Holding the first tube in your hand, the weight is very light, so there shouldn't be much gain.

Yang Ruoqing neatly removed the small bamboo cover that sealed the tube, turned the entire tube upside down and shook it down vigorously.

"Ding ding dong dong..."

After a few crisp sounds, two loaches and a crab fell into the wooden barrel in front of them.

"Well, not bad, these two loaches are fat. I will pick them up later and raise them together with the loaches you dug that day!"

Sun said quickly.

Yang Ruoqing smiled. She knew that her mother was afraid that she would be discouraged, so she was encouraging her!

Then I opened the second tube. This time, there were three small crabs and a soft-legged lobster.

The crab fell into the wooden barrel and was still staring at Yang Ruoqing with its big eyes, but the soft-legged lobster was already dead. It probably lost the fight with the crab!

Hey, winners and losers, wherever there are living things, fighting for the living space is indispensable!

The harvest from the third and fourth tubes was not very good. When it came to the fifth tube, Yang Ruoqing clearly felt that the weight in her hand had become much heavier.

"Mom, there seems to be something in here!"

"Beware of snakes, be careful!" Sun warned.

"Well, it's okay!"

Yang Ruoqing skillfully opened the tube and tipped it over with her backhand——

"Crash la la la..."

Just like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, the contents fell into the wooden barrel in front of me.

"Ah, there really are eels! There are more than one. They are so entangled together that they are hard to count. Qing'er, please count them..."

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and fiddled with the entangled eels in the barrel a few times. They separated from each other as soon as they brushed against the ground and swam around in the barrel, making a sizzling sound.

"Four." Yang Ruoqing said.

The sixth tube is just an eel, but the weight of this eel is enough to equal the previous four.

Yang Ruoqing visually inspected it and found that it was nearly five centimeters in diameter and stretched straight from beginning to end, not much shorter than Yang Ruoqing's arm.

"Mom, just this one can make a big bowl of braised pork!"

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, preparing to get the last tube.

Mrs. Sun smiled happily and nodded repeatedly.

Holding the last tube in her hand, Yang Ruoqing shook it slightly and felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong Qing'er?"

"Maybe there's a snake mixed in."

"Ah, you have to be careful!" Sun immediately made progress and tightened the hoe in her hand.

Yang Ruoqing began to untie the tube, and when she poured the contents into the barrel, she clearly saw a black shadow flashing in front of her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, there was a big movement inside the barrel, and a flat-headed snake about the thickness of a little finger, with a body half gray and half dark brown, slid out along the edge of the barrel.

The moment it fell to the ground, its body immediately twisted and tried to get into the hole in the corner of the kitchen wall.

"boom!"

Mrs. Sun picked up the hoe and smashed it down, causing the snake's body to sink into the dirt.

"Ouch, I'm so scared that I'm sweating all over!" said Sun.

Yang Ruoqing giggled, picked up the wooden bucket in her hand and stretched it in front of Mrs. Sun, "Mom, take the scale and let's weigh it!"

"We don't have that thing at home. Let me go and borrow it from your nurse. But I'm afraid your nurse hasn't gotten up yet!"

"Don't go borrow it from Nai, or you'll save them from asking questions!" Yang Ruoqing said.

She is not afraid of asking questions. She neither steals nor robs, and relies on her own wisdom and hard-working hands to make a living.

I'm just afraid of provoking those scoundrels like Yang Huaming and Liu who like to fight against the autumn wind!

"Your Aunt Guihua has a scale at home. She must have gotten up by now. I'll borrow it." Mrs. Sun said again.

"That works!"

Mrs. Sun quickly brought a steelyard, and Yang Ruoqing had already picked out crabs, lobsters, loaches and some small fish. The rest in the barrel were all eels.

The mother and daughter weighed it enthusiastically. Excluding the weight of the barrel, the eels harvested that night weighed three kilograms and they were still nodding!

Among them, the thickest eel weighed one and a half kilograms!

"Mom, I will keep this thickest eel for dad to recuperate. I will take the other eels to the town and sell them together."

"This thick eel is valuable, you take them all. Those loaches you dug in the first two days will be stewed in soup to replenish your father's health!" said Sun.

"That's alright. Come back to my house and pick up the eels again to help dad recuperate!"

Soon, Yang Huazhou came to see Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Huazhou also held a pole and hemp rope in his hand.

As soon as Yang Ruoqing and Sun Shi saw the thing in Yang Huazhou's hand, they knew that Tan Shi would not allow them to lend them oxcarts and bamboo baskets.

Because Yang Huazhou saw so many knitted products piled up in the house last night, he patted his chest and said that he would get an ox cart from Tan's house to go to town.

"Fifth Uncle, let's start tying things up!" Yang Ruoqing greeted Yang Huazhou with a smile without asking any questions.

Yang Huazhou looked a little unnatural, said "Hey" and immersed himself in his work.

All the knitting items were moved outside to the yard and began to be bundled.

In the front yard, Mrs. Liu came to the hut because she had a stomachache, and happened to catch a glimpse of the lively scene here.

"Hey, last night I heard that Lao Wu went to borrow a bullock cart and said that Fatty was going to town to do business. I still didn't believe it. Do you really want to go?"

Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhou immersed themselves in their work and had a tacit understanding to ignore Ms. Liu, treating her as if she were just the air!

Out of consideration for her sister-in-law, Mrs. Sun smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "It's not a valuable deal, it's just some utensils for drying things that Qing'er's father made up when he had nothing to do..."

"Ha, third sister-in-law, you are really right. These things made of thatch are really worthless. There are too many mountains behind our village. Third brother is really too busy to mess with these things.

Who will buy it?"

Ms. Liu curled her lips in a sinister manner. She originally wanted to laugh a few more words, but her stomach started to feel upset and she quickly rushed to the latrine with her pants in hand.

Here, Yang Huazhou comforted Yang Ruoqing: "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is a country woman, what does she know!"

Yang Ruoqing raised her head and smiled: "Fifth Uncle, don't worry, I will treat Fourth Aunt's words as floating clouds that will be blown away by the wind!"

"Hahaha, that's how it should be!" Yang Huazhou laughed. At this time, Yang Huazhong in the room also woke up.

"My third brother seems to have something to tell me. I'll go in and take a look."

In the room, Yang Huazhong repeatedly told Yang Huazhou to take good care of Yang Ruoqing.

"...It doesn't matter if you can't sell the things. My daughter must be brought back to me in good health. You must remember this, fifth child..."

"Third brother, don't worry. Qing'er is my biological niece. If I don't protect her, who will?"

"That's good!"

"Okay, it's getting late, so you all should set off. Go early and come back early. Qing'er, when we get to town, we must listen to your fifth uncle and don't run around!"

Mrs. Sun walked to the road at the door, still giving instructions.

"Mom, please go back. I don't worry about leaving my father alone at home." Yang Ruoqing advised Sun.

Mrs. Sun nodded and then returned home three times at a time.

Here, Yang Ruoqing is like a bird out of a cage, carrying a small wooden bucket with eels in one hand, and a bamboo basket in the other hand, which contains the matsutake mushrooms picked some time ago and those sent by Luo Fengtang.

The big gray rabbit with its limbs tied up.
