Back in Jiudao, Lan San parked the helicopter on the village road not far from Lejia House. There was a floor in front of the village office building, but because there were buildings on all sides, the return wind in winter was strong, making it inconvenient for the helicopter to take off and land.
There is not much work in the countryside in winter, there are basically no tractors or three-wheeled vehicles coming and going, and it is not a problem for a helicopter to park on the village road.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, went to collect firewood, Li Zhao was teaching his junior brother, and Mr. Yi Laoyan went downstairs to help move things.
When Le's father Zhou Qiufeng came back from collecting firewood, he knew that his little cotton-padded jacket was back when he saw the iron bird. He piled the firewood in the backyard. When he got home, he found that the rice was ready and the fish was stewed in the pot. He was so happy that he was walking with joy.
Luo Ban knew that Xiao Le was coming during class. He originally went back to the dormitory building after class, but soon after he found out that the helicopter had left again, he did not go back and went home after school at noon.
He ran home and heard that Xiao Le had given him two boxes. He didn't even bother to drink. He looked quickly and opened the lighter box first. He saw rolls of paper. If there was an east wind, a piece of paper would come out.
The old face that already had nasolabial folds instantly blossomed.
When my wife opened the box, there was no sound. Mrs. Luo went over to see what treasure it was. When she saw the paper tube, she was so happy that she asked, "Is it a collection of test papers?"
"Yes!" Roban nodded heavily, even if it was just one word, it was full of pride and joy.
He didn't even bother to eat. He took the paper tube with the math note on it, untied the rope, and eagerly looked at the question types and studied the difficulty level.
Mrs. Luo also knew the importance of it and didn't rush her. It wasn't until her husband finished reading a scroll that she went to reheat the dishes, urged her husband to eat, and then ignored him.
Luo Ban briefly read a few more test papers, rolled them up again, took the box back to the room and hid it, and waited until class in the afternoon before quietly running to find the principal.
The two people who had met secretly arrested the vice principal at night. The three of them went to the office in the middle of the night to work overtime to copy the test papers. They all moved back to Luo Ban's house and hid them tightly without revealing anything.
Xiaole’s new test question set must be kept tightly until she comes back after the Chinese New Year, and then use it for the students who are taking the exam in the third year of high school.
Of course, Le Xiao's classmate didn't know that Luo Ban and the principal would act like thieves in the middle of the night to cover up the problem. Her parents didn't allow her to work, so she had to climb to the second floor to draw drawings.
Brother Zhou was digging the ground. When he came home at noon, he saw the helicopter parked on the road and knew that Xiao Lele was back. He didn't go to visit him. He wanted to wait until the evening. In the afternoon, his brother-in-law told him that he would go to Lejia to help kill pigs tomorrow. He also wanted to go there in the evening.
I didn’t go to Le’s house to visit.
Le's father called the two brothers. On the 26th, Liu Lu, Chen Dalian and others had breakfast and went to Le's house with their mothers-in-law. All the elderly people from each family were also present.
Boss Wu and his family arrived a little later, before eight o'clock. Village Chief Zhou went to the village committee to order a meal, and also went to Lejia to help kill the pigs.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, originally left two sheep, one male and one female. The ewe gave birth to three babies. A family in the village across the street wanted to raise sheep, so they mixed the two large sheep and three small lambs raised by Le's family.
Breeding sheep.
The sheep were sold, and Le's father knew that his cubs would be back on New Year's Day, so he ordered the suckling pigs in advance, brought them back in the morning, and slaughtered them together.
A total of four pigs were slaughtered, a large fat pig weighing over 300 kilograms, a medium pig weighing over 200 kilograms, and two suckling piglets that were two months old.
The big pigs are cut up and put into fresh-keeping boxes in separate categories and stored in the refrigerator, so that they can be eaten at any time. The small suckling pigs are pickled after being packed and roasted in the afternoon.
Because there were so many people, Zhang Laosan and several other elderly people dug up konjac and ground the pulp to make konjac tofu.
The women first helped to kill a dozen chickens and ducks, processed them and marinated them in Xiao Lele's condiments. After the pigs were killed, they helped to scald and shave them, separate the internal organs, and first process and clean the pig's small intestines.
Once it's clean, fill it with blood sausage.
Classmate Le only mixed the ingredients, and she did not need to do other tasks. When walking around, she found that Grandma Zhou never dared to look at her. She was obviously weird, so she pretended not to notice.
After the middle-aged men and women had processed the pork and cleaned the floor, they processed the pig head, stewed the pig head meat, minced the stuffing to make sausages, and made pork belly.
That day is the 26th, Jiudaowu Day.
Aunt Pa went to catch a show and listened to a lot of gossip. She returned to the village from the street, threw her things at home, and went to Lejia. By then she had nothing to help with, so she sat in the main room with the elderly and chatted.
After chatting for a while, they gossiped mysteriously: "Today, a neighbor of Li Xiaoyan's family came to the market and heard that Sister Meng fell down a few days ago and could no longer get out of bed. She also coughed up blood.
