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

After everyone finished eating and left, Erhua helped clean the table that had just been used for dinner outside, "Sister, I've cleaned it, you can come and study now!"

Erhua shouted and ran into the kitchen to pull Sanhua out, "Come on, let's watch Sister study, but you can't make trouble!"

"Auntie, is this ready?" Li Xin asked, pointing at the pig food mixed with hot water.

"Don't move this. It's too heavy for you to carry. I'll take it over. You can add some water to the pot."

"Aunt, I have plenty of strength." After saying that, Li Xin picked up the wooden barrel and walked towards the backyard.

Gu Qingqing followed him out of the kitchen and watched him walking steadily with most of the bucket of pig food. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the boy was indeed strong.

......

Gu Qingqing scooped the water celery from the pot into the basin, and reminded Li Xin who was about to take the basin out, "Be careful when pouring it, don't get your shoes wet."

"I understand, aunt." The yard was paved with bamboo strips that Wen Wuyan had made when he was at home and was used to dry things.

Under the bamboo strips are several horizontal bamboo poles, which are placed on two benches. As Li Xin poured the water celery in the basin onto the bamboo strips, the water flowed down directly through the gaps in the bamboo strips like rain.

He was ashamed that Daxin jumped so fast, otherwise the water might have dripped on his feet. He hurriedly returned the basin to the kitchen and ran out to spread the wild vegetables evenly on the bamboo strips.

They make three trips in two days. If one bamboo strip is not enough, they use two. If two are not enough, they start using bamboo poles to extend the strips. They arrange the strips one by one and dry them on the poles.

After they left, the moon had risen high in the sky, and the oil lamp on the table in the yard was shining on the table, with one shining in the sky and the other on the table.

"Thank you, Grandpa Yang. I've memorized it all. I will practice more later."

"Okay, okay. If you have any questions, feel free to come to grandpa anytime." You can tell that Old Yang's voice is full of relief.

"Have you finished your studies? Uncle Yang, there is some freshly boiled hot water in the pot. You can go and get a basin of it back to the room later. Daxin, Chen An wrote to us today. We haven't opened it yet. You can read it with us later." Gu Qingqing spoke to Old Yang first, but the last few sentences were addressed to Daxin.

Li Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, I'm not familiar with that Mr. Shen, so I'd better not go. You guys can wait and see."

Gu Qingqing originally used the tone of negotiating with her, but now she didn't want to go after hearing him. She put a hand on his shoulder and said, "He not only brought a letter, but also some food. It's just right for us to open it together and see what it is. You can also bring some back for Grandpa Yang to eat."

Old Yang happened to be coming out of the kitchen carrying hot water. When he heard her talking about whether to eat or not, he quickly shook his head and said, "Don't let Daxin bring me anything. I won't eat."

As if worried that Gu Qingqing wouldn't listen, he added at the end, "It's not sweet, I don't like it."

Gu Qingqing smiled, "Uncle Yang, you don't even know what it is, so you just say it's sweet."

"I'm going back to sleep. Daxin, I'll leave the light on for you." After saying that, Old Yang left with the hot water.

......

Before opening the letter, Gu Qingqing almost took a shower and changed her clothes. It wasn't because she was a mysophobe, but because she liked to make herself comfortable before reading slowly.

At this time, five people gathered around the oil lamp, listening to Gu Qingqing reading the contents of the letter.

: Aunt, I miss you so much. I also miss Dahua, Erhua and Sanhua. Do you miss me? I am doing well here. I listened to my aunt and practiced spear with my father. I can now wield a 10-jin spear. Uncle Wu Yi said that I was very impressive. Am I very powerful, aunt? Am I very powerful!

Auntie, did you receive the fox skin? I hunted it myself and it made me fall.

You told Dahua and Erhua that I would hunt a lot in the fall. My father has an uncle who is very good at processing fur. I will ask him to process it and bring it back to Dahua and Erhua. Oh, and aunt, I will also hunt the most beautiful red fox for you.

Aunt, you always bring me delicious food. I have found a lot of delicious food here and brought it back to you. Do you like it? There were more originally, but my father said that some of them could not be brought back, saying that they would go bad if they were brought back. It would be great if you could come here. Although it is not as fun as Taohua Town, you can see the big sun hiding behind the yellow sand every day.

I wanted to go see where it was hiding, but my father wouldn't let me. Uncle Wuyi laughed at me, so I refused to give him the dried meat that my aunt brought me.

Shen Chenan's letter was ten pages long and he even wrote about eating and taking a shit.

When Gu Qingqing read the last part, she suddenly burst into laughter. "Daxin, you can read too. Read this sentence for me."

As she spoke, she placed the last piece of letter paper in front of Li Xin and pointed at a line of words.

At this time, not to mention Li Xin, even Dahua and Erhua came towards Li Xin. Li Xin's voice was not loud in the room, "Aunt, is the guy called Daxin you mentioned last time still in your house? I envy him so much, ask him if he is willing to switch with me, I will go to your house to work for you, and you can let him come to follow my father!"

When Li Xin read this, his face was filled with black lines. He was afraid that Gu Qingqing would really agree to use him to exchange for the young master, so he said anxiously, "Aunt, I won't go."

"Hahaha, you definitely won't go. I can't bear to let you go." Gu Qingqing said as she reached out and touched his head. Then she heard him say, "You just said you weren't familiar with Chen An. Look, Chen An still misses you."

Li Xin pursed his lips and smiled, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Gu Qingqing put the letter away, but clapped her hands to attract the children's attention, "Okay, now that we have finished reading the letter, let's see what delicious food Chen An has brought back for us."

As Gu Qingqing finished her words, she began to open the oil paper packages and several small cloth bags on the table in front of the children.

The three oil paper bags contained milk lumps, sour jujube flour and a kind of small-grain dried fruit. Shen Chenan wrote in the letter that it was black bubbles, but to Gu Qingqing, it looked a bit like dried blueberries, but they were slightly larger than blueberries.

The two small cloth bags contained hazelnuts and pine nuts.

"Wow, Mom, these were all sent to us by Brother Chen An."

"Yes, come on, let's try two of each first and eat the rest tomorrow." Gu Qingqing said as she took the hazelnuts and pine nuts and distributed them to everyone, and then the milk lumps.

"Wow, this white thing has a very fragrant milky flavor, sour and salty. It's delicious if you try it, mom." Erhua grabbed the few remaining pieces of milk in her hand and put them into Gu Qingqing's mouth.

As a result, at this time, Dahua asked, "Erhua, do you really think this is delicious?"

There was no need for Dahua to say anything else. From her furrowed brows and cracked mouth, it was easy for Gu Qingqing to tell how much effort she was having in eating.

At the same time, she had a lump of milk in her mouth that Erhua had stuffed into it. It tasted very strongly of sheep, as if she had fallen into a sheep pen, and there was also some strange sour and stinky smell.

It's not the kind of food that stinks from being rotten, it's a bit like the sour bamboo shoots in snail noodles, which are obviously sour, but the first bite will make people feel a hint of stench, just like Erhua said, sour and salty.

The result of Gu Qingqing forcing herself to swallow it was that she retched twice!

Dahua was not much better. She just took a bite and gave the rest to Erhua.

On the contrary, Li Xin was better, at least he finished eating calmly.
