Zhao Xiaoxing didn't know why, and asked worriedly: "Sister-in-law, you shouldn't be a liar, right?" ”

She had never heard that someone was willing to make up for the money when it was broken, and for a while she thought that Chen Xingling was coaxing them.

"You've always been nice to us, we know. But there is no way to do anything when the money is gone, so we can only consider ourselves unlucky. Let's borrow a little from you and spend it, and then pay it back to you when we're paid. ”

Chen Xingling shook his head: "When the time comes, I will take you to the bank together, and you will know that I didn't lie to you." ”

Gu Qi explained: "Our coins are issued by the central bank. Usually you can't break or damage the coin, but if it's unpredictable or accidental, the bank will give you some compensation. ”

Even Gu Qi said this, Zhao Xiaoxing finally believed it, and gratitatively grabbed Chen Xingling's hand.

"Sister-in-law, I ...... We'll leave your money to you. It's okay to have as much as you want, even if it's only a few dollars to get back, let's ...... We can't be so sad. ”

"Alright, stop crying." Chen Xingling waved his hand: "If the money is gone, make a profit back." ”

Gu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have to go to work in the factory for a while, and I can't be idle all day long." Yucheng is not so strict, and many places can sell things during the New Year. Brother, why don't you lend me a little money and let my sister-in-law make some hawthorn candy or something, I want to go to the streets and alleys-"

"Are you free tomorrow?" Chen Xingling interrupted him suddenly.

Gu Yi was slightly stunned, and then nodded.

"Yes. Sister-in-law, you know how to make hawthorn candy, why don't you teach Xiao Xing. ”

Chen Xingling shook his head: "I'm not free for the time being, I'll talk about it later." Now you go back and rest, and come here tomorrow morning at four o'clock. Your brother is going to borrow a car now, and we will leave at five o'clock tomorrow to make money, so you can go together. ”

Gu Yi: "......" ??!!

Zhao Xiaoxing: "......"!!

That night, Gu Qi drove the car back.

Chen Xingling had already cleaned up the downstairs, and was hiding in the huge warehouse in the supermarket space to find foam boxes, and took thirty of them in one go, of different sizes, one set of one, and finally only two one-meter-sized ones remained.

Thinking that the weather was very cold these days, the crabs should be able to survive for a day or two without any problem, so she didn't go to the freezer to find ice cubes to come out.

There is no ice factory in Yucheng now, there is no northerner habit of storing underground ice storage, and the seaside river never freezes, so she took out the ice cubes, even if her mouth was full of words, she couldn't explain it clearly.

Considering that I would have to stay up late in the car tomorrow night and I couldn't go without food on the road, I prepared some bread and beef jerky to carry my hunger.

After preparing this, she hurried to bed to rest.

Gu Qi parked the car and went upstairs, found that she had fallen asleep, and was worried about whether to wake her up, but finally stopped, brushed her teeth and changed clothes.

At four o'clock the next morning, the lights of the three gardens were turned on.

Chen Xingling cooked a large pot of kuay teow soup and cut two pieces of beef jerky, one as thin as a cicada's wings.

As she cut, she went through every detail, remembering some of the things she had overlooked, and doing it all over again.

In the past, she basically took on the responsibility of making money and doing things alone, so she only needs to take care of every level by herself, and things will be foolproof.

But this time is very different!

This time she needs her father's superb boat driving and stopping skills, otherwise a boatload of people will not be able to reach the island.

In addition, the number of crabs is very large, unless there are a few brothers and sisters-in-law to help, otherwise she can be busy alone!

Also, she doesn't know how to drive her current car at all, and the clutch gear always can't be coordinated, so she has to rely on her dear husband to drive it.

Moreover, the crab did not survive for a long time, and it is estimated that she could not cope with it by selling it alone, so Ma Dali must be added.

He has a lot of strength, and it is not a problem to help carry it up and down. In addition, he used to secretly sell things from time to time, shouting that he had a very good way of doing business, and he must have his help.

She thought as she slowly brushed through the various links.

Gu Qi walked into the kitchen while dressing.

