Chapter 27
Back at the second uncle's house, Ye Huai'an saw the second uncle who had just jumped off the tractor, and Ye Huai'an hurried forward to say hello.

Seeing Feng Duchenchen's father, Xiao Jianke guessed that the other party must have not eaten yet, so he hurried to the kitchen to work, and Dazhi also went to help light the fire.

The two of them entered the house, and while they were warming up, Ye Huai'an told his second uncle about his arrangements for the day, and asked him about the situation on the way.

Zhang Lijun's spirit was obviously not good, maybe because he was too tired all the way, his eyes were a little red.

Zhang Lijun was obviously taken aback when he heard that his nephew expected to buy [-] catties of navel oranges, but he quickly accepted Ye Huai'an's arrangement.

Zhang Lijun tried his best to keep rubbing his hands against the stove, lowered his head and listened to Ye Huai'an's arrangement, only occasionally answering a sentence.

Ye Huai'an always felt that my uncle was a little distracted today, and his expression was a little unnatural.

It stands to reason that the acquisition of [-] catties of navel oranges this time is a big enough deal for him, and it is not an exaggeration to change the fate of his life. Why does my uncle seem to be absent-minded?
Ye Huai'an didn't think too much about it, as long as my uncle can do the next thing well according to his arrangement, for him, this deal is enough to change his current situation, so this deal can only be successful, Never fail!
The uncle ate a large bowl of noodles in a hurry, and his messy mood finally returned to his body. He sorted out his thoughts, got up and went out.

Just now Ye Huai'an talked to him about the next arrangement. Tomorrow is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and he will have it on the 27th. In these two days, the transaction must be completed, so time is money.

If everything goes well, we will set off tomorrow afternoon, arrive in the city at night, and the deal will be completed in the morning after tomorrow. Ye Huai'an is going to bet on the weather for these two days. If he loses the bet and the mountains are covered by heavy snow, the deal will be completely over!
Compared with Ye Huai'an, Zhang Lijun actually hopes to reach this deal. As long as he can get through these few days and this week's busy work, there will be at least three or four thousand profits. Ye Huai'an told him earlier that this deal is [-]/[-].

If everything goes well, I can earn 2000 yuan, 2000 yuan is enough to make Zhang Lijun have beautiful fantasies about the future.

Money is a man's guts. Without this income, maybe the matter between himself and Xiao Chunlan would never have a result.

Therefore, he must earn this money, Zhang Lijun secretly made up his mind in his heart!
Since time is so tight, we must use all available time.

Zhang Lijun planned to take advantage of this evening to go to several nearby villages to settle the tractor business and make an appointment with the tractor master first.

In this era, rural transportation basically relies on tractors. Although driving tractors in this era, you can’t actually make a lot of money. In addition to gas money, you can only earn about ten yuan a day. It’s not like you have to work every day.

But compared to farmers in this era, even if they can earn ten or eight yuan a day, it is still the envy of many people.

So in the past few years, farmers in many nearby villages have tried their best to borrow money to buy tractors, about [-] tractors, if they work harder, it will only take two years. For many farmers, this is a very Not a bad job.

So it is not very difficult to find a tractor master these days. Almost all the larger villages have tractors. It is not surprising that several households in a village have bought tractors. They all run nearby and everyone knows them.

There are no mobile phones in this era, so I can only use a flashlight and go to someone's house to invite them.

Ye Huai'an didn't go with his uncle, he told his second uncle a few things to keep secret, and then simply washed up and went to sleep.

After a night without dreams, Ye Huai'an got up early the next morning with a yawn. Just after waking up, he found that his second uncle had already come out of the room, so he asked in surprise.

"Second uncle, you came back very late last night, didn't you?"

Zhang Lijun rubbed his cheeks and replied with a wry smile.

"Fortunately, everything is settled. I called three tractors and made an appointment with them. They will load in the morning and cook more rice at noon. After dinner, we will set off!"

When Ye Huai'an heard that it was done, he was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Looking at the tired eyes of his second uncle, Ye Huai'an didn't say much, if he wants to make money, this little tiredness is nothing at all.

