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

"What am I going to do today? I have to get home!"

"No way, you're not going back tonight. You'll be staying at my uncle's place for the night, and you can leave tomorrow!"

Wang Laoliu swallowed hard: "I haven't even figured out what to do for dinner yet. There's something I need to tell you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Qin Qiming said to Wang Laoliu, "Come on, let's go to the kitchen and I'll make you a bowl of noodles!"

"I have a buddy of mine who seems to have a bicycle voucher, but he's asking for a pretty high price. Do you want it?"

"How many?"

At this moment, the water in the pot was bubbling away, and Qin Qiming threw in some minced meat.

He wants two thousand.

Qin Qiming gripped his chopsticks tightly: "A bicycle ticket only costs around five hundred, how dare he ask for so much?"

Wang Laoliu reached out and touched his chin, looking troubled: "I told him I'd go and get back to him after asking you. Do you want it or not? If not, it'll be hard to run into him again. This thing is hard to get."

Qin Qiming didn't need to hide anything from Wang Laoliu, since the two knew each other well.

"Okay, tell him to save the tickets for me. You can also make the trip. I'll get you the money in a bit, and you can buy them for me. I'll leave them with you for now and pick them up another day."

Wang Laoliu's eyes narrowed. "Alright, I've taken care of this for you!"

Qin Qiming ladled out the noodles, which contained a lot of meat. Wang Laoliu felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at them.

Wang Laoliu understood that Qin Qiming treated him very well, which moved him deeply.

"Maybe I should go home tonight."

Qin Qiming shook his head: "It's not safe. Although most of the way home is through village roads, there may be wild animals roaming at night. You can't take the risk alone."

Wang Laoliu ate a bowl of hot noodles, and Qin Qiming gave him money and led him to Liu Qingsong's house to stay.

Bicycles were a rarity back then, and Liu Xiuqin, fearing they would be stolen, pushed them inside the house.

Liu Qingsong arranged for Wang Laoliu to stay in Liu Zhu's room, which was considered a proper settlement.

Qin Qiming didn't go home; instead, he went to set a trap.

Meanwhile, in the county town, Wang Laoliu's wife, Ma Guizhi, waited for quite a while, muttering under her breath: "That damned fellow, he's probably off drinking somewhere again. It's past midnight and he's nowhere to be seen!"

My little girl asked, "Is Daddy not coming home tonight?"

Ma Guizhi sighed, "Well, let's go to sleep. We'll see your dad tomorrow."

As he spoke, he blew out the oil lamp.

In Wang Laoliu's words, although our family is a bit better off financially, we can't let people see us sleeping with an oil lamp lit.

Furthermore, kerosene required coupons to purchase. In those days, what didn't require coupons?

Ma Guizhi held her daughter and quickly fell asleep.

At four in the morning, Wang Laoliu was woken up by Qin Qiming: "It's time to get up and go back. I caught three fat rabbits. Weigh them."

Wang Laoliu got up in a daze and went home with Qin Qiming.

Liu Xiuqin weighed Qin Qiming's dead rabbits; the three weighed about eighteen jin (approximately 4.5 catties).

Because it was a dead rabbit, it wouldn't fetch a good price.

It costs three yuan per jin, totaling fifty-four yuan.

When Wang Laoliu was about to pay, Qin Qiming said, "Just give me fifty yuan. Use the remaining four yuan to buy some food for your daughter as a thank you for your help."

Wang Laoliu laughed happily: "Hey, then I won't be polite, thank you!"

Liu Xiuqin felt a little sorry for Qin Qiming giving up four yuan, but she didn't say anything.

After paying Qin Qiming fifty yuan, Wang Laoliu left with the rabbit.

Qin Qiming went back to his room and continued sleeping while holding Min.

Min smelled Qin Qiming's unique scent and found a comfortable sleeping position in his arms.

She was like a kitten, especially tender and sweet.

Qin Qiming stayed up all night yesterday setting traps to hunt, and he was too tired. Otherwise, he would have definitely done *that* to her repeatedly, even though it was outside, it would have been enough to temporarily satisfy his desires.

When we parted ways with Wang Laoliu, he asked for a package ticket, but Wang Laoliu said he would have to wait a bit longer because package tickets are hard to come by.

While sleeping, Qin Qiming kept his hands still and dared not move them randomly.

Min's waist was soft and supple, and her hair, which she had just washed yesterday, emitted a faint fragrance that was very attractive.

She noticed that the man beside her, who had been so passionate just moments before, was now holding her tightly, and soon his breathing returned to normal as he drifted off to sleep.

Min almost fainted.

Qin Qiming did not plan to have children early.

Min also understood this, otherwise she would have doubted her own attractiveness.

She looked at Qin Qiming sleeping soundly; his handsome face was very attractive.

Wang Tiantian was one of them. She would often steal glances at Qin Qiming, her eyes filled with an inscrutable light.

Ma Lianhe told her about this.

Min works as a teacher and doesn't know what Wang Tiantian looks like working in the fields, but Ma Lianhe's description is very detailed.

**Min must be vigilant.

Now, seeing Qin Qiming come to her room to sleep early in the morning, she felt unusually at ease.

Clearly, Qin Qiming had no interest in Wang Tiantian.

At seven o'clock, the village's wake-up bell rings to wake up those who are prone to oversleeping, so as not to be late for work.

Soon, smoke began to rise from the village chimneys.

Min had already prepared breakfast, and the children sat down to eat after washing up.

county seat.

After selling the wild rabbit and getting the cash, Wang Laoliu went to find a friend who had a bicycle ticket.

After paying, I received the bicycle ticket.

He treasured the ticket, carefully hiding it and covering his pockets with both hands as if it contained a precious gem.

Afterwards, he rode his bicycle home, hid the ticket in what he considered a safe place, and then began to eat breakfast.

At this moment, his wife came over, looking displeased: "Where did you sleep last night?"

Wang Laoliu chuckled and said, "Hey, last night I spent the night at Qiming's uncle's house."

"Huh? Really?"

"How can it be false?"

Ma Guizhi pursed her lips, a hint of teasing in her voice: "You didn't go off to some back alley to have some fun, did you?"

"No, that's not true. You're the only one in my heart, really!"

Wang Laoliu said, "Ever since I started working with Qin Qiming, I've become much more restrained and rarely venture into those back alleys anymore."

Ma Guizhi was displeased and snorted, "Hmph, let's see how you perform later. If you satisfy me, I'll believe you!"

Wang Laoliu smiled wryly, "Wife, I just rode my bicycle back from Liuye Village and then helped Qin Qiming get bicycle tickets. I'm exhausted."

"If you're going to do it, then do it; if not, get out!" Ma Guizhi said angrily.

"Hey, let's go to the bathroom!"

Ma Guizhi stretched out her hand, and Wang Laoliu gripped it tightly like a little eunuch, his face full of distress.

Oh well, I guess I'll just consider it an extra ride.

Otherwise, if your wife gets angry, the consequences could be disastrous!

Not long after, Wang Laoliu felt as if he was experiencing a final burst of energy before death, and then he was so exhausted that he collapsed!

The child is sleeping, so we can only use the bathroom.
