After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

"We raise pigs every year, firstly to provide meat for our family to eat, and secondly to make bacon from it and give it as a New Year gift during festivals."

"We rural people may be poor, but we should still be polite. Besides, a piece of bacon weighs five or six kilograms at the smallest. It would be respectable to give it away as a gift."

"The environment really affects people. In the first 10 to 20 years of my life, the gifts given by the people around me during Chinese New Year were either cured meat or sugar. The better ones would give packaged liquor. But later, as conditions became better, the gifts given during Chinese New Year and other festivals became more and more diverse, no longer limited to these gifts. Some people would buy all kinds of milk, fruits, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. in supermarkets for convenience."

"After telling my parents, I walked to the back mountain with the basket on my back. To smoke the bacon, we need a lot of pine trees and some special aromas, such as dried sesame seeds, corn stalks, peanut shells, etc. The bacon smoked with these special aromas will have a rich taste, which makes people eat it with a lingering aftertaste. Not to mention the unique taste of the bacon. Anyone who has eaten it will be deeply impressed by it. After all, this complex flavor is really special."

"It's not like some places that also make bacon, but the bacon or salted meat they make is different and unique in taste in every household."

"But after trying so many kinds of bacon, I think the bacon made in our house tastes the best."

"Not only is there a smokey aroma, but more importantly, there are also various fruity aromas that form my favorite taste."

"When I got home with a lot of pine branches, my parents had already dug three fire pits for smoking meat in the open space next to the house. Because there was a lot of pork, they were afraid that they couldn't smoke it all at once, so they dug two more fire pits."

"Above the three fire pits, the shelves were filled with white pork with a hint of red, and the fires in the fire pits were also burning vigorously."

"We use the old method to make bacon. We first use medium-high heat to evaporate the moisture in the meat, then use low heat to slowly add various fragrant things and slowly smoke and roast it. We also have to turn it over at any time so that every piece of meat on the rack can be heated evenly. We are also afraid that if we don't turn it over in time, it will be roasted black, which will not only affect the appearance of the bacon, but also reduce the weight of the bacon. If we are not careful, it will cause a chain reaction and all the bacon will burn. Pork itself is an combustion aid, not to mention such a pile of pork on the fire, isn't that really adding fuel to the fire?

"Every year, in order to smoke and roast bacon, some families have this kind of thing happen."

"A good bacon should be slightly black and golden in color. If you go to a household and see the bacon is pitch black, it's obvious that they didn't pay attention and it got burned by the fire."

"This method of smoking and roasting bacon is not as convenient as some places where they just hang everything up in a small room and smoke it slowly, and there is no need for people to turn it over all the time."

"These few days, whenever you go out, you can smell the smell of smoked bacon in every household. After all, it's only a few days away from the Chinese New Year. While the snow isn't falling so heavily these days, everyone should quickly smoke and roast the bacon."

"The smell of this bacon is overbearing, not to mention this spiritual pig that was raised with spiritual energy. So much pork, smoked and roasted at the same time, the smell is real, it makes people drool. Look, all the children in the village are seduced here. Everyone is gathered around the fire pit, saying sweet words and acting coquettishly, just wanting to taste a bite of the smoked bacon. Anyway, they are all children, and acting coquettishly is their right. For the sake of eating, they are also shameless."

"Listening to them calling me beautiful, kind and generous sister, coupled with their flattering expressions, who can resist such a group of cute little girls?"

"I picked out some of the cooked meat and cut it for them. Seeing these little cuties gasping for air from the heat, but unable to let such delicious barbecued meat leave their mouths, I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry."

"I tried it, too. It's really delicious. Barbecue is all about fun. You can eat it anytime, anywhere, and you'll never get tired of it. Not to mention the meat. It's so crispy and delicious. It's absolutely delicious."

"Sister Yue Ling, I want more"

“I want some too.”

"..."

