Chu butcher's big name is Chu Gaojin, and he is responsible for killing pigs in the village, having said that, there are not many opportunities to kill pigs all year round, except for the month before the Spring Festival, which is busy, and the rest of the time is when there are red and white things in the village. Chu Butcher's wife is not bad-looking, and she is handsome in several villages. In his free time of the year, the two things he does most often are his wife and beating his wife.

Among the villages in the mountains, Pinggu Village is considered poor, except for a few pens of pigs raised collectively, there are very few pigs raised in individual homes. The pigs killed during the Spring Festival were shared by the village, and the number of shares was divided according to each household, and then the parts were selected by lot.

Even if it's a red and white thing, not every family will kill a whole pig. This time Zhang Xiaodong got married, although Zhang Chunlei had already stuffed the money into his pocket in advance, but for the happy event of this stupid nephew, he at least did enough to save face, and picked a big pig from the pigsty of the rich family in the next village and brought it back, spending 400 yuan.

When the butcher Chu came from a distance with the pig, the eyes of the villagers who came to help were straight. This year, in addition to the Chinese New Year, it is much more exciting to be able to eat meat once than to see a beautiful woman.

Four or five villagers with experience in killing pigs helped set up a cauldron at the gate of the courtyard, and then put the pigs on a bench. The butcher Chu put the basin under the pig's head, and skillfully stabbed it with a pig-killing knife in one hand, and the pig's blood filled the basin.

After that, scalding, shaving, disemboweling, separating the meat, step by step methodically.

……

Zhang Xiaodong, who had finished changing his clothes, had been pulled by Zhang Teng to the gate of the courtyard to greet the visitors.

In fact, he really wanted to call Yan Ruohua out of the house, the real purpose was to let her see the beautiful picture of killing pigs, after all, she was very autistic in the past few months, and she didn't have the heart to feel the customs and customs of this mountain village.

Zhang Xiaodong hopes that Yan Ruohua can settle down and spend this time in the mountains as easily as a farmhouse vacation, so that he can feel better.

However, according to the custom of their village, the bride is not allowed to leave the house before the ceremony begins, and he can only give up.

The peasants in the mountain villages are both cunning and simple, and in the villages of hundreds of households, some people get married and hold happy events, and at least one person from each family comes to join in the fun and support the scene.

As the sun rose, people from all over the village arrived, and the courtyard became lively. A makeshift earthen stove was also set up next to the cauldron outside, and a few more aunts helped chop vegetables and cook.

Zhang Teng has a lot of tasks today, and the second uncle is afraid that the fool Zhang Xiaodong will not be able to distinguish the people in the village, so he arranged for Zhang Teng to lead him throughout the process. When a guest came, he called first, and then Zhang Xiaodong learned to call again.

The people in the village are more or less related to each other, seeing that Zhang Xiaodong, a famous fool, has now become a groom official, and his spirit is raised, coupled with such a dress, he is still a little handsome, and he is a little embarrassed. Some of the eldest mothers who hugged him when they were young, looked at Zhang Xiaodong, who had grown up, and couldn't help but reddened their eyes with excitement, and said continuously: "Okay, good, your parents are happy to see you!" ”

However, there are also a few low-quality villagers who look down on them and are jealous, so they chew their tongues there in front of Zhang Xiaodong, and they don't take him seriously at all. What do you say that it is thanks to the death of my father and mother that I can get such a large amount of money, and I begged for a wife in a beautiful way, but a fool is a fool after all, and my daughter-in-law will not be able to live a good life with him in the future, and sooner or later she will have to steal a man.

Zhang Xiaodong's honest smile did not decrease, nor was he angry, that is, when an aunt passed by with the blood water that washed the pig's internal organs, he suddenly sprinkled it on the spot, and happened to spill the basin in the aunt's hand, giving the whispering good guest a little "joy".

"Oh, uncle, Dongzi is a fool, don't be like him, it's cold, go home and change your clothes first." Next to him, Zhang Teng hurriedly said embarrassedly.

The eyes of the person who came were round, and there was no way to attack, and he turned his head away with a scolding on his mouth, because of the smell of water on his body, the people who had just come over hurriedly covered their noses and flashed a way for him.

"Brother Teng! Silly Brother Dong! In the direction where the people came, a village girl with a delicate face jumped up, the girl wore a braided braid, wore a horse coat embroidered with red flowers, and her face was full of innocent smiles.

"Xiaoxia, why did you come first, where is your father and your brother?" Zhang Teng asked.

"Hee-hee, they're in the back with the village chief, and they'll be there soon. I think they're slow. The girl said with an eyebrow brow.

Zhang Xiaodong looked at the comer, and suddenly felt a little trance.

