Chapter 159: A Man Tied Up by a Group of Pigs
The sky gradually darkened, the north wind was howling, the snow was falling heavier, and Uncle Dajian on the roof and the five uncles in the team were still busy in the wind and snow.
After learning the news from Aunt Yang Liu, the team leader came over several times to check on the progress and promised to pay for all the repairs. He left the Youth League Home only when he saw that the work was almost completed.
He said he was going to remind other members of the team to check their houses so that they could make plans early if the situation in their Youth League Home occurred again.
Ning Xiyue walked out of the public kitchen of the Youth League Institute and looked up at the roof. Uncle Dajian had already laid the last tile, keeping the wind and snow from outside out.
"Oh, done."
At the moment it fell, Uncle Dajian and several other uncles cheered a few times, with joyful smiles on their faces. They were happy for everyone's hard work and were glad that their Youth Home had avoided this disaster.
Finally, the roof replacement work of the Youth League House was completed before the snowstorm hit completely.
Seeing that this was done, Ning Xiyue ran to the kitchen with a smile on her face, fetched a basin of hot water, and shouted to everyone:
"Uncles, come and wash your hands and drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Comrades Zhao Jianshe and Wang Jiandong came over with tea and coarse bowls and served tea and water to the uncles.
Xia Zhipeng stood by with a feather duster and a towel, sweeping the snow off the bodies of several uncles who had packed up their tools.
After sweeping away the snow and washing their hands, the six uncles each held a bowl of steaming hot ginger tea and drank it. Their fingers, which had turned red and numb from the cold, gradually warmed up and regained consciousness.
"Uncles, you can come over for dinner. Dinner is ready. Come and sit over here, it's warmer." Wu Guifang walked out of the big kitchen on the side, pointed to the dining room next to it, and invited all the uncles.
"Uncle, let's go and eat first. We have to thank all the uncles and aunts today. Fortunately, we have you, otherwise we would have a hard time this winter."
Ning Xiyue chatted with them while leading them to the dining hall.
Today's meal was prepared by all the educated youth in the courtyard, each of whom contributed some food and dishes. It might not be very rich, but at least it was enough to entertain guests.
If the number of dishes is not enough, make up for it with the portion size.
There were six people on Uncle Dajian's side, and with all the educated youth there were fifteen people in total. There were five dishes on the table, two meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes. Although the quantity was not large, they were all super large portions. The dishes were served in a large basin, which was about one size smaller than a washbasin, but was completely enough for the meal.
Ning Xiyue contributed all the remaining oil residue from the basin that she had distributed earlier today. She had no shortage of meat, but she had never eaten the oil residue, so she simply took out all the oil residue today.
The other people in the Youth League Institute were very grateful when they saw this.
There was also a piece of bacon, which was wild boar smoked bacon that everyone in the Youth League pooled their money to buy from Ning Xiyue. Ning Xiyue charged a friendly price.
The other dishes and food for the chef and his friends were prepared by the remaining educated youth.
This is how the two meat dishes were made: stir-fried cabbage with oil residue and stir-fried bacon with dried mushrooms.
All three vegetarian dishes were sprinkled with a little oil residue, which can be considered as a meaty flavor. The fried vegetarian dishes are more fragrant.
The uncles were freezing red in the freezing cold snow as they worked to speed up the work in their hospital. No matter what, they had to be treated to a meal, otherwise it would be unacceptable.
When they walked to the dining hall, Uncle Dajian and the other uncles saw the large pots of meat on the table, which were obviously filled with meat, and the rice was also dried sweet potato rice. The smiles on their faces became even more intense, and they felt relieved.
It was worth it for them to work overtime on it in the cold and snowy weather.
As the representative of the Youth Institute, Zhao Jianshe stood up with a bowl of ginger tea to express his gratitude to the uncles: "Uncles, thank you for your help. I will toast you with tea instead of wine."
"It's what we should do, neighbors, and we should say thank you."
Uncle Dajian also raised his cup of tea with a smile on his face on behalf of the other uncles.
The guests enjoyed the meal very much.
