The men in the house all went out to kill the pigs, and there were many men in the family, the youngest of whom was sixteen years old, and there was no need to ask outsiders to help kill the pigs, and outsiders had to entertain others, which all cost money.

The women all stayed at home to see the new clothes Fang Wenjing made for them and the new socks that Tang Xiaofu brought back, and grandma He Xuemei saw that Fang Wenjing made her a dark blue nylon satin cotton jacket and a pair of khaki pants, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "I haven't worn new clothes for many years, this old bone can still wear such good clothes this year, it's a waste!" ”

In the countryside, where the family has a little spare money to make clothes, it is generally done by the girls in the family first, the girls are too tattered and tattered, and there is no look, and the matchmaker said that the relatives will not have good conditions to ask for it, and then it is for the little daughter-in-law of the family to do it, it is difficult for the old lady to make new clothes, so Tang Xiaofu's grandmother is so happy.

Needless to say, Tang Xiaofu's two cousins don't like new clothes, how can girls not like new clothes, and Fang Wenjing didn't wear any new clothes because she was a girl, and she didn't wear any new clothes, and she went to relatives during the New Year, and her aunt was afraid that people would laugh at her, so she always lent her good clothes to wear, but at that time, Fang Wenjing was so young, wearing her aunt's clothes was like wearing a robe, and the memory of her girlhood made her love girls, so she made two new clothes for each of her two nieces.

The two Caiyun Caifeng sisters picked up their new clothes and took the two Tang Xiaofu sisters into their room, tried on the new clothes, twisted their bodies in front of the only dressing mirror in the house, and took pictures of them, happy to death, but after trying them on, they took them off and kept them for the New Year.

Tang Xiaofu took out the hair flowers for them from her pocket, and the two girls were even more happy, comparing their heads, several girls were chattering with great interest, and there was the miserable cry of pigs outside, but they soon stopped barking, presumably they had been killed.

The two Caiyun sisters put down their heads and said, "It's time for us to help." ”

After the countryman kills the pig, he washes the pig's intestines and internal organs, and plucks the pig's head and feet, all of which should be done by the girls in the family, and those girls are willing to do it, because they will eat a fragrant pig-killing meal afterwards.

Tang Xiaofu said, "We'll help you." ”

Caiyun glanced at their new clothes: "You should sit down, so as not to stain the new clothes on your bodies." ”

About an hour passed, and the pig-killing meal was served, and the grandfather's family was all on the table to eat, and it was lively.

In fact, the pig-killing dishes in rural Hubei are very simple, that is, blood tofu soup and braised fat sausages, and the rest must be kept and sold for money.

Tang Xiaofu's grandfather's family raised three pigs, and he killed two of them before and sold them, this one was specially killed a few days before the Chinese New Year, and he made an appointment with the people in the village, and people came directly to his house to buy fresh pork for New Year's dishes, so although he killed a whole pig, in fact, most of the meat had already been booked, and the rest of Tang Xiaofu's grandfather's family had to keep it for the New Year.

Although there are only two dishes, they are all served in pots, and the portion is enough for a large family to eat, but the taste is a little unsatisfactory, but for people who can rarely eat meat, this is delicious, so everyone is very happy to eat it.

In particular, Tang Xiaofu likes to eat blood tofu very much, and eats a big bowl of hot food.

After eating, Fang Wenjing was about to leave with her two daughters, and they still had a lot of things to do when they went back.

Tang Xiaofu's eldest grandfather called Fang Wenqiang, and the two brothers took out five catties of fat meat and two old hens, a small basket of eggs, and thirty catties of glutinous rice for Fang Wenjing to bring.

The mother and daughter and the eldest grandfather's family pushed it for a long time, and it was difficult to accept it, but Tang Xiaofu resolutely did not want to fat the meat, it was too greasy to eat, and asked the uncles to cut off the pig's head meat and give it to her, the pig's head meat was marinated and delicious.

Fang Wenqiang asked his eldest son Fang Ming to send their aunt and two little cousins.

Fang Ming is a twenty-year-old young man, with a shy personality, he walks in front of everything on his shoulders alone, and he doesn't take the initiative to speak along the way, Fang Wenjing asked him, he reluctantly said a few words, but he is very sincere, and he has been sending her mother and daughter half the way before handing over the things to them, and turned to leave.

The two Tang Xiaofu sisters died laughing behind their backs, how could a boy be so shy, if he begged his daughter-in-law in the future, he wouldn't be strangled to death by his daughter-in-law!

When passing through the town, Tang Xiaofu specially bought a few catties of the best pork belly, and when he returned home, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the old hen who sent the cold old man's glutinous eggs was there, so he just sent the glutinous cakes, chickens and eggs he took from his uncle's house, and then he only needed to add a few dishes to send them together.

Tang Xiaofu spent about an hour making a dish of steamed pork belly, a minced meat egg roll, and a sauerkraut button pork.

In fact, the authentic button meat needs to use plum vegetables, but there are no plum vegetables at home, so they can only be replaced by sour radish leaves.

After it was done, Fang Wenjing went out and borrowed two large baskets to wash them, one basket for dishes, one basket for eggs and glutinous rice cakes, and the two old hens were carried in their hands.

However, Tang Xiaofu left ten catties of glutinous rice at home, not that she was reluctant to give it to the old man, but that the glutinous rice was really difficult to digest, and it was not good for the old man to eat too much.

When the two sisters arrived at the Leng family compound, it was Wu Weiguo who opened the door for Tang Xiaofu and the two sisters, and when they saw that her two sisters had brought so many things, they said: "When the old chief sees that you have brought so many things, he will definitely talk about you." ”

Tang Xiaofu said: "It's just a little local goods, it's worthless, it's just a little heart." ”

The two sisters followed Wu Weiguo to the living room and met Master Shen in the corridor.

Master Shen asked in surprise: "Xiao Wu, why did you bring everyone home?" Then he said angrily: "Do you still want to work here?" ”

Wu Weiguo's face showed a look of panic, and he hurriedly defended: "Sister Xiaofu is the old man's guest, and the old man has instructed that as long as the two sisters Xiaofu come to the door, they will definitely be welcome, and I don't just bring people to the house." ”

Only then did Master Shen get out of the way with a straight face.

Wu Weiguo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and whispered to Tang Xiaofu: "Don't be afraid, that is the old man's daughter-in-law, Master Shen." ”

Tang Xiaofu glanced back at the back of Master Shen: "It's really amazing, a woman has actually achieved the position of division commander." ”

Wu Weiguo smiled: "Senior Commander Shen is not the kind of division commander you think, she is the division commander from the art troupe." ”

Tang Xiaofu suddenly realized, and said, Master Shen is so beautiful, he doesn't look like he has combat effectiveness, it turns out that he is the commander of the Art Troupe.

When I arrived at the old man's living room, there was a big stove inside, a pot of water was placed on the stove, and a chimney was connected to the window, which could avoid carbon dioxide poisoning.

There was also a very bright girl in her twenties and a little Lori of three or four years old sitting in the room.
