Chapter 18

It was getting colder, and Chu Ying didn't want to leave the warm bed in the morning, but thinking that she hadn't collected enough tax money, she could only slap herself, got up, drank some porridge, and waited for Han Da at the door.

"Xiaowa got up very early, let's go. I have to go to the 3rd house today, so I need to move quickly." Before Chu Ying could sit still, Han Da was already rushing to the customer's house.

Chu Ying was very happy to hear that there were 3 companies, but after doing one set of planing pigs, cleaning, dividing the meat, and arranging the heads and hooves, her hands were already so cold that she lost consciousness, so she could only stuff them into her clothes to warm up for a while. .

"Are your hands cold? There is another one, soon."

The first steps of slaughtering pigs are very happy, because the pigs have not cooled down completely, and the meat inside is still a little warm, and it will not be so easy after cutting to the back.

"Look at your delicate skin and tender flesh. Look at me. The calluses on my hands are so thick. Go back and warm your hands. Your hands are the lifeline of a pig butcher." Han Da put Chu Ying at the intersection and went home After going, Chu Ying slowly walked home holding the 90 Wen hard-earned money strung together.

"Are you Chu Ying?" Before Chu Ying got home, she saw a handsome girl with an exquisite figure standing on the side of the road waiting for her.

"Yes, what's the matter with this sister?" Bai Yuhe put her hands on her hips and stared straight at Chu Ying with a pair of almond eyes. She is just a little girl with a wet pussy and a pig smell on her body. I don't know why Big Brother Wang treats her like this good.

"Stay far away from Wang Nai Garden in the future, and be careful." Before Chu Ying could figure it out, the girl left angrily, and Chu Ying continued walking home with a dry laugh.

Chu Ying took off the outer autumn clothes, hung them outside the house, patted the dust off her body, walked into the house barefoot, looked back at the hemp shoes with two holes in them, and thought it was funny.

I am an 8-year-old child, how can I have time to care about the love of my children, even if I live in this body is a soul that is almost 30 years old, but I only think about how to keep myself warm, fed, bathed, and If you eat meat, it seems that you will have to stay away from Wang Nai Garden in the future.

"Chu Ying, my mother asked me to ask you if you still want to make fish bream. Now winter is the time to make fish bream."

"Don't bother Aunt Wang, I've learned it. Thank you, Brother Wang." Wang Naiyuan didn't know what happened to Chu Ying today, and she didn't come out, and her tone was very cold, maybe she was tired from killing pigs.

Although Wang Naiyuan didn't really want Chu Ying to go, but Chu Ying has a stubborn temper. How can others stop what she wants to do? Wang Naiyuan saw that the hemp shoes at the door of Chu Ying had two holes. Chu Ying was just tall. At that time, the shoes were probably too small, so Wang Naiyuan squatted down and measured the size with his hands.

"That's okay, I'll go first." Chu Ying waited for Wang Naiyuan to go far away before opening the door, and after carefully confirming that there was no one there, she put on her shoes, put on her back basket, and hurried to the lake. I was so busy farming, picking chestnuts, and killing pigs that I forgot that there was my own trap in the lake.

Chu Ying looked at the trap by the lake and there seemed to be no movement, so she was relieved that the fish were not harmed, but when the trap was pulled up, there were 3 big fish inside, which were not moving much, but Chu Ying would still jump when poked .

It is estimated that it was cold, and they could only hide at the bottom of the trap when they were caught, which made it hard for these fish. Chu Ying also caught a lot of other traps. Chu Ying knocked out 8 big fish, and put a rope through their gills. String the fish together and put them in the basket.

The pulled traps are also pulled to the edge of the grass, and no longer put them in the lake. First, the fish don’t come out much when it’s cold, and they stay at the bottom of the lake. Second, I don’t want to go out when it’s cold, so I can’t keep these traps to trap the fish. Don't come to take them away, stay here and suffer.

When they got to the lakeside, Chu Ying picked some cattail roots by the way until the basket was full.

These days Chu Ying eats rice every day, her physical strength has increased a lot, she can carry more things, but she is not greedy enough, Chu Ying, who can’t carry a basket, can only tie the cattail roots together with a rope, and wait for the basket to be carried. Then I took the remaining cattail root in my hand.

When Chu Ying passed other people's houses, she saw three or five women standing together pointing at her. Chu Ying looked at the clothes that were not very dirty and the hair that was smoothed with her fingers as much as possible. Just be different.

