Village Party Secretary in the Period Literature (11)

The roe deer brought back by Duan Qingen and the others made the village lively again.

Ever since the seedlings in the fields have died, even though the villagers know that their food is enough, there is still a dull atmosphere lingering in the village.

After all, we all know that drought requires not only food but also water sources to worry about.

They can still produce water from their wells now, but it's hard to say in the future.

The second grandfather in the village often talks about how sad he was when he recalled the past.

Starved to death, thirsty to death, anyway, the severe drought when they were young left a deep impression on many old people.

Although the country is now stable, if there are any difficulties, they will definitely come to the rescue, but there are so many people, how can they be rescued.

During these times, many people in the village watched eagerly for a long time while fetching water, fearing that there would be no water in the well.

Almost every household has also begun to store water.

At this time, the only way to store water is in containers, such as the large tank in Duan Qingen's house.

It's really a big tank, big enough for an adult to get into.

During this period, Duan Qingen was busy thinking about whether everyone in his village should pool funds to build a water tower and dig the well deeper.

Raising funds means giving money.

No one in the village has an opinion in this regard. As long as they are not crazy or stupid, they should know how useful it would be if the village had a water tower to store water.

It just makes me feel a little uncomfortable to think that I still have to pay for it despite not getting any money from the sale this year.

At this time, the news that the pig hunting team had returned from hunting a roe deer was enough to shake the spirits of the villagers who had been dull for a long time.

The last time they were refreshed was when they shot a wild boar.

Although there is only one roe deer this time, the meat of an adult roe deer can be eaten by people of all ages. The pig hunting team always shares half of the prey with the person who kills it, and the remaining team members share it equally. With such a wild roe deer, the family can still eat it. More meat.

Suddenly, the villagers who had relatives in the pig-killing team were excited and happy.

Those whose relatives were not in the Pig Team were extremely envious and looked around eagerly.

An adult roe deer weighs at least one hundred kilograms. If it were fatter, it would weigh one hundred, three hundred and four.

The roe deer that Duan Qingen discovered and captured with his team members was not plump, but rather plump.

The three team members carried it all the way to the village with sweat on their foreheads.

The villagers gathered around the dead roe deer and kept watching.

"What's going on? How can we still catch the roe deer?"

"Qing En caught him."

One of the team members said, his tone full of admiration for Duan Qingen.

"Qing En caught such a big roe deer by himself?"

Mao Taohua was chatting when she heard a child running and said that the pig hunting team was back and brought back a roe deer, so she ran over.

As soon as I came over, I heard this sentence, and I became a little anxious. I quickly went to my son and pulled him up and down to look at him.

"I didn't kick you, did I?"

"No, I caught it in a trap. Mom, don't worry. I didn't even touch it before I caught it."

They are in the deep mountains. I heard that there were large ferocious beasts in the past. During famines, people were so hungry that they ran into the woods, and few people came out alive.

Because this mountain forest has become a dangerous and forbidden place among the local people.

But in fact, all the people in the village were farmers at that time, and no one knew how to hunt.

Even Qin Laoer, who can hunt now, was forced by his family to be self-reliant.

After all, it is said that there are ferocious beasts in the mountains, who dares to enter.

Duan Qingen felt that the reason why people walked into the forest during the famine and died there was because it was unlikely that they would be attacked by wild beasts.

After all, everyone said there were ferocious beasts, but no one had ever seen tigers or anything like that. Instead, there were many pheasants, rabbits, and roe deer.

The old man also mentioned that there seemed to be bears here in the past.

As for the ferocious and aggressive beasts, Duan Qingen searched through the county records and asked the old man everywhere before forming the pig hunting team, but he couldn't get any information.

Even if the old people don't go into the mountains themselves, they still grew up here. If there were really ferocious beasts in the mountains, wouldn't the elders tell them?

Had it not been confirmed that the risk factor was not high, Duan Qingen would not have formed a pig hunting team.

It can also be explained by those who went into the mountains and forests during famine and never came out again.

