Chapter 109: Chuunibyou
"I always wanted to express my gratitude to her in person, but I never had the chance to meet her. I didn't expect that she was such a smart and capable little girl."
As Zhou Yang spoke, he paid attention to Bai Dashan's expression and continued, "Your caravan didn't raise the price of grain before, and you are willing to accept crayfish today. Both of these are great acts of kindness."
"I am just a rough man, and I don't want to disturb the little girl. I hope Manager Bai can help convey my family's gratitude."
Just at this moment, the Zhou family members who were waiting not far away saw that it was almost Zhou Yang's turn, so they hurriedly pushed the large sack full of crayfish over on a wheelbarrow.
"Hello, Shopkeeper Bai."
"We're here to exchange for food."
In response to the Zhou family’s enthusiastic greetings, Bai Dashan nodded.
Zhou Yang: "Then I'll get busy first, so as not to delay the people in line behind me. By the way, Mr. Bai, please remember to convey our gratitude to me."
Although Bai Dashan still had some doubts, his expression eased a little at this time: "Okay, I will help you convey it."
Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief after Bai Dashan walked away.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"What did you just say to Shopkeeper Bai? He seemed so serious. We didn't dare to come over to disturb him."
Zhou Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head: "Nothing."
The next second he hurriedly reminded them: "I'm telling you, in the future, when you meet people from the Baijiabao caravan, young and old, especially young girls, you must be respectful and have a good attitude. Don't offend them."
Zhou Yang originally wanted to say that the great-aunt of the Baijiabao caravan was a little baby, but then he thought that the family might not know which one it was.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong in being nice to the people from the Baijiabao caravan. Who knows what generation that girl is? What if she's the daughter of the shopkeeper or the manager?
Zhou Qing: "Brother, look at what you said, we are not stupid."
Baijiabao is a big caravan. They exchanged so much food for useless crayfish. Everyone would want to curry favor with them, let alone offend them.
Zhou Yang was giving instructions to his family, while Bai Dashan also did not forget to give instructions to the people in Taohua Village.
"We are not in the village now. We are walking outside. There are many people around. We must pay attention to the safety of the aunt."
"Everyone must be very careful. Treat everyone who is not from Taohua Village with the same care as you would treat a bad guy. Be careful not to let a carelessness put me in danger."
"Village leader, we know."
"That's right, Village Chief. If anyone dares to harm our aunt, I will tear his head off."
"Yes, I'll let him taste what three cuts and six holes mean!" Bai Dacheng clenched his fist and waved it.
At the side, Bai Dashan's mouth twitched. This three slashes and six holes was from a story my aunt told me last time. It said that the leader of the Beggars' Sect was very loyal, and then he slashed himself with three slashes and six holes...
After hearing this, the villagers always mentioned the three knives and six holes whenever they talked about something, which made Bai Dashan speechless.
This should be what my aunt calls "Chuunibyou" (secondary disease), right? !
Bai Tao brought food to visit the busy villagers. Before leaving, she saw that people were still coming in an endless stream, so she ordered that no one should line up to exchange food after four o'clock.
"If the restrictions are not enforced sooner rather than later, I'm sure there will be more people lining up after dark."
Bai Tao reminded: "The stall will open at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, you have to come back early today to eat and rest."
Bai Dashan agreed, and when it was almost afternoon, he started to send people to stop people at the end of the team. Since ancient times, such things are bound to cause trouble and entanglement.
Just like in modern times, there are always people who like to run to do business when others are off work, even if they have already closed the gate and turned off the lights, they still shout that people must open the door, otherwise they will complain...
Now, some people at the end of the team of the five sheds began to become relentless.
"No, why don't you take them? If you didn't want to take them, why didn't you tell me earlier? I've already picked up so much. I don't care. You have to take them all. I can't do this for nothing!"
"otherwise……"
Bai Youcai glanced at the man who seemed to want to say something harsh, picked up a stone bigger than his fist from the ground, broke it gently, and said nothing, just looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
The person who was shouting just now was immediately frightened and shrank back: "You, you, you, what do you want to do? I tell you, so many people are watching, don't try to hurt anyone."
The people around him also shrank their necks in fear, quickly averted their eyes, and subconsciously moved away from the man, for fear that Bai Youcai would think they were in the same group.
"Heh~" Bai Youcai chuckled with a look of contempt, as if to say, "I don't want to bother with you."
There are also people who try to be soft-hearted and start by saying nice things in a pitiful way.
"Young man, please be kind and let me join you. I only have two sacks and can weigh them quickly. I won't delay your rest time."
"Yes, yes. And we have even less, just two loads of frames."
Bai Youcai: "No, no! It's time to close. By the time these people in the line are done, it will be dark. Besides, if we let half of you go, the others will rush over as well."
As he spoke, he glanced around and saw that there were people waiting around carrying bamboo baskets and pushing carts.
When these people met Bai Youcai's gaze, they either smiled ingratiatingly or turned their faces away in embarrassment as they were criticized.
Of course, the person who was rejected would glare at the person next to him angrily and say, "It's all your fault. Why are you crowding here? You've prevented me from selling anything."
The person being glared at was not used to this kind of behavior, and he immediately glared back in dissatisfaction. If Bai Youcai had not been there, the argument would probably have turned into a fight.
Bai Youcai looked at this scene and still didn't let go. My aunt said, being outside is different from being in the village, you have to have principles in doing things.
There is no order without rules. He can't just agree to something just because someone else is begging him, otherwise other villagers who could have closed their shop would have to work overtime because of him.
The most important thing is that my aunt must be waiting for everyone to come back for dinner in the inn. It doesn’t matter if he wastes time, but it is a big sin to make my aunt wait.
Besides, what if our group goes back late and misses the chance to listen to my aunt’s stories?
Seeing that Bai Youcai was not moved by any persuasion, the people nearby interrupted him anxiously.
"But, we worked so hard to pick it up, why do you just say you don't want it..."
Bai Youcai saw that someone was trying to make a scene again, and immediately frowned: "What are you shouting about? Do you want to show off your loud voice?"
"What do you mean you don't want it? It's just something you picked up on the ground for free. Do you want to force us to accept your stuff?" Bai Youcai said with a gloomy face.
If I didn't ask for so much, would it be your turn to have the chance to exchange for food?
This is what I call moral kidnapping, right?!
Bai Youcai glanced around with a warning look: "If anyone throws a tantrum at me again, I will make a note of that person and won't accept his stuff tomorrow!"
