Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 185: Old customs and habits passed down from generation to generation

Now that it has been decided, the family members no longer worry about it, especially the uncle and aunt, who opened their mouths so wide that their stomachs can be seen.

Seeing that it was still early, Dabao decided to go into the mountains. There were still three big wild boars in the space. He would go into the mountains to hunt a few more and sell them to the steel mill. This was what he had promised Deputy Director Li.

"Master, there's one more thing. Something happened to Huairu's husband."

"Huai Ru? Whose child is this? Why does he sound so familiar to me?"

Old Qin and his wife are old and don’t like to go out. They can’t even recognize all their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, let alone their great-granddaughters.

Second Uncle interrupted: "Is it Tiezhu's daughter? The one who married into the city? What happened?"

Qin Dabao nodded and said, "It's his family's. Huairu's husband had an accident in the workshop the day before yesterday and died. Grandpa, Second Uncle, please tell Brother Tiezhu and ask two people from their family to help with the work."

"Ah? The person is gone? How did he disappear?"

"He drank a lot of wine at noon, but he still wanted to show off. As a result, when the machine started, his clothes got tangled in it. He pushed with his hands, and the man was tangled in. When the machine stopped and he was pulled out, his body was half-broken."

"Oh my, that's too tragic."

"Hurry up, Qingfu, go tell Tiezhu this message and ask him to send someone over immediately."

Second uncle sighed and ran out.

Grandpa thought for a long time but couldn't remember what Qin Huairu looked like. But when he heard that she was Tiezhu's daughter, she would be his great-grandson, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"How many years has this girl been married? The children are already grown up, right? If this man dies, how will she live?"

Dabao held his grandfather's hand. He knew that as an old man, he liked the younger generation to be close to him.

"Huairu lives in the same courtyard with our family now, so we can usually take care of her. But when something happened, I talked to the director of their factory, and they were very humane. They let Huairu take over her husband's job. There's an elderly woman and three children at home, and the factory also gives her a monthly subsidy. After all, we have to make ends meet."

Grandpa sighed and said, "Go back and tell your parents that you can't write two characters for Qin with this stroke. As grandparents, they should help you more in the future."

Dabao responded, and Xiaohua stayed leaning against her brother.

Grandma looked at Qin Xiaohua and sighed: "I think it would be better for this girl to find a job in the city."

Qin Dabao knew that her grandmother favored boys over girls, but she really said this out of concern for her granddaughter. Having experienced the changes of several dynasties, her grandmother knew best the hardships and dangers of being a soldier.

Qin Dabao touched his sister's hair and saw persistence and strength in her eyes.

"As long as my sister has made up her mind, I, as her brother, will fully support her." He now has the ability to let his family live the life they want. He also likes to see his family smile happily from the bottom of their hearts. Besides, working as a nurse in a military hospital is also a good choice.

Qin Xiaohua didn't expect that her courage would give her life a different direction. She stood there stupidly, then suddenly threw herself into her eldest brother's arms and burst into tears.

Seeing her crying so hard, the family members couldn't help but shed tears, and the old aunt kept wiping away her tears.

Qin Dabao patted her and waved to call Xiaohong over. He realized that he had usually neglected his two younger sisters. It seemed that they had grown up in the blink of an eye.

"Hong, you should learn from your sister's courage. If you have any ideas, just speak them out. As long as you speak them out, I can help you realize them."

Qin Xiaohong timidly pinched her brother's fingers, looked back at her mother, then at her grandmother, and whispered, "I, I want to study."

Qin Dabao looked back at his grandparents in surprise. His family wasn't so poor that his child had no books to read, right?

Grandpa and grandma sighed and said nothing.

The uncle and aunt lowered their heads, and the aunt whispered: "In the village, everyone says that it is enough for a girl to know a few words. What's the point of reading more?

Xiaohua and Xiaohong only need to graduate from elementary school, learn a few words, and get married in a few years. Not only will their education be expensive, but in the end, it will all benefit their in-laws."

"Confused!" Qin Dabao stood up all of a sudden, his eyes wide open: "What's wrong with girls? Aren't girls born and raised by you? You still listen to those ignorant words? This, this, this, you are confused..." Dabao couldn't go on. After all, she was his elder, so he couldn't say anything else. He could only calm down and slow down his tone: "Okay, I don't care about other people's families, but in our family, I take care of my sister!"

Everyone in the family was stunned. This was the first time they saw Dabao get angry.

Xiaohong burst into tears, hugged her brother's waist, and cried until her face turned red.

Qin Dabao stroked Xiaohong's hair and sighed deeply. This preference for boys over girls was especially prevalent in rural areas, and almost every family was like this. It was an outdated custom passed down for thousands of years, and he was powerless to change it, but in their family, such a thing would never be allowed to happen.

"Be good, pack your clothes in a while, and I'll take you to the city. You like reading, so I'll send you there. I'll support you as long as you want to study."