The reason why they went into the mountains and forests was because they didn't have enough to eat. They didn't even have enough food to eat. Naturally, they were so hungry that they were dizzy and found it difficult to run, let alone catch prey.

If the prey cannot be caught, the lucky ones will go home directly.

It is possible for unlucky people to be too hungry to walk.

And when they are left in this mountain forest forever, even if one of the ten people who go in does not come out, various rumors will start to spread in the village.

Duan Qingen never told the villagers these words, otherwise he would be a slap in the face if he really encountered a wild beast.

Seeing that Mao Taohua was still looking at him with worry, he told her how he caught her.

Almost no one comes to the mountain forest. Although herbivorous animals like roe deer know how to run away when they see people, they still have no fight.

Roe deer are very curious by nature. Even if they are frightened and run away, they will run back to the place after a while to see what happened.

Duan Qingen first prepared the tools, then made a sudden noise to scare the silly roe deer away, then led his people up to set up a trap and waited patiently nearby.

Sure enough, it returned to its original place stupidly after a while.

Everything after that was smooth sailing.

After Duan Qingen finished saying this, Mao Taohua breathed a sigh of relief, "This roe deer is really stupid."

After making sure that there would be no danger in catching a roe deer, she looked at the one placed on the ground, which looked like it had at least 100 pounds of meat, and her mind became active.

"Since this roe deer is so easy to catch, if we catch one every day, we will never lack meat to eat."

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" The young cadre was quite amused: "This kind of roe deer can't be seen from the outside. I was lucky to meet it today. How can I catch one every day?"

What Mao Taohua said before was actually the thoughts of most people present.

A roe deer has so much meat. If there is one every day, wouldn't their village eat meat until their stomachs are bloated every day?

Now when she heard Duan Qingen say no, she felt a little disappointed.

"Qing'en, if we can't catch it outside, can't we catch it inside?"

This time, it was Qin Laoer who took over the conversation. Compared with Duan Qing'en, he had the highest prestige in the hearts of the villagers for hunting: "How dare we go inside? The forest is too deep. When we first entered the forest, we had to tie a rope to the trees along the way, otherwise we were afraid that we would not be able to get out."

"And we don't know what's in there. If we encounter a big beast outside, we can still run back to the village quickly. If we encounter it inside, we can't run away."

As soon as these words came out, those who had children in the pig hunting team immediately stopped thinking about "catching a roe deer every day".

Of course, they were happy to have meat to eat, but it was not worth it if the meat cost the lives of their own children.

And those whose families had no one to join the pig hunting team couldn't hold back.

When the pig hunting team killed twelve wild boars and divided the pork, they were jealous but couldn't say anything. After all, Duan Qing'en had said before that all the men in the village who wanted to participate could participate, but they were just worried about the danger.

The pig hunting team occasionally shot down pheasants and rabbits, and sometimes they could bring back bird nests or birds shot down with homemade bows and arrows, but they were still envious.

But they could still comfort themselves that these prey were so small, and if everyone in the pig hunting team shared a little, they would be gone. Although the person who shot down the prey could get half, no one in their family knew how to hunt, so they definitely couldn't catch it.

As a result, now the pig hunting team actually brought down a roe deer.

Such a fat roe deer.

Look at this butt.

Look at this thigh.

Look at its head, although it is small, it is also meat.

Even if Duan Qingen took half, the remaining half would be shared by the pig hunting team.

This is no longer a matter of greed, it is greedy for both the mouth and the stomach.

Someone immediately asked Duan Qingen cautiously:

"Qingen, can our eldest son join the pig hunting team now?"

Fearing that Duan Qingen would not agree, she quickly added a few advantages of her son; "Don't look at my eldest son who doesn't talk much, in fact, he is very strong, works well, and is obedient. If he goes hunting with you, he will definitely come in handy."

Duan Qingen frowned as if he was in a difficult situation: "Aunt, it's not that I deliberately didn't let anyone in. It's mainly because we agreed at the time that the pig hunting team would only recruit people once, and never again."

