Chen Xiaohui was puzzled as to why Ye Fan was so sure that his surname was Ren, and he was lying to her.
Ye Fan had never seen anyone before.
Walking to the main road, Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but ask: "How do you know he is a liar?"
Ye Fan: "What good person sells things on New Year's Eve? Don't you think it's unlucky? Think about it again, why didn't you decide to spend last weekend when you were in a hurry to spend money?"
Chen Xiaohui: “I said I was busy those days.”
Ye Fan looked back and raised his chin in the direction of the supply and marketing cooperative: "Two miles away, half an hour late from get off work at noon is enough."
Chen Xiaohui was speechless.
Ye Fan sighed: "Don't get excited when you hear about old things."
Chen Xiaohui: "Then how do you know what Ming and Qing furniture looks like?"
Ye Fan: "I've been reading a lot these days. I looked carefully at the ones you bought before I came here. They are all Ming-style furniture, but not necessarily all from the Ming Dynasty. The early Shunzhi and Kangxi periods were no different from the Ming Dynasty furniture. .”
Chen Xiaohui was very surprised: "You went back to the house directly that day and just read a book?"
Ye Fan glanced at her, otherwise.
Chen Xiaohui's face became hot: "What about the expert professor you are talking about?"
Ye Fan: "That's nonsense. They don't believe what others say. My surname is Ye, and I haven't been kicked out by the Ye family yet. It's not easy to find a few professors."
Chen Xiaohui was a little unconvinced: "I'm back too."
Ye Fan: "You went to the countryside after graduating from high school and have never been in contact with anyone in the antiques circle. He is not afraid of being noticed by you. Secondly, you make him feel too urgent. After three months of letting him go, the final result is that he will not be able to find out." Sell. Not to mention that every household in the Imperial City has furniture like this. It’s a buyer’s market now. Who is buying it?”
Chen Xiaohui thought about the end of the revolution the year after tomorrow, less than four years before the reform and opening up, and the market economy after the reform and opening up. She couldn't help but feel anxious, as if she would make less money every day.
Ye Fan was worried that she didn't give up: "You are lucky because you didn't lose money on those things at home. If you don't enrich yourself and rely on luck to get those things, sooner or later you will lose money because of bad luck." After a pause, "If you think that money is left This was also done by Zhao Ruping If you want to go with Chen Kuanren, go to a second-hand store. Although it is more expensive than shopping in the world, at least there are no fakes in state-owned stores. You can also go to the scrap collection station where you can buy a good thing for a hundred pounds. value.”
Chen Xiaohui: “But when I bring the scraps home, my neighbors have to talk nonsense to my mother.”
Ye Fanxin said, so you know.
"Then go to the store." Ye Fan reminded, "Buy small items. No one will be able to see it when you stuff it in your bag, otherwise no one will tell you."
Chen Xiaohui nodded and said nothing.
Seeing this, Ye Fan stopped talking nonsense. When she got home, Chen Xiaohui went back to the house and reminded her mother not to give Chen Xiaohui money. Chen Xiaohui wants to save face and cannot ask anyone to borrow money. She can do whatever she wants with her own salary. If she doesn't do it, she may benefit Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping in the future.
This year, the Geng family is as usual. The second brother Geng has a family of four, Ye Fan and his wife, Geng's father, and Yu Wentao's mother and daughter. The New Year's Eve dinner is quite different, with more abalone and kelp, and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. There are also fresh shrimps and sea fish. Before Ye Fan came, he asked Geng Zhiye to buy half a bucket and put ice cubes at the bottom and ice cubes on top. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the temperature in Jiangnan has not even dropped below zero, and the ice on the surface has melted a lot. Fortunately, the weather became colder and colder as we drove through Shanghai. When we arrived in the capital, it was freezing and snowy, and the ice no longer melted. When Ye Fan received the goods, they were still fresh.
Su Duofu was smart and said that the buckets could be cheaper and could be transported by the entire truck.
