One bowl for each person, He Jiayi and He Jiahuan finished eating quickly, and they couldn't bear to leave a drop of soup. They were still unsatisfied and looked at Qin Hao with eager eyes.

"Wash the dishes and go back."

As a result, Qin Hao's words were like a basin of cold water that made the two of them feel cool.

"oh."

The two sisters He Jiayi and He Jiahuan had to wash the bowls obediently and then go home. They dare not offend Qin Hao now. What if the other party regrets and refuses to give them a small meal?

"Are you feeling a little overwhelmed?"

He Jiawen, who was said to be centrally thought, felt a little embarrassed.

Qin Hao said seriously: "Every time setting good rules in advance, don't break them easily, otherwise if they are not satisfied in the future, they will easily become resentful."

He Jiawen didn't say anything anymore. She knew that Qin Hao did this for himself. After all, the supplies were just that small. If the third and fourth brothers ate more, she would eat less.

When He Jiawen returned home in the afternoon, He Jiayi and He Jiahuan secretly followed him to the kitchen.

"Second sister, you can really hide it. I secretly ate a lot of good things on our back, right?" He Jiahuan snorted.

He Jiawen gave the two a blank look: "You guys can eat too today, don't miss it when you look back."

"Then we only eat a lot. Second sister, you are not allowed to carry us on your back." He Jiayi lay on He Jiawen's shoulder and acted coquettishly.

He Jiawen shook his head helplessly: "This is the Chinese New Year coming soon. How can there be so many delicious foods in normal times? What do you think about every day?"

He Jiayi and He Jiahuan thought so.

"Second sister, you will marry Brother Qin Hao in the future?"

He Jiawen's cheeks were hot when his sister said: "Second, what are you talking nonsense?"

He Jiayi said indifferently: "Hey, this is not well-known, what's so shameful? You and Brother Qin Hao grew up together. In ancient times, it was called childhood sweethearts. You are so beautiful and Brother Qin Hao is so handsome. Our parents probably want to recruit him as their son-in-law."

"The more I talk, the more outrageous it becomes. I think you are itchy and want to be beaten." He Jiawen was so angry that he wanted to use a broom to hit someone. He Jiayi and He Jiahuan ran out of the kitchen quickly.

Seeing this, Grandma He shook her head: "I'm so old and still have a fight."

During the Spring Festival, the Qin family and the He family made a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. Zhou Guilan asked Qin Hao to give the He family a bowl of braised pork, while Liu Meixin asked He Jiawen to give the Qin family half a chicken.

It was the New Year's Eve. Since there was no TV and it was cold outside, the two adults gathered together to play poker until twelve o'clock in the morning before they each rested.

On the first day of work on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, Liu Meixin suddenly retwisted.

"Mei Xin, is he getting pregnant again?" Grandma He was very happy.

He Changsheng's mood was very complicated, so he was naturally happy, but he was afraid that the girl would give birth to this child. The four girls in his family had already made him suffer a lot of gossip.

With the lessons learned last time, Liu Meixin is much more cautious this time than before, and she no longer dares to show off her strength to do those heavy work.

Time flies, and it is September 1970 in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that Liu Meixin was getting closer to her due date, just in case, He Changsheng directly sent Liu Meixin to the health care hospital in advance.

As a result, Liu Meixin's delivery was not smooth this time. Because of her good nutrition, her baby's head was too big and she couldn't get out, so she had to turn to a caesarean section.

The caesarean section in the 1970s was in great danger, and He Changsheng's hands were shaking at that time.

As a result, after a successful caesarean section, the baby gave birth to another daughter.

He Changsheng was numb at that time and did not even go to hold his newborn daughter.

For several days, the He family's heart was shrouded in a dark cloud.

"Is it really that important to have a boy?" He Jiawen asked listlessly when he came to make up for the lessons and supported his chin.

Qin Hao handed her a piece of maltose: "According to our current living environment, it is indeed very important."

The 1970s was a complete acquaintance society, and people's range of activities was very limited. Every day, they came into contact with either neighbors or workers. They looked up and saw each other's comments. Even if they didn't say it in front of their face, they could always hear other people's comments behind their backs.

The tongue is crushed to death!

"My dad hasn't named Lao Wu yet, and my mom said angrily that she would ask Lao Wu to take her surname." He Jiawen wanted to persuade his father, but he didn't know how to speak.

"I would have loved my elder sister at this time."

Qin Hao shook his head and said, "No one can do this, unless Uncle He figured it out himself."

"Oh, it would be great if the fourth brother saved it." He Jiawen sighed.

A month and a half later, Liu Meixin recovered a little, and shed tears at the old fifth person who had already named Liu Xiaoling all day long. No matter how much grandma of the He family persuaded her, it was useless.

That day, He Jiawen had just returned home from school and was about to cook, but he heard a familiar voice in the inner room.

