As if she had discovered a new world, Mother Ma did not even enter the office and left quietly.

Uncle Fugui sent the cans out, and the big stone that was weighing on him finally fell away.

Since returning from the county town, he had trouble sleeping and eating. When he thought about the idea of ​​stealing, he felt extremely guilty towards Xue Ning.

I always feel that my life is over and there is no way I can save it.

Incomparable inner suffering.

After several days of anxiety, Uncle Fugui finally plucked up the courage to use his family's remaining savings to buy canned food for Xue Ning. This would alleviate some of the guilt in his heart and at least make him feel better.

Uncle Fugui returned home in such a happy mood.

When her daughter-in-law saw her at home, she said, "You picked up money today. You were so happy, but you were still looking sad when you went out in the morning."

Uncle Fugui said: "You have nothing to do, hurry up and cook, make something delicious today, take out the cornmeal that is about to grow worms and make pancakes to eat."

The wealthy daughter-in-law was reluctant, "What are you going to eat? I got some wild vegetables to eat. What's the situation at home now? I've had one meal but not another, so I have to save some money. By the way, next month my brother

My daughter-in-law has given birth, and since I am a proud sister, I am thinking of buying two pieces of cloth to send here, and then you can see if you can go to the town and get some cheap cloth."

Uncle Fugui was stunned for a moment and looked a little uneasy, "Two pieces of cloth are worth a lot of money. Our family doesn't have much money left, so we can just give it a pound of cornmeal left at home."

The wealthy daughter-in-law was dissatisfied, "What are you talking about? She is my brother-in-law. How can a sister be so stingy?"

Uncle Fugui couldn't hold it back and yelled, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. If you have some money or good things at home, your mother's family should consider it. What are your family's conditions? Do you want to live your life? Anyway, this is

Things cannot depend on you."

After Uncle Fugui finished speaking, he left and stopped talking to his wife.

The wealthy daughter-in-law had a puzzled look on her face, "You are so heartless. When did I ever think about your family? You are really crazy."

The quarrels between the two were common in the village, nothing unusual.

Soon it was time for Xue Ning's pigs to be put out of the market.

After raising pigs for more than half a year, the piglets that were only a few dozen kilograms have turned into fat pigs.

On a day when everyone in the village was on vacation, Xue Ning told the village chief about his plans to kill the pig.

She raised two pigs, one of which she wanted to sell to the buying station. The price at the buying station was 60 cents per catty.

Xue Ning didn't plan to buy the remaining pig, but planned to kill it to eat. However, there was a lot of meat from such a big pig, and she would definitely not be able to finish it. She could sell it to the villagers.

When the village chief heard that the pigs were going to be killed, he had a plan.

"Your Aunt Chen and I are getting married soon. Can I buy dozens of kilograms of pork from you then?"

Xue Ning agreed immediately, "No problem. I will definitely keep you close to the village chief when the time comes, so don't worry!"

Everyone in the village knows that Xue Ning's pigs were slaughtered. Now Xue Ning is quite prestigious in the village. Firstly, she has led the villagers to make a fortune. Secondly, she is also the village clerk and scorekeeper, so she is half of it.

When you are an official, you can easily offend others.

No, the strong young people in the village came to help early, and some ladies and aunts also came over.

There are many people who need help killing pigs.

Those who boil water to remove pig hair, and those who cook for the helpers. All in all, there must be at least ten people.

However, more than twenty people came to Xue Ning today.

Mu Chenghe was also there, and Xue Ning was waiting for him to come back from vacation before preparing to kill the pig, otherwise it would be impossible without a man at home.

Uncle Fugui came even earlier, and even Liu Mingyuan, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came over to help with the pigs. The scene was very lively, just like celebrating the New Year.

There was a large scale for weighing pigs in the village. Mu Chenghe went to get it. A few young men tied the pig and put it on it. Once they weighed it, they said, "Hey, boy, this is incredible, it weighs a full 300 kilograms!"

This made the villagers dumbfounded, and they all gathered around the pig and looked at it again and again.

You must know that this pig has only been raised for half a year. The pigs raised by other families for half a year are not enough to weigh 100 kilograms, but the pig raised by Xue Ning has grown to 300 kilograms. This is really scary.

The villagers were amazed and admired Xue Ning even more.

They immediately asked her for advice on how to raise pigs, and they also became more confident in raising chickens. Pigs can be raised so big, and chickens will definitely not be any worse. Maybe a 20-pound chicken will appear by then.

But it’s even worse.

While the villagers were discussing, they took the pigs out of the pigsty, tied one end and sent it to the purchasing station, and kept the other one at home to be killed. The village chief also specially ordered a tractor to drive over.

When we arrived at the buying station, everyone in the buying station was also surprised. Looking at the round pig, it was really majestic.

Xue Ning became famous in the commune all of a sudden. Whenever anyone mentioned the Red Star Brigade, they would say: "Oh, they have a female educated youth who is very good at raising pigs. A pig can be raised to 300 kilograms in half a year. It's incredible."

Already."

As soon as this reputation spread, neighboring brigades came to Xue Ning every day to ask for advice on how to raise pigs. Even the leaders of the commune asked Xue Ning to teach pig raising knowledge.

But that’s all for another day.

Let’s talk about selling pigs at the buying station. Originally, the buying station paid 60 cents per catty for pigs, but they gave Xue Ning 70 cents. Just because Xue Ning’s pigs were big and fat enough, an extra cent was not a loss.

A pig was sold for 210 yuan. Excluding the cost of 40 to 50 yuan, the net profit was about 160 yuan. This transaction was quite cost-effective.

After returning from the purchasing station, my family was ready to kill the pigs.

The pig butcher in the village sharpened his knife, and Mu Chenghe put on an apron and worked with several men to kill the pigs.

The butcher raised his knife and dropped the pig's blood, and the pig's blood flowed into the basin prepared in advance.

Then he started to punch holes in the pig's trotters and blow air into the pig to make the whole pig body bulge. Then he poured boiling water on it and started to scrape the pig's hair with a scraper.

Muchenghe shaved pig hair with the butcher. Although Muchenghe didn't have as much experience in shaving pig hair as the butcher, he learned quickly, and in the end he was able to shave pig hair faster than the butcher.

After the pig hair is shaved clean, the pig's belly is disemboweled and its internal organs are cleaned out. The whole pig is divided into two and placed on the chopping board.

The butcher and Muchenghe were responsible for dividing the pork.

Villagers who need to buy meat can come and choose first. Xue Ning does not make any money from the villagers. The price given to them is the same as that at the purchasing station, 70 cents per catty.

First, the village chief bought a quarter of pork, weighing fifty or sixty pounds, and planned to save the meat for a banquet.

Then the villagers came to buy whatever they needed.

Some want half a catty, some want one catty, and some want three catties. None of them are much.

In the end, a total of 150 kilograms were sold.

The remaining pork was cut into small pieces and put into baskets to be stored later.

There was blood everywhere in the pig-killing area, and Muchenghe was not idle either. He was sweeping and mopping the floor, as busy as a spinning top.

An aunt said to Xue Ning: "Your family is a hard-working man who works quickly and carefully. Xue Zhiqing is so lucky!" I like the group favorite of the era. Xiao Jiaojiao makes the rough guy's heart tremble. Please collect it:
