With things in his heart, and it was still a big deal for their family, Lin Xiuqing sat at the door all day, raising his eyes from time to time to look into the distance, looking forward to Ye Yaodong's return.

The old lady knew that it was half past two, so she picked a large handful of sweet potato vines from the vegetable field and came over.

"Ah Dong likes to eat this, I'll fry one for him later, they should be back soon, right? Let's put the rice down and cook it first, and when they come back, maybe they will start collecting dried fish in a hurry immediately, in case they don't have time to eat? ”

"Yes, what you said is that I'm going to put the rice down and cook it, and when he comes back, I'll let them eat first and then work after eating."

After Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, he put away the sleeves of the sweater that had just risen in his hand, put them in the basket, and then got up and went to the house to cook.

"Go ahead, I'll pick this sweet potato vine, wash it, and bring it in for you."

As soon as Ye Yaodong came back and didn't get home, he saw that there was already white smoke coming from his chimney, and he wondered in his heart, why did he cook so quickly today?

He thought he had misremembered the time, and he deliberately looked at his watch to make sure it was only three o'clock.

"Dongzi is back? Hurry up and sit in the house to rest, it's cold outside, sit in front of the stove and rub your hands together to warm up. ”

"Cooking so early?" He said as he walked back into the house.

"Go in and say, Ah Qing answered a phone call in the morning and asked her to tell you."

"What's the call...... Yes? ”

He was directly stuck in the middle of his words, and reacted suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise, "Is it from the army?" ”

The old lady smiled silently.

Lin Xiuqing sat in front of the stove with tongs and looked at him with a smile, "I don't know if it's a call from the army, he didn't say it clearly......"

"Ahh Isn't it? Ye Yaodong was instantly disappointed again.

"Why are you in a hurry? Hear me out...... I don't know if it's a call from the army, after all, the other party didn't say it clearly, but he told me that his name is Zhao Weimin, and he asked you to send 1,000 catties of dried fish tomorrow to the place yesterday morning, and deliver it at the same time. ”

Ye Yaodong's heart was up and down by her, and he suddenly said angrily: "You woman, you have to say several paragraphs in a paragraph, and you almost didn't give me time to rejoice." ”

"Zhao Weimin is the leader of the logistics team Zhao, and the dried fish is what he collects, and he called in the morning and said that he wanted 1,000 catties, right? I'm going to ask my neighbors, and the eldest brother and the second brother to see how many of them there are. ”

"Don't worry, the rice is already cooked, as long as you fry the sweet potato vines, you can eat, otherwise I'm afraid that you will be busy collecting dried fish and will have no time to eat."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, I'll ask first, they don't have much to offer, they left it to dry it yesterday, and it is estimated that it will take four or five days to dry." Some time ago, every household didn't get much sun. ”

"Then I'll call you later."

Ye Yaodong didn't wash his hands, and he hurriedly went out again without taking a sip of water.

The old lady looked at his back as he hurried back and forth, and couldn't help but say, "I knew that I would call him to eat first, and then tell him while eating, that he had just come back, and his butt had not even been hot before he went out again." ”

"The dish hasn't been fried yet, so it's okay for him to go next door and ask first."

"Then it's better to sit and rest for a while."

"You asked him to ask me, didn't I just say it? He's also in a hurry, what's the solution? It's not a short time, just wait for the dish to fry and ask him to come back to eat, just a few minutes. ”

"Hmm."

Lin Xiuqing took out all the dishes, put a big bowl of rice on the table, then put oil in the hot pot, quickly poured the sweet potato vines into it and stir-fried, and then minced the patted garlic and threw it in to continue frying.

She still muttered, "I don't have anything delicious to eat, I like to eat sweet potato vines, and I haven't seen him eat them before...... People used it to feed the pigs, but he suddenly liked it and grabbed food from the pigs......"

"What's this, on a cold day, in addition to radish and cabbage, there are only leeks, and this sweet potato vine grows the best, I didn't have to eat it before, and I still eat it."

Lin Xiuqing only thought about it in pieces, and listened to the old lady's rebuttal, but she didn't say anything.

Ye Yaodong went out for a walk, talked to his neighbors and came back.

"Okay? How many pounds do you have? ”

"I don't know, it's not much, I'll ask them to pick out the varieties first, and then come over and weigh them. Eat first, finish eating and work. ”

He went to wash his hands before sitting down and picking up chopsticks to eat.

Lin Xiuqing also sat down, "I received a call in the morning, and when I came back, I originally wanted to help you collect a few hundred catties first, but the old lady said that she didn't know what your plan was, and it would be too late for you to come back." I think about it, I don't know how much you plan to charge, is it the same price as the eldest brother and second brother yesterday? ”

"Well, that's right, it's so convenient to settle accounts, in case someone is red-eyed and uncomfortable watching me make money, go and ask about the approximate price of things, and then come back and say that I am black-hearted, and it is not good to exploit the villagers."

"Well, we haven't made any money yet, have we? It has already been rumored in the village that we have earned several thousand. Lin Xiuqing has a deep understanding of gossip.

Ye Yaodong saw that the old lady had not been seated, and Ah Qing had not pretended to eat, and said suspiciously: "You still haven't eaten, what are you watching?" And what about the two children, called? ”

The old lady smiled: "I'm not hungry, I haven't eaten yet, I'll wait for the two children to eat together later, they are not playing anymore, and this time is a little early." ”

"You can eat it together, and if you are hungry at night, you can cook the noodles, and the food will be hot over and over again."

"You have to work in a hurry, you eat first, don't worry about us."

"That's up to you."

Hearing that someone was calling at the door, Ye Yaodong casually took a few bites, and then went out with a big scale and a small scale.

Lin Xiuqing also followed closely and went out to help.

There are still 360 catties at home, and they only need to collect another 640 catties to be enough for the time being, but 640 is a lot.

They can't just weigh it as soon as they bring it over, and they have to pour out bags of goods brought by neighbors to check it, in case some people fish in troubled waters, and throw it in if it is not dry enough and has more water? Or mixed with other fish.

What I'm most afraid of is that I will meet a troublemaker, and I can't see you, so I deliberately add stones to it? It's not that no one has done anything that harms others and is not beneficial to oneself.

After all, this is not his own goods, he has to be careful when receiving the goods, and this is to be sent to the army, integrity and quality, he has to do it first.

However, fortunately, the neighbors are not cheating and slick, and they love to use their brains.

When I asked before, I told them to let them pick it out in advance and divide it, and there was no problem when they came over and checked it.

I'm so sleepy, my brain is like a mush, I only wrote 1000 words in an hour and a half, my brain is stagnant, I can't turn at all, I just finished writing the previous paragraph, and I immediately forgot what I wrote in front of me.

This chapter has a little less word count
