Chapter 220 Wen Wuyan goes out
Gu Qingqing didn't know what was going on with other families. She really had no relatives to visit, except for going back to her mother's house on the second day of the New Year. On the sixth day, the whole family went to the town to visit the Shen Mansion.
It was a very enjoyable day.
For the villagers, the New Year ends after the first month of the lunar year, and by that time every household will gradually prepare for spring ploughing.
The Wen family became busy after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The couple was not busy farming, but the county examination would be held in early February this year, and Wen Wuyan had to be busy preparing for the examination.
The county's notice was posted on the 16th day of the first lunar month, which roughly meant that candidates who were planning to take the exam had to bring their name cards to the county government office to get the registration form.
After filling out the registration form, you can go back and wait for the time to take the exam.
The day before, Gu Qingqing was a little worried about Wen Wuyan going alone and wanted to go with him.
Wen Wuyan smiled and said, "Qingqing, I'm not a child. If I need you to accompany me when I sign up, how can I achieve success in the future? In addition, we may need to stay at the county government for a day. Are you at ease with the children at home?"
Of course Gu Qingqing was worried.
Then I thought about it and it made sense. He is not a child and I can't always worry about everything for him, right?
If he could pass the exam and become a student, he would go to study in the town or the county. I couldn't possibly go with him, could I?
Gu Qingqing glanced at the child beside her, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Li Xin. She smiled and said, "Well, I won't go. Then you can take Daxin with you. You'll always have someone to keep you company when you get there. At worst, he can watch over your things in the restaurant or run errands for you."
Gu Qingqing's next sentence was obviously directed to Daxin, and at the same time she looked at Daxin and asked, "Are you willing?"
When Li Xin heard that he was asked to follow and help, he almost nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Aunt, I can help you." Li Xin seemed to be afraid that Wen Wuyan would not agree after he said that, so he walked over to him and said, "Uncle, take me with you. I can run fast and I won't get lost."
What Li Xin said was not wrong. He used to roam around the town all day, so even if he was really lost, he would be able to protect himself.
Wen Wuyan looked at Li Xin who was eager to prove himself, raised his hand and put it on his shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me. We'll go over and take a look tomorrow."
The matter of going to the county town was quickly agreed upon. The next morning, Gu Qingqing gave Wen Wuyan three taels of silver to carry with him, and in case it was inconvenient to use it, she also put a hundred copper coins in his bamboo basket.
"No need to bring so much silver!"
"The copper coins can be used for pocket money, to hire a carriage in town, and for meals. The silver can be used for major expenses in the county."
Wen Wuyan then took the money that Gu Qingqing handed over and pulled her hand, "We definitely can't make it back today. You stay home with the children tonight and close the door early. I can come back tomorrow."
Gu Qingqing thought he was worried about her being scared, so she smiled and said, "What can happen to me at home? Besides, isn't there Dahei at home? He has been drinking broth and bones for half a month. I think he has too much energy now, so he has to go to the mountains to run wild every day."
Yes, Gu Qingqing kept her promise. From the second day of the Chinese New Year to today, the twentieth day of the lunar year, whenever the family had something meaty, she would give half a spoonful to Dahei.
Especially those ribs and large bones, smash them, add some water and boil them, then feed Dahei to rice or soak them in hard steamed buns.
Of course, Dahei did not go up the mountain in vain these days. He caught a wild rabbit and a pheasant a few days ago, but they were both bitten to death by it, so he could not keep them at home.
Wen Wuyan felt relieved after hearing what Gu Qingqing said. After all, although Dahei looked a little thin, he was a good hunting dog and could easily guard the house.
After sending Wen Wuyan away, Gu Qingqing had nothing to do at home, so she took her child to do needlework in the east wing.
She really doesn't know how to sew, otherwise she wouldn't have given her family's clothes to the villagers last year. If she doesn't know how, she has to learn. She can't let the villagers make clothes for her this year, right?
At this time, she took the other piece of cloth for the purse with big flowers and sat on the edge of the kang, working on it seriously.
hiss~
She hadn't been poked in the hand before she got a few injections. She hissed in pain, and when she saw a small red spot on her hand, she quickly put her finger to her mouth.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Dahua, who was also making purses nearby, saw her mother's movements and knew that she had been pricked again.
"Mom, did you prick your hand again? Let me blow it for you." Erhua didn't care at all whether her mother would be embarrassed if she said that.
She came over with a pouty mouth and was about to help Gu Qingqing blow it.
Gu Qingqing waved her hands at the two sisters with some embarrassment, "It's okay, it's okay, it was just a small rub this time, you guys go about your business."
Seeing the two children's worry, she swept her tongue over her finger and then pulled it out of her mouth to show them, "You see, it's fine."
Dahua was relieved to see that her mother was fine.
Then her eyes swept over the cloth in her mother's hand. Looking at the crooked stitches her mother embroidered, she felt a little worried and didn't know if she could embroider it back.
But he said, "Mom, why don't you take a rest? I'll do this. Or maybe Mom can go visit Aunt Meihua? Didn't you say earlier that you were going to plant something in the fields in the spring?"
On the other side, Erhua pulled Gu Qingqing's hand and looked at it, "Mom, you really are not bleeding, but your hands are all saliva, let me wipe it for you."
Seeing that she was being disdained, Gu Qingqing just smiled awkwardly, then looked around to save face and said, "Well, then you and your sister stay at home, I'll go visit and see if your Aunt Meihua has any extra vegetable seeds. I'll go and get some."
"Okay, go ahead, mom." The eight-year-old Dahua nodded like a little adult.
However, just after Gu Qingqing walked out of the door and took two steps, she saw a big black dog running back from the hillside where her home was.
Especially after seeing me, I immediately felt very proud and raised my head high, like a dog running like a pony.
The distance was quite far, so Gu Qingqing couldn't see clearly what was in Dahei's mouth, but she was sure that there was something in Dahei's mouth.
Gu Qingqing was happy. She formed her hands into a telescope and looked at Dahei.
Well! After all, it's not a real telescope, so I still can't see clearly.
"Dahei, you are really good. Now the creatures on the mountain are as scared as if they have seen the King of Hell when they see you. What did you catch today?"
As Gu Qingqing's voice reached Dahei's ears, Dahei finally let go and started running, and the dog ran even more proudly.
"Hey, it's drooping? What is Dahei doing with a branch in his mouth?"
Gu Qingqing muttered to herself as the distance got closer.
"Hmm? Not really. Ha, could it be that the dog dug up some herbs?"
Waiting anxiously.
"Dahei, run faster!" Gu Qingqing urged.
Dahei came closer, and then Gu Qingqing frowned, "Dahei, you brought back a broken rope...Ahhh! Dahei, get out of here."
After Gu Qingqing yelled, goose bumps instantly covered her body, and even her head was buzzing.
