Lin Xiuqing looked over suspiciously, and saw Ye Chenghu running to the firewood pile behind her and pulling one out of the sack.

She poked him twice in the arm with the branch in her hand,

"Don't steal food, do my homework well."

"Got it, I'll give it to my father." Lin Xiuqing looked at his courteous actions suspiciously, and when she saw that he was indeed giving it to Ye Yaodong, she withdrew her eyes again and didn't pay attention to him.

Ye Chenghu's little eyes kept peeking at his mother, and looked at his father flatteringly. Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and said angrily: "Hurry up and write it to me, don't be lazy." ”

"Uh-huh." Ye Chenghu nodded as if the chicken pecked rice and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Ye Yaodong noticed that it was a bitter mandarin in his hand, not an orange.

He asked Lin Xiuqing, who was burning the fire, "Did our father send bitter oranges over today?" Didn't I say wait for me to ride over in the next two days? ”

"He said that he saw that the oranges were very easy to sell yesterday, so he wanted to sell them for more money, and planned to push a cart of oranges to sell while walking every day, and he would send them to us by the way today, anyway, this bitter orange can be left for ten days and a half and be fine."

"Our father's ability to walk the streets and alleys is not bad!" Lin Xiuqing smiled,

"It's not all about making more money, Hukou."

"You're all old, just let your eldest brother and second brother do it."

"Where can he sit, last year when he fell his foot, he told him not to go to the ground, where can he listen to others, he limps and still has to carry a hoe to work in the field."

"Otherwise, next year, it's better to ask him to go to the city to show us the shop, sit there, and it's easy to go to the ground." Ye Yaodong originally just said it casually, but thinking about it, he suddenly seemed to think that it was okay?

I don't know who to look for in the shops in the city? Looking for outsiders is not at ease, he also plans to wait for the store to arrive, and then collect more dried fish and sell it in the shops in the market.

It doesn't matter if you can't speak Mandarin, it's good to understand it, and it's okay for chickens and ducks to talk about comparisons, and now there are more people who can't speak Mandarin.

When Lin Xiuqing heard this, her mouth opened wide in surprise,

"My father has only been to the county seat in his life, and he has only been to it once, how can you ask him to go to the city to see the shops? He didn't even speak Mandarin. ”

"How is it not suitable? He can walk the streets and alleys to sell, at least dealing with strangers and selling things, it's still not a problem, right? Anyway, if the price is set, people will weigh it if they want it, and if they don't want to pull it down, open the door on time and close the door at the point. ”

"But he doesn't speak Mandarin, and the language spoken in the city is different from what we speak here."

"It's not a thing, it's good to compare and compare, besides, where is there really not going to say? It's just that I can't open my mouth for a while, and it's good to exercise. I'll get him a radio and put it in the store when the time comes, so I can listen to it and learn more, so that I can pass the time. Lin Xiuqing was confused by his sudden idea, and even thought of letting her father go to the city to see the store?

If she really dared to think about it, she didn't dare to think about it. The more Ye Yaodong talked, the more he felt that it was feasible, anyway, his father-in-law was almost 60 years old, and it would be good to leave the work on the mountain and the field to the two brothers-in-law, otherwise he would ask his mother-in-law to go to the city to see the store together, and he could also take care of his father-in-law's diet and daily life.

"Well, I'll see it's okay, when I deliver them, I can replace them, and then they will come back on the return tractor for two days." Lin Xiuqing was stunned,

"You've thought about it?"

"I just thought so! It's not a rush of words, feel like it's okay? Before, we were worried about whether the store should recruit people, and who to recruit? I also thought that if no one rented it, I would keep it there, and wait for me to come over and sell it a few times after a while. Now, your dad has a ready-made candidate! She blinked twice,

"Why do I think you're thinking so much? Isn't my dad going to the streets and alleys to sell oranges for a few days? You even thought of it...... Tell him to go to the city to see the store? He's a man who's never been far away......"

"I've never been far away, what are you afraid of? He is a 60-year-old man, he eats more salt than I eat, and he can walk the streets and alleys to shout, is he afraid of dealing with people? ”

"I'll accompany him to stay for two or three days, and I don't need him to help me solicit business, he just sits there and looks at a store, it's a big deal that I write a few more price signs, stand there, people ask how much, he just shows the brand to others, no need to compare. Ordinary people don't know how to read, how many corners and a few minutes can they still know? ”

"I'm afraid that my father can't speak honestly......"

