Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 9: Getting a wife is harder than obtaining scriptures

Qin Dabao wrapped his sister in his coat, leaving only her little head exposed. The two of them stood on the millstone and watched the jubilant crowd in the yard.

Everyone who could move in Qinjiagou came out, and the scene of distributing pork was just like the Chinese New Year.

This village is an ethnic group. In later times, this was only found in some places in the south, but now there are many in the north as well.

Most of the villagers were Qin Dabao's juniors. Knowing that he was the one who killed the wild boar, they all came to thank Dabao.

Uncle Thirteen, Master Thirteen, Great Master Thirteen, Qin Dabao was almost blown away by the calls. He quickly took his sister and ran away. The villagers were so welcoming.

Even the pig-killing dishes and sorghum rice were sent by Qin Dazhu. Looking at the half basin of fatty meat slices, Qin Dabao really couldn't eat it. It was too greasy. Who in later generations would eat such fatty meat?

But then I saw that the family members were eating with their mouths full of oil, especially the little girl, who grabbed a big piece of fat meat, pulled it with her two little hands, and bit it hard. It made people hungry just by looking at her.

Even the three older sisters ate voraciously, not to mention Erbao, Qin Dajun and others.

That night, except for grandpa, grandma and Qin Dabao, everyone else had diarrhea. They hadn't had any oil in their stomachs for a long time, so this was a good way to clear their intestines.

Qin Dabao also tossed and turned all night just to take care of little Niuniu. Now he ran to the township clinic and bought some medicine for diarrhea. After his family took it, they finally calmed down.

The next day was the day when my cousin Goudan was getting engaged. In the countryside, engagement is just like getting married, except for the wedding banquet and the bridal chamber. In fact, it is just a meeting of the two families.

Goudan's father Qin Dadi has been dead for eleven years, leaving behind a widow and a son and a daughter. Qin Dadi's father is the nephew of Lao Qintou. There is another important reason. Qin Dadi was killed by the enemy in order to protect Qin Qingyou, so Qin Qingyou must come back to help his grandson Goudan get married.

Qin Dabao knew that today's engagement would not be successful. Not only would it not be successful, but it almost resulted in a loss of life. He wanted to speak out, but was afraid that his words would not carry weight, so he could only take it one step at a time.

Qin Dabao held little Niuniu in his arms. Little Niuniu looked listless. She put her little head weakly on her brother's shoulder, looking pitiful.

Qin Dabao patted his sister tenderly. He hesitated for a moment, put Niuniu on the kang, kissed her little face, and covered her with a quilt.

Carrying the gun, Qin Dabao went to the outer room. Grandma and mother were boiling water and preparing to make big pancakes.

Qin Dabao told his mother that he was going to the woods to catch a rabbit for his sister and would come back to make soup.

Lu Xiu'e hesitated for a moment. She always felt that her son seemed to have grown up suddenly since he was drowned. Not only did he become much calmer, but he also exuded a confident temperament.

After a few instructions, she warned Qin Dabao that if he dared to go into the mountains alone again, she would definitely break one of his legs. Qin Dabao quickly agreed. He had just been reborn and had been beaten twice in less than two days. He didn't dare to challenge his mother's bottom line.

. . . . .

When Qin Dabao came down from the mountain carrying two hares and a pheasant, Qinjiagou was in chaos. He knew what was going on, but he was too lazy to watch the fun.

Only grandma and Niu Niu were at home. Niu Niu still looked listless. Qin Dabao kissed his sister and then hurried to make chicken soup for her.

The pheasants in this season are very thin. After removing the feathers and cleaning the internal organs, they weigh only a little over one pound.

Qin Dabao can cook, and he is quite good at it. He learned this in his previous life in order to take care of his younger sister.

As soon as the chicken was put into the pot, his mother and second aunt and old aunt came back chattering. The three old ladies looked indignant, but in Dabao's opinion, they just wanted to watch the fun.

However, when people hibernate in the north, the men and women spend their days gossiping and talking nonsense.

When Lu Xiu'e saw her son cooking, she was surprised. In her impression, her son did nothing but eat and study. Now that he was suddenly cooking, if she was not his biological son, she would have thought that Qin Dabao had become a different person.

Qin Dabao rolled his eyes and dodged the second and old aunts' attempts to stroke his hair. He was not a cat, so why were they stroking him?

