Everyone knew that the Qin family's life was getting better and better, and it was not uncommon for them to spend money to buy cloth coupons to make new clothes for their children.
I just envy the Qin family's life, how come they can live such a prosperous life?
As expected, Qin Jianjun was the scourge that dragged down the Qin family. After his death, the Qin family’s life immediately got better.
Tomorrow is the day when the villagers go up the mountain to hunt, and Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianguo have both signed up.
Although the family has enough food now, in his opinion it is all thanks to the old immortal and the fourth and fifth sons.
They should not develop a lazy lifestyle of eating and waiting for the rice to cook.
It's almost the end of the year, and they want to improve the food at home through their own efforts.
Early in the morning, Old Lady Qin made white flour buns for Jiandan and Jianguo, as well as a lot of French fries and other foods to fill their stomachs.
Last year, because her family's conditions were the worst in the eyes of the villagers, she did not dare to buy expensive things for her two sons to avoid arousing suspicion from those who had ulterior motives.
This year is different. Lao Qin’s two-story house has been built, and eating steamed buns is a normal thing.
The two brothers set out with a group of villagers carrying dry food and hunting rifles. Qin Han, like before, injected a lot of spiritual power into the hunting rifles, so that the eldest uncle and the second uncle would be able to hit the target every time.
While the eldest and second sons went up the mountain to hunt, Old Lady Qin and several daughters-in-law were still busy making new clothes.
Now that the children's new clothes are ready, all that's left is for the adults.
"I don't know if the fourth and fifth children will come back to celebrate the New Year this year!" Old Mrs. Qin muttered to herself as she looked out the window.
Zhang Xiumei, who was knitting a sweater nearby, asked, "Didn't they mention this in the letter when they sent the allowance back last time?"
"No, I just said that they are doing well in the army. I think there is a high probability that they will not come back." Old Mrs. Qin couldn't help but sigh.
When the others heard this, they also fell silent.
They knew that the mother-in-law really wanted her brother-in-law and sister-in-law to come back for the New Year, but after all, they were in the army and couldn't come back whenever they wanted.
Seven or eight days before the Chinese New Year, Captain Liu finally brought back the villagers who had gone into the mountains to hunt.
This time, they harvested even more than last year. There were two wild boars alone, weighing more than 800 kilograms. There were also four wild goats, not to mention pheasants and rabbits. Almost every family had five or six.
The two brothers Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianguo hunted the most. They hunted a total of 20 wild rabbits and 30 pheasants, which were packed into two large snakeskin bags, and each of them carried one bag back.
This time the two brothers stole the limelight again. When they were hunting, almost every shot hit the target. Half of the wild boars and sheep were killed by them, and the rest were also killed by their follow-up shots. This made this hunting trip a fruitful one.
The women waited day and night for their men to finally come home.
When they saw how much they had harvested, they were all very excited. They could finally have a good year.
When they heard that most of the wild boars and wild goats were killed by Qin Jiandang and his brother, they expressed their gratitude to them.
As the two walked in the village, they were greeted with grateful looks, which made them walk with ease.
However, they also knew that the reason why the two of them were so good at shooting was definitely because of the old master in the family, just like he did last year.
No wonder their shooting skills were so accurate back then.
They hadn't thought about that at the time, but now they finally understood what was going on.
However, when others asked them how their shooting skills suddenly became so good, they would use Lao Wu as a shield and say that it was Lao Wu who taught them when he came back last time.
Everyone thought that the fifth son of the Qin family was a sharpshooter in the army, so it would not be difficult to train a brother to be a sharpshooter, so no one doubted their words.
"Dad, Mom, we're back." Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianguo came back, each carrying a bag of prey.
Before the two entered the yard, loud voices were already heard.
When the children heard the sound, they ran excitedly to open the door.
"Uncle, Dad, you're back!" The one who opened the door was Qin Shuang. She had two ponytails and she excitedly called out to the people who came.
The others also walked towards the yard. When they saw Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianguo coming back with so many preys, they were very happy.
Especially the way the children looked at the two of them was full of admiration!
When Old Lady Qin saw so many pheasants and rabbits, she immediately asked her eldest daughter-in-law to boil water, and the others were responsible for processing the pheasants and rabbits.
She planned to ask the old man to go to town to sell half of it tomorrow, and the rest would be pickled with salt except for eating during the New Year, so that they could be stored for a longer time.
During this period, the two brothers, Jianguo and Jiandang, did not get enough rest. They had dark circles under their eyelids, had not shaved, taken a shower, or changed clothes for more than ten days, and their hair was full of ice chips. They looked like refugees no matter how you looked at them.
The two of them quickly took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and fell asleep on the bed without even having time to shave.
Because there were so many pheasants and rabbits, Grandma Qin and her daughters-in-law spent the entire afternoon dealing with them, and it was not until around seven o'clock in the evening that they finally finished dealing with them all.
At this moment, Jianguo and his men were still sleeping, which showed how tired they were.
In the evening, Old Lady Qin used the pheasant's innards to make chicken offal and put a lot of dried chilies and garlic seeds in it. It was so delicious.
Since Qin Han started eating meat, he rarely drinks milk. He eats rice and vegetables like adults every day. Now he can eat spicy food like adults.
He also found that dishes with chili peppers tasted better than those without chili peppers.
This has also led to his current love for spicy food. Sometimes, if he eats too much chili, his buttocks will suffer when he goes to the bathroom.