The lady also guessed his reaction, but she was unwilling to accept it, so she could only try to say nice things:

"Aunt knows you are in a difficult situation. At that time, my eldest son actually wanted to go, but I stopped him. He and his brother are the only two boys in my family, and his brother is so "He is so young, I am afraid that if he joins the pig-killing team, it will delay the time for farming."

"Now the seedlings are dry, and the land can't be planted. Such a big boy stays at home all day. I am afraid that he will get sick. Qingen, Auntie has watched you grow up. Please be flexible and let him join the pig-killing team. It is not a good thing for such a big boy to stay at home all day."

When someone saw her say this, he also hurriedly followed: "Yes, Qingen, it was our fault that we didn't join. Now the land can't be planted. If we don't plant, my three sons will be idle and don't know what to do. Please recruit people again."

"Yes, recruit again. Our boy is in good health and won't hold you back."

As soon as this topic came out, for a while, those families who didn't join began to ask Duan Qingen to recruit more people.

The young cadre still looked embarrassed and distressed:

"Uncles and aunts, it's not that I'm not flexible. It's just that when we recruited people, these young men came here at the risk of their lives. We trained together and dug traps together. We suffered a lot in the beginning to get to where we are today."

"Now they suddenly say they want to recruit more people. If they really recruit people, the treatment of the later recruits will definitely be the same as the previous ones. This is a bit unfair to the current batch. After all, at the beginning, everyone was the same. We couldn't catch prey for a long time. Now we have experience and come back every day. It's not reasonable to recruit more people to share the prey at this time."

After these words came out, these people were silent.

Yes, when the pig hunting team was established, even if Duan Qingen showed them the drawings, it would definitely be wrong to say that there was no danger 100%.

They were afraid that their children would be in danger, so they stopped them from going.

As a result, the pig-hunting team has now stabilized and can hunt prey steadily every day. They let their children join in to get a share of the pie.

Just saying this kind of thing makes me feel quite shameless.

Someone suggested: "Otherwise, the people who can be recruited later will not share the prey together. They will be divided after a while. They will wait as long as you have been forming before dividing."

Duan Qing'en smiled bitterly: "That won't work. We all act together every day. They must do what we do. If we do it as you said, it will be okay for a day or two. As time goes by, it will be fine." Work regardless of prey, no matter who is willing to do so.”

"And to form this kind of team, you have to report the roster to the boss. I've told everyone before that you can't form it privately without a roster. Now even if I want to add people to the pig-fighting team, That’s not easy either.”

What I said is true.

Those who want their own family members to join the pig-killing team have no way to refute.

After all, what Duan Qingen said was true.

When he first formed the pig hunting team, he also said that everyone who participated had to be included in the list and reported. Those who wanted to participate later would not have this opportunity.

This won't work, and that won't work either.

For a time, the faces of these villagers, whose families were not in the pig hunting team, showed disappointment.

Is it possible that they really can only watch the pig hunting team in front of them, but can't participate?

The meat is right in front of you, how can you resist thinking about it.

"Qing'en, see if you can think of another way. My aunt has watched you grow up, and my boss played very well with you when he was young."

"Yes, Qing'en, my three sons are really suffocating at home every day. If we don't find something to do, I'm afraid they will all be ruined."

Seeing that her son had made it so clear and these people were still surrounding him asking questions, Mao Taohua immediately stood up to protect his son.

"Okay, okay, Qing'en is a cadre, and it's not easy to show favoritism. He made it so clear at the beginning, and there's nothing you can do if you don't participate."

Mao Taohua was more experienced in dealing with the villagers than Duan Qingen. After a while, she rescued Duan Qingen from the crowd and stood there talking.

Qin Laoer had been watching Duan Qingen fooling around with his arms folded with a half-smile. Now when he saw his friend coming out, he walked to him and bumped him with his elbow:

"What bad idea do you have?"

