By around one o'clock in the afternoon, the crayfish were almost sold out.
Chen Dazhuang stayed to guard the stall, while Chen Wang took the little girl away from the farmers' market and came to the department store.
First, I picked out a schoolbag, which cost me 15 yuan, and then I bought pencils, erasers, notebooks, pencil cases, etc., and bought a complete set for the little girl.
All the things were put into the schoolbag and Chen Wang carried it on her back.
"That's it, is there anything else you need?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
"No more."
The little girl smiled sweetly and took his hand.
"Is there anything else you want to buy, snacks?"
“No, no, no.”
"Huh? The sun rises from the west today?"
Chen Wang looked at the little girl in surprise.
"Brother, I have to go to school. I'm not a child anymore, and there's food at home!"
The little girl said with a smile.
In fact, the main reason is that my family has enough food and clothing now, and I have enough snacks, so I am not as greedy as before.
"Really not buying it?"
"Well, let's go! Let's go back."
The little girl took him by the hand and walked towards the store entrance.
When we returned to the farmers' market, we saw Uncle Zhao and Chen Dazhuang had already packed up their things and were waiting on the tractor.
Chen Wang first carried the little girl up and then climbed into the car himself.
"Uncle Zhao, you can go now."
"Okay!"
Uncle Zhao responded, went down and started the tractor with the joystick.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, you bought such a beautiful schoolbag!"
Chen Dazhuang looked at the schoolbag the little girl was carrying and joked with a smile.
"Hehe... doesn't it look good? My brother bought it for me."
The little girl smiled happily and pretended to take off her schoolbag.
Chen Wang helped her take off her schoolbag and let her sit on the stool holding it.
There are three bamboo stools on the back seat of the tractor, which can be used for sitting when setting up the stall.
Almost every household in the village has this kind of stool, which is made by experienced craftsmen in the village. It is cheap and easy to use.
After Chen Wang sat down, the tractor started moving.
"Awang, here you go."
Chen Dazhuang handed the money he had just earned from selling lobsters to Chen Wang.
Chen Wang reached out to take it, then took out the money from the canvas bag and counted it.
Today's income is only 965.6 yuan.
There is no other way. Now we can only sell four to five hundred kilograms every day, and the price has dropped to 2 yuan per kilogram.
He gave 20 yuan to Uncle Zhao first, and then gave 20% to Chen Dazhuang.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Wang no longer cooperates with Lao Lu to sell fish.
Lao Lu’s youngest son came back last month, bought a bicycle, and took over Lao Lu’s job of selling fish.
For this, Lao Lu felt very guilty and bought some wine and gifts to apologize.
Chen Wang also expressed his understanding. For him, the profit from selling fish was not much, and it was also very troublesome to bring the fish to the city. He was worried that the fish would die on the way.
Compared to that little profit, it's not worth the effort.
Besides, since they were father and son, Chen Wang let go without hesitation.
"Awang, there are fewer and fewer lobsters now. What should we do?"
Chen Dazhuang asked with some concern.
Their acquisition scope has long expanded to several nearby villages, and in each village there are people like Yan Yulan's father and brother who help with the acquisition.
Chen Wang bought the shrimps from them for 20 cents, and his only requirement was that the quality was good and that the small and dead shrimps had to be picked out.
It's due to the season, overfishing by villagers, and other competitors buying crayfish.
Recently, the amount of lobsters they purchased has not exceeded 500 kilograms, and is gradually decreasing.
"This is inevitable. We can only do this for half a month at most. Then we will stop doing this and go back to the mountains to hunt!"
Chen Wang said calmly.
It’s actually very tiring to commute to the city every day.
Crayfish will soon be out of season and profits will become lower and lower, so it is better to return to the old business.
In autumn, animals in the mountains grow fatter and become more active, making it the best season for hunting.
"That's what I meant."
Chen Dazhuang smiled and nodded.
The income from selling crayfish is high and stable, but for him, hunting is more interesting and less tiring.
…
…
The mother-in-law left lunch for them.
The brother and sister each held an aluminum lunch box and sat on the stone bench in the yard to enjoy their meal.
Three dogs squatted at their feet, lolling their tongues and wagging their tails.
Two months later, Ruyi's body size had grown almost as big as Dahu, and Dahu and Dahei also looked stronger.
The little monkey was sitting on the stone table, eating a banana in his hand.
Lin Xiuqin held her waist with one hand and placed the other on her bulging belly, watching the brother and sister eat with a smile on her face.
The mother-in-law stood beside him holding the little fox, and said with a smile on her face, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Um!"
The little girl responded, picked up the soda bottle on the stone table, raised her head and took a few sips, and praised with a sweet smile: "Auntie, the meat you stewed is so fragrant and delicious!"
"Just eat it if you like it. I'll make it next time."
The mother-in-law said with a smile.
"Mom, I'm glad you're here. I can have such delicious food when I come back."
Chen Wang also said with a smile.
When Wang Chunmei heard this, a smile immediately broke out on her face.
Half a month ago, her eldest son, Chen Wang’s brother-in-law, came to visit.
They brought a lot of gifts to thank Chen Wang for teaching them how to make money.
Wang Chunmei also learned from her son that the family earned ten thousand yuan by selling crayfish in the town in just over a month.
That's a millionaire who can be reported in the newspapers!
Wang Chunmei was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time. After that day, she took better care of her family, found ways to make the dishes more delicious, and treated her son-in-law Chen Wang like a gold nugget.
"Wife, are you feeling unwell today?"
Chen Wang threw a bone to the three dogs, looked at Lin Xiuqin and asked.
Lin Xiuqin smiled gently and shook her head.
"Now is a critical moment. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. Don't endure it."
Chen Wang warned in a serious tone.
He is a man and cannot empathize with his wife, but when he sees that his wife has to stand up and walk around after sitting for a while, he can realize how tiring it is to carry such a big belly.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded.
"Awang, don't worry, I'm watching you!"
The mother-in-law said with a smile on her face.
Chen Wang nodded, said nothing more, and continued to eat his food.
After eating and drinking, Chen Wang and his wife went back to their room to take a nap.
Chen Wang never had the experience of being a father in his previous life, but most of his friends are married and have children. When they drink together, he hears them either showing off or complaining a lot.
For example, how difficult it is to serve women at this time, how tiring it is to take care of children, etc.
Maybe because his wife is considerate enough, Chen Wang currently does not feel how difficult it is. Instead, he feels more sorry for his wife and tries to give her more company.
