daily struggle in ancient times
Chapter 35
Butchering pigs has always been a big deal.
Before dawn, candles were lit in the Huo family's yard, and the smell of fireworks wafted from the kitchen.
Wei Yun quickly boiled sweet potato porridge, served with his own pickled pickles, and the whole family started to get busy after a simple breakfast.
Huo Cheng simply built a large stove in the yard, Wei Yun was on the sidelines, and Aunt Huo was heating hot water in the stove. It was still early, and the two children were sent to sleep and returned to their cages.
Although there is still half a month to celebrate the new year, the weather is freezing, and the meat will not go bad at all in the yard.But there is only so much good meat on a pig, and the price is relatively cheap now, so it didn't take long for people to come to Huo's house one after another.
Some of these people came to buy meat to help out, and some came simply to help.
Aunt Gu's family is the latter. In the past, she and Aunt Huo did not get along, and her family never participated in the killing of pigs by Huo's family.With Wei Yun's relationship this year, she decided not to argue with Aunt Huo.
As soon as she came, she ordered her son to replace Wei Yun, and dragged him into the room to have a private conversation.
She hasn't seen Wei Yun in the past few days, and she was still quite worried. As soon as she entered the room, she grabbed him and asked, "How is it? Is Dacheng treating you well? Did your mother-in-law make things difficult for you?"
Wei Yun answered one by one: "It's very good, no one makes things difficult for me, and Huo Cheng is also very good to me."
Only then did Aunt Gu feel relieved, "That's good, that's good." She paused, and asked vaguely, "Then you two, what about your idea?"
Wei Yun asked strangely, "What's the matter?"
Aunt Gu faltered and couldn’t say anything. Firstly, Wei Yun was not her biological child, so it was always a little strange to inquire about other people’s bed affairs; secondly, Wei Yun was a little brother, and she was a woman. Both are married, but there are still some differences.
Seeing her like this, Wei Yun's sluggish brain finally came to his senses, his face turned red, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Very, very good."
"That's good, that's good." After getting the answer, Aunt Gu hastily changed the topic: "I heard that kid Da Jiang came back to make trouble?"
Wei Yun nodded. There was a lot of commotion that day, and the village chief knew about it. Most of the village must know about it, so he was not surprised.
When Wei Yun explained the matter clearly to Aunt Gu, the latter slapped her thigh and said excitedly: "I said why the old people in the Huo family's sub-family village don't say a word, so that's how it is!"
"This kid is a successful man. Not only did he break off from this rotten man, but he also gained a good reputation among those old men, which is not something ordinary people can do. What about your mother-in-law, did she do something wrong again?"
Wei Yun shook his head, "My mother is probably very angry this time, and even hit the second brother. I guess the second brother will not be able to please her in a short time."
Aunt Gu: "It seems that she doesn't completely forget to eat and not to fight, but it depends on Huo Cheng's attitude. Your mother-in-law is a paper tiger. As long as Da Cheng doesn't nod, the family can't afford to make trouble. you……"
"Me?" Wei Yun didn't know why, "What's wrong with me?"
Aunt Gu nodded his head, and said earnestly: "I heard what Hongzhi said, the last time they went to Qingyuan County, thanks to Dacheng, Hongzhi only made ten taels of silver. Look at your brother Hongzhi, follow the boss Shang, who has been running for so long, didn't even think about it, but the big achievement is not to mention it, but he really has the courage to make it happen!"
"Brother Hongzhi has been in the business for so many years, and this is the first time he has earned so much money. The aunt knows in her heart that with the little money that brother Hongzhi took away, she can't earn so much at all. It's not because of Dacheng. You took care of it on purpose."
She lowered her voice and continued affectionately and seriously: "Dacheng is a caring and family-oriented person, but there are too many unscrupulous women and brothers out there. This man doesn't know how to cheat, but he doesn't meet many. It’s hard to tell if there are too many.”
"So, you must have a firm grip on Dacheng, and give birth to a child quickly. Even if there are people outside Dacheng, you have a reason to rely on. Otherwise, if you come in outside and you don't have a child yet, you will be sad at that time." !"
Wei Yun was noncommittal, but obediently agreed.
Just as she was talking, there was a loud noise from outside, Aunt Gu quickly stood up to look, "Okay, let's go out quickly, this butcher is here, and he will kill him immediately."
Zhang Tuhu has big arms, a round waist, a hole in the hole, and a powerful force, but his face is benevolent and kind-hearted, which is quite inconsistent with his body.He is good at butchering pigs, and the prices he charges are honest. Lijia Village always looks for him when they want to butcher pigs.
This man didn't talk too much, and when he entered the door, he arranged for the men to enter the pigsty, tied up the big fat pig who seemed to have sensed that his life was in danger and was frightened, and put him on the bench.
The Huo family's pig has been raised for a whole year, and it weighs more than 200 catties. On weekdays, Brother Tong mostly feeds it with pig grass and screws.If it wasn't for Huo Er to create the illusion that he was forced to leave the house when the family was separated, this pig would not have stayed in Huo's house.
