Chapter 102 2 Flowers are pecked

Gu Qingqing woke up again and stretched lazily, "Ah, it's still better here. I don't have to be urged to get up anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dahua seemed to have heard something and pushed the door open, "Mom, you're awake!"

Gu Qingqing then looked up and said, "Dahua, why are you up so early?"

As Gu Qingqing spoke, she sat up, but saw that Erhua was not in the room either.

"I woke up and got up. Mom, I see there's still some dumpling soup in the pot. It's not so hot anymore. I'll go heat it up!"

"Well, go ahead. Where's Erhua?" Gu Qingqing asked.

Dahua turned her head and looked outside the house. "He's playing with Dahei."

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen.

Two pancakes were left over from the morning. Dahua and Erhua shared one, and Gu Qingqing ate one herself.

"Dahua, I'm going to go to the mountain to pick up some firewood and see if there are any wild vegetables. You stay at home and look after Erhua and Sanhua."

"Mom, how about I go with you?" Dahua said.

Gu Qingqing shook her head, "No, I can do it alone quickly. Besides, didn't you tell the friends in the village yesterday about our collection of wood ash? I'll leave some money for you later. If they deliver it to you later, you can give them the money. I'm worried about Erhua being at home."

"Can mother be back before noon?"

"Sure, I'll make some dough later so I can make dumplings this afternoon!"

"Then go ahead, mom. I will definitely take good care of the home!" Dahua seemed to have received a military order.

After dinner, Dahua went to wash the dishes while Gu Qingqing used the old dough to make the noodles. Then, she took out thirty coins and put them on the table and told Dahua, "Dahua, I've put the money on the table. Keep it for yourself. If anyone brings wood ash, you can exchange it for them."

Dahua's voice came from the kitchen, "I know, mother."

"Then I'll go out." After saying this, Gu Qingqing took her special backpack, took her machete, pulled the cart and went out.

The reason why it is called a special backpack is because Wen Wuyan later made another one, which is one size larger than the one she was using.

Looking at it again now, the one she often uses seems like it was made specifically for her by Wen Wuyan.

The only drawback is that it was stepped on by a wild boar.

Gu Qingqing arrived at the foot of the mountain, parked the car, and started walking along the same path she took last time to pick wood ear mushrooms, carrying a bamboo basket on her back.

She planned to go back and see if there were any ears left at the place where she picked them last time.

If there are any, pick them and dry them, and eat them in winter.

She was lucky. When she arrived at the place, the wood ears on the tree trunks were big and plump. She quickly picked half a bamboo basketful of them.

The reason why she was so quick was because the wild boar was found here last time. Wild boars are good, but she doesn't want to meet them again.

As a result, she had just left for a short distance when she suddenly heard some movement coming from the bushes not far away.

Gu Qingqing was so frightened that she shuddered on the spot. She quickly slowed down her footsteps, turned around and hid behind the nearest tree. At the same time, she held her breath, her eyes fixed on the bushes, and she complained wildly in her heart.

"No way, no way! I won't run into a wild boar again, will it? It's so mysterious."

Almost as soon as Gu Qingqing finished complaining, a large, colorfully-looking rooster sneaked out from the bushes, even looking around.

Maybe his eyesight was poor and he didn’t see Gu Qingqing.

Similarly, after Gu Qingqing saw clearly what it was, she was overjoyed. Looking at its sneaky appearance, there must be something fishy in the bushes after all.

After it walked away, Gu Qingqing put down the bamboo basket, held the machete in his hand, and walked towards the bushes alone.

But before she could get close, a threatening cackling sound came from the bushes.

Gu Qingqing lay down following the sound and vaguely saw a gray hen in the bushes, nestled in a circle of straw.

giggle!

giggle!

"What the hell are you yelling about!" Gu Qingqing roughly pushed aside the bushes, leaned down, and quickly grabbed the hen's neck.

"I wonder if you are running away because you are sitting on eggs? Other chickens sit on eggs in spring, but you are so brave that you dare to sit on eggs in winter. I'm going to kill you for just three eggs, and if you don't run away, you're really waiting for me to catch you!" Gu Qingqing happily lifted the hen's neck, and saw that there were only three eggs in the nest. She cursed at it and rolled her eyes weakly.

The chicken belongs to her, and the eggs belong to her too.

After she put the chickens and fungus in the car, she started collecting firewood.

When we come across small trees trying to survive in the cracks, we cut them down by the roots and drag them down the mountain. As for the rest, we pick up whatever we can.

Thinking about the noodles distributed by her family, she went back after picking up most of the noodles on the truck.

From a distance, she saw Sanlang wandering at the entrance of the village with a basket. When he saw her, he immediately ran towards the village.

When Gu Qingqing was walking on the path home, she met a few children coming out of their homes. The children didn't know what they were thinking. They thought Dahua was doing something very stupid. She actually bought wood ash that no one wanted for only a penny. She must be stupid.

So when they saw Gu Qingqing, they avoided her and didn't dare to say hello to her at all. They were like frightened birds, flapping their wings and running away.

Gu Qingqing smiled and shook her head.

"Mom, you're back. Eight people just brought in wood ash. I checked. Their baskets are full. They are all in the kitchen." When Dahua saw Gu Qingqing coming back, she hurried forward to help pull the cart, and then talked about family matters.

"Well, Dahua is awesome. By the way, is Sanlang here?" Gu Qingqing asked.

But I saw Dahua shaking her head.

Gu Qingqing had an idea in her mind, and then she gave some instructions to Dahua.

Erhua came over and saw a chicken tied to the car. She pointed at it and asked in surprise, "Mom, why is there a chicken in the car?"

"Of course I caught it. Stay away from it. It's nesting. It will be very fierce if I catch it..."

"Ah! Wow! It hurts..." followed by Erhua's loud crying.

"Erhua!" Dahua shouted.

Gu Qingqing quickly turned her head to look, and saw Erhua covering her right hand with her left hand, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Were you pecked?" Gu Qingqing hurriedly put the shaft of the cart on the ground, rushed to Erhua, wiped her tears with one hand, and held up her little hand with the other.

"Wuwuwu... Mom, it hurts... Ah huh..." Erhua cried heartbreakingly and then raised her little hand to Gu Qingqing's chin.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Let me see if there's any bleeding." Gu Qingqing said as she opened her left hand. Then she saw a cut on the back of Erhua's index finger, and blood was slowly condensing into blood beads.

Dahei, who had been following along, raised his butt and made a warning sound in a baby voice towards the culprit in the car.

Dahua ran over, grabbed Erhua's hand and was about to put it into her mouth, but was stopped by Gu Qingqing.

While comforting Erhua, she directed Dahua to go to the kitchen to get flint.

"Come on, go back with mother. I will bandage you up and it won't hurt. I will also tie a bow for you, okay?" Gu Qingqing said, holding Erhua's hand.

"Mom, what is a bow?"

“Just like a butterfly.”

Fortunately, there was still half a bottle of wine that Wen Wuyan bought last time, and he also pulled out a small ball of cotton from the quilt.

Then he took out a piece of osmanthus crystal cake that Shen Chenan had sent him last time and asked Erhua to eat it.
