Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Song Han and others obediently took plates with different kinds of food and went to the yard.

The children have all lined up, boys and girls in one team, and their heights are also from short to short.

But the girls' team was longer than the boys' team. A rough count showed that there were at least ten more people.

This number may not sound like a lot at first, but those who come to pay New Year greetings today are basically children from various families. The oldest ones are only seven or eight years old. Anyone older, regardless of whether they are boys or girls, cannot go to pay New Year greetings. On New Year's Day, this can be regarded as a common rule in several surrounding villages.

Among children of this age group, there are so many more girls than boys. Looking at the entire village, there are much more girls than boys.

The reason is still the preference for boys over girls.

If you give birth to a second child, it will be a daughter, and you will definitely have more children until you give birth to a son. But for those who already have two or three sons at home, most of them will choose to have their babies sealed and not have any more children.

After all, the family is poor, and the more children they have, the less they can feed their glorious ancestors.

Xu Wanning saw clearly, but at the same time she also knew that this situation could not be solved by her alone.

But it was impossible for her to stand by and watch.

But, what can be done to change this situation?

At this time, in the team, Wang Tiezhu stretched out his right hand towards Song Han with uneasy eyes.

It's not that he doesn't know that his grandmother and second uncle and aunt have angered the Lin family, but he and his brothers are really greedy. Who makes the Lin family's food the most delicious?

He had also grabbed several steel dice just now.

Wang Tiezhu's thinking was simple. If Song Han didn't give it to him, he would make a fuss. He believed that the Lin family would not care about a child like him during the Chinese New Year.

But if this road still doesn't work, he has no choice but to give up. Anyway, he just grabbed a few steel coins, so it's not a bad trip.

To Wang Tiezhu's surprise, Song Han didn't even look at him, but put toffee, biscuits and other foods on his palm.

"Lin Songhan, look at me, it's me."

Song Han said impatiently: "I know it's you, Wang Tiezhu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"You didn't even give me sweets before, why are you so generous today? Is there something bad added to the sugar?"

Song Han felt his anger rushing straight to Tianling Gaier, "If you don't want to eat it, just give it back to me! I gave you something with good intentions, but you still want to be wronged? Is our Lin family like this?"

Wang Tiezhu quickly apologized and said, "Hey, I just said it casually, don't be angry with me."

As he spoke, he peeled the toffee and fed it into his mouth. The sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth. Wang Tiezhu said with satisfaction: "Just because you don't implicate me because of the affairs of the elders in my family, I recognize you as a brother." Get off! Lin Songhan, if you encounter trouble in the future, tell me, brother, and I promise to help you without any reason!"

Song Han looked at the boys standing in front and behind Wang Tiezhu with a complicated expression, "He is about my age, right?"

"In terms of year, we are all from the same year, and Wang Tiezhu is several months older than you."

"Who did he learn this from?" Why does he look like the kind of person who has been around in the world since childhood in the villain books Xu Ning read? Not at all like a kid his own age.

It sounds weird.

However, when Wang Tiezhu spoke just now, the look in his eyes was very firm, unlike his second uncle.

For a moment, Song Han seemed to understand what his mother told Xu Ning that Wang Tiezhu was not a bad boy at all.

Maybe, as my mother said, good words lead to good relationships. They are just talking about it to prevent a child who is not bad at heart from going astray.

Song Han took a deep breath and said to Wang Tiezhu: "If you stop bullying the children in the village who are younger than you in the future, and don't bully others like your second uncle, I will accept you as my friend."

Wang Tiezhu's eyes were filled with starlight, "Are you willing to be friends with me?"

Are the kids in the city willing to be friends with him, a boy born and raised in the village?

He wasn't quite able to understand the meaning of the word friend, but Song Han really saw the way Song Han didn't dislike him regardless of his past grudges.

"Okay!" Wang Tiezhu patted his chest and grinned behind his ears: "Lin Songhan, I will definitely make you be my friend willingly!"

Song Han looked at him deeply, said nothing, and continued walking forward, handing out things to other children.

It wasn't until almost noon that the children who got their things left the Lin family with satisfaction.

"There will be pig killing rice at noon, let's go and join in the fun together."

Chen Ye and others asked curiously: "What is pig-killing rice?"

Xu Wanning explained: "There are pigs raised in the village. One of them will be slaughtered before the new year. After enough is given to the commune, some of the rest will be divided among the villagers according to their individual work points. The other pig is waiting. Every year on the first day of the new year, they are slaughtered, and the village takes part of the meat, adds some cabbage and the like, and cooks a big pot of food, and each family can share a bowl."

One bowl is given to each family for free by the village. If you want to eat more, you have to pay to buy it from the village.

But because there are no meat stamps, the price of meat is the same as that bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. Therefore, those families who cannot get the meat stamps wait for every New Year's Day to buy a few kilograms of meat and have a good meal for the whole family.

Whether it is the Lin family or the Xu family, there is no shortage of this kind of food, but the Xu family has never seen the scene of pig killing, so Mother Lin thought of taking them to join in the fun.

"The pig-killing rice in the village doesn't include condiments, and it doesn't taste good when made. The bowl we will share later will be given to you, Uncle Zhang, the head of the village. He is a lonely old man who can only eat something good all year round." of."

"Okay, Mom, just look at the arrangements."

The Lin family didn't buy the pork that didn't require meat tickets. After all, no matter how big a pig was, it only weighed about two hundred pounds. The villagers could barely share it. If they continued to join in the fun, there wouldn't be enough for everyone.

Anyway, they have meat tickets, so it doesn’t take much effort to buy them in town.

This was the first time for the Xu family to see the scene of pig killing. The bloody scene made Chen Ye and others feel nauseated and stayed away from the slaughterhouse.

Because Xu Wanning was pregnant, she couldn't see the blood, so she simply sat with them and chatted.

On the contrary, the Xu family brothers kept moving forward.

"Fourth brother, among our brothers, you are the only one who can wield a scalpel. You should learn how to kill pigs and sheep. I will still count on you when our second store opens."

A row of question marks flashed across Xu Maotuan's eyes.

"Brother, you are truly my dear brother!"
