Chapter 44 Collecting Shells

Putting the shovel by the door and scooping up half a basin of water, Yun Shu took the scoop to water the vegetable garden.This water is hard-won, so she has to "feed" it bit by bit with a scoop, so she can't be lazy and waste water.

When Wang Han came back almost halfway through the watering, Yun Shu quickly grabbed the pole and said like a cannonball: "Brother Wang Han, this water is enough, don't pick it up anymore. Isn't our village going to the mountains? Has the spring water been brought in? When the time comes, we will be closer to the water, so we won't have to work so hard to carry water!"

She deliberately brought up the matter of water diversion, just to remind Wang Han that he no longer had to go to the south of the village to fetch water, and he didn't have to work so hard.

Nodding his head, Wang Han poured two buckets of water into the big urn and said, "If we can bring down the spring water from the mountain this time, it will be much more convenient for us to use water in the future. All right, Auntie Shu'er, get busy. I went to work in the fields."

"Drink some water before you go, I'll pour it all for you." Luo Qingyi quickly chased him out with a tea bowl in hand.

But Wang Han had already walked a long way with the shovel on his shoulders: "No need, I drank by the river just now. Auntie, I'm leaving."

"Oh, this child!" Luo Qingyi stomped her feet anxiously, and turned her head to look at her daughter with some resentment. If it was possible, she really wanted to break Yun Shu's head off and take a look. Such a good boy, why does this girl just look at her? Not on it!

Pretending not to understand the meaning in Luo Qingyi's eyes, Yun Shu continued to water.

The seeds of this vegetable grow very fast, and within a few days of planting, seedlings have emerged!
The little girl Yunxin also carried her own small bucket, holding up a small ladle that her father specially made for her, and watered it bit by bit.Her movements were not as fast as her sister's, and Yun Xin even told her to slow down.

Leaving a small piece of land for the little girl to water, Yun Shu smiled and went up the mountain with a bamboo basket on her back. She had to go up the mountain to see if Meng Xiangdong's mechanism was working.

Needless to say, this time it was really rewarding.There are three rabbits, one pheasant, and unfortunately another rooster. It is impossible to keep them.

After putting the prey into the sacks prepared in advance, and rearranging the organs according to Meng Xiangdong's previous actions, Yun Shu went down the mountain with the sacks on his shoulders.

Don't underestimate these prey, they are really heavy enough to carry!

Patting the messy sacks, Yun Shu pretended to reprimand: "Be honest! I will bring you to the real place tomorrow, and you should be able to sell them for a lot of money. By the way, I must find a restaurant to sell them this time. You can’t sell it by yourself like last time.”

She remembered Sister-in-law Yang's instructions, and while walking, she was thinking about where to find a restaurant to sell these rabbits and pheasants tomorrow!

When I went down the mountain, I deliberately picked a lot of round lumps. Although the water will be diverted tomorrow, she doesn’t have to work with her as a girl. As long as she comes back in the afternoon, she will follow the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village to deliver to the men who are working. A little water will do.

Fortunately, the place where the round pimple grows is not with the mountain spring, and it is not on the way, otherwise Yun Shu is really worried about how she should come quietly to pick the fruit these days!

The jam business is much better than expected, Yun Shu decided to make more in the future and sell them, and the fruit period of the round lumps is not too long, and the mature fruit will wilt and break the skin in two or three days Oh, and some will invite ants to eat sweet juice, which looks very disgusting.

Today Yun Shu picked a whole basket of round pimples, but she believed that when she came to pick them tomorrow, those half-ripe fruits must be fully ripe.

Covering the fruit with a clean cloth, Yun Shu went down the mountain with the sack on his shoulders.

The hare and pheasant were kept in the sack and were not released. The hen pheasant exploded when she heard the sound of her companion, and kept running back and forth in the cage.

Luo Qingyi and Yun Xin looked at each other very distressed, and Yun Shu couldn't bear it, and comforted her softly: "I have no choice but to arrest you to support the family. Don't worry, I won't do it when my business stabilizes." I will go to the mountains to catch you again."

