Chapter 1795: Things Are Different Now 8
When they heard the word "kill pigs", everyone's eyes lit up, and Lu Erxiong's eyes were even brighter than light bulbs.
Others were thinking about slaughtering a pig, as the pig-killing dishes were the most suitable way to entertain those who had been away from home for too long. However, Lu Erxiong was just thinking about having a good meal of meat.
Although the Lu family is not short of meat, Lu Erxiong has an inexplicable craving for meat and would feel anxious if he didn't eat it for a meal.
Wang Zhengguo naturally hoped that the children of his niece's family would eat well, dress well, adapt to the life in their hometown, and remember the local customs and practices of their hometown when they become capable in the future. However, he could not act according to his own wishes. He calculated the time and said with a smile: "Kill them the day after tomorrow. I will let Yue Jin take a leave the day after tomorrow and kill pigs with the strong laborers of our brigade. We will keep six and kill twelve, so that the elders and villagers can have a good New Year!"
Adults and children cheered. After being busy all year round, isn’t it just for a bite of meat at the end of the year?
As for slaughtering pigs and making a big pot of meat during the busy farming season, they selectively forgot about it at this moment.
Wang Zhengguo continued, "We'll go fishing tomorrow, while it's not snowing and the river isn't frozen. In the evening, have people cast some big nets. We'll see how many fish we can catch tomorrow, and then each household will share some."
In order not to disturb Wang Zhengguo, Cheng Baoguo and others who were reminiscing about the past, and because it was almost noon, everyone finished smoking, sat for a while and then left one after another. The main room finally returned to peace, without the annoying noise.

Old hen stewed with mushrooms and old duck stewed with dried bamboo shoots, the taste is amazing.
Guan Yu smiled and said, "Didn't Third Grandpa, Third Grandma, and my brothers and sisters come all the way home? Anyway, Tianzhi and I have very little work, so we each took three days off. Uncle, will you share the chickens and ducks this year? If not, you can let us buy them with money. Please believe that our family is not short of money."
Members are allowed to buy chicken, duck and goose eggs in limited quantities, and the same applies to chicken, duck and goose meat. It’s just that some families can afford it and are willing to buy it to entertain their families, while others cannot.
Wang Zhengguo said unhappily, "Why didn't you go to work with Tianzhi today? Today is Monday, not a day off."
Everyone's faces suddenly became happy. They were catching fish and slaughtering pigs. How could their lives not be prosperous?
While Zhou Zhou and Wang Cuilan were making lunch, Guan Yu said with a smile, "Uncle, when will you give us the chickens and ducks?"
He has been missing the old hens and ducks in the farm for a long time.
The situation in Wanglou Brigade is very good, but not every household lives a well-off life.
Some were starving because of problems with their children's marriage, some suffered from helping relatives and friends, and some were lazy and earned few work points, so they got no money and naturally fell into poverty. They wished they could spend every penny carefully. Such people could not even buy chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and eggs. They might not even take all the meat distributed by the brigade because the money had to be deducted from the work points.
To sum up, the brigade has enough chickens, ducks, fish, meat and eggs, enough for well-off people to buy.
Wang Zhengguo glared at him. "Are you afraid that other families don't know that you have money? It's the end of the year, and many families are suffering from famine. They are worried about where to borrow money to solve their current difficulties! They don't dare to ask your third grandfather and third grandmother, so can't they ask your wife? I think you just have too much money to burn."
Guan Yu protested, "I remember when I was a kid, my aunt often bought us pig offal to eat. Why didn't you say anything to my aunt? I'm abiding by the rules of our brigade and not buying more chicken, duck, fish, meat, and eggs than the quota."
