It was already past eight o'clock when we returned to the village. Han Yuanfang did not go home, but went directly to her grandfather's house.
The old couple was drying sweet potatoes, "Yuanfang, how did you load the car by yourself?"
"Master, I can still carry dozens of pounds.
"Nai, these are the fried cakes I bought for you in the countryside. You guys can try them, they are delicious." They are actually already cold.
The old couple did not refuse, and Han Yuanfang was put into the house.
"Yuanfang, I gave half of the pig's blood to Butcher Liu, and there's still a lot left. You can take some back and keep it for stir-fried cabbage.
I'll stew it for you in the afternoon." Grandma Han chatted with her granddaughter.
"Nai, do you think I should send some pig blood to the village chief's family and Dongmei's family?"
Grandma Han shook her head and said in a low voice, "Yuanfang, there's no need to do that. We all know what's going on with you. It wouldn't be good if you gave it away."
When others have work and you are free, help out."
Everyone can understand it. For such a little girl to live her own life, it’s better not to be too showy.
"Milk, just keep it for you and my father to eat."
"We don't want it. We also have pigs at home. We'll stew them for you. You have to eat some for every meal. They're too thin."
Han Yuanfang did not refuse. She actually liked to eat animal offal, but she kept controlling herself because of her health.
I thought that no matter what I say now, the old couple won't want it, so I'd better wait until they are familiar with it.
They are both so old. Although they are not close, they are related by blood after all. She is not the Virgin. If the old couple had not been fair since she came here, she would not be like this.
Han Yuanfang actually likes to get along with each other neither far nor close. Being too close will cause pressure.
When I got home, I started preparing to kill the chicken.
You can't kill pigs, but there is no problem in killing chickens.
Growing up in rural areas, children of that age can basically do it, even if they have not been killed, such as removing chicken feathers, etc., there is no problem.
She doesn't plan to keep any of the five chickens at home.
Depending on the situation next year, I actually don’t plan to raise it.
I go to the countryside to go to school and can't come back at noon every day. It's actually not suitable to keep animals at home.
After boiling the water, she went to catch the chickens. All five chickens had their blood bled, and they were clattering in the vegetable patch. She quickly prepared a big pot.
Just as she was shedding her chicken feathers, there was a knock on the door.
"Yuanfang, open the door, I'm here to deliver your homework."
Han Yuanfang quickly washed her hands and ran to open the door for Han Dongmei.
"What are you doing? Killing the chicken?"
"Yeah, you can't lay eggs anymore. Keeping them is a waste of food."
"I'll help you."
“But there’s no need, I’ll just have one and that’ll be it.
By the way, I have blood tofu at home, please take some back."
The little sister came over and asked her to take some back.
Han Dongmei waved her hands quickly, "No, no, my family has told me not to take advantage of you."
Han Yuanfang remembered her grandma's words and stopped trying to persuade her. She could just wait until she went to the county or city to sell it.
"Yuanfang, my boss left four papers." Han Dongmei said dissatisfied.
"Dongmei, think about it, how many words can you write on the paper given to you? Our old class has to engrave it. We have to write every word, right?"
Han Dongmei was stunned. "That's right, it's not easy for Laoban either.
By the way, I heard that my old classmate will go to a rural primary school to be a teacher after teaching us this year, and it’s not easy for her to run back and forth every day.”
"Isn't it?"
"Maybe we can meet my old classmate when we go to junior high school in the countryside."
Han Yuanfang worked quickly. She had already removed the last chicken, washed it and disemboweled it.
"Yuanfang, you can do this job very neatly."
"What's the point? I see my parents doing it every year."
Han Dongmei immediately changed the subject, "Yuanfang, if you kill the chicken now, it won't taste good during the Chinese New Year."
"Then I'll have time to sell them, and then I'll buy them alive during the Chinese New Year."
"It's also a good idea. Okay, I'm going back to do my homework. Listening to what you said, I think it's not easy for my old class. I'm going to go back and write hard."
"That's right, you must be worthy of Laoban's heart."
After everything was cleaned up, she took the chicken feathers and threw them into a big pit far away from home, where the whole village's garbage was thrown.
When I came back, I started cleaning up the pig pens and chicken pens non-stop.
It's already freezing now, but it can still be moved, so I'll feel better after cleaning it up.
Because of this kind of work, she didn't even have anything to eat at noon.
I took off my coat and threw it outside, lying on the hot kang and actually fell asleep.
After I woke up, I felt a little stuffy. I quickly drank two bags of isatis root, but I couldn't get sick anymore.
I went out to do laundry, and then when I came back, I sat down and did my homework with peace of mind.
The four papers contained quite a lot of questions, but I worked hard and finished them all in two hours.
After checking it again, she put it away. She has adapted to the exam now. There will be no problem in attending the key classes in junior high school.
I'm just worried about foreign languages. I didn't learn them well in my previous life. When I was working, I heard those college students say that foreign languages are not difficult. The main thing is the context.
She was thinking that she would go to the city next time to see if there were any tape recorders and tapes. They should be available by this time, right? She wasn't sure either.
Thinking that Grandma Han said she was going to stew the water, and that all the work at home had been taken care of, I just went over to see if there was anything I could do.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I smelled the fragrance.
Grandma’s cooking skills are really good.
It was grandpa who opened the door. "I was just about to call you, but the water has already been stewed."
"Master, my craftsmanship is really good. You can smell the fragrance outside."
Grandpa Han just smiled, "Your milk is coming out of the pot."
"Master, I can't eat so much by myself, so I'll leave half for you, and you and I will eat the milk first. We have it at home, so why don't we have it now?"
Grandpa Han thought for a moment, "Okay." He waited until the family killed the pig and left a few kilograms of meat for this girl.
"Milk, just give me a set. I don't want the intestines or the small intestines. I don't want the pig's head either. I can't shave it well."
"I'll shave it off for you in a moment and give you both pig heads. You can eat the pig head meat cold."
"I don't want milk or pig lungs either. I don't like eating them."
In the end, Grandma Han gave Han Yuanfang two pig heads and eight pig trotters, as well as pig liver and pig belly. No matter what, Han Yuanfang didn't want the rest.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Grandpa Han went to open the door, and it was Han Shuli who came in.
She has recovered, but she no longer goes to school and hangs around the house all day.
I smelled the smell of meat today, why don't I come in?
When she saw Han Yuanfang smiling, her pupils shrank together.
She was now afraid of Han Yuanfang from the bottom of her heart. Although she was told that there was no ghost, that night, the white cloth touched her face.
