Chapter 58 fishing for aquatic plants
The children were very curious, but because the family warned them, they really didn’t dare to ask.
One cart couldn’t hold it all, so she spread it out on the shore, laying it out flat to drain the water, which also saved effort.
She went down for a second round, quickly filled it up again, and when all the children had left, she was alone by the reservoir eating her lunch on the water.
Lunch was simply a pancake and a glass of milk. After playing for a while with childlike innocence, she continued. This time, she delivered more than in the morning, and several more children came over.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t bother with them, just carried on with her work, while the kids watched from the shore.
Some of the children even discovered tiny shrimp in the waterweed.
By a little after three in the afternoon, Su Yuanyuan decided not to go back down.
The waterweed she had painstakingly gathered was safest left at her own home.
The children watched her load the cart from a distance, and none approached.
By now the waterweed had drained its moisture. So, it was piled high on the small cart, with sheep pulling it even though they couldn’t see the road ahead clearly. But with sheep, there was reassurance.
