CHAPTER XXVI
"Everyone does this for a reason, and since we don't know, there's no need to bother to guess, as for reading?"
These days, Qi Xuan has also learned from TV that children here, both male and female, have to study, unlike in ancient times, when only girls from rich families would be sent to school, and those without money were not qualified to study at all.
Actually, Qi Xuan still likes this world a lot, although the island is serious about patriarchy, but the official propaganda is equal between men and women.
And women can come out to work, like in their time, even if she practiced medicine, it was very difficult, if her father was not around, those people did not trust her medical skills at all.
"Don't worry, making money is not a problem at all, by the way, when are we going to school?" Qi Xuan asked with a frown.
...... "I don't even know when I will go to school?" Who is this second sister? Qi Sha became more and more curious about Qi Xuan's origin, but she didn't dare to ask at all.
For Qi Xuan, what can be solved with silver is definitely not a thing. In her previous life, her father was known as the Holy Doctor, so the father and daughter never worried about the silver, and for her, her father's money was as simple as eating and sleeping. As long as you make a move, you will have money.
And now, even if her father is not around, she believes that she can make money alone.
Early the next morning, Qi Xuan found a firewood knife at home, found a few pieces of wood and some transparent fishing lines to drum up.
Qi Yang and Qi Sha both gathered around curiously, they didn't understand what Qi Xuan was doing?
It wasn't until Qi Xuan made her things that she announced that she was going to hunt in the back mountains.
"Okay, I'm going too!" Qi Jie was the only one cheering when he heard it.
"Eldest sister, don't you want to go third sister?" Qi Jie didn't borrow such a fun thing as hunting, why weren't the eldest sister and the third sister interested?
"Shut up, you're not allowed to go, you still have a wound on your head, what if the wound opens?" Qi Yang and Qi Sha said in unison.
"No, I'm going, I'm going, second sister, I'm going. You talk to the eldest sister and the third sister, so I don't want to be bored at home. Qi Jie shook Qi Xuan's arm.
"Let him go, and I'll take care of him. If a boy doesn't exercise, he will only be bullied by others if he wants to be a weak chicken in the future, you look at Qi Hui, he is a few years older than Qi Jie, and he is already so tall and strong. ”
"Can Qi Hui's food be compared to my Qi Jie? My Qi Jie also eats some meat when his father comes, usually salted fish, where can the nutrition keep up?" Qi Yang complained a little, but she knew that her mother had already tried her best, who let her father's salary go to her grandmother!
"I'll go too!" said Zisha. Although she was quite afraid to go in the mountains, she had nothing to be afraid of even when Qi Jie went.
"What about me?" Qi Yang was about to shout to go, but Qi Yang found that Qi Xuan was desperately winking at her, and then Qi Xuan secretly pointed in the direction of the back mountain. That's when I remembered that those chickens had to be fed.
"Then I'll keep my house. Qi Yang changed his tone.
"The eldest sister is a coward!" Qi Jie made a mischievous grimace, tickling Qi Yangqi's teeth.
The three sisters and brothers went up the mountain, and Qi Xuan walked to the depths of the mountain, where there were dense forests everywhere, and there were streams flowing in the dense forests.
Qi Xuan observed carefully and found that there were many traces of animal activities here, including the feces of mountain muntjacs, the footprints and gnawing traces of hares and wild boars.
Qi Xuan is not in a hurry to put traps, since these beasts have been infested in these places recently, they will definitely not come over in a short time, because they will definitely think that the food here has been eaten up, and it will take a while to come back if they come, this is the habit of animals.
The last few people still walked deeper, and Qi Xuan finally put down the trap near a wild strawberry. Then a few more places were chosen to place the trap.
Next, Qi Xuan took a glass bottle, looked for it in the mountains, and soon found a few centipedes, and reached out to put the centipedes into the glass bottle, and the two sisters and brothers Qi Sha and Qi Jie were dumbfounded.
"Second sister, what are you doing catching centipedes? You are not afraid of being bitten by centipedes!"
"Sell for money, centipedes are good medicinal herbs. "At their time, centipedes weren't cheap. Naturally, Qi Xuan felt that since there was also Chinese medicine in this world, and pharmacies even accepted toads, then centipedes must also be accepted.
"Second sister, I'll help you catch it together. Qi Jie was full of interest.
Seeing that his younger brother was interested, Qi Xuan did not hide his secrets, and taught him how to catch centipedes so that he would not be bitten by centipedes. The child is very smart and can learn it, and soon grabbed several into the glass bottle, on the contrary, Qi Sha is much more timid, and he doesn't dare to catch it, and Qi Xuan doesn't force it, after all, everyone has different interests, and not everyone can overcome their fears.
Qi Xuan told Qi Sha to look at these traps, not to make a sound, and to call them if there was prey.
After arranging the matters, Qi Xuan took Qi Jie to catch centipedes nearby.
When he was hungry, Qi Xuan took out a few pieces of meat sausage from his backpack, and after roasting it on the fire, he sandwiched the bread he brought, and Qi Jie did the same. After eating, Qi Xuan gave the one he gave birth to Qi Sha.
"Sister, how did these sausages come from? Is it that grandpa still has money for you, and you didn't hand it over?" Qi Jie asked curiously.
He is not stupid, he doesn't know what is going on at home, and their mother is usually reluctant to buy meat dregs, let alone meat sausages.
Therefore, Qi Jie thinks that these sausages were bought by his sister. And my sister has no money on her, except for the ones that grandpa gave her yesterday. So is it that the grandfather secretly gave the money to the sister? Otherwise, I can't explain where the sister's money came from.
"Can't I catch centipedes for the money I earn?" Qi Xuan rolled his eyes, this kid looked down on people too much, and he had no interest.
"Having money is not necessarily given by parents, in addition to parents giving, wouldn't it be more enjoyable for us to make money and spend it ourselves?"
"That's right, second sister, you're so amazing!" Qi Jie thought that Qi Xuan's money to buy meat must have been obtained from buying centipedes.
By evening, they had finally harvested their first prey.
The prey fell into the trap, and Zisha almost screamed in excitement.
This is a hare, probably due to the abundance of food in the jungle, and the hare is extremely fat. Qi Xuan killed the hare on the spot and peeled the skin, as for the meat, it was naturally roasted on the spot, a hare, the meat for three people to eat is actually not much.
Seeing that there was hare meat to eat, Qi Jie was so happy, he found out that his second sister was really great for the first time.
"Second sister, how did you learn to trap, why didn't I see you do it before?" Qi Jie thought that if he had done it earlier, would they have already had meat to eat?
"I went to school on TV, why don't you watch TV every day and don't see you learning something?" Qi Xuan taught Qi Jie in turn.
"......." Qi Sha glanced at Qi Jie sympathetically.
Another silly boy who was fooled by his second sister.
When I got home, Liu Yang and Qi Yang had already eaten, Liu Yang saw a few people coming back so late and scolding a few children, so he went back to rest, Qi Yang came over and asked a few how the harvest was, Qi Sha kept a rabbit leg and gave it to Qi Yang.
"Mom is in a bad mood, don't blame her, it seems that the price of peeling shrimp has dropped. Qi Sha glanced at Qi Xuan and told her with her eyes that it should not be far from the time when Liu Yang proposed not to let them study.
Qi Xuan pulled Qi Sha and went to Liu Yang's room. She knocked on the door and went in.
"What are you doing here? I've been working outside all day, you two are so adults, it's time to help share the family, I was twelve years old and I had already followed my mother to work in the fields, now you don't have to work to earn work is already very happy, don't be in the blessings all day long. ”
