She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

At this moment, the rabbit fled towards a dense bush. As the breeze blew, a tree stump was revealed behind it. Then the big gray rabbit was frightened by the sound of a stone falling behind it, and it jumped again. When it found it, it had no time to dodge and was hit head-on.

Gu Qingqing even heard a "bang" sound at this moment.

Gu Qingqing ran over there while laughing wildly. Hahahaha, "This really shows me what it means to sit back and wait for something to happen."

"Mom, you are so awesome, you caught the rabbit." Dahua next to her also ran forward excitedly, looking at the rabbit lying on the ground and worshiping his mother even more.

Gu Qingqing grabbed the still twitching rabbit, grabbed its hind legs, lifted it up, and used its head to hit the wooden stake.

After confirming that the rabbit was no longer moving, she weighed it and found it weighed at least six or seven kilograms.

Gu Qingqing said to Dahua very happily, "Dahua, we have meat to eat tonight. We will eat rabbit."

When Dahua heard that they were going to eat rabbit meat, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, "Mom, are we going to eat it ourselves? Should we take it to the town to sell? It's so fat, it will definitely sell for dozens of coins in the town."

Gu Qingqing shook her head.

I have been eating porridge, pickles and black steamed buns these two days, and I still feel that my throat is sore.

It's so hard to get the meat, but I'm not willing to sell it.

Gu Qingqing asked Dahua seriously, "Dahua, you and your grandma are separated today. Are you happy?"

Dahua nodded without thinking, "Happy."

"That's it. Today is the first time our family will light a fire and cook. If we don't eat some meat to celebrate, it would be a shame for the family we spent so much time talking to this morning to separate."

Dahua asked worriedly, "Mom, if we eat at home and grandma finds out that we have meat to eat, will, will..." Dahua stopped talking after this.

Gu Qingqing patted her little shoulder and asked, "Are you wondering if she will come and snatch it away?"

Dahua nodded again.

"No, since we have separated, we will live our own lives in the future. No one can take a bite of meat from us, otherwise the knife in my hand will not allow it!" Gu Qingqing said, shaking the machete in his hand.

"Yeah." Dahua became happy again.

Mother said that she would keep the rabbit for her family to eat. Even though she was reluctant, she was still a child after all. Her eyes lit up instantly and she said expectantly, "Mom, I will light a fire for you. I light the best fire."

"Okay, you light the fire." Gu Qingqing said as she cut some grass and put it at the bottom of the bamboo basket. Then she put the rabbit in and covered the rabbit with another layer of grass.

"We'll go to the bamboo forest to dig some wild vegetables, then we'll go home to cook, pack up, and move tomorrow."

After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she was about to get up and continue digging wild vegetables, when her sight was suddenly attracted by a plant in the grass in the shade behind the tree stump.

The above-ground stem is solitary, about the height of an adult's calf, with leaves that are palmately compound and whorled at the top of the stem, with a cluster of bright red drupes at the top.

Gu Qingqing recognized what this plant was at a glance; it was wild ginseng.

She couldn't help but burst out laughing twice, and Dahua next to her was startled. She saw her mother staring at the grass with a gleam in her eyes that she had never seen before.

Gu Qingqing was so happy. She didn't expect that when she went up the mountain today, she not only picked up a rabbit for free, but also found a wild ginseng.

Dahua quickly asked, "Mom, did you find another rabbit?"

Gu Qingqing was squatting originally, and now she bent over and ran towards the plant, saying to Dahua, "This is much more valuable than a rabbit."

Dahua didn't understand what was going on, so she followed her mother towards the tree stump. In her eyes, it was all weeds, so how could they be more valuable than rabbits?

Gu Qingqing squatted down, pushed aside the grass, broke the soil with the machete in her hand, then picked up a branch from the side, and used both hands to dig out the ginseng bit by bit.

She was especially careful when digging for the roots.

Dahua was watching carefully and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what is this?"

“This is ginseng.”

"Hey, this is ginseng. I've heard of it but never seen it. It looks like a radish, but it's not as white as a radish." Dahua said seriously, looking at the fibrous roots on the ginseng.

puff!

Gu Qingqing was amused by Dahua's words and paused what she was doing.

After she dug out all the ginseng, she let out a long sigh. Based on the reed bowl, she roughly confirmed that this ginseng was at least 15 or 16 years old.

I don't know how much it is worth in this era.

She carefully wrapped the ginseng with the handkerchief she brought with her, and said to Dahua, "Dahua, you can't tell anyone about the ginseng we dug here today. You can't even tell your father. Got it?"

"Can't I tell my father and sister?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qingqing said, "Not yet. We'll tell him after we sell the goods and make the money."

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to my mother!" Dahua nodded.

Gu Qingqing felt that holding the handkerchief was still not secure, so she picked a few ramie leaves from not far away, sandwiched the handkerchief in the middle, and then gently put it into the bamboo basket.

Gu Qingqing had a gratifying harvest after her trip, so she waved her hand happily and said, "Let's go dig some wild vegetables, then go to the bamboo forest, and then we'll go home."

She and Dahua were quick and agile, and soon they had dug up most of the bamboo basket of shepherd's purse, then walked towards the bamboo forest.

As Gu Qingqing walked, she looked at the entire layout of the hill and the surrounding situation. She found that this place was not far from the village. When she first went up the mountain, she found that she could see the houses outside the village by just standing on tiptoe.

After she walked halfway up the mountain, she found that there was a small stream on the side of the mountain. It seemed to be flowing towards the wooden house, but she had not noticed it just now. She would go and see later to see if it really flowed there.

......

Gu Qingqing looked at their bamboo forest, which covered an area of ​​about 4 mu. Due to lack of care, it was estimated that there were at least bamboos here.

She cut down an old bamboo from the side, and then cut it in the middle, taking only the half-person-high section in the middle. Then she told Dahua to wait for her at the side, and she went into the bamboo forest to see if she could find fresh bamboo shoots.

But when she went in, she found it a bit pessimistic.

She had seen many people digging bamboo shoots in videos before, but she had never looked for bamboo shoots herself, and was not sure which ones were edible.

"Dahua, can you find bamboo shoots?" Gu Qingqing shouted outside.

"Mom, I can." Then Dahua went into the bamboo forest, "But now is not the time for bamboo shoots. Let me see if I can find some."

The bamboo forest was not big, and they found three tender bamboo shoots.

"Let's go down the mountain."

She first cut the branches and leaves of the bamboo she had just cut off the bamboo poles, found two vines to tie the bamboo branches together, and carried them down the mountain to the cabin.

Then he used a tree stick picked up from the mountain to tie bamboo branches to make a big broom.

She and Dahua quickly cleaned the cabin.

When leaving, Gu Qingqing looked behind the house but couldn't find the stream she saw on the mountain. She planned to look for it again after moving in and see if she could bring water to the wooden house.