Ye Fan asked: "What should I do if I can't sell out? In the north, there are river shrimps, crabs, grass carp, crucian carp, and carp. You may not be used to eating sea fish. Unless the cost comes down, the supply and marketing cooperative has a large freezer that can sell slowly."
Wooden boxes and cartons cannot contain ice, so foam boxes must be customized and ice rinks must be purchased. Not to mention the increased cost, it shouldn’t be too expensive. There are many people in the capital, and there are even more ordinary workers. Ordinary workers would rather buy a pack of kelp than a pound of prawns. Thinking of this, Su Duofu realized that it couldn't work, at least not now. Maybe he could try it if his salary increased in the future.
Speaking of which, the Geng family made dumplings on the 30th night as in previous years.
On the first day of the new year, Dabao and Erbao got their lucky money and urged Ye Fan to go to his grandma's house.
Ye Fan rode the 28-meter large bar one after another with the two children home, and happened to meet her father coming back. Father Ye got out of the car and hugged Erbao, who was sitting on the chair in front. Erbao stretched out his little hand and said: "Happy New Year, grandpa."
Father Ye had just returned from the army. His mind was full of work. He was stunned for a while and took out a wad of money from his pocket.
Erbao exclaimed: "There are so many."
Ye Fan reached out and took it away, giving her ten yuan and Dabao ten yuan, and stuffed the rest into her father's pocket: "You can't give them all if you have money."
Chen Xiaohui heard the sound and came out of the house just in time to see this scene. She thought to herself that no matter what life, the Ye family always loved Ye Fan. At this time in the previous life, her child was about the same age as the eldest and second treasure, but her father had not been so generous.
However, Chen Xiaohui forgot that Dabao and Erbao were raised by Ye's father and Ye's mother. Her two children only came to their grandfather's house during the New Year and holidays, and were not very enthusiastic about them, nor did they say New Year greetings like the second child.
Who wants to put a cold face on a hot butt?
Ye Fan turned around and saw Chen Xiaohui in a daze. She didn't know where her mind was wandering. She shook her head slightly helplessly: "Xiaohui?"
Chen Xiaohui trembled: "Huh?"
Ye Fan sighed: "Just give me a moment and I'll push the car in."
Chen Xiaohui nodded to get out of the way, and Dabao stretched out his hand: "Auntie, carry me down."
Chen Xiaohui subconsciously picked him up. Dabao obediently said "thank you" and ran into the house, "Grandma, grandma, happy New Year."
Tao Chunlan: "Grandpa didn't give you any lucky money?"
Dabao nodded: "Grandpa gave it to me."
Tao Chunlan deliberately made things difficult for him: "Did you kowtow to me?"
Dabao knelt down and kowtowed.
Chen Xiaohui was stunned: "D-Dabao, how-"
Ye Fan was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiaohui didn’t know how to express it: “Just knock it off?”
Ye Fan thought Dabao was kowtowing: "No, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year this year. If you don't kowtow today, after dinner, or tomorrow?"
Chen Xiaohui shook her head: "What I mean is so straightforward and he doesn't hesitate."
Ye Fan couldn't understand: "Dabao is kowtowing to his mother. He is not an outsider, so why are you hesitating?"
Chen Xiaohui saw that Ye Fan was very confused: "I can't tell."
Father Ye told the driver to drive slower. Many factories had a holiday on New Year's Day this year, and the roads were full of people who were out to play or visit relatives. Then he came in with Erbao in his arms: "Xiaohui, do you feel embarrassed to kowtow to your elders?"< br>
Chen Xiaohui had never kowtowed to anyone in her life, so she couldn't help but nod.
Father Ye smiled: "Because you and your elders don't move around very often. Didn't we often visit you in the past - didn't we often visit relatives?"
Chen Xiaohui thought about it carefully. In her mind, she had never met any relatives in her life.
Father Ye saw that she needed to think: "It seems so. She doesn't move around often, and she doesn't even kiss her neighbors. Relatives also have their faults. Children, if they don't want to, just don't. So if you don't give lucky money and make a fuss about it, the children will become unhappy." Love visiting relatives.”
