Chapter 125 The First Division of Spoils

"I'm here."

Uncle Cao's guilty-looking voice made Shi Xia want to laugh, and she actually did laugh.

"Can't we choose a better place?"

Uncle Cao came out of the toilet and said resentfully, "Where else can I hide besides the toilet with its walls?"

"Right."

Where shall we talk?

Uncle Cao pointed east with one finger, and Shi Xia nodded. Uncle Cao walked ahead quietly, remaining extremely vigilant the whole way.

"Relax, it's alright."

"Better safe than sorry. There are educated youth in the village now, so it's best to be careful."

"That's true. But the educated youth are easy to manipulate. As long as you don't issue them a certificate, they can't go back to the city even if they want to."

Uncle Cao straightened up immediately after bending over.

"Oh yeah—how could I have forgotten about that?"

"It's okay, you get used to threatening people after a while."

Uncle Cao silently turned around.

"Yeah, I remember."

Shi Xia smiled silently and followed Uncle Cao to a cave in the east of the village.

There were other people in the cave: Cao Ping, the other five people who went out to sea, Accountant Xu, the village boatman, and three uncles.

Shi Xia asked Cao Ping to deliver a message to a few people; she had something to give them.

"Shi Xia is here."

"Shi Xia, sit here."

Everyone in the room, regardless of age, stood up.

"Sit down, don't be so polite. Hurry up and finish distributing the food so you can go back without attracting attention."

Shi Xia's words made a lot of sense. Everyone sat down, tilted their heads forward, and looked at Shi Xia in the same direction.

"this one!"

With a thud, a bag of jingling things was thrown into the middle of the crowd.

“These past few days, we were kidnapped by people from an overseas country and forced to mine. I accidentally became the second-in-command and cooperated with the Chinese military to bring all the fishermen back.”

"Most of the rubies were handed over; these are what I kept."

"Let's make this clear first: once you've divided these things, you have to keep quiet about it. And we're handing over all the rubies."

"Let me make this clear from the start: I will not admit to anything if anyone betrays me. My family has more and more awards and certificates; someone as upright and righteous as me could never make such a mistake."

"Of course, I hold grudges. I won't help you with fishing anymore, and I can't ask the Goddess of the Sea and Mountains for protection when you go out to sea."

Shi Xia rattled off a string of words, but her last sentence, "I no longer ask the Goddess of Sea Cucumber for blessings," was what everyone cared about most.

"Don't worry, Shi Xia, we'll keep this to ourselves."

“Even if we distribute it, we can’t distribute it to every family. There will always be some people who can’t keep their mouths shut. I think it would be better to convert it into cash, and then the village can distribute a little more at the end of each year and distribute it to everyone gradually.”

Uncle Cao looked at Accountant Xu.

"Old Xu, what do you think? How about making some changes to the books?"

Accountant Xu pushed up his round glasses and nodded.

“Sure, we happen to have kelp and seaweed, plus income from fishing, so it’s easy to handle.”

"The village chief's idea is good. After converting the money, we can buy some livestock, which will increase the income of our village."

"Yes, yes, yes, it would be good to buy a few pigs, so we can slaughter them and eat them during the New Year!"

"That's right, at least we'll have something presentable when we offer sacrifices to the Goddess of Sea Cucumber."

Everyone chatted away, and soon they had figured out how to use the rubies.

After listening for a while, Shi Xia said, "Okay, but we definitely can't sell them all at once, and it's best not to sell them in our county."

"I'll haul bricks and tiles tomorrow, and then I'll ask around after I get ashore."

Shi Xia thought she should go and see how things were going with Baldy Brother, since he had a wide network of connections.

"Okay, we'll do whatever Shi Xia says." "That's right, we'll cooperate with you!"

The first "spoils division" meeting on Hai San Island concluded successfully. Shi Xia carried a bag of rubies home and hid it directly in the nest of the little eagle in the big tree.

If someone comes to inspect or search, the eaglet will snatch it and fly away immediately.

The next morning, Shi Xia got up, and after making some noise, Xu Danhong knocked on the door and came in.

"Shixia, is it okay if we have stir-fried water spinach, rice porridge, and flatbread for breakfast?"

"The water spinach has sprouted?"

"Yes, she's very beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xia decided to go and see for herself.

Lush, green, and vibrant water spinach of varying heights is growing in the pot.

"The one you planted is growing well. When you want to eat it, you can cut off a little bit, and it will grow taller again in a few days. It feels like you can eat it for a long time."

“My aunt came over to ask for seeds to take back and plant, but they all rotted from being soaked and didn’t grow well.”

Xu Danhong spoke, and Shi Xia listened.

It seems that seeds soaked in supernatural abilities have a stronger growth capacity.

Shi Xia smiled as she stared at the water spinach in front of her; this was her future honor.

Being too capable can also be a burden!

Shi Xia ate three bowls of porridge and four pancakes for breakfast, and another wonderful day began.

She hummed a little tune as she went out, and not far away she saw Cheng Qingmin drawing circles in the same spot.

"Teacher Cheng, what are you doing?"

"Principal Shi—I didn't do anything, I just had to go to work."

Cheng Qingmin looked at Shi Xia with slight nervousness and asked, "Principal, what classes do you plan to teach today?"

"I'm not going to class, I'm going out."

Cheng Qingmin's face fell instantly, and he pitifully clutched his hair, which had lost a lot of weight.

"What, are you in trouble?"

When Shi Xia asked, Cheng Qingmin shook his head with a wry smile.

"No, no, I just wanted to say that you're busy, Principal."

Cheng Qingmin almost cried the moment he turned around.

He was the only teacher in the entire school, just him, just him!
Shi Xia watched Cheng Qingmin's retreating figure and sighed.

"Just say what's on your mind. How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"

Shi Xia had never been a teacher before, but when she was a teacher, the children were indeed very obedient.

Therefore, she had no idea of ​​the pain Cheng Qingmin was currently experiencing.

Shi Xia was humming a little tune as she strolled through the village. When she reached the seaside, she saw Big White, who had gone out early that morning to let the other geese out.

At that moment, Da Bai was being stopped by the educated youth named Guo Yunyun.

Guo Yunyun was holding a few yellowed vegetable leaves and waving at Big White.

"Big White, right? Come and eat something delicious!"

Big White didn't move.

"Come here, it's really delicious."

Guo Yunyun planned to lure Da Bai over, then catch it, break its legs, and lie that she had saved it.

I heard that Shi Xia was very kind to a goose. If she says that, let's see how she can refuse to help her.

"Come here right now!"

Guo Yunyun didn't have much patience to call out, and Da Bai clearly gave her an impatient look. He lowered his head and took out a few fresh and tender water spinach from the small cloth bag around his neck.

With a few quick crunches, the water spinach was gone. Da Bai looked at Guo Yunyun and yelled: "Gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga, gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga!"

Although Guo Yunyun couldn't understand, she felt that she was being discriminated against by a goose.

Why should a goose get to eat fresh vegetables, while they've been here for so long and haven't even been able to eat the yellowed vegetable leaves?

"go to hell!"
