“Spouse, clear!”

Wang Liang was so formidable that Cheng Yun couldn’t refuse, so he agreed on Yang Hongjin’s behalf . These two days, Wang Liang had nothing to do and would additionally tinker with wooden with Yang Hongjin.

After that, as a result of Aunt Wang lived close by, she demonstrated the way to make Sauerkraut for Cheng Yun. Cheng Yun didn’t see any issues after watching, and Aunt Wang Danni, like an examinee ready for examination outcomes, breathed a sigh of reduction when she heard Cheng Yun’s approval.

Then again, as a result of Cheng’s mom couldn’t exit and couldn’t steadily disturb her son’s household, Cheng Bao’er took full duty.

Bao’er was conscientious and accountable in his work, and Cheng Yun trusted him. The style of the completed merchandise made by Bao’er was precisely the identical as when he made them himself.

Every little thing was ready correctly, and now they had been ready for the village chief to announce the information publicly so they may get began.

At evening, after Cheng Yun completed organizing every part and turned off the lights to lie in mattress, his thoughts was nonetheless stuffed with varied miscellaneous issues. Instantly, Yang Hongjin, who was mendacity beside him, softly referred to as out, “Spouse.”

At first, Cheng Yun didn’t concentrate, however Yang Hongjin furrowed his forehead and raised his voice barely, calling out once more. Solely then did Cheng Yun snap again to actuality, “Hmm?”

Listening to his spouse reply, Yang Hongjin grew to become completely satisfied. Sadly, he didn’t get to take pleasure in it for lengthy. The considered Cheng Yun being busy these previous few days, with many individuals coming out and in of the home, made his smile fade away.

Cheng Yun waited for some time however didn’t hear Yang Hongjin say something. He turned his head and glanced at him, solely to fulfill a pair of pitiful eyes.

Cheng Yun burst into laughter and immediately stopped fascinated with work. He turned to face Yang Hongjin, pinched his face, and coaxed him like a baby, saying, “What’s unsuitable? Who made my Hongjin sad?”

Yang Hongjin’s eyes instantly lit up, and he appeared a lot happier. Nevertheless, straight away, his temper dampened once more. He couldn’t disguise his considerations and spoke frankly, “My spouse ignores me.”

Cheng Yun, who was changing into increasingly more aware of Yang Hongjin, thought for a second and will most likely guess what he was upset about. He chuckled evenly, lifted Yang Hongjin’s chin, and pinched his cheeks to make them appear like an octopus mouth, deliberately saying, “How am I ignoring you? Look, I’m speaking to you proper now, aren’t I?”

(Siv: I actually don’t know what to make of this. I believe it means pouty?(ᗒᗩᗕ))

Yang Hongjin grew to become dissatisfied upon listening to this and listed quite a few examples of how Cheng Yun had been busy speaking to others these previous two days and ignoring him, explaining them intimately.

Cheng Yun discovered it amusing to pay attention, however then he realized that he had certainly been too busy to concentrate to Yang Hongjin these previous few days. As Yang Hongjin identified, he appeared to recollect a number of situations when Yang Hongjin referred to as him, however he was too preoccupied and forgot about it.

There was a slight sense of guilt in his coronary heart, however seeing Yang Hongjin’s severe expression, Cheng Yun couldn’t resist teasing him.

“I’m not ignoring you. It’s simply that many individuals are in search of me. They’ll solely see me in the course of the day, however you’ll be able to see me all day lengthy and sleep with me at evening. Doesn’t that make it balanced?” Cheng Yun nearly satisfied himself along with his reasoning.

However Yang Hongjin couldn’t be fooled. His logic was clear, and he asserted extra resolutely, “However you’re my spouse!”

Thus, Cheng Yun had nothing to say in response.”

Cheng Yun coaxed softly and gently for some time, making varied assurances that he would by no means ignore Yang Hongjin sooner or later. The corners of Yang Hongjin’s mouth progressively lifted in consequence. Fortuitously, he wasn’t tough to appease. Just some phrases from his spouse may make him completely satisfied for a very long time. The way in which Cheng Yun was coaxing him now exceeded his earlier experiences.

Nevertheless, Cheng Yun additionally felt completely satisfied whereas coaxing. As he pinched Yang Hongjin’s face and palms, his actions and tone carried an intimacy that he himself hadn’t observed.

Their voices grew softer as they spoke, and their distance closed. Cheng Yun, exhausted from a busy day, fell asleep whereas holding onto Yang Hongjin’s arm.