Dabao stretched out his hand: "Grandma, there are Erbao's. Grandpa said, it doesn't matter whether you knock or not."
Tao Chunlan took out another ten yuan and said, "That's my monthly salary." She nodded at his forehead.
Dabao covered his forehead and said, "No way. My mother said your salary is higher than hers." He gave Erbao ten yuan, "Grandma gave it to me."
Erbao stuffed it into his pocket and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Tao Chunlan smiled, "Come down, grandpa is tired."
When Erbao came down, he took out the money and gave it to his mother. Chen Xiaohui was surprised, Erbao must be too sensible.
Ye Fan took it and said, "Can you use it for me?"
Erbao: "Mom buys candy."
Father Ye deliberately teased her: "Grandma and grandpa gave this to you."
Erbao nodded to show that he knew, and still told his mother.
Ye Fan put it in his pocket. Erbao was worried and patted it hard. She patted the trouser pocket flat and couldn't tell that he was rich. He nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."
Ye Fan picked her up and said, "Little clever girl. Why don't you give it to me if your grandparents gave it to you?"
Erbao: "Erbao buys candy."
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but say: "Erbao, your mother is rich."
Erbao thought about it: "Mom doesn't have any lucky money."
Dabao nodded: "Yes. Mom, is that enough?"
Ye Fan: "Shall I keep it for you?"
Dabao shook his head decisively: "I will keep it myself."
Yu Wentao sewed a small pocket and a button inside his cotton-padded jacket. Dabao put the money in his arms: "Mom, do you have a pocket in your clothes? Ask grandma to sew one for you."
Ye Fan: "I can do it myself."
Father Ye called everyone into the house.
Ye Fan only realized something was wrong when he arrived at the main room: "Where is the eldest brother?"
Tao Chunlan got upset when she talked about this: "Your sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and daughter-in-law are quarreling. They don't usually quarrel, but they quarrel during the Chinese New Year. I don't know what they think. I won't ask them to go. Your brother-in-law and mother-in-law will call each other every now and then. A phone call is like a free phone bill. ”
Chen Xiaohui nodded: "I called before eating in the morning and said I wanted a divorce." In her previous life, Chen Xiaohui was at her husband's house at this time. She didn't go back to her parents' house often. She didn't know whether they would divorce in the end, so she didn't dare to express her position. She asked Ye Fan if he wanted to call and ask. .
Ye Fan asked her mother: "Why didn't you say why?"
Tao Chunlan said rudely: "We have been quarreling every year in the past few years. Why? It's just idle. You and Zhiye both have jobs and have to take care of children. Otherwise, we won't quarrel."
Chen Xiaohui was surprised that Geng Zhiye had such a good temper.
Ye Fan sat down opposite Chen Xiaohui, and when she raised her eyes, she could see her expression. She suddenly felt speechless. She had never thought about whether Geng Zhiye's Bai Yueguang might have the last name Ye Fan. Or maybe Geng Zhiye made up random lies before when he didn’t want to find a partner.
Ye Fan: "He is often not at home. I want to argue with him but can't find anyone. Just like today, he must be in the army."
Dabao couldn't help but say: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is the same."
Ye Fan poured a glass of water for her father: "What did Dad eat for breakfast?"
Father Ye: "Dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. Is it almost noon?"
Dabao and Erbao slept late last night, and it was nine o'clock when they had breakfast. Ye Fan felt that it was getting late, so he looked at his watch. It was past eleven o'clock: "Dad, Mom, you sit down while I cook."
Chen Xiaohui said she washed vegetables. Before her parents could say anything, she followed Ye Fan. Father Ye was very surprised and asked his wife in a low voice: "These two children seem to be better than before?"
Tao Chunlan: "Maybe I told Xiaohui that Fanfan had nothing to do at home and cleaned up the rags she bought."
Father Ye's expression changed drastically: "Buy again?"
Tao Chunlan shook her head: "I don't know how Fanfan deceived her into saying she didn't want to buy furniture."
