Chapter 54
"Sure, no problem." Yang Ruoqing said, her father's hand has almost recovered, it would be good to let him move his wrist.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Ruoqing suddenly asked, "Dad, can you make the kind of baskets used to catch eels?"
"Ah" Yang Huazhong looked confused.
"When we country people catch eels, don't we dig them directly into the holes? Why do we still use baskets?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized that in the rural areas of this era, no one had yet used that type of eel basket.
Haha, this is a great opportunity. Taking advantage of the autumn harvest, there is still some time before the cold weather and hibernation, you can make a fortune.
"Dad, I will go to the entrance of the village to pick willow sticks for you so that you can show off your skills." Yang Ruoqing turned around and was about to run out, but was stopped by Mrs. Sun.
"Qing'er, after struggling for a long time, we haven't even talked about this rabbit yet," said Sun.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment. She saw the gray rabbit that she had thrown in the corner. She patted her forehead and looked at her memory, forgetting about it.
If it wasn’t this rabbit, it wouldn’t have been able to cause the commotion this morning.
Yang Huazhong also saw the rabbit, struggled to sit upright, stared at the rabbit and said, "What a fat rabbit. This rabbit has a fierce temper at first sight. It was captured alive without any damage. This person is really capable."
How capable”
When Yang Huazhong was a boy, he often went hunting in Mianniu Mountain behind the village with Chang Geng Daniu and Mu Zichuan's deceased father Mu Wenbang. Men could still understand some basic things at a glance.
When Yang Ruoqing heard her father's words, she grabbed the rabbit and stroked the rabbit's neck with her palms. She thought to herself, that guy's double rabbit trap is really a trap within the trap, which can ensure that the prey will not be injured due to excessive struggle.
, and can tightly restrain the prey.
Big guy, smart
"I don't know who put this rabbit at the door. Logically speaking, it's unlikely that your grandma's side is there. As for others, the side door of our yard is locked at night, so no one can come in." Sun
Shi was confused and thought about it.
Don't dare to ask for things of unknown origin.
Yang Ruoqing saw Sun's thoughts, smiled and said to Sun, "Mom, let's accept this rabbit with confidence and boldness."
"Why"
"This rabbit was brought by someone to make amends to you, mother."
"Ah, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?" Mrs. Sun was even more confused. She glanced at Yang Huazhong on the bed. Yang Huazhong was also confused as a monk.
Yang Ruoqing didn't want to show off, so she said directly, "Mom, think about the injury on your ankle."
Sun immediately understood.
"Then child, what, why are you doing this, what a big deal." Mrs. Sun looked flattered, and at the same time, her face was full of joy and relief.
"What's going on with you two singing harmony? Come on, tell me. It's making me anxious to death." The man became anxious.
Mrs. Sun covered her mouth and smiled, telling Yang Huazhong everything about yesterday's gathering of fluff in the forest and stepping into Luo Fengtang's rabbit trap, as well as the incident when Yang Ruoqing stopped Luo Fengtang and scolded her.
Yang Huazhong said with emotion on his face, "It's not easy for the old Luo family. Blacksmith Luo's body has not been as strong as before in the past two years, and he keeps getting medicine and stone. There is no land in the family, and all the expenses for food, drink and diarrhea depend on the hunting income of Boy Tang. Alas.
"
"Just send this rabbit to be sold in the town. It can be easily sold for more than 80 yuan. Just send it to our house. This kid Tang is also a real person." Yang Huazhong then sighed.
"Then why don't we send the rabbit back?" Sun suggested.
Just as Yang Huazhong was about to nod, Yang Ruoqing on the side said, "Father, mother, you want me to see it, we can't give this rabbit here and there, that's not appropriate."
Knowing that Yang Huazhong and Sun were not the kind of honest people who took advantage of others, not to mention the Luo Fengtang family's family background, Yang Ruoqing did not beat around the bush, and continued, "This rabbit, since Luo Fengtang sent it here intentionally, then let's do it in a down-to-earth manner.
If you really accept it, it will let him put an end to his worries. At worst, if we can do anything to help the old Luo family in the future, we can lend a hand and compensate them from elsewhere, so as not to let them suffer this loss. My parents think
How about following my suggestion?"
Sun basically didn't make up his mind about these matters. Twilight looked at Yang Huazhong.
Yang Huazhong thought about it carefully and clapped his hands, "I like it, so I'll do as Qing'er said. They sincerely give it to me, so if I push it away and give it away, it would seem like I'm being hypocritical. Is there anything we can do to help them in the future?"
Those who help will definitely not stand by and watch.”
Seeing that all the men in her family had said this, Mrs. Sun also nodded, "Yesterday, I met Mr. Tang in the woods. It was so crazy. The boy was still wearing sandals on his feet, and the patches on his clothes were also twisted. Hey, a family
Every woman who takes care of the work and the old and young men live a really sloppy life."
"Then give Mr. Tang two pairs of shoes, Qing'er, what do you think?" Yang Huazhong suggested.
"I would like to, but we have just separated and have nothing on hand. There is only a bag of needlework and a few pieces of rags left in the basket." Mrs. Sun sighed softly.
Yang Ruoqing listened to her father and mother's calculations, rolled her eyes in a circle, and said, "Dad, mother, this matter is not urgent. We now have fifty big coins on hand. I will see my fifth uncle in a few days. I will not have time, so let me
He took me to the town, and we bought some daily necessities and some cotton cloth."
"How much cloth can you pull with fifty dozen dollars?" Mrs. Sun said with a sad look on her face.
Yang Ruoqing was very optimistic, "That's not all, Nuo, let's keep this rabbit in captivity first, and then take it to the town and sell it for money."
"Well, that's a good idea. Let's weave some baskets or something and sell them all together when the time comes," Yang Huazhong said.
"Okay then, whatever you two say is fine with me, I don't have any objection. I'm going to make breakfast now, and I'll have to plant the rapeseeds in the morning."
The three of them immediately went their separate ways.
For two days, Yang Ruoqing not only helped Sun turn over the two acres of paddy fields and a piece of dry land at home, dig ditches, but also sow all the rape seeds and wheat borrowed from Guihua and Aunt Dayun.
.
If you plant rapeseed, you will harvest the rapeseed next year and grind it to produce fresh rapeseed oil, which is indispensable for cooking and other things.
In the wheat field, the family's hope is placed. In April and May next year, the wheat will be harvested and can be ground into wheat flour. Making bread, rolling out noodles, and making wheat flour cakes are all good things for farmers to make a living.
A good thing to keep in your belly during the lean years.
In the past two days, Yang Ruoqing took time to go to the riverside and woods behind the village.
