Jin Liangyu

Chapter 64 Yang Laogen’s words
  Zhou Erlang felt that his head hurt from their noise, so he covered his ears and said to the village chief uncle: "Uncle village chief, if anyone in the village wants to buy, please register with you, and then you can count how many families want to buy." Tell me. Also, my father-in-law said that each household can only buy five kilograms."

I heard that one household could only buy five kilograms, and some people were unhappy.

"Why can't you sell more to us? My parents' family has no more food."

"Yes, yes, five kilograms can only last a few days, and it is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth."

"That's right, that's right, you should sell more to us and buy it while we're at it."

Several people shouted very loudly, and their attitudes were completely different from before.

Yang Laogen got angry and spoke with a dark face to stop him. "You have to be grateful as a person. How many days can you eat five kilograms? Your face hurts when you say this? This month, every household in our Shangyang Village counts as one household. Who has eaten five kilograms of corn noodles in a month?"

Everyone present was silent.

"Lao Jin knows that when we are short of food, he helps us in times of need, so we must have a grateful heart. When our donkey's tail can't wrap around its butt, don't think about the seven aunts and eight aunts, and the second aunt who is so evil."

Someone lowered his head.

"Some people are even more lively, thinking that they can take advantage of Lao Jin and make a big profit by changing hands. If you think like this, can you please help me? Who is Lao Jin? That's our top ranking in Linjiang County Chef San, don’t you understand your little thoughts?”

Yang Laogen didn't show any face to some people today, so he spoke openly in front of the people in the village.

"Lao Jin is no smarter than you. You are just doing everything in front of the founder. I would be ashamed of you."

The scene was completely silent, and some people were even more ashamed.

After a long while, Yang Laogen saw that most people knew they were wrong, and then continued:

"I've said everything that needs to be said. Now, if anyone wants to buy these five kilograms of cornstarch noodles, come over and tell me, and send me the money to buy the noodles as well. Those who don't want to buy them will be left behind."

After Yang Laogen finished speaking, someone quickly said, "Uncle Village Chief, I'll buy it from my family. I'll get the money for you now."

"Uncle village chief, my family will buy it too."

"Lao Gen, write this down for me too."

It was crowded for a while, and there were no more discordant sounds.

Every household in Shangyang Village bought it, even Old Man Zhou and Zhou Dalang were no exception.

After everyone in the village dispersed, Yang Laogen discussed with Zhou Erlang in detail: "Erlang, can you talk to your father-in-law and give our family five more kilograms of corn flour? My father-in-law's family will also be short of food." He is so old. He eats wild vegetables every day, and even a junior like me can’t stand it.”

"Okay, uncle, I'll tell my father-in-law when I get back."

"Erlang, uncle, thank you."

"Uncle, why should I say thank you for such a small thing?"

"That uncle is going back first."

"Well, I'll go back too, so that my father-in-law can deliver corn noodles to our village as soon as possible."

"Okay, we'll wait."

After seeing off the village chief uncle, Zhou Yilang wanted to go back, but Wang stepped forward to stop him.

"Why are you so stupid? Your father has told you that corn noodles cost a pound more now. Why are you still selling them according to your father-in-law's instructions? You are a heartless thing."

Zhou Erlang didn't want to talk to Mr. Wang at all, so he picked up his backpack, turned around and left.

"You little brat, don't come back if you have the guts."

Zhou Erlang acted as if he hadn't heard anything and quickly walked away with long strides.

"Oh, why is my life so miserable..." Before Wang could make a long sound behind her, she heard Old Man Zhou scolding her, "You can't survive a day without doing anything. I'm here to watch and wait for you." You've offended both children, let me see what you do." "I~" Wang wanted to say that she still had Sanlang, but she remembered that Sanlang was still young and it would take at least ten years before he could earn money to support the family, so she behaved Shut up.

The father and son tacitly agreed not to speak, and they both tacitly agreed not to cook the noodle soup. They were afraid that the smell of the noodle soup would spread and attract people in the village.

The two little girls looked at their father eagerly, wondering why their father didn't make food for them since their second uncle had sent corn noodles to the family.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, we are waiting. When your grandpa from the Jin family delivers the corn noodles, daddy will cook noodle soup for you."

Although the two little girls didn't understand why their father did this, they both nodded obediently.

Seeing that the father and son did not follow her wishes, Mrs. Wang cursed and went back to the house.

Old man Zhou glanced at the west wing and then quietly discussed with his eldest son: "Let's eat some of these fried snails first to fill our stomachs. It smells weird to me."

"My mother's place?"

"Save some for her, otherwise none of us will be able to eat."

"Yes." Zhou Dalang waved and led the two girls into the thatched shed. Old man Zhou also followed, without telling anyone to Mrs. Wang.

Erlang returned to the mountain and told Jin Sheng about going to Yangcun, "Dad, every household has bought it." Those discordant voices did not tell Jin Sheng, because he was afraid that his father-in-law would feel uncomfortable.

Jin Sheng didn't care, he had already thought of some people and things.

"I will go down the mountain now and try to deliver the food to Shangyang Village before dark."

"Thank you dad."

"I'll come back and stay tonight." After Jin Sheng finished speaking, he hurried down the mountain.

Zhou Erlang watched his back disappear, then sat down on the steps and stared at the green mountains in the distance in trance.

When Jin Liangyu came out with Dabao in his arms, he immediately reacted, picked up his son with a smile, and said, "This kid seems to have gained weight again."

"Well, he is so comfortable. He only eats and sleeps all day long. He even cries twice when he is unhappy, so we have to coax him heartily. If he slows down, we will be very anxious."

Little Spirit Fox: "That kid, are you blushing a little?"

Dabao:…

Zhou Zuorang teased his son for a while, and after listening to his wife's thoughtful words, he came back to life with full health.

"Daughter-in-law, I have to remove the weeds. Weeds are growing rapidly in this newly opened field."

"Well, you go."

Jin Liangyu actually wanted to help, but how to place Dabao was a problem.

Carrying it with a cloth strap, in such weather, the two of them would probably get prickly heat for a long time, and she didn't want the child to leave her sight if it was kept in the house.

Fortunately, Zhou Erlang loved his wife and children, and would never ask for work from his wife.

...

Before dinner, Jin Sheng drove the donkey cart to Shangyang Village. There were children looking at the entrance of the village for a long time. When they saw Jin Sheng driving the donkey cart, some children ran back to deliver the message.

After receiving the letter, the villagers spontaneously gathered at the village chief's house.

When they saw the flour bags on the donkey cart, some of them almost lost control of their hands.

Jin Sheng didn't talk nonsense and said directly to Yang Laogen: "Brother Yang, come and bring someone to meet you."