Father Ye's heart skipped a beat: "Buy something else?"
Tao Chunlan remembered Ye Fan's words: "It's up to her. It won't be much after the salary is spent." Seeing the two children listening with wide eyes, "Dabao, don't tell aunt and grandpa that I and grandpa said she likes to buy things."
< br>
Dabao shook his head. Erbao followed his brother and shook his head.
However, Chen Xiaohui didn't come to Ye Fan because Ye Fan helped her clean the furniture: "You just don't care about the affairs of your sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters?"
Ye Fan didn't understand: "Control?"
Chen Xiaohui: "Just talk and forget it?"
Ye Fan handed her a handful of celery: "My parents can't take care of the couple's affairs, so how can distant relatives take care of it? I know what my eldest brother and sister-in-law are doing when they go back." Seeing the shrimp in the cupboard, "Didn't you eat it yesterday? ”
Chen Xiaohui looked at the cupboard: "Eat half. It was boiled with ginger and green onion. My sister-in-law said it was delicious. My mother said I would keep half for her to go back to her parents' house. When I left in the morning, my mother asked her to take it, but she said she wouldn't give it to them to eat, but to cook it for them. Dabao and Erbao eat.”
Geng Zhiye asked Su Duofu and Su Yuncheng to give half of the seafood Ye Fan brought to her husband's family and half to her mother's family.
Yu Wentao and Geng's father often complained that Tao Chunlan was robbing the first and second treasures. Tao Chunlan felt that Geng's father was robbing her of her children, but the elders of the two parents never said anything to Ye Fan, even though she owned half of everything she owned. Or neither.
Ye Fan put the shrimp back: "Dabao's second uncle and his mother are at home these days. My mother-in-law has cooked all the fresh fish and shrimp. They have eaten enough. Put it in the refrigerator - forget it, dad hasn't eaten it yet, let's cook it. "After that, he took it out again.
Chen Xiaohui: "Where's the hairtail?"
"Let's braise it. You're going to order star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried chili peppers."
Chen Xiaohui found what she wanted: "According to you, it will be in vain for the elder brother and sister-in-law to go."
Ye Fan turned on the stove: "It would have been in vain. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't be bothered by talking about my sister-in-law's family affairs."
Chen Xiaohui: "What if it's true?"
Ye Fan didn't even think about it: "Just leave. No one can live without us."
Chen Xiaohui's hand when peeling green onions froze. She told Ye Fan that Geng Zhiye had someone in his heart, but Ye Fan obviously didn't take it seriously. Could it be because she was not afraid of divorce and even thought that she might be able to find someone better if she left Geng Zhiye.
Chen Xiaohui felt that she had discovered the truth.
But why is Ye Fan not afraid of divorce?
Chen Xiaohui couldn't figure it out, just like she didn't understand just now that Dabao kowtowed to Tao Chunlan without any psychological burden.
Probably this is the difference between her and Ye Fan.
After staying in this home for a long time, she may gradually understand.
Chen Xiaohui asked if one green onion was enough.
Ye Fan nodded: "Didn't Mom buy groceries?"
Chen Xiaohui: "There is a crucian carp hanging outside, pickled with salt."
Ye Fan: "Bring it over and I'll wash it with hot water and make soup. Stir-fry the meat with celery, and stew the cabbage with oil residue. Four vegetables and one soup, that's enough."
"Do more."
Ye Fan and Chen Xiaohui were startled and turned to see Tao Chunlan approaching with a face. Ye Fan was curious and asked with a smile: "Who made our old lady angry again?" After they finished speaking, they heard the sound of a car entering the hospital. Ye Fan was surprised: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law are back?"
Ye Qian looked toward the kitchen: "Is Fanfan here?"
Dabao and Erbao came out of the house: "Uncle, aunt, happy New Year."
Li Mingyue laughed out loud: "Happy New Year." He took out twenty yuan from his pocket: "Uncle, ten yuan, and I will get ten yuan. You two divide it between yourselves."
Dabao gave ten yuan to his sister and ten yuan to himself.
