What could Shen Ruofei say? She had come to Yi Xiaoqiu to watch the fun, but she didn't expect that the opportunity to make money at the end of the year would be gone.
"Oh! Everyone is waiting to share the meat! If you come late, you won't get any good meat!" Shen Ruofei rolled her eyes and quickly changed the subject.
Can Yi Xiaoqiu say that he doesn’t need that little bit of meat?
During the Chinese New Year, when pigs were slaughtered and the meat was distributed according to work points, no matter how many work points she earned, she could not get as much as those from families with more people.
She ran there early to wait, and not only was she given a frozen dog, but she was also given two pounds of meat and a bowl of pig-killing dish as a treat.
If it was in the past when she was down and out, she would definitely be very positive, but now...
I have no worries about food and drink, so I really don’t want to move.
"Listen to me, let's go later. It's still early now! The meat is there and it won't run away. You can come up and lie down for a while!" Yi Xiaoqiu said lazily.
Shen Ruofei had no choice but to take off her shoes and cotton-padded clothes and lie down on the kang.
The kang is warm, and the wind is so cold outside. No wonder Yi Xiaoqiu doesn't want to get up. It's too comfortable!
Unlike her room, the kang is not warm every morning when she wakes up.
We can only blame her for this. She slept so well that she slept all night long without any firewood or anything. By the time dawn came, the kang must have been cold, right?
Yi Xiaoqiu never got up in the middle of the night to collect firewood, but she had a housekeeper!
Every night the housekeeper came out from the farm to add firewood to the kang. From morning to night, the temperature on Yi Xiaoqiu's kang never dropped, and the whole house was warm.
The housekeeper was worried that Yi Xiaoqiu would catch a cold, so he set an alarm to remind him to come out and collect firewood.
Since having a butler, Yi Xiaoqiu has really lived a life of having food and clothes provided for him. It has to be said that the robot butler is really thoughtful.
Shen Ruofei lay on the kang and soon fell asleep.
"Yi Zhiqing, it's time to distribute the meat! Come out quickly!" Lu Huaian has been staring at the auditorium.
It's not appropriate to slaughter pigs outside in this cold weather. If the pigs are not slaughtered outside, they will be frozen and have to be processed indoors.
Seeing that everything was almost clean, Lu Huaian quickly ran to the backyard to inform Yi Xiaoqiu to line up for the pork.
Before Yi Xiaoqiu could say anything, Shen Ruofei jumped up from the kang.
“Here I come!”
She is not like Yi Xiaoqiu who can eat meat whenever she wants. If she wants to eat meat, she has to spend money to buy it, and the key is that she may not be able to buy it.
If it were the black market, the meat would be extremely expensive, but this time the team is sharing the meat for free!
How could Shen Ruofei not be proactive!
Yi Xiaoqiu wrapped herself in three layers of cotton clothes and trousers. The winter in the Great Northern Wilderness was really cold, and she really didn't want to go out.
But she couldn't help but appreciate the kind reminder.
As soon as he went out, Yi Xiaoqiu shivered with cold.
Lu Huaian stamped his feet and stood outside the door.
"Thank you, Lu Zhiqing, for reminding us. Let's go!" Shen Ruofei quickly adapted and started walking.
Lu Huaian nodded at Yi Xiaoqiu in a panic, "I came to get the bowl, and then I remembered that you guys were not there, so I came to take a look..."
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't think much about it. "Thanks for reminding me, otherwise we would have overslept."
"You'd better take a bowl too, there will be pig-killing dishes later." Lu Huaian reminded him.
"Ruofei, I'll take two bowls. Don't take any more."
Yi Xiaoqiu called Shen Ruofei and took out two bowls from the room.
"Let's go!"
The slaughterhouse is in the auditorium, which is opposite the educated youth site. It is closer to go through the main gate.
To go through the main gate, you have to go through the small door in the main hall.
When the few people passed by the main hall, the rooms on both sides were quiet. It seemed that everyone had lined up early to share the meat.
"Oh! They are all gone, let's hurry up." Shen Ruofei couldn't help but urge them when she saw that everyone in the room had left.
