Chapter 408

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, each family secretly sacrificed to the stove at home, and the village ushered in the day of killing pigs for the new year.

Although this year's pig slaughter is relatively late, the enthusiasm of the villagers is still high, and everyone is busy early in the morning.

But Xiao Nian let alone eat pig-killing dishes, as soon as he walked to the open space where the pigs were slaughtered, he vomited immediately when he smelled the smell of blood.

"Xiao Nian, are you alright?" Li Suxin asked worriedly while seeing Xie Xiaonian holding the poplar tree next to her to retch, and patted her on the back.

"I'm fine, I just don't like the smell, you guys keep busy here, I'll go back first." Xie Xiaonian said, covering her mouth and nose.

"That's fine, then you go home first, and I'll bring the food back to you when you have lunch," Xu's mother said.

But when it was time to eat at noon, it should have been very fragrant, but in Xiao Nian's nose, there was a strong smell of mutton.

The pig offal, which she liked at first, now also smelled disgusting to her.

In desperation, Xie Xiaonian had no choice but to go home depressed, so as not to affect other people's meals.

As for the pancakes far away in the army, as soon as he came home from school at night, he hurriedly urged Xu Zhongjun to pack his things, so that he could go home to see his mother and sister tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the father and son rushed to the train station with big bags and small bags.

"Apple, pancake, you must hold my hand tightly when you get on the train later, and you can't let go, you understand?"

When Xu Zhongjun saw that the two knew they were going home, he was very excited and eager to run forward, so he quickly grabbed them and told them.

"Yeah, I know, Dad, let's go and go home quickly, I want to see my mother." Pancake pulled Xu Zhongjun and said anxiously.

"Don't panic, no matter how fast you run, the train won't start until the o'clock. You two remember, don't leave my side until you get home, don't run around, otherwise you will never see your mother Yes, did you hear that?"

Xu Zhongjun was afraid that the two children would not take what he said just now to heart, so he spoke seriously again.

"Oh, I see, Dad, we will definitely not run around, and I will take good care of my brother." Although Heping was also very excited and wanted to go back to his hometown quickly, he also knew that there were too many people on the train and it was not safe, so he nodded seriously guaranteed.

On the afternoon when the father and son were catching the train, Lan Hua also came back from the commune hospital with her luggage on her back.

"After the new year, what day do you go to work?" Xie Xiaonian asked casually during the chat.

"I work on the sixth day of junior high school, and I have a long holiday this year, so I can have fun at home." Lan Hua said happily.

"Yeah, let's have fun. When you get married next year, it won't be as easy as it is now." Mother Xu said with a smile.

"Grandma! What are you talking about!" Lan Hua blushed and shouted.

"Our Lanhua is shy, okay, okay, I won't say anything!" Mother Xu said cheerfully.

"Your uncle's train will arrive in the county tomorrow morning. Let's pick up your uncle together tomorrow morning." Xie Xiaonian continued.

"Yeah, I've already prepared the money and tickets, and I'm going to go to the county to make a big purchase." Lan Hua nodded sharply.

Although she said she wanted to do a lot of shopping, at most she would just wear clothes for herself or her family. In this day and age, you need tickets for everything, and supplies are in short supply. Even if she has money and tickets, she may not be able to buy things.

Li Su thought that there were still some New Year's goods at home that he hadn't bought, so he followed him to the county the next day.

"Mom, mom, I'm here, here!" Pancake saw Xie Xiaonian waiting outside as soon as she got out of the train station, she immediately waved her arms, shouted loudly, and then ran forward with all her might!
"Be honest!" Seeing the pancakes like this, Xu Zhongjun gripped his hands even tighter, for fear that he would lose them in a hurry.

Xie Xiaonian has good hearing, she heard Pancake as soon as she yelled, but unfortunately, the pancake figure is too small, as soon as she finished yelling, she was completely blocked by others, and she couldn't find anyone when she glanced around.

Just as Xie Xiaonian was about to scan through the crowded crowd again, he suddenly felt his arms sink.

Looking down, it turned out to be Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai didn't give Xiao Nian a chance to react, and immediately stretched out his front paws and said, "There are pancakes!"

Following the direction pointed by Xiaobai, Xiao Nian saw Xu Zhongjun with the big and small bags at a glance.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I saw Zhongjun!" Xie Xiaonian hurriedly ran towards Zhongjun after finishing speaking.

When Xie Xiaonian saw Jianbing's round face, so thin that she could see her chin, her heart ached immediately.

Although the spirit of peace is not as good as when she was there, but because peace has never been very fat, it doesn't look as obvious as pancakes.

"Why are you so skinny? Didn't you eat well, didn't you listen to your father's words?" Xie Xiaonian asked sternly as he tore away the pancake that flew over and threw it on his lap.

"No, Mom, I'm obedient. I eat as seriously as before every day. If you don't believe me, ask your father and brother."

