Chapter 61 The Aunt Is Here Again
"Boss, Madam, these people said they were your aunt and cousins, so I brought them here." Chunxia stepped forward and took the things that Li Wanqing was washing.
"Aunt, you're here." Li Wanqing stood up and turned to look at Aunt Gu and her group.
"I heard from Dazhuang yesterday that you were here, so I brought your cousins over to take a look.
These are my three children. This is the eldest, Da Zhuang. This is Er Zhuang. This girl is the youngest, Lan Zi. This is Da Zhuang’s wife, Chun Tao.
What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and call me cousin-in-law." Aunt Gu looked much more enthusiastic than before.
"Cousin's wife."
"Cousin's wife."
"Cousin's wife."
"Cousin, you are so beautiful. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but you lived in the mountains before and I couldn't go.
"Cousin, can I come over to play with you in the future?" Chen Lanzi came close to Li Wanqing and chattered.
Li Wanqing seemed very close to him. Of course, it would be better if he didn't keep glancing over her head.
Today, Li Wanqing also wore a gold hairpin on a whim. The hairpin was in the shape of a butterfly, and there were several tassels hanging from the head of the hairpin. When Li Wanqing moved, the tassels swayed with her, which looked particularly beautiful.
"Husband, can you put the rest aside for now? We'll wash it later. You take my sister-in-law and the others back first." It's not appropriate to work here when there are guests at home.
But before Gu Yan could say anything, Aunt Gu objected: "No, wash all these first and then go back, otherwise you will have to take these stinky things back.
Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, go help your cousin. Chun Tao Lan Zi and I will help you clean these pig lungs and other things."
Li Wanqing and Gu Yan worked separately. Li Wanqing cleaned the pig lungs and hearts upstream, while Gu Yan washed the pig intestines and stomachs downstream.
Li Wanqing's place is easy to clean, and it's almost done.
It’s just that Gu Yan doesn’t know how to wash it, especially the pig intestines, which need to be turned over and over again to wash.
But now with the help of Dazhuang and Erzhuang, the speed has increased a lot.
"Old Third's family, why did you buy so much pig offal? It's so hot now, it would be a shame if we couldn't finish it and it went bad." Gu Xiaogu couldn't help but say as she looked at the four baskets of pig offal on the ground.
Li Wanqing knew that someone would ask, luckily she had already put the things she had washed before they came into the space, otherwise she would be even more puzzled looking at the dozen or so baskets of pig offal on the ground.
But she had already thought of an excuse: "We didn't eat it ourselves, we bought it for someone else."
Gu Xiaogu opened her mouth but didn't ask: Who did you buy this for?
The saying that more hands make more work is absolutely true. Several people worked together and quickly washed the baskets of pig offal.
Gu Yan pulled the carriage over and asked Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang to help lift it up.
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang's eyes widened when they saw the carriage.
"Third cousin, this...is this the carriage you bought?" Er Zhuang asked stutteringly, pointing at the carriage.
When they arrived, they saw horses grazing in the distance, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
I didn't expect that Gu Yan would pull the carriage over now.
"No, I don't have the money to buy a carriage. This one belongs to the shopkeeper Liu of Dejitang in town, and he also wanted these pig offal.
Because we need to transport these things, Manager Liu asked me to drive the carriage back first." Gu Yan said.
This was also what Gu Yan and Li Wanqing had discussed. Having a farm was already troublesome enough, and if they knew there was a carriage, who knows how they would plot against them?
However, what Gu Yan and Li Wanqing did not expect was that although several people were interested in the carriage, they were most concerned about the fact that they knew the owner of Dejitang in the county.
"What? Third cousin, you also know the shopkeeper in the county? Dejitang is a well-known pharmacy far and wide." Er Zhuang became interested when he heard that Gu Yan actually knew the shopkeeper of Dejitang.
But now is not the right time, he can't express his thoughts.
"I helped Manager Liu with a small favor before, and that's how I got to know him." Gu Yan didn't want to say more.
Not only Erzhuang had some ideas, but Chuntao also had some thoughts.
However, both of them knew that now was not a good time to talk about these things, so they didn't say anything else.
Several people worked together to lift the bamboo baskets onto the carriage. Gu Yan turned around and helped Li Wanqing and Gu Xiaogu onto the carriage.
As for the others, let them go. Except for his wife, Gu Xiaogu is the elder and he has to take care of them. But Gu Yan doesn't care about other people, right?
Chuntao also wanted to ride in a carriage. She had never ridden in a carriage in her life.
However, since Gu Yan didn't say anything, she was too embarrassed to speak up, so she secretly pulled Chen Dazhuang's sleeve.
"What's the matter? Why are you pulling me?" Chen Dazhuang didn't understand Chuntao's intention and asked honestly.
When he asked this question, everyone looked over.
Chuntao was choked by Chen Dazhuang's words. What should she say?
"It's okay." Chuntao said, glared at Chen Dazhuang and ran to the front.
Chen Dazhuang didn't understand why his wife was angry for no reason. He scratched his head and stopped thinking about it. He turned around and continued talking to Gu Yan.
Li Wanqing and Gu Xiaogu understood what was going on, but no one paid any attention to her.
Back at the farm, Gu Yan unloaded the carriage and tied the horses to the shed, which was the former firewood shed.
Now half of it is reserved for sheltering the horses from wind and rain.
Li Wanqing brought Gu Xiaogu, Chen Lanzi and Chuntao into the house.
"Aunt, Chuntao and Lanzi, have some water and some snacks." Li Wanqing took out two pieces of snacks she had bought from the provincial capital, put them on a plate and brought them over.
"Oh my, what kind of snack is this? I haven't seen it in town?" Chen Lanzi exclaimed as she looked at the exquisite snacks on the plate.
"This is peach blossom pastry, bought from the county town. It is said that the color is dyed with peach petals.
This is mung bean cake, made with mung beans, and this is peanut candy, you all try it." Li Wanqing said.
"What? You went to the provincial capital? When did it happen? Does your father-in-law know about it?" Aunt Gu didn't even have time to eat snacks.
"Just a few days ago, I went to run an errand for Manager Liu and just came back yesterday." Li Wanqing explained.
"Cousin, what is the provincial capital like? Is it as lively as the town?" Chen Lanzi asked curiously.
"The capital city is much more lively than the town. There are more things and people."
"Cousin, please tell us what the provincial capital has. I haven't even been to the county town. It would be great if I could visit the provincial capital someday." Chen Lanzi said.
"You are so arrogant, little girl. You even want to go to the provincial capital. I, your mother, have only been to the county town once." Aunt Gu scolded with a smile.
"So what? If my cousin's wife can go, why can't I go? Right, cousin? Can you and my third cousin take me with you next time you go to the capital?"
Next, Chen Lanzi kept pestering Li Wanqing to ask about the provincial capital, which made Li Wanqing regret that she had blurted out the plan of going to the provincial capital.
