1061. On the day of Laba [Dont worry if you havent killed yet]
There was the sound of hay leaves being trampled on the hillside. The king raised his head and found that Qiao Qiao was coming, so he hurried over:
"Woo..."
The good man is also very good at acting coquettishly, especially in the past few days, I have heard the excitement at Yamashita’s house. At this time, there is always delicious snacks...
What are you having for breakfast this morning?
It looked into the bucket in Qiaoqiao's hand, only to see a plastic bag inside, and the faint smell of alcohol could be smelled at the tip of its nose...
"Ugh..." The king took a step back aggrievedly.
A good dog cannot be an alcoholic.
But it quickly raised its head again and licked Qiaoqiao's fingers with its hot tongue, feeling that he was not very happy.
Qiao Qiao was indeed unhappy.
He feeds the pigs in the back mountain most of the time, but he enjoys it. He has to brush their hair with a shoe brush every day!
Every time I brushed it, Piggy would lie down with a groan, not to mention how comfortable it was. She also trusted Qiaoqiao completely, how could Qiaoqiao let her go!
But my sister said that pigs are raised now just for meat, otherwise they wouldn’t raise them anymore.
The little man took a deep breath and stood at the door of the pigsty, listening to them begging for food, and finally opened the bag.
…
Early in the morning at Lao Song's house, there were already a lot of people crowded in the yard.
There were Master Jiang and his wife from the mountain, the old man's Tiantuan, and even Yan Ran, Tang Xiaodong and Qi Lin who came all night long after a long journey.
The three of them had been working as laborers for several months, and their faces were full of vicissitudes of life. They were squatting on the porch early in the morning without any image, drinking porridge, and their work experiences were stained with blood and tears.
"This is a bad class. I won't be able to go on for a whole day anyway."
Qi Lin's head was spinning while he was brushing the test tube. Obviously, this work route was something he had never thought of before learning this major. At this moment, Numbtongue was drinking porridge. Only this sweetness could save his boring soul.
Yan Ran could even talk about catching a hen for several hours at the base in the countryside, but it was better here!
There are many people and it is lively.
Not to mention Tang Xiaodong - before going to work, he thought he could live a leisurely life holding an iron rice bowl. After going to work, he found that this iron rice bowl was not so easy to win.
Professor Song felt sorry for the students, so he and Teacher Tang put scallion pancakes into their bowls: "Eat quickly, eat more. We are recruiting workers here next year. If you really don't like it, just stay."
Nowadays, the outside industry is involved in internal affairs, and it is difficult to find any job. If you really don’t consider medical care and children’s education, you can just stay here for the transition.
The pig butchers had already arrived early, and they were sharpening their knives while ordering the villagers who came to help:
"Hurry up and boil the water! Boil more water! The row of cooking stoves on the roadside are not in use now, so we will burn them all."
"Who are the people who are here to help? They will come to help hold down the pig later..."
"There's no need for this." Song Tan leaned over and stared at the bloodstained rain boots and aprons worn by the pig butchers that soaked through and couldn't be wiped clean:
"I asked Qiaoqiao to bring some fermented glutinous rice up the mountain. It is used for brewing wine. It is very strong. I can knock them down later."
The pig butchers didn't quite understand this idea, but it was the boss who gave the money, so they gave the face-saving one a big finger:
"Okay! You little girls are still soft-hearted... but it's better this way. The pigs won't be afraid and the meat will taste better."
However, you still have to find someone.
"The big white pig you fattened up must weigh 400 kilograms. It would take someone to carry it down from the mountain!"
Then there's no need to worry.
My family is hosting a banquet in the village. There were ten or twenty people, men, women, old and young, who came back from work yesterday. There was no shortage of people at all!
Just as he was thinking about finding someone with a lot of energy to help him, he saw Party Secretary Xiao Zhu’s grandfather coming over happily:
"Xiao Song, you don't have to worry about lifting the pig. Look at our family, we are so strong! We are so energetic!"
As he spoke, he patted Xiao Du's chest next to him.
The "bang bang" sound is indeed powerful.
And the other party's slightly dark face also showed a trustworthy smile.
Song Tan nodded: "Okay! I'm very energetic, I'll help you when the time comes, and we'll lift the pig down together."
Lao Yang came over and asked curiously: "We have to get the pig drunk anyway, why don't we let it come down and eat it? It saves us so much trouble. We won't be afraid of people when we go down the mountain, right?"
Song Tan shook his head: "They are very good at it. Besides, there are many people here, so it is inconvenient."
After all, in her eyes, a 400-pound pig is really not worth mentioning. We have no shortage of strong people today.
Just as he was talking, several aunties from the village came over and shouted enthusiastically from a distance: "Ulan, I'm here to eat from your big family today!"
Wulan was adjusting her apron and responded quickly: "Come on, come on, I'm afraid you won't come. There are fifteen or sixteen tables today, and I can't handle that much food by myself."
She turned around and asked them curiously: "Li Baoni, you don't even take two days off from your part-time job? Didn't you hear that you just came back yesterday?"
Li Baoni, who spoke, sighed: "Don't mention it! My age is now over the limit, and the two factories I found this year are not very profitable. When I am busy, my feet don't touch the ground, and I have to run and grab food... Originally, I looked at it
People say it’s 180 a day, so I’m gritting my teeth and holding on.”
"It turned out that the results were not good, and the salary didn't count...it was directly converted to piece-rate work, but there was no work, so I could earn dozens of dollars a day...Ouch! I won't work with this agency next year."
With her was Zhou Shunshui's family in the village. They just had a grandson this year. The couple left in less than May and wanted to make money together!
The results of it?
"Four factories have been changed in half a year!" Zhou Shunshui and his wife were very frustrated: "I don't want to go there next year."
Ulan knew it in his heart.
At this moment, he made a half-truth and half-false invitation: "It's okay, come to my house to work tomorrow! My house has a lot of places reserved now, and we will be short of people next year!"
She looked sincere: "It's harder in the mountains, but if you take the time, you can also grow some vegetables for your family, and find someone to harvest them together. It can also be a bit of income..."
Tan Tan said that it would be best for the whole village to grow their own vegetables, so that everyone would be prosperous and everyone would suffer.
Moreover, the whole village has developed, everyone has money in their pockets, and people who come and go frequently, won’t there be more people willing to stay in the countryside?
The returning migrant workers were very moved when they heard this, but before they could speak, they heard someone shouting at the door again:
"Oh, Ulan, your relatives are here too!"
Wulan turned out of the yard and saw her aunt Song Hongmei, who had not been here for a long time, and her sister Wu Fang!
Wu Fang asked as soon as he entered the yard: "Where is Zhang Yanping? He is so busy today, is he still lazy?"
Zhang Yanping, who was editing the live broadcast preview upstairs, sneezed hard!
