Chapter 51 Sharing the money, and encountering another big melon?

"Yes, and second brother, I said that our family was missing something." Liu Sanchuan reacted at this time and put down the peeled garlic: "I'll go to the old house to wait for second brother, he should be back by now."

"Thank you so much that you still thought of picking me up." Liu Erjiang pushed his bicycle and waved helplessly at the gate of the yard: "I'm already here, continue to peel your garlic."

Liu Sanchuan touched his head awkwardly: "Haha, second brother, look how well we have cleaned up here, just waiting for you to come back, come in and take a look."

"Second brother, you must be tired, come, sit down, your sister will bring you some water." Liu Xinghe stood up with a wry smile, carried a stool over, and poured a glass of lychee and handed it over.

Liu Erjiang parked his bike and sat comfortably to take the enamel cup. Liu Sanchuan patted his second brother's shoulders, pressed them, and handed him a towel to wipe his sweat. Liu Xinghe picked up a big cattail leaf fan to fan his sweaty second brother. Liu Erjiang sighed with satisfaction.

"Third brother, take the meat in the basket into the house and ask our mom and dad what they want to do. If they don't ask, pickle it with salt. Don't let the meat get smelly in this hot weather."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Liu Sanchuan picked up the sack and ran towards the kitchen.

Liu Erjiang stood up and took Liu Xinghe to the house. He happily took out a bundle of money from his inner lining, opened it, and began to count the composition of the money.

"Little sister, the quality of our wild boar this time is good. My friend gave us 10 cents per pound of pork and 40 cents per pound of bones. The net meat of our pig is 95 pounds and the bones are 15 pounds. The total is 110 yuan and 50 cents."

Liu Erjiang took out 110.5 yuan and put it aside. He took the next stack of money and continued:

"The snake meat is 50 cents per pound. The net meat of the snake is 194 pounds, which is sold for 97 yuan. The snake skin is sold for 15 yuan, a total of 112 yuan."

"And I didn't sell the three rabbits and two pheasants this time. I brought them back to keep for our family to eat slowly. So this time we got a good harvest in the mountains. We earned a total of 222.5 yuan. Here they are. Come on, let's divide the money."

"Wow, we made so much money." Liu Xinghe stared at the unexpected money with shining eyes.

Sure enough, hunters in this era will not worry about having no food to eat. In terms of the importance of a skill, if you have a good hunting skill, plus good courage and good luck, it is simply the best way to make money. Killing the prey means making money.

Liu Xinghe was thinking that there were a lot of prey on Tiefeng Mountain, and that was all money. She would leave the two wild boars in her space and go to the mountain more often in the future.

The meat in the black market was sold at about 1.6 yuan per pound. It was quite nice that the friend my second brother knew could buy it for 1.1 yuan. It was not too shady, and there was a fixed recipient, which was much safer than going to the black market by myself.

My second brother was really amazing. When others solved the problem of food and clothing, the Liu family had already moved towards a well-off life.

"Well, we were lucky this time. We got two big batches." Liu Erjiang narrowed his eyes and handed the money from selling snake meat directly to Liu Xinghe: "You have made a great contribution this time, little sister. Take it. I hope we will have better luck in the future and save more money."

Liu Xinghe took the money happily, counted 74 yuan and held it in her hand, and handed the rest back.

"Brother, I know you have to give half of the money to the family, so let's divide the money into three parts, and I'll take one of them. I'm also a member of the family, and I'll come home often for meals in the future. This is my contribution, and we should work together as a family."

When Liu Erjiang heard his sister say so much, he took the money readily: "Okay, then brother, take it and give it to our mother. She will be very happy."

After speaking, Liu Erjiang took the money to the kitchen to find Ning Xiuyun and handed over 74.5 yuan, and specifically told her that the money included part of what his sister handed over.

Ning Xiuyun's first reaction was to ask him to return the money. After listening to what Liu Xinghe said relayed by Liu Erjiang, she accepted the money. She was moved and happy. She took the money and showed off to her wife who was cooking next to her: "Qingshan, our daughter has grown up. Look, she can support the family now. It's better to raise a daughter."

