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

The food here has surpassed that of the town's police station.

Wow, this is really different. You know, hunting is a high-risk job.

However, the returns are also quite high!

After having lunch, Zhou Qingwen used the well water from the police station to wash his bicycle.

Believe it or not, this old bicycle was wiped down and looked brand new. Although it was old, it was clean!

It's so eye-catching all of a sudden.

After wiping the bicycle clean, Zhou Qingwen rode it away.

But as soon as they stepped out of the police station, Yan Suhong approached them and said, "Zhou Qingwen, can you give me a ride on your bicycle? I need to go to the cooperative in town."

Before Zhou Qingwen could even refuse, Yan Suhong had already gotten into the back seat.

The petite woman sat down so automatically that Zhou Qingwen had no way to shoo Yan Suhong away.

He swallowed awkwardly and said, "Sit still."

With a kick of the pedal, the bicycle sped off a great distance.

He flew away like the wind, carrying Yan Suhong with him.

Liu Qiwu happened to see this, and his eyes couldn't help but well up with a hint of sourness...

Zhou Qingwen dropped Yan Suhong off at the cooperative and left without lingering.

Yan Suhong glanced at Zhou Qingwen's retreating figure. "Hey! He runs pretty fast!"

Yan Suhong entered the cooperative and picked out some daily necessities.

Zhou Qingwen rode his bicycle home at top speed, arriving home close to four o'clock.

After I got back, I poured myself a glass of water and drank it.

Whistling, I went to relieve myself.

When he came out, he saw Zhou Qinghe had returned: "Big brother, you're back quite early today?"

"Oh, I'm just coming back to get some water. I need to go to the fields later. I've run out of the water I brought today, and I'm really thirsty."

"It's okay, I just drank some water, there's still some in the kettle."

"That's good."

Zhou Qinghe rushed into the kitchen, poured the water from the kettle twice, and drank it down in large gulps.

"Brother, just focus on earning your work points normally. If I'm lucky with my hunting, we'll have a better life. You don't need to work too hard!"

"Hey! I'm not inferior to you! I do double the work points, and we only get our food because of those work points; otherwise, buying food would be too expensive!"

Zhou Qingwen smiled and said, "Big brother is awesome!"

"You're the better one! I'm going to the fields."

"Okay! Alright!"

Zhou Qingwen went inside, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

Yu Yalan and the others wouldn't be back that early, so the gate to the compound was half-closed.

Zhou Qingwen was fast asleep.

Zhou Qingwen touched the bed with his hand, the object in his hand, which he hadn't touched today.

However, after looking at it for a moment, I realized that I definitely couldn't touch that item anymore.

Because it had just gotten dark, his wife should be cooking.

Zhou Qingwen rolled over, rubbed his eyes, sat up, put on his shoes, and went outside.

The moon wasn't very bright in the courtyard today, so two oil lamps were lit on the table. In the dark night of the village, they seemed like lamps guiding the family members who had worked all day to gather together.

I felt the warmth of home.

Zhou Qingwen walked straight out and said, "Wife."

Yu Yalan brought out a plate of stir-fried lamb offal: "Hmm, you're awake. Go wash your face, and we can have dinner in a bit."

"Okay." Zhou Qingwen went to the side, drew some well water, wiped his face haphazardly, and washed his hands.

His eyes followed Yu Yalan's figure as she walked away.

Liu Yue'e said with a smile, "Go and sit down, it'll be ready to eat in a bit, they're making corn porridge."

Zhou Qingwen said, "I'll help serve the food too."

The golden corn porridge has the aroma of corn.

On the table were the crispy and fragrant pancakes made by my second sister-in-law, with fillings prepared by Yu Yalan.

Both sisters-in-law are excellent cooks.

The family sat down to eat.

Zhou Feitian coughed slightly: "Ahem~ I have something to say."

"Dad, please tell me."

Zhou Qingwen stared intently at Zhou Feitian as he spoke.

"Qingwen handed over the money from selling mutton to your mother. I'm thinking of making a new cotton quilt for the family."

Zhou Qingwen asked with slight surprise, "Dad, do people who make quilts even work in the middle of summer?"

Liu Yue'e immediately replied, "Yes, I did. I asked about it."

Zhou Qingwen immediately asked with concern, "Dad, Mom, do you still use blankets in the summer?"

Zhou Feitian tensed up slightly: "It's your mother. She needs a blanket, not a very thick one, just a thin one."

Zhou Qingwen tensed slightly, placed his hand on Liu Yue'e's hand, and said with a worried look, "Mom, you actually need to use a blanket in the summer?"

Liu Yue'e nodded slightly: "When I gave birth to you, there wasn't much to eat during my postpartum period, and I developed a slight illness, such as being sensitive to cold. But I'm used to it, so it's nothing to worry about."

Zhou Qingwen felt a pang of heartache: "Mom, I'll go hunt two young wild goats tomorrow. I heard that lamb wine made from them can warm the body. When I bring them back, please invite someone who knows how to make wine over to our house and make several jars of lamb wine so you can drink it every day!"

Zhou Feitian agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Yes, Qingwen is right, let's listen to his arrangements."

Zhou Qinghe and Zhou Qingshan both comforted her, saying, "Mom, listen to your third brother."

"Okay, sure."

Liu Yue'e was afraid of spending money. She had been frugal her whole life. She wouldn't even buy a pound of ordinary liquor, let alone such an expensive lamb liquor.

She was even more reluctant to spend a single penny on herself.

However, now that her whole family has told her to make lamb wine, she has no choice but to find someone to make it for her tomorrow.

Zhou Qingwen sneaked up the mountain in the middle of the night.

We walked towards the area where the wild goats roamed.

When we arrived, it was still quite dark, with only a faint glow.

Zhou Qingwen carefully took out three darts. He used to throw two at a time, but rarely threw three at a time.

Zhou Qingwen aimed at the bodies of several lambs.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The feel of using three darts was pretty good, and soon all three lambs hit the darts.

The wild goats fled at breakneck speed, fearing that if they were even a step too slow, they would lose their lives.

Zhou Qingwen went over, bled all three lambs, retrieved the darts, wiped them clean with a cotton towel, and put them back in the dart bag.

Carrying the three lambs, he hurried home.

Zhou Feitian didn't go to work early in the morning. He asked the team leader for a day off, then took an oxcart to town and bought several large barrels of yellow wine.

Zhou Feitian was very confident in Zhou Qingwen. He believed that if his son said he could catch a lamb, he would definitely have a chance to catch one.

Even if it arrives a few days later, it's the same, but the rice wine needs to be prepared well in advance.

Liu Yue'e also had to buy the bran for making lamb wine from her relatives in the village.

You need to prepare enough of this stuff, otherwise you'll mess things up if you have to search for it at the last minute.

To make lamb wine, one must invite Zhou Huamei, the second daughter of Zhou Shengfang, the deputy head of the family, who is also the fourth aunt in the family.

She is a master brewer among the Zhou family's relatives.

Every move they make is a masterpiece!

Zhou Qinghe went to Luoqing Production Brigade early in the morning to invite her over.

Zhou Qingwen has already returned.
