Wake up Aqing and cover the carriage with a plastic sheet.
Wu Ping opened the door.
It was still windy and rainy outside, but it had subsided considerably, and people could walk around, so riding a bike would definitely be no problem.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you should go home."
"I'll go straight home after I sell the goods."
"We'll settle the score later."
Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin nodded.
After the motorcycle drove away, the two tidied up the old house and washed the floor thoroughly with water. Otherwise, the stench would be so bad that flies and insects would be everywhere in less than a day.
After finishing their work, the two closed the door and headed home.
Mei Yueqin muttered, "I wonder how much it can sell for."
Wu Ping said with a smile, "Maybe I can earn more than my monthly salary by working this late into the night."
Mei Yueqin thought for a moment and said, "If Erzi gives you too much, you can't accept it."
“I heard from Aqing that he only gets 10%.”
"You'll get the money according to this."
Wu Ping nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"Even close brothers should keep clear accounts."
"Actually, this is what I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that if I asked for too little, you wouldn't be happy."
Mei Yueqin rolled her eyes and said, "Virtue."
Wu Ping was so happy he grinned foolishly.
He married a virtuous wife; he truly has such a wonderful wife in his life, what more could a husband ask for?
He and Wu Yingping could devote most of their energy to their work because Mei Yueqin took care of things at home, making selfless and uncomplaining sacrifices.
Otherwise, if the family is in chaos, how can they have time to focus on their work?
There used to be another troublesome guy named Wu An.
Now Wu An has become the "pillar" of the family, and Wu Ping feels that life is really good now.
actually.
Even if Wu An doesn't give them money, they won't say anything. Wu Yingwei doesn't care about anything, and Mei Yueqin will definitely handle all of Wu An's major future affairs.
Building a new house, buying a car, getting married—each and every one of these things is not only time-consuming and laborious but also expensive. If Wu An has more money in his hands, then they will naturally receive less.
In short, since Wu An is not married yet, they are already family.
It will be more appropriate to say "even close brothers should keep clear accounts" after Wu An settles down and starts a family.
Back home.
Mei Yueqin yawned and went to sleep.
She hadn't slept since midnight and had been on guard since morning, so she hadn't slept for more than ten hours. Although she wasn't that tired, she was still very sleepy.
Wu Ping looked around his house. The typhoon had passed, and they hadn't suffered any major damage. The typhoon wasn't particularly big or small, and for them, it was nothing special.
I'm used to it.
He lay down beside her, put his arm around Mei Yueqin, and said, "Do you think... we should have a child?"
Mei Yueqin said, "Is it something you can just ask for?"
Wu Ping: "..."
They didn't cherish their youth, and now that they're both older, they can't have children. Naturally, people in the village are gossiping about them.
Wu Ping gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the county to get checked out when I have some free time." He had been putting it off.
Mei Yueqin turned over and asked in surprise, "Really?"
Wu Ping nodded.
This is a difficult decision for a man.
Mei Yueqin sat up: "Why don't we try again?"
Wu Ping grinned.
...
Wu An rode his motorcycle tricycle out of the old house and had to cross half the village to reach the main road. He tried his best to avoid the side roads where there might be more people, but he still inevitably encountered many villagers going to the beach.
It's still windy and rainy at this time, and the waves at the beach must be quite big.
But the villagers' desire to make money was irresistible.
As is well known, seafood prices surge after a typhoon passes by, as compensation from the ocean for the damage caused by the typhoon.
"Ah An, what are you going to do riding that bike?"
"It's covered with a plastic sheet, what's it hiding?"
"You're trying quite hard to hide it. Tell me, what is it?"
"You two are going to town at this hour? Aren't you going to go beachcombing?"
"I heard that you can use a dip net to catch oysters on the beach, and if you go too late, they'll be gone."
Everyone chimed in with their own words.
Wu An smiled and said, "Let's go to town and sell some grain."
"Stop touching me."
