In the small courtyard of Meng Tao's house, there was a lot of laughter and excitement.

The educated youths were all given meat, and the five male intellectuals were each given seven catties of meat and a piece of meat and bones because they participated in the lifting of wild boars, and they were all happy and diligent.

For dinner in the evening, there is no need for three female intellectuals to come out of the wild boar, and the one who has more meat is invited to a meal, first stew five meat bones and the big bone that Meng Tao divides together, and then five male intellectuals and Meng Tao each cut out six or seven taels of wild boar, and do not fry the oil, directly cut it into a large piece of palm, and wait for the pig bones to stew almost, and then put the pork in and stew for a while, and then add the cut radish and potatoes to stew together.

Meng Tao moved out of his small stove and put it in the middle of the house, an iron pot of meat and bones, boiling on the stove, the house was full of meat fragrance, nine people sat around the fireplace, and washed a basket of cabbage and celery on the side to eat, Meng Tao took out the homemade chili sauce and tomato sauce, and then cut some green onion and coriander to mix the saucer, the conditions are limited and can not be a person with a saucer, just three people have a total of one, in order to eat meat, everyone is not particular, a group of people eat sweaty, and they are addicted.

In the end, not only did a few catties of meat, radishes, potatoes, and a basket of vegetables be eaten, but the bones were also gnawed, and even the soup was drunk cleanly.

Qian Liang leaned against the door with his stomach in his hand and sighed: "This is the most luxurious, beautiful and comfortable meal I have eaten since I went to the countryside!" ”

"Me too, me too!" Others responded.

Sun Yutang said: "A full meal of meat, thanks to the peach blossoms, thank you peach blossoms!" ”

Meng Tao waved his hand: "This is the luck of the big guy, it is God who rewards meat to eat." ”

"Hahaha!" And when they heard this, they all rejoiced.

Zhao Ming said with a smile: "God appreciates meat to eat, it is well said. Eat and drink enough, Peach Blossom, should you do your homework? ”

Meng Tao was speechless, Mr. Zhao, you are very dedicated, but it is really a bad scenery, what kind of homework do you mention at this time?

said: "Teacher Zhao, everyone is nervous and tired today, so don't do your homework, okay?" Isn't it okay to lose a few days of homework? ”

Zhao Ming actually teased her, and she was really tired today: "You can not write today, and make up for it tomorrow." ”

Meng Tao sighed: "I regret it now, why should I follow you to learn culture?" I want to go into the mountains to be with wild boars, and wild boars don't have to learn culture. ”

Xu Guoliang was drinking the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, and when he heard the words, he squirted out, everyone leaned forward and fell back with laughter, He Huijuan slapped Meng Tao's arm and slapped her chopsticks off: "Fool! If you go to fight wild boars, you will be boiled and eaten! ”

"If I were a wild boar, how far would I run, and how far would I want to eat me? No way! Meng Tao said.

Everyone was a burst of Coke again, Meng Tao lowered her head to pick up the chopsticks, but someone helped her pick it up, it was Jiang Xiaodong, he smiled and took away the bowl in front of Meng Tao, and said, "I'll wash the dishes." ”

Meng Tao hurriedly stretched out his hand to snatch it back: "No need, you're welcome, I'll wash the bowl myself!" ”

"You're welcome, Peach Blossom, tonight it was supposed to be my turn to cook with Zhao Ming, but you were busy cooking just now, and now I should wash the dishes."

He Huijuan put her bowl over: "I also cooked just now." ”

Jiang Xiaodong: "Okay, put it all on the table, I'll clean it up and wash it together." ”

There is no need to wash the dishes, Xu Guoliang and Qian Liang are the happiest: "****, I have performed well today, I must praise and encourage, come on!" ”

"If you are poor, it will be your turn tomorrow."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

was laughing, heard the courtyard door being pushed open, someone walked into the courtyard with a flashlight, Zhao Ming got up and walked to the door to see clearly, and said, "It's Aunt Yang, and Zhou Cuiling, come here so late, have you eaten?" ”

Aunt Yang smiled and said, "I just came here after eating, Mr. Zhao, have you eaten?" ”

"Just finished eating, please come in and sit."

