Everyone in the village agreed.
"Okay, Auntie, such a fat pig must be very fragrant."
"I think it can make a lot of fat when fried!"
"The guts are probably fat too."
People gathered around the mule cart, leading two big fat pigs. , all the way into the village.
There was no need for the Li family to make a fuss, all the young and old people in the village who had nothing to do gathered together.
The Li family did not have a pigsty, so the men moved adobe bricks from home and quickly built one in the northwest corner of the vegetable garden. They even built a linoleum shed to prevent the fat pigs from freezing.
In the front yard, the dying sow finally went to see the Lord of Hell, where she was shaved, disemboweled, and divided into small pieces.
There are only a hundred people in the village, and half a pig is enough to eat.
With half of the head left, the old lady divided another half and gave each family a piece of meat, which was fatter and thinner.
The women in each family were so happy that they were crazy, not for anything else, just for the three-finger-wide fat, which would definitely make a splash when put into the pot!
Li Laoer drove the family's carriage to pick up Mrs. Cui, Mr. Wen, and Liu Zhiheng. He even went to the Marquis's Mansion to tell the Marquis who came to the city yesterday to go home and eat pig meat.
Only then did Mrs. Li realize that her sons had actually bought a carriage for the family.
She didn't blame him, she had this plan originally.
There was no way she could let her granddaughter wrap herself in a quilt when she went out next time. As a result, her sons had done it in advance and saved her trouble...
Liu Zhiheng went to Xinzhuangzi over in Xianhe Town, so Li The second child only picked up Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen.
The Marquis's carriage followed behind. Not only did the Marquis come back, but he also brought with him the butler who liked to join in the fun.
Three living big fat pigs, everyone looked at them with envy.
The one that was already in the pot made everyone's mouths full of oil.
Jiayin held the bowl, sat in Mrs. Cui's arms and ate two meatballs, and was fed two pieces of pork ribs by the Marquis. Finally, she drank a large bowl of bone soup, which made her belly feel full.
Perhaps because she was afraid of her grandma's nagging, she went to sleep with Mrs. Cui that night, which made the old lady dumbfounded, but Mrs. Cui couldn't be happier.
The lively days always fly by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the twelfth lunar month comes to an end, and the most important day of the year is ushered in, the New Year.
Whether you have money or not, you should have a good New Year. This is the habit of all people.
Not only do you reward yourself for your hard work over the past year, but you also encourage yourself to be busy in the new year.
Here at Ruijintan, the hot spring water valley is closed on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month and reopens on the sixth day of the lunar new year.
During this period of seven or eight days, it was the rest time for the entire village.
The children in the school also had a holiday, and even the family in Luo'an came back.
Brother Li followed his brothers and ran around wildly every day.
Jiaren and Jiahuan also followed Jiayi and Liu Yang, went to the hot springs to swim in the water, went up the mountain to catch pheasants and rabbits, and completely relaxed.
The dividend meeting that the whole village was looking forward to was also held under the auspices of the village chief and Li Laoer.
The dividend standards had been drawn up long ago. The wages would be paid first, and then the dividend money would be distributed based on the amount of shares each company had invested. It would be considered a complete success.
Needless to say, the one who got the most was Mr. Hou, the major shareholder, and the second one was the Li family.
But each family is not jealous or jealous at all, because they don't take less.
Even Uncle Zhao and several old men, who originally subscribed for one share as a partnership, now receive more than a hundred taels!
Some families with a large population received more than 500 taels in salary and dividends, and they felt like they were stepping on cotton when they were so happy.
As for the Li family, Mrs. Li was not verbose. She would give what should be distributed to her children and grandchildren, and the rest would be put into the public accounts. When she saw the numbers on the account books, she was also walking ahead.
The four brothers of the Li family, all with bulging wallets, were equally happy.
