Chapter 196 Going to Lucheng
Early the next morning, Li Changle was woken up by Zhou Ruonan from his sleep, "Have your things been packed?"
"My grandma and sister-in-law are still cleaning up."
Zhou Ruonan looked at him with a smile, "When my father went to find someone to cut moso bamboo, he met Uncle A Dong. He said that comrades from the border police station called the village and said they would come to give awards to you and A Wei tomorrow afternoon.
"
Li Changle sat up happily after hearing this, "Did you tell us what you would reward us with?"
"No!" Zhou Ruonan smiled and handed him the clothes, "What else can I have, it's just a thermos bottle, an enamel basin and so on."
"Alas! I can't even get back the money from selling the scrap metal." Li Changle shook his head and took the clothes, and found that his hands were even more sore than before going to bed last night.
I had expected that I would be more sore today than yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be so severe.
"I'm just talking nonsense every day. I spend about ten yuan just as I spend it. There's no prize worth that much!"
"Our teacher Zhou is still of high ideological quality." Li Changle approached Zhou Ruonan, grinning in pain, and looked at her pitifully, "Wife, help me, I can't lift my hand."
"Being a monster again!" Zhou Ruonan rolled her eyes at him, took the activating oil, and lightly patted his arm. "Turn over and sit down. I'll rub some medicated oil on your shoulders and arms."
"So fierce, nothing like our lovely Teacher Zhou!" Li Changle reached out and pinched her earlobe with a playful smile.
"Dian!" Zhou Ruonan slapped him, "If you keep making trouble, you won't be able to catch the early train."
As soon as Li Changle sat down hurriedly, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell her about the beads last night, "A'nan, I want to leave three golden beads to make a set of jewelry for you."
After hearing this, Zhou Ruonan's smile spread quickly on his face, and he said angrily: "I don't want such an expensive thing. If I lose it, I'll be heartbroken. I might as well sell it and save the money to buy a tin boat later!"
"Your husband will earn the money to buy the tin boat!" Li Changle held her hand and looked at her with a smile, "My wife is so beautiful, and wearing jewelry is no worse than a movie star."
"Give me the ecstasy soup again!" The corners of Zhou Ruonan's mouth rose, and his heart felt as sweet as drinking honey. "If you really want to keep them, you might as well pick them from that bag of irregular beads..."
Li Changle looked at his frugal wife and felt a little uncomfortable, "A Nan..."
"Listen to me!" Zhou Ruonan glanced at him softly, "In that bag of beads, there are several drop-shaped and oval ones, and the drop-shaped ones are my favorite.
It's a little bigger than a pea. Plug it into a pair of cloves and a pendant. It'll be much prettier than the ones you mentioned, which are bigger and rounder."
"I'll rub it myself. Go take it out and let me take a look." Li Changle took the medicine bottle, poured some medicinal oil into the palm of his hand, and started rubbing it.
Zhou Ruonan rolled her eyes at him when she saw this, "I couldn't even put on my clothes just now, why can't I do it now?"
"I'll bear with you, it's more important to pick out beads for my wife." Li Changle smiled miserably, "Hurry up, I won't be able to catch the early train later."
Zhou Ruonan checked the time, hurriedly went out to wash his hands, came back, opened the drawer, took out the bag of shapeless beads, spread them out on the bed, and picked out a dozen drop-shaped and oval beads.
These beads come in gold, white and pink. They look really good in shape, but they don't look as grand as those round beads.
"If you like this one, we'll just keep it. If you don't like the gold one, we'll keep the three white ones."
"Ale, it's not about the color or that I can't bear to part with it. The main thing is that I really don't like the big and round ones. How about we keep three small ones?"
Two hundred yuan a piece, three beads can buy a second-hand fishing boat, she really couldn't bear it!
Li Changle thought she really didn't like it, so he could only nod, "Okay, you can pick the three you like and keep them."
"Well!" Zhou Ruonan looked at the shapeless ones, "Are these also going to be taken away?"
"You pick out the ones with good shapes and put them away, and then you can share them with your sister-in-law and Awei's wife. And the order A Dong made last night, you give it to your sister-in-law, and A Dong will give him the money."
Li Changle capped the medicine bottle, put on his clothes and pants, and went out towards the latrine.
I saw that the large tank for marinating jellyfish in the yard was filled with bamboo flats, with silver pomfret and shrimps drying on it. It was covered with a large net, and there were many flies flying around on it early in the morning.
.
The smell of seafood is just like this, with a strong fishy smell, which is better when the wind is strong. On such a sunny day, if you don't use a net to dry the fish, the fish and shrimp will be covered with fly eggs in less than half a day.
When he came back for breakfast, Mother Li, Sister-in-law Li, and Sister-in-law Li moved the dried oysters, fish, and shrimps they had packed up to the eaves.
There were a lot of things in the backpack, as well as two chickens, which seemed to be for the mother-in-law.
Mother Li took a list to him and said, "Ale, you need to add some scales when you pay zero. When you deliver these dry goods, you have to give some scales to your mother-in-law. Don't make her lose money in the end."
"I know!"
Li Changle took the order, and after drying so many oysters, he got 575 kilograms of dried oysters, 116 kilograms of Qingzhan squid heads, 85 kilograms of horse mackerel, 30 kilograms of gurgling shrimps,
Twenty-five kilograms of dried fish and thirty-nine kilograms of eels.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, when I get to Lucheng, I will temporarily deduct fifteen kilograms of dried oyster meat on the scale, Qingzhan will deduct three kilograms, and the others will deduct two kilograms and one kilogram."
