Chapter 17: The Road Ahead is Difficult

Coming out of the house, Gu Jia took Zhao Di and followed Laidi, followed the road in the village, and walked towards the mountain.

Although he had just arrived in Wangjiazhuang and was not familiar with any place, when he went out before, Gu Jia asked carefully.

After walking for a while, I saw a lot of villagers, probably because the three sisters were all fresh faces, and they were inevitably looked at.

Zhao Di was still young, so she was a little scared, Gu Jia took her hand and walked along the path towards the mountain.

"Sister, what are your plans?" Lai Di opened her mouth and asked Gu Jia, she trusted her eldest sister very much.

"I was thinking, go around the mountains, just like when we were in Gujia Village, if you can't keep it, you can find some wild eggs, it's best to catch two pheasants, and make up for grandma and aunt."

Anyway, I haven't moved around for so many years, and my relatives, no matter how close they are, are also estranged.

They had just come back, and they didn't know how long they would live in this house, Gu Jia thought that if they could often bring something back to the family and do more work, even if it was a long time, if the aunts and uncles had any opinions, for the sake of those things, it would be better, so as not to embarrass them too much.

Hearing her say this, Laidi nodded, and it took the three sisters half an hour to enter the mountain.

Maybe it's because when he was in Gujia Village, there was nothing on the mountain, so Gu Jia didn't report any hope, just thinking that it would be good to find some wild eggs or other wild things.

"Come to Di, you take Zhao Di over there, I'll take a look over here." This mountain is not small, and if you always act together, you won't gain much.

Gu Jia greeted and followed Lai Di and Zhao Di to act separately.

In addition to Zhao Di, the sisters have small baskets on their bodies, which can be filled with some forage for feeding the animals and other things.

Gu Jia was still holding a small shovel in her hand, and she searched the ground as she walked.

For more than a quarter of an hour, and without seeing anything, she couldn't help frowning, muttered a few words, and continued to walk forward.

In the end, the hard work paid off, and after another half an hour, she finally had some gains.

In the small basket behind her, there were more than a dozen wild eggs, which made her heart very happy.

Thinking that she had a harvest here, she shouted the names of Laidi and Zhaodi, and when she heard the echo, she walked in their direction.

"Eldest sister, have you gained anything?" When they got closer, Laidi's voice came.

"Picked up a dozen or so wild eggs, what about you?" While walking, Gu Jia's eyes were still touching around.

"There aren't many things on the mountain here, and I don't know if they've been picked up, I looked for Zhao Di for a long time, and there were only three or four, but we filled the grass full."

Wild eggs could not be found, and the young ladies were not idle, they came up the mountain, and there was a task, which was to beat grass.

When the grass is taken home, it can be chopped up and fed to the family's livestock, and it is not in vain.

"It's okay, I have a dozen or so here, and there are quite a few." Smiling and comforting Laidi, Gu Jia came closer.

The three sisters walked around here, filled the back basket behind Gu Jia, and then prepared to go home.

"Sister, when you go back, ask your uncle, are there any rabbits on this mountain, let's prepare, how many rabbits will you try?"

When she was in Gujia Village before, she heard that people had told her about rabbits, but she hadn't tried it herself, so she wanted to give it a try.

"Okay, if you can really put on the rabbit, the meat can be eaten, the skin is ready, and you can make a knee pad for grandma, which is good."

Gu Jia promised in her mouth, her eyes looked around, and when she went up the mountain again tomorrow, she wouldn't come this way.

"Eldest sister, let's go fishing too, shall we?" Zhao Di's voice came, and she seemed to have saliva in her mouth.

It turned out that when I was in Gujia Village in the past, the bolts and pillars of the uncle's family went down to the river to catch fish.

But instead of taking it home, they found a place and secretly grilled the fish, and the two of them ate it separately.

After that, they showed off in front of Zhao Di, so Zhao Di remembered it.

"Okay, when we get home, we'll find a river to turn around at noon." Gu Jia pondered, after all the turns in the mountains and rivers were finished, he went to the town to take a look, and he had to find a way out.

When they got home, the three sisters put the grass in the basket away, and then took the wild eggs and went to Liu's house.

At this time, Jin is in the house, accompanying Liu to do needlework, her needlework is good, when she is in the town, every once in a while, she will sell some needlework for money.

Seeing that the three sisters came back and brought back wild eggs, Jin was very happy.

"You three, it's weird, the children in our village, go to the mountains if you have nothing to do, at this time, it's not easy to find a wild egg."

Seeing more than a dozen wild eggs, Liu Shi smiled and spoke, she said this, Gu Jia secretly remembered it in her heart.

I used to think that I would go to the mountains every day to find some wild things, and if I said that, looking for wild things is not a long-term job.

"No wonder, I walked for a long time to find these few, I pondered, a few are always good, for grandma and aunt to make up for their bodies."

Glancing at the Jin family, Gu Jia estimated that her mother had not told her grandmother Liu about her pregnancy.

Also, what should I say about this? When they came back, their aunts and uncles didn't say anything, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

What if I knew that my mother was pregnant......

Gu Jia's heart was full of sorrow, and she felt that her current situation was much more difficult than she had at the beginning.

"You kid have a heart." Liu touched her head and said with a smile.

"Mother, in the past, didn't the second brother do a little business? Don't you do it now? The hand kept coming, Jin thought of something and asked Liu.

"Hey, when did this happen, I didn't do it for a long time, and it was okay at the beginning, but later, someone else also did this, and it was better than ours, and after a long time, no one came, and I couldn't do it."

"I thought about it and took it to the town, but what we could think of, people could think of, so we pulled it down."

Sighing, Liu told his mother about the previous incident.

"Grandma, what business did my second uncle do before?" Gu Jia raised her head and pretended to be innocent.

"It's not a business, but I heard that beans can grind tofu, so let's follow it, a little bit of exploration, and the tofu made is not delicious, but it is better than fried beans."

Hearing his granddaughter's question, Liu didn't think much about it, and said with a smile.

"In this way, grandma, is the family you mentioned before still making tofu?"

Nodding, Gu Jia faintly had some thoughts in his heart.

"Well, it's still cooking, if you want to eat it, grandma will buy a piece tomorrow morning and make you tofu to eat."

I thought Gu Jia asked, I had never eaten tofu, so I was greedy, children, this is inevitable.

Liu smiled and agreed to her, anyway, it was in the village, and if you wanted to buy it, it would be quite easy.