Ye Huai'an walked out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief. The sky was still gray. He looked at the ground and frowned. There should have been a hailstorm last night. This kind of weather may turn into heavy snow at any time. Just ask God to save face!
Zhang Lijun also noticed that the weather was abnormal, so he didn't say much. The uncle and nephew had a simple breakfast, and then went to various households to pay and settle the bill.

Let the villagers tie up the weighed navel oranges and carry them outside the ancestral hall in the village.

Ye Huai'an was busy with work, so he saw his aunt standing in the crowd looking around from afar, her eyes were always looking towards Ye Huai'an.

When Ye Huai'an saw his aunt, he remembered what happened last night, and quickly pulled his second uncle aside, and told him about it.

When the second uncle heard that Ye Huai'an agreed to buy the navel oranges from the uncle's family, his expression obviously changed, and the embarrassment was hard to hide.

Rural people in this era, whether they are brothers or neighbors, have a bad relationship and have not spoken for decades.

In fact, many of the reasons between them are not deep hatred. In the eyes of later generations, they are just some trivial matters, or even conflicts over a few cents. In the final analysis, it is just to fight for breath.

This tone has not been released in many lifetimes, and the relationship between the two families has been cold for a lifetime, and there has been no communication.

But Ye Huai'an is no longer a child, business is business, he doesn't feel embarrassed at all.

The second uncle's facial expression was clearly tangled, but he finally nodded, agreeing to the matter.

Ye Huai'an didn't think much about it, so he walked into the crowd and talked to his aunt.

The eldest aunt was overjoyed when she heard the permission, and hurried back to greet her.

Soon, Ye Huai'an saw his aunt's family, young and old, carrying bags of navel oranges on their backs.

Ye Huai'an simply counted, a little surprised, this family brought thirteen bags of navel oranges, and after weighing them, they weighed 840 catties.

Ye Huai'an was also quite speechless, opened a few packages and took a look, they were ok, they were quite fresh, many of them still had leaves, and they were freshly picked yesterday. The meal was not in vain for them.

840 catties, three cents a catty, that is 25 yuan and twenty cents, in fact, this amount of money, in Ye Huai'an's view, is really not much.

But this 25 yuan is obviously a lot of money for rural people in this era.

After the eldest aunt took the money, she counted the money with foam at her mouth, and the smile on her face never stopped, which made Ye Huai'an turn around silently and go back to work.

They are still counting here, and someone from the next village has already come to urge them. They are afraid that Ye Huai'an's uncle and nephew will release their pigeons. Yesterday in their village, the whole village was dispatched. Now the navel oranges have already been packed according to Ye Huai'an's request.

After they were busy here, Ye Huai'an and Zhang Lijun went to Zhujia'ao in the next village without stopping. Sure enough, as soon as they entered the village, they saw hundreds of bags piled up in the open space of their village.

Seeing this mountain of navel oranges, Ye Huai'an wiped off his sweat. Judging by the quantity, it exceeded Ye Huai'an's expectation.

Ye Huai'an and Zhang Lijun looked at each other, and they both saw the tension in each other's eyes, and of course, there was a hint of joy.

If there are more, then there will be more. It is nothing more than loading more in each car. These are all money!

This back and forth was busy until after nine o'clock in the morning, and the three tractors that my uncle had ordered last night arrived one after another.

Everyone started to move the navel oranges onto the trucks, and the villagers were very happy to help out when they got the cash.

Ye Huai'an was calculating the total at the side, Zhu Jia'ao's navel oranges were indeed much more than Ye Huai'an imagined, Ye Huai'an was also a little surprised by this calculation!

130 ​​catties. Seeing this figure, Ye Huai'an frowned. My brother-in-law's village just did a calculation, and it was more than [-] catties. This time, the purchase has already exceeded [-] catties, which is indeed somewhat higher than Ye Huai'an's. Psychologically expected.

But after Zhang Lijun learned about this, he just smiled and said.

"It's okay, four tractors are enough. We go to pay the public food every year. It's not the same as three or four tons per truck. Let's do the math, it's only two tons per truck, not much!"

Although he got a reply from an old driver like his uncle, Ye Huai'an still felt a little uneasy in his heart, and secretly prayed in his heart that nothing would happen!
