My village can't be like this

Chapter 88 Grand Appreciation Ceremony

Originally, there were still a few families in the village who could talk to Li Jinbiao's family, but today I saw that this family was really stupid, and everyone rationally stayed away from their family, so as not to hurt their own family in the future.

After seven or eight o'clock, everyone got the meat, even the pig's head and the pig's head were taken away, and there was nothing left.

Because you don’t need pork, you can take more if you want to go into the water, so there are still many people who are willing to take these pigs into the water, but it is more troublesome to clean and pick up.

Everyone in the village lacks everything, but there is no shortage of time, and some time can be taken slowly.

In the end, there were a total of more than ten catties of wild pork left. Originally, there was not so much left, but because the old lady of Li Jinbiao's family made such a fuss, she didn't have the face to share it, and saved a lot of money.

So Zhang Jianwen brought two wild boar bellies and the remaining ten catties of wild pork to Zhang An's family.

"Uncle, didn't I tell you that this meat doesn't need to be shared with our family, just share more with everyone."

When Zhang An saw the old village head bringing a piece of meat, he thought it was specially reserved for his family.

Zhang An is not superstitious about the quality of wild pork. In this day and age, pork from domesticated pigs is the best.

"Everyone has already divided them. These are leftovers. Although you said you don't want them, how can everyone get them. You, the master, don't take any of them. Hurry up and take them, and eat it."

Hearing that everyone got their share, Zhang An just took it. At first, he didn't want it, mainly because he thought the wild pork meat would taste bad if it was not done well, and it smelled bad.

A few years ago, when the village hunted wild boars every year, every family got some.

At that time, the family conditions were poor, and Wang Fang was very frugal, so it was impossible to buy meat in normal times.

Even the wild boar meat they get is sold for money, although sometimes they still keep it for their own food.

At that time, although wild pork was said to be unpalatable, it was much better than nothing, so I don't like to be picky.

It’s just that it’s different now, Zhang An often goes to the town, and every time he goes, he buys some meat back, and the pork at home has never been broken recently.

"Jianguo, Zhang An, these two wild boar bellies are treasures, you take care of them, there are many people fighting for them."

Just now, many people wanted this stuff because they wanted to give up pork, but there were only two of them in total, and no one else would be happy with whoever gave it to them.

So Zhang Jianwen simply didn't give it to anyone, and brought it to Zhang An's family, so that no one had anything to say and no one could be offended.

Wild boars eat everything in the mountains, everything that can be eaten and everything that cannot be eaten.

They not only eat it, but they can also digest everything they eat. This is where the wild boar belly is the strongest, so this pig belly is a good treasure that is invulnerable to all poisons and suitable for both good and bad.

I heard from the old people that wild boar belly can promote digestion, and sometimes it can be used for some stomach problems. There are many local prescriptions that use wild boar belly.

Although Zhang An himself doesn't know how to pick up this thing, but there is his second grandfather, so this thing will always be useful when it is used, and there is no surprise in the end.

Before the old uncle of the village head left, Zhang Jianguo asked the other people about their inspections on the mountain.

In the end, everyone concluded that none of the other groups encountered wild boars, not even traces of wild boars.

Zhang An and his group were so lucky that they met two pigs at a time, and one old toothed pig like a hill.

Therefore, the villagers don't have to worry about the crops in the field for the time being. The two wild boars that were killed yesterday, their descent from the mountain was a rare accident, and it was not that the wild boars went down the mountain in advance.

It was night, and Zhang An didn't feel very tired when he was not lying down, but Zhang An felt sleepy when he lay down, and fell asleep within a few minutes.

Because I am really tired during the day, especially after being exhausted.

On the second day, Zhang An didn't even hear the cock crowing, and slept until noon, only waking up when the sun was shining on his buttocks.

When he woke up, it was already time for lunch, and Wang Fang had finished the meal.

"Mom, why didn't you wake me up?"

Zhang An, who rubbed his eyes, watched his mother bring out the dishes from the kitchen.

"What did I tell you to get up? There's nothing to do at home right now. Let you sleep more. Go wash your face and come over for dinner."

"it is good."

Zhang An responded, took his things and went to the yard to wash up.

At this time, I saw my father coming back from the door.

"Where have you been, Dad?"

"I sent barrels of herbal tea to the masters who built the house. The weather is too hot."

After Zhang An finished washing, the family began to eat.

Today Wang Fang made stewed pork vermicelli, which was one of Zhang An's favorite dishes when he was a child.

The vermicelli is made at home, and the pork is wild boar sent by the old village head yesterday.

Wang Fang's workmanship is good, and the fishy wild pork has been handled by her without any peculiar smell.

Every family in the village grows sweet potatoes and potatoes, so they make a lot of vermicelli every year.

