Xue Yifu was afraid that they would drag the bamboo back by themselves, so he put aside his work and came to help chop and drag the bamboo.
With Xue Yifu's help, it did not take long for them to drag the bamboo back.
The bamboo tubes for making popsicles were really easy to make. Xue Yifu only needed to saw them once, and it didn't take long for him to saw them into 60 bamboo tubes. With the 40 that he had made at home, there were exactly 100 of them.
There were still quite a few thin poles left, so Xue Yifu was not in a hurry to make them. He leaned the few large bamboo poles against the wall, then continued to make the bowls. He was full of energy as he worked.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan put the 60 bamboo tubes into the basket together, and Xue Yan carried them to the river to wash them.
Each bamboo tube was of similar size, and even if there were 60 of them, they were not that heavy, so Xue Yan could still carry them.
