Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 286 Kill the New Year Pig
Wu Meng wandered around in the shop, originally he was quite happy after the blind date, but now he showed a trace of sadness on his face.

When the second brother came over, he smiled wryly and said, "Why do I feel like I don't have anything to buy?"

Wu Hao looked at the surrounding counters and had the same thought, he had a similar experience before, took a deep breath and said.

"You can't afford the expensive ones, but you can find the cheap ones at home."

When I am poor, I look forward to the New Year, because there are delicious foods, especially for children, and they will be happy when they get the New Year's money.

After getting rich, every day is no different from Chinese New Year, the children are not so happy, and the happy atmosphere at home is less.

In fact, apart from being poor, many things are better than being rich in the future.

For example, pork is delicious, rice and white noodles are delicious, sweet sticks are delicious, and even wine is better than later.

To be truly rich is definitely not a high-rise building, but a spiritual outlook. At this time, people are tired, but they can laugh.

People in the future will be more tired, but I really can't laugh.

Wu Hao felt that he was both rich and poor, so he looked at the front counter on the left, and his second uncle and his wife glanced at their clothes as they passed by.

The fabrics are still valuable in recent years, but the couple have money but can’t buy them, and the family is shutting down the greenhouse and causing famine, which is quite embarrassing.

If he is rich, he will also cause famine, but he can't pass the year, so he and Wu Meng are separated to choose new year's goods.

First buy ten packs of cigarettes, not only Yingchun cigarettes, but also other brands of cigarettes, the most expensive ones are no more than two yuan.

This kind of cigarettes, which cost one or two cents a pack, is enough to entertain ordinary guests.

Most people in the countryside only smoke dry tobacco, and some places in the Northeast call it Laohan, and there are also called "Hatou".

Take a sip is really hot, breath is really spicy.

Take a big breath, it is easy to get confused.

He doesn't smoke often, and he really can't enjoy dry tobacco.

Carrying the cloth bag for cigarettes, he went to the side counter to buy washing powder and soap, put these things in the car, and took a few woven bags into the store for a walk.

I bought Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, firecrackers and so on, and bought two sacks of burning paper. Now that my family is rich, I have to give more money to my ancestors.

It doesn't matter if you put these things in the car, and you can't offend him by stealing these things, and the vendors on the opposite side will help you.

When I went back to the store, I felt that I still had to buy clothes. After all, it was a new year and new weather, so I should change into new clothes.

He often comes to buy things, and most of the salespersons know him. Today, he doesn't buy much of everything, and he doesn't need to give tickets.

Wu Hao still remembers that when he came to sell rabbit skins last year to negotiate the price, the leaders didn't come out, but now he only needs to make big purchases.

The leader will take the initiative to say hello, and will send a salesperson to accompany him. If it is a simple hunter, if he wants to do this, unless he makes a lot of money, he must be very familiar with the leader.

He didn't buy much today, so he refused the leader's kindness and walked around by himself.

The uncle who was selling frozen pears in front of him was the same uncle who greeted him and asked, "How much did you buy this year?"

Wu Hao thought for a while and said, "A woven bag like frozen pears and big persimmons."

I usually buy some food at home, but now I buy more during the Chinese New Year, and I have to give half of it as a gift.

The aunt selling bags next to her asked, "Why didn't you bring your sister here?"

"I didn't take her when I came out to do errands. She won't come to the village this year." Wu Hao explained with a smile: "Actually, as long as my sister has something delicious and fun, she doesn't mind going out."

"Is there any child who doesn't like to go out to play?" After the aunt finished speaking, she and the little daughter-in-law selling roasted seeds and nuts on the opposite side showed disappointment.

They were quite boring when they were selling goods. Last year, the four-year-old girl was quite funny. I haven't seen her for a year, and I still think about it.

Wu Hao didn't explain too much, it wasn't that he didn't receive it, it was that the little girl really didn't think about coming, and didn't really think about the Chinese New Year.

