"Yes, Shitang must be alive."
The old man was afraid of saying more and making mistakes, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Hey, this is your and Shitang's yard. It's well-kept. Don't you have two chickens, ducks, and geese?"
Qian Jinyu shook her head, went to the small pile of firewood outside, picked up some grass and brought it back to use in the kitchen to start a fire.
"I go out early and come back late, so I'm not at home all day, so I don't have any children.
If you want to eat eggs, just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some. If all else fails, you can go up the mountain and hunt pheasants or something. There’s no shortage of meat either, there’s everything in the mountains.”
Hearing him say this, the two elders were happy.
"According to what you said, this entire mountain has become your breeding farm.
If you want to eat some meat, just go to the mountains and hunt it, right?"
Qian Jinyu was about to nod when Grandma Liu beside her quickly said:
"Don't go up the mountain so often in the future. You're pregnant now, and the first three months are especially important.
Even if you are in good health, you can't just do it carelessly. What if you encounter a snake or some other danger when you go up the mountain?
He didn’t have a hunting rifle.”
Then he turned and looked at Mr. Liu.
"Bring your Type 56 semi-automatic rifle over to the girl later."
Without waiting for Mr. Liu to speak, Qian Jinyu quickly refused.
"I can't use your gun. Besides, there's no danger here. You two elders know that I'm quite strong with a slingshot.
At worst, I won’t go into the mountains anymore and can just take a walk outside!
The gun still has recoil, and I can't use it well."
One more thing to say, in five or six years, all the guns distributed to them will be taken back.
Even hunting rifles will be confiscated.
Her slingshot is still more convenient. Besides, she has no space. She can't carry a gun around with her for no reason, right?
Just think about how embarrassing that scene was?
Hearing her refusal, Mr. Liu snorted:
"You really don't need it?
I won’t give it to you if you don’t need it.”
Qian Jinyu shook his head and refused sternly.
"I really don't need it. When Shi Tang first said he wanted to get me a hunting rifle, I refused.
It's not the same as before. How can I carry a gun up the mountain all day long? What would that look like?
Besides, this place is close to the garrison, so it's not good to fire randomly, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."
Her analysis makes sense.
Grandma Liu nodded.
"Then I'm really worried about you being here alone, why don't you move in with us?"
Qian Jinyu shook his head.
"I appreciate Grandma Liu's kindness, and I know you are doing this for my own good.
I just want to stay here so that if Shitang comes back, I can see him first."
"What a silly child, okay, then don't come to our place so often in the future, just wait for us to pick you up at home.
During this period, we have to stay in the county clinic most of the time."
“Grandma, you don’t have to go through so much trouble to come pick me up and walk such a long way.
I'll just ride my bike over there, nothing will happen, I'll be careful, don't worry."
Grandma Liu is worried about her.
"Forget it, let's do this. I'll stay at your place for the next few nights and let the old man go back by himself.
Anyway, if I go to the clinic, he won’t be able to help me.”
Grandpa Liu looked at her with a sad look in his eyes.
Thinking about Qian Jinyu's situation, I can only bear the pain and let her go temporarily.
“All right then!
You have made your decision, and I certainly have no objection.
Don't you want me to accompany you to the clinic these days?"
"Just stay home. You don't need to feed the chickens. Besides, you don't understand anything, so there's no point in you going!"
Grandpa Liu was disliked, so he clasped his hands together in front of his chest and said in a funny way:
"Okay, you women hold up half the sky, and I, an old man, will provide you with backup and logistics support.
I wish the two female generals who are about to go to the ‘battlefield’ a successful start!”
Grandma Liu looked at him with amusement.
"He's still funny even at his age."
Grandma Liu told Qian Jinyu to go and have a rest while she cooked noodles.
They were preparing dinner and she hadn't closed the gate yet when Niu Lanhua peeked in from outside.
Qian Jinyu took a broom and swept the yard. She had just arrived and had not started raising poultry yet.
The yard can be cleaned up now.
Seeing Niu Lanhua peeking into the yard, he glanced at her lightly, but unexpectedly, Niu Lanhua became more excited.
She looked at Qian Jinyu with a smug smile, and her face was full of gloating. Qian Jinyu could guess what she was here for even with just a little thought.
"Get lost. I'm in a bad mood right now. Be careful or I'll beat you up."
Niu Lanhua rolled her eyes and curled her lips.
"Why are you so proud? I think your Captain Shi might have been defeated by you, right?
Captain Shi was fine before, how come he died on a mission less than a month after you married him?
It must be your bad luck that killed Captain Shi.
If I were you, I would have no face to live.
I see you don't seem that sad, I really feel sorry for Captain Shi."
Qian Jinyu walked closer to her.
"Niu Lanhua, as soon as you came here I knew you hadn't held your fart well.
Sure enough, what he said was disgusting!
And what are you talking about? Are you being feudal and superstitious?
Believe it or not, I will report you?
Besides, who said Shitang is dead?
Brigade Commander Gao hasn't issued an ultimatum, are you sure about this?
What, you know more than the brigade commander?
Or do you know something that we don't?
Oh, are you collaborating with the enemy?
If that's the case, even your brother, Political Commissar Niu, will have to be investigated thoroughly.
