The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 65 Exchange for dry goods 2

After walking another hundred meters along the big banyan tree, we arrived at the home of Aunt Hu and Aunt Liu.

Aunt Hu took out all the dried seafood that had been stored at home for a long time and asked Chen Xiaolin to choose. They live by the sea, and these things cost nothing and only require some effort.

Chen Xiaolin bought about 20 kilograms of dried squid, abalone, scallops, and kelp from Aunt Hu's house. Among them, the kelp weighs about seven or eight pounds. Chen Xiaolin likes to make soup with kelp. This much kelp is enough for her to eat for a year.

Aunt Hu was so happy that she exchanged these dry goods for five yuan. She should have known better.

Aunt Liu, who lives next door, is selling her dried abalones to Aunt Chen. All of these abalones are plump and meaty, and they are all carefully selected by her.

Aunt Chen originally planned to go with Chen Xiaolin, but she was forced to go home by Aunt Liu.

Although she was very tempted by the dry goods that Aunt Liu brought out, she couldn't cook them and didn't know which ones were delicious. She could only wait for Chen Xiaolin to come over and help her make a choice.

Thanks to Chen Xiaolin's quick decision, Aunt Chen quickly waited for her savior.

"Auntie, you haven't made a choice yet?"

"Xiao Lin, you are finally here. Come and help me choose. I don't even know which one is better."

"You buy some kelp and scalloped abalone to make soup, and the salted fish can be steamed to eat. As for other things, don't buy them." Chen Xiaolin didn't know some seafood, and she couldn't cook it, so she just Let Aunt Chen choose something she can do.

"Okay, I want these kelp and scallops. Two kilograms of abalone will be fine. As for the salted fish, I want ten kilograms." Aunt Chen's family has a lot of people, so she just buys more, otherwise she won't want it later. Eating is not so convenient.

"Just give me ten dollars."

Chen Xiaolin and Aunt Chen returned home with a full load today. It was only Chen Mu who worked hard, and their hands were full of things.

Chen Sen bothered Captain He for a long time today before asking him to grant him an extra month of leave.

When he got the leave request, he wanted to find Aunt Chen and Chen Xiaolin, but he didn't expect to find anyone when he came to the guest house.

He didn't know where his mother and Xiaolin had gone. They were not familiar with the place and they didn't know if they were lost.

Just when he couldn't help but want to go out to find someone, he saw his mother and cousin walking in, talking and laughing.

"Mom, where have you been? You don't know the way. What if you get lost?"

"Oh, it's the third child. Didn't you go back to the dormitory today? Why is your vacation confirmed?" Aunt Chen didn't like what her silly son said. Didn't she have a mouth? If you get lost, won't you ask others for directions?

"Isn't this my vacation approved? I want to tell you the good news! Who knew you all ran out to play." Chen Sen felt that his mother really didn't love him anymore, and now she was starting to dislike him.

Aunt Chen is too lazy to pay attention to her stupid son. She is in a good mood now. She exchanged ten yuan for so many things today. Everyone can make up for it this winter and take good care of themselves so that they can earn more work points next year.

Chen Sen secretly stuffed a handful of money into Chen Xiaolin's pocket while Aunt Chen was not paying attention. He whispered to Chen Xiaolin: "Xiaolin, you can spend this little money and don't tell anyone else."

Chen Xiaolin originally wanted to return the money to Chen Sen, but after thinking about it, she accepted it. The third brother always loved her. He stuffed wild fruits into her pocket when she was a child, and now he stuffs money into her pocket. If not After accepting it, he thought he was no longer kissing him.

When Chen Sen saw that Chen Xiaolin had accepted the money, he felt relieved. In fact, he had been quite uneasy these days. He always felt that his cousin seemed to be getting more and more alienated from him after not seeing him for several years.

Now Chen Xiaolin has accepted the money he gave, proving that he is still her favorite brother.

I just felt pity for Chen Mu who was walking behind with big and small bags. No one thought of him at all. Originally he was walking behind Chen Xiaolin and the others, but for some reason, he got separated from Aunt Chen and the others.

When he returned to the guest house, he was greeted by Aunt Chen's angry bombardment.

"Boss, why are you so slow? You really can't even eat hot shit."

"Mom" Chen Mu didn't dare to reply. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, his mother would be even more angry.

"Hmph!" Aunt Chen looked at the large and small bags in Chen Mu's hands. She then realized that she seemed to be enjoying herself today, and then let Chen Mu take everything by himself.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Chen Xiaolin sneaked out of the guest house while Aunt Chen was asleep.

When changing dry goods today, Chen Xiaolin secretly made an agreement with Aunt Hu, asking her to help her buy more seafood of all kinds. She wants both dried and fresh, and she can exchange it with grain tonight.

The location of this exchange was at the beach where Aunt Hu and Chen Xiaolin met today. For such a large-scale exchange, Chen Xiaolin would not dare to rush to other people's villages.

In order to save time, Chen Xiaolin ran all the way over. When she arrived at the agreed place, Chen Xiaolin took out a large truck from the space. This was driven out of the blind box by Chen Xiaolin just two days ago.

In the truck, Chen Xiaolin put two hundred kilograms of rice, one thousand kilograms of corn kernels and two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Because it is close to the sea, there are not many fields that can produce food, so exchanging food for seafood with them is what everyone is most satisfied with.

When Chen Xiaolin came to the beach, she saw a burning red fire with people standing around it.

Chen Xiaolin still felt a little uneasy, and she was also afraid of being reported by others.

Chen Xiaolin planned to leave her things and run away if something unexpected happened later.

Chen Xiaolin tentatively parked the car next to the fire. When she saw Aunt Hu and Aunt Liu asking everyone to line up, she got out of the car with confidence.

"Aunt Hu and Aunt Liu, you have worked really hard today."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. Our fishing fleet has all returned today. I heard that you wanted to exchange grain for seafood, so they brought them all over. I don't know if you can finish the exchange." Aunt Liu said cautiously Looking at Chen Xiaolin, she was now afraid that Chen Xiaolin wouldn't be able to exchange for so much seafood.

"It's okay. The quality of the seafood must be good. I want as much as I want." Chen Xiaolin planned to secretly take out a thousand kilograms of corn kernels before the truck was opened. She was worried that the current amount of grain would not be enough to replace it.

"Okay, let's start changing!" Aunt Liu was so enthusiastic today mainly because Chen Xiaolin promised to give her and Aunt Hu ten kilograms of corn kernels each after finishing the work.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Hu were helping with the weighing. Ten kilograms of fresh seafood were exchanged for ten kilograms of corn kernels. Of course, some expensive fish were counted separately.

Ten pounds of dried seafood should be exchanged for ten pounds of rice. Of course, good-quality dried abalone, sea cucumbers, etc. are not included. Seaweed and dried shrimps can only be exchanged for sweet potatoes.
