On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the knife hand of Zhuangzi who killed pigs arrived at home, first tied one head, carried it on a tricycle and pulled it away, and then prepared to kill the pig. When the neighbors heard that Lao Ma's family had killed pigs, they all came around to watch. Ma Baoguo went to the pigsty, tied the rope to the front leg of a pig and dragged it out, the pig obviously had sensed the catastrophe coming, and began to run around in the pigsty, and when the rope was tied to its legs, it already knew that it was difficult to escape, but it was still desperately struggling, constantly wailing, the voice was terrible, and Ma Feiyang only felt moved.

The pig rode the horse to report the country a relaxation, a break free, with the rope to the crowd of people, so people began to chase and intercept, then only to see the knife hand on the side of the pig unhurriedly followed, constantly adjust the pace of the approach, suddenly forward a side pounce, the pig was knocked to the ground, the pig just about to get up, immediately two people came up, one pressed the head, one held the hind legs, the knife hand against the front legs. The knifeman and the man holding the hind leg quickly took out the rope and wrapped it around the pig's front and hind legs a few times, and the pig did not move, but could only lie there and "hum".

Then one of them brought a stick and passed it between the pig's front and back legs, and the four men put a pig on a large wooden bench that had been prepared, and below it was a porcelain basin. The knife hand took out a sharp knife from the bicycle next to him, wiped it with a cloth a few times, turned back to the pig's head, touched it at the neck, and then suddenly stabbed it in, at first the pig still violently moved a few times, but soon there was no sound, as soon as the knife was pulled out, the pig's blood shot like an arrow to the porcelain basin. Ma Feiyang only watched in horror, and Ma Xiaoyang never came out of the house.

Then they carried the pig into a large wooden barrel, into which the boiling water had already been poured out, and the little knife hand had begun to shed its hair, and in a few moments a large white and light fat pig was revealed. A few people hung the pig on a hook and hung it, and the knife hand changed a knife, which was wider than the knife just now, and saw the knife hand holding the knife in the pig's abdomen from top to bottom, and the pig's water was dispersed, and then the knife hand sorted out the pig's water, put the pig down, and began to divide. The neighbors came to buy it, and except for one of the hind legs of the pig, the rest was divided in an instant.

After the knife hand finished killing the pig, he squatted to the side, smoked a cigarette, and laughed with the people around him as if nothing happened. Ma Feiyang saw that this little knife hand was not very vicious, and he laughed quite kindly, but he really couldn't figure out that he killed the pig, and he was not soft at all. Ma Baoguo also came over to hand him cigarettes, saying that he had worked hard, and then he settled the bill, and Ma Baoguo sent some pigs to him, and he took them unceremoniously.

Twenty-four is a small year, also known as the sacrificial stove festival, Ma Baoguo fried a few dishes in the evening, which naturally has the contribution of today's pig, Ma Baoguo, his younger brother Ma Yueyang are full of praise, my sister also ate a few chopsticks, but Ma Feiyang can't eat, thinking of the tragic situation of the pig, he really can't get off the chopsticks. Ma Baoguo asked him why he didn't eat it, and Ma Feiyang said that this pig is really miserable, and we are really cruel. Ma Baoguo laughed and said that he had read a lot of books and was stunned.

Ma Feiyang also knows that pigs are eaten when they grow up and get fat, not only for pigs, but also for cows, sheep, chickens, fish, etc., and it has always been like this. There was nothing to make a fuss about, but Ma Feiyang remembered that the little knife hand went down, and his heart was still awkward, thinking to himself, can't we think of a way to end the lives of pigs, cows, and sheep without pain and cruelty.

Ma Feiyang also thought that the pig died in a state of extreme fear, and its meat was likely to lose its best taste in this state, and it might even release some toxins at the moment of death, so as to take revenge on the people who ate it. If the pig dies happily, maybe its meat will be more delicious, but unfortunately we humans don't understand this, so we don't actually eat the most delicious pork. Thinking of this, Ma Feiyang showed a sneer.

After the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the breath of this year is getting stronger and heavier, and every household is busy, gathering for a while, and going to the house for a while. At this time, the children don't have to study anymore, and the adults don't urge them to ask, let them play, and you can often see a group of people cutting money here, a group of people wrestling treasures, and skating in the river, and the girls, all of whom also get together or jump bands, or jump ropes, or throw sandbags.

On the 28th day of the lunar month, Ma Baoguo asked Ma Feiyang to buy some peanuts, melon seeds and other small foods in case the family came to relatives in the first month.

During the Chinese New Year, the town doesn't talk about whether it is a market or not, and it is bustling every day. Ma Feiyang was not in a hurry to buy things when he came to the market, so he walked along the stall. Suddenly, he stopped, because diagonally opposite was the Gentle Family's shop, and even he couldn't figure out whether it was intentional or unintentional. He stood and looked at the store, and after a while, a gentle figure appeared in the store.

