Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 181 Uncle, you can keep a small brain axe secretly, I won’t tell anyone else
"I didn't." Liu Qingsong said repeatedly.

"Then this is..." Ye Xiaoxiao pointed at the little tiger cub.

Little Nuomi also blinked his big eyes mischievously: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, you can just keep the little brain axe in secret."

"I really didn't plan to raise a little tiger." Liu Qingsong didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this: "It was Xiao Heikui who brought this little tiger cub here this morning. I saw that it was still breathing, so I helped bandage its wound and brought it to the kitchen to feed it."

"Really?" Ye Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

"Little Heikui is really too naughty now." Little Nuomi couldn't help but say something while tilting his little head, then ran to the little tiger cub with his short legs.

The little tiger cub was only concerned with eating wild boar meat.

There is simply no time to pay attention to her.

Lian reached out carefully and touched the tiger's back.

The little tiger cub just looked up at Little Nuomi and said nothing else, continuing to eat its wild boar meat.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao also came over curiously, reached out and touched the little tiger cub, and then asked Liu Qingsong: "Brother, why is the tiger so close to you?"

Little Nuomi also looked at Liu Qingsong curiously.

"How should I know?" Liu Qingsong spread his hands: "But you'd better stay away from the little tiger! It will be troublesome if it bites you."

"Oh!" Ye Xiaoxiao felt that what Liu Qingsong said made sense, and quickly distanced herself from the little tiger.

But little Nuomi was not afraid at all. After the little tiger cub finished eating the wild boar meat and his belly was round, he was picked up and ran out of the kitchen, smilingly going to find Little Prank and Little Sister.

"No..." Liu Qingsong felt a headache and quickly chased after him.

Only then did he realize that little Nuomi was now more naughty than the little tiger and he could no longer control him.

Fortunately, after seeing Xiao Heikui, the little tiger cub broke free from Xiao Nuomi's hand, and then hid at Liu Qingsong's feet and refused to leave.

Even if little Nuomi tried to coax the little tiger with delicious food, the little tiger cub remained indifferent.

This made Liu Qingsong breathe a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he picked up the little tiger cub and took him to the room and locked him up.

After all, the little tiger cub is injured now and it is impossible to send him to the back mountain.

In that case, it would be no different from killing the little tiger cub.

As for why the tiger cub was locked in the room instead of the backyard, it was obviously because they were afraid that the tiger cub would get hungry and eat the chicks and piglets.

After locking him up, Liu Qingsong specially took two large bones and placed them in the room, then went to find Wang Yaoqing to take care of the affairs of the Huaishu Production Team.

This busy work lasted until after noon.

At first Liu Qingsong had forgotten about the little tiger cub. It was not until he was cutting wild boar meat for lunch in the kitchen that he remembered there was a little tiger cub locked up in the room.

In order to prevent the little tiger cub from looking for food when he was hungry, Liu Qingsong hurried to the room.

What surprised Liu Qingsong was that the little tiger cub was gone.

Ask about Xiao Nuomi, Xiao Taoqi and Xiaomei who are playing in the main room.

They all said they didn't see it.

Liu Qingsong thought the little tiger cub had escaped, so he didn't pay much attention to it and went back to the kitchen to continue making lunch.

After finishing, he called Ye Xiaoxiao and her younger sister to have lunch. While eating, he walked to the backyard with his bowl, wanting to see how the piglets in the pigsty were doing.

Who would have thought that when I opened the door to the backyard, I would see the little tiger cub sleeping with two little pigs, with little chicks playing and catching insects nearby, and the little black eagle fighting with the little eagle for bones to eat.

Liu Qingsong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when watching this scene.

He was a little puzzled as to why the little tiger cub would sleep with the little pig, but thinking this way, he did not disturb them and went back to continue eating lunch.

After all, with Little Black Tiger and Little Eagle around, the little tiger cub doesn't dare to eat the little pig and the little chicken.

At around 2:30 in the afternoon, Liu Qingsong, who had rested well, came to the backyard again.

The little tiger cub had woken up by now. As soon as he saw Liu Qingsong, he fluttered over and circled around Liu Qingsong.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Heikui stepped forward and hit the little tiger cub with his paw, making it behave itself. It then squatted down in front of Liu Qingsong obediently.

