It has just entered winter, and the weather has been cold for a few days, and Sun Jun's family, the only one in Tashan Village who still raises pigs, is going to kill pigs.

Early in the morning, I packed up a few children, put on a goose-yellow down jacket, a white hat and gloves, and followed the village chief, ready to go to Sun Jun's house to watch the excitement.

Although it is snowing now, in winter, the temperature outside during the day is about minus 10 degrees, which is not too cold, so we saw many villagers walking towards Sun Jun's house along the way.

On the road, everyone greeted each other, I found the feeling of being an official wife for the first time, the eldest sister-in-law and the little daughter-in-law can praise me vigorously, from appearance to dress, from family to husband, there is no fall, I deeply feel at this moment, the difference between high-level families, the appearance that was said before, is now praised as a delicate and elegant temperament, very official wife's fan,

The big family that was disliked by people was now praised as a five-good family, and it was said that I, the village chief's wife, had skills, and my own mother and mother-in-law could coexist peacefully under one roof. They praised Jiang Zhi emphatically, saying that he was capable, talented, hardworking, and righteous, and most importantly, he cared about me meticulously and loved his children.

Although I was very happy to hear it, who doesn't like to be patted on the back, but I'm still very puzzled, how do they know that Jiang Zhi cares about me meticulously, when we are outside, we behave like many old husbands and wives, the tacit understanding is more than intimate enough, and I am also very face-saving to Jiang Zhi in front of outsiders, they are all very small women I behave, Jiang Zhi is a very big man. I couldn't help but mutter. Could it be that there is a mole in our family, then there is no second choice except Li Cheng.

Under their flickering, I walked to Sun Jun's house with the soles of my feet in a flash.

To say that this Sun Jun is worthy of being a migrant worker who has been in the city for a few years. There is still a certain amount of brains, when he helped to plant rice for our family, he knew that he could not go back to the city, he personally went to the county, and after coming back, he went to other villages to catch several little piglets, and at home while planting, while going to the field to cut grass and raise pigs.

At the driest time of summer. Someone pleaded with him and killed a few pigs in the house. There is not enough water in the field, how can there be extra water to feed the pigs, or it will be a pity to die of thirst. But Sun Jun gritted his teeth and held on, except for the water in the field, the family drank less water, and later we sent him a few ice cubes. This is the most difficult period.

It's cold now. It was snowing, there was nowhere to mow the grass, and it was impossible to feed the pigs for food, so he chose to kill the pigs at this time.

When the weather is cold, if no one buys pork, you can also freeze it and keep it at home to eat slowly, so killing pigs at this time should be the most suitable.

We've come to the time. It hasn't started yet, but one of the pigs has already been tied to the bench. Sun Jun watched us coming. Leaving the man who was talking, he ran at us.

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, you're here." Sun Jun grinned when he saw us.

"Well, how can we not come on such a big day, but we came, and we also brought a few snacks from home, you weren't scared." I said jokingly.

"How can it, sister-in-law, look at what you said, I just wanted to invite you to go." Sun Jun rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"Please, your sister-in-law and I will come and see, if you need help?" Jiang Zhi looked at him and said.

"No, no, it's all arranged, you can come to help me, I'm happy." Sun Jun hurriedly shook his hand and said that there were enough people to help.

We know that Sun Jun is very grateful to us, just because we helped him in his most difficult time. In fact, we also listened to Chen Ming's big mouth, and only then did we know that Sun Jun's family lacked water, and pigs and people were going to die of thirst.

Jiang Zhi said at the time that Sun Jun is a good person, he is a capable person, and we have to help, so the next day Jiang Zhi and Li Cheng sent a few ice cubes to his family, and they will also send them every once in a while in the future.

Sun Jun was very grateful to us at that time, and he had to say that when the pigs were raised, he would give our family a whole head. Of course, Jiang Zhi resigned, our family is not short of meat, and we don't want to get anything in return for helping him, we just think that others are good, so we can help if we can.

Sun Jun did not disappoint us, and then he looked for all kinds of opportunities to return this favor, when our family cut rice, he also came early to help, and did not go home with us at noon, he went home to eat by himself, and went to help in the afternoon. Chen Ming also secretly told us that when choosing the village head, Sun Jun also supported Jiang Zhi.

We are very relieved to have helped such an informed and interesting person, not that we are happy when people repay us, but I think this matter should have a relationship, if it is just us blindly paying, Sun Jun should receive a share, I think it will never last long, not from me.

Today, Sun Jun's family killed pigs, and we also came to support the personal market, of course, if there is any extra meat, we can buy some.

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, sit in the house, you will kill the pig immediately, and I will not accompany you." There was already someone in the courtyard calling Sun Jun, and he hurriedly arranged for us to go to work.

