After lying down for three days, Lu Xiaoyi was sore all over, shouting that she was cured, but Yulan still didn't allow her to go off the kang until the last pair of medicine residues were poured out, and Yulan thought she was cured.

As soon as Lu Xiaoyi's illness got better, she wanted to take a bath happily, the kang was hot these days, and the magnolia covered her thickly, sweating layer after layer, and her body was covered with a sour smell.

Magnolia smiled and asked her to wait, put down the needlework in her hand and go to the stove room to boil water.

The barrel was quickly moved to the bedroom, and Yulan adjusted the water temperature and beckoned Xiao Yi to hurry up and enter the barrel, and then rolled up her sleeves to help scrub it.

Lu Xiaoyi obediently sat in the barrel and let Yulan help her rub the dead skin and off her body.

Compared with the loofah, Lu Xiaoyi prefers Yulan to rub it with her hands, even if Yulan's palm is full of thick calluses, it is more comfortable than the loofah.

After rubbing her back, Yulan picked up one of Lu Xiaoyi's arms and rubbed it, and the soft arm immediately appeared gray-white thin strips, Lu Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed, and said with a sneering face: "It's dirty." ”

Yulan smiled: "I don't dislike anything on your own body, you still dislike it!" As she spoke, Yulan's thick hand had already rubbed Lu Xiaoyi's diaphragm fossa, Lu Xiaoyi was afraid of itching, so she retracted her arm and twisted vigorously, and Yulan's hand slipped and hit Xiaoyi's chest.

Lu Xiaoyi turned the year 11, and his small breasts were a good year to germinate.

Yulan said angrily: "Let you move, let you move, ask for your own hardship!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi's face flushed, and she said shyly: "Mother." ”

It was an embarrassing thing, Yulan didn't say much, continued to pick up her arms to help her rub, and finally changed a bucket of warm water for her to clean, quickly wiped dry, and took it out and threw it on the warm kang.

Yulan opened the door, Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng ran in with a smile, and Yulan shouted, "Eh! Look at your feet and don't slip. ”

Xiao Ding Xiaogeng quickly bypassed the stagnant water on the ground, ran to the side of the kang, took off his shoes and got on the kang in one go, and mingled with Lu Xiaoyi.

Yulan muttered: "I haven't seen you for a while, it's like I haven't seen you in ten lifetimes!" "I don't care about the children anymore, I'm busy cleaning up the tubs and stagnant water.

Xiao Ding carefully helped Xiao Yi wipe his hair, and said in an envious tone: "Sister, your hair is so black and shiny!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi picked up a strand of hair, sure enough, it was black and shiny, and then looked at Xiaoding, the hair was a little yellowish, but it was better than fine and soft, and comforted: "The hair is yellow because you eat less and your body is thin, listen to the eldest sister, eat more rice in the future, and eat more eggs, let my father plant some black sesame seeds next year, I heard Dr. Wu say that people with yellow hair should eat more black sesame seeds." ”

Xiao Ding's big eyes were wide and round, and he looked at Xiao Yi with hope, and when he saw Lu Xiaoyi nodding, he immediately showed a beautiful smile, and said to himself: "Eat more, eat more eggs, eat more black sesame seeds, well, I wrote it down." ”

Xiao Geng stretched his little head over, "Sister, do I have yellow hair?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi hammered his little bun and teased: "The yellow one is like a pile of stinky piles." ”

Xiao Geng looked at Xiao Yi with a disgusted expression, "Liar! I've got black hair! ”

"You know and ask, is it begging for a beating!" Lu Xiaoyi's five fingers turned into claws, wanting to attack him.

Xiao Geng made the first move, pulled Lu Xiaoyi's hair, and then hid in the corner of the kang and laughed evilly.

Lu Xiaoyi didn't go to catch him, and when Xiao Ding helped dry his hair and find a hairband to tie his hair, he pounced on Xiao Geng like a tiger, Xiao Geng ran to the other side, and saw Xiao Ding stretching out his arms to stop him, and immediately shouted aggrievedly: "It's not fair to catch one of the two!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi took care of these, pounced over, hugged Xiao Geng and rubbed him, and waited until he was over his addiction and felt comfortable before letting go of him.

