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

Chapter 119 It took two hours to turn the fire to a low flame.

Chen Xu glanced at Xia and burst into laughter.

"Third place in the end!"

Qin Qixiu immediately glared at Chen Xu.

"Brother Chen Xu, please don't talk about Huixia like that anymore. If she's unhappy, I'll be unhappy too."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about her anymore."

Xia was depressed.

I feel like my own brother listens to Qin Qixiu...

Xia scratched her head, and Qin Qixiu took her hand and led her inside.

"Don't blame Brother Chen Xu, let's not hold it against him, let's go."

Xia was indeed a little angry.

Because of Chen Xu's expression, it seemed like he looked down on her a little.

It made her feel bad.

Seeing that Xia looked like she was about to cry, Chen Xu quickly said...

"Okay, it's not the end. Don't be sad. If you cry, Qixiu will probably scold me in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Xia burst into laughter through her tears.

"Let Qixiu scold you!"

Qin Qixiu: "A man should be like my second brother, never making a girl cry, otherwise he's not a good man!"

Indeed, when the two siblings were with their older sister, they would often secretly hear Min crying softly in her room.

But after coming here, Min smiled more and more.

There was no more secret crying.

He didn't look worried at all.

Moreover, Min showed them even more care.

Chen Xu: "I'm not going to say anything more. Let's go do our homework?"

"Brother, are you afraid of Qixiu?"

Qin Qixiu glanced at Chen Xu.

"No."

Chen Xu quickly ran up to the second floor.

Qin Qixiu was annoyed; she looked like a tiger.

Is it really that scary that she just glared at Chen Xu?

Xia: "Sister Qixiu, you have to protect me. I think my brother is afraid of you!"

Qin Qixiu reached out and gently patted Xia's hand.

"It's okay, he won't dare bully you. If he dares to insult you, I'll bite him!"

Xia swallowed hard.

Sure enough, Sister Qixiu is fierce.

Bit Chen Xu?

She didn't even dare to think about it.

The three children were doing their homework, and as the evening approached, they started playing around.

Blindfold Chen Xu with a red scarf and then make him catch people with his eyes closed.

If you manage to catch them, you should tell them a short story.

They were having a blast here, while Qin Qiming on the first floor was entertaining Qin Kang.

"Brother Kang, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

"Uncle Yao has already prepared the anesthetic and poison, which I brought with me this time. We can start preparing for the leopard's matter now."

Qin Qiming was taken aback when he heard this.

"Isn't Uncle Yao still not fully recovered? How could he possibly concoct these things?"

"He gave the order, and I went to lend a hand."

"So when are we going into the mountains?"

"Don't rush, wait a bit, we need to patrol the mountains for a few days first."

Xie Jiakang puffed on his pipe.

"Let's get everything ready first, then we'll go to other villages in the mountains to inquire about the situation. Once things are settled, we'll go to Majia Village and have Quanxue lead the way. There's been some activity at his house. It'll only take a couple of days, so let's give him some time to prepare."

"to make!"

After Qin Kang left, Qin Qiming polished all the walking sticks he had made.

After all, if we're going to take everyone deep into the mountains to dig taro, we need to make all the necessary preparations in advance for protection.

Early the next morning.

Qin Qiming placed the walking sticks outside halfway up the mountain and gave one to each member of the guard team.

To prevent anyone from finding it unsuitable, he made a few extra as spares.

However, he also considered using an iron bar.

However, considering that going into the mountains is physically demanding, carrying an iron bar would consume even more energy.

Moreover, the iron bar is very heavy and inconvenient to use.

The guards were well aware that there was still no sign of rain.

If people don't venture deep into the mountains to dig for taro, the number of people who starve to death in winter will increase dramatically.

Despite the fact that many people have already starved to death, the people of the mixed-surname village are not panicked.

Because of Qin Qiming.

They all believed Qin Qiming's description of the taro field, believing that there was enough food there for the whole village to get through the winter.

Soon, it was time for Taohe to take a vacation.

That day, Qin Xiaotian got up early and started frying fragrant twisted dough sticks.

He carefully packed it in a small cloth bag, then stood at the village entrance waiting anxiously.

She looked up at the sun and estimated it was almost eight o'clock.

Just then, a clear bicycle bell rang out.

Then Tao He appeared riding a bicycle.

Qin Xiaotian laughed so hard her body trembled, and said reproachfully, "Why did you take so long to arrive?"

Tao He stopped his bicycle steadily in front of her, his long legs stepping off the bike and supporting him on the road.

"I almost forgot, I'm so sorry!"

Qin Xiaotian pretended to be angry: "You could forget something so important? It seems you don't value me!"

"How could I? I've been so busy lately, I almost forgot I was coming to the mixed-surname village to find you."

Qin Xiaotian chuckled.

"It's good that you're here. Let's go sit by the river and eat some fried dough twists."

Tao He was stunned.

Qin Xiaotian's choice of location is not good at all, a small river?

“The river is all dry, what are you looking at?” Taohe said.

"Then let's sit at the foot of the mountain."

"That works too." Tao He nodded.

The two of them pushed the bicycle together, laughing and chatting all the way to the foot of the mountain.

They found a smooth rock and sat down side by side.

"Taohe, try this! I specially fried these twisted dough sticks for you this morning, they smell amazing!"

Qin Xiaotian said with anticipation.

Tao He smiled gently, the corners of his mouth turning up.

"Okay, I'll try it right away."

As he spoke, he gently picked up a twisted dough stick and took a small bite.

"Mmm, it smells delicious, crispy and tasty, really good."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotian's cheeks instantly flushed with a shy blush, and she smiled like a newly blossoming flower.

Meanwhile, Min is preparing courseware.

Seeing Tao He and Qin Xiaotian hiding at the foot of the mountain, I felt there was something wrong between them.

Suddenly, she remembered what Qin Xiaotian had confessed to her...

Qin Xiaotian has a special feeling for Tao He.

Whenever I see him, I feel especially comfortable.

Qin Qiming was chopping firewood in the courtyard.

Qin Qixiu rushed back, saying she wanted to eat zongzi (sticky rice dumplings)!

Qin Qiming chopped a piece of firewood with force and said, "Well, Qixiu wants something good to eat again?"

Qin Qixiu smiled broadly: "Brother, what do you think?"

"Okay, let Mom prepare it today and cook it tomorrow. We can eat it tonight."

Liu Xiuqin chuckled: "You, Qixiu, are always thinking about food. These zongzi aren't so easy to come by. You're being silly. I'll go see if we have any ration coupons for red dates. If we're making zongzi, we need to prepare some red dates, otherwise they won't taste good if they're not sweet."

Shen Shuan exclaimed excitedly, "That's great! We can eat zongzi tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll go soak the glutinous rice now."

The next day, Liu Xiuqin asked the village chief for a day off and went to buy red dates.

Next, boil the bamboo leaves in water until they soften, and then you can start wrapping the rice dumplings.

Liu Xiuqin works quickly; after wrapping the zongzi, she put them in a pot to cook.

A large pot of zongzi was cooked for a full two hours before being turned down to a simmer.
