Chapter 240: The end of the year, every difficulty is overcome
With the feeding of the little ewes, life is getting better day by day.
With He Daqing's daily nourishment of crucian carp and tofu soup, Qin Huairu finally showed signs of improvement, and gradually, she no longer needed goat milk.
However, goat milk is a good thing in this era. Taking this opportunity, He Daqing also let his other two children supplement a lot of nutrition.
By the time of the Chinese New Year, Xiao Yulin, who was only a few months old, had grown into a fair, tender and plump boy.
He Daqing brought Qin Huairu with him, one holding the little girl and the other holding He Yuhao, who was also holding a young sheep. The family of four, plus Qin Jingru, found a donkey cart that was heading back to Qinjia Bay, and drove slowly towards Qinjia Bay.
It’s the New Year again. Every year, every hurdle is difficult but must be overcome.
The situation in Qinjia Bay has improved significantly this year.
At least when He Daqing saw them again, they all looked energetic and didn't look like they were hungry at all.
The first thing He Daqing did when he returned to the village was to return the little ewe to the team.
At the beginning, Qin Huairu had no milk. If Qin Jianming hadn't taken out this little ewe, who knows what would have happened. Now that the problem has been solved, He Daqing naturally wants to return the sheep.
A sheep means nothing to He Daqing, but to the villagers, it means a lot.
"Oh my, Manager He, I've explained this sheep to them clearly. After they found out, they no longer want it. What do you mean by sending it back?"
Qin Jianming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw He Daqing sending the ewe back.
When they first learned that the ewe had been taken away, the people in Lijiazhuang were extremely worried. But when they heard that it was He Daqing, they were not worried at all. Instead, they happily took an extra lamb.
I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect He Daqing to send it back.
This made Qin Jianming respect He Daqing even more.
If someone else had encountered such a thing, they would have probably kept it at home and taken it for themselves.
As expected of the manager of Fengze Garden, his layout is different.
"It belongs to the team. I am sorry to borrow it for a while."
He Daqing shook his head and sent the sheep back to the sheepfold.
Now, the 61st year has just begun, and the villagers still have to endure another year. This sheep may come in handy at a critical moment.
"Manager He, look, this is the wheat we planted this year. When summer comes, we'll have wheat to eat!"
Qin Jianming chatted with He Daqing for a while, and then took He Daqing to the wheat field outside the village.
After He Daqing left, they followed the season and planted wheat in the places where they had originally planted beans. Although it is winter now, there is a lot of green wheat in the fields. As a farmer, there is no greater sense of accomplishment than watching the crops in the fields thrive.
"Not bad."
Seeing this scene, He Daqing also felt relieved.
We cannot always rely on outsiders for food. Only when we have our own food can Qinjia Bay truly become self-reliant.
"Mr. He, you're back!"
"Happy New Year, Mr. He!"
While He Daqing and Qin Jianming were chatting, they also met many villagers from Qinjiawan, who came over to greet He Daqing.
Every word and action was filled with respect for He Daqing.
Yes, if He Daqing had not been sent here, they would all be starving now.
"Happy New Year! Good health!"
He Daqing also responded to everyone enthusiastically.
When he returned to his father-in-law's house, he found that the yard was full of villagers. They were all surrounding Xiao Yulin, vying to hold him in their arms.
He Daqing discovered that these villagers brought a lot of things.
Although they are not worth much, they are their thoughts!
These villagers have always remembered He Daqing’s kindness!
"Hello, Mr. He!"
"Happy New Year, Mr. He!"
Some people noticed He Daqing and turned around, smiling and greeting him.
"It's all good, it's all good!"
He Daqing also enjoyed this feeling.
People are a little poor and suffer a lot in this era, but most people have good hearts.
Unlike in later generations, not only will you not receive any benefits or thanks for doing good deeds, but you may even be sued if you are not careful.
Moreover, people in this era were very enthusiastic towards each other, not as indifferent as in later generations.
He Daqing sat down leisurely and began to take the pulse of the villagers one by one.
Every time he returns to the village for the New Year, He Daqing diagnoses the villagers, which has become an old tradition. Although the food is better this year, the older people get, the more illnesses they have, and it is inevitable that there will be some problems of one kind or another.
After taking the pulse of each villager, prescribing medicine, and giving Liu two injections, this year's Chinese New Year was considered over.
However, when they returned to Sijiu City, a dispute broke out again in the Qin family's courtyard.
Xiao Yuhao fell in love with the cattle and sheep in the community and shouted that he didn't want to go back to the city. However, Qin Jingru missed the food at He Daqing's house and wanted to continue living in the city with He Daqing. However, the conditions in the village had improved now, and her parents were reluctant to let her go.
After some argument, He Daqing and Qin Huairu still pulled He Yuhao away from Qinjia Bay.
This kid just wants to play for a day or two. Let him stay for a few more days and he will probably ask to go home by then!
Yes, although the conditions in Qinjia Bay have improved now, the food cannot be compared with that of He Daqing's family!
As for Qin Jingru, she had to work and earn work points in the village in the spring. One more person earned one work point, and Qin Jingru was not young anymore, so naturally she had to stay in the village.
Seeing his sister-in-law secretly wiping away tears, He Daqing felt soft-hearted. He patted Qin Jingru on the shoulder and said with a smile,
"Jingru, don't worry. You have accepted your brother-in-law's family as your own. When you have time, go to the city and your brother-in-law will make you something delicious!"
"Uh-huh!"
After hearing this, Qin Jingru felt a little better.
Amidst all the crying and noise, He Daqing and Qin Huairu finally boarded the bus to Sijiu City.
However, when the couple came back carrying large and small bags, as soon as they entered the front yard, they heard someone crying in the middle yard.
"Oh my God, you won't let me live!"
"My dear!"
"Dongxu's father, Banggeng's father, if you were here, we wouldn't be living such a miserable life!"
"what……"
The sound was very special. You didn't even need to look to know that it was the crying sound coming from Jia Zhang's wife in the west room next door.
It’s just that it’s New Year’s Day, and even if other people’s food isn’t that great, it’s not necessary to cry and scream.
Moreover, Jia Zhang made a lot of money at the steel rolling mill. According to the original plot, their family of five would have some surplus. He Daqing didn't believe it. Now there are only three people in their family. How could they not have enough food?
