Chapter 55: Family Affairs
Tomorrow is the New Year, and the heavy snow has been falling for a few days in a row, and today is the last day of the market.
Gu Tingcheng was going to buy some things and come back for the New Year, although he had almost everything at home.
But you can still buy some, such as New Year's paintings, paper-cuts and so on.
Also buy some wine and fruit and offerings.
There is no need for gifts and the like, and there are no people to leave here, just a few good households in the village, just send some jerky chicken cakes and the like.
In this way, Gu Tingcheng took the little fox and Ye Chongyun to the town, Gu Tingcheng was responsible for buying it, and Ye Chongyun was responsible for taking it.
"It's amazing that there are still people hunting hares." Gu Qingcheng looked at some of the prey in front of a hunter and said, this hunter is also quite young, no more than twenty years old.
The hunter only raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Qingcheng, and just asked flatly
"Girl, do you want to buy rabbits?" There is no follow-up, and it is a little cold.
Gu Tingcheng didn't mind, so he bought his two rabbits, there were no fresh rabbits at home, only dried ones.
It's not bad to take these two back and add a dish, although there are also people in the village who raise rabbits, but because the factory is open, the current batch of rabbits is not fat enough, so it's better to keep it!
By the time the factory opens next year, it will be about the same.
Because there were too many things, the two of them had to go back and put them down and buy others.
Some of these ancient calligraphy and paintings are beautiful. Gu Tingcheng simply loved these paintings, they were so artistic, so he bought several pairs.
Ye Chongyun asked when he saw that Gu Chengcheng had bought so many paintings.
"Lady, do you like to draw? I can also draw, why don't you ask me to paint for you? ”
Gu Qingcheng glanced at him and said
"Then why didn't you draw it for me earlier?"
Ye Chongyun was a little aggrieved, so he didn't speak.
The two of them bought a lot of things, although there was nothing to buy.
But because of today's excitement and a lot of strange things, Gu Tingcheng still bought a lot.
I also bought two sets of clothes, and the quality was not bad. I originally wanted to buy one for Ye Chongyun, but he didn't like it, so he didn't buy it.
Then he went home with a car full of things, put them in their places, put them on the wall, hung them on the wall, and put them away when they should have collected.
……
Ye Chongyun didn't come back after shopping with her in the morning because she had something to do, and Gu Qingcheng was a little bored after eating.
Chen Liu'er came, Gu Tingcheng hadn't seen her for a few days, and this time she saw her with a smile on her eyebrows, and her face was still a little blushing.
I don't know what this girl is looking for her for? So he asked
"What is the reason for the shame on your face?"
"Sister Gu, my grandmother and my mother told me about a family affair." The little girl lowered her head a little shyly and said.
When Gu Qingcheng heard this, it turned out that this was the case, this ancient woman was really shy.
"That's good." It's just that Chen Liu'er is still a little young, only about thirteen or fourteen years old.
But then I think about it, my current body is only fourteen or fifteen years old, where can I go?
"Who is the other party? Where? What for? Gu Tingcheng asked again.
"Peach Blossom Village, a hunter, nineteen this year. There is no father and no mother in the family, and my mother was not optimistic, but my grandmother said that people can. Chen Liuer replied shyly.
It can be seen that it is a girl with a spring.
"When are you going to get engaged?"
"I'm here to tell you about this, I'm going to get married after the New Year, and I'll get married next year."
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Gu Tingcheng was a little puzzled, Chen Liuer was really a little smaller, could she get married with this body?
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's mainly that I'm about to turn fourteen, and the other party is about to turn twenty, and I want to get married sooner." Chen Liuer explained.
"Okay, so why did you come to me today?" Are you too nervous to come and talk to her?
"My grandmother asked me to ask if you have any candy at home, and I want to buy candy from you, because whoever has a happy event has to give some candy to the people in the village. They also serve candy to the man who comes. ”
"Hey candy, how much do you want? I'll see if I can do it. ”
"It's about four or five pounds!" The main reason is that it is a bit troublesome and expensive to go to the town now, and when I helped before, I learned that Sister Gu seems to be able to make candy.
Grandma asked her to ask.
"Four or five pounds is no problem, what kind of packaging do you want?" Gu Tingcheng felt that since it was a candy, it couldn't be put casually, right? And it's not good if it's connected.
"Huh? What kind of packaging? Liu Er herself didn't quite understand.
"So be it! There were still oil-paper bags left in the factory before, I'll give you some later, and you can take them back and cut them into small cubes. I'll send it to me when it's cut. ”
"Oh, good." Then Chen Liu'er went back.
Because the New Year is coming tomorrow, Gu Tingcheng decided to start the wheat today, and when the New Year is over in the next few days, he can make sugar.
After the meal was cooked in the evening, Ye Chongyun hadn't come back yet, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but be a little worried, wouldn't he pre-stab again?
It was still snowing outside, and the snowman hadn't melted yet, but was covered with a quilt.
After waiting for a while, there was finally a noise in the courtyard.
Gu Qingcheng went out to take a look, and saw Ye Chongyun coming in over the wall.
"Come back, let's eat." Looking at Ye Chongyun's familiar smiling face, Gu Qingcheng was relieved.
"Well, lady, did you miss me? I miss you. Ye Chongyun said with some coquettishness.
also stretched out his hand to hold Gu Tingcheng's little hand, and Gu Tingcheng did not shake him off.
"Your hands are so cold, soak them in hot water." Pour hot water into the basin and tell him to wash his hands.
"Okay."
The room was a little dim now, and Gu Qingcheng added another candle, which was still the kind of big red candle that ancient people got married.
I felt a lot brighter in an instant.
"Let's eat, where have you been today?" Gu Tingcheng asked at this time.
"Back to Saltwater City." Speaking of this, Ye Chongyun frowned a little.
Gu Tingcheng looked at him and frowned and asked
"What's wrong? Did something happen? ”
"Well, a lot of those refugees have died, and I've already called someone to play. The conservatory that I asked my people to build has also been repaired, but it is a little rudimentary and is being tested. If it is successful, it can be reported and used on a large scale. ”
"How did you die?" Gu Qingcheng added a chopstick dish to him and asked flatly.
"It's cold, I'm freezing to death." His second brother, who has not achieved enough and has more than enough failures, really has no brains at all.
"Does anyone have a cold? Do you get sick a lot? Gu Qingcheng looked at Ye Chongyun seriously.
"I don't know, I didn't go to the tent I set up, I just went back to the City Lord's Mansion to deal with some things. And then they rushed back. ”
"Okay, let's eat, finish eating, rest early. By the way, how did you get back so quickly today? ”
Gu Tingcheng remembered that it took him so long to go to the county seat, but it was normal for the carriage to be slower.
"It took me two and a half hours to go on my horse, and I was delayed there for an hour and a half, and then it took two and a half hours to come back."
Two hours in one hour.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
No wonder I'm only back now, Ye Chongyun went about ten o'clock in the morning, and it's almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
It only took thirteen hours to get back.
Looking at Ye Chongyun's tired appearance, Gu Qingcheng didn't ask anything anymore. I want him to eat and have a good rest.
As for whether anyone is sick, let's talk about it later.
