Chapter 73
When Ye Jingyou returned to the old house, Ye Jing and Li Xinyu didn't know whether they had gone to the vegetable field or the pepper field.However, rural people are busy. Of course, most of the time, they are quite idle during the slack season.

Ye Jingyou was too lazy to look for Ye Jing and the others, and walked towards the commissary by herself.For her, although she seems to know that eating too many snacks is bad, she still can't help but be greedy, and her favorite is spicy food and pancakes.

Ye Jingyou bought a package of spicy food, two cakes and a bottle of water, and sat at the canteen to watch TV.Well, think about it, should their family also buy a TV?I heard that my uncle's house bought a TV a few days ago, should she also buy a TV and put it on the side of the reservoir to watch with Ye Ziqi and his grandparents?

Although there is a TV in the village, and my uncle’s house also bought a TV, the village is not close to the reservoir, so the old people can’t come down to watch TV together.So, should she buy a TV and put it at home, so convenient?
"Youyou, do you want to pick up snails?"

Just as Ye Jingyou was eating cakes and watching TV, a voice rang in her ear, which brought Ye Jingyou back to her senses in an instant, and she looked at the person who spoke - Chen Xiaoran.

"What?" Ye Jingyou looked at Chen Xiaoran suspiciously, obviously she didn't quite understand what Chen Xiaoran said just now.

Seeing Ye Jingyou's obviously unclear expression, Chen Xiaoran repeated helplessly, "We are going to pick up snails, do you want to go?"

"Picking snails?" Ye Jingyou's eyes lit up in surprise, she looked at Chen Xiaoran expectantly and asked, "What you said is true? Are you going to pick up snails?" She has chopped and planted rice seedlings, but she has not picked up snails. She wants to experience it.Ye Jingyou looked at Chen Xiaoran with a smile.

"Well, there are quite a lot of snails in the field, we have to pick them up, or we will let them eat the seedlings." Chen Xiaoran said with a smile.In fact, rural people like to eat snails very much. Of course, urban people also like to eat them.However, people in the city are very particular about eating snails, but people in the countryside regard eating snails as a common thing, while people in the city do it for novelty.

"Okay, where are you going?" Ye Jingyou asked happily.

"Ah? I just went to the field of A Lu's family. I heard that there are a lot of snails in his field." Chen Xiaoran said.Alu is a young man in the village who is several years older than Ye Jingyou and the others. His name is Chen Lu. He is already in his late teens and almost 20 years old.

"Okay, I'll go back and get the bucket and bamboo basket." Ye Jingyou said with a smile.

"Well, my cousin and I are waiting for you on the road."

"Ah."

Ye Jingyou happily returned to the old house, picked up the bamboo basket and tied it around her waist, picked up the small bucket and ran out happily.In nearly 30 years of life, Ye Jingyou has never picked up snails happily. She still picks up snails to eat when she is training, and it is still used to satisfy her hunger.

Moreover, at that time they all ate raw, not cooked at all.

Ye Jingyou went to the place Chen Xiaoran said was waiting for her with all the equipment, and saw Li Xiuyi, Chen Xiaoran, and Li Xiuyi's sister Li Xiuyan also followed.Li Xiuyan is 19 years old this year, and she is already a college student. Like Li Xiuyi, she has a good temper.

Li Xiuyan is the eldest, and Li Xiuyi is the youngest, and there is a boy in the middle, about sixteen or seventeen years old.Li Xiuyan has a tall figure and a delicate and beautiful appearance. When she smiles, she feels like a spring breeze.Li Xiuyan seemed to be a student of the Department of Biochemistry, Ye Jingyou was very surprised, how could a rural girl like Li Xiuyan like to take such complicated courses as the Department of Biochemistry?
"Youyou, I didn't expect Xiaoran to say that you were the one waiting? I thought it was Qiuping and the others." Li Xiuyan said softly. Li Xiuyan was very gentle when she spoke, and she felt more like a lady than Li Xiuyi. The whole person is very attractive.

"Hehe, Miss Xiuyan, so you're here too? Why did you come back from City B? It seems quite far away." Li Xiuyan was studying in the capital of Huaxia, which shocked the entire Linxi Village back then.After all, it was quite shocking for a girl to be admitted to a university in the capital from a poor mountain valley in such a poor mountain village.

"Isn't it just homesickness? Besides, staying in City B costs more, so I came back." Although Li Xiuyan came from a poor peasant family, her academic performance is very good. What is scholarship.Coupled with the results of her research during school, her tuition and living expenses do not need to worry about at home.

"That's it... Ah, didn't you say you want to pick up snails, let's go." Ye Jingyou said with a smile.

"Well, let's go."

"Hehe, Sister Xiuyan is nice to everyone. Youyou never talked to Sister Xiuyan so kindly before." Chen Xiaoran watched Li Xiuyan and Ye Jingyou talking with a smile, and said to Li Xiuyi who had been silent all this time.

Li Xiuyi looked at her eldest sister, then at Ye Jingyou, and nodded, "My sister has a good temper, and Youyou seems to have a better temper recently, um, I'm getting along with my sister." Li Xiuyi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the current Youyou is fine, I like it very much." Chen Xiaoran said with a smile.

Picking up snails is actually very simple, but Ye Jingyou doesn't know what kind of snails are delicious.For example, snails are delicious, but apple snails are not so delicious.However, Ye Jingyou picked up the snails and apple snails together.Of course, the reproductive ability of apple snails is very strong, and the fields are full of apple snails.

Soon, Ye Jingyou filled up the small buckets and bamboo baskets she brought—they were all apple snails, embarrassing.

"Youyou, why can't you tell the difference between field snails and apple snails?" Chen Xiaoran saw Ye Jingyou picking up a lot of apple snails, and said amusedly.

"Um, I don't know which one is snail and which one is apple snail, so I picked up everything I saw." Ye Jingyou said shyly.

"Actually, apple snails are quite delicious, but because there are a lot of apple snails, every time you cook a lot of them, they tend to get greasy, so no one eats them." Seeing Ye Jingyou's embarrassment, Li Xiuyan relieved her in a good-tempered manner.

"Huh? Really?" Although Ye Jingyou has eaten snails, she doesn't know much about the species of snails.

"Of course, if you don't want to eat it, you can also feed ducks and chickens. Chickens and ducks also like to eat apple snails." Li Xiuyan said softly, and Ye Jingyou's embarrassment gradually subsided with her soft voice.

"Hehe, that's it."

"Let's go, we've picked up almost all of them." Li Xiuyan said.

"Well, let's go home."

When Ye Jingyou brought home a bucket of snails and a bamboo basket of snails, both Father Ye and Grandma Ye were surprised, and looked at their granddaughter very helplessly.

"Youyou, why did you pick up so many apple snails? Are you finished eating? Besides, they are not very tasty." Father Ye looked at a bucket and a bamboo basket of snails, feeling a little headache.
