Wow, this color is so beautiful!
The girls, Yao Yao and Qing Qing, really liked the shuttlecocks after they were dyed and dried.
"I want something fluffy, even if it's hard to kick, it'll look nice, and I can look at it every day on the windowsill."
Qian Jiabao suddenly spoke up.
"Shall we give it a try?"
The little girls got right to work, picking out feathers from a pile of feathers, finding only the very tip of each feather, the rest being down.
"Isn't this too short?"
Qingqing held a handful of feathers in her hand. They were fluffy and felt very comfortable to touch. When she squeezed them in her hand, they looked like a flower that had burst open.
"It seems so. Let's pick some longer ones with less fluff; they'll look nice when folded."
The little girls carefully selected feathers, stacking them layer by layer with different lengths and binding them tightly with sewing thread.
"Brother Liwen, I want to dye it pink."
Miao Miao ran over, holding the new shuttlecock her older sister Yao Yao had made for her.
"good."
Now that we know how to color the feathers, we need to hurry up and dye all the shuttlecocks we've made.
"We actually made five hundred shuttlecocks!"
It took a week to dye the product in five colors: red, pink, yellow, green, and blue.
"One shuttlecock costs two cents, ten shuttlecocks cost two dollars, one hundred shuttlecocks cost twenty dollars, and five hundred shuttlecocks here cost one hundred dollars!"
Yao Yao quickly calculated that one hundred yuan was a lot of money for them.
"It has to be sold first."
Looking at the colorful shuttlecocks in front of him, Hu Zhenghao considered where to sell them first.
"Me! Me! Me! It was agreed that I would be responsible for selling them!"
Qian Jiabao quickly spoke up; she had been waiting for a long time.
"Qingqing and I are in charge of selling them. I told my dad that he would come to see me every ten days. Today is the eighth day. He will definitely come the day after tomorrow, and I will take them with me. We need to hurry up and make more these two days, because we definitely won't have enough shuttlecocks to sell."
Qian Jiabao spoke with great confidence.
"Five hundred is already a lot."
Qingqing couldn't help but remind her.
“Five hundred seems like a lot if we sell them ourselves, but if we share them with others to help sell them, it won’t be enough.”
Qian Jiabao spoke.
"Who should we assign the task to?"
Qingqing was puzzled.
"Give it to my cousins."
Qian Jiabao spoke without hesitation.
"Wait a minute, didn't you say you had no one to play with when you were little? You have a cousin, but I've never seen him."
Qingqing was somewhat shocked.
“I was very sick when I was a child, and my cousins were too crazy. My grandfather was afraid that they would lead me astray, so my cousins didn’t dare to get close to me when I was a child, but they still granted my every request.”
Qian Jiabao spoke with a slightly guilty conscience.
How many cousins do you have?
Qingqing's simple curiosity.
"Not many, just nine cousins."
Qian Jiabao poked her finger.
"Nine isn't a lot?"
Everyone was shocked.
“I have five uncles. My eldest, second, and third cousins are older and don’t play with me much.”
"Do you also have a cousin?"
"I have few cousins, only five."
