"It's Mrs. Li of Dr. Li's family." Cao Yueya looked at her and said curiously, "What else can there be Aunt Li, isn't it Dr. Li who sees Aunt Yang?" ”

Gu Changning understood, it turned out that the person who put the cold arrow on his back was Li Niangzi!

It was she who spread rumors in the village, saying that the fetus was not good, and that there was a miscarriage eight times out of ten, no matter which woman it was, hearing such rumors would always take root in her heart, and when the time came, she was depressed, maybe she might really have a miscarriage, Li Niangzi This is really insidious!

"Why are you doing, why did you suddenly stop talking!" Seeing Gu Changning fall into a sudden silence, Cao Yueya stretched out her hand and poked her, and asked dissatisfiedly.

Gu Changning came back to his senses, continued the movements on his hands, and said lightly: "No, I'm busy picking fungus, don't you see?" ”

"Nobody wants that thing, what did you do?"

"If no one wants it, no one wants it, can't I take it home and eat it myself?" Gu Changning said angrily, "Besides, there are more fungus in the summer, and I don't want to eat it later, can't I pick a little more and store it at home?" ”

Cao Yueya tilted her head and glanced at her, thinking that it was too, but she just didn't want to admit Gu Changning's words, so she stood aside and watched her busy.

"Also, my aunt is doing well now, so it's not as serious as Aunt Li said." Gu Changning suddenly threw out a sentence.

"Aunt Li has always liked to talk about serious things, and the more serious she says, the more people will come to Dr. Li to see a doctor, isn't it normal." Cao Yueya didn't care, and said while standing next to a tree.

"Eh, by the way, you're not here to pick fungus, so what are you going up the mountain to do now?" After chatting with Aunt Li, Gu Changning remembered to ask about this stubble.

She saw that Cao Yueya didn't hold a tool in her hands, and she didn't carry anything on her back, so she went up the mountain empty-handed, which felt a little strange.

"I dropped the sickle when I went up the mountain to cut pigweed yesterday, and now I came up the mountain to look for it, and it was near this piece, and when I was looking for it, I was hit by you."

"Pay attention to the words, you hit me!" Gu Changning glanced at her angrily, and was about to say something, when Yu Guang was suddenly shaken by something, she turned her head to look at it a few times, suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed in a certain direction, and said to Cao Yueya, "Is it your sickle lying in the grass over there?" ”

Cao Yueya looked in the direction she was pointing, and immediately said with a happy face: "Eh, that's it, it's my sickle!" ”

She hurriedly ran over, picked up the sickle lying in the grass, blew a few mouthfuls, blew the grass roots on her face, and turned to look at Gu Changning: "Okay, since you helped me find the sickle, then it will be offset by the fact that you hit me." ”

"......" Gu Changning looked at Cao Yueya with a black line on his face, and shouted at her back, "Why did I hit you, obviously you hit me!" ”

Cao Yueya pretended not to hear and ignored her words, walked straight down the mountain, and greeted Chen Shuang and them when she passed them, looking very calm.

Gu Changning glared at her back a few times, and then changed to another place to continue picking black fungus.

Cao Yueya, this guy is getting better and better at cheating!

After picking on the mountain for a while, everyone also picked up a basket of large and small, and the harvest was very rich, and a group of people went home happily.

It's just that Yang Jin found that Gu Changning's mood was not very good, she deliberately took a step behind, walked beside Gu Changning and asked in a whisper, "What's wrong?" ”

She was still elated when everyone went up the mountain together, but now it was quiet, and she knew that Gu Changning had something in her heart at a glance.

Gu Changning, who was keenly observing Yang Jin, didn't deny it, she hugged the bamboo basket and said straightforwardly: "Didn't there be news of my aunt's miscarriage in the village before?" I just learned from Cao Yueya who the person who put the news is, it's Mrs. Li! ”

"Mrs. Li of Dr. Li's family?" Yang Jin said clearly, "It seems that what happened when she was washing clothes by the river last time made her hold a grudge." ”

Gu Changning nodded: "Not only that, since my brother reacted to Dr. Li's black-hearted behavior, he directly rejected Dr. Li's door-to-door diagnosis of A-Niang's pulse, and since then, Mrs. Li has seen me with a nose that is not a nose and eyes are not eyes." ”

Dr. Li's family still felt that their family still had silver left, and they tried to get their family's money, but my brother bluntly refused Dr. Li to come to the house to diagnose the pulse, and even did not accept the medicine he sent to the door, Mrs. Li naturally would not have a good face for her and her brother.

"Then does Aunt Yang know about this?" Yang Jin asked.

Gu Changning shook his head: "I don't know yet, my brother and I didn't say it, although A-Niang has passed the dangerous period of the first three months, but now the family situation is special, and my brother and I are afraid that she will be stimulated again, which will not be good, so we said okay, wait for the three-month period of Daddy's death, and then tell A-Niang about it." ”

At that time, A-Niang will already be six or seven months pregnant, so she shouldn't be so easily affected by emotional fluctuations, right? Gu Changning himself couldn't be sure.