Because this thing is a dry product, it can be stored for a long time, and the method is simple.

Stewed pork vermicelli and other big dishes such as braised pork, I didn't have the chance to eat it often when I was a child, and Wang Fang would have to wait until the Chinese New Year to make it once.

Zhang An's family was eating lunch in the yard when Li Hongbin came to the door.

Seeing Li Hongbin coming, Wang Fang said hello and added a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Li Hongbin was not polite either, he started to eat with a bowl in hand, he was no longer that polite visitor, instead he regarded himself as the host.

"Zhang An, why did I hear people in your village say that you single-handedly turned over a big wild boar, are you so fierce? I haven't noticed it usually."

Many people in the village who are free like to go to watch the masters of the construction team repair houses, especially the group of masons in the village.

After a few days, they became acquainted with Li Hongbin's construction team.

Before the group of master craftsmen finished their work last night, they saw so many people gathered around the drying yard in this village, and it seemed quite lively, so they asked a question.

Then the people in the village told the masters of the construction team that wild boars were beaten in the village, and everyone in the village could share the meat.

Everyone is always envious of the fact that the meat is still divided in Changqing Village. The old masters who build the houses are also from various villages, so there will be no such good things in their village.

So I became even more curious, but there were not many people who saw Zhang An picking wild boars in person yesterday, only a dozen or so people in that group.

However, there will always be deviations from one bite to another. When it reaches the last person, it becomes Zhang An holding the steel fork and piercing two big wild boars with one hand.

The workers and masters didn't believe it at first, but seeing the people in these villages swearing that what they said was true, they still believed it.

When Li Hongbin came, he saw the big guys chatting and working, and after hearing these words, he couldn't help wondering if Zhang An was still human?

He thought he had heard it wrong. Although Zhang An was tall, he was usually tall and thin, and he didn't seem like a person with such great strength.

This is completely the overlord of the world, Xiang Yu is alive.

"Who did you listen to? You have read too many martial arts novels."

In the end, he had to talk to Li Hongbin briefly to dispel this guy's curiosity.

Just now Li Hongbin squeezed Zhang An's arm while talking.

It gave Zhang An goosebumps.

Maybe it was because of looking at his mother who was next to her with a bad face, she managed to coax her back yesterday, but today Li Hongbin brought up this matter again, so Zhang An hurriedly changed the subject.

"Mom, today's pork stewed vermicelli is really delicious. I haven't seen you make it for a long time. I will make it a few more times in the future."

Li Hongbin is also a good person, and he immediately saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly made a conversation and changed the subject.

"Auntie has nothing to say about her craftsmanship. Everything she cooks is delicious. I have to eat two bowls of rice today."

The two of them acted so well that Wang Fang was amused.

It is said that Zhang An's family is having lunch, and on the other side of Huang Erye's house, the old man called his eldest son's family over.

Zhang An saved their family Huang Ming in such a dangerous situation yesterday.

This is a life-saving grace, and you must come to thank you, and the scene must not be small, otherwise someone will say that you are not doing well, and you will not be a human being.

Not so early in the morning, Second Master Huang called his eldest son over to prepare things.

Huang Erye didn't go with him yesterday, but Huang Zhengbiao followed him all the time, so he didn't have any opinion on this matter, it should be done.

"Father, you said we should bring something, or send some money."

Although Huang Zhengbiao is in his forties, he has no experience in this matter, so he can only ask his father.

Huang Erye heard his son ask himself, let's smash the leaf smoke in his mouth, and thought about it.

"I'm talking about your brain. What do you mean by giving money to others? Is Zhang An's family short of money? It seems to others that you are perfunctory when you send money to your door."

Zhang An's family is now the only one in Changqing.

To build a new house like that would cost tens of thousands of dollars, at least.

Such a family will definitely not be short of money. If you send money to your door, it is perfunctory and insincere.

Huang Dabiao was reprimanded by his father, and he was a little uncomfortable. He hadn't been reprimanded by his father for many years.

After he came back last night, he thought about coming to thank Zhang An's family.

So when I was discussing with my mother-in-law about getting money at home at night, the couple quarreled, and the scene was not small.

Huang Zhengbiao's mother-in-law is Li Xingyan, who is related to Li Jinbiao's family and is Li Jinbiao's cousin.

Although Zhang An did save her son yesterday, in her heart, she didn't care that much.

How dangerous is a wild boar that can be killed by a doll in his twenties? There are so many men from the village around, so even if Zhang An doesn't do anything, nothing will happen in the end.

Even the hype that the villagers said was exaggerated, she felt.

Also because of the incompatible grievances between Li Jinbiao's family and Zhang An's family, she herself looks at Zhang An's family with colored glasses.

