Chapter 725: Greedy
Sure enough, when Chen Miao said this, Zhao Jinhua was stunned for a moment.
Yes!
Ye Shu and the others can ask the soldiers in the garrison area to help exchange things, so why can't they?
She is also a family member of a cadre stationed in the garrison area!
Why can others do it but she can't?
Thinking of this, her mind became active. After thinking for a while, she turned around and walked forward.
Seeing this, Chen Miao curled up his lips into a triumphant smile.
Then he deliberately lagged behind for a while before following them out.
Although Zhao Jinhua had given her a heads-up, she still couldn't help but get shocked when she saw the situation in the yard in front!
The firewood was not so bad. There was a very high pile of it under the eaves of Ye Shu and her friends' houses, covered with oil paper.
I've seen it before, so it's not surprising.
And this thing burns every day, so it burns very quickly.
But there were so many fish! Where had she ever seen so many fish before?!
This is really the first time I’ve seen it!
She was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment!
At this time, Zhao Jinhua had already started talking to Ye Shu.
But she listened for a long time, and Zhao Jinhua kept praising her and asking questions, but never got to the point.
She was right behind him, so anxious!
Ye Shu had actually noticed her a long time ago, but ignored her.
Seeing that they were tired from moving and had no mood to talk to her, Zhao Jinhua saw that the children were helping with the work seriously, so she stopped being annoying and shut up to help with the work.
Ye Shuwan declined.
Zhao Jinhua: "It's okay, it's okay. We all live in the same courtyard. Why are you being so polite? I'll help you move. Let's move quickly. I think the weather is going to change again. It might even snow soon. We need to move in quickly!"
"The firewood itself isn't wet, so we'll move it now and mix some snow water in it. That way it won't get damp and won't rot easily!"
"Hey, where are you guys going to put all this frozen fish? Are you going to pile it outside?"
Just piling it up outside like this? It doesn't look good!
Anyone who comes in will see it at a glance, and the key is that it is also easy for someone to steal it!
In such cold weather, the fish are frozen inside and there is no need to worry about them being eaten by cats or anything else.
"But if we put it inside, you have a kang in your house, it's warm, and I think the ice will melt, right?"
She was really worried about Ye Shu and the others.
The first thing Ye Shu and the others moved was indeed firewood, because there was a lot of it, and as Zhao Jinhua said, they had to move it quickly before the snow fell.
So they haven't figured out what to do with the fish for the time being.
A whole truck of fish, at least hundreds of them!
Even if it is divided among four families, each family can get twenty or thirty!
It’s really, really a lot!
Mrs. Tang said: "Not every house has a kang. You can put the fish in a room that doesn't have a kang."
Sister Jin: “Yes, yes!”
Zhuang Jingjing was careful and had already sorted the fish into piles.
Although Ye Shu said that it was to be divided equally among the families, they couldn't feel at ease taking it.
Therefore, she only gave ten to her family. Sister Jin and Sister Tang also told her to give only ten, and the rest should be given to Ye Shu.
Ye Shu had no choice but to accept it as it was useless to postpone it any further.
Zhao Jinhua was too careless to notice these details.
But Chen Miao saw it, and she immediately came over and asked:
"How did you guys exchange this fish with the fellow villagers? How much did you pay? Did you need meat coupons? I see these fish are all different sizes, it doesn't look like they were specially taken out for exchange!"
Ye Shu didn't want to talk to her and motioned the three little ones to come over and move the fish.
They were strong and wore gloves, so even though the fish became very heavy after freezing, they had no problem picking up small fish to carry, or three kids working together to carry a big fish.
For them, this is both fun and exercise.
She didn't say anything, so Sister Jin spoke up: "Of course we have to exchange it for money or tickets. They worked so hard to get it here, we can't just eat it for free!"
Her tone was not very good, and Chen Miao found it irritating, but she endured it and continued to ask:
"So how much money and tickets did each of your families spend? I see why you got so little. Why did Ye Shu's family get so much?"
Mrs. Jin didn't answer: "Do you want to change too? Then go find the patrol soldiers of the cycling team. We don't have the final say on this matter. We have to see if they agree to it!"
What she said was not wrong, because these things were originally obtained by Huo Yisheng in order to take care of his own wife, and the fish was caught by Ye Shu herself. It had nothing to do with them. They just got a little benefit from it and had no say in the matter.
Unexpectedly, Chen Miao suddenly took the opportunity and nodded in agreement:
"Yes, you're right! We can't bother our fellow soldiers just for our own personal matters. They have to train, patrol, and do missions all the time, which is really tiring."
Sister Jin: “…”
Ye Shu: “???”
Mrs. Tang and Zhuang Jingjing: “???”
So, who are you implying?
Chen Miao suddenly realized what was happening and apologized quickly with an "Oops!" "That's not what I meant. I didn't mean anything else. Don't overthink it! I was just talking about myself!"
Ye Shu was too lazy to listen to her chatter and he knew exactly why she came.
They are the same as the group of people outside, curious, gossipy, and want to take advantage.
In fact, she did have a lot of fish in her hands, and as long as she could go down to the river, eating two fish would not be a difficult task for her.
But she couldn't stand her behavior of complaining and not being honest, stepping on others, and expecting others to be nice to her.
Sister Jin couldn't stand it either, so she laughed and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."
Zhao Jinhua helped with the moving for a while, and when she saw there was nothing for her to do, she went home.
Although she didn't ask directly how to exchange fish, she listened carefully. So, when Lao Zhang came in the evening, she would talk to him and ask the soldiers of the cycling team to help her go to the countryside to exchange some with the villagers.
Meat coupons are in short supply, and now it’s snowing heavily, so there’s even less meat at the butcher shop and it’s harder to buy.
It’s not a big deal for her, but the children are growing and need to eat.
Without meat, fish is also good.
Chen Miao didn't even notice when she left until Sister Jin asked her bluntly, "What else do you want to do here?"
She wanted to pull Zhao Jinhua out to act as a shield, but when everyone looked around, she was nowhere to be found!
Hey!
When did this woman run away without even telling her!
She was indignant in her heart, but she knew that if she stayed any longer it would seem unnecessary and awkward, so she said nothing more and just laughed twice: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys are busy."
Going home.
