4. Gold
What is the temperament, Guo Mianmian doesn't understand, but is it delicious? Since there is none, let's change to vegetables.
Daddy Guo really has no way to take his daughter, what else can he do, of course, listen to her words and dig out the bamboo. Who knows that when digging into the earth, an old clay pot from underneath is dug up.
The mouth of the can is tightly sealed, and it is not light to turn it up by hand. When I opened it, I didn't want it to be full of jars of gold.
Father Guo is an honest man, the Guo family is poor, and he has seen so much gold there.
The whole family was terrified, and they didn't want to take the money from an unknown source, and wanted to bury it in the ground.
Guo Mianmian comforted the family and said: "This house was specially arranged for us by the old lady, and the money is buried in the bamboo, maybe this is the money that the old lady gave to his younger brother to study." ”
Seeing that Daddy Guo's expression was slightly relaxed, Guo Mianmian continued: "Besides, the ones buried in the ground are antiques, we can dig them out, even if they are destined for us, Daddy should not push them away." If he pushed it again, he was not sure to anger the gods and bring disaster to his younger brother. ”
Father Guo saw that what Mianmian said was not unreasonable, in the end he accepted the jar of gold.
After many days of busy work, I finally moved almost enough, because I dug up a jar of gold, and bought a lot of new furniture. Grandmother and Hu have already settled in the town, but Guo Mianmian is still living in the countryside with Guo's father, preparing for the winter.
If you want to survive the winter, you must have firewood, and you have to buy everything in the town, so it is better to prepare early at home and carry more firewood to the town. Otherwise, once the winter is full of snow, the price of firewood in the town is to increase several times, not to mention, there is often no price, even if you want to go into the mountains to cut firewood, it is difficult to even travel.
The Guo family was originally a hunter, and they were even more familiar with various preparations for winter, and the matter of chopping firewood had been arranged early.
The cold wind outside the house, the dead leaves were flying in rolls, Guo Mianmian was lazily beside the stove, drinking the stewed autumn pear sweet soup in a small sip, and seeing that Guo Dad was going out, he hurriedly said: "Dad, you wait, I'll be with you." ”
The autumn wind was cold and strong, thinking that his father in the previous life had broken his leg when he went up the mountain this winter, Guo Mianmian didn't worry about her father going up the mountain alone. Although I don't know if the timing will change because of her rebirth, I have to follow her, and I am prepared in the end.
"I don't need you."
Daddy Guo was reluctant to let his baby daughter go out with him to blow the wind, so he sighed, picked up the firewood knife and was about to go out, "You, let's drink sweet pear soup at home obediently, if you go out to blow sick, but you want to drink bitter medicine juice, aren't you afraid?" ”
"Daddy, I'm not a three- or four-year-old child anymore, where is it so easy to get sick. Besides, I'm not afraid of drinking medicine, you underestimate me too much. ”
She was in a hurry, she couldn't care about stepping on the ground with her bare feet, ran over and put on her shoes very quickly, grabbed the corner of Daddy Guo's clothes, and pouted slightly.
She looked very well-behaved like this, which made people's hearts melt at first sight, and said to him in a pleading tone: "Dad, I want to go up the mountain with you, I want to pick up mountain treasures." ”
Daddy Guo couldn't stand the obsession of his daughter, but in the end he couldn't resist her, so he had to take the little girl out with him.
Guo Mianmian was almost not blown by the wind when he went out, and he clutched Daddy Guo's sleeves to barely keep up with him. Father Guo looked down at the pale red on the little girl's cheeks, and her watery eyes with some ignorance, and couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her: "Mianmian is really good." ”
Guo Mianmian gave his father a sweet smile back.
But my heart is a little sour.
She missed too much in her previous life, and in this life, she ...... She wants to make up for it a thousand times over.
Guo Mianmian was sighing in her heart, when she heard Aunt Li's yin and yang strange voice.
"Ouch, didn't your Guo family all move to the town to live a good life, why do you still plan to go up the mountain?"
Guo Mianmian didn't want to deal with it when he heard this, but Father Guo didn't care about being kind to others, and replied: "How can there be a livelihood in the town, of course, you can save it, and now save more firewood, and the winter will be better." ”
After listening to Daddy Guo's words, Aunt Li pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything, and Guo Mianmian's father and daughter also went up the mountain by themselves.
When the two arrived at the place, Daddy Guo told her not to run around, so he went to the side to chop wood. Guo Mianmian responded obediently, and picked up some mountain goods by the side.
There are a lot of delicacies and wild goods on the mountain, not to mention far away, just pine tower, hazelnut, walnut Guo Mianmian picked up a lot. If you look closely at the fallen old trees, you can also find a lot of sun-dried fungus, and if you peel off the thick pine needles, you can also find a brown mushroom.
Stewed with fatty pork belly and mushrooms, it tastes full of rosin, oily and delicious! Guo Mianmian likes it! Thinking of the taste of pine mushrooms, Guo Mianmian couldn't help secreting saliva in his mouth, and seriously found the mushrooms under the pine trees.
She squatted under the tree, picked up the pine needles and dead leaves on the ground and looked closely, there were really a lot of things under the tree, in addition to mushrooms, there were also a few pine towers.
But he suddenly felt a pain in his head, and subconsciously turned around, only to find that something seemed to have fallen from his feet.
Looking closely, the rough skin and the entangled thin whiskers smelled the smell, and Rao is Guo Mianmian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It turned out to be ginseng?
This thing is expensive, Guo Mianmian didn't know it, or in his previous life, he was afraid that Liu Ci would consume his mind by reading, so he went to the pharmacy to buy some ginseng tablets and came back. A small wooden box, with a thin layer of ginseng slices inside, but about 20 pieces, less than a penny, costs three taels of silver.
She reached out to pick up the thing, couldn't help but get up and look up at the tree in front of her, and on tiptoe she saw that there was a small hole in the middle of the fork of the tree.
"Daddy!"
Guo Mianmian was quite surprised, and ran to the side in a few steps to call Daddy Guo over, and Daddy Guo was overjoyed when he came to see it.
"That's a good thing!"
He said happily, "Now that the wild goods outside are selling at a good price, they will definitely be able to sell for a good price when the time comes." ”
Guo Mianmian thought about it and shook her head gently: "Dad, there is no shortage of these money at home, ginseng is a big supplement, so let's stay at home." ”
The meaning of her words was suddenly heard by Father Guo.
Her mother Hu is weak, and her grandmother is getting older, so everything must be close to them first.
He also realized that he was not thoughtful enough, and at the same time he was pleased with his daughter's sensibility, so he quickly nodded, put the ginseng away and put it in the bag: "Mianmian is right, Dad must keep it for our family!" ”
Guo Mianmian only felt that her luck seemed to have changed a little better in this life, and her mood was a little more relaxed, and she asked: "We have hardly found so many ginseng on this mountain, who put this here?" ”
"Impossible."
Father Guo thought about it and laughed, "It must be a stone rat hoarding." ”
"Stone mice?"
"Well, there is nothing to eat in the mountains in winter, stone rats have sharp noses, and they dig whatever they smell, which is afraid that they prepare food for themselves for the winter."
"So what if we take them for the winter?"
"If you're worried, put some pine towers and hazelnuts in, for stone rats, these are better than ginseng!"
The more Daddy Guo thought about it, the more he felt lucky, and he was happy to work neatly, and he chopped a lot of firewood after a while.
Looking at the dry firewood all over the ground, Daddy Guo was a little worried, how to bring it back with so much. Carrying it by himself, he will definitely be able to carry it in two trips, but he is not worried that Guo Mianmian will watch the firewood on the mountain. But if no one is allowed to watch here, whoever cares about this being cut by someone else in the village will be removed in minutes.
Just when Guo's father hesitated, Guo Mianmian saw the Zhang family brothers, Zhang Sheng and his eldest brother Zhang Quan, who were also going down the mountain after chopping firewood.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, can I entrust you with something?"
I heard Guo Mianmian shouting from a distance that his Zhang brothers came over.
Father Guo watched the two come over and discussed: "Brother Quan, you see that I have too much firewood today, see if you can let Brother Sheng help me guard here, I will come up and get it as soon as I send Mianmian down." Mianmian is still young, and I am afraid that she will have something wrong on the mountain alone. There's nothing to take, and there are still some big autumn pears at home, so I'm good to give you the next autumn fire. ”
"What's worth it, look at what Uncle Guo said." Zhang Quan didn't feel anything wrong when he heard it, and continued: "Our brothers and sisters help you to bear it, and if you go down once, you can run back and forth." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Daddy Guo to react, so he beckoned Zhang Sheng to carry the firewood together. Daddy Guo couldn't refuse, and secretly thought, the brothers of this Zhang family can!
As soon as he entered the door, Father Guo first looked at Guo Mianmian's face that was red from the wind, and while smearing clam oil on her, he was quite blamed: "If you don't want to follow and still don't listen, look at your face, it's all red." ”
Daddy Guo has a lot of calluses on his hands and a lot of strength, Guo Mianmian's face didn't hurt in the first place, but it was rubbed by Daddy Guo.
Guo Mianmian hurriedly went up and grabbed his father's sleeve: "Daddy, you are light, my father has smeared clam oil on me, no matter how strong the wind is, I am not afraid!" ”
The little girl's tone was delicate, sensible and well-behaved, Father Guo immediately smiled, and still sneered at her in his mouth: "Wipe it, look at your little blushing, you can't do it next time." ”
"Hmm!"
Guo Mianmian nodded immediately, but thought in his heart that it might not be next time.
The two brothers of the Zhang family watched the father and daughter of the Guo family get along with each other, showing envious eyes, and Father Guo hurriedly wrapped the family's big autumn pears to the two brothers.
Guo Mianmian looked at the two brothers, thought for a while, and said, "Dad, otherwise we will ask the two brothers of the Zhang family to help us deliver firewood, okay?" ”
The Guo family was born in Orion, so naturally there were no cattle and horses, but Guo's father knew how to do carpentry and made a board car for the family before. These days, I borrowed a cow from the village and dragged it several times on a cart.
It costs money to borrow a cow, and it costs 20 yuan to borrow it for a day, which is enough to buy a lot of firewood, so it is better to ask two people to help push the cart. Firewood is not very heavy, it is just not easy to handle. If you don't cut it, there will be branches everywhere, and it will be difficult to pull; It's cut off one by one, but it's easy to pull, but it's love, it's not easy to pretend. If there is a person with you, it is not necessary to take turns to tow the car, not to mention the effort, and you can tow more.
