"Sister Mengyue, you don't know, my father asked me to go back and help make a trap net. This makes more money than going to the field to catch locusts. I made these five to thank you for giving my family such a good idea."
"You're welcome. If you can't make it, no matter how good the design is, it won't work."
After hearing this, Yang Qiang touched his head embarrassedly and chuckled a few times.
Originally he planned to stop learning carpentry and go to town to find a job, but he didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better and he would one day succeed in learning the craft himself.
On the way home, he saw many villagers walking towards his home. Only then did he realize that the catching net made by his father at home could catch locusts quickly, so many villagers went to his house to buy it.
Although it only costs two cents each, catching locusts in a day saves a lot of time and energy, and it is not very tiring, so it is still very cost-effective overall.
Under his father's guidance, he quickly learned how to make a capture net. He also learned from his father that Mengyue needed 15 capture nets, so he and his father worked together to make 20 in the shortest possible time.
His father was afraid of delaying Mengyue's business, so he asked him to send it over quickly, and he happened to arrive in time.
Mengyue took 20 fishing nets from Yang Qiang and handed him the 40 coins she had prepared.
But Yang Qiang waved his hands repeatedly and said excitedly: "Sister Mengyue, what are you doing? If I take your money, I will definitely be beaten by my father when I return home. Please give me some face and don't give me the money."
Mengyue saw that Yang Qiang really didn't want his money, so she didn't force him. After all, her design was worth more than 40 cents.
Yang Qiang handed the catching net to Mengyue and said that he wanted to go home quickly to help make the catching net, after all, it only cost two cents each.
After Yang Qiang left, Mengyue distributed the catching nets to the children, and even the few children from the village who followed her received one.
Seeing the innocent smiles on the children's faces as they held the catching nets, Mengyue smiled knowingly.
Yang Zhijin, who was standing nearby, was distracted by Mengyue's smile, but shook his head in the next moment and looked at the catching nets in the children's hands.
I wanted to ask about the trapping net, but it was getting late and I had to hurry back to the county government office, otherwise I would have to stay in the village overnight.
Yang Zhijin signaled to Yang Run, who immediately followed his master's instructions, drove the carriage over, and carried the children onto the carriage one by one.
Yang Zhijin and Mengyue said goodbye and turned to get on the carriage.
Yang Run sat on the shaft of the cart and drove towards the county.
After Yang Zhijin left, Mengyue took her three younger brothers to feed the ducklings.
That’s right, there are three younger brothers. In addition to the twins Yu and Hao, Xuan also stayed.
Because Xuan, Yu and Hao look so much alike, it's no exaggeration to say they are brothers.
Therefore, when Mengyue told Yang Zhijin that Xuan was also his younger brother, Yang Zhijin did not have any doubts at all. He just felt that Mengyue's return from the capital might not be a bad thing.
Although life in the village was very poor, she had a father who loved her and three lovely younger brothers. Unlike him, she did not have a biological father, but the two of them were like strangers, and she was even worse than an ordinary person.
If it weren't for the love of his grandparents, he probably wouldn't have known what family love was.
So much so that he respected his grandfather very much. As for the so-called father in the Marquis's Mansion, he could only do something for the sake of face, nothing more.
While Mengyue and her three younger brothers were happily feeding the ducklings, Ma Wei had already driven his ox cart back to Lianhua Village.
In the past, Ma Wei always went home as soon as possible, but today when he was about to leave home, not only did he ignore his grandson's call, but he drove the carriage even faster.
"Good buddy, let's hurry up." Ma Wei said to the old ox.
