Chapter 54: Preparations Before Departure

"I ...... I don't know! Siya woke up just now, maybe she was hungry, I heard her cry, so I went to the room to feed her, and I don't know who ate it!" The meat is gone, Erya is also very scared, the milk rarely beats people, that is, it will be punished for not having food, originally they did not get much food in the big house, and the four girls also relied on the food saved by their father and mother to fill their stomachs, if the big house was fined, then there was less food, and the mother was hungry and always had a stomachache.

"Mother, forget it, right? It's just a few pieces of meat and it's not a big deal, so I'll catch a rabbit next time, won't it? Gu Chengyu saw that Erya's frightened face turned a little pale, and sighed, his mother's temperament really needs to be changed. is still poor and afraid, a few pieces of rabbit meat can do so many things, which makes Gu Chengyu think of the moment when he was just born, his mother wrestled because of eggs, this is the sorrow of the poor.

"Silly son! How can rabbits be so easy to catch? Lu felt that his son was too naΓ―ve.

"Mother, don't we have a lot of rabbits in our house? When the little rabbit grows up, it will give birth to a lot of little rabbits, and they can't eat it all, and the rabbit's fur can also be used to make big clothes for the mother. Mother, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while. Gu Chengyu could only let his mother shift the target, rubbed his eyes, and pretended to be sleepy.

"Xiaobao is sleepy, then let's go rest for a while, then there are three pieces left, let's take them to the room!" The provincial ones were stolen and eaten again. "Lu Shi is distressed when he thinks about it, there are only these three pieces left in a good bowl of meat, and there is no meat on it.

Erya watched the uncle and the milk cross the threshold of the stove, and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the milk was no longer pursued. Er Ya set his eyes on the uncle, only to see him holding Lu's hand, and the sun made a halo on him, shining a little dazzling, so he had to look away.

And just like that, two days flew by. Before dawn, Gu Chengyu was called up from bed by his father. With his eyes half-open, looking out the window, it was still dark outside, Gu Chengyu yawned while looking at the alarm clock in the space with his mind, and the hour hand was pointing to four, about four o'clock. Because it came to ancient times, the clocks in the space did not have a place to match the time, so they could only estimate an approximate estimate according to Daddy Gu's dictation, which should be about a moment in the morning at this time.

It's early! Rubbing his eyes, he quickly got up and dressed, but he couldn't rub it, his father was going to the county to sell honeysuckle today, but he had been soaking it for a long time, and his father and mother agreed. It's been almost five years since I've been here, and I've never even been to Daji once, and this time I'm going to go to the county seat, of course, I have to take the opportunity to take a good look and learn about this dynasty.

The honeysuckle was taken back and dried for a total of three days, the sun was big, and it was a good weather with a clear sky. When I picked it up, it was weighed too much, a total of one hundred and sixty-six catties, which Gu Chengyu took a lot of from the space and mixed it in, and he didn't dare to put it more, for fear that Daddy Gu would find out. Before loading the sack yesterday, I said that after three days of exposure, it had shrunk to a little more than forty-two catties, that is to say, almost four catties, in order to get one catty of dried flowers. This is still the first batch, the quality of the sun is not bad, the shrinkage is not very serious, if it is waiting for the head to grow out, there are not so many, and the condition is not so good. left five catties for Li Langzhong, and the others were called by his father.

Gu Chengyu yawned and got up to wash, his father was ready, and discussed with the old king who drove the ox cart in the village, first send them to the town, and then find an ox cart from the town to go to the county. The old king wanted to send them to the county, but unfortunately the oxen he drove were already old, and when they walked to the town, carrying people and goods, they couldn't go fast, and then they went to the county, they might not be able to bear it, so it was better to go to the town to take care of a stronger ox cart.

When Gu Chengyu finished washing and walked into the yard, his father had already loaded the sack onto the ox cart, and his mother was making a nest with his sister-in-law in the stove. Of course, it will definitely not be possible for him to go with his father, the old and the young, and his mother is not at ease, so last night he said that he would let the eldest brother accompany them. Originally, the second brother also wanted to go, but his father didn't allow it, the second brother was shrewd, the main thing to go this time was to sell ginseng, and his mother was afraid that he would have to calculate the money again.

Gu Chengli also stood in the courtyard early, saw Gu Chengyu who came out of the house yawning, and said with a smile: "Xiaobao, don't go if you're so sleepy, rest at home!" I'll come back and bring you meat buns. ”

His mother came out of the stove with a cloth bag for the nest, "Yes! Xiaobao, it's tiring to go to the county! It takes more than half an hour to go to the town, and then to the county, it will take another hour, even if there is an ox cart to sit, it is unbearable, you have little arms and legs, how can you stand it? ”

When Gu Chengyu heard that he would not let him go, he immediately cheered up. "Mother, big brother, I haven't been to the county yet! Just let me go! I've never even sat in an ox cart! Dad promised me, but I can't go back. ”

"Haha! If they really don't want you to go, they will wake you up? Look you sleep like a little piglet, we don't even know when we're gone! Father Gu, who came in from outside the courtyard gate, smiled and joked with Gu Chengyu.

They were laughing happily here, and Gu Chengyi in the West Wing had already woken up. Yesterday he told his father that he wanted to go to the county together, but his father didn't agree, so he was a little strange, just selling honeysuckle, why did he have to go to the county seat to sell it? Even if his father said that there was a medical clinic in the county that Li Langzhong was familiar with, and he could sell it for more money, but the money for hiring a car back and forth would cost dozens of yuan, and it would be troublesome, so there must be something he didn't know about here.

Gu Chengyi looked at He Shi who was snoring next to him through the faint light, irritability involuntarily emerged, sat up from the kang, looked at the two sons who were asleep at the end of the kang, and his eyes softened. Thinking of Sanya Gu Wan again, she has always liked to sleep with the big girls in the big house, so it's okay, anyway, the house can't be squeezed.

Putting up a gap in the window, Gu Chengyi looked into the courtyard, in fact, it was not yet dawn, and the figures in the courtyard were blurry, and he could only hear the sound of them talking. The voice of the boss making fun of the fifth; Lu Shi diligently advised; And his father's brisk laughter, none of which seemed to have anything to do with him. Lowered the window and lay back on the kang, since the last incident, his father seems to be a little defensive of him, in fact, he is also forced, isn't he? But if there is a way, who will calculate his own brother? Isn't the third brother his brother? Although he is not a mother, he is still a father! Besides, what he did wasn't too much, was it? If you don't do this, how can your father pay for the money? Mother doesn't talk about it first, does my father also have an opinion on him? The more I thought about it, the more irritated I became, so I simply closed my eyes and avoided the laughter outside the window.
