The little girl pointed out with a tigerish head and said:

"The old ladies from the village have killed my sister, I'm going to kill them!"

Geng Xiaoyun spoke so vividly that everyone in the room was amused:

"Really or not, is this really possible?"

Geng Xiaoyun waved his hand: "That's not true! There are some shy and shy people among us, but ah! Most of them are bold, courageous, and energetic!"

Lu Miao smiled, rolled her eyes, and interjected:

"Whether it's true or not, won't you know by looking at Xiaoyun?"

"Hey! It's true!"

There was another burst of laughter in the room.

January 1977, 1, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The county equipment team officially stopped working years ago.

Fu Jingyou received his salary and various ticket subsidies, and walked around the county department store that day, tying large and small bags to the front and rear of his bicycle to take home.

When he got home, he set up his bicycle and was responsible for unloading the packages. Lu Miao stood at the table and was responsible for unloading the packages.

"What did you buy in these big and small bags?"

"We have everything to eat and use. It's time to buy new year's goods."

Lu Miao glanced at him angrily, then took a few raisins and tasted them.

The raisins are soft and a little chewy, and have a nice sweet taste.

Lu Miao grabbed some and put it in a small bowl, letting Dabao and Erbao grab it and play with it.

"There's almost a whole month until the Chinese New Year. If you buy these now, they'll be gone in a few days."

Fu Jingyou smiled and picked up Erbao from the fence and kissed him:

"It goes into your stomach, not into other people's stomachs. You just buy it after eating. It's not worth taking."

And I will definitely make a trip to the county before the end of the year.

The office issued a lot of subsidy tickets, many of which were about to expire.

As he spoke, Fu Jingyou thought of how Lu Miao had been mending and learning to make children's clothes. Fu Jingyou said:

"I have saved a lot of money this year. Do you want to buy you a sewing machine at the end of the year?"

Lu Miao shook his head: "Let's wait until after the college entrance examination! What if we really pass the college entrance examination? It's not easy to take such a big guy out. It costs more than 100 yuan..."

Fu Jingyou had a different opinion: "It's not difficult to carry. We just need to disassemble the machine when the time comes. We will bring the metal part ourselves, and we can just send the other parts to the post office."

Fu Jingyou considered it very well.

Because there is no doubt that Lu Miao will definitely pass the exam.

"Don't buy it yet..."

Lu Miao still shook his head and insisted:

"I just sew for fun, and I don't really want to be a tailor, so I won't do that for now."

Fu Jingyou then gave up and turned to talk about something else:

"The equipment team is on holiday, and there was nothing much happened last year. I'm thinking it's getting colder now, so I'll find someone to come over tomorrow and kill the pigs."

"Kill so early?"

In previous years, the team would kill pigs during the last few days at the end of the year.

Although the meat won't go bad if it's cold, it will definitely taste fresh and delicious.

Fu Jingyou held Erbao's butt with one hand and held Erbao's back with the other, swinging him around and whistling and teasing:

"Kill one head first, keep some fresh ones to eat at home, send some to my uncle's family, make the rest into bacon, hang it to dry, and send some to the capital city years ago."

The remaining ones will be killed at the end of the twelfth lunar month.

The two pigs at home were raised earlier than other families in the team, so they naturally became fatter after raising them for half a year.

When the time comes, half of the pig will be handed over to the task, and the remaining half will be kept at home to eat slowly.

The advantage of widely promoting pig farming is that everyone can eat meat by the end of the year. In addition, pork can be bought and sold privately.

The superiors turned a blind eye and said nothing.

Fu Jingyou has always been responsible for taking care of the pig pen when he goes to and from get off work. Lu Miao usually only throws in some vegetables and some swill to feed.

She didn't like the pigsty, so she didn't care much about the affairs there.

Seeing that Fu Jingyou had already made a plan, Lu Miao stopped talking and just listened to his arrangements. Fu Jingyou and Lu Miao agreed on the idea and went to the team to find help after dinner at night.

We made an appointment to start work at 5:30 the next morning.

Fu Jingyou stopped by He's house and told him about killing the pig, and asked Chen Guifen to come over tomorrow to help.

In the countryside, pigs are killed early in the morning, but the children were asleep at that time, so Lu Miao definitely couldn't tell what was going on.

Chen Guifen understood and reassured him that he would definitely go tomorrow morning.

After staying at He's house for a while, Fu Jingyou went home.

It was said that the pigs would be killed at five o'clock the next morning, but Fu Jingyou got up at four o'clock.

It was pitch dark outside. Lu Miao was pressed into her hair by him. She felt pain and woke up in a daze:

"So early?"

"Ah."

Fu Jingyou stroked her forehead and pressed the quilt tightly on her shoulders:

"We need to prepare first, and we'll get started when people arrive soon. It's still early, why don't we sleep a little longer?"

"Um……"

Lu Miao yawned and rubbed the side of her face against his palm, still confused.

"You mess with the stove, it's a little cold..."

"it is good."

Fu Jingyou put a new piece of coal in the stove and turned up the damper before going out to work.

Lu Miao turned around, took Dabao, who was sleeping on the back of the bed and was covered with a small quilt, into his arms, kissed him, and continued to sleep.

The little guy probably nestled in his mother's arms because of nature. He was so sleepy that he couldn't stop his little hands from grabbing at him.

Lu Miao took his little hand out of his arms and replaced it with a finger for him to hold.

Fu Jingyou set up an earthen stove at the door, took off the two pots in the kitchen and set them up in front of the door.

In the middle of the work, he guessed that the newly replaced coal was burning, so he quietly entered the room and turned back the stove damper.

When he left the room again, he caught up with Chen Guifen.

"Is Miao girl up yet?"

"I didn't let her get up. The little brat made a fuss last night. Let her sleep a little longer."

Chen Guifen nodded, put on her clothes and got busy.

It was just half past four, and Chen Guifen also came over in advance to prepare.

At five o'clock the workmen came to boil a pot of tea and boil the water for scalding the pig.

Chen Guifen first filled two hot water bottles at home.

A hot kettle is placed in the main room, and visitors can pour it themselves when they are thirsty.

Another kettle was gently put into the room.

When Lu Miao got up, it was easier to drink and make milk for the baby.

More and more people came to the door.

Lu Miao always heard the sound of someone shouting and talking, and couldn't sleep well.

He simply calmed down and prepared to get up after getting warmer.

In front of the door.

Fu Jingyou removed a door panel in the main room and set up the door panel with two benches. Fu Jingyou and his two uncles went to the pig pen to catch pigs.

The Fu family's pigs were raised in the autumn last year, and they took more than half a year to raise than other piglets that were caught in the spring.

The two pigs are much longer than the pigs raised by other people in the team. They are estimated to weigh 250 or 280 kilograms.

Looks fat.

The uncle who came to help praised him when he saw it:

"This pig is really well raised. I haven't seen such a fat pig in a few years! Xiao Liu, your family is killing pigs today and selling the pork, right?"

Fu Jingyou selected the pig, drove the pig to the corner of the pig pen and said:

"Let's take a look first. I want to give some to the Yue family and sell the rest."
