Chapter 76
Time passed very quickly in the busy work. In the blink of an eye, the sun rose above his head. Qiao Mo heard his stomach growling. He released his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings. After making sure that there was no one around, he quickly entered the wooden bracelet space, put the collected winter bamboo shoots into the warehouse, took out two big meat buns from the kitchen, and made a cup of milk. After he was full, he came out to continue working.
The sun was setting, and at the appointed time, Qiao Mo only left a small half basket of winter bamboo shoots in the backpack, picked two leaves to wrap a bamboo rat and put it on the top, and put all the other things into the space in the wooden bracelet, and then carried the backpack to the agreed place.
Chu Maoshen and Liu Ruolin had already arrived there, but their harvest was not very good. Qiao Mo took a quick look and saw that Chu Maoshen had more than a dozen bamboo shoots in his basket, while Liu Ruolin had only four or five.
Chu Maoshen saw that Qiao Mo had quite a few things in his backpack, and his eyes lit up: "Qiao Mo, you're really capable. You're a novice, but you can still dig up so many bamboo shoots."
"It was a lucky thing." Qiao Mo said lightly.
"The bamboo shoots will go bad if they are stored for too long. Qiao Mo, can you give us some more?" Chu Maoshen also thought that she was lucky, but did not stop him from asking for benefits.
"There are three of us. The vegetables in our private plot didn't grow well, so we thought of digging some bamboo shoots to cook. How could we have any extra bamboo shoots?" Qiao Mo declined.
They had been repairing the reservoir for a month. Apart from a few chickens and geese that Tang Xinmei had asked to take care of, no one had taken care of the vegetable garden. After so long without weeding, catching insects, watering or fertilizing, the weaker ones died, and those that barely survived were very thin. Fortunately, the area was large, otherwise they would really worry about what vegetables to eat in the future.
"Qiao Mo, we are fellow villagers after all, there is no need to be so stingy." Liu Ruolin glared at her. It was not like she had never seen vegetable fields before. Although their vegetables did not grow very well, they were enough for them to eat.
"I'm just that stingy." Qiao Mo didn't indulge her. "There are plenty of bamboo shoots on the mountain. If you want to eat them, just dig them yourself."
"We wanted to, but the water quality is too bad. Look, we spent a whole day in the mountains and only dug up this little. It's not worth it." Chu Maoshen showed Qiao Mo his harvest.
"Practice makes perfect in everything. If you come a few more times, the water will come up naturally." Qiao Mo didn't expect the male protagonist to play the sympathy card, but unfortunately it was useless to her here.
"Can't we exchange it with money?" Liu Ruolin couldn't help but get angry when he saw that she was not willing to listen.
"No, that's speculation." Qiao Mo said coldly. She wouldn't dare sell the things to them even if she wanted to sell them to anyone else.
"Qiao Mo, I know Liu Ruoling's words hurt you. We apologize to you today. Please forgive her." Chu Maoshen knew from her expression that she didn't trust him and Liu Ruoling. "Liu Ruoling, you know you were wrong that day. Apologize to Qiao Mo now."
Liu Ruoling didn't know what he was trying to say. He had just said that all he needed to do was talk to her, so why was he asking her to apologize? She looked at Qiao Mo, then at Chu Maoshen, and seeing the threat in Chu Maoshen's eyes, she whispered, "Qiao Mo, I'm sorry. I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have spoken carelessly and slandered you."
"Qiao Mo, Liu Ruoling is sincerely apologizing. Please be magnanimous and forgive her this time for the sake of being a fellow villager." Chu Maoshen said quickly when he saw that Qiao Mo was unmoved.
