"Mom, we are back, can we eat now?"

Dabao came running in, shouted around, and finally ran to the kitchen.

Su Xia looked at the kid helplessly, wondering if the blood sausage had been fed to the dog.

"Okay, go wash your hands with your sister and eat right away."

Niu Niu, who arrived later, took Dabao to wash her hands, and then sat obediently on the stool and waited.

Today there were two big stoves in the kitchen and a child was making fire, so it didn't feel cold in the house, so Su Xia decided to eat here.

Niuniu helped to get the dishes and chopsticks, and the steamed buns, and you could take the rest of the hotter ones yourself.

"Okay, go sit down and watch Dabao, or else he'll eat too much again."

Niu Niu hurried to check on Dabao. Every time she saw meat, she couldn't stop herself. Then she had a stomachache and started crying and making a fuss.

Sure enough, I saw Dabao’s little hand reaching for the blood sausage.

"What are you doing? Take one and try it out?"

"hey-hey……

I’m just playing around.” Dabao looked at his sister awkwardly.

Su Xia came over with the big bone. She knew what was going on and glared at Dabao. "If you don't obey, you will have to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes!"

Forehead……

Dabao was well behaved this time and sat down obediently. Niu Niu also sat down with him. However, the “face the wall and reflect on your mistakes” method that mom suggested worked very well, so she will continue to use it next time.

Su Xia went back and served two bowls of the dish. This was a famous dish from Northeast China. They would stew a pot every time they slaughtered a pig or during the Chinese New Year. They would take it out and heat it up every time they wanted to eat it. The longer it was stewed, the more delicious it became.

Su Xia also brought the mashed garlic over and put it in the middle, and put a piece of bone in Dabao's bowl, "Okay, eat first. Today, just a piece of meat, and then a steamed bun and some vegetables, okay?"

I also picked up a piece of bone with more lean meat for Niu Niu. This child doesn't like to eat fatty meat, so it should be her habit.

Dabao looked at the big bowl of meat, then looked at his own bowl, good.

He pouted, then looked at what was in his sister's bowl, then happily saw that it was a bone that he was gnawing on. The one in his sister's bowl was smaller than his.

hey-hey……

Dabao was secretly happy while chewing the meat.

Su Xia tasted the blood sausage dipped in mashed garlic and nodded with satisfaction. It was better to eat than Gan to relieve the greasiness.

Niu Niu watched curiously from the side, and finally tried it. She nodded with her little head, as if it tasted better than eating dry food.

"Mom, what are you eating? Is it delicious?" Dabao asked curiously, while looking at Su Xia's blood sausage with mashed garlic on it.

Why……

Su Xia had no choice but to change direction and put it into Dabao's mouth.

"Try it for yourself!"

Dabao didn't refuse and took a bite. Then he began to frown, but still chewed it several times before swallowing it.

Then he turned his head and looked at his mother and Niuniu. "It seems to be quite delicious."

Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that a 15-year-old child couldn't stand the spiciness of garlic.

Finally, I gave him two more slices. This was the most satisfying meal Dabao had ever had. Although his mother didn't let him eat too much, she agreed that the remaining meat would be saved for him, and the vegetables were all delicious.

After dinner, Niu Niu took Dabao outside to play and help digest the food.

After cleaning the kitchen, Su Xia looked at her food supplies again, then sat on the sofa with satisfaction and took a leisurely rest.

The pig slaughtered today was the largest one, weighing about 334 kilograms.

The meat was bought from the villagers. After all, they would have to distribute the meat soon, so some of those who were better off bought a little, and the total amount was less than 30 kilograms.

Lao Zhai bought 5 kilograms, and Su Xia gave another 5 kilograms.

After deducting the weight for making lard and bacon, there were still more than 240 kilograms left. The pig's head, liver, lungs and trotters had long been stored away for use during the confinement period after childbirth.

On the morning of the next day, after Su Xia got up and made breakfast, Niuniu had already gone to school. She still had another half a month before her holiday.

As for Dabao, he had already put on his cotton-padded jacket, ran outside, and started playing with the goose again. Since winter, his friends have stopped coming out and just played at home.

