Be a charter woman in the chronology

Several young men were sweating all over before they caught the pig. The pig butcher swiftly took out a hemp rope with thick wrists to trap its limbs, and with the help of the young men, hung the pig upside down on the frame.

The strength of the pig's struggle gradually weakened, and it couldn't stop panting "huh, huh, huh". The pig butcher took a sip of wine in his mouth and sprayed it on the sharpened sharp knife, then raised his eyes to look at the pig's neck. After looking at it, he found the right place and stabbed it with the knife. The pig's blood spattered, and the big fat pig, which was severely injured due to the pain, began to struggle violently again.

"Bring the basin quickly, pig blood is a good thing, hurry up!" The pig butcher wiped his face with his hand and greeted loudly, and soon Zhou Ying put the big wooden basin prepared earlier under the pig's neck , turned around and said to Tong Siyu: "Big girl, go to the stove to see if the hot water is almost ready, if it is ready, please ask the brothers who came to help to carry it out and pour it into the yellow bucket." .

Zhou Ying was so happy that there was a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows. She put the wooden basin and poured water in the yard to greet the helpers to sit. Her family hadn't killed the New Year pig for several years.

Tong Siyu took his mother's errand and ran into the kitchen in three or two steps. It was the first time she saw a pig butcher at such a big age. Although she wanted to eat pork very much, the pig was still small when Tong Siyu first passed through. After raising it for so many months, I feel a little emotional. Since I can't just watch it die, I might as well go into the kitchen and be an ostrich.

The hot water on the stove has been boiled, and the pigs in the yard have completely stopped moving. A large basin is filled with pig blood. Zhou Ying pours in the cornmeal that she specially bought a few days ago and mixes it evenly before preparing to steam the pigs. Blood.

Steamed pig's blood is also a good dish. The steamed pig's blood is sliced ​​and fried with garlic.

With the help of the young guy, the half-person-high yellow bucket was soon filled with boiling water. The big guy helped put the dead pig off the shelf and threw it into the yellow bucket. This process is called scalding the pig. After half an hour of scalding, the pig butcher will take a millstone and start to shed the pig hair.

As time passed, the pig butcher's head was covered with sweat, and there were more and more pork piled on the wooden boards beside him, and the small courtyard of Tong's family was also crowded with people.

Zhou Ying was a little worried, fearing that there were too many people and Tong Zhenhui would fall, so she helped him walk slowly for two laps, greeted the villagers, and let him sit in the wheelchair not to get up, and told the excited Siwu to keep a close eye on him. looking at his dad.

Tong Zhenguo scratched his head amusedly and helplessly, followed by his son's wide-eyed and small-eyed "puchi" and laughed.

The yard was bustling with activity, and Tong Zhenguo felt that his heart had opened up a lot. After years of leg injuries, the family was very deserted.

"Zhenguo, your leg seems to be recovering well, but don't worry, you have to take good care of it, and you can go out when you are good." Captain Tong squatted next to Tong Zhenguo's wheelchair with a dry cigarette in his hand. Looking at the slaughtering of pigs in the yard, he smacked his mouth from time to time while talking, his face was full of comfort.

"Brother Tong, I know. I won't go out if my legs are bad. I've been waiting for so many years. I don't need to rush this time now." Tong Zhenguo smiled and turned to the spectators. The vigorous Tong Siwu said: "Siwu, go and move a stool for your Uncle Tong."

"Hey, let's go." Tong Siwu had just taken two steps when he saw a young man walking up to the captain with a smile on his face and saying loudly, "Uncle, the pigs are finished. Come and divide them up. The villagers are all waiting."

The captain knocked Han Yan on the threshold, and quickly stood up: "Young man, don't worry, just come."

"Ai Dang, did you bring the scale? Here are a few lads and let's weigh the pork. According to the rules, half of them are shaking the country, and half of our villagers are exchanging centimeters." Captain Tong took a sip of his cigarette and looked at the board. Putting the pork on the table, he said cheerfully: "Zhenguo's pigs are well raised, and the meat is good at first glance."

"Bring it here, come, Xiao Wu, Xiao Tian helped my uncle weigh it." Tong Aidang is the secretary of the village, holding a dime book and a pen in his hand while weighing the two young men, he writes and draws in the book .

"Okay, the net weight of Zhenguo's pig is 450 two catties. Now half of it is reserved for them. The meat folks here can come and exchange it. Line up and come one by one. If anyone makes trouble for me, I will exchange the meat today." Get the hell out of here!" Tong Aidang was talking but kept staring at Mrs. Wang and Widow Sun who were muttering.

Tong Siyu and Zhou Ying couldn't care less about changing the meat, they were busy moving their own meat into the house, when they took a sudden look into the crowd, they saw Tong Xiaoling.

Tong Xiaoling looks quite normal this time, without any fancy dress, wearing ordinary gray cloth clothes and her hair is simply coiled on her head, no matter who is around her, she greets politely, some women don't have a clue The words were ugly, and she didn't get angry and didn't reply back. She looked at people with red eyes and grievances. She looked like a bunny, so well-behaved. In this way, the women couldn't continue talking. They were bullying, so they had to shrug their mouths and walk away from her.

