Chapter 450: Ants kill elephants
"Who to call?"
Old Li yelled at the top of his lungs, and Wen Shi said without even turning his head, "Find someone to help buy a ticket home for my wife."
Before he finished speaking, the person had already gone away.
Lao Lei watched his receding figure and whispered, "Believe it or not, he must have used his connections to buy a sleeper berth for his wife again."
"Lao Wen's wife knows how to make money."
Old Li's words left everyone speechless.
Yes, Lao Wen’s wife is good at making money. Even if Lao Wen is not around, his life would not be bad with his wife’s ability to make money.
"It's time to work."
Comparing people will make you die, comparing goods will make you throw them away.
Apart from being older than Wen Shi, they cannot compare with him in any other way.
Instead of letting him catch up, they might as well make more efforts and push forward.
At least I have to get closer to him and not let him leave me far behind.
With this idea in mind, Lao Li and his colleagues became more excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They trained harder and worked even harder.
The main theme is that everything is for progress.
In addition, they also help their wives make progress together.
If the daughter-in-law refuses, use Yi Chichi as an example.
Then, the victim came to the door.
"Chi Chi, can we discuss something?"
Yi Chichi put down her needlework, smiled and greeted Ji Jian and the others who came together, then asked, "What's the matter?"
"Can you be more outstanding?"
The person who was speaking was Yang Qing. Although she was praising excellence, her words were actually full of resentment.
Yi Chichi widened his eyes in surprise, "I don't quite understand!"
"Your Wen Shi went to show off to Old Li and the others that you can loosen bones, which made Old Li and the others extremely envious. Then, inspired by this, they started working hard to improve themselves..."
At this point, Ji Jian was a bit confused and said, "It's said that working hard to improve yourself is a good thing, but they also require us to work hard to improve ourselves as well, and they always use you to stimulate us."
Yi Chichi, “!!!”
My goodness, this is a typical case of her getting into trouble.
What do you call this? This is what happens when you sit at home and the pot falls from the sky.
"...Then what do you want me to do?"
"Let your Lao Wen have a talk with them. You know what's going on when it's necessary."
Yang Qing clenched his fist and waved it, winking at her.
Yi Chichi understood immediately that this meant that Wen Shi should talk first, and if they couldn't reach an agreement, they could then have another discussion on brotherhood.
Seeing that Sister Lei and the others all agreed and no one objected, she twitched her lips and asked, "Are you sure they're willing to fight one-on-one when we spar?"
The fear is that Lao Li and the others will be provoked and lose their moral integrity and fight against Wen Shi in a group.
As the saying goes, a swarm of ants can kill an elephant.
Wen Shi is not an elephant, and Lao Li and the others are not ants.
But they have received similar training and know the same moves. In a one-on-one fight, Wen Shi's physical strength can definitely win, and he can also win in a two-on-one fight.
It's hard to win with three against one, but there's hope for a narrow victory.
If it's a group fight...
Then you will only get beaten.
"uncertain!"
Ji Jian replied confidently, "You should let your husband, Lao Wen, go talk to them himself."
Yang Qing and the others nodded in agreement.
Yi Chi Chi was very convinced by this. "No, your man has done something wrong, so why should my old Wen bear the painful consequences of being beaten up by a group of people? As for them using me as an example, you guys just have to bear with it for now. I'm going back to my hometown the day after tomorrow morning."
Now that she has returned to her hometown, it is not appropriate for Lao Li and the others to use her as an example.
Even if you want to fleece a sheep, you can't just catch it and fleece it.
Ji Jian and the others' attention was all drawn to the news that she was leaving.
Suddenly I became anxious.
"It hasn't been long since we've been here, why are you going back so soon?"
This is a typical lie. She has been here for quite some time, almost three months.
"If we don't go back now, the road will be blocked by snow and we won't be able to go back."
"Have you bought your tickets?"
"I've bought it. Brother Wen Shi helped me buy it."
As usual, pick up the ticket when you arrive in Guangzhou.
I also have to go to the Friendship Store.
I don’t know how Master Tang and his team’s work is going.
You can go and have a look when the time comes.
"Have you prepared everything?"
"I'm ready."
It’s not a lot of stuff, just grab it and go.
"The gifts for the guests are not ready yet."
Apart from dried seafood, dried fruits are the only souvenirs that can be given as gifts on the island.
The distance is too far, and there is no way to take the fresh ones away.
"Come on, I'll take you for a walk around the neighborhood."
Ji Jian stood up first and extended a sincere invitation to her.
Yang Qing and the others also wanted to go, but they had to go to work and didn't have time.
So I could only get up and say goodbye.
After sending everyone away, Yi Chichi returned to his room, pocketed the money and tickets, and went next door to find Ji Jian. He noticed a sieve on her table filled with dried large prawns, clams, and the like, and wondered, "Sister-in-law, you have a lot of dried seafood at home. Why do you need to exchange it?"
Ji Jian was fixing her hair when she heard the voice and said calmly, "It's enough for the whole family to eat, but it won't be enough to send back."
She suddenly realized, "How long has it been since you sent anything home?"
Ji Jian took the backpack and slung it over his shoulders, then pulled her out.
"I was a bit short on money before and didn't have time to take care of it. It just so happens that you need a large quantity this time, so I'll borrow your quantity and pick out some good quality items to send back."
This is possible.
Are fishermen poor?
poverty.
The islands have limited arable land, which also leads to the limited arable land in each production team. Although they are called farmers, they actually mainly go out to sea to fish.
It's half farming and half fishing.
The fishermen's catch after going out to sea was distributed and sold by the production team. The good quality ones were sold, and the lower quality ones were kept and then distributed to households.
However, not every harvest from going out to sea can be sold quickly. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough to catch too much good stuff, you will have to sell half and keep the other half.
The remaining half can be handled by yourself.
People on the island have no shortage of seafood to eat. If you want to eat it, just be diligent and go to the sea during low tide.
It's just that the varieties are slightly different.
Therefore, these seafoods are either eaten by themselves or sold on the black market at risk.
But that was in the past. Since the number of military dependents began to grow and the number of educated youth coming to the islands also began to increase, the seafood in the hands of the villagers found a way to go.
Yi Chichi is the most popular one among them.
Because she always buys in huge quantities, in order to keep her as a big customer, her fellow villagers are willing to empty their boxes and give her all the good stuff.
This time was no exception. When she and Ji Jian appeared under the big locust tree in Guangming Production Brigade, the eyes of the children such as Niwa who were guarding the mats piled with dried lychees suddenly lit up.
The beautiful sister who is rich and willing to spend money is here again.
"Sister Yi, you're here to exchange seafood again!"
The clay doll, exuding a sense of cleverness, came running over with his two thin, black legs that looked like bamboo poles, and spoke Mandarin with a slight accent.
Yi Chichi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Niwa, you speak Mandarin really well now."
"I listened to my mom and dad and studied hard."
The clay doll puffed out his thin chest proudly and said happily, "The teacher even praised me and gave me some White Rabbit candy as a reward."
