Zhou Jiguo listened to the words of the eldest sister, and opened his mouth into an O-shape very unimaged.

"Eldest sister, can you touch this?" he was a little incredulous.

"What's the fuss, see for yourself if you can figure it out. Zhou Sining simply didn't explain to him, and directly grabbed his hand and touched the sow's belly.

"You light, don't push too hard, if it hurts, be careful that it gets up and bites you. She took his hand and groped around the sow's belly, "Do you feel it, this is a little pig, this is its head, this is its body, this is its legs." ”

Zhou Jiguo carefully felt the touch under his hands, then frowned, followed the eldest sister's hand and touched it, he said with some uncertainty: "I just feel that there is a lump of meat in my hand, why didn't I touch the head and legs you said." "The fat on the sow's belly is very thick, the skin is still loose, and the soft meat is a handful when you grab it, and the prickly feeling of the pig hair, and the rest is really not touched.

Zhou Sining listened to his words, snapped, and threw his hand away, thinking that this person was capable, but it turned out to be the same as Fu Lei's guy, it was really in vain for her effort.

"You're like your brother-in-law, you can't carve rotten wood. She bowed her head and went about herself, "It's okay for you to stay in the house, don't disturb my work." ”

So Zhou Jiguo, the rotten wood gray, went back to the house.

At noon, the three people at the dinner table discussed and set the day of killing pigs on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month.

"It's not enough to kill the pigs, we can't just kill the two of us, we have to find two more people to come and help. Zhou Jiguo summed it up.

The pig that was going to be killed was about to cost 200 catties, and the two of them might not be able to catch it by then, so they still had to ask a few people to come over to help.

"That's not good, didn't you say that it's not appropriate for our pigs to grow so fast, if you invite someone, everyone who can't get this thing knows. Fu Lei shook his head and disagreed, according to his idea, just the two of them, he has a lot of strength, and he still doesn't understand when he presses a pig, that's the end.

"Let's not say that this pig is raised by ourselves, let's just say that we are looking at the New Year, and the pigs we bought in the countryside will not be killed when they come back. Zhou Jiguo felt that what the eldest brother-in-law said was not a problem, and if he didn't want people to know, he would hide it, but the two of them really can't kill the pig, don't go down with a knife when the time comes, the pig is not killed, let it run all over the yard with blood, and it will be broken.

He had seen such a thing in his previous life, when he killed the pig, the pig struggled too much, and a few people who pressed its leg did not pay attention, so they let it run, and then the scene was unwatchable, miserable.

He didn't want his clean yard to be stained with pig's blood.

"Well, it's okay to do this, but what if people come and say they want to see our pigs?" Zhou Sining felt that what he said was a solution.

"Look, when the time comes, just lock the door to the backyard, or move the pig to another place, and move it to the yard next to it. Zhou Jiguo came up with another idea.

"You're talking about lightness, that's seven pigs, it's not one or two, it's so easy to move. Fu Lei disagreed.

"Why don't we kill the pig in the courtyard you shared in Dabao?" Zhou Sining proposed.

Several people thought carefully about this question.

"I think it's feasible, and when the time comes, let's just drive the pig over, and then move a pot to the house. Zhou Jiguo thinks it's easier to move a pot than a pig.

"Well, it's still my daughter-in-law who is smart, let's burn the kang in the house in advance when the time comes, and if someone comes to see the excitement, they can also let them go to the house to sit. Fu Lei also nodded in agreement, just spend some firewood, but this is not a big deal.

"Then it's decided, you two discuss who to ask for help, and let's go and say tomorrow, let's kill the pig the day after tomorrow." Zhou Sining made a decision.

If you want to say that killing pigs is a big deal in the farmer's family, it is a big deal in the Fu family now.

In the evening, after Fu Lei and Zhou Jiguo discussed who to invite, early the next morning, Zhou Jiguo went to find someone to tell him about it, and Fu Lei was busy at home.

There must be a bench to kill pigs, the hot water for bald pig hair must be boiled in a pot, and the house has never burned the kang, it is cold and cold, and it must be burned in advance, or these people who help kill pigs can't stand outside all the time.

After a busy day, they were all ready to think of, and early in the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Fu Lei got up and drove the fat pig with a scab on his face to the next door, and tied it to the gate of the courtyard with a rope to prevent it from running around.

When he went home and had breakfast, the four co-workers who had come to help also came.

These four people are usually very good with Fu Lei and Zhou Jiguo, and one of them has a very lively worker named Zhao Qiang, who is still single and usually lives in a collective dormitory with his co-workers.

"Brother Fu, you can do it, as soon as you make a move, it will be a pig. Zhao Qiang exclaimed exaggeratedly.

The current pork is more than seven cents a catty, and if you collect it, it is five cents, and its flower face is almost 200 catties, that is, it costs 100 yuan. For a small worker with a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, 100 yuan is really not a decimal number, and he may not be able to save this money in a year, and even if he has this money in his hand, it is impossible to spend it all to buy a pig to go back.

"Hehe, what's not going to work, isn't this the first year of moving over, I discussed with my brother-in-law that this year should be a good year, please have a good fortune, nothing else, just want to live a smooth life in our family in the future, and there will be pork to eat every year." There are several meanings in his words, including naming this pig I can't afford it myself, but don't I have a brother-in-law, two people earn wages, and it's not impossible to spend 180 yuan to buy a pig.

"Haha, that's a good point, as long as we work hard, we will definitely have pork to eat every year in the future. The one who spoke was the oldest worker invited by Fu Lei, named Wang Yougen, who got married and lived in the first building on the far left of the third row.

He came to bring his daughter-in-law today, and he is helping Zhou Sining boil water.

Sister-in-law Wang is also a person who can speak, and when she saw Zhou Sining, she pulled her to chatter, "We moved late, if there is anything I don't understand in the future, I will come and ask you, you have to take me." ”

Zhou Sining hummed and agreed, thinking that although I moved here a little earlier, she didn't understand many things in this family area. She was patronizing her own home.

On a cold day, everyone stood in the yard and said a few words and then started to work.

Fu Lei took three young and energetic workers to catch pigs, and Zhou Jiguo was preparing with a polished pig-killing knife beside him.

It has been scientifically proved that the IQ of pigs is quite high, so when I saw a few strong men rushing at it viciously, I immediately pulled my neck and howled.

"Quick, Zhao Qiang, let's grab the hind legs. Fu Lei was the first to pounce after shouting.

Several big men ignored the screams of the fat pig and held the pig down in a few clicks.

"Come, I'll count one, two, three, and let's work together to put the pig on the bench. Fu Lei commanded everyone to successfully put the fat pig on the bench.

However, in addition to being extremely tragic, the cry of the pig was also extremely earth-shattering, and in this moment, there were already people standing outside the gate of the Fu family courtyard to watch the excitement.

It is estimated that the people in the family area who have nothing to do have run to the Fu family to watch the excitement come.
