Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 33 The Proud Shen Qingrui
Shunzi's expression was very excited along the way, as happy as if he had shot a big wild boar himself.

The commune members I met on the road were all very curious about him, wondering what good things happened to this handsome boy, and why he was so happy.

"Mom, Mom, let me tell you something big!"

After Shunzi rushed to her yard, she yelled at her old lady who was washing vegetables.

Shunzi's mother threw the half-washed vegetables into the basket, "How many times have I taught you a lesson with your father, don't be surprised."

"Why don't you have a long memory? Do you really think that my father and I have a long life and want to scare us out of heart disease?"

"It's really a big deal."

Shunzi didn't care to argue with his mother, stopped and began to describe vividly, "Jichang beat a very big wild boar. There are so many..."

Speaking of this, he opened his arms and gestured: "Go and boil the water, he will come to our house to clean up the pigs in a while."

"A wild boar that big?"

Shunzi's mother was shocked by her son's description, "Sure, you wash the dishes for me, I will go into the house to get the pot, and I will set up a pot in the yard to boil water later."

After she finished speaking, she shook the vegetable washing water in her hands twice, turned around and entered the room, Shunzi rushed to catch up, and finished washing the vegetables in a rough manner.

After his mother brought out the big iron pot, the rack used to support the pot, and firewood and other things needed to scald the pig hair, Shunzi went up to his mother, set up the pot, went to the well to fetch a few large buckets of water, and filled the iron pot to the brim.

Butchering pigs in rural areas is a big deal. Regardless of wild boars and domestic pigs, as long as there is a mention of slaughtering pigs, it means that relatives and friends will join the battle.

It's easy for Xu Jichang today, all he needs is the help of Shunzi's family.Because he had already shot the wild boar to pieces in advance, so he didn't need to mobilize people to kill the pigs.

Not long after Shunzi, mother and son were busy, Xu Jichang brought Shen Qingrui to the gate of his yard with a heavy load of wild boar on his back.

Before entering the yard, Xu Jichang casually told Shen Qingrui that this was the home of the production team leader. Shen Qingrui nodded after hearing this, and entered the yard with him.

"Jichang, you've made a big fuss today, you beat such a big wild boar."

"Our Shunzi told me just now."

In the yard, Shunzi's mother saw Xu Jichang coming in, she added firewood to the pot, and said with a happy smile, "Shunzi, come quickly and help Jichang hang up the pig."

"No, I can do it by myself. Shunzi, go and get some more firewood. It seems that there is not enough firewood."

"okay."

Shunzi agreed and entered the house. After Xu Jichang explained to Shunzi's mother that Shen Qingrui was a new educated youth, he put the bag on the ground, then lifted the wild boar, and hung it on the pig killing rack that Shunzi's mother had just moved out.

The butcher rack is an essential tool for slaughtering. Its function is to hang the pig up in the air, and it can take care of both sides of the pig at the same time, avoiding the trouble of turning over and over when shedding hair and chopping pieces.

In later generations, iron racks are generally used to kill pigs in rural areas.It's just that materials are scarce in this era. Except for the two big iron hooks for the pig's hind legs, the rest of the shelf is made of wood.

Xu Jichang's movements when he hung the wild boar just now were done in one go, and the onlookers watched and applauded.

Pig slaughtering is a major event for the whole village to watch. As early as when Shunzi's house started to set up pots to boil water, people gradually gathered around and stopped to watch.

"This young man Jichang has incredible strength. This pig looks like it weighs [-] catties, so he can lift it up as soon as he is asked to lift it."

"Isn't it? It's like picking up a little chick. Who in the world can have such strength."

"The ancestors of the old Xu family have accumulated virtue...all the advantages are concentrated on this child Xu Jichang."

All the members were amazed.

At this moment, Shen Qingrui was standing in the yard looking at Xu Jichang, feeling very proud of him in her heart, and the corners of Cherry Xiaokou's mouth also raised.

When others praised Xu Jichang just now, Shen Qingrui unconsciously straightened her waist, feeling something hot surging in her heart.

