Chapter 22 Du Aiqing's Embarrassment
When people face danger, their first instinct is to protect themselves.
What Gu Jin did left an indelible shock in An Mingji's heart.
When the danger came, the other party actually chose to protect him first. How could this not be moving?
An Mingji slowly lowered his eyes, hiding all the emotions that did not belong to his age, but his arms around Gu Jin were gradually tightening.
Noticing his movements, Gu Jin thought he was afraid and gently comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the wild boar is dead."
"……Um."
An Mingji, who was no longer afraid but still had lingering fears, responded in a depressed tone.
Gu Jin put the man down with a smile, then took his hand and walked towards Du Aiqing.
"Brother Du, how do we deal with this wild boar?"
In order to prevent the wild boar from fainting, Du Aiqing used a shovel to cut the wild boar's neck, leaving skin and flesh exposed. The scene in front of him was bloody.
Hearing Gu Jin's words, Du Aiqing frowned slightly, and then her face showed a strong look of joy.
He and Jin Yatou killed the wild boar together, so he should also get a share.
Especially now that there is a spring famine and there is not much food left at home, with this wild boar meat, his wife and children can eat meat for a few days. How can he not be happy?
As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. If you ask other people in the village to help, you will have to give them a share of the meat. Thinking so, Du Aiqing turned and looked at Gu Jin.
"Jin girl, are your uncle and Jiajie at home?"
Gu Jin nodded gently, "Yes."
"Okay then, go home and call your uncle and Jiajie over, and we'll get it home by ourselves."
"good!"
Gu Jin had no objection. She led the child in her arms and walked towards home.
Looking at her leaving back, Du Aiqing called her, "Jin girl!"
"Um?"
Gu Jin turned around and saw Du Aiqing standing there with an awkward expression on her face, as if she was a little embarrassed.
"Um... Jin girl, you were the first one to hurt the wild boar. I'm not asking for too much, can you give me the pig's head and hind legs?"
After saying this, Du Ai's wheat-colored face turned red.
It was really embarrassing for him to say such words to a little girl, as if he was trying to steal something from her.
Seeing his look, Gu Jin, who was originally confused, laughed out loud: "What are you talking about, Brother Du? We saw this wild boar together, so naturally we split it in half. If it weren't for Brother Du today, Xiao An and I might have been injured."
"No, no, no, there are too many. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to kill it..."
"It's settled, half for each family."
Before Du Aiqing could finish speaking, Gu Jin interrupted him and turned away.
…
"Where has that wild girl gone to? She's nowhere to be seen even during dinner time!"
At the Gu family, Chen Hong was complaining in the yard.
She got up early every day to cook and take care of the old and the young. Now that the meal was ready, Gu Jin had gone somewhere unknown with the wolf cub that ate for free at home. She was already furious and could no longer control her anger.
Uncle Gu sat at the small dining table in the kitchen, listening to his daughter-in-law complaining in the yard, his brows tightly furrowed.
Gu Jiajie glanced at his grandfather, father and sister who were sitting next to him. Everyone was waiting for dinner. He touched his stomach and felt hungry.
"The ungrateful wolf is so ungrateful that he can't be tamed. He gets his food from the wind. He doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if he doesn't manage the household! The big ungrateful wolf is bringing along a little ungrateful wolf. He has no conscience..."
The more Chen Hong thought about it, the angrier she became, and she continued to curse outside.