"Xing'er, the car doesn't have enough gas. I'll send you to Huiqiao Village first, and I'll go back and find a place to refuel. ”

"What?!" Chen Xingling asked in surprise: "Why didn't you add it in advance?" ”

Gu Qi explained with a wry smile: "Brother Liu has been busy all day today, and by the time he goes to the gas station to refuel, the store is already closed." Brother Liu was very sorry, and said that he didn't know if it would be opened tomorrow, so let me save a little bit of it. He thought we were just going to your mother's house for the second day of the new year, and told me that as long as we didn't drive far, it would be absolutely fine. ”

Forehead?

Chen Xingling was anxious and said, "But we are going to run to the provincial capital, and we have to go back and forth for at least more than 160 kilometers - how can we!" ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Gu Qi hurriedly reassured: "I'll send you over first, and I'll drive back to the city when I turn around, and I must find a way to get the people at the gas station to refuel us." ”

At present, there is only one gas station in Yucheng, which is not large, because there are very few people to refuel, so there are few staff.

For the Chinese New Year, the staff has already gone home for the New Year, where can they continue to stick to their posts.

Chen Xingling was almost so anxious that he stomped his feet: "What if you can't refuel?!" We're going to leave tomorrow evening! Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, where may someone go to work! Brother Liu is really! Drop the chain at a critical moment! The car is running out of gas and not adding, there is only a small gas station in the whole of Chongqing, and now it is so urgent - unless it can be driven to the provincial capital! There must be at least two or three gas stations in the provincial capital. ”

"So far, there are only more than 500 gas stations in the country." Gu Qi smiled bitterly: "The provincial capital is a big place, there must be one or two." But our oil runs twenty or thirty kilometers at most, and we can't go to the provincial capital. You can't take the risk of thinking that there will be a gas station on the road, and if you turn off the fire on the road for half the night, it is called every day, and the earth is not working. ”

You can't take risks at all, it's impossible to push a car and walk dozens of kilometers to the provincial capital.

"That's definitely not going to work!" Chen Xingling was so anxious that he said, "You must come on in Yucheng!" You go to the refueling staff to help you be accommodating! In case the fire goes out along the way, people can walk back - the crab will only die on the road! Come on! I don't want everyone to be busy and end up in the middle! ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Gu Qi coaxed: "Don't panic, don't mess up." Don't worry, I'll find a way to fill up the gas before the afternoon, so that I won't delay your crab selling plan. ”

"Archie~~" Chen Xingling hugged him hard, "You must help me do it!" Be sure to arrive before evening! By all means! ”

"Hmm." Gu Qi nodded fixedly and patted her back gently, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you do it." ”

After a while, Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing came.

Subsequently, Ma Dali also arrived early.

A few people ate hot kway teow soup and fragrant beef jerky, turned off the kitchen stove, went upstairs to roll the sleeping little tiger in the quilt, picked up the car and set off quickly.

It was bright and there were no pedestrians on the road.

Gu Qi drove relatively fast, and arrived at the entrance of Huiqiao Village in ten minutes.

The brothers and sisters-in-law have all gotten up early, except for the fourth and fifth sisters-in-law, who are still sleeping, and the others are already full and ready.

The long pincers and large buckets for catching crabs are also prepared.

Chen Xingling hurriedly asked Gu Yi and Ma Dali to put on boots and let Zhao Xiaoxing stay at home temporarily.

Gu Qi gently handed his son-in-law, who was still asleep, to his mother-in-law, Liu Peiyun smiled lovingly, and went upstairs with the little guy in his arms.

Chen Sanshui put down the cigarette in his hand and said, "Bring the things!" Walk! ”

Everyone picked up their things and set off majestically behind the old father.

Gu Qi was secretly a little worried, and shouted, "Xing'er! Be careful! ”

After all, she hadn't been to the sea for many years, and the weather was so cold, I was worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt to it at first, and I didn't know if it would be dangerous.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words ended, all the wives, uncles and sisters-in-law turned their heads and laughed at him.

"Yo ho! Brother-in-law, this is worried about the little sister?! No way? ”

"Haha! The little sister comes to the sea every day, and when the sea goes, he is probably still wearing open crotch pants in the capital. ”

"Don't worry! She caught crabs when she was a few months old! ”

"Hahaha......"

Chen Xingling secretly turned around, gave him a flying kiss from a distance, and quickly ran forward.
