It was already getting cold, and Chu Ying didn't want to leave the warm quilt in the morning, but when she thought that she hadn't collected enough tax money, she could only slap herself, got up and drank some porridge and waited for Han Da at the door.

"The little baby got up early, let's go. I'm going to 3 houses today, and I have to be quick. "Chu Ying's butt hasn't sat down yet, and Han Da has already rushed to the customer's house.

Chu Ying was quite happy to hear that there were 3 families, but after shaving pigs, cleaning, dividing meat, and sorting out the head and hooves, after doing one set, her hands were already a little unconscious from the cold, and she could only stuff them into her clothes to warm up for a while.

"Are your hands cold? There's another one, soon. ”

The first steps of killing the pig are very happy, because the pig has not yet cooled, and the meat inside is still a little warm, and it is not so easy to cut it later.

"Look at your fine skin and tender meat, look at me, the calluses on my hands are so thick, go back and warm your hands, your hands are the lifeblood of the pig killer." Han Da put Chu Ying at the intersection and went home, Chu Ying held the 90 hard-earned money strung together, and walked home slowly.

"You are Chu Ying?" Before Chu Ying got home, she saw a handsome girl standing on the side of the road waiting for her.

"Yes, is there something wrong with this sister?" Bai Yuhe crossed her hands on her waist, and a pair of apricot eyes stared straight at Chu Ying, but she was a small hairy girl, the milk smell had not dried, and there was a pig smell on her body, I don't know why Brother Wang was so good to her.

"You stay away from Wang Jiyuan in the future, be careful." Before Chu Ying could figure it out, the girl left in a huff, and Chu Ying continued to walk home.

Chu Ying took off her autumn clothes outside, hung them outside the house, patted the dust on her body, walked into the house barefoot, looked back at the hemp shoes that had broken two holes, and felt good.

As an 8-year-old child, where does he have time to care about his children's affection, even if he lives in this body is a soul that is almost 30 years old, but he only thinks about how to keep himself warm, fed, bathed, and meaty, it seems that he will stay away from Wang Jiyuan in the future.

"Chu Ying, my mother, let me ask you if you still want to make fish catfish, now is the time to make fish fish in winter."

"Don't bother Aunt Wang, I've learned. Thank you, Brother Wang. Wang Qiyuan didn't know what was wrong with Chu Ying today, and she didn't come out, and her tone was very cold, maybe she was tired of killing pigs.

Although Wang Qiyuan didn't want Chu Ying to go very much, but Chu Ying's temperament was hard, how could others stop what she wanted to do, Wang Qiyuan looked at Chu Ying's hemp shoes at the door had broken two holes, Chu Ying was when she was long, the shoes were estimated to be small, Wang Qiyuan squatted down and measured the size with his hands.

"Okay, I'll go first." Chu Ying waited for Wang Qiyuan to walk away and there was no movement before opening the door, and carefully confirmed that there was indeed no one, so he put on his shoes, put on his backpack, and hurried to the lake, he was busy in the past few days, farming, picking chestnuts, killing pigs, and forgetting that there were still traps in the lake.

Chu Ying looked at the trap by the lake and didn't seem to have any movement, which was relieved that there was no harm to those fish, but when she pulled the trap up, there were 3 big fish inside, and they didn't move much, but Chu Ying still jumped when she poked it.

It is estimated that it was cold and hid at the bottom of the trap, and it was also difficult for these fish, and Chu Ying also caught a lot of other traps, Chu Ying knocked out 8 big fish, wore the gills with a rope, and strung the fish together and put them in the back basket.

The traps that were pulled up were also pulled to the edge of the grass, and no longer put them in the lake, because the fish were not very frequent in the cold weather, and they were all staying at the bottom of the lake, and secondly, they didn't want to go out in the cold weather, so they couldn't keep these traps to trap the fish and not come to take them away, so they stayed here to live and suffer.

When she arrived at the lake, Chu Ying picked some cattail roots by the way until the back basket was full.

These days, Chu Ying eats rice every day, and her body has increased a lot, and she can carry more things, but she is not greedy enough to swallow elephants, and Chu Ying, who can't carry the basket, can only tie the cattail roots together with a rope, and then carry the remaining cattail roots in her hands when the basket is backed.

When Chu Ying walked past other people's houses, she saw three or five women standing together pointing at herself, Chu Ying looked at the clothes that were not very dirty, and the hair that was smoothed with her fingers as much as possible, it should not be so different.

