However, this small plot of land could only accommodate three rows of corn. There were seven people in the plot: Yun Youliang's family of four and Lu Laogen's family of three. I wonder if so many people walking around in the field would compact the soil and prevent the corn from sprouting.
What are these people trying to do?
Just now, it seemed like my own grandmother was going to treat them to a meal? They can dream on!
Yun Duo couldn't help but glare at the soil from afar, then muttered to Yun Qi Shi, "Grandma, what are these people trying to do? With so many people in our field, won't they trample the soil and prevent the corn from growing?"
Yun Qishi was also helpless, frowning as she said, "That's right, Grandma was worried about this too. I tried to stop them, but they insisted on helping us with the work, and I couldn't stop them. It's one thing for the second son and his wife, but that Lu Laogen, he said it was agreed upon yesterday..."
“We only have this little bit of land, we don’t need it at all…” he said, shaking his head involuntarily.
Yun Duo pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "Then what you just said sounded to me like you wanted to invite them to dinner?"
"You silly child, you can't bear to part with them?" Yun Qi chuckled, patting Yun Duo's head, and continued, "It's still what Grandma said earlier. As for you... we can let it go with the second son's family. We all know they're up to something. Besides, my husband and I have raised the second son for decades, so it's only right that they help with some work. We're in the right, no matter what. But you have Uncle Gen and the others... no matter what Zhang Juhua did, since she's already been punished, they don't owe us anything. They come to help with the work, so we should treat them to a meal."
Yun Duo pouted and snorted, saying, "We didn't invite them; they came on their own. They're not worth a meal..."
Yun Qi gently patted Yun Duo's back and coaxed softly, "Alright, alright, it's just a meal. We can afford it. We can't let people talk about us behind our backs and say we're all stingy." Then, she changed the subject, "By the way, Duo'er, did it sell well when you went to the county town to sell honey today? How was the price?"
Yun Duo wasn't being stingy with a meal, but she felt a bit aggrieved. So, when Yun Qishi changed the subject, she stopped pressing the issue and simply said, "Grandma, we didn't sell any of the honey we brought today; we gave it all away. But we made another deal, so we'll have income every day from now on."
"You're making money every day? What kind of business is it? Besides honey, what else can we sell?" Yun Qi asked worriedly. She wondered if the grandfather and grandson had been scammed in town.
“It’s royal jelly. Grandma, someone wants to buy our royal jelly. They need it every day. They come to pick it up themselves every day and pay in cash on the same day,” Yun Duo said to Yun Qi Shi with a cheerful tone.
"What royal jelly? Is it also produced by bees? Can it be more expensive than honey?" Yun Qi asked.
Yun Duo nodded repeatedly and replied, "Yes, it's what young bees and the queen bee eat. It's much more expensive than honey. When Grandpa and I came back just now, we already bought some. It was just a small bowl, and it cost more than two yuan." As she spoke, Yun Duo gestured to demonstrate.
"Hiss..." Yun Qi gasped, then said with some concern, "The production volume must be very small, right? Can it be sold every day?"
