[Congratulations to the player for completing the random task and rewarding god-level painting skills! 】

Well!
good stuff!
Once this kind of skill has the words of god level, it can basically be regarded as the strongest on the planet, and there are many things contained in the painting technique.

Ink painting, sketching, comics, oil painting, etc., can be easily obtained when you travel around.

Exactly...

He had thought about decorating the exterior wall before, and at first he thought of using ivy or roses, but now it seems that he can paint murals on the pure white wall first!
The matter of the Cao family was a small twist, and there must be people who gossip about it later, but at least the major issues in life have been resolved, and from the perspective of the young couple, it is obvious that this matter does not belong to the two children.

In this case, as long as the man's family is stronger and the standard of living rises, it will be difficult for the mother's family to intervene.

……

Entering the end of the twelfth lunar month, the flavor of the New Year in Lingqu Village is even stronger.

There is a temple on the Beishan side. Zhou You was there when he was a child. According to the elders in the village, it originated from the earthquake 80 years ago. At that time, the village was hit by a disaster, and then Mr. Yin Yang invited him to build the temple and shape his body.

Every year from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the temple is more lively, cleaning, offering incense, and some businessmen who have made money outside come back to pay their vows.

Of course, the social fires that cannot be shaken every year during the Chinese New Year have also begun to toss.

The so-called Shehuo is a traditional folk celebration to celebrate the Spring Festival. It is mostly found in Northwest China, including high platforms, stilts, dragon dances, lion dances, Yangko and so on.

There are a total of ten communes in Lingqu Village, and almost every commune will get a corresponding communal fire.

Dragon and lion dancers, stilts pretending to be ugly, compared with the city, the folk customs are still very strong.

"I got in touch with you a few days ago. It's quite surprising to say that there is a classmate of ours named Yu Chaolong in my neighborhood. In addition, there is another classmate in the neighborhood next door. His wife is actually my junior high school classmate..."

It's not the end of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still a lot of people getting married, but Lingqu Village is gone. Life is ahead of schedule.

Of course, there is also another part of the reason. Now many people don't want to schedule such a tight schedule.

It's not good to put it at the end of the twelfth lunar month. First, it's cold, and second, there are many people. At the end of the year, there are really many things in every household.

For example, many young Xiaohuo in the village have to go to the club to start rehearsing the club fire, or buy new year's goods and so on.

Of course, Zhou You also gave himself a holiday.

In the past year, he didn't know how many seats he missed. According to Xu Jie, he couldn't understand why Zhou You was so keen on burning seats. Of course, he also asked himself, saying that maybe this is love!
But these days are also free, especially Xu Jie, after all, it is the end of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. He sent his girlfriend back to Suzhou City, but he often runs to Zhou You.

At this time, Zhou You, Yang Qingning and Xu Jie were sitting around the stove, while Xiao Qinghe was watching TV.

Xu Jie asked: "After you came back, you didn't contact your classmates, did you?"

classmates!
Zhou You was in a daze, but he really didn't. As for Xu Jie, they met by chance, and so did Yang Qingning. After he came back, he ran to several schools in order to let Xiao Qinghe go to school. When he finally chose a good school and paid for the registration, Yang Qingning recognized him. Out.

After all, he is his daughter's teacher, so Zhou You was very polite at the beginning, but slowly, it became what it is now!

"How about meeting together in two days? I ran into Yu Chaolong in the community a few days ago, and said that some classmates in the city often come out to sit and sit!"

Zhou You was silent for a moment, in fact, he didn't really want to have too many negotiations with the original owner's former classmates and friends, otherwise he would contact him after he came back.

but……

Now that I think about it, it is still necessary to make contact. I can't always be people from all over the world. On the contrary, there are not many local people in Long City.

"Alright, call the village and see if they come. If it's not convenient, go to the city!"

"Yes, I'll contact you!"

Xu Jie is overjoyed!

Whether it is emotionally or socially, or he hopes to connect with his former classmates, they are all locals after all. Of course, even classmates are screened.

In the evening, Xu Jie excitedly ran over to contact Zhou You and told him that the day after tomorrow was Saturday, so he had time!

Zhou Youdao: "That's just right, Saturday is the new year, and there is a pig-killing feast in the village!"

Xu Jie's eyes lit up: "Yes, tsk, it's just in time!"

