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

You can have two sets of clothes made. Use the rest of your belongings as much as possible; save money and don't waste it!

"Yes."

The eldest and second eldest brothers both felt a sudden tightness in their chests.

They also really wanted to go into the mountains.

That night, the eldest and second eldest brothers were both in the yard watching the mountain.

The second brother then asked, "Big brother, do you dare to go into the mountains?"

"I want to go into the mountains, but I have no experience."

"How about we ask the third brother to show us around?"

Zhou Qingwen happened to come out and overheard: "What? Both eldest and second brothers want to go up the mountain to make money?"

The second brother swallowed hard: "I want to!"

The older brother shifted his foot and said, "I want to too!"

Zhou Qingwen laughed and said, "Wouldn't you be afraid if you encountered a wolf?"

The older brother swallowed hard, recalling the day he dealt with the wolf: "Scary!"

The second brother, upon seeing a pack of wolves, became even more alarmed: "I'd rather continue earning work points."

The second brother immediately turned around and went into his shed.

Although the second brother envied the third brother for making money, he did it by risking his life!

The second brother admitted that he didn't have the strength or courage, nor had he learned how to hunt.

The older brother sighed, "I'm scared too! Oh well, I'll just go back to hoeing the ground!"

Zhou Qingwen stroked his chin. Hoeing the ground? He suspected that his older brother had been driving just now.

But he had no evidence!

night

Zhou Qingwen only did it three times during the first half of the night, and then went to sleep properly during the second half.

Because he had to go into the mountains to make money the next day.

Zhou Qingwen told Yu Yalan where to store the remaining money.

Yu Yalan took it out and looked at it, her heart pounding wildly.

They had 3500 yuan in their hands, which was a huge fortune.

They also had 1500 yuan in Liu Yue'e's possession, which together made them a wealthy household with 5000 yuan.

However, people in this era were not allowed to steal or resell food.

Therefore, I dare not take out this money casually.

They could only secretly take out a small portion for daily use.

You need to buy additional tickets to use them together; otherwise, without tickets, money won't be accepted.

Early the next morning

Liu Yue'e prepared the dry food, and Zhou Qingwen tied the cloth bag around his waist: "Mom, I'm going up the mountain."

"Okay, fine, just be careful yourself."

"Okay, got it."

This time, Zhou Qingwen went to see if he could track down that group of robbers.

A group of five people can be dealt with using darts.

However, if the police want the body, he won't be able to explain it clearly.

Therefore, I needed a registered gun, so I brought the registered gun that I got from the police station today.

Bring bullets.

If we could get back the more than 90,000 yuan in wages owed to the towel factory, that would be a remarkable achievement!

The police officer said that if he really makes a great contribution, he might be promoted to a reserve police officer outside the official police force.

At least then we're eating government food.

There is a fixed income of several tens of yuan per month.

Moreover, the work is very flexible; you can just go around to the villages around the county.

There are many thieves in this era, and there are also many plainclothes police officers.

Zhou Qingwen carefully traversed several mountains, but finding those people in the vast mountains was truly not easy.

Zhou Qingwen could only casually hunt a wild goat, two wild rabbits, and a deer.

Take these prey and head home.

Wild goats and other prey have already been bled, so they can be skinned and processed easily when we get back.

Sure enough, it took them a day and a half to get back to the village, where they heard someone crying right at the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Qingwen carried his prey down the mountain and saw the mountain guard, Zhou Haoquan, sobbing: "Brother Haoquan, why are you crying?"

Zhou Haoquan sobbed and said, "Waaah~ My mom said yesterday that the person who was supposed to arrange a marriage for me wrote back, saying that the other party dislikes me because I'm a man who brings death to his wife and children, and that my fate is too tough, so they don't want to marry me."

Zhou Haoquan sobbed again, his shoulders trembled, and he was clearly losing control of his emotions.

"Brother Haoquan, there are two rabbits here. Take one back. This can't be rushed. We can meet more later."

Zhou Haoquan swallowed hard when he saw the large rabbit, but still refused, saying, "Qingwen, you hunt with difficulty yourself, and you always hand over meat to the village. I can't accept it!"

"Here you go! I still have the authority to give you a rabbit!"

Zhou Haoquan stuffed his arms full of rabbit.

That painful memory that I wanted to reject suddenly didn't feel so bad anymore.

Holding the rabbit's soft body, Zhou Haoquan grinned foolishly and said, "It's such a big rabbit, it would be a waste for me to eat it. I'll take it and trade it for food."

Zhou Qingwen laughed and said, "It's your decision. If you want me, I'll eat meat!"

Zhou Haoquan said with a simple, honest smile, "We can only eat meat twice, but we can trade rabbits for grain that will last us for almost half a month."

Zhou Qingwen laughed and said, "Okay, here's the rabbit. You can do whatever you want with it! I'm going back!"

Zhou Haoquan looked at him and thought, "Zhou Qingwen is such a man!"

Why would you just casually give him a rabbit?

It's better not to talk about sad things!

Zhou Haoquan wiped away his tears again, "Useless! All you do is cry!"

He happily carried the rabbit to his little wooden house to put it away.

Zhou Qingwen carried a wild goat, a fawn, and a rabbit on his way home.

The prey was swaying back and forth on the branch.

Several children gathered around, exclaiming, "It's my third uncle! Third uncle, you've caught another game?"

"Haha, yes!"

Zhou Jinfeng was playing with the children when he called out to them, and they all came over.

A lot of children gathered around, exclaiming, "Wow, it's a lamb!"

"This is a fawn!"

"This is a rabbit!"

On the way back home, the shed was being dismantled, and workers were helping with the removal.

The eldest and second eldest brothers also helped out.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law were also there. Yu Yalan brewed a lot of tea and added a little brown sugar to it.

Zhou Feitian was also busy with various tasks.

Liu Yue'e was wiping the front door of her new home with a towel.

Zhou Qingwen laughed and said, "I'm back at just the right time! We're moving to our new house tomorrow, perfect! Let's invite everyone in the village over for a housewarming feast!"

Liu Yue'e laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, are you really going to invite everyone in the village to eat?"

"Of course, for a housewarming party, we need to invite lots of people to our home to bring good fortune!"

Zhou Feitian glanced at the game and said, "You've brought back enough prey, so I'll grant your wish and throw a housewarming party!"

Everyone chuckled, and Zhou Qingwen said with a smile, "Those of you who are helping out here, come join us tomorrow if you're free! Let's have some fun!"

Everyone laughed and said, "Okay!"

Of course, you'll give a small gift at the relocation banquet, but you can also eat the game that Zhou Qingwen hunted—it's meat!

Everyone was excited!

They also extended an invitation.

This is a house they built on behalf of the owners, and the owners approve of it.

Craftsmen rely on their reputation to make a living.

So all the craftsmen in this group will be attending the relocation banquet tomorrow.

After tidying up, we added some new furniture to the house.

The house is now more than twice the size of the original one.

On average, a family has two rooms available.

The main house is for my parents.

The east wing was given to Zhou Qingwen.