If it wasn't for the public, Shen Qingrui really wanted to trot to Xu Jichang's side, put his arms around him, act like a baby to him, and then express his admiration to him.

Next to the butcher's rack, Shunzi was also grinning, chatting with the villagers while sharpening his knife.

It is a very proud thing to have a great brother, especially in the countryside.Here you can make capable friends, and when you go out to talk to people, you must be more confident, and your face will be bright.

This is especially true for Shunzi, the son of the team leader. He wants to prove that he is not relying on Lao Tzu, but relying on himself to make friends with such a powerful person as Xu Jichang.

Strong strength, recruiting workers into the city, and being educated, any of these three points alone would be remarkable in the countryside, but now these three points are concentrated on Xu Jichang alone.

This is enough to make all Tunli people give a thumbs up.

Amidst the praises of the villagers, Xu Jichang was holding a hunting knife, ready to smash all the mud shells on the wild boar.

"Be careful, don't let the mud hit you."

After reminding Shunzi next to him, Xu Jichang slashed at the fat boar's body with the back of his hunting knife, knocking off the mud shell with one knife after another.

During the process, Shunzi didn't have a long memory, just after being reminded by Xu Jichang, he moved a little outside, and then moved back unconsciously after a while, causing Mu Hu to hit his head.

"Oh, who threw a stone at me."

After being hit, Shunzi covered her head and said depressedly.

"It was you who came here by yourself, and the mud shell was smashed."

"Fortunately, I reminded you just now."

Xu Jichang couldn't laugh or cry, "You didn't bleed, did you?"

"What's the matter, how can the elders have such thin skin and tender meat?"

Shunzi rubbed his head and said with a foolish smile, and picked up the mud shell that hit him just now to study it, and even took a freshly sharpened kitchen knife to chop on it.

The mud shell was not cut through by him, and the blade of the kitchen knife was deeply embedded in it.

Shunzi's eyes widened: "This hardness, this toughness, Brother Chang, why did you kill this wild boar?"

"This is definitely the Boar King. The mud shell is as thick as a tank."

"Here, with a gun."

Xu Jichang said.

Shunzi was about to take up the conversation, when Shunzi's mother said sadly not far away: "You child, why are you so stubborn, you are so heartless? Cut the mud shell with a knife, and if you cut the gap, you buy it?"

The onlookers burst into laughter: it wasn't that Shunzi's mother was talking badly, Shunzi's behavior just now was a bit aggressive, I didn't see that Xu Jichang used the back of a knife to hit him.

Shunzi lowered his head in embarrassment amidst the discussion, but fortunately the water had already boiled at this time, which relieved him.

Shunzi's mother took a long-handled ladle, scooped up a whole ladle of water, and came to Xu Jichang's side. After saying be careful, she poured boiling water on the wild boar's buttocks.

After she finished pouring the boiling water, Xu Jichang and Shunzi immediately took the knife and began to shave the fur on the wild boar's buttocks. After shaving, they stepped aside and waited for Shunzi's mother to pour another scoop of boiling water on other parts, and so on.

Shen Qingrui also came to the side at this time, asked Shunzi's mother for a basin, filled it with boiling water, and put the two forelegs and pig's ears cut off on the mountain before to soak in it.

When the water temperature was almost the same, Shen Qingrui took out a knife and shaved off the hair on the front legs and the pig's ears very carefully.

After the wild boar's hair was shaved off, it was time to chop the pieces. This time Xu Jichang did it himself and did not let others intervene. Who made him the strongest.

At this time, Shunzi brought the chopping board and wooden basin from the house, and together with Xu Jichang, he took the depilated wild boar from the shelf and put it on the chopping board.

Both of them acted cautiously, but they didn't dare to throw it, because the wild boar Xu Jichang hit was too big, and they were afraid of breaking the chopping board if they threw it around.

Xu Jichang swung his hunting knife at the wild boar on the chopping board, and chopped off the pig's head with one stroke. The surrounding members cheered and applauded after seeing it.
