I have 1 after wearing the chronology

The light rain fell on the brown tiles, and the water dripped down the eaves to the ground. Over the years, the grains of the stone slabs were smoothed, and Ping'an Village was shrouded in mist and haze.

It's beautiful, but it's too cold.

Chen Wan fiddled with the ashes under her feet, and dug out the charcoal buried in the ashes.This is what the old lady used to warm up the fire in the past. It has a bamboo shell and a clay-fired container like an altar lid is embedded inside.

Seeing that Chen Wan was stamping her feet in the cold, Zhou Mei turned it out from the utility room, shoveled red-hot charcoal from the stove, put it in, and sent it to Chen Wan's room.

The fiery red charcoal radiated scorching heat. Chen Wan put her feet on it at first, but after a while her teeth were so hot that she grinned, so she quickly moved away.

"I remember that the old Zhao's family raised two sheep this year. You will ask them later if they will kill them. If they kill them, we will order two catties of mutton, as well as sheep bones and so on."

It was raining, so Zhou Mei and Chen Qianjin didn't go to the ground, but the two of them couldn't stay idle, so they would sit under the eaves and tie up the dried firewood in small bundles, which would be more convenient for burning.

"Aren't there two pigs in the pen? Why do you buy mutton?" Chen Qianjin looked at the pig pen in the corner of the courtyard. The piglets he bought at the New Year's Fair have been carefully fed, and they are fat and strong. There are more than two hundred catties.

The two ends are four hundred catties. Excluding the handover part, the rest can make their family live a big and fat year.

"The mutton is nourishing. I bought it and stewed it for Liu'er and the three children to nourish their bodies and drive away the cold."

Zhou Mei was more careful than Chen Qianjin, she made sense, Chen Qianjin nodded when he heard this, "You reminded me, I'll go now, lest I run out of mutton orders later."

It wasn't raining heavily, but Lao Zhao's house was a little far away. Chen Qianjin went back to the house and took a bamboo hat and put it on, then put on rain boots and stepped into the continuous rain and fog.

After crossing a few field ridges, Chen Qianjin went ahead and asked, "Is Lao Zhao there?"

Old Zhao, wearing a bamboo hat like him, was bending over to pour fodder into the sheep shed: "Hey, what's the matter?"

Chen Jinjin looked at the sheep pen, and immediately praised: "You have raised the sheep well."

The two sheep had broad backs, and they were gorging on forage. One of them had a belly twice larger than the one next to it, and it was probably pregnant with a lamb.

After Lao Zhao poured out the fodder, he asked Chen Qianjin to sit in the room. Although the policy is now looser than the previous two years, when it comes to buying and selling, everyone is still used to discussing it in private.

Chen Jinjin explained his purpose, and Lao Zhao grinned: "How much do you want for sale? I will let you know in advance if I kill the sheep later."

Lao Zhao didn't charge a ticket, one piece of mutton per catty, which was about the same as pork, and Chen Jinjin ordered five catties.

"Is five catties enough for six people in your family? Would you like some more?" Privately raised sheep are not easy to sell in the market, and Lao Zhao counts on the money from selling mutton for the New Year, wishing that Chen Qianjin would wrap it up for him.

Mutton has a unique smell, and many people are not used to eating it. Few in the village are willing to spend money on it, so they think it is better to buy pork.

Lao Zhao also wants to raise pigs, but the food at home is not enough for people to eat, so how can they afford pigs.

"That's enough. It's my first time eating mutton. I don't know if they like it or not. If they like it, I'll buy some more before you sell it out."

The bamboo hat couldn't cover the whole body, the rain was blown by the wind, and Chen Qianjin's clothes were wet. Zhou Mei took the handkerchief and asked him to wipe it, and found that the water had penetrated the fabric of the clothes, so she asked him to change again, so as not to freeze up.

"No, let's cook right away. I'll light the fire for you, and it will dry after a while." Chen Qianjin waved his hand. The cotton jacket was thick, and the outer layer was still dry even though the cotton was wet.

Zhou Mei seemed to think of something fun, she smiled, and gave Chen Qianjin a nudge: "You should go and change it, it's not your turn to set the fire in our house now."

