Chapter 188: Selling Pigs
At noon, I ate with my uncle and grandmother's house, added a dozen catties of Chinese cabbage to the mutton soup, and asked for two catties of tofu at the "big one" house, plus vermicelli, stewed a big pot of mutton soup, and steamed two pots of flower rolls. Except for a few children, it is basically two bowls per person and a pot of mutton soup to drink.
After the meal, the uncle left to aid the court, and he still had two villages that he had not reached, and he had to report the situation in the evening. Everyone sat together and talked, and grandpa made a pot of tea.
My uncle and grandmother took a sip of tea and said with satisfaction: "This day of eating and drinking without worrying is passing quickly, a year is passing imperceptibly, and it will be the winter solstice soon." ”
Grandma calculated, "Isn't it, the winter solstice will be on the twentieth." He turned his head to discuss with his uncle and grandfather: "Brother, kill your pig on the winter solstice, and I will sell it to you." ”
Uncle and grandfather took it, "Xiuqin, let's kill your own two heads first, they all have to be more than 200 catties." ”
Grandma shook her head: "My family has to sell one, the stationmaster stares at it, and leaves one to kill during the New Year." ”
My uncle and grandfather thought about it for a while: "My family also has to be sold to the food station, love the country, and kill your family." ”
Grandma persuaded him: "Brother, you have already sold one, just block a task, we still have more than ten fat pigs in the team, and they all have to be sold to the food station by the end of the year, even if they don't pay it, they can also exceed the task." ”
The uncle said: "Aunt, I couldn't feed it in the first year, but if I feed alfalfa this year, I can grow to 200 catties in half a year." I've seen it specifically, and alfalfa grass is in our depression, which is really strange. ”
"The luck of our village this year is good, but it is also in the people, the stone temple is the same as our village, it is much worse than ours. It's not that we boast about it, but you guys are famous this year, and the nearby villages are convinced. Grandma said proudly.
Uncle and grandfather said to her: "What are you talking nonsense, you said to kill pigs, you went to pull that." Sister, it's cold in the future, and it's not convenient to go out, so you should go out less, and we won't sell this pork. ”
Grandma had already made a plan with Youyou, and she told her plan.
"In winter, there is no work in the village, so I asked Aiguo to use a tractor to help me deliver pork to the city, and I found someone to buy a barrel of diesel.
I collect one dollar and one pound in the village, and one piece is sold, and a pig earns at least fifteen yuan.
The family in our village has three or four pigs, and I sold them all a year ago, and the family has an extra income of a few hundred yuan. The whole village has to have 20,000 yuan for one piece, and our own family can earn 2,000 yuan.
If you rely on Zhang Ji and Puddle Ji alone, you can't sell it. Besides, if there is more pork, it will not be cheaper. ”
Uncle and grandfather listened to grandma's words and felt very good: "Okay, since you have a way, our pig family will keep one for the New Year, and the rest will be killed." ”
Grandma disagreed, "Don't stay, let's kill them all, my family's end is enough for our family to celebrate the New Year." Besides, you see my four little pigs, and they have grown into half-sized pigs again. ”
The eldest aunt hurriedly said: "Aunt, if you want to stay, my family will stay, I will be a junior, and I should honor you during the New Year." ”
My uncle and grandmother made a decision: "Just stay and love the country, we will all kill them, and let them fulfill their filial piety during the New Year." ”
Uncle and grandma discussed: "Since you have decided, I will find a few families to sum up, let's try first." ”
Grandma said: "On the sixteenth episode, I went to Zhangji to hand over the pigs, and we started killing the pigs at the seventeenth, killing ten heads a day." When the time comes, you will arrange the killing at home, and I will take out the food in the city. By the way, let's go to Pingcheng to sell, there are many factories there. ”
After listening to their words, you really admire your grandmother, she is an old man who thinks about things comprehensively. The courtyard of Hongcheng has waste products collected by Luo Xincai, and there are outsiders to live, so it is convenient to Pingcheng.
The snow on the roof began to melt and drip down the eaves, and then it froze, and a skate was hanging under the eaves.
Zhiyuan led a few children and hit them down with a pole. The uncle saw it and came out to scold him: "Why don't you grow up and have eyes, you can prick blood when you hit your face, and play while playing." ”
Then he shouted: "Wei Hua, let's go to the roof and sweep the snow down." ”
When Dad heard the shouting, he hurried out, and together with his patriotic uncle, he swept all the snow off the roof, and Mom and Aunt went out.
Although the weather was cold, people from Shimiao Village came several times. In winter, people have nothing to do, running around to play, and it is warmer to be active. They go to the consignment point to have a look, and then go to the strip knitting processing point to have a look.
There are many people who buy a lot of things, and Yoyo helps grandma hand over things to settle accounts. Didi and Gou Yu went to build snowmen again, and the foundation of the second master's house was full of snowmen, which became a snow field for children to play.
Dad was also busy enough this day, and he only went to the clinic three times. Fortunately, his grandmother bought him a bicycle, and the snow on the road was swept away. The people who came to see the elderly were sick, the temperature dropped so badly that the body couldn't adapt to it, and the root of the old disease recurred.
There are also several waves of sick children, who are carried by adults. Yoyo feels old, weak, sick and disabled, and that's probably the case.
Grandma also said: "Every winter, there are old people who can't survive and have to go a lot." ”
Hao Hao didn't understand, and asked, "Grandma, where are they going?"
Yoyo showed himself and hurriedly said, "I'm going to heaven." ”
Didi cried out, "I know that they are free, and they are going to heaven to be happy, and they will no longer have to suffer." ”
Grandma said: "Whether it is happiness or sin, who has seen it, it is just people's thoughts." ”
In winter, when it gets dark early, the family has dinner, and before six o'clock in the afternoon, the cat arrives on the kang. Grandma put everyone's boots on the kang to dry, and they dried tomorrow morning, and they were hot, and they were very comfortable to wear.
Mom and grandma make handmade shoes, and dad follows grandpa to learn how to weave. Yoyo teaches Didi to learn to read and write. There are no fairy tale books, Haohao and they will read 100,000 whys, and they don't know many words in them, so they ask Youyou from time to time. There are many times, and it has attracted the attention of my parents.
Mom watched it a few times and found that the pronunciation of Yoyo was very accurate, and it was all standard Mandarin pronunciation. He said, "Haohao, give the book to Youyou, let her read one, and mother listen." ”
I was stunned for a moment, there was a problem here again. Suspiciously, she took Hao Hao's book, looked up after reading, and saw that everyone was looking at her.
Puzzled, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhiyuan spoke first: "Yoyo, you are so good, the same as what my aunt reads." ”
Hearing this, Yoyo understood a little that he unconsciously used Mandarin. Hey, there are pits everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will fall into them.
hurriedly made an excuse: "That's, I'm my mother's daughter, of course, like my mother, the principal is not as good as my mother." ”
My parents grew up in Kyoto since they were children, and they are fluent in Beijing films, even after living in Hantun for ten years, they still haven't changed.
