rebirth chores

Days are like running water in a river, passing by in waves, occasionally passively splashing a few splashes, and then continuing to flow.

Jiang Yun neither supported nor opposed Xu Xiaowen's behavior of selling waste products.Xu Xiaowen took it as her acquiescence.After passing Ming Road, Xu Xiaowen no longer concealed his secrets, and started his side job openly.I no longer deliberately avoid road sections where I may meet acquaintances.After half a month, several family members in the yard knew about Xu's disgraceful side job.

You can say anything.Some praised him for being sensible, and some lamented that life was difficult.But Jiang Yun didn't blame himself for not taking good care of his son as he imagined.On the contrary, it was his two brothers who complained to her when they heard about it, because they felt that what Xu Xiaowen had done made the Jiang family lose face.Jiang Yun felt uncomfortable, and the two brothers said that if the family is in trouble, they can support them as uncles, so why let the children do such things?It not only delays learning, but also sounds bad.

Immediately, the corner of Jiang Yun's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, it sounds nice, support, won't this support be returned in the future.

"What's ugly? Xiaowen doesn't steal or rob, so why isn't it glamorous? Don't talk about those useless things!" Jiang Yun is the eldest daughter of the family. Two younger brothers are six years younger than her and 11 years younger than him. Years old, almost brought up by her, seeing that she was upset, she shut up embarrassingly.

Xu Xiaowen secretly gave her mother a thumbs up.

Although her mother doesn't like his side job, but mothers protect their shortcomings and don't allow others to pick on their son's faults, even their own brothers!

It's settled at home, and it doesn't matter at school.

Fang Yunfeng once avoided people asking him if his family was in a difficult situation, and if he needed help, just let him know.Xu Xiaowen didn't understand why Fang Yunfeng didn't seem interested in him either.It stands to reason that he didn't give Fang Yunfeng face before, but Fang Yunfeng forgave him easily, and later he rushed to solve his problems.Fang Yunfeng is not a paranoid eccentric child, if he sees one, he will be black to the end.There is never a shortage of friends around him!

If it's a woman, Xu Xiaowen absolutely doubts that Fang Yunfeng is precocious and has a crush on him. The question is, is he a man?Hmm... It doesn't mean that men are not crushed.Xu Xiaowen observed secretly, but found no similar aura on Fang Yunfeng's body.Moreover, Fang Yunfeng is too young...

The head teacher, Zhao Fang, heard the news, and once again lamented that the children of the poor are already in charge of their families!Comparing the little emperor in my family, thinking about the 100 yuan donated by Xu Xiaowen and the oolong turmoil afterwards, I made up my mind to take more care of this child in the future.I even thought of asking Xu Xiaowen to give a speech at the class meeting, telling how he struggled in difficulties, never gave up, and had the courage to be a strong child in the face of difficulties!

This thought took Xu Xiaowen seriously.

Zhao Fang obviously elevated Xu Xiaowen's actions ideologically, so as to give ideological education to the students in the class, or to earn honor for herself.She even prepared to invite the leaders to observe on the spot.

It took Xu Xiaowen a lot of effort to decline this "show off" proposal.

Zhao Fang was a little unhappy.

After school that day, Xu Xiaowen followed another tail.

"What's the matter?" Xu Xiaowen asked bluntly.

Liao Dong asked Ai Ai for a long time, and said, "You...are you really picking up trash?"

Seemingly unlikely to be sarcastic, Xu Xiaowen nodded.

"Well, can you make money?"

Xu Xiaowen guessed something, and said: "Of course. Selling waste products can subsidize a large part of households." In order not to leave an image full of money, Xu Xiaowen held back the desire to explain in detail.

After listening to Xu Xiaowen's words, Liao Dong asked very embarrassedly: "You...next time, next time...can you bring me..."

Sure enough, Xu Xiaowen guessed it right.

Of course Xu Xiaowen would not refuse to have one more comrade in the trenches.

I am already very familiar with the boss who collects waste, and the boss is also nice. Now the price he gives Xu Xiaowen is better than other places, and he often gives Xu Xiaowen some second-hand goods that he uses for free.Not to mention the half-new reference books and extracurricular reading materials, but once gave Xu Xiaowen a bookcase.It's made of solid wood, a piece of glass is broken, and the style is old, but the quality is really good.Old things use good materials.He just took Xu Xiaowen 20 yuan and delivered it to Xu Xiaowen's home with a tricycle.

Xu Xiaowen was embarrassed to take advantage of others, so he tutored his daughter's homework when she was free.His daughter is only in the third grade of elementary school, Xu Xiaowen can handle it completely.

Although it is dirty and tired to say it is not good, but the 13-year-old child has really benefited from it.People nowadays say that problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.But for a poor family, all the problems are money problems!

At first Liao Dong really couldn't let it go, but there would be one or two more meat dishes on the dinner table, and the school would charge a few dollars for miscellaneous fees, so he could pay for it by himself, and he didn't have to pick the cheapest medicine for his father... especially at night , his father moaned less in pain, and his mother smiled more.Liao Dong began to feel that he had the feeling of a man.

do not laugh!He can't support the family yet, ten years, no, seven or eight years later, he will be the pillar of the family.Now, he seems to have found a little bit of this feeling!

