Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

Chen Yongqiang then drove the tractor into the compound of the government office and parked it on the playground.

Shen Xiaotong, who was walking the dog, followed her in: "Wait for me a moment, I'll go call my brother."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards a small red brick building.

As Qin Liping sat on the tractor, her gaze involuntarily followed Shen Xiaotong's retreating figure, landing on the rows of neat red brick buildings.

The courtyard has a clean and flat cement path, a small vegetable garden enclosed by a bamboo fence downstairs, and clothes hanging to dry on the balcony...

There was a sense of security that she could never attain. Qin Liping sighed, "Brother Yongqiang, when do you think... we'll be able to live in a house like this?"

Chen Yongqiang also looked at the buildings: "There's nothing to envy. I'm going to build a courtyard house soon, with its own entrance and living quarters. It will be much more spacious and comfortable than these buildings."

"That's the house you and Sister Xiulian live in, I can't live there..." Qin Liping lowered her head.

Chen Yongqiang half-jokingly added, "If you want to stay, we'll save you a room, won't that solve the problem?"

Qin Liping's face flushed slightly, but her heart felt like it had been struck by something: "Then...how could I possibly accept that!"

As the two were talking, Shen Xiaotong led her brother out of the building.

Shen Hongjun raised his hand from afar: "Brother Chen! Long time no see, what good stuff have you brought today?"

Chen Yongqiang stepped forward and said, "We brought over some wild boar meat. They're all small wild boars, each weighing several dozen kilograms. The meat is very tender."

Shen Hongjun walked to the tractor and looked at the meat in the truck bed: "Hmm, this meat does look fresh. Xiaotong said you're going to sell it all to us?"

Chen Yongqiang then chimed in, "But from what Xiaotong said earlier, she's planning to buy it to feed her dogs. Brother Shen, this is top-quality wild game, and the meat is quite rare."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hongjun immediately turned around and glared at his sister: "Nonsense! Feeding such good stuff to the dog? Xiaotong, you're wasting it!"

Shen Xiaotong muttered under her breath, "Black Tiger isn't an ordinary dog..."

"That won't do either!" Shen Hongjun said firmly.

He then smiled at Chen Yongqiang and said, "Brother Chen, don't listen to her nonsense. We'll take all this meat, whatever the market price is. My father loves game, it'll be a good opportunity to improve his diet."

After saying that, he looked at the pieces of meat again: "Approximately how many pounds are left?"

Chen Yongqiang calculated: "There are probably a little over fifty pounds left. We'll weigh them in a bit."

"Okay, I'll take them all." Shen Hongjun readily agreed. "Help me carry them and bring them to the kitchen. I'll give you the money now."

Chen Yongqiang weighed the wild boar meat and casually mentioned, "If Miss Xiaotong really wants to feed it to her dog, I do have a female wild boar I hunted. The meat is tough, not good for humans, but perfect for dogs. I'll give you a discount, what do you think?"

"Of course I want it!" Shen Xiaotong answered before her brother could speak.

"I originally planned to keep it for my own dog to eat slowly. If you really want it, I can bring it over next time?" Chen Yongqiang said, sounding somewhat reluctant.

Shen Hongjun chimed in, "Sure, but don't bring it here. Just take it directly to the county's armed forces department. They keep a few military dogs there; it'll be a good opportunity to improve their diet."

Shen Xiaotong immediately objected: "Brother, if we take them all to the Armed Forces Department, what will Black Tiger eat?"

"How could Black Tiger possibly finish eating an old wild boar? We'll cut off a big piece for you and save it for you, okay?" Shen Hongjun made the decision immediately.

"Then I'll send it to you tomorrow," Chen Yongqiang readily agreed.

That old wild boar that couldn't fetch a good price was disposed of in this way, saving trouble and doing a favor for the owner.

Chen Yongqiang had already weighed all the meat: "It's 52.5 jin in total, rounded down to 50 jin. You can give me 90 yuan."

"Okay, come in with me and get the money." Shen Hongjun was a straightforward person.

Chen Yongqiang packed all the wild boar meat into the snakeskin bag he had brought and followed Shen Hongjun into the building.

Upon entering the house, one sees an elderly man sitting in a wicker chair, wearing reading glasses, drinking tea and reading a newspaper.

Shen Hongjun greeted him with a smile, "Grandpa, I bought some wild boar meat. I'll have the kitchen cook it tonight, and we can have a couple of drinks together."

The old man looked up from his newspaper, adjusted his reading glasses, and glanced at Chen Yongqiang and the bag on his shoulder: "Good, good. And this gentleman is...?"

"Oh, this is Chen Yongqiang," Shen Hongjun quickly introduced.

"This wild boar meat was hunted by him; it's genuine mountain product."

Chen Yongqiang put down the bag and bowed slightly to the old man: "Hello, Grandpa Shen."

Grandpa Shen nodded: "These days, it's not easy to get such good game."

Chen Yongqiang thanked him and helped carry the wild boar meat into the kitchen.

Shen Xiaotong, who had followed them in, went to her grandfather's side, took his arm, and said with a hint of coquetry, "Grandpa, I was the one who saw the wild boar meat first!"

She naturally didn't dare mention the original plan to use it to feed the dog.

Chen Yongqiang accepted the money and exchanged a few more polite words.

Shen Hongjun escorted him all the way to the door, saying, "Brother Chen, if you ever get anything good in the future, remember to think of me first."

"Definitely, definitely." Chen Yongqiang was naturally willing to maintain a good relationship with the Shen family.

He seized the opportunity to ask, "Brother Hongjun, do you know anyone at the cement factory? I'm planning to build a house in the countryside, and I'm currently short of cement."

Shen Hongjun subconsciously glanced at Qin Liping, who was following behind Chen Yongqiang.

When he went to town to buy fish before, he wasn't accompanied by this girl.

Shen Hongjun jokingly replied, "Building a house and getting married are major life events! Wait for me a moment." With that, he turned and went back into the house.

Although Chen Yongqiang had managed to find a few bags of cement at the secondhand market, the quantity was far too small to be of any use.

To build a decent house, you'd need at least seventy or eighty bundles of cloth to barely make ends meet.

That's why he shamelessly brought it up with Shen Hongjun, just to see what would happen.

Before long, Shen Hongjun came out, holding a folded piece of paper, and handed it over:

"Take this to the county cement factory and find Section Chief Liu in the supply and marketing department. Just say that I introduced you, and that you need as much as you need, and I'll approve it for you at an extra-plan price."

"Thank you so much!" Chen Yongqiang took the note; this favor was quite substantial.

Chen Yongqiang carefully put away the note, thanked her again solemnly, and then left the government compound with Qin Liping.

On the way out of the government compound, Qin Liping finally couldn't contain her curiosity: "Brother Yongqiang, what's the background of the family that bought our wild boar meat? They seem unusual."

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," Chen Yongqiang replied.

He didn't actually know the exact level of the old man from the Shen family, only that he must have a very important background.

Today, Chen Yongqiang made over 600 yuan selling wild game, which is quite a fortune.

What's even more remarkable is that they also found a way to buy cement.

"Let's find a place to eat first, then we need to go to the winery this afternoon."

The cement issue isn't urgent; the winery already had arrangements made with their clients.
