Several families next door are next door to Ye Yaodong's house, separated by a courtyard wall and two vegetable patches.

They also flattened a large open space with the remaining stones and mud in front of their house, and on rainy days, they didn't have to have puddles of mud everywhere, and there would be no yellow mud footprints everywhere when they stepped into the house.

Zhou Da was still eating, and Ye Yaodong was sitting on the wooden bench at the door and waiting.

As soon as he sat down, the other people next to him also came over, and Zhou Da also came out, so they simply sat at the door and chatted.

On a hot day, it is quite comfortable to sit at the door and blow the sea breeze, not to mention that after the typhoon, the night is particularly cool, and the salty sea breeze is also a unique breath of the seaside.

"What do you say? Do you want to go to the city? Zhou Dayi asked as soon as he came out of the house.

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone, you look at me, I look at yours, still hesitating there, so he said, "Either do you plan to go and raise your hand?" If you don't plan to go, or haven't thought about it yet, just keep silent? ”

Zhou Da raised his hand, "Yes, I want to go, but if the number of people is small, then forget it." ”

Ye Yaodong also raised his hand, "I'm the same, I can also think of it as going to see the world, after all, I haven't left the county seat since I was so big." ”

The others also hesitated one after another, raising 3 hands, but only two people were still hesitating, and they were the two brothers of the Lan family.

There are six households living next to him, two brothers from the Lan family and four brothers from the Zhou family.

"If you two don't plan to go, we have enough of five people, so we'll go directly to the secretary's house to help open a letter of introduction, and then apply for a tractor."

The villagers don't believe it, but they feel that it is too tossed and too far away, and it is convenient to put it for the dock to collect.

"Don't grind and chirp big men, you guess you're the same as me, and you haven't been out of the county in your life, right? Let's go out and have a look, but now it's been changed, it's getting better everywhere, I heard that the city is the same every day, the city must be better, are you sure you don't go out to see the world? ”

I don't know if Ye Yaodong's words moved them, the two glanced at each other, and after Lan Da nodded, Lan Er also gritted his teeth and said, "That's okay, then let's go together, and we should go out for a long time." ”

Lan Da also said: "We also have a lot of goods, and the price in the city is definitely higher than that of the wharf, and we can sell it for more money." ”

"Okay, let's go with seven people, I'll go to the secretary to open a letter of introduction, you should prepare, go to sleep."

"I'll go with you", Ye Yaodong also stood up, "Dad, do you want to ask the eldest brother and the second brother if they want to be together?" ”

A few friends forget it, they went late, I learned about it before, the number is not so much, and the difference is not big, so don't toss.

"Yes, call your two brothers too, it's a trip anyway."

Father Ye hesitated, "I mentioned it to them earlier, let them consider whether they should also take it to the city, I don't know if they are willing?" I'll ask. ”

Ye Yaodong nodded, "It's okay, then you go and ask, let's go first, and you will go to Secretary Chen's house when you ask." ”

"Okay."

After the decision was made, everyone went back to prepare for themselves, and Ye Yaodong and the boss of the Zhou family also chatted while walking with flashlights and walked towards Secretary Chen's house.

It's already dark, it's rare tonight, the village looks quite lively, every house is brightly lit, in the past, in order to save electricity bills, turn off the lights when it's dark, and go to bed after a while.

Today, families are still queuing outside the dock, women are rarely waiting by weaving nets with their lights on, and children are running and jumping in front of their homes.

The people who sold the goods early were also reluctant to sleep, and the conversation was high.

"Those who sold early have made a profit and caught up with the good price. Oh, by the way, did the batch you sell in the morning also the big three cents and the small ones. ”

Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's right, there will be no one, I sent it early, I picked it carefully, his grandmother is a grandson, and the old man who is harmed is also sorted like this, it is not mixed at all, it is real, otherwise it will not be unwilling to send it to the dock." But if Lao Tzu mixes one or two percent, he won't toss and go straight to the queue. ”

"It's good that you pick carefully, no one is blind, and the buyer will definitely check it roughly, and it will definitely be able to sell it for a good price."

"Hopefully!"

It's all picked, it's all bundled, and it's too troublesome to mix it in, anyway.

They talked as they walked, and there was no one walking on the road, basically sitting at their own doors, but the eyes on both sides of the road also fell on them, and as soon as they walked by, some people began to talk again.

The countryside is full of gossip and talk.

As soon as Ye Yaodong and the others arrived at Secretary Chen's house and explained their intentions, although Secretary Chen was surprised, he still gave a letter of introduction.

It's that they have to use a tractor at night, it's too late to say, and they can approve it, that is, they have to go to a few people in the village who can drive a tractor to discuss who will go and how much they will be paid, and they have to discuss this themselves.

