Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

After exchanging 3 bananas with Xue Li, Jiang Yu went back to her room. She sat on the edge of the kang and looked at the banana in her hand. The fruit was yellow like a crescent moon. After peeling off the outer skin, the light yellow fruit was exposed. She took a bite and it had a sweet, soft and dense taste in her mouth. It was slightly sticky, but very sweet and delicious!

Ginger Fish threw the peels into the trash can, put the two remaining bananas on a plate, and stuffed them into the cupboard to save for tomorrow.

After a good night's sleep, Jiang Yu felt a little bit of coolness when he sat up from the quilt the next morning. Today was Zhuang Caier's wedding day.

Replace the coat with a cotton coat and put on a short-sleeved shirt inside. Jiang Yu doesn't know, but her way of dressing is exactly the same as that of young people with a bright future. In two words, fashion~

The cotton that Xue Li gave her has been given to an aunt in the village who has learned tailoring. Together with the plain gray and white cotton cloth, she will have cotton trousers to wear in a few days.

Although the constant temperature suit can keep her warm, she still wears cotton pants for the sake of fitting in.

After washing up, Xue Li came over and asked her when she would go to Captain Zhuang's house.

"Let's do it later, around 9 to 10 o'clock." Jiang Yu ate the hot steamed bun.

Xue Li nodded, "Then come to my room later. I've packed my things and you can choose which watch you want first."

"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded and took a sip of the egg drop soup.

Xue Li left after she finished speaking. Her breakfast was not ready yet, and as soon as she woke up, he came over in a hurry and asked her to pick something.

It's another day to make money~ Xue Li fiddled with a few watches on the table, and his heart was filled with joy~

The average price is 120,5 watches are 600 yuan! Come on, keep working hard, the millionaire is waving to you, little chestnut!

Not long after, Jiang Yu came knocking on the door with money.

The two men closed the door stealthily and started the transaction like they were underground gang members meeting each other.

The five watches Xue Li took out were all simple and classic styles, without the luxurious feeling of diamonds or gemstones. They had metal bodies, steel chains, and were a low-key gray color.

Jiang Yu chose a watch with a smaller dial and a thinner strap. It was obviously a ladies' watch. She glanced at the brand on it, which was written in a foreign language.

"Don't shout out prices randomly. I don't have a watch ticket either." Jiang Yu looked at Xue Li who opened her mouth and immediately reminded her.

"Then, let's say 150. The extra will be converted into ticket money." Xue Li originally wanted to say 130.

Jiang Yu glared, quickly took out the money, counted out 17 big unity notes and handed them over, "I don't know the exact price, I'll give you 170, I won't care if it's less."

Xue Li took the money and said, "That's enough." In fact, she didn't know the specific price of these watches at the moment. Anyway, domestically produced ones are basically one hundred and twenty or thirty, and foreign ones are more expensive. She also quoted according to this range, the only difference is the ticket.

After Jiang Yu finished the transaction, she knocked on the doors of Fu Biao and Wu Aiqing and shook the watch on her wrist to them as a reminder.

Fu Biao and Wu Aiqing nodded in understanding and watched her leave.

While there was still time, Jiang Yu took the two bananas from his room and headed straight for Yaoer Mountain.

Yi Chi came to add firewood to the cellar last night, so when Jiang Yu arrived, he felt that the ground was warm, without even a trace of frost.

"Yi Chi?" Jiang Yu looked around but didn't see the tall and thin figure.

Maybe he was busy? Jiang Yu guessed that she went to check the foundation again and thought that she could start building the wooden house today.

In order to make the wooden house firm, Jiang Yu decided to use bricks and wet mud to fix the bottom planks. She put the bananas aside, took out the hammer and nails, found the right planks and started working.

The length of the crossbeam is the same as the length of the foundation. Arrange the wooden boards neatly and nail three crossbeams to fix them. The three sides of the house are made in this way.

Only one side needs to add a door and a window, so we need to cut wooden boards to make the frame, so we have to come later.

When Yi Chi came over carrying the roof beams and the hare, Jiang Yu was mixing wet mud and straw, preparing to erect two bricks on the foundation as supports to fix the wooden boards.

"Jiang Yu, aren't you going to attend Zhuang Caier's wedding? Why are you here to work?" Yi Chi quickly put down the log and rabbit and went over to help.

A faint but delicate fragrance instantly hit Jiang Yu's face. She took a deep breath and asked, "What's that smell on you?" A little familiar?

Yi Chi blinked in confusion, "Smell? What smell?" There shouldn't be any smell. He didn't eat any onions or garlic in the morning, so there shouldn't be any strange smell...

Jiang Yu turned his head and looked towards the source of the fragrance. There were two yellow logs lying on the open space next to them. Although they were not long or thick, they had a heavy smell and beautiful patterns all over them. They would glow when the sun shone directly on them. "What kind of wood is this?"

"Nanmu," Yi Chi replied, "Ah, that's the fragrance you smell. Isn't it fragrant?"

"Hmm, it smells good." Jiang Yu has a keen sense of smell. Xue Li finds even lightly scented face creams pungent when she uses them on a daily basis, but now she feels that the smell of this wood is very comfortable, the kind that makes her feel relaxed all over.

Yi Chi smiled, "This wood is a bit long for making beams. I'll give you some of it when I cut it off. Put it in your room, and the whole house will be filled with fragrance in a day."

Jiang Yu didn't know that golden nanmu was very valuable. She just thought it was ordinary wood. Yi Chi was willing to use it to make roof beams, so she had no burden to buy it.

A gap was left between the two rows of bricks that was just big enough for the thick wooden board to be inserted into. Jiang Yu and Yi Chi worked together and finished it before 9 o'clock.

"I'll come over in the afternoon. If the bricks are dry, we'll erect these wooden walls and put them in." Jiang Yu gave him a banana, told him the afternoon arrangements, and hurried back to the educated youth site.

Yi Chi stayed where he was with the banana. He had snared several rabbits and was going to skin and tan them and put them together to make a mattress for the ginger fish.

Zhuang Shouren's house was bustling with activity. Many close villagers were sitting and chatting in his house. Today was the day when the captain's daughter was getting married, and everyone was very supportive.

When Jiang Yu and his companions arrived at the place, Zhuang Dashan's wife was holding her belly and talking to someone she knew. When she saw them, she immediately came over to greet them.

"Master Jiang, Xue Zhiqing, Chen Zhiqing, Fu Zhiqing, Wu Zhiqing, come in and sit down." She greeted them warmly.

Not only the Zhuang family, but also the villagers smiled when they saw Jiang Yu. Some gave him some melon seeds, others some peanuts. Before they even walked into the house, Jiang Yu and Xue Li's pockets were full.

The two of them kept thanking each other, and their faces turned sour from smiling.
