Chapter 26

Back home, it suddenly became lively again.

Da Zhuang tied the calf in the yard, and gently brushed its fur with a bristle brush. Wang San'er held the piglet and took it to the back mountain to eat grass. The chickens were enclosed by a fence, chirping incessantly. Wang Xiao Si not only sprinkled them some greens, but also dug for earthworms everywhere.

Recently, He Xiaoya has been taking care of the hatchery and has gained quite some experience. She was no longer as nervous as when she first started. She set up a table at the hatchery door, cut up silk and cotton cloth, and sewed wadded jackets, cotton trousers, blankets and quilt covers for everyone.

Li Yao was not idle either.

Since they were going to make cotton quilts, they would definitely need to make cotton batting first, and to make cotton batting, they would need to tease raw cotton.

This was a technical task, and she only roughly knew the method, never having tried it with her own hands before, so she couldn't be impatient and had to carefully prepare.

"Brother Er," Du Xiao Hui, a neighbor's daughter who now dared to come into the yard, said, "These are some wild fruits I picked in the mountain. Try a couple."

Li Yao took a look. They were a few kiwifruits, looking quite delicious. But with so many people in the yard, why did this girl only give them to Brother Er?

"Du Xiao Hui, come over here."

"Ah?" Du Xiao Hui's heart skipped a beat as she walked over apprehensively, clutching her clothes tightly, "Auntie, do you need something?"

"Do you know tea seeds?"

"I do."

"Then go and help me pick some tea seeds," Li Yao said. "Pick one pound and I'll pay you 2 wen for labor."

Du Xiao Hui was completely dumbfounded.

Tea seeds could be found everywhere in the mountain, falling on the ground with no one to pick them up.

Just one tea seed tree could produce dozens of pounds!

Aunt Li was actually willing to pay her 2 wen per pound, this was simply letting her pick up money!

"I'll go right now!"

"Don't rush," Li Yao said, "Don't go alone, it's best to ask your mother to go with you."

"Okay!"

Du Xiao Hui hurried home, halfway through she turned back, placed the few wild kiwifruits next to Brother Er, before calling her mother to go pick tea seeds together.

"Brother Er," looking at the few kiwifruits, Wang Xiao Si's saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, "Do you think these fruits are sour?"

"Don't know." Brother Er handed the kiwifruits to Li Yao again, "Mother, you eat."

"I won't eat, you can share them."

Li Yao didn't know if the kiwifruits were sour, but the damned taste of love really was.

...

"Grandma!"

Wang Xiao Si charged into the old Wang house like a gust of wind.

"Why the panic? Did something happen?"

"My mother asked me to borrow your scale and two needles."

"Needles?" Grandma Wang was taken aback. "What does your mother need needles for?