Duan Qingen also knew that he couldn't hide it from Qin Laoer.

Qin Laoer, how should I put it, compared to Duan Qingen, he is even less like a person of this era.

For example, if there is a pig at home, the villagers will choose to sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative.

As for Qin Laoer, he would choose to wipe the pig's neck secretly, and then send it to the city to be sold loosely.

Very adventurous.

Qin Laoer has always felt that he has a good relationship with Duan Qingen, not only because of Duan Qingen's character, but also because Duan Qingen's ideas are very close to his.

And since they broke off the engagement, they have become even closer.

For example, now, people in the village can be fooled by Duan Qingen, but Qin Laoer cannot.

He and Duan Qingen stayed far away from the crowd until no one could hear them anymore, then they said with a bad smile: "If you really want to recruit more people, the problems mentioned before are not problems. Why are you deliberately making so many excuses?" reject."

Duan Qing'en is the village party secretary, and he is very popular in the village. If he really doesn't want these people to participate, he can just move out of the list as a banner.

The most important thing is: "Before, you told me that we still had too few people in the pig-fighting team, and we didn't dare to go into the mountains. We were thinking of recruiting people. I thought you were going to take the initiative to tell the village to recruit people, but it turned out Now I'm begging you, why don't you let me in?"

Qin Laoer asked firmly: "Tell me, what bad idea are you holding back?"

Duan Qingens smiled politely; "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Although he didn't intend to hide it from Qin Laoer.

Qin Laoer was really curious: "What on earth do you want to do? It takes so much effort."

"You'll know in a few days."

Qin Laoer: "Why don't you just tell me now?"

Duan Qingen: "I'll tell you now, and I'll have to tell them again in a few days. It's such a waste of time and saliva. Water is so precious now, I can't bear it."

Qin Laoer: "..."

He looked at his friend speechlessly: "Why do I feel that since you married your wife, this fallacy seems to have become more and more common?"

"Each other."

Duan Qingen didn't let Qin Laoer wait too long. The next day, someone came to the door again.

This family is almost as unlucky as the Qin family.

Because his family, like the Qin family, sold grain, and no one in the family was fighting the pig team.

But compared to the Qin family who had no money at all, their family was still rich.

It's just that now food requires food stamps, and you can't buy much if you want. You can only borrow it from relatives, but they are poor relatives. Even if you borrow from four or five families, it is only enough to survive.

These are lean years, and we can’t do anything, and we don’t dare to do anything. The family obviously has strong labor force, but they can only sit at home and do nothing.

If this had been the case in previous years, at least there would have been other young men coming out to gather together, and the big guys would be idle together.

But now, most of the young men and women have gone up to the mountains to hunt. Not only do they have something to do, but they can also bring back prey.

The small group of them left felt uncomfortable trying to find something to do to pass the time.

He didn't want to stay idle at home. Being idle meant that he couldn't earn money or food, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Yesterday, he heard from his mother that the pig-hunting team was not recruiting, but he still wanted to give it a try. This year was not a good year. If he didn't find a way to join the pig-hunting team and bring the prey home, how hard it would be for his family.

This person said this to Duan Qingen, and then said that he really had no choice. Although he didn't have to do anything every day, he didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, he was worried.

Worried that his family would have a hard time in the future and worried about being hungry.

In the impression of the villagers, Duan Qingen has always been a good-tempered and easy-to-talk person. He is also gentle and polite. Although he has a higher education than the villagers, he has never shown any arrogance.

It is precisely because of this that this young man dared to come to the door.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the village party secretary, who always had a good temper, frowned slightly and showed a thoughtful expression.

He waited nervously, feeling that he didn't even dare to breathe.

Finally, after holding his breath, the young cadre spoke, with a hint of distress in his clear voice:

"Your situation should indeed be taken seriously, but I have also talked about the situation of the pig hunting team before. If you join now, it is unfair to the previous team members to share the prey. If you don't share the prey and don't have prey for several months, it will not be fair to you either."

The man hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can accept it."

