As the days entered August, a gust of rain took away the last trace of heat, and the weather began to really cool down, and the Liu family planned to kill the pig tomorrow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This year, Liu's pigs are better than in previous years, usually until the end of August or mid-September to grow such a big pig, to this year has just entered August not long after the slaughter.

As in previous years, the Liu family still raised two pigs, they still don't know that one of them is about to come to a catastrophe, this meal is basically a severed head meal, in Liu Auntie carried the pig food to the edge of the pig pen, while knocking on the pig pen with a stick to stir pig food while making a strange 'hello ......' sound, the two pigs heard the sound that meant there was food, happily shaking their fat butts and hugging together, waiting for a hearty dinner, Ah Miao silently thought that if they knew that this would be the last meal, what would it be like.

Aunt Liu fed the pigs and returned to the hall, Liu Xiucai has been in poor health recently and has fallen asleep early, Liu Jizong is sitting on the bench and smoking dry tobacco, Liu Zhengwen is pestering Liu Zhengxing to whisper, Liu sister-in-law is cleaning up the pot that has just finished cooking pig food in the kitchen, and the little fat man is squatting alone to play with stones, he has just lost to Ah Miao again, so Ah Miao went out to breathe, and he then studied how to make the stones not fall off the back of his hand.

Throwing stones is also a game that Miao taught him, props only need seven or four about the same size, the shape is close to the round pebbles, this game turned out to be just a Miao bored, the game of picking sticks has been tired of playing after a sudden thought, and then was once seen by Liu Zhengwen, it didn't take long for the school in Liujia Village to start popular this game, the craziest period of time, everyone can turn out a few stones in their book bags, and when it comes to recess, someone takes out the stones and fights with people for 300 rounds, Chai Fuzi didn't receive more than ten or even twenty or thirty stones from the students' hands every day, and if he didn't do it again, he would probably be able to build the road, Ah Miao, the initiator, thought to himself.

"In charge, our piglets this year are still caught at Wang Laoer's house?" Aunt Liu went back to the kitchen and handed the pig food bucket to Sister-in-law Liu for cleaning, lifted the curtain of the kitchen and came out to ask.

"I want to think about it." Liu Jizong finished smoking a tube of cigarettes, squinting his eyes and thinking while knocking out the tobacco in the pipe.

"It was caught by Lao Fu Ah Gong." Before Liu Jizong could think of it, Liu Zhengxing immediately said.

"Yes, yes, it was caught by Uncle Fu, didn't you dislike the pork smell after the pig of Wang Er's house was slaughtered last year, I didn't go to Wang Er's at the beginning of this year, I went directly to Uncle Fu's side, fortunately I told Uncle Lao Fu in advance, otherwise I can't catch it, I went early this year, Uncle Fu's house has no piglets left, and Uncle Fu's piglets are all in demand." Liu Jizong was reminded by Liu Zhengxing, and finally remembered where he caught it.

The Liu family was a little late to catch piglets last year, only heard that Wang Lao'er family still had a few left at home and did not sell them, Liu Jizong looked for the past to buy when the piglets were only fifty or sixty pounds, but Wang Lao's two piglets had to offer a price of one or two halves of silver, usually such two piglets at most one or two silver and then give one or two hundred big money, Wang Lao Ersheng asked for more than three hundred dollars, but at that time, the village did not hear of anyone with piglets left, Liu Jizong gritted his teeth and bought it, he couldn't help but buy it, Otherwise, at the end of the year, every household will kill pigs, and they don't have a pig in their own house, so what will they eat for the New Year? What is the New Year's Eve for hospitality?

Aunt Liu worked hard to raise a pig for a year, killed one in September last year, but when she ate it, she felt that the pork had a taste, I couldn't tell what it was, I just felt that it didn't smell good, there was no way, Liu Jizong could only sell the remaining pork to the pork dealer, and the other pig was sold soon after, so when Ah Miao first came last year, the pigsty of the Liu family was empty, and he didn't catch up with the grand occasion of killing pigs.

So at the beginning of this year, Liu Jizong went to find Uncle Lao Fu and asked him to leave two piglets at that time, these two piglets are much more worry-free than the two last year, they can eat and sleep, and Aunt Liu is happy when she looks at the fat on the pig.

"You've told Butcher Zhang, right? Come to our house tomorrow? Aunt Liu reconfirmed uneasily.

"Okay, you've asked this eight hundred times, I told Zhang Butcher early yesterday morning, Zhang Butcher said that our family is the first family in the village to kill pigs this year, he has been relatively empty recently, and said that he will come over tomorrow morning." Liu Jizong saw that Aunt Liu was asking again, and replied angrily.

"Are you embarrassed to lose your temper at me? Who told me the year before last that he had already told Zhang Butcher that he had agreed? I got up early in the morning with my eldest daughter-in-law and talked about the two large pots of hot water, and I didn't even see a figure, so you told me that you forgot to tell Zhang Butcher? Listening to Liu Jizong's impatient tone, Aunt Liu suddenly became angry, if it weren't for Liu Jizong's unreliability, she would have asked so many times.

As soon as Aunt Liu said this, Liu Jizong really shut up, Ah Miao smiled secretly, her father really couldn't fight her mother, after all, her father's black history is too much, and she can say a lot of things casually, Aunt Liu is a person with a good memory, every time the two people have a little disagreement or conflict, Liu Jizong bows his head first, without him, there are too many handles.