"I know you guys are good at talking, saying you're just going to taste it, are you kidding me? Looking at this group of greedy little devils, I was a little helpless. I could only think about it and said helplessly: How about this! You guys go and help your sister Bingbing cut some potato chips, get some other vegetables and seasonings, and then we'll all have a barbecue. How about that? Can you complete the task? Do you want to eat?"

"Yes, we can complete the task. We are going to have a barbecue."

"When they heard about barbecue, the greedy kids couldn't wait to answer: At that time, barbecue was not popular in our area. Although everyone didn't understand what barbecue was, as long as they could eat meat and eat delicious food, they were very enthusiastic."

"Sister Bingbing, look at me, I'm very capable."

"Brother Cheng, I can do it, too."

"Looking at my sister and brother being surrounded by everyone and being entangled by these people, I really felt happy about their misfortune."

"My sister looked at me with an expression of watching a show, and she was a little helpless. This little sister is getting more and more naughty. What can I do? I can only spoil my own little sister."

"Everyone around me followed my sister and her friends to prepare the barbecue, and I was the only one left in front of the fire pit watching the bacon being smoked."

"Since the winter vacation, the breakfast shop's business has dropped a lot. Now only my second aunt and her family are busy in the shop. However, as the Chinese New Year approaches, the clothing store is doing a booming business. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone has worked hard for a year and has some extra money. They also want to reward themselves and their families, so food and clothing are selling especially well these days, especially during the big markets. The streets are so crowded that it's hard to squeeze through.

"Vendors want to make a fortune during the Chinese New Year. Market goers also want to buy some New Year items to stock up while prices are still relatively low. They are also afraid that if they go too late, others will buy all the items. After all, the big market doesn't happen every day."

"It seems that the last time I went to the market was on the 2003th day of the twelfth lunar month in . I can imagine how crowded the market was that day. The vendors were all grinning from ear to ear. I was able to make a lot of money at the last market before the Spring Festival, and I could go home to celebrate New Year's Eve."

"After eating the pig-killing meal a few days ago, my parents sent my grandparents and uncle back home the next day. It's almost the New Year, and there are still a lot of miscellaneous things at home. It's not appropriate to stay at my son-in-law's house like this, mainly because there are not enough rooms at home."

"We can only wait until the new house is built, then grandparents can stay as long as they want, and they won't have to worry about not having a new room. But this time when I sent grandma and her family back, I also brought them a lot of pork and fruits. They are our own relatives, so why should we be so stingy?"

"Of course, seeing all these things, grandpa and the others quickly waved their hands and said no, it was too much and too expensive. The pork alone weighed thirty or forty kilograms. They knew before that the pork was sold to the villagers for 20 yuan per kilogram. Add these fruits that were not in demand, and the total cost of this pile of things was more than 1000 yuan. Even if they were your own daughter and son-in-law, you couldn't take advantage of them like this, right?"

"Grandpa and grandma, just accept it!"

"This is also a little filial piety from our family. You two elders can't stop us young people from being filial, right? Moreover, you know the current situation of my family. We are not the kind of people who pretend to be rich. You can accept it without worry! Not to mention that these things are good for people's health."

"He shook his head to Grandpa and said,"

"Looking at my winking expression, grandpa actually understood in his heart. When he learned about these vegetables, fruits and meats, he discovered that these things are full of spiritual energy. Eating them will definitely make people healthy."

"How can it be bad? This is like eating ginseng fruit."

"The days of the gods are given to you, don't you want them?"

"Grandpa made the decision, okay, we'll take it."

"He knows it in his heart. With our current abilities, it would be easy for us to live a life of a superior person. Not to mention that we have a cultivator like me and my master. I'm afraid his daughter and son-in-law would have already reached the pinnacle of life and achieved financial freedom."

……

"There are people helping out in the store in town. My parents only go to lend a hand sometimes, but most of the time, our family of five is studying hard. My sister and brother were catching up on their winter vacation homework two days ago. Fortunately, these homework courses are child's play for them now, and are not worth mentioning, as they are already learning the knowledge of the first grade of junior high school."

