Chapter 113 Everyone is busy, let’s be busy
"Busy, everyone is busy...it's better to be busy..."
In an old house, Jiang Xiyue was lying on a rattan rocking chair, looking out the sunny window with empty eyes, her bare legs resting on the table in front of the rocking chair.
Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is only one day left until New Year's Eve. Dad and Mom went to buy some ingredients for .
But the old couple had a great time and just called to say they wouldn’t be back at noon and asked her to make her own lunch.
Xiaohui was busy cleaning the coffee shop, but she was not allowed to help, saying that she was afraid she would get bumped and would not be able to explain to Linzhou.
But that guy Linzhou must be having a lot of fun with his childhood friends right now. I wonder if there are any girls among them.
So annoying, so boring...
What to eat for lunch! She didn’t want to stand on a small stool to cook lunch. This was still in the suburbs, and there was no delivery boy. Otherwise, she would just wait for her father and mother to come back hungry.
Jiang Xiyue turned over with force and saw her savior, a handsome young man in a windbreaker walking in from outside the door.
Excitedly getting up from the chair, the girl opened the door for her younger brother.
"Brother, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, your sister would have starved to death..."
"I'll starve you to death, you bastard. I'm going to sing with my friends this afternoon and play billiards. Do you want to come and join us?" While speaking, Jiang Xixing opened the thermal box in his hand and took out the steamed buns and home-cooked side dishes from it.
When Jiang Xiyue saw the gray incubator, she knew that it was from her grandmother's house and that she was the one who bought it.
Ignoring her brother's invitation, the girl sat on a small stool and ate happily.
The buns and dishes were hot.
My grandmother's house is seven kilometers away from here. My brother rides his bike quite fast. Maybe he has exercised recently.
So the girl held the bun in her mouth and spoke to Jiang Xixing in slurred words.
" Brother I've never asked you for anything in my life. How about letting me touch your abdominal muscles?"
"Hurry up and crawl. How old are you? Siblings and brothers should avoid suspicion. Why are you still the same as when you were little?" Jiang Xixing dodged his sister's sudden advance and returned to his room.
As for whether to take my sister there in the afternoon, the answer is definitely no. If my sister wants to, she will definitely say it.
Looking at the closed door of the room, the girl took the bun out of her mouth and muttered softly.
"Little Star is already a big kid, it's not as fun as when he was little."
The girl recalled that when she was young, as an older sister, she had to coax her younger brother. Now, it is her younger brother who coaxes her. When she goes to her grandmother's house, she still remembers to bring food to her, an empty-nest elderly woman.
After taking a bite of the steamed bun stuffed with sauerkraut and pork, Jiang Xiyue returned to her dazed state.
Now she was extremely curious about what Linzhou was doing, but she couldn't make the call. She pressed the button many times and quickly hung up.
If she called Linzhou now, it would mean that she cared about some bad guy, and she didn't want to care about that.
How is it possible that you want me to be cared for after leaving me here all alone!
It’s just that Zhou Zhou is going home for the New Year, so she can’t rush him, nor does she want to…
Even more annoying... eating !!!
………
At the same time, on the other side, at Linzhou Grandpa’s house, the village’s uncles and aunts were standing in the yard. Several strong laborers were smoking cigarettes and carrying a big fat pig onto the rack.
Everyone present was very happy. The only unhappy creature was probably the pig that was about to ascend to heaven.
The piglet seemed a little tired after being carried here from the pigsty, and did not make any loud noise.
The old man squatting on the ground next to him was sharpening a knife, a butcher knife that had been used for decades. When Linzhou was a child, the knife was two fingers wide, but now it is probably only one and a half fingers wide.
This old man is Linzhou Grandpa’s fifth brother and the sixth child. He will be 63 years old after the Chinese New Year, but he is still very energetic.
After sharpening the knife, the old man glanced at Linzhou who was standing not far away.
"Zhou Zhou, go back to the house. What is a kid doing looking at this thing..."
"Sixth Master, we are not children anymore. We are 19 years old." Linzhou was still a little curious and planned to stay and watch, so he explained.
After hearing this, the old man took the knife in his hand and pointed at a big rock next to him.
"Go and see what's up there. It's broken free. It's so powerful..."
Since it was the love and concern of the elders, Linzhou didn't say much. He stood on the big rock, took out his mobile phone to take a photo and sent it to Jiang Xiyue.
[It's a huge sun: [Picture] I'm watching a pig being slaughtered, what are you doing? ]
[There are many stars: I am eating, and... I think I miss you? ]
[It's a huge sun: Then I will go back to find you after receiving the New Year's money on the first day of the new year? ]
[There are many stars: Spend more time with your family, I'm not in a hurry, I will play by myself...]
…
Looking at the message sent by Jiang Xiyue, Linzhou's mouth twitched slightly, but he still resisted the urge to complain and sent an exact time to return.
I will go back on the fifth day.
While Linzhou was thinking about this, the knife had already stabbed along the pig's neck and into its heart.
After screaming for a while, the pig stood up straight.
The next step is to remove the hair, cut the meat, and perform a series of other operations. Lunch is a big pot of pig-killing dishes and steamed buns, but it can only be eaten at two o'clock in the afternoon.
This pork is black pork, and it will be delicious no matter how it is cooked, but the red meat part may be a bit dry.
Putting the cell phone in his pocket, Linzhou jumped down from the big rock and went back to the house. His father was packing things, and the pig-killing matter had nothing to do with him.
He just needs to give some meat and a cigarette to Sixth Grandpa.
But at this time, there were several gift bags on the ground, all filled with straw. After seeing Lin Zhou coming in, Lin's father pointed at one of the bags.
"When you return to Jiancheng on the fifth day of the new year, I'll get you some grains. Take this with you and give it to his father when you go to Jiang Xiyue's house."
"Don't worry, you must bring gifts when you visit in the first month of the lunar year." Linzhou waved his hand, picked up a bag, and planned to put it somewhere he could remember.
However, he was stunned when he saw the space next to the gift bag.
Why should there be a gap in this good wine? It is not ...
While Linzhou was thinking, the whole Huazi had been stuffed in, filling up the gift bag perfectly. There was only a finger-wide gap left at the side, which looked like it could still hold some more things.
Looking at the cigarettes and alcohol in the bag, Linzhou thought thoughtfully. This was almost the thickness of ten thousand yuan.
Got it...
After studying the technology of sauce-flavored liquor, Linzhou was not in a hurry. He casually placed the gift bag next to his luggage and patted his father on the shoulder.
"Dad, I'm going to the factory on the fourth day of the New Year. Is the old machine tool still there?"
"Here, if you need it, I'll find a master for you."