"Sister, are you back? When did you come back, don't say anything in advance."

He Jiali gave He Jiawen a hug: "Isn't this what I heard that my mother licked another sister? I'll come back to see the fifth brother. It's not easy to take a family leave for the educated youth there."

"Sister, then you sit down first, I'll go cook."

He Jiawen ran to the next door and said to Qin Hao: "Is there anything else in your house? My elder sister is back."

"There is still half a bowl of oil residue..." Qin Hao said as he went to the kitchen and took down a piece of bacon hanging on the beam of the house.

"Forget the meat, we have used the meat tickets in our family to exchange for wheat milk semen in the past few months..." He Jiawen took half a bowl of oil residue, but he did not dare to take the bacon.

"Okay, take it, don't pay it back, you'll have to take a few less small sausages."

He Jiawen hesitated for a moment and took the bacon back. She heard from the opposite side that Liu's mother said that the educated youth lived a hard life in the countryside and could not eat a few pieces of meat all year round. This time, the elder sister finally came back, at least she had to let the elder sister eat the meat.

As a result, when I got home, I found that my elder sister was missing.

"The third and fourth brothers, where is the eldest sister?"

"I don't know. I just saw a letter from my mother and went out. I looked very anxious."

It was not until the evening that He Jiali and Liu Meixin returned home. Looking at the old fifth child who was still in their infancy, He Jiawen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She also saw the content of the letter and realized that her mother wanted to give the old fifth child to her relatives in the Shanghai family.

"Mom, sister, let's have a meal first, the third and fourth brothers are all hungry."

He Jiawen didn't know how to comfort his mother, so he wiped his tears and went back to the kitchen to bring the steamed pickles and bacon to the table.

Liu Meixin wiped her tears and asked in confusion: "Didn't all the meat tickets at home have been replaced with malted milk sperm? Where did your bacon come from?"

"I gave it to you next door. I heard that my elder sister is back." He Jiawen lowered his head embarrassedly.

He Jiali did not notice He Jiawen's strangeness, but Liu Meixin showed a meaningful expression.

"Then let's treat this meal as a welcome to Jiali, and eat it all."

Liu Meixin picked up a piece of bacon for He Jiali, and He Jiayi and He Jiahuan couldn't wait to move their chopsticks.

"Well, this bacon is so delicious."

"It would be great if I could have bacon every day."

He Jiali was happy: "You two little greedy cats, and you still eat meat every day, it's so beautiful."

"That's right, the ancient landlord Lao Cai didn't eat meat every day, so what kind of dreams were there every day." Liu Meixin gently tapped the third and fourth brothers' heads twice.

He Jiayi and He Jiahuan looked at each other and smiled foolishly, and Grandma He family also breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, Qin Hao had just finished washing up when he heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, he saw that it was He Jiali.

"I finally came back to visit my relatives for a few days, and I won't have a rest?"

He Jiali shook the fishing rod in her hand and smiled and said, "There's no way. I borrowed a piece of bacon from your house yesterday. There are no meat tickets at home. I can only see how lucky I am today."

"Didn't you tell Jiawen, don't you need to pay it back?"

"That's not OK. It's not difficult to borrow some more if you have it."

"Okay, wait for me."

After Qin Hao packed up his fishing gear, he went to the suburbs with He Jiali.

Along the way, Qin Hao asked He Jiali indirectly if she had been in love in the countryside, which made He Jiali look at him fiercely.

"What nonsense, I won't fall in love."

Qin Hao smiled: "Where is Tang Weimin? He didn't stick to you in the countryside?"

"He? He sees me now like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding far away." He Jiali curled her lips.

"It just so happened that when I saw him, I remembered the face of Da Lao Tang slandering my father, and I was blinded by the eyes."

Tang Weimin’s change should have come from changes in the family environment. Before, Da Lao Tang was the director of a leather factory under a foreign trade company. When he was in a glorious moment, Tang Weimin naturally had the confidence to approach He Jiali.

But since Da Lao Tang was beaten to the end, the situation of their family has completely changed. On the contrary, He Changsheng not only became a party member, but also promoted to the team leader.

When a boy faces a girl he likes and has better conditions than him, he will inevitably feel inferior.

While they were talking, the two had already arrived by the river. Qin Hao found a lush area of ​​water and grass and said to He Jiali.

"Let's catch turtles today."

"Okay, listen to you."

Until the sun set across the river, Qin Hao and He Jiali were still unsatisfied and were about to go back home. There were already three turtles, one black fish and two crucian carp in the bucket, which was a great harvest.

Just when Qin Hao and He Jiali passed by a shallow, they found that Tang Weimin was taking Tang Youmin to collect cages by the river.

At the first moment, both sides were stunned for a moment, and then He Jiali and Tang Weimin pretended not to see each other and turned their heads over.