"If the grain gets wet in this wind and rain, will you compensate us?"
"The waves at the beach are quite high, everyone please be careful. I won't go and join the fun."
"Let's go."
He didn't dare to delay, floored the accelerator, and sped through the villagers.
The villagers didn't think much of it.
"Selling grain? Is this another case of going astray?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
"Exactly, there's definitely something fishy going on about selling grain at this time."
"Let's go, let's go. It's best if these two don't go to the beach. They're so lucky; they've picked up all the good stuff."
They never imagined that the whole truck was full of blue crabs.
Sitting in the car, Aqing looked back at the villagers walking towards the sea and said, "Brother, let's go beachcombing after we sell our goods and come back."
Wu An narrowed his eyes: "Don't rush, we'll go after we sell the goods."
Luck rating: 88 (66)
System, you can be much bolder.
He had a feeling that today's harvest would be even greater than yesterday's.
Was it a truckload of blue crabs yesterday?
What will today be?
What exactly did this typhoon bring as it passed through?
He was quite curious.
But there's no rush. The wind and waves are strong right now, so the villagers don't dare get too close. They can only stay near the beach, and there's nothing good there.
We had to go to the reefs and mudflats.
The reef side is too dangerous, and the mudflat side is definitely difficult to traverse. Most villagers won't go there, and it doesn't matter if a few do.
In such a large area, and with no one else hanging around, the harvest will be very limited.
It's not too late to go back after we've sold the goods.
He told Aqing not to worry, but he was also telling himself.
We arrived at the Mazu Temple.
Wu An saw a truck parked on the side of the road from afar. A Qing called out to him, and he nodded and sped over on his motorcycle tricycle.
Before they even stopped, the truck's passenger door opened, and Ah Jin walked over, holding an umbrella between his head and a stick, and offered cigarettes to the truck.
The two of them took it.
Ah Jin pointed to the Mazu Temple and said, "Brother An, my boss is offering incense at the temple."
"How about I go find him?"
Wu An nodded: "No rush, let's wait a bit."
You must not disturb people who are worshipping gods.
After waiting for ten minutes, Gao Qiangqi finally came out of the temple. No one knew what he had talked about with Mazu, but they were able to chat for so long.
Seeing that Wu An had arrived, Gao Qiangqi ran up and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Wu An smiled and said, "I just arrived too."
"Let's take a look at the goods first."
Gao Qiangqi pulled open the plastic sheet, took down a snakeskin bag, opened it, took out a blue crab, and said happily, "What a fat blue crab!"
"Ah An, you've really helped me a lot. I just got in touch with a few suppliers, and we're currently short of stock."
"Ah Jin, what are you standing there for? Open the truck door."
Ah Jin ran to open the door.
The truck doors opened, revealing two ordinary laborers inside. They nodded to each other in greeting. The trucks had enclosed compartments that could block out the wind and rain. The group stood inside smoking, watching the laborers transfer the crabs into boxes.
Upon seeing this, Gao Qiangqi exclaimed, "Huh, it's all sorted?"
Wu An nodded: "Since I had nothing better to do, I did a simple sorting and divided them into male and female, as well as two sizes."
"Have someone sort them more carefully."
Gao Qiangqi waved his hand: "No need to go through all that trouble, brother, I trust you."
"I don't see any that are small either."
"150 yuan per jin for 1 to 2 jin, 180 yuan per jin for more than 2 jin".
"Male crabs are about 20 yuan cheaper per pound than female crabs."
"No butter crab?"
Wu An shook his head.
Gao Qiangqi didn't say much and quickly transferred the crabs from the snakeskin bag to the box. These helpers were all experienced and found that some of the crabs were dead. There weren't many, but there were about ten of them.
According to the price Gao Qiangqi gave, it would cost around a thousand yuan.
A group of workers whispered to Gao Qiangqi, who didn't say anything, but told him to put the items in a box and weigh them together to calculate the payment.
