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

Yu Yalan tightened her grip slightly, her face hardening as she said, "Qingwen is tall; he can't wear other people's clothes."

Zhuang Maoshan's wife glanced at Zhou Qingwen, who was washing clothes nearby, with a look of envy.

Believe it or not, Zhou Qingwen looks like a handsome young man, but he is incredibly strong!

Zhuang Maoshan and many men, as well as many women from the village, all saw Zhou Qingwen carrying a large wild boar down the mountain all by himself!

This power?

Zhuang Maoshan's wife swallowed hard, unable to contain herself...

Zhou Qingwen smiled and said, "Ladies, would you like me to help with the laundry?"

"You're done washing so quickly?"

"Alright, two pairs of pants, a little laundry detergent, and a quick scrub is all it takes!"

Zhou Qingwen smiled and said that his handsome appearance, under the morning sunlight, made women's hearts flutter.

This man is actually Zhou Qingwen?

And this man isn't from their own family?

That's so enviable!

The women all laughed and said, "No need, no need."

Zhou Qingwen laughed and poured the water from the bucket into the clothes, then said, "Wife, you carry the chicks, and I'll carry the clothes back."

At this moment, Zhou Qingwen came up carrying the clothes. Although he was a little clumsy, his strength was evident.

Zhou Qingwen carried two large buckets of clothes with ease, as if walking on flat ground.

There was no hint of taboo or unease whatsoever.

This also made several of the younger women secretly take a look.

"Yu Yalan is so lucky!"

"That's right!"

"Look how much Qingwen dotes on her!"

Zhuang Maoshan's wife swallowed again, truly unconvinced!

On his way back, Zhou Qingwen said, "I've been meaning to buy a bicycle, but I've been putting it off. Tomorrow I'll go to the county town and find one to ride back with."

Yu Yalan immediately whispered, "Qingwen, don't buy a bicycle yet. We're already attracting jealousy when we go hunting. Buying a bicycle just to make it easier for me to carry clothes back is not worth it, even though I didn't object before."

But now, I cherish the little conversations I have with my sisters-in-law and aunts. If I get a bicycle, don't let me use it; I'm worried that if I'm too proud, people will be jealous.

"Honey, outstanding people are meant to be envied and seen as targets. You have to get used to it!"

Yu Yalan reached out and pinched Zhou Qingwen's waist: "You brat! You won't listen to me?"

"Okay, okay, let's not buy a bicycle yet. Honey, my back is important, don't hurt it, you know what will happen tonight!"

Yu Yalan was about to pinch him again, but Zhou Qingwen, as if he had known her intentions beforehand, gently grasped her small hand with his large palm: "Wife, don't be silly, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist kissing you in the street in public!"

Yu Yalan's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock: "No! I'm scared!"

Zhou Qingwen smiled and said, "Come on, come back with me."

Shortly afterward, Yu Yalan returned home and went to the newly made chicken coop. She put down the half-grown chicks and the smaller chicks and gave them some water.

Newly arrived chicks should not be fed immediately; they should be fed in the afternoon.

You can drink a little water.

"Why is that?" Zhou Qingwen said, based on his experience.

Yu Yalan obediently did as she was told.

Zhou Qingwen hung all the clothes to dry on the two bamboo poles outside.

Drops of water, in strings.

It was still quite early, around nine o'clock in the morning.

Yu Yalan came out, looked around, and said, "The chicks are all put away. What are you going to do next?"

"Wife, will you accompany me no matter what I want to do?"

Yu Yalan said shyly, "Don't think like that, those things are not allowed!"

Zhou Qingwen said with ill intent, "What things? I don't understand."

Zhou Qingwen walked over lightly, gently lifted Yu Yalan's chin, and kissed her on the lips.

"Oh! You scared me to death! We're outside!"

"So, does your wife mean it's okay to do it inside the house?"

"No! I'm going to roll out the dough! You bad guy!"

Zhou Qingwen smiled and touched his lips. His wife's lips were so sweet and soft.

With a flushed face, Yu Yalan went to roll out the noodles.

Zhou Qingwen then went to the room next to their east wing and took out his hunting rifle to give it a proper cleaning.

The traces of human activity he saw last time seemed to have been taken there by the wolf king.

If I'm not mistaken, they were the five people who robbed the towel factory of its wages.

If they stay in the mountains, it proves that they received their wages but couldn't spend them.

Zhou Qingwen carefully maintained the gun, his movements serious and meticulous.

It took half an hour to complete the entire maintenance process.

Zhou Qingwen then assembled the hunting rifle and hung it aside.

He started polishing darts again.

If we encounter those five people in the mountains, wouldn't it be a tough battle?

There are only twelve darts available; once they're thrown, they won't come back.

Therefore, it is also very necessary to prepare a gun.

Zhou Qingwen looked at the bullets; there weren't many left, only about ten.

Zhou Qingwen took a half-pound piece of meat from the kitchen and went to the brigade leader's house: "Auntie, I brought a piece of meat. Can I borrow your bicycle for a bit?"

Aunt Zhang Yuhua laughed and said, "You can ride it, there's no need to bring meat. You're too kind. This meat, oh, I'll stir-fry some for lunch. I don't even need to add salt, the salt frost on it is already thick."

"Yes, Auntie, I'm leaving."

Zhou Qingwen rode his bicycle and hurriedly went to the town's police station.

After arriving at the police station, I locked my bicycle, went into the office, found Liu Qiwu, and told him I needed to collect some bullets.

Liu Qiwu said, "We need to issue an invoice to apply for the use of the product, specifying the reason for its use."

"Okay, give me a form."

"Come with me. These forms aren't just for random people; they all have numbers."

"So serious?"

"That's right!"

Liu Qiwu went to a clerical worker and got a form: "Write this down here first, then copy it up later."

"it is good."

"Zhou Qingwen? What brings you to town? Are you coming on patrol with me today?"

Yan Suhong stepped forward and said.

"No, I'm here to request bullets."

Yan Suhong smiled and said, "You little rascal, are you addicted to hunting? Don't you feel a greater sense of accomplishment catching thieves while patrolling?"

"I do feel a sense of accomplishment, but I'm even more eager to catch those five people in the mountains!"

Yan Suhong's eyes lit up: "You little rascal, you've got some ambition. I wish you success in catching those five criminals!"

"Hey! Absolutely!"

Liu Qiwu smiled and said, "I'll take this bullet application form to get it signed, and then I'll deliver it to the village for you."

"Thank you so much, Officer Liu!"

"Don't mention it!"

Zhou Qingwen looked at Yan Suhong and asked, "Officer Yan, have you found anything during your patrols these past few days?"

"No!"

Yan Suhong said angrily, "I was so angry when a thief got away last time!"

Zhou Qingwen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll definitely catch him next time!"

Yan Suhong's eyes lit up with delight as she said, "Teach me how to run next time! You're pretty fast, I can't even keep up with you!"

Zhou Qingwen laughed and said, "It's innate, it's innate."

Zhou Qingwen pursed his lips slightly.

He won awards for running in his past life!
