Grandma Mo ignored her and continued working.
Old Mo shouted, "Get to work! What are you whining about? You've only been working for a little while and you're already saying you're tired and want to rest? You can go home when you're done! If you're not done, you can work here all night!"
Mo Yunmei dared not utter a sound. She was dissatisfied, but could only vent her anger by taking out her hoe.
Hmph! All you do is yell at her!
Isn't she tired in this heat? What's wrong with taking a break?
This weather is so incredibly hot! Her skin is burning from the sun! She's gotten so tanned, she doesn't look good at all!
But she didn't dare to talk back. Her older brother, for some reason, was acting like he had taken the wrong medicine. He was no longer gentle with her and would glare at her coldly at the drop of a hat. She didn't know what she had done wrong!
No one pities Mo Yunmei, this poor little thing.
Su Nanxi was unaware of what was happening with Mo Yunmei. After watering the sweet potato vines, she squatted down and observed them for a while.
Mmm! They look so good! Adding the spiritual spring water really makes a difference; they're growing very well, all tender and green. They're ready to be cooked!
Several children followed Su Nanxi's example, squatting down in the ground, and carefully picking up the sweet potato vines, tilting their heads to look at them, and then nodding.
Su Nanxi turned her head and saw this scene, which almost made her laugh until her stomach hurt. Look at their uniform movements. If you put beards on them, would they have to stroke their beards?
He looks much older than his age!
On the way back, the child said he wanted to eat fish.
What could Su Nanxi do? He could only capture her!
Upon reaching the shallow waters of the river, Su Nanxi first glanced at the waterwheel not far away, then at the water level and watermarks on the riverbank. After pondering for a moment, she lowered her eyes before stepping into the water.
It does feel like the water level has dropped, but it's not very noticeable. If it doesn't rain soon, the water level will probably drop even more without us realizing it.
Su Nanxi nimbly scooped up a few fish, went straight ashore, poured the fish from the bucket into Mo Jiarong's small wooden bucket, and then went back into the water.
She scooped up another bucket in a short while. This time she didn't pour it out. She put it on the bank, then shook her feet, shook it dry, patted the soles of her feet, put on her shoes, and pulled down her trouser legs.
Ugh! If only sandals were more convenient!
These cloth shoes are inconvenient; I'll get a few pairs of straw sandals to change into next time!
These straw sandals are easy to weave, the raw materials are everywhere, it just takes a little time, and they're not worth much money. If they break, you can just weave another pair.
Picking up her things, Su Nanxi called the children to get ready to go back. She caught a glimpse of Cao Erdan's head hiding behind a tree not far away, paused for a moment, and then continued walking.
After walking for a while, Su Nanxi suddenly looked back and burst out laughing.
Cao Erdan ran to the river and imitated Su Nanxi's way of catching fish. He flipped the wooden bucket over, scooped it up, and lifted it up. Then he looked carefully into the bucket. He guessed that he hadn't caught any fish, so he emptied all the water out of the bucket.
Cao Erdan was a persistent man. He really didn't believe he couldn't do it. He patiently tried to fish several times, but still came up empty-handed. Finally, he was dejected and listlessly carried the wooden bucket ashore.
Sigh! Her method of catching fish is only suitable for her; no one else can use it or even learn it, because she has a unique secret weapon!
The Mo family children also turned around to look, and they all smiled, their faces full of pride and joy. Not just anyone can catch fish so easily! Only their third aunt can do it!
Su Nanxi turned and left. The dolls who had been watching her closely ignored Cao Erdan and quickly followed after her, having gathered their things.
Cao Erdan noticed and looked up. The Mo family members were getting further and further away. He was annoyed for a while, then suddenly made up his mind, picked up the wooden bucket and rushed over.
Su Nanxi knew that Cao Erdan was rushing over, but she did not stop.
Cao Erdan used all his strength to catch up with them, overtake them, and then stopped in front of them, turning around and panting heavily.
Su Nanxi raised an eyebrow. What's going on?
Cao Erdan didn't dare to breathe for too long. After a while, he spoke up, "Um, could you, could you give me a fish? I won't take it for free. I, I can help you water the plants as payment, or I can farm for you! What do you think?"
After speaking, he looked at Su Nanxi expectantly, anxiously awaiting her answer.
Su Nanxi didn't expect Cao Erdan to want fish; she thought he wanted her to teach him how to catch them.
Working instead of fish isn't out of the question. This kid probably hasn't had any meat in ages; his eyes are full of longing!
However, Su Nanxi didn't want to cause trouble. She pointed to Cao Sanniang's figure not far away and asked him with her eyes if he should ask his mother if he could make the decision.
Cao Erdan was particularly clear-headed at this moment and immediately understood Su Nanxi's meaning. He realized that Su Nanxi was willing, so he patted his chest vigorously and said, "It's okay, my mother won't say anything. I often do chores for others in exchange for other things. My mother would love for me to bring back things every day!"
Well!
This kid is so honest, he'll expose all my secrets without hesitation!
However, his approach of earning what he wants through labor is commendable; he didn't steal or rob, which is excellent!
But why did he want to steal their eggs in the first place?
Could it be that you're starving? How long has it been since you've had anything oily or greasy?
Su Nanxi saw that he wasn't a bad person at heart and decided to trust him this once.
He used a ladle to scoop a large fish out of the bucket and put it into Cao Erdan's wooden bucket. Then he pointed to the Mo family's land and reminded them to remember to water it tomorrow.
Cao Erdan looked at the fish in the wooden bucket with great joy. He nodded vigorously in the direction Su Nanxi was pointing, "Yes! I remember. I'll come to help you water them tomorrow afternoon, I'll definitely be there!"
"Just remember that," Su Nanxi said, picking up the wooden bucket and leaving, with the children following behind.
Cao Erdan watched them walk away, then picked up his wooden bucket and hurried off, both happy and cautious.
Cao San Niang was about to go back when she realized that her son had disappeared in the blink of an eye. She wasn't worried. After packing her things, she waited for a while. Based on her experience, she figured her son was probably up to something again.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before her son appeared in front of her, carrying a wooden bucket that seemed to contain something. He was carrying it very carefully!
"What have you been up to again? Hurry up, it's getting dark, let's go back!"
Seeing her son return, Cao Sanniang didn't even look at him before urging him to go back, because in her experience, her son wouldn't cause any trouble, and she was too lazy to ask.
Cao Erdan, however, insisted on telling his mother, and cheerfully shouted while carrying the wooden bucket, "Mother! Mother! I got a fish! A very big fish!"
fish?
Cao San Niang stopped what she was doing, threw down what she was holding, and ran over. "Let me see, let me see! Oh my! It really is a fish! Who did you trade with? Who was willing to trade with you?"
Cao San Niang was not very convinced. This fish was quite big. Not just anyone could catch a fish, and although it was fishy, it was still meat!
"This was given to me by that mute woman from the Mo family!"
"The Mo family? That's what they deserve!"
