Lu Jiang and Lu Hai had only been up the mountain for about an hour when they came down carrying a wild boar.
The appearance of the wild boar instantly caused a sensation in the brigade. The villagers began to cheer, and even the children knew that there was meat to eat again.
As soon as Lu Jiang and Lu Hai put the wild boar down, the team leader happily announced: "The full moon banquet will be turned into a pig-killing dinner. Let's cook and eat the wild boar."
The team leader also called for the village butcher to come and deal with the wild boar.
Then the aunts in the village helped to prepare the pig-killing meal, and everyone got busy happily.
The must-have dishes for the pig-killing meal include twice-cooked pork, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stewed pork ribs with radish, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried pork liver, pickled cabbage and pig blood, and pig's head.
In addition, I also made spicy and sour potato shreds, fried wild vegetables, tomato and egg soup, and fried eggplant with chili peppers.
The women cooked, while the men set up the table and stools, took the bowls and chopsticks, served the dishes, and served the rice.
The pig-killing meal was soon served, and the team leader, Gu's father, Lu Jiang, and Lu Hai happily toasted at each table.
The men drank and chatted, while the women ate and chatted. Aunt Li asked Gu Ranran, "Ranran, what are your sons' names? We only know Zimo and Zixuan."
"Aunt Li, the eldest is Zijie and the second is Zihao. They were both named by my father."
"As expected of a former soldier, the names he picked are all very nice. They are different from the names we villagers pick."
"No, Aunt Li, it's just a name. As long as we can call it that, it's fine. But they are twins, so we have to give them similar names. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied with their names when they grow up and start fighting."
Aunt Liu asked curiously, "Ranran, Tiantian, when do you plan to have another child?"
Zhang Tiantian was frightened and blurted out, "Aunt Liu, let's wait and see. I don't dare to give birth. What if I give birth to two more sons? As long as they are twins, both boys, I am afraid I can't afford to raise them."
"That's right. The Lu family's genes are too strong. It's quite tiring to take care of two children at a time."
After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she looked at Gu Ranran with anticipation.
"Aunt Liu, I'm not in a hurry. We have to wait until Zijie and Zihao are older. If we have two more sons, we really won't be able to take care of them."
"Ah, it's too easy for the Lu family to give birth to a son. Some families have given birth to six girls and have always wanted a son, but the seventh one is still a girl."
Zhang Tiantian asked curiously, "Aunt Liu, that place? Why don't I know it?"
"Tiantian, it's normal that you don't know. It's the Chen family. The Chen family is a strange family. They live near the foot of the mountain, don't talk much, and don't hang out with the villagers. You can only see them when they go to work."
Aunt Li continued, "That's right. No one from the Chen family came today either. It's like they're not from our team. But when they get married or have a full-month banquet, they just eat by themselves and don't invite anyone from our team.
Old Mrs. Chen is very fierce. She has the final say in their family, and the old man in their family is also strictly controlled by her.
Old Mrs. Chen scolded her daughter-in-law and granddaughter every day. She also gave birth to six daughters before giving birth to one son. But her son gave birth to seven daughters.
Everyone was saying that his son would not be able to have children. Without a son, their family's incense would be cut off. It was all because of Mrs. Chen's bad deeds that the family line would be cut off.
