Since Zhou Guoqiang built a new pigsty and bought a new tricycle, his business has become busier. Now the vegetable market basically lets Zhao 'Yu' Zhen go alone, and he is busy driving a tricycle to collect pigs and deliver pig 'meat' everywhere. This year, two more restaurants came to make a verbal contract with him on how many catties of pig 'meat' to send every day.

He's busy spinning like a spinning top, but as long as he can make money, it's nothing if he is busy and hard.

Seeing that he couldn't be busy killing pigs alone, Zhou Guoqiang simply 'spend' some wages to hire people from his village to help. Wages are settled on the spot, and pigs are often sent to take home. Who is unhappy about this to help, and who doesn't want to come if they have wages and things to take?

Later, there were only two people left who often came to help, one was Xu Dashan's younger brother Xu Dahai in the village, and the other was Wang Jingjing's father Wang Kang.

Wang Jingjing is happy that her father works for the Zhou family for a short time, and often goes to Zhou Xiaoyun's house after school to play, and will go home with Wang Kang.

However, the spectacular scene of killing pigs was not afraid to be watched by the girls. Xiaobao's courage is not much older than that of a 'girl' child, and at this time he runs faster than Erya.

The words in the courtyard are bloody and scary, and the children dare to go out of the house when they are cleaned up.

The pigsty at home has several pigs for slaughter, and now the pigs in the pigsty are collected from various villages and kept in the pen for a while before they are slaughtered.

Pig food has become a big problem at home every day. Sweet potatoes are boiled in a pot to feed the pigs, but there is always a time to feed them, and the bran and rice bran of the machine noodles and rice are also good materials for feeding pigs.

If you add some rotten vegetables and leaves or something, add some pigs, and you will be happier to eat.

Don't underestimate the days before the slaughter, if the pig eats better, it can also produce a lot of 'meat'!

Zhao 'Yu' Zhen saw that the 'spring' warm 'flowers' were blooming, and the weather was getting warmer day by day, and the field was full of wild vegetables, so he thought about digging some and coming back to feed the pigs. There was definitely no time in the morning, and I could only spare some time in the afternoon when the children were all going to school.

Erya followed Zhao 'Yu' Zhen to the ground, picked some wild 'flowers' or something to play next to him, and waited for Zhao 'Yu' Zhen to dig up a basket and then jumped back with him.

After having the tender wild vegetables, a few pigs ate pig food a lot more fragrant.

Zhao 'Yu' Zhen felt 'very' relieved when she saw it, but she regretted that she didn't have enough time and couldn't dig more.

Zhou Xiaoyun began to volunteer to help. I don't usually have time to do my homework, but I have a lot of free time on Sundays. Grab a bamboo basket and a small scythe and you're ready to go!

The local people call digging wild vegetables "picking pig vegetables", and think about it is still a "good" image. Didn't you just pick the wild vegetables that pigs love to eat?

Many 'girl' children will help the family to dig wild vegetables to feed the pigs in their spare time, often in groups of three or five to go back together, and dig wild vegetables and chat and laugh together, and can also chase and play in the field, it is really a few birds in one fell swoop.

At this time, basically every household raised pigs, so on Sunday morning, Zhou Qianqian, Sun Min and Wang Jingjing came to Zhou Xiaoyun with a basket of small sickles to set off together.

A few people set off after breakfast, refusing to return until noon.

Zhou Xiaoyun was worried about going home early to help make lunch, so he urged him to go home quickly, if Zhou Xiaoyun hadn't followed the urging, it was estimated that several people would have had lunch at home when they got home.

Zhou Xiaoxia envied a few 'girl' children who were giggling together, and also asked Shen Huafeng for tools, saying that she went to the field with Zhou Xiaoyun and them to dig wild vegetables and came back to keep them at home to feed the pigs.

Shen Huafeng thought movingly: The 'girl' is sensible in the first year of junior high school!

Boys disdain to participate in such activities, especially Dabao, who has been practicing 'Mao' calligraphy recently, and is said to participate in the calligraphy and painting exhibition held by Qiming Middle School.

