Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 79

Chu turned his head to look forward, and saw Qin Huairu catching up to him with red eyes, "Xiao Chu, your forest farm should have anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine?"

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback, remembering that after he was injured by Xiong Xiazi before, the forestry farm did apply for some wound medicines just in case.

Even in my own home, there are still some anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-fever drugs that my second uncle and Tang clan uncle bought from the commune.

She nodded and asked, "Who in your natal family has a fever?"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment with red eyes, and then said helplessly, "My brother's family has a lot of children, and they have been out of food for several days, all thanks to my parents' help.

The day before yesterday, my niece was so hungry that she couldn't bear it. She went to catch sparrows with a few children. She didn't know what happened. She got a big cut on her hand, and it was swollen last night.

Fortunately, although I have a fever, it is not bad, but it will be difficult to say in a day or two. "

Chu Xiangqian sighed helplessly, "Let's go, if you hurry up, you should be able to reach the forest farm before dark."

Qin Huairu hurriedly thanked him, walked and took out a pair of walnuts from his pocket.

"Xiao Chu, my father said that the family has no money to buy medicine, so we can only exchange this pair of gadgets for medicine. If possible, give me some food."

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that exchanging food was the key point.Looking at the pair of walnuts, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Wenwan walnuts originated in the Han and Sui Dynasties, became popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and prevailed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

One of these things is easy to get, and the other is that walnuts themselves have auspicious meanings and are easily accepted by the common people.

Three people around the capital are influenced by the dignitaries in the city, so there are naturally many people playing around.

Seeing Chu looking forward to the walnut in his hand, Qin Huairu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly said, "My father said, this pair of walnuts are lion's heads, although they are not worth much, they are extremely rare.

It was also because he had worked as a carpenter that he bought this pair of walnuts from an old farmer in the name of offsetting half of the carpenter's wages. "

Chu Xiangqian reached out to take it and took a closer look. He saw the pair of walnuts glowing red, and knew that the pair of walnuts must have been traded for many years.

Visually, the side width is at least 4.7 cm, or even 5 cm, which is indeed very rare.

It's a bit annoying to play with this thing by myself.

But if you keep it for decades, maybe you can get a villa in exchange.

And even now, it's easy to change three or five yuan.

If you meet someone you like, ten or eight yuan will be willing to pay.

If Gong Changqing, who entrusted the store, had those old relationships, that is, the old people from the previous dynasty met, when it was not difficult a year or two ago, 20 yuan would be no problem.

But in the hands of Qin Huairu, or his father, it is only three or five yuan.

Many treasures are indeed valuable, but who to sell to is a big problem.

With the current traffic and information, most of the people around the capital may never have been in the capital in their entire lives.

Let alone finding the right buyer.

Chu Xiangqian took it and said, "Did your father tell you how much the lion's head is worth?"

Qin Huairu nodded hurriedly, "He said that in previous years, someone wanted to exchange 10 catties of white flour with him."

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he was immediately happy.

10 catties of white noodles a year or two ago cost at most 3 yuan.

But now, it costs eight or nine yuan.

"Okay, I won't take advantage of your family, just 10 catties of white flour. And tell your father, if you can find this kind of gadget in the future.

I exchanged him with food.Even if you want meat. "

Qin Huairu was overjoyed, don't look at what his father said, someone wanted to exchange 10 for white noodles with him, but when he didn't, his tone was a little smug.

But Qin Huairu knew that her father actually regretted it in his heart.

It's just that now, let alone 10 catties, people don't want to sell 5 catties.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian also understands this truth, but if he doesn't give him any benefits, why should Qin Huairu's father take this matter to heart?

Besides, you have to give him the price difference, otherwise he will earn a thank you for his hard work, and he will do it like a fool.

The two of them arrived at the forest farm until it was completely dark.

How could Chu Xiangqian take Qin Huairu to the people in the forestry farm? If he didn't gossip, his second uncle Chuhe and Tang clan's uncle Chujiang would definitely come to nagging him after they found out.

Taking Qin Huairu around for a while, he returned to his home on the hillside.

Find out the anti-inflammatory medicine and anti-fever medicine, give it to Qin Huairu and ask, "It's getting dark, are you going back overnight, or just make do with me overnight and leave tomorrow morning?"

Qin Huairu naturally wanted to go back overnight, but before chasing Chu Xiangqian, he didn't dare to tell his parents and elder brother that he was chasing Chu Xiangqian.

It's about catching the last bus back to the city to buy medicine.

Not only is the time wrong when I go back now, but it is also difficult to explain to my family.

And if you walk in the mountains at night, it's still a snowy night, you're making fun of your own life.

Qin Huairu came here today and almost froze to death.

With that little courage in my heart, after thinking about the situation during the day, I immediately retreated.

Fortunately, although my niece had a fever, the fever was not severe.

But if it is not handled well, and if it is dragged on, the person will be gone.

And along the way, Qin Huairu hadn't thought about it. Since many people in the village had run out of food, if they didn't think about it, the family might starve to death of a girl or an old man.

And hope naturally lies in Chu Xiangqian.

Seeing that he did not hesitate to agree to exchange 10 catties of white flour for a pair of walnuts, he is not short of food.

Gritting his teeth, he didn't speak at all, and silently started to tidy up the house.

Chu looked forward and knew her choice.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that Qin Huairu agreed in his heart, but said, "Xiao Chu, my sister has a cousin who is very beautiful, how about I introduce her to you?"

Chu Xiangqian knew it was Qin Jingru as soon as he heard it, but just counting the time, Qin Jingru should be only half a girl at this time.

At least a few years away from marriage.

And to be honest, in front of the 24-year-old Qin Huairu, when Qin Jingru was the most handsome, she was also beaten by the young Qin Huairu.

Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't have such thoughts.

"Sister Qin, how old is your sister now?"

Qin Huairu couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

Chu looked forward, 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.

Make me wait a few years before eating meat, I might as well find a nice city girl. "

This remark hit Qin Huairu's lungs, because she didn't have a registered permanent residence in the city, not only would she have to starve, but her mother's family encountered difficulties, and she didn't even have the intention to inform herself.

This made Qin Huairu want a job in the city even more.

After a while, Qin Huairu said, "Xiao Chu, you didn't lie to your sister and me about the apprenticeship?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, "You should know what the shortage of food is now. As long as I can get wild boars, wild deer, pheasants and hares from the mountains.

Is it not easy to exchange apprentices, temporary workers, etc. with some units? "

Qin Huairu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the house was almost tidied up, he muttered, "I'll just make a bed on the floor at night."

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about these things, stretched out his hand to grab Qin Huairu's hand, and pulled the pretty daughter-in-law into his arms.

This is considered a thunderbolt.

After an hour, everything was calm.

At night, Chu Qiang put his arms around Qin Huairu whose body seemed to be falling apart, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? I remember there is still some dried meat at home."

Qin Huairu suddenly gained strength.

The secret path has been tossed by this kid for so long, it is right to eat some jerky from him.

But for Chu Xiangqian, since he got started, he had to give others benefits.

Otherwise, you have to talk about feelings.

And 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 Sha Zhu.

Now that Qin Huairu has been taken care of by him, there is no need for her to bear children for him.

The most important thing is that this woman was really moist when she was in her twenties.
