Chapter 496 I Want the Hottest Thing
After breakfast, Chen Huihong asked An Wenjing for two old clothes that she no longer needed.

Cut it with scissors and old clothes can become towels for hygiene.

Taking a bucket and a towel, I went to the new house with Wu Shuisheng to clean it.

An Wenjing went to work, and Wu Jinhua also went up the mountain.

When Chen Hui got up, the room was quiet and there was no sound of workers shouting or talking next door. He felt a little uncomfortable at first.

After eating, the porridge was placed in a big pot and had gone cold, just right for eating.

I went into the house, took the cash and passbook from the drawer, and walked out to the new house first.

"Old Wu, I've finished brushing this area. Please fetch two buckets of water."

"Oh my! This tile is so good. It can be cleaned with just a few swipes with a broom and a rinse. It will be so easy to clean from now on!"

Chen Huihong is cleaning the dirt off the tiles in the backyard.

When he heard the noise outside, he thought it was Wu Shuisheng and shouted loudly without turning his head.

"It looks good, right? How about we lay it in your house next time?" Chen Hui walked to the side of the boat and asked with a smile.

"You lazy guy, you finally got up?" Chen Huihong scolded with a smile.

"Where is my uncle?" Chen Hui asked, looking around.

"He went to the toilet. They said it was the toilet in the new house and they were embarrassed to do it, so he went to Chen Liping's house next door."

As soon as Chen Huihong finished speaking, she saw Wu Shuisheng coming in from outside.

Seeing Chen Hui, he asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you going to the county town to do some business?"

"I'll be there soon. I want to ask you something first."

"Huh? You say."

As Wu Shuisheng spoke, he picked up the cold tea beside him and started drinking it.

Chen Hui asked Wu Shuisheng everything he wanted to know.

At this time, there are not so many requirements for parking a boat at the dock in Dasha Village. Whoever buys a fishing boat can just find an empty space to park it.

If you want to buy a new fishing boat, you have to go to the shipyard in the city.

To buy a boat, you need to pay all the money first. If the money is not enough, you can owe a few hundred dollars and then pay it when you get the boat.

The fishing boat can get it back by itself.

You can also ask the shipyard workers to drive from the shipyard to the dock, but you have to pay them ten yuan for their hard work and also pay for their return trip.

"Well, you'll have to ask the shipyard about when you can get the goods."

"The time it takes to pick up goods varies for ships of different sizes, usually about a month."

After Wu Shuisheng finished speaking, he had just finished a whole cup of tea.

Putting the cup aside, he asked, "Why are you asking these questions? The several thousand dollars from selling beads is not enough?"

Chen Hui grinned and glanced at his watch. "Aunt, uncle, you have worked hard. I am going to the county town to do some work."

"Go, go." Chen Huihong waved her hand and smiled.

"Look at the watch Chen Hui is wearing. Isn't it nice?" Wu Shuisheng said, resting his elbow on the windowsill.

"nice!"

"When I come back from this trip, I'll ask Ah Hai to go buy one with me."

"What use do you have for that? You might as well save the money."

After Chen Huihong finished speaking, she arranged for Wu Shuisheng to fetch water.

Chen Hui was going to pick up the goods today, so he rode his tricycle to the county town and found Chen Yaozu to pick up the goods that had been ordered the day before.

Chen Yaozu asked the people in the store to help move the goods out.

The two chatted at the door:

"Chen Hui, when will you bring that bead of yours to show to others?"

"The boss called and asked this morning."

Chen Hui hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "I have already sold those two beads. The man came to the village to buy them yesterday."

"Did you sell it? How much did you sell it for?"

"If the buyer goes to the village to collect the goods himself, will the price be lower? After all, it saves you the trouble of making a trip." Chen Yaozu asked. Chen Hui stretched out three fingers on his left hand, and then changed it to four.

Press your pinky finger down with your right hand.

"What do you mean?" Chen Yaozu didn't understand.

"It was sold for this amount." Chen Hui said.

Chen Yaozu thought about it, widened his eyes and asked: "Three hundred and fifty? Impossible! Three thousand and five?!"

"Hey, hey! I'm awesome, right?"

Chen Hui said proudly, and then said: "I came to see you today for something else. Doesn't your brother-in-law work in the shipyard? I want to know about buying a fishing boat."

"I can't find out today. They work in the city, and it's not convenient to call their workplace."

"How about you come find me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and we'll go for a walk in the city? The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I have some connections so I need to go out and walk around!"

"Go get a certificate from your village, and I'll take you out for some fun, and come back the next day?"

Chen Yaozu looked inside and saw the cashier busy with his own business.

He turned around and asked with a smile.

Seeing him like this, Chen Hui knew what Chen Yaozu was trying to do.

However, he had always looked down on such people who could be so casual and cool before, let alone now.

Chen Hui shook his head. "I'm going out to sea with them the day after tomorrow, and I won't be back until the day after tomorrow!"

"Humph, you young man! Why are you so serious?"

"Then come to my house on Saturday. My sisters will be back this weekend for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my second sister and her family will also come over."

Chen Yaozu complained and calculated the time.

Chen Hui was still very happy that he didn't have to make an extra trip.

I made an appointment with Chen Yaozu to go to his house on Saturday and have lunch there.

After everything was moved, I rode my tricycle back home.

Passing by the entrance of the department store, Chen Hui suddenly remembered something.

He first rode the tricycle to a managed location and parked it, then rummaged in his pocket for a long time and found a dime, which he handed to the old lady who was collecting the money.

"Pay me when you come back to get it!" said the old lady, waving her hand.

"Give it to me first, so I won't forget it later."

"This five cents is for looking after the tricycle. I'll give you five cents more if you help me look after the goods on it." Chen Hui said.

"No! No, it's not a big deal if you just watch it, why should I charge you more money!"

The old lady took out five cents from her pocket and insisted on giving it to Chen Hui.

Chen Hui refused for a while, but finally accepted it and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie!"

The old lady smiled embarrassedly, "Young people nowadays are really polite."

Chen Hui smiled and entered the department store.

Ignore the shop assistant who had been arrogant all the way but turned into a smiling face due to the sudden change in life.

I went straight to the second floor to find Lu Jiajia.

Lu Jiajia was operating the sewing machine carefully and quickly, and the machine made a very pleasant, swishing sound.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw someone coming into the store, he stopped what he was doing and looked up and said, "Chen Hui, it's you!"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Chen Hui greeted, his eyes sweeping over the pieces of fabric hanging on the wall.

"Do you want to buy cloth? What kind do you want?" Lu Jiajia asked.

"I want a bright yellow cloth that looks a bit golden."

"The very flirty kind." Chen Hui said.

“???” Lu Jiajia looked at him in confusion.

"No?" Chen Hui asked.