Blood sausage was made with pig's blood and salt, and the internal organs were sorted and put away easily and cleanly. The pork was also divided according to the parts. Butcher Zhang took the reward from Huo's family and left with a smile on his face.
After removing the bones and viscera, there are only a hundred and eighty catties of meat left in a pig, and Huo Cheng plans to keep half of the pig to eat for himself, and the meat that can be sold is less than one hundred catties.
Hearing that the Huo family wanted to keep half of it, the onlookers were all surprised, and whispered: "It seems that the Huo family is really developed, but it's half a pig, and it's only two taels of silver!"
"That's right, do you still remember the two carriages that Huo's family held a banquet a few days ago? Those who can use that kind of carriages can't be short of money, and we can eat for several years if there is a leak between our fingers!"
"Dacheng is capable. Brother Wei is also lucky to be able to get involved with these elders."
"Yes, yes, it can be regarded as the end of all hardships."
No matter what the big guy thinks in his heart, his face is full of praise, and some people even secretly ask Wei Yun who Huo Cheng is dating, whether he needs help, and so on.
Wei Yun's inner comparison was not disturbed, and he just blindly said that he didn't know.
Seeing that he really couldn't come up with any questions, all the people left with their mouths curled up.
The half-pig was quickly sold off, and after eating the pig-killing dishes, the people in the yard dispersed completely.
By the time Wei Yun and the others finished packing up and finishing the bacon, it was completely dark.The two children were already sleepy, and Aunt Huo led them to sleep, leaving only the husband and wife in the kitchen.
Wei Yun lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. The big bone soup in the crock had boiled to milky white. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, took out the fire in the stove and kept it on a small fire.
In this way, the delicious bone soup will be completely ready tomorrow morning.He checked again, and then he and Huo Cheng washed and went to bed.
Even though he was extremely sleepy, recalling what Aunt Gu said this morning, Wei Yun still asked, "Huo Cheng, will you take a concubine in the future?"
All the sleepy bugs in Huo Cheng's mind ran away, and his brows were tightly knit together, "Why do you suddenly remember to ask this?"
Wei Yun repeated what Aunt Gu said today, only saying that he thought of it suddenly, and finally said seriously: "I have also seen little brothers and women who were abandoned by my husband in the city, although life is more difficult. , but it’s not too bad.”
"If you really have someone outside, I don't know. If I know, I will definitely get together. Anyway, I have come here with Brother Yu in the past few years, so I don't have to be disgusted with myself."
Huo Cheng's brows twisted into a "Chuan" character, he hugged him into his arms, and comforted him helplessly: "How can such a thing happen, I only have you, and I'd be so tired if I had more! I have married you, so naturally I want to love and respect you for the rest of my life, and I will never be that scumbag who throws her husband and son away."
Of course Wei Yun is willing to believe in Huo Cheng, but people's hearts are changeable in this world, and he has seen loving couples turn against each other in a blink of an eye.But Huo Cheng is really a good person, he treats him so well, but he doubts him inexplicably, it's really hateful.
He spurned himself very much in his heart, but he still couldn't help feeling uneasy.
In the final analysis, he and Huo Cheng were not what you wanted at the beginning, but a hastily arranged marriage due to circumstances.
Huo Cheng is so good, Wei Yun asked himself that the conditions are not good, and his looks are not the best, Wei Yun is always afraid that this is a dream.I'm afraid that after waking up from the dream, I will still be the little brother whose parents are dead and the younger brother is alone.
He was uneasy, and Huo Cheng didn't feel any better.
Although the days were short, Wei Yun's weight in his heart had unknowingly reached an unimaginable level. Thinking that Wei Yun would leave him one day, Huo Chengcheng couldn't restrain his killing intent.
Fortunately, he was not alone in this kind of worry. Although what Wei Yun said just now displeased him, it also reminded him that the little husband actually had feelings for him where he didn't pay attention.
Wei Yun didn't know what he was thinking, so after hesitating for a long time, he plucked up his courage and said, "I, I know that the circumstances forced us to get married in the first place, but you are really good to me, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but I'm afraid..."
What are you afraid of? He didn't say anything and Huo Cheng could guess it. He couldn't help but kissed the man's red eyes, "Fool, if I don't like you, how can I treat you so well? I know you are uneasy, But it doesn't matter, our life is so long, I can always make you feel at ease."
Wei Yun couldn't help but shed tears, the best thing in this world is that the person you like also likes you.
Although there are some feelings, if Huo Cheng doesn't say he likes it for a day, Wei Yun will always feel a little uneasy.But now, Wei Yun has completely lost his anxiety, and for the first time generously showed his love without reservation.
"I, I like you too, and you don't want to find anyone else in the future, just the two of us live and live forever."
His voice was small, but extremely firm, and what was in his eyes made Huo Cheng excited.
Wei Yun knew exactly what the flame in Huo Cheng's eyes was, but he didn't avoid it for the first time, but took the initiative to go up and say something.
The flames that had already been ignited spread instantly, burning unscrupulously in this small room.
Outside the window, white snowflakes drifted down at some point, and the earth was silent, as if witnessing something.
