Chapter 450: Too many ants bite the elephant to death

"Who to call?"

Old Li yelled at the top of his lungs, and Wen Shi said without even turning his head, "Find someone to help buy a ticket for my wife to go home."

Before the words were spoken, the person had already left.

Lao Lei looked at his receding back and whispered, "Believe it or not, he must have used his connections to buy a sleeper berth for his wife."

"Lao Wen's wife knows how to make money."

Old Li's words left everyone speechless.

Yes, Lao Wen’s wife is good at making money. Even if Lao Wen wasn’t around, their life wouldn’t be bad with his wife’s ability to make money.

“It’s time to work.”

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

Except for being older than Wen Shi, they can't compare with him in any other way.

Instead of letting him overtake them from behind, they might as well make more effort and push forward.

At least I have to get closer to him and not be left far behind by him.

With this idea in mind, Lao Li and his colleagues became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They trained harder and worked even harder.

The main theme is that everything is for progress.

In addition, they also help their wives to make progress together.

If the daughter-in-law refuses, use Yi Chichi as an example.

Then, the victim came to the door.

"Chi Chi, can we discuss something?"

Yi Chichi put down her needlework, smiled and entertained Ji Jian and the others who came together, then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Can you stop being so excellent?"

The person who was speaking was Yang Qing. Although she was praising others for their excellence, her words were actually full of resentment.

Yi Chichi widened his eyes in surprise, "I don't quite understand!"

"Your Wen Shi went to show off to Lao Li and the others that you can loosen bones, which made Lao Li and the others extremely envious. Then, he was inspired and started to work hard to improve himself..."

At this point, Ji Jian was a little confused and said, "It is said that working hard to make progress is a good thing, but they also require us to work hard together and use you to stimulate us at every turn."

Yi Chichi, "!!!"

My goodness, this is a typical case of her getting into trouble without any cause.

What do you call this? This is what happens when you sit at home and something happens to you.

"…Then what do you want me to do?"

"Let your old man have a talk with them. You know what's going on when it's necessary."

Yang Qing clenched his fist and waved it, winking at her.

Yi Chichi understood immediately that this was to let Wen Shi talk first, and if they couldn't reach an agreement, they could then have another discussion on brotherhood.

Seeing that Sister Lei and the others all agreed and no one objected, the corner of her mouth twitched, "Are you sure they are willing to fight one-on-one when we spar?"

The fear is that Lao Li and his men would be provoked and lose their moral integrity and engage in a group fight against Wen Shi.

As the saying goes, a swarm of ants can kill an elephant.

Wen Shi is not an elephant, and Lao Li and the others are not ants.

But they have received similar training and know the same moves. In a one-on-one fight, they can definitely win by using their physical strength, and they can also win in a two-on-one fight.

It's hard to win with three against one, but there is hope for a narrow victory.

If it's a group fight...

Then you will just get beaten.

"uncertain!"

Ji Jian replied confidently, "You should let your husband, Lao Wen, go and talk to them himself."

Yang Qing and the others nodded in agreement.

Yi Chi Chi was very convinced by this, "No, your man has done something wrong, so why should my old Wen bear the painful consequences of being beaten up? As for them using me as an example, you just have to bear with it for now. I will go back to my hometown the day after tomorrow morning."

Now that she has returned to her hometown, Lao Li and the others can't use her as an example anymore.

You can't just catch a sheep and pluck its wool.

Ji Jian and the others' attention was all drawn to the news that she was leaving.

He suddenly became anxious. "You haven't been here for long, why do you want to go back so soon?"

This is a typical case of lying with blatant eyes. She has been here for quite a long time, almost three months.

"If we don't go back now, the road will be blocked by snow and we won't be able to go back."

"Have you bought your tickets?"

"I've bought it. Brother Wen Shi helped me buy it."

As usual, go and pick up the ticket when you arrive in Guangzhou.

I also have to go to the Friendship Store.

I don’t know how Master Tang and his team’s work is going.

You can go and have a look then.

"Have you prepared everything?"

"I'm ready."

There isn’t much stuff, just pick it up and go.

"The gifts are not ready yet."

The only specialties that can be given as gifts on the island are dried seafood and dried fruits.

The distance is too far, and there is no way to take the fresh ones away.

"Come on, I'll take you for a walk around the neighborhood."

Ji Jian stood up first and extended a sincere invitation to her.

Yang Qing and the others also wanted to go, but they had to go to work and didn't have time.

So I could only get up and say goodbye.

After sending everyone away, Yi Chichi returned to his room, took the money and tickets, and went to find Ji Jian next door. He saw a lot of dried prawns, shellfish and other things in the sieve on her table, and wondered, "Sister-in-law, you have a lot of dried seafood at home, why do you need to change it?"

Ji Jian was fixing her hair, and when she heard the voice, she said calmly, "It's enough for the whole family to eat, but it won't be enough to send back."

She suddenly realized, "How long has it been since you sent anything home?"

Ji Jian took the backpack and slung it over his body, then pulled her out.

"I was a little short of money before, so I didn't have time to take care of it. It just so happens that you need a large quantity this time, so I'll borrow your quantity and pick out some good quality ones to send back."

This can be done.

Are fishermen poor?

poor.

The arable land on the island is limited, which also leads to the limited arable land in each production team. Although they are called farmers, they actually mainly go out to sea to fish.

It's half farming and half fishing.

The fishermen’s catch after going out to sea was distributed and sold by the production team. The good quality ones were sold, and the lower quality ones were kept and then distributed to each household.

But not every harvest from going out to sea can be sold out quickly. Sometimes you’re lucky enough to catch so much good stuff that you have to sell half and keep the other half.

The remaining half can be dealt with by yourself.

People on the island have no shortage of seafood to eat. If you want to eat it, just be diligent and go to the sea when the tide is low.

It's just that the species is slightly different.

Therefore, these seafoods can either be eaten by the people themselves or sold on the black market at their own risk.

But that was in the past. Ever since the number of military dependents began to grow and the number of educated youth coming to the islands also began to grow, the seafood in the hands of the villagers found a way to go.

Yi Chichi is the most popular one among them.

Because she always buys in huge quantities, in order to keep her as a big customer, her fellow villagers are willing to empty their boxes and give her all the good stuff.

This time was no exception. When she and Ji Jian appeared under the big locust tree of Guangming Production Brigade, the eyes of the children such as Niwa who were guarding the mats piled with dried lychees suddenly lit up.

The beautiful sister who is rich and willing to spend money is here again.

"Sister Yi, you're here to exchange seafood again!"

The clay doll, exuding a cleverness from head to toe, came running over with his two thin, black legs that looked like bamboo poles, and spoke Mandarin with a slight accent.

Yi Chichi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Niwa, you speak Mandarin really well now."

"I listened to my mom and dad and studied hard."

The clay doll puffed out his thin chest with pride and said happily, "I was praised by the teacher and was given White Rabbit candy as a reward."