As the three of them walked out of the yard of the educated youth center, they saw a long queue. It seemed that everyone was queuing up to get their share of the meat!
They arrived last and were at the back of the line.
Shen Ruofei was not in a hurry to queue up. She pulled Yi Xiaoqiu to go in and take a look to see if the pig slaughtering was as Xiaoqiu said.
The two of them squeezed to the front of the line, and before they even entered the auditorium, they could smell the heat and the stench coming towards them.
Shen Ruofei saw out of the corner of her eye that there was a big pot inside, with something steaming in it. Just as she was about to take a closer look, someone suddenly pulled her arm from behind.
"Chen Zhiqing, you still want to cut in line? First come, first served, do you understand? Hurry up and line up at the back!"
Guifen's mother had been waiting in the auditorium since early morning. She was the first in line. She had just twisted her neck to talk to the person behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Zhiqing standing in front of her. She immediately became unhappy.
Ever since her daughter was beaten by the educated youth, she has had no good impression of all the educated youth.
"Why does it bother you if I look at you? This land belongs to your family." Shen Ruofei was not a soft persimmon, and she started to retort.
"Hey! Girl, you are blocking my way and you won't let me say a word? I am the first one here. You can't cut in line with me!" Guifen's mother is a fierce woman. She is not afraid of these educated youth.
"Hey! Auntie, you are the first in line. Do you think you are so great just because you are the first? This door is not yours. I want to see it so I can. What's it to you?" Shen Ruofei stiffened her neck.
She just wanted to take a look, but this gossipy woman started to slander her for cutting in line. How could she tolerate this?
The door of the auditorium is a double door. Shen Ruofei was watching from one side while Guifen's mother was queuing on the left. Logically, the two of them should not be touching each other, but Shen Ruofei and Yi Xiaoqiu kept looking outside the door, and Yi Xiaoqiu happened to be standing behind Shen Ruofei, as if they had formed a new line. Guifen's mother couldn't stand it anymore!
She stood outside the door for a long time in the cold wind. These educated youths wanted to join the queue as soon as they arrived, but she refused to do it!
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the old women behind them kept fanning the flames for Guifen's mother.
Yi Xiaoqiu quickly pulled Shen Ruofei's clothes and said, "We've finished looking. It's too smelly here. We don't know how long it will take to divide the meat. Let's go to the back!"
She really didn't want to be here. It was New Year's Day, and she didn't want to quarrel with these old women.
Shen Ruofei nodded, with a look of disgust on her face: "If it weren't for this old lady dragging me to argue, I would have left long ago. It's unlucky!"
Yi Xiaoqiu pulled Shen Ruofei to the queue. When Lu Huaian saw the two of them finished watching the excitement, he quickly called them over.
"Yi Zhiqing, come here, we have reserved a place for you."
Yi Xiaoqiu saw that there were another ten or so people lined up behind them and felt a little hesitant. The distance between them was not far, so he thought it would be better to just stand behind them to avoid being criticized.
"I know you guys come over to line up after watching the excitement. I've already told the people behind me when they come. There are two people ahead of me." Lu Huaian took a step back and explained to Yi Xiaoqiu in a low voice.
"Wow! Lu Zhiqing, you are so thoughtful!" Shen Ruofei stood directly in front of him.
Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at the person behind him and saw that he really didn't have any expression of dissatisfaction, so he walked between the two of them.
If someone cuts in line at that time, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied. Who doesn't want to get the meat early and celebrate the New Year after getting the meat? But it's not because the people behind you come late!
When we came, Lu Zhiqing said there were two people ahead, but they had never seen a pig being slaughtered before, so they were just there to watch the fun and would come over later.
Whether there are people or not, people still have to queue and the pork has to be divided.
After a while, Yi Zhiqing and the others really came from the gate. If they came from another direction, the people behind them could still say that Lu Zhiqing was lying and refused to let Yi Xiaoqiu and the others cut in line because they didn't come, but who could blame Lu Zhiqing for telling the truth?
These two people really came from the main gate.
