"Here he comes, put it down quickly. Do you want to boil the water at home?" Wang Xiufen asked Li Cuihua with a smile.
"Well, sister-in-law, the water at home has boiled. Didn't I just come over to see when we can do it? I have already turned off the fire in the stove, and a pot full of boiling water is waiting for us." Li Cuihua also said
Said to him.
"It's okay. I'm almost done here. I'm just waiting for your brother and the others. They're still chatting in the West Room now, so there's no rush." Wang Xiufen glanced at the West Room, and then said with a smile.
"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, they're nagging them, and it's indeed a bit early to do it now. Let's wait a while and let's take a break. As long as we can eat before noon," Li Cuihua said to Wang Xiufen. p>
Then Wang Xiufen also walked to the west room and looked at the people sitting on the Kang.
"How about it? When are you going to do it?" Wang Xiufen said with a smile.
"Later, it's too early. Let's start again when everyone arrives later. We'll tie up the piglet later," Zhang Tiejun also said after hearing this.
"Okay, let's do that. Cuihua and I will go to the east room first. You can call us when the time is almost up." Wang Xiufen also said after hearing Zhang Tiejun's words.
"Okay, you guys go over first." Zhang Tiejun waved his hand after hearing Wang Xiufen's words, and then said.
Then Wang Xiufen also went to the east room and saw the two little lazy pigs still on the bed under the quilt. She smiled and shook her head, then got on the bed and slapped Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan twice. p>
"Why haven't you woken up yet? What time is it? Get up quickly. I'm still too lazy to get in bed. Let's see who comes over. Isn't it embarrassing?" Wang Xiufen smiled and cursed at the two little guys.
"Mom, let us sleep for a while longer, we will wake up in a while," Zhang Xiaoxia muttered, then covered her head with the quilt.
"Look at this kid, what's going on? Your aunt is here. Isn't it embarrassing? If you don't get up, I will pull the covers off you." Wang Xiufen also threatened them.
Hearing that there was no movement under the quilt, Wang Xiufen no longer showed mercy. She grabbed a corner of the quilt and pulled hard, and the two little guys were exposed.
Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan opened their eyes in a daze and saw Wang Xiufen holding a quilt on the kang and looking at them, while Li Cuihua on the ground looked at them with a smile.
"You two get up quickly and get dressed. People will come over soon. Why don't you get stuck in bed?" Wang Xiufen also said slightly angrily.
Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan reluctantly got up and got dressed after hearing Wang Xiufen's words. After getting dressed, Wang Xiufen also folded the quilt and put it in the cabinet on the kang.
"You two little guys, hurry up and wash your faces. Everyone will be here soon," Li Cuihua also said to them.
When the two of them heard what Li Cuihua said, they quickly went to the ground, and then went to the outhouse to get water to wash their faces.
"Look at these two children, they are so ignorant and don't know how to call anyone." Wang Xiufen said angrily when she saw Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan didn't call anyone when they saw Li Cuihua on the kang.
"Haha, I haven't even woken up yet. Who can I recognize in such a daze? These two girls, sister-in-law, you can enjoy the blessings from now on," Li Cuihua said with a smile.
"Well, as long as you don't let me worry about it, I really don't expect to be happy," Wang Xiufen also sighed.
While the two were chatting, Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming saw that the time was almost up and got dressed, ready to invite someone.
"Dad, uncle, we went over, let's get some piglets when we come back later," Zhang Peng said to Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai.
"You guys, go over. You are not needed for this job. Your uncle and I will finish it. When you come back, we will start killing the pigs," Zhang Tiejun said to Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming.
"Okay, let's go first." After saying this, Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming walked out.
Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming first came to the old party secretary's house. When they arrived in the yard, they saw Ding Shengli coming out with a dustpan to pour out the wood ash. They were also stunned when they saw Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming. They didn't know what they were doing here, but they still greeted them with a smile.
Go up.
"Uncle, come out and pour out the ashes," Zhang Peng said with a smile.
"Ah, it's Xiaopeng and Chunming. Why are you here so early? What's the rush?" Ding Shengli said to the two of them with a smile.
"That's it, uncle. Didn't Chunming and I catch two yellow-haired pigs from the mountain a few years ago? We raised them until winter and thought about killing them. They treated them as New Year pigs. My dad and I, Uncle Zhao, let them
Let's come over and invite you to eat pig meat at noon," Zhang Peng said with a smile.
"Oh, it's a good relationship. I'll come over later. I told your aunt two days ago that there is no one who kills New Year pigs in the village during the New Year. I always feel that something is missing." Ding Shengli heard Zhang Peng say
If so, he said happily.
"Haha, it's settled. Uncle, you go ahead and do your work. We'll leave first. There are others who need to be notified." Zhang Peng also said to Ding Shengli.
"Okay, go quickly. I'll be there after I finish my work. Don't worry about it." Ding Shengli also said to the two of them.
Then the two of them rushed to He Yuming's house. After seeing He Yuming, they also talked about the situation. After receiving a positive answer, Zhang Peng and Zhang Peng left and rushed to the next house. They walked all the way to Zhao Chunming's master's house.
, Wang Xiaoli’s family and Hou Damao’s family were notified, and finally they came to Zhao Laowen’s house.
When they arrived at Zhao Laowen's yard, they found that the yard had just been cleaned and it was very clean, which meant that Zhao Laowen was at home.
When Heihu saw the two of them, he was wagging his tail excitedly. Heihu's two children were also wagging their tails and wanted to get close to each other. They had come here many times and they already knew each other.
Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming came to the door together. Before they could open the door, someone pushed the door open from the inside, and Zhao Laowen walked out with a smile.
"Why are you two here? What's the matter?" Zhao Laowen said to the two of them.
"Uncle, let's see if you still won't give in," Zhao Chunming said jokingly when he saw Zhao Laowen.
"It's almost the Chinese New Year. If you don't work at home and come to me, something must have happened. Tell me what it is?" Zhao Laowen said firmly with an "I've seen through you" expression on his face.
"Hey, I still can't hide it from you. Let my brother tell you." Zhao Chunming said to Zhao Laowen.
"Uncle, I'm here to invite you to our house. Isn't it that Huang Maozi from before is going to be killed? I'm inviting you to eat the butchered vegetables." Zhang Peng said with a smile.
"So this is what happened. We have to get over it. We have food and rice to eat here. If we don't get over it, we are stupid." Zhao Laowen heard Zhang Peng's words and said with a smile.
"Yes. Are you coming with us now, or will you go over later? Is there nothing going on at home?" Zhang Peng also asked.
"If anything happens at home, I'll take care of it. You go ahead and I'll come over in a while." Zhao Laowen said.
"Then uncle, let's wait for you for a while. Anyway, it's not too late. If you have any busy work, tell us and we will help you." Zhang Peng said to Zhao Laowen.
"It's nothing, I'm just burning the kang, and the stove went out last night. I have to light it. Otherwise, the room will turn into an ice cellar before I come back," Zhao Laowen said jokingly.<
/p>
"That's it. You told me earlier, uncle. Isn't this just a casual matter?" Zhao Chunming said with a smile after hearing this.
Then the two of them followed Zhao Laowen into the house and started helping.
