My scumbag husband only saves his white moonlight; I remarry the rough-and-tumble regimental command
Chapter 21 Going to see Aunt with Gu Hanchuan
Li Xiu stopped talking, as long as he didn't mind.
Gu Hanchuan was going to Ye Nuan's aunt's house, and Gu Hong and Song Shaofeng had to give him a few more instructions. Of course, they also wanted to find out what the situation was like in the Ye family.
Gu Hanchuan told him everything he knew.
"Nuannuan said that in 1960, there was not enough food in the family. It was this aunt who delivered food to them twice, which helped them survive. Because of this, Nuannuan and her siblings are very grateful to this aunt, so they visit her once or twice a year."
Gu Hong thought Ye Nuan was a good girl; she valued relationships and was affectionate!
"That's right, it shows that the Ye family has good upbringing and knows how to be grateful."
Gu Hanchuan shook his head: "I think only Uncle Ye's family is alright, but I dare not say about the others."
Gu Hong chuckled lightly: "These days, life is tough for everyone, so conflicts are normal. By the way, you can't go empty-handed!"
"I know, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and buy some cigarettes and alcohol to take with me."
When Song Shaofeng came in, he reminded them, "They're in the countryside. They have plenty of food, but they lack everything else. See if you can buy some cloth belts."
"I understand, uncle."
Gu Hanchuan felt that his uncle was right. Bringing whatever the other person needed would show sincerity and make it less likely for them to refuse.
Ye Nuan took out some grains from her space. They don't grow rice here, and rice is a rare commodity, so she specially took out twenty catties of rice and twenty catties of millet and put them in a basket.
Ye Nuan bought two smoked chickens, and when Gu Hanchuan came to pick her up, she noticed that he had also brought a small bundle.
"what is this?"
“My aunt asked someone to get some fabric, but it has some minor flaws and isn’t easy to sell, so she asked me to bring some to your aunt.”
Ye Nuan noticed that he was also carrying two bottles of wine; Gu Hanchuan was always so considerate.
The Ye family's ancestral home is Huai Shu Village in Qingyang County, Anshi City. This village is quite large and has a considerable population.
Ye is a common surname in this village, and Ye Hehua may be because of this that she has not been mistreated by her husband's family in the more than ten years since she was married into the family, although there are still occasional disputes.
Ye Hehua and Liu Erniu have been married for twelve years. The year after their marriage, they had their son, Liu Zhengang. Ye Anjia helped them choose the name, mainly because Liu Erniu was illiterate. It was Ye Hehua who taught him to recognize a few characters after their marriage, and he was able to barely recognize all the names of the family members.
"Oh, Nuannuan, what brings you here?"
Ye Hehua wasn't in the field; she was washing clothes in the yard. She was somewhat surprised to see her niece bring in a strange man.
"Aunt, this is my boyfriend, Gu Hanchuan. My dad asked me to bring him over to see you and Uncle."
The basket was on Gu Hanchuan's back, and Ye Nuan was only holding a small bundle in her hands, which Gu Hanchuan had prepared for her.
Before midnight, Liu Zhengang and his sister Liu Xiaoyun returned.
"Sis, who is this?"
Ye Nuan smiled and introduced them, then took out a handful of candy from her pocket and shared it with the brother and sister.
"Sis, I saw the rice. Did you bring it?"
Ye Nuan nodded: "Do you like to eat rice?"
"I like it, but this stuff is quite rare; you can't buy it in our village."
"I'll have your mom steam rice for you guys later."
As soon as Liu Erniu entered the courtyard, he heard lively laughter and chatter inside the house. Without even going inside, he went straight to the kitchen and immediately saw the extra grain and two bottles of wine.
Ye Hehua smiled and said, "Nuannuan brought her boyfriend over. They're sitting in the main room. After you've washed up, go inside and chat with him. He looks like a government official."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erniu immediately became somewhat nervous.
"Am I qualified to be a cadre?"
Ye Hehua rolled her eyes at him: "What's wrong with that? Since Nuannuan brought him here, she must want us to get to know him. And from what I heard, it was my second brother and sister-in-law who sent them. This marriage is probably a done deal."
Liu Erniu nodded: "Okay, cook more dishes for lunch, but since we can't buy meat right now, just cook refined grains."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"
Liu Erniu was forced into this situation, and he was actually quite hesitant to interact with city people.
He felt incredibly lucky to have married Ye Hehua, considering she was from the city and literate.
After Liu Erniu entered the house, he was noticeably reserved. Even though it was his own home, he nervously rubbed his hands together and bowed to greet him.
Knowing her uncle's temperament, Ye Nuan quickly introduced the two men and then let them chat on their own while she took her two younger cousins to help in the kitchen.
"Nuan Nuan, what does this Comrade Gu do?"
"He's a soldier, and a battalion commander at that. Auntie, am I impressive?"
Ye Hehua's smile stretched so wide it almost reached her ears.
"Awesome! The battalion commander is great, but our Nuannuan is wonderful too!"
Ye Nuan immediately puffed out her chest; she loved hearing that.
Taking the opportunity, Ye Nuan said, "Aunt, after lunch, let Zhengang accompany me up the mountain. I want to see if we can dig up some medicinal herbs. Those soldiers might get injured at any time, so I need to be prepared."
Ye Hehua smiled and agreed, then added, "There's an uncle in our Ye family in the village, oh, you should call him Sixth Grandfather. He's a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who's been passed down through generations. He always has medicinal herbs at home. You can go to his house and see if you can exchange some with him."
Ye Nuan's eyes lit up. That's right, that sixth grandfather has a limp. I heard he fell while gathering herbs in the mountains.
"Okay, I'll go ask about it later."
At noon, after two cups of wine, Liu Erniu was finally able to relax.
Gu Hanchuan didn't drink much, but his eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Ye Hehua arranged a place for him to rest, and Ye Nuan went to her sixth grandfather's house first to see how many medicinal herbs were usable.
Grandpa Liu was sorting through medicinal herbs in the yard. After learning Ye Nuan's purpose, he took her to see some processed medicinal herbs, as well as some hemostatic powder that he had made himself.
Ye Nuan only asked for a small packet of hemostatic powder, and then selected more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs, ordering them all from him.
"Sixth Grandfather, please keep these medicinal herbs for me separately. My friend will come to pick them up tonight."
"it is good."
Ye Nuan couldn't expose the space, so this was the only way she could think of.
Ye Nuan and Liu Zhengang went up the mountain together again, but they didn't find anything special. After all, if there were any good things, the villagers would have already dug them all up. And it was too dangerous to go deep into the mountains. She was fine on her own, but she had her cousin with her, so she didn't dare to take any risks.
Ye Nuan had already made up her mind. She would go up the mountain by herself tomorrow and venture deeper into the mountains, hoping to find something good.
She didn't expect to find ginseng or any other medicinal herb; she would be content if she could even find codonopsis!