The Zhang family's own deceased grandfather had five children, four boys and one girl. Uncle Zhang Chunxiang, second uncle Zhang Chunfeng, aunt Zhang Chunyun, his father Zhang Chunyu, and fourth uncle Zhang Chunlei.

Zhang Xiaodong's father and his fourth uncle are the same age, so the relationship between the two families was the closest.

In their generation, the youngest two children became Zhang Xiaoxia, the youngest daughter of him and his fourth uncle's family, and Xiaoxia was two years younger than him.

When he was a child, although Zhang Xiaodong was also stupid, he did not have much of a gap with other children. When adults go to work in the fields, they often take the two children with them, playing in the mud together.

Zhang Xiaodong had a lot of strength, digging the pit deep and big, digging through the middle of the two pit and pouring water into it, just like the dam, so that Xiaoxia couldn't worship it, so he became his loyal little follower. However, as he grew older, Zhang Xiaodong was still stupid, and Xiaoxia didn't worship him so much, but the relationship between the two was still very close, someone teased Zhang Xiaodong, and Xiaoxia was the first to stand up for him.

After Zhang Xiaodong left the mountains in his previous life, he heard that Xiaoxia married to the next village, but when they met again, the other party did not have a good time, and he lost the flying spirit when he was a girl.

"Silly Brother Dong? Silly Dongge? What do you think, if you don't keep your soul, you won't still be smacking last night's Spring Festival with your sister-in-law, right? Saying things that did not match her age, the girl Zhang Xiaoxia looked narrow.

"Xiaoxia, you're right. This stupid boy glanced around the house in the morning, and he really didn't know what kind of ecstasy his brother and sister had given him. Zhang Teng also agreed.

"Silly Brother Dong, this is a stupid person with a stupid fortune, the bride price of 5,000 was not happy with the girls in our village at that time, but the sister-in-law was much more handsome than these local girls. My father said, this time Mrs. Li made a big effort to wrap her in a big red envelope! Xiao Xia said with a smile.

"If you hear your girl's voice from afar, you have a loud voice!"

Zhang Chunlei's voice suddenly came from behind Xiao Xia.

Zhang Xiaodong looked over, and his fourth uncle Zhang Chunlei walked over with Wang Shan, the village chief of Pinggu Village, and behind them were Zhang Xiaohu, the son of the fourth uncle, and his daughter-in-law, as well as Wang Xu, the only son of the village chief. However, he noticed that Wang Xu's expression was a little gloomy, and he was staring at him with an unhappy face.

"Chunlei, Xiaoxia has also grown up, after the happy event for Xiaodong today, the only thing left for you is this money-losing girl." Wang Shan was on crutches with a lovely smile.

"Brother Wang, I have to rely on you to tell me a good family business." Zhang Chunlei answered with a smile.

"That's what I said, where is my turn, isn't Xiaodong's daughter-in-law coming back this time, the village next door has spread, and it is said that in the future, let Li Matchmaker talk about her daughter-in-law. Eh, speaking of which, is Mrs. Li here? Wang Shan asked.

"No, Mrs. Li was very busy, and said that this bride was in harmony with her life, and she couldn't see her often, so she didn't come. I had already asked Xiaohuzi to send red envelopes in the morning. Zhang Chunlei said, and then stepped forward and dragged Zhang Xiaodong, who was pretending to be playing with his fingers, and instructed:

"Dong, Uncle specially invited Village Chief Wang to preside over your wedding this time. Village Chief Wang also said that there is a new land policy in the village, and your newly formed family, the benefits of the policy will give priority to you, so it should be regarded as a gift for your newlyweds, why don't you thank you Uncle Wang? ”

Oh, sure enough, it's still here, whether it's a benefit or not, you two know it in your hearts.

Zhang Xiaodong sneered in his heart, but his face was as simple as before, and he recited aloud:

"Thank you, Uncle Wang! Uncle Wang is so good to me! ”

"Hahahaha!" Wang Shan and Zhang Chunlei laughed together with satisfaction.

"Brother Xu too, last night Brother Xu came all the way to make trouble in my cave room!" Zhang Xiaodong continued to finish his words.

"Uh...... Hahaha. The laughter ended hastily, Zhang Chunlei's face was a little embarrassed, Wang Xu, who was standing behind, showed an expression like eating a fly, but Wang Shan was determined, skipped the topic and said:

"It's almost time to figure out the auspicious time, have all the people arrived, should we prepare and start the ceremony?"

"Good! Good! Don't stand at the door, let's go in and sit. Tengzi, you bring Dongzi in, Xiaohuzi, you go and talk to the people who set off the artillery, let's start! Zhang Chunlei went down the slope and shouted on the donkey.
