079 Lion's Head Plays with Walnuts
Chu turned his head forward and saw Qin Huairu's eyes red catching up with him, "Xiao Chu, your forest farm should have anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine, right?" ”
Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, remembering that after he was injured by a blind bear before, the forest farm did apply for some injury medicine as a precaution.
Even in his own family, there are still some anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretics that the second uncle and the cousin uncle bought from the commune have not finished eating.
Nodding his head, he asked, "Who in your mother's family has a fever?" ”
Qin Huairu's eyes were red and he hesitated for a moment before he said helplessly, "My brother's family has a lot of children, and they have been out of food for several days, so they all rely on my father and mother to help them."
The day before yesterday, my niece was so hungry that she went to catch sparrows with a few children, and she didn't know so, her hand was cut wide, and it was swollen last night.
Fortunately, although I have a fever, I can't have a bad fever, but it's hard to say in a day or two. ”
Chu Xiangqian sighed helplessly, "Let's go, hurry up, you should be able to get to the forest farm before dark." ”
Qin Huairu hurriedly thanked him, walked and took out a pair of walnuts from his pocket.
"Xiao Chu, my father said that the family has no money to buy medicine, so he can only exchange this pair of gadgets with people. If you can, give me some food. ”
Chu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that changing food was the key. looked at the pair of walnuts, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Wenwan walnut originated in the Han and Sui dynasties, was popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, and prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
This thing is easy to obtain, and the walnut itself has an auspicious meaning and is easy to be accepted by the people.
The people around the three capitals were influenced by the dignitaries in the city, and there were naturally many people who played with them.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Qianqian staring at the walnut in her hand.
"My father said that this pair of walnuts is a lion's head, and although things are not valuable, they are also extremely rare.
It was also because he had worked as a carpenter that he bought this pair of walnuts from an old farmer in the name of offsetting half of the carpenter's wages. ”
Chu Xiangqian stretched out his hand to take it and took a closer look, and saw that this pair of walnuts was shining red, and knew that this pair of walnuts must have been coiled for many years.
Visual inspection of the side width is at least 4.7 centimeters, or even 5 centimeters, which is indeed very rare.
This thing is playing with itself, and it's a bit of a diaphragm.
But if you stay for a few decades, you may be able to buy a villa.
And even now, it's easy to change three or five dollars.
When you meet someone you like, you are willing to give out ten or eight yuan.
If the old relationship between Gong Changqing who entrusted the store, that is, the relics of the previous dynasty, encountered, it was not difficult to be a year or two earlier, and one or twenty yuan would be fine.
But in Qin Huairu's hands, or his father's hands, it was only three or five yuan.
A lot of treasures are really worth a lot of money, but who to sell them to is a big question.
With the current traffic and information, the vast majority of people around the capital may not have entered the capital in their lives.
Not to mention finding the right buyer.
Chu Xiangqian stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Did your father tell you how much this lion's head is worth?" ”
Qin Huairu nodded hurriedly, "He said that in previous years, someone wanted to exchange 10 catties of white noodles with him." ”
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, his heart suddenly became happy.
A year or two ago, 10 catties of white flour was at most 3 yuan.
But now, it's eight or nine dollars.
"Okay, I won't take advantage of your family, just 10 catties of white noodles. And tell your dad if you can find this kind of gadget in the future.
I bartered him with grain. You can even if you want meat. ”
Qin Huairu was overjoyed, don't look at his father and said that someone wanted to exchange 10 into white noodles with him, but when he didn't, there was still some pride in his tone.
But Qin Huairu knew that his father actually regretted it in his heart.
It's just that now, let alone 10 pounds, people don't want to come out with 5 pounds.
And Chu Xiangqian certainly understands this truth, but if he doesn't give some benefits, why does Qin Huairu's father take this matter to heart?
Besides, you have to give him a little difference, otherwise people will earn a thank you for their hard work, and you will be a fool.
The two of them waited until it was completely dark, and then they reached the forest farm.
