Raising Children in the Frontier with My General Husband [70s]

When Qin Qingman woke up, not only had she traveled back to the resource-scarce 1970s, but she also found herself with nothing.

The wooden house was drafty, and outside was a frozen wasteland...

Chapter 88

After several people watched Wei Ling leave, Huang Xingye led Qin Qingman and Chuchu toward the crowd, introducing them: "Comrade Qin Qingman, there are a lot of pigs to be killed in the division today. You can take the command. We will all follow your command."

How could Qin Qingman dare to boast in front of Huang Xingye? She quickly said modestly: "Uncle Huang, there is no such thing as listening to my instructions. Blood sausage and sausage are both very simple. We can do it together."

"Okay, let's do it together."

Huang Xingye admired Qin Qingman's humility. At the same time, he reached into his pocket, took out a few candies and handed them to Chuchu.

"Originally, kids my age should call me Grandpa, but since you and Wei Ling are family, I won't take advantage of Wei Ling."

Huang Xingye was worried that Qin Qingman and her brother would feel restrained, so he made a joke.

Qin Qingman and Chuchu both laughed. Qin Qingman said, "Uncle Huang, my brother was born late, so he took advantage of many people. But as long as we are not too particular about addressing people, we sometimes address them according to their age."

Chuchu also said, "Yes, just like our village secretary grandpa. According to the generational division, I should call him secretary uncle like my sister, but I am too young and secretary grandpa is over 50 years old, so I can only call him grandpa."

"ChuChu is such a lovely child."

Huang Xingye put the candy into Chuchu's hand.

He exchanged these candies with someone because he knew there would be kids coming today, and it seemed like it was worth it.

"Thank you, Uncle Huang."

Chuchu saw that Huang Xingye really wanted to give her candy. Thinking of Wei Ling's attitude towards Huang Xingye, she took the candy from Huang Xingye without waiting for Qin Qingman to speak.

Huang Xingye's mood instantly became very good.

He is not good-looking to begin with, and the injured part is on his face. Generally speaking, not only children would be scared when they see him, but even adults would have fear in his eyes, so he actually doesn't like to interact with strangers.

The reason why Qin Qingman and Chuchu met was because of Wei Ling.

Before meeting them, Huang Xingye was worried that the siblings were afraid of him. But when he actually met Qin Qingman and her brother, he really didn't have any worries at all. He even regretted that he met Qin Qingman too late.

Because the brother and sister didn't pretend to be calm, they really weren't afraid at all.

"Comrade Qin Qingman, you are at home here. If you need anything, just tell us. We have no scruples. Everything we do is to ensure that the soldiers have good meals and are well fed."

Huang Xingye's words are more sincere.

"Okay." Qin Qingman heard the implication of Huang Xingye's words and was more satisfied.

She came here to help, not to show off or to please anyone.

“Hehehehe——”

As the two were communicating, loud pig squeals were heard.

The pig tied to the ground may have sensed its impending fate and began to struggle unwillingly, with its cries becoming louder and louder.

"Master Huang, can we start killing the pigs now?"

The cafeteria staff had already prepared everything. The hot water in several large iron pots was about to boil. Everyone, who had been looking forward to slaughtering the old year pig and eating meat all year round, looked at Huang Xingye and Qin Qingman with bright eyes.

Everyone already knew Qin Qingman's identity before she even arrived.

At this time, they saw her getting off Wei Ling's car, and everyone understood Qin Qingman's identity even more. Everyone was looking forward to Qin Qingman teaching everyone how to cook delicious food. Didn't they see some of the guys who were taking a break strolling to the cafeteria at this time?

The purpose is to watch Qin Qingman direct everyone to cook delicious food.

Everyone was too embarrassed to urge Qin Qingman, so they could only urge the familiar Huang Xingye.

Don’t be fooled by Huang Xingye’s fierce appearance. He is fierce at times, but that is all an illusion. The fierceness is just a fake one.

