When it was almost time for Xiangyang brigade, snowflakes floated again in the sky, like catkins flying in the air, and like goose feathers falling to the world in the wind.

After winter comes, there is no work in the field. Many neighbors have two meals a day, and they slept until the end of the day and waited until lunch was almost noon after breakfast.

If the weather is good, the elderly and children who don’t need to be busy saving work points during the slack season will also go outside to bask in the sun, but I think the gloomy weather today is the opposite.

After returning the ox cart from Xiangyang Brigade, Chen Weimin pulled Xu Changqing back to their new home first. As expected, he rarely met his neighbors along the way.

When he got home, General Tie held the door. Chen Weimin opened the lock and pushed the door. He stomped his feet outside the door and signaled Xu Changqing to go in first.

While crossing the high threshold and walking in, Xu Changqing looked left and right at the yard. Before the snow in the yard was swept, he looked at the somewhat messy firewood shed.

She couldn't help laughing.

"Have you woke up late in the morning?"

"That's not there, I've changed the alarm clock." When Chen Weimin turned around and heard this, he pointed to the corridor paved with gravel, and "swept it."

"It's swept." Xu Changqing was funny and did not stop for any more. She continued to walk forward. As a result, she was about to arrive at the main room and saw something more in front of the east wing.

This is a square with a length of more than one meter wide, and its height is almost similar. The reason why the height is similar is that the snow above is covered with snow that has not yet been cleaned.

The snow piles high.

Needless to say, this square that suddenly appears in the yard in winter looks very familiar, and this is definitely an open-air ice kiln made of ice cubes.

"I haven't seen you here two days ago. What good things have you prepared to store them?" Yu, it's definitely impossible. It's not too late to get the winter fishing activities organized by the brigade.

He was a little quarrel, and he didn't think he was not interested in it, and it was impossible for him to build such a large ice kiln so quickly. "You can't even pack the pig from my aunt's house, right?"

"without."

Fortunately, there are many succulents in Changqing Garden.

"It's half."

Xu Changqing almost couldn't get there in one breath.

Are you really having sex with the pig?!

"I paid the pig tax to both of them before and agreed to leave half of them to my relatives. The two of them paid a task pig, and the other one left half of them, so the New Year is about the same."

You are amazing!

No wonder I took the initiative to help the food station to pull mission pigs. If your brigade's mission pig indicators have not been completed this year, it would be impossible to even kill more pigs.

As he said that, Chen Weimin pulled her into the east wing first. This time he entered the kitchen. There was a big firewood stove in the northeast corner of the kitchen, and the cooked pork bone soup was stuffed on the stove.

"I know you don't like drinking ginger soup, so drink a bowl of this soup to warm up first. I also specially added some seaweed shrimps, an old recipe, so you're happy to drink."

"I'll do it myself." There is a long double-layer cabinet near the south wall. This is the bowl rack cabinet made by her second uncle. It's easy to find where to put the bowls and chopsticks.

"You'd better sit inside first. I'm familiar with it, faster than you."

Seeing that Chen Weimin was rushing to do work, Xu Changqing had to give it to him. However, she did not go into the room with a large kang and a basement entrance and exit that opened a door in the north wall.

"Who did you have the inside last night?" Although it was not as hot as an ice cellar, it was not very hot. He must have gone out in the morning without adding any more firewood.

Of course, when people go out early in the morning and there is no one guarding the house, it is indeed difficult to add firewood to the stove, so they can only slowly exert their remaining heat.

"Don't burn the fire first."

Xu Changqing looked up in confusion.

"It's burning, there will be thick smoke coming out of the chimney outside. You guys will come over after seeing it. It's just right. After drinking, let's go in. I haven't slept much these days."

Can you still do this? Xu Changqing took the soup bowl handed over by Chen Weimin, glanced at him, and drank the soup first. It was indeed a familiar old recipe and old craft.

Spicy, fresh and fragrant.

I felt warm all over when I took a sip.

"Is it delicious?"

It is not as good as what you stewed in Changqing Garden before, but it also has a different taste. Xu Changqing nodded and continued to drink the soup in the bowl with both hands.

"I haven't explained it to you just now. It's not just this year, but also the remaining half of the pigs in your family every year in previous years. I have a ticket."

clear.

It is generally considered to be the most willing to keep two pigs for the New Year. If the family does not plan to do any wedding, they will basically not keep them.

Usually it is exchanged for money or for meat tickets at the food station. Even if there is a meat ticket for your own use, it is kept until the next time you hand in the task, or kill the New Year pig, slowly consume it.

Most families in Xiangyang Brigade, including her aunt's family, live a good life and have enough food, but they are absolutely reluctant to leave a pig to eat by themselves.

What's more, their brigade has more grain than Baizigou every year, so they are willing to use coarse grains to raise pigs, which is not as good as Baizigou's pig farming leaves grow by eating grass and vegetables.

I heard from her aunt that each of the two pigs raised at home this year is 300 kilograms. Now, before the twelfth lunar month has reached the standard, I will hand over the task pigs first.

A pig with three hundred kilograms is half a hundred and five kilograms. Even if half a pig with a large house was used up two days ago, remove this 15 kilograms...

"Where I received the gifts to the provincial capital that year. Of course, I didn't forget the share of my sister and second uncle. Their families were farther away than my uncle, so I would change them to air-dried meat.

Although my uncle didn’t live in the provincial capital, it was cold, so he could ask his third aunt to take the train to send it. These can be regarded as our family’s biggest favor expenses.”

"It's not that there is a gift for you." Xu Changqing put down the empty bowl, "I said, why didn't your parents doubt where the money you had come from? There are many excuses you can find."

Who said he wouldn't doubt it? Your mother-in-law is amazing. Chen Weimin laughed and shook his head, "I'll just wash it, just two bowls. There must be some gifts for you, and there are still a lot every year.

But before, my elders thought I was not young yet, and my parents also gave me New Year gifts. When we get married in the future, we will be considered to be a formal separation, so it may be different."

"If it's different, it's different. Can you still care about these?" Xu Changqing shook his head, "Don't worry, it's nothing to give it away at that time, and how much money can you spend."

"atmosphere!"

"Stop, you are a big fool. I am not your parents, and I can still be coaxed by you."

"It's your parents too."

Xu Changqing glanced at him, "My parents, our parents."

"This is almost the same. It's not that we are worried, but mainly because we have to explain some things to you first, so as not to turn back and feel that you owe favors."

"No, I just need to accept it."

"By the way, wait a moment, I'll come soon." Chen Weimin put the two washed dishes back into the bowl rack cabinet and went into the door on the north wall.

This person?

Not together?

Xu Changqing immediately followed.

"It's cold down there, you don't have to go down."

"Save something to put it first."
Chapter completed!
