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

"I was afraid the bandits would ambush me at the exit of the mountain, so I secretly went to check it out a few days ago. The bandits' den hasn't been seen for a while now, so I guess they've been taken care of?"

"The hero who dealt with the bandits was none other than Qiming!"

"Him? Unbelievable!"

"It wasn't just me, but also the other brothers in the militia. Little Sweetie is really something, she actually managed to survive in the mountains all by herself for eight years!"

Qin Tian sighed, "I almost lost my life several times. We didn't dare to light a fire in the mountains. Those were really tough days."

Qin Qiming nodded. "It must have been really tough for you to survive in the wild for eight years."

Qin Tian was arranged to spend the night in a side room of the village chief's house.

Qin Qiming then returned the way he came.

After taking a shower, Qin Tian dried her hair with a brazier.

"Brother, that young man I met earlier was pretty nice. Do you think we could get together?" Qin Tian asked softly.

"No, Huimin and Qiming have already registered their marriage, so don't even think about it."

"Oh, I was just asking, I didn't mean anything by it."

Qin Tian was back at the village chief's house, her heart still pounding. At least she could go back to her own home.

But in the middle of the night, she heard the village chief and his sister-in-law whispering to each other.

"What did you say? We'll support her? What if she can't make a living on her own?" The village chief's wife was clearly angry.

The village chief sat on the kang (a heated brick bed): "Keep your voice down. You don't understand. Xiaotian is my eighth sister. I'd be happy to support her for the rest of my life."

The village chief's wife looked unwilling: "You'll support us? Are you abandoning our family?"

The village chief looked displeased: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"If you're going to raise it, it will only drink thin porridge every day from now on. Don't even think about eating meat anymore."

Upon hearing this, the village chief remembered what Qin Qiming had told him on the way, and thought that he really needed to find an honest man for Qin Tian to marry as soon as possible.

"You should also hurry up and make arrangements. See if there are any honest young men of similar age on your family's side. Introduce them to Xiaotian and see if you can get her married sooner."

The village chief's wife turned around and took his arm. "It's not that I don't want Eighth Sister to stay a few more days, but if she doesn't get married, how will our family survive?"

The village chief frowned slightly, and his wife quickly snuggled closer to him.

"Don't be angry. If you insist on going up the mountain to find her today, she'll remember this kindness for the rest of her life!"

“I didn’t expect her to remember any kindness; I just wanted my eighth sister to live a good life.”

"Didn't you say that many people outside the mountains have been displaced?" the village chief's wife asked in a low voice.

"Yes, there are many homeless people outside, and food is in short supply. The situation is not good."

Qin Tian hid in the mountains for eight years, which made her hearing extremely sharp.

She finally understood why she went to Qin Qiming's house first after descending the mountain instead of going straight home.

She also understood why Qin Qiming suggested she get married as soon as possible on the way.

She wanted to get a good night's sleep, but worried about getting the bed and blankets dirty, so she simply put on her old clothes and went to find Qin Qiming.

early morning.

Qin Qiming pushed open the wooden door to the courtyard.

Just then, a round figure tumbled in from outside the door.

"Who is it?" Qin Qiming exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Tian struggled to her feet, dusted herself off, and said, "Qiming, it's me."

"Oh dear, Little Sweetie, aren't you staying at the village chief's house? How come you've come to my doorstep?" Qin Qiming asked in confusion.

Qin Tian sighed and said helplessly, "Qiming, my sister-in-law thinks I eat too much and she can't afford to feed me."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiming couldn't help but laugh: "Come in and talk first."

Qin Tian followed Qin Qiming into the courtyard.

She said the poor couldn't afford to feed me because I ate too much.

Qin Qiming smiled and comforted him, "Living in the mountains for a long time will naturally increase your appetite. But you can earn work points, and with work points you can get food."

Qin Tian smiled wryly and touched her rough skin: "I'm used to being wild in the mountains, I might not be able to do farm work."

"Can't handle farm work? What other skills do you have?"

Qin Tian's eyes lit up: "I can hunt!"

Qin Qiming joked, "Oh, are you planning to become a hunter like me?"

Qin Tian shook her head: "No, no, I can't be a hunter. After spending so much time in the mountains, the animals are very sensitive to me. They run away as soon as I get close."

Qin Qiming thought for a moment and said, "Don't be discouraged. Learn needlework from my mother first. She makes clothes for people now and can get several orders a month. The money she earns is enough to buy food for you to live on."

Qin Tian immediately replied excitedly, "I can do this. I've done it before, and I'm very familiar with it."

"Come on, I'll take you to my mom's room."

"it is good!"

Qin Tian followed closely behind Qin Qiming to the second floor, to Liu Xiuqin's room.

Qin Qiming gave Qin Tian a brief introduction, and Liu Xiuqin burst into tears: "You silly girl, you're so lucky! Sit down, I'll tell you the key points of making clothes."

Meanwhile, the village chief woke up early in the morning and found that Ba Mei was missing, so he searched for her everywhere.

Qin Qiming was afraid he would worry, so he came over specifically to tell him.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Little Sweetie is with my mother right now."

Upon hearing this, the village chief muttered, "She hasn't had breakfast yet; I have to go and bring her back."

Qin Qiming quickly stopped him: "Uncle, please don't go. I'll have Xiaotian learn to make clothes from my mother!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief laughed and said, "You little rascal, thanks!"

"I'll save some wolf bones for you later, Uncle Tian. You can soak them in medicinal wine and drink it; it's very nourishing!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief was overjoyed and praised Qin Qiming for being sensible.

Afterwards, Qin Qiming went home and began to deal with the wolf.

**Min should keep the wolf pelt safe, and also sort out the wolf heart, wolf liver, and other parts.

The next morning, Qin Qiming took the wolf to Zhang Peng and sold it.

Zhang Peng was generous and gave him a rounded-up amount of one thousand.

Qin Qiming happily gave each of his younger siblings a dollar as pocket money.

Chen Xu happily took Qin Qixiu and Xia Xia to Ma Lianhe's house.

Ma Lianhe would make snacks, such as bean cakes, which sold for only four cents each.

The children in the village love to buy her snacks.

Chen Xu and the others pooled their spare change together and went to Ma Lianhe, calling out warmly, "Sister-in-law, could you sell a little more and help us pack it up nicely?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lianhe's eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, just a moment!"

After saying that, Ma Lianhe picked up the oil paper and carefully counted the number of bean cakes.

"Chen Xu, you calculate how many you can buy if each of you contributes one yuan?"

Chen Xu squatted on the ground and started calculating with his fingers: "Three yuan, four cents each, we should be able to get seventy-five!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lianhe's face lit up with delight: "Wow, that's quite a lot! Okay, I'll take it to the mountainside for you in a bit."
