Chu turned his head forward and saw Qin Huairu catching up with him with red eyes, "Xiao Chu, your forest farm should have anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine, right?"
Chu Xiangqian was stunned, remembering that after he was injured by a blind bear, the forest farm did apply for some medicine to be stored just in case.
Even at home, there are still some unfinished anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicines bought by my second uncle and cousin uncle from the commune.
He nodded and asked, "Who in your family has a fever?"
Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment with red eyes, and then said helplessly, "My brother's family has many children, and they have been without food for several days. They all rely on my parents to help.
The day before yesterday, my niece was so hungry that she went to catch sparrows with a few children. She didn't know what she was doing. She got a big cut on her hand and it swelled up last night.
Fortunately, although I have a fever, it is not bad, but it will be hard to tell in a day or two. "
Chu Xiangqian sighed helplessly, "Let's go. If we hurry, we should be able to reach the forest farm before dark."
Qin Huairu thanked her hurriedly and took out a pair of walnuts from her pocket as she walked.
"Xiao Chu, my father said that the family has no money to buy medicine, so we can only exchange these gadgets with people for medicine. If possible, give me some food."
Chu Xiangqian was stunned and immediately realized that exchanging food was the key point. Looking at the pair of walnuts, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Wenwan walnut originated in the Han and Sui Dynasties, became popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
On the one hand, this thing is easy to obtain, and on the other hand, the walnut itself has auspicious meanings and is easily accepted by the common people.
The people around the three capitals were influenced by the dignitaries in the city, so naturally there were many people who played with it.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Qianqian staring at the walnuts in his hand.
He said hurriedly, "My father said that these pairs of walnuts are lion heads. Although they are not valuable, they are also extremely rare.
Because he had worked as a carpenter, he bought this pair of walnuts from an old farmer in exchange for half of the carpenter's wages. "
Chu reached forward and took it. After a closer look, he saw that the pair of walnuts were shining red. He knew that the pair of walnuts must have been hanging around 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 awkward to play with this thing by yourself.
But if you keep it for a few decades, you might be able to get a villa in exchange.
And even now, it’s easy to exchange three to five yuan.
If you meet someone you like, they will pay ten or eight yuan.
If the old connections of Gong Changqing who entrusted the store, that is, the old people from the previous dynasty, encountered it, if it was not difficult a year or two earlier, ten or twenty yuan would be no problem.
But in the hands of Qin Huairu or his father, it is only three to five yuan.
Many treasures are indeed valuable, but who to sell them to is a big problem.
With the current transportation and information, most people around the capital may never have entered the capital in their lives.
Let alone finding a suitable buyer.
Chu reached forward to take it and said, "Has your father ever told you how much this lion head is worth?"
Qin Huairu nodded hurriedly, "He said that in previous years, someone wanted to trade 10 pounds of white flour with him."
When Chu Qianqian heard this, he felt happy.
10 pounds of white flour from one or two years ago costs 3 yuan at most.
But now, it costs eight or nine yuan.
"Okay, I won't take advantage of your family. It's just 10 pounds of white flour. And tell your dad if he can find such a gadget in the future.
I exchanged grain for him. Even if you want meat. "
Qin Huairu was overjoyed, even though his father said that someone wanted to exchange 10 yuan of white flour for him, but he didn't exchange it, and there was a bit of pride in his tone.
But Qin Huairu knew that his father actually regretted it.
But now, let alone 10 kilograms, people are not willing to give out even 5 kilograms.
Of course Chu Xiangqian also understands this truth, but if she doesn't give him any benefits, why would Qin Huairu's father take this matter to heart?
Besides, you have to give him some price difference, otherwise only a fool would do it if he gets a thank you for his hard work.
The two of them waited until it was completely dark before arriving at the forest farm.
How could Chu Xiangqian be willing to take Qin Huairu to find people in the forest farm without gossiping? His second uncle Chu He and his cousin Chu Jiang would definitely come to nag him when they found out.
He took Qin Huairu on a detour and returned to his home on the hillside.
He found anti-inflammatory medicine and antipyretic medicine, gave them to Qin Huairu, and asked, "It's already dark. Should you go back overnight, or should you stay here with me for one night and leave tomorrow morning?"
Qin Huairu naturally wanted to go back overnight, but before chasing Chu Qianqian, she did not dare to tell her parents that she was chasing Chu Qianqian.
Instead, he said he had to catch the last bus back to the city to buy medicine.
Going back now is not only difficult in terms of time, but also difficult to explain to my family.
Moreover, walking in the mountains at night, even in the snow, is a joke with your own life.
Qin Huairu experienced almost freezing to death today.
The little courage I had in my heart suddenly retreated after thinking about the situation during the day.
Fortunately, although my niece had a fever, it was not severe.
But if it is not handled well and dragged on, people will be gone.
And along the way, Qin Huairu had not thought that since many people in the village had run out of food, if they didn't find a way, the family might have to starve to death a baby girl or an old man.
And hope naturally lies in Chu Xiangqian.
Judging from the fact that he agreed without hesitation to exchange 10 pounds of white flour for a pair of walnuts, it seemed that he was not short of food.
He gritted his teeth, stopped talking at all, and silently started to clean up the house.
Chu looked forward and knew her choice.
What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that Qin Huairu agreed in her heart, but said, "Xiao Chu, I have a very pretty cousin. How about I introduce her to you?"
Chu Xiangqian knew it was Qin Jingru as soon as he heard it. Just calculating the time, Qin Jingru should be only half a girl at this time.
Marriage is at least a few years away.
And speaking of it, in front of the twenty-four or five-year-old Qin Huairu, when Qin Jingru was at her most beautiful, she was beaten by the young Qin Huairu.
Chu Xiangqian naturally had no such intention.
"Sister Qin, how old is your girl now?"
Qin Huairu couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Chu looked forward and 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.
If you ask me to wait a few years before eating meat, I might as well find a beautiful city girl. "
These words hit Qin Huairu in the lungs. Because he did not have a registered residence in the city, he not only had to go hungry, but his parents' family was in trouble, and they didn't even bother to notify him.
This made Qin Huairu want a job in the city more and more.
After a while, Qin Huairu said, "Xiao Chu, did you lie to your sister and me about the apprenticeship?"
Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "You should know how severe the food shortage is now. As long as I can get wild boars, wild deer, pheasants and rabbits from the mountains.
Is it not easy to find an apprenticeship, temporary worker, etc. with some units? "
Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel relieved.
Seeing that the house was almost tidied up, he muttered, "I'll just make a bunk on the floor tonight."
Chu Qianqian didn't care about this, reached out and grabbed Qin Huairu's hand, and pulled the pretty daughter-in-law into his arms.
This time it was like thunder from the sky and fire from the earth.
An hour later, the paper on the window of the hut was filled with moisture.
Suddenly a pretty face was pressed against the window, with an expression as if he was sick.
Both confusing and painful.
Fortunately, after ten minutes, everything calmed down.
At night, Chu Qianqian hugged Qin Huairu, whose body seemed to be falling apart, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? I remember there is some dried meat at home."
Qin Huairu suddenly gained strength.
I secretly thought that after being tortured by this kid for so long, I should eat some dried meat from him.
For Chu Xiangqian, now that he has started, he must benefit others.
Otherwise, you have to talk about feelings.
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 Silly Zhu's child.
Now that Qin Huairu is under his control, she doesn't need to give birth to a child for him.
The most important thing is that this woman was indeed very moist when she was in her twenties.