And last night, her mother-in-law pinned her cousin to the ground and beat her. She had no face at all at her mother's house, and was teased by people all the time. Now she is full of anger.

It's not that Huang Dabiao wants to use the family's money to buy things and come to thank Zhang An, and he took a lot of it, but he set her on fire.

In the end, the couple went crazy at home, and she did not agree to take out the money anyway, saying that Zhang An's family was greedy for her family's money.

Li Xingyan said it was a beast that a doll in his twenties could kill, but you, a man in his 40s, couldn't kill him?You still put your son in danger, are you still a man?

Huang Ming was really frightened yesterday. He usually bluffs, but now he looks like a different person.

Only those who have experienced such a scene know how scary it is, so when his father said that he wanted to thank others, he agreed.

Zhang An was like a god descending to earth, the scene of jumping down to save him was deeply engraved in his heart, and it was hard to forget in this life.

But when he saw his mother making such unreasonable troubles for the sake of his grandmother's relatives, who were still cousins, he became wild with wildfire, whether it was those poor relatives or his own son.

Unable to bear it, he also joined the battlefield, and finally the family quarreled in the middle of the night before quieting down.

Huang Dabiao felt that his mother-in-law was hopelessly hopeless. She had always turned to her family after she married her. Instead, she was perfunctory to Huang Ming's grandparents, and she didn't do any filial piety that she should have. She kept clamoring for a separation. , and finally got her wish.

Now it's even more outrageous.

In the end, the father and son ignored her and let her go crazy.

So the father and son took the money and went out in the morning, without saying a word to her, and letting him do whatever he wanted.

Huang Erye thought for a while before he said to his son: "Zhang An likes to feed some livestock at home, you can see those in his family. Our family has a half-grown calf, but it is definitely not good to send it over. Will do."

"Hey, by the way, Dad, isn't there someone feeding the goats in the next village, and Zhang An's family doesn't have any goats, so why don't I go and bring one back? Anyway, it won't cost too much, and it can show our sincerity."

Huang Dabiao thought of a family in the next-door village that raised several black goats, so he told the old man immediately.

When Huang Erye heard it, it seemed to be okay, and the goat was not expensive, and Zhang An's family didn't have any, so he thought he would like it, and it would also let others see his own intentions.

At present, the father, son, grandson and grandson went to the next village to buy goats.

Not long after Zhang An's family finished eating, there was a sound of lamas outside the door, followed by the sound of crackling firecrackers, which sounded at the door of Zhang An's house.

The scene was so big that it attracted all the neighbors from the nearby villages.

The family went to the yard to see what was going on, and found many people from the village gathered around the door.

Everyone in the village likes to join in the fun, especially in this kind of excitement.

It turned out that Huang Erye's family came to the door, holding a goat in their hands, and Huang Ming and his father were holding two big white geese in their hands.

Only then did Zhang An's family realize that Huang Erye's family had come to thank them.

After Huang Erye came, he thanked Zhang An loudly in front of the old and young in the village.

He also said that his grandson is usually frizzy like a monkey, and his work is not up to standard.

No one actually asked him to go up the mountain yesterday, but he made a fuss to follow.

I didn't expect that I almost broke myself. If it wasn't for Zhang An, it might be dangerous.

So today Huang Erye and his family came to thank Zhang An with their livestock and firecrackers.

This is already a relatively grand gift in the village, and generally no one will use it easily.

"Second Master, what are you doing all the time?"

Zhang Anchang had never seen this battle since he was so old, and he couldn't cope with it for a while.

"Xiao'an, what happened yesterday, your great kindness to our family, the second master's family thank you for saving our little puppet who doesn't understand anything, the second master knows that you like to raise some animals, so I made you a Yangzi and two big geese don't have many things, so don't hold them back."

"Second master, the relationship between our two families is not good for this. If anyone sees it, they will help. You should take the things back quickly, and you don't want to do this."

Zhang An saw that the goat was definitely not raised by Huang Erye's family, because no one in the village raised sheep, so it should have been bought just now. Zhang An often saw the big goat, which was raised by Huang Ergrandmother herself. They are fierce and can bite people. Several dolls in the village have been bitten by them.

Although Zhang An said that anyone who saw them would help, but there were so many people there yesterday, after all, Zhang An was the first to help. If it was later, Huang Ming would be in trouble.

Zhang An deliberately refused, because the gift was too big. If it was a chicken or a duck, he would not be polite, but this is a goat, and it is not a small expense for ordinary people.

But when Huang Erye's family entered the battle, Zhang An couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked his parents for help.

"Second Master, there's no need to be like this. What Xiaoan said is right. Our two families don't like this, or we will see each other. It's not easy for everyone, so don't be polite."

