1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 959 I won't tell anyone

They had barely left when the people from the grain station came looking for them.

The Party Secretary clapped his hands when he saw the people: "Oh dear, if only you had come a little earlier, they had just left not long ago."

Thinking of something, he quickly added, "However, they didn't go straight back to the city; they went to Guangming Village to see Xia Qiu."

The man leading the grain depot asked, "Who is Xia Qiu? Can we find out by mentioning that name?"

Fearing that they might take too long and end up going the wrong way, the Party Secretary quickly spoke up: "That's Changsheng's eldest daughter, oh, that's Shanliang. He's now called Xiao Changsheng. Just ask Qiu Shaofeng's family when you get there; that's his son-in-law."

To avoid wasting time if someone doesn't recognize Xia Qiu, since she hasn't been married into the family for very long.

While they were talking, Fu Yancheng had already driven into the North Suburb Farm.

Fu Yanwan knew they were coming today and had been waiting for Xia Qiu: "Sister Xia Qiu, your due date is in the next few days, why isn't your husband home today?"

Xia Qiu smiled and said, "He went out to run some errands, he'll be back in a bit."

Sure enough, just as she finished speaking, she heard Qiu Shaofeng's voice outside the window: "Wife, I'm back."

Xia Qiu stood up with a smile and walked outside: "So, did you get anything?"

Qiu Shaofeng carried the basket directly into the house: "I must say, the bait Chu Xue gave us is really good. Whether it's game from the mountains or fish from the reservoir, we've caught something. When she comes today, I'll have to thank her properly."

Xia Qiu was thrilled to find three pheasants and a rabbit in the basket: "Were these all found in the trap?"

Qiu Shaofeng nodded: "Yes, all three traps yielded results, which is something that has never happened before." Fu Yanwan also stepped forward: "Brother-in-law, you are really amazing."

Qiu Shaofeng looked up and laughed, "It's not that I'm amazing, it's your fourth sister-in-law. She left me a packet of homemade bait last time she came. But it's best if the three of us know about this. Don't tell anyone, or we'll cause her trouble."

Fu Yanwan stroked the rabbit with her hand: "I know, I know, I won't tell anyone."

Xia Qiu, seeing that it was still early, said, "It's rare to get so many at once. Why don't you go to the educated youth settlement and ask them if they want to exchange them?"

Qiu Shaofeng's eyes lit up when he heard this; "Okay, I'll keep one for you to help you recover, and I'll take the others and ask around."

The reason Chu Xue left Qiu Shaofeng with specially prepared bait was so that he could catch prey to improve his life and nourish his sister's body, since she couldn't always take care of her.

She hadn't given anything before because she didn't want her things to benefit others. After all, her sister and her family hadn't separated, so even if they got something, her sister wouldn't get any real benefit. But now it's different. Father Qiu said that what each family gets belongs to their respective branch.

Qiu Shaofeng left a chicken at home, picked up his basket and walked out: "Xiao Wan, stay for dinner tonight, I'll come back and stew the chicken for you."

When the first snow came, they brought a clay stove. Ever since Qiu's father said that apart from work points, all other income earned by each household would belong to that household, this clay stove has come in handy. It was also cold, so stewing a chicken or something in the house could warm the room.

At first, I would send a bowl to my younger brother and sister-in-law, but one time I heard them complain that there wasn't much meat in it, so I stopped sending it after that.

Later, several times when Qiu's mother tried to say something, Qiu Shaofeng pointed it out directly in front of everyone in the family, which almost made An Xiaojing feel ashamed and indignant. After that, no one said anything more.
