Chapter 46

She actually didn't want it, but seeing Tangning's smiling face and two rows of white teeth, she swallowed the words.

"Sister Tangning, there's no need to do this in the future. Anyway, my room is empty, and you've been staying with me for a while. Besides, you were arranged by fourth uncle, so you don't need to give us anything."

"It's okay, anyway, I can't finish eating the food stamps in my hand!" Tangning smiled brightly. She really likes the members of the Jiang family, they are all friendly and easy to get along with, and except for one who is not yet grown up. The eldest Jiang Chuan has no other men in the family, so she has few scruples, so she is naturally happy to get along with the Jiang family in the next few days. After all, no one sees her when she looks up, and no one feels comfortable if the relationship is cold.

"Then I'll send you a bowl of wild vegetables at noon. They're just dug up. They're fresh and taste good." Reciprocity, Jiang Yu doesn't like to take advantage of others, and of course he also takes advantage of the situation.

Tangning looked at the two baskets of green wild vegetables and thought they looked good, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

The siblings went to the kitchen to fetch a basin, and started washing wild vegetables with well water in the yard. Judging from Su Yinyin's situation, they should have stayed here for lunch, and the two were still talking about going to work tomorrow.

In the words, Tangning took good care of Su Yinyin, but Jiang Yu thought that Tangning would suffer a great loss from her in the college entrance examination at the end of next year, and suddenly felt that the world was impermanent and people's hearts were unpredictable.

She wanted to tell Tangning the truth, but the relationship between the two of them seemed very close now, and if she said it, it would make Tangning unhappy, so let's wait until the two of them got into a deadlock.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

"Little fish, come and help me!" Jiang Yan's voice drifted in from outside.

Jiang Yu got up and came to the door of the house, and saw Jiang Yan staggering over with a wicker basket in both hands, and there was a pink and tender little piglet inside the box. Haw chirping", very cute.

"Sister, the little piglet caught this year?" Jiang Yu stepped forward, and before the eldest sister could speak, she stretched out her hand and hugged the little piggy in the wicker basket.

I can’t help it, it’s so cute, it’s all pink, except for the black eyes, there’s no variegation, and because it’s not too long, the hair on its body is still soft, and it has a flat pink piggy nose From time to time, there is a humming sound, which is very soft.

She thought that after this little pink pig was bred until the end of the year, it would be sent to the county town to be slaughtered...

Suddenly I want to say something stupid: pigs are so cute, how can you eat pigs!
"Pfft!" She couldn't help laughing out loud, "Sister, it's so cute."

This is obviously a pet, Jiang Yu wished he could keep it on the kang, instead of stuffing it alone in the pigsty.

Tangning and Su Yinyin saw Jiang Yu coming in with the little piggy in his arms, and they also stepped forward curiously, watching the little piggy non-stop, with love in their eyes.

"Is this really the kind of pork we eat?" Su Yinyin said softly.

"Yes!" Jiang Yan nodded with a smile, "Little fish, send it to the pigsty and cook some pig food for it at noon."

The little piglets just brought back are still young, so naturally they can’t be fed as casually as the big pigs, and they need to be finer. The bran at home is prepared for this kind of time. You need to add water to the pot and boil it. Add chopped pigweed to it, and it will take at least two months to feed it. It can be easier in summer, until the weather becomes cold after autumn, and pig food still needs to be boiled before it goes out of the pen.

Jiang Yu reluctantly put the little pink pig into the pigsty. The pigsty had been cleaned up after the big fat pig came out of the pen last year, and several layers of wheat straw were spread under the pigsty.

The little pink pig just came to a new environment, seemed very disturbed, walked around the pigsty a few times, whimpering and whining, the hearts of those who listened were softened.

Then it ran to the wheat stalks, probably feeling soft and warm, lay down on it and continued whining.

"Sister, where did you catch it?" Jiang Yu asked.

"The fat pigs in Granny Zhou's house gave birth. Fifteen pigs were born in this litter, and two died. The rest were bought by our village. My mother-in-law left us the most energetic one."

Granny Zhou is getting old, so she can't do things like earning work points in the fields. Fortunately, she is good at raising pigs, especially sows. She has lived a pretty good life by selling piglets these years, at least There is no need to worry about eating and drinking. During the season of breaking up, Granny Zhou will use money to buy some work points from Jiang Changhai, and exchange them for daily food in the commune. Not to mention that life is hard, but it is really not easy.

On weekdays, the elderly just carry a basket to cut pigweed, or do some light work to earn a small amount of work points.

The villagers didn't say anything either. Those old people in the commune who were not in good health were treated like this, and Granny Zhou didn't stand out.

Besides, many old people are accompanied by their children and grandchildren, but Granny Zhou is a lonely person, not relying on other livelihoods, how can she survive these days.

In the next few days, Su Yinyin seemed to come to Tangning habitually for a meal, and Tangning had a good attitude and was not stingy at all. Every time she came back here with Su Yinyin after work.

Even if Jiang Yu doesn't want to see her in her heart, but now that the two of them don't interfere with each other, she can't afford to drive him out with a cold face. Otherwise, there is no problem at first, but if you do something redundant, the conflict will accumulate.

Now the newly arrived educated youths have been arranged to work in the fields. Of course, because they have just arrived, their labor is not too hard, and the work points are allocated according to the type of labor. The workload of male educated youths is heavier. , the work points are more, and the female educated youths have a lighter workload, and their appetite is smaller than that of men, and their work points are relatively small, but they are already much better than the villagers in the commune.

On another Sunday, Jiang Yan and his younger brother went up the mountain with a basket on their shoulders. They stood at the entrance of the village and looked towards the back mountain. The pink and white colors of the mountains and plains are really beautiful.

Jiang Yu found that the little guys around him didn't seem as excited as he was, which was understandable, after all, he had watched it for several years, and every year he and his little friends would run all over the mountains and plains countless times.

Stepping on the dirt road, Jiang Yu looked around beautifully, seeing the green vegetation around her, and her mood became more relaxed.

"Now the mountain is almost thawed, maybe we can meet rabbits." Jiang Chuan suddenly regained his energy because he was at the foot of the mountain and saw rabbit droppings.

Jiang Yu also suddenly came to his senses, yes, in the novels I read before, the mountains are full of rabbits and wild boars, although the taste of wild boar is much fishier than pork, and the meat is much harder than pork , but in this era of less meat, even a house sparrow can't wait to kill it, let alone wild pork.

"Is there any wild boar?" She also asked a little excitedly.

In the end, my younger brother gave me two supercilious looks, "Second sister, there are villages in front of and behind this mountain, and people from several villages often go up the mountain. How stupid are you to be a wild boar?"
