Chapter 29

Because the weather was too hot, Xia Xiaohong took a break and saw that the time was still early, so she decided to buy some pork first; she hadn't smelled pork in the past few days after her rebirth?Thinking about it, I can't help swallowing. At this time, the pigs raised by the villagers are really pollution-free and natural green food.

Basically, every household feeds pigs with some rice bran, leftovers, and cowhide and sweet potato vines grown in their own fields; most of the time, their own children go to the wild to harvest pigweed and cook them for feeding. Pig, that meat is delicious.

Xia Xiaohong reached out and pushed Yang Ximei who was sitting next to her: "Sister Man, didn't you say that your father killed pigs for others today?"

The place where Xia Xiaohong and Yang Ximei rested was in the shade of a big tree, and the gentle breeze was blowing lazily on people's bodies; it made people feel drowsy, and Yang Ximei was in a daze... When Xia Xiaohong pushed her woke up.

"Hehe..." Yang Ximei opened her mouth and slapped her and rubbed her eyes sleepily, "Hmm...what? Xia Xia, do you want to buy meat?"

Yang Ximei knew the situation in Xia Xiaohong's house very well, and Xia Xiaohong didn't want to hide it from Yang Ximei; she nodded openly and said, "Sister Man, I sold stinky mandarin buds for four yuan and fifty-six cents; Give me two dollars, I want to go to your father to weigh some pork; my mother is not in good health recently and has to work in the field all day, I want my mother to eat better."

Yang Ximei nodded and glanced at Xia Xiaohong: "Well... Listening to Xia Xia, Manniang seems to have lost a lot of weight; and you...you seem to have lost weight too?"

After hearing Xia Xiaohong's words, Yang Ximei couldn't help but look at Xia Xiaohong more, uh...it seems that Xia Xia has lost weight, but... she has lost some weight, but she also looks a lot better; Yang Ximei doesn't know if it's her own illusion, she always I think Xia Xiaohong seems to be much prettier than before.

Xia Xiaohong couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hehe... Sister Man, you won't say it next; you look better if you're thinner, right?"

"Hey... Xia Xia, you can go to tell your fortune; how do you know what I'm thinking?" Yang Ximei looked at Xia Xiaohong with a deliberately surprised face, and said solemnly.

"Stop talking nonsense with you, let's go and buy meat with me." Xia Xiaohong reached out and pulled Yang Ximei up, and patted the mud stuck to her skirt; At that time, it’s not too hot to die.”

"Yes, I will invite you to eat rice tofu after buying the meat; then we will go back!" Yang Ximei hates summer even more than Xia Xiaohong, there is no way... Because Yang Ximei's father is a butcher, their family can basically She eats meat twice in three days; Yang Ximei belongs to the kind of girl with meaty body, so she is naturally more afraid of heat.

"Okay! Let's go faster!" Xia Xiaohong wiped her sweat with a handkerchief: "Oh...it's really hot here."

Xia Xiaohong, who is used to air conditioners with similar temperatures throughout the year, is really not used to the summer without air conditioners; after all, the temperature in the countryside is much cooler than in the city, this is... it is not the hottest time yet, and How can the time pass!Every time she thinks of this, Xia Xiaohong feels a headache.

Yang Ximei knew her father's habits very well, and it didn't take long for her to bring Xia Xiaohong to her father's pork stall: "Dad!" Yang Ximei called out happily.

Yang Laizi frowned: "Why are you here in such hot weather?"

"It's good to be full!" Xia Xiaohong greeted Yang Laizi very politely.

Yang Ximei felt very strange when she saw her father alone in front of the pork stall: "Dad, where are the elder brother and the second brother? Didn't you say that the elder brother and the second brother are here to help you today?"

Yang Ximei remembered very clearly that her elder brother and second elder brother went to slaughter pigs with her father early in the morning; how could there be no one in sight at this time?
"Hmph...don't mention those two brats to me, I'll get angry when I talk about it." Yang Manizi said angrily, but when he saw Xia Xiaohong, his face changed quickly; he asked with a smile on his face : "Xia Xia, why are you here?"

