Little wealth

I saw several small stalls selling vegetables on the road, and there were not many people buying vegetables.The village is not like the town where no one farms. Every household in their village has farms, and most of them grow vegetables at home, so few people go out to buy vegetables.

There are green vegetables in the vegetable garden at home, so there is no need to buy green vegetables.

I saw people in their village selling fish. They were grass carp caught from the river in the morning, and they were still alive.

"Bring two grass carp, and pick two bigger ones for me." After asking the price of the fish, Josh bought two grass carp.Although they are near the river here, not everyone can catch fish.Now let him go into the river to fish, he is still a bit afraid of water, so he feels that there is no need to risk his life to go into the river to fish for things that can be bought for a few pennies.

The two fish weighed four to five catties in the hand, and it cost less than ten Wen, which was much cheaper than eating pork!

It's a pity that their morning market is too small and there are not many products, even if he wants to buy some pork, he can't buy it.Fortunately, I have two fish and tofu, and I can make two dishes when I go back and make roasted tofu and fish soup.

After walking a few steps, the small morning market in their village was gone. He couldn't find what he wanted to buy, and he didn't meet the person he was looking for.

Last time he said he was inviting people to dinner, and Josh would not forget what he said, so when he went back, he took the child and turned a corner and went in the direction of Chen Yan's house.

Chen Tuhu's family lives behind a forest, so it's not hard to find, just pass through the forest and you can see it.

Ah Huang led the way, and Josh walked behind with the child in his arms. When he walked through a small forest, he heard the sound of pigs screaming and someone talking, as well as a faint smell of pigs. Some, the taste will be stronger.

No wonder Chen Yan was afraid that he would come to his house to look for him last time, probably because of this?

"...Hey, don't hit me with your head, are you asking for a beating?" Chen Yan poured the food bowl he was carrying into the pig bowl, and a big sow and a dozen piglets surrounded it to eat Well, the big sow almost buried her whole head in the food bowl, eating so much that she didn't even lift her head.

A group of little piglets squeezed each other and squeezed you, and at the end there was one who couldn't find its place, hummed anxiously, and was circling anxiously outside, trying to squeeze the other brothers and sisters out.But the other brothers and sisters were scrambling for food, and none of the pigs would give way.

In the end, Chen Yan couldn't see it, so he helped, kicking the little piggy that couldn't get in.

A big sow and a dozen little piglets were eating, and the food in the basin soon bottomed out. Chen Yan poured the last bit of food in the bucket, put the bucket at his feet, and watched Eating with a herd of pigs.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the father and son walking towards them. He felt a little surprised in his heart. He looked at Josh and asked, "You...why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to look for you." Josh walked out with the child, and what he saw was a picture of Chen Yan with a group of pigs.It was the first time he saw so many piglets, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this sow can really give birth!

Behind Chen Yan is their family's house, and their family is one of the few families in the village who can afford to live in a green brick house.There is also a pigsty next to the yard, in which there are two or three big pigs, and the rest are killed and sold during the Chinese New Year.

Not everyone in the village could afford to raise pigs, and these pigs were the most important property of Chen Butcher's family.

Butcher Chen has been a butcher for more than [-] years. He not only butchers pigs, but also raises and sells pork himself. He also made some money in the early years. The house he built is where his father and son live.So it's no wonder that Chen Tuhu looked down on the people introduced by the matchmaker. Their family's conditions are not bad. His family has only one brother, and these things will be left to his own brother in the future. Bad man, it's better to let the son stay at home.

Even if his elder brother never gets married, Chen Tuhu is not worried that his elder brother will starve and have nothing to eat in the future.

"Looking for me?" Chen Yan was a little surprised.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you to invite you to dinner last time? We've been busy with spring plowing recently, so we don't have time to come to see you. It just so happens that I have some time today, so I went to buy vegetables and plan to cook two more dishes tonight. "Josh said with a smile: "You can go to our place for dinner at night, my mother and uncle are also there."

Originally about to refuse, Chen Yan hesitated for a while after hearing Josh's last words.

Seeing that the other party didn't refuse outright, Josh regarded him as agreeing, looked at the house behind him, and asked, "Is there anyone else in your family? You can call and go together."

"My father and I are the only two in my house. My father went out early in the morning, and he won't be back so soon." Chen Yan looked at Jo Xu, who came to find him specially, feeling a little unspeakable in his heart.

