Chapter 649 New Arrangements

Ye Yaodong was also relieved. It was only the beginning of the year, and now he had solved the problem of the balance payment. He could save everything he earned this year, and his money could be more relaxed, so that he would not be in a hurry to hand over the money. to death.

He picked up the porridge that had become warm on the side, took a few sips, mixed it with a few pickles, and finished the bowl. Then he grabbed a meat bun wrapped in a newspaper on the table and gave his father-in-law and mother-in-law a fight. Say hello and go out immediately.

We have to settle the house matter first.

Thinking about it, I feel a little overwhelmed. If you really want to do one thing seriously, you won't really do just one thing. There are many stumbling blocks and thorns and bushes on the road to the destination, and there will be many things coming one after another.

He was not familiar with the nearby small village, and had never been in it. At most, he had just passed by it, and he didn't know who the village leader was.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw a group of old ladies sitting there basking in the sun. He looked at them, and they were staring directly at him. His scalp was numb when he looked at him. Their voices were originally talking lively. It became quiet, and the children running and jumping on the side quickly avoided it.

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly. Did he think of him as a human trafficker? Are there such handsome human traffickers?

He touched his cheek and felt that he should be able to kill both young and old. He was immediately confident and stepped forward with a smile.

"Grandma, why don't you bask in the sun? The sun is pretty good these days. Let's bask in the sun to kill germs."

"Hey, let's bask in the sun, bask in the sun..."

"Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing in our village?"

"He doesn't look like a salesman, nor is he carrying a load. His hands are empty... Could he be here to step on some things? Tell the children to stay away and not come out."

"I heard that the newspaper said a few days ago that many people were arrested, and they came out again so soon?"

Ye Yaodong: "?"

Do you think he can’t understand the local dialect? He said it so directly. Although the words spoken in each town here may be different, some of the individual tones are the same, and he can still guess a little bit.

He quickly explained, "No, grandma, I want to find the village chief. Can you tell me how to get there?"

"Ah, are you looking for the village chief?"

"Yeah, how do you get to your village committee?"

They don't understand each other's language. Grandma doesn't speak Mandarin. They speak like a duck. Anyway, they can probably understand what the other person is saying.

"Are you looking for the village chief? He doesn't look like a bad person..."

"Go forward, turn right at the intersection over there and then turn left. When you see the road, turn left again. There is a board at the door that says Xinghua Zhongcun Village Committee."

"Oh, okay, okay... then I'm going, you continue to bask in the sun."

Ye Yaodong continued to move forward with his legs. Wherever he passed, children avoided him, as if he was some kind of plague? And the gaze behind him was like a piercing light.

He finally felt what it was like when a stranger entered their village.

After shaking his head helplessly, he took a few steps quickly, while the children playing around him hid further away.

What's worse is that he forgot which intersection of the road the grandma pointed out just now turned?

"Child, come here..."

"No, you are a bad person..."

Ye Yaodong's mouth instantly bent down, with a sad face, "How do I look like a bad person?"

"You look like a bad person now, and my mother said that strangers outside, who take the initiative to talk to our children, are bad people."

Indeed, most strangers would not go to talk to a child, but he wanted to ask for directions.

"No, I didn't ask you to come over either. Just tell me how to get to the village committee. I forgot." Ye Yaodong was helpless.

An older child pointed to the path next to him, and Ye Yaodong turned into the path under the eyes of his grandmother, who was following him eagerly behind him.

After turning left and right, attracting the attention of a large number of women around him, he made a long circle before he saw the board with the name of the village committee written on it.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not easy. He was watched carefully all the way, from the age of 80 to the age of 3. Everyone who passed by stared at him.

At this moment, there were still two old men behind him. When he walked into the village committee, the two old men were still sitting on the stone on one side, their eyes still staring at the village committee.

I don’t know if it’s the aftermath of the human traffickers that broke out in their county some time ago, or if there are children missing everywhere around them, so they are so vigilant?

He was a little nervous all the way, for fear of being beaten if he behaved inappropriately or impolitely!

After entering the village committee, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was said to be the village committee, but in fact it was just a small courtyard. As soon as he walked in, he called several times at the door.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"

"Who?"

"Hello, comrade, I want to ask if there is any house for rent in your village?"

"Rent a house? No, no, where can I rent a house? Every household doesn't have enough to live in, so who is going to rent it?" A middle-aged man with white hair on his temples waved him away, then turned around and left. Want to go in.

"Wait, uncle, I'm really here to rent a house. I bought a stall in the nearby market. It's not convenient to live and eat there, so I wanted to come over and rent a house. I thought your village is quite close..."

At this time, the middle-aged man stopped and said, "You bought a stall over there?"

