Life of a hundred flavors (13)

The Chinese New Year is coming!

The most important thing during the Chinese New Year is to eat meat. Perhaps it was smoked by the meat flavor of the Lin family. The pigs raised by the production brigade should have been killed before the New Year. Although there is a feed farm in the village, pigs must be fed frequently to grow well. What should I feed frequently? It is best to feed frequently to give extra meals in the middle of the night. In order to give extra meals to the pigs in the middle of the night, the pigs must be raised in a weak labor force that cannot do heavy work, but people are diligent in the family.

Aunt Guo, the widowed woman in the village, belongs to such a family. Aunt Guo did not have a surname, but she had no surname. The beggar woman who passed by took her and sold her to the landlord Guo family as a maid. Later, she grew up and married the groom of the Guo family. The groom took her boss out, but she disappeared when she met a bandit. At that time, the two got married not long ago, but her husband disappeared. The Guo family thought that Aunt Guo was not lucky and was defeated. She drove the people out and did not ask to stay in the Guo family. She had no other place to go. In the village, there happened to be an old lady with no son paralyzed and no one was serving her. She went to serve the old lady and asked for a place to live. This service was

For more than ten years, ordinary daughters were not as good as her. The old lady was an elder of the same clan of the Guo family, and the Guo family did not chase her anymore. She relied on washing and chores to support her and the old lady. Later, the old lady was gone and the yard was her. She was also freed at that time, and she was not afraid that the landlord Guo family would chase her again, and lived a life alone. She was a good-natured person, kind-hearted, and never argued with others. Later, I don’t know who gave birth to a girl, so I wrapped the child in the middle of the night and put it at the entrance of the alley nearest to her door. Aunt Guo, who had the earliest rising from the cold and heat, picked up the child. She took it in and named it Vanilla.

Everyone in the village knew it well that even if the parents of Vanilla were not from the village, they were from a certain village around them, no one had ever said that. Aunt Guo said he picked it up from outside, that was from outside. Before, she took care of her children, grandparents and grandchildren. Now, Vanilla can be used as an adult, but in order to take care of Aunt Guo, she still asked her to raise pigs for the production brigade. She usually beats pig grass and feeds it more diligently. That's all.

In this way, there are five pig-raising households in the entire production brigade, each of which is raised by one pig. Three of them have to be handed over to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the supply and marketing cooperative gives the brigade money. The remaining two households have to be paid by the head before the New Year. Every year, the pig raised by Aunt Guo will be secretly kept by the captain because this pig is the fattest.

In previous years, pigs were killed only on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. This year, I couldn’t wait any longer and shouted to kill pigs.

If you want to kill, kill it!

The loudspeaker notified the pigs to kill and asked everyone to go to the entrance of the brigade department. Lin Yutong didn't go! It was said that it was all holidays, and Lin Daniu could rest. But this person was disabled and lived well in the unit, and always had some advantages that others did not have. For example, when people were on holidays, he went on time to repair everyone's farm tools or the farm tools that were placed on the farm. Even several tractors were cleaned and covered with straw mats they had weaved. They knew that there were many places to use baskets in the farm in the beginning of spring, so when they were free, they would make some thorns and weaved baskets.

A unit always needs these people who are willing to work hard. If you say such a person, who will exclude him?

Lin Yutong also wanted to ask him to take a break, but he couldn't take a break. He still kept doing this and that at home. Two rows of straw sheds were built next to the wall, and rows of shelves were ordered inside, which was to dry wild vegetables for the next year. The furniture at home was not counted, so he gave it to the Fourth Master, the health center at Laoguan, and the classroom at school... None of these things are exquisite, but they are all more practical.

If you rest at home, you may go to help someone again. Since that's the case, it's better to go to the unit to do your job well.

I can't stop you!

He was not here, and Lin Yutong didn't go there consciously. This homestead land does not cost money. After all, there are many wastelands now, and the village will divide it into one courtyard and there is nothing to say. But it is not suitable to go there again if you divide it.

Not only did I not go, but the Fourth Master didn’t go either. I just didn’t want to part with me, but I don’t need to say it specifically for this. It saves each other’s embarrassment!

As a result, the trumpet of the brigade was on. Before the captain could keep the trumpet, he heard Lin Meiqin say, "There is no portion of commercial grain in our village. Especially for my family, I eat the most commercial grain, diligence and frugality! I am not commercial grain yet, but I won't receive a subsidy. After all, my family only has this portion of Dezi!"