The simpleton muttered softly, “Spouse,” and Cheng Yun, in a drowsy state, responded with a muffled sound. After some time, he referred to as out softly once more. As soon as Cheng Yun was utterly misplaced in sleepiness, Yang Hongjin gathered his braveness, leaned nearer, and planted a kiss on Cheng Yun’s face.

Yang Hongjin acted swiftly, instantly retracting and overlaying his mouth, fastidiously observing Cheng Yun’s response. He found that his spouse was nonetheless slumbering, blissfully unaware, like a baby having fun with a stolen deal with.

He patiently waited for some time, realizing that his abdomen wasn’t hurting. His pleasure soared even greater, and he couldn’t assist however act smugly. He whispered, urgent towards Cheng Yun’s ear, “Spouse, clear!”

Early the following morning, after breakfast, the big gong in entrance of the village chief’s home rang out.

The villagers of Tie Village checked out one another, as they hadn’t heard of any bulletins earlier than. So, not in a rush to go to the fields, they headed within the path of the village chief’s home.

Cheng Yun didn’t anticipate the village chief to behave so shortly. After stuffing a meat bun into Yang Hongjin’s mouth, he grabbed one for himself they usually set off in the direction of the village chief’s home.

In only a quarter of an hour, a crowd had gathered beneath the bushes in entrance of the village chief’s home. It was uncommon for {couples} like Cheng Yun and Yang Hongjin to come back collectively. Most households despatched just one consultant, but there have been nonetheless many individuals in attendance.

Aunt Wang and Wang Liang additionally arrived. They discovered Cheng Yun and greeted him earlier than Aunt Wang whispered, “Did you go to see the village chief? Is he going to speak about our matter in the present day?”

Cheng Yun nodded. “It must be.”

Aunt Wang’s face was stuffed with anticipation, her eyes gleaming. Wang Liang beside her had the identical expression, staring intently on the village chief, amusing Cheng Yun.

Seeing that everybody had nearly arrived, the village chief wasted no time. Clearing his throat, he confidently introduced, “At the moment, I gathered everybody right here to tell you of one thing. I received’t waste your working time and will likely be direct.”

“Our village’s Cheng-Ge’er lately negotiated a cope with the proprietor of Yueqiong Tower on the town. He’ll now be supplying them with a number of greens, primarily white radishes, mustard greens, and chili peppers. Sooner or later, they might require different greens as nicely. If any of you’ve gotten extra produce to promote, you’ll be able to promote it to Cheng-Ge’er. I’ll assist decide the costs: two yuan for white radishes per catty, three yuan for mustard greens per catty, and eight yuan for chili peppers per catty. Go dwelling and calculate. When you’ve got something to promote, wash it and ship it to Cheng-Ge’er’s home.”

The village chief succinctly conveyed the message, and after listening, the folks fell momentarily silent earlier than beginning to whisper amongst themselves.

Cheng Yun stood apart, nodding in gratitude to the village chief from a distance. The folks close to him glanced at him occasionally and started whispering to the particular person subsequent to them.

Everybody was extraordinarily shocked by what the village chief had mentioned. First, they didn’t anticipate Cheng-Ge’er to have such talents. Though there have been rumors about his actions on the town, rumors had been simply rumors, and nobody took them severely. In spite of everything, who may have imagined that Cheng-Ge’er, who was seemed down upon, would have such abilities?

However now, he had efficiently negotiated an actual enterprise deal and introduced excellent news to the village. Everybody was shocked.

“What do you consider this? Might it’s pretend?”

“The village chief has spoken. Can it nonetheless be pretend? Anybody can lie, however the village chief wouldn’t deceive us.”

“Two yuan per catty for white radishes, three yuan per catty for mustard greens. That’s one yuan cheaper than what they promote on the town. Will you promote?”

“Do you suppose Cheng-Ge’er needs to purchase our produce and resell it to Yueqiong Tower?”

“Properly, it’s his capacity. Are you able to negotiate with Yueqiong Tower and safe the acquisition of our village’s white radishes and mustard greens?”

“So, are you going to promote or not? I’m not very assured, and in addition to, they promote for a better worth on the town. I can promote all of them in simply a few journeys.”

“Did you not hear? The village chief mentioned he set the costs. I suppose it’s to avoid wasting us effort and time. Anyway, I don’t care. I’ve loads of white radishes at dwelling. I’ll go ask Cheng-Ge’er later if he nonetheless wants them.”