On the evening of the 30th, Li Zhensheng bought a pair of gold bracelets for my mother, the second brother bought a gold hairpin for my mother, the third brother embroidered a brocade coat and skirt for my mother, and the fourth brother and his wife prepared shoes with gold beads for my mother, plus a pair of shoes. Pair of gold earrings.
Needless to say, the brothers had discussed it in advance and worked together to make me look golden.
Even on this day, Fu Niu loved to stick to her bejeweled grandma, which made everyone laugh.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Cui insisted on going back to her village to celebrate the New Year. Mr. Wen was also in the city, and the Marquis wanted to attend the banquet in the palace.
But with Uncle Zhao, several old men, and the village elders, the Li family's New Year's Eve banquet was still extremely lively.
As a result, Mrs. Cui came back early on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Mr. Wen was still sitting in the carriage. Mr. Wen even said that he would stay at Li's house for a few days, and then return to the city on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Everyone guessed that his family might not be harmonious.
Otherwise, there is no way to spend the Chinese New Year, instead of spending time with parents and relatives, living outside. But no one asked or told, Mr. Wen was directly arranged to live in the wing room with Li Laoer and Jiaren Jiayi.
Jiaren just took the opportunity to ask for advice on all the problems he had in his daily homework.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Cui went to the Liu family. On the way back, she met the Marquis and came back together. As a result, the Li family yard became even more lively, with two tables set up for every meal.
On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhensheng took the boys for a stroll in the city and bought a lot of things. There were gifts for everyone in the family.
The old lady and daughter-in-law are the clothes, Jiaren and Brother Li are the four treasures of the study and several new travel books, Jiayi and Liu Yang are the daggers, Jiaan Jiaxi and Brother Mao are the various snacks and snacks.
Jiayin, a money-lover, hugged a bunch of silver peanuts and smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes.
Mrs. Li pulled apart the material and discussed with her daughters-in-law how to cut it.
"This piece of azure is used to sew two gowns for the boss and the second child. It's warmer here in Xindu than in the north. I'm afraid spring will start after the first lunar month, so it's a good time to wear it."
"This piece of sapphire blue is for Jia Renhe . Each brother will make one piece, and also embroider some moire or bamboo patterns. They are studying in college, so they can't dress too casually and make their classmates look down on them."
"Oh, this piece of satin is really good. It will give our family a blessing. How about you sew a dress and embroider some goose-yellow winter jasmine flowers?"
As long as they are women, young and old, there is no one who does not like new dresses and jewelry.
The old lady and her two daughters-in-law discussed happily, and the good news rolled around in the fabric, giggling loudly.
The old lady was afraid that the satin would be scratched, so she grabbed the fat girl and handed it to her eldest son. "Watch this girl, she is really good at making trouble."
Jiayin hugged the uncle's neck, twisting and twisting like a silkworm baby, pretending to cry, "Oh, grandma doesn't love Fu Niu anymore, Fu Niu is so sad."
Li Zhensheng The little niece made her laugh, and she quickly took out a piece of silver from her purse.
Sure enough, Jiayin immediately beamed with joy, and Le Diandian went to the end of the kang to open the box and hide the money.
After this year, she has not grown taller, but she has gained more fat.
At this moment, his little head was buried in the box, and his body was still exposed. He couldn't get out for a while, so he kicked his little fat legs and shouted in a muffled voice, "Help, help!"
Mr. Li, who was the closest , kicked his little fat legs. Si Yi took his daughter out. She was a fat baby with frizzy hair and a flushed face, which made the whole family laugh.
Jiayin was so embarrassed that she pinched her fat arms and legs, feeling extremely depressed.
Although she was only two years and five months old, she was already four years old.
It's a pity that it's not enough. When will she grow up? At least let her be taller than the cabinet!
Let's not talk about Jiayin's struggles, just that Li Zhensheng laughed with his family, and his heart was full of guilt and intolerance.
But in the end, he took advantage of my mother's free time to get the scissors and said, "Mom, I'm going to Quanzhou. I'll set off early tomorrow morning."
