Chapter 1130 See if I can catch your eye
Changing residence is also changing, not to mention that it was the Jiao family who made it convenient for her: "Okay, then keep it for uncle first, and then change it out when there is something left."
Ah Fu also spoke up, "Young lady, how do you replace the batteries in your flashlight? My family has always wanted to buy one, but they need industrial coupons."
He looked embarrassed as he said this. He often sailed out of the village, and sometimes he would be delayed and couldn't return to the village until dark. It would be safer to have a flashlight with him, but he never did.
Hearing that Chuxue brought a flashlight, how could he not be excited?
Now I am thinking that the dried seafood at home may not be enough to exchange for the money, so I am thinking of going to see my brothers later. If it doesn’t work, I will pay them back.
Chuxue knew that Grandpa Fu was old now and no longer participated in the fishing operations. However, the boat he was driving today was the property of the village. He was responsible for transporting villagers on their trips, and the village gave him work points. "Okay, then I'll leave one for you, and a pair of dry-cell batteries."
Ah Fu's face was full of smiles. "Young lady, I'm afraid that the dry goods at home are not enough to replace the flashlight. If I can't gather enough later, I can use money to make up for the rest. Is that okay with you?"
It was such a good thing that the villagers would definitely want to exchange it for dried seafood. He was not sure whether his brothers could give him enough seafood.
Chu Xue smiled and nodded: "If someone else specifies it, then I can't do it. After all, I'm here to exchange for seafood, but you, Master Fu, are an exception."
Now Ah Fu felt relieved: "That's good, that's good."
Most of the villagers knew that Grandpa Afu wanted to buy a flashlight, but the team leader also wanted to replace it. There was already a flashlight at home, and it was the only electrical appliance in the house. He guarded it like the apple of his eye, and even his little grandson was not allowed to use it.
But last time, during a rainstorm, he went out to check the situation and fell, and as a result, his flashlight also fell into the water. Even though he rushed home to wipe it with a dry cloth as soon as he found it, the flashlight still didn't work. Not only did the switch become stuck and unresponsive, but the light flickered and the contact was unstable. "Little girl, how many flashlights do you have?"
When Chu Xue heard this, she looked at the captain's eager eyes and asked, "Do you want to change your flashlight too?"
The captain nodded heavily: "Yes."
Chu Xue laughed: "That's perfect, I just happened to have two of them coming over here."
The captain slapped his thigh, his joy evident in his expression: "That would be great."
Everyone has their own relatives and friends. Chu Xue only had a backpack with her, and there were only a few good things in it. The captain naturally wanted to take care of his own people. "Um, what's your name?"
Chuxue smiled and said, "Uncle Dewang, my name is Chuxue."
The chief clerk coughed lightly and said, "Chuxue, this is not the place to talk. Since you have come to our Jiaotang East Village, we will definitely not let you suffer any loss. So, since you are related to the daughter-in-law of the Jiao family, why don't you stay at the Jiao family first? We will find someone to ask interested villagers to bring their own seafood over. Do you think this is okay?"
Chu Xue glanced at Uncle Jiao and saw him nod: "Okay, then just do as the captain says."
As soon as Chuxue entered the Jiao family, the captain's wife and Afu's daughter-in-law came over with the dried seafood at home.
The captain's wife looked at Chuxue with joy and said, "Girl, I'm from the captain's family. Here are some dried yellow croaker, dragonhead croaker, and other fish that we dried ourselves. We also have some dried shrimp, dried shrimp, cuttlefish, kelp, and seaweed. Do you think they're to your liking?"