Qin Xiaohong raised her little face and nodded vigorously.

The uncle and aunt were dumbfounded, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. In the blink of an eye, they were the only ones left at home.

Grandpa was a little embarrassed, but more of a relief. He coughed and said, "Xiaohong, Xiaohua, you must have accumulated so much virtue in your past lives to have such a big brother who takes care of you in this life. You must remember this kindness. In the future, you must listen to your big brother and be filial to him."

"We understand, Grandpa."

Second uncle came back with a gun in his hand.

"Grandpa, grandma, I have to go into the mountains quickly and be back by tomorrow noon at the latest." Dabao took the gun handed over by his second uncle.

Old Qin has long been accustomed to his eldest grandson going into the mountains to hunt, and he now has blind trust in Dabao.

The old lady held Dabao's hand, reluctant to let him go into the mountains. After giving him many instructions, Dabao finally went out and went into the mountains with his gun on his back.

. . . .

It is almost March in the Gregorian calendar. A hint of green can already be seen in the mountains. The breath of spring is blowing in our faces. Taking a breath of fresh air makes us feel refreshed.

There are quite a lot of pheasants along the way. I guess it's spring now and there's food in the fields, so they all come out to fill up.

When Qin Dabao entered the deep mountains, he had already killed fifteen pheasants. The pheasants were much heavier now. He didn't want the winter pheasants. A handful of bones could only be used to make soup. However, this idea could only exist in his mind. If someone heard it out loud, he would get beaten. He was so pretentious!

The sky gradually darkened, and Dabao was a little frustrated that he still hadn't seen any trace of the wild boar.

This time when hunting, I can’t stay in the mountains for long. If I don’t catch anything tomorrow, I’ll have to use up my savings.

He wandered around in the mountains until it was completely dark, but still found nothing. He could only return to the space to eat.

There was still a box of braised pork and two pounds of pastries left in the space, which reminded Qin Dabao of preparing the seasonings. He always forgot about it, so he kept this in mind.

Lying on the grass, eating cakes, with a little squirrel feeding him an apple, his life was miserable.

Qin Dabao fell asleep unconsciously. He slept so comfortably. He woke up because his nose was a little itchy. Without opening his eyes, he stretched out his hand and caught the little squirrel instead of Niu Niu and Wen Wen.

He finally woke up and realized that this was not his home.

Qin Dabao turned over and sat up, scaring the little squirrel so much that it started waving its little paws. Dabao laughed and kissed it, then let the little squirrel go. The little squirrel ran away and hid in a tree.

After washing up with the lake water, he slipped out of the space.

When I came out of this space, I found that I was actually on a hillside. There was also a hillside opposite me, with a ditch in the middle. There was no snow at all, and a little green had emerged from the ground.

The ditch was very long, and from a distance, there were several black spots moving.

Qin Dabao flashed into the space, loaded the bullet into his gun, and ran towards the black spot along the hillside.

The closer they got, the clearer they could see. It turned out to be a large herd of wild boars. Dabao counted them and found that there were thirteen of them, big and small. A large wild boar weighed more than three hundred kilograms, and it was surrounded by five old sows weighing more than two hundred kilograms. The rest were small yellow-haired pigs.

This is a big family with many wives and concubines. Qin Dabao is happy. They are so corrupt that they must be wiped out.

He lay on the hillside, with his guns in a row in front of him. He was very experienced in hunting wild boars. He didn't shoot the cannon basket first. This guy was big and couldn't run fast. On the contrary, the sow weighing more than 200 kilograms was more flexible.

Qin Dabao was about to shoot when a yellow figure suddenly rushed over and knocked down a yellow-haired pig. The pigs suddenly scattered.

Dabao took a closer look and found that it was actually a big mountain cat, scientifically called lynx. This guy was very ferocious and bit the little yellow-haired boy to the point where he couldn't move.

Can the cannon basket spoil it? In the forest, a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms is a king. Even a blind bear dares not provoke it.

Cannon Basket was obviously angry, and it lowered its head and rushed towards the mountain cat. The mountain cat was so agile that it disappeared in a moment of turning around. It turned out that it bit the yellow-haired cat to death and wanted to wait until the wild boars left so that it could come out and enjoy the food.

Qin Dabao saw it and knew he had to kill it quickly. The smell of blood was spreading and it was time for the wild boar to move to another place.

He raised his gun and emptied all the bullets in his ten guns. When the smoke cleared, he took a closer look and saw that several big wild boars were lying on the ground. The little yellow-haired boy had only shot two.

This is normal. Little yellow-haired cats are small and flexible. If you don't hit them intentionally, you usually can't hit them.

Qin Dabao put away his rifle, walked into the ditch with his pistol in both hands, and put all the wild boars into the space, leaving only the one that was killed by the mountain cat.

It’s not that Dabao is a picky person, it’s because the teeth of the animals in the mountains are poisonous, and Dabao dare not eat the prey they have bitten...
