Soon two women brought a large pot and placed it on the fire, and then added some wood.
As time passed, smoke began to rise from the cauldron, and then the aroma of pork filled the air.
As time went by, the sky gradually darkened.
In the small courtyard, a few light bulbs emitted dim light, and the courtyard was full of people.
"It's time for dinner~~~"
At this moment, a shout was heard.
A few men brought some large tables, and a group of children brought some stools.
"Brother, let's go to the table!"
The old village chief greeted him, Chen Fan smiled and nodded, then sat down at the table with a group of men...
When everyone sat at the table, the "pig-killing dinner" began. Invited relatives and friends gathered in the yard, bustling with activity, enjoying the old flavor that had been passed down for thousands of years.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Braised pork belly, stir-fried pork, stir-fried pork with pickled vegetables, pork rib soup...
There is also freshly cooked pig blood, which tastes tender and smooth, melts in your mouth, and is also extremely nutritious.
Although they are all simple home-cooked dishes, they contain a strong rustic flavor.
The last thing served was a pot of boiled pork slices.
The red and white pork belly looks greasy, but this freshly slaughtered boiled pork is lightly dipped in a little carefully prepared chili water.
Even people who can't eat fatty meat can eat several slices.
Chen Fan was not hungry, nor did he like meat very much, but he ate nearly half a pound of boiled pork with the special chili dip.
Chen Qingxuan and Chen Aijun seemed to be a little worried.
Every minute and every second Chen Fan has now is bought at the cost of his life.
Many people will do things they want to do but cannot do at the last moment of their lives, such as many adventurous and crazy things, or things they think are great and meaningful.
They will cherish every minute and every second because their time is countless times more valuable than gold.
The same goes for Chen Fan.
Twenty years of undercover work had left him with a tattered body. The double torture of mind and body had made his body decayed, broken, and aged.
He doesn't have much time left.
perhaps,
Before he can digest all the delicious slices of meat he ate today, he will leave this world in a daze, his heart will stop beating and his consciousness will be annihilated.
But,
Neither Chen Qingxuan nor Chen Aijun tried to dissuade Chen Fan.
For Chen Fan,
Isn't this life full of fireworks in front of him the existence that he once longed for but could not reach?
soon,
On the wine table,
The men began to clink glasses and the sound of finger-guessing games was deafening.
The yard was filled with the sounds of children laughing and playing, women chatting, the barking of dogs, the squealing of pigs in the pigpen, and the clucking of chickens in the chicken coop.
Everything seemed so peaceful.
Chen Fan also drank several glasses of wine offered by the hospitable villagers. His face was flushed and looked extremely rosy under the dim light and the firelight. His deep eyes were shining.
That white hair sometimes turns black in the darkness,
One,
The dim light, the boy from the past, is back.
The medical staff wanted to stop him because drinking alcohol was like drinking poison to Chen Fan's body.
But,
Chen Qingxuan and Chen Aijun stopped them, tears mixed with smiles in their eyes.
They said,
Let him do whatever he wants.
After three rounds of drinking,
The food gradually got cold.
In the sky,
In the darkness of the night, bright stars twinkled mischievously. Chen Fan, Chen Aijun, Chen Qingxuan, and many other villagers looked up at the sky.
The sky of the steel city, which is covered by smog, has never been able to see such a brilliant starry sky.
"My goodness...why are the stars so bright today?"
"Yes, we have lived for decades, and there has never been a night like that where the stars are so visible!"
“.........”
The villagers were also a little surprised.
"Grandpa... look, that star seems to have fallen down..."
At this moment, a child's voice was heard, and everyone looked in the direction the child pointed, but no matter how they looked, there was no change.
They shook their heads and scolded with laughter: "Little Tiger, you actually dared to lie, aren't you afraid that your grandfather will spank you?"
A group of adults laughed and scolded,
But in the eyes of children, a dazzling star in the sky fell like a meteor, and its light quickly dimmed until it disappeared.
Chen Qingxuan and Chen Aijun looked up at the direction the child pointed.
Big tears flowed down the corners of my eyes,
They also saw it,
At that moment, the bright stars fell, dimmed, and disappeared forever in the darkness.
Until the last moment, it was still trying hard to shine, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Chen Fan still smiled.
He seemed to have anticipated something.
He picked up his chopsticks, picked up the plump boiled white meat, and stuffed big chunks of it into his mouth.
"Lao Hu, another bowl of boiled pork!"
Chen Fan turned his head.
"Okay, big brother!"
Lao Hu got up excitedly, took the basin and scooped a large basin of boiled white meat from the pot. Chen Fan stretched out his chopsticks and ate it in big mouthfuls.
He kept saying it smelled good.
Seeing Chen Fan eating with relish, the villagers showed warm and simple smiles on their faces.
Chen Fan picked up the wine glass and looked towards Lao Hu and other drug dealers.
"Lao Hu, I toast to you!"
"Brother, we toast to you!"
Several people picked up their wine glasses and drank them all.
"Brother, and everyone, I toast to you all!"
Chen Fan poured another glass of wine and looked at the men, women, young and old at several tables. Everyone stood up, picked up the wine glass, laughed and drank it all with Chen Fan, calling the guest heroic.
Finally, Chen Fan picked up another glass and looked at the wives of Lao Hu and the others.
"A Ling, I toast to you!"
A Ling and the others who were cleaning up quickly wiped their hands with their aprons. After a brief moment of awkwardness, they picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
"Old Hu!"
“Big Brother!”
"Change the bowl and scoop another bowl of white meat"
"Yes, big brother!"
Lao Hu stood up again, took out a new basin, scooped a large basin of boiled pork, and brought it to the table. Chen Fan took the bowl and
His eyes softened: "Lao Hu, let's go see our brothers!"
Lao Hu's body trembled, his eyes instantly reddened, and he nodded: "Okay!"
"Dad, you guys eat and drink first, you wait for me, we'll go out and do something first!"
Lao Hu looked at the old village chief. The old village chief was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Chen Fan was holding a large bowl of boiled pork, and Chen Qingxuan and Chen Aijun followed closely behind him. They held out their hands to support Chen Fan.
Lao Hu and a few others followed behind, followed by medical staff and people from special departments.
