In fact, Ye Zhiqiu had always restrained himself from taking the village's livestock. However, the old village chief refused to lend his car and withheld his work points, clearly displeased with the Ye family and wanted to suppress and bully them.
But would Ye Zhiqiu indulge him? Although he wouldn't do anything to him, he had gone out last night and taken all the chickens, ducks, and pigs into the space. As for the two cows, since they were just a male and a female, and since he had already stolen so many things, he didn't care about having two more cows, so Ye Zhiqiu took them away.
As for horses, their meat was not tasty and they were not easy to sell, so he did not put them into the space.
After questioning and checking the surroundings, there was no trace of anyone, so the police had no choice but to go back. There is now a theory that the He family father and son colluded with others to steal the village's valuable poultry and livestock in retaliation for the villagers reporting the case to the police.
So now the villagers have some complaints about the Ye family, thinking that if the Ye family had not made a fuss about reporting to the police, this kind of thing would not have happened.
Ye Zhiqiu just told his family to stay home and not go out unless necessary, because they were moving tomorrow. Let them gossip about anything! As long as they didn't conflict with his family, who cared whether they lived or died in the future?
Today's task at home is to make the final preparations for the move, piling everything in the yard. When the car arrives tomorrow morning, we can move everything directly into the car.
There were really a lot of things, not only the furniture and beds had to be moved, but even the baskets had to be taken.
Ye Zhiqiu had no objection to this. No matter how tattered the things were, they were the property that Ye Tianya and Wang Xiaolan had worked hard for many years to get.
He wasn't rich enough to spend money recklessly, so the key was to become a purchasing agent, then take the fish and shrimp to the factory to exchange for money, or go to the pigeon market, or even the black market to sell things for money.
I steamed some buns made of two-grain flour, fried some vegetables I grew myself, killed a rabbit, and had a good dinner.
Ye Zhiqiu has told his younger brother and sister a lot of fun things in the city these days, which has caused them to go from being afraid of moving to a strange place to being eager to go into the city immediately.
Because Ye Zhiqiu promised them that for the first dinner in their new home, they would buy roast duck! There was nothing that couldn't be solved with a delicious meal, but if there was, it would definitely be the lack of meat!
At six o'clock the next morning, the voices of Ye Wubing and Ye Bailu were heard.
"Brother, get up, it's time to dismantle the bed!"
"Brother, get up and go to the city to eat roast duck..."
He yawned, grabbed his toothbrush, and left the room with his enamel cup. The small courtyard was cluttered with things, and Wang Xiaolan was heating up some dishes and steamed buns in the kitchen. She just had to wait until breakfast was finished and the pots and pans were put away.
After washing up, Ye Zhiqiu packed his daily necessities into a bucket and then started to dismantle his bed.
There wasn't much to dismantle, just the mosquito net. The bed was just two benches, a few long, flat logs, and two bed boards on top.
The beds in rural areas at this time were basically like this. But no one was willing to spend a lot of money to buy a bed with a headboard.
In other words, there is no shortage of firewood in Kaoshantun, otherwise heating in winter would be a problem because people here don’t have kangs!
After dismantling the bed, Ye Zhiqiu looked at the empty room and smiled. It was time to say goodbye to this little nest where he had spent more than two years!
After washing their hands, the family sat on stools and ate breakfast in the yard.
Wang Xiaolan asked, "Boss, can I grow some vegetables in the yard of our new home?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Why not? But most yards are paved with tiles, so you can't plant directly there. I'll bring you a bunch of big flower pots when the time comes, and you can plant in them!"
Wang Xiaolan said happily, "That's good, that's good. It would be great if I could grow something! If I don't do anything and just sit around at home, I'm afraid I'll get moldy!"
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm just taking a break. When the right opportunity comes, I'll find a job for you!"
Ye Wubing also said excitedly: "Brother, please find me a job too! I will also go to earn money to support the family!"
Ye Tianya slapped his head and scolded him with a smile, "You little brat, you're only thirteen years old, who would dare to hire you to work? Unless you become someone's apprentice and learn a skill to make a living.
Otherwise, you can only go to school. Even if you finish junior high school, you will have a better chance of finding a job! Don’t think your eldest brother has it easy. That’s because he graduated from junior high school. Otherwise, how could it be so easy to recruit him?
Ye Tianya was right about this, it was like this these days. Junior high school graduation was the basic requirement, because now in the city, junior high school graduates were lining up for job recruitment.
If we recruit rural people into the factory without having graduated from junior high school and without having made any contribution, instead of recruiting the relatives of the employees, that would cause public outrage.
Ultimately, it’s because there are few jobs but many unemployed young people!
After finishing his meal, Ye Zhiqiu lit a cigarette and walked out of the village. When the car arrived, he had to direct it to come here.
They can’t reach the door, but they can carry things so they don’t have to walk so far.
Many people knew that the Ye family was moving today, but it was impossible for them to not go to work and come to help move. Ye Zhiqiu didn't need this, and he would not accept such kindness! This would make Ye Zhiqiu, who had just collected things from the village, feel embarrassed.
"Xiao Zhiqiu, come back and play when you have time after you go into the city!"
"Uncle, what's wrong? Are you going to take care of my food when I come back? You eat in the cafeteria, but I can't eat in the cafeteria when I come back!"
"Come back and have a look. Do you think I'll deny you a meal or two?"
"Oh, that's hard to say. We haven't even left yet! Aren't we being denied food anyway? Don't be polite, I'm glad the villagers are so heartless! From now on, if anyone in the village needs help from my Ye family, they'll just say, 'No way!'"
Ye Zhiqiu had been waiting for the car, but this old man insisted on coming up to chat. What was there to talk about? Ever since the work points were calculated and the 282 kilograms of grain were distributed, the Ye family could no longer go to the cafeteria to get food.
Just like what Ye Zhiqiu said, it was indeed his idea! In the future, the big pot meals will be gone, and there will be no food. People in the countryside who are short of food will try every possible way to seek help from relatives in the city.
If someone finds the Ye family by then, and if the Ye family leaves amicably, would you have the nerve not to lend a hand?
But now that the old village chief is making trouble, the villagers don't refute it. If there is something wrong, they can find their own Ye family, then they have something to say! In general, Ye Zhiqiu thinks this matter is quite appropriate!
When the old man heard Ye Zhiqiu say this, his face turned dark and he left angrily.
And at this time the car arrived!
Ye Zhiqiu waved at the car that was coming in. Soon the car pulled over and stopped. The driver leaned over and asked, "Is this Comrade Ye Zhiqiu?"
Ye Zhiqiu quickly replied, "Hello, comrade. I'm Ye Zhiqiu. Excuse me, are you sent by Director Chen to help me move the furniture?"
"Yeah, where is your home? I'll drive over so it's easier to load the things into the car."
"Comrade, please drive with me. It's just around the corner."
