60s happy life

Chapter 3 Fiance?
Having nothing to say all night, Liu Xiaoying opened her eyes and found that she was still in this dilapidated house, and she sighed inwardly.

She got up and put the quilt into the space, folded the torn quilt, and then changed into the small clothes inside. The original owner didn't wear underwear inside, which made Liu Xiaoying a little unacceptable.

She wore a piece of patched clean clothes outside. There was nothing she could do about it. She searched the whole house and found that all the clothes were patched. Didn’t it mean that the soldiers had a lot of allowances? How did this family live like this?

Liu Xiaoying shook her head, she lit the fire, boiled water to wash up, ate a bowl of instant noodles and was going to visit the cellar.

Liu Xiaoying went down to the cellar with a flashlight, and as expected, there was nothing to eat.

She took out a bag of cornmeal and put it on the straw, and some cabbages and potatoes.They are all commonly eaten in winter, so no one should pay attention.

After packing up, she covered the cellar before going out.

The superficial sitting and eating is no longer enough, she needs to find some work to do, or make money.

But in this day and age, there is no way to make money at all. Everyone has to go to work, and only those with crafts can make money.

Liu Xiaoying sighed, and she set her sights on the back mountain. It is said that there are many wild animals there, including many pheasants and hares.

People in the village basically don't know how to hunt, and at most they pick mushrooms and wild vegetables. It seems that there are wild boars, bears and blind people, and everyone is quite afraid.

A few years ago, some people were killed by wild boars, and the villagers dared not go in. Everyone was collecting firewood and wild vegetables outside.

Liu Xiaoying felt uneasy. Although she had been in the mountains before, she was really not good at hunting or anything like that.

By the way, she went abroad to buy a few pocket bows and crossbows for self-defense at first, but she didn't expect them to be useful.

Liu Xiaoying has never touched this thing before, but the owner taught her when she bought it, and it is very lethal.

Liu Xiaoying decided to go up the mountain to try it out, instead of going deep into the mountain, just walk around to see her luck.

She locked the door and carried the bamboo basket directly into the back mountain from the back door.

There was no one at all along the way, most of the people were at work at this time, and the corn would be harvested soon, and no one came out to hang out, not to mention that there are no wild vegetables in the mountains now.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the forest in front of me was getting thicker and thicker. Liu Xiaoying decided to just walk around here and not go any further.

She took out the bow and crossbow, tied it to her wrist, installed the arrow, and walked forward with her hands.

Why do you start?This thing is very fast, and if you are not careful, you can hurt yourself, Liu Xiaoying is still quite afraid of this thing.

"Shhhh..."

There was the sound of leaves rubbing against each other in front of her. Liu Xiaoying walked forward slowly, and a dusty rabbit appeared under the root of the tree.

Liu Xiaoying took a deep breath and aimed at the rabbit.

Just hear a "huh" sound.

The rabbit's leg was shot through, and it was bleeding.Liu Xiaoying hurried over to pick up the struggling rabbit.

He took out the dagger, wiped the rabbit's neck, and threw it directly into the space.

"Nearly hit the head." Liu Xiaoying originally aimed at the rabbit's head, but unexpectedly shot through the leg.

But this was quite lucky, and then Liu Xiaoying scared away a few rabbits and pheasants, and got two more pheasants, and then she was satisfied.

After collecting a basket of firewood, Liu Xiaoying hurried down the mountain to go home at noon.

After going down the mountain, Liu Xiaoying saw a green figure standing in front of her house at a glance.

It seems that she is really waiting for her, but she doesn't know him at all, so what should I do.

Liu Xiaoying was standing in front of the door, the green figure seemed to notice something, and turned to meet Liu Xiaoying's eyes.

Liu Xiaoying stared at him blankly, this man was quite handsome.

He has a firm face and a short cut, with wheat-colored skin. He is more than 1.8 meters tall and has no expression on his face.

Cool guy?
Liu Xiaoying looked at him suspiciously, and the man walked up to Liu Xiaoying step by step.

"Hello, I'm from Hejiawan, and my name is He Haowen. Is Liu Xiaoying's family here?" The man's voice was full of magnetism and deep.

Liu Xiaoying withdrew her scrutiny and nodded, "Hi comrade, I am Liu Xiaoying, what can I do for you?"

He Haowen did not expect that the thin woman in front of him was his fiancée Liu Xiaoying. Her parents died and no one took care of her. Her thin body was carrying a basket of firewood.

Liu Xiaoying stared blankly at the pity in this man's eyes.

Why is it poor?Liu Xiaoying was dumbfounded.

"I am your fiancé."

"what!?"

Liu Xiaoying was stunned, fiance! ?She actually has a fiance?Still a soldier brother?
When Liu Xiaoying recovered, she was already sitting on the edge of the kang with that man and staring at each other.

"Um, what's the matter, I haven't eaten yet, I'll go cook." Liu Xiaoying saw that he was carrying a big backpack in the dust, he must have come from a long way, right?

He Haowen's stomach rumbled when she said this, and he blushed and scratched his head, "I really haven't eaten."

Liu Xiaoying looked at such a cute brother Bing who was completely different from the expressionless man before.

She blushed slightly, turned around and went directly to the outer room, "I'll cook, you sit down first."

God, why is she blushing?Just been betrayed by a man and you're in such a hurry to find another one?

Liu Xiaoying took a deep breath, took out a pheasant, boiled water and plucked the feathers neatly, stewed the pheasant with potatoes, and then put a pot of corn flour pancakes on it.

The food came out in one pot, Liu Xiaoying put the small kang table, served the food, and then said: "Let's eat, there is nothing good at home, let's deal with it."

This is not a good thing?He Haowen swallowed his saliva as he looked at the pot full of chicken and stewed potatoes.

"That's not bad."

Liu Xiaoying smiled and handed him the pancakes, the two of them didn't speak, they just ate in silence.

Under Liu Xiaoying's stunned eyes, He Haowen swallowed the tenth pancake, and then hiccupped.

He Haowen scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I ate too much."

Liu Xiaoying thought that he was afraid that she would dislike him for eating too much, so she waved her hands and said, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, and it's a blessing to eat so much."

He Haowen looked at the girl with a sallow face in front of him, and felt warm in his heart. Because his family disliked him for eating too much, he was sent to the army, and the monthly allowance was handed in. Every time he went back to eat something, he had to look at his stepmother's face .

This sentence is a blessing to be able to eat, and his mother also told him when he was a child.

Seeing his calm expression, Liu Xiaoying thought he was really embarrassed, and said, "I'm telling the truth. I don't eat much every time I eat. I think those who can eat are lucky."

He Haowen looked up at her and smiled, "I'm fine."

Liu Xiaoying looked at it and smiled, my God, this person is here to seduce me!

"Do you know about our marriage?" He Haowen asked suddenly.

Liu Xiaoying looked away anxiously in a blink of an eye. "I have no idea."

He Haowen was not surprised, he continued: "When I found out, I hadn't joined the army yet, and my family betrothed me to you because of your father."

It turned out that when Father Liu gave the He family ten catties of grain to save their family's life, the old man of the He family decided to appoint the boy with the most men in the big house to Father Liu as his son-in-law.

Although Dafang objected, he had to admit that it was Father Liu who saved their family.
