Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Xu Chenghou knew that his son's house was building a new house, and it would not look good to add some old-fashioned furniture.

So I made a special trip to Songjianghe, and chatted with him for a long time under the pretext that I needed to make furniture at home.

After returning, he made furniture for Xu Shiyan according to the most popular style at present.

Wardrobe, standing cabinet, chest of drawers, coffee table, cupboard, writing desk, kang table, side stand, chair, stool.

When Xu Shiyan came back from the mountain, the old man had already made a few big pieces, and the rest happened to be busy with his father.

In mid-January, Xu Shixiang came back from winter vacation.

I also carried back a set of fine porcelain tea sets from JDZ to Xu Shiyan. It was very beautiful, and it was considered a congratulatory gift for Xu Shiyan.

When the fifth child came back, the three of them made furniture together, or helped Xu Shixian clean up the house.

I have to prepare feed for the open-mouthed beasts at home, and I am busy every day anyway.

With such a busy schedule, it will soon be the end of the year.

The team slaughtered pigs and shared the meat, and everyone started to slaughter pigs and make tofu, busy preparing for the New Year.

The Xu family caught two pigs at the beginning of spring, and they raised them for a year, weighing just 200 catties. They were fed with scallion seeds.

Xu Shiyan discussed with his wife, one of the two pigs was killed a year ago, and the other was killed after the beginning of spring.

In the spring, I am busy with work, I am tired, and the food is not good and there is no oily water. It is better to kill it at that time and keep more meat for myself.

Since Xu Shiyan moved to Donggang, he has been taken care of by the brigade leaders and the neighbors in the neighborhood. No matter what happens at home, they will come to help.

So Xu Shiyan planned to invite people from Yu Shouguang and other brigades to kill the pigs years ago, as well as neighbors and friends who got along well.

Killing pigs and entertaining guests is a traditional custom, Su Anying doesn't care about these, Xu Shiyan can do whatever he says.

Therefore, Xu Shiyan notified Yu Shouguang and others in advance to let them come to eat at home on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

He also made a special trip to the Han family to invite the old man of the Han family and the brothers Han Limin.

It happened that Han Liwei, the youngest of the Han family, was going home to visit relatives, so Xu Shiyan said, let's go there together to join in the fun.

On the morning of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Jianshe, Yang Chunming, Huang Shengli and others all came to Xu's house.

They went into the pigsty, grabbed a pig that had been starving for a day and hadn't fed it, tied it to a bench and killed it.

Everyone started to clean up together, and the house was also busy cooking.

Xu Shiqin, who works in a tailor shop, had to ask for leave to help at home.

The tailor shop, in fact, will not accept work after the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. As the year approaches, who doesn't have anything to do?

So Xu Shiqin asked for leave, and the master readily agreed.

The men were busy slaughtering and shaving pigs, disemboweling them, dismantling them and chopping their bones.

The women cut sauerkraut, picked up pig blood, cleaned the pigs and prepared them for filling sausages with blood.

Originally, Su Anying was going to clean the pigs and unload the goods, but Xu Jinping, who was lying on the kang, woke up and cried. She had no choice but to comfort the child first.

When Xu Shiqin saw it, he took a pot of pig intestines and went to the water well in the yard, intending to press the water up to clean it.

Beside the pressurized well, a man in a grass-green uniform was carrying a bucket of water to leave, and the two walked to meet each other.

"You want to fetch water? Let me help you."

When the other party saw Xu Shiqin, he hurriedly put down the bucket, and stepped forward to help Xu Shiqin carry the pigs to the pressurized well.

Then press the handle hard, and the clear well water rushes up.

Xu Shiqin didn't know each other, but he also knew that this should be his brother's friend.

She must be grateful for the help. So he smiled at the other party, "Thank you."

The young man on the opposite side glanced at Xu Shiqin, froze for a moment, then nodded.

"You wash first, if you still fetch water after a while, call me."

Xu Shiqin and Xu Shiyan look a bit like each other, and they are brother and sister at a glance.

The other party didn't say anything else, and without waiting for Xu Shiqin's answer, he turned around and left with the bucket.

Xu Shiqin was a little unresponsive. Looking at the tall and straight back of the other party, he was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled, moved the basin to the side, and began to clean the pig's intestines.

When Su Anying came out after feeding her daughter, Xu Shiqin had already rubbed the pig's intestines twice with plant ash, and was about to wash them again with some alkali.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law worked together, washed it with vinegar once more, and rinsed it with clean water twice before taking it back for blood sausage filling.

If you want to kill a pig for a treat, you must eat authentic pig-killing dishes.

Sour cabbage meat and blood sausage, and then a platter of pig offal, pig head meat and so on.

The dishes don't need to be exquisite, as long as they are generous in quantity, open to the taste, and two bottles of good wine, it will be very good.

There was a table on the kang in the east room and a table on the ground, and everyone gathered together to exchange cups, drink and punch, it was extremely lively.

Han Wenzhong is very famous in the field, not to mention that his three sons are all outstanding, and Yu Shouguang and others are familiar with them.

Several older people got together, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.

When Xu Chenghou and Han Wenzhong met for the first time, they felt that they were in the right temper, chatting while drinking.

Han Wenzhong praised Xu Shiyan for being filial, capable and kind-hearted, while Xu Chenghou praised the three sons of the Han family for their promise.

Anyway, men drank wine and praised each other.

The table of young people on the ground was also very lively. Although Han Limin, Yang Chunming and others had never met before, a friend of a friend is a friend.

Northeast people never know each other at the wine table, as long as they drink together today, they will be friends from now on, and it’s fine to talk about things.

"Limin, where did your younger brother serve as a soldier?

The young man looks really good, do you have a date? If there is no match, I will introduce my sister-in-law to him. "

Yang Chunming drank a lot of wine and got a little heady, so he hooked up with Han Limin and asked about Han Lizhi's situation with a smile.

Han Limin didn't drink less, and laughed immediately when he heard about his younger brother.

"You mean the third child in my family? He's only twenty-two, he's going to be a soldier at eighteen, and he's in Shenyang.

I don't have a partner, I'm still young, don't worry. "

Generally speaking, those who are still young and not in a hurry are mostly excuses to shirk.

As soon as Yang Chunming heard it, he understood that his sister-in-law was a rural girl, and the Han family participated in the field and belonged to the workers.

The shoulders of the two families are not evenly aligned, he is being reckless.

"Yes, yes, brother is young and has a bright future, so it's not good to think about it too early."

Yang Chunming said something along the way, then poured wine for Han Limin, and the two continued to drink.

As the protagonist being talked about, Han Liwei didn't drink much alcohol.

He has good hearing, despite how lively the room is, everyone is talking quite loudly, and he can still hear the conversations between his eldest brother and others.

Han Liwei lowered his eyes and looked at the blood sausage in the sauerkraut bowl in front of him.

"Brother Xu, come, let me toast you.

In the past few days since I came back, I often hear my father mention Brother Xu, saying that Brother Xu is a good person, smart and clever, with a real heart, and he is worth asking. "

Han Liwei picked up his wine glass, approached Xu Shiyan, and toasted Xu Shiyan with a smile.

Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and quickly picked up his wine glass.

"Hey, he's just an old farmer, a little smart and not much.

In comparison, no one is as capable as the three of you brothers. I, Uncle Han, are so lucky.

Come on, let's not respect each other, let's go together. "

After finishing speaking, the two clinked their wine glasses, and each drank the wine in the glass.

"Brother Xu, how many brothers do you have? I don't even know each other." Han Liwei asked casually.
