70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

If Zhou Qingwen hadn't come to see Xiaoya today, I don't know if my grandson would still be able to have milk tomorrow.

You know, an adult can probably endure a day of hunger.

But what if an infant goes hungry for a day?

That could be fatal!

Zhou Feitian also told Yu Xiongwei very seriously that if he encountered this situation again, he must come to him for advice as soon as possible.

If it's really inconvenient to come during the day, then come at night. We can't let the baby go hungry like this anymore.

Zhou Feitian's words improved Yu Xiongwei's impression of the Zhou family considerably.

Previously, I was worried that Zhou Qingwen had made Luo Xiuqin break off the engagement, perhaps because Zhou Qingwen had some kind of bad habit.

Or is there some bad influence within the Zhou family?

As it turns out, Zhou's parents were very open-minded, loved their child, and took good care of their family.

With such elders, Yu Yalan will naturally have the care and attention of her in-laws after she marries into the family.

Zhou Qingwen treated Xiaoya very well.

Every time he returned from hunting, he would bring the game to see Xiaoya.

I was just worried that Xiaoya would go hungry.

To be honest, the Yu family had been starving for several days.

Because of Yu Xiongwei's medication, the Yu family had been eating very thin corn porridge for several days in a row, and the rice in the rice jar was almost empty.

Without Zhou Qingwen, the Yu family might have been reduced to the point of having to marry off their daughter in exchange for some food.

However, Yu Yalan was also secretly relieved.

She was able to get to know Zhou Qingwen, gradually get to know him, and slowly accept him, thus smoothly getting her parents ready to propose marriage.

She's caught the wave of free love.

Zhou Qingwen truly loved and cherished her.

Every time I visit her, I bring meat or other delicious food.

She went into the room and brought out two pairs of socks she had made herself: "Check them out when you get back; see if they're comfortable."

Zhou Qingwen looked at the two pairs of gray socks and said, "These are the socks Xiaoya made, and they're my favorite."

Zhou Qingwen examined the socks carefully; although they weren't as soft as the socks from his previous life in the modern world.

However, these socks are not bad. In the 1970s, if a woman made socks for you, you should be secretly happy!

In those days, if a woman made socks or tank tops for a man, it meant that she cared about him.

This is my plan to spend my life with you.

Zhou Qingwen excitedly put his socks into a cloth bag on his body, which contained some dry food.

By this time, the dry rations were finished, and it was a good time to put the socks away.

If it were someone else, would you put socks in a bag meant for dry rations?

They're so unclean!

However, Zhou Qingwen had just touched the socks; they were new, meaning they had never been worn.

Of course, Yu Yalan wouldn't use old cloth to make socks for Zhou Qingwen.

This is basic common sense!

After all, they're dating, and giving them old things as gifts is disrespectful.

Yu Yalan saw that a girl in the village had cloth for making socks, so she helped the girl earn work points for two days in exchange for the cloth.

Yu Yalan's family was starving, and she didn't have any extra money to buy fabric.

Yu Yalan is that kind of woman. Although she accepted a lot of wolf meat and other things from Zhou Qingwen, she is not the kind of woman who only takes and doesn't give back.

She wholeheartedly did everything she could to help Zhou Qingwen.

These socks are the result of her hard work.

However, Zhou Qingwen gently grasped her small hand: "Your hands are so skillful. Hmm, why are your fingers a little rough?"

Yu Yalan said shyly, "Let go quickly, who comes up here and grabs my hand to look at me like that?"

Zhou Qingwen carefully touched it: "Xiaoya, did you prick your finger with a needle? There are at least seven or eight small needle marks here?"

Yu Yalan said shyly, "I'm not very good at needlework, so I only pricked the front a few times. It's okay."

Zhou Qingwen pulled Xiaoya into a tight embrace: "Thank you for making socks for me. Don't make them next time, we'll buy them with money. I don't want you to prick your hands, it hurts me!"

Yu Yalan said with emotion, "It's normal for girls to do needlework. Getting pricked once or twice is fine, it doesn't hurt."

"Doesn't it hurt anymore? Your fingers are covered in thorns! Don't do that again!"

Yu Yalan nodded, but in her heart she was still thinking that she would definitely do it next time. When Zhou Qingwen received the socks, his face and eyes were shining!

Zhou Qingwen had no idea how happy Yu Yalan felt when she saw him receiving the gifts.

Yu Yalan herself was in a particularly good mood.

At the very least, she felt that she had helped Zhou Qingwen.

He is not someone who blindly accepts Zhou Qingwen's gifts without knowing how to reciprocate.

Their feelings for each other deepened day by day.

The parents inside had almost finished their discussion.

Liu Yue'e said that although the bride's side will not be holding a banquet, they will still prepare some food for the bride's side so that their own family can celebrate.

In addition, the Zhou family would hold a small banquet to invite some of their relatives to eat, and also let Yu Yalan get to know some of their relatives and friends.

The most important thing is to invite the brigade leader to our home, so that the brigade leader will take care of the Yu family in the future.

Zhou Qingwen is now a hunter.

If the battalion commander wanted to eat meat, he had to exchange it with Zhou Qingwen.

Or they could only get to eat meat by borrowing some of the captain's transport vehicles.

These days, very few families eat meat.

Those with better conditions would raise two hens, and every seven or eight days they would lay one egg to make soup for the whole family to drink, which was considered a treat for them.

There are almost no families like Zhou Qingwen's that eat meat!

Zhou Qingwen's family is the only one in the whole village who can afford to eat meat!

And the meat is plentiful!

Taking advantage of his good mood, Zhou Qingwen said to Yu Yalan, "Then let's consider ourselves engaged today. After I hunt a wild boar, I'll invite everyone in the village for a meal, and then we'll get married!"

Yu Yalan blushed slightly and said, "You can get married even without a wild boar."

Zhou Qingwen gently stroked Yu Yalan's high, straight nose and said, "Trust me, I have a way of hunting this wild boar!"

Zhou Qingwen had already mentally reviewed the wild boar's activity range.

In those days, a hunter who could kill a wild boar was considered very skilled.

What if there was a hunter in a village who could hunt wild boar?

That's second only to the battalion commander!

I've heard that wild boars in the Taihang Mountains are very ferocious!

Especially He Gousheng and Sun Erniu, the two of them went hunting in the mountains together, and as a result, they encountered wild boars and were both injured by them.

Both of them may end up walking with a limp in the future.

And He Gousheng's woman...

No wonder, the spot where He Gousheng was gored by the wild boar was too hidden; he might not be able to enjoy sex in the future...

Yu Yalan laughed and said, "Just do your best when hunting wild boar. I don't care if I treat the whole village to a meal; I just want you to be alright!"

Zhou Qingwen leaned close to Yu Yalan's ear and said:
