After a while, when they saw Luo Youlong from a distance, everyone surrounding the Su family's yard became excited.
"Look! The captain is here! We can finally start killing the pigs!"
The adults and children all had smiles on their faces.
Su Nanbing pulled Jinbao into the house, "Killing pigs is too bloody, children can't watch it."
Jin Bao had no intention of watching Uncle Luo kill the pig, so she nodded obediently and went upstairs alone.
Not long after the little girl went upstairs, the screams of pigs and the laughter of the crowd came from the pig pen.
Catching pigs, tying pigs, and killing pigs all at once...
Su Xiaosi and Su Xiaowu were at the front of the crowd, with Jiang Yun next to them. The boys' eyes were filled with curiosity, and they watched intently as Captain Luo inserted a knife into the pig's heart, and blood spurted out in the next second.
.
Most villages hire butchers to kill pigs, but Luo Youlong thought it was too expensive, so he hired someone to learn from him in the past two years. He practiced the skill of killing pigs. While the knife was inserted into the heart, he held it with his other hand.
The basin firmly caught the pig blood.
"Captain! That's awesome!" The members of the production team applauded fiercely, "Not a drop of blood was wasted!"
When the other villagers heard the applause, they also applauded, praising Luo Youlong for his ability in killing pigs.
Bai Lu couldn't bear to look at it and was curious at the same time. She put her head next to her husband and put her arms around his arms.
"Is the killing finished?" Bai Lu asked with half-squinted eyes, "Is the pig dead?"
Su Jianmin nodded, "Well, Captain Luo's technique is really powerful. As soon as the knife was inserted, blood spurted out, and the pig blood spurted out was still bubbling..."
"If the knife is inserted into it and blood doesn't spurt out, what else can it spurt?"
Su Jianmin smiled and said: "You don't understand this. If the pig-killing technique is poor, the knife will not be inserted into the heart accurately, and the blood will flow less. Before the blood flows completely, it will solidify in the body first, and the pig will not die and will be in pain.
faint……
When I was a kid, in order to save money, the village chief hired a half-baked butcher to kill a pig. He thought the pig was dead, but he untied the rope and the pig came back to life. The pig also had rough skin and thick flesh. After being stabbed like that, it woke up.
Come and run faster than anyone else.
I remember that our whole village was chasing pigs everywhere, which is funny when I think about it..."
Bai Lu was originally feeling a little uncomfortable because the pig she had raised for several months was killed. Now when she heard her husband's exaggerated tone, she couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is it the Chinese New Year time?"
"Of course, apart from the Chinese New Year, how can rural people kill pigs at other times?"
While the couple were chatting, Luo Youlong seemed to suddenly think of something and shouted anxiously in the direction of Bai Lu: "Daughter-in-law Lao Su, do you have any salt at home? Put some in the pig's blood. I forgot to bring the salt. This pig's blood
It would have solidified without adding salt."
"Yes!" Bai Lu responded quickly and ran back to the kitchen to get salt.
While everyone was busy with the matter of killing pigs, Xie Shuting walked up to Su Wenian with clenched fists.
Su Wenian was talking to his second brother when he suddenly turned around and saw Xie Shuting standing in front of him, and was slightly stunned.
"What's the matter?" Su Wennian asked, "Are you here to see Hua Wenli? She doesn't seem to be in the house..."
"No, I'm not looking for her. I, I'm looking for you. I have something to tell you."
Noticing that Xie Shuting's face was red, her eyes were slightly lowered, and her expression showed the shyness of a girl, Su Nanbing reacted, smiled and patted Wennian on the shoulder, "I went upstairs to find Jinbao, you guys chat."
"Second brother, wait..."
Before Su Wenian could finish speaking, his second brother had already turned around and went upstairs.
"Hey," Su Wennian sighed and looked at Xie Shuting again, "If anything happens, just tell me."
Xie Shuting bit her lip, "There are too many people here, can we go in and talk?"
"Then come in." Su Wennian walked to the empty room next to the woodshed.
"I want to tell you, Wen Nian, you should be able to feel it, right? I'm telling you..."
Halfway through her words, Xie Shuting took a deep breath before continuing: "I treat you differently from others. I..."
I had thought of a lot of confession words on the road before, some were romantic, some were literary, some were affectionate, but now standing in front of Su Wennian, she was stammering after a sentence, her mind was blank, there was no foreshadowing, and she just said it with a blushing face.
Said: "I like you."
It was as if her brain was stuck. After saying these four words, she couldn't say another word.
"Thank you, but...I'm sorry..."
As if he had anticipated her confession, Su Wennian spoke in an extremely calm tone, without a trace of surprise in his eyes, and said: "I don't think you and I are suitable. You can find someone better than me."
Xie Shuting's previous shyness, nervousness and anticipation suddenly turned into shame, embarrassment and sadness...
"Why?" Unable to accept Su Wennian's answer, her nose felt sore, "Why do you think we are not suitable?"
"I have read your information. You are an only child. If you and I get married, what will happen to your parents? Who will take care of them? Don't you think Liu Changping is more suitable for you than me? You are neighbors.
And you..."
Before Su Wenian could finish speaking, Xie Shuting shouted sharply.
In order to stop Su Wenian from saying anything later, she covered her ears and shouted in a broken voice, "Stop talking!"
This sound made the originally lively crowd outside become silent for two seconds. They looked left and right, "What's the sound?"
"Why did I seem to hear someone shouting just now?" Everyone looked into the Su family's house.
Liu Changping, who was waiting outside for Shuting's good news, was stunned.
He almost immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Shuting, and ran into Su's house anxiously, "Shuting?"
In full view of everyone, Xie Shuting ran out of Su's house crying, wiping her tears as she ran, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Shu Ting, what's wrong with you?" Liu Changping hurriedly caught up, "What did Su Wennian say to you?"
Others started gossiping and were curious about what happened to this female educated youth and Wen Nian.
"Lao Su, what's going on?" Luo Youlong, who was about to divide the meat, asked Su Jianmin, who was helping him, "What is the relationship between your Wen Nian and that Xie Shuting? Did the two of them quarrel?"
"I don't know, it probably doesn't matter. I've never heard Wen Nian mention Xie Shuting..."
Having said that, he felt a little worried for no reason, and wiped his hands stained with pig blood twice on the clean cotton cloth, "I'm going to ask about the situation, and I'll come back to help you later."
"No, no, my son will help me divide the meat. You can go and do it."
After hearing what Luo Youlong said, Su Jianmin nodded and ran into the room to ask Wen Nian what happened just now.
His wife was one step ahead of him. At this time, she pulled Wennian and asked in a low voice: "Why did you make this girl cry so well? What did you say? If you said something wrong, you have to apologize quickly.
