Xiaoling looked at him in surprise: "Brother, do you really agree not to accept their eels?"
"Of course, you are my sister. If you don't want to take her in, of course I won't go against your will. If I don't take care of my sister's emotions, why should I take care of the emotions of outsiders?" Xu Erlong said with a smile.
In this world, many people are polite to outsiders but not to their own family members.
Give your smile to outsiders and leave your bad face to your family.
He's not like that.
When Xiaoling heard this, she pursed her lips and had a smile on her lips that she couldn't hide.
In the Xu family, she was always the neglected child. Apart from working silently, she had no sense of existence.
No one cared about her emotional opinions at all.
But now, the second brother said personally that he wanted to take care of her emotions. At that moment, she was really touched.
After smiling with her lips pursed, Xiaoling said solemnly: "Brother, what I just said was angry. I feel like I still have to accept their eels."
"Well, why? Tell me." Xu Erlong looked at her and encouraged her to express her thoughts.
"Because we charge a pound, they lose five cents." Xiaoling said with a smile: "The more we charge, the more they lose. They have lost too much, and thinking about the money they owe is a big headache. In the future
, they won’t come with us to harvest eels for business.”
Xu Erlong couldn't help but touched Xiaoling's head. The little girl was able to understand this idea of ebb and flow.
"If you don't accept their eels, and they look at the eels and become worried, and then run to toss the eels again, isn't that trouble? Dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious." Xiaoling thought for a while and added.
Xu Erlong smiled and nodded, agreeing with Xiaoling's view.
Indeed, if they did not accept Yang Limin's eel and took the risk, they might go to the market again and give them a chance to breathe.
I will continue to take chances with this eel in the future.
Now, accepting their eels and leaving them as a favor has also left them with a psychological shadow of loss. For a while, they will no longer think about collecting eels at a high price.
After a while, after they have calmed down, the eel business should come to an end.
Of course we have to do this kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Zhang Jinfang felt very happy when she saw her daughter and son talking and laughing.
The little unhappiness caused by meeting Xu Dongsheng outside just now disappeared.
Without a man, at least she still has a son and daughter.
After the family separation, not only the smile on her daughter's face became more obvious, but also on Zhang Jinfang's own face.
It's a pity that they don't have a mirror here. Otherwise, if you look in the mirror carefully, you will find that the flesh on their faces has increased unknowingly.
"Erlong, do you still collect eels here? I caught dozens of kilograms of eels today and brought them to you." Wang Shujun came over with the eels.
Besides her, there were other villagers.
Yang Limin stopped collecting eels, so they had no choice but to turn around and continue delivering goods to Xu Erlong.
"Collect it, but we can't collect it here now. My store is set up in the town." Xu Erlong said tactfully: "How about you guys collect more in two or three days and send it to the town?"
"Send it to the town?" Everyone hesitated, as it would take some time to go back and forth.
However, compared to the eel that cannot be sold, it is relatively acceptable to send it to the town.
"Moreover, it will be delivered to the town in cash and will not be recorded." Xu Erlong threw out this little temptation.
Everyone quickly accepted this.
If you send it to the town, you can exchange it for cash. You can get the money at any time, so it's worth it.
In this way, Xu Erlong settled these matters in a few words and firmly took the initiative.
He also saved a lot of work, as he no longer had to carry the eels from the village to the roadside and then load them into the car.
Invisibly, it also saves distance, manpower and time.
When Old Man Yang returned home, he really persuaded Yang Limin and asked them to carry the burden to deliver the eels to the town.
Xu Erlong did not take Qiao. On the contrary, he was very kind and handed each of Yang Limin's brothers a cigarette, which seemed a bit like sipping grudges with a smile.
Decades of life experience told him that when it comes to enemies, either defeat them with one move and avoid future troubles, so that others will never have the opportunity to jump in front of them again.
Or, turn the conflict into friendship.
After all, if you can't kill the snake, it's easy to leave trouble for yourself, so it's better to simply shake hands and make peace with each other.
At present, the Yang brothers are not provoking him to the extent that they want to kill each other.
Now I take the initiative to hand over cigarettes, which not only shows my generosity, but also indirectly eliminates the barriers and leaves no hidden dangers.
Sure enough, people around were whispering: "Have Xu Erlong reconciled with Yang Limin?"
"Xu Erlong is still magnanimous, taking the initiative to hand over cigarettes. The prime minister is capable of supporting a boat, but Yang Limin goes against him, but he doesn't care."
"Don't look at Xu Erlong's young age. He is the material to achieve great things. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters."
"Oh, it's my fault that I was so obsessed that I went to Yang Limin to sell eels."
"You are blind."
"From now on, I will believe in Xu Erlong."
This was done without spending a cent to establish his image again. In the eyes of the villagers, he was no longer the hairy boy Xu Erlong who didn't even have hair on his mouth.
Subtly, his words and deeds had a certain weight.
As for Yang Limin and his brothers, they were trying to learn how to do business for the first time. They lost more than 200 yuan every time they went in and out.
More than two hundred yuan, in rural areas, is almost a family's annual income.
This is also a great loss of vitality for them, who have been digging crops in the fields for many years.

At the chemical plant, Li Yongnian finally found time to take Li Yingtong to Qian'an Commune to thank the boy named Xu.
A few days ago, I went to the old man selling popsicles by the river and found out that the young man selling water, whose surname was Xu, was from Qi'an Commune.
Unfortunately, as the second-in-command in the factory, Li Yongnian was indeed too busy, so it was delayed for several days.
"Let's go today. It's been several days. If we don't go, it would be too insincere." Li Yongnian said.
Luo Chunmei helped him straighten his clothes and opened the collar of his white shirt.
Li Yingtong, on the other hand, was filled with resistance.
Why did she have to come to thank you? She was too embarrassed to see anyone.
"Come, bring these gifts." Luo Chunmei arranged her net bag.
Compared with the last gift, this one is much more valuable.
A pair of Kuimen cigarettes, a Xiaguan Tuocha tea, two bottles of malted milk, two bottles of canned fruit, and a few kilograms of apples.
It is carried in a red mesh bag. From the outside, it looks like it is of extremely high standard and full of sincerity.
"Tongtong, get up and leave." Luo Chunmei packed up and turned around to call Li Yingtong.
Li Yingtong got up from the sofa.
Today, she changed into a plaid dress with puff sleeves. Her hair was tied back behind her ears and tied with two pink ribbons, making her look youthful, lively and playful.
