025: Pick up snails and save people

Seeing the empty iron bucket, Ni Cuihua believed that her daughter was telling the truth. She opened her mouth wide and said in surprise: "How much money do we have to make!"

She knew that her daughter's sauerkraut fish was delicious, but she didn't expect it to be so popular!

Ni Yan looked normal, "It's only a few dozen yuan. Mom, let's go in first, I'm hungry."

Ni Cuihua took the things from Ni Yan's hand and said, "Let's go and have a meal, let's go in and eat."

Lunch is two dishes and one soup.

One stir-fried green vegetables, the other braised pork, and the tomato and egg soup.

Ni Cuihua has good skills, so Ni Yan ate a big bowl of white rice with soup.

"Eat more meat in Yanyan, and eat meat to grow taller." Ni Cuihua kept holding meat into her daughter's bowl.

"Thank you, mom, you eat too." Ni Yan also grabbed a piece of meat into Ni Cuihua's bowl.

After dinner, Ni Yan took out the money for selling noodles in the morning and counted it, which was a total of 76 yuan, which means she sold nearly 256 bowls of noodles in total.

Ni Cuihua never knew that she could make so much money in just one morning, and immediately said: "Yanyan, do you need your mother to help tomorrow morning?"

Ni Yan handed the money to Ni Cuihua and said with a smile: "No need for mom, I can do it alone. You can take good care of your sister at home."

Ni Cuihua put the money away and sighed: "It turns out that the money in the city is so easy to make. If your father and your milk know that you are so good at making money now, they will definitely regret it so much that they even lost their intestines!" The Mu family used to save money and saved less than 100 yuan a year! And Ni Yan earned more than 70 yuan in one morning!

Ni Cuihua, a woman who came out of the deep mountains, did not know so much. She just thought that the money in the city was easy to make, but she didn't know how much hard work and sweat Ni Yan had put in behind it.

Ni Yan looked normal and immediately corrected her mother's incorrect idea. "It's not that it's easy to make money in the city, but that the method is right. If it's someone else, it may not necessarily make money. Nowadays, there are so many people who lose money in business."

Ni Cuihua nodded without understanding.

Ni Yan picked up the purchased fishing gear and continued, "Mom, I'll go around the river for a few times."

"Okay, I'll hear your Aunt Ni say that the river is very deep, let me go with you." Ni Cuihua knew that she was going to fish, so she was a little worried.

Ni Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have to follow me, I can swim, you can rest well at home."

There is a long river to the east of Jinghua Village. There was no chemical factory in this era. The river water was very clear. Occasionally, a few children could be seen grazing cattle on the river bank.

It is the busy season of farming, and the fields are full of working peasants.

"Did you see it? That's the relative of Ni Chenggui's family. I heard it's called Yanyan."

“Is it the one who bought the bike?”

"Yes, yes, it's her."

"Good! You also buy a bicycle! This orphan and widowed mother don't know where the money comes from..."

There were more gossip in a while.

Ni Yan is too lazy to care about these gossips. She is not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. One day, these rumors will be self-defeating. The most important thing she is to make money now.

Make a lot of money.

As long as she has money, she can let her mother and sister live a good life.

Ni Yan speeded up and came to the river bank. The river was not deep. There were many snails and clams in the shallows. Ni Yan rolled up his trousers and put the fishing cage into deep water. Then he picked up clams and snails on the river bank with a plastic basin.

People in this era did not like to eat clams and snails very much, because if these things are not handled properly, they will have a rustic smell.

Furthermore, everyone is busy farming, who has time to study food?

In a short while, Ni Yan picked up a full pot of river clams and snails.

"Big daughter, why are you picking up so many snails?" A woman in her fifties and sixties walked over the river bank, with a towel wrapped around her head and a child in her hands. The child was very smart and had big round eyes, looking at Ni Yan.

Ni Yan smiled and said, "Pick it up and stir-fry it, add some onions, ginger, garlic and chili, it's fragrant. Do you want to pick up some together?"

The aunt frowned very much, "You are from another place, right? This one is very fishy and very unpalatable. We usually use it to feed ducks."

As soon as he finished speaking, the child holding the aunt's hand suddenly began to twitch all over, foaming at the mouth, and fell to the ground in less than ten seconds.

It's like being caught in an evil spirit.

All this happened so quickly that it was obvious that it was the first time that the aunt saw such a thing. She was so scared that she knelt on the ground and was at a loss.

"National Treasure! National Treasure! What's wrong with you? National Treasure!" As he said that, he was about to pick up the child and run home.

Ni Yan immediately threw down the basin in his hand and ran to the shore to stop the aunt's actions. "Auntie, my ancestors have been traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, please give me the child."

"You..." The aunt looked at Ni Yan with some hesitation, her eyes turning red.

In the eyes of the aunt, Ni Yan was just a yellow-haired girl, and the aunt didn't believe her at all.

I can't believe her either.

The child in her arms is the lifeblood of her daughter's whole family. If anything happens, she will not be able to survive!

"Auntie, don't worry, give me the child. If he drags it down, he will die." Ni Yan said seriously without any intention of joking.

The aunt was still very hesitant and shouted: "Come here! Come here quickly! Help..."

There were many people doing farm work in the fields, and when the aunt shouted, many people suddenly came.

"What's wrong? This is?"

"Isn't this kid from Meifeng's family?"

"Is this a ghost?"

Everyone was talking and guessing the cause of the child.

Ni Yan couldn't care so much, so he took the child out of the aunt's hand, let him lie on the ground, spread his mouth open, and then put his hand into the child's mouth without hesitation. The child immediately bit Ni Yan's hand tightly, Ni Yan frowned slightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The onlookers looked at Ni Yan and pointed at him, "What does a little girl know? What can I do if I kill someone!"

"Aunt Chen, stop her quickly! Do you still want the life of a national treasure?"

"This little girl is so ignorant of the sky and the earth!"

Seeing that everyone was about to come forward to cause trouble, an experienced old man immediately stood up and said loudly: "If you guys don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The baby of National Treasure has an epilepsy attack. The little girl is saving him. This disease may be a death! You guys retreat quickly and don't hinder others from saving people!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately stepped back a little, fearing that there would be trouble to come to him, and whispered.

Ni Yan raised her eyes and looked at the old man who was talking with gratitude.

The old man was wearing reading glasses and a white vest, revealing a literati-like look. He didn't look like an ordinary farmer, but like he was going to the countryside to enjoy his old age.

The child was still twitching, and the aunt cried in a hurry, "National Treasure, you can't have anything to do... If you leave, how can I live?"

While taking emergency measures, Ni Yan said, "Auntie, please unbutton the national treasure."

"Okay, OK!" The aunt came to her senses, trembling hands, and unbuttoned.

During this period, the child closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale, and he slowly stopped twitching, his breathing became slower and slower, and there were almost no vital signs on his body.

The conversation started to sound again,

"Is this little girl really OK?"

"It's been so long that there has been no movement. Could it be that the child of National Treasure have gone?"

When the aunt heard this, she immediately panicked. She pinched Ni Yan's neck with both hands, shook Ni Yan, and said excitedly: "If my national treasure is good today, I will fight you with this life!"
