Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

  Chapter 202 Killing a pig for a treat

  Xu Chenghou knew that his son's house was building a new house, and it would not look good to add some old-fashioned furniture.

  So I went to Songjianghe specially, and chatted with him for a long time under the pretext that I needed to make furniture at home.

  After returning, they made furniture for Xu Shiyan according to the most popular styles at present.

  Large wardrobe, vertical cabinet, chest of drawers, coffee table, cupboard, writing desk, kang table, side stand, chair, stool.

  When Xu Shiyan came back from the mountain, the old man had already made a few big pieces, and the rest were just busy with his father.

  In mid-January, Xu Shixiang came back from winter vacation.

   He also brought back a set of fine porcelain tea sets from JDZ to Xu Shiyan. It was so beautiful that it was considered a congratulatory gift for Xu Shiyan.

  When the fifth child came back, the three of them made furniture together, or helped Xu Shixian clean up the house.

  I have to prepare feed for the open-mouth beasts at home, and I am busy every day anyway.

   Just being so busy, it will soon be the end of the year.

  The team kills pigs and divides the meat, and everyone starts to kill pigs and make tofu, busy preparing for the New Year.

  The Xu family caught two pigs at the beginning of the spring, and after raising them for a year, they only weighed 200 catties, and they were fed with scallions.

  Xu Shiyan discussed with his wife, one of the two pigs was killed a year ago, and the other was killed after the beginning of spring.

  Being busy in the Spring Festival, I am tired, and the food is not good and there is no oily water. It is better to kill it at that time and keep more meat for myself.

  Xu Shiyan has been taken care of by the brigade leaders and neighbors since he moved to Donggang. No matter what happened at home, they would come to help.

  So when slaughtering pigs years ago, Xu Shiyan planned to invite people from Yu Shouguang and other brigades, as well as neighbors and friends who got along well.

   Killing pigs and entertaining guests is a traditional custom. Su Anying doesn't care about these, and Xu Shiyan can do whatever he wants.

  Therefore, Xu Shiyan notified Yu Shouguang and others in advance to let them come to eat at home on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

   He also made a special trip to the Han family to invite the old man of the Han family and the brothers Han Limin.

   It happened that Han Liwei, the youngest of the Han family, was going home to visit relatives, so Xu Shiyan said, let's go there together to join in the fun.

  On the morning of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Jianshe, Yang Chunming, Huang Shengli and others all came to Xu's house.

  The crowd entered the pigsty, grabbed a pig that had been hungry for a day and hadn’t fed it, tied it to a bench and killed it.

   Everyone cleaned up together, and the house was also busy cooking.

   Xu Shiqin, who works in a tailor shop, has to ask for leave to help at home.

  The tailor shop, in fact, will not accept work after the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. As the year approaches, who doesn't have anything to do?

  So Xu Shiqin asked for leave, and the master readily agreed.

  Men are busy killing pigs and shaving them, dismantling pigs for internal organs, dismantling pork and chopping bones.

  Women cut sauerkraut, pick up pig blood, wash pigs and load them, and prepare blood sausages, head and hooves to load.

   Originally, Su Anying was going to clean the pigs and unload the goods, but Xu Jinping, who was lying on the kang, woke up and cried. She had no choice but to comfort the child first.

  Xu Shiqin saw it, and went to the well in the yard with a pot of pig intestines, intending to press the water up to clean it.

  Beside the pressurized well, a man in a grass-green uniform was carrying a bucket of water to leave, and the two met after walking.

   "Do you want to fetch water? Let me help you."

  When the other party saw Xu Shiqin, he hurriedly put down the bucket, and stepped forward to help Xu Shiqin carry the pigs to the pressurized well.

   Then press the handle hard, and the clear well water will come up with a splash.

  Xu Shiqin didn't know each other, but he also knew that this should be his brother's friend.

  People helped, she must thank her. So he smiled at the other party, "Thank you."

  The young man on the opposite side glanced at Xu Shiqin, froze for a moment, then nodded.