With her mouth on someone else's face, Chu Ying could only speed up her pace and hurry home. When she got home, Chu Ying quickly washed the fish, 2 of them were used to make fish dumplings, 6 were used to make dried fish, and the only clay pot was occupied, and she had to buy a few more next time she went to the city.

Chu Ying cut off the tail of the fish that made the fish browder, and so on to make fish soup, and rice was used to make the fish brow, Chu Ying first marinated the fish to make dried fish. After all the busyness was over, it was already dark, Chu Ying picked out the chestnuts in the fire with a wooden stick, blew them and ate them, and drank some fish soup to warm their stomachs.

Chu Ying added water to the ground with the soil dug from the outside, kneaded it into a soil ball, and then added a little water to make the soil mass more viscous, moved the stone that had been passed yesterday to the wall by the window, first piled a square circle of mud on the ground, and then put the stone on it, and then put mud on the stone, because the mud was still a little wet, Chu Ying only built two layers first, and smeared the mud on the outside of the stone, trying to make it smooth, and had to wait for the next day to dry almost and then add a few layers on it.

The next day, Han Da said that there were 3, but after Chu Ying and the others went, the patron was embarrassed and sent them away. "Chu Ying, it's okay, we still have a few more."

The same is true for the latter family, but fortunately, the last one did not send them away, Chu Ying rolled up her sleeves, aimed at the target, and took the fat and fat pig by surprise, grabbed the pig's ears, grabbed the tail, and took advantage of the moment when the pig howled, where the pig's throat protruded, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and suddenly the blood was like a pillar in the big basin prepared by the patron in advance and sprinkled with onions, ginger and garlic.

When the blood ran out, the main lady also washed the intestines and poured pig blood into it to tie the knot. Since there is no next home today, Han Daben will sit here for a while.

"Yongsheng, kill yourself when you have a good hand, your little doll is not good, you also know that the New Year is about to be celebrated, she is so hard, many people who originally planned to look for you have gone to find others."

Chu Ying ate the freshly baked blood sausage, and although she heard their whispered conversation, she continued to eat. "Auntie, your craftsmanship is really good." Chu Ying clipped another piece.

"Well, I've got my own measure." Chu Ying couldn't say anything, Han Da was injured in his hand now, how could he abandon him, but if Han Da proposed to let him go, he would definitely not twist.

The next day was still the same bleak, but on the way back, Han Da did not approach the road, but went around to the crowded valley. Everyone is tired from doing farm work, or has nothing to do at home, and they will come here to chatter.

Han Da deliberately slowed down the ox cart and slowly drove through the valley.

"It's that child, father and mother, and now he is still killing pigs, how unlucky. Can't you invite Han Da to come to your house to kill pigs? "

"Yes, yes, it's almost the New Year, who wants to cause this trouble."

"Don't talk nonsense, that little baby is diligent in killing pigs, and the work is meticulous, then his father killed the bandits, and her mother begged the Bodhisattva to fall, don't chew the root of your tongue like this."

Chu Ying looked at the fat doll who had killed pigs in the Li family before, estimated to be in her teens, and seemed to be confronting them with her hands on her hips.

"That's right, it's this kid, Father and Mother, what's wrong? What else do you want to say? Chu Ying was frightened by Han Da's flat roar.

"It's nothing, Han Da, it's nothing." A few ladies who were still talking with interest just now turned their backs and covered their faces with their hands.

"She is hard-lived, and if she dies hard, what should the mother cry for her to beg God to die?" Han Da shook off Chu Ying and took his little hand, got out of the car and walked over them.

"You are also mothers and fathers, if you leave one day, what will it feel like watching your children being said like this?" Han Da was wide and fat, and he was also a pig killer, and he walked with majesty, and everyone stopped speaking at once.

"What were your kids doing when they were 8 years old? Crying dad and calling mother, she is a little girl, she has no other ability, she will use a knife, kill a pig will be poked in the back by you in the back, you see, look at the chilblains on this child's hands. Before Chu Ying could react, she was pulled out of the car by Han Dayi.

"Your baby is still dreaming in the bed, she has gotten up to kill pigs in this winter, she can't eat enough, she can't dress warmly, how easy it is to die, just wipe the knife. People rely on themselves to transfer so much money, are you trying to force her to death? "

Chu Ying didn't feel how bitter it was to be free, but when Han Da said this, tears fell uncontrollably.
