"Over there, in the open space at the door of the dormitory, the pots have been set up and a bonfire has been built. Let's have New Year's Eve dinner together in the evening!"
Zhou Rong also nodded beside him, proving that his friend was not lying and it was true.
"How is this possible?" Ma Guifang looked at the fireworks rising in front of the dormitory and felt weird.
That’s meat!
It's not something else.
The four fat pigs raised by the third lady have all been seen by the female workers in the textile factory. They are much fatter than the pigs in other people's homes. They said they were cut off, so they grew so fast.
Earlier, the third lady also said that next year everyone should raise pigs so that every family can eat meat.
At that time, she was thinking that if her family didn't have enough to eat, how could she have any extra food to raise pigs, a precious thing that consumes food?
Seeing that his mother was still stunned, Ma Guifang's son turned away impatiently, followed Zhou Rong and ran away, continuing to inform Xinxia's family.
Listening to these notifications, Ma Guifang, who felt that the world was unreal, came to her senses, went back to the house to put out the fire, and walked to the open space of the dormitory with several women next door who also wanted to see whether it was real or fake.
Even before I reached the open space, I could already feel the busy atmosphere there.
Wang, who was supposed to be training on the mountain, noticed her youngest daughter's movements from afar. She couldn't help but be curious, so she led Lu Meng and others down the mountain to have a look at the situation.
Looking at it, I knew that there would be plenty of meat soaked in soup to eat in the evening. Everyone couldn't sit still, so they moved bowls, pots, racks, and piles of firewood, and got busy.
Everyone has the same goal, which is to eat this luxurious New Year’s Eve dinner as soon as possible.
From this day on, the three hundred people in the village learned another word, called "New Year's Flavor".
What is the flavor of the New Year, you ask?
That's when everyone put aside their worries, got together, and worked hard for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.
Xu Yue directed everyone to cut the pork, and then asked a few experienced ladies to cook in the school cafeteria to take charge of the cooking, and then withdrew.
The crowd gathered and lit a bonfire. They didn't feel cold, but felt warm inside.
Xu Da, who was dealing with the official letters sent from Bohai County in the house, was attracted by the excitement outside. When he saw that the mother and son were outside, he decisively dropped the endless official letters and joined them.
The host set up a separate pot. In addition to Xu Yue's family of five, there were also Wang Dayou's family, plus Lu Meng and other leaders of various affairs.
Everyone sat together, each holding a bowl and staring at the boiling pot.
Only now did everyone believe that the host really wanted to treat everyone to a big meal of meat.
Four big fat pigs were divided into twenty pots. It looked like a full pot, but in fact, not much was distributed to each person. Even with the soup, he could only eat five points to full.
But it is this meat that makes many people burst into tears and burst into tears.
As Xu Yue ate, she heard crying. She looked up nervously, only to see those people crying and stuffing meat into their mouths, as if they wanted to swallow all the misery, leaving only
This rich taste of happiness.
"No wonder everyone says they want to eat meat. It turns out meat tastes like this. It's so delicious!"
Some of the children were eating pork for the first time, and their eyes were full of surprise. Zhou Rong and other older children who had eaten laughed at them.
The child who was teased didn't care, just stared at the meat in the bowl and ate it. His mouth couldn't help but open wider and wider as he ate. That smile was innocent and innocent.
The adults all looked towards the host's house.
Xu Dahao waved his hand and said: "Eat quickly, you will be happy during the New Year!"
It's a pity that there is no good wine, otherwise it would be really complete. Xu Da thought with regret in his heart.
Wang glanced over with a smile on his face, and Xu Da narrowed his eyes and smiled like a cat that had done something wrong and smashed its owner's vase.
Everyone was concentrating on eating the meat, and no one spoke at all. It was not until after the New Year's Eve dinner that everyone seemed to remember that they had not congratulated the host's family yet.
Then they came forward in small groups and said auspicious words.
Some people even specially prepared money for Xu Yue's three children. A small five-baht coin was strung up with a hemp rope and delivered to the three brothers and sisters carefully and with a bit of anticipation.
"Thank you." Xu Yue put away the money and politely thanked her.
Zhuang Mindu, who sent the money, felt flattered and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Miss Third, you are very polite. I will give you the money to help you. I hope that a good person like you will be free from illness and disaster."
As he said that, he looked helplessly at the child following behind him and said with a slight smile: "This child eats meat for the first time today, and he is so happy."
She took the child in front of her and asked him to kowtow to the family members to thank them.
The child was confused, but he followed the instructions obediently.
Xu Yue was shocked, but Xu Erniang moved faster than her, pulled the child up, said with a gentle smile:
"If you really want to thank us, just study hard and learn calligraphy, and use your knowledge to do more things for Zhuangzi."
The child immediately responded: "Yeah, I can read well. I want to get first place and eat chicken drumsticks every month like the monitor!"
Seeing the embarrassed look on the child's mother's face, Xu Erniang laughed out loud without any politeness, which only made the child's face turn red with laughter.
He plucked up the courage and asked angrily: "Why is the second lady laughing?"
Is this funny?
Xu Yue tugged on her sister's sleeve to signal her not to hurt her child's self-confidence like this.
Xu Erniang then stopped her smile and said seriously: "I'm not laughing at you, it's because you have such an ambition. I'm happy for your teacher Xu Yue, that's why I'm laughing."
No matter how others believed it or not, the child believed it anyway and immediately clenched his little fists and looked like he was struggling.
Xu Erniang held it back, trying to give her sister some face. She didn't laugh wildly until everyone was gone.
"These kids are so cute~"
Xu Yue could tell that her sister meant what she said. She seemed to like children very much.
After the excitement, the family of five returned to the house and prepared to watch the New Year together according to Xu Yue's rules.
In this regard, Xu Da expressed that he did not understand the strange ritual sense of the mother and son. They were full and just wanted to sleep.
But... looking at the three women in the same room, but busy on their own, Xu Da understood the meaning of the word "Juan" for the first time.
Wang had a map spread out in front of her. She circled a piece of land with her fingers and said, "I bought a piece of land and will start building a red brick factory in the spring."
"There are also limestone mines that need to be found. Limestone can be used to make cement and pave roads... Since Erniang's water magic drive can be used on looms, it should also be used in brick factories. Bricks are nearby.
The efficiency of the factory is too low. If we need to build a large brick kiln that can produce hundreds of thousands of bricks at a time... we can replace the original rubbish housing on the village in a month..."
Listening to Wang's thoughts and looking at his two daughters, Xu Da finally couldn't help it and asked in confusion:
"What do you three women want to do?"
Wang looked at the map without looking up: "Restore civilization."
Xu Erniang was making measurements on her sister's body while making the baby clothes in her hands, "I want beautiful clothes."
"Ah? Me?" Xu Yue flipped through the book "Postpartum Care of Sows" that she had just exchanged with the technology tree, and replied:
"I want to eat delicious food, and the ultimate goal is to have free Coke, oh yeah!"
Xu Da was speechless and choked. He saw that these three people clearly wanted to turn the world upside down!
Mother and son raised their heads together, glanced at him strangely, and then continued to study and plan.
Wang wants resources to revitalize the economy, Xu Erniang wants to improve spinning machines, and Xu Yue wants to engage in breeding and agricultural development.
Xu Dalang, who was eating fried soybeans, consciously moved to Xu Da's side, handed the plate to him, and extended an invitation: "Let's eat together."