Ye Jin stopped the car and picked up his nephew: "You are smart again."
Dabao wants to come down: "I am a primary school student, you can't hug me."
Ye hugged him tightly and went to the kitchen: "Fanfan, Dabao only turned five last month. Can he remember the pinyin after studying so early?"
Ye Fan: "I can remember things since I was three years old. Big brother, your brother-in-law is divorced?"
Ye Qian snorted coldly and said angrily: "Fuck you! I didn't agree with it back then. Your sister-in-law insisted on not living with me. It doesn't matter whether I agree or not. Now - Li Mingyue, do you still think so?"
Li Mingyue came over with her niece in her arms: "My brother has no future and he will marry even if the whole family opposes him."
Chen Xiaohui frowned, wasn't Li Mingyue's younger brother very capable?
Tao Chunlan turned around and saw Chen Xiaohui's expression. She was speechless and funny for a moment: "What your sister-in-law means is that her brother is afraid of his wife. It's not that nothing will be accomplished."
Chen Xiaohui suddenly realized: "But, are you afraid that you still dare to quarrel with others?"
Ye Fan was equally curious, and her eyes signaled her brother to talk.
Ye Qian sighed before saying that his brother-in-law's mother-in-law and father-in-law were both ordinary workers. One of his two brothers-in-law was about the same age as Ye Fan, and the other was under eighteen years old. When Ye Fan needed a job, his brother-in-law quietly gave the job to his own brother-in-law. Ye Qian could understand that one was his sister's sister-in-law and the other was his wife's biological brother. If it were him, he would also prefer his own family.
Chen Xiaohui suddenly understood why Li Mingyue annoyed her so much in her previous life. In her previous life, she didn't dare to be a soldier and didn't want to go to the countryside. Tao Chunlan asked Ye Qian to think of a way. It didn't take long before Ye Qian said that his brother-in-law had a job there. In this life, she did not steal the job of Li Mingyue's brother and brother-in-law. The couple could quarrel every year, but in the previous life, they would not quarrel every day.
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Song was funny: "Why are you sighing? It's my brother-in-law who should sigh."
Ye Fan: "Brother, is it because your brother-in-law doesn't agree and thinks it looks ugly?"
Ye Jin nodded: "The work is so stressful now. How can he arrange one after another. I told his brother-in-law to try the air force. If he can pass the physical examination, he can stay in the army for half his life. The old couple felt distressed and said that flying a plane is dangerous."
Li Mingyue was speechless: "My brother and sister said the same thing. Ask my brother to find you, to find your brother. Your brother used to ask my brother to help you find a job, but he secretly gave the job to his brother-in-law. How can I bother you and your brother now? .”
Chen Xiaohui thought it was indeed that job.
Ye Fan: "Your younger siblings say your brother wants to save face, or does he not want to contribute?"
Li Mingyue: "Said that my brother looked down on her mother's family. I went over and said that I also looked down on her mother's family. She was so angry that she couldn't live. I said, if you die today, I will introduce him to a partner tomorrow."
< br>
Chen Xiaohui opened her mouth wide, wondering why she had the same temper as Ye Fan.
Ye Fan: "Stop arguing?"
Li Mingyue nodded: "Go to the countryside in spring!"
Tao Chunlan was outside the kitchen. Hearing this, she went to the door again: "I called you two in the morning to urge you two to come over, just to ask you to arrange work?"
Li Mingyue: "My parents wish they could leave as soon as possible and be clean. I don't think it will last long."
No one thought this would happen so quickly.
It was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in the blink of an eye. Ye Fan took Dabao and Erbao to spend the day at Geng's house, and returned to his parents' house in the evening to pack their luggage. The next day, the three mothers boarded the train going south. Ye Fan took the sleeper berth this time and didn't bring much luggage. He didn't ask Geng Zhiye to pick him up in Hangzhou.
Geng Zhiye took a fishing boat and took a bus to Yongcheng Railway Station. The moment he saw Ye Fan, he couldn't help but complain: "I don't know how to come back."