Huang Xingye was urged by everyone and saw everyone's purpose. He quickly led Qin Qingman forward and introduced her, "Comrades, this is Qin Qingman, a comrade specially invited by the division to help us make new food. Everyone, please welcome her warmly."

“Pah, pah, pah.”

In addition to the enthusiastic applause, many people looked at Qin Qingman with enthusiastic eyes.

The look was so passionate that Qin Qingman felt pressured.

"Comrades, this little comrade is called Chuchu, and the little animal in Chuchu's arms is called Dudu. Please take good care of her and make sure she doesn't fall." In addition to introducing Qin Qingman seriously, Huang Xingye also introduced Chuchu and the wolf cub to everyone.

Very formal.

It can be seen that he really respects the Qin siblings.

"Comrade Chuchu, come, I'll show you how to kill a pig. It's safe here."

The people who spoke were soldiers who came to watch from the crowd. They were not from the cafeteria, but they were more concerned about tonight's pig slaughter than the people in the cafeteria.

"Chu Chu, come here, brother will take you."

The soldier who greeted Chuchu didn't dare to take advantage of Wei Ling, so he only dared to let Chuchu call him brother.

Chu Chu looked at Qin Qingman hesitantly. He knew that Qin Qingman should be very busy today and might not have time to take care of himself.

"Go ahead. That boy is called Du Ming. He is the captain of the third company of the first regiment and a soldier under Wei Ling. Don't worry, if he dares not lead Chuchu and Dudu well, Wei Ling will definitely deal with that boy." Huang Xingye explained Du Ming's identity to Qin Qingman.

Qin Qingman immediately nodded to Chuchu with relief.

At the same time, he reminded her, "Chu Chu, you all must listen to Comrade Du Ming."

"I know, sister. Don't worry." Chuchu replied and ran towards Du Ming holding Dudu.

I ran quite happily.

Originally the child was a little timid and afraid of so many strangers in the division headquarters, but as it turned out, Huang Xingye and the people around him all looked at him with kindness, and he was no longer afraid instantly.

Whenever the boy thought of his brother-in-law's position in the division, he would feel boundless courage.

"Hey, Chuchu, the thing in your arms is a wolf cub, right?" Du Ming recognized Dudu's true identity as soon as he saw Dudu in Chuchu's arms.

"Yes, his name is Dudu. He is very obedient and doesn't bite people. He is still young and drinks milk."

After Chu Chu knew that Wei Ling could cover the situation, she no longer hid the wolf cub's identity and put the wolf cub down.

As soon as the wolf cub got to the ground, he jumped up and down excitedly.

The young fellow was interested in everything, and was particularly excited about visiting the division headquarters for the first time. The wolf cub regarded the entire division headquarters as his territory because he smelled Wei Ling's scent.

Wei Ling is its father, and Wei Ling’s territory is its territory.

That's the logic of Wolf Cub.

"Dudu, don't get your feet dirty, or I won't hold you later."

Chuchu squatted down and pointed at the wolf cub's feet. The wolf cub had lived with Qin Qingman and others for quite some time. Not only did he learn to be clean from the Qin family, he could also understand the general meaning based on the Qin family's pointing.

Seeing Chuchu pointing at his paws, Dudu lifted his feet and looked at the pink pads on them. He then looked at the pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the square, and a look of disgust appeared on his furry face.

It won't step on it, it's so dirty there.

Chuchu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Dudu understood what he meant. He was really worried that the wolf cub would run around with its fur all dirty, and then he wouldn't know whether he could still keep it.

"Your wolf cub is so smart. It seems to understand what you say."

The people around Du Ming saw the wolf cub's reaction with their own eyes and immediately became interested.

"Dudu has been with us since birth. He is very smart, smarter than some people." When Chuchu heard someone praising her wolf cub, she immediately talked about the wolf cub's intelligence with excitement.

"Little guy, your name is Dudu."