Pig slaughter feast!

In fact, it is to kill pigs. This is a rural custom. Maybe it is because there are fewer farmers in the village, so more and more pigs, chickens and ducks are raised. After all, I raise a pig myself and accompany it from childhood to adulthood. For a lifetime, eat with confidence!

Two days ago, I met many villagers along the way, and they all invited Zhou Youxiaonian to eat pork at his house.

In a blink of an eye, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is a new year!
From time to time in the village, 'chirp-boom! ', even if a child suddenly looks at you and covers your ears, you can only run fast, because you don't know where the little villain threw the cannon beside you.

There are a lot of people raising new year pigs this year. According to rough calculations before Zhou You, there are at least nearly [-] companies. Of course, there are four in this agency just because of Zhou You!
Old Uncle Wang's house asked Zhiqiang to invite Zhou You early in the morning, so Xu Jie and Yang Qingning were left to greet the classmates first, and he went to Old Uncle Wang's house to have a look first.

The population composition of Lingqu Village is actually quite complicated, which can be seen from the surnames. It is generally like some rural areas, especially the villages with surnames in the front. Generally, a village has the same surname. Counting up to two or three generations, they are all related. Therefore.

However, Lingqu Village is obviously more complicated.

Li, Wang, Xie, Zhou, Gao, Yu...

However, between people with the same surname, counting up to two or three generations, they are all related.

For example, at Old Uncle Wang’s house, most of the people who come to slaughter pigs today are surnamed Wang.

"Zhou You is here, come quickly!"

"This way, this way!"

Zhou You is now the big treasure in the village, and there are quite a few people who want to invite Zhou You to eat pig-killing rice.

But when Zhou You first came in, he saw a group of people chasing the big black pig running in the yard, jumping like chickens and dogs, which made him want to laugh.

……

"Tsk, Zhou You, this was the class grass of our class back then, not just the school grass, but there was no such concept at that time!"

"Yeah, but this guy didn't contact Mimi when he came back quietly, and he will be punished later!"

"By the way... Zhou You is back, what does Gong Lina think?"

"How can you see it, just stand and watch!" The girl who was named looked at the car window and didn't know what to think.

The seven-seater car is full!
Soon after arriving at Lingqu Village, Yu Chaolong suddenly slapped his thigh: "I said, why is this Lingqu Village so familiar? I remembered that I had received a document before, which was the development plan of Lingqu Village! "

Yu Chaolong's unit happens to manage this aspect. In November this year, there was a meeting for this.

"Oh, did Lingqu Village discover any pillar products? Can the city unit hold a meeting for this?"

"I don't know the details!"

Today's weather is good, the sun is big, and it's not that cold. It's fine to wear thermal underwear and a slightly thicker coat.

I saw Zhouyou's B&B from afar, Xu Jie pointed it out, and when he got to the yard, Ma Yuning clicked his tongue and said, "It's awesome, you really will enjoy it!"

"Yeah, if we knew that Zhou You had such a homestay, we would have come here to play with him!"

These classmates who stayed in Long City basically have to come out three or four times a month to drink tea, or play mahjong, or a few boys to drink and drink.

But today, apart from Xu Jie, four men and two women came. Of course, Xu Jie told them the general situation of Zhou You.

Such as divorce and children.

After all, when old classmates meet each other now, the first thing they ask is whether they are married or not.

And among these four men and two women, only two of them were married, and after all, they were only 25 or [-] years old. In this day and age, those who have gone to college generally get married late!

Yang Qingning knew people were coming, so when she heard people's voices, she came out with tea to say hello. Xiao Qinghe is obviously a social cow who likes to be lively. When she saw so many people who were about the same age as her father, she immediately went to the Hengting Hall Inside jumped up.

"Xiao Qinghe, Zhou You's daughter, this is Yang Qingning, our school girl!"

They are all from the same school, so they are naturally close, but Yang Qingning's relationship with Zhou You is obviously closer than them, so Gong Lina and Wang Yan took a few more glances.

"Stop busy, we're all on our own, sit down and chat first!"

But just as the few people were chatting, people from the village came in one after another!
"Is Brother Zhou there?"

"Ah, I'm not here. My grandfather invited him to eat at home. This is my fresh pork!"

"Is Brother Zhou there?"

