Everyone brought their small stools to the yard and sat down one after another. The sunlight shone in the yard, dappled and shining, illuminating everyone's curious and expectant faces.

Shen Li was like a cheerful little bird. She moved the four baskets to the front with light steps, and then happily took out the things one by one.

Her eyes sparkled as she took out her things and introduced them enthusiastically.

"Look, this is the pipe I carefully selected for grandpa. Grandpa has always wanted a good pipe." Shen Li shook the pipe in his hand. The texture of the pipe looked very good, and it had a faint luster in the sun.

"And this one, this is the headscarf I bought for grandma." Shen Li picked up the headscarf and shook it open. The patterns on the headscarf were bright and generous, and it fluttered gently in the wind, as if one could see the joy on grandma's face after she put it on.

"These are the snacks I bought for everyone. They are delicious." Shen Li opened the snack box, and a sweet aroma immediately filled the air.

"And the meat I braised myself. It took me a lot of effort to make it."

After saying that, Shen Li opened the oil paper package containing the braised meat, and the braised meat with tempting color and fragrant aroma appeared in front of everyone.

Then I saw some other things being taken out one after another, including meat, rice, cloth, salt and sugar.

Zhang Dashan and his wife Qin were stunned with surprise.

Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were slightly open, as if they were under a spell. They seemed to have forgotten how to speak for a moment and were completely shocked by the scene before them.

At this time, Zhang Ze, Shen Li's uncle, finally couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, so what they said is true? Did your family really get rich?"

His eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, and he stared at Shen Li's family, as if trying to find the answer from their expressions.

Shen Shaodong had actually guessed that such questions would arise sooner or later. After all, anyone would be surprised if so many things were suddenly taken out of the house. They had already discussed how to answer them when they were at home.

He cleared his throat and said softly, "As you know, the weather has been dry and rainy lately. Li'er stumbled upon a hidden spring in the mountains. This was a remarkable discovery. When the government found out, they thought Li'er had done a great deed and rewarded her with 20 taels of silver. Later, Li'er collected some medicinal herbs in the mountains and sold them, earning dozens more taels of silver."

When Qin heard this, her eyes were full of surprise. She couldn't help clapping her hands and said, "Li'er is amazing! She is such a capable child. But you can't just waste the money like this!" As Qin spoke, she frowned and sighed.

Her eyes fell on the things on the ground. Looking at the pile of brand new cloth, meat, grain, salt and sugar, she felt a pang of distress in her heart.

How much money will this cost? In her opinion, although the family has some money, they have to spend it frugally. She knows how difficult life was for her daughter's family in the past.

After Shen Li finished her work, she said seriously, "Grandpa, Grandma, there's a saying that goes, 'You raised me when I was little, and I'll take care of you when you're old.'"

"Grandpa, grandma, our family used to rely on support from your grandma's family to survive."

"Now that we have some money in our hands, we can't let grandma's family live a hard life. If that happens, what kind of people will we become!" After saying this, she winked at her father.

Shen Shaodong understood what she meant. He took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Qin Shi, and said, "Mother, Li'er is right. Here are ten taels of silver. The harvest has been poor these past two years. You and Dad should take this as a last resort."

Qin was about to refuse when Zhang Dashan spoke up, "Mother, please accept it. Your daughter and son-in-law have their own plans."

Zhang quickly chimed in, "Yes, mother. We still have some money left, so we're definitely not going to run out of money. We're planning to start a small business, but we haven't decided what to do yet."

Qin looked at her husband, then at her son, accepted the silver, and said, "Your father and I don't know much about business. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

Shen Shaodong no longer had the reserved attitude he had before, and he quickly said, "Li'er brought back some rabbits from home. When they give birth, I plan to catch some for Dad and Mom to raise."

Qin was surprised and delighted and asked, "How old is Li'er? She can already hunt?"

Shen Li answered happily, "Grandma, they weren't caught by hunting. They were smoked out of the rabbit hole by burning straw. Rabbits reproduce very quickly. They can have 6 to 8 litters a year, and each litter can have 5 to 8 babies. It won't be long before there are a lot of rabbits!"

In fact, what Shen Li was thinking about was the various ways to eat rabbit.

At this moment, Qin saw the two green balls that Shen Li took out from the basket. The balls looked round and plump, with smooth skin, and exuded a fresh scent.

Not to mention that Qin had never seen it before, perhaps only Shen Li and Shen Shaodong had seen it before. This is a watermelon! For Shen Li, watermelon was a very common thing in her previous life.

Shen Li's eyes sparkled, and she quickly and enthusiastically introduced: "Mom, this is what we just happened to meet a foreign vendor selling. The vendor said it's called watermelon.

This watermelon is truly a rarity. It's incredibly juicy. Take a bite, and the sweet juice overflows in your mouth. It's both sweet and thirst-quenching, and delicious! Let's cut it open and try it now!"

Zhang's eyes were filled with surprise when she heard this. She looked back and forth between Shen Li and Shen Shaodong, then looked at Shen Shaodong and said, "You two even met merchants from other places? That's really rare."

Shen Shaodong's face remained calm and composed, and he replied calmly, "Yes, embroiderer.

Li Er saw that this fruit was very novel and she had never seen it before in her life. She thought it was interesting and bought two, wanting everyone to try it together.

In reality, he was feeling incredibly nervous, like a rabbit in his belly. He thought to himself: It's so hard to be following my daughter around all day, covering for her. I'm afraid I'll accidentally let something slip and be discovered by my wife. If she were to be discovered, who knows how long she'd be nagging me.

Soon, the watermelon was cut open, and the bright red flesh looked tempting. When everyone took a bite of the watermelon, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Shen Li was no exception. Her mouth was filled with the sweetness of watermelon and her heart was full of surprise.

She thought to herself: This space product is truly extraordinary! The watermelon's juice was sweet and fragrant, its rich, sweet flavor filling her mouth. It was infinitely better than any watermelon she'd ever tasted before. Every bite was like a dance of pleasure for her taste buds, leaving her with an endless aftertaste.