…

Because the discussions grew extra vigorous, some who already grew these greens and had loads of inventory returned dwelling after just a few phrases to debate the matter with their households. Nevertheless, some folks had been unwilling to promote at a cheaper price, whereas many others adopted a wait-and-see perspective, meaning to see how others fared of their gross sales.

Cheng Yun didn’t care about what they thought, nor did he have the power to reply to every one. After the village chief introduced that they may disperse, he walked again dwelling with Yang Hongjin and Aunt Wang.

Upon reaching dwelling, Aunt Wang seemed nervous as not many individuals had come. Cheng Yun observed her concern and reassured her, “Don’t fear, folks will come. Moreover, even when nobody comes, I can nonetheless fetch the products from city. It’ll simply be a bit extra troublesome on the way in which.”

“However… hey…” Aunt Wang had been studying to make Sauerkraut at Cheng Yun’s home these previous few days and knew some particulars about his enterprise cope with Liu Wen. Naturally, she knew that in the event that they needed to fetch the products from city, it might value extra money than acquiring them straight from the village.

She thought for a second and mentioned, “Why don’t I’m going discuss to them? I’ve an excellent relationship with a number of households within the village. I can ask them to contribute a bit.”

Cheng Yun smiled helplessly. “It’s not mandatory. Let’s wait a bit. Perhaps…”

Earlier than he may end his sentence, a powerful man appeared not distant, carrying two baskets stuffed with white radishes.

He hurriedly approached them and stopped in entrance of the group, panting and wiping the sweat off his brow. With a touch of nervousness, he mentioned, “Cheng-Ge’er, are you shopping for white radishes? Do you suppose these are appropriate? You’ll be able to decide as many as you need, and if it’s not sufficient, I’ve extra at dwelling.”

Cheng Yun acknowledged him because the burly man who had stood not removed from him earlier, loudly proclaiming that he would promote radishes to them.

If Cheng Yun remembered appropriately, this particular person’s identify was Chen Fang, and his household relied on vegetable farming for a dwelling. Cheng Yun had seen him go to city a number of occasions earlier than and infrequently, he would additionally see him carrying greens to promote on the town.

When Cheng Yun carried out his investigation, Chen Fang was one of many focused people on his record.

There have been fairly just a few folks like him within the village who relied on promoting greens on the town. It was a tough and thankless job. They might work tirelessly all day to promote solely round ten catty of greens, barely sufficient to make ends meet. Generally, when enterprise was gradual, they’d take out a specific amount within the morning and find yourself bringing again nearly an identical quantity within the afternoon. Greens didn’t final lengthy, and the rotten ones may solely be eaten by themselves. If there was an excessive amount of, they’d find yourself incurring losses.

However now, Cheng Yun had cleared their complete inventory in a single go, saving them the difficulty of choosing and promoting. Though the promoting worth was barely decrease than on the town, contemplating the portion that might have rotted over time, they nonetheless made a revenue total. When Chen Fang heard this information, he instantly went again dwelling and knowledgeable his household. Everybody urged him to rush and decide some greens, afraid that they’d miss the chance in the event that they had been too late.

Cheng Yun smiled and agreed, asking the person to deliver the radishes to his doorstep. After a easy inspection, he weighed them utilizing a scale he had ready upfront. “This basket weighs 23.8 catties, and the opposite one weighs 25.7 catties. Let’s spherical it as much as a complete of fifty catties. One catty of white radishes prices two yuan. So, the entire involves 100 yuan. Right here, acquire the cash.”

Chen Fang couldn’t consider how easy the entire thing was. 100 yuan which might take him three or 4 days to earn on the town, was now bought , and he had the cash in his palms!

He obtained the cash handed over by Cheng Yun, tightly gripping it in his palms. Being an easy particular person, all he knew was to repeatedly bow in gratitude and assist Cheng Yun carry all of the white radishes into the home.

Cheng Yun felt a bit embarrassed by the person’s actions however didn’t cease him from serving to. If he didn’t give him one thing to do, he won’t really feel comfy.

Carrying two empty baskets, Chen Fang’s expression was now not tense like earlier than. After asking Cheng Yun if he wanted the rest and receiving the reply, “I’ll take as a lot as you deliver,” he fortunately ran again dwelling. Now, they may empty all of the gathered white radishes of their home directly!

Some individuals who had been returning dwelling after dispersing from the village chief’s place noticed this scene. Their beforehand anxious hearts immediately calmed down. They glanced at one another after which hurriedly ran dwelling, hoping to seek out some surplus greens to promote.