In the first year of Xu Xiaowen's rebirth, he changed schools, prevented his mother from selling the house, saved a small coffers, made two friends, ah, he was the first in the class in the final exam!

After the exam, no matter what age students are, they feel liberated.At the parent meeting, Jiang Yun was extraordinarily respectable, the first in the class and the top ten in the grade. I don't know how many parents lingered on Jiang Yun with envy.

After the exams, it's winter vacation, and Jiang Yun has already started shopping for new year's goods.Xu Xiaowen worked as a porter for Jiang Yun every now and then.At this time, the pork was only four yuan more than a catty.When Jiang Yun bought it, it cost thirty catties.This is because there are only two people in his family, and Xu Xiaowen doesn't like to eat these. In the past, they cost at least fifty or sixty catties.

A large basin that can be used as a bathtub for a three- or four-year-old child. Put the bought meat inside and out with salt and put it in. Put the basin in a cool place, marinate it for a few days, and then thread it with a rope and hang it on the beam of the house. Air dry naturally in a ventilated place such as above or under the eaves.

Jiang Yun had just marinated the meat when his uncle came to ask Jiang Yun to go back to her mother's house.It turned out that this year my grandfather said that he would slaughter the big fat pig raised by the family, and asked Jiang Yun to go back to help.

Xu Xiaowen became interested, he had never seen a pig slaughtered before.

Grandpa’s house has a large courtyard, the layout of which is like a courtyard in Beijing. Except for the gate, the other three sides of the courtyard are houses.When Xu Xiaowen and Jiang Yun arrived, the invited butcher, Liquid Crystal, was preparing tools.There was a sturdy man squatting by the well sharpening his knife, probably a pig butcher, with a fierce look on his face.

A few neighbors who came to help wash the basins and wash the pots.

When the cousins ​​and cousins ​​saw the elder brother coming, they surrounded him and dragged him to watch TV for a while, then dragged him out to watch the adults do things.The two aunts were boiling water, and the cousin and cousin surrounded them. The cousin probably thought it was fun to add firewood to the stove, and clamored to light the fire. The little aunt waved: "Go and play." Tell Xu Xiaowen and cousin Jiang Ping took him away.

At about noon, Xu Xiaowen heard a pig whimpering in the house.The adults drove a few children into the house, and the timid daughter-in-law also hid in the house, looking out through the crack of the door.Taking advantage of his height advantage, Xu Xiaowen didn't need to compete with his younger siblings for that door.I saw a big fat pig scurrying around in the yard, arching the grape trellis for a while, knocking over the makeshift stove for a while.The men yelled one after another: "Hold him—quick—over there—over here—go over there—"

There was a lot of chaos.Xu Xiaowen watched with relish.The elder uncle was sweating from running, and the younger uncle was accidentally kicked by a pig and fell into the dog's mud.Xu Xiaowen regretted not having a camera while watching the excitement.Otherwise, if you take pictures of these scenes, it will be interesting to watch them in a few years or more!

After tossing for a long time, the fleeing fat pig was finally subdued and could not escape his fate of being served on the dining table.Seven or eight men held down its four hooves.The pig struggled desperately and screamed miserably, Xu Xiaowen couldn't help covering his little cousin's ears with his hands—don't leave any psychological shadows, pork will be the main meat for many years to come!

Jiang Yun was very courageous, and followed behind the pig butcher with a clean basin. The aunt also brought a basin, but it was filled with hot water.

The pig butcher washed the sharpened knife with hot water and roared: "Hold on firmly—"

Xu Xiaowen quickly closed his eyes, and after the ear-piercing cry, Xu Xiaowen opened his eyes again, a large spot of blood was seen on the pig butcher's dirty apron, the pig twitched a few times, and did not move.

Lowering their heads, cousins ​​Jiang Ping and cousin Jiang Fei stared with wide eyes.Xu Xiaowen sweated a lot, it turned out that he was the most timid one from this moment on.

The most intense time passed, and people in the room came out to watch.Bloodletting, shaving, and quartering are not meat cutting.After a busy day, the lunch meal was hastily dealt with.It wasn't until dusk that I barely packed it up.

No one who came to help sent a large piece of pork or pork liver to the customer. It would not be affectionate to give money, and it would not be worthwhile.Only the butcher paid the wages.

The released pig's blood coagulated in the afternoon, and in the evening a pig's blood feast was served to the pig butcher and the neighbors who came to help.Probably after watching the bloody scene in the afternoon, Xu Xiaowen couldn't eat the sauerkraut Xuewang, so he made rice with boiling water and settled the dinner with kimchi.

On the way the eldest uncle sent their mother and son back, Jiang Yun kept nagging that the meat was at a loss, and he would not have bought the meat if he had known that he would kill the pig.

Field path, no street lights.Xu Xiaowen, who is afraid of the dark, would never dare to go alone. Although there are two adults around him, he still can't help but recall the ghost movie that Jiang Ping and Jiang Fei took him to watch in the afternoon.Long fangs, blue and black dull eyes, pale skin, bouncing posture...

Xu Xiaowen, who was frightened by himself, shuddered and leaned towards his uncle. Yang Qi is said to be able to suppress evil spirits...
