It’s cold, so we boil water here and sit together by the fire over there.

They all came to help. They were not the butchers, but an old craftsman in the village who passed the business on to his son.

Lin Feng took out cigarettes and distributed them to everyone. The cigarettes cost about 100 yuan a pack, and each person got a pack.

Everyone took it with a smile. The older ones chatted with Lin Feng, while the younger ones of the same age as Lin Feng didn't say much and were watching videos on their phones.

As they chatted, one of the old men brought up the scene where Lin Feng rode a pig more than ten years ago.

Lin Feng also laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Water is ready!"

The man who was boiling water shouted, and several people came up and drove the pig that was grunting in the iron cage out. They tied up the four pig's trotters, and everyone worked together to hang it up.

Lin Feng wanted to help, but everyone stopped him from working.

"You can't do this kind of physical work, just watch from the side."

"This pig stinks. Stand further away so you don't get splashed with blood."

"There are so many people here, we don't need your help, just go and have fun."

Lin Feng was a little amused and confused. He was already in his forties, but why was he still like a child in the eyes of the older generation?

The pig was hung upside down, and the butcher came over with a knife and stabbed it, and the people below quickly moved a basin to collect the pig's blood.

The pig was struggling, and several people including the butcher held it down.

He stopped shouting after a while. After bleeding out, the next step was to cut open his intestines and stomach. Lin Feng was unable to help with these.

"Why don't you go back, Xiaofeng? It's very cold today, and it's warmer in bed."

"That's right, go back to bed. This pig will take a long time to clean up."

"Just wait for us to clean up and send it to your house. You don't have to stay here. We won't steal the food."

Everybody was laughing and joking.

In the end, Lin Feng didn't leave, since he was free anyway.

The butcher's job today from morning to night is to slaughter the New Year pigs for the villagers.

The first pigs slaughtered were from Lin Feng's family, and they were also two pigs bought from the butcher.

The butcher's wife was busy from after four o'clock until dawn. She cooked a big pot of dumplings. Everyone ate a bowl and then continued to work.

After Lin Feng's two pigs were cleaned up, the father and son carried the meat home.

Lin's mother had already prepared the meal. She put on an apron and went over to move the meat. Lin Feng threw two large raw bones to Huahua and Ahu.

They were so happy that they took the food into their nest and chewed it.

As for the three little puppies, Lin's mother locked them in a small room with paper on the floor.

After finishing the work, it was completely light.

"I'll go and call them for dinner."

Lin Feng stopped Lin's mother and said, "Don't worry about them. They won't be able to get up unless they wake up naturally."

Father Lin also said, “It’s cold now and it’s comfortable to sleep in the quilt, so let them sleep.”

Mother Lin sat down again and said, "Let's not cook the pig-killing dishes. Let's cook it when everyone in the family is together."

In the past, when we slaughtered pigs, we would invite the neighbors to come and eat together.

Today and tomorrow, Lin Feng will go to visit the graves of his aunt, uncle, and uncle De...

"Your uncle was supposed to come back this year, but his poor health prevented him from coming back. Go visit him after the New Year."

Father Lin lamented to his son that in the past, when communications were not well developed, writing letters was a common thing.

However, with the development of communication, we can meet each other through a video call even if we are thousands of miles apart.

But the relationship can't be compared with before.

In the past, the two uncles in my family had contact with each other, but now they rarely contact each other.

Even in the family group, they basically don't talk.

It was the same with my uncle. We were far apart, and as time went by, we became estranged.

On the contrary, my uncle, who had conflicts with Lin Feng's family in the past but later reconciled with them, has been visiting them frequently in recent years and their relationship is good.

Not to mention Zhao Ju, who was the third child. She thought the name "Auntie" sounded nice, so she let Lin Feng call her that.

Over the years, Zhao Ju's family and Lin Feng are not only close, but also have common interests, so naturally, everything is good to them.

In the afternoon, Lin Feng took his father to visit the grave.

I met a lot of people along the way, but I can’t remember their names.

"Aunt, we came to see you."

Father Lin said nothing. He did all this in silence, and only muttered to himself while burning the paper.

Talking about my aunt's two children, talking about Fang Shun, talking about Bai Lu, talking about their children...

"We are all fine, please keep them safe and healthy.

Tell me in your dreams what you need, and I’ll buy it and burn it for you…”

Lin Feng said as he was burning, "Aunt, I bought you a big villa, a car, a driver, gold ingots, and servants...

Don't worry, your uncle can't do without him either, he doesn't need anything, just tell us what you need."

The eldest aunt had passed away for many years and rarely appeared in Lin Feng’s dreams.

Father Lin had dreamed about this several times, and every time after the dream he would buy a lot of things and bring them to his aunt until he was satisfied.

Then I went to see my uncle.

The couple were not buried together according to the place given by the husband.

After driving for a while and walking for a while, we finally arrived at my uncle's grave.

"Uncle, you also have what my aunt deserves."

"If you need anything, just send it to me in your dreams, or to my father..."

It is a very happy thing to dream about deceased elderly people.

On the way back, Lin's father talked about their arrangements for old age, which was to follow the traditional burial.

"You and mom are both in good health and will live another 20 to 30 years."

"Hahaha, I don't have any other requests. I just want to see my kids get married and start their own families!"

Considering that Fu Baobao is only two years old, he probably won’t be able to wait any longer.

If you try hard, you might even see Xixi and Duoduo get married!

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaobao and Yanyan arrived in Nanshi by plane, then drove home and returned to the countryside.

Yes, he went home and drove.

It was almost noon when they got to the countryside and everyone was waiting for them to have dinner.

The two old people and three children had been waiting on the roadside, while Lin Feng and his wife were waiting in the yard.

"coming."

Everyone got out of one car.

Xiaobao is holding Fubao in his arms, and he looks extremely handsome in all black.

Look at Yanyan next to me, she is wearing red and black and light makeup, she is very beautiful.

Xixi and Duoduo followed behind him, holding things in their hands.

"Look, doggie, fix the doggie!"

Fubaobao introduced the new member of the family to Xiaobao and Yanyan.

"Aww, so cute, suck suck suck suck suck suck!"

The three little puppies heard the sound and came over happily, wagging their tails.

After playing with the puppy for a while, Lin Feng asked them to wash their hands and eat.

Everyone, sit down and eat.

Baby Fu was already howling with hunger. He stood up and moved his hands, his little face was covered in oil from eating.

Mother Lin used a serving chopstick to pick up food for Yanyan, "Yanyan is getting prettier and prettier now!"

Yanyan said softly, "Thank you, grandma!"

The call of Grandma made Lin's mother very happy, "Call me Grandma from now on."

Xiaobao came over and asked, "Grandma, do I sound nice?"

Mother Lin glared over and smiled, "It sounds good!"

Duoduo also joined in the fun, "Grandma, do I sound nice?"

Mother Lin smiled with eyes curved, "It sounds good, it sounds good!"

Baby Fu shouted, "Grandma!"

Mother Lin was very happy, "I'm here, I'm here!"