"Yes, if you don't have anything to rent, you can sell some. If someone builds a new house and the old one is unlivable, you can sell it to me. Look, there are two houses built in your village. …”

The middle-aged man looked at him carefully for several times before realizing that he looked familiar, "Are you the young man who bought two stalls?"

He must look familiar. He bought two stores at such a young age. Everyone remembers him. Just now, he just didn't think of him, and he didn't think of him in that direction.

Ye Yaodong's eyes suddenly lit up. Do you recognize him? If you recognize him, it will be easier.

"Yes, yes, yes, uncle also bought a stall? Was he there when the lot was drawn? My stall is already open to sell dried fish. You don't have to worry that I am a bad person and come to the village to take care of the child. I am a good person and a good young man. , good people..."

"I am the mayor of this village, my name is Wei Aiguo. Does the dried fish shop belong to you? It looks like two old men are watching there. There are several rental notices posted at the door. I thought it was rented out. Come on." The middle-aged man felt a little more relieved now and asked him to sit inside.

"My parents are looking after the store. Alas, your village is so vigilant. As soon as I came in, people stared at me from the end of the village. They were worried that I was a human trafficker."

"That's not entirely true. Haha, in the past few years, we have started to have ultrasounds. Everyone is afraid. When they see strangers entering the village, they stare at them first. Our village is not big, with less than 100 households, but there are basically one Mr. surname, you just said you wanted to rent a house, right?"

"It's okay if you can buy it."

The land was occupied in advance, anyway, it was around the city. When it develops later, sooner or later it will be moved into the city. Although the land is not valuable now, it is not easy for outsiders to go to other villages to buy land and houses, because xenophobic.

Villages in the south are where clans gather, and most people in a village have the same surname.

Because their village is close to the sea, the older generation had nothing to eat, so many of them went to the seaside to make a living, and then settled down to take root. That’s why they all have different surnames.

Village Chief Wei tapped the table with his fingers in turn, with a thoughtful look on his face, "If you want to buy a house, you have to ask the villagers who has a lot of houses that they are willing to sell. Most people will not sell, but you can ask if you want to rent."

"It's okay. We are all people who behave accordingly. Village Chief Wei can rest assured that we can rent or buy."

"Let me ask. I have to ask this first, Ming."

"Okay, I may not be at the store tomorrow. You can go to the store and tell my father-in-law, and he will tell me."

Wei Aiguo was immediately surprised, "He's my father-in-law, not my biological father?"

"Yes, I am my father-in-law, and I am also my father anyway."

Now he was a little appreciative. After saying so much, he thought it was his father who showed him the shop and he rented a house for him. It turned out that he was his father-in-law, and it was rare for them to have such a close relationship.

"Okay, I've said hello. I'll go to the store tomorrow and tell your father-in-law."

"What lottery number was drawn for the village chief's shop?"

Village Chief Wei was dejected, "Oh, forget it. It's a shop at Gate 3 and 4. I don't know how to fix it if it's left there. I can't rent it out. My mother-in-law scolded me to death."

"It will become lively in a few years. There is always a process for this development, so just take your time."

"You're still lucky."

"Then I'll leave first and wait for news from you tomorrow."

"Hey, good."

After Ye Yaodong walked out, he remembered that he came here empty-handed and didn't buy anything, which was a mistake!

He slapped his forehead. If he had been carrying something in his hand, he probably wouldn't have been rejected directly just now. He would have had to rely on his face to get in and talk.

I can only buy a few pastries to make up for it if I am sure there will be rent tomorrow.

On a stone not far from the village committee, there were still two old men sitting there. I don't know if they just took advantage of the situation and just sat there to bask in the sun. He shook his head speechlessly and walked directly over in a swagger.

Then he walked out again under the watchful eyes of the village women and grandma...

It was almost noon, and not many people came in and out of the store. The two elders also took some time off, put on the radio, and listened to the drama.

As soon as Ye Yaodong told them that he planned to rent a house for them in the village, they immediately received strong opposition and felt that there was no need to spend the money.

It was because he said that all the goods had to be brought over and piled into the store that they would soon have no place to live, so the second elder did not say anything.

"Then I'll stay for a while and see if anyone comes over tomorrow? There aren't many customers at the moment. Your mother is watching in the shop. I'll get you some money. Take it and go back early."

"OK."

He also has to go back and weigh the goods, and weigh out 3,000 kilograms of dried fish in advance. If there is really not enough, he will go to Uncle Pei's friends, or see if there is any more dried fish today.

Uncle Pei's friend has not yet weighed several thousand kilograms of dried dragon head fish. Yesterday, he weighed several households in the village and his house was already full.
