Chapter 289 The Importance of Dahei
Gu Qingqing waved at him to show that she understood.
It's so petty. I just want it to follow me for a run. What is it thinking about?
Gu Qingqing had no choice but to go up the hill alone.
Fortunately, the cabin was not far from her home and could be reached in about ten minutes on foot.
When Gu Qingqing arrived, Yang Xing's family of four were having dinner. When they saw her coming from a distance, they hurriedly called out, "It's almost dark, why are you here?"
Gu Qingqing jogged down the slope, and after she steadied herself she said, "I haven't come to see you guys for a few days, so I took some time out today to come and see you. You guys have already started eating, and I said I brought some steamed buns for lunch."
Gu Qingqing said as she handed her the cloth bag.
Zhao Feng stood up and said, "The boss is here."
"Hello, Brother Feng."
"Aunt." Zhao Danju and Zhao Lulin also called out politely.
Gu Qingqing waved at them as a response to their brothers' greetings.
"You said you came to take a look, so why did you bring buns with you?" Yang Xing said as he took it.
"It's stuffed with shepherd's purse. We've been eating Zhengshuiling these days, so I'll give you a taste of something new. I just saw Dahei running back, so you won't have to worry about him tonight." Gu Qingqing said.
"These days the chickens and ducks come back by themselves after dark. I noticed that Dahei looks listless these days, so I asked Danju to send him back today. Come on, while there is still a ray of light, I'll take you to see the chickens and ducks." Yang Xing said as she handed the cloth bag in her hand to Zhao Feng, and she was about to take Gu Qingqing to see the chickens and ducks.
Gu Qingqing stopped her and said, "Eat your meal, it will get cold soon. They are right over here, I can just go over and take a look myself."
"Don't be in a hurry, Gang Shengshang. It's a good opportunity for me to introduce him to you." Yang Xing finally insisted on following her.
Although it was not very bright, Gu Qingqing could still see that the chicks and ducks had grown several times bigger. When they first arrived, they were just small balls of fluff, but now they have completely shed the feeling of being fluff balls.
"We took good care of them at home, and now after letting them free here, not a single one was killed or injured." Yang Xing was very pleased as she looked at the bamboo shed that was divided into two, with chickens huddled together on one side and ducklings huddled together on the other.
"This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't taken care of them from dawn to dusk, how could they live so well? Can they find food on the hillside by themselves now?" Gu Qingqing asked.
"It's OK, but the range is not too large now, so just leave them in this area. Big Black is really well-behaved on weekdays. Keep a close eye on these little things. If anyone runs far away, it will definitely roar at them. It saves me a lot of effort."
"You should train those geese so that you can have less worries in the future."
"No."
Gu Qingqing didn't dare to stay here for long, as she would have to go back in the dark.
As a result, the next morning, Yang Xing was holding a chicken that looked lifeless, and her expression was somewhat disappointed. "A chicken is dead."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"Last night, there really was a weasel. Zhao Feng and I heard some noises and when we got up to check, we saw the creature dragging a chicken and trying to run away. Zhao Feng hit it with a torch, and the weasel ran away, but the chicken died."
When Gu Qingqing found out what happened, she smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, it's normal for a chicken to die. Take the chicken back and eat it yourself. When Daxin comes back, I'll ask him to send Dahei over."
"You said that the two of us adults are not as useful as Dahei. We are so ashamed to come and see you." Yang Xing regretted.
"This is not normal. If we can do what dogs do, wouldn't that mean we are stealing their jobs and not giving them a way out? It's just a chicken, take it back."
However, Yang Xing said that she raised the chickens and refused to take the chicken seeds away.
Gu Qingqing felt that it was a hassle to deal with this. There was not much meat left after plucking the hair, and it was not satisfying no matter how she ate it, and it was troublesome.
......
Several days passed.
The spring plowing in the fields has come to an end, and the next step is to hoe the fields and weed.
The bamboo transplanting on the hillside covers about eight acres. This year she cannot rely on her own bamboo, but next year she will be self-sufficient.
There are also about five acres of mulberry trees planted, with about five hundred trees.
Among them, there are about one hundred saplings, and the rest are propagated by cuttings.
Gu Qingqing told Zhao Dong and the others the method, but she herself didn't know the survival rate.
During this period, Wang Jie and his wife came to her house often, firstly to talk about the progress of the trip to Qianjiazhuang, and secondly to ask her what to do next.
Therefore, people's potential is forced out. At the beginning, she said that if she traveled to the harem, she would definitely not live until the night. Now she racked her brains to help the Wang family come up with strategies to gain the upper hand.
The good news is that Wang Chunxiang and Qian Zhaodi have now severed their ties with Qianjiazhuang.
The bad news is that I didn't get a divorce letter, only a divorce letter.
The other party, with the intention of humiliating them, made it clear to the Wang family, "Divorce is fine, but Qian Zhaodi can stay. After all, she is also a child of the Qian family."
Before the Wang family could even start a fight, the other party said, "Or just take the divorce letter obediently."
Wang Chunxiang naturally couldn't bear to see herself escape from the impasse while leaving her daughter to suffer in the Qian family.
"Okay, I want a divorce." She chose.
A difference of one word makes a difference of a thousand miles.
The divorce letter ruined her reputation, and she couldn't even get back the two boxes and two quilts she brought with her when she married into Qianjiazhuang.
The quilt has been used for several years and is no longer in good condition.
The boxes and cages were made of elm wood, which was a pity.
In order to thank her for her advice, Wang Jie's mother brought Wang Chunxiang with more than twenty eggs and a big pumpkin.
......
Gu Qingqing drove her donkey to the town early in the morning and brought back half a basket of fresh bamboo shoots, as well as a basket of wild shepherd's purse that she had dug in the morning.
She first went to the Shen Mansion for a walk, and learned from Jiang Qingxue that her younger sister's wrist was recovering well, so she felt relieved.
When leaving, Gu Qingqing saw Butler Shen and asked, "Has Chen An sent any letters recently?"
"It should be soon. According to past experience, the letter should arrive by the end of this month." Manager Shen said happily.
"The Shen family will have to send something over there. Please let me know when the time comes. I will make some long-lasting food for Chen An to take over."
"Don't worry, Madam Wen. The young master has a letter back. He must have something to tell you specifically."
Gu Qingqing smiled and thought, this is the gift.
After leaving Shen's house, Gu Qingqing drove the donkey to buy rice, noodles, cloth, meat, and porcelain bottles. The bucket at the back of the cart was filled with a pair and a half of pig offal.
Walk back slowly.
"Mom, can we go with you to grandma's house to visit cousin Gu Qi tomorrow?" Erhua sat on the donkey cart with Sanhua in her arms.
Gu Qingqing was reluctant to let the little donkey work, and was also reluctant to get on the car, so she followed on foot.
"do you want to go?"
"I haven't seen my cousin Gu Qi for a long time." Erhua said seriously with a gleam in her eyes.
"Okay." Gu Qingqing agreed readily.
Erhua didn't expect her mother to agree so quickly. She covered her little mouth and laughed in the car.
Afterwards, after hearing what her mother said, she couldn't be happy.
"Grandpa Yang said that you will start going to school, so tomorrow is your last free day." A school notice from Gu Qingqing instantly changed the little girl's upturned mouth corners to a downturned one.
