Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

Chapter 47: Early Encounter (Additional Updates Asking for Monthly Tickets)
Yu Qiutang returned to normal only after the two girls left.

He was certainly not the kind of lecherous man who couldn't move away when seeing a woman. He just never expected to meet his wife Miali at this time and in this place.

He had never been in a hurry to get a wife before because he subconsciously felt that she was still far away. He and Mia Li were introduced by a matchmaker, they met at the age of 21, and got married at the age of 22, which is still more than four years away.

Yu Qiutang and Mi Yali have a very good relationship. Mi Yali suffered a lot with him in her previous life, so he must find a way to let her live a good life in this life.

He subconsciously took being with Miali for granted, but he didn't expect to meet 19-year-old Miali by chance today.

She's so pretty.

When I met Miali in my previous life, she was already in her early twenties. Although she was still very young, she had been overwhelmed by life and had lost her lively personality.

Girls now are the most beautiful and lovely.

This…

It completely disrupts the rhythm.

He is now focused on making money and building his family business, but then he met Mia Li and started to feel worried about her so early on, which really made him "helpless".

At this time, the rain outside had stopped. Yu Qiutang ran out of the store and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the longing look in Miyali's eyes when she saw the scarf just now.

She didn't have any extra money, and probably used the money she had saved with great difficulty to buy a birthday present for her second sister-in-law Mi Yahong. In fact, she herself liked that scarf very much.

Unfortunately, she is the eldest daughter in the Mi family and she is the only one who remembers others. Her younger brothers and sisters seldom care about her needs. She is just a girl who has just reached adulthood.

Suddenly remembering that the two sisters had just said they were working, he realized that they were working in an apricot kernel processing factory in the west of the town.

Rongcheng is rich in apricots. Almost every household has apricot trees planted around their yards, and there are several nearby hills also covered with apricot trees.

The apricot industry has already formed a certain scale in this era, which is mainly divided into apricot meat processing and apricot kernel processing.

The apricot meat is made into apricot preserves and sold all over the country.

Apricot kernels are also soaked in some medicines to remove the bitterness, and then sold as dried fruits.

The so-called apricot kernel factory is the place where apricot kernels are processed.

At that time, mechanization was still very backward, and some moldy, empty-shelled and other unqualified apricot kernels had to be sorted out manually.

Because women are naturally dexterous and can sort faster, women from nearby areas are widely recruited here to work as sorters.

Mi Yali has worked in this company on and off for nearly 10 years. She is efficient and clean in her work, which makes her very popular with the factory leaders and she gets the highest salary.

If you don't go for a while, the factory will ask someone about you.

Yu Qiutang suddenly remembered this from the meaning of their conversation just now. He knew that Mi Yali had worked in Xinghe for several years before marrying him.

In that case...

He suddenly had an idea, his old face turned red, he spent one dollar and thirty cents to buy the scarf, and ran towards the west of the city according to his memory.

Because he took a shortcut, he rushed to the gate of the apricot kernel factory and just saw the two sisters Miali walking into the gate. He stood in the distance and waited for a while. After making sure that the two had gone far away, he "hastily" took the scarf and knocked on the window of the gatehouse.

"For what?"

The doorman stared at Yu Qiutang warily.

"Uncle, please give this scarf to the girl who just came in. Her name is Miyali." Yu Qiutang said, handing the scarf and fifty cents to the uncle, "You've worked hard, keep this fifty cents to buy a few packs of cigarettes."

At that time, many cigarettes cost only a few cents, one or two dimes, and fifty cents was enough to buy several packs.

Yu Qiutang knew that since Mi Yali worked here, he would have to deal with this doorman a lot in the future, so he built a good relationship with her in advance in case of emergency.

"What do you do?"

The doorman did not go to take the things immediately. Instead, he took out a pair of reading glasses from the drawer and put them on. He stuck his head out of the window to look at Yu Qiutang, his eyes full of vigilance and questioning.

Yu Qiutang immediately realized that he was being treated as a bad element.

At that time, there was also a crime called hooliganism, and the standards were quite strict. If you were not careful, you could be arrested for hooliganism.

The doorman looked like an old activist and was very alert.

Yu Qiutang quickly explained: "Oh, sir, it's just a girl I like, but I'm embarrassed to tell her, so I secretly gave her some gifts. There's no other meaning. If you don't believe me, I can tell you where the girl lives and who else is in her family..."

"Okay," perhaps it was Yu Qiutang's harmless smile that made the old man relax his guard. He put the scarf aside and threw the money back to Yu Qiutang, "I don't want to buy cigarettes. Put the things here. I'll give them to her."

Seeing this, Yu Qiutang didn't say anything and took the money back. It seemed that the old man was still an honest man and didn't want to take his things.

Then I'll think of a way later to see if there is anything else he likes.

The matter with Miali can only be considered over the long term. For now, they are still young and there is no rush to get married.

Just make sure no one steals it.

According to the timeline of their previous life, as long as they did nothing, they would get together because of a blind date four years later.

But the problem is, he is reborn now, and he knows that his beloved wife is right there. It would be really difficult for him to completely ignore her and wait for her for four years.

Moreover, they didn't know each other in their previous life, and it was natural for them to walk into each other's house. In this life, I still care about her. I think that such a good girl like her must have other people thinking about her. What if she falls in love with him?
My heart can no longer be so quiet.

This matter is serious. If it doesn’t happen, nothing will happen. But once it happens, I will be upset.

It’s because he had a good relationship with Miali in his previous life.

The two have been together for decades, from poverty to a wealthy life, and they rarely quarrel. Sometimes when he is very upset, Mia Li will always gently comfort and resolve the problem, and is willing to share the hardships with him in poverty.

The feelings are deep.

As he was thinking about this, he walked back to the center of the town and saw Old Man Qin sitting on a propped-up weighted bicycle smoking.

There were a few snakeskin bags under his buttocks, and a stick-like object was hung in front of the car. If my guess was correct, it should be an old hunting rifle, the kind with a round handle.

This kind of weighted bicycle is very sturdy. Although Old Man Qin is not tall, he looks very strong and must be very heavy. He can put all his weight on the seat without the bike falling over. This shows how much load the small bike frame can bear.

He was smoking and looking around boredly. When he saw Yu Qiutang, he quickly jumped out of the car with a smile on his face.

He waved to Yu Qiutang from a distance and shouted, "Brother Yu, here, here!"

Yu Qiutang also waved his hand, temporarily put Mi Yali's beautiful figure in his heart, and walked towards Old Man Qin with a smile.