Ye Fan asked him to hold Dabao, and then gave him the bag. He held the bag and hugged Erbao: "It sounds like you are celebrating the New Year alone."
Geng Zhiye just came home yesterday. As soon as Ye Fan got home, he could tell that there was not much oil in the rice noodles. Geng Zhiye didn't dare to continue on this: "You haven't slept all night, have you?"
Ye Fan: "The trains don't stop in the middle of the night, so I can sleep for a few hours. No one has been looking for you these days, right?"
Geng Zhiye thought about the first time the food factory sold goods. Many fishermen blocked the door of their house: "I have no time. I am either digging bamboo shoots in the mountains or fishing in the sea. I can't wait to have a batch of goods before the Lantern Festival."
Ye Fan held Erbao's head and asked her to sleep well: "Can't you?"
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "The weather is not good, it's wet and cold, and the sun won't dry it out. It rained on New Year's Eve, it snowed on New Year's Eve, and it only cleared up yesterday. It rains a lot in spring, and if we can ship the goods on February 2, it's a blessing from God."
When he arrived at the bus stop, Geng Zhiye put his son down, took the second treasure and told Ye Fan to rest.
Ye Fan asked Dabao to lean on her lap: "Are you still sleepy?"
Dabao is not sleepy, Dabao is tired. After getting off the train from Hangcheng, Ye Fan hugged Erbao and carried the luggage while Dabao left by himself. Afraid that his mother would be worried about missing the train, Ye Fan asked him if he was tired. His face turned red and he said with a smile that he was not tired. Dabao, a primary school student, has grown up.
Geng Zhiye comforted his son: "It'll be fine when you get home. Dad will go back with you later."
Dabao held his mother's legs and raised his head and asked, "Dad, can you go back?"
Geng Zhiye: "Dad has annual leave - the car is here." Picking up the bag, "Fanfan, you go up first with Dabao in your arms."
Ye Fan hugged Dabao and sat in the car without letting go.
The fishing boat rocked and rocked Dabao to sleep. Ye Fan put him on the bed, and Dabao slept for another hour before waking up.
Erbao laughed at him for being lazy.
Dabao dug his sister out from under the quilt and put her coat on: "Where are mom and dad?"
Erbao pointed outside: "Dad has gone to work. Mom is planting vegetables."
Ye Fan heard from Su Yuanhang that it rarely snowed on the island, and there was no "late spring cold" often. Tao Chunlan gave Ye Fan a lot of rapeseed. Ye Fan had nothing to do after he slept, so he decided to plant half of it first and the remaining half when the weather gets warmer around Qingming Festival.
Liao Miaomiao helped with a small hoe and asked Ye Fan if he wanted flowers.
Ye Fan: "What flower?"
Liao Miaomiao: "Rose flowers climbing the wall. My classmates gave them to me. My mother doesn't allow me to plant them, saying that sunshade vegetables won't grow big. If I plant them outside the wall, even if the flowers bloom inside the wall, how much sun will they be able to block?"
Ye Fan smiled: "You can plant it if I plant it?"
Liao Miaomiao nodded: "My mother said, I'm right to learn from you."
Ye Fan: "Okay. But if a naughty child picks it before it grows up, don't fight with anyone. If you fight with a flower, your mother will not allow you to plant it in the future."
Liao Miaomiao threw down her hoe and went to the fishing village to find her classmates.
Dabao pulled Erbao out and saw a small hoe in front of his mother. Dabao picked it up and said, "Mom, let me help you."
How could Ye Fan dare to ask him to move? His arms were not as long as those of a hoe: "Take your sister and play with your eldest brother and younger sister."
Dabao asked his sister to wait for him, and he went back to the house to look through his bag - the bag contained delicious food that Li Mingyue bought for him and Erbao at the Friendship Store. Dabao dug out a bottle of Coke and carried it out with both hands: "Mom, is this okay?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Go to my brother's house. You are not allowed to drink outside."