Let the little daughter-in-law pack two bags of roasted seeds and nuts, and he will go and pack frozen pears with the uncle first, and send these things to the car, and the second uncle's house has also finished shopping.

After driving back to the village, he first helped Wu Meng unload his things, and then asked him to drive another car to buy some New Year's goods for the old man in a few days.

By the way, chatting with the girl, this can be regarded as a lover.

After unloading and driving home, Niu Si came out of the deer pen to help.

Wu Hao waved his hand and said, "I don't need you, fourth brother, you can kill five or six chickens, ducks and geese of each kind."

"Kill so many?" Mr. Niu Si studied chickens, ducks and geese, and felt a little distressed after killing too many at once.

Wu Hao said with a smile: "It's the Chinese New Year, and there are too many people in the family. If you kill less, you won't be able to eat enough."

"I'm afraid you won't be too busy next year when I raise more and pick up birds' eggs to hatch."

In winter in Northeast China, there is a large natural refrigerator outside. During the busy days of Chinese New Year, chickens, ducks and geese are killed in advance and frozen outside, and then stewed directly in the house during the Chinese New Year.

"Okay." Niu Si nodded, the chickens, ducks and geese don't belong to his family, so they can be killed if they are asked.

Wu Hao unloads the car by himself, and when he finishes his work, the food in the house will be ready, and the animals will be fed, so he can eat with peace of mind.

The next morning, Yu Zhanfeng entered the house and said, "I'm going to let the militiamen go hunting in winter and buy some meat for the Chinese New Year. Do you want to go?"

Wu Hao first got to know the specific arrangements, and then shook his head. He didn't hunt much this winter, and he had two rounds of hunting in the village.

The last time was a month ago, and this time more than a dozen villages participated together, entering the mountain for fifty or sixty miles, surrounded by a fan.

More than a dozen villages went to more than 100 guns, and the fifty or sixty miles to the south and west of the township were exhausted by them, and there was basically no prey.

After the animals were scared away by the gunshots, it took many days to come back, and the rest were small animals like rabbits.

The villagers mainly hunted wild boars and other animals. He didn't want to make a fuss, so he wrote poems and novels at home.

This time, a collection of poems should be published after finishing writing. The novel only has a few hundred thousand words. He wants to finish the book before the year and publish it together with the collection of poems in the next year.

He couldn't sit still after not going out for three days. After lunch, he wanted to go to the shed to do some work. As soon as he left the house, he saw his mother holding a piece of pork in her hand.

Gao Lijuan walked to the door from the west and said, "The militiamen have killed several wild boars this time, and each family can share more than ten catties of meat."

"Our family is out of pork, and a dime seems to be not enough to eat during the Chinese New Year."

There is a lot of venison in the house, but there is too little oil and water. She is afraid that she will not be able to eat it, so she will share some. Most of the bear meat is oily.

If you don't eat some butchered pig stew during the Chinese New Year, you always feel that there is something wrong with it.

"choked choked~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Hao looked outside the west gate and smiled. The forests in the south and west were hustled by militiamen.

There are forests to the north, I wanted to go for a walk in the mountains, but there was a white pig strolling on the road to the west.

Domestic pigs often run out of the pen, they will bite the wooden fence, and they will pick a place to bite, and sometimes they can push the fence open.

This white pig weighed more than 170 kilograms. Standing at the door and looking north to the pigsty, he wanted to come in. He didn't know whose family this pig belonged to.

Nine dogs came out of the nest. They could distinguish between domestic pigs and wild boars, and they did not rush to bite.

Another "dog" in the yard got on, and the silly roe deer rushed to the door and raised its head and barked "Wow, woof, woof~".

It is estimated that it can't tell what it is.

Domestic pigs can't outrun wild boars, but when it comes to biting, they don't hesitate at all. Sometimes wild boars are not their opponents.

This kind of domestic pig that runs out of the pen has a bad temper, and occasionally bites people, and when it sees silly roe deer running to the side, it screams.

