Yun Huaying, who was always on the lips of the grandfather and grandson, was eating with great relish at this moment. She drank two large bowls of rice tonight. The three of them had good appetites and finished all the dishes.
After washing the dishes and cleaning up the pheasant, the three of them took a shower one after another, then closed the door and sat in Yun Huaying and the others' room to hold a meeting.
We used to use a kerosene lamp, and the light in the room was very dim. Tonight I used the table lamp bought by Yun Huaying, and the light was much brighter.
The three heads came together, Yun Huaying drew sketches and explained at the same time, and a sketch came out in just ten minutes.
"The three of us were educated youth, and this time we chose to depict farmers and rural areas from their perspective. We didn't use the usual all-cartoon propaganda style. Instead, we focused on depicting rural scenery, farmers working, neighbors getting along harmoniously, and rural children playing and laughing."
"Lin Shan and I will be responsible for scouting the scenery and drawing the pictures, while Jiang Yuan, you will be responsible for the text. We won't use long descriptions, but rather the short modern poetry form that you are best at, or simple short sentences."
The two listened attentively, and Jiang Yuan asked, "Short sentence? Can you give an example?"
"For example, the other day I said, 'What we seek in life is poetry, distant places, and three meals a day and four seasons.' This is a short sentence, not many words, but it can express the artistic conception and ideals."
Jiang Yuan understood, nodded, and said with a smile, "You two are both high school students, and you are very cultured people. Sometimes the short sentences you say are particularly profound. You also need to help with the next creation."
"When we are united, we can achieve great things!" Lin Shan stretched out her right fist.
Yun Huaying chuckled and bumped fists with hers: "Let's work together for a win-win cooperation!"
"hehe..."
Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan both laughed and shouted together, "Win-win cooperation!"
The three of them reached a cooperation and had a common desire to make money. This was like a shot of chicken blood. The three of them were very excited and devoted themselves to the creation.
At ten o'clock sharp, Yun Huaying used the alarm clock as a reminder: "Okay, let's stop here for tonight and come back to finish the work tomorrow during the day."
Jiang Yuan also put away her notebook and said, "Tomorrow I will go to Uncle Zhao and ask him to help us get another desk. You guys need a big table for painting."
"Okay, I'll go find him tomorrow. Go back to the house and get some rest."
Uncle Zhao had sent the wooden bed over before. Now Lin Shan and Yun Huaying lived in the same room, but slept separately. They both made mosquito nets with old cloth brought from home, which kept out mosquitoes while also giving them their own private space.
Yun Huaying didn't actually sleep in bed at night. After Lin Shan fell asleep, she slipped into the space.
The vitality of weeds is no exaggeration. She has been throwing several tons of weeds into her spiritual eyes every day recently. The various strong-vitality thorns and trees she collected in the mountains in the morning are also growing vigorously. Figs, wax gourds, oranges and other fruit trees are also planted in the small orchard that has been opened up separately.
These fruit trees were planted with the seeds and cores left over from the fruits she had eaten. Thinking that fruits were scarce and expensive now, she planned to plant more apples and pears. There would definitely be people at the port to buy them.
I had previously used my mind to dig a pond in space and brought water from the river into it. Now the ducks I raised are playing in the pond.
It had only been a week in the outside world, but the chickens and ducks in the space had already been raised for half a year and had started laying eggs a long time ago. Now the basket in the corner was filled with nearly two hundred chicken and duck eggs. She planned to keep some for hatching chicks and ducklings, and sell the rest on the black market.
The next morning, I went to work feeling refreshed.
Yun Huaying rarely joined in on the gossip and tried her best to avoid talkative people like Mrs. Wang, but this morning she took the initiative to approach her, "Aunt, are you free? I'd like to ask you for a favor."
She suddenly came to see Wang Sao, and she was stunned for a moment, but she immediately changed her face into a smile: "I'm free, I'm free. Yun Zhiqing, what do you want to say?"
"Let's talk over there." Yun Huaying pointed to the camphor tree not far away.
"OK."
Mrs. Wang had a feeling that something good was going to happen, so she immediately followed.
The villagers were so curious that even when they left, someone would prick up their ears to eavesdrop. Yun Huaying lowered her voice and spoke quickly, "Aunt, an acquaintance of mine in the county town wants fifty bamboo baskets, the same large ones I bought from you last time. Will you take the order?"
"Take it!" Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up brighter than a light bulb, and she was very excited: "When do you want it?"
"Can it be completed within half a month?"
"able."
Mrs. Wang didn't waste a second and told her with a smile, "My husband is very good at weaving bamboo baskets, and both of my sons can do it too. We women can help cut the bamboo strips and make them. I guarantee it will be done within half a month."
Yun Huaying pulled out a reunion note from her pocket and gave it to her as a deposit. She said in a voice that both of them could hear, "I'll give you ten yuan first. You don't have to pay it all at once; you can deliver it in batches. But you absolutely cannot let anyone know that I bought it."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell my parents that someone wants five of them, and I'll secretly send them to you."
Mrs. Wang likes to ask questions, but she doesn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Fifty bamboo baskets are a big business for her family, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to make trouble and ruin the deal.
"If someone asks you about it later, just say that I came to you to exchange food, eggs and vegetables." Yun Huaying agreed with her.
Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, Auntie understands."
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them separated, Mrs. Wang was surrounded by the women in the village. She was good at getting information, and the others were not much worse. They soon found out from her that Yun Huaying wanted to exchange food and vegetables with her. Then, some families who still had enough food came to find her immediately.
Yun Huaying deliberately let Aunt Wang spread the word, hoping to exchange for something else. So she told them, "Aunts and aunts, I just ordered some food from Aunt Wang. We were given 35 kilograms of food when we first arrived. It's barely enough for this month. I'll come back to you next month to buy food. But if you have cotton or dried vegetables, I can exchange some with you now."
"Yun Zhiqing, how much cotton do you want?" one of the women asked immediately.
"Seven or eight kilograms, or even ten kilograms, will do. I need to make cotton clothes for the winter, and I also want to prepare a thicker quilt."
There were actually quilts and cotton clothes in Yun Huaying's space. She had packed up all these things from home and brought them here. They were all new and were the dowries that Li Hongxia had prepared for Fang Xue and Fang Shuang in advance.
She went to her neighbors to exchange cotton today. She was indeed planning to make new cotton clothes and quilts, but not for her own use. Instead, she wanted to mail them to her uncle's family far away in Sichuan Province.
"Yun Zhiqing, my family can spare three kilograms of cotton."
"I also have three pounds at home."
"My family's about two kilograms."
“…”
Everyone was talking at once, and Yun Huaying was a little overwhelmed. She quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll come to you to exchange it later."