"My parents have also been studying hard these days. They are making progress. Now they have caught up with my sister and brother's courses. They are also reading and reciting other books I took out from the space. After renovating the house during this period of time, they have also found that they still need to read more books to understand the decoration structure diagram of the house, and to lay a better foundation for future decoration and construction of the house."

"Seize the opportunity, several people are enriching themselves."

"Now everyone in the village knows that my family really loves to study. Not only do the children love to study and do well in their studies, but their parents have also started to study. Every time they come to our house, they see us reading, practicing calligraphy, or practicing martial arts. In any case, we never have time to rest."

"Of course, this trend of learning in our family has also swept the people around us, boosting everyone's enthusiasm for learning."

"Look, the three siblings are all top of their class, and they are all studying very hard. They also encourage their parents to do the same. Those who are better than you in academics are all studying very hard, and those who come from better families than you are also studying very hard. Tell me, which of your parents can compare to them?"

"People who are better than you are working hard. We don't have such smart brains, but we just need to follow the smart people. If you just follow the instructions, won't you be able to do it?"

"Not to mention: I don't know why during this period of time? Their memory has improved a little, and the children are more obvious. Even adults, these wordless books that used to make people sleepy, he knows me, I don't know him, but now they can slowly read them. Although they are all illiterate, who doesn't want to become an intellectual, a teacher and role model for their children?"

"Now they feel happy every day: eating delicious pork, learning with their children every day, and asking their children for help if they don't understand something. Not only do their children play the role of little teachers very enthusiastically, but they can also consolidate their knowledge while teaching them. Both of them are gaining a lot and making progress every day."

"They are increasingly convinced that our family is behind all these improvements. They have felt the benefits and learned more and more knowledge, which has made them more sensible and wiser."

“What is good and what is bad?”

"Just follow our family."

"Now they are eager to send their children to my house. After watching the elder sister and the younger brother practicing martial arts, they all want to feel how powerful the martial arts are up close. Can they learn even a few moves?"

It is so rare to have a neighbor who knows martial arts. If you can get some pointers from them for free, isn’t this a godsend?

Even if we don't teach you now, after a long time, we are all neighbors, relatives and friends. Maybe our family will be soft-hearted and teach you a few moves! Isn't this a win-win? At least after learning martial arts, not only can you strengthen your body, but you will also be able to fight back when you encounter bad guys in the future.

"Anyway, no matter what you have in mind, we have to be willing to do what you want to do and what you want to teach. Even if you want to teach martial arts, you can't just teach a person martial arts casually. You have to examine the person's talent and character. Both are indispensable."

"I will not teach people who have talent but poor character, or people who have good character but no talent. After all, these two types of people are harmful to both them and me."

"Master, I lead you to the door, but it's up to you to practice"

"But since I have led you down this path, I must be responsible for you. By teaching you the technique, there is a cause and effect relationship between us. If you do something that is harmful to the world, then I am also responsible for it, right?"

"If a child does not teach, it is the teacher's fault."

"If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy"

"Especially for those of us who practice cultivation, we have to carefully select and consider carefully before we teach a person a skill. Once we teach a person a skill, we hope that he will be able to show his talents in the future and have a bright future."

"Just like the students in ancient times: after learning the arts of literature and martial arts, they will be sold to the emperor."

"Ten years of hard study, chiseling a hole in the wall to build a beam, all for the sake of a future."

"I've seen all of this. Let me see more..."

"As I kept turning the pork over and over, I kept adding various fragrant pine branches and other things to the stoves. Now the aroma of the meat is everywhere. The smell is really overbearing."

"Smoking and roasting bacon is really a technical job. In addition to constantly turning the pork over to prevent it from being roasted black or burned by oil splashing, you also have to pay attention to the size of the fire. If you want to eat delicious bacon, this is really a delicate job and it can't be done in a hurry."

"As soon as I saw the barbecue food prepared by my sister and her family, I knew that some of the food stored in the refrigerator must have been cleared out. It feels like eating is a big project for our family now. We have it every few days, and there are too many people every time!"
