"Yeah, sure."
Only then did Shen Qingsong realize that his beloved daughter was no longer the little girl whom he alone protected.
His sweet girl is now grown up, has a husband, and will soon have children of her own.
The hot water in the pot on the brigade's drying dam was already boiling.
Four big fat pigs have been driven out of the pigsty and onto the drying dam, and the butcher's knife has been sharpened to a shine.
Several strong men worked together to press the first pig onto the chopping board.
All the villagers gathered on the drying dam, craning their necks to watch the fun. As the butcher's knife stabbed into the pig's neck, the fat pig let out a whine.
The atmosphere among the villagers was joyful and enthusiastic.
The moment Zhou Yubai stabbed the knife into the pig's neck and ended its life, he covered Shen Chuning's eyes.
Shen Chuning: …
The next four pigs were killed one after another. The villagers were so excited that everyone who could come forward to help went up to help. Some poured hot water on the pigs' hair, and some scraped the pigs' hair.
There is strength in numbers. Just as daybreak approached, the four fat pigs had been taken care of.
Team leader Zhou Conglin and team secretary Shen Weidong watched and weighed all the meat before letting the butcher cut it into small pieces.
The brigade accountant He Guoqiang checked the number of people and work points of each family, and the brigade leader and secretary were responsible for distributing the meat.
This year, the production team's pigs are big and fat, and they raised one more than last year.
All in all, no one could get two taels more meat than last year. Some families with many people and strong laborers who earned more work points even got more than ten kilograms of meat.
Zhou Baoguo and Lin Shulan each received 2.8 jin of meat.
Zhou Jiakang's family received 4.2 jin.
Because Zhou Jun worked in the factory and had no work points, Zhou Jun's family lost a strong laborer and only received 2.6 jin of meat, which was 2 liang less than Zhou Baoguo and Lin Shulan. This was mainly because Xia Yue'e was the only one in their family who earned work points, so the amount of meat they received was less.
Because the Shen family had three strong laborers, they received a total of 5.4 jin of meat.
For people like Shen Chuning and Zhou Yubai, whose grain and oil resources were not in the production team, naturally they did not get any meat.
After the brigade's allotment of meat was distributed this year, there were still 120 kilograms of lean meat left, and the miscellaneous items from four pigs totaled about 100 kilograms.
Members are allowed to buy these with their own money.
Lin Shulan pushed Zhou Baoguo and asked him to buy it quickly.
In previous years, Zhou Baoguo, considering his father's status as a military officer, always let others buy first.
This year he was no longer modest and rushed to the front, directly cutting ten kilograms.
Shen Chuning didn't know what was going on. In the past, she particularly disliked pig offal, but now when she looked at the pig intestines that had just been cleaned, she could still smell the very unique stench even under her nose tip. Her mind began to think of delicious ways to cook braised pig intestines, braised pig intestines, steamed pig intestines with rice flour, pig intestine pea soup, etc.
She saw Zhou Baoguo cutting meat and quickly wanted to ask her father to buy her a pair of pig intestines.
But before she could say anything, Zhou Yubai shouted what she wanted to say.
Shen Chuning turned her head and looked at the man with bright eyes full of surprise.
Zhou Yubai met her eyes, ruffled her soft hair with his big hands, stretched out his long arms, and pulled her into his arms to protect her.