"It's okay, you go get busy, your sister-in-law hasn't seen the killing of pigs, and she wants to see the excitement." Jiang Zhi casually made an excuse, Sun Jun glanced at it with admiration, and went off.

I tilted my head and glared at Jiang Zhi, this villain is using me as an excuse again, I haven't seen killing pigs yet, I've killed pigs myself.

But the two of us are killing pigs in the space, and the atmosphere is really different with so many people, and this person is shouting louder than the pigs.

Jiang Zhi and I walked over and looked at the other pigs in the pigsty, my heart was not envious, even if I had more and fatter than these in the space, and the pork in the ring could be calculated by using mountains, I still couldn't help but be envious.

Looking at the four adult pigs in the pigsty, Jiang Zhi and I said, "Old Jiang, how many pigs should we feed in the next year?" ”

Jiang Zhi looked at me with a smile and said, "Are you sure, this pig has a great taste in the summer." ”

My heart immediately retreated, but I was a little unwilling, and I was not sure to say: "Didn't our dad also make a manure pit in the backyard, and I didn't smell anything in the house this day, if we want to raise pigs, we can also build the pigsty away from the main house." ”

"What about the pig's rations, we can't give the pigs rice and white noodles, at this time people can't eat enough, let's feed the pigs these, but we will be damned." Jiang Zhi said.

"Whatever Sun Jun's family feeds, let's feed it." I didn't think it was a thing in the first place.

"Sun Jun's family fed the pigs grass for half a year, but this is not a light job, unlike our cattle and sheep, as long as our children are driven out, they can eat grass, Sun Jun's family is Sun Jun and his parents got up early and greedy to cut the grass and come back to feed, just like that, raised for more than half a year, and it was only more than 100 catties." Jiang Zhi told me about the hard work of raising pigs.

"Well, it seems that if you want to raise pigs, you must first solve the problem of feed." I touched my chin and looked at the pigsty that was still arching in the trough, and I didn't know that my life was coming to an end.

"yes, you can use your little brain and think about it, now let's go there and have a look." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he took me to the pig killing site.

The pig killing scene in the courtyard of Sun Jun's house was full of people, comparable to a bazaar. It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively village, so everyone braves the cold and comes by stepping on the snow.

Jiang Zhi and I had just returned to the scene when we heard someone shouting in the courtyard, "Lao Sun, do you want to buy this pork, how can you buy it?" ”

Lao Sun is Sun Jun's father, Sun Jun and his father have already prepared the scale, and at this time he also shouted next to him with the scale: "4 catties of rice for a catty of meat, two catties of rice for a catty of bones." ”

"What about the pigs going into the water?"

"It's the same price as meat, and that thing is delicious when it's handled."

After Sun Jun and his father and grandson finished speaking, some people shouted that it was too expensive, but I don't think it was expensive, a year ago, pork was sold for 13 to 15 yuan a catty, and rice was 3 to 4 yuan a catty.

I wanted to help Sun Jun's family, so I asked Lao Sun loudly: "Uncle Sun, there are only 5 pigs in your family, how much meat have you killed?" ”

"Hehe, this year's pig will be fed grass, and it will not grow fat, only 100 catties per head, so it will be less than 700 catties in total, which is still gross weight, if it is killed, the net weight will be about 600 catties." Although Uncle Sun said this, there was a smile on his face that could not be hidden.

"Oh, there are a total of 50 households in our village, so isn't it 12 catties of meat on average, so how can it be enough to eat, it will be New Year's Day in a few days, and then the New Year, this has been hard for a year, how to eat some meat for the New Year." I said loudly, and then turned back to ask Jiang Zhi.

"Old ginger, we have a lot of family, let's buy more, anyway, when we pay grain in the autumn, we can save a lot."

"Okay, after killing in a while, let's buy 100 catties, no matter how we have to let the old people and children eat a good meal, and have a good New Year." Jiang Zhi knew my intentions and said very cooperatively.

Other villagers looked at our mouth and asked for 100 catties, which is equivalent to eating more and occupying more, they were afraid that they would not buy it in the end, so they all squeezed to Uncle Sun, this one asked for 5 catties of pork, and that one wanted a pig's head, and Uncle Sun was stunned for a while.

"Wait, wait, let's stop first, I can't remember what you said now, wait a while to kill the pig, you tell Sun Jun to go, and I will be responsible for giving you a name." Uncle Sun shook his head again and again in the face of everyone's incessant shouting.

Sun Jun also stood up at this time, and said to everyone: "Don't be busy, let's kill the pigs first, and then call everyone one by one, come first and come first, if there is no place to be hearted, don't be angry, what meat is not eaten, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, as long as it's meat, it's any meat." Chen Ming shouted in the crowd.

After that, the killing of pigs officially began. (To be continued......)
