happy apocalypse

Chapter 170

Winter has just entered, and the weather has been cold for a few days. Sun Jun's family, the only family in Tashan Village that still raises pigs, is going to kill pigs.

Early in the morning, I packed up the children, put on a light yellow down jacket, white hat and gloves, followed the village chief, and prepared to go to Sun Jun’s house to watch the excitement.

Although it is snowing now and it is winter, the daytime temperature outside is about minus 10 degrees, which is not too cold, so we saw many villagers walking towards Sun Jun's house along the way.

Everyone greeted each other on the road. This is the first time I have found the feeling of being an official wife. My sister-in-law and daughter-in-law can praise me vigorously. From appearance to clothing, from family to husband, there is no one left behind. For a moment, I deeply felt the difference in the high-ranking family. The appearance that was said before was now praised as delicate and elegant, very like an official wife.
The big family that was disliked by others is now praised as a five-good family. It is also said that my wife, the village head, is capable, and that my own mother and mother-in-law can coexist peacefully under the same roof.They praised Jiang Zhi emphatically, saying that he is capable, talented, hardworking, loyal, and the most important thing is that he cares about me meticulously and loves my children very much.

Although I was very happy to hear that, who doesn’t like to be flattered, but I’m still puzzled, how did they know that Jiang Zhi cared for me in every possible way? When we were outside, we behaved like many old couples, tacit understanding and intimacy Insufficient, and I also give Jiang Zhi a lot of face in front of outsiders, because I act like a small woman, and Jiang Zhi acts like a big man.I couldn't help but muttered in my heart, if there is a traitor in our family, then there is no second choice except Li Cheng.

Under their flickering, I walked to Sun Jun's house with the soles of my feet flickering.

To say that this Sun Jun is worthy of being a wage earner who has been in the city for several years, he still has a certain brain. When he helped our family plant rice seedlings, he knew that he could not go back to the city, so he went there himself. In the county, after returning, I went to other villages to capture several piglets. While farming at home, I went to the fields to mow grass and raise pigs.

During the driest summer, someone urged him to kill several pigs in the family.There is not enough water in the field, so how can there be extra water to feed the pigs? It would be a pity if they died of thirst. He sent ice cubes several times, and only then did the most difficult period pass.

Now it is cold and snowing, and there is no place to mow the grass, and it is impossible to feed the pigs, so he chooses to kill the pigs at this time.

The weather is cold, and if no one buys pork, you can freeze it and keep it at home to eat slowly, so it should be the most suitable time to kill pigs.

When we got there, it hadn't started yet, but one of the pigs had already been tied to the bench.Sun Jun saw us coming, left the person who was talking, and ran towards us.

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, you are here." Sun Jun grinned when he saw us.

"Well, how can we not come on such a big day, but we are here, and we also brought a few snacks from home, you are not scared." I said jokingly.

"How can it be, sister-in-law, look at what you said, I just wanted to invite you to go." Sun Jun rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"Please, your sister-in-law and I are thinking about it, do you need any help?" Jiang Zhi looked at him and said.

"No, no, everything has been arranged. If you can come, you can help me. I'm happy." Sun Jun quickly waved his hands and said that there are enough people to help.

We know that Sun Jun is very grateful to us because we helped him in his most difficult time.In fact, we also heard from Chen Ming's big mouth that we knew that Sun Jun's house was short of water, and the pigs and people were dying of thirst.

Jiang Zhi said at the time, Sun Jun is a good person, he is capable of doing things, and we have to help out, so Jiang Zhi and Li Cheng sent some ice cubes to his house the next day, and sent them every now and then. .

Sun Jun was very grateful to us at that time, and insisted on saying that when the pigs were raised, they would give our family a whole head.Of course Jiang Zhi declined, our family is not short of meat, and we don't want to get anything in return for helping him, but we just think he is good, so we can help him if we can.

Sun Jun didn't let us down either. Afterwards, he looked for various opportunities to repay the favor. When our family was harvesting rice, he also came early to help. After dinner at home, I went to help again in the afternoon.Chen Ming also secretly told us that Sun Jun also supported Jiang Zhi when he was electing the village chief.

We are very pleased to have helped such a knowledgeable and interesting person. It does not mean that we will be happy if someone rewards us, but I think this matter should have come and gone. If it is just us blindly giving, Sun Jun should accept it. Should be divided, I think it will definitely not last long, not from me.

Today, Sun Jun's family slaughtered pigs, and we also came here specially to support the individual market. Of course, if there is any extra meat, we can buy some.

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, sit in your room, the pig will be slaughtered soon, and I won't accompany you." Someone in the yard was already calling Sun Jun, and he hurriedly arranged for us to go to work.

"It's okay, go get busy, your sister-in-law has never seen a pig slaughter, and wants to see the excitement." Jiang Zhi made up an excuse casually, Sun Jun glanced at it with admiration, and then hurried away.