Both said it was fine.

After they came out, they planned to look for someone who could drive a tractor, and happened to meet Father Ye.

"Your eldest brother and second brother said that they have been queuing for a long time, so they won't toss, the line is also moving now, and they are not stuck there, so they will wait patiently and slowly row there."

"Okay, then it's not reluctant."

"Hmm."

Father Ye actually wanted the three brothers to go in and out together, they could do everything together, and they could make money together, but their wings were hard, and they could only have their own children and grandchildren.

After they had all made arrangements, they agreed to leave at 10 o'clock, and then went back to their respective homes to sleep.

Four hours is sufficient, in the past, the bus started and stopped slowly, passing through the next county have to stay for 15 minutes to wait for passengers, it takes more than 3 hours, the tractor drives slowly at night, and the direct should be three hours to arrive.

Ye Yaodong was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep too early, so he deliberately drank two glasses of liquor with his father before lying down.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Lin Xiuqing called him, and he woke up.

"I boiled two eggs for you, and I also took a canned food and noodle tea cake, and put them in the satchel I prepared for you, you are hungry, remember to eat them."

"Okay."

"It's also convenient to carry a satchel, it's not easy to drop it in front of you, you remember to carry it well, don't be robbed."

Lin Xiuqing held a pair of shorts in her hand, and continued: "Also, I just sewed a secret grid with buttons for you in this shorts, and put the money in it after selling it, so that it won't fall off, and you can change it when you get up." ”

Ye Yaodong didn't take the shorts, but held her face and kissed her fiercely, "Wife, you think really thoughtfully, it's so caring." ”

Lin Xiuqing pushed him away with a smile, "Of course you have to be careful when you go out, not to mention that you are still going far away." Remember to come back early, come back when you sell out, don't wander around, the more chaotic the place is with more people. ”

"Don't worry, I'm ...... measured"

"What's your measure? I won't say a few words, maybe you are wandering around, and my father asked me to tell you a few words, so that you don't run around, if you want to increase your knowledge, there will be more opportunities in the future. ”

"Got it."

Anyway, it should definitely sound better, Ye Yaodong took the shorts, and after getting out of bed, he directly took off the shorts on his body and replaced them with the ones that Lin Xiuqing had just sewn.

He also touched the dark compartment inside, feeling that if he didn't touch it, there was no sense of existence, anyway, the boxers were very loose.

After putting on the long sleeves and trousers, he went out, and Lin Xiuqing also followed behind him, planning to send him off, this was his first time going out, and she was also a little uneasy, she was so unreliable before......

As soon as Ye Yaodong opened the door of his house, he took a look at the dock in the distance, where the lights were still bright, and there were many flashlights on the shore, and there were still a lot of people watching.

It's been a few hours, but I didn't expect there to be a lot of people, and I don't know if his eldest brother and second brother have sold out of goods.

He glanced at it a few times, heard the sound of chatting from next door, and walked out of the courtyard gate to the door of Zhou Da's house, where everyone else had already gotten up to chat.

"Morning!"

"Hahaha, it's still night."

"Ah, yes, it's still night."

Ye Yaodong smiled, he was asleep in the lake, it was not yet early in the morning, what was early.

Before they could gossip a few words, the sound of a tractor clattering was approaching in a short time, and he looked at his watch, which was very punctual.

Everyone helped each other to carry their goods onto the tractor and stacked them, and they were not afraid to mess up their goods, and they all had their own marks on their sacks.

Ye Yaodong is too, the mark on his sack is Ye San, and the sack is also bought with money, of course, it can't be noted.

After everything was moved, they climbed onto the tractor, and Ye Yaodong waved his hand to Lin Xiuqing, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, "Go back, go to bed early, I'll be back tomorrow." ”

"Be careful, remember not to run around?"

"Got it."

The others waved at their family members standing at the door.

The tractor crank slowly shook a few times, accelerated after normal operation, and the car re-emitted the sound of the clattering motor, reaching a certain speed to loosen and decompress, and the crank automatically withdrew after the fire, and the young man driving also climbed on the tractor.

"Xiao Zhou, it's okay to drive slowly, safety first."

"Yes, yes, this typhoon has just passed, the mountain road is not easy to walk, there are potholes everywhere, be careful, it's okay to drive slowly."

"Okay, I've got a headlamp."

"We brought it with us, too."

They all carried flashlights, and they all consciously turned on the flashlights to help light the way, safety first.

The tractor drove on the mountain road, there were puddles everywhere, and it was dark all around, but fortunately they were not lonely.

He also deliberately knocked down two bags of shells, and everyone sat on them.

chatting all the way, the mood was both nervous and a little excited, mixed with a little dazed.
