Chen Miao nodded. "I understand what you mean. I'm leaving now."

Chen Miao called Wang Gang as soon as he got home.

"How do you have time to call me?"

"How are you now?"

"It's still the same here, but the supply of weapons is not as much, but the daily necessities are not less."

"At least I'm not so nervous anymore."

"Isn't it? There are fewer wounded soldiers, and even fewer brothers who sacrificed their lives and were sent back. How could I be in a bad mood?"

"I'm calling you to ask if my fourth son is busy."

"It's OK. Now he works with me all day. Your fourth son is really down-to-earth. There are no girls of the right age in my family, otherwise I would definitely want this son-in-law."

Chen Miao loves to hear this. She is happy when her brother is praised.

"It's okay. I want him to come over for the New Year. This is the year our family is quite complete. We want to have a reunion year."

"Okay, I'll ask him to call you."

Wang Gang could understand that only when one is alone outside can one more deeply appreciate the meaning of missing family members during the holidays.

Chen Jiang ran over to call his third sister and patted the grain on his body outside the door. This electric grinder is easy to use and processes grain quickly, but it produces too much dust.

"Your third sister is waiting for your call at home."

"Yes, Chief."

The two siblings talked on the phone, "You should come back here to celebrate the New Year. It's a rare opportunity for us to be together like this."

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to our leader to ask for leave."

"Zeng Ziwen will not disagree. You should come back before the New Year."

"Okay. I'll apply right away." Chen Jiang also understood what his third sister meant. Indeed, this was the first time that their brothers and sisters outside were in the same place this year, so of course they wanted to get together.

In fact, Li Wenquan told me that this period of time is relatively free, so I can go back to reunite with my family. I feel that it is still too busy here. Although it is not very convenient for me, I can still do a lot of work. I have thought about going back to celebrate the New Year, but I just want to go back before the New Year.

Chen Miao was happy that his fourth brother had returned. He looked at the time and decided to go to the market for a walk.

Some pork needs to be sent to the garrison during the New Year, and a butcher is needed to prepare it.

You don't have to worry about the meat from the Red Star Farm. An Guoqiang said that they left ten pigs with the intention of giving them to everyone to improve their lives during the Chinese New Year.

There are still dozens of pigs on our farm, which we are going to send to Wang Gang. Then we have to spend money to buy them.

Anyway, it's a rare year with such a leisurely time, so we should at least let everyone have some meat to eat.

I didn't expect to see a butcher in the market. I guess I have to come tomorrow morning. In the twelfth lunar month, pork sells faster.

After a round of shopping, I bought a lot of mountain products, but I didn't buy wild animals, just mushrooms, fungus and the like. I also bought pine nuts and hazelnuts for the children to eat. I also bought a lot of sunflower seeds and went home to make spiced melon seeds for them.

I saw they bought some malt sugar. They often eat finished sugar, and this homemade malt sugar should be delicious and change the taste.

I didn’t see the Taoist priest. What is the old man doing?

When I got home, Mrs. Zhang was steaming bean buns.

"Chen Miao, try the bean filling and see if it's sweet enough."

She loved eating red bean paste. She washed her hands and ate a big ball.

"It's delicious. Sister Zhang, you are such a great cook. I'll give you a holiday during the Chinese New Year. Please make more boiled bean paste for me before you go home."

"Okay. I'll prepare it for you tomorrow. You, I think you enjoy this more than eating rice."

"This is good stuff. It's so delicious."

"What did you go to do?"

"Go to the butcher at the market."

"I haven't seen him for several days."

"How many days?"

"Isn't it? The old neighbors used to buy his meat and have been talking about it these days?" Chen Miao frowned, "Sister Zhang, I'll go take a look."

"To see the butcher?"

"Yes, I was hoping he would get me a few dozen pigs. My brothers also want to celebrate the New Year. I didn't expect that he hasn't come for several days. The twelfth lunar month is a good time to make money. If there is nothing going on, he would definitely come."

"Why don't you go to the slaughterhouse?"

"The butcher should not be able to go to the slaughterhouse anymore. I am a person who prefers to cook well."

They drove to the butcher's house. It was not far from the county town and the road was not difficult to walk on. They soon arrived at the butcher's door.

A car entered the village and the children playing outside ran after it.

The people in the room also heard the noise. Chen Miao saw the butcher's wife come out.

"sister in law."

"Comrade Chen? Come in quickly, it's too cold outside."

Chen Miao came in carrying some snacks, brown sugar and two cans of food.

"What gift do you bring to my house, girl?"

"I came to see my aunt."

"Chen Miao is here? Come in quickly." The old lady also came out and happily called her into the house.

Judging from their states, nothing should be wrong at the butcher's house.

After entering the house, Chen Miao sat on the edge of the kang without hesitation.

"It's warm on the kang."

"Aunt, I won't go up. I've been very busy and haven't had a chance to come and see you."

"Hehe, I'm fine."

"Aunt, I went to the market this afternoon and didn't see your eldest brother. Why hasn't he been selling meat for several days?"

The butcher was not at home either, and the carriage was not there.

"Chen Miao, your elder brother works at the slaughterhouse, so he doesn't kill pigs himself anymore."

Chen Miao nodded. So that's how it is.

"It's OK. Although I may not earn as much as I would by slaughtering pigs and selling meat, it's stable and not as hard and tiring."

"Isn't it? Your eldest brother is not young anymore, he should have some free time, and this is a formal job."

Chen Miao nodded, it would be nice to have a formal job.

As long as it's alright, this family is kind-hearted, especially the old lady, who really introduced many of the brothers to potential partners, and almost all of them succeeded, which made me grateful to her from the bottom of my heart. It allowed some of the brothers to live a normal life.

"That's good, auntie. My elder brother is fine and has a job. I'm relieved that you are in good health too. It's getting late and I should go back. Please tell my elder brother to come to my house if he has anything to do. I have been at home all the time."

"Stay for dinner."

"No, there are other things."

The old lady really couldn't bear to part with Chen Miao, and finally brought her half a bag of red beans.

When she got home, the Taoist priest had already returned and was cooking sour pears with Mrs. Zhang in the kitchen. He kept asking her to add more sugar, and he wanted white sugar.

"Is the butcher okay?"

"It's a good thing. He is now working in a slaughterhouse and is a formal employee."

Slaughterhouses are good places, it's convenient to eat meat.

"Chen Miao, if you want to buy a pig, you have to go to the slaughterhouse?"

"Well, let's go ask tomorrow and order thirty pigs. They don't have to kill them, otherwise the pig blood and everything else will be wasted."

"I've never seen you so good at dealing with things." The old Taoist teased her with a smile, and Mrs. Zhang also laughed.
