Chapter 267: Exhumation
Su Qiao and the children looked out of the car window and saw the village tractor rumbling towards the village entrance.
Qin Tao, wearing a gray Lenin suit that was washed to a pale color but looked clean and tidy, stood in the truck bed of the tractor with a beaming face. He looked several years younger.
Seeing the car, Qin Tao quickly called out to Qin Hu, who was driving a tractor in front, to stop.
Here, Wang Youyi also stopped the car.
When Qin Tao jumped off the tractor, Qin Zhengrong helped Su Qiao get off the car.
When Qin Tao saw Qin Zhengrong and Su Qiao, he immediately shook their hands with excitement.
"Zhengrong, Qiaoqiao, you are back!"
"Qiao Qiao, our production team owes a lot to you!
If it weren't for you, how could we live such a prosperous life——" Qin Tao held Su Qiao's hand with his hands full of old cracks and said, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Qin Zhengrong thanked Wang Youyi and transferred all their luggage to the production team's tractor.
After Su Qiao greeted Qin Tao, she quickly went to invite Wang Youyi, "Brother Wang, how about we go to your house for dinner before leaving?"
"We brought the food back and we can cook it at home and eat it."
Wang Youyi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to bother me today.
Some other day, some other day I will definitely come to have a drink with Lao Qin, and I will have to trouble my sister-in-law then."

The villagers originally came to pick up Qin Tao who was going to attend a meeting to receive commendation.
Seeing Qin Zhengrong and Su Qiao coming back at this time, they left Qin Tao aside and gathered around Su Qiao.
Su Qiao heard the sisters-in-law and aunts of the production team talk about how much money they had made from collecting herbs in the mountains in the past six months, and the growth of the herbs in the fields...
Everyone's face was filled with anticipation for a better future, adding more color to the New Year's celebration.
Everyone asked enthusiastically how many days Su Qiao would stay this time.
Until they arrived at the gate of Su Qiao's house, everyone was still suggesting to Qin Tao that they should ask Su Qiao to give them a lecture while she was at home.
After everyone dispersed, Qin Tao, smoking a pipe, followed Su Qiao and Qin Zhengrong into the yard.
"Girl Qiao Qiao, uncle wants to discuss with you about the lecture that everyone asked you to give just now." Qin Tao said straight to the point as soon as he entered the room.
“Although our production team made some money this year, it was all from the money we earned from collecting and selling herbs in the mountains.
Now the licorice on the mountain has been almost dug up, and next year we can only rely on those planted in the fields.
I have taught you how to plant the licorice according to what you said in your letter, but the licorice in the field is still wilting during this period. "
When Qin Tao said this, there was a hint of worry between his brows.
Without waiting for Su Qiao to reply, he hurriedly said, "By the way, Qiao Qiao, our lecture is not in vain.
Our production team has been selected by the township as a demonstration site and has a target for hiring technical personnel. I will apply for a position as a technical consultant for you.
There is a monthly allowance of 10 yuan, plus 5 jin of fine grain and 20 jin of coarse grain.”
Su Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle, I'll take the job."
In the end, she would definitely help her fellow villagers even if it was for free.
She will never forget the kindness shown to her by her fellow villagers.
Now Qin Tao is applying for a job for her, with allowances and subsidies, so she will definitely not refuse.
"Okay." Qin Tao smiled happily and took a puff of his pipe. "Then I'll go back and make arrangements. When you're ready, let me know and I'll gather everyone to attend the class."
Seeing that Qin Tao was about to leave, Su Qiao quickly gave Qin Tao a portion of the gift she had brought back.
"Uncle, we didn't bring anything back this time. I made some snacks myself and will bring them back as snacks for the kids during the New Year.
This marinated rabbit is pickled from the rabbits that the three children raised themselves. "
Qin Tao did not refuse, took the things and said, "Okay, I accept your kindness."
Not long after Qin Tao left, Su Qiao was about to go to the house of her second aunt and Qin Xue next door with gifts when Qin Tao's two grandsons arrived.
The two children each held a piece of bacon weighing two pounds.
They all ran to Su Qiao and said, "Aunt Qiao Qiao, here, Grandpa asked us to bring this to you."
Su Qiao was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. No wonder Qin Tao was so straightforward when he accepted her things. It turned out that he had already decided to reciprocate.
Su Qiao could only let Qin Zhengrong accept the bacon, touched the heads of the two little guys, and then asked Dabao to take out the candies and snacks they brought back and give them to the two little guys.
The three children in the family took some candies and snacks and ran out to play with Qin Tao's two grandsons.
After a while, he was running all over the mountain with the children from the village.
It can be seen that although the three kids have not lived here for a long time, they have formed an exceptionally deep friendship with the children in the village.
Su Qiao delivered the gift for the second aunt to her house, exchanged a few words with her, and then went to Qin Xue's parents' home.
According to custom, the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day for married women to return to their parents' home.
Su Qiao originally thought that she could see Qin Xue, but she didn't expect that Qin Xue didn't come back at all.
Qin Xue's mother He Dani spoke of Qin Xue and said with some distress: "Xiao Xue is not strong enough, and she has suffered a lot while carrying a baby.
Just this morning when the son-in-law came to me she said that she had caught a cold these past two days and that she would not be coming back.
Her father and I are discussing that we should go to her husband's house tomorrow to see her. Her brother got her two cans of malt extract in the city a while ago. We will send them to her and also give her some refined grains."
As He Dani spoke, she also murmured in confusion, "Come to think of it, Xiaoxue has been strong since she was young, and she rarely caught a cold before she went out.
Is it so difficult for us to have a baby? Alas! "
Su Qiao smiled and held He Dani's hand and said, "Auntie, I will go with you to see Xiaoxue tomorrow.
I'll take a look at her and see if I can prescribe some medicine to help her recover."
When He Dani heard what Su Qiao said, she was so moved that she slapped her thigh and said, "Okay, okay, Qiao Qiao, it's great that you can go to see Xiaoxue.
The medicine you prescribed will definitely help Xiaoxue recover.”
After talking to He Dani, Su Qiao returned home when it was almost dark.
Qin Zhengrong had already cleaned the house thoroughly and even put the food on the table.
After dinner, Qin Zhengrong boiled some hot water and washed Su Qiao's feet.
After Su Qiao finished washing, he took a clean and refreshing towel and spread it on his legs, then held Su Qiao's pair of jade-like white feet and wiped them clean carefully.
Su Qiao looked at the man's focused expression, but she was thinking about other things in her heart.
When the man tucked her cleaned feet into the quilt, she frowned slightly and looked at him with a rare knot in her eyes, "Brother Zhengrong, if I open the coffin and perform an autopsy, will Grandpa blame me?"
If Su Jianguo poisoned Grandpa with cyanide, there would be evidence on his bones.
Opening the coffin and conducting an autopsy is the most direct way to find out the cause of grandpa's death.
Being buried in peace is everyone's final wish.
If possible, she really didn't want to disturb grandpa.
