Chapter 127: Fulfilled

Finally, there were no people outside the cafeteria.

Liu Yinyin then went to ask the militia captain about the wolf skin.

This hunting trip was led by the village militia captain Qin Hao and several of his militiamen.

Qin Hao is in his thirties. When he was young, Qin Hao served as a soldier for several years. He became the captain of the militia after he retired and returned to his hometown.

Speaking of which, Qin Hao had also heard of Gu Cheng, but didn't know him. He only found out yesterday that Liu Yinyin was Gu Cheng's wife.

When he saw Liu Yinyin again, his tone became a little better.

When he heard Liu Yinyin say she wanted to buy wolf skins, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you both wolf skins. Just give me some money."

If the two wild wolves had not been hunted by everyone together, he would have wanted to give the wolf skins directly to Liu Yinyin.

No one wants this thing anyway. The two extra wolf skins I got yesterday are still hanging at home.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Yesterday, she exchanged ten kilograms of cornmeal for two wolf skins.

According to the current market price, a pound of corn flour costs nearly one dollar per pound.

Of course, this is calculated based on the black market price.

The price of cornmeal in the supply and marketing cooperative did not increase much, but without food coupons, one could not buy food at the supply and marketing cooperative.

So, if Liu Yinyin were to speak for herself, she really didn't know how much money to give.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yinyin asked him, "Two wolf skins, can I give you ten dollars?"

Of course she knew that the price of two wolf skins was much higher than that, but she couldn't just ask for a few hundred dollars.

Qin Hao's mouth twitched: "...Ten yuan is too much, give me one yuan."

Ten yuan is equivalent to nearly half a month's salary for a worker in the county.

For a country person, ten dollars is a huge sum of money.

Just two wolf skins, why would they cost so much money?

It can be seen that...Gu Cheng, this daughter-in-law, is a person who is willing to spend money.

Liu Yinyin saw deer blood, deer skin and roe deer skin on the chopping board.

These are all unpopular items and are unlikely to be sold.

Liu Yinyin wanted to buy them, and Qin Hao sold them all to her without saying a word.

He also gave her a pound of roe deer meat.

Liu Yinyin spent a total of two yuan and fifty cents on these things.

Qin Hao took the money and said, "If there are any animal skins left tomorrow, I'll keep them for you."

They have to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, the last day. However, after two days of hunting, the prey in the mountains must have been scared.

I guess he'll hide in the mountains, so tomorrow's harvest may not be that good.

Liu Yinyin thanked him and went home with Gu Yanyan in her arms.

Liu Yinyin sold several animal skins, deer blood, and a pound of roe deer meat to the system.

Having earned tens of thousands of yuan in one go, Liu Yinyin smiled knowingly.

However, she failed to buy any animal skins on the third day.

Those who went hunting in the mountains only brought back a few pheasants and rabbits.

No other signs of the beast were found.

So, after hunting, the villagers started going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

It is early winter now. Although the weather is not very cold, the wild vegetables in the mountains are not growing much.

Most of them were old or even yellow wild vegetables, but the villagers did not reject them at all. As long as they were edible, they would not let go.

Anyway, eating wild vegetables is better than chewing tree bark.

What makes the villagers happy is that some green wild vegetables have recently appeared on the nearby hills.

The newly grown wild vegetables were fresh and green, which immediately attracted a large number of people to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.

Some old people in the village said that this was God’s blessing!

At this time of year in previous years, there would be no such green wild vegetables on the mountain.

For a time, there was a craze for digging wild vegetables in the village.

Of course Liu Yinyin also went to dig wild vegetables.

Um......

She discovered that the wild vegetables that had grown recently were most likely grown from the wild vegetable seeds she had sown later.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed and it was the end of November.

Winter is here and the weather has suddenly turned cold.

Gu Cheng still hadn't returned, and there was inevitably gossip in the village.

Some people actually said...Gu Cheng must have fallen in love with a girl in the big city and couldn't bear to come back.

"I think they are just too idle. They just chat nonsense all day long." Jiang Cuihua no longer likes to chat with the women in the village.

He is so talkative that he can even make the dead appear alive.

Liu Yinyin doesn't care much about gossip. As long as it's not said in front of her, she doesn't care.

Seeing her daughter's calm expression, Jiang Cuihua couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Gu Cheng tell you when he would be back?"

She didn't think her son-in-law would be that kind of person.

But...after hearing so much gossip, Jiang Cuihua couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Liu Yinyin was holding Gu Yanyan's hand while walking. The little guy could already walk on his own, but he was a little unsteady.

If you stumble and fall, you will fall to the ground if you are not careful.

Liu Yinyin helped Gu Yanyan and said, "Mom, don't worry, he will come back."

"That's right." His wife and son were both here, and Jiang Cuihua felt that Gu Cheng was unlikely to abandon them. She sighed, "By the time he comes back, Yanyan will be able to walk."

Not only that, the little guy can even call mom and dad.

Children grow up quickly, and they change a lot after not seeing them for a month.

"Mom, what's going on with the Huang family? Have they agreed?" Liu Yinyin changed the subject.

In the past half month, Jiang Cuihua has been busy like a top because of Liu Mingyuan's affairs.

At the beginning, Huang Laizi's family did not agree to find a husband for their daughter.

Huang Laizi said that the girl was still young and there was no rush for her to get married.

In the countryside, eighteen years old is actually not young, and it is impossible for parents not to be anxious.

However, marriage should not be taken too hastily.

It would be really strange if I nodded in agreement right at the beginning.

No matter what, I have to find out about the man’s family situation first.

Moreover, as a woman, you must be reserved.

This was not the first time that Jiang Cuihua had found a daughter-in-law for her son.

Therefore, after the first rejection, Jiang Cuihua did not give up. A few days later, she asked Li Chunfang to go again.

The second time, Huang Laizi softened his stance a little. He didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either. He just said he wanted to see what the lady thought.

Li Chunfang understood immediately. Although Huang Laizi did not say it explicitly, he must have inquired about the Liu family's situation, and he was not displeased with the Liu family.

Facts have proved that Li Chunfang's expectation was correct.

During this half month, Li Chunfang went to Shuangxi Village two or three times, and the Huang family finally agreed.

Since both families were attracted to each other, their marriage was put on the agenda.

The speed was so fast that Liu Yinyin was surprised, but she also understood that this was the custom of the time and not getting married was considered hooliganism.

If you talk for too long, people will start gossiping.

Now that her youngest son's marriage has been arranged, Jiang Cuihua has been in a very good mood for a while.

"The wedding date is set for December 6th." Jiang Cuihua said with a smile.
