Chapter 22 I Don’t Want to Lose My Husband
"Wife, I'm sorry." On the way back, Gu Yan apologized to Li Wanqing sullenly.
"It's okay, we don't blame you, husband, don't be sad, your parents love you too, just not as much as they do other children.
I will love you from now on, and we can live our own lives." Li Wanqing looked at Gu Yan who was in a bad mood and consoled him.
"Well, wife, I will rely on you from now on. You can't leave me." Gu Yan took the opportunity to make a promise.
"Well, as long as you always stand by me, I will not leave you." Li Wanqing said.
After returning home, Li Wanqing first took the things she brought back to the wooden house and put them away. Looking at the empty wooden house, she discussed with Gu Yan: "Husband, can you make a row of shelves here so that there is room to put things.
Also, let’s build a table here for cutting vegetables.”
When Gu Yan heard his wife assign him a task, he immediately said, "This is easy. I'll do it right away. I have wooden planks ready at home. The platform is also easy to build. Just tell me how high it should be."
"Okay, I'll help you." Li Wanqing said.
Gu Yan did not refuse, he also wanted his wife to accompany him.
As the saying goes, working together as a man and a woman is not tiring. The two of them worked while talking.
Soon, a wooden shelf was built along the north wall, with partitions built in the middle to make it easier to store things.
The cutting table was also set up, built according to Li Wanqing's height. She could stand there and cut vegetables without having to bend over.
Not only that, Li Wanqing also instructed Gu Yan to make a bowl kitchen.
"Wife, you are so smart. After tidying it up like this, this wooden house can hold a lot of things without being messy." Gu Yan felt that his wife was really amazing and knew everything.
"Well, what's the big deal? The kitchen is already like this. If you have time tomorrow, just build two more wardrobes. I'll tell you what they look like then." Li Wanqing felt a sense of accomplishment as she looked at the tidy kitchen.
"Not tomorrow, wife. I have to go hunting tomorrow.
We are now separating, and except for these 20 kilograms of brown rice, we have nothing at home.
I have to go hunting soon and buy everything I need for the house." Gu Yan said.
They had nothing after the separation and there were still many places to spend money, so he had to hurry up and make money.
Li Wanqing thought about it and realized that there were a lot of things that needed to be bought for the house. Although she had money, she didn't want to show it now.
On the surface, there are only eighteen taels of silver in the family.
"Okay then. Be careful when you go out. You know I still have some money, and our family is not short of money for the time being." Li Wanqing reminded.
"I understand. My wife still loves me. We plan to go to Wild Boar Ridge tomorrow. If we kill a couple of wild boars, we can relax a little." Gu Yan wanted to hunt some big prey tomorrow so that the family would have money.
"You can do whatever you want. I only have one request. Money is not important. I just want you to go out happily and return home safely." Li Wanqing said.
Gu Yan was so touched. It was his wife who cared about him. She knew that when he went out hunting, what she cared about was not the size of the prey or how much money he could sell it for, but his safety.
This was the first time in all these years that someone cared more about his safety than money. Not even his mother had ever worried about him this much.
"But wife, I may be back tomorrow night, and the prey we catch must be sold overnight, otherwise it will not be fresh anymore." Gu Yan said again.
After the two finished talking, they started cooking. Li Wanqing cooked brown rice porridge and mixed wild vegetables.
Li Wanqing has been eating wild vegetables these past two days and is a little tired of them. It seems she needs to grow some more vegetables.
After dinner, the newlyweds went to bed. There were no entertainment activities in this era, except making babies. No wonder every family had so many children in ancient times.
When Li Wanqing woke up the next day, the seat next to her was already cold and Gu Yan had left.
Li Wanqing stretched her sore body and cursed Gu Yan in her heart, calling him a beast. He was indeed a hunter who could hunt wild boars, and his body was really good.
She always thought that the story about having sex seven times a night in the book was nonsense, and of course it might really be nonsense.
But she had personally experienced having sex five times a night.
When I get up, I wash up, brush my teeth and face, put toothpaste and toothbrush in the space provided, and then go to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.
When I opened the lid of the pot, I saw a bowl of brown rice porridge and a bowl of stir-fried meat with wild vegetables. It should be made by Gu Yan.
Li Wanqing took out the rice and ate it. It tasted average, but it was edible.
After finishing her meal, Li Wanqing walked around the house, but couldn't find anything to do, so she went back inside, locked the door, and entered the space.
The rice and wheat I planted a few days ago have grown to a foot tall, and the cotton seedlings are almost the same. It looks like we'll be ready for harvest in less than a month.
There are about three acres of land in the space, and less than one acre has been planted so far. It seems that I need to plant something else.
But there is no need to rush. I don’t have any seeds now, so I have to wait for a chance to buy some.
In a few days, when Gu Yan is free, I will ask him to take me to the mountains to look for ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.
When thinking of ginseng, Li Wanqing thought of the ginseng she had dug herself.
She planted the ginseng in the space that night, including five ginseng seeds.
Li Wanqing hurried over to see that the ginseng was planted on the opposite side, also to separate it from the crops.
I ran over to take a look, and wow, the ginseng was growing vigorously in the ground, and it looked much bigger than before.
The five ginseng seeds that were planted at the beginning have now grown to be one finger long. They have grown this tall in just a few days.
It seems that I don’t need to do anything else in the future, I can make a fortune just by selling ginseng.
Thinking of the wonderful life in the future where she could sell a ginseng plant when she ran out of money, Li Wanqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After laughing, he left the space again. Selling ginseng was just a thought, at least not now.
She should be more realistic and solve the problem of eating first.
There is a vegetable patch on the left side of the cave. No one used to take care of it and now it is abandoned, with only some onions and garlic planted there randomly.
She has to cultivate the vegetable garden. Now is the time to plant vegetables, so she can plant a few more to change the taste.
There are no vegetable seeds here, otherwise I could just plant some in the space.
No, when Gu Yan comes back, he has to take her to town first to buy some seeds to plant.
She still needs to look around to see if there is a suitable place. She also wants to grow some corn, sorghum, etc.
Although Gu Yan said that he was very good at hunting, hunting was not easy at all. He was risking his life to make money.
Apart from anything else, just look at how many hunters die of old age; most of them die in accidents.
Li Wanqing doesn't want to become a widower.
