Section 089 Killing Pigs for Chinese New Year

He Jiangsheng turned his face away and said nothing, but he didn't change his mind because of He Youbao's words.He didn't want to spend his whole life digging the soil, and he was doomed to be poor for generations to come.He wants to raise something and learn to run a business in a few years.Although businessmen are disgraceful, they can make money.Farmers, what do you want to be glamorous? If you earn money to buy fields and land, your children and grandchildren don't have to work as hard as he is now.

The same is hard work, why not take a different path?
Anxiu looked at him in surprise, it turned out that under his honest appearance, there was a restless heart hidden.If you want to change your destiny, you need this kind of heart that is not afraid of failure and keeps pursuing. Anxiu hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, how much money do you want to buy that fish pond?"

"Five taels!" He Jiangsheng said.

"Five taels can buy one mu of good land, and it can produce hundreds of catties of grain a year. Why do you buy fish ponds? If you can't grow crops, it's a waste!" The second aunt put down her needlework and said, "Jiang Sheng, the family is finally stable, what are you going to do?"

"Brother Jiang, why don't we partner up? I'll pay for the pond and the ducklings, and you'll be responsible for raising them. When they grow up, you'll pay six and four cents to me. How about that?" Anxiu moved closer, "Earning money from the two of us." Yes, it’s my fault. I’ll come and see you when the farming season is busy, so I won’t delay your work.”

He Jiangsheng's eyes lit up when he heard it. He thought about Anxiu's words carefully, and said with a smile: "The money is in my mother's hands, and I can't dig it out. You buy ponds and ducklings, and I will raise them. Give me [-]% and it will be fine." .”

He Jiangsheng thought in his heart that if he had [-]% of the money, he would be able to pay for the pond next year without having to take money from his family.Anyway, he can't just dig the ground for a lifetime.

The second aunt beat Anxiu: "I'm here to persuade you, but you are still fanning the flames! You two don't waste money, it's great to farm with peace of mind, if you want to raise ducks, it's good to make money, but what to do if you lose money? It took a lot of time and made people in Zhuangzi watch the joke."

"Second Aunt!" Anxiu laughed, "This is not a matter of losing money and being ashamed! You listen to me and settle the accounts for you: you and my second uncle are busy with the housework during the slack season, and it is not enough to keep the ducks for a day or two during the busy season. No problem, no delay. You can grow lotus leaves in the pond, sell lotus seeds and lotus roots, and put down small fish for ducks to eat. It doesn't cost much feed. It's a stable business no matter what! Brother Jiang is young. Is it possible to toss again when you are 50 or [-] years old? Is there still energy to toss?"

The whole family laughed.The second uncle seemed to be somewhat enlightened when An Xiu said it: "Xiu girl said it, it seems to be such a rationale!"

"You're messing around too!" Shi Li waited for the second uncle.He tried to persuade him dryly, but He Youbao not only didn't stick to his principles, but even went to Anxiu's camp instead.

"Mother, I really want to do something. I always guard a few acres of land. How long will it be? I heard that Landlord Sun's grandfather went to sea to sell goods and made money. Landlord Sun's house is so leisurely now. It takes a generation to work hard, so that the people behind can live comfortably!" He Jiangsheng said.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings! If your children and grandchildren do not live up to their expectations, your family property will be ruined; if your children and grandchildren are up to date, you can earn it yourself, so you will not look down on your small family and small business. Let your generation live in peace. Just do it." Although Li Shi has no education, he has insight and has a set of philosophies in life.

"His mother, what you said seems like Jiang Sheng is going to do some dangerous thing, isn't it just raising ducks? Since you don't want your money, you can let the two children make trouble." He Youfu said.He could see that He Jiangsheng had really matured his thinking before speaking to them, and it wasn't a momentary fever.

No wonder He Jiangsheng liked to go to Xitang after dinner several months ago.It is estimated that he had this idea at the time, and he just wanted to wait for the harvest at the end of the year to tell his family.

What An Xiu said is right, which man doesn't want to make a fuss when he is young?If you really guard your wife and children as a cow, what can you do?You can survive a little loss when you are young, but you can no longer afford such a loss when you are old.

A father always understands his son.Mother is different, a woman who has spent half her life, in her heart, can overcome everything steadily, and nothing is as good as being safe and secure.Mrs. Li just wanted He Jiangsheng to marry a daughter-in-law and have children, and to take care of the family's fields. He would naturally be happy when the harvest was good. If the harvest was poor, the family also had savings, so he would not be hungry for the rest of his life!

