I traveled through time, this is unscientific

Chapter 199: Dividing the Ducks

199 points

Everyone brought back good stuff! Look at the little carrot heads queuing up behind.

Zhou Xiaozhou secretly congratulated himself on his cleverness, having increased the order from five roast ducks to ten. Judging from the situation, there might not even be enough to share among the ten crispy ducks.

Sure enough, the stones picked up by the later children were all of good quality, and it was difficult to tell which was better. As a result, Zhou Xiaozhou gave the duck that he wanted to keep for Wu Sanmei to Wu Xiaobao, which was like the meat being rotten in the pot.

Anyway, it's all given to his family.

This kid took advantage of Wu Sanmei's inattention and ran away. Wu Sanmei guessed that he was going to dig stones, so she didn't go looking for him.

Zhou Xiaozhou was just about to ask why he hadn't seen this funny guy for a long time, it turned out that he had gone to earn money for his family.

The children who got the crispy duck had very satisfied looks on their faces. Their little noses kept sniffing the greasy duck sprinkled with sesame seeds, just like greedy puppies.

Zhang Gou'er gave the crispy duck directly to his mother.

The smile on Aunt Zhang's face was so dazzling that Zhou Xiaozhou was very happy to see this scene. He felt that he had done a great thing.

In exchange for ten crispy ducks, Zhou Xiaozhou received a mountain of pressure stones.

Well! It seems that I need to buy a few more fish tanks for my master.

Zhou Xiaozhou looked at Chen Dahe several times, and Chen Dahe finally couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at me?"

"You are really generous. Look, I can pick out so many beautiful stones just for you to raise fish."

Chen Dahe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When did he say he wanted to raise fish? Wasn't that just an excuse?

The noisy children came and left quickly. After all, no one had time to play here for half a day.

Watching a group of children following the adults who were watching, Zhou Xiaozhou knew that they were going to the woods to dig ground beans. A half-grown child could be considered a laborer, so who could play every day?

Zhou Xiaozhou and the other two also started packing up and preparing to go back.

But there is one important matter to be resolved right now.

Zhou Xiaozhou crossed his arms and touched his chin with one hand: "What do you think? Should we transport these things back? Or should we leave them here?"

She was asking about Chen Dahe and Ge Meili, but in the next sentence she asked about Wu Sanmei.

"Third sister! If I put something here, no one will take it!"

Who would want these stones? Wu Sanmei looked at them with amusement.

"No, no one wants the stones. But should we put the remaining rice in the school?"

No one wants the stones, but the same may be true for the rice. Although there are no criminals in the village, if there were any, they would have been punished by the village just like Huang Laosan.

But Wu Sanmei couldn't guarantee that she would not be guilty of petty theft.

Zhou Xiaozhou didn't care. It was just a little rice. Besides, weren't there a pair of eyes watching here all the time?

If someone really took Zhou Xiaozhou's things, she would also have a way to make that person spit them out.

Now it is the village begging them to exchange rice and find water sources, not Zhou Xiaozhou begging the village.

"Let it go! Let it go! Our car can't carry all of this away."

Chen Dahe took the initiative to speak up, and Zhou Xiaozhou then realized that they had to bring back the things from the exploration team this time!

When Zhou Xiaozhou thought of this, he felt bad.

It's all bullshit.

"Then shall we come tomorrow?" Zhou Xiaozhou still resented the fact that the working group had confiscated her things.

I don't want to come. I want to give up and have a good fight with the golden thigh.

"Come on! The kids will miss you if you don't come."

"That's okay!"

It would be easier to get down with a step, so Zhou Xiaozhou agreed reluctantly.

The three of them drove the Wu siblings home. When they arrived at the Wu family's yard, the person who opened the door was Li Dahu.

The young man was very happy and carried Wu Xiaobao out of the car with a smile.

"Third sister, you are back."

Wu Sanmei took his hand and got out of the car with a smile on her face.

Zhou Xiaozhou joked with him: "You picked up gold, you are laughing so happily."

Li Dahu rubbed his head and said, "I am happier than picking up gold! Third sister, did you know that I went to my mother's house with my father early this morning? Guess what we did?"

Wu Sanmei blushed and asked, "Where have you been?"

"My father sent the half bag of rice he got from your house yesterday to my mother's house and exchanged it for two large bags of grains."

Zhou Xiaozhou: Oh wow! This Li Jinniu is really a talent! I made all the profit from the price difference. It turns out that the two of them I saw on the way to the ancestral hall just now were really this father and son. It turns out that they went to exchange food.

This old lady must be what grandma meant!

"My family's rice?" Wu Sanmei was surprised. Obviously she didn't know about this.

"Well, my dad mentioned it to the village chief last night, and the village chief agreed to let my dad give it a try. Unexpectedly, the people there were willing to make the change."

Does this mean you have enough money?

"That's great. The villagers can exchange rice for this kind of grains, so they can fill their stomachs more fully."

Wu Sanmei was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Zhou Xiaozhou was also happy, but she thought of a problem.

"Hey! Da Hu, is your mother's village far from here? Are there many people over there? Can they be exchanged for the 2,000 kilograms of grain in the village?"

The words were well-intentioned, but they made the child change his expression.

"After I came back, my dad said that I wouldn't be able to exchange these next time I go."

Ok?

Wu Sanmei explained: "Sister Zhou, Da Hu's parents' home is quite far from here. They left early in the morning and are just returning home now!"

"Ah? Wouldn't it take a whole day to go back and forth?"

"Isn't it just a day's walk?"

The voice came from behind, and it was Li Jinniu who came out from the next room and heard them talking.

"Hey! Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ge, are you guys going home after class?"

"Hey! Brother Jinniu, we have finished today's work. The two thousand kilograms of grain given to the village have been stored in the ancestral hall. Do you want to go take a look?"

Zhou Xiaozhou replied.

"We can trust you scholars to do the work."

Li Jinniu was not vague and continued to talk about the topic that Zhou Xiaozhou and others wanted to hear.

"Alas! How can a family like us afford to eat that white rice? That's only for the rich and powerful. I thought, wouldn't it be a waste if I put this good stuff into my stomach? That's why I came up with this idea. Please don't laugh at me!"

"It's good that Brother Jinniu can think of this. Just like what Third Sister said, coarse grains can be eaten, and it can also make the Farming and Reading Doll full, which is good."

Chen Dahe echoed Li Jinniu's words!

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Chen. I won't keep you any longer. Let's go home quickly! The sun is about to set."

People were already trying to kick them out, but Zhou Xiaozhou and the others didn't know what was tactful and just left.

On the way, Zhou Xiaozhou asked Chen Dahe: "What do you think he meant? Why did he rush us away in such a hurry? Is he hiding some secret from us?"
