"Changning, since you are in a hurry to go back to feed the chickens, then hurry up, my aunt was joking with you just now, in the current situation of your family, how can my aunt take this thing from you, go back with a bamboo basket on your back, we still have to go to hunt pigweed." Aunt Cao casually found a reason to refuse.

As soon as she said this, several other aunts who were traveling with her also nodded their heads in agreement, looking at Gu Changning's eyes with mixed reviews, some seeing jokes and some pitiful, all of them looked at her.

Gu Changning turned a blind eye to the meaning expressed in their eyes, and when he heard Aunt Cao say this, he replied very simply: "Then I'll go back first, I haven't fed the chickens at home yet, if my aunt needs it later, I'll send this sheep's hoof grass to my aunt, sheep's hoof grass is not a precious thing, and my aunt doesn't need to be polite to me." ”

Aunt Cao glanced at the bamboo basket with disgust, nodded perfunctorily, and left with a few other aunts without saying a word, and secretly said in her heart while walking, who is sparse of this sheep's hoof grass all over the mountains, and she Gu Changning regards this thing as a treasure!

But also, the pillars of their family are gone, and they have no source of livelihood, so don't they have to be treasured for everything?

Aunt Cao felt much more comfortable when she thought about it, and her steps under her feet were much brisker.

Last year, when the Gu family's house was just built, it attracted the envy and jealousy of many people in the village, not only buying land to build a house, but also building a high stone wall, which looks magnificent and atmospheric.

This incident caused a sensation in the village, everyone went to watch, she didn't know how many eyes Yang Huiyun had, she felt that her life was really good, she married a capable man, and only ten years later, there was such a row of houses in the family, how much silver did it take!

She didn't dare to count her in front of her, but she didn't know how many times she scolded behind her back, thinking that he was not as good as Gu Shan and could make money.

Looking at it now, this life to make money has to be spent, not to mention that they spent all their savings in order to build this house, and they also had a dispute with the family in the north, this family of orphans and widows, maybe what will happen in the future.

Gu Changning didn't know what Aunt Cao thought in her heart, she looked at the backs of several aunts, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked an arc, turned around happily in her heart, and walked away a little proudly.

Fortunately, she thought it through and didn't let them spot the shadow of the pile of raspberries.

Back at home, Gu Changning hurriedly closed the courtyard door, first put the firewood back in the firewood room, then put the back basket in the kitchen, and then picked out all the raspberries he picked and put them in a bowl to clean.

Gu Huai'an was reciting the text in the room at that time, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table were neatly arranged, and there was no trace of movement.

It's not that Gu Huaian doesn't want to practice calligraphy, but he is really afraid that if he is not familiar with the text, he will write a bad piece of paper if he rashly starts writing.

So he came up with this method, first read and memorize the text, and then practice on the ground with a branch after memorization, and then write on the paper when he is familiar with it, so as to reduce the possibility of mistakes, so that he does not have to worry about writing the paper waste.

Because paper is really expensive.

While reciting, the door of the study was suddenly gently pushed open, and a beam of light entered.

Gu Huai'an stopped his movements, looked towards the door, and saw Gu Changning's little head first tentatively sticking in, and when his eyes turned to him, he showed a big smiling face, raised his feet and walked towards him, raised the porcelain bowl in his hand as he walked in, and said, "Brother, what do you see I found?" ”

"Raspberries?" Gu Huai'an was a little surprised when he saw the things in the bowl, and said in surprise, "Did you pick it up?" Is there one over there? ”

"I sent it to A-Niang, but A-Niang said that she was pregnant now and couldn't eat this, so I brought it all."

"Can't eat this?" Gu Huai'an said strangely.

This thing is rare, after all, the number of fruits that a shrub can hang is limited, usually dozens to more than a hundred, once a figure is found, it is immediately coaxed by the children in the village to eat it, and the adults will not grab this with the children.

"Well, A-Niang said that it was seen in the book, so she didn't eat this raspberry. Brother, let me tell you, I found a lot of raspberries in the mountains this time, and no one picked a large number of them, and I looked like no one knew there was a row of raspberry bushes, and then I thought...... After a few days, I picked it and sold it at the market, how much can I sell, brother, what do you think? Gu Changning handed the raspberry to his brother and said with a wink of eyes full of anticipation.

"You're only eight years old, go to the market to sell things......" Gu Huaian frowned.

Even if the children of farmers are in charge of the family at an early age, there are still few who go to the market to sell at the age of eight.

Gu Huai'an thought for a while, and said again: "That's it, I'll go with you, just now Dr. Li came to show Ah Niang, just prescribed a few medicines, about three or five days to drink, he said that Ah Niang's current physical condition can't stop the medicine, and he has to keep taking the prescription he prescribed, so when it comes to the day of the market, let's go together, and after selling the raspberries, we can also buy medicine for Ah Niang by the way." ”

This Dr. Li is the only doctor in Xinghua Village, who is greedy for money and stingy, and on weekdays, the villagers will not look for him if they have a headache and brain fever, and only if they are seriously ill, they will go to him to see him.

Mainly because the medicines he prescribes are too expensive, and the medicines he buys from him are a few pennies more expensive than those in the town, which is really not cost-effective.

Gu Huai'an was thinking that he already had a prescription anyway, and he could take it to the pharmacy in the town to grab the medicine, and it would be good if it could be cheaper than a few copper plates.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that his sister's face was full of gloom, he was shocked and asked, "Ning Ning, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Changning came back to his senses, looked at his brother, and although the expression on his face was somewhat relieved, he still said with some ugliness: "Brother, this Doctor Li can't believe it!" ”

Gu Huai'an was stunned: "Why?" ”

Their family doesn't have much contact with Dr. Li's family, and there are no festivals.

"Brother, do you know what I saw when I first came back?" Gu Changning lowered his eyes and suddenly threw out this sentence.

"What?"

"I saw the second aunt talking to Dr. Li's lady on the village road, although I couldn't hear it clearly from a distance, but the smiles on their faces were clear, and the smiles were so bright, it can be seen that the friendship is not ordinary."

"This ......" Gu Huaian looked at his sister in disbelief, his brows furrowed.

Last year, because of the house incident, their family had annoyed their step-grandmother Gao and the family she gave birth to, and the contact between the two families, which had rarely been in contact with each other, was directly severed.

After all, Dr. Li's reputation is known to everyone in the village, because of such a reputation, the villagers can not look for him to see a doctor, so Dr. Li can only be moved by the wind, and when he hears something, he will take the initiative to come to the door to see a doctor, and some thin-skinned villagers are embarrassed to say that they refuse, so they can only let him prescribe medicine.

Gu Huai'an originally only thought that Dr. Li came to the door to make money, and didn't think there was anything wrong.

But as soon as Dr. Li saw A-Niang here, Ning Ning saw that Dr. Li's lady was talking happily with the people from Gao's side, Gu Huai'an frowned, and his first instinct was that there was a lot of article here.
