Chapter 30 Eating Meat 02
The second uncle was using a sickle to cut up the meat. When he heard his brother's words, he immediately joked, "You're not like that Wang Mazi in the team who likes to eat shit, are you?"
The second uncle stared at the pile of pig manure at his brother's feet, with an indescribable look on his face.
"Nonsense, second brother, don't frame me." After he made the excuse, he followed his second brother's gaze and saw that he was actually standing in a pile of pig manure.
"No, that's not what I mean. Oh, I don't like this thing. I'm talking about this, this." She raised the fat in her hand and said shakingly.
Bai Jing and her two aunts were also amused by the bickering between the two.
But what Bai Jing was more curious about was, "Second Uncle, did Wang Mazi really eat shit?" Can that thing be eaten?
Such a strong taste?
Seeing his niece asking, Uncle Bai was happy to help her out, "What kind of shit do you want to see?"
"What do you mean?"
"Wang Mazi has a habit of picking his nose, but he can't bear to throw away the boogers he picks out."
Bai Jing was curious, "What's the point of using that thing if he doesn't throw it away? He won't eat his boogers, will he?" Suddenly, Bai Jing felt a little nauseous.
"There's no reward for the correct answer."
Seeing Bai Jing's expression, the others all laughed out loud.
"Not only that, I heard from the aunts in the team that he also likes to eat other people's food. I heard that his parents would leave this stuff for him to eat every day when they go home."
Second Aunt Bai also told the rumors she had heard.
Aunt Bai San even continued, "Not only that, the sisters-in-law also said that Wang Mazi likes to pick the children's noses and eat them."
The more he talked, the more disgusting it became. Bai Jing really couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"Stop, aunts, we have to eat soon. If we continue talking, will you still be able to eat meat later?"
Oh my god, if she meets Wang Mazi next time, she must stay away from him. Don’t let such a disgusting thing make her feel disgusted.
"That's right, we can't say any more. I feel sick too." Uncle Bai agreed with a look of disgust on his face.
The aroma of fried meat soon wafted from the kitchen, and several people quickened their movements.
Luo Chunhua's cooking skills are very good, and the fried meat she makes is fragrant and delicious.
There was plenty of meat tonight, and since there were so many people, Luo Chunhua didn't skimp on any of it and made several meat dishes.
Today’s dishes are not served in big bowls, but directly in basins, which shows how generous the portion is.
A shout of "It's time to eat" came from the kitchen, and the three people who were busy outside immediately dropped their work and rushed to the kitchen.
The seven children had already served the food to everyone.
Today we had rice mixed with beans, and the four children from my second and third uncle's families were very excited.
After all, they hadn't eaten such hard rice for a long time, and most of the food they ate was watery.
When they saw them come in, they quickly said, "It's time to eat." Then the children from each family brought their parents' bowls of rice to them.
Bai Jing was also handed a bowl of rice by her brother, which was full of food.
Xiao Jing handed the chopsticks to her sister, and Bai Jing felt so satisfied to see that they were so sensible.
When her younger sister was young, she was very kind to her.
At the beginning, everyone rushed to eat, but later, everyone slowed down because there was still a lot of meat in the pot.
Even though my stomach is full, I still want to eat.
It was only when the adults noticed something was wrong and took away their bowls and chopsticks that they finally calmed down.
"Go run in the yard. Your stomach is so bloated that you will have a stomachache at night." Luo Chunhua said worriedly when she saw several children with bulging stomachs.
He even stood up and drove the children out of the kitchen.
Without the children making noise, they could talk about serious matters.
"When it gets dark, we'll go to the opposite mountain and bring the wild boar back. Sister-in-law, I'll have to trouble you to boil some more water. We'll have to clean the meat when we get back."
Uncle Bai was still worried about the two wild boars on the big tree.
Luo Chunhua nodded. "Okay." She was also excited. After all, it was the first time she had seen so much meat in her life. "But it's so hot, we can't finish all the meat. It would be a shame if it went bad."
The sister-in-law's words also woke up a few people.
Bai Jing had actually thought about it a long time ago. She had to pay tuition for her younger siblings tomorrow, so she took the meat with her to the town to sell it. After all, she had a cheating device.
"My sister-in-law is right. We can't smoke the bacon at this time. If someone sees it, who knows what trouble will happen." Aunt Bai agreed.
"We can't keep this meat."
There was another period of silence among them. Just as Bai Jing was about to speak, her third uncle raised his hand.
That's right, raise your hand, like a student.
Bai Jing wanted to laugh, but just as she was about to open her mouth, her third uncle interrupted her.
"Sister-in-law, brother, since we can't keep this meat, why don't we take it to the commune and sell it." Their village was only two hours away from the commune, and after they packed it up, they could carry it to the commune on their backs.
"Sister-in-law, second brother, I know two people at the commune who can sell this meat to them."
Bai Jing always knew that her third uncle was a smart man, but he had been exploited by his family for too long, which made him gradually lose his fighting spirit.
Third Aunt glanced at her man and understood that he was planning to confess to his second brother and his wife.
But she doesn't mind. Since her sister-in-law is good to her family, she is naturally willing to be good to her sister-in-law too.
It’s also possible to help my sister-in-law’s family.
When Bai Jing heard her uncle talking about selling meat, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Mom, I think this is a good idea. There are hundreds of kilograms of meat. It will take a long time for our three families to eat it every day. It would be great to sell the meat. We can use the money to exchange for some tickets."
"Winter is coming soon, and it's time to prepare some cotton for the house. We can't wear any of our winter clothes anymore."
In fact, it was not as bad as Bai Jing said. The clothes were still wearable, but they were filled with willow catkins and cattail seeds instead of cotton.
Every year, Luo Chunhua starts collecting willow catkins in April and starts collecting cattails in August or September.
The family relies on these two items to survive the winter.
The clothes made from them need to be replaced once a year, and the filling inside cannot be washed.
Not only clothes, but quilts are also made of these two things.
After hearing her daughter's words, Luo Chunhua realized that she had made the children suffer over the years.
"Okay, let's listen to your Third Uncle." Sell it, and then buy cotton.
It won’t be easy to buy cotton if you wait a few months, so now is the right time to prepare.
Since the eldest sister-in-law had spoken, the others naturally had no objections, as they actually thought the same thing.
It’s just that Uncle Bai Er was not as brave as Uncle Bai San, so he didn’t dare to think about it.
That night, Bai's uncle and aunt, Bai Jing and her mother were busy until eleven or twelve o'clock.
The children all slept together, and at this time, no one thought about going back.
Only Uncle Bai and Bai Jing were assigned to sell meat, and the rest had to go to work the next day.
Today the team leader deliberately took advantage of them, so he didn't let them go to work in the afternoon.
But if they don't go to work next time, the team leader might take the opportunity to make trouble. If the team leader still doesn't plan to assign them work the next day, then they should go home and rest. Anyway, they can't ask to not go to work.
