Chapter 40 This father is even less knowledgeable than my second sister
After dinner, those who came to help went back home.
Shen took out the bedding and clothes that she had asked Chunya and Aunt Ya to sew today. Because they didn't have enough time, they only made one set of clothes for each person, but at least Jiang Youzhen got to wear warm pants.
In this weather, if you don’t wear thick pants, you will freeze to death.
The whole family changed into thick clothes and were all grinning from ear to ear with joy.
"I never thought that I could wear such new clothes." Si Ya touched the thick jacket and trousers, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes! I put on new ones." San Ya also sighed.
Erya also pursed her lips and touched the thick coat with care, tears in her eyes.
"My little brother is smart. We will also have a day to wear new clothes."
Seeing their daughters being so surprised by their new clothes, the couple felt ashamed.
When the children were born, they would pick up clothes that the eldest wife’s daughter didn’t want anymore to wear, and they would wear the same clothes for many years.
If it was too short, they would add another piece to it. If it was too worn out to be worn, they would change it into fur pants to wear underneath.
"Dad is sorry for you." Jiang Fugui, a grown man, couldn't help but choke up at this moment.
In the past, he only considered it his responsibility to support his family. His father always said that his eldest brother and fourth brother were smart, and if they studied well and had a bright future, the family would be able to improve their situation, and he would finally be able to enjoy the fruits of his hard work.
He just worked hard, thinking that every farmer's family was like this. Only by working harder could he make his family live a good life.
He saw the child's suffering, and although he felt distressed, he had long been accustomed to it.
But in the two days after the separation, seeing that the baby's face became rosier than before and his temperament became more lively and energetic, he realized how sorry he was to the baby.
It doesn't matter if you suffer, because this life was given by your parents.
But it is indeed my fault that I let my child and wife suffer with me.
Shen wiped away her tears. She never expected that there would be a day when the family would be divided in this life.
"Dad! We have separated. As long as we live a good life in the future, it is better than anything else."
Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but say a few words to this father. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Fugui's performance today, she saw the transformation in Jiang Fugui.
If it were the same as in the past, Jiang Fugui would definitely think that most of these things at home should be given to his parents as a gift. Today, he refrained from giving them, which was already a great improvement.
After the warm atmosphere of the family, Jiang Youzhen remembered that he still had something to take out.
"Look! I went up the mountain with my second sister and the others today, set up a trap, and caught something good."
Holding the gray rabbit, Si Ya happily walked forward and took the rabbit ears.
"Oh! It's really a rabbit. I want to keep it."
Jiang Youzhen was a little embarrassed, "It's dead."
"Ah? The rabbit is so cute, why did you kill it?"
Si Ya was very disappointed. She felt a little sad as she touched the rabbit's fur.
She looked up at Shen, "Mom! Since the rabbit is dead, let's eat it! It's cold outside anyway, and our stomachs are still warm!"
Jiang Youzhen: ...Isn’t this a case of white cutting black?
Everyone burst into laughter. Shen poked Si Ya on the forehead and said, "You only know how to eat."
"Erlang, did you go up the mountain again? And did you go to the inner circle? And why did you set a trap?"
Everyone was immersed in the joy of finding the rabbit, but the usually gentle Arya was not easy to fool at this moment. Instead, she had a stern face and looked very serious.
After hearing this, San Ya and Siya no longer dared to make a fuss and they all looked at Jiang Youzhen.
"Erlang, did you really go to the inner circle? Do you know how dangerous the inner circle is?" Shen asked with a frown.
Jiang Fugui also had a serious look on his face. "When I was a child, I saw with my own eyes a hunter enter the inner circle. When he ran out, he was covered in blood. He said there was a blind bear inside. He died after running a few steps."
At this point, the atmosphere became a little solemn.
Jiang Youzhen hurriedly explained, "No, I didn't go to the mountains. I set the trap when my second sister and her friends were collecting firewood. I definitely didn't go to the mountains, and I wouldn't dare to go!"
"In fact, I only caught two small wild animals. I gave a pheasant to the village head, and I brought the other one back to prepare for my own meat."
Originally, Shen had agreed to cook braised pork today, but because there were people working at home, it would have been too conspicuous, so everyone held back today and only tasted a little bit of the meat.
Now that I have one more rabbit, I should be able to enjoy some meat in the next few days.
"It's good that you didn't go to the inner circle. You are not allowed to go there in the future. But you are really lucky today. It is only right that we give the pheasant to the village head. He has helped us a lot."
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen looked like he absolutely would not go, Shen felt relieved.
Jiang Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then she heard Jiang Fugui asking her about the trap.
"I learned this from an old farmhand when I was working at Mr. Wang's house. I pondered over it for a long time and gained some experience."
Jiang Youzhen was afraid that he would be exposed, so he urged Si Ya to bring out the biggest harvest of the day in the mountains.
"Oh! I almost forgot." Jiang Youzhen successfully changed the subject.
She patted her head, then ran to her room and said, "I hid it under the quilt. I was so busy today that I almost forgot about it."
"Dad, how did you know that we went up the mountain to pick up treasures today?" San Ya asked excitedly.
"Baby? What baby?" Jiang Fugui was very confused.
"Didn't Dad say that we picked up Ganoderma lucidum?" Erya also said with a smile.
"I just wanted to find a place for our money, didn't I? I just said that casually."
Jiang Fugui waved his hand. With his knowledge and experience, this was the only excuse he could come up with.
Jiang Youzhen laughed, "Dad, you are really speaking the truth. Aren't we going to pick up the Ganoderma lucidum?"
Shen thought they were joking. "How can you really pick up Ganoderma? You are just trying to make your father happy."
"Why don't you believe it? Wait until Fourth Sister comes and you can see for yourself."
Jiang Youzhen smiled faintly and said nothing. There was nothing she could do. She was extremely lucky. The two of them couldn't believe it.
At this time, Si Ya had already come over with a backpack. When she handed the backpack to the couple, they immediately screamed in surprise.
"Is it really Lingzhi?"
"Dad, is this really Ganoderma lucidum?" Shen looked at it again and again, still asking uncertainly.
Jiang Fugui was also confused, "This? I have never seen Ganoderma lucidum before!"
Jiang Youzhen was speechless. How could this father be even less knowledgeable than his second sister?
"I've seen it, the Ganoderma lucidum that Da Zhuang's father picked back then was half the size of this one!
It is said that he sold it for fifty taels of silver, and later Dazhuang's family bought eight acres of prime land, and gave Dazhuang's wife two taels of silver as a betrothal gift!"
Shen thought of the incident from the previous year, and Jiang Fugui naturally couldn't be unaware of it.
“I have never seen Lingzhi, but I know about this.
When we heard that he had bought nine acres of land and had a lot of money left, who in the village wouldn't be envious? From then on, Da Zhuang's father's back was harder than the stinky stones in our pit."
When Jiang Youzhen heard Jiang Fugui's analogy, he was a little amused.
