Looking at Yun Duo's adorable appearance, Yun Qi couldn't bear it any longer and said to Yun Dazheng, "Old man, if Duo'er wants to go to the market, take her. She's never been out of the house before, let her have some fun."
"At worst, we can buy chicks and goslings at the next market, or we can ask around the neighborhood to see if anyone sells them. We don't necessarily have to buy them today."
Hearing his wife say that, Yun Dazheng stopped arguing. He affectionately tapped Yun Duo's forehead and said, "You little rascal, alright, I'll listen to your grandma. Today, we'll go to the market together."
"Yes, yes, that's great!" Yun Duo nodded happily, then looked at Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Grandma, you are so good to me!"
Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi exchanged a smile and shook their heads, saying, "This child, his little mouth is as sweet as honey."
The clouds chuckled foolishly.
Just before leaving, looking at the termite mushrooms that Yun Da was placing in his basket, lined with lotus leaves, and remembering what Yun Qi had said about termite mushrooms being 'vegetarian' and not fetching a good price, and the expression on her face when she said she would give Grandpa two yuan to buy chicks and goslings, she said, "Grandpa, why don't we take the pheasant with us to sell? If Duo'er catches another pheasant, we can eat it ourselves."
To be honest, Yun Duo also wanted to eat something better; stewed chicken was better than wild vegetable porridge. But her family was really poor, with only a little over ten yuan at most. She hadn't had the chance to go far out of the village before, so she had no way to make money. Now, even if she wanted to 'collect' a beehive to sell for money, it was too late.
So let's sell the pheasant.
If she had known she could go to the market today, she should have "picked up" a beehive yesterday!
Yunduo thought to herself.
"Master, Master, we can collect beehives on the road!" Xiao Jiu said to Yun Duo excitedly as she stopped on the roof beam of the old house.
"How could that be..." Taking advantage of the old couple's inattention, Yun Duo secretly rolled her eyes and said to Xiao Jiu in her heart, "You can't just conjure up a beehive out of thin air. You have to have one first before you can get it. I know that most bees build their nests in the woods or hidden rock walls. We're going to the market, so we'll definitely be walking on busy roads. If there were beehives by the roadside, they would have been taken away by someone else long ago. How could we possibly be there?"
“But we can take the old man to a place with beehives,” Xiao Jiu said cheerfully in Yun Duo’s mind, without any annoyance.
"Take it to a place with a beehive? How do you do that? Do you have a way?" Cloud asked in her mind.
Xiao Jiu immediately said, "Of course! Master, don't you occasionally take two bamboo tubes of water to water the place where termites grow matsutake mushrooms? One of the termite nests isn't far from a beehive. We can make an excuse to go check if any mushrooms have grown, and then take Grandpa there. Then you can say you smell a sweet fragrance, and we can take Grandpa to collect the beehive!"
That makes sense!
Yun Duo nodded unconsciously and said to Xiao Jiu in her heart, "Then you go and get the beehive down first, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have enough time. Tell me when you're done, and I'll think about how to take Grandpa over. Anyway, if it really doesn't work, I can go and get it back later."
"Okay, Master, I'll go now~" Xiao Jiu said in the cloud's mind, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
Just then, Yun Dazheng gently placed his rough hand on her head and patted it: "What is our Duo'er daydreaming about?"