"You can accept it now, but when the meat really comes, you watch others share it, but you don't have it, and you are so greedy for meat but still can't get it. Then you won't think so in your heart."

Duan Qingen said seriously, and the expression on the man's face immediately fell.

In fact, most of the villagers now can't read and write, and they are not very good at thinking.

Or think about it in a roundabout way. It's okay not to share the meat killed by others, and share half when you kill the prey yourself. This is definitely acceptable.

But the young man didn't expect this. He only has one thought in his mind now.

Regret.

Very regretful.

When Duan Qingen wanted to form a pig hunting team, he thought that hunting wild boars was unreliable and might cause injuries, and the pig hunting team also had the task of protecting the village.

He just farmed every day, why did he do all this mess?

Unexpectedly, the drought has really come, the land can no longer be planted, and the family is not enough food, so he can only find a way to add food to the family.

Perhaps his expression was too bitter, and finally moved the village party secretary. The young cadre showed an embarrassed look on his face and finally "reluctantly" spoke.

"Otherwise, have you counted how many people like you want to join the pig hunting team?"

No one would count this for a good reason.

The young man shook his head, "I didn't count, but those who are about my age want to join."

To be precise, the young men in the whole village are now divided into two categories.

One, those who are already in the pig hunting team.

Two, those who are not in the pig hunting team but want to join.

When he talked about this situation, Duan Qingen frowned even more, looking very "distressed".

After a long while, he hesitated and said, "It is definitely not possible to let you join the pig hunting team. Otherwise, I will apply to the higher authorities to form a water tower team. Isn't our village going to build a water tower? Those of you who want to hunt together can apply to join. When the water tower is built and there is nothing else to do, you can hunt with the pig hunting team in the name of the water tower team."

"And because you have contributed to the construction of the water tower, it is equivalent to making a contribution to the village. In the first half month, you can not share the prey caught by others, but you can take home half of the prey you catch. After half a month, you will have some experience and you can share it with everyone."

Seeing that the eyes of the young man in front of him were getting brighter and brighter, and he wanted to nod and agree immediately, Duan Qingen sighed.

"You should ask how many people will participate first. Building a water tower is also hard work, and there is no money and only one meal is provided. It will definitely be tiring for a while. You have to think clearly whether to participate or not. Also, I will make it clear in advance that this kind of team formation cannot be done for the third time, otherwise I don’t know what to say when the higher-ups ask about it."

"Hey! Hey! Okay, Brother En, don't worry, I will definitely participate this time!"

The young man didn't feel tired at all from building a water tower.

If Duan Qingen had said before that only one meal would be provided and then the water tower would be built, he might have hesitated whether to participate.

After all, this is physical work, and one meal is definitely not enough, and you have to go home to eat something.

But now, building a water tower is equivalent to joining the water tower team, which is equivalent to joining the pig hunting team, which is equivalent to being able to hunt and share the meat home.

It's a good deal! !

The young man ran out happily.

Duan Qingen, who was sitting behind his desk, slowly raised the corners of his mouth and showed a faint smile.

The main personnel for building the water tower are done!

***

The establishment of the water tower team went smoothly.

After all, with the lesson of the pig-beating team, the family couldn't plant the land, so this time, everyone was determined to participate.

After Qin Lao Da knew about this, he participated without discussing it with his parents.

He was still as honest and silent as before, but his wife left with the children and came back, which still affected him.

Especially after his wife and son came back, they could only drink the watery rice soup because the family sold the grain just to give it to Qin Xinbao.

Boss Qin can starve himself, but he cannot bear to see his children starve too.

In the past, when the whole family could still eat well, it didn't matter if he worked more, but now the whole family is drinking porridge, and Qin Xinbao is still like an uncle, taking his boyfriend with him to eat this at home. That one.

Qin's father didn't like them, but Qin's mother always thought that her daughter was getting married anyway, and she might not see her for a long time. Moreover, she still had a child in her belly, which was the time when she needed to eat well.