It raised its head and said "Phen'er", opened its mouth wide and rushed forward.

Wild boars are arch animals and domestic pigs are biting animals.

As for the silly roe deer, according to the Northeast dialect, it is a fake bear's hand, a thing that bullies the soft and fears the hard.

When I saw the pig rushing over, I was scared, turned around and ran. It couldn't run a domestic pig in a short distance, and it was about to be bitten.

The white hair on the back of its butt exploded in fright, and it barked at the nine dogs, and it also knew to ask for help.

"Don't go!" Wu Hao told the dogs not to let them go, the pig's ears must not be damaged by the dogs.

It's a good thing to wait for the pig to bite the stupid roe deer. Who makes it always scream.

At this time Mr. Er ran out from the backyard, Da Zhang Luo behind him recognized the pig when he saw it, and said, "This is my family's."

"Catch it first!" Wu Hao saw that the silly roe deer was bitten, so he ran over and started catching pigs.

As long as you avoid the head of the domestic pig, it doesn't urinate much. Humans catching pigs are similar to dogs hunting them. He catches up with the pig's tail with both hands.

Grabbing the tail is not the same as a dog biting the basket. It is not the kind of bone-piercing pain. The white pig didn't stop, but ran forward with all its strength.

Wu Hao propped his feet on the ground and dragged back, the white pig turned around and turned back to bite, Da Zhang ran over and squeezed his right ear.

The white pig turned its head and opened its mouth and ran towards him. Da Zhang didn't let go, and pulled the pig's ears in circles.

Mr. Er had bad legs and ran slowly, Wu Hao let go of the dog who wanted to help, and took two steps forward to the left side of the pig's head.

"Made! You're used to it!" Cursing, he hugged the pig's head with his right arm, and pushed the white pig to the ground with one kick.

He has nearly 170 catties of strength. The white pig is not as strong as the wild boar, only weighing more than [-] catties. If he is in a hurry, he can lift it up and throw it to death.

He Dazhang pressed the white pig, and said, "I'll give you 200 yuan, kill it and eat it for the Chinese New Year."

Da Zhang thought for a while and said, "Give one hundred, and give me half, lest I kill again during the Chinese New Year."

It's better for two families to kill a pig, and half a piece of pork is enough for Chinese New Year. Wu Hao looked at Mr. Er and said, "Take the knife."

"Okay!" Mr. Er promised and ran into the house.

Gao Lijuan didn't care about her son's spending money, and followed her into the house to get a basin for pig's blood.

Wu Weiguo and Niu Si were working in a nearby shed when they heard a pig meowing in the yard. When they came back and saw the two of them holding down the pig, they ran over to help hold it down.

It is very easy for the five gentlemen to kill a pig. After the bloodletting, pour boiling water to scrape the pig's hair, and then open it and fill it with blood sausage.

After decomposing the pork, what we eat at night is pig stew.

On the 26th, Wu Hao drove to the village to mail letters.

Wu Weiguo posted Spring Festival couplets at home, and two professors and three students happily helped.

The five of them go home too far, and the current train may stop for five or six hours at each stop.

It takes a lot of time to back up the passenger car, and it takes many days to go home and come back. Wu Weiguo and his father persuaded several times before they let a few people stay for the New Year.

The six of them happily posted Spring Festival couplets, and there was a kid sitting in a pony carriage in the yard.

The shaft of the car is close to the ground, so there is no need for a silly roe deer to pull it, and the little bean bag is not afraid of the cold, so I sit on it and turn my head to read the Spring Festival couplets and sigh.

As she grows older, she will forget about her childhood, and she still has a lot of memories of last year.

Slowly frowning, his little face was full of unhappiness.

Professor Xu was very fond of the little girl, so he noticed her expression and asked, "What are you worried about when it's New Year's Eve?"

She waved her hand like a little adult, lowered her head and said, "Don't mention it!"

No one knows from whom she learned this phrase.
