Ye Zhiqiu did not go home directly, but on the way, he divided the money into three parts: one part was given to Sanyuanli Village, and the amount of 2,040.5 yuan was deposited into the public account.
The rest was divided into two parts, each worth 291.5 yuan. One part was to be secretly given to Yang Gui and his friends, and the other part was for himself. He had to pay an extra 17.5 yuan for the shrimp.
Back at Sanlitun Commune, Ye Zhiqiu first went to pay the Sanyuanli public account. Since lunch had just ended, there were a lot of people gathered around, and those counting the money were very excited.
The money was distributed per head, and the entire population of Sanyuanli Village was nearly 600 people. In fact, the money from selling fish alone wouldn't be much if it went to each household.
But this kind of extra money, no matter how little, makes people happy!
After confirming the amount, Accountant Zhao shook hands with Ye Zhiqiu very formally. He smiled and said, "There's no problem with the amount of money for the fish and shrimp! Thank you very much, Purchaser Ye, for helping us get rid of these fish this time! Otherwise, in this weather, I don't know how long it would take to sell all the fish. If the fish rots by then, the loss will be huge!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu was very understanding. He said sincerely, "Accountant Zhao, you're too polite. I'm from Sanlitun too! We're all family from now on. If there's anything the village needs, I'll definitely help! Besides, we're all serving the people!"
"Okay, Purchaser Ye is right, we are all serving the people!"
"Well said, we'll all be family from now on!"
Ye Zhiqiu said a few polite words and then proposed to buy twenty sacks from here. The other party agreed immediately and charged 15 cents per sack.
He counted out three more dollars on the spot, gave Ye Zhiqiu a wink as he paid, and then went home with the twenty sacks.
When he was about to return to the Taoist temple gate, he saw that there was no one around, so he put the sack into the space. He also got a large grass carp weighing nearly 7 or 8 kilograms from the fish pond in the space and put it in the basket.
When Ye Zhiqiu returned home, his stomach was growling with hunger. After parking his bicycle, he asked Wang Xiaolan, "Mom, is there any food left? I've been so busy that I haven't had any food yet!"
Oh, right, go take care of the big grass carp in the basket and cook it for dinner tonight. Why don't I see Aunt Liu? Has she gone home?"
Wang Xiaolan stood up, grabbed the big grass carp in surprise and said, "Wow! This fish is really big! Your Aunt Liu promised to help me grind tofu this afternoon and said she would bring some tofu back in the evening."
There's porridge and a steamed bun on the table, and some vegetables too. Do you want me to heat them up for you?"
"You can only eat cold food in this weather. I'll go eat first."
When I walked into the living room, Qian Xiaofang was teaching Ye Bailu to read. She was very patient and not as impatient as Ye Wubing.
"Brother Ye is back!"
"Brother, my sister is teaching me to read!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Okay, you guys continue. Big brother hasn't had lunch yet, so I'll eat something to fill my stomach first."
After two bowls of corn porridge, I finally stopped feeling weak. This is what happens when you eat porridge, you feel weak in the hands and feet when you are hungry.
Ye Zhiqiu thought about the cornmeal at home and thought, fortunately, there wasn't too much. The family was almost finished. Then he could steam buns with two-grain flour or even rice porridge.
After finishing his meal, Ye Zhiqiu lit a cigarette for himself. Only then did he ask, "Little sister, why is Xiao Hei missing?"
"It went out with the second and third brothers!"
Qian Xiaofang added, "Big brother, second brother said that Xiao Hei was affecting my studies, so he put a leash on him and took him out."
Ye Zhiqiu was a little amused, probably because he saw Qian Xiaofang's patience in teaching Ye Bailu. So Ye Wubing took Xiao Hei, who was distracting Ye Bailu, away directly!
The second son, this naughty boy, has a lot of clever tricks. He also has a lot of big cleverness, but he doesn't have many serious moments!
After finishing his cigarette, Ye Zhiqiu returned to his room. He put his thoughts into the space, and used his mind to control the fish in the pond to float out of the water, and put the suitable fish into the sack.
Fifteen sacks filled with fish were immediately set afloat, and bubbles soon appeared. With a thought, Ye Zhiqiu's oxygen disappeared, and the fish in the sacks quickly became motionless.
He didn't know the exact number of fish in the fifteen sacks, so it all depended on the conscience of He Yongjun and the others.
However, after getting to know them, I realized that these two cadres' children might have some arrogance, but they were not difficult to get along with! After Ye Zhiqiu got to know them, he did not talk to them in a condescending manner just because he was a time traveler and there was a space.
On the contrary, they get along very harmoniously and no one looks down on anyone else.
"Boss, are you asleep? If not, come out and help mom with the bamboo."
The cheap old woman's voice rang out, but it wasn't particularly loud. Perhaps she didn't mean to wake anyone up, but just spoke at a normal volume, thinking that if they weren't asleep, she would call out for help. If Ye Zhiqiu was asleep, this volume wouldn't wake him up!
He walked out and asked jokingly, "What's going on? Mom, you made such a small noise that I almost thought it was a mosquito buzzing!"
Wang Xiaolan replied angrily, "Mom, I was afraid you might have fallen asleep, so I woke you up. Why did you come out and make fun of me?"
"Hey, no way! You're wrongly accusing me. I'm not making fun of you!"
"Then could I ask my son to put that smile off his face?"
"Nonsense, I'm not laughing, I just have a cramp!"
"Mom thinks you're just itching for trouble!"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Wang Xiaolan holding the bamboo and asked angrily, "Alright, alright, I'm already old, and you're still using the cane system to educate me! Just tell me what you want me to do for you!"
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu knew very well that Wang Xiaolan would not do anything, no matter how angry she was, because he had grown up!
Even if Ye Tianya had something to do, even if he had made up his mind, he would discuss it with him. Of course, whether he would listen to Ye Zhiqiu's opinion or not was hard to say!
It turned out that the bamboo was too long, so I needed help to lift it from the back and help split it! It was not easy for one person to do it, because I had to lift the bamboo and use the back of the hatchet to knock down the bamboo stick.
I don’t know how my cheap mother and Aunt Liu dragged the bamboo back. They must have suffered a lot.
But this is how the times are. What Ye Zhiqiu considers to be a hardship is commonplace in their eyes. It's not that they like to endure hardships, but living in this era, they have to endure hardships!
When a person is used to hardship, nothing seems to be able to stump them! Just like Wang Xiaolan, after breaking the bamboo, she skillfully began to split the bamboo strips.
In fact, it is to split the bamboo into two parts, and then divide a piece of bamboo into two parts, which becomes the so-called bamboo strips. The outer layer can now be woven into various shapes, and the inner layer needs to be processed because the toughness of this part is not as good as that of the outer layer.