After all, it’s my daughter who has loved her for so many years. If her heart softens, won’t she loosen her grip?

Seeing Qin Xinbao eating chunks of meat, his son could only drink rice soup.

Seeing Qin Xinbao eating an egg a day, his son woke up from hunger in the middle of the night and cried softly.

Honest people also have tempers.

Knowing that a water tower was going to be built in the village and that those who joined would have to wait half a month to officially join the pig hunting team, Mr. Qin silently participated.

He waited until dinner at home to tell the news while eating.

Qin's mother was stunned: "Why don't you discuss this with your family!"

Qin Xinbao has always been self-indulgent, and she didn't notice that Boss Qin was dissatisfied with her these days. She agreed while picking up food for herself:

"Yes, brother, why don't you discuss this big matter with your family? I know you feel sorry for your sister-in-law, but you can't just listen to your sister-in-law. You must also listen to your parents."

Ever since she came back, Sister Qin had not given her a good look. She took it for granted that Sister Qin had instigated her.

Boss Qin was still as usual, eating his meal without raising his head: "Your sister-in-law doesn't know, I heard them say it myself, so I signed up."

"Didn't Mom say that yesterday? Building a water tower is so tiring. The sun is shining and you have to move bricks. You only have to take care of one meal a day."

Qin Xinbao frowned, wondering how his elder brother could be so stupid to participate in such a strenuous and strenuous activity as building a water tower.

Boss Qin: "I mainly go to the pig hunting team. After the water tower is built, I can hunt with the pig hunting team and bring meat home."

Qin Xinbao still disagreed: "Didn't you say that it takes half a month to divide the meat? Brother, if you really want prey, find a time to go directly into the mountains by yourself. If you really catch something, you can still carry it home."

Before Boss Qin spoke, Sister-in-law Qin threw her chopsticks first: "Qin Xinbao, what do you mean? Who doesn't know that there are many dangers in the mountains. Even if you don't run into wild boars, what if you run into a poisonous snake! If you bite one, you will be dead. , Your brother has always been working in the fields and doesn’t know anything. If he goes into the mountains by himself, isn’t he going to die? "

Qin Xinbao really didn't think so much. She usually only paid attention to what she wanted to pay attention to, so naturally she took it for granted.

But she didn't feel guilty at all for saying something like "Brother, go and die". Instead, she was angered by Sister-in-law Qin.

"I don't want my brother to endure hardships, and I want to give him some advice. Sister-in-law, can you stop thinking of people so bad?"

"You still don't want your brother to suffer?"

Sister-in-law Qin immediately laughed angrily.

When she returned to her parents' home, life was certainly not easy. In just a short period of time, she lost weight and looked older, but her anger against Qin Xinbao became even stronger.

She couldn't help it. She finally figured it out. If she didn't suppress Qin Xinbao, they would never be able to get up from their big house.

Now that they were all upset, she ignored Zhang Guang's presence and said directly: "My parents sold the food at home for you, and gave all the money to you. How long did it take for you to spend all the money?" Come to eat at home again. You made our whole family drink watery rice soup together, but I was comfortable eating eggs and meat. Your nephew was so hungry that he cried every night and you didn't feel sorry for him. If your brother hadn't No way, will he be willing to do hard work? Isn’t it because of you that he doesn’t want to endure hardship?”

Qin Xinbao's eyes suddenly widened in anger, and he stood up suddenly: "How could you say that!"

"Why, you dare to do it and don't dare to let others say it? I finally discovered that you are a bully and shy of the strong. Don't think that I won't dare to show you that you are getting married soon. Qin Xinbao, your brother has loved you since he was a child. , it’s really hurtful for you to do this.”

Sister-in-law Qin didn't even look at the ugly faces of her parents-in-law at the table. She got up and pulled her son away. Anyway, she and her son had finished eating.

Under Qin Xinbao's shocked and disbelieving gaze, Boss Qin silently put down his chopsticks and left the main room with his wife.

