There was nothing at home that needed Ye Xiaoxiao's help. After she got up and cleaned up, she helped to set the table.
Ye Bao looked up and stared at Ye Xiaoxiao, feeling that Aunt Xiao had taken his job away from him.
Ye Xiaoxiao lowered her head and looked at the fat guy.
"It's morning now, no sweets."
Ye Bao puffed up his face, how annoying! He didn't want to eat candy at all.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out what the child was thinking, so she pinched his chubby face and continued with her work.
Ye Bao: "..."
Heavy snow closed the mountain, and Baishi Village became completely isolated from the world.
After dinner, the children practiced calligraphy on the kang. The snow stopped in the afternoon and a few gunshots were heard from the back mountain.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked up in confusion, wondering why there was a gunshot.
Ye Jianguo and Ye Changqing went out to take a look, and Ye Changqing came back after a while.
"Two wild boars were killed in the back mountain. The villagers will distribute the pork today."
"When will the meat be distributed?"
Ye Changning immediately threw the pen in his hand. He never liked playing this game.
What's so fun about practicing calligraphy?
“Really?”
Ye Xiaoxiao was still writing seriously, but she immediately looked up when she heard the words.
She had never eaten wild boar because wild boar was also a protected animal in her time.
Now you can even hunt wild boars.
Ye Changsheng: "Fortunately, it is sunny now, otherwise the food in the field would have been wasted by wild boars."
Ye Changqing: "Kill them now, and divide them up later."
Ye Changning: "Who fired the gun just now?"
Ye Changqing: "They should be the militia in training. We need to give them one of the wild boars."
Ye Changning sat back down, "Then I guess we won't get much."
Ye Changqing shook his head helplessly: "There are so many people in the village, how much do you want to share?"
Before the sun set, the brigade asked every household to send one person to collect the pork.
It was too cold outside, but Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to go outside, so she put on thick clothes and went out.
Since Ye Xiaoxiao came here, she has never seen the village so lively.
Everyone appeared in the brigade yard with basins in their hands.
The pork is in the stove room, otherwise it would freeze quickly in the current temperature outside.
The person in charge of distributing the pork was the village chief Zhang Rengui.
Some people stood in front, and discussed with the village chief whether they could give more meat and less bones.
Zhang Rengui was impartial and said, "Whatever is divided is counted, don't be picky."
"Village chief, there are eight people in our family, and you only give us this much."
Zhang Rengui: "This is distributed according to household registration, not according to the number of people. The wild boars were hunted by the militia comrades. If we calculate it again, there will be no more."
The villagers who had been speaking were choked with complaints and dared not say anything anymore.
Ye Changning took a basin and went to get the pork. He didn't care how much he got. He just said hello to Zhang Rengui and went back.
If Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't wanted to come out and see, he wouldn't have wanted to share it.
But even so, there are still people looking for trouble.
"Chang Ning is here too. I heard that you made a lot of money out there. Why are you still thinking about this little bit of meat?"
The person who spoke was an auntie with a mole on the corner of her mouth. I didn't know her real name, but everyone in the village called her Auntie Dazhi.
I don’t know who gave me this nickname, but it’s quite appropriate.
Ye Changning was in a bad mood. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the other party, then said with a sneer, "Auntie Dazhi, where did you hear that I made money? And the village chief just said that the meat is distributed according to households. Aren't we considered villagers?"
Dazhi's aunt didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed, instead she said even more arrogantly: "Chang Ning, don't worry, aunt said this because she was thinking that if your family didn't lack meat, you could leave some for everyone."
She saw it all that day, when Ye Changning went out to pick up that idiot and came back carrying several pounds of meat.
Then doesn't Ye Changning make more money?
You still care about this little bit of meat.
"What you said is strange. Everyone's life is very difficult now, but how come we don't lack meat? I see that Auntie is always gossiping about other people's affairs, so she must be hungry."
"You young man..."
Aunt Dazhi had never seen such a capable young man before, and was suddenly speechless.
At this time, there were still people queuing at the back. Seeing the people in front of them dawdling, they began to urge them to hurry up.
"Auntie Dazhi, stop talking nonsense and move forward quickly."
"That's right, you're just wasting time. Aunt Dazhi is trying to take advantage of someone."
Aunt Dazhi was ashamed and angry, "Who took advantage of me? I just chatted for a few days."
Ye Changning laughed, turned and left.
Ye Xiaoxiao could hear what was being said, but Ye Changning didn't look like he needed help, so she just stood by and watched with her hands in her pockets.
Ye Changning took the meat and said, "Let's go. This is the amount of meat."
Ye Xiaoxiao took a look and found that it was actually two kilograms, which was not a small amount.
"Third brother, who were you arguing with just now?"
Ye Changning motioned Ye Xiaoxiao to go and see, "Auntie Dazhi is the person in the village who is more hated than Auntie Meili."
Wang Meili just likes to gossip and spread rumors.
Aunt Dazhi loves to take advantage of others and even likes to steal things from other people's homes.
But she usually took away private things, and it was difficult for others to ask for them, so they could only suffer the loss silently.
Therefore, Aunt Dazhi is a very annoying person in the village.
Ye Xiaoxiao took a look at the man. He was easy to recognize, with a mole next to his mouth.
Old people used to say that a mole near the mouth is a sign of good fortune, but now that seems to be not quite true.
Ye Xiaoxiao went out for a stroll and then went back with Ye Changning. There was still a lot of snow on the road and no one was cleaning it.
Fortunately, she was wearing leather boots, otherwise her pants would have been wet.
After returning, Ye Changning gave the pork to Miao Cuifang, and Ye Xiaoxiao went to change her shoes.
Miao Cuifang took the meat and said, "This meat is more chewy than ordinary pork. I'll chop it up and make some meat dumplings for you."
Ye Bao jumped happily: "Okay, time to eat meat."
Ye Baoyuan also raised his hand: "Okay, okay."
"You two greedy bastards, go back to your house and stop causing trouble here."
Miao Cuifang drove the two devils away and busy herself in the kitchen.
Zhang Xue was also in the kitchen. She was already preparing for the Chinese New Year, making some fried food.
Miao Cuifang said to Zhang Xue, "Xue'er, our family has prepared a lot of New Year's goods this year. When you go back to your parents' home in June, please bring more things."
Zhang Xue and Ye Changqing were high school classmates. When they were together, Zhang Xue's parents were unwilling to let her marry into Baishi Village.
But Zhang Xue was determined to be with Ye Changqing. The relationship in the family had been average in recent years.
However, all parents hope that their children can live a good life, and Zhang Xue's family gave her a lot of money.
Zhang Xue agreed, "Mom, you don't need to take so many things."
Miao Cuifang: "How can that be possible? You finally come home and I have prepared all the things for you. Remember to take them when you go."
Zhang Xue is able to take care of her parents-in-law and her younger siblings in this family. She is the person who contributes the most to the Ye family.
Miao Cuifang also remembered the kindness of her daughter-in-law and helped her with all the work.
