The Qin family has no sons, only Qin Qiuyan is a daughter.
She learned boxing, shooting, and hunting skills from her father since she was a child.
In the past, when Qin Sanpao was around, his daughters were usually not allowed to go up the mountain.
Qin Sanpao was gone and the family had no source of income, so Qin Qiuyan had to go hunting in the mountains to make ends meet.
One time, Qin Qiuyan went hunting in the mountains and happened to see an injured fire fox.
Just as he was about to fight, Liu Changde ran over from a distance, saying that he had followed the fox all the way, and asked Qin Qiuyan not to snatch it from him.
How could Qin Qiuyan still coddle Liu Changde with her fiery temper?
Immediately they started to quarrel with Liu Changde, saying that wild things in the mountains belong to whoever sees them.
The two couldn't stop arguing, and the injured fire fox took the opportunity to run away.
Now, Liu Changde was not happy anymore.
He chased the fox for dozens of miles, and when he was about to kill him, Qin Qiuyan disturbed him and the fox he caught ran away.
Liu Changde was so angry that he asked Qin Qiuyan to pay for the fox. Qin Qiuyan mocked Liu Changde for his poor hunting skills and that he couldn't even catch a fox.
The two of them were chatting and started making a bet to see who could catch the fox.
In this way, a man and a woman wandered around the mountains for a long time, chasing the fire fox.
They couldn't find it at night, so the two of them had to camp in the mountains.
As a result, that night, the two of them met a pack of wolves.
Fortunately, Liu Changde was good at shooting and Qin Qiuyan was familiar with the temperament of his prey. The two cooperated seamlessly and finally wiped out all the wolves, and went down the mountain with a full harvest the next day.
From then on, when Liu Changde went hunting in the mountains, he headed towards the Great Alkali Field. Qin Qiuyan always met Liu Changde, whether intentionally or not.
The two went hunting together and stayed in the mountains since they couldn't make it home in the evening.
If a man and a woman are always together like this, can anything happen? It didn't take long for Qin Qiuyan to become pregnant.
Liu Changde was a soldier and was not very good at farming, but he was quite capable at hunting in the mountains.
This large alkali field is located deep in the mountains and old forests. There are many wild animals, which is better than the one in Donggang.
Liu Changde took his mother and moved here, got married to Qin Qiuyan, and lived together.
Over the years they have been married, they have given birth to four children.
The eldest is now the production captain, the second is the militia platoon leader, they have long been married and have children, the third is a soldier, and the fourth is studying in Donggang.
Although Liu Changde failed to become a big cadre, his ability was there, and he had served as brigade secretary for many years.
When the situation was not right in the past few years, he took the initiative to retreat and go up the mountain to see ginseng, thus avoiding some disputes.
Now that he is a little more stable, the old man comes down the mountain again to help take care of his grandson. Anyway, life is going well.
The old couple are both capable people. Now that they are older, they are not idle. They get up early and practice boxing and kicking as a form of physical exercise.
As for Qin Qiuyan beating up Liu Changde, it was purely because Liu Changde gave in.
After all, there are some differences in physical strength between men and women, especially at this age. How can Qin Qiuyan beat Liu Changde?
Of course Sheng Xiping knew that, he was just joking when he said that.
Qin Qiuyan over there also laughed when he heard this, "Okay, if Xiping intercedes for you, I will punch you twice less tomorrow morning."
After saying that, everyone laughed.
While they were chatting and joking, Liu Yujiang, the eldest son of the Liu family, and Liu Yuhe, the second son, probably heard the noise in the front yard and came over from the back yard.
"Oh, Xiping is here, but I haven't seen you for a while."
Liu Yujiang is twenty-six and Liu Yuhe is twenty-four, which is not much different from Sheng Xiping.
In previous years, we would go hunting together in the mountains, and our relationship was quite good.
In his previous life, Sheng Xiping came out without a job. From the beginning, the Liu brothers took him hunting, looking at ginseng, growing sticks and so on.
Things got better gradually, and I had some money, so I took over the forest farm outsourcing project.
"Eldest brother, second brother, I thought you all went to the team."
Seeing the Liu brothers, Sheng Xiping stood up from the edge of the kang and nodded to say hello to the two of them.
"Why are you going? It rained a lot last night and the ground was soaked, so we couldn't go in and work.
I’ve been very busy these days, so I finally had a day off.”
Liu Yujiang waved his hand, pressed Sheng Xiping's shoulders and asked him to sit down.
"Brother, how are you doing these days? I heard that some new educated youths have arrived at your forest farm.
Those who sneak around and fight with each other are not doing good things?"
There is a saying that good things never go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Among the young people from Songjianghe, some were bastards.
Conditions in forest farms are difficult, and those for educated youth are even more difficult.
These people were so hungry after not seeing meat for a long time that they went to catch the ducks, chickens, etc. raised in the big alkali farm, and then packed them up and ate them when they got home.
Maybe once or twice, maybe people will just forget about it.
As time goes by, it is inevitable that you will miss something.
A few days ago, someone went to catch ducks, but a farmer from the Great Alkali Farm saw him and chased him away, even losing his shoes.
Later, he took the shoes and found the person in charge of the forest farm.
Because of this, Sheng Xiping almost got into trouble.
So when this matter was brought up, Sheng Xiping couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Yes, those are all the children of cadres. They came to the forest farm just to hang out, and they didn't even think about working hard.
Uncle Hu, the veteran of our family team, gets a headache whenever he mentions those people.
But there’s nothing we can do, we’ve already been assigned here and we can’t go back.”
Sheng Xiping would forget about it if he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, something seemed to flash in his mind.
"Ahem, that's right. You have such virtues, so just take care of yourself."
When it comes to these things, Liu Yujiang also has a lot of lawsuits on his head.
"Boss, it's rare for Xiping to come over here, so don't mention those annoying things.
Go and tell your wife to cook something delicious for lunch today and leave Xiping at home for a meal.
It just so happens that there’s nothing else to do today, so we’ll gather at the table and have a couple of drinks.”
Liu Changde waved his hand impatiently and told his eldest son to prepare lunch.
"Hey, I got it, dad." Liu Yujiang agreed happily, got up and went to the backyard to greet his wife.
"Xiping, please sit here for now. I'll call your sister-in-law."
The Liu family has two courtyards. The backyard was newly built for Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe's wedding. The front yard is where Liu Changde, his wife, and the third and fourth children live.
"Hey, Master, I won't be polite. I'll have a drink with you at noon today.
Brother, just bring me whatever you have at home, don’t make it too much trouble.”
Sheng Xiping used to wish that he could live and eat at Liu's house, just like his own family here.
When he came today, he knew that he would stay at noon, so he didn't say anything pretentious about just sitting down and leaving.
"Don't worry, we don't need anything at home. When my second brother and I went to work in the mountains yesterday, we even caught two rabbits.
It was originally said that it would be stewed this noon, but you just happened to be here, how about we stew rabbit meat with pine mushrooms?"
Liu Yujiang waved his hands and said nonchalantly.
With their brothers' ability, there will never be a shortage of food at home.
Even if you don’t have any at home, you can immediately go into the mountains to hunt for them. Within two hours, everything will be alive.
