Chapter 218 Uncle Qin: I'll keep the tiger whip for you



"That would be great, that would be great."

When Uncle Qin heard Jia Dongsheng say he wanted the wolf meat, he was very happy and the smile on his face was extremely bright.

Qin's father also had a proud look on his face. After all, Jia Dongsheng was his son-in-law. If his son-in-law gave him face, how could he, as his father-in-law, not be happy?

"What's on the donkey cart at the end?"

The donkey cart was at the back, and Jia Dongsheng couldn't see clearly what was on it, so he asked curiously.

"There are some pheasants and more than 20 snakes. Dongsheng, you don't know that the hunters in our Qinjiagou are veteran hunters with 20 to 30 years of experience."

Uncle Qin was very proud when talking about this, and he even gestured: "Just by walking along, I can tell where the snakes have walked on the ground, and I can catch them accurately."

"I only caught these yesterday. I went to the mountains again today, so I think I'll get some more prey tomorrow. I figured these things wouldn't be kept in the hot weather, so I sent them to you as soon as I got back."

"Anything else?"

Hearing this, Jia Dongsheng was happy. He was not afraid of having too many prey, but too few prey. The more prey they sent, the higher his status in the factory would be. He would probably be able to get the position of deputy director by the end of the year. Then, he would be able to spend the ten years of turmoil in the factory peacefully and easily.

"Uncle, give me as much as you have, I'll take it all."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people from Qinjiagou who had come with them to deliver the goods were all extremely excited and had already started calculating how much food they could exchange for these carts of prey.

"Dad, now that you're here, let's go inside and sit for a while to see Jingru?" Jia Dongsheng looked at his father-in-law.

"I won't look at her anymore. How can I not be worried about Jingru following you?"

Unexpectedly, the father-in-law was so focused on exchanging food that he was not moved at all: "Dongsheng, how about we go and exchange food now?"

"Okay."

Since he didn't want to watch, Jia Dongsheng didn't force him and nodded: "Wait a moment, I'll go to the yard and push the car out."

As he spoke, Jia Dongsheng walked inside, but was stopped by Uncle Qin: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, Dongsheng."

"What's the matter, uncle?"

"We can't let you help us for nothing."

Uncle Qin smiled and said, "Leave some of this in the car and take it back for your mother, Huairu, Jingru and the others to eat."

As they were talking, Uncle Qin, Uncle Qin II, and the father-in-law had already dragged a wolf and several pheasants and rabbits from the car.

"No, no, no, Uncle, Uncle Two, Dad, I have everything at home, I don't need these, you keep them and exchange them for food at the factory later."

Jia Dongsheng quickly refused. These things did not belong to the three brothers, but to the entire Qinjiagou. What would happen if Jia Dongsheng accepted them?

"What do you mean by 'other'? Just because I'm your uncle doesn't mean my words don't count?"

Uncle Qin didn't say anything else. He put on the airs of an elder and said, "If it weren't for you, these things would just be sold at the market for money."

"Money is a good thing, but in this day and age, it can't buy food. If you can help us exchange food, and we in Qinjiagou don't thank you, wouldn't that be a heartless act?"

Uncle Qin's words were sincere and heartfelt. It was obvious that the people of Qinjiagou were indeed very grateful for Jia Dongsheng's help.

Uncle Qin Er also said, "That's right, your uncle is right. These things are a collective thank you from all of us at Qinjiagou Commune. You must accept them."

"this......"

Jia Dongsheng turned his gaze to his father-in-law hesitantly to see what he meant.

"Please accept these. These are indeed what everyone decided to give you as a token of our gratitude."

Father Qin saw Jia Dongsheng's gaze and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll take it."

At first, he accepted it in agreement, but then Jia Dongsheng said, "But Dad, Uncle, Second Uncle, you can't give us too much. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we're about to enter the dog days of summer. I don't have anywhere to store it. If you give us too much, it will all go bad."

"Then we don't care."

Uncle Qin Er spoke: "However much we give is our gift, how you deal with it is your business!"

"Your second uncle is right."

In response to Uncle Qin Er's words, Uncle Qin Da nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Dongsheng, you must have some personal connections in the city. I'll give you some more this time, and you can give it to others as a favor."

"Take your yard for example. You have so many neighbors. If you treat each of them to a piece of meat, how can they not miss you?"

"If you live next door to me, and something happens at home while you're at work, it's the neighbors who will help you, right?"

While saying this, Uncle Qin was still smiling and nodded and greeted the people in the yard, including Aunt Three, who were secretly watching.

Jia Dongsheng also saw this scene. What could he say?

Uncle Qin was completely thinking about him. In that case, he could only accept it. Jia Dongsheng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll accept it."

"That's right! Come on, I'll leave this wolf, the five rabbits, and the five pheasants for you. Most importantly, I'm going to keep the tiger's skin for you, too. It's just that we came in a hurry, and the old hunter had to go up the mountain, so he didn't have time to skin it."

"When we exchange food later, we will discuss with your manufacturer and leave the tiger skin for you."

"Thank you, uncle."

As for tiger skins, although Jia Dongsheng now has two, he never thinks having too many is too much. The more the better.

In later generations, where could one get tiger skins? Killing a tiger would take at least ten years, which was even enough to buy peanuts.
