28. Kill pigs
Bai Wenli and the three of them buried the fruit tree saplings in the yard with soil, because the winter here is dozens of degrees below zero, and if you don't get it right, the fruit trees will freeze to death, and the safest way is to keep the fruit trees warm, and burying them in the soil will prevent frostbite.
Bai Xinyi raised pigs this year, so before the Chinese New Year, Bai Wenli decided to kill the pigs first, and calling all his friends over can be regarded as thanking everyone for taking care of the family this year.
The Bai family's pig killing is the first household in the whole company this year, and people who have nothing to do at home love to come over to join in the fun, and children love to go to the lively places even more.
The pig killer threw the pig urine bubble on the ground, "No, let's play with this for you little ones." ”
There are very few toys for children in the Corps, especially in such a remote place, let alone buying toys, and many parents are reluctant to spend this money to buy these impractical things for their children.
Of course, the children themselves can also find games that can make them happy, kicking the pig urine bubble is a very interesting game, after a group of children get the toy, simply kick this thing as a ball, soft and soft, the size is still moderate, and everyone can participate.
Yuxi looked at a group of happy children and had to sigh at the greatness of human wisdom, this thing can be used as a toy.
Kicking football is just a boys' game, and girls are watching. Zou Li was still a little envious of watching the boy play football next to the rain, but she was even more envious that this partner could eat meat today.
Yuxi didn't see the little girl's eyes when she looked back at the meat, she had been playing for so long, she knew more or less about the situation of Zou Li's family, the family conditions were not too good and there were two younger brothers, and her parents also loved their son more, so whatever delicious food would be left for her son.
"Zou Li, you can eat at our house at noon."
The little girl just wanted to nod, but hesitated, "No, my mother still has to watch my little brother cook." ”
Yuxi glanced at the little radish head running crazy behind his brother, and frowned a little, "They are all so old and still need to look at it, or you and your brother can eat here, anyway, our family doesn't care about adding you three pairs of chopsticks when we kill pigs." ”
But Zou Li shook her head at this time, "Forget it, there are enough people in your family at noon, so I won't make a mess." ”
Since Zou Li disagreed, she didn't force it, everyone has self-esteem, regardless of age.
At noon, the Bai family's meals were extremely rich, grandpa, uncle and Li Qian all asked Bai Wenli to call over, and the old man Bai just hugged his eldest grandson with a smile, and watched other young people gather together to eat and drink while eating.
Today, not only did they invite those who came to help before, but even the instructors of their company, Hou Dekai and his wife, asked Geng Mei to call them over, and the neighbors surnamed Jin's family on the side.
Although Bai Wenli and they don't usually have much contact with this family, simple etiquette is still necessary.
Geng Mei and the instructor's wife Du Juan have a good conversation, plus the two of them are from Sichuan, so they are very close to the villagers in other towns, and of course, even the men in the family have frequent interactions with Bai Wenli.
Geng Mei and the other women sat down to eat after finishing the meals on the man's side, and Yuxi didn't share a table with Bai Wenli, they were all men drinking, and she still sat obediently and waited for a few women to finish their work and eat with them.
Ma Lianhua envied Geng Mei and said, "Brother and sister, look at how well-behaved your little girl is, she sits honestly, and she doesn't cry or make trouble, which is like our family's skin boy, even if he goes to school, he is not honest in class, alas, it is really incomparable, I want a daughter, but I just gave birth to a son, or you have a good life and children." ”
Geng Mei smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't envy me, my girl in our family still thinks she is too quiet, not like a child at all, you see if you don't talk to her, this child is estimated to not speak for a day, and I don't know who Lu Dao is, my father and I are not the people who speak expensive." ”
Geng Mei said this as if she was complaining, but it was a kind of pride to hear it in Bai Xinyi's ears.
couldn't help but smile, "Our little niece, don't say it's good, I've been watching it for almost a year, I didn't see this child crying, smiling every day, even I, an aunt, feel in a good mood." ”
The cuckoo answered on the side, "That is, the rain tide of your family is quiet, and it is really rare to see this child playing crazy with the children on the street, even our old marquis envy this child for being well-behaved." ”
The four women were talking and eating, and Yuxi acted as if she didn't understand anything, struggling with the meat on her lips while listening to the adults.
The pig's head fed by the grain is delicious, and the pigs fed by the feed in later generations are fragrant, and she used to not eat fatty meat, but when she came here, she felt delicious when she ate fatty meat.
After eating a bowl of meat that Geng Mei specially chopped for her, her little belly was almost eaten.
Geng Mei shaved a piece of pork ribs and stuffed it into her mouth, "Eat slowly, girl, go over and see what else your second aunt needs." ”
Yuxi pouted, she really couldn't figure out what Li Qian, a woman, was pretending to be in her head, she was pregnant, and she went to the man's table, if she liked her man, she didn't have a man like her, you can like it when you go home, but she was embarrassed to get up to so many strange men, and she really couldn't see through this person.
But he nodded obediently, "Well, I'll take a look." ”
With a smile on her face, Geng Mei watched her daughter walk to another room with her calves on her legs.
Only then did he turn his head and ask Bai Xinyi, "Eldest sister, has the second daughter-in-law been doing well lately?" “
Bai Xinyi was a little not very satisfied, she was not very satisfied with Li Qian's performance today, she didn't know a woman's family, what kind of excitement did you go to the gentleman's table, she also felt inappropriate in her heart, but after all, she couldn't say it.
Geng Mei looked at her eldest sister like that, and she could guess what she was thinking, but she didn't say anything, they were two people, and the men didn't speak, so it was even more difficult for them to say anything.
Bai Yuxi waited for a look when she entered the house, and Li Qian sat there looking at this and that with a shy face.
She really wants to vomit in her heart, what is this, she is still a pregnant woman, and she can choose another wishful husband when she is a big girl, she is already a woman and is about to be a mother, this is quite shameful for her.
But looking at her second uncle Bai Wenyi's expression, it is estimated that she drank too much, and her eyes began to blur. Looking at other people, fortunately, her father's friends are all righteous gentlemen, and they drink and drink, but no one looks at women like Li Qian.
