"Xiao Jiang told me the same thing before."
"Well, reading more books will do you good, not harm."
Fang Xian is not a fool. On the contrary, the fact that he has been able to live in the countryside for all these years and have a stable life with no worries about food and clothing proves that he is very smart.
Thinking of the old men who had left the bullpen before, he thought more about it than others. He had made some guesses before, and now that Ming Leyao specifically mentioned it, his previous guess was immediately confirmed.
"Thanks."
"We are a family from now on. If you are well, Xiao Jiang will be well too."
"Don't worry, I won't let Xiao Jiang down."
Thinking of his partner, Fang Xian's indifferent facial features softened a lot.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Ming Leyao finished her last class of the day and went back to the office to pack up. After all the students had left, she followed Fang Xian to close the doors and windows tightly and locked all the locks that could be locked before heading back.
Ming Leyao did not ask Fang Xian to go with her, not because she was afraid that he would know that she had killed a wild boar, but because she was afraid that someone with a quick tongue might spread something if they were walking on the road alone. After all, this was a military marriage, and Fang Xian was her brother-in-law, which was always not a good thing.
I just told him not to eat dinner, told him to go back and change into some less worn clothes, and then asked Xiao Jiang to call him.
Although Fang Xian didn't know what Ming Leyao was doing, he still readily agreed.
When I got home, Uncle Ming's family and Aunt Ming's family were already standing there chatting.
"Uncle, Aunt, Auntie, Uncle, you have been here for a long time, right? I will open the door now."
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, we just arrived a few minutes ago."
Although her aunt said so, Ming Leyao did not slow down. She opened the door and invited everyone to go in and rest for a while, but was directly rejected by her uncle.
"Le Yao, where do we get that thing? Let's get started quickly, otherwise, it won't be clear in the dark."
"Yes, Leyao."
"It's in the utility room next door."
Uncle Ming, his eldest uncle, and his eldest aunt's two sons went in and carried the wild boar out. Aunt Ming asked the remaining female comrades to go to the kitchen to boil water. Ming Leyao was only responsible for carrying firewood inside.
Basins of hot water were carried from the kitchen to the backyard. There was no one else in her backyard and it was located in a remote area. In addition, the wild boar was dead, so there was not much noise. Several people started working without any hesitation.
"Bones, bones, put some meat on the bones, brother-in-law, Le Yao likes to eat them."
"Okay."
"Let's cut the meat into strips so it's easier to put and Le Yao can grab when she needs it."
"become."
The few people discussed and discussed together, and they were particularly harmonious. Ming Leyao did not touch the offal left after slaughtering the pig, but put it aside. She took out one-third of the ribs, chopped them into pieces, used half to make soup, and used the other half to stew cabbage.
After everyone had picked out the meat, she took out three layers of pork belly and prepared to make braised pork.
Soon, the aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen. Ming Leyao asked Ming Xiaojiang to go to the Youth League Home to call Fang Xian and Liu Qiushuang to come over.
"Okay, sister."
Ming Xiaojiang ran out happily.
"Xiao Jiang is much better than before."
Aunt Ming was cutting vegetables while chatting with Aunt Ming.
"That's right. What I regret most now is that I didn't leave the old house earlier."
"It's never too late to leave."
Aunt Ming really didn't look down on the relatives in the old house. She just hoped that she would never have any contact with them again in her life.
Ming Xiaojiang came back very quickly, chatting and laughing with Liu Qiushuang along the way, but left Fang Xian behind. Fang Xian was not annoyed, but just looked at his partner's back with gentle eyes, thinking that his partner was particularly cute...
As soon as they arrived at the door, they smelled the aroma of meat. Liu Qiushuang swallowed subconsciously and muttered softly, "Oh my god, this smells too good."
"Smells good, right? My sister is treating everyone to meat today."
"Ah? Meat?"
"Yes, eat as much as you want."
Ming Xiaojiang waved his hand heroically.
“You.”
Fang Xian rubbed Ming Xiaojiang's head with amusement, took her hand and walked into the house. Liu Qiushuang, who was forced to eat dog food, "......"
Forget it, what’s the big deal about eating some dog food in order to eat meat?
"You guys are here? Just in time, go pick up the bowls and put out the stools."
The eldest aunt did not treat Liu Qiu Shuang and Fang Xian as outsiders, and let them in to help very naturally.
Several men cut the meat into pieces and put them in a basin, and asked the two sons of the Li family to bring it into the house.
"Sister, what should we do with this meat?"
"I'll give some to everyone later, and I'll pickle the rest myself."
"Okay, I'll leave it here."
"Okay, cousin, you put it there."
Li Shoukang asked his younger brother to put down the basin, then turned around and went to the backyard to help clean up.
Ming Leyao and Aunt Ming worked together to steam dozens of steamed buns. When they were just out of the pot, they picked them out and put them in a winnowing basket, and asked Ming Xiaoxue to call her sister to come and bring them into the house.
At six o'clock, Ming Leyao's little house was full of people. There were pots of meat on the table. The aroma of the meat made the little ones almost cry for food.
"Mom, this smells so good..."
Li Shoulian, the youngest daughter of her eldest aunt, leaned on her mother's shoulder, her eyes blinking, fixed on that flesh, unable to move away.
"You greedy cat, come back, you have to thank your cousin, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't be able to eat it."
"That's for sure. My sister is amazing."
Today, Ming Leyao gained another little fan...
It had indeed been a while since everyone had eaten meat. They bought some during the Chinese New Year, but it was not enough for each person to have a pair of chopsticks. This was the first time they could eat to their heart's content, and the men, young and old, rolled up their sleeves and started eating.
"This sparerib is indeed meaty and smells so good."
“The cabbage stew is also delicious.”
"Pork rib soup, wow, one sip warms me up."
"There are eggs in this braised pork?"
"Hey, leave me an egg so I can taste it."
No one had ever eaten eggs braised with meat, so everyone was particularly happy to grab them. Ming Leyao had foresight. Yesterday she prepared about 30 eggs from her space, and today she cooked more than 20 of them. This big pot of braised meat looked full, and the eggs also contributed to it.
After eating and drinking, everyone helped Ming Leyao pack up and then prepared to go home.
Ming Leyao took out the meat that had just been divided and put it directly into the basket.
"Aunt, uncle, there are meat and ribs in here. I can't eat so much by myself. Fourth uncle also has some. Take them back and eat them."
"No, no, Le Yao, this is the wild boar you hunted yourself. We elders didn't help much. You've had enough to eat at your house. You can't take any more."
Seeing this, Aunt Ming hurried over to stop them.
"Yes, Le Yao, your aunt is right, put it back."
"There's so much meat, it's a waste if we can't finish it, and it'll go bad later. I still have several pots of it. Can you just help me out and take care of it?"
Everyone: "..."
Thank you for this favor. I can help you next time.