The fishermen worked for a long time for one dollar, and Dabao drank it in a few sips, which was so annoying. Thinking of this, Ye Fan felt uneasy and reminded his son: "Tell the eldest brother and the little sister to drink secretly. Otherwise, it will be like Tian Xiaofeng's time, saying that you will not live long."
Dabao nodded obediently: "Er Bao, hurry up."
Erbao threw down the dirt and rubbed it on his body. With his clean little hands, he took his brother's clothes and followed him to the next door.
Ye Fan couldn't help frowning when he saw the fingerprints on his daughter's new coat. Boys were always sloppier than their daughters, so why was it the opposite in her family?
Ye Fan sighed and continued to dig the hole and fill it with soil, waiting for the food to be eaten in two months.
Hearing the footsteps, Ye Fan thought the two brats were back again. He looked up and saw Su Yuanhang: "Is there really someone staring at me?"
Su Yuanhang opened the door and came in: "You yourself said you would come back on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Captain Geng was very unhappy because you left a day early. You certainly don't dare to delay it until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Ye Fan: "Who are you looking down on?"
Su Yuanhang: "You don't want Commander Geng to be angry."
Ye Fan laughed angrily: "Come to tease me?"
"No, it's not." Su Yuanhang first said that there are many fruits and seafood in Yongcheng, and then added, but Ye Fan did not ask him to continue and interrupted first: "They are not your responsibility."
Su Yuanhang nodded: "But——"
Ye Fan: "Everyone has a heroic dream. If you achieve it, you can help the world. I understand. But you are just one person. Just take good care of your fellow villagers. Let's just transport goods to the capital, right? The local secretary really cares about the people." , Go to Shanghai or Hangcheng early to do sales, you didn’t agree?”
Su Yuanhang shook his head: "My father said——"
"Ignore your father! Anyone who comes to him has the same moral character as him. When things don't work out, he complains that you are young and ignorant. When things work out, he just praises you verbally. It was your first time to go to the capital and you were reluctant to buy food. You drank water along the way. Eat a cold burrito, who cares about you?”
Su Yuanhang was surprised that she even knew this: "Yuncheng said that?"
"That's what Su Duofu said. It took a long time to stop at the main station. Su Duofu asked you to get off the bus and buy some food. You said it would be easy to get to the capital." Ye Fan said, "How close is Yongcheng to Shencheng? What a coincidence. If you leave in the morning and come back in the evening, you don’t want to go there. , waiting for you to put the food in your mouth, dreaming! When you go back, tell your father that there are too many things on this island, and you will not serve him! He is working as the director of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee with the salary of an ordinary worker. Is there something wrong with my mind?”
Su Yuanhang suspected that Ye Fan was scolding him for being mentally ill.
Ye Fan: "You should think about how to keep the capital market. Tell Su Duofu and Su Yuncheng that next time you deliver goods, ask the ordinary employees of the supply and marketing cooperative if anyone has approached the director recently. Don't ask the director, he is not telling the truth. ”
When Ye Fan threatened, Su Yuanhang didn't dare to take action. As a result, he got into an argument with his father again when he got home. His father scolded him and made a fuss about being the factory director for three days. Fortunately, he is not the commune secretary, otherwise he would not have eyes for his parents.
Su Yuanhang's left ear goes in and the right ear goes out. His father didn't dare to go to Ye Fan, so the matter was settled.
Geng Zhiye’s expectation was good, but God was not kind to him, and at the end of the first year he didn’t even get enough to get a cart of seafood. The cannery had canned oranges made last winter, and sixty boxes of cans were added to make up one truck.
This time it was still Su Yuncheng and Su Duofu who were following the car.
There was more rain in February, and only one truck of goods was shipped in the third month of the lunar calendar. When the director of Haidian Supply and Marketing Cooperative saw the two of them, he said, "I thought you would have to come again in February. I'm still worried about how to sell so much. There haven't been any festivals recently."
Su Duofu explained that it rained every day and sometimes the sea was so rough that fishermen did not dare to go out to sea.
