Reborn in 78, I made my fortune by working in the mountains, supporting three families on my own.

But Zhao Lei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Bowen, leave professional matters to professionals. My forte is hunting in the mountains. Come with me, let's go hunting in the mountains!"

Hearing about hunting rekindled Qin Bowen's fighting spirit.

To be honest, although fishing this morning was very rewarding, it was completely different from the thrill of hunting in the mountains.

As a young man, Qin Bowen really enjoys these thrilling and exciting actions.

Every time he went hunting in the mountains with his brother-in-law, he would get incredibly excited.

Moreover, he had made a lot of money with Zhao Lei. As long as they could find good prey, they could earn several hundred yuan in one go. They could fish for several days straight.

Therefore, Qin Bowen also preferred to go hunting in the mountains, and he had no objection to this.

The four of them returned to the Peace Brigade in high spirits.

Zhao Lei suggested that they go fishing together again the next morning, and that he would hand over the fishing business to Wang Zongbao while he was at it.

No one objected.

Since the fish delivery order for the day had been completed, and after having a good lunch at Jinxiu Textile Factory, the four of them went home to take a nap.

Zhao Lei took a nap at home.

Jiang Xinyue and Su Wanqing have both recovered from their colds and returned to their respective posts today.

The three children were sent to Zhang Sanpo's house for care.

Zhao Lei had a rare quiet afternoon until three or four o'clock when Qin Dashan and Qin Bowen came to his house and woke him up.

After Qin Dashan finished harvesting the cornfields that had been knocked down by the strong wind, he kept thinking about the leaky roof at Zhao Lei's house while the weather was nice.

Taking advantage of the free time, I called Qin Bowen over.

The brothers met up and got to work, repairing the tiles and fixing the leaky roof.

Having men in the house makes all the difference. Three strong young men climbed the high wall and repaired the roof in just over three hours.

When Qin Yuchan rode her old bicycle back, she happened to see them busy on the roof. Her eyes lit up and she felt very happy.

Looking at Zhao Lei's figure, she suddenly felt a long-lost sense of security return to her heart.

It has to be said that Zhao Lei has completely changed in the two weeks since he came back.

Not only did he cut off all ties with those shady characters, but he also earned a considerable amount of money for his family.

And most of the money was spent on the family.

She bought them gifts, daily necessities, and even her old bicycle for commuting.

She attracted a lot of envy when she rode her bike to school today, which made her feel wonderful all day.

Normally, she gets out of school around 5 p.m. and doesn't get home until around 6:30 p.m.

But today, she was home in less than 20 minutes.

When he returned, he happened to see Zhao Lei and his older and younger brothers repairing the roof of their house, and a warm feeling immediately welled up in his heart.

She shouted towards the people on the roof, "Big brother, little brother, what brings you here?"

Qin Dashan and Qin Bowen looked down from the rooftop and saw Qin Yuchan return.

He replied cheerfully, "Little sister, it rained the other day, and your house was like a waterfall. Didn't your big brother say he'd fix your roof?"

"Yes, second sister, we'll be done fixing it soon."

Qin Yuchan replied, "Then please be careful and have dinner at home before you leave."

Zhao Lei interjected, "Yu Chan, there are still a few fish in the stone vat. Let's kill them and use them to entertain Brother Da Shan and the others."

"Okay, no problem."

After saying that, Qin Yuchan happily went to the woodshed to get busy.

Before long, Su Wanqing and Jiang Xinyue also returned one after another.

Upon seeing several figures squatting on the roof, he was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

The two of them had personally witnessed Zhao Lei's recent changes.

The roof had been leaking for a long time, and the women had wanted to repair it for a while, but unfortunately, they didn't have the skills.

Climbing onto the roof, which is more than three meters high, is also an extremely terrifying thing for them.

In addition, I have to take care of the children and earn work points to go to work. How can I have time to care about these things?

We don't have any spare money to hire help, so it's been delayed for so long.

This problem was only solved today.

In the days that followed, Zhao Lei was extremely busy earning money to repair the house.

The next morning, they went fishing.

At first, neither he nor Qin Bowen got involved, but they discovered that Wang Zongbao and Qin Changlin were quite skilled at fishing, catching more than 200 jin in just one morning.

Afterwards, Zhao Lei and his group went to Jinxiu Textile Factory again to deliver fish.

Zhao Lei also made a special trip to tell Director Li that from now on, Wang Zongbao and Qin Changlin would be the ones delivering the fish, as he had other things to do.

Factory Director Li naturally had no objections.

After dealing with this matter, Zhao Lei took Qin Bowen back into the mountains.

I originally wanted to bring Qin Dashan along, but Qin Dashan's father-in-law, Zhang Bohua, was already busy moving and drying corn at home.

There was nothing he could do; his wife nagged him every day, so he could only spare some time to go and help harvest the corn.

Therefore, Zhao Lei could only go into the mountains with Qin Bowen.

After returning to the mountains, Zhao Lei felt like a fish back in water, thriving perfectly.

After all, he had decades of experience guarding the mountain in his previous life, and now it was the time when corn was ripening, and many animals on the mountain had begun to come down to steal the crops.

Especially animals such as roe deer, wild boar, weasel, and fox.

Zhao Lei and Qin Bowen hardly needed to venture into the deep mountains; they could hunt a lot of prey simply by lying in wait near the farmland at the foot of the mountain.

Under Zhao Lei's guidance, Qin Bowen's hunting skills improved steadily, and the two brothers became increasingly coordinated and in sync.

Every day when they go out hunting, they bring back dozens of kilograms of prey.

If you're lucky, you might even be able to hunt a wild boar weighing two or three hundred pounds.

In addition, Wang Zongbao and Qin Changlin catch two to three hundred catties of fish every day and sell them to Jinxiu Textile Factory. The final transaction amount is usually around 150 to 200 yuan.

Zhao Lei owns 30% of the shares, and he earns about 50 to 60 yuan a day.

And so, the days passed by...

A week later, Jiang Xinyue received a reply from her mother, Wu Huili.

The letter stated that the younger brother, Jiang Chengfeng, had been released after paying 300 yuan in compensation.

And this setback helped him grow a lot.

The mother, Wu Huili, was very happy and surprised to receive 500 yuan. In the letter, she repeatedly asked if her son-in-law's family needed money, and at the same time gave a highly positive evaluation of her son-in-law, Zhao Lei.

Finally, at the end of the letter, Wu Huili also brought good news, saying that there had been new developments in the trial of Jiang Xinyue's father, Jiang Dingtian, in Beijing.

There has been a positive turn in the matter of Jiang Dingtian being labeled a capitalist and suspected of selling state-owned assets.

If all goes well, there is a significant possibility of a reversal of the verdict by the end of the year...

Jiang Xinyue was very happy after reading the letter, especially since there was a positive development in her father Jiang Dingtian's case.

That night, she deliberately pulled Zhao Lei into her room.

After the couple had a long talk, Jiang Xinyue expressed her deep gratitude to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei retorted, "What's the use of verbal gratitude? I want something tangible..."
