Since the Gu family father and daughter joined, the group has been filled with more laughter and joy. The children often come down together for a walk, and Aunt Qin hasn't stopped them; she sees it as good exercise. Besides, getting more sunshine is good for their health and helps with calcium absorption!
It's just that the temperature is getting cooler at night, so you need to wear an extra jacket in the mornings and evenings to avoid feeling cold.
Qin San Niang sighed once again that it was the right decision to bring Fatty and her son along out of kindness. Wu Shi's needlework was so fast and skillful; watching her fingers flutter like butterflies on the cotton cloth, she was truly envious...
Unsurprisingly, she was thoroughly disliked by her own mother, Liu, who said, "Third Sister, you really need to practice your needlework."
Although Liu's handiwork wasn't very good, at least she could make a piece of clothing. While it wasn't quite as good as Wu Chunhua's, it was still wearable. The children quickly said that their grandmother's work was also very good, but if they had to choose, they would definitely wear Aunt Chunhua's first.
Qin San Niang agreed verbally, but inwardly she thought, "Mother, what you lack is style! Look at what Sister Chunhua made, the waist part is very unique, not to mention the delicate little flowers on the cuffs and collar of Anan and herself, she is almost reluctant to wear them, okay?"
Although Qin San Niang readily agreed to her mother's request for her to learn sewing, whether she actually learned it or not was up to her.
Besides, in her memory, the original owner was indeed not good at needlework, or to be precise, she simply didn't have time to do needlework. On the contrary, her delicate second sister-in-law stayed at home every day, claiming that she supported the family by embroidering, and that if her hands became rough, she wouldn't be able to embroider on silk! As for whether she embroidered on silk, Qin San Niang didn't know, but she could definitely feel that she had a lot more work on her shoulders for no reason.
From this point of view alone, Qin San Niang couldn't bring herself to like the original owner's unfortunate husband. A man who couldn't even protect his wife and children couldn't be considered a real man!
Although Qin San Niang has encountered scumbags from her past life to this one, she has also met many real men, such as the young men in the police force, who are all true tough guys. Even the young men who later followed her to work as forensic doctors, although they still vomit when they see corpses, can still continue working after vomiting. Perhaps they should be better now?
Qin San Niang can no longer think about which circuit in her pig brain short-circuited! Her past life is getting further and further away from her, and she's really afraid that one day she won't be able to remember it at all.
Wu Chunhua buried her head in the pile of fabric without looking up. She didn't think that a woman like Qin Sanniang needed to do embroidery to support her family. She used to worry that her daughter, Pangya, was useless and would be looked down upon if she found a husband. But now she didn't think that way. Who said that women had to be good wives and mothers and do sewing and mending? Her daughter Pangya could drive a carriage and was strong. She was a rare good wife.
She needs to hurry up and make clothes for her family. There are no oil lamps at night, so she can only do needlework while traveling during the day. The weather turned cold early this year!
"Ah Zhi, do you have any winter clothes that need mending? Auntie will mend them for you." Over the past few days, Wu Chunhua has grown to like this precocious young woman very much. When playing with Ah Nan, she also takes care of her younger sister, and she will help anyone who needs assistance.
Ah Zhi tilted her head and thought carefully. She should have warm clothes, but some of them were indeed damaged. In the past, her mother would always tidy them up very well, but now her father would definitely not mend them.
"I have some warm winter clothes, but they're a bit worn out. It would be great if you could mend them for me if you had the time, Auntie." Ah Zhi knows a little needlework, but she can only sew crookedly at best; mending clothes would be quite difficult for her. "Aunt Chunhua, my father's clothes are also worn out. I wonder if you could mend them for him too?"
"What a sweet child!" Wu Chunhua quickly nodded in agreement. It wasn't a difficult task; she could just bring it over when she had time. She felt secure being able to do something for everyone, and besides, mending clothes was an incredibly simple task.
These days, Gu Qingshan felt much more relaxed and became even more certain that traveling with Qin San Niang and her group was the right thing to do.
A-Zhi's smile grew wider; he got along well with Qin Niangzi's children and spent most of his time playing with them. Liu Shi, on the other hand, felt that one more wouldn't make a difference. Most importantly, the family wasn't short of food, and A-Zhi's father could often go hunting, so she let A-Zhi eat with them. After all, it wouldn't make a difference if he were another father. They couldn't very well have a grown man who didn't seem to know how to cook, just watching them eat from afar!
So the two families went from traveling together to sharing meals.
Gu Qingshan, of course, wouldn't take advantage of the situation, and he would go hunting in the mountains every two days. It was really strange, because every time he came back, he would bring back some game; he almost never returned empty-handed. It would be a pheasant, a rabbit, or even a roe deer today!
The eldest child was surprised! Azhi was excited; she was proud of her father.
"Sister Zhi, your father is amazing! Is it just a roe deer? It's so big! How can he finish eating all that meat?"
Although A-Nan is a girl, she has a big appetite. Qin San Niang also discovered that this child is a real carnivore. When there is meat, she will not eat a single vegetable. Fortunately, she does not eat meat at every meal now, so she lets her have her way.
"Oh my, Ah Zhi, Uncle Gu is really amazing! I've never seen such a skilled hunter before!" Fatty was also very excited standing in front of the roe deer, forgivably because she had hardly ever seen such large prey.
The others were the same, but after spending so many days together, the adults had a certain understanding of Gu Qingshan's abilities. Although they were surprised, they were not so angry as to jump up and down!
Actually, it wasn't just the children who were surprised; Qin San Niang was too. She used to enjoy wandering around and had heard a little about the Siberian roe deer, which was nothing more than one of the "Three Silly Things of the Earth," one of the "Four Divine Beasts of Northeast China," famous for its silliness.
There's a saying that goes, "You can beat a roe deer with a stick and scoop up fish with a ladle," which probably describes this situation perfectly.
This silly roe deer might indeed live up to its name, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so far as to make itself a protected animal.
Regardless, the thought of having a delicious meal of roe deer meat made Qin San Niang quite happy.
However, the ideal was far from reality. When asked how to prepare the roe deer meat, Qin San Niang claimed to know nothing, and upon looking back, it was clear that Wu and Liu were equally clueless.
Gu Qingshan put the roe deer on the ground in preparation for slaughtering it later. After drinking the water that his daughter handed him, which was still boiled and infused with mint, the cow drank very refreshing water.
