Chapter 724: It's really tempting
Chapter 724: It's really tempting
Mrs. Jin, Zhuang Jingjing and Mrs. Tang worked together, one played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, and they finally drove out those people who seemed to be just curious about gossip but actually had a lot of ulterior motives in their hearts.
Then, he quickly closed the gate.
Then, looking at the things piled up in the yard, everyone fell into deep thought.
Mrs. Tang: "I'll go call Ye Shu first."
This thing belongs to her, she has to deal with it!
Ye Shu had heard the noise a long time ago. She hadn't come out just now because she was dressing herself and the children, brushing their teeth and washing their faces. There were many children in her family, and it would take a while to dress them one by one.
This is the result that the third child can only wear two pieces of clothing by himself!
However, she also trusted Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing.
I believe that as long as they see these firewood and frozen fish, they will know what is going on.
Sure enough, they did not disappoint her.
By the time she dressed and went out, there was no one else in the yard.
But through the wall and gate, I could still hear people talking outside.
After all, there are so many firewood and frozen fish, it's really tempting!
Ye Shu said to them, "Let's divide these things up. It's really unseemly to have them piled up here!"
When Mrs. Tang saw her come out, she was about to excitedly pull her hand to talk, but she was beaten to it first. She was stunned for a moment: "Break up?"
Although Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing had just said that Ye Shu had exchanged these things for them, she didn't take it seriously.
So I was extremely surprised to hear her say that.
There was nothing wrong with Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing. They accepted Ye Shu's kindness and wanted to repay him, but that would happen later.
We must quickly sort these things out, otherwise they will be conspicuous if they are piled together!
So the two of them didn't say anything and directly called the naughty kids at home to come out and work.
Even for someone like Sanbao, holding a piece of firewood or a frozen fish is no problem.
Ye Shu also urged Mrs. Tang: "Let's talk about it later if there's anything else. Divide these things first. There should be more coal coming later."
Firewood is mainly used to heat the kang, while coal is used to burn the stove for cooking.
Of course, in homes without heated kangs, coal stoves are also a very important way to keep warm.
Mrs. Tang was not clueless. She knew the situation was special, so she didn't ask any more questions and quickly called her three children out to help work.
However, she still moved most of the things to Ye Shu's side, and only let the children move a small amount and pile them under the eaves of her own house.
Put it in the open to show others.
While things were bustling here, the people in the backyard were also busy.
Zhao Jinhua kept peeking out of the corridor entrance. She wanted to go out and ask what was going on. There was so much firewood and frozen fish!
She is also jealous!
Firewood would be fine, but even if she had it, she wouldn't be able to burn it because there was no heated bed at home.
But she is greedy for fish!
There is fish for sale in the farmers' market, but it is not available every day and you can't always buy it.
To put it bluntly, it depends on luck!
As a result, the front yard was filled with things that others had gotten by luck!
But she didn't dare to go, mainly because she was afraid of her man's fist.
She was now quite doubtful, wondering if she was really stupid. What if she said something wrong and made the woman in the front yard unhappy, and then she went to the garrison to complain about her? Wouldn't she be beaten again?
So, even though she was very envious in her heart, she was too timid to say anything, let alone take action.
However, she really couldn't control her desire to go and see it again and again!
Hey!
If you can’t eat it, then just satisfy your craving!
She didn't know how many times Chen Miao came out of the house when she came back from the corridor.
She seemed unaware of what had happened in the front yard and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so distracted?"
Zhao Jinhua's heart skipped a beat. No way? Was she being so obvious?
She subconsciously covered her face and said, "No, I'm fine."
Chen Miao didn't dwell on her condition, but instead looked towards the front yard and asked:
"What happened up front? I was just washing clothes at home and didn't come out to see what was going on, but then I heard a commotion up front. Did something happen again?"
She asked this on purpose. In fact, when the noise came from the front yard, she had already opened the door and heard it standing at the door.
She heard intermittently the exclamations of surprise from the people outside, as well as some unconcealed loud voices.
She hadn't seen the spectacular scene in the front yard with her own eyes, but just by listening to the noise just now, she could guess that there must be quite a lot of those things!
She also heard the noise of people in front driving away the onlookers.
So I didn’t go out to see it right away.
But she was also itching to do it, so when she saw Zhao Jinhua looking distracted and restless, she couldn't wait to see what she was doing.
She also came out on purpose to ask about the situation.
Zhao Jinhua was already incredibly excited, and now she couldn't keep her composure any longer: "Didn't you see! Three donkey carts full of firewood! And a whole donkey cart full of frozen fish!"
She exaggeratedly drew a big circle with her hands in front of her chest: "So many!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Miao was still shocked by the astonishing number.
Her expression changed slightly several times, but Zhao Jinhua was excited at the moment, immersed in the tangled emotions of whether or not to move forward, so she didn't pay attention.
Chen Miao took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and then asked, "Isn't that spectacular? Why don't you go take a look ahead?"
"Also, what are they going to do? They always have so many things. Could it be..."
She deliberately exaggerated the tone, leaving a suspense.
This can easily lead people to think deeply, and often in a bad way, such as speculation and profiteering.
These are all crimes!
Sure enough, she didn't say it explicitly, but Zhao Jinhua followed her thoughts and immediately explained with a wave of her hand:
"No, no, they weren't speculating. The four families pooled their money and asked the soldiers stationed there for help, then traded it with the villagers in the countryside!"
"It's not worth anything, just some firewood and fish. Don't think too much about it, it's nothing big."
Chen Miao felt disdain for her words defending Ye Shu and the others, but he didn't show it on his face. He was just surprised and delighted:
"Can you ask the soldiers to help you go to the countryside and exchange things with the villagers? Oh, that fish is a good thing! We can't buy food now, so exchanging it for some fish would be good!"
"The point is, I never thought we could actually ask the soldiers stationed in the area to help us exchange things?!"
