This is a serious local pig. If you kill it, you will definitely be able to sell it for a high price. At the price I am giving you now, you will not be able to buy it no matter where you go. "

Grandma Shen once again lowered the original price by one piece. Originally, Grandma Shen didn't want to take this kind of loss, but after all, it was her side who was responsible for this matter, and it was right to give others some compensation.

"You guys are straightforward, so I won't bite and hold on, but I have one more condition..." Dao San secretly calculated an account, the two pigs were given two yuan per catty, and the combined weight was almost 1000 catties. Compared with the original price, I can almost earn nearly [-] yuan more.

Although it is more profitable than taking all these half-grown pigs away, if the owner insists on not selling them, I can't do anything to him.

But after all, I still felt unwilling, so I asked for an additional condition.

"You say..." Grandpa Shen didn't respond, but listened alertly to what he had to say first.

"When your batch of half-grown pigs grow up, you can't sell them to others. You have to keep them for me."

"It's easy to say, in the case of comparable prices, our family didn't give you the priority that time.

We have known each other for more than ten years, you can count how many pigs you have dragged away from me. "Even if it is a verbal agreement, Grandpa Shen, who is cautious, will leave some leeway for himself.

"Okay, then let's make a deal like this. The scales from your side are also here, so hurry up and fold it. I have to go back to work!" After the two parties agreed, Dao San began to urge.

The large steelyard brought by Auntie finally came in handy at this time. Grandpa Shen greeted several young and strong men, prepared a thick stick, lifted the tied big fat pig, and put it on the ground. Weighed two catties on the scale.

Looking at the position where the weight stayed, Dao San said with a bit of complacency, "I've never been short of catties in my business. You can see for yourself whether the weight is the same as what you weighed before."

"That's right, we have done so many transactions, so we can trust you, but this is not the case in our village, the process must go through."

Grandpa Shen didn't feel embarrassed at all, greeted a few neighbors, and carried the big fat pig into Daosan's four-wheeled cart. The two parties happily settled the bill, and watched Daosan drive away.

Father Shen has already led other people, and dragged all the piglets that were dragged out into the pigsty. After untying them one by one, in order to appease their frightened emotions, he threw some vegetables that he had prepared earlier. The leaves go in.

Looking at those pigs that were almost sold, it only took a while for them to regain their nature of hunting for food, and the heart was finally let go.

"Old woman, go catch two chickens and kill them. Thank you for your help today. I will stay at home for dinner tonight!"

Grandpa Shen said to the men who came to help, and Grandma Shen happily said hello, and led Shen Chuqing and Mother Shen to the backyard.

"No need, uncle, the pigs haven't been sold, and we haven't done much to help, so let's go home and help with some work while it's still early.

For the meal, just wait until your family kills the New Year pigs. "

"Lao Liu is right. The big guys are gone, and they go back to their homes to find work. I have to go home to cut cattle and grass!"

One person refused, and the others followed suit. After a while, all the people in the yard left, except for Grandpa Shen and Father Shen.

Grandma Shen and Mother Shen came out from behind each carrying a chicken, and asked when they saw the empty yard, "Where is the person! Didn't you say stay for dinner?"

"Now is the busy season of farming, and everyone has a lot of work at home. Please wait until the New Year's pig is killed!" Grandpa Shen lit a cigarette and said with a smile.

"Then our chicken?" Grandma Shen looked at the chicken in her hand and didn't know whether to continue killing it.

"Kill them all, let's eat one at home tonight, and fry the other in oil, pack it up and bring it to Chuqing to eat at school.

We piggies today are all saved by Chuqing, and we are very happy to say that, in two months, our family will have a graduate student. "

Grandpa Shen took a majestic step, picked up the big basket on the balcony, and shouted at Father Shen: "You and I go up the mountain to collect some firewood. There are so many pigs to cook pig food, but it's useless." .”

Father Shen also carried another large pannier, and also carried an oversized machete, and the two father and son entered the back mountain directly from the backyard.

"I'll cook, you go and cut some hogweed, and you can pick up some rapeseed leaves in the soil under the south slope." Grandma Shen said to Mother Shen.

Mother Shen said yes, handed her the chicken she was carrying, and dragged a basket on her back to go out.

"Grandma, can I help with something?" In the blink of an eye, everyone in the family was assigned a job, except Shen Chuqing.

"My eldest granddaughter's hand will be used for painting in the future, so don't damage it, or you can go home and read a book, or draw for a while, and I will call you when the meal is ready. "Grandma Shen said dotingly.

"I..." Although I knew a long time ago that in this family, even the younger sister can be assigned to work, but I can only be an idler forever.

"Go back quickly, don't get your clothes dirty, ah... This dress is so beautiful, your mother may not even be able to embroider the pictures on it."

The love of beauty is regardless of age, Grandma Shen only noticed the embroidery on Shen Chuqing's clothes at this moment, and her eyes were staring straight.

As Grandma Shen, who has learned embroidery since she was a child and subsidized her family, although she does not have professional knowledge, she has a certain unique vision.

"When I can earn money later, I will buy one for grandma."

"You little girl liar is so sweet, even if you buy such clothes, I can't wear them anymore, and I don't care how old I am now.

Okay, stop gossiping with you, I have to kill the chicken, and I will make you your favorite hot and sour chicken tonight. "

After Grandma Shen finished speaking, she happily entered the kitchen with a chicken in one hand.

Shen Chuqing looked at the little black hair left on her head, her nose was sour, and tears flowed out.

I remember the moment I got the admission letter from the Academy of Fine Arts, my grandparents sold pigs to her to pay for her tuition in the same way.

At that time, there were not many pigs in the family. Although there was only one sow, there were only two piglets in each litter for self-raising. The other piglets were all sold after the full moon.
