Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 674: Kill the pig and divide the meat!
Silent all night!
Early the next morning, Li Yi was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by the loudspeaker in the village.

He opened his eyes and took a breath, then listened carefully to the content on the loudspeaker.

It turned out that the village party secretary Feng Kai informed the members to get up and gather at the pig farm in the village. The pigs would be killed and the meat would be divided today.

When he heard that the New Year pig was about to be killed, Li Yi immediately became interested.

Every winter, pigs are killed and the meat is divided, which is the busiest day in the village. Basically, all the men, women and children in the village rush over to help and watch the fun.

At that moment, he immediately got dressed and got ready to visit the pig farm!
The rustling sound also woke up Jiang Xue. Xiao Nizi first looked at Yun Rui and Yun Jin beside her and found that the two little guys were sleeping soundly.

Then he looked at Li Yi in confusion and asked, "Why don't you go to bed? Why are you getting up so early?"

Li Yi said with a smile: "The loudspeaker just announced that today the village will kill pigs and share the meat!"

Hearing Li Yi's words, Jiang Xue's sleepy expression quickly woke up and immediately sat up from the bed.

Xiao Nizi ignored the infinite scenery exposed under her loose pajamas and said hurriedly: "I want to take a look too!"

Jiang Xue has stayed in the village for nearly four years, so she certainly knows how exciting it is to kill the New Year pig, and she also misses the scene of killing pigs and dividing the meat when she jumped in line.

"Okay, then you hurry up and wash up, I'll go bring some water back first!"

"it is good!"

When Li Yi got dressed and came out of the main room, Zhang Ziqiang and Yang Zhiwen had also gotten up and were washing in the yard.

After seeing Li Yi come out, the two quickly wiped the water stains on their faces with towels and then walked over.

"Come on, come with me to the well!"

With that said, Li Yi picked up the pole and carried two buckets.

Then he asked Zhang Ziqiang and Yang Zhiwen to pull up the red mules and black horses, and the group went straight to the well as if they were seeking scriptures from the West.

When Li Yi and others arrived at the well, many villagers were already gathered around, and most of them were waiting to fetch water.

Seeing Li Yi coming, everyone greeted him enthusiastically:
Uncle Chen Liu asked while smoking a dry cigarette: "Xiaoyi, you shouldn't have left before the year, right?"

"I'm not leaving. It will be after the new year!" Li Yi replied with a smile.

Zhang Danian immediately responded: "Let me tell you, after finally coming back, I have to celebrate the New Year before leaving. Your father and your mother will be very happy during the New Year this year!"

"Hahaha, I must be happy. Last year, because my wife was not out of confinement, I really couldn't come back to celebrate the New Year!" Li Yi explained.

"Xiaoyi, my Chunhua is at home these days. If your wife has time, come and sit at home!"

"Row"

Just as he was talking, a burst of "bleeping" sounds suddenly came from the distance.

Li Yi turned around and saw that a large group of sheep in the distance was coming towards this direction. There were so many of them, at least one or two thousand!
At this time, Liu Dalei came over with a load and immediately said to Li Yi: "Xiao Yi, hurry up and take the mules and horses away, don't let the sheep be frightened for a while!"

"it is good!"

As Li Yi pulled the big red mule and the big black horse to the water tank to drink water, he asked: "Brother Lei Zi, are those the sheep in the village? They look like a lot!"

"Well, didn't you leave 10 yuan to the village for breeding? We spent 2 yuan to build a sheep farm and a cattle farm, and the remaining 8 yuan were all used to buy grassland. Cattle and sheep!" Liu Dalei replied.

"How many cattle and sheep are there in the village now?" Li Yi asked again.

"There are more than 2000 sheep, and more than 8 cattle!"

"Eight hundred heads?"

Li Yi asked with some surprise. He really didn't expect that there were 800 cows in the village.

Good guy, really good guy!
Liu Dalei smiled and said: "There are more than 800, but the calves we just bought this year account for less than half. The remaining 400 or so large calves are the calves you bought for Houcao the year before last. They have grown up now!"

"With so many cattle and sheep, do we have so much fodder in the village?" Li Yi said.

"Haha, how can we use fodder to guard such big mountains? What's more, after the autumn harvest, the village did not distribute firewood and grass to the commune members. All of them were left to these animals for the winter!" Liu Dalei said.

"Well, as long as it's enough to feed, you're worried about the animals not having anything to eat when doing breeding. This thing is more troublesome than people not having anything to eat!" Li Yi said with emotion on his face.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you, Xiaoyi, to be so familiar with breeding. I've never seen you raise animals before!" Liu Dalei said with a smile.