Xiao Geng laughed out of breath, and when he recovered his strength, he threw himself at his sisters like a moth to the fire, and the entire Tukang suddenly became a messy battlefield.

Such days are like this almost every day, like a newborn baby bear in a tree hole hidden by winter snow, every day in addition to playing or playing. It's the adults who work hard, Lu Zhong hasn't stopped carrying passengers, in addition to sending steamed buns to He Zhai, he also has to find work in the city, Yulan can't be idle at home, laundry, cooking, feeding chickens and pigs There is always endless work, and when she is free, she has to sew a stitch and a thread in the family's new clothes and shoes in the New Year.

Nowadays, there is no farm work in the fields, and the vegetable fields are empty, and the whole Xiaxi Village seems to have entered a state of hibernation, and people try to curl up at home, grind some corn flour, bean noodles and wheat noodles, and mix dry vegetables and pickles.

In the blink of an eye, the days are getting faster and faster, and the New Year is just around the corner.

The fat pigs in the family are getting fatter and fatter, and every time Lu Xiaoyi helps feed the pigs, he has to break his thoughts and urge the pigs to grow quickly.

Yulan laughed at her, "Don't rush it, you won't feed it this time, and tomorrow Yang Tu from the village will come and pull it away." ”

"Tomorrow?"

"Well, I have discussed with your father, and I will sell it as soon as the price is good, and after a while, as soon as there are more people selling pigs, the price will come down."

"Mother, are you going to sell out of pork?"

"Keep some, your grandfather and grandfather's family will give some, and our family will also keep some for the New Year." After speaking, Yulan poured all the remaining pig food in the bucket into the feeding trough and carried the bucket out of the enclosure.

Lu Xiaoyi didn't follow, stood outside the circle and watched the pig eat for a while, only to see that its mouth and nose were all buried in the drinking water, spraying bubbles, smacking and eating, and it didn't know that it would be near long.

Hey, each has its own life, each has its own fulfillment, raise you for three hundred days, and when it will eventually be useful to you, go with peace of mind!

After sending a pretentious emotion, Lu Xiaoyi walked out of the circle with peace of mind!

In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Tu, who had a big waist and a round waist, came to Lu's house with his two sons, went straight to the backyard enclosure, glanced at the fat pig that was still sleeping, and praised: "This pig is fattened and the meat is easy to sell!" ”

Lu Zhong changed into old clothes to help, Lu Shouzeng took Lu Yong to help, Lu Pozi followed closely, hugged Xiao Geng and hid far away, and chattered: "Good grandson, why are you standing so close, in case the fat pig goes crazy, a few people can't hold it!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi heard what Mrs. Lu said, and quickly pulled Xiaoding to a safe place.

It wasn't until Yang Tu made a move that Lu Xiaoyi didn't know what professionalism was!

I saw that Yang Tu sacrificed two magic weapons: long hemp rope and long wooden stick. Striding into the pigsty, scared the fat pig humming, Yang Tu's eyes were fast, one hand grabbed the fat pig's ears, the other hand grabbed the tail, waist and legs, and suddenly pressed the fat pig to the ground, and then, Yang Tu's two strong boys stepped forward to cooperate, and quickly tied the front and rear legs of the fat pig firmly, and used a long wooden stick to pass through the middle, and lifted the fat pig out of all fours.

The fat pig howled sharply, trying to struggle with the control of his limbs, Yang Tu and his son skillfully threw the fat pig into the special car, the fat pig reacted too much, and pulled out some poop, Yang Tu didn't care, and said to Lu Zhong with a smile: "A village, everyone knows the roots, the cost is the same as in previous years, the hoof, tendons, throat and heart and lungs are mine, and the slaughter of the pig and the sale of meat are charged for 300 Wen." ”

Lu Zhong took out the three hundred yuan prepared in advance, and Yang Tu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, let's finish selling the meat and then tie it off!" Tomorrow you come to my butcher's stall early, you know the location, right? ”

"I know, I know that I buy meat from you all year round, and I won't go wrong with my eyes closed!"

Yang Tu laughed, waved goodbye, jumped into the car, and let Da'er drive all the way to the city.