"Hey, how do you feel that since Uncle Gu Shan's death, your family hasn't had a stable life in the past two months." Yang Jin couldn't help sighing.

In the past, when Gu Shan was there, because he was burly and tall, as powerful as an ox, and he looked very difficult to mess with, many aunts who loved to chew the root of their tongue did not dare to talk about it in front of Gu Changning and them, for fear that Gu Shan would come to the door.

Now that Gu Shan is gone, those people have no scruples at all, she bumped into an aunt several times, and when she saw Gu Changning appear, she suddenly raised her voice and said nonsense, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, for fear that the appearance of others not being able to hear would make people uncomfortable to watch, not to mention Gu Changning, who was the person concerned.

"Who said it wasn'......" Gu Changning echoed softly, and then fell silent and silent.

When Daddy was there, he would go to help anyone in the village who needed help, and even when he saw her and her brother, he would smile and greet her, and occasionally grab a handful of peanuts for them to eat.

Now as soon as the people are gone, they immediately change their faces, and they also feel that their family of orphans and widows is easy to bully, and they don't shy away from talking and doing things.

I don't know how long it will take for such a situation, Gu Changning hopes that winter will come soon, so that she can make a lot of money, at least let her know in her heart that she has confidence in the village, so that even if others say something ugly, she will not be affected so much.

Gu Changning silently sighed in his heart.

The little girls came down from the western mountain road, said goodbye to each other, and then went their separate ways.

Gu Changning, who was the closest, was the first to return home with a small basket, at this time the ground in the yard was still damp, and the fungus could not be placed on the ground to dry, so she went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash the black fungus, and then put the cleaned black fungus neatly in a round dustpan, and then took it to the yard and put it on the tripod shelf, waiting for the sun to dry them all.

After drying, it can be put in a jar, covered with a lid, sealed and preserved.

As for the bowl of black fungus that she deliberately left behind after cleaning, it was prepared to be fried and eaten at night.

Freshly picked black fungus is poisonous and cannot be eaten immediately, it must be washed first, then rinsed three or four times with clean water, and it must be fully cooked to eat when it is finally cooked.

This is very similar to carob, it must be fully cooked before eating, if you eat undercooked beans, it will cause diarrhea, so Gu Changning has always paid attention to this when cooking.

Of course, this is a fresh black fungus that needs to be paid attention to, and sun-dried black fungus does not have to worry about the symptoms of poisoning after eating.

The dried black fungus only needs to be soaked in water first, and then the pedicle at the bottom is removed after soaking until it is soft and divergent, and then the large black fungus is torn into small pieces and a small piece, and the sand and gravel mixed in it are washed off, and you can put it in the pot.

Gu Changning looked at the black fungus in the dustpan and felt that it was far from enough to sell it, so in the next period of time, as long as there was a heavy rain, she was ready to go up the mountain to pick more black fungus and come back to dry, and strive to sell it at a good price.

Shen Zheng, Gu Huai'an came back from school, and as soon as he walked into the yard, he found the black fungus drying on the triangular wooden frame.

"Brother, are you back?" Gu Changning was coming out of the kitchen, about to go to the backyard to add chicken food and water to the chicken coop, when she saw Gu Huai'an appear in the yard, she subconsciously glanced at the direction of the main house of the north house, and then lowered her voice and asked, "That Master Lin...... Are you still teaching in the school? ”

Gu Huai'an was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I won't teach until the end of this month." ”

Gu Changning blinked, "What about after the end of the month?" Who will teach? ”

She still remembered that when she went to the school to find her brother before, the student named Lin Junze said that Master He couldn't attend classes for three hours because of his age and health, so he found his junior brother.

Now that Master Lin is gone, will the rest of the lessons continue to be taught by Master He?

"I don't know much about this, everything depends on He Fuzi's arrangement." Gu Huai'an replied, and then asked, "By the way, these are black fungus in the courtyard?" ”

"yes."

"That's a lot." Gu Huai'an looked at it roughly, at least enough to eat at home for several days.

"It's not much, I'm still going to dry it and sell it, this amount is not enough at all." Gu Changning got the answer he wanted to know, and remembered that he hadn't fed the big flowers and small flowers yet, so he hurriedly walked to the backyard with the chicken food in his hand, and replied as he walked.

Take it and sell it?

Gu Huai'an looked at the back of the distance speechlessly, glanced at the dustpan on the wooden shelf, and went back to his room with a twitch of the corner of his mouth.

It's rarely accepted, right?

Although he didn't think he could sell it, but seeing his sister's high spirits, he didn't say anything to hit her.

Anyway, if no shopkeeper is willing to accept it, you can keep it for home to eat, which is not a waste.

Gu Huai'an went to the study without saying a word, and polished and copied the book for himself.

A few days ago, He Fuzi gave them a holiday, and he used this time to copy the book quickly, and he had already copied a thick book in five days, and now it is still a few days away from the delivery time agreed by the shopkeeper of the bookstore.

If you can finish copying another thin book in the remaining days, then you will be able to get 130 wen in this month!

Although it is not much, it can be regarded as his own ability to eat.