"He doesn't speak Mandarin, what do you want him to say? It's good to know how to look at the scales and sell things. What's more, if you sell goods, people want you to be cheaper, that's what people say, you can sell it, if you can't sell it, shake your head and don't sell it, you don't need to talk more, and you don't ask people to buy it? Lin Xiuqing listened and felt that what he said seemed to make sense.

"It's... This is too sudden, let's talk about it in a few days, he may have to sell oranges and pomelos for a long time recently, and when he sent it over today, there was only a sack of bitter oranges left for us, and everything else was sold out. ”

"Don't worry, wait for the store to hand it over, and then he won't have to push the cart everywhere to sell, just pull the grapefruit and oranges to the shops in the city to sell, and the market will sell very well."

"Say it again! Who knows if my dad will or not? This person is unfamiliar with the place, let him stay in the city, he should probably be uncomfortable, he has never been to the city a few times in his life. ”

"Uh...... "It's hard to say if you're uncomfortable!" The plot of the old man's land is indeed very heavy......

"Then I'll talk about it in a few days, and if I run into him in a few days, or if we have a past, I'll ask him again and talk to him." Lin Xiu gave him a clean look,

"Your mouth can be said to be alive if you die, my father probably can't bear it."

"What are you talking about? If you want to praise me, praise me well, can I still force your father? ”

"You can't force him, but my dad will definitely be rejected by what you say, and he may bite the bullet."

"Say it again! Your dad sells oranges for a few more days, maybe he can exercise to the next level, and when I say it, he feels that he is old and has a place to use, and he will be happy immediately? Lin Xiuqing amused him.

"That's my own father!"

"It's my dad too!"

"What's the daddy or not", Mother Ye happened to call the two aunts over at this time,

"What about the fish? Why wasn't it in the yard? Lin Xiuqing smiled and narrowed her eyes,

"Pull it to the back door, the front door is full, it's not good to dry, it's better to dry it to the back door today."

"This big night, hanging outside, will someone steal it? There are so many petty thefts, and there is nothing that people don't want, so it's safer to hang in the yard. ”

"The yard is already full of ......"

"It's okay to hang it a little lower later, one layer for the high one, and one layer for the low one."

"It's okay, then let's put it in the back door to kill it first, and then it will be taken to the front to dry, otherwise there will be one road left in the open space in front, and it will not be convenient to kill."

"Hmm." After Ye Mu answered, she beckoned her two sisters to go to the back door to kill fish. Fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, since Ye's sister-in-law and Ye's second sister-in-law also started to kill their own fish, and they couldn't spare their hands to earn their wages here, Ye's mother gave her own sisters to do the work.

Lin Xiuqing saw the eldest aunt and the second aunt come in with their own blades, and hurriedly took out two bitter oranges from the sack on the side of the firewood pile, and stuffed them into their arms.

"Aunties try it, my dad planted it himself."

"Hehe, you don't have to give us food, we don't have time to eat, we're going to kill fish soon."

"Yes, you don't have time to eat, you keep it for the two children at home, don't be so polite."

"They eat, and you will work when you have eaten." Mother Ye also smiled and said: "Taste it, they are all planted by my in-laws, and they are quite sweet and have a lot of moisture." ”

"Hey, it's good......" They were willing to eat wherever they wanted, they didn't move in their pockets, and as soon as they arrived at the back door, they sat down to kill fish, and they were ready to leave it for their grandchildren at home.

After Ye Yaodong and the others went to the back, he said again: "I just said seriously, if your father comes over tomorrow, you can tell him to see if he is willing?" ”

"Tomorrow it is estimated that it will not be sold here again, it is estimated that it will go to other villages, and it will be sold here for two consecutive days, and it is estimated that it will be changed tomorrow."

"That's right, then I'll take the time to ask in a few days. By the way, did you get any money for your dad? This 100 catties is a lot of money, a few yuan. ”

"I gave it to him, he didn't want it, stuffed it into him, and he threw it back before he went out."

"In a few days, I will leave a sack of dried fish and carry it to him."

"That's what I thought too."