Liu Qingsong knew that Xiao Heikui was hungry and wanted to eat bones, so he quickly opened the woodshed, took out four or five bones with meat on them and threw them under the eaves.

The little tiger cub's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the meat bone. After rubbing Liu Qingsong's right leg, he pounced over.

But the next second, he was slapped away by Xiao Heikui.

After repeating this several times.

The little tiger cub had to sit aside and watch.

Only when it saw the little eagle eating the meat bones did it follow carefully behind.

Liu Qingsong couldn't help laughing when watching this scene. He knew that Xiao Heikui was declaring his status in the family and didn't really want to bully Xiao Naihu, so he didn't interfere.

Just when I was about to get the broom to clean the backyard.

From outside came the babyish voice of Little Nuomi: "Uncle, uncle... Second uncle... he's here again, and he brought a lot of people with him."

"Really?" Liu Qingsong hurriedly walked out of the backyard.

I didn't realize it until I reached the gate.

Xiao Nuomi really didn't lie to him.

My second uncle really brought a lot of people this time.

A rough count shows that there are at least fifty or sixty of them.

Most of them were villagers from the loach production team, carrying hunting rifles and game on their shoulders. Some villagers even brought hunted wild goats and wild boars.

Of course, there are more dried honeysuckle.

It was carried on a shoulder pole by the aunt and the young wife.

These aunts and young wives were wearing patched clothes and most of them had frostbite on their faces. After seeing Liu Qingsong, they greeted Liu Qingsong with simple and honest smiles, and then asked Liu Qingsong if he wanted the honeysuckle they had picked.

This made Liu Qingsong a little overwhelmed for a while.

After all, he only has one mouth, how can he possibly answer so many questions from aunts and young wives.

So after coming to his senses, he asked his second uncle Zhou Guowei: "What's going on with you? Didn't I ask you to go buy honeysuckle and game for the black market? Why did you bring so many people here?"

"I... I didn't want to either! But after I went back, I found that everyone had game and dried honeysuckle for sale. When they heard that I was representing the black market to purchase, they took them all. But they refused to buy on credit, so... so..." Zhou Guowei scratched his head and smiled foolishly, without saying anything else.

But Liu Qingsong heard the hidden meaning.

After he heaving a sigh of relief, Lian cleared his throat and said to all the villagers present: "Everyone, I know you came to my house because you trust my second uncle. How about this! I won't waste any more words. I will advance the money to buy your game and honeysuckle. But first, I have to see the goods and give a price. I won't accept anything of poor quality."

"Have it."

"No problem."

All the villagers responded loudly.

This simple dialect made Liu Qingsong laugh uncontrollably, and at the same time, he finally felt relieved.

Seeing that the amount of game and honeysuckle was indeed quite large, he quickly called Wang Yaoqing for help, and Ye Xiaoxiao to help with the accounting.

As for the price, Liu Qingsong listened to Wang Yaoqing's advice and purchased the goods at a price 10% lower than the supply and marketing cooperative's selling price.

After all, he is purchasing in bulk, not retailing, so the price cannot be the same as the retail price of the supply and marketing cooperative.

However, what Liu Qingsong and Wang Yaoqing did not know was that their purchase price was much higher than the price paid by the heads of the supply and marketing cooperatives. The price of some game was more than two or three times higher.

This made the dozens of villagers surrounding Liu Qingsong, Zhou Guowei, Wang Yaoqing and Ye Xiaoxiao extremely excited. They all rushed to bring the game and honeysuckle to Liu Qingsong.

"Everyone, line up! Can you come one by one?" Liu Qingsong felt a headache watching this scene: "If you don't line up, I won't buy it."

When the villagers heard this, they immediately lined up in an orderly manner.

In the grain drying field in front of the Pangdun's house, Tao Guoqing stood with his hands behind his back and watched the scene with a faint smile. Seeing Bai Yuzhen frowning beside him, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you think Qingsong is becoming more and more unrestrained? They even dare to snatch the business of the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"Isn't it?" Bai Yuzhen asked.

If this continues.

That will offend a lot of people.

After all, the game and honeysuckle of the teams around Songmu Commune were purchased by special people from the supply and marketing cooperative, but Liu Qingsong asked his second uncle to seize the business of the supply and marketing cooperative. Even if the person in charge of the black market nodded, she thought that Liu Qingsong had really gone too far this time.

