Xu Ying, who was standing behind Xu's mother, stuck out her tongue helplessly.

Liu Yi smiled and hurriedly smiled: "Oh, mother, Wei Min is a soldier, and it is his responsibility to protect his family and the country, not to mention, Wei Min himself is also a loyal person, so it is inevitable to go on a mission, and what we can do is naturally wait for him to come back." He told me the last time he left, and he would definitely be able to come back in half a year. ”

Mother Xu was full of suspicion when she heard this.

"Really? Now that you two are talking nonsense and have joined forces to lie to me, I dare not believe you. ”

Liu Yi nodded. "Really, it's more true than pearls, and besides, didn't you go there yesterday? Surely you know some of the details, right? ”

Mother Xu sighed when she heard this. "When I went, they treated me well, but when they heard that I asked Wei Min when he would come back, they didn't squeak. You say, Wei Min shouldn't be in any danger, right? ”

As soon as Xu Mu's words fell, Xu Ying sat down and hurriedly snorted a few times.

"Mother, what are you talking nonsense? How can you say something unlucky during the Chinese New Year? ”

Mother Xu hurriedly reacted, patted her mouth, and muttered, "Bah, what you said just now doesn't count, what you said just now doesn't count." ”

Liu Yi smiled. "Mother, when will our family kill pigs?"

Mother Xu pondered. "I wanted to wait for Wei Min to come back, but since he hasn't been here for a while, we won't wait, let's go and kill the pig tomorrow, just finish the sausages and everything, and then have a good New Year."

Liu Yi nodded.

"It just so happened that Yingzi was brought back by me, and you can leave after this time."

Xu Ying pursed her mouth angrily when she heard this.

"Mother, so you don't want me? Calling me back to do your coolies? ”

Xu Mu nodded. "Do you think I called you back to see you?"

"Well, I'm being amorous."

"By the way, mother, since you're back, let's discuss the matter of repairing the house, right?"

Mother Xu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and it took a long time to react to what Liu Yi said.

"Fix the house?"

Liu Yi nodded. "You see that now we are all making money, let's build the house first, it just so happens that we are all here, and it will be warm in spring."

"Our family has money? I don't have a thousand there, and Weimin doesn't have an allowance during this time, so Yingzi's money will be saved as a dowry, so you still keep the money to raise your children in the future, right? I will save my money for you. ”

Liu Yi was still quite moved when she heard this, and smiled.

"Don't worry, mother, since I brought it up, then I must have a deposit in my hand, not to mention, I don't need your money. This house in the countryside is built for you to retire for, and if you don't want to go to the city in the future, you can live here. ”

Xu Mu shook her head. "I am naturally staying here, if you have a child in the future, I will go to the city to bring you a child, the child can get rid of it, I will come back, raise chickens and ducks every day, and live a leisurely life."

Liu Yi smiled, hugged Xu's arm and shook it.

"Mother, can you find someone to come and see Feng Shui? It's better to see how the new house is oriented, and we'll do it. ”

Mother Xu was still in a trance and couldn't believe it.

"Really repaired the house?"

Xu Ying next to him really couldn't stand it. "Mother, since my sister-in-law said it, it means that you are prepared, after killing the pig, you can go find someone to take a look, if the money is not enough, I still have it there."

Liu Yi nodded. "I remember, when the time comes, the money is really not enough, I will not be polite."

Xu Ying knew that Liu Yi was joking with her, after all, she knew all about Liu Yi's progress.

Smiling, Xu Ying patted his chest.

"Definitely."

Early the next morning, Liu Yi was woken up by the sound of pigs outside, and hurriedly got up to wash, and the courtyard was already bustling outside.

Xu Ying also yawned and walked out of the bedroom, and when she saw Liu Yi, she shook her head.

"It's so noisy......"

"You haven't rested all this time, have you? I heard that the business at the new store is very good, and you must be very busy working there now. ”

"It's okay, it's mainly because you have the money to take it."

The two of them were talking and laughing, when they saw that four or five big men in the yard had already pressed the pigs down on the pig killing board.

The pig killer took a pig-killing knife, walked over in a hurry, picked up a large basin and put it under his neck, the white knife went in, and the red knife came out.

The pig trembled twice at first, and then remained motionless.

The pig's blood in the large basin also filled most of the basin.

This is the first time Liu Yi has seen killing pigs since she was reborn, and the memory of killing pigs is already very far away, so she was so excited that she ran to a short distance to observe quietly.

After the pig was dead, Mother Xu hurriedly went over to take away the pig's blood, and the pig killer picked up the air gun that he had brought over a long time ago, and began to pump air into the pig's limbs.

Liu Yi still can't figure out why she wants to pump air into the pig's body, maybe it is to save some energy when she shaves the pig's hair later?

After pumping up, several men carried the pig directly to a dirt pit in the far side of the yard.

It was a U-shaped pit dug on the top of the field before the pig was killed, and a large cauldron was set up on it, and water was placed in the pot, and a fire was burning underneath, and the water was boiled and waiting for the pig to be scalded.

After scalding the pig and shaving, several men worked together to hang the pig on the persimmon tree in the yard.

The pig killer began to disembowel, and Liu Yi stood next to him and watched with relish.

"What are you doing standing here, girl? Why don't you go in and help cook? With so many people, you can't just rest at home and let the guests come, right? ”

When Mother Xu came over to get the pork, she saw Liu Yi standing next to her, and she couldn't help but speak.

Liu Yi smiled wryly and hurriedly followed.

The custom here is to kill the pig, and invite nearby relatives and neighbors to come over to taste it, so there are quite a lot of people, and it is estimated that two or three tables must be set.

There are also a lot of people needed, and when they saw Liu Yi coming in, the aunts all began to praise with smiles.

Liu Yi was actually a little embarrassed when she heard it in her ears, so she blocked it directly, and she didn't raise her head twice until they called her name.

After finishing the kitchen, after eating, everyone left, and Mother Xu took Liu Yi and Xu Ying to deal with the rest of the meals, and then looked at the basket of several baskets of pork in difficulty.

"Are we going to get all the pork sausages in one go today? Or do you come in batches? ”

Xu Ying thought for a moment. "Let's do it all at once, I don't want to move tomorrow, just stay up all night tonight."

Liu Yi looked at the small intestine hanging on the wall.

"Why don't you get the sausages tomorrow? Today we will boil out the lard, and the bacon will be baked. ”