Du Ming squatted down and looked at the wolf cub carefully. He was really attracted by the wolf cub's intelligence. The other people stopped watching the slaughtered pigs and squatted down together, looking at the wolf cub with excitement on their faces.

At the same time, I sighed in my heart that the team leader is worthy of being the team leader. Other people raise dogs, but the team leader raises wolves. The contrast is a bit big.

The wolf cub was not like Chuchu. It was not timid at all at the division headquarters.

Faced with so many curious gazes, the wolf cub seemed to be possessed by Xiao Hei for an instant.

The chubby body stood proudly, and a pair of clear and bright eyes looked at Du Ming and the others. The arrogance on his hairy face was visible to the naked eye.

"This guy really looks like a child."

Du Ming's hand finally couldn't help but touch the wolf cub's back.

"Don't touch it." Chu Chu reminded him in time that his wolf cub was very picky about people and generally didn't let anyone touch it. He would get angry if anyone dared to touch the cub.

Sure enough, before Du Ming's hand touched the wolf cub's back, it was bitten by the wolf cub quickly.

This time the wolf cub was not joking, he was really biting.

The speed at which it attacked Du Ming was also much faster than when it was playing with Chuchu and the other children. Before Chuchu could finish her words, Du Ming's hand was bitten by the wolf cub.

This time, not only Du Ming was stunned, but the other people who were watching the excitement were also stunned.

The wolf cub was too fast and Du Ming couldn't avoid it.

"Dudu, let go. They are all our own people. We won't bite our own people." Chuchu squatted down anxiously and tried to pry the wolf cub's mouth open.

The wolf cub has grown teeth, can eat minced meat, and can definitely bite people painfully.

The wolf cub did not loosen its grip just because Chuchu opened it. Instead, it bit Du Ming's hand tighter and tighter, and a series of low growling sounds came out of its throat, which were threatening sounds.

Du Ming's expression became serious.

He felt pain in his hand, and although it wasn't bleeding, he believed that the wolf had left teeth marks on it.

Du Ming looked into the wolf cub's eyes and saw a firm intention to kill.

This is the look only a wolf has.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched you without your consent." Du Ming understood the look in the wolf cub's eyes. His touch was just a teasing to him, but to the wolf, it was a provocation.

It is a proactive attack.

"Dudu, open your mouth. Brother Du Ming didn't mean it. He has apologized to you. Please open your mouth quickly." Chuchu tried her best to calm the wolf cub's emotions.

The wolf cub's ears moved, and finally he slowly loosened his bite on Du Ming's hand.

As soon as the wolf's mouth left, everyone saw the deep teeth marks left on Du Ming's palm. From the teeth marks, it can be seen that the wolf cub is really just a cub and its teeth are not fully developed.

"Does the tooth hurt?"

Chuchu didn't care about Du Ming, an adult, and quickly checked Dudu's teeth.

Dudu's teeth are still baby teeth, which are not sharp and have not yet fully grown, so they can be easily hurt.

“Awoooooooooooooooo——”

The wolf cub crawled into Chuchu's arms with its head down, and its teeth hurt.

"Drink goat's milk when we go back. We won't eat meat today." Chu Chu was heartbroken and quickly hugged the wolf cub to comfort him.

"Awooo--" the wolf cub stretched out his weak legs.

"Is your foot injured too?" Chu Chu checked the wolf cub's feet in surprise.

Du Ming and several other people immediately understood the nature of the wolf cub. This thing was fierce, but only in front of outsiders. It was extremely weak to the Qin family.

"Lao Du, you're such a jerk, you deserve to be bitten."

Some people started to laugh at Du Ming.

Du Ming also knew that he was being reckless. No matter how small a wolf cub is, it is still a wolf and has the same attributes as a wolf. He really can't treat it as a puppy.

"Brother Du Ming, I'm sorry."

Chu Chu lived and ate with the wolf cub every day, so how could she not see through the wolf cub's tricks? After comforting the wolf cub with a few words, she immediately apologized to Du Ming in a low voice, saying that her cub had bitten someone.