Captain Han: "..." He didn't think of Lin Yutong or Lin Daniu, nor did he think of the Fourth Master, but thought that this time, he specially called Shuanzi back from the county town. You said that the child came back to kill the pig and didn't give him a pig tail after he finished. Isn't that appropriate?

He looked at the old school and said with a look of embarrassment. The old school secretary smoked the dry tobacco and said, "Then follow the old rules and burn pigs and vegetables to thank the people who have worked hard."

Captain Han responded loudly.

Killing pigs is also a skill, and if you can't kill meat, it's fishy. In previous years, I asked someone to kill pigs, so I had to go into the water to cook and treat them well. This year, I thought I'd save this meal and just ask Shuanzi to come back and kill. I'd like to give Suozi a pig's trotter or a pig's tail, even if I fooled it, it's just for everyone.

Who knew that she had come here like this, so let’s forget it, just treat Shuanzi to eat.

This is the old rule, and Lin Meiqin has nothing to say.

Everyone didn't know the account behind this, and they looked at each other, thinking that Lin Meiqin was really good! She had made a ruthless move on herself.

Widow Zhang was holding a basin to be used to distribute pig blood. She said, "Everyone lives for her descendants, but she is different from others."

"That's it! Or they are now a cadre, and you're still a stupid old lady."

A bunch of women gathered around and waited. The meat split depends on the power of each family. Those with more male students are all good meat. Those who have no male students are more bullied. Those with more bones at the edges and corners are all belong to these families. In the past, the Jin family belonged to the first portion. Now? What is the last one left.

Qi Ni was going to make trouble, but Jin Yuanbao was so nervous that he didn't dare to say anything. But looking at this kind of meat with only lean meat wrapped in bones, there was no big fat meat at all, and tears were almost falling. He muttered and scolded Jin Yuanbao.

Once the meat is divided, the people will disperse. Only those who cook very well in the village will be left to make pig-killing dishes.

Lin Yutong heard what Lin Meiqin said on the trumpet before, but she didn't care. If she didn't like meat, don't eat it. I don't lack the bite of meat distributed in the village. She slaughtered all the new loaches today, and then marinated them with fishy fish. Then she heard outside shouting, "Si Ya! Si Ya! Are you there?"

It was Captain Han’s voice.

Lin Yutong came out quickly, "Uncle! I'm here."

"Closed the door, go to the brigade headquarters. Today, the village has made pig-killing vegetables. You have to go. The kids used to pierce other people's tires. You have given us the matter of the boys piercing them..."

"Uncle, I won't go! I'm a little looser than the big guys."

"This is not the same thing! If the uncle's family makes delicious food, then ask the child to shout you. But today is different. You have another identity. Didn't you come to the door? Let's go! If you don't go, you won't give your uncle a face." As he said, "Where is your dad? Go together! If you don't go, you think your uncle has little face. You can't invite our Si Ya, the great god."

Speaking of this, we must go!

"I'll go! I'll go on behalf of my dad. Don't you know him yet? You can't live in your spare time and repair farm tools at your unit!"

"Let me leave a bowl for your dad to bring back!"

Look at what others say!

So, Lin Meiqin, what are you trying to do? If you say that, people won’t refute you. But when they look back, they use no reason to make up this one, and you still have nothing to say.

When he went there, the Fourth Master was already there, and he was invited by the old scholar. The Fourth Master had been helping several cars at the intersection. The more they were getting older, the more coal-pulled cars were. Now these people are smarter. Before leaving, they asked people to repair them to reduce the probability of accidents on the road. So, everyone was idle, and the Fourth Master found a job for himself. This maintenance was not in vain. Anyway, what you can take out is what you can do. Not much a day, more than a dozen cars checked, and the food at home was actually all white flour. The steamed steamed buns were afraid that people would see it. Lin Yutong always put eight cents of flour and two cents of corn flour when she made them. The steamed steamed buns were yellow, but the taste was soft. She also specially steamed pumpkin steamed buns, which were always the same for Lin Daniu. Anyway, a small piece of pumpkin can dye the steamed buns yellow, which looked similar to corn flour.

The Fourth Master was invited over. Now the room was sitting in addition to himself and the Fourth Master, Shuanzi and Jin Shengli.

Don’t look at the Jin family’s unpopularity, but Jin Shengli is still different. He drove back and forth, and there was something in the village and asked him to bring something, but he never let it go. Therefore, this code is one code. People are here.

