Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

The harvest was ready. Qin Dabao hurried out of the mountain and shot seven pheasants and five mountain jumpers along the way. However, the pheasants were very small, and each one weighed less than two pounds of meat. The same was true for the mountain jumpers. Dabao really didn't like them, but it was meat after all, so he might as well save it for making soup for his grandparents.

When I was about to reach Qinjiagou, I took out five pheasants and three mountain jumpers from the space, carried the gun on my back and carried them in my hands, and returned to my grandparents' house. When I got home, I saw that Xiaohua and Xiaohong had already packed their clothes. The two little girls' faces were full of longing for happiness.

It was already noon. Qin Dabao ate two steamed buns made of 200g flour and a bowl of corn porridge and was about to go back to the city.

He told his second uncle to send the dog eggs to his home the day after tomorrow, and told his grandparents to eat the food they brought and not to save it.

The grandmother was reluctant to let her eldest grandson go. She held Dabao's hand and wiped her eyes: "This child, how can you bear to eat such precious food?"

Qin Dabao felt sad after hearing this. He hugged his grandmother and his eyes became a little red. He could feel that his grandparents were getting older, so the food they took was all produced in the space.

He whispered in grandma's ear: "Grandma, you must eat the rice and flour I brought for you and grandpa. I tell you, this is specially grown for those big leaders. Eating it for a long time will prolong your life.

My grandfather's rank is high enough, so the food he distributes is also of this kind. You must eat it. I also hope that you will keep your bodies healthy so that I can bring you to the city in the future to help look after my great-grandchildren."

Grandma couldn't stop crying and nodded repeatedly: "Eat, eat, and take care of yourself. When my eldest grandson gets married, you can take care of my great-grandson."

When an old man reaches old age, he doesn't seek food or drink, but rather a large family with many children and grandchildren, and a prosperous population. This is his wish.

Qin Dabao took out fifty yuan from his pocket and secretly put it into his grandmother's pocket: "If you and my grandfather don't obey, I will never come back."

The grandmother was so scared that she quickly said: "Grandma, listen to your eldest grandson and eat until you get fat." In fact, no matter whether the child is old or young, they all need to be coaxed.

Qin Dabao asked Xiaohong to sit in the sidecar with the bag, and Xiaohua sat behind him. He turned around and waved, then started the motorcycle and drove towards the village below.

Grandpa, grandma, second uncle and eldest uncle stood on the slope, watching the motorcycle pass through the village and disappear into the distance.

The old lady wiped her face, and Old Qin said with a smile: "How come your eyelids are so loose even though you're so old? You keep wiping away tears at the slightest thing."

The old lady kicked him and said: "You old man! You are the one who is careless!" The money in her pocket fell out when she moved.

The second uncle and the old uncle quickly squatted down and picked it up: "Mom, how come there is so much money in your pocket?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then snatched it away: "Of course it was given to me by my eldest grandson."

Old Qin put his hands behind his back and sighed: "Old woman, what's the point of having a son? If you ask me, it's just a little bit useful. It can give us a good grandson."

The old lady curled her lips and said, "You should be secretly happy to have such a grandson. I think your father's grave is smoking. This is the only benefit of having that idiot."

Qin Qingyou sneezed twice in the workshop with his arm folded, muttering, "Who is cursing me behind my back? Why are they cursing me so repeatedly?"

. . . . .

When Dabao returned home, he saw that not only Lu Xiu'e was at home with Xiaodang, but Qin Huairu's father Qin Tiezhu and her brother Qin Liben were also there. However, the father and son were sitting on the edge of the kang, with sad faces, puffing on their pipes, and the room was filled with smoke.

As soon as Qin Dabao brought Xiaohua and Xiaohong into the room, Qin Tiezhu quickly stood up. Seeing that Qin Liben had not reacted yet, he hurriedly pulled him.

"Brother, are you back?" Qin Tiezhu tapped his pipe nervously.

In fact, Qin Dabao and Qin Tiezhu are already relatives of the third degree. The so-called fifth degree refers to the great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, grandfather, father and oneself.

They had the same great-grandfather, but their bloodline was already very thin, so they were not very close. This was also the main reason why Qin Huairu started to have little contact with Dabao's family.

But no matter what, they still have the same ancestor and the same surname, Qin.

"Brother Tiezhu, establish your foundation."

"Uncle." Qin Liben was an honest child and spoke in a soft voice.

Qin Tiezhu was also a little uneasy, neither standing nor sitting.

Dabao pulled him to sit on a chair, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one to Qin Tiezhu.

He now smokes the special-supply white-skinned cigarettes himself, and gives others ordinary Zhonghua cigarettes. This is already quite impressive, costing 80 cents a box, while the mass-produced ones only cost 8 cents a box.

Qin Tiezhu had only smoked a cigarette once, when Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu returned to her parents' home after their marriage, and Jia Dongxu gave him one.

He took the cigarette, and put it between his ears in a hurry, smoking his pipe again. Dabao was about to light one for himself,

As soon as Xiaodang saw Dabao, he immediately struggled in Lu Xiu'e's arms, twitching his two little hands and making sounds with his little mouth.

Dabao quickly took off his uniform and cotton-padded jacket. He had been riding a motorcycle all the way and was feeling cold. He wanted to hug Xiaodang so that he wouldn't catch a cold. This kind of thoughtfulness was rare.