The director thought that Ye Fan had calculated based on the sales volume in previous years that the supply and marketing cooperative's business was not good, and how many months could a truckload of goods be sold: "Is there a lot of rain in April?"
Su Duofu: "It rains every time during the yellow plum season."
Director: "Try to come once at the end of April. Come again at the end of May. We don't use it in June and July according to the lunar calendar. It's too hot to start. We have to hurry up in August."
Su Duofu asked Xicheng and Dongcheng if they wanted it. The director said he had sent someone over to inform them, and then asked them if they wanted to go to the office and take a break.
Su Yuncheng said that he would not feel sleepy at night if he slept during the day. After the director and Su Duofu went in, Su Yuncheng approached Geng Zhiqin and asked her if any new faces with southern accents had come to the supply and marketing cooperative recently.
Geng Zhiqin said he had never seen it.
Employees from Xicheng and Dongcheng came to pull goods, and Su Yuncheng went to help. He asked like a casual chat if anyone wanted to do business with them, such as canned goods. He asked for it on behalf of the cannery.
They also said no, which was strange to Su Yuncheng. When he returned to the island, he told Ye Fan about the situation.
Ye Fan couldn't figure it out.
Su Duofu chatted with the people at the cannery for a few words and expressed his guess: "Is it true that no one in this world dares to imitate us and sell dog meat at the expense of sheep? More than one person said that we are brave. I feel that in the seaside commune outside the island Even if I set up a food factory, I would not dare to sell it to the capital. I am worried that if I am not familiar with the place, something will happen and I will not be able to come back.”
Ye Fan: "It's possible. But we still need to pay more attention. Shopping malls are like battlefields, changing rapidly. For example, once we find many races of oranges, we have to make plans early and sell as many as we can. Or we may go to a few more places."
Su Duofu had a big fishing boat and was experienced. He kept nodding: "That's right. By the way, this is Chen Xiaohui's letter to you. I almost forgot."
Ye Fan took it and asked, "Are my parents okay?"
Su Duofu shook his head: "Your sister-in-law didn't say anything."
Ye Fan: "Then you go back and have a rest early."
The two of them rode back on Ye Fan's family's car - Geng Zhiye's new one.
Geng Zhiye came out of the two children's room and extended his hand to Ye Fan. Ye Fan smiled and handed the letter over: "There are no teeth on the letter."
"She doesn't even care about what could happen to her." Geng Zhiye said while opening the letter: "It will only cause trouble for you." He opened his eyes slightly after seeing the content clearly.
Ye Fan moved to his side, and Geng Zhiye handed over the letter: "My brother-in-law's brother-in-law is divorced."
"Or was it his wife who mentioned it? Just because her younger brother went to the countryside?"
Geng Zhiye: "Every family in your family has a wicked person."
Ye Fan pinched his waist: "Isn't your family short-sighted?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Aunt Yu won't divorce Xiaoqin despite all the things she has done. She must say, don't worry about us, you can live well on your own."
Ye Fan: "She will definitely regret it."
Geng Zhiye got up and went to the kitchen to seal the stove: "Maybe people think that if you are sentimental, you will be full of water, but if you are ruthless, the house will be cold."
Ye Fan followed and threw the letter on the stove to burn: "I don't think so. Her parents may say that if they dare to ignore your brother now, he will dare to ignore you if you get sick in the future. It's better to leave as early as possible while you are young and find someone else. Obedient to her words.”
Geng Zhiye put down the kettle: "Go to sleep."
Ye Fan: "You don't have to be on duty?"
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "I originally thought that once the bald man died, someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble. But it turned out that after more than a month of hard work, nothing happened."
Ye Fan: "You said that the new king would do something to shock him when he came to power. I said it was a mess, but you still didn't believe it."
Geng Zhiye closed the kitchen door: "Don't underestimate it."
Ye Fan sneered: "It's just that there are fewer warships. Otherwise, one ship after another will surround him for three months, and they will practice exercises. He is more honest than anyone else. He just needs to be dealt with!"
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The idea is very good. How can there be so much firepower."
