I'm really just the village head

Looking in the direction of his father's sight, Liu Chunlai discovered that by the yard, two thin middle-aged men with thin bodies and full of patched gowns did not know when they squatted on the corner of the dam to look at the situation in the yard.

These are the two doglegs of the old man, almost thirty or so naked.

Two of the 348 bachelors in Hulu Village.

When it's okay, just wait near home, waiting for the secretary's instructions, in the end, you can get some food and some cigarettes.

When the party secretary was okay, he helped Yang Aiqun feed pig grass, or go down the river to touch mussels to cook and feed the pigs. Otherwise, Liu Fuwang's pigs could not grow so fast.

In the past collective production, 120 kilograms of fat pigs can be considered a first class; in recent years, households have contracted production, and people who have more food would rather people not eat, but also feed the pigs with grain. First-class fat pigs cost 180 kilograms.

Although Yang Aiqun likes to take a small advantage, selling pigs will also give them a few dollars, and killing pigs will also chop a piece of meat for them.

Therefore, the two of them gave Liu Fuwang a dogfight.

More like a family member than Liu Chunlai.

Hearing Liu Fuwang's greetings, the two of them naturally stayed idle, and surrounded the biggest pig that was still arching around the dam with bare hands.

"Uncle Liu, really don't feed it anymore? The pig hasn't gotten fat yet, it's on the shelf. It's less than three-finger fat. It's selling now, and it's a bit of a loss."

Jiang Jianqing painfully compared two fingers to the branch secretary.

The food station accepts pigs, and the experienced master can tell at a glance how big the pigs are and how much meat they produce.

To accurately estimate, you will touch and pinch everywhere on the pig. In the end, a pig of more than two hundred catties will kill how much meat, the error will not exceed one catty.

The food station accepts pigs and divides them into grades based on the skill of the master.

Different levels, different prices.

Although the pigs are well fed, they are too hot in summer and only start to get fat in autumn.

After feeding for a while, I got fat. By the end of the year, I would have to go up to 300 catties, and now it will be less than 200 catties.

Although Jiang Jianqing killed pigs, he also felt it was a pity.

The bigger and fatter the pig, the more meat.

The butcher is a part-time job, and is essentially a farmer who cultivates the land.

"Yeah, dad, feed it for a while. The river is full of water a few days ago, and there will be more mussels after a burst of mussels. After feeding a burst of mussels, the pig gets fat, and it will be a lot fatter..."

Liu Xue also came out, looking at the unfat pig, a little reluctant.

"Do you still want to study?" Liu Chunlai threatened Liu Xue, "I still owe people dozens of dollars!"

After finally distracting my old mother, the fourth child appeared again.

Liu Xue stopped speaking immediately.

The family affairs are in the care of the old lady. The second sister and the third sister are married, and the father has not taken care of them. Originally, they didn't receive the bride price for marriage here, but they had to give a large dowry.

The son is prodigal, the old mother protects the calf, but...

Including Liu Xue himself being forced to marry, if it weren't for Liu Chunlai's uncle who suddenly changed sex, Liu Fuwang probably wouldn't care.

Liu Chunlai also went to help press the pig, and finally grabbed the pig's tail. As a result, he was kicked by the pig's two hind legs. The ground slipped again and he fell to the ground.

Ergou and Lean Monkey were also knocked down by the pig.

Liu Fuwang despised several people.

The old guy is a ruthless man, in his early fifties, with a one-foot-long cigar stick in his mouth. He walks like flying and shoots as fast as lightning. He catches up with the pig, grabs one ear with his left hand, and hugs the pig’s neck with his right hand. As soon as the ground was forced, a fat pig that could not be held by three people was overturned to the ground.

The corners of Liu Chunlai's mouth twitched, seeing that he hadn't had any pain while sitting on the ground.

No wonder no one in the entire brigade dared to challenge the old man.

It is estimated that it was more fierce than this on the battlefield back then?

Seeing the pig fell to the ground, Ergou and Lean Monkey hurried up to help press.

"Wow~"

Being pressed to the ground by a few strong laborers, the fat pig screamed, struggling, and soon his four legs were tied up with rope.

"Look for a stick, Xiao Jiang, call it, you're in the palm."

Jiang Jianqing didn't react until Liu Fuwang shouted after the pigs were tied up.

The pigs on the ground were so tossed with excrement and urine, Yang Aiqun, who had just returned from carrying water, was heartbroken.

"He who chopped his head, weigh it and then pull it!"

Weighed it out, it was the butcher's.

Before it was called, it belonged to the master.