   "You wash first, if you still fetch water after a while, call me."

  Xu Shiqin and Xu Shiyan look a bit like Xu Shiyan, and they are brother and sister at a glance.

  The other party didn't say anything else, and without waiting for Xu Shiqin's answer, he turned around and left with the bucket in his hand.

  Xu Shiqin was a little unresponsive. Looking at the tall and straight back of the other party, he was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled, moved the basin to the side, and began to clean the pig's intestines.

  By the time Su Anying came out after feeding her daughter, Xu Shiqin had already rubbed the pig intestines with plant ashes twice, and was about to rub the pig intestines with soda again.

  The two aunts and sisters-in-law worked together, washed it with vinegar again, and rinsed it with clean water twice before taking it back for blood sausage filling.

  If you kill a pig for a treat, you must eat authentic pig-killing dishes.

  Sauer cabbage meat blood sausage, and then a platter of pig offal, pig head meat and so on.

  The dishes don’t need to be exquisite, as long as they are generous in quantity, open to the eye, and accompanied by two bottles of good wine, it will be very good.

  There was a table on the kang in the east room and a table on the ground. Everyone gathered together to exchange cups, drink and punch each other. It was extremely lively.

  Han Wenzhong is very famous in the field, not to mention that his three sons are all outstanding, and Yu Shouguang and others are familiar with them.

   Several older people get together and chat more and more speculatively.

   When Xu Chenghou and Han Wenzhong met for the first time, they felt that they were in the right temper, chatting while drinking.

  Han Wenzhong praised Xu Shiyan for being filial, capable, and kind-hearted, while Xu Chenghou praised the three sons of the Han family for their promise.

  Anyway, men drank wine and praised each other.

  The table of young people on the ground is also very lively. Although Han Limin, Yang Chunming and others have never met before, a friend of a friend is a friend.

  Northeast people never know each other at the wine table, as long as they drink together today, they will be friends from now on, and it’s fine to talk about things.

   "Limin, where is your brother in the army?

  The young man looks really good, do you have a date? If there is no match, I will introduce my sister-in-law to him. "

  Yang Chunming drank a lot of wine and got a little heady, so he hooked up with Han Limin and asked about Han Lizhi's situation with a smile.

  Han Limin didn't drink less, and laughed immediately when he heard about his brother.

   "You mean the third child in my family? He is only twenty-two, and he is going to be a soldier at eighteen, and he is in Shenyang.

   I don’t have a partner yet, I’m still young, so don’t worry. "

   Generally speaking, those who are still young and not in a hurry are mostly excuses to shirk.

  Yang Chunming understood as soon as he heard it. His sister-in-law was a rural girl, and the Han family participated in the field and belonged to the workers.

  The shoulders of the two families are not the same, he is reckless.

   "Yes, yes, brother is young and has a bright future, so it's not good to think about it too early."

  Yang Chunming said something along the way, then poured wine for Han Limin, and the two continued to drink.

  As the protagonist being talked about, Han Liwei didn't drink much alcohol.

  He has good hearing. Even though the room is so lively and everyone is talking loudly, he can still hear the conversations between the elder brother and others.

  Han Liwei lowered his eyes and looked at the blood sausage in the sauerkraut bowl in front of him.

   "Brother Xu, come, let me toast you.

  In the past few days since I’ve been back, I often hear my father mention Brother Xu, saying that Brother Xu is a good person, very smart, sincere, and worthy of friendship. "

  Han Liwei picked up the wine glass, approached Xu Shiyan, and toasted Xu Shiyan with a smile.

  Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and quickly picked up his wine glass.

   "Where is it, he is just an old farmer, a little clever and not much.

  In comparison, no one is as capable as the three of you brothers. I, Uncle Han, are so lucky.

  Come on, let's not respect each other, let's go together. "

   After finishing speaking, the two touched their wine glasses, and each drank the wine in the glass.

   "Brother Xu, how many brothers do you have? I don't even know each other." Han Liwei asked seemingly casually.
