"Why are you guys here?"
"Come and visit."
"Wait for a bowl of pig's blood soup."
"Uncle, our village is also slaughtering pigs, so we can go back just in time."
After saying this, several people left in a swagger.
Li Mingqing asked, "Who are these people? Why haven't I seen them before?"
"He's from the village next door. He used to come to our village every day when he was little. I don't know what he's doing here this time."
As he was speaking, Li Goudan and Liu Xiang came over.
"You're such a loser! You just gave me ten dollars like that, and you're not going to default on it?"
"Keep your voice down! Are you blind? Can't you see that we are about to empty our food supply?"
"You are incompetent, otherwise how could this happen?"
"Don't force me to slap you with so many people!"
Liu Xiang shut up immediately. She had been beaten a lot during this period.
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue watched as a large basin of pig blood was put into boiling water, splashing some water.
"Wife, take some pig's blood back and fry it later."
"Okay, I'll get one later."
Zhang Lihua said, "There's so much pig blood, each family can get two pieces."
Zhou Xiaoshuang looked at Zhang Lihua and said, "I didn't expect to see you come back for the New Year. I thought you would stay in the city for the New Year. I rarely see you back to the village."
She was clearly talking nonsense.
Li Mingli and his wife return to the village every week.
"Maybe you're not in the village often and don't see me coming back often."
"Impossible. I've always stayed in the village and never left. Don't try to fool me. We all know each other. Even if I were to live in the county town, I wouldn't want to go back to this shabby little village."
After Zhou Xiaoshuang finished speaking, he looked at Wu Liguo and said, "If you work hard, we can try to live in the county town."
Wu Liguo agreed on the surface but felt it was a pipe dream in his heart.
This isn't something that can be accomplished just by talking.
Wu Lili casually said, "It's not easy to live in the county town, and it's even harder for ordinary people. We've barely managed to avoid starvation this year, so it's impossible for us to live in the county town."
"If your Zhang family can't do that, our Wu family might not."
"Your Wu family isn't living as well as our Zhang family. Even if we don't talk about anything else, just look at the work points this year. You can't compare to our Zhang family."
Zhou Xiaoshuang thought about it and realized that there were so many people working in the Zhang family, but they only had two people.
If I had known earlier, I would have supported the old couple of the Wu family. At least they would have someone working.
She turned to Li Mingqing and said, "You are at least a member of the village. Half a year has passed and I haven't seen you get a worker quota for the villagers."
"Don't force me to scold you on New Year's Day."
Wu Liguo looked at him and immediately pulled Zhou Xiaoshuang aside.
What crazy things are you saying? If the villagers heard them, they would definitely scold them to death. You can't just say such things casually.
Today, Li Mingqing’s status in the village is comparable to that of the village chief.
In order to live a good life in the village, don't provoke public anger, so as to avoid a bad ending.
Old Lady Zhang pulled the gloating Wu Lili away.
It's a troublesome thing that can cause trouble even when you're not paying attention.
Sun Jiaxue stood beside Li Mingqing waiting to get the pork to take back for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Zhang Chuner came over and gave her the frozen hawthorns she had picked up in the mountains.
"You and your brother can eat."
"Aunt, if there's any left at home, just take it."
Looking at her little hands that were frozen red, she finally accepted the frozen hawthorns.
Seeing her accept it, Zhang Chun'er left with a smile.
Li Mingqing said, "This hawthorn looks quite sour."
"It's just right, it's sour. I like to eat something sour these days. But I've received Chun'er's hawthorns. I'll bring some fruit candies later."
"Don't go in such a cold weather. Ask Xiangdong and his men to take it over."
"Don't order the kids around for anything. It's not good to let Big Brother know."
"Kids are full of energy. It's just a matter of convenience, not a favor. They're going to the river at the entrance of the village to skate, so we'll just give them a ride."
Sun Jiaxue listened and thought that this was the case.
Children can't sit still, so they only do their homework at home during the first few days of school holidays. Now they are rarely idle at home.
The villagers spontaneously lined up to get pork.
Li Mingqing was originally standing in the middle of the team, and everyone persuaded him to go to the front.
“It’s quite near the front.”
"Just listen to everyone, Mingqing, go to the front quickly."
Seeing that everyone said so, if he continued to refuse, the whole village would probably come to persuade him.
He picked the hind leg meat, which was all lean meat.
The villagers were deeply moved when they saw it.
Lean meat is so tough, only fatty meat is delicious.
Not only can it be used to make lard, it also makes delicious dishes.
The village chief advised: "Let's have some fat meat, it will make the cooking more delicious."
"Okay, a little bit."
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue carried two pieces of meat and took two pieces of pig's blood from the side.
On the way back, I happened to meet Zhang Dong'er and her silly mother walking towards this side. I don't need to go there later, just give it to her now.
Li Mingqing took out a handful of fruit candies from the space and gave them to Sun Jiaxue.
"Dong'er, Happy New Year, this is for you and your sister."
Zhang Dong'er waved her hand and said, "Happy New Year. Auntie, I can't accept it."
"Take it, sweet mouth. Auntie also accepted the hawthorns given by your sister."
Sun Jiaxue stuffed the candy into his pocket.
"Brother Mingqing, go back."
In the evening, Li Mingqing invited Li Mingli and others to come home for the New Year's Eve dinner.
I also opened a new bottle of white wine.
The four sisters-in-law were busy cooking and making dumplings in the kitchen.
"Jiaxue, your kitchen is so warm that the garlic here has sprouted."
"The kitchen and the house are connected."
Zhang Lihua looked up and saw an iron tube connecting the two rooms.