How nice, why bother?
"Do I love money?" Mrs. Li was displeased with He Youfu's tone, as if she stopped He Jiangsheng from doing this because she couldn't bear the five taels of silver, "I think this kind of thing is unreliable. There was no I have raised ducks before, but if something happens, I have no idea at all!"

"Mother, I know you are afraid that I will lose, and people in Zhuangzi will point and point. But I am not afraid!" He Jiangsheng patted his chest, "I have strength, I am not stupid, and I will not be inferior to others for the rest of my life. Shusheng will go to school Now, in the future examination for talents, there are many brothers in my uncle's family, and I am the only one who is weak. I have to surpass them all in order to be able to compete with the brothers in my family, right?"

Mrs. Li was taken aback, yes!The three male dolls of the old family, helping each other, must be better than Jiang Sheng;

Seeing Li's stunned look, He Jiangsheng knew that what he said hit her mind. He hit the snake seven inches, and he had found his mother's veins, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Mother, I promise to only toss this time, if this time No matter how bad it is, I won’t even think about these things in the future, so I can farm with peace of mind.”

"Second Aunt, you can let Brother Jiang make a fuss. Maybe he really made a fortune and became a landlord, so you can enjoy the blessings!" An Xiu also helped He Jiangsheng persuade Li.

"The landlord doesn't want to think about it!" Li said with a smile, "I'm satisfied if I don't make people laugh at me. You don't know how bad the people in Zhuangzi said about the fishpond incident the year before last. They must say that Jiang has evil spirits in his life. Listen. At this point, I'm so pissed off!"

"This time just made you feel bad about the year before last!" Anxiu laughed hurriedly.

"His second aunt, I also have a word." It took He Youbao a long time to speak slowly, "Jiang Sheng is a prudent child, and he can make people feel at ease in everything he does. Last time when something happened, he must have thought a lot about it this time. It was planned. You just let the doll toss it by itself. After a long time of tossing, you can always come up with some tricks, right?"

Hearing everyone's persuasion, Mrs. Li figured it out a bit, and said with a smile: "I can't help my son, I can't control it! Cheng Lie, if you want to make troubles, you can make troubles, anyway, it's just this year!"

He Jiangsheng's brows were beaming with joy, and the corners of his lips were curled up in a smile, revealing his white and neat teeth, which was very pretty.

Mrs. Li said again: "Since you are the one who wants to make a fuss, you can't get involved with girl Xiu, and Niang Qian will pay for you."

Anxiu hurriedly yelled: "Second Aunt, you can't do this, you kicked me when you figured it out! I was just about to pay some money, and let Brother Jiang help me make more money! I can't just sit and eat, you are too It's not interesting enough!"

Everyone laughed.He Youbao also smiled: "Second Aunt, according to my opinion, you don't care about this matter, let the two dolls go on their own. This is a real loss of money, and you can buy a lesson. You give They paid for it, so I don’t feel sorry for losing money to them!”

"That's exactly what he said!" Second Uncle He Youfu also laughed, "You have to suffer. They don't know the pain until they lose their flesh! Damn, don't worry about them!"

Li Shi pursed her lips and smiled, and said after a while: "Then I really don't care? Girl Xiu, do you have that much money? You built a house!"

"Yes, yes!" After finishing speaking, he whispered in Li Shi's ear, "Last time I found more than a dozen taels of silver from the floor of Xiao Shi's bed, and none of the ones I gave to Brother Jiang were mine. Interesting! Don’t let my father know, it’s not kind to talk about me later.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li chuckled, and made a gesture to hit her: "You're the only one with a lot of tricks!"

He Yu'er taught He Juan and He Feng embroidery in He Juan's room. He Juan was used to rough work, and her fingers were no longer dexterous to this level. She couldn't learn it, so she had to teach He Feng.But He Feng's mind is not on learning embroidery at all, but on watching He Yuer's embroidery.

He Shusheng sat next to He Youbao and listened to them without saying a word, with the air of an adult!
Mrs. Li saw his expression when she looked back, and smiled at everyone: "Our Shusheng has become more sensible since he went to school, like a big boy!"

"Not only sensible, but also grown up!" Anxiu said happily, as if someone praised the radishes in her private plot as smug, "Second Aunt, do you think it's strange that the food in school is not as good as at home, but he grows up?" It’s gone. Shu Sheng, get up and show Second Aunt.”

He Shusheng hurriedly got up, the second uncle and the second aunt looked at him, it seemed that he had really grown a lot taller, and they both smiled happily: "Shusheng, what do you eat in the school to grow so fast?"