He was not embarrassed, and the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were even more embarrassed. In addition, Uncle Suozi, Lao Guan, and the village clerks, accountants, and security directors, were also full of tables. Lin Meiqin said she was in charge of women's work, but the superiors asked her to take charge of her. She did not go up from the village election. Now, the village did not ask her to continue to take charge of her, nor did she say she would not ask her to take charge of her. So she was embarrassed. Now, it seems inappropriate to enter in the courtyard. If you don't go in, you can't even go out with the women who are cooking.

Captain Han felt that there were no outsiders today, so he talked about the previous case, "... Just those turtles in our village, you can't stand the hungry after stealing food, so it's understandable. Why are you doing a tire for someone? It's really a big deal to come to us. The money we sold pigs in our brigade this year is not enough to compensate others." As he said that, he poured wine to toast Lin Yutong, "Girl, uncle will give you one."

Lin Yutong quickly stood up, took his hands and raised it over his head to show respect, but did not dare to accept the elder's toast. He then returned the wine to the wine pot and poured the wine again toast the elders, "There are no outsiders, they are all elders. If you have something to tell me, that's all you should do. You said this today, this is treating me as an outsider. According to the old man, uncle and nephew are wrong to drink. It's a terrible evil! It's a terrible evil!"

The Fourth Master took the wine pot, "Several elders are free, let's hold the pot next to Brother Shuanzi..."

Shuanzi was dull and he couldn't let go of sitting at the same table with his father. He just smiled silly and nodded.

This is a very comfortable posture. If you talk about the topic, you will talk about other things.

Aunt Suozi stayed to cook, whispering in the courtyard with a big pot. She looked inside and said that the Siya of the Lin family was a perfect match with the two children of the Jin family, Yuanmin. She never knew that Siya's mouth was so coincidental! It would be a pity for such a girl to be a daughter-in-law, but looking at her son's uncomfortable appearance, she also understood that this daughter-in-law could not be suppressed by marrying her son.

Aunt Guo was the one who helped to burn the fire. The old man's eyes were bright and he said, "A good match is good! If you look for it, you can always find a good girl."

Aunt Suozi sighed and whispered, "Shuozi is not as promising as others." As she said that, she also understood what Aunt Guo meant. She understood that she looked down on the beauty of Widow Zhang's family.

If Si Ya used to be wilted, then Damei would still be wilted. It's different from her mother's person. She doesn't have such a quarrel, but she's too wilted. If she didn't look for a girl with a job, vanilla would be much better than Damei. At that time, I didn't consider vanilla, because of her own seedlings, vanilla was the only seedling that I picked up. In the future, will the two of them live less and help others? But is Damei a person who has a helper? Compared with vanilla, Damei has more sisters, but Xiaomei's girl is the second widow. If she has a mouth that causes trouble, what can she help? It would be nice if she doesn't drag her down.

While talking here, Lin Meiqin came over with a bundle of firewood and squatted beside her to add firewood to the pot for Aunt Guo.

Aunt Suozi said, "The fire should be smaller, and you can drink wine in it. The meal will take a long time. The soup in the pot cannot be gulped. The big bull did not come, so I asked Si Ya to bring some for the big bull later. To be honest, I would like to ask the big bull to take some at the construction site next year. He asked us to make it at home and use it for the designated one next spring." Anyway, I am idle, so what should I change to the farm?

Lin Meiqin nodded with a distorted face, "That person is a real person. He is really a good person!"

Aunt Suozi doesn't like her, especially today she took the initiative to say that she would not ask for meat to be distributed to commercial grains. The meat she had to be divided into one person was only more than one pound. But now the three of her family are eating here, so she eats more than one pound?

I don’t know if I thought she was targeting her own family! Therefore, the kind-hearted man also learned to stab people with a soft knife. "You don’t care about being honest with the big bull, why? You still care about the one inside? Are you waiting for someone here to stay?"

It's about Jin Shengli!

Lin Meiqin: "..." She didn't like to mention this person! She smiled stiffly, "Where did you want to go? How old are you? There is nothing to do." She said, and then she adjusted her expression, "That's the case. In order to solve the problem of workers' marriage, the coal mine also said that girls who are willing to marry into the coal mine should be given priority to go to the farm and have the opportunity to be a formal worker. I will ask, what did Vanilla say about the marriage? If... in fact, this is an opportunity!"

Aunt Guo was dissatisfied, "Miqin! What is marriage? Is it a joke? Whoever wants this opportunity wants to go, my vanilla is not available." As he said that, he got up and told Aunt Suozi, "It's all hot, it's hard to add firewood. Don't add firewood to it anymore, I'll go back first..."

