He even got some wine. Of course, this wine wasn’t of super high quality. Ten coins could buy a lot of decent-quality wine. Usually, the family couldn’t bear to buy it. The other families in the surrounding villages basically relied on renting land for a living, so they naturally couldn’t bear to buy it. It was already very good to be able to drink it on a holiday before New Year.
When they heard that there was wine to drink, the men immediately agreed to come.
“Let me help you.” Jiang Yue walked over and helped Li Hehua wash the vegetables.
“There’s no need.” Li Hehua’s heart melted again.
Xue Yan looked around but didn’t see his brother, so she asked, “Where’s Uncle Yifu?”
“Well,” Li Hehua said, “He’s still at the village entrance with Father and Erfu, waiting for the people from the town’s oil mill to come and collect the rapeseed. Everyone’s waiting there, and we don’t know if the people from the oil mill will come.”
Yu Hongyan couldn’t help but say, “I don’t know what’s wrong with the people from the oil mill. They said that they would come in the morning, but they didn’t come in the morning. It’s already afternoon and the sun is about to set. If they still haven’t come, then they definitely won’t come. They caused everyone to pick the seeds early in the morning and made us wait at the entrance of the village. They did nothing and wasted a day’s time.”
Liu Guixia didn’t complain about anything. While stir-frying the vegetables in the pot, she asked, “Xue Yan, why are you looking for him?”
“I made a more detailed sketch of the building.” Xue Yan said.
“Then go to him instead,” Liu Guixia immediately said. “Call him back and let your father and Erfu wait there. I have a feeling no one from the oil mill will come today. It’s not like they collect our seeds in the dark.”
“Alright,” he said. Xue Yan nodded and was about to go out when he saw his father, Yifu, and Erfu carrying back the bags of rapeseed.
Erfu said unhappily, “If he wasn’t coming, he should have said so earlier. If the village chief didn’t ask, we wouldn’t have known that he wasn’t coming today. Today could be changed to tomorrow, or maybe tomorrow could be changed to the day after tomorrow. What kind of person does this? It’s the same every year! They’re bullying us for having only one oil mill in our town, and we have no choice but to sell it to them!”
“Alright, stop talking. It’s not just our family, the entire village is affected.” His father said.
Erfu did not say anything else.
Xue Yan knew that they had to sell the rapeseed. They couldn’t leave the seeds at home to rot. Besides, if he didn’t sell them to the only oil mill in the town, he could borrow an ox cart to sell them in the county. Although the prices of rapeseed in the county were higher, it would cost money to borrow an ox cart. It was such a long distance, and he couldn’t choose to sell them in the county. If he cancels the cost, it would be the same as selling them to the town. It would be a lot of trouble, so it was not worth it. He had no choice but to wait.
He only waited for their father to walk to the door before saying, “Father, we shouldn’t plant rapeseed in the future.”
Xue Dafu immediately grinned. “You heard everything? If you start up your workshop, you won’t be able to sell it for much, and you’ll be bullied, so of course, we won’t plant it. ”
Hearing his father’s promise to stop planting, Xue Yan also laughed, “My picture has been reworked again. I was just about to show it to Yifu.”
Xue Dafu immediately urged Xue Yifu, “Yifu, quickly put down your load and go look at the drawing with Xue Yan.”
“I will.” Xue Yifu sneered, but he still picked up the seeds on his shoulder and placed them under the corridor in front of the central room.