"Of course not. This is actually the general trend." Tao Guoqing said seriously, "You may not know that our supply and marketing cooperative has not sold dried honeysuckle for more than three years. As for game, some leaders secretly sent it to supply and marketing cooperatives in other places to sell it and make huge profits."

"And they push the price of local purchases very low. Sometimes, the price is so low that you can't even imagine because of reasons like blocked roads."

"That's why the villagers from the loach production team and other teams all rushed over when they saw Zhou Guowei buying honeysuckle and game on the black market."

"Because they never thought that game and honeysuckle could be sold at such a high price."

"Of course, they also lack money for the New Year, otherwise, they wouldn't have no cotton-padded jackets to wear in the middle of winter." "This..." Bai Yuzhen opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. After all, she had never thought that some leaders of the supply and marketing cooperatives would be so shameless.

"Let's go! Let's go over and help." Tao Guoqing said in a low voice: "The New Year is coming soon, let these villagers get the money and go back to celebrate the New Year as soon as possible."

"Okay! Okay!" Bai Yuzhen followed Tao Guoqing and walked to the gate of Liu Qingsong's house.

……

Around 5pm.

Liu Lijuan and Liu Chunhua came back walking on the snow, talking and laughing.

Because they received year-end bonuses and wages, the two of them brought back a lot of food and clothing with their 28-meter poles.

But after stopping the bicycles, they were stunned.

Among them, Liu Lijuan pointed at the game piled up under the eaves at the gate and asked loudly: "Qingsong, Qingsong... where did all this game come from?"

"My uncle helped collect them." Little Nuomi ran out with his short legs.

"Really? Then where is your uncle?" Liu Lijuan reached out and picked up Xiao Nuomi.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him since I sent my uncle away!" Little Nuomi replied in a baby voice.

"Oh, so that's it!" As soon as Liu Lijuan heard the three words "granduncle", she immediately understood what was going on.

Liu Chunhua also reacted: "Lijuan, the black market is worried about the lack of game to sell! Even if there is, the price is extremely expensive. How about we call a tractor to send these game and dried honeysuckle to the black market now?"

Just be able to deliver it safely.

For her, she can make a lot of money by reselling it.

"No, it would be a bit inappropriate if we don't tell Qingsong about it." After hesitating for a moment, Liu Lijuan expressed what she was thinking.

"That's right." Liu Chunhua nodded.

Just as they were about to bring the food and clothes from the 28-ton pole into the house, a military jeep drove up the mountain road.

The military jeep stopped steadily on the threshing ground, and the next second Ye Qingmei opened the door and got out with a gift in her hand.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao, who was warming herself by the fire at the gate of Pangdun's house, happily ran over with a book in her arms, crunching on the snow.

Liu Lijuan and Liu Chunhua also looked curiously at Ye Qingmei who was walking towards them.

"I'm here to look for Qingsong." Ye Qingmei handed the gift in her hand to Xiao Nuomi who was biting her index finger, then smiled and looked at Liu Lijuan: "Is he home?"

"It seems like I sent my second uncle out." Liu Lijuan replied softly.

"Do you want me to go find him?" Liu Chunhua asked.

"That's not necessary." Ye Qingmei glanced at the sky and said, "If anyone of you has time, please take me to the Nanzhu greenhouse to have a look!"

"I...I'm free!" Little Nuomi handed the gift to Liu Lijuan, then ran towards the Wild Boar Ridge in the back mountain with his short legs.

"This child!" Liu Lijuan shook her head.

Liu Chunhua also laughed.

But the two of them didn't bother to care about it, and turned around to do their own things.

……

Back mountain.

Inside the Nanzhu greenhouse.

Liu Qingsong was knocking the snow off the roof with a bamboo pole.

Just as I was about to go back to cook, Xiao Nuomi's sweet voice came: "Uncle, uncle...that aunt is here to see you!"

"Ah?" Liu Qingsong turned his head and looked over.

When he saw that the aunt Xiao Nuomi was referring to was Ye Qingmei, he smiled and went up to her: "It seems that you completed the mission quite smoothly this time!"

"It wasn't going well. I almost lost my life." Ye Qingmei replied casually and walked into the Nanzhu greenhouse.

