Chapter 165.

After a while, the seven children went together to watch the slaughter of pigs at the valley farm. Although the weather is cold and the road is icy, there are still many people going to join in the fun. It’s winter, and everyone is bored at home .

Lin Qingxi didn't go out to join in the fun. She kept warm on the kang in the main room, and looked at Aunt Sun and Zhou Mingmin who were concentrating on making clothes. These two were only in charge of making clothes recently.

"Mother, how many small clothes have you and my sister made? Don't make too many, you can make some clothes for three to six months, children grow up fast," Lin Qingxi picked up the children's homework these days From the looks of it, she drew all the typos and math mistakes, and let the children correct them by themselves.

"Understood, we know it well, you don't need to worry about these things, you are responsible for making yourself eat and sleep well," Aunt Sun said with a smile.

"Okay," Lin Qingxi didn't say much, and concentrated on correcting her homework.

Aunt Sun and Zhou Mingmin finished the clothes in their hands, put away the things, and each of them took a basin to the grain farm to share the pork. The aunt and the elders are also good at work. They get ten work points and eight work points every day. Zhou Mingmin also gets six work points a day, so their family can get a lot of meat.

The team raised ten pigs, three males and seven females. The seven sows gave birth to about twenty piglets in one year. This time, only ten big pigs were killed, and the twenty piglets will continue to be raised next year. Kill again.

On the other side of the valley field, almost all the people who could walk around in Zhoujiatun had joined in the fun, and every household's women and mothers carried their own pork in pots and barrels.

"From the Guilin family, you two are here. How is Dr. Lin? Does she want to bring back some more meat this year?" As soon as Aunt Sun and her daughter arrived at the valley field, many people gathered around to say hello to them. What he said was related to Lin Qingxi.

"Yes, our girl Xi told me two days ago that she wants to change some meat to make bacon. When the time comes, I will send some to my family and my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law work in the imperial capital. Both of them are very busy. It’s inconvenient to buy food, but our three sisters and younger sisters went to the Imperial Capital with Miss Xi, and the elder brother and sister-in-law took them to play all the fun in the Imperial Capital, and bought things for them to take home. The condition is there, it can only be that the pigs are slaughtered during the Chinese New Year and the meat is divided, so I buy more meat to make bacon and send it over.”

Aunt Sun said with a smile, she was really grateful to Lin Qingxi's eldest brother and sister-in-law, Xie Lu and the three brothers and sisters brought home something, she was reluctant to buy it after seeing it, it cost dozens of dollars to buy it Xu Ling bought the really good skirt and small leather shoes without blinking an eye, so naturally they can't be stingy.

"That's right, the skirts and small leather shoes worn by your girl Lu are not cheap. That is to say, Dr. Lin's brother and sister-in-law are both working families, so they are willing to buy them. You see, we work in the fields all year round. He only earns a dozen or 20 yuan, who would be willing to spend years of hard-earned money to buy clothes and shoes that cannot be worn to work in the field." After finishing speaking, the man also laughed, looking a little envious that Mrs. Sun could marry To such a good daughter-in-law.

"That's right! Thinking about it, I'm willing to spend the money to buy meat," Aunt Sun said with the expression that I thought so too, and she is also one of the frugal people.

"Hurry up and line up! The meat is divided," the two were chatting vigorously, another aunt saw that the line was starting to divide the meat, she quickly reminded everyone, and then, they were still chatting and strode over Started to line up.

"Everyone is lined up! Our brigade has a good harvest this year, and the food is distributed before the snow falls. Today, the pigs are slaughtered and the meat is divided, and the fish will be released in the pond in two days. We have worked hard for a year just to live a happy life." Good year, in order to be able to eat more next year, each family will come to draw lots for the meat today, and get the meat according to the number you catch, and no one is allowed to gossip," Zhou Guitang stood on the table and looked at the people below , Shouting loudly at the people below.

Hearing what he said, they lined up one by one to prepare to draw lots. Everyone was very obedient. No one dared to make trouble at this critical moment. If they made trouble during the division of meat, they would definitely be beaten up by the whole village, men, women and children.

“周桂江5号、周桂河10号、周桂虎6号、林卿汐1号、周桂林15号、周桂平3号、周桂山9号……”随着一个个人抓阄,有的欢喜有的愁,号码靠前的很开心自己可以优先选一块好点的肉,拿到号码靠后的则是有点担心前面的人把好的肉都给挑走了。

"Now, please come up to choose the meat from Dr. Lin's family," Zhou Guitang said, and Aunt Sun went up with the number plate. She chose a piece of pork belly according to Lin Qingxi's instructions. This kind of meat is used to make bacon It couldn't be better.

Lin Qingxi finished choosing the number one, and now it's number two. The family who got the number two immediately had a middle-aged aunt go up and pick out two pig's trotters and a small piece of fat, and then it's number three.

Each household sent a person to pick out a piece of meat they liked. After everyone had finished picking, there were leftovers such as pig offal, pig's head, and pig's trotters on the cutting board. The meat was taken home, and at least a small number of people with decent family conditions stayed where they were, planning to exchange money and work points for more meat to go home and eat.

"Sister and sister, what does Doctor Lin plan to return this year? With money or work points?" Zhou Guitang looked at Aunt Sun who stayed where she was, and asked quickly.

"Brother, let's exchange money. We want these sets of pigs, and we want the remaining eight pig heads. We will take two or four pig feet home to make soup for Xi girl to make up for. How much is it?" Sun Auntie glanced at the chopping board, thinking of Lin Qingxi's stewed pig meat and pork head meat, she couldn't help swallowing.

"Okay, Mingcheng, figure out how much you want to pay your aunt," Zhou Mingcheng is Zhou Jiyuan's father, and he has always been very grateful to Lin Qingxi for his dedication to teaching his little daughter. Although he didn't take his daughter with him when he went to the emperor, he He knew that it was because his daughter's grandmother had gone, and his daughter didn't have time to go, so he wouldn't have any bad thoughts about Lin Qingxi because of this.

"Understood," Zhou Mingcheng replied without raising his head, and after two or three minutes, he looked up at Aunt Sun and said, "Auntie, pigs' offal and pig's head are not very valuable, and the ones you chose are similar. Two hundred catties, some are fifty cents a catty, some are forty cents a catty, pig’s trotters are sixty cents a catty, and I’ll give you a catty of feathers for all of them, and you’ll need 3 yuan.”

In fact, Zhou Mingcheng did a trick, don't look at him making a compromise of fifty cents a catty, but the weight of each kind is different, and he even wiped off the change. With the permission of the cadres, everyone is very grateful that Lin Qingxi did not go with the army, and continued to stay in the brigade to work in the health department.
