The next day, early in the morning, Xu Erlong rode his bicycle and took Wen Ye with him to that house to ask about the New Year Pig.
Watching the two figures go away, Xiaoling shook her head helplessly. Alas, young people today, why are they so careless about the impact? They just come and go together. Can't they be separated?
Xu Erlong rode his bicycle and asked along the way, and soon found the family named Liu.
Before entering the village, I heard the screams of pigs, which was frightening.
Apparently, they came by chance, they happened to be killing pigs today.
Just as I was thinking about it, a pig rushed over, covered in blood, and was making a last-ditch effort. Even the pig butcher couldn't hold it down and let it jump up.
He rushed to not far from Xu Erlong, then fell to the ground, stretched his legs, and was completely out of breath.
Wen Ye was also frightened. Who would have thought that this pig could be so brave.
The butcher came over, took the completely dead pig back, boiled water and scalded it.
Xu Erlong found Liu Daqiang.
With a gentle smile, he handed over the cigarette and maintained friendship with the other party.
The other party also remembered who he was, the one who wore a big red flower and accepted the Ten Thousand Yuan Household Commendation.
When Xu Erlong said he wanted to share some pork, Liu Daqiang expressed his embarrassment. His relatives and fellow villagers had already made arrangements to share the pig.
"Don't you have several at home? Why don't you give me half of this first. As for the price, I can give you a little more." Xu Erlong said.
Anyway, the New Year is coming, and people also need to earn some money for the New Year. Give them more money and be accommodating.
"Okay, since you said so, I'll give you half of this pig." Liu Daqiang will not be troubled by money.
Xu Erlong and Wen Ye stood at the edge of the village, watching with interest the butcher taking care of the dead pigs.
Sure enough, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
While pouring boiling water on the dead pig, he used a scraper to scrape the hair off the pig.
In the process of scalding and shaving, the pig hair was finally sorted out.
Then, prepare to disembowel him.
Wen Ye turned his head, unable to accept the scene that followed.
"Okay, don't look at it." Xu Erlong protected her and avoided the looking eyes of those idle men from the countryside.
After another round of handling, the pig was finally solved.
Then, it’s time to treat everyone to shaved pork soup.
Shaved pig soup is a name that has emerged here. It uses big bones to make soup, and then mixes pig tenderloin, pork liver, blood, rice intestines, etc. with some fresh vegetable leaves, such as lettuce leaves, white buns or yellow rice shoots.
Make a large pot of mixed vegetable soup.
After cooking, sprinkle with chopped green onion. It is fresh, crispy and tender, and the soup is rich in flavor. It seems that the fatigue of the whole day is cured by this bowl of shaved pork soup.
Xu Erlong and Wen Ye were eating shaved pig soup here.
"It's so delicious." Wen Ye pursed his lips and whispered in Xu Erlong's ear.
She has never eaten shaved pig soup.
In the past, when someone killed a pig in the village, other people in the village would come and drink a bowl of soup, but no one called her.
Everyone thinks she has a bad reputation.
"After that, we will come to eat every year?" Xu Erlong asked.
"It's not such an exaggeration." Wen Ye objected with a gentle smile, but her heart felt warm. Erlong was so kind and took care of her in everything. She also wanted to be good to Erlong and stay with him forever.
After drinking and eating, Xu Erlong stood up and said goodbye.
He was not familiar with these villagers anyway and had no friendship with them. He would leave when he was full.
Liu Daqiang helped carry the half of the pork prepared for him to the side of the bicycle, took the straw rope, and tied the half of the pork firmly to the back seat.
The butcher even patted the pork and said, "Look, it's very stable. You can shake it no matter how you shake it and it won't fall off."
The pork is fully elastic under the action of his big palm.
Xu Erlong thanked him and took Wen Ye back.
This time, pork was tied to the back seat, so Wen Ye naturally couldn't sit in the back anymore and sat on the beam in front.
The two of them kissed each other, and their laughter flew down the country road.
Xu Damin stood on the ridge of the field, holding a piece of meat in his hand.
Xu Damin was deeply stimulated when he saw Xu Erlong riding a bicycle and passing by the road with his partner without even giving him a look.
He felt that Xu Erlong deliberately humiliated him like this.
He just feels good about himself.
Xu Erlong was riding his bicycle and only focused on looking at the road and talking to Wen Ye. He didn't even pay attention to the people on the field ridge. He didn't see them at all.
Besides, so what if I saw it?
Is it possible that we have to make a special trip to have a verbal argument? I don’t have that much time.
"Isn't that Xu Erlong?" said Mrs. Xu next to her.
Although she was old and her eyes were dim, she could tell that the laughter just now was that of Xu Erlong, and it was unmistakable.
"Hmm." Xu Damin groaned.
"Look at how proud he is." Mrs. Xu spat, "I don't know what he is proud of. What's so big about having a bicycle?"
After that, she still praised Xu Damin happily: "It's better for my Damin, my precious grandson, to earn enough money to buy such a big piece of meat."
Xu Dongsheng was silent with a slumped face.
Mrs. Xu is old, her eyesight is bad and she cannot see, but he can see clearly.
Didn't you see that half a fan of pork on the back seat of that bicycle just now?
Xu Damin went home and happily bought a pound of meat, while Xu Erlong carried half a fan of pork home.
At that moment, Xu Dongsheng was hit again and couldn't find the north and south.
Sure enough, this college student’s son is not as good as the self-employed son?
How can this be?
Xu Dongsheng could only console himself that Damin was a scholar and could not compete with self-employed people.
In the future, Damin will be a city dweller, a person who eats royal food and sits in an office with an iron job. Xu Erlong will not be able to achieve this achievement even if he is a self-employed person for the rest of his life.
Mrs. Xu was still chattering, and Xu Damin was upset.
"Grandma, you go home and cook the meat first. I have something else to do and have to go find my classmate." Xu Damin said.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and help you cook the meat first. Then you can come back and eat it." Mrs. Xu said cheerfully, carrying the piece of meat home first.
Xu Damin turned around and looked for his classmates.
This classmate was in the same class as him in high school, but unfortunately, he didn't get into college.
Xu Damin went to find this classmate with enthusiasm, thinking that they would be very friendly after not seeing each other for half a year.
But unexpectedly, his classmates were very indifferent to him and didn't seem to want to interact with him more.
Xu Damin secretly thought to himself, could it be that he was jealous of himself because he was admitted to college and the other party was not?
Finally, the classmate asked him hesitantly whether he planned to recognize Xu Dongsheng as his father.
This inexplicable question made Monk Xu Damin confused: "Why do I recognize him as my father? My own father is here. He just went out to work."
The classmates looked at him and were speechless: "But everyone says that Xu Dongsheng is your biological father, and they say that you are a bastard."