I also heard that grandma Li Xiaoyan didn’t take care of Mrs. Meng at all after she couldn’t work. With Mrs. Meng’s failure, it’s hard to say whether she can survive this month.”
Grandma Zhou Man, Grandma Zhang and others were stunned. Is Sister Meng dying soon?
Grandma Zhou Man sighed: "Well, she probably did something wrong in her previous life and owed it to the Li family. She is here to repay that family's debt in this life."
"No, I have worked hard for the Li family for most of my life, and still have to take care of him when he is about to die. I really don't know how many lifetimes of debt I owe."
Liu Luma and Grandma Zhang San also wholeheartedly agreed. They felt that Sister Meng might have owed the Li family eight lifetimes of blood debt, otherwise she would not be so unlucky.
Grandma Zhou heard that Meng's wife might be dying, and her heart skipped a beat. Meng's sister-in-law and the Li family's grandson had offended Lele, so the Li family's grandson and grandson became the target of thousands of people. Meng's sister-in-law had no way to seek medical treatment when she was sick, and the three of them had no luck again.
.
Zhou Chunmei also... is not liked by Lele. Since leaving the Zhou family, Zhou Chunmei has not had good luck.
Zhang Jing, Wu Lingling and her mother-in-law provoked Lele and ended up like a bereaved dog. The Huang family in Shishi offended Lele to death, and they ended up dead and sick. The century-old family collapsed at the drop of a hat.
And Chen Wu, who belongs to the Zhang family, went to jail when he was old. Even if he comes back in the future, his reputation will be ruined.
To put it into detail, no one who was against Lele or had a grudge against Lele would end well.
Zhou Chunmei also offended Lele. If she helped Zhou Chunmei and angered Lele, would she also... not end well?
Grandma Zhou was having random thoughts in her mind, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Grandma Zhouman said a few words to the others, and then they revealed the story. They stopped talking endlessly about the Li family’s ancestors and grandchildren, and talked about getting married.
Old Mrs. Wu happily mentioned: "Last time I went to Shangzhuang to go shopping, I saw Xiao Zhang, who was wearing sackcloth and mourning for Lele's aunt, and a woman with short hair close to her ears. Was Xiao Zhang there?
Are you trying to be friends?"
"That's what happened," Zhang San's grandma admitted generously: "Lele said that Zhang Ke was not a person with a bad conscience and had not done anything bad. She also sincerely apologized and admitted her mistake. Lele also forgave Zhang Ke.
.
The Zhang family is not a thing, and they are going to eat free royal food. The elders of the Zhang family cannot just let Zhang Ke go on alone. They proposed a marriage to Zhang Luo. If there are no accidents, they should be settled before the year.
"
Mother Liu Lum and Grandma Zhou Man also chimed in and said that Zhang Ke’s partner looked like someone who lived a good life. Mrs. Wu knew that Grandma Zhou Man and the others were also insiders, so she smiled and congratulated Grandma Zhang San: “Your family
My nephew will settle down before the end of the year, so you, the aunt, will have a wedding party."
Grandma Zhang San happily accepted the congratulations. If Zhang Ke had a mother-in-law, the elderly Zhang family would no longer have to worry about Zhang Ke, which would save them a lot of worry.
The old people chatted about everything, their parents were short-lived, and the time passed by in idleness.
At noon, five tables were seated.
The meat from home-raised pigs is delicious, and the traditional braised pig head meat is even more fragrant.
There is no farm work in winter, and there is no urgent work in Boss Wu's workshop. Both men and women drink, making it very lively.
When Le was full, he left the show first, took out the marinated suckling pig, drained the juice, spread seasoning and honey on it, and put it on the stove to roast.
The people who ate pig head meat at Lejia had a meal until two o'clock in the afternoon. They cleaned up the main room, and because they had nothing to do at home, they gnashed their teeth in Lejia.
Roca opposes gambling, so people who play in Roca do not play cards or mahjong. They set up tables, put on covers, sit around the kotatsu, crack melon seeds, eat fruits, and chat. The atmosphere is very good.
At around four o'clock, the first roasted suckling pig was taken off the shelves.
The suckling pig is roasted brightly, with golden skin, fragrant on the outside and crispy on the inside.
The men, women, and children, who were so greedy after smelling the aroma, swallowed so much saliva that when the little boy brought the cut and plated barbecue, no one was polite and started to chop it into pieces.
A roast suckling pig was devoured.
Everyone who had satiated their appetites felt a little embarrassed. The barbecue was so fragrant that they actually finished eating a pig!
Everyone thought that they should go home, and if they sat down, they might have to save dinner.
When they wanted to leave, they saw the little boy carrying two boxes from the south room on the first floor and sitting at the table with the old ladies with a smile on his face.
The first box was opened, and there was a box of wide gold bracelets, with a large ring and a small ring, forming a pair, one for men and one for women.
The second box contained silver bracelets with the same size rings.
Grandma Zhou Man and others were almost dazzled by the golden circle. They looked at the little boy in surprise, wondering what she wanted to do.
