This question is difficult to answer. The pig farm they jointly owned was a big one, and it was obvious that there were many things that needed to be resolved. Song Xianping and Zheng Deyang decided to wait for Zhao Qingsong to come back.
Several people still exchanged letters. Zhao Qingsong originally planned to return during the New Year, but because of Brother Zhao's affairs, he returned early.
As soon as he returned home and settled his eldest brother's affairs, Zhao Qingsong went to work on the pig farm.
When Li Rong came back from vacation, he became even busier and stayed away from home all day.
If they want to put their pig farm on the map, Zhao Qingsong and the others have to find land to build a pig farm.
Their pig farm is very large and requires a large area of land.
Zhao Qingsong first went to apply for a land, the reason being that it would be used for breeding.
The land was not applied for until two days before the Chinese New Year. It is a mountain near Dajiang Village. The land there was originally a fifth-class land.
It turns out that when the production team is working, the land will be divided into several grades, and the best ones are the most fertile and good for planting.
The fifth-grade land is the worst. The land is very hard, far away from water sources, and difficult to cultivate.
Zhao Qingsong and Song Xianping went to see it and felt that the mountain was just right.
Before the Chinese New Year, Zhao Qingsong and Song Xianping hurriedly went to find the master who built the house and made iron fences to make arrangements first, negotiate the matter, and start work immediately after the Chinese New Year.
Today's pig farm dividends are more than 10,000, which is similar to what Zhao Qingsong did last year.
Money at home cannot be deposited on the card, and wads of cash are hidden in the cabinet.
It’s New Year’s Eve.
In 1979, it felt colder than in previous years.
Li Rong guarded the stove and didn't want to go anywhere.
How much policies have been relaxed and how many traditions are being restored can be seen from the Chinese New Year.
On the thirtieth day of the year.
Father Zhao took Zhao Qingyang, Zhao Qingsong and several grandsons to the mountain to offer sacrifices.
The grass at the place of sacrifice was taller than the people. They were not the first to go. When they arrived, someone was already weeding.
Father Zhao had the foresight to grab two shovels before setting off.
Just in time to come in handy.
Two young workers, Zhao Qingsong and Zhao Qingyang, joined the weeding team.
It took a long time to find the original place of worship.
This is an unobstructed temple built with adobe bricks and stones, a temple half as tall as a man.
At the time of "Destroying the Four Olds", worship was considered a feudal superstition, and such temples or ancestors could not continue to carry out sacrificial activities.
The temple was smashed.
The place where Zhao Qingsong and the others currently worship is also in a state of ruin.
After weeding away the weeds and moving the bricks, it was now restored, but it still needs later repairs.
When they returned home after the sacrifice, the women at home were busy in the kitchen preparing today's meal.
Men don't go into the kitchen, they are busy repairing the house, and they have to put up couplets, window grilles...
Daniel and his two younger brothers did not feel cold when they came back from the mountain, and they took a broom to clean the yard.
There is no debris in the yard, so there is no need to clean it.
After Daniel finished sweeping the house as if for fun, he threw the broom handle behind the door, waved his hand, and took his two younger brothers out to play.
Li Rong bought a lot of firecrackers for them to play with, and specifically asked Daniel to keep an eye on the little guy and not let him get too close to the firecrackers.
Daniel patted his chest and promised that he would protect his younger brother, so Li Rong let them play with him.
At this moment, he was already blowing up cannons with others outside.
If nothing else happens, they will also fry cow shit!
The adults at home are always working, busy here and there;
No matter which door you go to in the whole village, you can hear the sounds of busy work inside.
The chimneys of every house are not idle, white smoke is rising from morning to night, and they are full of incense.
Li Rong and the others prepared all the dishes in the morning, and also prepared cold dishes.
Put the pot on fire and simmer the soup.
Zhao's mother went out to find some children.
While the sun is shining at noon, let them wash their hair and take a bath quickly to celebrate the New Year cleanly.
Li Rong and the others had to stay in the kitchen in the afternoon and didn't wash up. The men finished their work and were urged to wash their hair and take a shower.
When the little guy saw that his cousin washed his hair by himself, he also shouted to wash it himself.
Even after the New Year, the little guy was only over three years old. Li Rong knew that he couldn't wash himself, but when the little guy yelled, she let him go.
But Li Rong brought a small bench over and sat on it, waiting for the little guy to call his mother when he couldn't do it on his own.
Sure enough, the little guy took the shampoo, and soon he closed his eyes tightly and shouted: "Ah, Mom~ Mom~ I can't open my eyes!"
Li Rong laughed several times before rolling up her sleeves and helping the little guy wash his hair.
Except for the three women who cook, the rest of the family have taken turns to finish washing.
Li Rong was afraid that the little one would catch cold, so she carried the little one into the house to wipe her hair, warm herself by the fire, and wear new clothes.
When the little guy came back just now, he still had grass-green dots on his body, and Er Niu had more lumps on his body. You knew what they were without asking.
When you get closer you can smell the smell of cow dung!
When Zhao's mother found them, they were still frying cow dung. She was angry and laughing. She pulled the big cow's ears several times along the way, saying that he was so old and still didn't set a good example, so she took the younger one to fry the cow.
shit.
Da Niu was unconvinced and muttered in a low voice: "Everyone is blowing up cow shit. If we don't blow it up, the bombs will be useless."
After returning home, Zhao's mother told Li Rong and He Xing the original words. They laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.
It's really helpless and funny.
Zhao's mother and He Xing were outside collecting water from the well to wash clothes.
Zhao's mother washes Zhao's father.
He Xing washed her husband and two sons.
Zhao Qingsong washes his own and the little one's.
Li Rong lived in the south in her last life, but only now did she realize that even if it snows in the north and even the rivers freeze, the well water still flows and is warm when it is pumped out.
In the afternoon, I felt it was almost time, so I started making hot dishes.
The chickens and ducks used for sacrifice in the morning had to be washed in water when they were brought back.
Wash off any ash and dust that may be on it before serving.
Once the hot dishes are done, you can start eating.
We put together ten bowls of meat and vegetables and three soups.
The old Eight Immortals table was filled to the brim.
While eating, it is inevitable to chat.
Mother Zhao thought it was funny when she thought about what happened today. She ate her meal and said, "You guys don't know how funny it is to find them at the entrance of the village. It's so funny that this guy Daniu took them to fry cow shit. I saw Danniu from a distance."
He took a bomb and stuck it in the cow's dung. The two little ones came over to watch, and the cannon was lit. The big cow picked up An An and ran away, while the younger brothers stayed behind."
Everyone was so happy.
Li Rong laughed and cried: "No wonder Er Niu has so much cow shit on his body."
Da Niu's mouth was full of oil, and he showed his big teeth: "I promised my second aunt that I will take good care of my little brother~"
He Xing couldn't help laughing: "Er Niu is also a little brother."
"That's different, Erniu can run away." Daniel looked at his younger brother, "right? Brother."
Erniu gnawed on the chicken legs and nodded: "An'an is the youngest, I'm fine,"
He raised his elbow in front of his nose and took a deep breath: "I also smell good now!"
