"No, let's all go play, put on the outside clothes and go out. ”

Several children cheered, scooped up their cotton clothes and ran, wearing them as they ran, and Zhigao shouted loudly behind him: "Don't forget to give me a box and drop a cannon." ”

Youyou looked at him, these are all people in the third year of junior high school, a big man of 1.8 meters, just playing with his heart, and playing with a child like a child, it's really sad.

The pork belly was cooked, and it was all cut into dices, and the five catties of meat were cut into a lot, and all of them were finished, Didi threw his arm and sighed with emotion: "Uncle and Grandma, this work is more tiring than carrying pigweed." ”

Probably the most tiring thing in Didi's farm work is the alfalfa grass on his back. In fact, the most he carries pigweed on his back is loading and unloading trucks, and he uses bicycles and tractors on the road, and rarely uses ground row vehicles.

Zhigao took off his apron and hurriedly ran out, urging anxiously: "Didi, hurry up." ”

Yoyo was the last to go out, and when I went to the street, the children of the village gathered in the village square, and the competition was to see who fell, and the boys fell hard, and the girls covered their ears as judges.

It seems that firecrackers are a boy's favorite at all times. However, there are not many children like Hantun Village who can play with guns as they want.

Not to mention the past, even now adults are reluctant, a box of twenty cannons, a dime a box, can be broken in ten minutes.

However, every year when adults buy firecrackers, they will bring two boxes of crackers and go home to share them with the children. When the children are like treasures and put them in their pockets, they are willing to fall on one of them.

People in the village are willing to give their children pocket money, and any child has a piece of octagonal money in his pocket, and he can buy a falling cannon by himself, so the fall is particularly casual.

The children have a lot of pocket money, not because Hantun has a high income, and parents spoil their children excessively. But because the children of Hantun are obedient and study well, although they are ranked first and second in the class, they can be ranked high in the town and the county, and there are several children from Hantun in the top ten every time.

In addition, the children of Hantun Village can earn money, and the domestic animals in the family are all managed by the children, and each family has two pigs a year, almost all of which are 20 pigs. The price of alfalfa pigs is high this year, and more than 300 are sold for one head. Not counting chickens and sheep, the annual income from just feeding pigs is more than 6,000 yuan.

Now there are very few families to feed the ducks, the key is that the ducks are too smelly, the family can not feed, the area of the village forest outside has decreased, after the village is rebuilt, the village forest has not been divided to each family, all belong to the village.

There is no place to build a duck shed outside, and people are reluctant to feed them at home, so if they want to eat salted duck eggs and goose eggs, they go to the canteen to buy them.

The farm in the village has been raising ducks and geese since the flood in 82 years, and the duck shed is on the edge of the pond pit, in addition to cleaning the duck shed, sprinkling some alfalfa grass, the biggest job is to pick up duck eggs and goose eggs.

Hantun's duck eggs and goose eggs are pickled into salted eggs, with a lot of yellow oil, and they taste extraordinarily fragrant. Those who came to Hantun from other places to pull goods, and bought Hantun's salted duck eggs and goose eggs by name, which has always been in short supply.

Since this year, the livestock products of Hantun Village have been labeled as alfalfa, pigs are alfalfa pigs, sheep are alfalfa sheep, chickens and ducks are also alfalfa, and even eggs and duck eggs are called alfalfa eggs.

With the label alfalfa, the price has doubled.

The guest houses in each county basically come every other day to buy Hantun's agricultural products, and the price of eggs is fried by them.

Each family in Hantun fed more than a dozen chickens in the bamboo bushes in the backyard, except for a little surplus of eggs from their own food, which was just enough to supply these guest houses.

If you want to eat the chickens raised in Hantun Village, it is basically difficult, and there are only about ten chickens in each family, which is not enough for your own food. Even the canteen of Hantun Village, when eating chicken, I go to Shimiao Village to buy it.

This person is also strange, Shimiao and Hantun feed livestock are alfalfa grass, but people only recognize the livestock in Hantun Village, except for pigs in Shimiao Village, other domestic animals cannot be sold.

Moreover, the pigs in Shimiao Village also have to rely on Hantun to sell at a high price, and their village slaughtered it itself and sold it out, that is, it sells faster than ordinary pork, if you want to sell it at a high price, there is no door.

This is the benefit of the brand, but how can people understand these now, they just think it is strange, it is obviously the same pig, why does it have to be Han Tun to sell it at a high price.

After dinner, the children who had done housework for a day were really tired, and they went to bed before eight o'clock.

My aunt and uncle took out the dough pieces for making rice cakes, rolled them into a finger thick dough cake, and dried the three thick cakes separately, so that they could fry the rice cakes tomorrow morning.

Aunt Hongying made the leaven of two large bucket basins, ready to be used tomorrow and the dough. Each bucket can hold 30 catties of flour, in the past, adults prepared New Year's goods, and you didn't know that this family had to prepare so much food.

Calculate carefully, the whole family is a piece of old and young, a total of twenty-nine people, the youngest Zhili is also four years old, except for Youyou's grandfather who is in his seventies, the other old people are less than sixty, and they are still half of the labor force.

During this year's Spring Festival, Zhibin's grandfather and grandmother came to the house for the New Year, plus Wu Xin'er and David, the family population is 33 people.

The whole family is tall and strong, and the amount of food is large, Zhixin and Zhiping are just eight years old, and the amount of food can catch up with ordinary adults, and they have at least one and a half catties of rations a day.

This family can only get together during the Spring Festival, and if they are usually at home, they have to cook specially.

It's no wonder that my uncle and grandmother treat these big buckets as treasures every time they move, and keep them well.

On the morning of the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, before Youyou got up, Zhiping came over with rice cakes. She shouted happily: "Sister Yoyo, get up quickly, there will be no rice cakes when it's late, it's so sweet." ”

In the bowl brought by Zhiping, the rice cakes cut into diamond shapes were fried in oil until they were golden brown on both sides, and they had a sweet taste. The saliva of Yoyo was immediately greedy, and his appetite was greatly boosted, and he couldn't care about the bed, so he got up quickly and grabbed the food.

Today is the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and the village organizes personnel to dig lotus root and fish, and the New Year's goods ordered by various government agencies and units will be supplied from tomorrow.

This year, due to Yamamoto's purchase of a large number of lotus roots, the price of lotus roots has been rising throughout the winter, not less than five cents, and close to the Spring Festival, it has risen to eight cents a catty.

In order to celebrate the Spring Festival, Hantun Village deliberately left 20 acres of lotus roots, and booked them out as soon as they entered the lunar month.

After breakfast, the children in the village came to call Didi and they went to Tangzikeng to play, Zhixin ran to the gate of the courtyard and retreated.

"I still have to help my grandmother with the work, and I'll go back when I'm done. ”

My aunt and uncle said to them, "Let's go play first, and I'll call you when the noodles are ready." ”

Several children cheered and ran away with their friends.
