Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1151 Entering the 70s
He Jiayi and He Jiahuan each had a bowl and finished it quickly, not even leaving a drop of soup. They were still not satisfied and looked at Qin Hao eagerly.

"Wash the dishes and go back."

As a result, Qin Hao's words were like a bucket of cold water that chilled the two of them to the core.

"Oh."

The two sisters He Jiayi and He Jiahuan had no choice but to wash the dishes and go home. They didn’t dare to offend Qin Hao now. What if he changed his mind and stopped giving them special treatment?
"Is it a bit hard to bear?"

He Jiawen felt a little embarrassed when his thoughts were revealed.

Qin Hao said seriously: "Everything should be set in advance, and don't break it easily, otherwise if you fail to satisfy them in the future, they will easily feel resentful."

He Jiawen remained silent. She knew that Qin Hao did this for her. After all, there were only a limited amount of supplies. If the third and fourth children ate more, she would have to eat less.

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

"Second sister, you are really good at hiding. You must have eaten a lot of delicious food behind our backs, right?" He Jiahuan snorted.

He Jiawen rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "You guys ate it today, don't let it slip later."

"That's how much we eat. Second sister, please don't cook for us behind our backs anymore." He Jiayi lay on He Jiawen's shoulder and acted coquettishly.

He Jiawen shook his head helplessly: "It's almost the New Year. There are not so many delicious foods on weekdays. What are you thinking about every day?"

He Jiayi and He Jiahuan thought the same thing.

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

He Jiawen's cheeks were flushed by his sister's words: "Old Four, what nonsense are you talking about?"

He Jiayi said nonchalantly, "Hey, isn't this something that everyone knows? There's nothing to be ashamed of. You and Brother Qin Hao grew up together. In ancient times, this would be called childhood sweethearts. You are so beautiful, and Brother Qin Hao is so handsome. I guess our parents would want to recruit him as their son-in-law."

"You're getting more and more outrageous. I think you're just itching for a beating." He Jiawen was rarely angry and wanted to hit someone with a broom. He Jiayi and He Jiahuan quickly ran out of the kitchen.

Seeing this, Grandma He shook her head: "You are so old, and you are still fighting."

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

On New Year's Eve, as there was no television and it was cold outside, the adults from both families got together to play poker. They didn't go to bed until after midnight.

On the first day of work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Meixin suddenly felt retching.

"Meixin, are you pregnant again?" Grandma He was very happy.

He Changsheng's mood was very complicated. He was happy, of course, but he was also afraid that this baby would be a girl. The four girls in his family had already made him endure a lot of gossip.

After learning the lesson from last time, Liu Meixin was much more cautious this time and no longer dared to bravely do those heavy work.

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

Seeing that Liu Meixin's due date was getting closer, He Changsheng sent Liu Meixin to the health care center to give birth just in case.

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

Caesarean sections were quite risky in the 70s, and He Changsheng's hands were shaking at the time.

As a result, the caesarean section was finally successful and this time she gave birth to another daughter.

He Changsheng was completely numb at the time and didn't even go to hug his newborn daughter.

For several days, the He family felt shrouded in a dark cloud.

"Is it really that important to have a boy or not?" He Jiawen asked with his chin propped up while looking listless when he came to the cram school.

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

The 70s was a completely acquaintance society. People's scope of activities was very limited. The people they interacted with every day were either neighbors or co-workers. They saw each other every day. Even if they didn't say it to your face, you could always hear others talking about them behind your back.

People can be crushed to death under the tongue!

"My dad hasn't given the fifth child a name yet, and my mom is angry and said she wants the fifth child to take her surname." He Jiawen wanted to persuade his father but didn't know how to start.

"It would be nice if my elder sister was here at this time."

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

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

A month and a half later, Liu Meixin's health had recovered a little. She cried all day long in front of the fifth child, who had been named Liu Xiaoling, and no matter how Grandma He tried to persuade her, it was of no use.

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

"Sister, you're back? When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

He Jiali gave He Jiawen a hug and said, "I heard that mom has found another sister. I came back to see Lao Wu. It's hard to get a home visit leave from the Youth League Office."

