Xue Ling said goodbye to Wang Qing, turned around and took the key, and left with Liu Xiaoyu.
In the evening, she came back.
Cheng Tianyuan was cutting mutton and dipped it in sauce and asked, "Where have you and Boss Liu? I'm still worried that you won't be able to eat mutton slices!"
Xue Ling glanced at the big lamb leg and couldn't help asking: "Changbo is here? Have you killed the sheep again?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "He killed the horse and sent us a leg, and also sent some to his son. The others were sold to the villagers."
At this time, Uncle Third and Dad Xue came back with Xiao Ranran.
"This afternoon, Chen Min took his wife back to his parents' home. Mu Hai had to go over to help and said that we would come back tonight and we don't have to wait for him to have supper."
Liu Ying and Xue’s mother helped in the kitchen.
Xue Ling couldn't see his youngest son and asked quickly: "Where is the second child? Why didn't you see him?"
"I just drank milk and went to bed." Xue's mother explained: "The weather is already a little cold, and we took a shower at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The boy was very happy to play with the water, and he was always reluctant to sleep, and he was very excited.
I just fed my breasts and fell asleep when I was sleepy."
Liu Ying smiled and said, "I guess I won't sleep for too long. He will not sleep well in the second half of the night."
The third uncle smiled and said, "These two children are good kids. I have never heard them cry in the second half of the night."
Xue Ling listened carefully and couldn't help asking: "Uncle San, you won't always suffer from insomnia at night, right? Otherwise, how would you know if you were crying?"
San Bo laughed and said, "I slept well every day, how could I have insomnia! The night is very quiet here. If the child cries, I will definitely be awakened. If I was not awakened, it would prove that they
Didn't you cry?"
Everyone laughed.
Uncle San looked at Cheng Tianyuan cutting mutton slices and twitched twice.
"This sheep is so fresh. The food you have here is delicious, and the price is fresh. In the imperial capital, if you want to eat such things, you will occasionally put them for half a day before you buy them home. When you go back, you will wait. When you eat it, you will be the same.
The queen is here, it’s not fresh.”
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "This was slaughtered in the afternoon, about three hours away from now. It's still fresh."
"Fresh enough." Xue's father said: "In addition, the weather is cold, things are not easy to break, and the meat quality has not become worse."
Uncle San sat down and smiled and said, "I have been here for more than ten days. I feel that I may have gained several pounds. I am faster than pigs!"
Everyone laughed.
When Xue Ling heard the word "pig", he explained: "I went to the riverside with Liu Xiaoyu earlier and found it was very good. I planned to invest in his brother-in-law to build a farm to raise pigs."
"Pig farms? What kind of pigs are specialized in raising pigs?"
"How big is the place? How many pigs can I raise?"
"You only know how to eat pork, but you don't know what pig farming is like! You're mixed up!"
Xue Ling laughed and explained: "The place is quite big. After all, you should be able to raise three or four hundred heads. If the space is used well and a row is built, you may be able to raise five hundred heads."
"That's quite big." Uncle San nodded.
Xue Ling said: "I have already agreed to him that I will withdraw money to invest tomorrow. I will pay the capital, and he and his wife and an elderly couple are responsible for raising and taking care of them, and they earn 50 cents of the money."
"The investment cost is not very large, right?" asked Dad Xue.
"About 30,000." Xue Ling explained: "Their family is too poor and don't have that much capital to invest. Usually, the family relies on raising pigs to live. They have good pig farming skills, but there are many people who eat and few people who work, so the economy is economical.
It has never been very good. There are seven children in the family, almost one per year, which is amazing!"
"Thirty thousand is not too much." Xue's father said: "If there are too many, the cost can be recovered in one or two years. However, the initial investment is relatively large, and a batch of pigs will be raised for about a year, so unless there is any extra money.
If people invest, it would definitely be difficult.”
"That's the reason." Xue Ling said: "So when I mentioned 50 or 50 points, they agreed in one bite. But I asked me to pay for pig food and other things. I said I believed in Liu Xiaoyu and asked him to help me remember it.
When selling pigs, you can also write a note, and you will share the money after selling pigs."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but remind: "Liu Xiaoyu is usually very busy."
"His lover wants to go over and help feed the pigs." Xue Ling explained: "His lover knows a few words and can simply count them. He can just help calculate. This is not a big company, and it needs to be paid in any way. So it's not a big company.
trouble."
Seeing that she had already agreed to make arrangements, Cheng Tianyuan did not stop her.
"If you think it's good, go and invest. Maybe we can still have fresh pork. If you want to eat roasted suckling pig, go and find one."
Everyone laughed.
"Yes, there will be free pork in the future!"
"I just said roasted suckling pig, and I was moved when I heard it. It was a very good dish! By the way, Ah Hu's mother doesn't know if it will be roasted?"
Xue Ling laughed and took her son to wash her hands.
"There is not a single word yet, you have already discussed eating pigs! Haha!"
After washing the child's hands, she hung the millet porridge on and fed him a little bit.
Cheng Tianyuan heated up the oil and started frying lamb slices. In an instant, the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of cumin and the smell of fried meat, which was very fragrant.
Some people ate and some people fry them. Everyone was chatting and eating happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and joyful.
...
After eating, everyone suggested taking a walk by the river.
Xue's mother and Liu Ying stayed, and they helped clean the kitchen, and also stayed to see Xiao Yangyang who was still sleeping.
The others went downstairs and planned to take a walk by the river.
"No, the wind is too strong over the river there, and it will be too cold at night." Xue Ling suggested: "Let's walk along this road in the community. There are street lights, the road is flat, and there are not many cars."
"That's OK." Dad Xue agreed.
Cheng Tianyuan threw his son on his shoulders, and the father and son walked forward happily.
Xue Ling walked beside the third uncle and his father, chatting quietly.
Uncle San narrowed his eyes and looked at the stars vaguely in the sky, and whispered: "The winter evening is really too short, it feels like it's dark in the blink of an eye."
Xue Ling asked with a smile: "Did the third uncle miss home?"
"Ghostly spirit!" Uncle San laughed and said, "If people leave home, they always miss home. I am old and always think of my childhood when I was young. I lived so carefree that time.
ah!"
Xue Ling suddenly remembered the big house in his hometown and couldn't help asking: "Uncle San, the old house in the east of the city is very dilapidated? No one lives there?"
"It's gone." Uncle San explained: "The house has been too long and has been disrepaired for a long time, and no one has taken care of it. It can no longer be lived in. It's too dangerous!"
Xue Ling thought of Cai Yunyan and asked curiously: "Uncle San, you already live in the east of the city. Do you know a family named Cai?"
"Meet." said the third uncle: "It's right behind our old house, very close to each other, so I'm considered a neighbor. The Cai family is also a prosperous family with many younger generations. They are younger than us, similar to Zhilan and others.
