Ruirui and Feifei caught two bamboo partridges weighing more than one kilogram and found more than ten pheasant eggs.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xuemei took her two younger brothers home.
As soon as they got home, Ruirui and Feifei put down the firewood and backpack, and Xuemei took out the two pheasants from her sack bag and asked the two brothers to put the two pheasants with tied wings into the chicken coop and lock it up, while the other took out the pheasant eggs hidden in the pig grass and put them into the house.
Xuemei brought a low stool over, intending to pick some mushrooms, and was just sitting there when Qingya came out of the room.
"Sister, you found so many mushrooms today? You must have sold them to the supply and marketing cooperative for five or six yuan! It was really worth it to go to the mountain today!" Qingya also squatted down and picked up the mushrooms.
"Nowadays, shiitake mushrooms are worth at least 20 cents per pound. After picking up all the mushrooms in this basket, there should still be more than 20 pounds left. That's at least five yuan, no more, no less!" Xuemei estimated and said.
"Second sister, we also caught two pheasants and picked up more than ten pheasant eggs?" Ruirui said proudly.
"Really? If I had known earlier, I would have gone too. You and Feifei could have gotten at least one yuan each today!" Qingya said a little disappointedly.

"Sister, tell me the truth!" Qingya asked Xuemei.
Xuemei replied seriously, "It couldn't be more true. It all depends on whether you can do it! Don't even mention five dollars, I'd give you ten."
As soon as Xuemei finished speaking, Qingya put down the mushrooms in her hand, stood up, clapped her hands, and ran back to her room. Soon, the sound of Qingya reading could be heard from inside the room.
Xuemei and the other two who were outside heard this and started laughing too.
"It turns out that my second sister's motivation for studying hard is money!" Ruirui joked.
"Don't make fun of your second sister, be careful not to be heard by her!" Xuemei kicked Ruirui's foot.