I tilted my head and glared at Jiang Zhi. This villain used me as an excuse again. I haven't seen a pig slaughtered before. I have killed a pig myself, okay?

But the two of us killed pigs in the space, and slaughtered pigs with so many people, the atmosphere is really different, the voice of this person is even louder than that of pigs.

Jiang Zhi and I walked over to look at the other pigs in the pigsty. I was not unenvious. Even if there were more and fatter pigs in my space, and the pigs in the ring could be calculated with mountains, I still Can't help but envy.

Looking at the four adult pigs in the pigsty, Jiang Zhi and I said, "Old Jiang, why don't we feed a few pigs next year?"

Jiang Zhi looked at me with a smile and said, "Are you sure, the smell of pigs is very strong in summer."

I immediately retreated in my heart, but I was a little unwilling, and said uncertainly: "Didn't our dad also build a cesspit in the backyard? I haven't smelled anything in the house this day. If we raise For pigs, you can also build the pigsty farther away from the main house."

"What about the pig's rations? We can't feed the pigs rice and white noodles. At this time, people can't get enough to eat. If we feed these pigs, we will be punished by God." Jiang Zhi said.

"Let's feed whatever Sun Jun's family feeds." I didn't think it was a problem from the beginning to the end.

"Sun Jun's family has fed grass to pigs for half a year, but this is not an easy job. Unlike our cattle and sheep, as long as our children are driven out, they can graze on their own. Sun Jun's family is always mowed by Sun Jun and his parents. I came back to feed it, and it was like this, after more than half a year, it only weighed more than 100 catties." Jiang Zhi told me about the hard work of raising pigs.

"Well, it seems that if you want to raise pigs, you must first solve the problem of feed." I touched my chin, looked at the pigs in the pigsty who were still chaotically arching in the trough, and didn't know that their lives were coming to an end. .

"That's right, you just use your little brain to think about it, let's go there and have a look now." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he dragged me to the pig slaughtering site.

The pig slaughtering scene in Sun Jun's courtyard was full of people, comparable to a market.It has been a long time since Tashan Village has seen such excitement, so everyone is not afraid of the severe cold and came here on snow.

As soon as Jiang Zhi and I returned to the scene, we heard someone shouting in the yard, "Old Sun, whether you can buy this pork or not, how did you buy it?"

Old Sun is Sun Jun's father. Sun Jun's father had prepared the scale a long time ago. At this time, he took the scale and shouted beside him: "Four catties of rice are exchanged for one catty of meat, and two catties of rice are exchanged for one catty of bones."

"Then where is the pig going into the water?"

"It's the same price as meat. It's delicious after it's processed."

After Sun Jun’s father, Lao Sun, someone shouted that it was too expensive, but I don’t think it is expensive. A year ago, pork was sold for 13 to 15 yuan a catty, and rice was 3 to 4 yuan. One catty of money, if calculated in this way, it is just right and not expensive.

I wanted to help Sun Jun's family, so I asked Lao Sun loudly: "Uncle Sun, there are only 5 pigs in your family, how much meat do you kill?"

"Hehe, this year the pigs are fed grass and don't grow fat. Each pig weighs only about 100 catties, so the total weight is less than 700 catties. This is still the gross weight. If it is slaughtered, the net weight will only be about 600 catties." Uncle Sun Even though he said that, there was a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.

"Oh, there are a total of 50 families in our village. Isn't that an average of 12 catties of meat? That's not enough to eat. It will be New Year's Day in a few days, and Chinese New Year will follow. It's been a year of hard work. Why? You have to eat some meat during Chinese New Year." I said loudly, and then I turned around and asked Jiang Zhi.

"Old Jiang, we have a lot of families, let's buy more. Anyway, we can save a lot when we pay the grain in autumn."

"Okay, I'll finish the killing in a while. Let's buy 100 catties. No matter what, the elderly and children must have a good meal and have a good year." Jiang Zhi knew my intention and said very cooperatively.

The other villagers saw that our family needed 100 catties for one mouth, which was equivalent to eating too much and occupying too much. They were afraid that they would not buy anything in the end, so they all crowded in front of Uncle Sun. After a while, Uncle Sun was dumbfounded.

"Wait, wait, everyone stop first, I can't remember what you said now, after a while after killing the pig, you can tell Sun Jun, and I will be responsible for weighing it for you." Uncle Sun faced the crowd's speech. He kept yelling, and shook his head unbearably.

Sun Jun also stood up at this time, and said to everyone: "Don't be too busy, everyone. Let's kill the pigs first, and then we will weigh them one by one. First come, first served. If there is no place to be satisfied, everyone, don't be angry, what?" Meat is not for eating, is it?"

"Yes, as long as it's meat, any meat will do." Chen Ming shouted in the crowd.

After that, the slaughter of pigs officially began.