"Well, our daughter is good to begin with. You should accept the money from the child. We should take care of the child more in life." Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile on his face. He was quite proud. His own children were still better. They were more promising than the children of his eldest and second brothers.

Then, Liu Qingshan took the dishes he had cooked off the stove and turned around to shout, "Old Third, clear the table and eat."

"I'm coming." Liu Sanchuan ran over quickly, "Wow, there are so many meat dishes today."

"Let's have a good meal today." Liu Qingshan brought the lettuce leaves and pork soup to the table.

"Oh, there's pork soup." Liu Xinghe washed his hands and sat down excitedly.

After moving, they no longer had to hide their meat. Liu Qingshan even cooked several meat dishes and cooked soup.

After everyone sat down, Liu Qingshan picked up the enamel pot on the table and lifted it up.

"Come, celebrate our complete separation. In the future, we will have a house that truly belongs to our family. I hope that our four children will get better and better, and that our family will run towards a better life and strive to eat meat every day."

"Eat meat every day!"

The family members of the third branch of the Liu family raised their enamel cups and clinked them before eating this sumptuous lunch.

As soon as lunch was over, Liu Qingshan started to go to the team to invite people to help build the house.

Liu Xinghe pushed her bicycle back to the Youth League Home and encountered a lot of excitement on the way. A bunch of people surrounded her.

Looking around, she didn't see anyone quarreling or fighting or any excitement!

She only saw the crowd eating melons but not the protagonist.

Could it be that she came too late and missed the excitement?

Her gossipy heart was instantly suspended, scratching her heart and itching.

What on earth is going on? What gossip happened?

These people came out to gossip with their bowls in hand, it must be a big news.

Liu Xinghe stopped, pushed the bike to the shade of a tree where many people were standing, leaned on her footrests, sat on the bike and looked ahead, but didn't see anything.

So, she turned around and asked the auntie beside her: "Auntie Yang, what are they talking about? Do you know the situation?"

"It seems to be about your cousin and cousin. I heard that your cousin found a job in town. I don't know the details yet, and I just got here." After Auntie Yang finished speaking, she picked up the bowl and took a bite of lunch. She finished the food in the bowl in a few bites, and was holding the bowl to find a team to join and get some news.

Liu Xinghe was surprised. Was it about her cousin Liu Shiyu again? Cousin? Could it be Liu Qingyu?

Could it be that the heroine Liu Shiyu has started the fighting mode again?

This made Liu Xinghe even more itchy. Where the heroine was, there would be more liveliness. He regretted that he was a step late and missed this big show.

Cheng Yunxiao, who was watching the show and preparing to go back, heard Liu Xinghe's voice, his eyes lit up, stopped his steps, and moved over with melon seeds in his pocket, maintaining a normal social distance.

"Liu Zhiqing, I came early, but I know some news."

"Cheng Zhiqing, you are here too, tell me what gossip it is." Liu Xinghe's gossipy eyes instantly looked at Cheng Yunxiao, urging him to speak quickly.

Cheng Yunxiao grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and handed them over: "Come, eat some melon seeds, let's talk while eating."

"Thank you, Cheng Zhiqing." Liu Xinghe took the melon seeds and cracked them, looking at him without blinking, waiting for him to speak.

Cheng Yunxiao was very happy. Fortunately, he passed by here when he came back from checking the fish baskets placed by the river. He happened to see the three people meeting each other, so he knew the most and the most complete information.

He began to talk while cracking melon seeds:

"Your cousin, the one called Liu Qingyu, came back with his girlfriend. On the way, he happened to meet your cousin who was holding her household registration booklet and was about to go to the paper box factory in the town to handle the employment procedures. The girl your cousin brought back was inexplicably a little anxious and tried to stop your cousin from leaving. But Liu Shiyu was not so easy to stop. He pushed her away and started to make a fuss."

A group of people had gathered around and were listening with great interest. When Cheng Yunxiao stopped, they urged anxiously:

"Cheng Zhiqing, tell us quickly, what else is there? What's the fuss about?"

Liu Xinghe paused while cracking melon seeds. These aunties really loved gossip and would not miss any news.