But no matter what, Second Master Huang's family is determined to give things to Zhang An's family.

"Second Master, we all understand your old intentions, but our family really can't keep this sheep. You see, there is no place to put it in my circle."

Zhang An was a little dumbfounded.

Although the pen room at home is a bit bigger, there are big blacks and three pigs in it, and they brought back eight piglets yesterday, which are already full.

Huang Erye didn't care what Zhang An said, and said that if there was no place to raise it, Zhang An would slaughter the mutton and eat it.

No, in the end, the goat and the goose were tied in Zhang An's yard, and Huang Erye took his family back.

At this time, the people in the village watching the excitement at the gate of Zhang An's house dispersed.

I heard later that this sheep was bought by Huang Erye and Uncle Huang from the next village for 100 yuan early in the morning.

Yes, I have to accept it now, and I have to accept it if I don’t accept it.

Now the pigs, cows, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese at home are just short of a calf.

After finding a place to lock up the goat and the goose,
"Mom, give me 100 yuan. Let's take this sheep, but the money has to be sent to the old man. It's not easy for the second master's family."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fang gave Zhang An 100 yuan.

When he came to Huang Erye's house, Huang Erye warmly entertained Zhang An.

He didn't go to Huang Ming's house, although Uncle Da Biao was usually very polite to him, but over the years, Huang Ming's mother had prejudice against his family.

So just come to Huang Erye's house, no matter who gave the money, just return it yourself.

Even if the money was given by Uncle Da Biao, then he would accept it as his own, and it would be considered as his own to Huang Erye.

Zhang An's technique of playing the bag is still learned from Huang Erye.

"Second Master, don't be too busy, I'm here to talk to you all the time."

Seeing that Second Master Huang got up and poured melon seeds and peanuts, Zhang An pulled Second Master Huang and said a few words.

"Second Master, I accepted the big goose, and I took it as the wish of you and Uncle Da Biao, but we really don't like this kind of sheep, so I bought it as I bought it, and you don't rush to refuse it. It’s like I didn’t refuse when you offered me something in disguise, you’re right, it’s enough for me to understand your old intentions, and there’s no need to be too extravagant about this matter.”

After talking for a long time, he persuaded the second master to accept the money.

"Xiao An, although you are young, you have a benevolent heart. Just like your grandfather back then, everyone would lend a hand to help with everything big or small. If you need help with anything in the future, just ask the second master, otherwise you will just leave me alone." The second master is now an outsider."

In the end, the old and the young talked about it and didn't worry about it.

After Zhang An left, Second Master Huang sighed in his heart.

The eldest daughter-in-law also said that Zhang An was greedy for her family's money, it's really shameful to say it.

Although the sheep was delivered to the door by his own family, he didn't want it and sent the money back. This person is different from others sometimes.

People are open-minded and don't care about it, no wonder life is getting better and better.

In the afternoon, the village head uncle came to Zhang An's house.

I came to tell Zhang An's family not to cook at night, but to eat at their house, and invited Wang Fang to go over in advance to help the old aunt cook.

Zhang An and his son were not polite, they both came to ask Wang Fang to help cook, there must be a lot of people invited.

Before leaving, Zhang An even caught a fish and took it away for the old man.

"Uncle, bring a piece of fish home. I haven't eaten fish in sour soup made by my aunt for a long time. Let my aunt make a pot to satisfy my hunger at night."

Zhang Jianwen was not polite when he heard Zhang An's words.

Although the fish in the big river is delicious now, everyone is surprised and doesn't know why, but the fish is much more delicious than before.

But it seems that there is no incense that Zhang An's family keeps in the yard.

In the evening, when it was time to eat, Zhang Jianguo, Zhang An and his son went to the old uncle's house a little earlier, calculating the time.

Because I have already invited you in the afternoon, I am sorry to ask you to invite me again.

There are quite a few people in the yard, all of whom are village elders who are more fair and respected by everyone in the village, and the rest are representatives of various villager groups in the village.

Two tables, one large and one small, were set up in the yard. Not long after Zhang An arrived, a lot of dishes had been prepared in the kitchen.

My mother, old aunt, and several village ladies are busy in the kitchen.

At this moment, the dishes are ready, and they are ready to start serving them on the table, and the dishes will be served soon.

There are many dishes on the table, the bacon smoked by the old uncle at home, the chickens raised at home, the rabbit and pheasant caught by a few old people in the village, wild vegetables from the mountains, and the big grass carp brought by Zhang An.

Everyone pieced together, and they really put together a big table of dishes.

"Zhang An, the grass carp in your house is really big. I cut up a whole fish and boiled it, and cooked two full pots."

"That's good. It's enough for everyone to eat. I'm worried that it's too young for everyone to eat."
