I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 28 Helping in times of need
After entering the vegetable market, the two found a good place to set up their stall near the entrance.

Because it is quite cold in winter, not all the people setting up stalls in the vegetable market have arrived at this time. We have to wait until after 6: before the stalls start to become empty.

So as long as you come early you can still grab a better seat.

It took about ten minutes for the two of them to prepare almost everything.

Qin Shuai even borrowed a small stool in front of a meat stall in the market. It seemed that he had pretty good social skills.

After Xia Yuan went around and bought some vegetables, he went back and gave Qin Shuai some more instructions.

It looks like an old father who is worried about his child living alone.

When he returned home to eat breakfast, his cell phone would occasionally ring with a notification tone.

【Receive 30 yuan】

【Receive 53 yuan】

【Receive 14 yuan】

During this period, several notification sounds were heard intermittently, the largest of which was 53 yuan, which should be the black fish weighing more than two kilograms.

Seeing the money continuously deposited into his mobile phone, Xia Yuan felt relieved. Although the sales were not fast, it was a good start after all.

On the way back home after dinner, the reminder sound rang more and more frequently.

Before going into the water to catch fish, he took a quick look and found that there were almost twenty payment messages, most of which were concentrated in the last twenty minutes.

This time period is also when the vegetable market is busiest. Most of the sales in a day depend on the time between 7 and 8:.

Xia Yuan showed a satisfied smile, put his phone away and then went into the water to start today's exercise.

Time quickly came to 12 noon. After more than four hours of work, we caught about thirty fish in total.

The main reason is that I haven't adapted well to the 20kg increase in weight. Even with the help of mental strength, I still fail from time to time.

During this period of time, the fish schools have become more and more scattered, and catching fish has become much more difficult than when we first started. It often takes a long time to find and catch a fish.

In addition, there are not many big fish underwater. If you want to find a big fish, you often have to search a long distance underwater. If you are not careful, you will swim very far. The sense of direction underwater is not clear, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

Unless a fish basket is placed at a certain distance, but the river bank is so long that it is simply unrealistic.

But even if there were only thirty fish, he was actually very satisfied. These were all big fish, and the price of one fish was not low, at least a dozen yuan.

At the end of lunch, Xia Yuan picked up his mobile phone and found that the profit from selling fish today looked good, about a thousand yuan. Even if he didn't sell all of it, there wouldn't be much left.

On the way back, I deliberately passed by the vegetable market and found that Qin Shuai was still there, but the fish there had been sold out.

There are only a few stalls scattered around.

Seeing Xia Yuan coming, an excited look appeared on his face.

"Brother Yuan, business was especially good today. There were only a few fish left after 10 o'clock. Officer Zhang came over and bought all the remaining fish."

Xia Yuan nodded and indeed found an income of more than 80 yuan.

"Also, there's over 200 yuan in cash. Some elderly people pay their bills in cash, and I keep track of all the bills."

I flipped through the bill briefly and found that every transaction was recorded and the number of fish was also displayed.

“Not bad, I didn’t expect that they would all be sold on the first day.”

"It was mainly because there were so many people, and they all bought on their own initiative. I hardly shouted at them afterwards."

This is indeed the main reason. In the month before the New Year, the number of people going to the streets to buy vegetables will only increase day by day, and the number of people going to the streets to buy vegetables is almost four or five times that of summer.

As long as there is no problem with what you sell, you can sell it without much effort. Besides, there are not many people selling fish in this season, so Xia Yuan is confident in letting Qin Shuai sell it.

If it weren't for the New Year's Eve, business wouldn't be so good. Not only would there be fewer people in the town, but the frequency of people buying fish and meat would also be much lower.

The children are not home, and few rural people can enjoy a feast every day. "Why aren't you going home after selling? Aren't you going to work at the factory today?"

Hearing this, Qin Shuai felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother Yuan, where should we put this iron vat? I can take the other small things back, but I can't move this, and I don't dare to leave it here."

"Uh……"

He subconsciously ignored the question.

"I hadn't thought of that. Next time you buy a pack of cigarettes, ask the store next door to look after them for you. I'll pick it up at noon."

"Actually, no need. I'll just wait here. There isn't much to do at the factory lately. I can finish it in the afternoon."

"That's fine, but if you need anything, just do as I say."

Qin Shuai almost felt numb watching Xia Yuan carrying a hundred-pound object and walking easily on the road.

He really couldn't understand how he had trained himself to this level, or if moving bricks could really increase his strength.

"Brother Yuan, why do you seem to have changed a lot since you first came back?"

Perhaps because he felt much better after making money, Qin Shuai couldn't help but ask this question.

"Yeah, I know. I've become much more handsome."

"..."

After returning home, Xia Yuan counted the money he earned today.

Since most of the fish caught are grass carp and the like, which are not very valuable, about 60 of them were sold for a total of about 1600 yuan, which also includes cash.

If all these fish were sold to a fishmonger, it would cost around 1200-1300.

"I'll give you all the cash, and then I'll transfer 100 to your bank card. That's your salary for today."

Xia Yuan didn't want to take more, so he just took the price charged by the fishmonger and regarded the rest as a little help to Qin Shuai.

"No, two hundred yuan is already a lot. It's much more than what I make at work. Besides, I didn't do much. Anyone else can do the same."

"Just take it if I tell you to. This is what we agreed upon. It's only for about a month. How much you can earn depends entirely on your ability."

Seeing this, Qin Shuai did not insist any more. He just said thank you and watched Xia Yuan disappear around the corner with red eyes.

Only after Xia Yuan disappeared from view did Qin Shuai look at the money that belonged to him and gently smoothed it with his hand.

My father disappeared, my mother ran away, and my grandmother passed away.

The pressure of paying off his father's debts and raising his sister alone fell directly on a boy who was only 16 years old.

The huge financial burden made him live under constant pressure, but fortunately, with the help of the villagers, he got through the most difficult time.

Now that his work is at a low point, Xia Yuan also gave him a hand.

It was the help of these people that allowed a young man to survive after suffering a series of blows.

Adding icing on the cake is far less valuable than providing timely assistance.

It can be said that the current income of 400 yuan a day is enough to relieve Qin Shuai from such great pressure in the short term.

As his hands moved, tears continued to slide down the boy's cheeks, and then sobs began to come out of his mouth.

The sound became louder and louder, and finally turned into crying...

No matter how mature he behaves normally, he is just a sixteen-year-old boy after all, and he finally lets it out when no one is around.
