Shen Jianlin also saw the pile of eels and loaches and was shocked. He didn't know where they came from, but he wanted to catch them, so he quickly gave a snakeskin bag he was carrying to Old Mrs. Shen.
Old Mrs. Shen was an expert in this area. After taking the snakeskin bag, she covered it with water, and the eels and loaches went in all at once, struggling in the bag.
Eels and loaches suddenly appeared, and there were so many of them that Mrs. Shen had never seen so many in her life. She tried her best to fill half a bag, but she couldn't lift it anymore, so she gave up.
"You're so great!" Shen Zhishu and Shen Zhili looked at Old Lady Shen with admiration.
"Mom! Mom..." Shen Jianlin stared at the bulging snakeskin bag in her hand, his voice unsteady with excitement, "With so many things, how much can we sell them for?"
"If they're all sold out, it'll be a lot of money!"
"Great! Mom, you're so smart. You thought of catching snails, but you didn't expect to catch so many things. Now it's great! I'll take the things to town to sell tomorrow morning!"
Looking at the harvest she had made late at night, Old Mrs. Shen wiped the sweat from her face, took a long breath, and her eyes were a little red.
With these things, Nannan’s full moon banquet will be arranged, and I can finally give her an explanation!
After the Shen family left, the two villagers immediately rushed over, wanting to catch a bag full of eels and loaches. However, after walking over, they saw only about 20 or 30 eels, which was much more than before, so they quickly grabbed them.
"Hey, why do all these things run to Old Shen's house? It's too mysterious!"
"Who knows? I guess the Shen family is going to be lucky!"
…
In the morning, Shen Jianlin and Old Mrs. Shen went out before dawn.
When Lin Xiujuan woke up, she couldn't find Old Lady Shen and Shen Jianlin anywhere. She only saw Shen Zhishu and Shen Zhili coming back. The two boys were sleeping soundly on the wooden bed. Her heart suddenly tightened. She walked to the next room and asked Old Man Shen, "Dad, where are Jianlin and Mom? Why haven't they come back yet?"
Old Man Shen coughed twice and said, "They found a lot of good stuff last night and sold them in town early in the morning. You don't have to worry."
Lin Xiujuan then breathed a sigh of relief and turned back into the house. Seeing Fubao had woken up, she immediately picked her up from the cradle with a loving face, changed her diaper, and fed her.
Although this is a bit embarrassing and Fubao was not used to it at first, there is nothing she can do as she is a little baby now and has to accept the reality!
Near noon, Shen Jianlin and Old Mrs. Shen came back. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and Old Mrs. Shen was smiling from ear to ear!
The snails, eels and loaches I caught last night were still fresh. They were sold out quickly when we got to the town. I sold over 100 kilograms of these things for more than 50 yuan. How could I not be happy?
As soon as Mrs. Shen entered the house, she washed her hands, then went to the inner room, and couldn't wait to take the freshly fed Fubao from Lin Xiujuan's arms, and kissed her on the cheek, "Fubao, my sweetheart, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a while. I'll go to the tailor in the village later and make you a new set of clothes to wear tomorrow, okay?"
Fubao looked at Old Mrs. Shen, opened his mouth and said "Ah..." as a response to her.
Seeing her face, which was full of traces of time, filled with smiles, Fubao knew that she must have gained a lot last night!
