Through the noisy crowd, Shen Mengxi still heard the sharp knife stabbing into the pig's throat, and the screaming stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of pig blood hitting the enamel basin.

After a while, a foul smell spread, it should be disemboweled, Shen Mengxi heard some people praise the butcher's knife fast, some people praise the butcher's knife work, and the ribs are clean.

Qi Baoguo came out with half a basin of hot pig blood, "Baozhu, go home and let your three mothers fill you with blood sausages to eat!" ”

Northeast people speak enthusiastically, "give you blood sausage to eat", it sounds like it is made specifically for you alone, which makes people feel more cordial and valued.

Shen Mengxi was very appreciative and nodded with a smile, "Hmm! ”

Qi Weixing followed, "I want to eat, I want to eat!" ”

"It's a pity that there is no sauerkraut now." Qi Baoguo ignored his son and muttered, "Baohua has to get married in the summer, he is really ignorant, and he is busy all summer!" ”

In the past few days, their family bought a lot of fish and put them in the vegetable cellar, and also prepared two pigs and ten chickens, which had to be slaughtered in these two days, and also prepared two bags of melon seeds. I also prepared a few boxes of tobacco and alcohol, and the chef in charge specially invited from Shiraishi Lizi, the tables, chairs, benches, plates and bowls all greeted the neighbors, and I went to borrow them a day in advance.

Qi Baoguo was very dissatisfied with his younger brother's willfulness. There is a reason why most of the northern countryside get married in winter, one is that they can't save things in the summer, and the other is that every family is busy farming, who has the time to support it? The younger brother insisted on setting the wedding date in July for his brother-in-law to travel and get married during the summer vacation.

"Baoping! Bring this pot to your three mothers! Qi Baoguo shouted at Qi Baoping, who had just come over, Qi Baoping came with a flatbed truck, he was here to pull pork, the escaped pig had not been caught, he had to send the pig's blood home first.

Shen Mengxi didn't want to watch it anymore, so he coaxed Qi Weixing to go back to the third master's house with him.

"Auntie, why don't you watch it, how fun it is!" Qi Satellite Jump.

"Is it fun?"

"It's fun, poof! Wow! Qi Weixing gestured to kill the pig.

Children of this age don't seem to have any empathy, Shen Mengxi really doesn't remember her psychology before she was ten years old, but at that time, she didn't seem to feel sympathy or sadness for a male classmate killing a sparrow or something.

Nowadays, the male students of the second class of the fourth year often catch the "big blind" on the window, pull off the tail, stuff a note, and watch them fly around the classroom in pain until they die, so as to have fun, and never get tired of it.

Children do not hesitate to trample to death when they see insects, they must cut them into several pieces with a pencil knife when they see an earthworm, they must kick a lame dog when they see them, and they must follow the coaxing when they see a disabled person......

I never saw an adult stop it.

Even, the adults are more cruel.

They also despise people with disabilities, and they have a sense of contempt and superiority for no reason. The discrimination against widows is even more inexplicable, as if widows are synonymous with sluts.

Shen Mengxi felt people's numbness, she wanted to say something to Qi Weixing, but what to say.

When I closed my eyes, I seemed to see the stars moving in the sky again, and I was infinitely small.

******

The day before the wedding, the bus from Jiayang to Qingfeng Forest Farm was full of half of the relatives of the Qi family.

Old Man Qi didn't come, he was too old, no one dared to let him come, he had to wait for Qi Baohua to take his daughter-in-law to see his grandfather after he got married.

If you rush to Sunday, there will be more people coming: Qi Youde took Qi Baoliang and Qi Weijia, Qi Baochang took Qi Weiming, Qi Baoman and his wife took Li Gang, Qi Huishan took his son Lu Aiguo and six-year-old grandson Lu Junjie.

The most surprising thing for Qi Youfang was that Xiao Zhang drove a jeep to send the third aunt Qi Huici and her son.

