Chapter 127 Gu Chuan Sends Rabbit
The next few days were calm and no one from the Gu family came to cause trouble.
Gu Yan and Li Wanqing let the matter go and started packing up to move out.
"Wife, let's put all the things in the warehouse into the space. We will be away from home for a long time, it would be bad if they were stolen." Gu Yan organized all the things in the warehouse into several backpacks.
"There are still so many things left in the warehouse?" Li Wanqing looked at them one by one.
There was a whole basket of dried chicken, dried rabbit, bacon and sausages.
There are also various dried vegetables, mushrooms, black fungus, and various dried fruits.
Li Wanqing rarely came into the warehouse all winter, and it was Gu Yan who came to get something.
So she really had no idea what was left in the warehouse.
"Not much left. There were originally 25 dried chickens, and we ate 20 of them. Now there are only 5 left.
There were originally thirty rabbits, but now there are only ten left.
There are only a few pounds of bacon and sausage left.
There are a lot of dried vegetables left, I'll take them to the market to sell when I get out." The two of them ate more fresh vegetables in the winter, after all, Li Wanqing had space.
I didn’t eat much of the dried vegetables, but I couldn’t waste them. I could take them to town to exchange for some money.
While the two were packing up, Gu Chuan and Zhao Cuifang came again.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, we are here." Gu Chuan said loudly at the door.
This is told in advance, in case they suddenly go in and see something they shouldn't see.
"We are in the warehouse. Why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Li Wanqing poked her head out of the warehouse.
"Third sister-in-law, are you cleaning the warehouse? I came to give you a wild rabbit. I found this when I was digging out rabbits yesterday." Gu Chuan said as he raised the rabbit in his hand.
Gu Chuan and his companions have little food, so Gu Chuan has been hunting these days.
I didn't dare go far, so I just hunted some pheasants, hares and roe deer nearby.
"Why are you giving it to us? Just keep it for yourselves." Li Wanqing's eyes flashed when she saw the wild rabbit in Gu Chuan's hand.
Gu Chuan must be aiming for something big this time, after all, he has invested a lot of money.
"I took out three this time, and I'll give you one, and there are still two left.
Thanks to you, sister-in-law, for lending us food, otherwise we would have had a hard time surviving this winter.
We have to wait a while before returning the food, and since we can't hunt in the spring, I can only hunt small things for my family," Gu Chuan explained.
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry. Just pay it back when you have it." Li Wanqing would never say that you don't have to pay it back.
Their things were not blown by the wind, so she still understood the principle of repaying kindness with resentment.
Gu Chuan's original intention was to think that since he had brought a wild rabbit, his third brother and the others would definitely say that he didn't need to return the food. After all, they had such a large farm and no shortage of food.
Unexpectedly, Rabbit's sister-in-law accepted it, but did not say that she did not need to return the food as he expected.
Now, not only do we have to return the food, but we also have to give away a rabbit.
Now Gu Chuan's face looked a little ugly.
Zhao Cuifang didn't expect that she would get nothing out of a rabbit.
But she is more cunning than Gu Chuan. If she can't get the advantage this time, she will try next time.
The third brother and his friends are well off, so a little bit of what sticks out from between their fingers is enough for them.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. We just separated and we're short of everything at home. We have to buy everything.
I can only return the food to you later, but don't worry, I will definitely return it before winter at the latest," Zhao Cuifang said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, early or late is fine.
It's just right that you're here. Bring some dried vegetables back when you go back later." Li Wanqing didn't take advantage of them. She bought a wild rabbit from them and gave them some dried vegetables to eat as a snack.
Wild vegetables haven't grown yet, and it's a time when we're short of food.
It can be said that dried vegetables are now much more valuable than the rabbit that Gu Chuan brought.
When Zhao Cuifang heard there were dried vegetables, she was delighted: "Really? Third sister-in-law, we haven't had any vegetables to eat for half a month."
"Yes, really. We just cleaned up the warehouse and found some dried celery. I'll give you some too.
If we hold on for a few more days, we should have wild vegetables." Li Wanqing said.
"Third sister-in-law, are you preparing to move?" Zhao Cuifang stretched her neck to take a look into the warehouse.
Seeing that everything in the warehouse had been packed by Gu Yan, it was obvious that he was ready to go out.
"Well, we'll be moving out in a few days. The weather is getting warmer, and it's time for spring plowing on the farm.
My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I haven't seen a doctor since I became pregnant. This time I plan to go to the county town to see a doctor." Li Wanqing said.
"It's great that you can move out, Third Sister-in-law. I want to move out too." After saying this, Zhao Cuifang looked at Li Wanqing with burning eyes.
Li Wanqing just smiled and said nothing.
What could she say? Should she ask them to move out too?
What about after we move out? Do we still need to arrange a job for Gu Chuan?
She is not stupid, so how could she cause trouble for herself?
Zhao Cuifang just said this, she also knew that Li Wanqing would not be able to take them out together.
"Take these dried vegetables back. We will move out in a few days, so you don't need to come here anymore." Gu Yan came out of the warehouse and handed the basket in his hand to Gu Chuan.
"I understand, Third Brother." Gu Chuan took it, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Third Brother, are your parents here to see you?"
Gu Yan took a look at Gu Chuan and knew that the fourth brother was also dishonest, and that he might have been behind his parents' visit.
"Yes, I came, but I went back after staying for a while." Gu Yan said.
"What's the matter that your parents came to see you about?" Gu Chuan asked carefully.
"Don't you know what's going on? You don't have to have any tricks on me. I can tell you clearly that no one can covet my skills." Gu Yan said, looking into Gu Chuan's eyes.
Gu Chuan's eyes dodged for a moment, he knew that his little thoughts had been seen through by his third brother.
But he didn't think he did anything wrong. Third brother was so capable. What's wrong with helping them?
Besides, there are many medicinal herbs in the mountains, and Third Brother can’t collect them all by himself.
"Third brother, can you teach me how to dig herbs? There are so many herbs in the mountains, even if the two of us were to collect them, we wouldn't be able to collect them all.
"Brother, can you teach me? Don't worry, I will never tell anyone if I learn it." Gu Chuan simply said directly.
"It's not that I didn't ask you, it's that I can't teach you. I believe you all know the common medicinal herbs. You don't need me to teach you these.
What you really want to learn is preparing medicinal herbs, right? I don't know how to do that either. The one who really knows how is your third sister-in-law.
We have already agreed that this craft will not be passed on to others and will be passed down to our children," said Gu Yan.
Yes, most hunters in the mountains know some common herbs, and they usually get some herbs themselves when they are injured or have a headache or fever.
But what they know is known to everyone and is worthless.
