Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 8 She Killed the Wild Boar

On a morning in early winter, the other members of the Wei family had breakfast and went to work or school.

Wei Jingli gently pushed open the door of the room, took a look inside, and then walked in carefully. She was ordered by her eldest brother to wake up her sister and bring her sister's breakfast into the room, which was two sweet potatoes as big as fists.

Cold wind rushed into the room, and the temperature dropped several degrees.

The person who had almost buried his head in the quilt moved, but showed no intention of waking up.

"Sister, sister, get up and have breakfast." After calling out several times without getting any response, Wei Jingli bravely walked to the bedside and reached out to push Tao Qiuyi's shoulder.

"Well, don't disturb me." Tao Qiuyi muttered in his sleep, turned over, hugged the quilt tightly and continued to sleep.

"Sister, get up and have breakfast." Wei Jingli reached out to pull Tao Qiuyi's quilt. It was the first time she found it so difficult to wake someone up.

When she realized someone was snatching her quilt in her sleep, Tao Qiuyi was furious and pulled the quilt back with force. The difference in strength was obvious. Wei Jingli's thin body was pulled over with the force and fell on Tao Qiuyi, waking her up.

Opening his confused eyes, he saw the little girl lying on him, staring at him blankly with a look of disbelief on her face. Tao Qiuyi asked doubtfully, "Lizi, what are you doing?"

What could she do? She did nothing. Wei Jingli was about to cry. She scrambled to her feet, but when she stood still, she saw that the bowl she had been holding steadily was empty. The two sweet potatoes in the bowl had disappeared. The little girl was stunned.

The little girl didn't answer, and Tao Qiuyi didn't force her. She was really too tired and just wanted to sleep.

"Li Zi, go play somewhere else if you have nothing to do. Don't disturb my sleep." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi turned over, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and continued to sleep.

Still sleeping? Wei Jingli's eyes widened when she saw two sweet potatoes landed next to Tao Qiuyi's pillow. She struggled for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to slowly move over. Just as she reached out her hand...

"Can you let me sleep?" Tao Qiuyi turned over and sat up, pulling her messy long hair with both hands, frowning at Wei Jingli. No one would be in a good mood if they were woken up again about two hours after falling asleep.

The little girl turned pale with fright, quickly withdrew her hand, and looked at her hesitantly.

Seeing that the little girl was so scared that she couldn't speak clearly, Tao Qiuyi sighed, reached out and pulled the little girl over, letting her sit on the edge of the bed.

"Just tell me what you want to do." Tao Qiuyi's voice was soft and tender. If you didn't look at her expression, just listening to her soft voice would make people mistakenly think that she was a gentle and amiable girl.

"Red...sweet potato." Seeing that she had no intention of getting angry, Wei Jingli became bolder.

What sweet potatoes? Tao Qiuyi frowned again, not knowing what to do. This time, Wei Jingli didn't wait for her to speak. She quickly crawled to the pillow, picked up two sweet potatoes and put them in the bowl.

"My elder brother gave me breakfast to bring to you." Afraid that Tao Qiuyi might misunderstand something, the little girl hurried to explain. "We only have sweet potatoes."

The fact that there were only sweet potatoes meant that they had no other food, such as rice, white flour, or even cornmeal. Tao Qiuyi looked at the two sweet potatoes in the bowl with an indescribable look on his face, secretly glad that he had gone out last night, otherwise he would have to eat sweet potatoes with the three brothers and sisters all day.

She definitely can't stand it.

"Lizi, go call your brother in." Tao Qiuyi took the bowl from the little girl and set it on the stone. She didn't eat the sweet potatoes in the bowl. She had roasted a rabbit on the way home this morning. It wasn't very tasty, but at least she managed to eat half a bag. Wei Jingli obediently left. A moment later, Wei Jingyuan and Wei Jingli walked in, followed by Wei Jinghuai.

"Xiao Huai, please close the door." Tao Qiuyi directly asked Wei Jinghuai, who was walking at the end, to close the door.

She really didn't consider herself an outsider. Wei Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, but still closed the door.

Seeing the door closed, Tao Qiuyi didn't waste any words. He bent down and pulled out a sack from under the bed. The sack was bulging, and no one knew what was inside.

"Li Zi, watch them sort out the things inside. I want meat for lunch and I definitely won't eat sweet potatoes. Remember, when I wake up, we'll discuss what to do with the other things. Now I want to sleep, so you guys be gentle." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi didn't wait for the three to react, he pulled the quilt over him and fell asleep.

When Wei Jingyuan heard Xiaoli say that Tao Qiuyi called him in, he thought she was going to talk about leaving, but she pulled out a sack from under the bed and told him to fall asleep. He was speechless.

Wei Jingli didn't dare to move and looked at Wei Jingyuan.

After thinking about it, Wei Jingyuan called his brother over to open the sack, take out the things inside and put them on the ground.

A large cloth bag wrapped in coarse cloth, a piece of pork belly wrapped in newspaper, a bag of fine white flour, a bag of cornmeal, each bag weighing about ten pounds, a bag of fruit candy, a bag of peach cakes, a bamboo basket covered with straw, and you can vaguely see eggs inside, and there are quite a few of them.

Every time Wei Jinghuai took out something, his hands would tremble. He placed the last basket of eggs even more carefully, fearing that one would be broken. Wei Jingli covered her mouth in shock, her big eyes full of disbelief.

Where did she get these things from? Wei Jingyuan frowned and looked at the woman sleeping on the bed.

This woman must have gone out last night. The sound he vaguely heard was not accidental.

In today's society, you need a letter of introduction to go out, and buying things requires not only money but also tickets. How could a 17-year-old girl who grew up in the countryside have the ability to get these things?
It was impossible for him, a retired veteran who had served for nearly ten years, to get all these in one night.

Who is she?
"Brother, what should we do? I have never seen so much food in my life." Wei Jingli did not feel happy about getting the food and having enough to eat, but was panicked instead.

Wei Jinghuai's face was solemn. He had never seen so much food before. What he was more worried about was that he would not be able to keep so much food.

Grandma, uncle, and third uncle have been keeping an eye on the three of them. If they knew about the existence of these things, given their greed, they would definitely come to snatch them.

"Xiao Huai, put the things back." Wei Jingyuan made a decision quickly. No matter where Tao Qiuyi got these things from, they were hers anyway, and he would not covet them.

"But my sister said before she went to bed that she wanted to eat meat at noon." Wei Jingli reminded in a low voice.

"Li Zi is right, I want to eat meat at noon." Tao Qiuyi's voice rang out, and the three brothers and sisters looked at her at the same time. They saw that she had woken up at some point and was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at them.

"Where did you get these things?" Wei Jingyuan asked directly. He was not one to beat around the bush, and now that she had woken up, it was just the right time for him to ask her.

"I killed a wild boar in the mountains last night and traded it for this on the black market." Tao Qiuyi spoke the truth and had no intention of hiding anything. His tone was calm and as natural as if he was saying that the weather was really nice today.

She...killed a wild boar?