Aunt Suozi quickly scooped a bowl of vegetables, "Come on, go! You should get the pig well fed you."

Aunt Guo did not refuse, but turned around and pulled the meat in the bowl into half of the pot with a spoon, scooped half a spoon of pig blood again and added it. Then she asked for a big bone that had shaved in the pot, "When I turned around, my vanilla partner is here, smash the big bones and stew it, and stew it again. You can stew the soup in the bowl and give the child a bowl of bone noodle soup."

Aunt Suozi said, "One day the son-in-law comes, tell me, I'll ask Shuanzi to find a way to get some fresh bones. The new son-in-law is a charmer!"

They were chatting and laughing and sent one out of the house and threw Lin Meiqin into the yard.

Lin Yutong didn't know when she left. Anyway, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master walked back when it was dark. The Fourth Master was carrying a bowl of pig-killing vegetables, while the Fourth Master was holding a dish of meat. This meat was not for the Fourth Master, but for Yang Jianguo. The educated youth were also a bit of people in the village. They returned to their hometown, but kept it for him.

After it was dark today, I could smell a little meaty smell in the village. Most of them were reluctant to eat it, so it was possible to cut one or two slices to cook. The two of them didn't say anything, and rushed to their homes one after another.

As a result, I almost bumped into each other. The man was sneaky and stood up and took a look. Isn’t this Xiaomei?

When Xiaomei saw that it was the two of them, she complained, "I'm walking silently? It's so scary." Then she ran away.

I guess I ran out secretly.

Lin Yutong had no time to care about her and asked the Fourth Master, "I'm going to repair the car there if I see the sky?"

It’s either repairing! It’s just a point of guidance. These people are happy to ask him to give advice and do it themselves. There are really problems on the road and can be solved by themselves at any time. "It’s not a big deal to stop on the road all the time. As soon as the construction starts next year, I will ask the forklift to level the roadside. I set up a service station and ask the teenager in the village to support it there. Someone came over and shouted, "It’s usually boiling hot water there, whether it’s adding water to the car or the driver wants to drink water. There is a place."

It’s okay to raise two eleven or 2-year-old boys. I can learn how to repair cars, so my family will be happy.

Lin Daniu had just arrived home when he got home. He was washing his hands and thinking about how to cook. Lin Yutong came back with the food, "Dad, you can sit down and the meal will be done soon."

The steamed bun slices were made golden and crispy with oil. They made a bowl of chopped green onion and egg soup through the oil pan and added a bowl of pig slaughtering vegetables.

Lin Daniu felt distressed, "It's too much!" It's so oily. I asked that boy to let you live a good life. You are so good, and you are a little delicious, so you pour it into my mouth.

Lin Yutong wrote to him: I have left the housework to me, and I have the final say. You have to wear whatever you give you, and you have to eat whatever you ask you to eat. I have the final say at home!

Lin Daniu patted his daughter's head, then took something from her arms and stuffed it to Lin Yutong, "Look!"

What?

A kraft paper bag is tied with hemp rope, what is it!

Lin Yutong opened it and saw it, and was stunned. These were two pieces of cloth, one was the kind of Yeliang, the red background and white florals. The other was the pure black fabric of polyester.

That piece of floral cloth can be made into a top, put on a cotton coat in winter, and wear as a shirt in summer. Black cloth can be made into a pair of pants, just wear it alone or wear it in autumn trousers, cotton trousers.

But where did you get those fabrics?

Lin Daniu laughed and taught Lin Yutong, "You have to do things down-to-earth, but being down-to-earth is not stupid. How much you do, you have to let people know how much you do! You can't be too polite to ask for what you should ask for... Your dad has been busy for a winter, and I'm not missing me. I don't want anything else, it's best to change it to a cloth ticket for me. They all think I'm honest... They also like this honest..."

So, you should take no less of what you should have.

"It's not okay for girls to wear uniforms at home, they must have their own clothes."

Lin Yutong felt uncomfortable, but she was very happy on her face, "Wear it! I will wear it for the New Year this year."

He responded, but thought in his heart that he would exchange some coarse cloth for the food coupons and dye it himself, and also bought two clothes for Lin Daniu and the Fourth Master. Now that the Fourth Master has gotten the food back, he has enough food for three people. If the food in the grain is not enough, he can be directly exchanged into the food coupons at the grain station. People in rural areas marry their wives and daughters, sometimes they want this.
To be continued...