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

He Jiawen ran all the way to the next door and said to Qin Hao, "Do you have anything delicious at home? My eldest sister is back."

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

"Forget about the meat. We have used all our meat coupons in the past few months to exchange for malted milk..." He Jiawen took half a bowl of oil residue, but he didn't dare to take the bacon.

"Okay, take it. You don't have to return it. It will save you from having to cook for others."

He Jiawen hesitated for a moment, but still took the bacon back. She had heard from Liu Ma next door that the educated youth had a hard life in the countryside and could only eat a few pieces of meat all year round. This time her eldest sister had finally come back, so she had to at least let her have some meat.

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

"Third and fourth brothers, where's the eldest sister?"

"I don't know. I think he just saw a letter from our mother and went out. He seemed to be in a hurry."

It was not until the evening that He Jiali and Liu Meixin returned home. Looking at the baby No. 5, He Jiawen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She also read the contents of the letter and realized that her mother wanted to give No. 5 to relatives in Shanghai.

"Mom, eldest sister, let's eat first. The third and fourth children are starving."

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, "Hasn't the meat coupons at home been exchanged for malted milk? Where did you get this bacon?"

"It was given to me by the neighbor next door. I heard that my eldest sister is back." He Jiawen lowered his head embarrassedly.

He Jiali did not notice anything unusual about He Jiawen, but Liu Meixin showed a meaningful expression.

"Then let's consider this meal as a welcome for Jiali. Let's all eat."

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

"Mm, this bacon is really delicious."

"It would be nice if we could eat bacon every day."

He Jiali was happy: "You two little greedy cats, you still eat meat every day, you are so happy."

"That's right. The rich landlords in ancient times didn't eat meat every day. Why would they dream about it every day?" Liu Mei Xin tapped the third and fourth brothers on the head twice.

He Jiayi and He Jiahuan looked at each other and smiled foolishly, and He's grandmother also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Qin Hao had just finished washing up when he heard a knock on the door. He opened it and saw it was He Jiali.

"You finally come back to visit your family, why don't you rest for a few more days?"

He Jiali shook the fishing rod in her hand and said with a smile: "I can't help it. I borrowed a piece of bacon from your family yesterday. I don't have any meat coupons at home. I can only see how my luck is today."

"Didn't I tell Jiawen that I don't have to pay it back?"

"That won't work. If you borrow and pay back, it won't be difficult to borrow again."

"Okay then, 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 whether she had a love relationship in the countryside, which made He Jiali give him a fierce look.

"What nonsense! I don't know how to fall in love."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Where's Tang Weimin? Isn't he sticking to you in the countryside?"

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

"It just so happens that when I see him, I'm reminded of the way Big Boss Tang bullied my dad. Out of sight, out of mind."

The change in Tang Weimin should be due to the change in his family environment. Before, Tang was the director of a leather factory under a foreign trade company. He was very successful for a while, so Tang Weimin naturally had the confidence to approach He Jiali.

But ever since Boss Tang was demoted, their family's situation has completely changed. On the contrary, He Changsheng not only became a party member, but was also promoted to team leader.

When a boy faces a girl he likes who is better than him, he will inevitably feel a little inferior.

As they were talking, the two had already reached the river. Qin Hao found an area with lush aquatic plants and said to He Jiali.

"Let's go fishing for turtles today."

"Okay, it's up to you."

It was not until the sun set on the other side of the river that Qin Hao and He Jiali finally felt unsatisfied and prepared to go home. There were already three soft-shelled turtles, one black fish and two crucian carp in the bucket, which was considered a good harvest.

Just when Qin Hao and He Jiali were passing by a shallow beach, they found Tang Weimin and Tang Youmin collecting traps by the river.

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

"Let's go. They also set traps themselves and don't dare to report us." He Jiali's words made Tang Weimin lower his head so low that he almost lay on the water.

Tang Youmin pointed at Qin Hao and He Jiali and said, "Just wait, one day I will avenge my father!"

