Sixty-year-old only child: The system taught me how to become rich

The day before New Year's Eve, Xiangrong's brigade killed several pigs and sheep, intending to give the commune members a prosperous New Year.

The brigade raises pigs and sheep. There are more pigs and sheep raised this year, and no one has died of illness. The brigade cadres discussed it and simply killed three pigs and three sheep to make a six. It means good luck in the coming year, and I hope that everything will go well in the coming year and that the members will have a good year.

The person in charge of killing pigs and sheep is Yu Qiang. His skills of killing pigs and sheep have been passed down from generation to generation, so the brigade invites him every time it kills pigs and sheep.

Because of his superb skills, Yu Qiang was selected when the meat factory recruited workers for the first time and has been working as a butcher in the meat factory. After so many years, I have become a veteran of the meat factory, and my salary is not low.

But after all, they are from the same team, and his father and mother are still here. So Yu Qiang would come back every year and festival, and he would help kill pigs and sheep every time, and the brigade would also give him some reward. This way, Yu Qiang is happy to make some extra money and help the team.

There is usually little entertainment in the brigade, so early in the morning a large group of members came to the open space next to the village mill to watch.

The Gu family also went. Gu Ning woke up early this morning. She had heard her brothers and sisters yearning for killing pigs a few days ago. She thought killing pigs was something fun, and she had been clamoring to go there a few days ago.

Maybe because I kept thinking about this matter, I couldn't sleep well at all. In addition, the children of the Gu family were surprisingly active today. They were all waiting to watch the pig slaughter, and the house was noisy early in the morning.

Gu Xian and Gigi Lai originally thought that killing pigs and sheep was too bloody, and such a young child would be easily frightened, so they did not plan to take Gu Ning to see it. But he still couldn't win over Gu Ning, so he agreed despite her persistence.

"You have to go there on your own. If you get scared, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Before going out, Gu Xian warned Gu Ning again.

"No, I wouldn't blame you if I got scared, Dad."

Gu Ning didn't take it seriously, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

Gu Xian had no choice but to compromise.

Gigi Lai did not stop her. After all, the child's curiosity will only get worse if it is not satisfied. Just be scared once and you won't do it again next time.

So, Gu Ning followed the adults to the open space next to the mill with nervous anticipation.

It's still early and the pig killing hasn't started yet. But the person responsible for killing the pig had the necessary tools ready.

Yu Qiang selected six fatter pigs and sheep, and then asked a few strong boys in the village to fix the pigs and sheep in suitable places and tie them all with ropes.

When the time was almost up, Gu Daquan asked Yu Qiang to start killing the pigs.

Yu Qiang killed the pig with one stroke, fast and accurate, and then bled it out quickly.

After the blood was drained, Yu Qiang cut open the pig's abdomen and took out the internal organs. The person next to you took it, cleaned up the blood, internal organs, etc., and then cleaned the outside and inside of the pig.

Yu Qiang went to slaughter the next one and waited until the pig was cleaned before starting to divide it into different parts.

Gu Ning was already frightened when the pig was tied up and howled wildly, let alone the subsequent killing of the pig.

However, Gu Xian and Gigi Gigi had already expected it. Before killing the pig, Gigi covered Gu Ning's eyes to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene.

Gu Ning didn't struggle at all. She had long been frightened by the way the pig struggled and howled. Her interest in killing the pig had also disappeared, and she was not curious about the next scene.

Among the children in the village who were as old as Gu Ning, their parents did not bring them out at all. Even if he was brought out, he would still be like Gigi Gigi, covering the child's eyes to prevent him from looking. I was afraid that he would be frightened and cry in the middle of the night, and he might get sick.

As for the older kids, they weren't scared at all. Pigs are killed every year, and we see this scene every year. In their hearts, killing pigs means getting meat to eat, and they are too late to be happy.

What's more, children's emotions will be infected by adults. Adults' attitude towards killing pigs is one of expectation and happiness. Of course, children will not think that killing pigs is something to be afraid of.

The women in the team had already set up the stove and put on the big pot. After killing the pig, the women put the offal into the pot, add ginger, green onions and rice wine to remove the fishy smell, then add potatoes, cabbage, sauerkraut and other side dishes, and stew two large pots of pig-killing vegetables.

Smelling the aroma emanating from the air, everyone present swallowed their saliva. This is one of the most anticipated parts. Although the pig meat is not ready yet, people can’t wait.

After the pig-killing vegetables are cooked, each family lines up to receive their own share of the pig-killing vegetables. The butchered vegetables are divided among the women who take charge of the dishes, so of course they have selfish motives.

Women will silently give their own portion more offal and less vegetables. But they don't dare to go too far, so the whole process of dividing the butchered pig dishes depends on luck. Therefore, no one had any disputes about the order. They were all on a first-come, first-served basis.

But dividing the pork is different. Although the person responsible for dividing the meat will give you which piece you want, the one who goes first is definitely better than the one who goes later.

Although fat meat and lean meat have the same weight, everyone definitely wants to choose fatter meat. After all, in this era, everyone is short of fat and water in their stomachs.

Generally speaking, Yu Qiang will give you whatever piece of meat you want and won't embarrass you. Therefore, many conflicts occurred in the past in order to compete for the front position.

Because of this, Gu Daquan changed the rules for dividing meat into drawing lots a few years ago. Each household chooses one person to grab the note. Whichever number is on the note, you choose the meat.

In previous years, it was Gu Daquan who drew lots for the Gu family. If he was not available, it would be He Chunlan. But this year, because Gu Ning was very interested in drawing lots, Gu Daquan saw that his granddaughter liked it, so he let her go.

Gu Xian hugged Gu Ning and went up to draw lots. They were the first to arrest him because the members couldn't wait to see Gu Ning. Anyway, it all depends on luck to catch him first and then later, so they let Gu Ning go first.

It might be the protection period for newbies, but Gu Ning's luck was overwhelming today, and he picked out number 1 as soon as he caught it.

Gu Xian looked at the small piece of paper with the number 1 written on it in Gu Ning's hand and kissed Gu Ning excitedly.

"Our Ningning is really good. He caught the best one right away."

The people around below couldn't help but marvel.

"Oh, this is such good luck. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, which is a good sign."

"Yes, lucky doll, you are blessed."

"Haha, is it because children are cleaner and have better luck?"

"What you said makes sense. I'll let my kids try it too."

Therefore, many families let their children smoke this year.

Everything was pretty good up front, nothing particularly lucky. At the back, one kid drew number 3, and another kid drew number 9.

Most of the children did not draw the latter numbers, so the members were even more convinced that the children were more lucky.

As the first person to pick, of course I have to pick the fat. But don’t go too far. Choose the best ones so that the people behind you won’t have any opinions.

So He Chunlan only let Yu Qiang cut a piece of pork suet when he went up, and she chose a large piece of fat for the rest. Then I bought two extra pig trotters and a little pig face.

The Gu family has a large labor force and a lot of people. Therefore, there is a lot of food, and the total of these meat forests is enough for their family to have a prosperous year this year. So, the whole family is very happy.
