When Zhang Fusheng arrived at his father-in-law's house, An Lixia was already preparing to cook.
Zhao Qingxiang and Xu Hongbing drove over and were still behind.
Zhou Yongbing has already arrived at home and is drinking Zhao Tian and cleaning up the pots in the yard, which will be used for butchering pigs later.
There is strength in numbers, but three pigs are also very strenuous.
After the first pig was killed, Sun Yunhui and Zhao Xiaojing were responsible for stuffing blood sausage, Qi Xuemei washed the pig, and An Lixia stewed the meat in the house.
"Mom, your stew is still delicious." Zhao Xiaojing said.
An Lixia also knew that the second daughter could not handle it clearly and was unwilling to pay attention to it.
In fact, she felt that only the second daughter was the most like her, and she valued men the most at that time. Now the second daughter is the same way, she only sees men, but they are better than herself, and she is very good to her children.
The six men outside are already killing the third pig.
Two large pots of blood sausage had been filled. Sun Yun thought of taking some back to the children to try.
This year has made her understand how good her daughters are, and now she is thinking about preparing food for them.
It wasn't until after two o'clock that the family sat down to eat together. The blood sausage was cooked in a pot of water. It was particularly delicious.
They were all hungry, so they ate a lot. An Lixia and Zhao Tian were satisfied when they saw how much the children ate.
"Brother, Xiaoling and the others are so sensible. There is nothing they know that they don't brag about. In the mid-term exam, both girls scored double hundred. Hainan and Zhixue were also among the top ten in the class.
The one who feels the most distressed is Xiaohong. Xiaoli said that girl cleans up the house by herself and boils water for her brothers and sisters."
After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Zhao Qingxiang had a smile on his face. "That's good, Xiaoling and Xiaole are two very sensible people."
"Well, also, during the autumn harvest, the four elders would go to the village every day after school to pick up grain, and they would also help others. In one autumn, they got a bag full of corn kernels, and half a bag of beans and pumpkins.
, radish, cabbage and everything.”
Now everyone feels sorry for the children at home, and at the same time they are very pleased that the children at home have grown up and are sensible.
After Zhou Yongbing finished speaking, Zhang Fusheng continued, "Xiaoling told us that they had been selling tickets for two months, thinking that they would come back during the winter vacation to grind corn during the New Year.
It's almost time for them to have a holiday when we go back. I just want to wait for the children for a day or two and then send them back."
"That's good. I'm still thinking of sending them food and going over to take a look." Zhao Qingxiang said.
The three families were very happy, mainly because they could see their children. To be honest, they also missed their children during the year they were away.
I couldn't bear to go out for a while, so it would be best for the children to come back now.
"Fusheng, Xiaobing, you still have to bring the children food for next year. I won't be able to bring back so much when I send the children off in the future."
"Okay, you go and get ready. We will leave tomorrow." Zhang Fusheng nodded.
"Fusheng, all the food at home has been sold this year. Let's move to your eldest brother's place."
"Okay, I'll bring all the food from home this time."
The two brothers-in-law have no objections. It’s the same for everyone.
The whole afternoon was spent weighing, and Zhao Tian was all looking for workers to do the work. So the corn had already been dried. One cart of wheat was loaded, as was the corn. Zhou Yongbing wanted the remaining two thousand kilograms of soybeans, but he didn't tell his father-in-law.
.
After the car was loaded, several families helped move the house. There was also a lot of firewood that needed to be brought in, and the donkeys also needed fodder. The farmers had nothing to mess with.
They moved there all afternoon. Now Zhao and Tian are at ease. They can go to the field department to make arrangements tomorrow. Little Donkey wants to stay.
Because in a situation like theirs, the little donkeys who don't want land on the way have to pay part of the money. If you calculate carefully, it's better to stay and open up wasteland next year.
The old couple already had two thousand yuan in their hands, not counting the money for the two carts of grain.
So even if you don't work, you can still support yourself in old age. Besides, you can still open land, which will be enough for them to eat by then.
I will stay here tonight, after all, I have two uncles.
Early the next morning, the pork was loaded into the car, and the family delivered six bags of grain, as well as sweet potatoes, melons, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, sorghum, eggs, duck eggs, and dried fish. Anyway, I brought everything I had at home.
Some.
"Fusheng, leave five kilograms of fat and several kilograms of meat for the children."
"Mom, don't worry, I will make arrangements."
The two uncles were sent away, and this time the accountant from the field department went with him. After all, there were still two or three trucks of fertilizer to be transported back. The family could help, but the field department had to pay for it themselves.
.
Xu Hongbing is now planning to transport food and things to the city, hoping to sell them in the city during the winter.
In fact, he missed Huangmei. He hadn't seen her for a long time. He could spend some time with Huangmei by buying grain from the market.
It started to snow heavily before Zhang Fusheng and the others got home. Fortunately, the food had been unloaded halfway, otherwise the road conditions would have been really worrying.
The two of them were not worried, but Zhang Haisheng was worried.
"With such heavy snow, I won't be able to walk in the past few days."
Zhou Yongbing nodded. "Yes. It's too dangerous. It's better to play it safe. If it doesn't work, Accountant Zhang, just pay the money and issue the invoice. When we see the road and it's safe to leave, we'll drive there."
"Okay, this is the only way. No one can risk their lives because of this. Besides, the snow is too heavy. It's impossible to climb uphill and can't stop the car when going downhill."
Because of heavy snow and wind, they arrived home one day later than expected.
Zhang Haisheng went directly to the fertilizer factory. He was already familiar with it. Someone would take him to pay and issue an invoice.
When they got home, the snow stopped. But the snow on the road was quite thick.
The remaining food was brought directly to Zhang Fusheng's house, mainly because the children were away from home for a month and they were worried about having too much food at home.
However, the meat was delivered to the children. It was very hard for them to eat it. They must not have been willing to buy the meat tickets. They must have exchanged them for money.
The children had exams today, and only the little girl was at home. She saw her two uncles coming over with smiles on their faces.
"Uncle, old uncle."
"Xiaohong, this is the meat your grandma brought back for you. If you don't know how to cook it, wait for your aunt to come over."
"Uncle, help me put it in the big tank outside."
The two of them looked at the smiling little girl and found it so interesting.
"Old uncle, can you help me build a chicken coop next year? I can raise chickens."
Zhou Yongbing smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you make it up now that I'm free."
"When the time comes, I will give eggs to my uncle, my uncle, and my family."
Both of them laughed. It was impossible not to like such a child.
