Many people came, and some children came to join in the excitement. A few young men dragged pig's ear and drove a fat pig out of the pigsty, then directly pressed it on the ground, tied it with ropes and carried it into the yard upside down.
The third aunt's husband watched the people carrying the shoulder pole walk askew, and couldn't help shouting, "My dear, this pig is fat enough, at least three or four hundred kilograms." He carried the pig to the bench and tied it with a rope. Lu Yuan stood beside him in anxiety.
When killing a pig, the owner's family couldn't help. The husband of the third aunt wiped the pig knife aside and said to Lu Yuandao, "Little Lu, have you seen my pig killing basin? Fill it with boiling water, and you'll have to scald the pig's hair later. Then ask your mother to take out some basins, and you'll have pig's blood later."
Lu Yuan looked at the corner of the wall and saw that it was a big wooden basin with shiny oil inside. He didn't dare to delay, so he put down the wooden basin and took the bucket to the kitchen to scoop up boiling water. Li Yuxiang came out with several washbasins, which were full of salt.
Lu Chang was also woken up by the noise outside. He came out with his clothes on. Before he left the house, Lu Yuan drove him in, saying that the scene was too bloody for her to see. Lu Yao also hid in the house, leaving only a few old men there.
The third aunt's husband is a good move. He presses the pig's head, points it at the chin and cuts it. The blood was sprayed out. Li Yuxiang quickly took a basin to pick it up, and then changed to Lu Yuan.
Someone said with a smile, "Qiangzi, your level is rising."
The third aunt's husband held the knife in one hand and pressed the pig's head in the other. He said with a smile, "You are not nonsense. I killed pigs with the old man when I was in my teens and helped him to pick up trouble. Can I do this thing well?"
Lu Yuan did not understand and could not see the level. Someone there explained to Lu Yuan: "This pig killing is about a knife. The blood is red and foamy, and the pig will die soon. This is a high level. If the knife is not dead, the pig is still barking, and the blood is black and little, the water level will be low."
The husband of the third aunt over there put down the knife, reached out to take the cigarette offered by others, and smiled and said, "Yes, if the knife is not dead and the blood stays in the pig, the meat will not be delicious."
Lu Yuan knew that the blood was not clean, and the smell of pork was heavy.
After the blood was clean, the third aunt's husband took a knife to cut the pig's hoof again, puffed his cheeks, and soon the pig's belly was puffed up. Several people carried the pig into the killing basin filled with boiling water, and then began to cut the pig's hair.
This is not the end of the story. The host family has to work on lunch. But at noon, we also eat blood curd and some wine.
After washing their hands and changing their clothes, some of them had already run to the hall and sat up to watch the TV set. The power supply in the village was not long ago, and the lights were not even installed. It's not like Lu Yuan's family that even moved back the color TV.
Getting up early is still the morning news. The other stations haven't started to play yet, and the opera channel is singing "The Daughter in Law". Several old people are happy to hear it.
Someone asked, "Lu Yuan, why don't you buy a video recorder? How many tapes are you getting back?"
"It's not convenient. I have to rent the tape, which costs one yuan a day. I don't come back every month, but I bring some tapes back, which cost me a hundred yuan a month. This money is too unjustified." Lu Yuan sat beside him, but he was not at home, so he had to take care of things at home. It's nothing but smoking, drinking tea, chatting and farting.
When I arrived for lunch, someone came to my home, Lu Yuan's aunt. She didn't speak either. She entered the room with her hands behind her back and smiled. She walked around the hall and looked at the color TV. Then she said to Lu Yuan:
"Yuan'er, why didn't you shout when you saw my aunt?"
Luyuan birds are not birds. This guy doesn't stop at the door for anything. It's not good to stop at the door. Will Lu Yuan did not speak, but said, 'After reading for so many years, I have read into the dog's stomach, and I don't know how to shout when I see the elders'.
Lu Yuan said to himself, you also know that you are an elder. If you were not an elder, I would have slapped you.
Unexpectedly, the aunt ran to the kitchen again, and went to greet Li Yuxiang who was cooking the pot. Li Yuxiang didn't take her to buy it. He fried vegetables and replied, "Elder sister, just say what you want to say. It's boring to put it around here. Tell me, what do you like about my family?"
The aunt covered her mouth and smiled and waved her hand. "Little sister, what you said is too strange. I'm your sister, can I ask you for something? I'm here to discuss something with you. My son talked about a girl. The woman's family is going to watch the house. Can you lend the color TV to our family for a few days?"
Li Yuxiang almost laughed when he heard this. It was really shameful. He came to borrow a color TV set for the Spring Festival. Lu Yao's story also made her know the urine nature of these children and sisters. Although she had cried several times, her sister made such a fuss, but later she thought that her son, girl and husband were the ones who were close.
I thought that the relationship would be broken after that thing ended. Unexpectedly, I came to borrow a color TV set.
Looking at the elder sister who was waiting for an answer, Li Yuxiang shook her head
When ordinary people hear this, they will recognize it and never mention it again. But Aunt shamelessly ran to the main room and said to Lu Yuan, "Yuan'er, your mother agreed to lend me the color TV for a few days. You help me unplug the plug and I will take it back."
How could Lu Yuan be deceived by her? Lu Chang had told him so long ago and hurriedly put his aunt's hand out to hold the TV. "My mother didn't say that, did she?"
"Yuan'er, are you still here to compete with me? If your cousin goes to his daughter-in-law, I'll borrow it for a few days and send it back to you when I'm finished. I'm your aunt, and I can cheat you. I watched you grow up when you wore open crotch pants as a child."
This is a trick, but he began to play emotion cards again.
Auntie occupied the color TV set. Seeing that there was a wire behind it, she didn't know how to pull the plug. She said quickly, "Come and help me."
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes when he listened, and said to himself, I believe you are a big headed ghost. When things arrive at their home, they don't need to be old. If they are worn out, don't expect to return them. He sat there and lit his cigarette slowly. Then he said, "My cousin is getting married. Why don't I know?"
"The new year girl's house is going to be filled with people on the appointed day." Seeing Lu Yuan's dreamy appearance, Aunt Lu's mouth blistered and dared not urge him.
Lu Yuan asked back: "What's the relationship between the girl's family and me?"
"That's your cousin..."
"It's not me who got married. Why did you bother with me? When we set the date for the banquet, we didn't think of us, but now we want to borrow something?" Lu Yuan smiled and crossed his legs. "I remember someone said that he didn't recognize our relative. Why did he come here now?"
There was someone nearby who said, "His aunt, I'm going to talk about you. You borrowed the color TV to go home. Isn't that a lie to the girl's family? If the girl's family knows, can it be finished?"
The aunt was stunned. After a long time, she murmured, "When the girl goes home, we will buy another one by ourselves."
"It's not too late to go shopping now. You can go to the city directly by riding on the road and waiting for the bus. You can walk faster and get home before dark." Lu Yuan smiled angrily. That's why I want to get the color TV back from him. I don't want to buy when I have money. I came here to borrow it at the first time. It's just funny.
All the people around are laughing crazily.
Everyone was ashamed of her. It was shameless to show such a relative that he could even tell his daughter-in-law to borrow a color TV set. The aunt stood in the hall, her face flushed with anger, her teeth clenched, and pointed hard at Lu Yuan, then turned her head and walked away.
Lu Yuan is also speechless. He is such a relative on the stall.