As if to prove what she said was true, as soon as Zhou Mei finished speaking, Chen Wan came out with her hands in her hands: "Sister-in-law, are you ready to cook? I'll make a fire for you!"

Zhou Mei glanced at Chen Qianjin, the meaning in her eyes was: Look, I am right.

The burning stove is the warmest place in the whole house, bar none.

Chen Qianjin couldn't help laughing, he still had to change his clothes.

The light of the fire shone on Chen Wan's face. The young man was burning hot. He squinted his eyes slightly, showing a contented expression like a cat's.

"It's time to eat." Sun Dahua shouted at the top of his throat, and his sharp voice passed through the courtyard wall to the next door, "Let's eat meat today, twice-cooked pork!"

"Cut, isn't it just eating stewed meat? What's there to be proud of?" Liu Qiang's mother rolled her eyes at Xu's family, and added another spoonful of oil to the pot vigorously. Although her family didn't eat meat, so many pigs Oil, still not bad.

When Xu Laiqian heard that there was meat, he rushed to the table at a speed that didn't suit his figure: "Mom, where is the meat? I want to eat meat!"

"Here I come, Mommy Rou is bringing you." Sun Dahua put the thick porcelain bowl containing meat in front of Xu Laiqian, she put too much soy sauce, the fried meat was dark, and she seemed to have no appetite .

But the smell of meat is real. Xu Laiqian picked up the big pieces of meat on the top with one chopstick, and the bottom was almost all chopped pickles.

"Hey, you brat, save some for me!" Xu Youcai hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and the father and son were fighting for a piece of meat on the table, the scene was extremely funny.

"This is the meat my mother bought with my tuition refund. Why do I keep it for you? You have to buy it yourself." Xu Laiqian quickly stuffed the meat into his mouth, and the noise was disgusting.

Sun Dahua wanted back Xu Laiqian's tuition fee for the last month, a total of two yuan. She was very proud, and felt that she was richer than Xu Youcai, and she became more and more prestige as a family member at home.

"How old is a man who still grabs meat from his son!" Sun Dahua held Xu Youcai's chopsticks and repeated Xu Laiqian's words, "If you want to eat, buy it yourself."

Xu Kongshan was used to the scene of the two being "benevolent father and filial son", Sun Dahua continued to sideline the fight, Xu Youcai had no money, and was defeated by Sun Dahua's glaring gaze.

"Dashan, go to the commune tomorrow and cut two catties of meat back." Xu Youcai couldn't beat Sun Dahua, so he put his idea on Xu Kongshan.

"I have no money." Xu Kongshan said bluntly, "Money is in Mom's hands."

"Don't you know how to chop firewood? After eating, chop two bundles of firewood and sell them, and you will be rich." Xu Youcai wanted to save face, so he insisted on Xu Kongshan, and he didn't even look at the weather outside.

Chopping firewood to sell?Fortunately, he can speak out!

Xu Kongshan didn't bother to talk to him, he wanted to chop firewood and he did it himself.

To say that Sun Dahua played the role of a loving mother seriously for several years in his life before he was seven years old, Xu Youcai is a complete scum, smoking, drinking, beating his wife, and never fulfilling the responsibility of being a father for a day, Xu Kongshan There is no feeling for him at all.

Of course, he didn't dare to hit Sun Dahua now. Ever since Xu Laiqian was born, Sun Dahua felt confident. If Xu Youcai beat him again, she would be able to chop him back with a knife. Once or twice, Xu Youcai didn't dare to do anything to her at all.

"It's wrong! One and two are wrong!" Xu Youcai was so angry that he dropped his chopsticks, his cloudy eyes were bloodshot.

He was fierce, but Sun Dahua was even more fierce than him, and snatched his bowl: "I like to eat, but I don't want to get away, I really think I'm a landlord after peeing."

It was common for the two to quarrel, and it often ended in Xu Youcai's failure.Xu Kongshan ate alone, without any intention of persuading a fight.

"Snapped--"

The scene was quiet for a moment, Xu Kongshan raised his eyes in astonishment, Sun Dahua tilted his head, and Xu Youcai maintained the posture of slapping his face.

"Xu Youcai, if you dare to hit me, I will fight you!"