"Okay, okay."

Meng Tao also came out, Zhou Cuiling grabbed her arm, as a greeting, and then went into the house to talk to He Huijuan and the others, and Aunt Yang pulled Meng Tao and said: "Although the weather is cold now, there is the sun during the day, and it is still warm, I am afraid that you will get so much meat and spoil it." I'll come and take a look and marinate the meat with salt to make bacon, right? ”

"I was thinking, I'm tired today, I'll do it tomorrow." Meng Tao said.

"You're tired from going up the mountain for the past two days, give me the meat, and I'll make it for you." In addition, cut two catties out, fry out the oil, and the meat slices can be left in oil for ten days and half a month, you eat slowly, and the rest is made into bacon, you see? ”

"It's good, but Aunt Yang, you have a lot of work, and you can't be tired."

"Tired of what? I don't have any work these days, so get a basket and fill it with meat, and I'll go back." ”

"I'm in such a hurry, let's sit down and talk for a while."

"I can't sit down, the three troublemakers are at home, and they just beat the chickens and dogs to grab a snail, I'm afraid that they will tear down the house, and I have to go back and watch."

Meng Tao went to get a basket containing wild boar, and several male intellectuals heard Zhou Cuiling say that her mother wanted to help Meng Tao make bacon, and her mother had a secret recipe, and the bacon she made was fragrant and delicious, so she also went to bring her own wild boar, and wanted to trouble Aunt Yang to make it together, anyway, they helped people carry wood these days, and the host's family packed rice, and they couldn't eat their own wild boar meat for the time being.

Aunt Yang smiled and agreed.

Dozens of catties of meat, Aunt Yang must not be allowed to pick it back by herself, Jiang Xiaodong and Sun Yutang went to see Aunt Yang, Zhou Cuiling did not go home, she wanted to sleep with Meng Tao, and the two of them talked about small words.

The next morning, Yu Xiaomin and Zhou Cuimei didn't go to carry the wood, Bao Shunfeng understood that the girls were frightened on the mountain yesterday, and asked Meng Tao to rest, Meng Tao asked Bao Shunfeng to give a certificate of opening, saying that she would go to the regional city for a few days while the farm was slack, and her Uncle Chen in Pingjiang City asked her to visit a relative on her behalf.

Bao Shunfeng was suspicious, but he still gave her a certificate, maybe he was in a hurry to go up the mountain, this time there was no time limit, Meng Tao was secretly happy, she could run away and sell the thousand catties of oranges, navel oranges, pears and peaches in the space.

When the people carrying wood and mowing grass went up the mountain, Meng Tao returned home, Qian Xiaoyun was cleaning the yard, she accidentally twisted her foot when mowing the grass yesterday, and she also rested today.

The two discussed that after cleaning up the courtyard together, they would go to the river to wash clothes, bed sheets, and brush shoes, Qian Xiaoyun also had to feed the chickens, and the educated youths raised five chickens together, two hens and four chicks, Meng Tao felt that the hens they raised were very squeamish, the weather was hot and they didn't lay eggs, and they didn't lay eggs when it was cold, and there was only one in three or five days.

After feeding the chickens, bolting the chicken coop, Meng Tao and Qian Xiaoyun have a basket of dirty clothes, and carry them to the river, the waterfront river in the dry period is deep and shallow, the river water is clear and the flow is slow, but the water potential is very turbulent in summer, a wooden bridge is erected in a relatively narrow place on both banks, and the wooden bridge is basically washed down once a year when there is a flood, and then it is repaired and built again, so this wooden bridge is still new.

Today, there was no one washing clothes by the river, so Meng Tao and Qian Xiaoyun each found a big stone, squatted on it and began to clean.
