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

Liu Xiuqin cooked a large pot of noodles.

Qin Qiming fiddled with the new weapon, smelled the fragrance, and walked over with a grin.

"Mom's cabbage noodles smell so good!"

Liu Xiuqin ladled a bowl of noodles for Qin Qiming in a large bowl, and half of the noodles in the pot were instantly gone.

"Mom, give me less, I can't finish too much."

Liu Xiuqin: "You're still growing now. Everyone says that boys can still grow even at eighteen."

Qin Qiming thought about it and agreed.

No wonder his mother kept feeding him more, hoping he would grow taller.

Qin Qiming is nearly 1.8 meters tall, which is considered very tall in the village.

"Mom, I'm going to the county town to see Huimin in a little while. Is there anything I need to bring?"

Liu Xiuqin immediately shook her head: "No need, we have everything we need at home now."

Qin Qiming smiled and took another sip of noodles.

Mom's noodles are especially delicious.

The little girl was also enjoying her meal nearby.

After the meal, Qin Qiming went to check out the hunting cave.

They found they had caught a few rabbits and took them to town to sell.

After putting the money from selling the wild rabbit into his pocket, he rushed to the hospital.

The hospital is a small complex of three-story buildings; although it has several buildings, none of them are very tall.

Qin Qiming arrived at Min's ward and found her chatting with a nurse.

"I plan to be discharged from the hospital and return to Yangguan Forest Area."

"Don't joke around. You have mild to moderate frostbite. You'll need at least two more days of IV fluids, otherwise you're likely to suffer long-term effects."

“I don’t have enough money for hospitalization, so I have to leave.” Min frowned her beautiful brows.

“Stay here, we’ll talk again in two days. I’ll pay for your medical expenses during this time.”

Qin Qiming's voice came from behind the nurse and **Min.

The nurse turned around in surprise, while Min looked somewhat embarrassed: "Qiming... this isn't right... you've helped me so much."

"Nothing, have you forgotten what we said last night?" Qin Qiming said as he handed her a lunch. "Eat up."

Min saw the lunch and, perhaps because her appetite had increased since her illness, felt particularly hungry. A smile appeared on her face; she couldn't refuse.

"Why is there only one serving? Aren't you going to eat it?"

"I've had noodles at home, and they were delicious, so I prepared a serving for you."

Sensitive and moved, she said, "You're so wonderful, I really want to repay you with my body."

She is very confident in her appearance.

Last night, after Qin Qiming took her to the hospital, she was in a good mood.

Because a nurse told her that her boyfriend was very handsome.

Her boyfriend...

She felt happy.

His gaze couldn't help but fall on the handsome Qin Qiming several times.

Only then did we sit down to eat noodles.

Not long after we finished eating, Min's younger brother arrived.

He and his sister are usually cared for at school and only go home during winter and summer vacations.

There have been many things going on in the Yangguan Mountain area this winter, and Min was delayed until yesterday.

As a result, while preparing to return to the city, he froze and fainted in the woods, where he was rescued by Qin Qiming.

Last night, she called her neighbor, explained the situation, and offered her some benefits in exchange for taking care of her younger siblings.

"Xiao Xu, don't go running around like this in the future. Aren't you afraid of running into human traffickers?"

Min pretended to be angry.

The younger brother patted his chest, like a little man: "Sis, I'm fourteen already, what am I afraid of? If we really run into human dealers, who knows who will sell whom."

"You... you've grown up and your wings have hardened, so you dare to talk back to your sister now, huh?"

"Hehe, sis..."

After chatting for a while, Min urged Chen Xu to go back and do his winter vacation homework, telling him that she was fine and not to worry.

Qin Qiming thought for a moment and suggested sending the person back.

After dropping the person off at home, he went to get some flour and a bag of malted milk powder, and then went to his neighbor's house next door.

"anyone there?"

A middle-aged woman stepped forward in response: "Who is it?"

"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm a relative of your next-door neighbor. She's sick and hospitalized, and she needs your help looking after her two children for the next couple of days. Could you please make some pancakes and vegetable soup for her? This is malted milk powder..."

The woman's eyebrows shot up with delight: "Huimin called me last night and told me to give it to her and take good care of it."

"What's your name, sister-in-law?"

"Oh, my name is Wang Xiuqiu. You must be Huimin's boyfriend?"

Qin Qiming smiled slightly upon hearing the word "partner" and did not deny it.

After all, their relationship was made clear last night, and they decided to start as boyfriend and girlfriend.

After leaving his neighbor's house, Qin Qiming bought some more eggs and delivered them back to Min's house.

"Did you go buy eggs?"

Chen Xu stared at the egg in his hand and swallowed hard.

"Yes, I also visited the neighbor next door and asked that woman to take care of you and your brother."

"Wang Xiuqiu?"

"Ah."

"She only cares about personal gain. Did you give her any benefits?"

Malted milk powder.

“You are very generous. Thank you for helping my sister. I am willing to work for you to pay off her medical expenses.”

"Willing to do anything?"

"Correct."

"You little rascal..." Qin Qiming laughed, "What can you do?"

Chen Xu: "Doing odd jobs, taking care of the children..."

"Okay, we'll talk about it later. I'm heading back now."

After everyone left, Chen Xu couldn't wait to boil some eggs; he was starving.

"Brother, I think this Qin Qiming is much better than Ma Wen."

Little Xia wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

Chen Xu peeled a freshly boiled egg and put it in his sister's bowl.

"Why do you say that?"

“Think about it, Marvin always comes empty-handed. When has he ever brought us eggs? He even gave the neighbor malted milk powder so she could take care of us.”

Chen Xu said thoughtfully, "If my eldest sister marries into a mountain village, we'll all go and live there with her."

……

As soon as Qin Qiming returned home, Liu Xiuqin pulled him aside to take his measurements.

While measuring, he kept saying, "**Min is a good girl."

Unfortunately, the Qin family is poor and cannot afford to delay the girl's future...

Life is getting better day by day. As for what's lacking, Qin Qiming can slowly add it up as he hunts more in the future.

"Mom, I have enough clothes, so I don't need to make any more. I plan to go to the river tomorrow to break the ice and catch some fish to eat."

Liu Xiuqin sighed: "Xiaoming, don't think I'm nagging, but when I was a child, too many hunters died in the mountains. They were all expert hunters with a wealth of experience. Even veteran hunters with more than ten years of experience ended up with nothing but bones. You absolutely must not go deep into the mountains alone."

"Mother, don't worry, I promise I'll just hunt some rabbits around here and won't go deep into the area."

Liu Xiuqin laughed, "That's good then. Go and gather some firewood. We've smoked quite a bit of leather, so we won't have any firewood to start a fire tonight. I'll also have to prepare a leather coat for you with Xiao Xiuer tonight. It's too cold in the mountains; even if you don't encounter any wild beasts, you could easily freeze to death."

Qin Qiming nodded, "Mm!"

Then he turned to Qin Qixiu, who was smoking hides, and patted her head, saying, "Brother, go gather firewood."

After saying that, I packed my gear and headed out.

Weapons must be carried when going up the mountain in case of encountering wild animals.

When Qin Qiming was collecting firewood, he deliberately chose dry, withered branches, as they were easier to ignite.

But while he was focused on gathering firewood, he unknowingly wandered far away.
