Chapter 47: You are so cruel, does your mother know?
Mrs. He followed reluctantly with her lips curled up. She didn't dare to go back. Mrs. Lu would have torn her apart. Her back was sore and she didn't know when she could go back to rest. She was so exhausted that she took it off.
After all this time, I still don’t know if I can actually sell it for money, so the whole family is struggling with it.
Father Gu had already noticed that He was not stopping while he was working, but he was actually lazy and didn't pick much. The second son's family really made people look down on him more and more. The thoughts in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He passed by, but his feet never stopped.
Gu Chengyu heard the footsteps of Father Gu and the others getting closer and knew they were coming. "Dad, look here, look, I can't even take it away."
When Dad Gu heard that there was nothing unusual in Gu Chengyu's voice, he calmed down and said, "You little kid, didn't I tell you to stop running around? I don't know how many wild animals there are in this mountain? Are you going to scare me to death?"
After pushing aside the grass, he saw Gu Chengyu standing there intact, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Chengyu raised the rabbit in his hand, "Dad, look, what is this?"
Father Gu concentrated his attention and took a closer look, "Rabbit?"
He, who was following behind, heard this and rushed forward, "Where is it? Where is the rabbit?" With his fat body, he squeezed out of the way of Fang, who was blocking the way.
"Ouch! What a rabbit! His brother-in-law can also catch rabbits? I'm just telling you! His brother-in-law is such a smart man, what can happen to him? Isn't this? He can even catch rabbits, come on, come on, I'll do it
"Here, my uncle, thank you for your hard work!" Mr. He looked at the rabbit in Gu Chengyu's hand and smiled happily, so much that the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were piled together. Don't ask Gu Chengyu why he looked at it so carefully. There was nothing he could do, even though God
It's dark, but he has night vision! And his eyesight is very good.
He rubbed his hands and was about to come forward to carry it. Gu Chengyu didn't refuse. She couldn't eat it raw on the way anyway, and the rabbit weighed five or six pounds, so it was quite tiring to carry it. "Dad, look, here.
There is also a litter of little rabbits! Let’s take them back and raise them! I’ll feed them grass every day.”
Father Gu was also very happy with this unexpected harvest, especially when he saw the seven little rabbits in the rabbit nest. Those hunters like to hunt rabbits, and the rabbit meat can be sold to the town for game meat.
The fur from rabbits can also be sold to grocery stores. The purer the color of the fur, the higher the price. Some grocery stores even accept the skins and meat. Rabbits can give birth frequently, and just selling rabbits will make a fortune.
income.
Dad Gu smiled and touched Gu Chengyu's head, and then said worriedly: "Xiaobao found this rabbit, and it will be yours to feed from now on! However, next time something like this happens, be sure not to run around.
There are many wild beasts, insects, and snakes in the mountains, and if you encounter one, it will be extremely dangerous."
"Dad, I just chased this rabbit after I saw it. I won't dare to do it again. Don't tell mom. If mom finds out, she won't let her come out again." Gu Chengyu held Dad Gu's hand and begged.
road.
"Now that you know it, if you don't obey me in the future, your mother will lock you in the house and you won't be able to go anywhere."
"Hey mother, why is there still blood here?" Mr. He took the rabbit and was just happy without thinking too much. Who would have thought to touch the blood on his hand?
"Xiaobao, how did you catch this rabbit?" Dad Gu was so anxious just now that he forgot to ask.
"I was sitting nearby playing just now and saw the rabbit hit a stone. When I went to see it, it fainted. I was afraid that it would wake up and run away, so I smashed it to death with a stone." Gu Chengyu said.
With an innocent little face and upturned peach blossom eyes, she looked at Dad Gu.
Father Gu glanced at the bleeding rabbit head in He's hand, then looked at his son's cute face, innocent eyes, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Son! Does your mother know that you are so cruel?
Mr. He looked in the direction of Gu Chengyu and found that the little baby had a white and tender face and a curved mouth, which was really cute. He lowered his head and looked at the bleeding rabbit in his hand, and couldn't help but shudder.
