As far as one can remember, the Qiu family has been poor for at least three generations, but their background couldn't be better, and Qiu Dahe successfully obtained the qualification to join the army.
Although it was not the end of the year yet to calculate work points, when distributing the brigade's harvest, Mother Qiu still gritted her teeth and scraped together enough to make cotton jackets and cotton shoes for her children.
Qiu Yuling always had a good harvest these days, a pheasant or a rabbit from time to time, and she even killed two hungry sparrows in front of Qiu's mother by shooting down two birds with one stone.
The Qiu family now has complete faith in Qiu Yuling's magical skills and no longer thinks it is strange for her to bring back small prey.
Li Qingtong also went to Yancao Lake several more times before winter, but the prey's agility was beyond his imagination, and he ultimately failed to achieve the same good harvest as that day.
He thought this was weird. It didn't make sense that a grown man like him could not compare to a little girl.
Qiu Yuling and her fourth uncle stood in the dry, cold northwest wind, looking for sparrows in the saxaul trees like idiots.
"You've gone crazy, picking on a little kid." Mother Qiu glanced at her clueless little brother with displeasure. It was almost time for the marriage, but why was he so out of tune?
"You've only practiced a few times, and this girl doesn't work. Apart from the time she sits in the classroom, she plays with the slingshot all day long. Isn't she amazing?"
Mother Qiu distributed the food and asked everyone to eat quickly. It was a rare day of free time because her fourth sister was getting married and she would be rushing back to her parents' home soon.
After hearing this, Qiu Yuling ate a little faster. Her fourth uncle had whetted her appetite with rabbit fur since early morning, and she really couldn't wait to see the grandma's fur.
The wisdom of the ancients should never be underestimated. Whether it was her second uncle's skill in tanning leather or her grandmother's exquisite craftsmanship, Qiu Yuling's eyes lit up even after hearing her mother's casual words.
My fourth uncle boasted that there was a wolfskin mattress at home, which my grandfather had hunted when he was young. It was said that my grandfather’s craftsmanship was even more amazing.
Qiu Yuling: They are all folk artists!
Mother Qiu cleaned up quickly and finished it in no time. Father Qiu and her brothers were not going today, and there was a crack in the back wall of the house, so she had to clean it up.
Qiu Yuling took the opportunity to ask for her own room. Her classmates also lived on their own, and she was so old and still slept in the middle...
Mr. Qiu would just agree blindly, but Mrs. Qiu gave a follow-up plan after serious consideration: build the house, it will definitely be built, but not this year.
Qiu Yuling kept asking, if not this year, when will it be built?
Mother Qiu: I really feel full after having a few full meals!
Qiu Yuling also smiled awkwardly, she really wasn't a little girl anymore. If it were any other heroine, she would have been anxious a long time ago. She was very good at hiding.
Forget it, she estimated that she couldn't wait too long. After these 61 years, at least the farmers would be able to eat. By then, her eldest brother would have to get married, and after getting married, he would have to build a house.
At Li Qingtong's strong request, they took a detour and passed through Yancao Lake. On the way, Qiu Yuling watched her mother and fourth uncle chatting, while she took the time to smuggle the small animals across.
You know, rabbits reproduce very quickly. In just a short period of time, her rabbit house has doubled in size, and the rabbits have naturally doubled in size as well.
She didn't have to risk going out to the black market to sell them, as the system mall would buy them at the market price. Sometimes she would trade for 2 points coins per rabbit, and sometimes for 3 points coins. Anyway, she had already made back her money from buying the rabbits.
Good lady Qiu Yuling donated another hundred rabbits and pheasants for free, and spent an extra ten points on remote delivery. Don't be envious, because she learned from the delivery instructions that the delivery range cannot exceed ten kilometers from her.
But this has perfectly solved the problem. Otherwise, it would be like pooping, dropping it all the way along the way. Just thinking about it is dangerous and exciting.
"Rabbit, Rabbit, look, sister, I told you I wasn't lying."
"These creatures spend the winter in the same place. I guess there aren't many people visiting this area, so they have plenty of energy to reproduce. Look, two of them have already scurried past right under our feet."
As Li Qingtong spoke, he quickly put down the backpack and drew his bow to release the bullet.
"Whoosh~" the pebble flew past the back of the rabbit's head, and the next second the rabbit lay down with its legs spread out.
Li Qingtong turned his head with resentment. It turned out that it was his good niece who took action.
An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look!
Qiu Yuling is not like her uncle, who is a fake. Whenever she takes aim, she rarely misses. Qiu's mother also automatically joins the atmosphere group.
Hold your breath, inhale, yeah! All in one go! Pick it up.
When Qiu's mother came, she was carrying five pounds of sorghum flour. Now she carefully took out the flour bag and put the prey underneath. She also followed her brother's example and used red willow branches to raise the backpack. When she really couldn't fit any more, she gave up.
Today we had a really good harvest, just like blowing up a rabbit nest and a pheasant nest. I don’t know what’s going on with those little idiots, they rush out from time to time, but it’s a good thing for them.
Fortunately, they stopped. If they did it a few more times, she was afraid that they would give her the title of "lucky fish" and make some ridiculous wishes to her. What should she do then?
Because they were delayed for a long time on the road and it gets dark late here in the winter, it was already dark when they arrived, but the people who came to propose marriage had not left yet.
Today is the day when relatively many people are here. Except for my third uncle's family who live far away in the mining area, and my second aunt's family who married into Mengli, almost everyone is here.
Qiu Yuling looked with a headache at the little kids chattering around her. She couldn't name any of them. Even though they were relatives, she wasn't really familiar with them.
They didn't come when she came, and she wasn't there when they came. They tried to avoid peak hours as much as possible, which resulted in her not being able to name any of them now.
My third aunt has two sons and one daughter. The daughter is twelve years old. The delicate cat is beside her mother without making a sound. The two sons are as naughty as monkeys and have already run to the backyard to play on the swing.
My uncle has three children, and the daughter is in the middle. But the youngest one is older than Qiu Yuling. When Qiu Yuling came back last time, they had also gone to her maternal and middle school parents' home, so she didn't get to see them.
My second uncle has only one son and one daughter, who are said to be only one year apart in age. It seems that my second aunt was injured when she gave birth to the children so close to each other, and she has never been pregnant since then. The two children are still older than Qiu Yuling.
So the little kid Qiu Yuling thought she was was still called brother...
The only one who calls her sister is the third son of her third aunt, Tiedan!
Qiu Yuling originally wanted to imitate her cousin and stay quietly beside her mother, but she didn't expect that her kind fourth uncle no longer used the repressive education method to educate her. Instead, he praised her unprecedentedly in front of a group of little kids.
Not to mention that the youngest Tiedan was willing to call her sister, even her third aunt's second son called her Sister Ling all the time and asked for her advice.
She said that it was too dark to see and she would show off her skills tomorrow, but she didn't expect that her fourth uncle who was not married yet would also be disgusted.
