Chapter 47 Does Your Mother Know?
Chapter 47 Does Your Mother Know?

He pursed his lips and reluctantly followed, she didn't dare to really go back, Lu could tear her apart.My back hurts, and I don't know when I can go back to rest. I am exhausted. After picking it for so long, I don't know if I can really sell it for money. The whole family is struggling with it.

Papa Gu has already noticed that when He is working, he looks non-stop, but in fact he is lazy and doesn't pick much. This second child's family is really making people look down on him more and more.The thoughts in my heart passed by, but my feet didn't stop.

Gu Chengyu heard Father Gu's approaching footsteps and knew they were coming. "Father, here, look, I can't even take it away."

Father Gu heard that Gu Chengyu's voice was normal, so he calmed down a bit, "You little brat, didn't you tell you not to run around! I don't know that there are many wild animals in this mountain? Are you going to be anxious to death?"

Pushing aside the grass, seeing Gu Chengyu standing there intact, he was completely relieved.

Gu Chengyu raised the rabbit in his hand, "Father, look, what is this?"

Father Gu focused his attention and took a closer look, "Rabbit?"

When He Shi who was following behind heard this, he rushed up, "Where is it? Where is the rabbit?" Fang Shi who was blocking in front was pushed away by his fat body.

"Oh! What a rabbit! His uncle can catch rabbits? Let me tell you! He is such a smart man, what can he do? Isn't he? He can even catch rabbits, come on, come on, come on! Take it, baby, uncle, you've worked hard!" Shih looked at the rabbit in Gu Chengyu's hand and smiled, so that the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were piled up together, don't ask Gu Chengyu why he looked so carefully, there is no way, although God It's dark, but he has night vision!And he has sharp eyesight.

He rubbed her hands, and was about to come forward to carry it, but Gu Chengyu didn't refuse, anyway, she couldn't have eaten it raw on the way, and the rabbit weighed five or six catties, so it was tiring to carry it. "Father, look, there is still a litter of little rabbits here! Let's take them home and raise them! I will feed him grass every day."

Papa Gu was also very happy with this unexpected harvest, especially when he saw the seven little rabbits in the rabbit nest, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.Those hunters like to hunt rabbits. Rabbit meat can be sold to shops in the town that collect game, and the fur on the rabbits can also be sold to grocery stores. The purer the fur, the higher the price. All charged.Rabbits can be bred frequently, and selling only rabbits will be an income at that time.

Father Gu smiled and patted Gu Chengyu's head, then said worriedly: "Xiaobao found this rabbit, and I will feed it to you in the future! However, next time something like this happens, don't run around. There are a lot of beasts, insects and snakes in the mountains, if you encounter them, it will be extremely dangerous."

"Father, I only chased this rabbit when I saw it. I won't dare again in the future. Don't tell mother. If mother finds out, she won't let it come out again." Gu Chengyu took Father Gu's hand and begged road.

"Now that you know, if you don't obey me in the future, your mother will lock you up in the house, and you won't be able to go anywhere."

"Hey, mother, why is there still blood here?" Mrs. He took the rabbit, just happy, without thinking too much, who would want to touch the blood with one hand.

"Little Treasure, how did you catch this rabbit?" Father Gu was so anxious just now that he forgot to ask.

"I was sitting by the side playing just now, and saw that rabbit hit a rock. When I went to see it, it passed out. I was afraid that it would wake up and run away, so I stoned it to death." Gu Chengyu looked up. With an innocent little face, he blinked his peach blossom eyes and looked at Papa Gu.

Papa Gu glanced at the bleeding rabbit's head in He's hand, then at his son's cute face, with innocent eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Son! You are so cruel, does your old lady know?

He looked in Gu Chengyu's direction, and found that the little baby was really cute with her white and tender face upturned and the corners of her mouth curved.Looking down at the bloody rabbit in his hand, he couldn't help but shudder.

Old man Gu pulled some tall weeds and twisted them into strands of rope. With his fingers running quickly, he weaved these slender ropes into a simple straw curtain.Gu Chengyu watched intently, the farmers knew how to weave straw curtains, and even made bamboo weaving household items, so there were many people selling bamboo weaving in the market, but they couldn't afford the price, and they were all bought by people in the town.When making dried vegetables at home, the flat dustpan is not enough, so I use a bamboo curtain to cover it without edging, which is too troublesome.

"Okay, put all the rabbits away 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 Fang They still went back to pick flowers.

Back at Honeysuckle, put the rabbit beside 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 beasts on the mountain smelled blood, they would come looking for the smell. Not good.After a while, Gu Chengli and the others came and brought Daya and the others. Now it was time for every family to eat dinner, even if some people finished eating, they were ready to rest, and few people in the village wandered outside.

Father Gu was still a little worried, "Boss, no one will see you when you go back, right?"

"Everyone should see it, right?" When Gu Chengli was walking on the road, he just kept his head buried, afraid of being seen, almost trotting, and didn't pay attention to his surroundings.

"Father, 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, we wouldn't know it if we didn't go up and look it up." Gu Chengyi saw that the eldest brother was unreliable. I can only go back for him.

"Huh? Dad caught this rabbit?" Gu Chengyi was a little puzzled when he saw a few little rabbits lying on the ground next to him.In Xialing Village, there are hunters who often go up the mountain, but they can hunt rabbits, but his father still has this ability?
"Go back and tell me, hurry up and pick it up! Don't waste time." Father Gu was still worried about the dead rabbit, and wanted to finish picking it up quickly, so he hurried back.There are more people, and the picking is fast, and it was completed before Xushi.

Gu Chengyu followed them back to Gu's house like a thief, Lu Shi was already waiting at home.

"Come in, why is it so late? Have you picked them all? Ah! Where did you get the rabbit?" Mrs. Lu asked in surprise when she saw the rabbit in Gu's hand.

"This rabbit is thanks to Xiaobao! The one in the hands of the second child is dead, but it is very fat. I will burn it tomorrow. I am exhausted due to the busy farming season. I will not sell this rabbit meat, everyone. Mend it well. Quickly bring the mat and pour out all these flowers. When the sun will shine tomorrow, let’s dry it out. I guess it will last for several days.” Father Gu was afraid that so many flowers would be crushed in the basket. broken.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rabbit in the hand of Mrs. He who was walking behind was snatched by Mrs. Lu.

"What a pity to eat it? Why don't you sell it for money!" Mrs. Lu looked at the snow-white rabbit fur, feeling a bit reluctant. The rabbit is fat, at least five or six catties, and the rabbit's skin and meat are fifteen cents per catty. , If you sell it separately, you can sell it for a few more pennies.

"Okay, one rabbit can't be sold for any money, and here are seven little rabbits! Didn't there be two chicken coops left before? Lock them in." Gu Lao knew that Lu was reluctant to eat, but The family hasn't seen meat for more than a month, even he is greedy.During the busy season, there were only a few extra eggs, and there was no oil to eat, and the iron body couldn't bear it.

When everything was done, I sent everyone back to sleep.

Gu Wan went to the mountain to pick honeysuckle, but Gu Wan didn't go.Gu Wan was pampered at home, and never went to work in the field. Lu Shi was also afraid that she would be exposed to the wind and sun, so she was reluctant to go.She was also afraid that if she went to her in-law's house in the future, she would be disliked by her in-law's if she didn't know how to work, so she decided to tell Gu Wan to learn embroidery.

Gu Chengyu and Lu Shi returned to the main room, Gu Wan had already fallen asleep.
