Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

"Min'er, you haven't eaten yet? Have you been waiting for me?"

"Yes, a great hero!"

Qin Qiming smiled and said, "Silly girl, don't wait next time. Just eat by yourself and don't worry about me."

"Did you have lunch?" Min asked with concern.

"We haven't eaten yet. Everyone's busy transporting things in the mountains, and they don't eat until very late."

"Why don't I move in with you?"

"No need, they'll just move people from the surrounding villages. I reckon it'll be over in a couple of days at most. There's a trial in the county town in a few days..."

"Okay, go sit down and eat. We can talk while we eat."

Then, the children scooped the rice into their bowls.

Following that, Min filled two large enamel basins with stewed chicken.

The chicken was braised at noon and then reheated in the evening.

Therefore, the edges of the chicken are slightly charred and have a wonderful aroma.

The children's hands and mouths were shiny with oil from eating.

Especially Xia, who grabbed a chicken leg and kept chewing it with her little mouth.

"Chen Xu really does seem like the right older brother."

"Okay, you'll just eat the chicken wings. You're so thoughtful!"

Both Min and Qin Qiming praised Chen Xu.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu's ears turned red: "The chicken wings smell pretty good too, they're all meat!"

Qin Qixiu quickly chimed in, "But I still prefer chicken drumsticks. They smell so good! Brother Xiaoxu, would you like to try my chicken drumsticks?"

Chen Xu chuckled: "If I really took a bite, wouldn't you be crying?"

Everyone laughed when Chen Xu said that.

Everyone enjoyed their dinner to the fullest.

After dinner, Qin Qiming had a good sleep; he was really exhausted these past few days.

The next morning, Min got up, brushed her teeth, applied toothpaste, and had a light, elegant fragrance on her.

It smells so good.

Qin Qiming felt a tickle in his heart when he smelled the fragrance, so he lowered his head and gently pressed his cheek against hers.

At this moment, Chen Xu came down from the second floor: "Sister, I want to get one too."

Qin Qiming was extremely embarrassed.

"Xiao Xu, once you have a wife, you can stick your face on her as you please, but only I can stick my face on your sister's!"

Chen Xu looked completely bewildered.

"What? I have to find a wife later?"

Chen Xu looked completely stunned!

Min patted his hand: "Did your clothes fall on the ground?"

Chen Xu: "Sister, it was Huixia. She threw my clothes on the ground and stepped on them, saying I didn't smell good and that I stank!"

Conditions in the countryside are indeed poor. People only wash their hands and feet briefly each night, but they can't leave their buttocks unwashed.

Qin Qiming: "I'll get you a basin of hot water so you can wash your private parts."

Chen Xu's face turned bright red: "I can do it myself, I don't need Qiming's help."

His pride made it unbearable for him to be criticized by his sister for having body odor; it was truly embarrassing.

Chen Xu filled a container with hot water, added some well water, and then took it to the toilet to wash himself.

Although the toilet is a flush toilet, it does not have a porcelain urinal.

It needs to be rinsed several times after each use to get it clean.

After Chen Xu finished washing up, he heard Qin Qiming calling him again.

"Xiao Xu, have some soap!"

Chen Xu was speechless and resignedly used the soap.

I rubbed it a few times on a cotton towel, then soaked it in clear water and washed it.

Hey, after this wash, I feel really refreshed.

Afterwards, Chen Xu rushed out of the house and ran straight upstairs, shouting, "Huixia, come and smell me! Doesn't my clothes smell nice now?"

Xia walked over, brought her nose close to his, and laughed, "Hey, Brother Xiang!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qixiu could no longer contain himself.

"Sister Huimin, I want to smell sweet too!"

Upon hearing this, Min immediately picked up the kettle and said, "You two come with me."

As he spoke, he led his two younger sisters into the restroom.

I carefully explained the cleaning method to the two little girls.

"Little girl, you have to be extra careful in winter. You have to wipe her gently and softly with a cotton towel, otherwise, those little white things might come knocking on your door."

Taking care of a little girl is sometimes more tiring than taking care of a little boy.

Fortunately, after Xia and Qin Qixiu washed themselves according to the method, they also smelled wonderful.

"This fragrance is so alluring!" Qin Qixiu took a deep breath.

"Absolutely! My nose was almost lured away by the fragrance!" Xia laughed so hard her eyes were almost slits.

At this moment, Liu Xiuqin is making summer clothes for the children with clean fabric inside the house.

Although summer is still a few months away, start making clothes now to make sure they're a little long enough for the kids to wear.

In this way, when summer arrives, the clothes will fit perfectly.

Wearing one less layer of winter clothing will allow you to smoothly transition into spring, so there's no need to make new spring clothes.

When Liu Xiuqin was making clothes, she thought that no matter how beautiful the clothes she made were, they were ultimately only suitable for children to wear.

Qin Qiming is a member of the mountain forest protection team, and he also has to hunt, shouldering multiple responsibilities.

He needed clothes that were durable, lightweight, and long-sleeved and long-legged, as short clothes were not suitable for moving around in the mountains and forests.

Min is already teaching at Yangguang Elementary School. If she doesn't have a few nice outfits to change into, people will laugh at her.

Thinking it over, Liu Xiuqin planned to go to the county town on the day of the criticism meeting, and after watching the meeting, she would make a few beautiful outfits for **Min.

After a few comfortable days, and with most of the supplies from the Green-Faced Demon's lair moved, Qin Qiming planned to go into the mountains to hunt some wild game.

As a result, while cleaning the gun, Liu Xiuqin rushed in from outside.

Qin Qiming looked puzzled: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Something terrible has happened in the production team! The granary has been ransacked by rats, and a lot of grain has been ruined!"

Qin Qiming frowned. "Don't they keep cats at the warehouse?"

"It's different. Those rats look like little calves, covered in red fur. I don't even know what they are, and they're not afraid of cats. Besides, there are only a few cats in our village, how can they possibly stop these guys!"

Liu Xiuqin felt a little panicked. "Some people in the village are thinking of sending you to take a look. You're smart, see if you can find a way to deal with these things."

Qin Qiming's lips twitched: "It's true I'm smart, but I'm not good at catching mice. This is a completely different matter. If all else fails, just poison them!"

"Rat poison is useless; rats eat it like candy."

Qin Qiming was stunned. Was that really true?

That's incredible, I have to go see it.

Qin Qiming immediately put on his coat, picked up his gun, and went to check the situation.

He had never seen such a large rat before.

If the rat infestation is not dealt with quickly, it could trigger an epidemic, the worst being the plague.

They'll eat all our food, so what will we eat?

Everyone else is struggling to make ends meet, but you're living a comfortable life. How can you not be envied?

Thinking of all this, Qin Qiming picked up his gun and went outside.

However, he did not notice that the white fox was silently following behind him.

It wasn't until they were close to the village that Qin Qiming realized the white fox had been following them from a distance.
