Chapter 66 Yang Datou’s Thoughts
On the day of departure, Jiang Ning woke up very early and called Yang Erdan, "I'll take your sister-in-law to Songxi Town. I estimate it will take about three days to come back. I'll leave all the family matters to you these days." Well, if anyone asks, just tell me where your grandma and your sister-in-law are, and don’t bother with anything else.
The yard at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain will probably be built when I come back. I will go to Pan Xiuniang and order oysters from her. If anything happens to the second room in the meantime, you don’t have to deal with it. This is one tael of silver, you can keep it with you. "
Jiang Ning arranged everything properly, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took the goods they had saved at home and a set of clothes Liuye made for Yang Xiaohua and set off.
When passing by Yang Han's house, Jiang Ning called out, "Little Flower!"
“Come on!” Yang Xiaohua jumped over and opened the door.
Jiang Ning hurriedly gave her the baggage, "These are the clothes your sister Ye Zi made for you, take them!"
“Did you make it for me?” Yang Xiaohua’s eyes suddenly lit up, she suddenly turned around and shouted towards the stove: “Dad, Sister Yezi made clothes for me!”
Yang Han ran out and refused again and again, "Why did you make clothes for this girl? Hurry up and take them back for her to wear!"
Jiang Ning said seriously: "Our family has troubled you for so long during this period, and we have troubled you to take in Mianmian. Just making clothes for Xiaohua is nothing! Brother Yang Han, don't refuse. Today our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law want to trouble you besides giving clothes. Do me a favor."
“What’s the matter?”
As soon as Yang Han heard that the two were going to Songxi Town, he immediately went out and told Yang Xiaohua: "Don't run around at home. Dad will be back soon."
When the three of them arrived at the river ditch, Yang Han rowed a bamboo raft and took them to the Wei River. He watched them get on the fishing boat before leaving.
Liu Ye murmured in a low voice: "Auntie, are you going to trouble Uncle Yang Han every time you go out?"
Jiang Ning shook his head, "It's okay not to ask your Uncle Yang Han for help, but it's a little troublesome. We have to ask Erdan to come with us and let Erdan row the bamboo raft to see us out, and then get the bamboo raft back. It will take half a day to come back. No, it’s too much of a delay, and besides, your Uncle Yang Han will definitely not accept the things we sent. If you don’t find an excuse to send him away, I probably won’t be able to send the clothes out today.”
Liu Ye remembered how Yang Han was about to take away the clothes in Yang Xiaohua's arms, and had to admire Jiang Ning's thoughtfulness.
As the boat sailed on the river, Jiang Ning kept staring at the fishing boats passing by. Finally, he spotted Pan Xiuniang and her daughter when they were about to dock, and hurriedly waved to them.
Pan Xiuniang swung the boat to Jiang Ning and said with a hearty smile: "The big girl is coming to Songxi Town again!"
"Yes! Sister Pan, can you still complete the previous transaction?" Jiang Ning bluntly stated the purpose of looking for her.
Pan Xiuniang's eyes lit up, "What's going on? The older girl wants more?"
The mother and daughter had delivered oysters to Jiang Ning more than twenty times before, at a cost of 50 cents per trip. This alone earned them more than a thousand cents.
In previous years, because they had no money, they could only survive the winter on the water. The river was cold, and even a few layers of straw in the cabin were not enough to isolate the cold air from below. They could only survive by relying on a small stove to keep them warm. This year, they had a For more than a thousand yuan, she can rent two houses in Songxi Town, which costs about seventy or eighty yuan a month. With three hundred yuan, she can spend a good winter.
If this business can continue and she saves for a few years, maybe she can buy a small yard in Songxi Town, so that mother and daughter don't have to continue to wander on the water.
Jiang Ning nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "No! Now I think about making a long-term deal with Sister Pan. How much does it cost? It is estimated that it can be booked until next year and it will still be the same price. Is it okay?"
"Sure! Then when will I send it to you? Or at the same place?" Pan Xiuniang asked.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I estimate that I will stay in Songxi Town for three days. I will wait for you here early in the morning after three days. You can take me back by the way and I will ask my family to unload the goods." The two of them said After the decision was made, Jiang Ning and Liu Ye also arrived at the place.
It was Liu Ye’s first time traveling far away, and she followed Jiang Ning closely. Everything she saw was novel and cautious.
Jiang Ning took her to Linjiang Inn. It was noon and there were many people dining in the inn. The waiter and shopkeeper Hua were busy all the time.
Jiang Ning bypassed them and led Liu Ye to the kitchen.
Yang Datou shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hey, the shrimp vermicelli is ready, serve!"
As he spoke, he looked up and was overjoyed, "Aniang, Ye Zi! Why are you here?"
Jiang Ning quickly waved his hand, "You go about your business and we'll talk about it later when we have time."
After greeting Yang Datou, Jiang Ning took Liu Ye directly to the bedroom where Yang Datou lived in the backyard.
Liuye looked at the furnishings inside. The room was about a dozen square meters, and there was not much room for a bed and a cabinet. There was a small square table, a stool, and a clothes rack near the corner, making the room very crowded.
Jiang Ning and Liu Ye said: "This is a house specially prepared by the shopkeeper for Datou. There is no charge, so it is a little smaller. If you two live there, it will inevitably be a little crowded. When Datou comes over later, we will discuss whether to rent a house outside. live."
Liu Ye immediately shook his head, "Mommy, it's already troublesome for me to come here, how can I spend more money! Don't worry, this place is quite big. Datou and I can fit in it if we squeeze in."
Jiang Ning still wanted to persuade, but Liu Ye didn't agree with anything, and even pulled Jiang Ning to lie down on the bed, "Look, Mom, there is room for the two of us to sleep, so it will be no problem for two of us."
As he was talking, the flower shopkeeper appeared. When he saw Jiang Ning, his face almost turned into a chrysanthemum with laughter, "Sister, are you here to teach Datou how to cook again?"
Jiang Ning was amused in her heart, but nodded slightly, "Well, this is Da Tou's wife. She is already busy with all the work at home. I plan to let her come and take care of Da Tou. Is it okay to live with the flower shopkeeper?"
"It's a small matter! If you think this room is small, I can change it to a bigger one for you!" Shopkeeper Hua smiled brightly, looking like he was particularly open to negotiation.
Liu Ye intuitively felt that he was a good person.
When Yang Datou came over after finishing his work, after knowing what the flower shopkeeper said, he hurriedly said to Jiang Ning: "Auntie, actually you didn't bring Ye Zi over this time. I plan to go back to discuss with you and let Ye Zi come over here."
“How do you say that?” Jiang Ning looked at Yang Datou suspiciously.
Yang Datou suppressed his excitement and looked outside, and whispered: "There are several hills in Huaxi Town, where Huai'an County intersects with our Pingan County. As long as there are heavy rains for several days in summer, flash floods will occur, and many people die every year. Man, this time I heard that the new county magistrate in our county pays special attention to it.
The plan is to move all the mountain residents out of those mountains, close the mountains, and rebuild the official roads. Now they have begun to recruit people. Even the materials are shipped from the Songxi Town port, ship after ship, and the construction is really started. At least two or three years.
There are obviously a lot more people coming to Songxi Town during this period, and it is more lively at night. I want to take this opportunity to make some money. "