"Chu Chu, you don't have to apologize. It was me who didn't respect Dudu enough. I should be the one to say sorry."

Du Ming apologized in return very sensibly.

"Brother Du Ming, I'll ask my brother-in-law to bring you medicine." Chu Chu was still very responsible.

"No, kid, please don't do that. I'm not hurt. There's nothing wrong with my hand. If you don't believe me, check it out."

Du Ming was severely shocked by Chu Chu's words.

It was originally his fault. If the matter was brought to the attention of Wei Ling, he would definitely be punished. He did not want to run ten kilometers in such weather. Running ten kilometers with a heavy load was not something a human could run.

Chuchu carefully examined Du Ming's hand and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no skin breakage.

"Hehehe——" Just as the big and the small were about to say something, a violent scream rang out.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"They're killing pigs. Look, they're killing pigs."

Du Ming and Chu Chu's attention was also attracted to it at the first moment.

Killing pigs and eating their meat is a logical law that no one, whether adults or children, can escape. Even if we watch pigs being slaughtered every year, people still enjoy watching the slaughter of the New Year pig.

"You killed a lot of pigs today. Much more than we killed in our stockpile."

Chu Chu couldn't help but sigh.

"There are nearly ten thousand of us here. It's very rare for so many people to kill pigs together once a year." Du Ming was excited about the pig-killing scene in the square and wanted to rush up to help.

"So many people?"

Chu Chu was shocked.

"Of course, this is our division headquarters. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only a few people here at ordinary times. In fact, there are a lot of people, and each has his or her own mission. At the end of the year, more people will come back. In a day or two, you will see even more people." Du Ming was amused by the expression on Chu Chu's face.

"With so many people, how much meat will be needed?"

Chu Chu felt that she was a little overwhelmed.

"We consume at least a few pigs a day, so we'd better eat them sparingly. Today is when we slaughter the old pigs and eat the food, so we might consume a little more." Du Ming couldn't help touching the corner of his mouth when he talked about the food.

He was hungry, not only in his stomach, but also in his appetite.

"By the way, Chuchu, I heard that Comrade Qin Qingman's cooking is particularly delicious, is that true?" The pig had just been slaughtered, and if Du Ming wanted to eat slaughtered pig dishes, he would have to have it at least that night, so he had to change the subject.

When Chu Chu heard the topic was about Qin Qingman, she nodded and said, "Well, the dishes my sister cooks are especially delicious."

Du Ming and the people around him swallowed hard.

They had never eaten the food cooked by Qin Qingman, but they had smelled the aroma of the food cooked by Qin Qingman, because sometimes at noon when they went to Wei Ling to report the situation, they might meet Wei Ling eating.

The shiny meat dishes and the rich meat aroma had already made them all salivate with desire.

"I heard that Comrade Qin Qingman is here to direct the canteen to prepare the pig slaughtering dish today?"

Du Ming then revealed the news to Chu Chu.

Chuchu was stunned. Didn't he remember asking his sister to teach him how to make glutinous rice blood enema and sausage? Why did it involve slaughtering pigs?

"I don't know." The child shook his head honestly. He really didn't know.

"I heard from many people that Comrade Qin Qingman was in charge of preparing the pig slaughter today, so I didn't leave the camp even during my leave, just to stay and enjoy the pig slaughter." Du Ming's eyes sparkled as he looked at the fat pigs being slaughtered in the square.

"We also heard that it was Comrade Qin Qingman who did the killing of the pigs and did not leave the camp."

Several other people also happened to be on vacation.

Chu Chu heard several people say this and had to vouch for Qin Qingman, "My sister can definitely make the most delicious slaughtered pig dish."

"Of course!"

Du Ming and several others said in unison.

Even if Wei Ling didn't show off Qin Qingman's cooking skills to his subordinates, Du Hongyi and others could still help him show off.

