Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 91 I can still type ten more
The 24th of the twelfth lunar month, house sweeping day.

The vast majority of households will carry out general cleaning on this day. The window paper needs to be changed at home. He Ping’s family does not need to change the window paper, but the glass needs to be cleaned. The father and son wiped the windows of the house over and over again with a rag soaked in soapy water. , Cleaned again with newspaper for the last time.

Standing in front of the window and looking at the results of the whole morning's hard work, He Ping said complacently: "Your father still has the foresight. If this is replaced with window paper, when will it be pasted?"

Xiao Zhuer thought to himself, it would be easier for us if you had fewer windows.

Another task after wiping the glass is to wipe (ma) dust. The furniture in the house is all made of wood, and it takes a lot of beating.

Originally, the window grilles were supposed to be posted today, but I didn’t put up the stickers today, and I will post them together when the [-]th couplet is posted.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, He Ping took back the clothes of father and son from the tailor in the city.

Then I went to Mao Chunhua's place. When the two were dating two days ago, Mao Chunhua said that the clothes he got for their father and son hadn't arrived yet, and they would be delivered in two days.

He Ping came here specially to pick it up today, and it turned out to be two military coats, one large and one small.

"Is it a bit too big?" Mao Chunhua discovered the problem as soon as he took it back, but the military overcoats at this time are still relatively difficult to get, especially the ones worn by children, they are all changed from the military uniforms of adults. The military uniforms at this time , military caps, and military coats are absolute fashion brands. If any child can own one, he will be the envy of children of the same age.

He Ping said: "Having this coat is enough for him to be embarrassed, and besides, the child can still grow, and it is just right to be bigger."

Only then did Mao Chunhua nod in reassurance. She asked her colleagues to get these two clothes with great difficulty.

He Ping made an appointment with Mao Chunhua, and he would come to the door after the second day of the Lunar New Year to meet the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.I came to pick up the clothes today and wanted to give something away, but I was persuaded by Mao Chunhua. Anyway, I have to give it away, so we will be together in the next year.

After bidding farewell to Mao Chunhua, He Ping went to Dingtun.

It's the Chinese New Year, and Principal Wang must have a sign. Many people in the team have come to ask Principal Wang to write Spring Festival couplets and blessings. Principal Wang has always been responsive to requests.

When He Ping arrived at Principal Wang's house, there were already two people waiting for words. Principal Wang was very happy to see He Ping come. Thanks to He Ping's help, the life of Dingtun Primary School this year is much more comfortable than in previous years. He is the principal. He also borrowed the light, and for the first time in his life, he enjoyed the popularity of everyone. Fortunately, he has passed the year of his destiny, and he is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, otherwise it would be easy to float.

After the two greeted each other, President Wang concentrated on writing. The red papers were all brought by the members. "Family and people and everything in harmony", the movement has passed for several years, and the couplets of that special period have long been shelved by everyone, and auspicious words appear on the couplets again.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, kill the New Year's pig.

In this era, pigs are an important agricultural and sideline product. Every household raises pigs, but they are not allowed to slaughter or sell pork privately. The pigs in the team were handed over to the slaughterhouse some time ago, and many of the necessities of life in the coming year were exchanged.

The old captain keeps two live pigs every year. The people who come to the slaughterhouse to collect the pigs naturally know it, but no one will touch this bad luck. New Year's Eve.

Butchering pigs in the team was Han Yuzheng's job for a few years ago. In recent years, his body and bones have deteriorated, mainly because of the shortcomings of being a hunter when he was young, so he entrusted this task to his eldest son Han Zhaoguo.

Today is the day for the team to kill the New Year’s Pig. Firewood and large iron pots were set up early in the brigade’s yard. The children are the most excited. Killing the New Year’s Pig means that there will be pork to eat.Two thick poles carried a fat pig to the cauldron. There was boiling water in the cauldron, which was specially boiled to shed the pig’s hair. The children followed the pig from the pen to the cauldron. , and then was coaxed away by Han Zhaoguo, this cauldron is full of boiling water, if it accidentally gets on it, it will cause serious burns.

Animals like pigs are quite smart, knowing that their time is approaching, howling hoarsely, the sound is tearing and even a little harsh.

The members carried the pig to the bench, because the limbs were bound by the hoof buckle, no matter how hard the pig struggled, it would be useless. Han Zhaoguo's sharp knife stabbed into the pig's neck firmly, and as the howling sound gradually died down, Blood gushes out from the crossing on the neck, and the big basin that was prepared earlier is put to use at this time, and the big basin is full of pig blood. This is a good thing, it cannot be wasted, and it is put on the kang Cover it with a bamboo curtain to settle for a while, and then it will be of great use.

After bleeding, Han Zhaoguo had someone lift the lifeless pig into a pot to scald it, and then began to shed the pig's hair.Then, the pigs are dissected and divided neatly, divided according to the head, hooves, meat, oil, viscera, and hair, and the operation is repeated for the next pig.

Season the precipitated pig's blood, then fill the blood sausage with the washed pig's small intestine, and half of the killing of pigs for this day will be completed.

Distributing pork, offal, blood sausage, and pork bones to the members from door to door, Han Zhaoshe's task is considered complete.

There is still half of the process that Han Zhaoguo does not need, and the women in the team can get started.

When slaughtering pigs, how can there be less pig dishes, such as blood sausage, pork belly, pig trotters, pig bones, pig tails, ribs, pork liver, and pig heart.

A pig that was eaten while alive and waiting to die was handed to the women of the production team. With simple sauerkraut and vermicelli, they cooked a series of mouth-watering delicacies.

The pig-killing banquet was held in the warehouse of the brigade, and there were only two tables in total, mainly for the five-guarantee households in the banquet team. Others could withdraw after sharing the pork, and occasionally there were children who mixed food.

This year, the old team leader dragged He Ping onto the table, and the chicken farm distributed dividends to the members, including these five-guarantee households. Of course, He Ping, the instigator, must accept the blessings of the villagers.

He Ping understands that this is the old captain trying to gain popularity for him. The chicken farm is getting bigger and bigger, and the scale will definitely be larger next year.

During the Chinese New Year, there are the most things and the most wine games.A few days ago when He Ping entertained Liang Yuejin, he drank so darkly that he swore he would never drink again after waking up.

I didn't expect to make an exception today.

Fortunately, most of these five-guarantee households are old, weak, sick and disabled. Except for a few drunkards, He Ping never refuses anyone.

He Ping, who was drunk, said: I can still fight ten opponents like this.

　Thank you for a little spring breeze not as good as you, Double Happiness Terminal, Xiahou Sanshao for their rewards