Mrs. Lu put Xiao Geng down to the ground and said to Lu Shouzeng: "I told you a long time ago, you don't need your help to tie up pigs, you still don't believe it." ”

Lu Shouzeng glanced at Mrs. Lu, "People have missed horses and horses, in case they encounter pigs with a lot of temperament, they will launch a rampant and smash these jars and jars in the backyard, not to mention, it is not unheard of knocking people down and stepping on injuries!" ”

Lu Shouzeng was telling the truth, it is always good to prevent problems before they happen, Lu Pozi couldn't refute it, so she changed the topic stupidly and asked Lu Zhongdao: "What is the price of pork now?" Go back and let Yang Tulai pull our two pigs away. ”

Lu Zhong said: "It's still fifteen wen a catty." ”

After thinking about it, Mrs. Lu said to Lu Shouzeng: "Otherwise, let's wait a little longer, maybe we can sell it for more money." ”

Lu Shouzeng ignored Mrs. Lu and said to Lu Yong on the side: "Go back." ”

Lu Zhong sent Lu Shouzeng and Lu Yong out of the door, and was busy carrying water to clean the pigsty.

Mrs. Lu paced to the chicken pen, her eyes were green, "Ouch, I really didn't see it, hiding in the backyard to raise so many chickens?" Gee! How much food do you have to eat to be so fat? ”

Yulan said lightly: "You only see the chickens getting fat, but you don't see Xiaoyi Xiaoding's hard work in cutting wild grass and wild vegetables and fishing for mussel shell screws, and the stream is frozen for a while, otherwise, they have to go and fish." ”

Mrs. Lu hated Yulan and said with a black face: "Who will do it, let Xiao Geng go?" ”

Yulan was angry at Mrs. Lu's partiality, ignored her with a black face, and was busy with her own work.

Mrs. Lu was angry, and couldn't help but think that Yulan had contradicted her because of the wolf a while ago, and she had a new hatred and old hatred together, and scolded: "You can endure it with a few chickens, right?" Let me ask what's wrong, you just hang your face and show me, are you afraid that I will eat your chicken? Bah! There are a lot of chickens in my pen, who is rare with you! ”

He also said: "My chickens are all raised for my grandson to eat, you can't smell the fragrance or drink the soup, hum!" I don't know whose belly your chicken ended up in? ”

Lu Xiaoyi heard it and answered: "Grandmother, these chickens in our family are all raised for Xiao Geng to eat, and we don't smell the fragrance or drink the soup." ”

Mrs. Lu hated Lu Xiaoyi, "Can you be so conscious?" ”

"Of course."

What else did Mrs. Lu want to say, but when she saw Lu Zhong coming back from carrying water, she hurriedly complained to Lu Zhong about what happened just now, focusing on how to stab her with blackened magnolia and how to show her face.

Lu Zhong nodded his head to show that he understood, and at the same time beckoned Yulan to bring a scoop and help him wash the pigsty, without reprimanding Yulan at all.

Mrs. Lu's cheeks were flushed, and she scolded Lu Zhong for leaving his heart with him, and forgetting his mother when he had a daughter-in-law.

Lu Zhong and Yulan just washed the pigsty, Lu Xiaoyi took Xiao Ding Xiaogeng to chase and play in the backyard, and even played around Lu Pozi to catch cats.

Mrs. Lu scolded tired, sat on the stone bench at her feet to rest, and then scolded and left.

After Yulan and Lu Zhong were busy, Lu Xiaoyi said the question in his heart: "Mother, Uncle Yang, they pulled the pig away, don't we follow?" ”

Yulan smiled: "Your Uncle Yang has been a butcher for so many years, and he has a good reputation, so let's rest assured that we will hand over the pig to him!" ”

"But it costs 300 wen to slaughter a pig, it's so expensive!"

"People have shops and regular customers, and they help them sell them, and it is more cost-effective to collect 300 wen than to sell woolly pigs." Yulan said: "Besides, they rent a shop for rent, that is, to make a hard-earned money." ”

"Then what did he ask Dad to do tomorrow?"

"Your father is going to collect money, your Uncle Yang is only responsible for slaughtering pigs and selling meat, no matter how much money is collected, it is our business to collect more or less."

Lu Xiaoyi understood, it turned out that this dynasty sold meat in this mode, and the butcher had his own shop, which could not only buy hairy pigs and slaughter them for money, but also help the farmers slaughter pigs and sell meat, and receive a certain amount of remuneration.
