Chapter 483 We are all from the same village, I will give you a good price
"Then we can set off to Dasha Village together today!"
"Wait for me, I'll go call Xiao Ming!"
An Wenjing picked up the cross-body bag containing the prepared lessons and went out to call Chen Xiaoming.
Chen Hui entered the room and took out all three beads from the drawer of the wardrobe.
"Ah Hui, let me see the beads! Wen Jing said they are very beautiful!"
Chen Huihong was eating breakfast and waved to Chen Hui.
Wu Shuisheng also came over to watch curiously.
"Wow! It's really beautiful!"
Chen Huihong took the two beads from Chen Hui's hand, looked at the sky outside, and asked Wu Shuisheng:
"Didn't you go to watch the fun when we collected that bead last year?"
"How does this compare to that, Hui?"
Wu Shuisheng took the beads, held them between his fingertips and looked at them left and right.
"This big bead is much better than the one sold by the villagers last year."
"The one I bought last year was about the same size as this small one, but the color was a little lighter and it didn't look as round as this one."
"As for the smallest one, it can't even be called a bead. I don't think anyone wants it!"
As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he put the three beads back into Chen Hui's hands one by one.
"Hey, Old Wu! How much can Chen Hui's three beads, no, these two beads, be sold for?" Chen Huihong asked.
Wu Shuisheng pondered and said, "Last year's one sold for 1,000 yuan, so Chen Hui's two together should sell for more than 2,000 yuan."
"Only more than 2,000 yuan?" Chen Hui said.
"Wow!"
Chen Huihong grinned, patted Chen Hui and said, "Two thousand yuan is not enough? I'm so happy to be able to sell it for more than two thousand!"
A few people were chatting and laughing, and An Wenjing took Chen Xiaoming over.
He shouted from the roadside outside the door: "Brother Chen Hui! Uncle! Let's go!"
"I'm coming!"
Chen Hui wrapped the things in cloth and put them in his pocket, and the group walked in the morning sunshine to Lin Jiao's door.
Chen Xiaoming saw Chen Hui pushing out the tricycle and climbed into the back bucket curiously.
He waved his hand towards An Wenjing and said, "Teacher An, I'm going to take Brother Chen Hui's tricycle today!"
"Huh? Why do you also call her Teacher An?" Chen Hui asked.
"Sister Wenjing won't let me call her Sister Wenjing. She said I should call her Teacher An at school!"
"I've gotten used to it after a few days, so I just keep calling it that." Chen Xiaoming said with his hands spread out.
"Yes! You should refer to your job title when you are working!" Chen Hui nodded while holding back his smile.
An Wenjing was a little embarrassed by his expression, and explained with a smile: "It sounds more majestic this way."
"Uncle, you ride the tricycle, and I'll take Wenjing on a bicycle."
"Otherwise, I will be exhausted to death taking care of you and Xiao Ming alone!"
Chen Hui patted the seat of the tricycle and said.
"Okay! I might as well try this thing! I've never ridden a tricycle before!" Wu Shuisheng stepped on it and rode away first.
Chen Hui and An Wenjing waited for a few minutes until Chen Lihua from the same village arrived before they set off together.
On the way, An Wenjing and Chen Lihua chatted about things at school.
"Chen Hui, why did you personally send Wen Jing to work today?"
"Are you worried about something?" Chen Lihua said with a smile.
Judging from Chen Lihua's behavior, she doesn't seem like the kind of girl who is bashful and fragile.
Plus, she was the one who started the joke.
Chen Hui stepped on the pedals easily and said with a smile:
"It's normal for a man to pick up and drop off his wife when she goes to work. Teacher Chen should also find a partner and feel the feeling of being valued."
Chen Lihua burst into laughter after hearing this.
With one free hand, An Wenjing patted the back seat and started chatting: "I'll tell you something hilarious. Yesterday my parents were still saying that Chen Hui was the best guy in the village, but it was a pity that you got the upper hand."
"Let me find a partner according to this standard in the future."
"I thought it was some standard, and after asking for a long time, it turned out to be that it was about being able to build a red brick house!"
"I immediately remembered the story I told my children about the three little pigs building a house!"
The three people burst into laughter at Chen Lihua's words.
Chen Hui laughed and added: "So I am a pig in Teacher Chen's eyes?"
Another burst of laughter followed.
Wu Shuisheng rode the tricycle, which was slower than their bicycles.
Although we started first, we were gradually caught up by those behind us.
Chen Xiaoming heard bursts of laughter from behind and asked repeatedly, "Uncle, slow down, what are they talking about in the back?"
"The most important thing for children is to study, don't worry about anything else!"
After Wu Shuisheng finished speaking, he moved even faster.
The group arrived at the Dasha Village Primary School one after another.
Chen Hui gave the bicycle to An Wenjing and asked her to push it to the school's bicycle shed.
He rode his tricycle and arrived at the dock with Wu Shuisheng.
Seeing that Wu Shuisheng didn't go to the purchasing point, he asked curiously, "Uncle, who are you selling this to? Doesn't your cousin want to buy it?"
"This kind of stuff is too expensive, and there's no way to sell it. Who would dare to take it in?"
"In the whole Dasha Village, there is only one store that buys goods worth thousands of yuan."
Wu Shuisheng explained and took Chen Hui to a grocery store not far from the pier.
They usually come here to buy whatever they need when they go out to sea.
Chen Hui thought Wu Shuisheng wanted to buy some cigarettes for his daily necessities, so he stood at the door and did not go in.
Wu Shuisheng went in and came out again, waved to Chen Hui and said, "Come in! What are you standing at the door for?"
"Here?" Chen Hui was confused.
"Yes! Come in quickly!" Wu Shuisheng waved again.
When Chen Hui walked in, he saw that there was no one else in the store except the old man who didn't look very wealthy.
Wu Shuisheng strode over and said, "Mr. Qing, I have something good to show you."
"Good stuff? What good stuff? Bring it here and have a look." The old man stopped what he was doing and asked with a smile.
"Chen Hui, quickly show the things to Aqing Gong!" Wu Shuisheng said.
Chen Hui took out a ball of cloth from his pocket.
Spread the cloth out on the counter to reveal the beads inside.
"Oh! Melo Pearl!"
When the old man took a look, his eyes, which looked a little cloudy due to his old age, brightened a lot.
He picked up the larger bead and looked at it, then walked to the door of the store and held it high up to look at the sun.
After looking at the big one, he took the smaller one out to look at.
He acted as if he hadn't noticed the small, non-round thing that Chen Hui finally touched out.
He just looked at the two big beads again and again, his joy beyond words.
"Mr. Qing, are you still helping people collect these this year?" Wu Shuisheng asked.
"Yes! Yes!" The old man nodded happily.
"Then give me a price. How much can these two sell for?"
The old man seemed to suddenly remember that he had to pay for these two beads.
The joy on his face faded a bit.
He took out a magnifying glass from the cabinet, looked at it for half a minute and said:
"We are all from the same village, I will give you a good price! Give me the useless one, and I will give you two thousand yuan for these two big ones!"