In addition, with Wang Chengping and other leaders occasionally competing for food, the entire XXX Division knew that Qin Qingman was an excellent cook.

If Qin Qingman wasn't Wei Ling's wife, someone would have suggested to the division commander Wang Chengping that Qin Qingman come to work in the division cafeteria.

As everyone was eagerly staring at the pig-killing scene, Huang Xingye also called Qin Qingman aside and whispered, "Comrade Qin, I don't know which guy spread the news. Now the whole division thinks you are here to preside over the pig-killing dinner tonight."

"I?"

Qin Qingman was stunned.

She remembered that she agreed to help direct the making of glutinous rice blood enema and sausage.

Just now, she had instructed the people in the cafeteria to gather all the ingredients for making sausages and cut and grind them. They would just wait for the pigs to be cleaned out so that they could cut the meat and marinate it immediately. By the time the blood stuffing was done, the meat for the sausages should also have been marinated and could be stuffed.

Huang Xingye saw Qin Qingman's surprise and explained a little embarrassedly: "I guess those bastards are tired of my cooking and are deliberately spreading misinformation."

He still knows the shortcomings of his cooking skills.

"Uncle Huang, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Although Qin Qingman had not been in contact with Huang Xingye for a long time, she could still feel Huang Xingye's true character to some extent.

Although Huang Xingye had a problem with his taste, no one else in the cafeteria had a problem.

At most, he can just ask people to cooperate with him when he cooks what he needs to put in the dishes. He doesn't have to cook all the dishes himself.

Huang Xingye smiled at Qin Qingman and did not answer the question.

Then Qin Qingman understood.

Although Qin Qingman didn't know the reason, there was no need to expose it. She just asked about the current trouble, "Uncle Huang, how are you going to arrange the pig slaughter tonight?"

"It should be okay if I call you Qingman," Huang Xingye said.

"Uncle, everyone in our village calls me that. It's more intimate when you call me that." Qin Qingman didn't feel offended by Huang Xingye calling her that. She felt that it was a sign of a closer relationship and that Huang Xingye truly acknowledged her as his junior.

Huang Xingye saw that Qin Qingman was sincere, so he didn't hesitate to say, "Qingman girl, why don't you stay here today and cook the pig-killing dishes?"

After saying this, he was worried that Qin Qingman felt that the responsibility was too great, so he added: "I will help you and ensure that you don't feel pressured. The other people in the cafeteria will also follow your command."

Qin Qingman believes in the execution of the military.

Although the division headquarters canteen is called a canteen, all the people working there are military personnel.

Regardless of their military service, soldiers must obey orders.

Qin Qingman only thought for a few seconds before nodding in agreement. She could see that Huang Xingye was sincerely inviting her, and that those eager eyes outside were not just here to watch the slaughter of the New Year pig, but they were definitely looking forward to the annual pig slaughtering dishes.

"Qingman girl, it's settled. You will be the chef."

Huang Xingye excitedly determined Qin Qingman's current status.

After dozens of pigs are slaughtered, they have to be cut up and made into various delicacies.

The lunch was still prepared by Chef Huang Xing. Even if Qin Qingman wanted to help, she was powerless. There were dozens of small and large intestines from dozens of pigs, and all of them had to be made into sausages and glutinous rice blood enema, which was definitely not something that could be done simply by opening your mouth.

In addition to teaching step by step, Qin Qingman also has to conduct inspections to ensure quality.

So for lunch, everyone had the same old flavor, and they were even more looking forward to the pig-killing dish in the evening.

Because Huang Xingye clearly stated that Qin Qingman would be responsible for dinner.

At noon, Wei Ling looked unhappy when he came to Qin Qingman and her brother for lunch. He originally wanted to let his wife relax a little, but he didn't expect that she would have to take on the job of cooking dinner.

Whenever Wei Ling thought about Qin Qingman having to cook for tens of thousands of people in the entire division, his face became especially cold.

This made Wang Chengping, the instigator, dare not reveal that it was he who did the evil.
