Chapter 135 It feels like picking up money
Jiangxin Baiyang and Jinsheng looked at each other and immediately ran towards the place where the sound came from.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Jiang Xinbai ran fast and soon reached the place where the sound came from.
Li Lele looked at the big guy running over with some embarrassment, "Sorry, Xiang Ming was about to go in just now, but he accidentally stepped on empty space, and I was scared all of a sudden..."
"Oh, I was so scared. I thought I was bitten by a snake!" Jiang Xinbai patted her chest quickly after hearing this. The scream really scared her to death.
Jiang Xinlan and Zhao Yitai also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that he's okay. We were so scared."
"Hiss, ouch, my foot is pinched," Yang Jinsheng, who was two steps slower, bared his teeth and jumped over.
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why don't you put on your shoes first? There are so many stones on the road, how can you not put them on?"
"Hey, I'm just anxious!"
At this time, Qu Xiangming, who was still standing in the water, looked at them helplessly, "Can you please stop talking and give me a hand first!"
"Oh, I forgot about you," Qu Xiangming said this, and everyone realized that he was still standing in the water, so they quickly pulled him up.
Qu Xiangming collapsed on the grass as soon as he got up. "I was really scared. I got stuck right after I got in and couldn't get out."
"Is it a swamp?" Yang Jinsheng asked as he poked a bamboo pole into the water.
"It shouldn't be, it's just that the mud underneath is sticky." Zhao Yita shook his head.
"Then should we go in and look for them?" Yang Jinsheng looked towards the reed marsh. It would be inappropriate to come all the way here just to find a dozen duck eggs and then go back, right?
At this time, Qu Xiangming also recovered. "It's okay, you can go in. Just be careful. Two people go together. Don't take off your shoes. I'm afraid you will cut your feet. I won't go to the innermost part."
"Okay, let's go in together." Yang Jinsheng put on his socks and shoes again, and then the three men walked in hand in hand. After a while, Yang Jinsheng's happy voice was heard, "Oh my God, there are so many duck eggs in there. We should have come in earlier."
"Jinsheng, you guys be careful," Jiang Xinbai shouted worriedly while standing on the shore.
At this time, Yang Jinsheng poked his head out from the reeds and said, "Xiaobai, throw two empty baskets in."
"Okay." Jiang Xinbai quickly took out the duck eggs from the basket, then picked them up with a bamboo pole and threw them over.
Jiang Xinlan, who was standing by, also threw her basket over when she saw this.
Li Lele picked up her basket from the ground and said with a smile, "Put the duck eggs in my basket first."
"Okay, let's divide the duck eggs they picked up among the three of us later."
While they were discussing how to distribute the eggs, Yang Jinsheng and his friends were picking up nests of duck eggs from the reeds. They were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. "It feels so good, just like picking up money."
"That's like picking up money. Duck eggs are sold at 1.3 yuan per pound outside, which is more expensive than chicken eggs. We have picked up several dollars now!" Zhao Yita was also happy. He really came to the right place today.
After a short while, Yang Jinsheng and the other two filled the two baskets. He lifted the baskets and said, "Brother-in-law, Xiang Ming, I'll take these two baskets out first and come in later."
"Well, go ahead. Xiang Ming and I will look around. Call me when you come in."
Yang Jinsheng carried two baskets and walked out slowly, step by step. When he saw Jiang Xinbai and the other two on the shore, he grinned and said, "Xiaobai, look, it's full."
When Jiang Xinbai saw the basket that was almost full, his eyes widened and he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry, give it to me, be careful not to fall into the water."
Yang Jinsheng handed the basket over with a smile, then took a big step onto the shore and said with a smile: "You don't know how many wild duck eggs there are in it. I have never seen so many eggs."
Jiang Xinlan spread the fertilizer bag on the ground, and then put the wild duck eggs in the basket on the bag one by one. She accidentally broke one of the eggs because of her heavy hands. She cried out in pain, "Oh, it's broken."
"It's okay, there are plenty!" Jiang Xinbai and Li Lele emptied the remaining two baskets and handed them to Yang Jinsheng, "Jinsheng, come, take all three baskets and pick up more."
"One, two, three..." Li Lele on the side had already started counting the duck eggs on the ground. Jiang Xinbai and the others did not dare to disturb her and just waited quietly by the side.
When Li Lele counted to the last number, they dared to exclaim, "Ah, it's like a dream, there are actually 168, so many! Each of our families can get more than 50!"
"There's more than that. Jinsheng and the others are still inside. There should be more." Jiang Xinbai pointed inside. Judging from the situation, it is not impossible for another hundred to come.
"Hmm? Have you ever thought about a question?" Jiang Xinlan suddenly asked.
"What's the problem?"
"If we take all the eggs like this, can the wild ducks still reproduce? Is it too much?" Wild ducks have two egg-laying periods a year. In addition to this one in March and April, the next time is in autumn from September to November.
"Ah, this, I really didn't think of it. How about I call them back?" Jiang Xinbai stood up quickly.
"Call them back. People should not be too greedy. Lele, what do you think?" Jiang Xinlan finally asked Li Lele's opinion. After all, it was Li Lele and his friends who discovered this place.
Li Lele naturally had no objection. She smiled and replied, "Sister Xiaolan, I will listen to you. It is true that we cannot catch them all in one fell swoop."
"Okay, we've reached an agreement. I'll go get some help." Jiang Xinbai said, and then he shouted toward the reed marsh, "Jinsheng, Jinsheng, come back and stop picking up trash."
After hearing the sound, Yang Jinsheng poked his head out and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? There are still a lot of them inside!"
"We felt it would be a shame to pick them all up, so we had to leave some for the ducklings to hatch."
"Oh, I thought it was something else. We left some in every nest. Okay, we have picked up almost everything. Let's go back!" Yang Jinsheng lifted the basket in his hand and said to the two people behind him.
"Okay, let's go back. My shoes and trouser legs are all wet and very cold." So the three of them went ashore carrying baskets.
"So how are we going to take these duck eggs back?" Jiang Xinbai looked at the duck eggs scattered all over the floor and felt worried. If they were all put directly into the fertilizer bag, they would definitely be broken, and it would be a waste of time.
Li Lele pointed at her husband and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaobai, don't worry. We have Xiang Ming. He can weave baskets. Just ask him to weave a few baskets for us."
"Really? Xiangming, you can also weave baskets, that's amazing." Jiang Xinbai looked at Qu Xiangming with surprise. This was really like sending a pillow just at the right time when someone was sleepy.
