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

Qin Liping rolled up her sleeves and volunteered to help wash the wild boar off the stone slab.

As she worked, she secretly observed Chen Yongqiang's profile as he sharpened his knife.

In this young woman's eyes, Chen Yongqiang was almost the ideal husband she could imagine.

He was not only a skilled hunter, always bringing back game every time he went into the mountains, but he also built ponds. Even her father, a seasoned veteran with extensive experience, was willing to assist him.

These past few days, her father has been coming back from helping out at Chen Yongqiang's house, and he always says a few words at the dinner table: "Yongqiang is really something else."

She watched Chen Yongqiang intently sharpening his knife. Those strong arms had carried back countless prey. Those hands not only held guns, but also held her heart.

"Brother Yongqiang, did you take both of these by yourself?" Qin Liping already knew the answer in her heart.

"We surrounded it together with Zhang Jianguo and his brother." Chen Yongqiang slid the whetstone rhythmically in his hand.

Qin Liping smiled slightly. Her father was right; a man who is both capable and low-key is truly reliable.

Other young men in the village, if they had any skills, would love to shout it out to the whole village, but Chen Yongqiang never boasted, yet he excelled at everything he did.

She helped Lin Xiulian bring over the boiling water, and the two women began to scald the pig hair.

Any girl who marries such a capable man is truly blessed.

Qin Liping was even a little jealous of Lin Xiulian.

"Liping, could you please fetch another bucket of water?" Lin Xiulian interrupted Qin Liping's thoughts when she noticed that Qin Liping was standing a little close to Chen Yongqiang.

"Okay, I'll go right now." Qin Liping snapped out of her daze and quickly went to fetch water.

Chen Yongqiang swiftly and skillfully dismembered the two wild boars. Skinning, deboning, and butchering—the entire process was fluid and efficient.

Lin Xiulian selected the two tenderest pork tenderloins, paired them with green peppers freshly picked from the garden, and quickly stir-fried a plate of meat slices. She also sliced ​​a piece of high-quality leg meat into thin slices and stewed it with wild mushrooms to make a soup.

Before long, two steaming hot dishes were placed on the table.

During the meal, Chen Yongqiang remembered that Ding Wanru had said that pregnant women should not eat too much wild game.

He picked up a piece of green pepper and pork with his chopsticks: "Wild boar meat is too hot in nature, so you shouldn't eat too much right now. I'll go to the market today and trade this meat for some chickens and ducks for you."

The chickens we keep at home are indeed still young, it would be a waste to slaughter them.

The chickens he kept in his space grew incredibly fast, developing twice as fast as the chickens outside. Their feathers were full, and they looked like they were about to lay eggs.

Lin Xiulian nodded obediently: "You can handle it as you see fit."

Qin Liping, who was serving rice, watched this scene and her appreciation for Chen Yongqiang grew even stronger.

How could anyone not fall for such a capable and thoughtful man who always puts his family first?

After finishing his meal, Chen Yongqiang picked out several pounds of lean and fatty hind leg meat, tied it with straw rope, and handed it to Qin Liping.

"Take it back and try it." He said casually, as if he were just handing over a bunch of greens.

Qin Liping looked at the large piece of meat, which weighed at least four or five pounds, and hesitated for a moment, unsure whether she should accept it.

She remembered all the care Chen Yongqiang had given her family these past few days. First, when her father came to help repair the water tank, Chen Yongqiang paid him more than other families.

This fresh wild boar meat could be exchanged for a lot of grain at the market, yet he casually offered it to her.

"This is too expensive..." she hesitated.

"Here you go." Chen Yongqiang pushed the meat forward. "It wasn't easy moving here. I know the land your Qin family got; even watering it was a problem."

"Thank you, Brother Yongqiang." Qin Liping took the meat, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

In this unfamiliar village, Chen Yongqiang's unintentional care made her feel a rare warmth.

This kind and compassionate hunter quietly took up residence in a girl's heart.

Chen Yongqiang rode his bicycle with a bamboo basket hanging on each side of the rear rack, filled with cut-up wild boar meat.

He planned to take advantage of the cool morning air and get to the town market early.

As he passed Liang Meie's house, the scolding voice coming from the yard made him slam on the brakes.

Liang Meie was pointing at a little boy and scolding him. The boy had his head down and was crying with his shoulders shaking.

"Sister-in-law Mei'e, why are you so angry?" Chen Yongqiang said, supporting himself on one foot.

Hearing the voice, Liang Meie turned her head, her anger still simmering: "It's Yongqiang. That kid can't even recognize a few words in his book, and his mind isn't on his studies at all!" As she spoke, she glared at the child again.

At this moment, she noticed the two large bamboo baskets on the back rack of Chen Yongqiang's bicycle, and immediately walked over and casually lifted the cloth covering them.

Seeing the room full of wild boar meat, she raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you caught wild boar again? Why didn't you ask me to help clean it this time?"

Her tone carried a hint of familiar complaint, after all, the two had worked together many times in processing game and selling mountain products.

Chen Yongqiang explained, "The Qin family happened to be there, so they helped me take care of it."

The image of the Qin family's twin daughters' youthful, full faces and slender figures immediately came to Liang Meie's mind.

Unlike Lin Xiulian, who was simple-minded, an inexplicable sense of crisis quietly grew in her heart.

This made her vaguely feel that her stable and mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with Chen Yongqiang seemed to be under potential threat.

Chen Yongqiang unloaded one of the bamboo baskets from the back of his bicycle. Inside were wild boar meat that had been pre-sorted and was intended to be taken by Liang Meie to nearby villages for retail sale.

This has been their long-standing cooperative model: he is responsible for acquiring the goods, and she is responsible for a portion of the resale, each getting what they need.

Liang Meie is a clever woman who knows that Chen Yongqiang is her "god of wealth" and that she must maintain this relationship firmly.

A warm smile immediately spread across her face as she took the bamboo basket: "When you come back from the market, come to my house to rest. I'll cook a couple of my signature dishes and have a couple of drinks with you to help you relax."

Chen Yongqiang estimated the time: "Then we probably won't be back until evening."

Liang Meie chimed in, "Perfect! I'll go to the surrounding villages, sell the meat, and it'll take me about the same amount of time to get back. It's settled then!"

"Okay," Chen Yongqiang replied, pushing his bicycle to leave.

Suddenly remembering something else, he turned back and said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. Don't go to Zhangjiagou this time."

"Why?" Liang Meie asked, puzzled.

"The Zhang brothers were also hunting in those mountains yesterday, and they killed six wild boars in one go. They're probably busy selling them over there right now. If you go now, you won't be able to compete with them."

Upon hearing this, Liang Meie gasped, her eyes widening in astonishment: "Good heavens! How did those two brothers manage to get so much all at once?"

"Anyway, you don't need to go there." Chen Yongqiang didn't explain further and continued on his bicycle.