Where is Chu Xiangqian willing to take Qin Huairu to find the people in the forest farm, don't gossip or gossip, after the second uncle Chu He and the cousin uncle Chu Jiang know, they will definitely come to nag themselves.
took Qin Huairu on a detour and returned to his home on the hillside.
After finding out the anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretics, and giving them to Qin Huairu, he asked, "It's already dark, do you want to go back overnight, or do you want to stay with me overnight and leave tomorrow morning?" ”
Qin Huairu naturally wanted to go back overnight, but before chasing Chu Xiangqian, she didn't dare to say to her father and mother that she was chasing Chu Xiangqian.
Instead, he said to catch the last shuttle back to the city to buy medicine.
Now when I go back, not only is the time not right, but it is also difficult to explain to my family.
And walking at night in the mountains, or on a snowy day, is a joke with your own life.
Qin Huairu came here today and experienced something that almost froze to death.
The little courage in my heart, after thinking of the situation during the day, suddenly retreated.
Fortunately, although my niece had a fever, she didn't have a bad fever.
But if it is not handled well, it will be dragged and dragged and dragged away, and the people will be gone.
And along the way, Qin Huairu didn't think that since many people in the village had run out of food, if they didn't think about it, the family might have to starve to death a girl or an old man.
And the hope is naturally in Chu Xiangqian.
Judging from the fact that he did not hesitate to agree to exchange 10 catties of white flour for a pair of walnuts, he is not short of food.
Gritting his teeth, he simply didn't speak, and silently began to clean up the house.
Chu Qianqian knew her choice at a glance.
It's just that what Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that Qin Huairu agreed in his heart, but said on his lips, "Xiao Chu, my sister has a cousin who is very good, why don't I introduce her to you?" ”
Chu Xiangqian knew that it was Qin Jingru when he heard it, but he just calculated the time, Qin Jingru should be only half a big girl at this time.
It will be at least a few years before getting married.
And to really put it mildly, in front of the twenty-four or five-year-old Qin Huairu, when Qin Jingru was the most beautiful, he was also beaten by Qin Huairu when he was young.
Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't have this thought.
"Sister Qin, how old is your sister now?"
Qin Huairu's face couldn't help but become embarrassed.
Chu looked forward, without waiting for her to speak, "I think it's better to forget it, depending on what you mean, your cousin should still be a half-old child."
Let me wait a few years before I eat meat, I might as well find a beautiful city girl. ”
This can be regarded as poking Qin Huairu's lungs, just because she doesn't have a hukou in the city, not only does she have to starve, but her mother's family is in trouble, and she doesn't even mean to notify herself.
This made Qin Huairu want a job in the city more and more.
After a while, Qin Huai Rucai said, "Xiao Chu, about the apprenticeship, you didn't lie to your sister and me?" ”
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, "You should know what the shortage of food is now." If only I could get wild boars, wild deer, pheasants and hares from the mountains.
It's not easy to change apprenticeship or temporary work with some units? ”
Qin Huairu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Seeing that the house was almost cleaned up, he muttered, "I'll just lay a bunk on the floor at night." ”
Chu Xiangqian took care of these, reached out and grabbed Qin Huairu's hand, and pulled the pretty daughter-in-law into his arms.
This is a thunderbolt.
An hour later, the windows of the hut were covered with paper.
Suddenly, a pretty face was pressed against the window, and the expression seemed to be sick.
It's tangled and painful.
Fortunately, after ten minutes, everything was calm.
At night, Chu Qianqian hugged Qin Huairu, whose bones seemed to be falling apart, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, are you hungry?" I remember having a bit of jerky at home. ”
Qin Huairu suddenly had strength.
Dark Dao has been tossed by this kid for so long, and it should be eaten by him with some jerky.
For Chu Xiangqian, since he has started, he must give benefits to others.
Otherwise, you have to talk about feelings.
And it's really better to talk about feelings than interests.
As for why Qin Huairu was scolded by countless people, it was nothing more than that she didn't give birth to a stupid pillar.
Now that Qin Huairu has been started by herself, she doesn't need her to give birth to a child for herself.
The most important thing is that this woman is really moist when she is in her twenties.
