How could I miss such a big event as dividing the meat?
Not to mention the huge crowds, all the villagers, both adults and children, came.
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue also came out to watch the fun.
The village chief sent people to Lao Li's house, Zhang Cuihua's house, Zhao Hongbin's house, and Zhang Chengming's house to tie up the pigs.
There is no harm without comparison.
It was obvious that the pigs in Zhang Cuihua's family were not getting enough to eat.
The flesh on the pigs raised by Old Li trembled every time he walked.
The contrast is too obvious.
Zhao Hongbin and Zhang Chengming's families raise their children at a normal weight.
Old Man Wu asked, "Your pig is really fat. It must have been fed a lot of food."
"It's okay. I just feed the pigs with grain in the winter and go to the mountains to cut grass for the pigs the rest of the time."
"Your family will definitely get a lot of meat."
The villagers looked at Old Man Li with envy.
This is meat.
People look forward to slaughtering pigs all year round, some are happy while others are sad.
But most of them were happy, after all, they could eat meat.
Watching the white knife go in and the red knife come out.
It took until four o'clock in the afternoon to clean up everything.
Take out the old beam scale.
Those weighing more than 50 kilograms are thick and long.
The weight is very large, cylindrical.
When weighing, insert a wooden stick into the wire ring of the old beam scale, and one person on each side lifts it with their shoulders.
Old Lady Li carried a large piece of meat home in the envious eyes of everyone.
Zhang Cuihua turned around and left, asking Wang Daguo to stay and wait for the meat to be divided.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Although some people are not satisfied with the numbers when drawing lots, it is all fate.
Finally, the village chief and the team leader found a cart, put the designated meat on it and pulled it to the town.
The people from the commune were already waiting there.
People from various villages gradually pushed their carts over.
——
Li family.
Old Lady Li is distributing the meat.
A total of 42 pounds of meat were divided.
Eight kilograms were given to each of the four sons, and ten kilograms were left for the old couple.
As soon as Li Mingqing arrived, he saw his old mother busy dividing the meat.
"Mom, don't bother. Just stay at your house. We have to eat the New Year's Eve dinner here, and there's no shortage of meat at home."
“Even if there is no shortage, there will be points.”
If she covers herself with the meat, she will definitely not be able to sleep at night.
Besides, the family has split up, and it’s not good for her to stay alone.
"Mom, the fact that this pig has grown this big is all thanks to you and Dad. We didn't contribute, so we don't need to share."
"Why aren't you doing anything? You just throw some vegetable leaves here and there, it's not like you're just doing nothing."
In fact, Yang Daya and Li Lizhu also felt guilty.
I really didn't care much about it, except that sometimes when I passed by the house and remembered, I would throw some food there.
The ones who work on raising pigs are the old couple of the Li family.
Feed the pigs on time and clean the pigpen.
These are the hard work, they just do it on a whim.
Li Lizhu also said: "Yes, we also divided some pork, you two can keep it."
"Listen to what you're saying. Your father and I can't finish all this meat. If the weather gets warmer, it might become unpalatable. Let each family share a portion."
In the end, each of the four brothers Li Mingqing received eight kilograms of pork.
The village only distributed less than two kilograms of pork.
Add to that eight pounds of pork, and this year will be a year of great wealth.
