"Each of you go back to your bedroom and take a nap, wait until almost everyone in the village is asleep before setting off." Chen Zhaodi gave the order, and the old and young men who participated in catching eels at night went back to their houses to rest without saying a word.

If the purpose of catching eels is to improve the life of the family, even if some people are jealous, they can only blame themselves for their incompetence. However, the Liu family obviously catches eels to sell them for money, so they cannot do it in a big way.

Wait until almost everyone in the village is asleep before catching eels. In fact, it may not be possible to hide it from everyone's eyes.

For this reason, Chen Zhaodi thought for a long time before she came up with an excuse that could hide the truth, and the whole family agreed on the same

Liu Xinyu did not agree with Chen Zhaodi's words and ideas.

After Liu Houxing and others returned to the house to rest, he took Chen Zhaodi and brought her up with her idea: "Nay, I think we can't hide the fact that we catch and sell eels. Instead of letting people cut off the tail of capitalism, we should

Let’s communicate with the production team ourselves first to see if we can exchange eels for work points.”

"Exchanging eels for work points? How can you lose yourself to death!" Chen Zhaodi immediately exploded upon hearing this.

A strong laborer in the production team is only given ten work points at most a day, and women and the elderly are generally given only five to seven work points.

Even if it’s ten work points, how much is it worth?

In a good harvest year, ten work points can be worth about one dollar.

In years when the harvest is bad, it may only be worth 50 or 60 cents.

Regardless of whether the production team is willing to exchange eels for work points, even if the production team is willing, Chen Zhaodi is certain that a pound of eels will never be exchanged for ten work points.

Liu Xinyu did not understand the value of work points in the production team. Through the popularization of Chen Zhaodi, she also felt that her idea was not feasible. However, this matter must be cleared up in the production team, otherwise it may cause an uncontrollable disturbance.

It would have been better if it had been two years later. Liu Xinyu sighed secretly.

"Okay, go back and do your work! I have other things to do. If I need to cut my tail, they will cut off my tail!" Seeing Liu Xinyu wrinkle and sigh, Chen Zhaodi waved her hand to Liu Xinyu impatiently.

, chasing her home like a fly.

Forget it, Chen Zhaodi is not that easy to persuade, so she should stop doing useless work.

Just take it one step at a time and the ship will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Let’s complete this order first.

When she got home, Liu Xinyu wanted to give her the clothes she had made for Zhang Hongyun, but she picked them up and put them down again.

The Zhang family is not at peace today, so it’s better not to get into trouble.

There was still a lot of time before catching eels, and she didn't plan to take a break. She might as well mend those rain boots while she had some free time.

After finding files, glue, and a half-broken bicycle inner tube from the wooden cabinet drawer in the utility room, Liu Xinyu got busy in the main room.

Although I have Liu Qingshan's inheritance, this is my first time doing such manual work, and I don't know where to start.

Liu Xinyu calmed herself down and went through the inheritance from Liu Qingshan about repairing in her mind. After about a quarter of an hour, she finally had the process of repairing in her mind, and then she picked up the file and started to act.

The patches on the first pair looked a bit rough, the second pair were obviously much better, and the third pair started to play tricks...

When Chen Zhaodi came over with the young and old men at home, Liu Xinyu not only mended several pairs of rain boots with holes, but also made some modifications.

If you don't know the origin of these rain boots, you won't be able to tell that they have been mended, and you will definitely think that they were originally like this.

All in all, Liu Xinyu felt quite satisfied.

"Did I see it wrong? I remember that only one of these rain boots had a small hole in this place. Why are both of them broken now?" Chen Zhaodi picked up a pair of green rain boots and pointed at the plum blossom-shaped patch in surprise.

asked.

Liu Xinyu touched her nose sheepishly.

To make it look better, she specially put a patch of the same shape on the rain boots without holes, in symmetrical positions.

She chose this pair of green rain boots for herself, but it was a pity that the broken bicycle inner tubes only came in black.

Liu Xinyu looked embarrassed. She didn't understand anything. Chen Zhaodi glared at Liu Xinyu dissatisfiedly: "If you have this time, why not step on the sewing machine and help mend a few clothes? Don't do such useless work!"

"Okay, it's not a big deal for a girl to love being beautiful!" Liu Houxing was worried that if Chen Zhaodi continued to ramble on, Liu Xinyu would be unhappy and the relationship that had finally become harmonious would return to the freezing point. He quickly coughed and said: "By the way,

Xinyu, where is the best place to put the eel cage?"

Of course Liu Xinyu knew this. In fact, she had already communicated with Liu Houxing in the afternoon. Now Liu Houxing came to ask her again, just to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

The current Liu Xinyu is not the squeamish and willful Liu Xinyu before, so of course she will not be angry because of Chen Zhaodi's few words.

Anyway, the rain boots had been patched according to her wishes, and Chen Zhaodi could not tear off the patches.

However, she would not disappoint Liu Houxing's kindness, and simply explained the tips on how to remove the cage: "Now the temperature is relatively high, the eels are more active, and the need for foraging is strong. The cage should be placed where there are more small fish and shrimps."

, such as places with lush aquatic plants.

In addition, eels are afraid of rapids, so if you place a cage by a river, you should place it in still water next to flowing water.

My father and I have gone to place cages before, and we know where the cages are suitable and how they should be placed. I will go with you later."

"Put it where you want, just tell us, don't go." Liu Houxing shook his head, "Although there is still more than a month before school starts, your grades have always been good, but you have never been a teacher, and you are still here.

Read more books at home to prepare for lessons."

Reading is fine, but Liu Xinyu feels it’s too early to prepare for lessons.

Director Shan's order must be completed no matter what, and it cannot affect his son's wedding banquet.

Liu Xinyu tried hard to persuade Liu Houxing and Chen Zhaodi to relent.

After preparing various tools for catching eels, iron buckets, flashlights and torches for lighting, the village gradually became quiet.

The alarm clock turned to half past nine. Chen Zhaodi went out and looked around to make sure there were no pedestrians on the village street. When she came back, she whispered: "I can't see any lights on any house. Everyone should be asleep."

Everyone stood up, carried or carried something on their back, ready to go.

"Wait a minute, everyone put on your rain boots first." Liu Xinyu pointed to a few pairs of rain boots placed under the table, "Whether it is by the river or by the fields, snakes like to appear most, so even if you put on your rain boots, they will step on them.

You won’t be afraid of being bitten when you see a snake.”

Chen Zhaodi's first reaction was to stop everyone from changing their shoes.

Even if the holes in these rain boots have not been patched by Liu Xinyu, there will definitely be people willing to buy them, and they will still sell for a good price.

Now that Liu Xinyu had patched them up, they were no different from new ones. She complained about Liu Xinyu, but in fact she had already made up her mind to only keep one pair for Liu Qingsong and Liu Xinyu each, and sell the others.

She doesn't want the genuine price, and someone will definitely snatch it up at half price.