All the food on the table was eaten, and the soup in the bowl was mixed with rice. It was so clean that you could look in the mirror.
Ning Xiyue thought that there were too many dishes to finish, but it seemed that she underestimated the appetite of people of this era.
After seeing off the guests, the next step is to clean up the scene.
The men went to clean up the wood chips in the yard, and the women cleaned up the dishes after the meal. Only after all this was done did everyone feel at ease.
Everyone took a shower and had a rest.
Ning Xiyue saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it would definitely be freezing in the second half of the night.
He turned around and went back to his kitchen, fed Xiao Hui, and then lit up the kang. It was so cold that he didn't dare to sleep unless the kang was warm.
The temperature dropped suddenly, who knows if I would freeze to death in my sleep.
Chen Yetu brought a bundle of firewood from her kitchen to Ning Xiyue to help with the big kang they slept on.
She didn't have a fire, and was afraid that her little white dog would freeze to death, so she brought him over to sleep next to little gray dog.
Ning Xiyue didn't say anything, she knew Xiao Hui would take action.
The little white dog trembled as he walked out of the nest next to the little gray dog, and tugged at Chen Yechu's trouser leg and whined, but he didn't dare to go over.
"Hey, Xiaobai, why are you shivering? Don't be afraid, Xiaohui won't bully you. It's warm over there." Chen Yetu squatted down and touched the dog's back to comfort him.
Little Gray glanced at it arrogantly, and continued to sleep with his head buried in his warm nest, ignoring everyone.
Ning Xiyue inexplicably sensed a domineering aura emanating from Xiao Hui that said "no one can get close to me".
She laughed at her own thought.
Ning Xiyue held back her smile and looked at the weak and helpless little thing at Chen Yechu's feet. She certainly knew why Xiaobai was afraid. It was the natural suppression of blood. Every animal has its own territory.
Obviously the kitchen is Xiaohui's territory.
"Why don't you try moving its nest? Maybe it's too small and is naturally afraid of animals that are bigger than it."
"OK."
There was no other way. Even after moving the nest far away from Xiao Hui, the dog was still afraid. Chen Yechu had no choice but to carry the dog back. The dog was no longer afraid as soon as it left Ning Xiyue's kitchen, but started to tremble and hum again as soon as it entered.
Chen Yechu had no choice but to take the baby back and decided to make the nest thicker later.
Xiao Hui put his chin in the nest and looked at the door coldly. He moved his butt towards the door and continued to sleep.
"You clever little thing." Ning Xiyue tapped Little Gray's head and signed in on it: "Go to sleep, no one is coming to take your home."
After getting another wolf tooth amulet, Ning Xiyue took out a piece of dried meat from the space and gave it to Xiao Hui as a reward. After seeing it finish eating, she washed up and went back to the house to soak her feet.
Before going to bed, Ning Xiyue entered the space to feed the sow. There was no other way. The sow's belly was getting bigger and bigger recently. It was getting closer to the due date, so she ate more and had to eat small meals frequently. Now it was time to give her a snack.
If you don't feed it on time, it will howl at the top of its lungs in the space.
Ning Xiyue gave the remaining sign-in opportunity of the day to the sow and the piglets behind her to sign for the sweet potato residue.
Standing by the side, watching the sow in the pen eating, he asked the little turtle worriedly:
"Tongzi, how many piglets are in the sow's belly in our pen? The sow's belly is too big, so big that it's scary. I'm afraid that the piglets will eat me to death."
"Host, no one can make you bankrupt. Don't worry, I am here with you." The little turtle patted its chest with its front paws to assure.
Ning Xiyue put aside her worries and said, "I feel relieved when you say this."
She was just waiting for Tongzi to say this.
Ning Xiyue smiled bitterly.
Who made her a woman now tied up by a sow and a group of unknown piglets?
Now you are tied to one head, and later you will be tied to a group of people.
We have to think more about the piglets.
"Tongzi, help me keep an eye on the sows. Nothing can go wrong at the critical moment. We can't let the efforts we have made over the past few days go to waste."
"Okay, host."
