Since she has her own bicycle, it is much more convenient for Qi Shufang to get in and out of the mountains or to the city.

Just like the neighbors said, the big golden deer is a heavy-duty bicycle, three big and one crane, with a strong load-bearing capacity and can transport a lot of things. She searched and searched, and it took ten days to find the three wild boars and solve them in three parts. In order to prevent Mao Hongjun and Zhao Honghua in the county town from knowing the news, she specially wore He Jianguo's old clothes, dressed as a thin man, and quietly transported the processed wild boars to the non-staple food purchase station in the urban area, the non-staple food purchase station in the next county, and the non-staple food purchase station in Hongqi Commune.

According to the market price, the three wild boars were sold for a total of 642 yuan and 8 cents, the good meat was 7 cents and 61 catties, and the rest were much cheaper.

There is a certain risk in private transactions, and Qi Shufang always believes that it is fortunate that it was not discovered for the first time, mainly because others did not know about the transaction in advance, and if they did not report it, it did not bring danger. However, the Mao family suddenly has so much meat, others don't need to think about it to know that it was bought privately, and if they make a second transaction with the Mao family, they are likely to be reported.

If she is caught the second time, the evidence is conclusive, and it is very likely that she will be □□ and sentenced, and her life will not be guaranteed.

Qi Shufang is not timid, but cautious, she would rather take precautions before they happen, and wait until something happens to regret it.

With more than 1,000 yuan in savings, Qi Shufang was satisfied and stopped hunting.

At this time, it was already the second half of the first month, the weather was getting warmer, and the wind was blowing, Qi Shufang, who came from hundreds of years later, knew that everything could not be excessive, let alone dry up and fish, and the beasts in the mountains must be given the opportunity to recuperate and reproduce. In the future, she can occasionally shoot some small birds and beasts or catch fish and make tooth sacrifices, and she also likes to eat fish.

As soon as the hunting stopped, Qi Shufang lost the way to make money.

Don't look at her to shoot a few wild boars and sell a lot of money, in fact, the money is very difficult to make, the first time to sell to the Mao family also took a lot of risk, if it is not for her ability to hunt, if it is not for the shortage of materials, the country is very much in need of purchasing non-staple food from the countryside and sending it to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, she has no way to hunt and no way to sell game, as for the income has become a delusion.

Now the military workers have wages, but the peasants do not, Qi Shufang is also a farmer, and doing business is speculative, she does not plan to take risks to do business, so naturally there will be no income.

Don't hunt, don't go out, she doesn't plan to go back to her parents' house, the bicycle is very idle at home for a few days, someone informed her that He Jianguo sent a package, she was in good spirits, opened the lock of the bicycle and rode out, galloping, back and forth in less than an hour to get back, while picking up the package and reading the letter and sending the letter, he also sent a large bag of dried game.

The sweater and pants knitted for He Jianguo have not yet been completed, so I won't send it this time, and I will send it when the weaving is finished, anyway, she doesn't have to wait for He Jianguo's letter before replying, as long as He Jianguo's place of work remains the same, she can do it at any time.

According to Wang Chunling and Zhang Cuihua, the three brothers are almost the same in height, short, fat and thin, even if He Jianguo leaves home for a year, the change will not be very big, his salary and food supply do have a rule, forty-five catties of grain a month, but his work intensity is high, and he lacks oil and water, and those grains are estimated to be just enough to eat in his stomach, and it is a good thing not to be thin.

However, Qi Shufang had two more stitches when she started the needle, and the sweater and pants were rather looser than small and difficult to get on.

"Sister-in-law Shufang, when did you buy the wool? This is woolen thread, I went to the department store to ask at the New Year, and I got twenty yuan a catty. The hall is relatively shady, Qi Shufang stands at the door of the house basking in the sun, gossiping with the neighbors on the one hand, knitting sweaters on the other hand, and the new wool thread in navy blue has attracted the attention of many people, and the most envious is He Jiuya.

Qi Shufang shuttled back and forth with two sweater needles in her hand, and said with a smile: "Jianguo sent it, and it took a lot of people to buy it, so I quickly knitted it for him and sent it over, so that I wouldn't be able to wear it if it was a little hotter." Regarding her recent situation, she has already told Sù He Jianguo in the letter, and asked him to cover up for herself.

I didn't tell him all, but I didn't tell a lie, I only said that my strength was getting stronger and better, and my hunting skills were getting better and better, and every time I went into the mountains, I would return with a full load, and I saved some money to buy a bicycle and some goods, so that he could cover himself. She didn't say anything about having more than a thousand dollars in savings. First, this money is her private money, as a woman, she must have independent economic freedom, the second is that it is inconvenient in the letter, and it is more appropriate to wait for the meeting, and the third is that she is also afraid of scaring He Jianguo.

Then she said that she was going to build a brick house, so that he could buy less things and send them in the future, save more money, and said that she could divide hundreds of dollars at the end of the year.