The hen must not have understood Yun Shu's words, she was still flapping her wings and cooing.Yun Shu had no choice but to carry the sack into the shack and close the door tightly, so the hen finally stopped.

Put the round pimples into two large basins to wash them clean, and covered them with a cloth to prevent flies. Yun Shu then carried the shovel and prepared to go to work in the field.

The soybean seeds she bought are not as troublesome as rice, so she can just turn over the land and plant them in, so she wants to quickly turn over the three acres of land again when she has nothing to do in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, before he even went out, he saw several aunts walking towards him.

"Shu girl, are you going out? Isn't it time for us to come?"

"Hey, I came here as soon as I heard that Miss Shu was collecting shells. I didn't know you were going out to work!"

Yun Shu slapped his forehead, how could she forget about this?No wonder so many people came to her, it was because of collecting shells.

"It's okay, it's okay, aunts, come in quickly, I'll collect the shells right away." Yun Shu quickly put the shovel behind the door, and let a few aunts in.

Luo Qingyi was making clothes in the room, and when she saw so many people suddenly coming to the house, she was so shocked that she hurried out, fearing that something might happen.

Yun Shu was afraid that she would be overwhelmed, so he told the aunts to sit down casually while telling Luo Qingyi about collecting shells.

Now Luo Qingyi was even more surprised. After Yun Xin came back, she only said that her shells were sold for a huge price, but she didn't mention that there was still a matter of collecting shells!
If she had known about this earlier, Luo Qingyi would never have approved of her daughter spending money to collect that thing.One is that this thing is really worthless, and it may not be sold if it is collected.The second is that the shells made money today, who knows if they will make money tomorrow, and spending money to collect shells rashly, isn't it just looking for something for themselves?

But now that everyone has come to the door, she naturally can't say anything, and can only greet everyone with her daughter.

She didn't make any preparations before, Yun Shu found a few baskets in the shack and started to collect shells. By the way, she also picked up a stone with sharp corners to make a pen.

"Aunts, you all know my previous price, right? But I'd like to say something up front, the shells I said are all exquisite, they can't be broken or dirty, they have to be clean and intact."

Yun Shu emphasized her request again, because she was from the same village, and she didn't want to freeze everyone's relationship because of such a trivial matter as collecting shells.

An aunt poured her shells in front of Yun Shu, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl Shu, I know all about it. After I heard that you collected shells, I immediately went home and found them, and went to the beach specially Wash it! Make sure everyone is clean and complete! If you don’t believe me, take a look!”

Yun Shu probed over to have a look, and sure enough, all of them were clean and complete, but the size of the head was really not flattering.

Taking out the samples she had prepared in advance, Yun Shu said again: "Aunts, the size of the shells I collect are all according to this standard. We are all from the same village, so don't do it just because of this little money." Oh no."

The aunts immediately nodded in agreement.

Yun Shu glanced at her aunt in front of her, and then picked her shells one by one.

This aunt's shells were more medium-sized, and there were only a few big ones. The total added up to thirteen coins, and Yun Shu directly gave her fifteen coins.

"Auntie, you are the first batch of people who came to support me. Today I will give you two extra papers. You will have to help me promote more in the future! There is a limit on the number of shells I collect. If Don’t be too late if you’re late!”

Yun Shu put the picked shells into three baskets according to their size, and beckoned for the second aunt to come over.

This aunt is Meng Huaihua's mother Li Shi. Speaking of which, Huaihua's family is still related to the old village head!

Meng Huaihua's grandfather is the younger brother of the old village chief, so she and Meng Xiangdong are also cousins.

There were three small bags in the basket on Li's back. After she opened the small bags one by one, Yun Shu realized that she had divided the shells by size in advance.

This saved her a lot of trouble. While picking up the shells, Yun Shu said, "Auntie, Huai Hua hasn't come back from town yet?"
