Su Xue must have seen people killing chickens. When she was a child, she saw her father (adoptive father) killing chickens, and she even helped pluck the chicken feathers. But that doesn't mean she dared to kill chickens with a knife.
But now no one is helping her, so she has to do it herself.
Su Xue stared at the big rooster with its feet tied on the ground, and said in her mouth, "I'm sorry, don't blame me. If you want to blame me, I can only blame you because you were born as a poultry and should be eaten by others, and my family needs you very much."
regain strength."
After she finished reciting, she turned around and squatted in front of the big cock with her hands clasped together.
"So when I chop your neck, can you die quickly?"
Su Xue was talking loudly and angrily with the big rooster whose feet were tied.
She doesn't think eating chicken is so unscrupulous. This poultry is raised for people to eat. Su Xue understands this very clearly. She is not so pretentious that she thinks eating poultry and livestock is a cruel act.
.
She is just afraid.
I'm afraid that when I kill the chicken, it looks a bit cruel if it doesn't die.
So before taking action, she first discussed it with the big rooster. After a while, she raised the knife and dropped it, so that he could die early.
The big rooster would not answer her words, but there was a chuckle from the side. Su Xue raised her head and saw a sweaty He Xiaojun coming over with Su Baoer.
Her eyes lit up slightly.
"Xiaojun, did grandma ask you to come over and help kill the chickens?"
He Xiaojun stepped forward and looked at Su Xue suspiciously, with 'How did you know?' written clearly on his face.
"Are you really a weirdo?"
He Xiaojun asked.
Su Xue burst out laughing. She did not answer He Xiaojun's words, but looked at Su Baoer aside.
Su Baoer still had this tacit understanding with her sister. She jumped up to Su Xue's side, "I told Grandma He that my sister bought a big rooster when she came to our house for dinner in the evening! Grandma asked He Xiaojun to help."
The old lady’s original words were ‘Go and see if your sister Xiaoxue needs help’.
Then He Xiaojun came.
Su Xue nodded after listening to Su Baoer's words, and looked at He Xiaojun with a smile: "Can you kill chickens?"
He Xiaojun snorted, "There's nothing I can't do." He took the kitchen knife from Su Xue's hand, grabbed the big rooster on the ground and wiped its neck directly.
The attack was so fast that Su Xue did not react.
Su Baoer wowed, "Brother Xiaojun, you are so awesome!"
He Xiaojun originally thought it was very ordinary, but after hearing Su Baoer's praise and seeing the admiration on her face, He Xiaojun snorted and raised his chin slightly.
"It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning."
"..."
This kid...
In any case, with He Xiaojun's help, things got much better. Su Xue watched He Xiaojun deftly put the killed big rooster into a wooden basin filled with hot water to remove its feathers, so she felt relieved.
Just do her thing.
First put the rice in the pot and cook it, and then go to the vegetable field not far away to pick some vegetables. This vegetable field was planted by Zhang Meihua. Their family has two vegetable fields. Knowing that Su Xue's family now doesn't even have private land,
Zhang Meihua gave the vegetables from this vegetable field to Su Xue.
Su Xue gave Zhang Meihua ten yuan before. Zhang Meihua originally didn't want it, but Su Xue said she wouldn't pick vegetables and ate them if she didn't want the money, so Zhang Meihua accepted the money.
They also picked a lot of fruits and melons from the vegetable field next to their house and gave them to Su Xue, for fear of taking advantage of Su Xue.
Su Xue was a little dumbfounded by this, but at the same time she respected Zhang Meihua and her family even more.
She came to the vegetable field and saw fresh pumpkins and beans. After thinking about it, she picked some of each to stew together for a while. She also picked some water spinach for frying.
Considering that everyone was tired after a day of work today, Su Xue planned to cook a few more dishes. Even if there was only one big rooster, she had to make a table of meals to satisfy them all.
After picking the green vegetables, she picked a few chili peppers. He Qingdong liked spicy food, and he was particularly fond of spicy food. Su Xue was going to fry a piece of spicy chicken for him in a while.
The chicken is quite big, and the remaining part can be used to stir-fry and make soup.
When the dishes were brought home, He Xiaojun was already preparing to put them away. Su Baoer moved a small stool not far away and watched He Xiaojun work, with good words floating out of his mouth as if he didn't need any money.
Su Xue was a little funny when she saw this scene.
She carried the vegetable basket over and fetched a bucket of water from the well to wash away the dust and other debris on the vegetables. The tender fruits were very appetizing just looking at them.
"Here, that's it." He Xiaojun handed the cleaned rooster to Su Xue. It was clean without a single feather.
"Xiaojun did a great job." Su Xue praised sincerely.
The old lady taught all the brothers well.
He Xiaojun snorted.
"That's right, don't look at who I am."
He was very proud and proud, and Su Xue did not attack him. He Xiaojun and Su Xiaohu were the same age, but they were both able to work as adults.
Su Xue felt ashamed.
When it gets completely dark and the roads are no longer visible, those who work in the fields finish their work and go home. After a hard day's work, you can imagine how tired your body is. Fortunately, everyone in the village knows to let people go home first in the afternoon.
The family cooks, so that they can eat the cooked meal immediately when they get home.
Those who are strong enough after taking a break can even go back to work in the fields.
He Qingdong and the Su brothers walked to the village warehouse together.
Su Xiaohu, who usually jumped up and down like a monkey, after a day of cruel autumn harvest beatings, he was as human as an eggplant beaten by frost and didn't want to say a word.
He walked home with his extremely heavy legs.
The only thing that can comfort him is probably that he can lie in bed motionless after eating enough.
Su Xiaolong is in better condition than him and can still walk home with a normal expression, but his pace is obviously not as relaxed as usual. Among these three people, the one with the easiest pace may be He Qingdong?
He held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and put his hands in his trouser pockets. His posture was as lazy and casual as ever. I don't know if he was tired. Anyway, when he just finished work, he swam to the nearby river twice.
Just came out.
"Sister, brother and the others are back!"
Su Baoer, who had been out watching the wind, saw his brother and the others from a distance, and immediately turned his head and shouted inside.
Su Xue put the food on the table. Mrs. He wanted to help, but Su Xue didn't allow her to interfere.
"Grandma, please take a rest. You have worked all day." Although the old lady is in her sixties and still very strong, Su Xue is embarrassed to let people help her set up the dishes after working in the fields all day.
Those chopsticks.
The old lady smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed and she looked at Su Xue. She nodded constantly as she watched her busy on the side.
"Dongzi is so lucky."
I found a good girl who is so hardworking and kind.
The satisfaction on Mrs. He's face was almost overflowing.
Su Xue was a little shy, but she hummed shamelessly: "It's because I'm lucky."
Although she left the city and returned to the countryside, she met many very good people, so she was lucky.