Gentle is dressed in a white cotton jacket with a big red scarf, the cotton jacket is the most popular style at the moment, and the hair is the standard "ponytail". Her snow-white skin and white cotton jacket were reflected by the big red scarf, which looked radiant, which reminded Ma Feiyang of "It must be a sunny day, look at the red dress and plain wrap, it is extraordinarily enchanting." Ma Feiyang kept his eyes off, and his steps slowly moved forward, so that he was closer to gentleness. Ma Feiyang stood on the street, and the people who came and went didn't seem to be in his sight, and there was only tenderness in his sight.

Gentleness may have felt it, and she could sense a gaze shooting here. She suddenly looked back and found that Ma Feiyang was standing in the crowd looking at her, and as soon as the two of them met their eyes, they both smiled. Beckoning gently, Ma Feiyang also beckoned, gently beckoned him to pass, Ma Feiyang waved his hand again. Gentle smiled again, she knew that Ma Feiyang didn't want to see her mother, and at this moment the gentle mother also entered the store, Ma Feiyang immediately put away her smile when she saw it, and raised her hand to her chest to say goodbye.

Although he didn't say a word in a hurry, Ma Feiyang felt very satisfied, and he saw a gentle smile, which made him know that everything was okay with gentleness. So he silently wished a happy new year to Gentle in his heart.

He finished shopping, rode home, he rode fast, the cold wind in his ears whistling, but it was not cold at all, when the cold wind blew, he straightened his body even more, he even deliberately chased the direction ......of the wind, he laughed and shouted in the cold wind.

For the Chinese New Year, Ma Feiyang obviously has no previous expectations. He remembers that when he was a child, the hope for the New Year always seemed to be accompanied by a drive that made him happy and happy, and before Chinese New Year's Eve was counted day by day, hoping to be faster, and after thirty the feeling was the opposite. There seem to be surprises every day of the New Year, steamed buns today, tofu tomorrow, and firecrackers the day after tomorrow. When the firecrackers went off and the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, he knew that it was the year.

He likes to come to relatives at home, and he also likes to follow his father and mother to relatives, have good food every day, and play happily with his cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins who don't see each other often. More importantly, as long as he kowtows, the elders will give money, he still remembers one year, as long as he sees an adult, he will kowtow, his aunt kowtows to his uncle, and the family laughs, saying that it is okay for his uncle and aunt to kowtow alone, but he doesn't care about these, he really got a lot of money that year. Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would follow his grandmother to the meeting, and the meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was really big, there were so many people, and there were many things. He remembered that once he wanted a small wooden sword, and his grandmother said that this small wooden sword was so good that he went home and asked his grandfather to make one, which was guaranteed to be much stronger than this, but he didn't want this one resolutely, and then he didn't leave, and his grandmother dragged it away, and he couldn't roll on the ground, and finally grandma couldn't resist it, and finally bought it. I went to school after the fifteenth day of the first month, but the attachment to the year in my heart did not disappear all at once, and I still talked with my friends all day long, and the taste of this year was soon dispersed in this talk.

On the morning of the thirtieth, Ma Feiyang was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, and it was still dark outside. Ma Feiyang listened to the sound of firecrackers in the bed, he used to be in charge of firecrackers at home, he was very good at firecrackers, and there has been no accident so far, which is the best proof. He listened to the sound of firecrackers one after another, only to get tired, turned over and tightened the quilt, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with their family.

On the sixth day of junior high school, Wang Chuang invited a group of classmates to their house to play. Ma Feiyang went to Zhou Daqing's house first, and on the way Zhou Daqing said that Wang Chuang is different from us now, you see that he is wearing the most popular ones, even riding boots, and his hair is mousse. Ma Feiyang asked: "What happened to Liu Yu?" Zhou Daqing said: "Liu Yu can also do it, his master is about to open a restaurant, so he will follow the master." Ma Feiyang said with a smile: "Then let's let Liu Yu stir-fry today, and see what progress the craft has." ”

Saying that, he asked about the river boat again, and Zhou Daqing said: "The dog day river boat, it may be the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, I only arrived home, and I didn't come to find me when I got home, I must have looked for Gui Yizhi." Ma Feiyang said: "Heavy color and light friend, what about you, you didn't come to me, you must have also gone to Zhao Tiantian." ”

Zhou Daqing laughed, Ma Feiyang saw it, but he didn't expect to be right, and hurriedly asked: "How are you and Zhao Tiantian now?" Zhou Daqing said: " I went to her house a few years ago, just met on the road, and then we went to the river embankment to play, I asked her how she was studying, she said that she can still keep up now, and said that according to the current grades want to go to college is no play, I persuaded her to study hard, and strive to be admitted to college, she said that in fact, her father must let her go to high school, she wants to go to vocational middle school to learn a technology, find a factory to work, and said that Xu Mei Wang Yan is not very good to go to vocational middle school. ”
