In the blink of an eye, Shiyue earned seventy-five yuan, and she was very satisfied.
After all, the money was relatively easy to earn, and she didn't even have time to clean the seaweed.
She actually sent that inquiry just now with the idea of giving it a try, mainly to see if it would work.
Obviously, it is possible.
However, Shiyue also had some regrets. She felt that if she had tidied up the seaweed a little according to the instructions on the curtain, the price could have been higher.
After selling these dozen or so strips of kelp, Shiyue took some more from the yard and put them in the hut.
This way, if someone continues the queue, the transaction can continue without her intervention.
While Shiyue was busy with these things, He Lixuan was engrossed in reading.
Because the books he bought were all published in the 1960s, he easily brought them out of the small house.
After finishing all that, Shiyue and her companion carried the fish and shrimp they had bought to the old man's house.
When they arrived, He Lixue and Professor Liang had already finished eating.
He Lixue was taking the bowls and chopsticks into the sink.
Seeing them, He Lixue smiled and said, "Just got up?"
He Lixuan didn't respond to that, but instead excitedly waved the book in his hand and said, "Second Brother, look what I found!"
He Lixue glanced at the cover of the book he was holding with a smile, then paused, and asked, "Where did you find this?"
He Lixuan said, "From Shiyue. She had previously collected some books for Uncle Shen, and this is one of them."
Shiyue chimed in from the side: "This time when Brother Feiyi went to pick them up, he only took the batch he thought was important, and left many others for us. Especially some technical books, Uncle Shen said he had no use for them, so he gave them all to Lixuan."
This was the explanation the couple had prepared at home.
He Lixue immediately believed it.
You should know that he and Professor Liang obtained the livestock breeding book from Shiyue.
It was thanks to those books that they were able to stay in the Forward Brigade.
He thought for a moment, then asked somewhat shyly, "Could you help me check if these books are inside?"
He then named several books.
“Sure. I’ll look through it for you when we get back,” Shiyue said generously.
The thought of how far Shiyue had traveled and how she had carried all those heavy books on her back made He Lixue's gaze change.
I've become much more respectful.
When the two had almost finished their meal, Liang Yueming arrived with her daughter, who had just woken up.
Jiajia's eyes were still closed, but she began to urge, "Hurry up, hurry up."
Shiyue couldn't help but chuckle.
She reached out and touched the little girl's braids, asking, "What's the rush? What urgent matter could you possibly have so early in the morning?"
Liang Yueming glared at her daughter before explaining, "She made plans with Hu Zi and Niu Niu to go to someone's house to play. She started urging me as soon as she opened her eyes."
I told her that Tiger and Niu Niu might not even be up yet, and to be patient, but she wouldn't listen.
Look at how sleepy he is, his eyes are practically closed, but he still wants to play!
After listening to her mother, Jiajia rubbed her eyes vigorously with her hands, trying to open them wide.
His little actions made all the adults laugh.
After finishing their meal, the men gathered together to discuss their affairs, while Shiyue and Liang Yueming began preparing lunch.
When He Siyi came out to pour water, he saw Shiyue taking the fish into the pool and preparing to clean them up, so he stopped her and told her about the living expenses plan they had discussed that morning.
Shiyue did not object.
Anyway, the money belongs to the elderly, so they can spend it however they want.
Besides, they're not just a small family anymore; several small families are now living together as one big family, so they need to be even more careful when offering opinions or suggestions regarding money.
He Si was very satisfied to see that Shi Yue had agreed.
I feel like I've solved a problem.
So he said, "Shiyue, go to the camp's vegetable garden later and buy some vegetables. There are many kinds of vegetables here, so buy more; they're quite delicious."
Hearing her father-in-law say this, Liang Yueming quickly took the fish from Shiyue's hands and said, "You go now, I'll clean the fish. Let's have braised yellow croaker for lunch, it's been a long time since we've had this dish, I'll make it!"
It's not that she hasn't eaten Shiyue in a long time; she hasn't eaten it at all.
I had no idea what to do next.
So she immediately stepped aside and left home carrying a vegetable basket.
Yesterday, when Cui Yun showed her around, she specifically went to the vegetable garden, so she knew the way.
We arrived at our destination in just a few minutes.
It was called a vegetable garden, but it was actually a plot of land behind the camp that the soldiers had set up, and they were responsible for both planting and harvesting it.
Then they built a long fence around the vegetable garden to prevent anyone from coming to steal the vegetables.
When Shiyue arrived, two young soldiers were picking cucumbers in the vegetable garden.
She explained her purpose, and the young soldier immediately and enthusiastically led her around the vegetable garden, saying that the battalion commander had already instructed her to come anytime.
In October, she picked out four or five pounds of cucumbers and bought a dozen tomatoes.
I also selected several other kinds of vegetables, and only after filling the big basket to the brim did I carry it home.
When she arrived home, Liang Yueming had already prepared the fish and shrimp.
Shiyue washed a plate of tomatoes and cucumbers and brought them in for the men to eat as fruit.
Then he took a cucumber, broke it in two, kept one half for himself, and handed the other half to Liang Yueming.
Then she asked, "Where's Jiajia? Hasn't she come back from playing yet?"
Liang Yueming said, "She went to town with the cooks along with the two from Sister Cui's family. They said they were going there to buy vegetables."
Sigh, this girl has been having a blast since she came here, she's so happy every day.
I woke up laughing from a dream last night!
Liang Yueming smiled, but a pang of sadness welled up inside her.
When she was in Jiannan, she had forgotten when she had ever felt this kind of joy with her daughter.
Because of her husband and daughter-in-law, Jiajia lived a very cautious life at her maternal grandmother's house.
Not only are they bullied every day, but they also have to put up with everyone else's attitude.
They even speak in a whisper.
Thinking that her children will be able to stand tall and be proud in the future, Liang Yueming felt that no matter how hot it was or how much she suffered from acclimatization problems, it wouldn't be a problem!
But Shiyue was drawn to her words, "I'm going to town to buy groceries."
She asked, "Are there many vegetables in town? Doesn't the camp grow a lot of vegetables? Why do we need to go to town to buy them?"
Liang Yueming laughed: "How would I know? But I think their vegetable garden isn't very big, so I guess they don't grow a wide variety of vegetables."
Or perhaps they'd go buy rice and oil. They can't be self-sufficient in those things either!
Shiyue nodded, agreeing with her sister-in-law's reasoning.
If that's the case, then could she also find an opportunity to go to town and have a look?