Qin Hao turned around and smiled at Tang Youmin: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After the two left, Tang Weimin glared at his brother and said, "Can you please stop causing trouble? What's the situation in our family and you still want to offend others?"

"Hmph, anyway, it's all the Qin and He families' fault that our family is in this situation now. I won't let them go!" Tang Youmin said with his neck stiff.

Tang Weimin looked at He Jiali's receding back and sighed helplessly, "Alright, hurry up and pull the trap. The third child has just been born, and our mother needs additional nutrition. We really don't have money to buy malted milk."

"Oh."

On the other side, not long after Qin Hao and He Jiali returned home, He Jiayi and He Jiahuan came running over happily.

"Wow, big sister, you caught so much today."

"There's fish soup to drink again."

He Jiali was both angry and amused: "Look at you two little greedy cats, this fish is for our mom to nourish her body."

"Hey, mom eats fish, can we have some soup?"

"That's it."

He Jiali shook her head helplessly, turned to Qin Hao and said, "Give me this black fish, and you can have the rest. How about exchanging it for half a piece of bacon?"

"I'll keep three of the turtles, and the rest are yours. Aunt Liu just gave birth and needs more nutrition."

"Then I still owe your family a piece of bacon."

Seeing He Jiali's firm attitude, Qin Hao nodded: "Okay, you have the final say."

He Jiayi was disappointed when he heard this: "Ah, the bacon still needs to be returned."

"Nonsense, it's not difficult to borrow again if you pay back what you borrow. How can you take advantage of others for nothing?" He Jiali pinched He Jiayi's face.

As soon as she got home, He Jiali went into the kitchen and started busying herself. She raised two crucian carps to make black fish soup, while He Jiawen helped to light the fire.

He Jiayi said with a bitter face: "Alas, I want to eat turtle."

He Jiahuan rolled his eyes at her: "Are you stupid?"

"You are stupid. How can you talk to the third sister like that?"

“Besides, I say you are stupid but you still don’t accept it. All those extra meals you ate in the past few years were wasted. Let me ask you, how many people are there in our family?” He Jiahuan crossed his arms over his chest, looking like a little adult.

He Jiayi waved his fingers and counted them: "Not counting the fifth one, our father is away on business, there are still six."

"Think about it, there are so many people in our family, how big is a turtle? One person takes one chopstick and it's gone. Let me ask you again, how many people are there, you, me, my second sister, and Brother Qin Hao?"

"Four."

"For four people, can we eat a few more pieces? Besides, Brother Qin Hao has three turtles at home this time."

He Jiayi's eyes lit up: "Yes, you are the smartest one, Old Four. You are very cunning."

"That's right, you think everyone is like you, only tall but not smart."

"Old Four, I think you are itching for trouble."

He Jiali looked at her two younger sisters who were fighting outside and shook her head: "They are so old and still fighting."

"I feel uncomfortable if I don't play for a day. I'm used to it." He Jiawen said with a smile.

"Sister, this time when you went to the countryside, I realized how hard it is to be a big sister..."

"Hey, we're all family, why are you talking about this?" He Jiali patted He Jiawen's shoulder and said, "I won't be home often in the future, so please help me keep an eye on him."

"Especially the fifth child. Our father didn't even give her a name this time before he went on a business trip. Our mother almost gave her away. You have to keep a close eye on her and don't let her do anything stupid."

He Jiawen nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, big sister, I will take care of Lao Wu."

In the next two days, He Jiali went to the river to fish early in the morning, but Qin Hao and He Jiawen did not go because they had to attend classes.

He Jiali's catch these two days was not as good as before. She only caught two soft-shelled turtles, two carps and four crucian carps.

The two turtles and two carps were given to Qin Hao, and the four crucian carps were stewed into soup for Liu Meixin to supplement her nutrition.

She was originally a little worried that the third and fourth daughters would make trouble, but they turned out to be very well behaved, which was unlike their personalities.

"Old Third, have you ever found that the taste of secretly cooking is better than eating at home?"

"You are disrespectful, call me Third Sister!"
