The Li family has a large population, and although they have separated, they actually still eat and live together.
As there are many children, they can eat hot dumplings on the day of slaughtering the New Year pig.
When the New Year pig was being slaughtered, Li Dahe went to help, so he got a bowl of pig-slaughtering dish.
He brought the pig-killing dishes back to the Li family, and the whole family got to taste the meat.
In the evening, Zhao Meixia would take out three pounds of meat, make dumplings with fine flour, and the whole family would have a good meal.
The Li family lived a good life with hope, but Li Qiushu's family was in chaos.
Jiang Xiaoqin has not married Li Qiushu yet.
The main reason was that there was no way to hold a wedding. Ever since Li Qiushu moved, he was extremely poor and had to borrow money from the production team for food.
As for not spending any money and going to the brigade to get a certificate and then get married, Jiang Xiaoqin found it troublesome.
After getting married, you have to go back to transfer your household registration.
In summer, Jiang Xiaoqin felt it was too hot, and in winter, she felt it was too cold.
This was delayed again and again until the Chinese New Year.
She is still a person from another village and cannot enjoy the benefits that only people in this brigade can enjoy.
So when the pork was distributed that year, Li Qiushu only got three pounds of meat.
Unfortunately, these three pounds of meat were taken away by the neighbor next door before they even got home.
Jiang Xiaoqin usually ate fine grains, but the food borrowed from the brigade only had coarse grains, usually dried sweet potatoes that would make her throat sore, sorghum rice, etc.
I can’t even borrow cornmeal.
There was no other way, Li Qiushu had to borrow from his neighbors.
Three pounds of meat from the New Year pig can be exchanged for ten pounds of fine grains.
It would be a big loss, of course, but there was nothing that could be done. Who made Jiang Xiaoqin unable to endure hardship, and Li Qiushuo was reluctant to let anyone suffer?
Returning empty-handed to their dilapidated home, Jiang Xiaoqin stared at Li Qiushou for a long time before asking, "Where's the meat?"
Li Qiushuo was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Xiaoqin said, "I heard from Liu Guifen that the team is slaughtering the New Year pig today, and the meat is divided according to the number of people. Each person gets three pounds of meat! Between the two of us, we should get six pounds, right?"
Li Qiushou: "They said, you're not from the brigade, so you can't get a share!"
"Why am I not from the brigade? I've slept with you, so I'm your wife! You're from the brigade, so I'm not?"
Jiang Xiaoqin was almost angry to death.
She hadn't eaten meat for a long time. The last time she ate it was at the wedding of Zhang Xiaobao, a man in the brigade who had lost his parents and no one was around. She went to eat it.
It's been more than half a year, okay?
She looked at the Li family every day, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, and she could hardly bear it anymore.
"They said... based on household registration," said Li Qiushu.
Jiang Xiaoqin: "Bah, what a lousy rule! What about yours? I can't get it, but you must have it, right?"
Li Qiushou: "I gave mine to Aunt Wang next door. You forgot, you wanted to eat fine grains, but the brigade refused to lend us any, so I went to borrow from the next door. They said three pounds of meat for ten pounds of fine grains. You've already eaten the fine grains, and today happens to be the New Year's pork distribution, so..."
"Oh, you're so stupid! You didn't know you had it in your pocket from the beginning? When they asked you for it, you said you took it home and ate it?"
Jiang Xiaoqin's face was full of complaints.
In the past, when Li Qiushu heard complaints, he only thought it was his own fault.
This time, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little annoyed.
It's like... I feel some kind of rejection from the bottom of my heart.
"I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer?" Jiang Xiaoqin said unhappily.
She now regrets choosing the loser Li Qiushu.
I originally thought that if I squeezed out Zhang Xiu Lan, I would be able to eat and drink the delicious food and drink the spicy drinks in the Li family.