Qin Xinbao felt betrayed: "Mom and Dad, look at my brother!"

Qin's mother looked embarrassed, but Qin's father, on the other hand, still ate his meal as if nothing had happened, and said in a neutral tone: "Your sister-in-law is telling the truth. Because of you, the family now has no money or food. It’s right for her to be a little resentful, so don’t argue with her.”

Qin Xinbao had never heard of such words since she was a child. She had always been given to others, but this time, her father actually asked her to give in to her sister-in-law? ?

She was angry and wanted to speak, but her hand was held by Zhang Guang, who had been silent.

He almost forcefully pulled Qin Xinbao's hand and asked her to sit down.

Zhang Guang picked up a chopstick and put it into Qin Xinbao's bowl: "Let's eat, don't talk."

Qin Xinbao was angry, but he didn't want his boyfriend to see the joke, so he could only continue eating with anger.

To be honest, Zhang Guang has only lived in the Qin family for a short time, but he has witnessed the other side of Qin Xinbao and seen enough of the Qin family's jokes.

Looking at Qin Xinbao, who is completely different from the fairy-like style in school, Zhang Guang can clearly feel that his love for Qin Xinbao is gradually decreasing, and he even regrets having a relationship with her.

He can only tell himself now, forget it, anyway, his parents also need someone to take care of them, and Qin Xinbao has his child in her belly, so just accept it.

Now is the time when he needs to work hard, and it's not bad to have someone to help him with housework.

Although Qin Xinbao's ignorance of grains and never doing housework made him a little worried, he felt relieved when he thought of his mother's temperament.

Although he saw a joke, in fact, the more the Qin family and Qin Xinbao quarreled, the better it would be for him. Qin Xinbao's temperament would definitely not be willing to take care of his parents and handle housework honestly.

But if she broke up with the Qin family, the situation would be very different.

No one in the Qin family knows what Zhang Guang is thinking. Everyone, including Qin's wife, has a good impression of Zhang Guang. They think he is very sensible and treats Qin Xinbao very well.

Qin's wife once grumbled to her husband, how could Zhang Guang, with such good conditions, fall for Qin Xinbao.

Qin Laoda, who once told her not to say a bad word about Qin Xinbao, did not refute it. In fact, he was hurt by Qin Xinbao just like Qin's father.

He loved her, spoiled her, and thought about her since she was a child, but she didn't take him as her brother to heart at all.

The mountains are dangerous, which is something the whole village knows, but Qin Xinbao can let his brother go to the mountains alone to take risks.

Qin Xinbao didn't stay in the Qin family for too long. Now, except for Qin's mother, who still loves her a little, the rest of the Qin family, including Qin Dahu, don't like her very much.

After all, Qin Dahu lived with his mother at his grandmother's house for a few days before, and saw with his own eyes how the aunts of his friends treated them.

Not only did she speak in a nice voice, but she would also think of her nephew when she had something delicious.

Looking at Qin Xinbao again, she never thought that Qin Dahu would not say anything, and even asked a child like Qin Dahu to give in to her.

Qin Dahu was young, but he was not a fool. Since he came back from his grandmother's house, he was no longer as close to Qin Xinbao as before.

Qin Xinbao herself didn't feel anything, and still wanted this and that, until she was taken away by Zhang Guang, the whole Qin family, including Qin's mother, breathed a sigh of relief.

When there was surplus food at home, Qin Xinbao wanted to eat this and that. Although others were jealous, they didn't feel much resentment because they were full.

But when she was hungry and people who did nothing could eat fish and meat, she couldn't suppress her resentment.

Qin Lao Da also breathed a sigh of relief.

He devoted himself to the construction of the water tower.

Finally, after the water tower was built and everyone stored water in it to ensure that the villagers would not die of thirst even if there was no water in the well, he joined the pig hunting team.

After another half a month, the prey could be divided.

This was simply the best news for the Qin family recently.

Then, just when everyone was secretly looking forward to a better life in the future.

Qin Xinbao ran back with a big belly.