Qi Youfang almost burst into tears, shouting the third sister, his lips trembled, and he said after a while: "Third sister, I didn't expect you to come!" ”

"My own nephew is married, and he has to come no matter how far away!" Qi Huici's voice was full of anger and official.

"Oh, this is Jing Yu, what a spirit! There is culture at first glance! Hu Lichun has always been able to speak well, but at this time, her tongue suddenly knotted, and she didn't feel like she was on the stage when she said it.

"Third brother, what kind of leader is the third uncle, why is it the car of the county party committee to deliver it!" Shen Mengxi asked Qi Baoping at the back of the crowd.

"I used to be in Beijing, then I was decentralized, and now I'm back in Harbin City. I don't know what kind of official, so I just rushed to the old revolution, and our county magistrate had to send it. ”

Qi Jianxin also got out of the car, carried a few pieces of luggage and gifts, beckoned Xiao Zhang to come into the house to drink water, and asked Hu Lichun to quickly get food for Xiao Zhang, he had to rush back to the county that day.

"Baoping, Baozhu, come here!" Qi Youfang turned around and saw Qi Baoping standing behind them.

"Sangu is good! Brother Jing Yu is good! Qi Baoping stepped forward to say hello, and Shen Mengxi also said hello.

"Okay, okay, Baoping is admitted to university, Baozhu is so old, and when he came back last time, he was only three or four years old." Qi Huici said with a smile.

Hu Lichun stood beside the eldest sister and was a little flustered, sweating profusely in a hurry, her face was swollen and red, just when the field director heard the news, she hurriedly pushed the field director over, "Third sister, this is our forest farm Li field director!" ”

Qi Huici stretched out his hand and shook hands cordially with Director Li, who was a little excited, holding Qi Huici's hand with both hands, shaking up and down, "Director Qi!" Director Qi is honored to be able to visit our Qingfeng Forest Farm this time, it is really a great honor for us! ”

"Whoa! I'm retired, don't call me Director Qi, just call me Lao Qi! Qi Huici let go of his hand and corrected with his hands behind his back.

"It's also the director when I retire. Director Qi, this time you came to attend your nephew's wedding, and you just happened to give us guidance on the work of the forest farm! Li Changchang clasped his hands in front of him, respectfully.

Shen Mengxi and Qi Bao looked at each other, and suddenly laughed silently.

Their laughter was seen by their cousin He Jingyu, who also laughed.

He pulled Qi Baoping aside, "Your brother said that you took the college entrance examination this year, what school did you apply for?" Have you reported to us Harbin Institute of Technology? ”

Qi Baoping immediately blushed, "Brother, I can't study, how dare I report to Harbin Institute of Technology!" ”

"Tsk, the quality of Jiayang's teaching is really not good, and it has delayed you all." He Jingyu nodded and continued to ask, "Then where did you report!" ”

"Harbin Normal University, which was the first choice, then reported Jiamusi Normal College and Qi City Normal College, as well as secondary school, which were all filled up anyway. The results haven't come out yet, and I think I'm choking enough to get in. ”

"You want to be a teacher?"

"It's not, it's that I don't have a bottom in my heart, and I can leak a secondary school, and I'm not all the same as what I reported before. In addition to a few educated youths in Jiayang who were admitted in the first two years, and then there are places guaranteed every year, how can we be admitted to a decent university in these years! Qi Baoping bowed his head in frustration.

"Understand, no one wants to be a teacher in the frontier. The more there are no good teachers, the lower the level of teaching. He Jingyu nodded, "To be honest, I don't want to go, on one side is Harbin City, on the other side is Jiayang, I will definitely choose Harbin City, those who have the ability will definitely go to a high place!" In the same way, it is possible to make greater achievements and more contributions! He Jingyu was admitted to Renmin University in 1977 and now teaches at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Qi Baoping is very willing to talk to He Jingyu, he does not have such a knowledgeable person around him, the level of the teacher is not high, and he does not like his character, and his parents hardly talk to him.

Qi Baoping looked at his cousin adoringly, listening to him talk eloquently, and wished that his eyes were good.
