Chapter 74 Big Hole
"I was negligent. It's not easy for Third Master and the others." Shen Xiao shook his head and sighed. Without saying much, he handed the needle and thread to Li Laosan first.
However, Shen Qingqian understood what he meant.
The few escorts who stayed behind not only had to worry about their own survival and safety, but also had to think about leading the team out of Qishan. Their families were not around, and there was no one to mend their clothes when they were torn. It was really not easy.
Shen Xiao went over and said something to Li Laosan. The latter scratched his head and embarrassedly stuffed the clothes and needlework into Shen Xiao's hands.
"Thank you very much. Don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly." Li Laosan looked a little uncomfortable on his tanned face.
He was a rough man and had no idea how to sew. This was the last good piece of clothing he had made. If he didn't mend it, he would have nothing to wear.
Chen Xiao shook his head. "It's just a small favor, Third Master, you don't have to be polite. Please tell the other officials that if your clothes get torn in the future, please give them to my mother. We don't have the money to make new shoes, but I will also talk to my sisters and ask them to make a few more pairs of straw sandals."
Li Laosan thanked him again and again, and only then did Shen Xiao take the things and go into the tent.
When the matter was told to Wu and others, Wu immediately agreed.
"I wanted to say this earlier. It's not a big deal, but if only the women in our family do this, it will inevitably lead to gossip. It would be better to distribute it to the women in each family, so that everyone can do more and take turns doing the mending work."
After all, Wu was older and had a more comprehensive view of the problem. After hearing this, Shen Xiao also felt that her arrangement was better. He nodded and said, "Please tell all the aunts about this matter."
"Okay, leave it to me." Wu agreed readily.
It was just the hour of Xu, and Shen Qingqian couldn't sleep. After saying hello to Liang, he went outside the tent with a straw basket, intending to pick up some coal first.
Shen Zhe and the others wanted to follow, and Shen Qingqian couldn't refuse, so she took the children with her.
She had a secret and couldn't get too close to the children, so she deliberately let them play together and pick up coal while they played. She took advantage of their inattention and secretly loaded the coal into the system warehouse.
This installation caused a problem.
Shen Qingqian stared at the huge hole in front of her, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Didn't she just want to collect some coal? How could such a big hole pop up in her mind?
"Hey, why is there a hole here?" Shen Jin wanted to move forward with his short legs, but was stopped by Shen Qingqian.
Shen Zhe also looked at Shen Qin strangely, "Brother Qin, did you see this hole just now?"
Shen Qin shook his head blankly, "No!"
The three of them have been playing here and I didn’t see them just now.
Shen Qingqian awkwardly pulled Shen Jin and said with a stiff upper lip: "This hole was just there. It must have been too dark for you to notice."
"That's not right, Sixth Auntie. I just ran around here and clearly didn't see this hole." Shen Jin tilted his head and said in a cute voice.
Shen Qingqian laughed dryly, "You must have remembered it wrongly. You ran to the other side just now."
She finally understood that the system's function of collecting objects was too smart.
What she was thinking about just now was to load all the coal in the ground under her feet, and then all the coal in the ground that she touched with her hands went into the system warehouse, without even a bit of extra soil.
Shen Qingqian didn't know whether to complain or be thankful.
What she complained about was that she almost fell down, but fortunately, the problem of collecting coal was solved.