"It's not as good as at home, but it eats more." He Shusheng said with a smile, "If you don't eat, you will get hungry easily. When you are hungry at school, you can only carry it, unlike at home where you can eat at any time. I eat a bowl of rice at home and a meal in school. Eat three bowls."

"No wonder you're tall!" The second aunt touched his arm, feeling a little fatter, and she was also very happy, "Xiu, rice is the most nourishing, more nourishing than any fish. If you can eat, you will definitely grow taller!"

Before leaving, the second uncle gave her a basket of tofu, saying that this can be used to make fermented bean curd; then he gave her a bucket, soaked in water, it will not spoil easily, take it back and eat slowly.

An Xiu carried the basket, He Youbao and He Shusheng carried the bucket, and He Yuer followed them and went home.

On the way back, Anxiu was very happy and kept looking at He Shusheng.She has really grown a lot. Her previous height could only reach below her shoulders, but now she has reached her ears. "Shusheng, you will be as tall as me after a while! I will be satisfied if you grow as tall as me!" Anxiu is not greedy, she is just like her, and she is not short among Tong Zhuangzi's younger generations.

Anxiu is rich, He Shu grows beautifully, what kind of daughter-in-law will not be able to marry in the future?Thinking about it this way makes me even happier!Isn't the mother so happy when she sees her son is about to grow into a young man?He Shusheng turned his head and saw Anxiu looking at him with a smirk, he was taken aback for a moment, his cheeks were slightly red when he turned away.

The pig raised by Anxiu has grown more than 150 catties in only three months, and it can be killed for the New Year.Li Shi was very surprised, and asked Anxiu what to feed to make a piglet grow so fast.Anxiu said very calmly: "Half hogweed, half white rice, plus rice bran!"

Mrs. Li clicked her tongue, feeling a little heartbroken: "No wonder it grows so fast! Your pig's food is almost as good as my family's lunch!" Lunch is the best meal in the farm.

Anxiu stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "It looks pretty good. I gained more than 100 catties in half a month. It's a bargain! Second Aunt, do you want to try it too?"

She knew that Mrs. Li would not waste like this, so she dared to mislead her.Sure enough, Mrs. Li spat at her: "I don't have so many things to waste in my house! Feeding pigweed can grow more than 100 catties a year, and I can make no mistakes in any food!"

According to the traditional custom, on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month to buy new year's meat, Anxiu invited a butcher to kill his own pig, remove the head and tail, and get [-] catties of pork.Anxiu kept fifty catties for herself, and the remaining fifty catties were given to the second uncle's family.

The second uncle's family wants to marry a daughter-in-law in the first month, so it is necessary.Anxiu's pork is five cents a catty cheaper than the market.

In the first month of the lunar year, there is also a gift to grandma and uncle, which is more valuable than the Mid-Autumn Festival. Pork, rock candy, New Year’s cakes, New Year’s cakes, etc. are needed, so Anxiu kept [-] catties of pork.

Aunt Xu next door didn't even buy New Year's meat. Today, Anxiu's family slaughtered pigs. She stood at the door to watch and then went back.Anxiu looked a little distressed, her man and son had been bedridden for the fifth year, and the two women brought a grandson, life became more and more difficult every year.

The butcher naturally threw the pig into the water.Anxiu could only scream, this good thing was lost, isn't it too wasteful?I picked it up again.The butcher shook his head straightly: "Xiu girl, you can't eat these things."

Anxiu didn't speak, but she despised him in her heart. She said she couldn't eat such a delicious thing!That night, stir-fried pork lungs, stir-fried pork liver, and pork kidneys were made into soup.After cleaning the large intestine of the pig, steam it, rub it with straw ash to get rid of the smell, and fry it with Chaotian pepper, it is very delicious.

He Yuer and He Shusheng repeatedly praised the food.He Youbao tasted a chopstick, smiled and said nothing, and pushed the vegetable bowl towards He Shusheng and He Yuer.Anxiu pulled the vegetable bowl back and said with a smile, "Father, there are a lot of pig lungs and pig intestines, you can eat them too, don't let them eat all of them."

He Youbao had no choice but to pick it up to eat, and said: "Xiu, don't be too busy, sit down and eat!"

Anxiu untied her apron, fried up another plate of pork lungs and intestines, put them in the basket, and said with a smile, "Father, I'll send this to Aunt Xu. I don't think her family bought any meat. It's a sad year, too. Let's see if they want to help, since they live next door, we can't just watch them have no way to celebrate the New Year."

He Youbao glanced at An Xiu approvingly: "That's right, you go!"

An Xiu carried the basket and went out.