Le Yun took a pair of wide gold bracelets and gave them to Grandma Zhou Man: "Grandpa Man and Grandma Man have been protecting me since I was a child. They worry about me a lot. I don't have any good things. I only have one bracelet to honor my parents."
"Lele, you have paid so much tribute to us. We can't take this, so you can keep it for yourself." Grandma Zhou Man was not willing to accept it.
Village Chief Zhou also disagreed: "Lele, your father and I are brothers who kowtow together, and you are our niece and granddaughter. It is only natural for grandparents to take care of their grandchildren."
"I know that Grandpa Man is my father's biological brother. It is only natural for grandpas to take care of their grandchildren. Likewise, it is only natural for granddaughters to respect their grandparents. You protect me when I am young and you don't need me to provide for you in old age. What I honor you is mine.
Mind.
I asked someone to order this. It is engraved with the words "kindness and sincerity, longevity and longevity". You can keep it as a mascot and set an example for the future generations, so that they can know what it means to be kind to the elderly and to children and grandchildren.
Loyalty and filial piety means that parents and grandparents are unkind and children and grandchildren are unfilial. This is true from generation to generation. Fathers are kind and sons are filial. This is an unchanging tradition through the ages."
Le Yun untied the thread that tied the bracelet and put the women's bracelet on Grandma Zhou Man's right wrist. The bracelet can be enlarged or contracted, and can be worn on any wrist thickness.
Grandma Zhouman raised her hand, the bracelet was heavy.
"Okay, if Lele said so, just accept it." Village Chief Zhou was speechless. The little boy was making a fuss about filial piety. What else could he say?
Le Yun smiled and took the other one to Grandpa Zhou Man's left hand: "There are a pair of bracelets. The men's bracelet is engraved with honeysuckle, which represents kindness, and the woman's bracelet is engraved with pomegranate, which represents many children and blessings.
."
"So heavy? It must be half a catty, right?" Village Chief Zhou tried it, and the bracelet pressed against his hand.
"Grandpa Man can run and fly while carrying a bucket of water weighing thirty kilograms. You don't mind the weight, right?" Le Yun smiled and helped adjust the ring size of the bracelet.
"How can these be the same? The water is in a bucket, and this one is placed on the hand. It is so heavy. Wearing this every day will make your hands suffer." Village Chief Zhou shook it, lowered his hand and tried it, and kept shouting.
Too much pressure on your hands.
Cheng Wu and Zhang Laosan rolled their eyes.
Le Yun put on the bracelets for Grandpa Zhou Man and Grandma Zhou Man, and took another pair to Grandma Zhou: "Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou were worried about me when I was a child. Grandpa Zhou left early. Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou are one husband and wife. We are filial to each other."
The same goes for Grandma Zhou."
The little boy's smile was as bright as a flower. Grandma Zhou was so ashamed that she always wanted to find Lele and pull Zhou Chunmei around. Lele was still so kind-hearted and treated them so well, but she was never satisfied. She always cried about Zhou Chunmei.
The blood of the Zhou family wanted to help, but never thought whether Lele would be sad.
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to say "I'm sorry", but she opened her mouth but didn't say a word.
Grandma Zhou's reaction was a little strange. Le Yun guessed that something must have happened that she didn't know about, so she put the bracelet into Grandma Zhou's hand, then picked up a pair and gave it to her aunt.
Village Chief Zhou thought that Grandma Zhou was too moved, so no one paid much attention to Grandma Zhou's reaction.
Aunt Pa didn't refuse, and accepted it readily: "The old man said that every kindness he receives from others is repaid by a spring. Xiao Lele is no longer repaying the favor with a spring, but a river. Anyway, no matter how much nonsense you say, you will still end up
If you give me something, I won't be polite."
"I enjoy playing with my aunt and grandma. I like the straight-tempered nature of playing with my aunt and grandma the most." Le Yun bared her teeth: "If Grandpa Cheng Wu, Grandpa Zhang San, and the others push me around later, they want me to say a lot of good things before I accept it.
, I will never visit them again, and I will ignore them for at least half a year."
"Lele, I didn't offend you, why didn't you even go to my house?" Zhang Poluo shouted.
"Looking at the reaction of Grandma Zhang San and others, they took care of me at first, but now if they don't accept my gifts, I won't visit Uncle Zhang's house anymore."
Le Yun took a pair of bracelets and handed them to Grandma Zhang San without saying anything and grinning.
"Humph, you captured our army first, why don't we accept it?" Grandma Zhang San pretended to be angry and accepted the thank you gift from the little boy with a smile.
"Grandma Zhang San, just accept it. Because you old people worry about me, I am grateful in my heart. I will always remember this friendship. I am sending you a thank you gift to thank you for your kindness. You deserve it. You accept it."
, I feel relieved and everyone is happy.”
Grandma Zhang San was also happy. Le Yun suddenly felt in a good mood and gave a pair of gold bracelets to Grandma Liu Qi.
Liu Luma was not polite, she accepted the gift with a smile and put it in her pocket first.
With their example, Cheng Wu and Cheng Liu readily accepted the gold bracelets presented by Xiao Zai Zai.