In fact, this is all the experience of taking care of his sister in his previous life. His guilt towards his sister has reached the extreme. For example, Niu Niu likes to eat fish, and her brother picks out the bones and feeds it to her. For decades, Niu Niu has never been stuck by a fish bone.

He picked up Xiaodang, took out a piece of candy from his trouser pocket, peeled it, and put it into Xiaodang's mouth. Xiaodang had six small teeth, so he let her lick it. The candy was big, so he didn't worry about the child choking after swallowing it. Xiaodang was so happy after eating the candy.

Lu Xiu'e quickly asked Xiaohua and Xiaohong to sit down. These two little girls had always been close to their aunt. One of them hugged her aunt's arm and cried in a sweet voice, which made Lu Xiu'e very happy.

"Hua, you and Xiaohong should stay at Auntie's house for a few more days. Auntie will make delicious food for you."

"Auntie, my brother said he would send me to the army..."

Xiaodang leaned in Dabao's arms, pointing at the milk powder can and yelling "ah ah". Qin Dabao was happy and kissed her hard: "Little girl, you are so smart."

He held Xiaodang in one hand and made milk powder with the other, and asked his mother without turning his head: "Mom, haven't Huairu and her mother-in-law come back yet?"

When Lu Xiu'e heard Xiaohua say that she wanted to join the army, she didn't find it strange. The three women in her family were all military men, so it was nothing special for this woman to join the army.

When she heard Dabao's question, she looked up and replied, "They should be here soon. The steel mill's truck sent them back home yesterday. They definitely can't wait, so they'll probably have to take the bus back."

"Where's my dad? Wasn't he injured? Why isn't he at home?"

"He's the guy? He said the workshop was overloaded and short-staffed, but now he's back to work today after a day off. He won't listen to anything I say."

Qin Dabao put down the thermos, turned around and said with a smile: "It's still a light beating."

Lu Xiu'e glared at him: "If you have the guts to say this, wait until your father comes back and say it to his face?"

Qin Dabao pouted, he didn't have that ability.

Dabao held Xiaodang in his arms and sat at the round table, stirring the milk powder with a small iron spoon. "Mom, Xiaohong wants to study. I guess she needs to start from the fourth or fifth grade. Which elementary school do you think is good for her?"

"Hong? He's thirteen, so he should be in the sixth grade. If you're worried about not being able to keep up, then he should be in the fourth grade. We're close to the Steel Mill Primary School, so he can go there. Then we'll register Hong's household registration at our house, and he can enroll in school as your father's dependent."

"Okay, I'll ask my second uncle to get the household registration certificate. Tomorrow I'll go to Director Tan to get Xiaohong's household registration, and then go to the school to handle the formalities." Dabao stirred the milk powder. The milk powder now had a strong milky aroma and a hint of mutton.

"Son, how did you arrange for Xiaohua?"

"The day after tomorrow my second uncle will bring Goudan here. I will take them to the Armed Forces Department to register for a physical examination. The results will probably take a week. We also have to wait for the recruits to arrive, which will take at least a month. Then we will see if Goudan can join my uncle's unit.

Xiaohua? Tomorrow I'll go back to my grandmother's house and ask my aunt if her hospital can accept her. If she has any difficulties, she can go to my uncle's first and then call back when there's an opportunity."

Lu Xiu'e nodded and said, "That's fine. Don't go to the police station. I'll go see Director Tan tomorrow. It shouldn't be a big problem."

The mother and son's chatter left Qin Tiezhu and his son dumbfounded. They understood what they were saying and knew that this was a huge matter for them, so how could they say it so easily?

Qin Tiezhu also noticed that Uncle Qing You's family was no longer the same as before, especially Dabao, who was very capable. He had to tell Huairu that they should visit each other often in the future. Maybe he could help his son in the future.

Qin Dabao reached out to catch the candy that Xiaodang spit out and threw it away. Qin Liben grinned and almost fell to the ground to lick it.

Dabao fed Xiaodang two sips of milk powder and said softly, "Be good, grandpa will go cook, and let Madam feed you, okay?"

Xiaodang's calves were kicking and he was mumbling in Martian language.

"So good," he kissed Xiaodang. Xiaodang turned around and grabbed his face and bit it. Don't say it, it was quite painful to be bitten by his little teeth.

"Mom, you feed the baby. I'll go cook." Qin Dabao originally wanted to go to his grandmother's house to visit his sister in the evening, but now that he had guests, he couldn't go.

Qin Dabao went into the kitchen, and Xiaohua and Xiaohong followed him in: "Brother, we will help you cook."

Dabao nudged his two younger sisters' heads with his forehead and said, "Go to your sister's room and rest for a while. The one on the left has a bed. Big brother can cook quickly by himself."

Xiaohua and Xiaohong wanted to help light the fire, but after looking for a long time, they couldn't find a big stove, so they had to listen to their brother and go to Cuicui's room.

The two girls looked at the furnishings in their sister's room in surprise, with their mouths wide open for a long time. Sitting on the bed, the two sisters felt like they were dreaming.

Xiaohong touched Xiaohua and said, "Sister, pinch me, am I dreaming?"

Xiaohua lowered her head and shook it, her eyes filled with tears. She knew that from today on, she and her sister would no longer be what people called money-losing goods. She was very glad that if she did not have her courage, she would not have such a life.