Including food delivery stations, this is also the convention.

Even in front of the butcher, she was not embarrassed.

It's a few dollars.

The big scale hook hooked the rope that tied the pig, and two thin men took wooden bars thicker than their arms and passed through the top of the big scale rod and lifted them up.

Liu Chunlai was curious about how hard these two thin goods are.

Jiang Jianqing had no choice but to hang the weight on the back weighing pole.

"Be flat, flat..."

Seeing that Jiang Jianqing kept moving the weighing mound little by little, the weighing rod was raised high, and Yang Aiqun, who was carrying a water bag, kept calling him to move the weighing mound back.

"You mother-in-law, Xiao Jiang is fairer than the food station, what nonsense!"

Liu Fuwang didn't look at the scale beside him, and looked at Qizhu's son with his back hand.

As if it doesn't care about his business.

Jiang Jianqing did not pinch the rope on the scale until the weighing rod was pushed down at the end, and the weight was about to fall.

"208."

Yang Aiqun is very satisfied with the result.

"Feed too much, add a big rope, divide 15 catties of skin, count 193."

"Uncle Liu, this is not enough, the pig has already been pulled just now..."

"Yes, I just pulled it..."

Yang Aiqun’s face was full of fleshy pain, and he wanted to plug Liu Fuwang’s mouth with pig dung.

She didn't feel heavy when she carried water on her shoulders.

"Either follow me, take the pig away, or stop selling it."

Liu Fuwang was too lazy to talk nonsense.

Poor go poor, don’t take advantage of this.

"Exclude 8 catties of skin." Liu Chunlai put forward a solution next to him.

Yang Aiqun was the first to support.

It's not because she values ​​her son, but because she is afraid that her prodigal husband will continue to remove 15 catties for the sake of face, and what she just pulled is poop and urine.

In addition to 15 catties...

Jiang Jianqing felt that it was reasonable, so he didn't talk nonsense.

This is not a disadvantage.

"Uncle, I will give you 7 cents and 5 jin, a total of 150...I only took 80 yuan with me, look..."

After weighing the accounts, he should have given the money and left.

When a butcher collects pigs, he usually kills and sells the meat and then pays for it. Anyway, they are all nearby, so they are not afraid to run away.

But right now this is the captain and secretary.

"I'm not afraid you will run away."

Liu Fuwang was not worried at all.

He is not a good husband, not a competent father, but he is a good village head, a good secretary, especially his life, he is more admirable.

Otherwise, it is impossible for such a poor village to never have trouble.

"Feed for a few more months, at least 300 catties, and you can get 50 catties for fattening food..."

Yang Aiqun, who had already put down the bucket, looked at Jiang Jianqing, who was driving the pig away with a stick, and then looked at the 8 Great Unity in his hands. It was painful.

"In the beginning, if you didn't take the Guo family money, you had to sell pigs. It was lighter then."

Liu Fuwang finally spoke, as comforting his wife.

Liu Fuwang never knows how to sell pigs at home. Even other money and food are ignored. Yang Aiqun is responsible for everything in the family.

Yang Aiqun took out three pieces of Great Unity, turned around and handed them to Liu Chunlai next to him.

"Mom, I'll give my 20th to the fourth. The tuition, books, and living expenses. You keep the remaining ten yuan. I need the money to find you again..." Liu Chunsheng froze for a moment, then took two directly and handed them to no Liu Xue who said.

"You last night..." Liu Xue didn't want it. Liu Chun came to her last night and gave her more than twenty.

Liu Chunlai winked hurriedly, not to let the old lady know that she gave the fourth child all the private money, or she would have to ask the fourth child to come back.

"I got the information from last night at a big price, so keep it well."

Liu Xue naturally knew.

I should have laughed, but I cried.

And beside him, there was a louder cry: "God has eyes, my son has finally grown up, but now the mother-in-law has nothing to do, God can't open eyes..."

Yang Aiqun's cries made Liu Chunlai hurry to coax his mother.

In the past, Liu Chunlai would not keep a penny for how much money the old lady had.

Now finally knowing that it is not easy at home and leaving money for my old lady, Yang Aiqun naturally felt that God had opened his eyes.

But thinking that his son is going to be bachelor, Yang Aiqun is even more sad, and he feels that God is not open to...

"Howl? Quickly cook breakfast. After eating, I will take him to the fourth team to take the post."

Liu Fuwang glared at Yang Aiqun, seeing his son finally pleasing his eyes.

Breakfast is already cooked in the pot.

