When Li Yan returned home, only Lin and Maomao were at home. Seeing her daughter return, Lin hurriedly brought out the hot rice from the pot and asked, "Have you told the villagers?"
Li Yan nodded, then sat down at the table. While eating, she said to Lin, "Mom, I saw my cousin at the school gate today!"
Speaking of her nephew, Lin asked Li Yan with a smile on her face: "Why don't you call your cousin to come for dinner?"
Li Yan: "If my cousin comes back with us, I'm afraid my aunt will be worried if she can't wait for him to come home!"
Lin understood. She hadn't seen her nephew for a long time, and she was still a little worried: "I wonder how your aunt and the others are doing!"
Li Yan: "After I finish my work these two days, I will go to visit my uncle's house!"
Mrs. Lin gently smoothed her daughter's hair that was messed up by the wind and said, "There's no need to rush. Wait until your father has a rest, and then we can go together!" Although her daughter was smart, she was only ten years old. Mrs. Lin was naturally worried about letting her go out alone.
Today, almost all the villagers in Lijia Village went out to search for the whereabouts of the mountain sorrel all over the mountain. Some smart people asked their children to send letters to nearby relatives, asking them to deliver the picked fruits overnight. If they missed this opportunity to make money, when will they come across such a good deal again?
When Li Erlang returned home, he heard about this and sighed, "This is a good thing. The weather is getting colder, and everyone can make some money and spend the winter safely!"
It was not until dusk that Wu and his group finally returned.
Looking at the three baskets full of mountain red fruits in the courtyard, Mrs. Wu sighed, "I'm afraid all the fruits in the nearby mountains will be picked!"
She had only earned money for a few days, and now it was over. Wu was extremely reluctant.
"Okay, don't be ungrateful. If it weren't for Yan'er, you wouldn't have made this little profit!"
At this time, Li Erlang came out of the kitchen, holding food in his hands, and said, "You've been busy all day, let's eat first! We can talk about selling fruit tomorrow!"
After wandering around the mountain for most of the day, everyone was really tired. After finishing their meal in a few bites, they went home to wash up and go to bed.
On the second day, before dawn, the villagers of Lijia Village appeared early in front of Mr. Li's door waiting to be weighed. Everyone's hearts were full of anticipation at this moment.
Last night, some villagers went to their relatives' homes in the neighboring village late at night to collect mountain sorrel. At this moment, the family that picked the most mountain sorrel had nearly 500 kilograms. Looking at the full bamboo baskets, the villagers were envious. With a quick calculation, they found that it was worth one or two taels of silver!
When Master Li opened the gate, he was also startled. He saw that the gate was filled with various bamboo baskets filled with red mountain sorrel. He was afraid that the fruits from the nearby hills in the village had been picked by the villagers!
Mr. Li apologized, "I've kept you waiting for so long. I'll call someone to weigh the goods!" After that, he went to the next room!
Li Yan was pulled out of the warm bed by Lin: "Hey kid, your uncles are waiting outside, stop dawdling!"
Li Yan stretched and quickly put on her cotton-padded jacket. The weather was getting colder and colder. Now, Li Yan loved to stay in bed more and more!
When Li Yan was dressed and walked out the door, Mr. Li had already started weighing Li Erlang.
Li Yan walked to the side of Li Erlang and looked at the data recorded on the paper. Wow, even the family that picked the least had nearly 100 kilograms.
If the fruits in the mountains were not limited, Li Yan believed that every family could pick several hundred kilograms!
