Chapter 207: The Mother's Family Gives Them Money
Killing pigs has always been the most important thing in the village.
When they heard that a pig was being slaughtered, everyone in the village was beaming with joy.
I didn’t expect that pigs would be slaughtered in the middle of the year. Everyone was looking forward to it so much that they couldn’t wait any longer: “I’ve been craving meat lately and have been dreaming about taking a bite of pig’s trotters. I didn’t expect that pigs would be slaughtered so soon.”
When the people around heard this, they immediately laughed and said, "I was wondering why you were killing the pig? It turns out you're just craving meat. Then we'll all benefit from your kindness!"
The person next to him said, "No, it's because of the Lu family."
The village slaughtered three large, fat pigs, yielding over 700 kilograms of pork. With about 100 households, each received five or six kilograms, and the rest was used for the pig-killing dish.
Add some dried cabbage, eggplant, etc. to the pot, it will be delicious.
When the village slaughters a pig, everyone goes to the village entrance for a stroll when they have nothing to do. When they meet people from other villages, they are even more enthusiastic about showing off.
The village chief chased him back when he saw him and said, "Stop showing off." He found that he was more arrogant than anyone else. When he bought a tractor, he drove it around the village for a whole day.
Nowadays they have learned to keep a low profile. There is no other way. The vegetables and fruits in their village are famous in the city, which makes many nearby villages jealous.
Many people even went to the county leaders to talk to them. They were all living in the lower county towns, and their lives were hard. They asked why they didn't tell other villages about this good business.
The leader had no choice but to tell them that they could talk on their own.
I heard that many villages have also taken action.
The village chief is now much more low-key.
But the villagers didn't care about that. They were happy as long as they were given pork.
In the morning, a butcher was hired to kill the pig. He didn't ask for money, and when he left, he just gave him ten pounds of pig blood, five pounds of good meat, and five pounds of offal.
They brought the pigs to the village entrance, including three from the village and one from the Lu family, and slaughtered them all together.
The Lu family wants to take this pig back for their own use. They don't want the blood or anything else. They'll use it to make blood sausage for everyone.
All the young children in the village went to watch the pig slaughtering, which is a lively event once a year.
Lu Xiang was waiting at home. She couldn't stand the smell of blood in the air.
After a while, Sister Lu came over and said, "Mom's gone to the county!" She took the other pigs there to sell. It just so happened that everyone at the pig farm was familiar to her, so even if Fatty Liu wasn't there, she could still get a good price.
After selling the big pigs, you can bring back some piglets and raise another batch.
Sister Lu was here with Lu Xiang. Seeing that Lu Xiang's son was very cute, she teased Xiao Xinian for a while. Xiao Xinian was not shy and smiled at everyone he saw. He was very lovable.
The infinite love in Sister Lu's heart was aroused.
After a while, Lu's mother came over with a look of joy and said, "All the pigs have been sold!" She took out three hundred yuan and gave it to Lu Xiang, saying, "What is this for?" It was because she had agreed to raise a pig for her.
Now that I’ve sold it, I’m going to give the money to her.
Lu Xiang helped to take it over. A few years ago, Fu Zhi called and said that she would be back in the next few days.
Mother Lu was in a hurry. She just came here and left after a while.
Sister Lu said, "Mom's temperament has changed a lot now." People are different when they have a career. They devote their whole heart to the pigpen.
The couple were both honest and simple people. They cleaned and cooked pig food every day, and also learned to read. They bought professional books on pig farming, marked them with pinyin, and memorized them sentence by sentence. They managed to memorize two books.
Now I have become a semi-expert.
Sister Lu smiled and said, "With this ability, there is nothing I can't accomplish."
Lu Xiang also said, "My parents just didn't have the opportunity. Actually, it's all Grandpa and Grandma's fault. They shouldn't have let Uncle go to school alone."
Mr. Lu is also very smart, but unfortunately he was delayed by his family.
Fortunately, he now has this pig farm, which has helped him regain his confidence.
In addition, after selling the pigs, I became rich and felt more confident.
Shortly after the Chinese New Year, Lu's parents and elder sister Lu moved to the Li family's old house. After living in a small dark room for so many years, they finally lived in a spacious house.
The room is no longer crowded and people feel more relaxed.
After a while, Second Sister Lu also came back and went straight to Lu Xiang's house. She was not empty-handed and brought clothes for her little nephew.
Her husband is a tailor, and the small clothes he makes are soft and comfortable, which Lu Xiang likes very much.
Now seeing Xiao Xi Nian, he also loved her very much and kissed her a few times.
Second Sister Lu said, "My mother sent me a message saying we were going to slaughter a pig, so my mother-in-law immediately asked me to pack twenty eggs."
This made her feel quite embarrassed. According to custom, the Lu family had to give a return gift.
Exchanging eggs for pork is too calculating.
But Lu Erjie had no choice, after all, she was someone else's daughter-in-law.
Although Second Sister Lu married a cripple, she was still marrying up for her husband's family. After all, her parents' family had no etiquette for so many years. Although her many sisters-in-law didn't say anything, they couldn't help but compare.
She felt a little uncomfortable with her parents' home on one side and her husband's home on the other.
The three sisters were chatting, and Second Sister Lu said, "I envy Lu Xiang the most now. Her mother-in-law is truly one in a million."
As they were talking, Mother Lu came rushing in, pushing a wheelbarrow with two large pork legs in it.
Mother Lu said, "Second sister and Lu Xiang, one each!" Eldest sister Lu lives with her parents, so there is no need to divide them.
The pig's hind legs have the most meat, which tastes delicious and can also be used to make pickled ham. However, it is usually not available for purchase, as a pig's thigh weighs at least 40 kilograms.
When Lu Erjie heard this, she said, "Why do we need so many?" So she brought twenty eggs.
Mother Lu said, "It's a compensation for the gift I gave her before!" A pig's thigh was enough to show that she was different from usual.
Her family is very strong, and no one will dare to make Lu Erjie angry in the future.
For the first time, Second Sister Lu felt supported by her parents, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Mother Lu said, "You three sisters are here today, let me tell you something." I have never seen Mother Lu so serious.
Mother Lu said, "I made 2,700 yuan from selling the pigs this time. After paying off the 1,000 yuan we owed from raising pigs, and the money we've been paying on credit for feed from the pig farm, I still have 1,500 yuan left!"
"Now I've spent another three hundred to buy piglets, and now I have twelve hundred left. Three hundred yuan each for you three sisters!" She treated everyone equally.
Just as Sister Lu was about to refuse, she was stopped by Mother Lu: "I haven't given you anything over the years. Now that our family is rich, what's mine is yours."
Mother Lu's eyes turned red as she recalled the difficulties she had faced over the years. "Don't tell anyone about this money when you go back. Just keep it in your own pocket. If it's not enough in the future, tell me."
Lu Xiang looked at her mother.
Mother Lu said, "Don't worry about the money. I've discussed it with your father. It's just that your father is not good at talking, so he didn't chase me away yet. It's a good opportunity for me to tell him about this matter."
Second Sister Lu is short of money right now. Her son needs to go to elementary school, but the public school won't give him money and is still holding off. She wants to but feels embarrassed: "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. How can she take money from her parents' home?"
Mother Lu frowned and said, "Whether you marry or not, you are my daughter. You can take it."
Lu's parents are honest people. Since they gave it, they were sincere. Refusing it would only make them sad.
