Rebirth 1983

Chapter 37 Brothers, Don't Fight Against the Wall
Hearing his elder brother's voice suddenly, Chen Song quickly agreed, and handed the lobster in his hand to Daniel, asking him to weigh it on his behalf, while he walked towards his elder brother.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Chen Song looked at the big brother and glanced at the crayfish in groups, and frowned.

Chen Mo pulled Chen Song to the corner of the yard, a little further away from everyone.

"Third brother, I heard on the radio that you want to collect lobsters. This is not speculative." Chen Mo asked tentatively, but his eyes did not leave the ten-cent note in Wang Yao's hand.

"Brother, it's okay. We have reformed and opened up. You see that the land has been contracted to households for more than two years. How can there be any speculation? Besides, you go to the county to have a look. Now the streets are full of small stalls. I am not a young bird. Who will come and beat me?"

Chen Song knew that his elder brother was a conservative person, to put it nicely he was cautious, so he comforted him.

Hearing Chen Song's words, Chen Mo heaved a sigh of relief, but there was a trace of fiery excitement in his eyes. He was heartbroken and asked Chen Song, "Third brother, can you bring brother along for your lobster business? Let's just split the bill."

Chen Song listened to his brother's words and glanced at him. He had the impression that his brother would not make such a request to him. Perhaps it was his sister-in-law's attention. The elder brother was probably urged to come here.

Seeing that Chen Song didn't answer, Chen Mo was also a little embarrassed, a little embarrassed, and was about to say something: "Look at our family, not to mention the shabby walls, but we don't have any money left. Your nephew was just born and there are too many places to spend money. Your sister-in-law hasn't been confinement for a long time, and our family is so poor that we don't even give her an egg supplement every day. In addition, my parents are old, so there are too many places to use money, and I am not doing it for myself."

Chen Song looked at the big brother in front of him, feeling a little strange, when did his big brother become so eloquent.

"Hey, hey, why is Chen Mo!" Daniel stripped away the crowd who came to deliver lobsters, and walked towards the two of them: "Whatever you pay, you dare to take half of our business."

Daniu is tall and tall, he has traveled all the year round, and his simple and honest face also has a hint of murderous intent. Chen Mo couldn't help but take a step back when he walked over like this.

"Daniu, what do you want to do?" Chen Mo used to be an honest man, although he had a lot of strength, it was still very stressful for Daniel to face him directly.

Chen Song stopped Daniu, and said to Chen Mo: "Brother, this business is done by me, Sister Wang Yao and Brother Daniu, and the share is divided equally. You didn't do anything, and you planned to take half of the share when you came here. This..."

"Ah, that's it."

Chen Mo blushed as if on fire, and just wanted to dig a hole in the ground with his toes so that he could drill in.

"Then I'll go."

Chen Mona was still willing to stay, but felt that he had lost face in front of his third brother, so he turned around in shame, ready to leave.

Chen Song stopped him.

"Brother, I know it's not easy for you. Well, I really can't let you join my crayfish business, but I have some other businesses here, and you can learn from us."

Chen Song grabbed Chen Mo's arm and pulled him back.

"Forget it, forget it, I still won't get involved in your business." Even though he was pulled back by Chen Song, Chen Mo still couldn't let go.

"Don't worry, this business won't affect my side." Chen Song reassured him.

"Then... let me try?"

After hesitating for a while, Chen Mo thought of his mother-in-law's instructions, and finally nodded, intending to listen to his third brother's method.

Daniu looked at the two brothers, shook his head slightly, and secretly pulled Chen Song's clothes. Chen Song was carrying Chen Mo on his back, and behind Chen Mo's invisible, he shook his hand to indicate that it was okay.

Daniel murmured secretly, and walked away. After all, there were still many people waiting in line, and Wang Yao couldn't do it alone.

"Brother, I've been selling some crayfish these days, and I occasionally catch some snails. Many people in the county like this thing. You can set up a stall next to us to sell some snails. According to my previous sales situation, the sales are still good."

After all, he is his own eldest brother, and Chen Song can't make the decision to refuse.

Regardless of the reason for their separation, Chen Song was brought up by Chen Mo when he was a child, and was bullied by the villagers. It was also Chen Mo and Daniu who helped.

"Just such a snail, can it be sold in the county?"

Chen Mo's ideas are still before the reform and opening up, and his thinking is not very active. This is also the malady of most rural people.

In 1983, the wind of reform and opening up in the countryside just came into my own hands.And this wave of passion is generally only blown on the coast and a few big cities.

"In our countryside, lobsters and snails are worthless things, but as long as you cook them deliciously, there will be a lot of people in the county who like them?" Chen Song pointed to a pile of lobsters in the yard: "Otherwise, how could I buy crayfish when I'm full? You're right!"

"I didn't expect that the people in the county have such strange tastes, and the snails can be sold for money just by tasting them!"

Chen Mo muttered to himself, and then patted Chen Song on the shoulder: "Thank you, third brother. With this business, I have an explanation to your sister-in-law."

With that said, Chen Mo left Chen Song's place.

Chen Song shook his head slightly, watching his elder brother's figure gradually disappear before returning to the place where the lobsters weighed too much.

Seeing him coming back, Daniel immediately pulled him and asked in a low voice: "I guess your sister-in-law must have encouraged your brother to come here. How could he, who can't speak three words in a gourd, ask you to do business with you personally, and take such a large share."

Daniu also knew about Mrs. Chen Mo's viciousness, and also about how Chen Song was bullied by her before the separation.

"Except for my sister-in-law, who else can be." Chen Song sighed.

"Anyway, it's fine if you have your own ideas." Daniel didn't say much, Daniel also saw it clearly in the past two days, Chen Song seemed to be a different person, he handled people well, he was generous, and he was much better than ordinary people.

"I introduced the snail business to my elder brother, so he should be able to do it."

As Chen Song said, a bad idea suddenly came up in his heart.

According to the temperament of my sister-in-law, I am afraid that this snail will not be too willing to put oil, so the appearance will not be very good, so this snail may not be able to sell.

In case of losing money at this time, the sister-in-law will probably blame Chen Song herself, and maybe make a fuss.

Chen Song shared his thoughts with Daniel, but Daniel cut it short: "If they can't even cook snails, they still want to build a stall. Don't worry about it. Everyone has their own blessings. You should first think about how to make them after collecting so many lobsters today."

Chen Song waved his hand to indicate that he could do it, and stood on Guo Sai's side again, and put away the lobster.

After half an hour, Chen Song weighed the last lobster and gave him the money.

"Jiuye, take it easy, your lobsters cost three and a half yuan, and they're ready."

The last person to leave, the three of them looked at the several boxes in the yard full of crayfish, and they were immediately full of pride.

This is all money!
The three of them rested for a while, and then began to process the lobster again, cleaning, threading, and cutting the head.

Chen Song turned off the heat in the earthen stove early on, and the earthen stove was already dry, and with the addition of a large pot, he immediately started cooking crayfish.

There are still two flavors of spicy and garlic. It was already past five o'clock when Chen Songguang finished all the lobsters.

The three of them took a few mouthfuls of rice with Xiao Yaoyao and ate some crayfish.

On the other hand, Xiao Yaotiao took a nap in the afternoon and was shocked when she woke up to find that there were so many lobsters in her uncle's house.

Putting on the donkey cart and carrying the lobster in three big wooden buckets, the three of them headed towards the county.