The three sisters-in-law in the room were talking to the old lady one after another about Goudan's engagement today, which caused the old lady to be surprised.

Qin Dabao curled his lips while chopping the rabbit. He knew what was going on. Wasn't it just that the woman changed her mind at the last minute and asked for an additional twenty kilograms of corn flour as a betrothal gift?

This kind of thing happened more often in later generations. When the bride was about to be picked up, her parents would ask for an additional betrothal gift, otherwise the bride would not get on the wedding car.

This kind of bloody plot has existed since ancient times and is no longer new.

The old lady in the room slapped her thigh and cursed: "What the hell is this? Didn't we agree on ten pounds of corn flour and five yuan for the betrothal gift? Why do you do whatever you want?"

"That's right, the betrothal gift was already agreed upon. Suddenly increasing it, and increasing it by so much, isn't that just kidding me?"

"Mother, what my sister-in-law said is right. This woman is asking for too much. She wants another 20 kilograms of corn flour. If you don't give it to her, she won't get married. She won't return what she gave before. Isn't this bullying?"

"Isn't that bullying? Thirty kilograms of corn flour is enough to marry two wives."

"What should we do?" The old lady sighed. Goudan's mother was an orphan and a widow. She had wanted to find a wife for her son as soon as possible, but the process was full of twists and turns. There were obstacles at every step. Finding a wife was harder than seeking Buddhist scriptures.

"What can we do? When my father and the others were discussing it, the girl's brother insisted on increasing the betrothal gift. No matter how much Goudan's mother begged, it was useless. Finally, Goudan got anxious and started fighting with the girl's brother. Goudan was so young, and the girl's brother hit him on the head, leaving a cut that was bleeding profusely."

"Oh my god! How's Goudan? Are your elder brother and his family dead? Are you letting people bully our Qin family like this?"

"Goudan is fine, but my uncle got really angry and had Dazhuzi arrest the man who beat him up. He'll send him to the commune if he doesn't give an explanation."

Qin Dabao knew what was going on. The woman saw that life in Qinjiagou was OK and her son was also looking for a marriage proposal, so she wanted to make a fortune by taking advantage of the girl to make up for the betrothal gift her son had paid for the proposal.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. The key is that the betrothal gift was agreed upon in advance. As a result, when the in-laws are about to get engaged, you increase the price. This is very disrespectful.

Besides, there is a shortage of food everywhere now. Thirty kilograms of corn flour is really a lot. If you take it to the black market, it will cost fifty or sixty yuan. Who in the countryside can afford such a large amount of dowry when marrying a wife nowadays?

This marriage is definitely not going to happen. They've already fought each other, so what's the point? Even if it happens, how can I not feel uncomfortable?

After a while, Qin Qingyou also came back. He had asked for two days off from the factory and had to go back after lunch. He didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters.

Qin Dabao was also anxious to go back. He had to go to the black market to sell all the wild animals in the space. If this reborn person with a cheat was short of money, his family would laugh at him.

Erbao stayed in Qinjiagou. There were so many playmates here that the little guy didn't want to leave.

Grandpa and grandma held their little granddaughter and pulled their eldest grandson, reluctant to let them go. Qin Qingyou, who was standing by, had long been accustomed to it. These days, sons can never compare to grandsons.

After going out, they had to walk six or seven miles in the cold wind to catch a bus. Qin Dabao wrapped his sister in his arms, preferring to freeze himself rather than let his sister get cold.

It is really painful to go out in this winter, especially when waiting for the bus. I stamp my feet in the cold and my snot is frozen into icicles. The bus is slowly coming towards me.

It was rush hour, and Qin Dabao held his sister in his arms, and his father protected his mother, and they finally made it home in the crowded crowd.

In the ear room, lying on the heated kang with his legs stretched out, Qin Dabao couldn't help but moan, it was so comfortable.

He then entered the space and was pleasantly surprised to find that in just a dozen hours, the crops and vegetables on the black soil had grown tall.

Qin Dabao had lived in the countryside until he was ten years old. He was no stranger to farming. According to the growth of the crops, they would be ready for harvest in two days. This discovery made him so excited that he couldn't sleep.

But he had to take a nap, because he had to go to the black market in the middle of the night to sell the wild boar. He was too poor, and this was the only way to make money.

After coming out of the space, he fell asleep in a daze.
