Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 37 Pumpkin Pie Continues Farming (1)
There are still three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Liu plans to go to the town to buy some moon cakes in these two days. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes reunion, the second uncle's family and the fourth uncle's family who are far away in Fengyang City cannot come back. But I still have to go to my uncle's house to live with my grandparents.

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Qingli pretended to go fishing in the river. The fish in the space hadn’t been caught in the past two days, and they were crowded together again. She was really afraid that the fish would grow too big and be suspected at that time, so she looked a little bigger. All of them were hung with straw ropes and thrown into the basin. It was still the same as before, saying that they were caught in the river. This time she put a lot of mussels in the basin again.

"Why are there so many fish this time? You can save them for the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

The second sister, Qing Qiang, took the fish in the basin and cut off the grass rope. There were five fat fish in total. Seeing that the gills of the fish were still moving, she hurried to the bathtub and threw them all in. Now there are more bathtubs in her family. One function is to put fish, Qingli thinks, it's time to buy some pots, and it's better to buy another bathtub.

"This thing, why are you picking it up? It's not tasty, it's all mud."

Mo Qingqiang pointed to the tall mussels piled up at the bottom of the basin, which looked quite big, but it was not a problem, at most it could be fed to chickens and ducks.

"Second Sister, I heard from Brother Shanzi that there are pearls here that can be sold for silver, so I picked them up."

"There are a lot of these things in the river. The village has distributed all the silver that can be sold. The pearls in it are not as big as rice grains. No one in the town collects them."

Mo Qingqiang twitched her lips, that is, her sister is a money fanatic, and she treats this kind of thing as a treasure.

"I picked it up anyway, why not pry it open and have a look."

Qing Li hugged Qing Qiang and acted coquettishly, she thought to herself that her family's wealth depends on it, they are all treasures, last night she sneaked into the space and opened one, both sides of the clam meat were pearls, although it was not particularly big, but there were two It's the size of a peanut, and there are a lot of key points. Take out a part, and wait for the rest for two days. It is estimated that it can grow even bigger.

"It's too much trouble, just use an ax to chisel it."

"Don't worry, Second Sister, what if there is."

Mo Qingli broke out in a cold sweat, and with the posture of her second sister swinging the axe, if she went up with the axe, even the clam shells with pearls could turn into scum.

"You weird girl, you just have a lot of things."

Mo Qingqiang glanced at Qing Li reproachfully, but she didn't refuse. My little sister has been lucky recently, and she caught a lot of fish. Mid-Autumn Festival can save some money. Even if there is no meat to eat, it's okay, anyway, I just ate it two days ago .

"Second sister, use this iron piece to pry."

Qingli found a thick iron sheet from the kitchen, and sometimes Liu used it to peel potatoes.

"Look, you're the one doing the trick, there are no pearls."

Mo Qingqiang used all her strength to pry open the clam that had opened a little, and said something without thinking, but she was dumbfounded when she saw the pearls attached to the clam meat inside, and stammered, "Still ...There really are."

"mother……"

Mo Qingqiang's eyes were straightened, she felt that she was dreaming, she stretched out her hand, and pinched Qingli, until she heard Qingli's scream, she murmured, "It's really not a dream."

Qingli rubbed her arms, just now she patronized to watch the joke about the second sister's ignorance of the world, but was attacked by her without checking for a while, and Qingli grinned in pain.

"Mom, come here quickly!"

Mo Qingqiang finally returned to normal. Standing in the yard, she called out to Mrs. Liu, "Mom, what are you doing? Come out."

"coming!"

Mrs. Liu responded, she had a cloth towel wrapped around her head, and she was tidying up in the house. Although the house is small, tidying up is troublesome. The roof often falls on the roof, and the paper on the windows is also torn a lot. When you get up, you have to paste it quickly.

"What's wrong? Girl Qiang?"

Mrs. Liu quickly ran out of the house, and saw that the second girl and the fourth girl were standing in the yard, and no outsiders came, so she didn't understand why she was called.

"Mom, let's go into the room and talk."

The second sister, Qing Qiang, calmed down quite a bit, holding the opened mussel in her hand, she turned her head and gave Qingli a wink, and asked her to enter the room with the basin.

"Mother, please let me know first. If you bark for a while, you have to keep your voice down." Mo Qingqiang pretended to be serious, and instructed Liu Shi.

"You girl, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Liu didn't know what was going on, but she thought that the two girls wouldn't make her happy, so she agreed, "Mother will cover her mouth."

"Here, mother, look, my little sister found it in the river."

Qing Qiang handed the mussel over, Liu took a closer look, and was about to shout, but remembering her daughter's instructions, she covered her mouth with her hand and said in a low voice, "This is a pearl, it's the same size and shiny, but it's a high-grade pearl. , although it’s not too big, it’s worth a lot of silver.”

"Yeah, this time our family sent it!"

Mo Qingqiang nodded, followed by a smile, seeing Qingli holding the basin, she quickly praised her a few words.

"Little sister is really the lucky star of the family!"

"No!"

Mrs. Liu is very happy. With these pearls, even if they don't sell them, they can be used as dowry for the two girls in the future, especially Li girl, who ruined her face. If you buy silver, you can also make it into jewelry, which is very decent.

Qingli doesn't know what Liu Shi thinks, if she knows she must be moved, at this time she is pointing at the basin, and said to the ecstatic mother and second sister, "There are so many more, mother, let's quickly look at other things. Are there any?"

So, the mother and daughter, together with the little disciple Xi who was woken up, besieged the city and opened five in a row, each of which was full of pearls, some of which were even bigger. From the beginning, Mrs. Liu wanted to scream and had to cover her mouth, but in the end she became more and more calm, and the second sister Qing Qiang did the same, just buried her head and continued to pry the mussel.

After prying out all the mussels in the basin, there was already a small bag full of pearls. Mrs. Liu kept some big ones out, and she said she would keep them.The eyes of the second sister Qing Qiang were all red, and she wanted to go to the river to pick up mussels with a basin. Shi is sensible, and he can't be foolish if he takes advantage of it.

"Mother, it's a pity that these are sold in the town, they should go to the county."

"Yes, mother, there is Xu Ji, a jewelry store in our town, which is not bad, but it has a bad reputation."

Qing Qiang also agreed, and these pearls can be found at a reputable and time-honored jewelry store in the county, and the price can be much higher.

"Well, I have to ask your father what he means. Mother is not good at going by herself even if she is a woman."

Looking at the Mid-Autumn Festival, taking advantage of selling the pearls before, the family can make a fortune, and can be more filial to the elderly. Finally, Liu decided to take the second sister to the town to discuss with his father in the afternoon.