In the past, he was very envious of Josh. Josh was good-looking, and many men in the village liked him. Compared with himself... If he was a man himself, he would probably like Josh, not him. like myself.

The little baby who has grown to such a big size has never seen such a small piglet, and felt very surprised for a moment, staring at the big eyes, holding Eminem's hand with one hand, pointing at the little piggy in front of him with his little finger , Shouting: "Em~"

"Oh, this is a pig. Hey, don't move, are you going to come down?...Okay, I'll let you down." Seeing the child in his arms twisting his body to come down, Josh raised his hand Things, I almost couldn't hold this little guy anymore, so I quickly put him on the ground.

But as soon as the little guy's feet hit the ground, his eyes fixed on the little piggy who was eating, and he wanted to run over to touch the little piggy, but he quickly grabbed the back collar of his clothes and grabbed him.

"Don't pass by, you can just watch from a distance, but you can't pass by." The little piglet looks small and has no attack power, but the big pig looks to be as big as dozens of his sons. It's not a joke, Josh hastily grabbed his son and refused to let him go.

"Yes." Little Wa'er pointed to the cute little piggy and said yes, wanting to touch it.

"..." Josh wanted to spank the ass of his disobedient son.

Ah Huang followed the owner, watching the group of pigs warily, baring his teeth at the running piglets, scaring them away.

A group of pigs quickly ate up all the food in the food bowl, and two little piglets ran to his heels.Looking at the kid clamoring for a little piggy, and then at their little piggy, Chen Yan bent down and picked up a little piggy, and handed it to the kid clamoring for a little piggy. Looking at the child with a little softness in his eyes, he said, "You can't hold it, but I will hold it, and you can touch it."

"Hmph~" The little piglet picked up by the owner stared at its two short legs, its white and tender body, and a black spot on its back that was the same as its mother's. Make a humming sound.

The little baby turned his head and raised his head to look at the adult behind him.

"Touch it if you like it. If you touch it, we'll go back." Josh reached out and touched the little boy's head, watching the little boy stretch out his little paws to touch someone else's piglet with a look of fear and excitement. cub.

Looking at the little piglets all over the place, he couldn't even count how many there were, and there was a big pig next to him, licking the bottom of his pelvis, and ignored them.

"These little piglets in your family are all the piglets of sows. There are so many. How many piglets are there?" If you don't count the roast suckling pig, it's the first time Josh has seen a live one The piglets, probably not long after they were born, are still very small, and several of the piglets have huddled under the belly of the sow to suckle.

"This time the sow gave birth to twelve litters, which is a small number. At most, she gave birth to eighteen litters at one time." When it came to the pigs at home, Chen Yan talked a little more.

He is taking care of the pigs in the family. He does all the work of cutting pig grass and cooking pig food on weekdays alone. Pigs cook and eat, and wait until dawn before going to sleep.

His father is also busy on weekdays, either going around to slaughter pigs for others, or selling the slaughtered pigs outside, in short, there is no time for rest.The father and son are busy with their own work, one is in charge of the house, and the other is busy outside.

"Wow, that's really good at giving birth." Josh was really surprised when he heard that the sow gave birth to a dozen or so piglets at a time.But looking at these little piglets, he felt a little thoughtful, "There are so many little piglets in your family, do you keep them for your own family, or raise them and sell them?"

"If anyone wants it, sell it, and if no one wants it, keep it. Do you want to raise it?" Seeing Josh staring at the group of little piglets, Chen Yan thought that their family wanted to raise pigs.

"No, I don't think about it for now." Although Josh likes to eat pork, it doesn't mean he likes raising pigs. The main reason is that the taste of raising pigs is really unbearable...

The two stood outside the door and talked for a while, before Chen Yan noticed that he had let others stand at the door for so long, so he asked, "Would you like to sit in the yard and have a glass of water?"

"No, no, no, I have to carry my things home." Josh shook the things in his hands, took his son's hand and prepared to go back, and said to Chen Yan: "We will go back, remember to come over for dinner tonight Ah. Your father will come back later, so please bring your father with you. "

Inviting one person is also an invitation, and it is also an invitation to invite two people. The grace of saving lives is much more important than such a meal.

When leaving, the little baby still looked at the little piglet in other people's arms with some reluctance, and seemed to want to take it home.

Facing the eyes of the little baby eagerly looking at him, Chen Yan almost wanted to give the little piglet he was holding in his arms to someone else.He sent Josh and his son out of the small forest, and when he saw that they had gone far, he turned around and walked back home slowly by himself...
