When cooked, thinly sliced pork is dipped in garlic sauce and eaten.

The women told each other, "Cut it thinner, or you won't have enough to eat." ”

was heard by the passing men: "No matter how thin it is, it can't be clamped, can't you go out and eat both pigs?" ”

The old men in the oil shed pounding garlic couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, what beautiful thing did they think? Giving away a pig for the whole village to eat has never been done for decades.

There is one pig left, and the pig's head must be removed again to worship the ancestors. One hundred and sixteen households can share two catties of meat.

That's it, our pigs are still well raised, and a lot of oil swill is pulled back from the shop every day, and both are considered big fat pigs.

The stewed sauerkraut with big bone sticks is stewed, and the strong laborers are waving their arms to fry the cabbage fungus, and the snowflakes are falling in the pot.

There are also more than a dozen old ladies next to them who are constantly stirring the pig's blood with sorghum stalks to prevent the pig's blood from clotting.

Finally, I finally heard the voices of Liu Laozhu and a group of strong men returning from far and near.

Liu Laozhu missed the most lively scene, and many people said far away: "The big official came to give a New Year's gift to the chief owner's family." ”

Liu Laozhu was dressed like a mountain carving, and his cotton shoes were covered with ice, and he asked the Xu family: "When did it happen?" Why don't you catch up with the nobles when I'm not at home, it's not! ”

Did the Xu family have time to answer Liu Lizheng, they had to take half of the children to each house to carry firewood, and they also had to use the burden to pick up two rice and big cakes.

Xu Tianxin didn't have time to answer Grandpa Lizheng, she had already changed out of her pig-killing clothes and became a decent child again, and her sister Yueyue was washing her clothes at home.

And she herself is holding warm sleeves in both hands, and her small mouth is constantly moving. She was surrounded by a group of children under the age of six, and their mouths were moving.

Pork liver is just out of the pot and a piece is delicious when it is hot. If you cut it with a kitchen knife, it won't taste like that.

The men who came back later, didn't care about the fire to warm their hands and feet, so they picked up the newly picked fish and poured it into the basin, afraid that the pork would not be enough to eat, so we would stew the small fish with more sauce.

The big ones should be kept in bags and weighed, and when the time comes, the Xu family will pull the special varieties to the shop and freeze them for the guests to stew and eat. Ordinary fish are left in the village to make cotton-like meat floss.

The Xu family settled on the spot.

And this kind of fish caught in collective shifts, even the Xu family has to participate, you don't have time to work in tandem, but you can't go, no one can hide to make money, and all the income goes to the village committee.

When there is a lot of money saved, the village committee will pay everyone according to the work share, and if the money is small, they simply do not pay it, and buy some things that the village needs, and those who buy it also borrow money.

Not to mention the triangle iron that clears the snow in the village, the glaciers that catch fish, the newly made fishing nets, and the newly purchased wood and lanterns for next year's boats.

It is only said that even the red paper couplets to be pasted on the doors of each house this year, one set per household, are the money paid by the village. Each family buys red paper alone to stick the door of the house.

No, many villagers were busy waiting for the meal to start, and at the same time they were saying to Liu Jingdong, "Boy, you should help everyone write couplets." ”

"Huh? Why don't you look for Tian Xin'er. ”

"People are busy with business, but you are not busy."

The so-called serious matter, not that Xu Tianxin is busy making money during the New Year, but there are too many villagers who help in the Xu family, and everyone has heard from Mrs. Xu early on, like tonight, like tomorrow morning, the manpower on duty to take care of businessmen and customers will increase, and the Xu family will have to vacate manpower, because Tian Xin'er wants to burn paper, and Dapeng will also burn paper, Mrs. Xu will have to go to the grave to eat, and the three sons will drive to Xujiazhuang tomorrow morning to worship their ancestors.

The fourth master was greeting Liu Laozhu: "Come into the shed and warm up." ”

Suddenly patted Liu Laozhu on the shoulder with emotion: "You can rest today, and have a drink with your father and our father." After you finish eating, you go to the shop, chatting with the guests, asking what you need for the New Year in our village, and we will try our best to meet it. And then you ...... again."

And again and again, this is called a break, huh?

Yes, this is already a break for Liu Laozhu.

"Cheng, come, the fourth uncle, the seventh uncle, the uncles in the village are all seated, and our man's family will help make a meal. Dad? Tell you, don't look at it, drink while it's hot, my brother won't come back today, and he will sell donkeys in the town. ”

Daddy Liu had a smile on his face, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he wasn't looking at Boss Liu and his third son, the New Year was good, the days were sad, and it was normal for them to be busy making money and not going home.

He was uncomfortable for the pillar, and the grandson of Fucheng did not return. Listening to Jing Dong, he went to Fucheng to reload the goods and went to see his brother at night without anything. It turned out to be late, and his brother didn't come home.

I really don't understand, a grocery store, why can't it be opened well, I heard that I was involved with a housekeeper in a high-ranking family to do things, and I didn't say if I would go back for the New Year.

And now at this time, it seems that the eldest grandson will not come back for the New Year. What kind of kid is this? It's okay if he doesn't coax his father like that, but he didn't expect that even his daughter-in-law and children would not come back for the New Year.

In the shed, as the first group of people sat down to drink, more and more people gathered, and there was no fire or cold.

Xu Tianxin didn't serve it at all, she was already full, and the children were not qualified to serve it, so she was distributing sauerkraut soup with a piece of meat to her younger brothers and sisters with Chunfang and red dates.

Dozens of children squatted on the three floors inside and outside the campfire, laughing and eating so fragrantly, their little faces were cold and red, and they didn't dislike the cold when they held the rice bowl.

"Oh, it's so fragrant, old girl, give you pickle pimple strips."

There are also many people who have to wait for the second round, and the third round is from the first round to the first batch to get off the shop.

No, Xu Youyin was shouting to Tian Xin: "Go wow." ”

Xu Tianxin just wanted to replace the aunt who was the cashier, and he also had to bring some food to Grandpa Guan and the grandmother at the table. Grandpa Guan is boiling medicine for people with colds in the shop, and Grandpa Guan doesn't like to drink.

Xu Tianxin saw the figure in the distance and shouted to the uncle, "Wait a minute." ”

Xu Tianxin personally helped Grandpa Gao, who returned to the village, into the shed.

"Grandpa, don't forget to drink and take our grandfather."

That must give the child face: "Oh, Lao Gao, why did you come." ”

"I just finished burning the paper, and I didn't do any work for everyone, you said that this matter is neat, I didn't help anything when I came."

Gao Mantang and his wife were afraid that their ancestors and children would not have money to buy New Year's goods underground, and they were worried that occupying the crossroads at night and burning paper would hinder the villagers of Erdaohe.

Liu Laozhu sat at the head table and was obviously a little drunk, and grabbed Lao Gao with one hand to squeeze and sit next to him, while not forgetting to ask Xu Tianxin: "What about your milkman, there is no shadow again, and why don't you come to your grandmother." ”

The grandmother was afraid that more of the things given by the officials would be stolen, so she was careful and committed it again.

It's also changed, because the grandmother covered her mouth and said with a smile that she had been hungry at home for a long time, and she didn't miss that mouthful of meat, so she didn't come to squeeze and make a mess if her ribs didn't grow well, so it was better to look at the bronze mirror at home and see what she looked like. Find some more work. Before the arrival of the year, the daughter-in-law was busy, so she had to do more work at home.

As for Mrs. Xu, Xu Tianxin told the heavyweight village committee members at the headtable: "My grandmother is talking to Grandma Tian who is about to set off. ”
