Xu Chenghou knew that his son's family had built a new house, and it would not look good to get some old-fashioned furniture.

So I went to Songjiang River and chatted with people for a long time under the pretext that I wanted to make furniture at home.

After coming back, he made furniture for Xu Shiyan according to the most popular style at present.

Large wardrobes, standing cabinets, chest of drawers, coffee tables, cupboards, writing desks, kang tables, side stands, chairs, stools.

When Xu Shiyan came back from the mountain, the old man had already made a few large items, and the rest happened to be busy with the two of them.

In mid-January, Xu Shixiang returned from winter vacation.

also brought back a set of JDZ fine porcelain tea sets to Xu Shiyan, which was very beautiful, even if it was a congratulatory gift to Xu Shiyan.

When the fifth child came back, the grandfather and his wife made furniture together, or helped Xu Shixian clean up the house.

I also have to prepare feed for a few open-mouthed beasts at home, and I'm very busy every day anyway.

It's so busy, and soon it's the end of the year.

The team killed pigs and divided the meat, and the individual families also began to kill pigs, make tofu, and were busy preparing for the New Year.

The Xu family caught two pigs in the spring, and raised them for just 200 catties a year, which was still mixed with the wisps to feed it.

Xu Shiyan discussed with his daughter-in-law, one of the two pigs was killed a year ago, and the other was killed when spring began.

I was busy in the spring, I was tired, and I didn't eat well and didn't have oil and water, so it was better to kill it at that time and keep more meat at home.

"The Great Age of Genes"

Xu Shiyan moved to Donggang since he was beaten, and was taken care of by the leaders of the brigade and the neighbors, no matter what happened at home, people came to help.

So when he killed pigs a few years ago, Xu Shiyan planned to invite Yu Shouguang and other people from the brigade, as well as neighbors and friends who got along well.

Killing pigs for guests has always been a custom, Su Anying doesn't care about this, Xu Shiyan will do what he says.

So, Xu Shiyan notified Yu Shouguang and others in advance and asked them to come to the house for dinner on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month.

also went to the Han family and invited the old man of the Han family and the Han Limin brothers.

happened to catch up with Han Liwei, the third child of the Han family, to go home to visit relatives, Xu Shiyan said that he would go over together to join in the fun.

On the morning of the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Zhao Jianjian, Yang Chunming, Huang Shengli and others all came to Xu's house.

They went into the pigsty, took out the pigs that had been hungry for a day and had not been fed, tied them to a bench, and killed them.

The big guys cleaned up together, and the house was also busy cooking.

Xu Shiqin, who works in a tailor shop, has to ask for leave to help at home.

Over at the tailor shop, in fact, after the fifteenth day of the lunar month, there will be no work, and it is approaching the end of the year, who has nothing to do?

So Xu Shiqin asked for leave, and the master happily agreed.

The men were busy killing pigs and shaving their hair, disemboweling their innards, disassembling pork and cutting bones.

The women cut sauerkraut, received pig blood, cleaned the pigs and unloaded, and prepared to fill the sausages and stew the heads and hooves to unload.

Originally, Su Anying was going to clean the pigs and unload the goods, but Xu Jinping, who was sleeping on the kang, woke up and cried, and had no choice but to coax the child first.

Xu Shiqin saw that he went to the well in the yard with a pot of pig intestines, intending to press the water to clean it.

At the pressurized water well, a man in a grass-green uniform was fetching a bucket of water and carrying it to leave, and the two of them walked to a meeting.

"You want to fetch water? I'll help you. ”

When the other party saw Xu Shiqin, he hurriedly put down the bucket and stepped forward to help Xu Shiqin bring the pig to the pressurized water well.

Then press the handle hard, and press up the clear well water with a bang.

Xu Shiqin didn't know each other, but he also knew that this should be his brother's friend.

She must thank them for their help. So he smiled at the other party, "Thank you." ”

The young man opposite glanced at Xu Shiqin, was stunned, and then nodded.

"You wash first, if you still fetch water for a while, call me."

Xu Shiqin and Xu Shiyan look a little similar, and at first glance, you know that they are brother and sister.

The other party didn't say anything else, and didn't wait for Xu Shiqin to answer, turned around and left with a bucket.

Xu Shiqin didn't react a little, looked at the other party's tall back, stunned for a few seconds, then smiled, moved the basin to the side, and began to clean the pig's intestines.

By the time Su Anying had fed her daughter and came out, Xu Shiqin had already rubbed the pig intestines twice with plant ash, and was scrubbing them again.

The two sisters-in-law worked together, cleaned them with vinegar again, and then put the water twice before taking them back to fill the blood sausage.

Killing pigs for a treat, then you must eat authentic pig-killing dishes.

Sour cabbage meat and blood sausage, and then a platter of pig offal, pig's head meat or something.

The dish doesn't have to be exquisite, as long as it's full, open, and two bottles of good wine, it's great.

On the east house kang, there was a table on the ground, and everyone gathered together to push cups and change lamps, drink and punch, which was particularly lively.

Han Wenzhong is very famous for participating in the field, not to mention that the three sons of his family are all outstanding, and Yu Shouguang and others are familiar with them.

A few older people get together, and the more they talk, the more speculative they become.

The first time Xu Chenghou and Han Wenzhong met, they felt that the two of them had a good temper, and chatted while drinking.

Han Wenzhong praised Xu Shiyan for his filial piety and ability, and Xu Chenghou praised the three sons of the Han family for their talents.

Anyway, men drink wine and praise each other.

The table of young people on the ground is also very lively, although Han Limin, Yang Chunming and others have not seen it before, but friends of friends are friends.

Northeast people never know each other at the wine table, as long as they drink together today, they will be friends from now on, and it is easy to talk about something.

"Limin, where did your brother become a soldier?

The young man is really good-looking, do you have a partner? If there is no object, I will introduce my sister-in-law to him. ”

Yang Chunming drank a lot of wine and was a little upset, so he hooked up with Han Limin and asked about Han Lizhi's situation with a smile.

Han Limin didn't drink less, and when he heard people inquire about his younger brother, he immediately laughed.

"You say my third child? He was only twenty-two and eighteen to be a soldier, and he was on Shenyang's side.

I don't have a child, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. ”

Generally speaking, it is still small and not in a hurry, and most of them are excuses to shirk.

Yang Chunming understood as soon as he heard it, his sister-in-law was a rural girl, and the Han family was a worker who participated in the field.

The shoulders of the two families are not ordinary, and he is reckless.

"Yes, yes, my brother is young and has a bright future, so it's not good to think about it too early."

Yang Chunming said a word along the way, and then poured wine for Han Limin, and the two of them continued to drink.

As the protagonist of being talked about, Han Liwei didn't drink much.

He has a good ear, don't look at the room is so lively, everyone is talking very loudly, and he can still hear the conversation between the eldest brother and others.

Han Liwei lowered his eyes and looked at the blood sausage in the sauerkraut basin in front of him.

"Brother Xu, come, I'll toast you.

In the past few days since I came back, I often heard my father mention Brother Xu, saying that Brother Xu is a good person, smart and transparent, and his heart and eyes are still real, and he is worth befriending. ”

Han Liwei picked up the wine glass, approached Xu Shiyan, and greeted Xu Shiyan with a smile.

Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and quickly picked up the wine glass.

"Where, it's just an old peasant, a little bit clever.

Compared to it, no one is as capable as the three of you, Uncle Han is so blessed.

Come, let's not respect anyone, let's go. ”

After speaking, the two of them touched their wine glasses and drank their glasses of wine.

"Brother Xu, how many brothers do you have? I don't even know each other. Han Liwei asked casually.
