Chapter 1129 What does she want in exchange?
The village chief saw that it was Grandpa Fu and said, "Uncle Fu, I'm afraid it won't work today. This is what I agreed with the purchasing station a few days ago. No matter how much we harvest today, we have to deliver it."
When Chu Xue heard this, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Grandpa Fu: "Grandpa Fu, I can't leave today anyway. Just give me some of the fish when the fishing boat comes back tomorrow. It's just right for you to send me away directly. The fish are still fresh."
Ah Fu slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain. I didn't think it through."
Chu Xue smiled and said, "You are only thinking about me and ignore everything else."
When Ah Fu heard Chu Xue's ending, he laughed out loud: "What a beautiful and kind girl."
While they were talking, many young men from the village came up to them and asked, "Uncle Afu, is this young woman a relative of yours?"
Ah Fu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't deserve this. The girl is a relative of the Jiao family's daughter-in-law. The Jiao family couple went to pick up their daughter-in-law and grandson today, and the girl came along to take a look."
When they heard that they were relatives of Jiao's daughter-in-law, those who had bad intentions backed off. After all, Jiao's son was a soldier in the army, and he was a cadre with four pockets, so they couldn't afford to offend him.
Chu Xue naturally noticed the performance of the villagers, which was why she not only asked Grandpa Fu to help him, but also brought the Jiao family into the picture.
Of course, it was when I was on the boat that I heard the conversation between their family. It could help me get the supplies I wanted as quickly as possible and leave safely. The price of two boxes of cigarettes was simply worth it.
Since they were not buying fresh fish today, Grandpa Afu discussed it with Uncle Jiao who arrived soon, and then went to find the team leader. After all, the little girl said that she wanted to exchange it for a lot of dried goods, which would be a good thing for their fishing village. However, this matter could not be done in a high-profile manner, so they had to tell the village cadres about it.
When the captain heard the girl wanted to exchange for dried seafood, he looked at the bag at her feet and asked, "What does she want to exchange?"
Uncle Jiao waved to Chuxue.
Chuxue picked up the bag at her feet and walked over.
This bag was naturally specially prepared before boarding the boat, and the things were also prepared early in the morning. For fishermen, these things are more attractive than money.
He introduced Chuxue, "Chuxue, this is the captain of our Jiaotang East Village. You can just call him Uncle Dewang."
Chuxue nodded to the person, smiled faintly, and called out, "Hello, Uncle Dewang."
The captain was not a rigid person. There was little land here, and every household depended on the sea for their livelihood. In addition, travel was inconvenient now, and the family lacked everything except the dry goods they had accumulated. "Girl, how do you want to exchange?"
Chu Xue didn't beat around the bush: "Uncle Dewang, I brought some rare items with me. I believe you won't let me suffer any loss."
As he spoke, he opened the bag slightly, revealing the brown sugar inside. "Inside is not only brown sugar, a flashlight, batteries, soap, and cigarettes, but also a few pieces of cloth and a few pounds of flour and millet. Of course, if you don't need these things, I can pay for them."
Now not only the team leader, but also Uncle Jiao and Grandpa Afu, who were going to be busy next, were also nervous, because these were all good stuff.
Uncle Jiao asked excitedly, "Chuxue, do you have millet and flour?"
Chuxue nodded: "Yes, I brought some, but not much."
She didn't say the specific amount, so you can cheat a little bit when the time comes.
Uncle Jiao rubbed his hands and said, "Chuxue, I have some dried seafood stored at home. Don't worry, the quality is guaranteed to satisfy you."
He originally wanted to wait for his son to come back and ask him to take him to the army to ask for favors, but of course he couldn't say this out loud.
