After dinner, Ye Mo was pulled over by Lin Xiaomian's cousins to tie the golden flower.
Tomorrow is the winter solstice, today is cloudy and a bit cold.
Lin Xiaomian's aunt put a pot of charcoal fire under the table for them. They still had to shake their legs by the charcoal fire.
Ye Mo doesn't like playing cards and has no luck with cards. As long as he plays cards, he basically loses...
But when a group of people get together in the countryside, there's nothing much to do if they don't play cards.
"You go to Weizhou Island, it's fun." Niu Xiaoli said.
Niu Xiaoli, Lin Xiaomian's cousin, her eldest daughter.
Niu Xiaoli has been married a long time ago, and today she and her husband Zhou Sheng came here later than Ye Mo and the others...
Lin Xiaomian said: "The scenery is pretty good. But the cost on the island is a bit high. The Beihai side is okay, the cost is not particularly high."
"Let's have some fun if we have a chance." Niu Xiaoli looked at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng nodded and said 'hmm'.
"How much does it cost to go there?" Niu Xiaoli asked.
"Two people, more than ten thousand?" Lin Xiaomian looked at Ye Mo.
"It looks like ten thousand." Ye Mo said.
"Thirteen thousand, this kind of consumption is not high..." said Xiaomian's old cousin.
"How many days will you play?" Niu Xiaoli asked.
"I stayed in Beihai for two days and on the island for five days. We still have to go back and forth... The five of us drove there." Lin Xiaomian said: "It is the off-season, and hotels and B&Bs are all on sale. If the peak season is over, they will be more expensive.
.”
In fact, it's not bad. The hotel they stayed in was basically above average. The food was quite expensive...
If you just go there to see the scenery and don't pursue food and accommodation...especially if you are two people together, you can't actually spend that much money.
Ye Mo's luck with cards today is still not good. He basically loses the cards just by looking at the cards.
Lin Xiaomian was very lucky and had won several times. She took out dozens of dollars and won a bunch of them... five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan... and a hundred yuan one.
Big money, I have won hundreds of dollars.
Ye Mo didn't have any cash with him. One afternoon, he just gave him the minimum amount and took a lot from Lin Xiaomian.
We played until after five o'clock, when it was time to eat, and the card game was over.
Today only two people, Yunlong and Lin Xiaomian, won money.
This afternoon, Lin Xiaomian had three surprises, two leopards and a flush.
"How much money did you win?" Yunlong asked.
Lin Xiaomian was counting money with a smile. She took out dozens of dollars, which she took from her mother. Now she has a pile of money in her hands...
There are several of them for one hundred yuan each.
"We won more than eight hundred." Lin Xiaomian said with a smile.
"We won more than two hundred." Yunlong said with a smile.
"Of the people at our table, you and Yunlong are the only ones who have won money." Yunxiu said.
dinner time.
Ye Mo had to drive, so he didn't drink at night.
After dinner, everyone had to say goodbye...
"Ye Mo." Xiaomian's father shouted.
"Why."
"Are you busy over there?" Xiaomian's father asked.
"I'm not busy these days."
"If you're not busy, come and stay with us for a few days." Xiaomian's father said.
"Okay." Ye Mo looked at Madam Xiaomian and said, "We sent Madam Xiaomian and the others here this morning..."
The eldest lady heard this, looked over and said, "You go, Xiaoli and Zhou Sheng are taking us back, they are also on the way."
"Okay, let's go first."
"Um."
"Winter Solstice, will Wang Rong's house kill a pig?" Lin Xiaomian asked.
"Um."
"Ye Mo's friend said before that he wanted to buy pork and make bacon sausage." Lin Xiaomian said.
"How much do you want?" Xiaomian's father said: "Wang Rong's family raises 9 pigs, 6 of them are scheduled to be sent out, and there are still three pigs that are not scheduled to be sent out."
"I'm also going to make some bacon sausage." Ye Mo said, "I'll call and ask, and I'll tell you when I get back."
"Okay, let's get in the car...you guys go slower on the road."
"Ye Mo has a longer driving experience than you, so you should pay more attention to safety." Xiaomian's mother.
Ye Mo got into the car, started the car, backed it out, opened the window and looked at Uncle Xiaomian and the others: "Uncle, let's go first."
"be careful on the road."
"Come and play when you have time..."
"Okay." Ye Mo nodded.
Lin Xiaomian told her uncle and the others, and then Ye Mo put his foot on the accelerator...
After leaving his uncle's house, Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian: "Call Wang Yue and ask them how much pork they want."
"Okay." Lin Xiaomian put on her seat belt, took out her mobile phone, and dialed Tang Xun's number: "Hello, Sister Yue."
"Ah?" Lin Xiaomian turned on the speakerphone, and Wang Yue's voice came from the phone.
"Pigs are going to be slaughtered here in my hometown. Didn't you say before that you wanted to buy farm pigs? How about that?"
"Yes."
"It's not a native pig. It just grew up eating grass and grain... It has been fed since the beginning of the year and has been fed until now, so the price of pork is a few dollars higher per catty than in the market." Lin Xiaomian said.
"Okay, no problem. Our family will buy one and a half, do you have any?"
"Let me make sure first." Lin Xiaomian said.
"good."
"That's it, hang up." Lin Xiaomian hung up the phone and said to Ye Mo, "Wang Yue and the others want one and a half."
"We want the remaining one and a half pigs." Ye Mo said, "You call Wang Rong and ask her to keep the remaining three pigs for us."
"Let me ask." Lin Xiaomian then called Wang Rong: "Old Wang."
"What are you doing?"
Ye Mo almost laughed when he heard Lin Xiaomian's name for Wang Rong...
"Do you still have three pigs left in your family?"
"Um."
"Don't sell those three pigs, I want them here."
"Three pigs, do you want them all?"
"Yes." Lin Xiaomian said.
"My pigs weigh about three hundred pounds each. Are you sure you want them all?"
Lin Xiaomian looked at Ye Mo: "I want them all."
"Okay, let me ask my dad." After a while, Wang Rong's voice came from the phone, saying: "No problem, there happen to be three big fat pigs left. Tomorrow, during the winter solstice, we will kill the pigs, and we will kill them all together.
I'll kill you alone another day."
"Anytime will do," Ye Mo said.
"What about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is fine too."
"Then we will kill them together tomorrow." Wang Rong said: "Do you want to buy three of them?"
"No...one and a half of them were bought by my friend." Ye Mo said.
"Oh." Wang Rong said with a smile: "Come here early tomorrow and help push the pig."
"OK……"
After Lin Xiaomian hung up the phone, she immediately called Wang Yue and talked about the pig killing tomorrow.
"The pigs will be killed tomorrow." Lin Xiaomian said, "You need to drive a pickup truck over, otherwise it won't be able to load it. Ye Mo also wants one and a half, that's three."
"Yes." Wang Yue said with a smile: "We will come over early tomorrow morning."
"good."
Seeing Lin Xiaomian hang up the phone, Ye Mo asked: "Has your family bought a pig?"
"The second uncle's family raises three pigs. Their family kills pigs after New Year's Day, which happens to be the second uncle's birthday, so the pig killing feast and the birthday are held together."
"You still hold a pig-killing feast here?"
"Some know how to do it, and some don't. For example, Wang Rong's family doesn't know how to hold a pig-killing banquet. They raise a lot of pigs, and they are too busy killing pigs..."
