Chapter 38 Dad wants to see you

After eating dumplings, the two went back to the room to sleep.

The next morning, Gu Yan got up early, cooked millet porridge, and fried a bowl of wild vegetables, and then called Li Wanqing to get up and eat.

Li Wanqing moved her aching body and punched Gu Yan twice in anger: "I told you it's not okay, but you still insisted on asking for it."

"Hehehe, it's my fault, it's my fault." Gu Yan admitted his mistake with a silly smile, actively admitting his mistakes and refusing to change.

They had been busy with spring plowing a few days ago, and the two hadn't had sex for a few days. Now that the land was planted, Li Wanqing made him delicious dumplings in the evening that he had never eaten before.

This wasn't something I wanted to keep warm about, so I got a little excited and it took a little longer.

Gu Yan did not argue. He took the clothes and helped Li Wanqing put them on, then took her out to eat.

After dinner, Gu Yan weeded the vegetable garden and then packed up the tools he would take tomorrow.

The machete is a bit blunt and needs to be sharpened, and the bow and arrow also need to be sharpened.

There is also the backpack, which needs to be cleaned up. The backpacks at home are old and not sturdy, so I have to weave a new one.

Farmers have work to do everywhere in their lives.

Li Wanqing was not idle either. She first took out Gu Yan's clothes to mend. Gu Yan went back and forth in the mountains all day long, so his clothes were never in good condition.

After mending the clothes, he took out a piece of coarse cloth and made clothes for Gu Yan.

Gu Yan's life was rough because Zhang Dahua had too many children to take care of.

After Li Wanqing got married, she looked through Gu Yan's clothes and found that Gu Yan only had three sets of clothes, two sets of thin clothes for spring and autumn, and one set of cotton clothes for winter.

The two sets of single clothes were patched on top of each other, and the cotton coats were all clumped together, not warm at all.

There was no rush for cotton clothes, so Li Wanqing planned to make him two sets of light clothes to wear now.

Li Wanqing didn't know how to sew clothes by hand, but she had the original owner's memories. The original owner was very skilled in making clothes and embroidering. She practiced with the cloth twice and got the feeling back.

Men’s clothes are easy to make and don’t require any fancy patterns. I can make a shirt in half a day and then make pants in the afternoon.

Li Wanqing shook the finished shirt in her hand, looked at the clothes she had sewn with her own hands and nodded with satisfaction.

She came out and asked Gu Yan to come in and try on the clothes: "Husband, come in and try on the clothes."

"Hey, I'll be right there." Gu Yan was weaving a backpack outside. When he heard his wife asking him to wash his hands, he came in.

"Come on, try it on and see if it fits. If not, I'll alter it." It was also Li Wanqing's first time making clothes for others, and she was not sure about it.

When Gu Yan looked at the new clothes his wife made for him, he felt very happy. He knew that his wife loved him.

Gu Yan stretched the clothes on his body and said: "Wife, it fits. This dress fits me well everywhere."

"As long as it fits, I'll make the pants in the afternoon. I'll make this set first. I bought a lot of fabric, so I'll make you another set after I come back from collecting herbs." Li Wanqing said.

"You don't have to make it for me anymore. This one is good enough. You can make two for yourself with the fabric.

I run in the mountains all day, so it doesn't matter what I wear." Gu Yan carefully took off his clothes and folded them.

"I see, you don't have to worry about it. I made it for you and you can wear it. Your two sets of clothes are almost worn out, how can you wear them anymore.

"Are you done with your work outside? What would you like to eat for lunch today?" Li Wanqing asked.

“It’s almost done, I’ll just make a few more bows and arrows later.

Let's eat rice. I'm going to go hunt two pheasants. The chicken soup you made is delicious, so we can have it for lunch." Gu Yan said.

"Okay, then you go ahead. I'll go steam the rice now." Li Wanqing had no objection.

The good thing about marrying a hunter is that you don’t have to worry about not having meat to eat.

At noon, the two of them had rice in chicken soup.

After dinner, Li Wanqing continued to make clothes, and Gu Yan washed the dishes and sat at the entrance of the cave to sharpen arrows for the bow.

The two of them were still chatting casually.

"Husband, when you're done, make some dough and I'll steam some buns. I need to bring some dry food with me when I go out tomorrow.

I'm making some fried dough cakes. Let me tell you, fried dough cakes are delicious. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they crumble when you bite into them. They're especially fragrant." Li Wanqing didn't want to knead the dough; she had already taught Gu Yan how to do it.

"Wife, everything you cook is delicious. I'll go knead the dough later." Gu Yan had no objection to his wife asking him to knead the dough.

If his wife doesn't want to knead the dough, then he will do it.

The atmosphere between the two of them was just right, and then Gu Yan's fourth brother Gu Chuan came over.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, I finally see you. What have you been doing these days? I have come here several times but haven't seen you." Gu Chuan saw his third brother Gu Yan sitting in front of the cave door from a distance.

"Fourth brother is here? Didn't you go hunting today? How come you have time to come?" Gu Yan asked his fourth brother when he saw him.

"I have something to talk to you about, Third Brother. Dad asked you to come over when you have time." Gu Chuan found a small stool and sat down.

"What do you want from me? Do you know?" Gu Yan kept moving his hands and didn't care at all that Gu Chongshan was looking for him.

"It's still my second brother. He and his second sister-in-law wanted to start a business in town. Didn't they want my third sister-in-law to teach them how to stew meat? But my third sister-in-law didn't want to.

Later, they also urged my father to go to my second uncle, hoping that my second uncle would find him a job.

Several days have passed, and there's still no news from my second uncle, so my second brother decided to start his own business. "Gu Chuan also looked down on Gu Bei, and the resentment in his words was overflowing.

"If he wants to do business, just do it. Why is he looking for me?" Gu Yan asked indifferently.

"Of course he chose to borrow money from you. He has a good plan." Gu Chuan snorted coldly.

"Where would I get the money? We just separated and we're short of everything at home. The few taels of silver I earn from hunting are not enough to buy things." Gu Yan said.

"They are eyeing the betrothal money and the treasure in Third Sister-in-law's hands." The money in Li Wanqing's hand was visible.

She had no family background, so she had to keep the betrothal money herself and also prepared eight taels of gold as a treasure for herself.

"They are so shameless. Those are my wife's dowry. How dare they covet my wife's dowry?" Gu Yan said angrily.

Gu Yan was really a little angry. He just wanted to live a simple life. Why could these people in his family not want him to be better?

Needless to say, the second brother persuaded Dad to help him, otherwise Dad would not have come to him.

"Go back and tell Dad that no one needs to worry about my wife's money. I don't care about the affairs of the second brother and the others." Gu Yan said.

"Third brother, you really don't care?" Gu Chuan asked again.

"No matter." Gu Yan didn't hesitate at all.

"Okay, I'll tell Dad when I get back." Gu Chuan said.

"Dad is at home too? Why didn't he go hunting?" Gu Yan said.

"Well, my dad and I hunted a wild boar the day before yesterday, and we've been resting at home these two days," said Gu Chuan.

Gu Yan nodded, just asking out of boredom. In fact, he didn't care whether they were resting at home or going hunting.
