Chapter 165 165. Kill pigs and share meat

After a while, the seven children went to the valley farm to watch the pig slaughter. Although the weather was cold and the road was frozen, there were still many people going to join in the fun. In the middle of winter, everyone was bored at home.

Lin Qingxi didn't go out to join in the fun. She was keeping warm on the kang in the main hall, looking at Aunt Sun and Zhou Mingmin who were concentrating on making clothes next to her. These two people have only been responsible for making clothes recently.

"Mom, how many small clothes have you and my sister made? Don't do too much. You can make some clothes for three to six months. Children grow up quickly." Lin Qingxi picked up the children's homework books these days and read them. She drew all the typos and math miscalculations, and then let the children correct them themselves.

"I understand, we know what we know. If you don't have to worry about these, you will be responsible for letting yourself eat and sleep well," Aunt Sun said with a smile.

"Okay," Lin Qingxi didn't say much and focused on correcting homework.

Aunt Sun and Zhou Mingmin made the clothes on their hands and put them away. Each of them took a basin to the valley farm to distribute pork. Lin Qingxi's work score was not low. In addition, Zhou Guilin and Aunt Sun were also good at working, and they got ten and eight job points every day. Zhou Mingmin also had six job points every day, so their family could get a lot of meat.

The team raised ten pigs, three males and seven females, and seven sows gave birth to nearly twenty pigs in a year. This time, they only killed ten big pigs, and the twenty pigs continued to raise them and killed them next year.

In the other side of the valley, almost everyone who could walk around in Zhoujiatun joined in the fun. The wives in every household took basins and buckets to hold their pork.

"Guilin family, you two are here, how are Dr. Lin? Should she change more meat back this year?" As soon as Aunt Sun and his daughter arrived at the valley ground, many people gathered around to say hello to them, but what they said was related to Lin Qingxi.

"You must, our Xi girl told me two days ago that we should change more meat to make bacon. Then we will send some to my family with our elder brother. Our elder brother and sister-in-law work in the imperial capital. Both of them are very busy and it is inconvenient to buy vegetables. Our three sisters and sisters-in-law followed Xi girl to play in the imperial capital. Our elder brother and sister took them to play all the fun things in the imperial capital, and they bought things for them home. Our family's conditions were there. We could only kill pigs during the Chinese New Year, so we bought more meat to make bacon and sent it to them."

Aunt Sun said with a smile. She was really grateful to Lin Qingxi's elder brother and sister-in-law. She couldn't bear to buy the things she brought home after seeing them. It took dozens of dollars to buy them. Xu Ling bought them with her skirt and leather shoes without blinking her eyes. Naturally, they couldn't be stingy.

"That's right, the skirts and small leather shoes that your girl Lu are wearing are not cheap. That is, Dr. Lin's brother and sister-in-law are both employees and families who are willing to buy them. Look at our work in the fields, one person only earns more than ten or twenty yuan a year. Who would be willing to use the hard-earned money for a few years to buy clothes and shoes that cannot be worn in the workplace," said the man, after saying that, and he laughed, looking at him, envious of Aunt Sun for marrying such a good daughter-in-law.

"Yes! I am willing to put my heart in my heart, so I am naturally willing to buy meat," said Aunt Sun with an expression that I thought so. She is also one of the thrifty people.

"Go and queue up! The meat is divided," the two were chatting vigorously. Another aunt saw that the other side had started queuing up and splitting the meat. She quickly reminded everyone. Then, they were still chatting and strode over and started queuing.

"We are all lined up! Our team has a good harvest this year. The grain will be distributed before it snows. Today, we will kill pigs and share meat. We will put fish in the pond in two days. We have worked hard for a year just to have a good New Year and to be able to have a little more full next year. Today, each family will share meat and get lots. When the number is caught, they will be raised according to the number. No one is allowed to gossip," Zhou Guitang stood on the platform and looked at the people below, shouting loudly at the people below.

Hearing his words, they lined up to draw lots. Everyone was very obedient. No one dared to make trouble at this critical moment. If they were to share their flesh, they would definitely be beaten up by the men, women, young and old in the village.

"No. 5, Zhou Guijiang No. 10, Zhou Guihe No. 6, Lin Qingxi No. 1, Zhou Guilin No. 15, Zhou Guiping No. 3, Zhou Guishan No. 9..." As a person draws lots, some are happy and some are worried. Those with the number are in front are very happy and can choose a piece of better meat first. Those with the number are in the back are a little worried that the person in front will pick up all the good meat.

"Now, please come up and choose meat from Dr. Lin's family," said Zhou Guitang, and Aunt Sun took the number plate and went up. She chose a piece of pork belly on her waist according to Lin Qingxi's instructions. This kind of meat is the best to use for bacon.

After Lin Qingxi finished choosing No. 1, she was number two. When she got No. 2, a middle-aged aunt immediately went up to pick two pig's trotters and a small piece of fat meat, and then No. 3.

Each household sent someone to pick a piece of meat they like. When everyone finished picking it, there were only some pork in the chopping board, including scraps such as pig heads and pig trotters. Most people picked the meat and took it home. At least a small number of people who could live in the family stayed in place, intending to get the money and get the work points to exchange for more meat to eat.

"Sister-in-law, what are Dr. Lin going to change back this year? Doctor Lin or exchange for money or work points?" Zhou Guitang looked at Aunt Sun who was staying there and asked quickly.

"Brother, let's exchange the money. We have all asked for these pairs of pigs to go into the water. We have also asked for the remaining eight pig heads. Then take two and four pig trotters home to stew the soup for Xi to replenish them. How much does it cost?" Aunt Sun glanced at the chopping board, thinking of the braised pig water and pork head meat made by Lin Qingxi, and couldn't help swallowing.

"Okay, Mingcheng, calculate how much money you have to pay for your aunt," Zhou Mingcheng is Zhou Jiyuan's father. He has always been grateful to Lin Qingxi for teaching her little daughter. Although he didn't take her daughter with him when he went to the emperor, he knew that it was because her daughter's grandmother had gone and her daughter had no time to go, so he would not have bad thoughts about Lin Qingxi because of this.

"I know," Zhou Mingcheng responded without raising his head. After two or three minutes, he looked up at Aunt Sun and said, "Auntie, pigs and pig heads are not very valuable. The ones you chose are about 200 kilograms, some are 50 cents per kilogram, some are 40 cents per kilogram, and pig trotters are 60 cents per kilogram. I'll give you all one kilogram of feathers. Look, it costs 100 yuan."

In fact, Zhou Mingcheng took a trick. Although he had won the discount for 50 cents per pound, he not only had the weight of each type different, but he also wiped out the fraction. This kind of thing was allowed by Zhou Guitang and several other cadres. Everyone was very grateful to Lin Qingxi for not going to accompany the army and continued to stay in the brigade to work in the health center.