Tong Siyu looked at Tong Xiaoling's white lotus and was speechless for a while. Now that this woman knows that she can't get through, she is starting to soften. Whatever she wants to do, if she dares to bump into her hand again, she will be eaten by Tong Xiaoling. Can't walk around.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Tong Siyu shook his fist at Tong Xiaoling.

The smile on Tong Xiaoling's face froze for a moment, and she looked away uncomfortably, but she was mad with hatred in her heart, that damn Tong Siyu dared to threaten her.

The previous incident was indeed her carelessness. She thought that everything would not change when she was reborn. She could still go to university and meet Gu Qing as a rich wife. The change of Tong Siyu made her confuse and did a lot of stupid things. But this is not the most important.

The important thing is that she knows that the college entrance examination will resume soon, and she knows what is the most profitable thing to do. Her advantage is that she knows more information, and even she can vaguely remember a lot of the first year's college entrance examination questions. How about it, at best it is to be a driver, and the profession of driver will be nothing after being popular now.

Tong Siyu's yellow-faced woman wants to compare with her, let's talk about it in the next life!

Thinking of this, Tong Xiaoling smiled even more happily, and looked towards Tong Siyu with a bit of complacency, only to see that woman was busy working with the meat in front of her without raising her head, she was full of pettiness, and she was completely unworthy of the stage.

In a blink of an eye, the meat-changing team left a lot, and soon it was Tong Xiaoling's turn.

Tong Xiaoling smiled sweetly, and said softly with a smile: "Uncle Aidang, my mother asked me to exchange ten centimeters of meat, please trouble Uncle Aidang."

Tong Aidang felt uncomfortable when he heard this sound, looked up and quickly lowered his head and said lightly: "It's you girl, your family has caused too much trouble these days, after Murakami's discussion, you can change the meat this year. Your family can only exchange five centimeters, if you don’t have enough meat, go to the town to buy it yourself, if it doesn’t stop next year..." Tong Aidang stopped here, still saving some face for Tong Xiaoling.

Mrs. Wang was right behind Tong Xiaoling, and when she heard what Tong Aidang said, she covered her mouth and laughed, and even wanted to say: "That's right, her house is very lively this year."

"Oh, it's Mrs. Wang, and you are also five centimeters this year." Mrs. Wang was like a chicken being strangled by the neck, and she couldn't laugh immediately, with a slumped old face.

Only then did the people around laugh, and Tong Siyu and Zhou Ying were also very happy. This Secretary Tong was unexpectedly a stubborn one, and Mrs. Wang was out of luck.

It was almost dark at the end of the meat exchange. After everyone in the yard had left, Zhou Ying took two pieces of meat to the team leader and the secretary's house.

She sincerely thanked the team leader and the secretary for their one-year care. Of course, the two accepted it after a few back and forth according to the usual practice. Zhou Ying walked back smiling with the gifts from the two families.

If you hear other people's sour words on the road, just pretend you didn't hear them, and greet them enthusiastically, making the speaker feel embarrassed.

Zhou Yan sat by the door picking vegetables and saw Zhou Ying quickly "bah" and said: "Some people are just used to flattering, their bones are not as heavy as bones, look at their frivolous appearance."

Zhou Ying replied loudly without being annoyed: "Some people don't know whether their bones are heavy or not, but their faces are very thick. I see that all the people in Tongjia Village are not as thick-skinned as you." just go.

Zhou Yan angrily threw down the food in her hand and wanted to curse, Tong Xiaoling hurriedly dragged him in, complaining: "Mom, why are you saying these things, now the captain and the secretary don't like our family, don't make trouble Oh boy, bear with it for now, there will be plenty of opportunities to vent it later."

"Ling'er, you have to live up to your mother." He raised his hand and wiped his tears as he spoke.

Tong Xiaoling endured the boredom in her heart, picked up the vegetables thrown by her mother and went into the house, but she wished that she could take the college entrance examination immediately, go to school to make money, and leave this place where she was ashamed.

But she didn't even think about it, was this face lost to her by someone else?It's not something she did herself.

It was the New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and Tong Siyu was still lying on the bed early in the morning and was lazy, when he heard the sound of children playing snowball fights and setting off firecrackers outside the yard, he was very happy.

Tong Siyu had a smile on his face when he heard that.

"Big girl, get up, let's make glutinous rice balls with mom." Zhou Ying raised the stove, supported Tong Zhenguo to sit down and warmed himself by the fire, and stood at the kitchen door calling Tong Siyu.

"Come here", Tong Siyu put on a new padded jacket, neatly braided his hair into a whip, scooped hot water in the pot with a wooden basin, stood in the yard and washed his face, looked around and asked: "Hey, mom, that kid Siwu hasn't gotten up yet?"

"He woke up early, so happy to go out to play with the children in the village," Zhou Ying said with a chuckle.

"It's good to be young, not afraid of the cold at all," Tong Siyu poured water into the vegetable garden, shivering involuntarily.

"Come in and warm yourself by the fire," Tong Zhenguo was weaving a small basket in his hand, watching Tong Siyu shivering and said hastily.

"Come here, come here", Tong Siyu happily replied, at this moment someone in the village started to set off firecrackers "cracking" and it was very lively.
