Chu turned his head forward and saw Qin Huairu catching up with him with red eyes, "Xiao Chu, your forest farm should have anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine, right?"
Chu Qianqian was stunned, remembering that after he was injured by a blind bear before, the forest farm did apply for some wound medicine to be stored just in case.
Even at home, there are still some unfinished anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicines bought by my second uncle and cousin uncle from the commune.
He nodded and asked, "Who in your family has a fever?"
Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment with red eyes, and then said helplessly, "My brother's family has many children, and they have been without food for several days. They all rely on my parents to help.
The day before yesterday, my niece was so hungry that she couldn't bear it, so she went to catch sparrows with a few children. She didn't know what happened, and she got a big cut on her hand, which swelled up last night.
Fortunately, although I have a fever, it is not severe, but it will be hard to tell in a day or two."
Chu Qianqian sighed helplessly, "Let's go. If we hurry up, we should be able to reach the forest farm before dark."
Qin Huairu thanked her hurriedly and took out a pair of walnuts from her pocket as she walked.
"Xiao Chu, my father said that my family has no money to buy medicine, so we can only trade these gadgets with people for medicine. If possible, give me some food."
Chu Qianqian was stunned and immediately realized that exchanging food was the key. Looking at the pair of walnuts, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Wenwan walnut originated in the Han and Sui Dynasties, became popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
On the one hand, this thing is easy to obtain, and on the other hand, the walnut itself has auspicious meanings, so it is easily accepted by the common people.
People around the three capitals are influenced by the city's dignitaries, so naturally there are many people who play tricks on them.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Qianqian staring at the walnuts in his hand.
He hurriedly said, "My father said that these pairs of walnuts are lion heads. Although they are not valuable, they are also extremely rare.
Because he had worked as a carpenter, he got this pair of walnuts from an old farmer in exchange for half of the carpenter's wages."
Chu Xiangqian stretched out his hand to take it and took a closer look. He saw that the pair of walnuts were shining red, and he knew that the pair of walnuts must have been hanging for many years.
By visual inspection, the side width is at least 4.7 cm, or even 5 cm, which is indeed very rare.
It's a bit awkward to play with this thing by yourself.
But if you keep it for a few decades, you might be able to get a villa in exchange.
And even now, it is easy to exchange three to five yuan.
If you meet someone you like, they will pay ten or eight yuan.
If the old connections of Gong Changqing who entrusted the shop were met, that is, the old people from the previous dynasty, when it was not difficult a year or two earlier, ten or twenty yuan would be no problem.
But in the hands of Qin Huairu or his father, it is only three to five yuan.
Many treasures are indeed valuable, but who to sell them to is a big problem.
With current transportation and information, most people around the capital may never have entered the capital in their lives.
Let alone finding a suitable buyer.
Chu Qiang reached out to take it and said, "Has your father ever told you how much this lion head is worth?"
Qin Huairu nodded hurriedly, "He said that in previous years, someone wanted to trade 10 pounds of white flour with him."
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he felt happy.
10 pounds of white flour from one or two years ago costs 3 yuan at most.
But now, it costs eight or nine yuan.
"Okay, I won't take advantage of your family. It's just 10 pounds of white flour. And tell your dad if he can find such a gadget in the future.
I'll trade him food for it. Even if you want meat, that's fine."
Qin Huairu was overjoyed, even though his father said that someone wanted to exchange 10 liters of white flour for him, but when he didn't exchange it, his tone was a bit proud.
But Qin Huairu knew that her father actually regretted it.
But now, let alone 10 kilograms, people would not be willing to give out even 5 kilograms.
Of course Chu Xiangqian also understands this truth, but if she doesn’t give her any benefits, why should Qin Huairu’s father take this matter to heart?
Besides, you have to give him some price difference, otherwise only a fool would do it if he gets a thank you for his hard work.
The two of them waited until it was completely dark before arriving at the forest farm.
