Chapter 50 Buying Chicken
"In your heart, are I the same as Wang and the others?"
Huo Junan was a little confused, wondering why Chen Wanniang suddenly asked this.
Seeing Huo Junan stunned, Chen Wanniang was even more upset. Over the past so long, Huo Junan's feelings for her have not changed at all.
She turned around and strode into it.
Is she angry?
Huo Junan suddenly became nervous and quickly followed Chen Wanniang.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"fine."
"You're not happy."
"No."
Chen Wanniang came into the room and continued to floss cotton for the quilt, but she didn't say a word with a stern face.
The atmosphere is low and weird.
Huo Junan had no choice but to do things silently, and then peeked at Chen Wanniang from time to time, and became even more nervous when she saw that she was still stern.
Lunch was made by Huo Junan, and after the meal, he contracted to wash the pot and wash dishes.
The dinner was made by Huo Junan again in the evening, and the same pot and dishes were washed.
Chen Wanniang had two meals and drinks for free, and the little dissatisfaction disappeared.
With no debt and light body, Chen Wanniang's pressure was alleviated. Just think about it and prepare to study for the children.
Chen Wanniang slept well that night.
The next morning, she got up early to cook white porridge, steamed buns, and heated two large pork sausages.
Feed the family of four to a full body.
Then all the sickles and arrows were thrown in front of Huo Junan.
"Um?"
"Let's go, go up the mountain to hunt."
"You still want to go?"
"go!"
Huo Junan was nervous for a day because Chen Wanniang was angry yesterday. Thinking about not being able to go against her ideas today, he agreed.
Chen Wanniang was thinking well this time. Huo Junan was responsible for hunting, so she was responsible for cutting herbs. The shopkeeper who went to the medicine shop last time had already given her a list of herbs. She compared the list with the records in the book over and over again.
This time she went up the mountain, she must make more money so that she could give the children a break from studying and studying.
The couple left the house together and went up the mountain together.
With the experience from the last time, Chen Wanniang became much more courageous.
But the north wind whistled and felt a needle-like pain on his face. Huo Junan asked Chen Wanniang to hide behind him, so that he could feel better.
"Why is it suddenly so cold?" Chen Wanniang walked on the mountain road and rubbed her hands straight. When she saw useful herbs, she would come to her sickle from time to time.
"It won't take long to get the winter solstice, and it will definitely get colder and colder." Huo Junan's steps stopped, his voice a little heavy.
"Will it be difficult to fight if it is cold?" Chen Wanniang suddenly realized this problem.
"Yes!" Huo Junan said in a deep voice, "Many wild game will not come out to find food in winter, so winter is the most difficult day for hunters."
"How should hunters survive the winter?"
"You should prepare your winter food before you go through the winter and wait until the spring of the coming year."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Huo Junan frowned slightly, "It was colder this year than last year, and I didn't expect it to be cold so quickly."
His gaze swept over Chen Wanniang and said, "Let's walk forward and take a look."
Thinking that the prey was difficult to catch, Chen Wanniang cut a lot of herbs, and even if she was worthless, she saw it and cut it away.
They walked deeper for a long time, and it turned out to be the same as Huo Junan expected. Not to mention the wild animals, they didn't even see a hare.
There were only birds that flew by chance in the forest. Huo Junan raised his bow and arrow several times but gave up.
It was obvious that Huo Junan's concerns became more serious, and Chen Wanniang comforted him: "It's fine if there is no wild game. It just so happens that they can hide them in winter and raise them all, and we will capture them all in the spring of the next year."
Huo Junan laughed, "Please comfort me."
"Or what else can I do?" Chen Wanniang handed over the sickle, "Cut the herbs with me."
Huo Junan didn't refuse either. He didn't know the herbs, so he would do whatever Chen Wanniang said.
It's about an hour.
Huo Junan suddenly raised his head.
"Late mother."
"Um?"
"We have to go down the mountain."
Chen Wanniang was tightening the herbs in the backpack with force. She glanced at Huo Junan and looked up at his head with him.
I saw a dark cloud on my head, and a dark cloud was moving quickly.
The two of them packed up the herbs on the ground and walked quickly down the mountain.
Sure enough, when I reached the hillside, there were cool raindrops on my body.
It looked rainy at this time, and if you look closely, there were still snowflakes sandwiched.
It actually snowed.
The couple walked faster.
When they returned to the entrance of the village, the ground was already white, with crystal clear trees and roofs.
Many children came out to jump and play in the snow, and Huo Chen pulled Xiaoyue'er out too.
Xiaoyue'er likes snow the most and enjoys the beautiful scenery happily.
Chen Wanniang laughed.
Although the snow scenery is beautiful, it only cut off her wealth.
She could neither cut herbs nor hunt them after the snow.
Chen Wanniang felt a faint melancholy.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. It took a day and a night to stop at noon the next day, and the entire Qingquan Village became quiet.
A day or two later, the villagers became active again, but many people sighed, worried about their livelihoods during the New Year and next year.
Chen Wanniang chatted with them, thinking about the New Year, New Year's goods, the decent return to her parents' home, and the children also had to study. These things combined add to Chen Wanniang's melancholy.
That evening, Chen Wanniang took medicine as usual and dragged it out of the firewood shed outside.
I saw Ma Yulan next door pushing the door and coming in. She was excitedly holding a bowl of fragrant things in her hand.
"Sister Liu, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Haha, your nose is so good. I'll let you smell it from such a long distance. Come and see, I'll bring you a bowl of it right away."
"Sister Liu, you are so polite."
"Why are you polite? Our family is now like a family. If you have my big rooster, you have to have it."
Ma Yulan greeted Huo Chen and his sister to eat meat quickly.
"Where is your dog?"
"I'm so angry, I'm gnawing at the chicken's neck at home. I told him he won't come out."
Huo Chen and his sister were eating deliciously, and Chen Wanniang was also happy, but she was surprised again, "Sister Liu, when did your family kill chickens? Why didn't I hear the news?"
"My house is a big hen, so I can't bear to kill and eat it. I'm a big rooster, I bought it from Fushan Village." Ma Yulan said: "Hey, you don't know yet. There is a rich man's family in Fushan Village that raises chickens from a large chicken coop, but the landlord Laocai was stingy and he was reluctant to build a solid chicken coop. As a result, it was snowing heavily, guess what?"
"The chicken coop collapsed?"
"No, I'm crushing many chickens to death. On weekdays, it's very expensive for anyone to buy chickens. This time, I'm going to sell chickens everywhere after cutting half of the price. When I saw it on my way back to my parents' home, I gritted my teeth and bought two."
Chen Wanniang laughed when she heard this, "Sister Liu, are you still busy today?"
"What are you doing?"