He Jiuya couldn't help but let out a sour breath, "I really want to have a capable brother like the third brother, and I will be content for the rest of my life." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud voice say sharply: "Jiuya, what are you talking about? It's because I don't have the ability to do anything with your father, right? I don't have the ability anymore, and I have pulled you to such a big point, you actually want someone else to be your brother, why don't you die? If you die, you have a good baby, enjoy all the glory and wealth, and you don't have to live a hard life with me!"

A middle-aged woman who was definitely over half a hundred years old rushed out of the thatched hut in front of Qi Shufang's house, which was even more simple than her own house and had no fence yard, ran to Qi Shufang like a gust of wind, stretched out her hand to grab He Jiuya's ear, twisted it fiercely, slapped her face a few times, and scolded: "Let me beat you to death this stinky girl with no conscience! Eat my milk and drink my blood, and come to think my family is poor! My family is poor, and it is not because I raise you group of money-losing goods! If it weren't for your group of money-losing people who open their mouths to eat and drink every day, how could my family be so poor?" Go to my house, the firewood at home is gone, just gossip here, and don't say go to the mountains to pick up some branches!"

He Jiuya is nineteen years old this year, the same age as Qi Shufang, but her face is yellow and thin, her hair is yellow and thin, and she looks like she is fourteen or fifteen years old.

While crying, she reached out to pull her mother's hand to twist her ear, and with a snap, she was beaten down by her mother again, and the pain was even worse, and the teardrops were like pearls with broken threads, falling down in a flutter, and her face was full of marks.

"Aunt Seven, what are you doing here? Everyone is here, why are you beating children. Zhang Cuihua was originally standing in front of Qi Shufang to watch her play a sweater, but when she saw such a scene, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away, "Don't say that Jiuya is still young, say a few words of gossip, that is, in the entire production team, who doesn't want to have a brother like Jianguo?"

Everyone who was gossiping in the sun also opened their mouths to persuade her.

"Don't pull me, I have to teach her a lesson! If she doesn't beat her up, she won't know what to say and what not to say!" Jiu Ya Niang was furious, and dragged her daughter home.

He Jiuya burst into tears, staggered and was pulled away.

Qi Shufang frowned, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with the seventh aunt?"

"Why else, it must be the change of parents. Zhang Cuihua sighed, "Uncle Seven's family is poor, he has eaten the last meal but not the next, he is an upside-down household every year, he is criticized every year, and no one wants to marry him." The seventh aunt wanted to change the family affairs for Shibao, but people thought that Jiuya was too thin to be good at giving birth, so she didn't agree, and changed it with Shen Sandan's family in the southernmost part of our production team. The seventh aunt complained that Jiuya didn't grow up, and then listened to what she said today, which added to her anger. ”

He Jiuya is the cousin of He Jianguo's near room He Qishu, there is no room for five suits, He Jiuya and He Jianguo are the same grandfather, her name is He Jiuya, and there is naturally He Baya on it.

Uncle He Qi and Aunt He Qi, who had just beaten and scolded their daughters, gave birth to nine daughters in a row, starting from the eldest girl, all of them were named after the row, of which the second, fourth and fifth girls died young, the third and seventh girls were given away, and only the eldest girl, the sixth girl and the eighth girl, and the ninth girl, only the ninth girl was not married, one year older than the younger brother Shibao below, and was the only and best candidate for Uncle He Qi's family to change relatives.

Qi Shufang said blankly: "What is a change of parents?" She has read a lot of books, and the word change of parents is a little familiar, but she doesn't have a very exact feeling, maybe because she hasn't experienced it.

"You don't know?" Seeing Qi Shufang nodding, Zhang Cuihua hurriedly explained to her.

Changing relatives, as the name suggests, means that two people who can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law have sons and daughters, give their daughters to each other's sons as wives, and then marry each other's daughters to their sons as wives.

"Now is a new society, new customs are established, why is there such a bad habit as changing relatives?"

Zhang Cuihua said with a smile: "What kind of bad habit, if you can't marry a daughter-in-law, of course you have to exchange your daughter for a daughter, do you want to let your son be a bachelor for the rest of his life like the sixth uncle?"

Qi Shufang was greatly shocked, is this actually the case? As a parent, exchanging his own daughter for his daughter-in-law, what about human nature? Do you treat your daughter as a commodity? If the other party's son is a sound person, he may be barely better, but if it is a fool, a lame, a madman, and a person with defects? Is their daughter still happy? Or, as some people say, the purpose of human existence is to reproduce? For the sake of reproduction, they will do everything they can.

However, apart from the indignation in her heart, she was powerless to change this situation at all, and in the face of many people's natural looks, she didn't even know how to say a word.

On the second day of He Jiuya's beating, Qi Shufang saw He Jiuya carrying Chai He home, but did not escape the fate of changing relatives, on the third day, He Qishu and He Qiaunt exchanged her for a daughter-in-law, and did not hold a wedding. The other party is a cripple from the eight-episode production team, he has a diligent and simple sister, twenty-one years old this year, who was brought to He's house by a matchmaker on the same day, and Uncle He Qi and Aunt He Qi were very satisfied.