"Ah, I'm not here. My dad also said to invite him to eat at home. Then this is pork from Xinxian County in my home. Give Brother Zhou a taste!"

In less than an hour, there were four or five waves of people coming here intermittently.

Ma Yuning looked in amazement: "It seems that the popularity of Zhou You in the village is very good!"

Today, Xiaonian and the others naturally know that although they always say that the folk customs are simple, but... like Zhou You, it is obvious that the simple folk customs cannot be explained clearly.

"Of course, those who roam around the village are really popular!"

Regarding Zhou You's information, he only said a little superficially, and he didn't say anything more. Anyway, when the time comes to meet, what to say and what not to say, Zhou You can figure it out.

"How about going around?"

"You want to find Zhou You!"

Xu Jie looked at Yang Qingning, Yang Qingning said: "He should be at Old Uncle Wang's house right now, let's go there together!" Then he teased Xiao Qinghe: "Does Xiao Qinghe dare to watch a pig being slaughtered?"

Xiao Qinghe said: "Why kill pigs!"

Yang Qingning smiled and said, "Because pigs are delicious!"

Xiao Qinghe: "That should be killed!"

Yang Qingning: ...

A group of people walked towards Uncle Wang's house, which was actually not far away, less than 5 minutes' walk.

When I came here, I saw that a deep hole had been dug in front of Uncle Wang's house, and a shelf was also set up!
This rack is used to hang up dead pigs for decomposition, but the pigs haven't been put on the rack yet, obviously they haven't been killed yet!
"Tsk, I haven't seen a pig slaughtered before!"

"I used to watch it in the slaughterhouse when I was a child, but every time I was scared!"

Just as he was talking, he heard the cry of a pig coming from the yard, and then he saw several young and strong men coming out grabbing a big black pig, and then pressing it on top of the bellows!

At this time, everyone also noticed a group of people at the door, which were relatively unfamiliar, but after seeing Yang Qingning, Xiao Qinghe, and Xu Jie, everyone also understood that this might be a traveling guest.

At this time, Zhou You also happened to come out of the yard with a group of people.

When Gong Lina saw Zhou You, her heart skipped a beat and she almost suffocated.

Of course, she wasn't the only one who suffocated, her classmate and friend Xiong Hui also gasped.

"Fuck, travel around?"

"Okay, this guy..."

"Damn, why do some people get more handsome the longer they grow?"

Yu Chaolong and Ma Yuning were also shocked. To be honest, if they hadn't made an appointment to meet today, and they came to Lingqu Village and met in the city, they would not have dared to admit it.

That tall and straight figure, that slender legs, that amazing beauty, that outstanding temperament...

Good guy, you look so handsome in a windbreaker casually, are you a star who came out of a painting?
It's a foul, someone is smiling!

Zhou You was thinking about going up to butcher the pigs, but suddenly he noticed Xu Jie and Yang Qingning, especially Xiao Qinghe, who had already run towards Zhou You.

"father!"

"Hey, good!"

Holding Xiao Qinghe by the hand, Zhou You walked over.

Before he could say hello, Ma Yuning came up to greet him, staring straight at Zhou You with a pair of eyes: "Fuck, Zhou You, what are you eating, why do you grow more handsome!"

Zhou You was indeed more handsome in high school, but... from now, the gap is not small.

The way it is now... actually makes people feel ashamed, but also a little proud?

Self-ashamedness is naturally a result of being slapped for appearance, as for pride...

Damn, my old horse actually has a classmate with such good looks!
This sense of honor is like although I am not the richest man, but I know the richest man!

"No way, it's as long as you want!" Zhou You laughed, staring at Ma Yuning, then at other people, and said: "Ma Yuning, Yu Chaolong, Guo Zhikai, Wang Fei, Gong Lina, Xiong Hui!"

I said hello one by one, but there are still some changes, but after all, they are high school classmates, and many of them have been stereotyped for a long time, especially male classmates, unless they gain weight, there is almost no big change!
As for the two female classmates, they have changed a lot. If they met on the street, they might not be able to recognize them.

It is said that women's colleges have undergone eighteen changes, and it is only a matter of graduating from high school. It has been almost seven or eight years since I was 25 and six, not to mention that I have learned beauty makeup. I really dare not admit it with a little makeup!

As long as you like!

Listen, is this called human talk?