As the old saying goes, if you don't weigh a pound, you won't lose a pound, unless you are unconscionably short of a pound. But if you want your business to be long-lasting, prosperous, run with integrity, and be honest and honest, that's the way to go.
Sister-in-law Li smiled and said, "You don't have to tell us, you just have to figure it out."
Li Changle: "I also want to say that it is the same for brothers and friends. Only when the accounts are clear can our cooperation last long."
Second Sister-in-law Li feels that the third child, who is diligent and willing to work, talks and acts like a different person compared to before.
Mother Li nodded repeatedly, "Ale is right. If you discuss things carefully and be harmonious, we old people will also be happy."
Zhou Ruonan pushed the three-wheeler out of the house, her sisters-in-law carried the dry goods to the car, and Chen Yongwei came on his bicycle.
Li Changle saw him carrying a bamboo basket and duck, "What are you doing with these?"
Chen Yongwei put the bamboo basket and the squawking old shelduck in the net bag on the tricycle, "My grandma is guarding the drying of dried fish at home. Let me bring these two to you and take them to my in-laws to thank her for helping sell dried goods."
Zhou Ruonan said hurriedly: "Awei, no need, grandma and sister-in-law have packed dozens of salted duck eggs, and there are still a lot of dry goods!"
"My family has duck eggs, but my aunt's has salted duck eggs." Chen Yongwei smiled and worked with Li Changle to tie the oilcloth bag with a rope to prevent the bag from falling.
After the dry goods were tied up, Chen Yongwei took them to the station on a tricycle. Li Changle hung the backpack on the back seat of the bicycle and took Zhou Ruonan to the station.
We arrived at Panzhen Bus Station in less than half an hour, and the bus to Lucheng had already stopped at the station.
Li Changle thought about the hundreds of kilograms of dry goods. If he bought all the tickets, it would cost at least three or four yuan, and he would have to deliver them to Lucheng in the future. It would be better to buy a pack of cigarettes and a condom to make friends.
"Nan, you buy the ticket first, and I'll buy a pack of cigarettes."
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
"Well!" Zhou Ruonan took a few steps, then thought about it and came back, "Ale, we need to pay for so many things."
"You buy a cargo ticket first and wait until they ask about the rest!"
"Oh!" Zhou Ruonan went to the ticket window.
Li Changle went to the canteen at the gate of the station, bought a big bag and carried it back to the bus. Zhou Ruonan had already bought the ticket and returned. The three of them moved the oilcloth bag from the tricycle to the luggage rack on the roof of the bus.
Just as he pulled the dried oyster meat into the car, a middle-aged man with a crew cut and a stack of receipts got out of the car and walked to the tricycle, "Hey, have you bought the cargo receipts?"
"I bought it." Li Changle smiled and took out the receipt for him to see, then put the cigarette into his hand, "Master, the two of us brought some dried fish to Lucheng. It looked like a lot, but it didn't weigh down at all.
"
Xiao Pingtou took it and put it into his pocket, "Someone in Datian wants to unload goods. Keep an eye on it."
"Okay, thank you! Thank you!" Li Changle responded gratefully.
Seeing that they had agreed, Chen Yongwei hurriedly lifted the oilcloth bag and the two ducks that kept quacking and put them on top. Li Changle got in the car and covered the salute net and tied it with a rope.
Chen Yongwei put the bicycle on top of the tricycle, "Brother, I have to collect those cans later, so I'll go back first."
"Ah~" Li Changle patted his head, "Fortunately, you remembered those jars, I had completely forgotten them."
"I only remembered this morning." Chen Yongwei said hello to Zhou Ruonan and pedaled away from the station.
Two hours later, the two arrived in Lucheng, unloaded the goods from the luggage rack, and hailed two rickshaws to go to the old street.
As soon as I arrived at the street corner, I saw my two sons and several children playing there.
"Xiaohai, Xiaozhou!" Zhou Ruonan shouted happily.
The two children turned their heads, saw the two of them, cheered, left their friends behind and ran towards them.
"Mom, dad, why did you come to pick us up?"
Zhou Ruonan looked at his son with a smile on his face, "Slow down, slow down! Don't fall."
Li Changle felt that the child seemed to have grown a lot since he had not seen him for more than ten days. He stretched out his hand to pull the two of them to the car, "Do you miss your father and mother?"
The two brothers nestled in their arms, "I think about it, I still miss my grandpa, grandma, brothers and sisters!"
Li Changle stroked his son and said, "You can see them when you get home in the afternoon."
"What should we do if we go back and miss grandma?"
The two brothers looked at their grandmother walking towards them with a smile on her face, but they couldn't bear to leave.
“I’ll see grandma again after the holidays!”
Li Changle jumped out of the car, greeted Mother Zhou with a smile, and then hurriedly moved the things down the car with the rickshaw driver.
Several old neighbors saw that they had packed two rickshaws with the things they had brought, and started talking quietly.
"This country son-in-law of Axia's family may have earned a lot of money. You see, these two times he came here, he has chickens and ducks, and he also comes with big and small bags."
"I heard that Axia said that her son-in-law bought a fishing boat, went out to sea to fish, and planned to sell dried goods. Last time she gave me some dried shrimps and oysters, and they tasted pretty good."
"No wonder she found someone to buy so many used containers. It seems that she brought a lot this time."
