bottle of soda, and when he came back, he was suddenly stopped by Mrs. Huang's stall.

"Xiao Chen, that girl just came to look for you, and when she saw that you weren't there, she left again, as if she was still crying."

“…… Is that the one who came to me two days ago? Chen Jingshan's hand tightening the bottle cap suddenly froze, and he looked at Mrs. Huang with a stiff expression.

"Well, she is carrying a schoolbag and a suitcase, and she has been waiting for you here for almost an hour, and it shouldn't be far away just now."

Couldn't talk to Mrs. Huang, put the soda in his trouser pocket, and touched the pocket containing the money, Chen Jingshan hurriedly rode a motorcycle in the direction of Pengcheng Railway Station.

Peng Cheng can choose to go to Wushi by car or train, and he remembers that Zhou Yunna said that he doesn't like to take a car......

"Yun Na, when you get to Fog City, you have to rely on yourself, don't blame your mother for not letting you see him, you are still young and can't look at people."

At the door of the bus station, Wang Mei took Zhou Yunna's hand and said her final goodbye, Zhou Haiyue walked out of the convenience store next to her and handed Zhou Yunna a bag of snacks and drinks.

"Dad, Mom, I know, you can go back."

Zhou Yunna nodded and walked into the entrance of the station, and they didn't turn around and leave until Zhou Yunna disappeared into the sea of people.

Suddenly, Zhou Yunna saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Chen Jingshan was leaning against the door, with a bottle of soda pinned to his trouser pocket, and a big bag of snacks in his hand, which was full of her favorite food, and was standing in front of the last door of the station, smiling.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Yunna's heart was sweet, and she asked with a smile, "How do you know that I am here?" ”

"I've been to the train station to see it, and there's only one bus to Fog City today, and it leaves in the morning, so I guess you're here."

Chen Jingshan smiled and handed her the snacks, only to find that Zhou Yunna already had a bag in her hand.

"I don't like to eat what my dad bought, let's change it and take it back for Lingyan to eat."

…………

In the last two minutes from the departure, the staff urged at the door over and over again, and Zhou Yunna reluctantly got up and walked to the entrance of the car.

Before leaving, she reached out and handed Chen Jingshan something, which was a small red rope with a small silver fish the size of a grain of rice.

"Chen Jingshan, see you in a month!" Zhou Yunna, who was standing at the door, smiled and waved at him, and Chen Jingshan noticed that she was also wearing an identical bracelet on her hand.

"See you in a month."

………………

In the eyes of the staff, Chen Jingshan refunded the ticket with a dead face.

Walking out of the bus station, Chen Jingshan felt a momentary dazed in his heart.

At present, the net income from selling yellow eels is about 2,600 yuan, which is not a small amount, at least you can do some other business, and you don't have to wear the stars and the moon like this anymore.

On the way back, Chen Jingshan saw Zhao Erniang and her man walking around the vegetable market halfway, the two were sweating, it seemed that they had been wandering around for a long time, but even so, the two were still in good spirits.

Chen Jingshan didn't think much about it, he bought a bottle of liquor in the county town, and after three catties of braised pork and let the store mix it, he rushed back with his things.

The snacks and drinks are Chen Lingyan's, and the braised pork and liquor are for adults.

The family happily had lunch and began to plan for the future.

After eating, Chen Jingshan returned to his room and began to sort out the change, and there were several piles of more than 2,600 change.

He counted out three hundred yuan and took it out and handed it to Chen Yu: "Big brother, this is your money." ”

"I've only been working for three days, I will charge you a maximum of 100 yuan, and I don't want any more!" Seeing so much money, Chen Yu immediately pushed the money back with a straight face.

"Big brother, didn't you also give me a hundred yuan some time ago, and now you are different from before, you have to have money on yourself."

Chen Jingshan also ignored his refusal, coupled with the persuasion of Zhao Xiuzhi and Chen Dahai, he successfully stuffed the money into his eldest brother's pocket.

"Jingshan, will you still harvest yellow eels tomorrow?" Zhao Xiuzhi asked tentatively.

"The yellow eels in the village are sold out, and it is estimated that it will not be easy to do, so I will take Lingyan to sign up tomorrow, and then think of a way."

The family felt a little regretful when they stopped doing the yellow eel business, and Chen Yu planned to buy a pig tomorrow and kill it to sell meat in the town.

Killing a pig and selling meat can also make dozens of dollars.

At night, there was no movement from the villagers, Chen Jingshan felt strange, he hadn't notified him, how could they know that they didn't do the eel business?

When night fell, when the family was ready to rest, Su Zhengfeng led his daughter-in-law into the courtyard of the Chen family.