How could Chu Xiangqian be willing to take Qin Huairu to find people in the forest farm without gossiping? After his second uncle Chu He and his cousin Chu Jiang knew about it, they would definitely come to nag him.
He took Qin Huairu on a detour and returned to his home on the hillside.
After finding anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs, he gave them to Qin Huairu and asked, "It's already dark. Are you going back overnight, or are you staying here one night and leaving tomorrow morning?"
Qin Huairu naturally wanted to go back overnight, but before chasing Chu Xiangqiang, she did not dare to tell her parents that she was chasing Chu Xiangqiang.
Instead, I said I had to catch the last bus back to the city to buy medicine.
Not only is it difficult to go back now, the time is not right, but it is also difficult to explain to my family.
Moreover, walking in the mountains at night, even in the snow, is a joke with your own life.
Qin Huairu almost froze to death today.
The little courage I had in my heart suddenly retreated after thinking about what happened during the day.
Fortunately, although my niece has a fever, it is not severe.
But if you don’t handle it well and drag it on, people will be gone.
And along the way, Qin Huairu had not thought that since many people in the village had run out of food, if they didn't find a way, the family might have to starve to death a girl or an old man.
And hope naturally lies in Chu Xiangqian.
Judging from the fact that he agreed without hesitation to exchange 10 pounds of white flour for a pair of walnuts, he is not short of food.
He gritted his teeth, stopped talking at all, and silently began to clean up the house.
Chu Qianqian knew her choice as soon as she looked forward.
What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that Qin Huairu agreed in her heart, but said, "Xiao Chu, I have a very pretty cousin. How about I introduce her to you?"
Chu Xiangqian knew it was Qin Jingru as soon as he heard it. Just counting the time, Qin Jingru should be only half a girl at this time.
It will be at least several years before marriage.
And speaking of it, in front of the twenty-four or five-year-old Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru was beaten by the young Qin Huairu when she was at her most beautiful.
Chu Xiangqian naturally had no such intention.
"Sister Qin, how old is your girl now?"
Qin Huairu couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Chu looked forward and before she could speak, "I think it's better to forget it. Judging from what you mean, your cousin should still be a half-grown child.
If you ask me to wait a few years before eating meat, I might as well find a beautiful city girl."
These words hit Qin Huairu in the lungs. Because he did not have a permanent residence in the city, he not only had to go hungry, but his parents' family was in trouble, and they didn't even bother to notify him.
This makes Qin Huairu want a job in the city more and more.
After a while, Qin Huairu said, "Xiao Chu, did you lie to me about the apprenticeship?"
Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "You should know how severe the food shortage is now. As long as I can get wild boars, wild deer, pheasants and hares from the mountains.
Is it not easy to find an apprenticeship, temporary worker or something like that with some units?"
Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel relieved.
Seeing that the house was almost tidied up, he muttered, "I'll just make a floor bunk tonight."
Chu Qianqian didn't care about this, reached out and grabbed Qin Huairu's hand, and pulled the pretty daughter-in-law into his arms.
This time it was like thunder from the sky and fire from the earth.
An hour later, the paper on the window of the hut was faintly filled with moisture.
Suddenly a pretty face was pressed against the window, with an expression as if he was sick.
It’s both confusing and painful.
Fortunately, everything calmed down after ten minutes.
At night, Chu Qianqian hugged Qin Huairu, whose body seemed to be falling apart, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? I remember there is some dried meat at home."
Qin Huairu suddenly gained strength.
I secretly thought that after being tortured by this kid for so long, I should eat some dried meat from him.
For Chu Xiangqian, now that he has taken advantage of it, he must benefit others.
Otherwise, you have to talk about feelings.
Talking about feelings is really not as good as talking about interests.
As for why Qin Huairu was scolded by countless people, it was simply because she didn’t give birth to Silly Zhu’s child.
Now that Qin Huairu has been taken over by him, he doesn't need her to give birth to a child for him.
The most important thing is that this woman was indeed very moist when she was in her twenties.