Although I was a little lucky to be called by names one by one, I was still upset, what should I do!
After a simple understanding, Zhou You knew that several students were also shining in various departments!
Among them, Gong Lina is in the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xiong Hui is in the Justice Bureau, Yu Chaolong is in the Finance Bureau, Ma Yuning is in the Transportation Bureau, Guo Zhikai is in the Public Security Bureau, and Wang Fei is in the Personnel Bureau!

Good guy, a group of people who eat the national grain, considering that Xu Jie has already decided to join the Agricultural Bureau, it can really be said that half of the city unit has come!

and……

Don't look at some units missing, such as education bureaus, hospitals, etc., but in fact, the relationship between this group of people can cover almost everything!
And what a person needs in his life is nothing more than education, medical care, and a little more, that is, police and traffic!
To put it bluntly, if Zhou You is an ordinary person and builds a good relationship with these classmates, Long City is basically like a fish in water!
"Brilliant!"

Zhou You had nothing to say, and the pig over there had already started to tear his heart.

Zhou You blocked Xiao Qinghe's eyes, but was pulled away by Xiao Qinghe: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, this big black pig is so ugly!"

Zhou You smiled lightly: "Would you like to eat later!"

"want!"

Well, if you say you are ugly, you still have to eat, the big black pig will not die with peace in his eyes!

Old Uncle Wang's technique was not very subtle, the pig struggled a lot with this knife, which is normal, there are a lot of people who kill pigs in Lingqu Village today, those who know how to kill pigs have been invited away long ago, and Uncle Wang used to Although he has killed pigs, he hasn't done so for several years.

The knife was obviously out of proportion and missed the heart.

"You are pulling the child!"

Seeing the big black pig struggling and screaming miserably, the others couldn't hold it anymore.

Zhou You couldn't stand it anymore, gave the child to Xiao Qinghe, and then passed.

"Where is Zhou You? Want to help?"

Yu Chaolong thought that Zhou You was going to help hold down the big black pig, and thought that the young and strong guys on their side might also go there, but then he saw Zhou You go over and say a few words, and then took the knife , The next moment, a knife stabbed directly into the wound.

The big black pig screamed twice, stopped struggling, and only twitched slightly, and the knife was tilted, and a large amount of pig blood flowed into the washbasin along the knife!
Yu Chaolong: ...

Ma Yuning: ...

Guo Zhikai: ...

Gong Lina: ...

Fuck it, cowhide!
The old Uncle Wang's side also breathed a sigh of relief, Zhiqiang couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhou You, you are too good!"

"Yes, yes, with this knife, the pig loses all its energy, it's too fast!"

"Brother, you are getting old, you can't do it anymore, look at other people traveling around!"

Old Uncle Wang coughed in embarrassment, blushing a little: "Go, go, go, my hands are cold!"

But Zhou You's knife was really powerful, it pierced his heart, blood poured out, the big black pig couldn't cry out immediately, and the blood was drained clean.

No, it's already a washbasin in a while!
You know, butchering pigs and bleeding them is a technical job. If the blood is drained clean, the meat tastes good too!
"Okay, you can prepare hot water!"

Drain the pig's blood, and then throw the pig directly into the pit that has been dug before!

Of course, the pit has been covered with a layer of plastic sheeting before, this is to prevent water seepage, that is, waterproof!
The big black pig weighed about 400 kilograms, and it took a few people to lift it. Zhiqiang and the others pulled the pig's legs and put the pig directly into the pit.

Then the woman began to hold the washbasin, filled it with boiling water, and poured it directly into the puddle!

This step is called scalding pig hair!
When the water is submerged by more than half of the pig, everyone starts to pluck the pig hairs. Because the hot water has scalded the pig hairs, the pig hairs are easy to remove. If some are not easy to come off, everyone will rub them with a whetstone!
"Oh, why did it turn white!"

It was the first time for Xiao Qinghe to see a butchered pig, and she was surprised to see the black pig turn white.

"Because I lost my hair!"

Xiao Qinghe pouted: "It tastes even better!"

Zhou You: ...

"Good guy, it's the first time I've seen it. I thought the skin of this thing was black!" Yu Chaolong scratched his head!
Now the pigs in slaughterhouses are mostly white pigs, and when you buy meat, most of them are white skin, so when you see black pigs, you think the skin is black, but you don’t know that the pig hair is also white!