"Wait tomorrow to see how this year's pork is, if it's good, let's buy it from Uncle Fu this year." Seeing that Liu Jizong no longer spoke, Aunt Liu took her loud voice, and then said to Liu Jizong.

"I know, if this pig is good, I'll talk to Uncle Fu in two days."

"You have to be early, or you'll be robbed." Uncle Fu's pigs are always the first to sell out.

Early the next morning, Aunt Liu got up, and Sister-in-law Liu still boiled two large pots of hot water, the family had not eaten breakfast Zhang Butcher arrived, and brought his son Little Butcher to fight, Zhang Butcher's son was twelve years old, but he looked as strong as Zhang Butcher, at least a circle older than his peer Wu Shihong, Liu Zhengwen stood beside him like a child.

"Dazhi, come so early? Have you eaten it? Didn't eat some together? Sister-in-law Liu put the hot bun on the table, walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened the door for Butcher Zhang, and asked Butcher Zhang after helping Butcher Zhang push the cart to the yard and park it.

"Sister-in-law, I've eaten at home, you don't care about me first, I still have to unload my things." Zhang Butcher is very strong, this is Ah Miao's first impression of him, it should be regarded as the tallest man Ah Miao has seen after coming to this world, it looks like a little bit of a meter nine, looks like an iron tower, his face is very fierce and lovely, he kills a pig and charges a hundred big money, if the pig goes into the water and doesn't let him take it away, he can charge ten big bucks less, the charge is fair in the whole Wanning Town, and the most important thing is that his skill in killing pigs is very high, not only the people of Liujia Village love to find him to kill pigs, There are often people from other villages who have to wait for Zhang butchers to kill, killing pigs is a technical job, if you don't grasp the rhythm, the pork will taste a little bitter.

Zhang Butcher thanked Aunt Liu for the invitation, and planned to ask his son to help take down the guy on the cart, and when he looked back, his son was already staring at the door of the Liu family, obviously wanting to go in and eat some more, Zhang Butcher went down with a slap, "Stinky boy, haven't you just eaten." ”

Zhang Qi was staggered by his father's slap, turned around and said aggrievedly: "I haven't eaten enough, so my mother urged me to come out." "Twelve or thirteen years old is the time to eat, Zhang Butcher is in a hurry, Zhang Qi was urged by his mother to eat breakfast, and before he was full, he was urged out by his mother, I didn't see the buns It's okay, and now I see the Liu family's excellent looking big and full buns, and my stomach begins to rumble again.

"Big brother, why are you beating the child when he's hungry, swineherd, wait, my aunt will bring you buns." Swineherd is Zhang Qi's nickname, because his father not only helped others kill pigs, but also rented a stall in the town to sell pork, so he got such a title since he was a child. After a while, Aunt Liu came out with three big buns, and stuffed them to Zhang Qi with a grunt, Zhang Qi was immediately happy when he saw so many buns taken out by Aunt Liu, and chewed the buns after taking them.

"Alas, sister-in-law, this is really," Zhang Butcher looked at his son's hard work, sighed, after all, he felt sorry for his son, "Stinky boy, eat quickly." ”

"Do you want to sit in the house?" Aunt Liu asked.

"No, I'll have to prepare the guy who eats when the stinky boy finishes eating, sister-in-law, is the hot water boiling?"

"It's burned, I know you came early, and I will burn it in the morning, two large pots, if it is not enough, it will be burned again."

"The two cauldrons are similar, there may be some shortcomings, and when the time comes, one pot will run out and then another pot will be burned." Zhang Butcher pondered for a moment and said to Aunt Liu. When the butcher goes to someone's house to help kill the pig, the guy will bring everything, such as large and small buckets and wooden basins, wooden tables for killing pigs and cutting pork, and all kinds of pig-killing knives, hooks for hanging pork, etc., while the pig-raising family's home needs to ensure a continuous supply of hot water energy.

"Sister-in-law, leave me alone, go back and eat, you can get strength in a while." Zhang Butcher urged Aunt Liu to go back.

"Nacheng, I'll go back and eat first, you take your time." Aunt Liu is not polite to Zhang Butcher, after all, she lives in a village, and she doesn't see anyone who looks up when she looks down, and she doesn't see it so much.

"Hey, yes." After Aunt Liu left, Zhang butcher walked to the front of the pigsty of the Liu family to observe the two pigs, and was startled at a glance, obediently, no wonder Brother Liu said that the pigs in the family could be killed so early this year, and the Liu family earned this pig this year.

After the family finished breakfast, Liu Jizong and Liu Zhengxing changed their working shirts and went out to help, and Liu's sister-in-law took Ah Miao and the little fat man and Liu Zhengwen to hide in the house, children can't see that killing pigs is a rule, and when the pig dies, you can see how the butcher divides the pork, but you must not run out to see how the butcher kills the pig, Ah Miao doesn't know why there is such a rule, maybe the scene of killing the pig is too bloody, I'm afraid that the child has a psychological shadow?

Liu Zhengwen was also named by Aunt Liu and left with a very strange expression, at this embarrassing age, he already feels that he is an adult, but in the eyes of real adults, he is still a child, Ah Miao hates that he doesn't have a camera now, otherwise he will take a picture of this expression, and when he is in a bad mood, he will be able to turn yin into love immediately.
