The people in Lao Li's family couldn't sit still at this time, as if the stools were covered with thorns. Think about the fungi all over the mountains and plains, where are the fungi? They are obviously silver!

Everyone was gearing up. If Su Ziling and the others hadn't left, they would have already gone up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs.

Soon, the four of them, my cousin, were back, followed by several women, all holding baskets in their hands and running out of breath.

While running, he greeted Li Dalang and the others, "Dalang, slow down, slow down, your cousin can't run away, I can't even keep up."

Li Zeqi's pace was very fast, "You can't slow down, my cousin and the others have to rush on their way soon, Auntie, please hurry up."

"Okay, okay, okay, but why are your cousins ​​going back so soon? It's already afternoon, rest here for the night, and you can go back tomorrow morning!"

"I guess I am busy at home. I have been harvesting crops these days. If it rains, all my work will be in vain this year."

"What you said is true, but why does she need so many duck eggs?"

"Auntie, you don't want to sell it? We won't force you if you don't want to sell it."

Seeing that Li Zeqi was angry, the woman shrank her neck and said, "Don't, don't, don't. Da Lang, look at your kid too. Why are you so impatient? I just won't ask."

Seeing how tight-lipped Li Zeziqi was, the man didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of irritating him and he really didn't want her duck eggs anymore.

There is a lot of water here, so ducks can survive easily. They will find food by themselves, and there is no need to worry about feeding them, so there are quite a lot of people raising them. However, they are not valuable. Duck eggs cannot be sold at a high price, and ducks are cheaper than chickens. , but as long as you raise a certain amount, there will still be an income.

But this was the first time she saw someone buying so many duck eggs at once, especially when she saw a few people standing in the yard, she became even more curious.

These people all have ducks at home, and now they all appear here.

"Ms. Shunzi, are you here to sell duck eggs too?"

"Yes, yes, Peach Blossom, are you here too?"

"No, when I heard Sanlang asking, I came here with the duck eggs. I don't know why his cousin wants so many duck eggs!"

Suddenly, the yard was filled with their rustling voices.

"Everyone is here. Come, come, come in. Why are you standing in the yard?" Grandma Li came out to greet them.

Su Ziling came out of the house carrying a backpack and said, "Grandma, move a stool to the yard. There are so many people in the house that we can't move around easily."

Grandma Li thought about it, and she was right. She turned to Li Zezhi and the others and shouted, "Dalang, bring some stools out for your aunts and them."

Su Ziling set up her stool, put down her backpack, talked about the price, and by the way, said that if they had duck eggs in the future, they could send them over, and started counting the duck eggs.

Grandma Li and her two aunts also came out to help. The four of them came together quite quickly. After counting each one, they paid one by one. After the duck eggs were packed, they poured sawdust over them to stabilize the eggs.

Five people collected a total of fifty items, which were divided into two baskets. After paying the money, those people left.

After all, every household is very busy now and there is no time for chatting.

The duck eggs were packed, and Su Ziling and Su Zizhong each carried a basket. There was a bucket of fish and shrimp next to them. If there were more shrimps, there would only be a few fish.

Li Dazhu picked up the bucket and came to get Su Ziling's backpack, "Give it to me."

Su Ziling took a step back, "Uncle, there's no need to send it off. It's still early, you don't know how to navigate, and there aren't many things. Just go and do whatever you need to do."

"I'm not worried about you two kids walking at night. I'll see you off. There are so many people at home and there's nothing to do. I won't delay anything if I come back tomorrow morning." Li Dazhu insisted on seeing you off.

Even Grandma Li and the others meant the same thing, but Su Ziling felt that there was really no need to give it away. The family was so busy that their buttocks couldn't touch the floor, and this back and forth would be such a delay.

Besides, it was still early, and it would be downhill for them to go back. It would definitely be faster than when they came here, and they wouldn't be in the dark no matter what.

The two parties were in a stalemate, so Li Zelan took out two torches and said, "Let's do this. I'll send my cousin and the others away, and you'll pick me up tomorrow."

"Hey, you brat, you have such a beautiful idea. Are you coming to pick you up tomorrow? You won't come back if you don't pick you up?" Li Dazhu glared at him.

Li Zelan touched his nose and said, "It's not impossible!"

To be honest, he still wants to go to his cousin's house for a few days. His cousin's cooking is so delicious, and he definitely doesn't want to come back after he goes there!

"Uncle, why don't you let your cousin send us off? He will stay for two days, and you can come and deliver the fungi another day and then we can pick them up together."

Asking Li Zelan to follow him would firstly reassure the elders of Lao Li's family, secondly, it would not delay their survival, and thirdly, he could keep Su Ziling and the others company.

Kill three birds with one stone!

"That's okay." Mr. Li agreed. He looked at Li Zelan and said, "Sanlang, take good care of your cousin and the others."

"Hey, Grandpa, don't worry!" Li Zelan was so happy when he heard that he could go. He ran back to the house, took his bow and arrows and put them on his back, took the torch and carried the bucket, "Grandpa, Grandma, you guys Don’t worry, let’s go, otherwise we’ll be in the dark.”

"Go, go, be careful on the road!"

Looking at the backs of several people, Li Dazhu cursed secretly, "This brat, why do I think he is more active than Xiao Qing and the others?"

The fourth child on the side, Li Mulan, was full of envy, "Grandma, I want to go too."

Kong Chuni touched his head and said, "Go get the backpack. Let's go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms. I'll take you to my cousin's house tomorrow."

In one sentence, Li Mulan was instantly resurrected with full health. Mr. Li, Li Dazhu and the other men continued to collect corn, while Granny Li, her two daughters-in-law and Li Mulan went up the mountain to collect fungi.

The weather is good now, and it looks like the rain won't come for a while. There are many people in the family, so we can just divide it into two groups, making money and harvesting crops at the same time.

The three of them were carrying duck eggs on their backs and carrying buckets, so they had to go a little slower. It started to get dark before they got home, so Li Zelan lit the torch.

One hand was given to Su Zizhong who was walking in front, and the other was held by him and walked at the back, while Su Ziling walked in the middle.

The wind in the mountains was strong, blowing the fire leaves left and right. When they reached the plains, the three of them quickened their pace and looked at the village opposite. The house at the head of the village was brightly lit.

Su Ziling pointed there and said to Li Zelan: "The brightest house there is my house."

Li Zelan's eyes widened, "Cousin, you still light so many lights at night, how bright are the lights?"

Oil lamps were still a luxury item in this era. People usually went to bed after dark and didn't use them as much as possible.

Su Ziling was silent, glanced at Li Zelan, who was so excited that he felt as if he had been shot. After a long time, he said, "There is no such bright light, so maybe it was a fire pit."

Li Zelan: "..."

"Makes sense."
