Chapter 68: The Wolf Runs
Qingfeng Forest Farm is only two miles away, except for the canteen of the field department, there is not even a restaurant, and the banquet for red and white ceremonies has to be organized by itself.
There are too many things that the Qi Youfang family needs Zhang Luo.
There are still three days before the wedding, Qi Baoan and Shen Mengxi visited the new house, which is a red brick house, four houses at a time, each family is about fifty square meters, the foundation is also higher, and there are two steps at the door. There is a well on the side of the road dozens of meters behind the house, and the draft is very convenient.
Qi Baohua's house is facing the east side, the yard is twice as big as the middle two, he built a wooden barn, there is a TV pole in front of the window, and there is a fish pole in the yard.
There are not many vegetables in the vegetable garden, most of them are deserted, and I think the house has just arrived, and I haven't had time to manage it. The southwest corner of the courtyard is a boxy thatched building built of wooden planks, with doors and eaves, which is very decent.
When I entered the house, the front room was a red floor, and half of the kang could accommodate four people.
On the ground is a set of large wardrobes and TV cabinets, the seventeen-inch TV is very conspicuous, Qi Baoping praised it first, Shen Mengxi noticed that there was a magnifying glass next to the TV, and the middle and bottom of the mirror were blue, yellow, and red respectively.
Qi Baohua also deliberately turned on the TV, tuned to the Soviet station, and put a magnifying glass in front of the TV, "This is called a magnifying glass, and it is also colored." ”
The skating scene has a color, divided into a faint red, yellow and blue, but it looks weird.
"Haha, Brother Baohua, seventeen inches is big enough, what kind of magnifying glass do you have!" Qi Baoping smiled.
"Of course, the bigger the better."
"Brother Baohua, have you made a fortune? You see, your house has a TV and a washing machine. Qi Baoping walked around the room.
Qi Baohua smiled, "What kind of fortune, your brother will drive a car, last year he partnered with someone to do some work and earned some marriage money, hey, finally got married and didn't cause trouble to the family." There was a hint of smugness in the words.
"You can do it!" Qi Baoping was sincerely admired.
"What are you doing, the old man is coarse, drilling in the forest every day, driving with the smell of engine oil, your sister-in-law dislikes me!"
"It's really fake! Look at your beauty! The groom's officer! ”
"By the way, on the day of the wedding, you have to ask the uncle to press the kang, it's you!"
"Huh?" Qi Baoping was dumbfounded.
"It can only be you, the security guard didn't come, it has to be you!" Qi Baohua smiled, "It's just to sit on the kang, you see that you are still so shy, if the security guard jumps high, you will go on the kang." ”
Qi Baoping scratched his head.
"Baozhu will eat more when the time comes, don't let those naughty boys squeeze you, brother doesn't have time to take care of you, haha." Qi Baohua tugged at Shen Mengxi's pigtails. "I'm going to kill two pigs in the field tomorrow, it's not too big, and then Zhuzhu will go to the field to see the excitement!"
The next day, Qi Weixing jumped high to see the pig slaughter, Shen Mengxi didn't want to see the bloody scene, but the adults were busy, and she, the "child-watcher", had to take him to observe the slaughtering scene.
"Auntie, have you ever seen a pig slaughtered?" Qi Weixing asked.
"Nope." Shen Mengxi thought for a while and said.
"I've seen it!" Qi Weixing said proudly.
"Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, how fun it is!"
Shen Mengxi was speechless.
Before they arrived at the field, they heard the hoarse pig cry, and they also knew that the end was coming, so they tried their best to call again.
Caught off guard, a pig that was pressed by three people broke free, ran off the wooden platform, arched over the butcher with a knife, spread his hooves and ran in the direction of Shen Mengxi, Shen Mengxi's first thought was that the idiom of the wolf running suddenly made sense, the wild boar's ability to collide is strong, and the domestic pig is not ordinary.
Don't allow her to have a second thought, the half-big pig that has been shaved white has rushed to her, this pig who has been on the guillotine once, I am afraid that he has already given birth to the idea of "hating society", and is not in a hurry to escape, and specially arches people, only to see that it arched down The boy who walked in front of Shen Mengxi also went to see the pig killing, and came towards her and Qi Weixing.