Zhou Xiaoyun didn't think that the original joking behavior actually made Dabao really insist on practicing the 'Mao' pen for more than two years, from the beginning of the unbearable to the current level of Dabao's handwriting, it is simply a earth-shaking change.

It seems that there is still room for improvement in the future, very good!

Xiaobao is ten years old, but he still loves to stick to Xiaoyun this week, so he has to follow.

was teased by Zhou Xiaoyun: "You are a boy who follows a bunch of our 'girl' children to dig wild vegetables, will you be embarrassed!" ”

Xiaobao replied seriously: "I also want to dig more wild vegetables for my mother to reduce my mother's burden, what's wrong with the boy, can't the boy do more things for the family?" ”

Look at this high-sounding appearance, and tell a lot of truth to the ass. Who present didn't know that Xiaobao was Zhou Xiaoyun's tail, and wherever Zhou Xiaoyun went, he was there, and laughed at Xiaobao's words.

Xiaobao

I don't care, what is the point of this battle, go, pick up the basket and let's follow.

Erya caught up behind him: "Sister, brother, I'm going too." ”

Xiaobao's face was flat: "You fart, you have to follow everywhere, you are only seven years old and you can't take a sickle, why are you going with you?" ”

I'm a complete fart, and I'm embarrassed to talk about Erya, Zhou Xiaoxia laughed without giving face.

Zhou Xiaoyun estimated that the last one to take over must be to bring Erya with him, and don't waste that effort, let's go!

Erya sang happily.

There are wild vegetables everywhere on the country roads, and Zhou Xiaoxia can't help but squatting when she looks at it. Zi wanted to dig two, but was stopped by Zhou Xiaoyun: "Sister Xiaoxia, the road here is too narrow, how can so many of us squat open." We walked forward to find a wide field, where we could dig wild vegetables and have a place for Erya to play. ”

The others nodded yes.

Zhou Xiaoxia was a little unconvinced when she saw that everyone thought that Zhou Xiaoyun was the first to look at her, why did she want to listen to Zhou Xiaoyun, who was three years younger than herself, when she was the biggest?

Helplessly, everyone didn't stop and walked forward, and Zhou Xiaoxia had to follow aggrievedly.

In a short time, a suitable location was found.

There is wheat growing in the fields, so naturally the children can't go, and don't dig up a few wild vegetables and then spoil the wheat in other people's fields.

So I found a slope of each kind of banker's slope, and below it was a ditch that was not deep and was used for waterproofing when Zhong Rice, and now there is no water, and the bottom of the ditch is new

Fresh wild vegetables.

The children cheered and began to work.

A few people spread out, chatting while digging wild vegetables, and the fun was endless.

Zhou Xiaoyun originally wanted Xiaobao and Erya to play on the side, but Xiaobao wanted to join the army of digging wild vegetables, and showed his speed to show his ability.

Zhou Xiaoyun thought to himself, it's rare for Xiaobao to love labor so much, let him go!

There are many types of wild vegetables, the most common is the tender shepherd's cabbage, Zhou Xiaoyun deliberately picked up some 'fat' tender and large pieces and put them on the side, ready to go home and chop them up and add some 'meat' dumplings to eat.

In her previous life, she loved to eat dumplings with this kind of filling.

There are wild vegetables everywhere, there is no need to pick them, they don't need to pick them, they just cut them directly with a small sickle, and after a while, everyone will return with a full load, and after making an appointment to come again in the afternoon, several people will go home.

In the evening, Zhou Xiaoyun specially scalded the shepherd's cabbage with boiling water, removed the astringency and then chopped it, and then used his own small grinding 'meat' machine to grind more than a pound of 'meat' filling, and added salt and oil 'essence' to reconcile the filling.

Rolling dumpling wrappers has always been Zhao 'Yu' Zhen's job, and her hands kept coming out one by one. Zhou Guoqiang took a few children into battle, the dumplings made by Zhou Xiaoyun are small and beautiful, and it is good if the big treasure and small treasure bag come out without cracking.

However, the dumplings taste so good! There is an indescribable fragrance.