With her mouth on someone else's face, Chu Ying could only speed up her pace and hurry home.After returning home, Chu Ying quickly cleaned the fish, used 2 fish to make fish bream, and 6 fish to make dried fish. The only clay pot was occupied, and she had to buy a few more next time she went to the city.

Chu Ying cut off the fish tail for making fish bream, and then made fish soup. Rice is needed to make fish bream. Chu Ying first marinated the fish to make dried fish.After all the work was done, it was already dark. Chu Ying picked out the chestnuts in the fire with a wooden stick, blew them away and ate them, and drank some fish soup to warm her stomach.

Chu Ying added water to the soil dug from the outside on the ground, kneaded it into a lump, added some water to make the lump thicker, and moved the stones that had been dried by the fire yesterday to the window by the window. Next to the wall, first pile up a square circle of mud on the ground, then put stones on top, and then put mud on the stones, because the mud is still a little wet, Chu Ying only built two layers first, and wiped the outside of the stones. Put on the mud, try to make it as smooth as possible, and wait until it is almost dry the next day before laying a few more layers on it.

The next day, Han Da said that there were three, but after Chu Ying and the others went, the customers sent them away in embarrassment. "Chu Ying, it's okay, how many houses do we have?"
The same is true for the latter family, but fortunately the last family did not send them away, Chu Ying rolled up her sleeves, aimed at the target, and caught the fat and fat pig by surprise, grabbed the pig's ear, grabbed the pig's tail, and howled At the moment of the cry, white knives went in and red knives came out at the protruding part of the pig's throat, and immediately blood flowed like a column into the big basin sprinkled with green onion, ginger and garlic prepared by the customer's house in advance.

After the blood was gone, the lady customer also washed the intestines, filled them with pig's blood and tied them up.Since there is no next home today, Han Dao will sit here for a while.

"Yongsheng, kill yourself when you're ready. Your little baby's life is not good. You also know that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so you want to celebrate it. Her life is so hard. Many families who originally planned to find you have gone to others. "
Chu Ying ate the freshly baked blood sausage, although she heard their soft conversation, she continued to eat. "Ma'am, your craftsmanship is really good." Chu Ying took another piece.

"Well, I have my own measure." Chu Ying couldn't say anything, Han Da's hand was injured now, how could she abandon him, but if Han Da asked her to go, she would definitely not hold back.

The next day was still bleak, but on the way back, Han Da did not take a shortcut, but detoured to the crowded sun valley.Everyone will come here to chat when they are tired from doing farm work or have nothing to do at home.

Han Da deliberately slowed down the speed of the ox cart and drove slowly through the sun valley.

"It's that kid, he's against his father and his mother, it's so unlucky to kill pigs now. You can't invite Han Da to come to your house to kill pigs."
"Yeah, yeah, Chinese New Year is coming soon, who wants to get into this trouble."
"Don't talk nonsense, that little boy is very diligent in killing pigs and does his work meticulously. Then his father was killed by bandits, and her mother begged the Bodhisattva to throw her down. Don't gossip like this."
Chu Ying looked at the fat baby she had seen at Li's pig butcher before, probably in her 10s, with her hands on her hips as if she was confronting them.

"That's right, it's this kid, what's the matter? What else do you want to say?" Chu Ying was frightened by Han Da's flat roar.

"It's nothing, Han Da, it's nothing." The older women who were chatting with great interest just now turned their backs and covered their faces with their hands.

"She is hard-fated, and her life is not hard to die. What kind of mother should cry for her?" Han Da shook off Chu Ying's holding his little hand, got out of the car and walked towards them.

"You are also mothers and fathers. If you leave one day, what will it feel like to see your children being said that?" Han Da is wide and fat, and he is also a butcher. He walks with dignity, everyone. The children are silent.

"What was your child doing when he was 8 years old? Crying for his father and mother, she is a little girl, she has no other skills, she can use a knife, and you will poke the spine in the back when you kill a pig. Look, look at the frostbite on this kid's hands." Before Chu Ying could react, she was dragged out of the car by Han Da.

"Your baby is still dreaming in the bed. She has already woken up to kill pigs in this winter. She can't eat enough and doesn't wear warm clothes. How easy it is to die. Just wipe it with a knife. People earn so much by themselves. A little bit of money, are you trying to force her to death?"