She pushed Qi Weixing to hide on the side of the road, narrowly brushed shoulders with the pig, really passed by, the pig's shoulder hit Shen Mengxi's buttocks, and she stumbled a few steps before standing firmly.
Looking at the pigs fleeing in panic, she smiled, even if it was a pig, she knew not to be killed.
When Qi Weixing saw her laughing, his originally panicked expression was changed to a smile and laughed.
A group of pig catchers chased after them, and one of them lifted up the boy who had fallen to the ground and was crying, and when he saw them laughing, he said, "These two stupid boys! It's no joke to let the pig arch a little! ”
Qi Weixing didn't care, and pulled Shen Mengxi towards the wooden platform. Shen Mengxi looked back at the direction of the pig's escape, the pig was only more than a hundred catties, his body was flexible, he rushed left and right, and a group of people couldn't take it down for a while, Shen Mengxi smiled.
The other pig had been washed and tied to the pig killing table, neighing, not knowing whether it was begging or scolding.
The butcher wore a dirty halterneck apron, habitually sharpened it twice on the grinding stone, holding a sharp knife, "Hide, hide, I can't wash it off with blood!" ”
People laughed and quickly got out of the way, and the circle suddenly became much larger. The butcher stepped forward, walked around the pig killing table, and stopped at the pig's head, and two men came up and held the pig's head down, so that the pig's head could be down, so that the blood could be received for a while.
Qi Weixing blindfolded his eyes with a groan, and then peeked through his fingers.
Shen Mengxi didn't enter the circle, she didn't want to see it.
It's just a matter of eating other people's meat, and you have to see how people die, and it's always a little uncomfortable.
"Little girl! Are you scared? ”
Shen Mengxi looked back and saw that it was an unkempt middle-aged man, and she shook her head.
The man listened to the pig's cry and suddenly became excited: "Man, they are the most ferocious and greedy creatures in the world, and they regard everything in this world as their own, and tigers and wolves are not terrible. People are the biggest scourge in the world, you know? ”
Shen Mengxi turned his head to look at him in surprise, he could still see Rong Qingjun behind his beard, and the logic of his words showed that he had a certain culture, but he was dressed like this.
"Some people can't see others being better than themselves, they don't want to make progress on their own, and they try to catch up, but they want to use conspiracies and tricks to pull people off their horses, press them all the way to the dung pit, and put them to death!" The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, grabbing his hair and shouting.
The people who watched the pig killing all looked back at them, and even the butcher stopped to look, Qi Baoguo ran over and pulled Shen Mengxi behind him, "Brother Qu, where did my sister-in-law find you to eat just now, go home quickly, she should cry urgently!" ”
That big brother Qu let go of his hair, turned his head left and right to look at Qi Baoguo suspiciously, and suddenly pointed at the pig killing platform, "I'm not going home, I want to eat meat!" ”
"Okay, okay, you go home first, and when you're done, I'll send you one home!" Qi Baoguo repeatedly assured.
"Okay, that's it." Brother Naqu completely forgot what he had just said about greedy humans, and nodded again and again.
On another small road leading to the regiment headquarters, a girl of thirteen or fourteen ran quickly and grabbed Brother Qu's hand, "Dad, it's time to go home for dinner, my mother is waiting." ”
The man glanced at the pig killing platform with nostalgia, and then at Qi Baoguo, "Don't forget." ”
Seeing that Qi Baoguo was smiling, he obediently followed his daughter home.
Seeing them go away, Qi Baoguo said: "That's a madman, sometimes sober, sometimes sick, usually a very good person, in the first few years, people fight, broke his head, often convulsions, and went crazy." ”
"Is he an educated youth?"
"yes, how do you know?"
"Guess."
"Hey, no wonder you can skip a grade, it's just smart!" Qi Baoguo said with a smile.
The screams of the pigs on the pig killing platform were even more poignant, apparently at the last moment.
"Come up and look?" Qi Baoguo asked.
Shen Mengxi shook his head.
"If you're scared, don't look at it. You stand here and wait, saving yourself a while of opening up your intestines or something, and burying the smelly ones. "After all, it is his own slaughter of pigs, and some things have to be dealt with personally, Qi Baoguo finished speaking, and squeezed into the crowd again.
