Li Xu was helping Niu Qiushi hold the pig. Li Tao took two deep breaths and directly used her scissors to cut open the pig's belly.
The pig's screams kept echoing around, and it tried to kick with its four legs, but couldn't move at all.
Li Tao was so nervous that she was sweating all over. Ning Jia encouraged her: "No problem, you can do it! Don't worry about the consequences. The worst that can happen is that we can eat meat earlier this year. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Ning Jia's encouragement made Li Tao relax a lot. She eliminated some distracting thoughts, ignored the pig's shrill cries, and actually completed the task by herself.
"You are awesome!" Ning Jia gave a thumbs up. "Look at the situation. If the pig is fine these few days, then you have really succeeded and have completely mastered the essence of this matter."
Li Tao was so excited that her whole body was shaking: "I never thought I could succeed!"
"What haven't you thought of? You've studied and prepared for so long, all you need is this one time to put it into practice. Success is only a matter of time!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your constant encouragement!"
When the onlookers saw that Li Tao had succeeded, they all shouted to her, "You are really amazing! You are the first person in our village who dares to sterilize pigs!"
"Li Tao, if your operation is successful, I'll let you do it when my pigs are sterilized."
Li Tao was so happy to see so many people praising her and some even wanted her help that she kept grinning.
Ning Jia took over the conversation and said, "Okay, if you want to find Li Taoqian to perform the surgery, you can either provide food or pay her! You can't use my sister-in-law to work for nothing, right?"
"You have to give it. You have to give the money. Don't worry, we won't refuse to give it to you!"
Ning Jia gently touched Li Tao's shoulder and said, "Look, the business is coming to you. You will have a chance to show your skills in the future."
Li Tao blushed and said, "It's all thanks to you, sister-in-law. I even said I would take the money..."
"What's there to be unspeakable? Are you asking you to do this job for nothing?" Ning Jia didn't think there was anything wrong.
When everyone focused their attention on Li Tao and Zhu, Lin Xiaoxi was secretly looking at Li Yao.
He was only wearing a vest, revealing his strong arms, and through the thin cloth, one could see the shape of his muscular upper body.
Looking at that waist again, which was thin and narrow but appeared strong and powerful, Lin Xiaoxi couldn't help but close her eyes and imagine, what would it feel like if such a waist hit her body powerfully?
"Xiao Tao, you are really good. I can't do this kind of thing, but you can! You are better than Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother admires you!"
"Thank you, Fifth Brother!" Li Tao was very happy. "It seems I need to learn more knowledge!"
"Who says it's not?" Bai Jinfeng agreed with this.
The onlookers dispersed in twos and threes, and Aunt Niu's hands ached and she could no longer bear it.
When I looked down, wow! Her wrist was swollen like a steamed bun.
"Ouch, I can't take it anymore, my wrist hurts so much, I have to go home and rest! Qiushi, Qiushi, let's go home, you have to cook dinner..." Aunt Niu called her son to go home together.
Niu Qiushi climbed out of the pigsty and was about to follow Aunt Niu home when he heard Bai Jinfeng calling him.
"Brother Qiushi, there's a tear in your clothes." She pointed at the waist of his clothes and said.
Niu Qiushi lowered his head and saw that it was indeed the case.
Bai Jinfeng felt a little embarrassed. In fact, the tear on Niu Qiushi's clothes was just caused by helping them catch pigs and dogs.
"Or you can take it off and I'll help you sew it." Bai Jinfeng offered.
Niu Qiushi wanted to refuse: "It's okay, let my mother help me sew the clothes."
"How can I sew for you when my hands are in this condition? I think you should let Jinfeng sew for you. She is one of the best needleworkers in our Laohuai Village. Let her sew for you." Aunt Niu said.
Niu Qiushi was helpless. He himself could not sew, so he could only stand in front of Bai Jinfeng and say, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Nothing, just sit down and wait for a while. I'll go back and get a sewing box."
"How about this, I'll send my mother back first..."
Before Niu Qiushi could finish his words, Aunt Niu interrupted him: "Why don't Jinfeng come back with us? I have needlework at home, and I don't need anything."
Bai Jinfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
Ning Jia and Li Tao were busy cleaning up the pigsty. When they stood up, they found that everyone around them had left.
"Is my sister-in-law dead too?" she asked Li Tao.
“I didn’t pay much attention.”
"Forget it, let's go back first." Ning Jia raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his face. Before leaving, he took a look around the greenhouse vegetable garden and saw Li Xu busy inside. "Fifth brother, it's time to water the vegetables here. Can you water them?"
"Okay." Li Xu agreed happily, "I'll fetch water."
The watering place was not very close to home, so Li Xu picked up the shoulder pole and bucket and went to carry water.
About ten minutes later, he came back with two full buckets of water. When he entered the greenhouse, he took off his vest.
The temperature in the greenhouse was very high and he was sweating all over.
He took off his clothes, picked up the bucket, bent down and started watering the vegetables.
"Fifth brother!"
Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind him. Li Xu was startled and stood up to look back.
He saw Lin Xiaoxi standing not far away, staring at him with a pair of watery eyes.
"Lin Xiaoxi? What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Xu asked.
She nodded and took a few steps forward to stand beside him: "I have something I want to ask Fifth Brother...but I'm a little embarrassed to ask."
"What's the matter? Just tell me. I'll tell you everything I know."
Seeing Li Xu sweating profusely, Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to him: "Fifth brother, wipe your sweat quickly!"
"No, I can just wipe it with my arm..."
"How can that be?" Lin Xiaoxi smiled, stood on tiptoe and used a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, which scared Li Xu.
"No, no, I'll do it myself." Li Xu hurriedly took the handkerchief she handed over and wiped it twice and gave it back to her, "Don't dare let your sister-in-law see it. If she sees it, she will tear me to pieces."
Lin Xiaoxi laughed like a silver bell: "Fifth brother is so afraid of his wife? Look, Li Chuan is not afraid of me."
Li Xu laughed awkwardly twice: "Your sister-in-law is not very gentle. By the way, you said you had something to ask me, what did you want to ask?"
"Yesterday I saw Sixth Sister-in-law selling spinach in town. I want to ask how much she earned from this truckload of vegetables?" After Lin Xiaoxi asked, she was afraid that Li Xu would not answer, so she added, "I know this may be a secret, and Fifth Brother may not want to tell me! But the front yard is almost broke, and I see that you guys are doing well in greenhouse vegetables, so I want to try it myself. We can't let our mother go hungry."