Father Gu pulled some tall weeds and twisted them into strands of rope. With his fingers moving quickly, he wove these slender ropes into a simple straw curtain. Gu Chengyu watched attentively as they weaved the straw curtain.
Everyone knows how to make bamboo knitted household items, so there are many people selling bamboo knitted items in the market, but they can’t afford the price, so people in the town buy them. When making dried vegetables at home, a flat dustpan is not enough, so I use a
There is no need to trim the top of the bamboo curtain, it is too troublesome.
"Okay, put away all the rabbits and go pick flowers! Boss and the others are coming back too, and they have to take them home before dark." Father Gu carefully wrapped the rabbits in straw curtains and ordered Mrs. Fang
They still went back to pick flowers.
When I returned to the honeysuckle place, I put the rabbit next to it and tied it with a straw rope to prevent it from slipping away. The dead rabbit was also wrapped layer by layer with leaves. If the wild beasts on the mountain smell the smell of blood, they will come looking for the smell.
Things were not going well. After a while, Gu Chengli and the others came, and brought Da Ya and the others. It was now the time for every household to have dinner. Even some people had finished eating and were preparing to rest. There were few people in the village wandering around.
.
Father Gu was still a little worried, "Boss, no one saw you when you went back, right?"
"Everyone should see it, right?" Gu Chengli just kept his head down while walking on the road. He was afraid of being seen by others. He almost jogged and didn't pay attention to his surroundings.
"Dad, don't worry! No one saw it. When we went back, the villagers were having dinner! Besides, we were covered with weeds. Even if we saw it and didn't dig it up, we wouldn't know it." Gu Chengyi couldn't trust his elder brother when he saw it.
I can only go back for him.
"Huh? Did dad catch this rabbit?" Gu Chengyi was a little confused when he saw a few little rabbits lying on the ground next to him. There were hunters in Xialing Village who often went up the mountain, and they could hunt rabbits, but his dad still had this ability.
"Go back and tell me, hurry up and pick it! Don't waste time." Father Gu was still worried about the dead rabbit. He wanted to finish picking it quickly and go back. There are more people, and the picking is faster. It will be completed before Xu Shi
.
Gu Chengyu followed them back to Gu's house like a thief. Madam Lu was already waiting at home.
"Come in, why is it so late? Have you picked them all? Where did the rabbit come from?" Ms. Lu asked in surprise when she saw the rabbit in Father Gu's hand.
"This rabbit is Xiaobao's credit! The rabbit in my hands is already dead, but it's quite fat. I'll burn it tomorrow. I'm exhausted from the recent busy farming schedule, so I won't sell the rabbit meat. Everyone."
Take good care of it. Get the mat quickly and pour out all these flowers. When the sun comes tomorrow, we will dry them. It will probably take several days." Father Gu was afraid that so many of them would be weighed down in the basket.
broken.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Lu snatched the rabbit from Mr. He who was walking behind.
"It's such a waste to eat it? It's better to sell it for money!" Ms. Lu looked at the snow-white rabbit fur and was a little reluctant to part with it. This rabbit is quite fat, weighing at least five or six kilograms. The rabbit with its skin and meat costs fifteen cents per kilogram.
, if sold separately, they can still be sold for a few more cents.
"Okay, a rabbit can't be sold for much money, and there are still seven little rabbits! Weren't there two chicken coops left before? Put them in." Father Gu knew that Lu was reluctant to eat, but
The family hasn't seen meat for more than a month, and even he is hungry for it. He only has a few extra eggs during the busy farming period, and there is no oil and water to eat, which is too much for his iron-clad body.
After everything was done, I sent everyone back to sleep.
We went to the mountains to pick honeysuckle, but Gu Wan didn't go. Gu Wan was a spoiled child at home and never went to work in the fields. Mrs. Lu was also afraid that she would be exposed to wind and sun, so she was reluctant to go. She was also afraid that she would not be able to do it if she went to her husband's house in the future.
She was disliked by her husband's family, so she decided to be cruel and ask Gu Wan to learn embroidery.
Gu Chengyu and Lu returned to the main room, and Gu Wan had already fallen asleep.