Su Xia didn't have anything to do. After feeding the baby at home, she could sit down and rest.

At this time, Wang Weiguo had already arrived in the village, and walked straight through the center of the village towards Su Xia's house. When the villagers saw him, they all knew that he was here to buy pigs, so those who had nothing to do followed him to take a look.

The jealous red eye disease came back again: "Humph, you just want to take advantage of others!"

The captain's wife happened to pass by, and immediately glared at the man who was talking, "Pooh - the letter of introduction from your factory, the purchase order, how can you be so opportunistic."

What if you didn’t buy Su Yatou’s meat yesterday?

After eating at my house, I still gossip behind my back!

After the captain's wife finished scolding, she went straight to Su Xia's house. This was a good time to establish a good relationship. If the family raised more pigs in the future, they could also sell them.

The scolded girl looked at the contemptuous eyes of the crowd and had to go home dejectedly. In the end, she was scolded by her family again, but she blamed all her resentment on Su Xia, saying that people are so strange, always blaming others for their own unhappiness.

Dabao looked at the big cart at the door, and when he saw someone coming down, he ran home in a flash.

"Mom. Are you catching kids outside?"

Puff puff…

The driver who followed Wang Wei couldn't help but bent over and laughed to the side.

Even Wang Weiguo touched his dark face and then glared at the driver angrily.

"It must be you. Dabao has seen me!"

Su Xia in the room was also awakened, and ran out, then looked at Dabao with displeasure.

"Isn't that your Uncle Wang, shouting and killing?"

Only then did Dabao see that it was Uncle Wang, and then he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Su Xia looked at the two of them embarrassedly, "Have you heard too many stories, kids?"

Liangre waved his hand and said, "Sister Su, let me unload the coal briquettes for you first, and then we will catch the pigs directly. The factory is still waiting."

Su Xia nodded and looked at Dabao, "Go, call your grandfather, second uncle and uncle to help."

When Dabao heard this, he ran to the old house in a hurry, but Chen Xiao had already heard the noise and walked away just watching.

"Grandpa, Mom, you go and help."

Chen 꿵 nodded, "Let's go, do you want to follow me or play here?"

Dabao shook his head and said, "I want to follow my mother," and then he ran towards Su Xia with his short legs.

After a few people unloaded all the coal briquettes into the woodshed, they started catching pigs. Even those from the village who came to watch also came to help.

Wang Weiguo looked at the big fat pig and admired it. "Sister Su, you are really good at raising pigs. Our factory director wishes you could raise ten more pigs!"

The villagers who heard this looked at Su Xia jealously, and then heard: "Brother Wang, what are you going to eat with so many? You might as well buy from our captain. Although the ones in the village are not as big as mine, they are much bigger than what you buy at the purchasing station."

When the villagers heard this, even the team leader and secretary who followed behind stared at Wang Weiguo with wide eyes.

"Yes, you really can't feed so many by yourself. How many kilograms are there in the village?"

Hearing this, Su Xia looked at the captain who was coming over.

Captain Zhao bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Now, each of the heads weighs more than 200 kilograms."

Wang Weiguo's eyes lit up with surprise. Although it was not as big as this one, it was much better than the one weighing 140 to 150 kilograms at the purchasing station.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask. If you need me, come back in a couple of days."

Hearing this, the villagers began to grin with joy, and even the team leader and the secretary were so excited that they didn't know how to respond.

I still went to school to remind you: "Brother Wang, you have to come earlier, otherwise they will all be given to the purchasing station."

When the others heard it, they thought, yes, and hurriedly looked at Wang Weiguo.

Then I heard: "Let it go. It will definitely come before they collect it. Just wait."

He was sure that his brother-in-law would definitely need it, not only in the factory, but also at home and among his friends.

The villagers then let go and started to help. This time they were not jealous of Su Xia, but grateful.

Su Xia didn't care. After all, the money she earned was the same. Besides, the educated youth would arrive next year, so it would be better to support them. Otherwise, if someone reported her, she would be asking for trouble.

Looking at the villagers whose eyes turned red with excitement, the team leader and the secretary were filled with gratitude.