"Father, Xia Xia is here to buy meat; you can help her weigh more and it will be cheaper for her?" Yang Ximei heard Yang Manzi's words, and only then remembered the purpose of her and Xia Xiaohong's coming to find her father; The lame said with a flattering face.

"Sister Man!" Xia Xiaohong called out softly, she did not intend to take Yang Ximei's advantage by pulling Yang Ximei over, now that she heard Yang Ximei say that... she naturally felt a little embarrassed on her face.

Yang Ximei said nonchalantly: "Xia Xia, what's so embarrassing about it; I should be the one who should be embarrassed, but I go to your house every other day to eat; even if you don't charge for the pork today, I should Yes, Dad—don’t tell me I’m right?” In the end, Yang Ximei also dragged her father Yang Manzi into the water and made an ally.

Yang Laizi knew very well what was the relationship between his daughter and Xia Xiaohong?Therefore, Yang Manzi didn't object to Yang Ximei's words, but nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xia Xia! What Sister Man said is very reasonable, logically speaking? Even if Manman gives you a few catties of pork, it should be , but Manman also knows that you, a child, will definitely not accept it; so what? Let’s take a step back, what about the pork? Manman will still charge you the same price, but Manman will give you two pork bones later.”

Xia Xiaohong opened her mouth and before she had time to speak, Yang Mangy jumped ahead and said, "It's just two worthless pig bones, Xia Xia, you will never refuse, right?"

Yang Ximei also said, "Xia Xia, if you refuse to accept even two pig bones... then I won't dare to go to your house for dinner in the future."

Xia Xiaohong looked at the very similar faces of Yang Ximei and Yang Lai's father and daughter, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe...I didn't say I wouldn't accept Man Girl, and ah...I just found out today, You and Manman really look alike." Xia Xiaohong said jokingly with a smile on her face.

Hearing Xia Xiaohong's words, Yang Laizi said with a smile on his face: "Xia Xia, Sister Man is my daughter, so she must look like me; does it need to be said?"

Xia Xiaohong looked at Yang Laizi's bald head, and thought of Yang Ximei's bald head; uh...suddenly, black lines appeared all over her head, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart: "Well...it's a good thing that girl Man is so good looking. It's not very similar to her father, otherwise... a female version of Yang Manzi, how chilling is it to look at!"

Yang Manzi and Yang Ximei's father and daughter didn't know the bad taste in Xia Xiaohong's heart just now, Yang Mangyzi smiled and said softly: "Xia Xia, you want to call the pork in that place; whether you want it fat or lean... .”

Refined - refers to lean meat!

"Manman, how much is that pork belly?" Although Xia Xiaohong vaguely remembered that the current pork was only sold for more than one yuan per catty, but she no longer remembered the exact figure.

"Pork belly costs [-] cents a catty, fat meat costs [-] cents a catty; lean meat is cheaper and only costs [-] cents a catty." Yang Manzi spat out a string of numbers fluently: "Xia Xia, do you want to buy some? What? Fat meat or lean meat? Say... which piece you fancy, Manman will cut it off for you."

Xia Xiaohong thought about it for a while and decided to buy two catties of pork belly. She didn't have a lot of money on her, so she thought of a way to make money later.

"Manman, help me weigh two catties of pork belly!" Xia Xiaohong said, pointing to the pork belly on the chopping board.

"Okay, no problem." Yang Laizi agreed with a quick nod, raised a knife and dropped a piece of pork belly, about two catties, in front of Xia Xiaohong.

Yang Manizi picked up the hook scale: "Xia Xia, two catties and two liang counts as two catties; it's three yuan and sixty cents." Yang Manizi threw the pork belly into the basket Xia Xiaohong was carrying, and took it from under the chopping board. Two tube bones came out 'boom bah bah' with a knife in hand; they were cut into several pieces neatly and put into Xia Xiaohong's basket.

"Xia Xia, these two tubes are full of bones for you; take them back and let your mother cook soup for you." Yang Manizi smiled and nodded to Xia Xiaohong.

Xia Xiaohong gave the pork money to Yang Mangy, and thanked Yang Mangy again and again; then she left with Yang Ximei.
