Chapter 388: Cleaning out goods in the black market
Zhou Qing Bai didn’t know how to answer this topic.
He wasn’t good at handling such household affair, so he didn’t respond.
Lin Qing He didn’t need to his response. She kept on going, “From the look of it, this Li Ai Guo isn’t bad. It’s just, only a small road that connects that side with the outside world. If one isn’t careful, they might fall down the mountain.”
In Lin Qing He’s head, the rugged hilly road on the top of Grandpa’s Mountain from Calabash Brothers appeared. Truthfully, it was really dangerous.
“Ride over there to see tomorrow?” Zhou Qing Bai asked.
“Alright.” Lin Qing He nodded since there wasn’t anything to do.
This couple was bored. They came over to Eldest Sister-in-law’s place for breakfast the next morning. They really headed over to Li Ai Guo’s side.
It would take a whole day to walk. However, with a motorcycle, they will arrive before 11 o’clock when they left at 7 o’clock in the morning.
When they reached the town, they asked around where Li Ai Guo’s village was.
This was indeed a village in the mountains.
If one took that dangerous mountain road, it was indeed a relatively short journey. It can take two hours to reach the village.
But there was an alternate road, which weaved the mountains and ridges to get in. This was a long way. It took four hours to walk from the town to the village. Which was almost half a day.
But relatively speaking, it was much safer.
But this was what people said. It takes a long time to reach the market.
It was too far.
It went without saying Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn’t head over to Li Ai Guo’s village.
They rested in the town. The couple ate ice cream to cool off the heat and then they went back to their village.
As for Zhou San Ni’s side. According to her temperament, nine of ten times she would rather take the long way over that kind of mountain road. So there was no need to worry much.
How there was no use worrying. Zhou San Ni will be living her own life. She had to go there by herself.
But if there is a chance in the future, she can let Zhou San Ni and Li Ai Guo consider the opportunity of going out to develop.
After all, children’s education was a big problem for those living in that kind of mountainous area.
When the couple returned to the village, it was already after one o’clock in the afternoon. They didn’t go anywhere to eat. There were hot dumplings and white rice in Lin Qing He’s space.
They can take care of it themselves.
After eating, Zhou Qing Bai went to his eldest sister’s house. Lin Qing He didn’t want to go. At this time, First Sister would definitely not want to see her.
However, Lin Qing He also felt very helpless. It was because of the momentary soft-heartedness, she agreed to Xu Sheng Mei coming over to cause misfortune. Now there was a bump in their interaction.
Zhou Qing Bai and First Sister were siblings, so it was better. Not only did he go to First Sister’s house, but also to Second Sister’s. It was to deliver the salary.
Lin Qing He, who hadn’t gone over, came to visit Zhou Dong and Cai Ba Mei.
Currently, Zhou Dong and Cai Ba Mei were truly climbing at the forefront of the village.
The two had two sons and a daughter, which was just a perfect combination.
When Lin Qing He came over, Zhou Dong was repairing the pigsty.
“Auntie!” Zhou Dong cried out happily and ushered his son and daughter: “Call granny.”
“Granny.” The two children greeted.
Lin Qing He grinned and opened up a pack of white rabbit candies. Then she gave them each two pieces and put the rest on the table.
“Ba Mei, Auntie is here.” Zhou Dong shouted into the backyard again.
Cai Ba Mei came over with her youngest son. She was overjoyed to see Lin Qing He and cried, “Auntie, really. No need to give them candies.”
“What’s the matter? There’s nothing wrong with my grand-nephew and grand-niece having a few candies from me.” Lin Qing He jollily responded.
Cai Ba Mei passed her youngest son to Zhou Dong. She went in, grab a cup to rinse, and brought out water.
“How many chickens have you raised?” Lin Qing He asked.
“I’ll tell Auntie, but don’t spread it out” Cai Ba Mei laughed quietly.
“Who can I tell?” Lin Qing He smiled.
“More than six hundred.” Cai Ba Mei lowered her voice and said with twinkles in her eyes.
Lin Qing He nodded and said, “This amount is quite appropriate. I think the sanitation isn’t sufficient.”
When she came in, the smell was too big.
“We clean up every day.” Cai Ba Mei said.
“Cleaning up is not enough. You have to clean the inside at least once in the morning and evening. You can’t save some money. Ask my brother to buy a few bottles of disinfectant from the hospital when he comes to collect eggs from you. Disinfect it once every two days.” Lin Qing He seriously advised.
“Okay!” Zhou Dong responded earnestly.
“You are diligent. After raising so many, I can still hear the sound of pigs?” Lin Qing He said.
“There are two pigs in the backyard.” Cai Ba Mei told.
Zhou Dong did the field work, while Cai Bamei managed the livestock at home.
It was enough a lot of work. However, the honest truth, it was also very profitable. In a month, just the eggs alone racked in a lot of income.
Compared to before the reform, the egg price had risen a little bit. In the past, eggs were about three dimes. Now they were about four dimes.
Moreover, it was still popular despite the price increase. The market’s demand was very high.
Especially now, those so-called coupons were beginning to become less effective. There was no restriction.
Lin Qing He was very optimistic about Zhou Dong and Cai Ba Mei. Their lives were prospering. With so many chickens, the income from eggs every month was almost equal to Zhou Qing Bai’s dumpling shop.
He will soon become a ten thousand yuan household in the village.
When Zhou Qing Bai got back from his two sisters’ place, it was about two hours later.
“What did she say?” Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows. She was guessing that First Sister would not go to the capital.
Sure enough, Zhou Qing Bai said: “First Sister doesn’t plan to go. She wanted me to bring Sheng Qiang with us.”
Lin Qing He didn’t ask much then. Her Qing Bai didn’t agree, otherwise, Xu Sheng Qiang should be here.
Saying goodbye to Eldest Brother, Second Brother, some other relatives, and neighbors, they came to the county city.
They dropped by the furniture factory to see their nephew, Zhou Xia.
Zhou Xia was quite occupied. Basically had no time to go back home. Except for the New Year, the rest of the time, he was in the factory.
Have to say, he was really hardworking. Now he can build some furniture.
After seeing Zhou Xia, the couple came to Third Brother Lin’s side to return the motorcycle to him. Then they passed by Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law’s side to say goodbye before they caught a ride to the municipal city.
It was already late when they reached the municipal city. There was no train at this time. Can only wait until tomorrow.
The couple rested there for one night.
They still got time to spare. Out of boredom, Lin Qing He suggested, “How about going to the black market?”
She wasn’t bragging when she says she was familiar with the black markets, whether it was in the county city, municipal city, or the provincial city.
“En.” Zhou Qing Bai had no objection.
The couple came to the black market to clean out their goods. This year, they made a lot of money as a profiteer. They basically exchanged for supplies.