When Yang Aiqun shouted for breakfast, even if Ergou and Lean Monkey, who were sincerely and kindly shouting for help, had dinner, they both returned home.

The whole village is poor.

No one is rich.

Besides, Yang Aiqun didn't cook theirs at first.

If the two of them ate, someone in the old Liu's family must be hungry.

"Skinny Monkey, you go to the fourth team in a moment, tell them that they want to eat and marry their wives, they are all in the public room waiting for the meeting.

When the two of them left, Liu Fuwang lost a packet of Chunyu cigarettes produced by the County Cigarette Factory without filters and 8 cents per packet.

Liu Chunlai saw a heartfelt gratification from the faces of the two.

People in these days are too easily satisfied.

Therefore, happiness is simple.

The original Liu Chunlai smiled on his face every day, but he didn't know how many years he had never had a smile from the heart.

The breakfast is simple, the sorghum rice is green with chopped red sweet potato leaves.

Rao is like this. Except for Liu Chunlai's bowl, the other people's bowls can still show people's shadows.

Sorghum rice is not crushed, and the skin with the skin is not easy to digest and resists hunger.

"Mom, I just want to have a sip."

As always, Liu Chunlai's bowl is the driest of all bowls.

It is estimated that most of the sorghum in the pot is in his bowl.

Even daddy Liu Fuwang can see the bottom in one bite without moving his chopsticks.

Liu Xue's work is better than Yang Aiqun's and Liu Fuwang's.

Liu Chunlai directly poured the contents of the bowl into the pot and spooned again the soup with chopped red vetch leaves floating on the surface.

Pry some chopped peppers from the glass bottle of canned fruit on the table in the hall, mix it in the bowl, and directly hold the large-headed serving bowl. As soon as you raise your neck, the bowl sees the bottom.

He didn't dare to savor the taste for fear of nausea.

But the feeling of skinned sorghum passing through the throat is really bad.

The sweet potato leaves were originally fed to pigs, but nowadays, the wheat that has just been harvested in the field has been handed over for summer grain, and there is not much leftover that has to be kept for the New Year and can only eat these.

There was a chilly sauce, which made Liu Chunlai unable to calm down.

After a bowl of soup, the belly even swells and is full.

Enduring the uncomfortable stomach, Liu Chunlai took the initiative to pick up the bucket and pole next to him, and carried water...

He knew that after a while, he would be hungry once he was done soaking in urine.

Loving mothers are so miserable. It's not unreasonable that Liu Chunlai can be such a bastard.

In addition to crying, Yang Aiqun did not stop her son.

The son really knows how to feel sorry for others.

"Fourth, we will count on you in the future. Don't save money, spend what you should, don't lose yourself. Usually, don't come back if there is nothing wrong at home. If you have no money, go to Zhao Guang'er. Brother knows you. Don't like him, others are not bad..."

After the meal, Liu Chunlai and Dad are going to the fourth team, which happens to be the same road for Liu Xue.

When they were separated, Liu Chunlai told Liu Xue.

"When you get to the commune, take a car. It's thirty miles to the county seat. It takes three or four hours to walk, and only one hour by car. The time saved is enough to review a few knowledge points..."

Liu Chunlai stopped Liu Xue who was going to the county seat.

The trail is much closer than the highway, but it is difficult to walk.

A girl’s house, no one on the same road.

From going to high school in the county seat, the two daughters of the Liu family depended on walking.

I have never taken a car to go to the city. I usually have people on the same road during holidays, but there has been no problem.

Liu Chunlai is not a person of this age, and he is afraid that a girl will have a problem. There are many bachelors in the countryside!

The city is also not clean, and there are still two months left, and the crackdown is coming.

"How can it be so hypocritical, it takes more than three hours to walk, save the fare, can eat for two days." Liu Fuwang said.

This son is really spoiled.

"Liu Chunlai, why don't you jump into the river before the eldest sister and the second sister get married?"

Liu Xue gritted her teeth and looked at Liu Chunlai, and asked Liu Chunlai cryingly, tears like broken beads, constantly falling...

Liu Chunlai could not answer.

"Don't worry, Xia Qing and Qiu Ju, brother will make up for them."

Liu Chunlai felt uncomfortable, and he was obviously unwilling to promise, but he did not know why, and solemnly made a promise to Liu Xue.

Until this moment, he has not been integrated into this family and this era.

The two sisters didn't wait for Liu Chun to switch sex, and they didn't get married well.

On the other hand, Liu Xue can go to university and realize her dream. How can she not feel uncomfortable?

In the end, Liu Xue still set foot on the path.

In order to save 3 cents in the fare.
