As a result, Lao Ma's family never promised anything to the outside, always saying that their children are still young, and it is important to study, as for starting a family, it is a matter of the future, and it is not too late to start a family when the child has a reputation for studying; He also said that the three sons in the family have already run away, and they are counting on this child to be able to shine on the lintel in the future, so they hope to bear with them and so on.

In this way, it gave a lot of self-righteous high-ranking families the opportunity to talk about things further, and gave them a little bit of hope, so Lao Ma did not offend anyone, and this family affair was never done, but the business of the Ma family's crispy meat is getting better and better.

All this, Lao Ma has credited this income to Ma Decao's son, and often nagged the wives who have become round and have just married into the door and have not yet become round, saying that Ma Decao is the lucky star of the Ma family.

This lucky star finally had bad luck one day.

It was a winter morning, and after the north wind had howled all night, there was a layer of frost on the trees, on the houses, on the roads, on the stones, and even on the forage in the barn.

The peasants in Majia Village are accustomed to working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and they have been busy for three seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

At night, the men and women tossed around blindly for the future children on hot kang heads for half the night, and they were tired, so they were still asleep; And the current children in the family eat roasted sweet potatoes around the fire at night, and they are full of wrestling on the kang and tossing for half the night, and they are also tired, and they are still asleep, so the whole village is sleeping.

At this time, the old horse couldn't sleep.

Because yesterday, when he was making small crispy meat, he knew that there was not much meat in the meat tank at home (after the pig was killed, the meat was cut into pieces and all put in the big tank), and it was time to kill the pig this morning.

So he got dressed, went into the big kitchen, filled the cauldron with seven or eight buckets of water, and started to make a fire.

Soon the heat steamed, wrapping the old horse, and the old horse was like a fairy old man in the clouds. The heat bubbled out of the kitchen and gathered around the kitchen, quickly dissipating in the cold air of the early morning.

The old horse lifted the lid of the pot and reached out to test the water in the pot, it was so hot! Almost! The old horse came out of the kitchen and went to the pigsty to see which pig was going to be killed.

Pigs are very intelligent animals, if there is a little training, the pig will develop a good living habits, where to sleep, where to eat, where to lazar, can have a fixed place. People often say, "Look at you, dirty as a pig!" "Actually, I wronged the pigs.

Lao Ma is such a person who can train pigs. It's no wonder that pigs have to make a fortune, so pigs are naturally researched and cultivated. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Far away, let's move on to the old horse choosing pigs.

When the old horse opened the door of the pigsty, he saw seven or eight white pigs and black pigs, all curled up in the middle of the thatch, snoring and sleeping soundly! The old horse spotted a big fat pig, and was about to beat it up to slip away in order to expel the stool, but at this moment, these pigs suddenly snorted, all of them crawled up, circled in the circle, and tried to rush out, if it wasn't for the old horse blocking the door, it is estimated that the two senior brothers would have to run away!

It's worth it! It's against you! The old horse hurriedly closed the door of the circle, and used a big wooden stick to say goodbye, and trotted all the way to call his eldest wife.

Here I want to explain, in the Majia crispy meat shop, the task of killing pigs is the wife of the old horse, and the other wives are all married by the old horse to fatten, only the old horse's wife is fat, when she first married the old horse, she is famous for being fat and strong, because she has the ability to kill pigs, so the father of the old horse, that is, the dead horse, the old horse who has died, feels that he can carry forward his own business, so he chose her.

"Boss! Top dog! Wake up! Our pigs are going to make trouble! The old horse knocked on his wife's window and shouted.

The eldest wife was dreaming of gnawing on the pig's head, and when she heard the word "pig", she got up as soon as she got up, put on her clothes and ran out, tucking the corners of her clothes as she ran: "What are you talking about!" Got in a circle? In this winter, a group of old men, what's the trouble? ”

The so-called "pig circle" of the common people refers to the fact that the grass pig (sow) sent an invitation, did not eat in the pen, and hummed to find her husband, and these pigs in their own pen are tooth pigs (boars after being slaughtered). Tooth pig winter, what kind of circle? So although the boss is full of fat, she can't say that she has a stupid head, she thinks it's impossible!

But when I came to the pigsty, I saw the pig scurrying around incessantly, and I wondered, and the big fat hand stroked/touched the big fat chin, fell into deep thought, and began to ponder: "Well, what's going on, what's the matter?" ……”

While the old horse couple was pondering, the two of them heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the sound of swords clanging, and the noisy human voices-eighty percent of them were running/horse bandits! The eldest wife connected the two things together, and immediately understood: "Well, no wonder it's a circle, it turns out that I heard that the horse bandits have arrived!" ”

The old horse hurriedly pulled his wife and said, "Run!" The horse bandits are coming! Tell the family to get up! As he spoke, he ran into the house and shouted in the yard, "The second, third, fourth, and fifth, wake up!" The horse bandits are coming! This sound didn't matter, the whole yard ran out, and the second child wrapped in the quilt lifted the curtain and came to the yard tremblingly; The third child ran out without even wrapping a quilt, and fell on the bluestone slab in the yard, looking up to the sky, but the slaves who ran out earlier saw the radiant scene of the eight forks in the sky; As for the fourth, he came out with his clothes, but unfortunately he didn't wear underwear underneath, which was a little indecent; For a while, the servant and maid stood in a courtyard, and Lao Ma didn't expect that he could hide so many people in his house, and it was indeed a bit difficult for this large army to be transferred, and the time to test the leadership of Lao Ma, the commander, had come!

"Are they all together? Check out each other! "Lao Ma looked at so many people who were slapping/popping, and he was very anxious.

So the yard began to chatter.

"Don't make a fuss! In the boss's room, are there all the people? "It's all right!"

"Where's the second room?" "It's all right, sir!"

"Where's the third child! What about the people in the fourth room? "It's all here, sir!"

"What about the fifth? Why don't you see the old five? ”

The fifth child was married home not long ago, and it should have been the sixth, just because the fifth child at the beginning, the water snake waist, the red phoenix eyes, and the ten-fingered slender sable cicada, looked too smart, and the voice was very sweet.