"You don't have to take care of this kind of thing yourself. You can know what's going on by watching others take care of it!" Li Yi said.

"Yes, it's just like us men can't give birth to babies, but it hurts a lot for women to give birth!" Li Yi: @#￥%...

I have to say, this metaphor is really amazing!

While talking, the big red mule and the big black horse were both full, and Li Yi immediately asked Zhang Ziqiang and Yang Zhiwen to pull them away from the well.

And he himself picked up the bucket filled by the villagers and walked towards home!

When he got home, his father had already gotten up. When he saw that his son had brought the water back and drank the water for the mules and horses, a smile appeared on his informal face.

Seeing Zhang Ziqiang and Yang Zhiwen preparing to tie the mules and horses back to the stable, Li Shankui immediately stepped forward and said, "Leave it to me. I'll take them out for a walk and roll around!"

Yang Zhiwen immediately said: "Uncle, let me go with you!"

"No need, you go in and eat quickly!" Li Shankui said.

Li Yi on the side also said: "Zhiwen, let my father go, and you can help me see off my second sister and the others later!"

"Yes!"

After a simple breakfast, he put the second sister's family on the jeep, and then sent the bus and truck to the entrance of the village. Then Li Yi took Jiang Xue, Zhang Ziqiang, Zhang Feng and others to the pig farm.

The pig farm in the village is located next to the threshing floor in the southeast, not far from the brigade headquarters.

When Li Yi and others rushed over, the place was already surrounded by villagers, both men and women, old and young, and the entire pig farm was completely surrounded.

When everyone saw Li Yi and Jiang Xue coming, they took the initiative to make way.

Li Yi was not polite and immediately led Jiang Xue and others through the crowd and came to the compound of the pig farm.

At this time, pig killing had already begun in the yard. Two famous pig butchers in the village brandished pig-killing knives and continued to deal cruel blows to the struggling black-haired pigs.

On the makeshift stove set up next to it, there were already two large fat pigs with half of their hair removed. Several men were pouring boiling hot water on the pigs while using a "pumice stone" to remove the pig hair.

Li Yi had not seen this scene for many years, and it instantly brought back countless memories of his previous life.
At this moment, Feng Kai and Zhang Tongfu also saw Li Yi and Jiang Xue and walked over immediately.

Seeing them coming empty-handed, Feng Kai immediately said: "Xiao Yi, why did you come here without even picking up a basin? How are you going to divide the meat later?"

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "I was just thinking about watching the fun, and I forgot about dividing the meat. I don't know if there is too much. If not, we can get some back if we each take some!"

Zhang Tongfu smiled and said: "There are more than 80 pigs raised in the village this year. Excluding those sold, each person can get at least 10 kilograms of meat."

"You, the Li family, can even divide the eldest and the youngest among 7 people, and there are still some who weigh [-] or [-] pounds!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Can I still get a share when my third sister gets married?"

"Nana is married, but her household registration has not been transferred out yet, so she should have a share!" Feng Kai said.

"Thank you, Uncle Feng!"

Then Li Yi said again: "By the way, Uncle Feng and Uncle Zhang, I think there aren't many pigs this year. Why don't we just stop selling them?"

"Don't sell it. Do you mean to give it all to the members?" Feng Kai asked in surprise.

"Yes, killing all 80 pigs would only amount to 600 to 20 kilograms of meat. There are more than [-] households in our village, big and small. If we all share it with one person, it would only cost more than [-] kilograms. It's really not much!"

Then Li Yi continued: "Besides, it's just a small amount of meat. After it's sold out, everyone can get ten or eight yuan. This year, everyone has no less money, and this is not enough!"

Li Yi said that not only did he want everyone to eat more meat, but more importantly, he didn't want the folks to eat those miscellaneous meats during the Chinese New Year.

According to the past practice in the village, after the New Year pig is killed, the best parts are taken to the county town and sold, and the remaining parts that are dirty and unsaleable are distributed to the members.

This has been done in the village since Li Yi could remember, and it was all caused by "poverty disease".

There was no way before, but now Li Yi has the ability to lead everyone to live a good life, so he really doesn't want everyone to spend this New Year in aggrievedness just for these ten or eight yuan!

Feng Kai and Zhang Tongfu looked at each other, and their old partners who had been working together for decades understood each other's intentions instantly.

Afterwards, Feng Kai said to Li Yi: "Since you said so, Xiao Yi, we will not buy any meat in our village this year. We will distribute it all to the members. Let's have a good New Year!"

"Hahaha, okay, then Uncle Feng, tell everyone the good news quickly!"

"it is good!"

Afterwards, Feng Kai immediately walked towards the front of the crowd
