Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 212 Lure the Bee

She covered the beehive, wiped it with a coarse cloth, and hung it out to dry in the yard.

She walked around the yard and found the best place to raise bees was in the corner of the vegetable garden next to her room.

It's a relatively secluded place and no one usually goes there.

She decided to wait for Chunzhi to come back, and then they would work together to make a rack to fix the beehive. When the bees were attracted, they would just install it there.

After the beehive was completed, she began to change into cloth shoes and prepared to go to the village chief's house to borrow sugar.

An Yue took off her apron, brushed off the dust on her body, and muttered to herself, "I wonder if they are home now!"

Then she walked out of the yard with the big bowl, locked the gate, and walked towards the west end of the village.

——Half a quarter of an hour later.

An Yue came to the village chief's house. The gate of the yard was closed. An Yue walked up and knocked on the door a few times.

dong dong dong.

"I've already told you that we can't help you! We can't help you! What else do you want from us?" Qin's impatient voice came from inside the courtyard wall.

"Aunt, it's me, An Yue."

After a few breaths, the door was opened.

"It's Yueyue!" Qin opened the door and saw that it was Anyue. She hurriedly walked forward with a smile and pulled Anyue into the courtyard gate.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Qin sighed helplessly, "Hey! I've been upset these past two days because of your grandmother."

"Aunt, do you know what they have done? They actually asked the county government to send people to take them away."

After Qin and An Yue entered the main house, she asked An Yue to sit on a bench. Qin said, "They are absolutely lawless and so bold! It's ok for them to steal trees from the barren hills to build thatched houses, but they... they even stole trees to sell!"

When An Yue heard that they stole trees and sold them, she was shocked and asked, "What? Stealing trees and selling them? Who did they sell them to?"

"I sold it to Wang Ergou from the next village. Wang Ergou is notorious in his village. He is not well-liked by the villagers. His house is about to collapse, and he has no money to rebuild it."

"So, we had no choice but to buy trees from your grandfather at a low price, barely supporting the roof beams, and the family could just make ends meet."

Qin paused, then continued, "I don't know if someone reported it or what, but the county government found out and sent people to arrest them."

An Yue asked curiously, "How should they be punished for what they did?"

Qin shook her head: "We can only wait for the trial in the county government. However, this matter touches the bottom line of the county government. If everyone is like them, this huge county will be in chaos! Oh! I don't think they will let them go easily."

An Yue didn't say anything, just nodded.

Qin then remembered that An Yue came to see her for something important.

So, he asked, "Oh, by the way, Yueyue came all the way to see my aunt, but what's the important matter?"

"Aunt, Yueyue wants to borrow some candy and a bamboo hat from you."

"Sugar and a bamboo hat? The candy Yueyue wants is this?" Qin said, pointing at the pottery jar on the coffee table in the main hall.

An Yuetian smiled and nodded: "Yes, aunt."

Qin stood up, brought the pottery jar to An Yue and asked, "How much sugar does Yue Yue want?"

"Yueyue wants to borrow a bowl. Do you think it's possible?" An Yue asked embarrassedly.

"If Yueyue wants a lot, just take them all! Anyway, your aunt won't be going out these days, and there's no need to keep the candy at home." Qin pushed the pottery jar to An Yue.

"How can that be? You must not take your blood sugar problem lightly. You must keep some for backup. Yueyue is only asking you to borrow it because she needs it urgently."

"Okay, okay, listen to Yueyue. Let aunt-in-law keep a little for me, and Yueyue can take the rest!" Qin said as she opened the pottery jar.

After a while, a bowl of sugar was filled. An Yue held the bowl carefully, afraid that some of the sugar would spill out.

Then, Qin went to get the hat and gave it to An Yue.

An Yue wore a bamboo hat, held a sugar bowl, and smiled sweetly as she thanked Qin: "Thank you, Auntie. Yueyue will go back now! When I have time another day, Yueyue will come to talk to you about family matters."

"Come, come, come. Yueyue, be careful on the road and don't fall asleep!" Qin stood up and reminded An Yue as she walked her out of the courtyard gate.

An Yue responded with a "hmm", "Yueyue knows, aunt, please go back!"

Afterwards, An Yue walked back and forth towards her home with the bowl of sugar in her hand.

After a while, we arrived home.

She opened the gate of the yard, put her hat under the eaves, and ran straight to the kitchen with the sugar bowl.

When she arrived at the kitchen, she first scrubbed the pot clean, then added an appropriate amount of water into it, and then went to the stove to start a fire.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the water in the pot began to boil. She poured half a bowl of sugar into the pot, stirred it constantly with a wooden spatula, and simmered it slowly over low heat.

Soon, the whole kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of sugar.

After boiling the sugar water, An Yue put it into a jar and covered the jar with a bowl.

She took the hat to her room, covered it with gauze, changed into winter coarse cloth clothes, and then went to Anyan's room to take a pair of Anyan's socks as gloves.

She put the beehive into her backpack, took a small brush, held the can of sugar water in her arms, and said loudly to Chunzhi who was watering the land in the east of the yard: "Chunzhi, remember to make lunch. I'm going to go out for a while."

Then she walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, An Yue always walked carefully, for fear of breaking the jar of sugar water.

When she reached the foot of the back mountain, she found a flat place, put the beehive in place, and then put on her hat and long socks.

She gently opened the lid of the beehive, brushed the inside of the beehive with sugar water, and then found a place not far from the beehive and placed the beehive.

After doing all this, An Yue found a place to sit quietly and observe the reactions of the bees.

Time passed by breath by breath, and before I knew it, it was already past noon.

Just when An Yue was about to go home, she found two bees wandering around the beehive.

Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, they flew away again.

An Yue was a little disappointed. She secretly wondered in her heart: [Is this method ineffective? But I clearly remember that my grandfather used to lure bees in this way! ]

An Yue still didn't give up and wanted to wait and see.

——Another quarter of an hour passed.

There was still no movement at the beehive.

At this time, my stomach was growling with hunger, and I thought Chunzhi had already prepared lunch.

"No, I'm getting hungrier and hungrier. I'd better go back and eat something and come back later to check. This is a barren mountain and no one usually passes by here." An Yue muttered to herself.

Just as An Yue turned around and was about to go home, she saw Chunzhi walking towards her from not far away, apparently carrying a backpack.

Chunzhi saw that An Yue saw her, and she smiled and waved to An Yue.

Chunzhi walked up to An Yue and gently put down the backpack on her back.
