When the time comes to the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the land of Northeast China has truly entered the cold winter, the sky and the earth are all snow-white, the river is frozen, the earth is sleeping, and everything seems to have entered a dormant period. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even the chickens, ducks and geese at home seem to have stopped growing.

Since you don't rise, then get ready to get out of the pot, so whenever the weather in the Northeast turns cold, every household begins to kill chickens and pigs. At this time, the whole world is a natural refrigerator, kill good chickens, ducks and pork, find a clean vat, put clean snow in it, it will not be broken for a few months in winter, and it is very convenient to pick out a piece at any time when eating.

Ma Xiaodong's family did not raise pigs this year, but due to the better living conditions, Ma Hongguo decided to buy a pig and two sheep as a reserve of food for winter.

Today is the day when Ma Xiaodong's family kills pigs, and Ma Xiaodong's uncle and eldest brother and a few uncles came over to help kill pigs in the northeast countryside, which is a more lively thing. And it depends on the day, choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, before you can start the knife.

And after the pig is killed, you have to invite the usual neighbors, relatives and friends, to eat together, this is a custom, but also a favor, every family has to do this, of course, you can also close the door and no one will eat, but if that is the case, then this family is estimated that no one will deal with.

Let's first grab and tie up the big fat pig that we bought a few days ago, and lift it to a kang table, the table in the northeast is divided into a kang table and a ground table, the kang table is relatively short, as the name suggests, it is used on the kang.

Maybe this big fat pig also knew that today was his end, so the cry was particularly miserable and harsh, and the whole village could hear it clearly from afar.

Ma Xiaodong looked at the miserable screaming and struggling big fat pig, he felt a little unbearable, and he didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, he ate and slept all day long, slept and ate, harmless to people and animals, and didn't want to suffer today, Ma Xiaodong, who couldn't bear it, decided not to watch the pig killing, and when the pig was killed, he would come back when he ate meat.

I prayed silently for the big fat pig in my heart, hoping that it would have a good birth in the next life. Ma Xiaodong went out of his yard, and Su Honglin's house next door has moved away, and now the house is Ma Xiaodong's house, although their house is much better than Ma Xiaodong's, but they have decided to build a house next year, so they have not moved again.

"Little brother, where did you kill pigs, why did you come out?" As soon as he got out of the gate, he met Yang Hailong and Yang Haidong, two bastard boys, who seemed to be planning to see the excitement.

Can Ma Xiaodong say that he doesn't dare to watch it? How embarrassing is that? "Well, I'm going to go to the commissary to buy something to eat, you two go and go and kill the pig."

The two boys hesitated when they heard this, on the one hand, they wanted to go to see the pig killing, and on the other hand, they also wanted to follow Ma Xiaodong, maybe they could mix something delicious, but after hesitating for less than 3 seconds, they still decided to go with Ma Xiaodong, after all, there is nothing to see in killing pigs, and if you miss eating, you will miss it once.

Ma Xiaodong led his two cousins to buy something at the commissary and walked back until the screams of the big fat pig stopped completely, and then returned home.

In the house, the mother and the aunt and a few aunts are cutting vegetables, cutting the sauerkraut into thin strips, throwing them into a big iron pot, putting pork, stick bones, and blood sausage stewed together, which is a characteristic 'pig killing dish' in the Northeast.

A group of people worked all morning, ready to eat, Ma Xiaodong's work also came, that is, to invite people to their homes for dinner, some politely refused, you have to invite twice.

After running several times, the people who should be invited have arrived, and Ma Xiaodong can finally eat his own pork. In these years, there is no feed feeding, it is all grain or wild vegetables, and the taste of pork is strong and fragrant, which makes people eat with a fatty fragrance.

Although it is very fragrant, Ma Xiaodong can't eat much of this kind of pork, after all, he usually eats a lot of meat, and now he eats some of it! lived.

After lunch, Ma Xiaodong answered a phone call, and went out mysteriously with something, ten minutes later, Ma Xiaodong came to the old local forestry station where he dated the little girl, took out the key in his pocket, and opened the door of the forestry station.

Originally, this abandoned forestry station had no locks, and there was nothing in it that anyone could steal, so there was no need to lock it. Now Ma Xiaodong bought a lock by himself and cleaned up the house as a place to date the little girl in winter. After all, in the winter, the two of them can't freeze in the howling north wind.

After entering the house, Ma Xiaodong lit the stove first to warm up the house, and the little girl could warm her hands after a while. lit the stove, Ma Xiaodong went out again, ready to greet the little girl, a few miles of mountain roads, Ma Xiaodong was worried that she was afraid, every time the two went on a date, he would pick her up.

The snow on the road has been stepped on by the vehicles and pedestrians back and forth, walking on the top of the creaking sound, walking for a few minutes, Ma Xiaodong saw a red figure from a distance, hurriedly walked two steps, and walked forward.

Looking at the little girl's red face, Ma Xiaodong couldn't help but blame: "Why don't you bring a hat or something?" How cold is it to come out like this? As he spoke, he took off his green Lei Feng hat and put it on the little girl's head.

The little girl pouted in disgust, "It's ugly." Although he said that, he didn't take it down, I don't know if it was because it was too cold, but he was still unwilling to refuse Ma Xiaodong's concern.

Ma Xiaodong said with a smile: "You still pick and choose, when you freeze your ears, then it's called ugly." "took out the trick that my mother had scared herself since she was a child, and used it on the little girl's body.

"Can your ears freeze off?"

Ma Xiaodong said matter-of-factly: "Of course you can, after being outside for a long time, your ears will be numb and stiff, and you will fall off if you touch it lightly, and people will not be aware of it." ”

When the little girl heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly touched her ears, fortunately, although it was a little cold, but it was soft, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Ma Xiaodong looked at it and snickered, "You know you're scared this time, right?" Don't forget to bring your hat when you go out in the future, you know? ”

"Oh~" The little girl nodded a little reluctantly, although she also wanted to bring a hat, but there was no suitable one for her at home, she couldn't be a girl, bring a Lei Feng hat or a dogskin hat to go out, right?

Holding the little girl's hand, the two came to the forestry station, as soon as they entered the house, the warm heat suddenly rushed to their faces, and the little girl said with a smile: "Wow, it's so warm, did you make it?" ”

Ma Xiaodong nodded, "Well, of course, the conditions are more humble now, and after the New Year, I will buy a car, and when the time comes, I will drive you to the town, to the county seat, to the city, we will never come here again for a date, do you say?" ”