Seeing that there were tables, chairs, benches and workbenches inside, but no tools for making bamboo crossbows, he couldn't help but ask, "Has the tools not been customized yet?"

"Well, probably after the New Year." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Why is it so slow?" Ye Qingmei frowned. She was still thinking about taking away a batch of bamboo crossbows before the New Year!

"Because your brother had an accident before, I was afraid that you wouldn't want the bamboo crossbow, so I asked the blacksmith who made the custom tools to talk about it next year." Liu Qingsong replied softly.

But the actual situation is-

The manual tools for making bamboo crossbows and most of the liquid robots were almost ready, but the huge corpse appeared last night and directly destroyed all the hard work of the liquid robots.

Although it was not a loss for him to get the storage bag.

But it is impossible to produce manual tools in a short period of time at present, so Ye Bingquan can only be used as a shield.

"Is that so?" Ye Qingmei did not doubt the truth of Liu Qingsong's words, but said seriously: "Then I will formally inform you now that no matter what happens in the future, the production of bamboo crossbows must continue."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded: "I will go and ask Sixth Grandpa to start work tomorrow, but you have to pay him and other wages before the New Year."

"That's as it should be. I'll have someone send the money over tomorrow morning." Ye Qingmei said as she moved a bench and sat down. "By the way, Qingsong, I heard from Sixth Grandpa that the bamboo crossbow he made was a copy of yours. So where did your bamboo crossbow come from?"

Although she heard that it was found in her grandfather's old house, she still didn't quite believe it and wanted to confirm it from Liu Qingsong.

"My father left it to me." Liu Qingsong replied.

"What?" Ye Qingmei was a little surprised.

It turned out that Liu Hualei left it to Liu Qingsong. This means that things are not simple! At least Liu Qingsong concealed a lot of inside information from other Liu family members.

"It was really my father who left it to me. Because my father was doing forced labor on the farm, I didn't tell the truth to my uncles and aunts, for fear that it would leave a bad impression." Liu Qingsong looked at Ye Qingmei and said, "Sister, if you want to fully unleash the power of the bamboo crossbow, you can go to my father to find out the situation."

He didn't say more.

After all, there is too much to say.

There was suspicion that he was intentionally bringing the topic to his father.

"You mean, this bamboo crossbow was made by your father?" Ye Qingmei asked in surprise after understanding the meaning of Liu Qingsong's words.

"That's about right!" Liu Qingsong nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then do you think your father is willing to come to the greenhouse to guide the making of bamboo crossbows?" Ye Qingmei asked.

"Why wouldn't he be unwilling to do that? But he's doing forced labor on the farm, so I'm afraid he can't come." Liu Qingsong reminded with a wry smile.

"That's not necessarily true!" Ye Qingmei stood up after thinking for a moment: "You wait for good news from me at home. Although I can't release your parents, your father has the ability to make bamboo crossbows, so I can temporarily transfer him to the greenhouse to help."

"If the bamboo crossbows can be mass-produced, I can ask the relevant leaders to reduce his sentence or even release him."

"Is it true?" Liu Qingsong was a little excited.

"Of course it's true." Ye Qingmei reached out and patted Liu Qingsong on the shoulder: "But! Let me remind you in advance, even if I want to release your parents right away, I have to wait until the second half of next year."

As for the reason.

Ye Qingmei didn't say anything.

But Liu Qingsong heard the hidden meaning.

Because 1978 and 1979 were very special years, and the policies were very different, if you are too anxious, you will end up making mistakes.

"I won't talk to you anymore. Since your father is so capable, I will go and report to the relevant leaders by phone now." Ye Qingmei said, turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Qingsong even took Xiao Nuomi with him and followed him out.

Who knows it hasn't been delivered to the military jeep yet.

The little tiger cub, however, got under the military jeep while playing with the little black tiger and refused to come out.

This gave Liu Qingsong a headache, while Ye Qingmei was stunned: "If I didn't see it wrong just now, then... that was a little tiger, right?"

"Yes, auntie!" Little Nuomi raised his little head and replied in a baby voice.

"He was caught by the little black cub raised by my brother." Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Qingmei and agreed with a smile.

"Cough cough..." Liu Qingsong coughed lightly.

Why does it feel like the one Ye Xiaoxiao described is a bad guy?
