After the villagers gossiped about Zhou Ya for a while, the topic shifted to the village's New Year pig slaughtering tomorrow.
The pigs in Cihang Village are also being raised particularly well this year.
In the past, when paying public grain, the pigs submitted were all big fat pigs weighing 150 to 160 kilograms each.
The villagers have been raising their own New Year pigs for more than a month, and the most promising one is estimated to weigh about 180 kilograms.
In previous years, the brigade only kept three pigs, but this year it has four.
I estimate that everyone can get an extra 2 taels of meat this year.
At this time, the Zhou family still didn't know that Zhou Ya had returned home, but the news had already become a topic of conversation among the villagers after dinner.
Lin Shulan was also discussing with Zhou Baoguo about buying meat with the team tomorrow.
"Old man, when the meat is distributed to the team tomorrow, you should run faster when you can buy it. Yaya suffered a lot in the Wang family before, and her health has been greatly damaged. We have to buy more meat to nourish her.
The third couple are not on the team, so they don’t get any meat. You should get ahead of them and buy some for them as well. The third elder’s daughter is pregnant, so she can’t lack nutrition…”
The production team’s pork was distributed like grain. After it was distributed according to the number of people and work points, the remaining pork could be purchased by the members.
But the meat is limited, so it’s on a first-come, first-served basis. If you queue up at the back, you won’t be able to buy it once it’s sold out.
Zhou Baoguo listened and tapped his pipe. "I know, I know. It's just a small matter. You've mentioned it seven or eight times today."
Lin Shulan glared at Zhou Baoguo and said, "Why do I keep repeating this? It's because you always let others buy first in previous years. You were the last to buy. If you were lucky, you could pick up some bones. If you were unlucky, you wouldn't even have bones to pick up."
"Ahem..." Zhou Baoguo cleared his throat awkwardly.
In previous years, he thought that the third brother was an officer, and as his father was an officer, he had a higher political awareness and had to be courteous to the masses, so he always let others buy first.
Zhou Baoguo was too lazy to listen to the old woman's nagging, so he walked out with one hand behind his back, smoking his pipe.
The next day, at about four in the morning, Shen Chu Ning heard bursts of heated conversation coming from outside.
She suddenly remembered that the team was going to slaughter the New Year pig today.
Quickly sat up.
As soon as I sat up, I saw Zhou Yubai had gotten up at some point and was sitting at the desk, reading and studying under the desk lamp.
She suddenly felt a little ashamed. Although she was studying, she had to go to bed at 10 o'clock every night at the latest.
Although Zhou Yubai slept with her at night, he woke up much earlier than her in the morning.
Anyway, ever since Zhou Yubai brought back the desk lamp, no matter what time she opened her eyes at night, she could see Zhou Yubai studying under the lamp.
As soon as she sat up, Zhou Yubai noticed it immediately.
Zhou Yubai turned around and looked at the little woman's eyes which were still a little hazy after she just woke up, and his heart softened unconsciously.
He stood up and walked to Shen Chuning and sat down, kissing her smooth forehead, "Wife, why did you wake up so early? Did you have a nightmare?"
Shen Chu Ning hugged the man's muscular arms, shook his head, and smiled widely, "The village is slaughtering pigs for the New Year today, and I want to watch the slaughter."
Killing the New Year pig is absolutely a huge temptation for country children.
In the past, when she was stupid and looked down on everything in the countryside, she would always be attracted by watching the slaughter of the New Year pig.
Every year when it was time to slaughter the New Year pig, she would ask her father to wake her up early, and then she would put on her most beautiful clothes and shoes to watch the slaughtering of the New Year pig.
In this way, she could watch the slaughtering of the New Year pig and enjoy the envious gazes of other girls in the village.
Zhou Yubai looked at her little appearance and couldn't help but scratch her upturned nose lovingly, "Okay, I'll help you put on your clothes and take you to watch the New Year pig slaughtering."
Anyway, today is a day off, and after watching the New Year pig slaughtering, she can continue to catch up on her sleep.
With the help of Zhou Yubai, Shen Chuning was wrapped up like a little bear.
Zhou Yubai made her a bowl of malted milk and asked her to drink it before he went out with her.
Even though she was dressed like this, the man was still afraid that she would catch a cold, so he would wrap her in his coat as soon as they went out.
When Zhou Yubai opened the gate, Shen Chuning saw a figure squatting outside his own gate.
"Dad, why are you squatting at the door? Are you cold?" Shen Chuning quickly ran towards Shen Qingsong.
When Shen Qingsong saw his daughter running towards him, he quickly reached out to hold her, revealing the kind smile of an old father, "My dear, run slower, the ground is frosty and slippery!"
"The team is slaughtering the New Year pig today, and Dad just wanted to come and see if you want to go. If you want to go, Dad will go with you."
When Shen Chu Ning heard this, she thought of how her father had carried her on his back to see the New Year pigs since she could remember until she was eleven or twelve years old.
Later, when she grew up, her heart was blinded by lard. Not only did she not want her father to carry her, she also began to dislike her father.
Shen Chu Ning felt warm and sour in her heart, "Dad, why don't you knock on the door? It's so cold squatting at the door!"
When she asked this question, she already had the answer in her heart.
Dad was worried that she didn't plan to go to see the New Year pig slaughtering, so he knocked on the door and called her, which would disturb her rest.
Shen Qingsong smiled kindly and honestly again, "It's okay, Dad is wearing the new cotton-padded jacket, new cotton-padded pants, and new cotton-padded shoes that you made for him. He is also wearing the new sweater you knitted for him. He is warm and not cold at all!"
Shen Qingsong held his daughter's hand and said, "Dear girl, let's go and watch the New Year pig being slaughtered."
Zhou Yubai quickly stepped forward and held his wife's hand, "Dad, I'll help Ningning, you be careful, watch your step, don't fall."