Panbing originally thought that her mother would happily hug and hug her when she saw her, but she didn't expect that the first sentence would be to question him and not believe him, so her little face immediately pulled down.

"Panbing has been really obedient during this time, and the meals I eat every day are similar to before, but I don't know why, but I just slowly lost weight." Xu Zhongjun also said a little depressed.

"Well, the pancakes are so good!" Heping also nodded.

"When a child is about 2 years old, the baby fat on his body will slowly disappear, and pancakes may also be old!" Li Suxin comforted.

"Maybe!" Although Xiao Nian also knew that such a situation would happen to children, she still felt very sad seeing her son lose so much weight!
"Mom, I'm thinking of you." Pancake took the opportunity to please her and said obediently.

"I will feed my mother the ecstasy soup. It must be that the food your father made for you is not delicious, so you are starving and skinny. When you go home, your mother will make some delicious food for you and Apple, so that you can make up for it." Xie Xiaonian pinched With a small face holding pancakes, he said with a smile.

"Mom, I want to eat the hand-rolled noodles you made." Heping said immediately when he heard that there were delicious ones.

"I want to eat it too, I want to eat it too, I want to eat hand-rolled noodles with shredded pork." Pancake further added.

"Yes, there must be meat, and there must be a lot of meat." Heping nodded his head violently.

"Okay, mom will make it for you when I get home." Xie Xiaonian looked at the two carnivores and said with a smile.

"Xiao Nian, I see that you have lost a lot of weight, is it because you can't eat recently?" Xu Zhongjun asked back.

"Isn't it because I can't eat? You don't know, Xiao Nian has severe morning sickness. These days when I go home, I can only drink some soup every day, and I don't eat much." Li Suxin replied.

"What can I do? What can I do if I don't eat, you are still pregnant, sister-in-law, what can cure morning sickness?" Xu Zhongjun asked quickly.

"I've tried everything, but it's useless, but I can keep up with my nutrition every day, and my child and I are not affected at all. It will be fine when the morning sickness passes." Xie Xiaonian comforted.

"There are so many people here, it's chaotic, let's leave the train station first, and we'll talk when we go back." Seeing everyone standing here talking endlessly, Lan Hua interjected.

"Yes, Lanhua is right, we still have to go shopping, we can't waste time here, or the supply and marketing cooperative will be robbed of everything later. Zhongjun, put your luggage in this basket and carry it on your back Come on, let's go shopping in the county first, buy some new year's goods before going back."

Xie Xiaonian took off the pannier on his back, handed it to Xu Zhongjun and said.

The two children were still young and couldn't walk too far. In the end, the eldest brother Xu Zhongming carried Heping on his back. Xu Zhongjun carried pancakes, luggage and Xiaobai, and followed the three women to wander around the supply and marketing cooperatives and various stores.

Lanhua had been busy with work before, and with the fact that Lanhua was about to get married after the new year, Li Suxin was going to make more cloth for Lanhua, so the group went to buy cloth first.

When Xie Xiaonian and his group arrived at the counter where they bought cloth, they saw a group of women surrounding a tall girl, chattering about something.

Xu Zhongjun is a soldier. Even though he is not wearing a military uniform now, he still feels that it is his duty to maintain peace, so when he saw this situation, he wanted to go forward and inquire about it.

"It's all women over there, it's not suitable for you as a man, let me go and see the situation first!" Xie Xiaonian stopped Xu Zhongjun and said.

"Okay, then you take Xiaobai there!" Xu Zhongjun said worriedly.

"I'll follow too!" Li Suxin looked at the situation over there, thinking that it shouldn't be a bad thing.

But even so, she has to follow along. People in the country like to join in the fun. Even if it is a good thing, if there are too many people, it will easily become a bad thing.

"Well, let's go and have a look together!" Xie Xiaonian hugged Xiaobai and said to the sister-in-law.

If she went to the street by herself, she would never join in the fun, but for the sake of the loyal army, she can only gossip.

Xie Xiaonian first inquired outside, then relied on her own strength to squeeze inside with her sister-in-law, and finally knew why this group of people gathered here.

It turned out that these aunts and daughters-in-law felt that the little girl in the middle was dressed in a foreign style, and they might only add this kind of clothes for the Chinese New Year a year, so they surrounded the people in the middle, ready to study, so that they could make a suit for themselves when they went home .

Originally, this group of women wanted to learn, so it was enough for this girl to let others see her openly, but this girl didn't want to, and she even called them country bumpkins, which caused a quarrel and attracted a lot of people.

But now it's almost Chinese New Year, and everyone doesn't want to quarrel to cause bad luck, and everyone is a good clothes maker, after a few careful glances, they will do it, and there is not much quarrel.

But it can't stand the crowd, and everyone likes to join in the fun, so they all gather around here, so there are more and more people, and they can't leave.

Xie Xiaonian took a few glances at the girl, and found that she was indeed dressed differently from the people here.
