Chapter 179 Teammates like Pigs

Chapter 179 teammates like pigs

They ate too fast and had a big plate of dumplings. No matter how many good dishes were on the table, they could not eat them. Zhou Chunxing rubbed his round stomach, feeling a little weak, "I'm full. My stomach hurts a little."

Li Jianhong was still eating her second bowl of rice, reminding her, "If you eat too much, stand up and walk around the house. Eat slowly. It must be uncomfortable to eat so fast."

Li Haitang had already got up and went to the small living room to make a cup of tea for everyone. He smiled and said, "Stand up and walk. It's best to eat an eight-cent full meal in the future. Don't eat too full at one time. You can eat many meals a day."

"How many meals a day? Isn't it always three meals a day?" Zhou chunxing stood up and rubbed her stomach with both hands.

"Sometimes when you are hungry, you can eat some fruit porridge, which is equivalent to eating an extra meal." Li Haitang brought her a cup of tea.

Zhou Chunxing reached out and took it. He smiled and said, "That's true, but there are a lot of things to eat during the new year. We went to second Jiu's third uncle's house to play before. We ate a lot of food at their place. Counting, we ate a lot today."

"You have three meals a day, and I have four meals a day. When I live in town, I watch tv until 9: 00 pm. I'm always hungry. I usually cook the noodles before I go to bed." Li Tao hadn't put down his chopsticks yet, but he ate much slower and spoke to them with his head raised.

"You're a boy and you're growing up. That's different. You have to eat more." Liu Fen smiled.

Every morning when she cooked noodles, she would give Li Jianguo and his son more than two servings. Their men had to eat more and work more during the day, so they had to eat more to work.

When everyone was full, Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Chunxing immediately cleaned up the table and took the dishes to the kitchen behind them. With their help, Li Haitang would not join the fun. There were many hardworking people in the family, so she was happy to be lazy.

"Jianhong, although you have two daughters, both of them are very attentive and diligent. I only gave birth to one daughter, jin qiao. She is also very obedient and filial. The good fortune of the people who give birth to our daughter is still in the future. Let's just wait and live a good life." Although Liu Fen was married twice, she had always been in a good mood and was much better than li jianhong in this regard.

Li Jianhong took a sip of hot tea, smiled and did not follow up. The two daughters were very good, but they always thought that they would marry out in the future. She would be very lonely when she was old. It would be great if she had a son beside her.

This idea of raising children to protect the elderly has been passed down for thousands of years. It was not her who had such an idea. Liu Fen also knew what she was worried about. But thinking that this sister-in-law was actually only thirty-six or thirty-seven years old and still very young, she might meet a better marriage in the future.

In the afternoon, there was nothing else to do or go out to visit. The children were sitting around the small living room playing cards and the adults were watching. They played cards without money and were punished for losing by playing cards. It was funny and interesting.

Duan Jinqiao was not very good at fighting. She didn't participate. Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Chunxing sat face to face, Li Haitang and Li Tao were a couple.

Li Haitang thought Li Tao should be good at cards. After all, when he was young, he always played with Deng Wenfang. How could he know that he was terrible at cards? After being played several times in a row, he roared angrily, "Li Tao, do you know how to play cards? There's a saying that you're not afraid of a god-like opponent, but of a pig-like teammate, and that's what you mean by a pig-like teammate."

Li Tao also knew that he was a terrible poker player, giggling and holding out his hand to allow the Zhou family sisters to play.

"Haha..." Everyone else grinned and laughed. Li Tao was really bad at cards.

"Get out of the way and let dad come."

Li Haitang was very dissatisfied. Her cards were always good, but with such a stupid teammate, no matter how good the cards were, they couldn't win.

Li Jianguo glanced at his son with a smile, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand that he didn't know when to light, and helped his daughter, "Taoer, get out of the way. Don't make a fool of yourself. Your father was better at playing cards than you were when I was three years old."

"Haha... Haha..."

This was the first time Li Jianguo had despised his son, and everyone couldn't help laughing together. Even Li Tao was so happy that he almost fell to the ground.

"Uncle is here, so we won't slap him." Zhou chunxing suggested with a smile. If she wins, she can't hit her elders.

"Okay, if you don't hit my palm, I'll be hit red by both of you. You guys are too strong." Li Haitang stretched out his tender white hand and it was indeed red.

The Zhou family sisters were so happy that they couldn't stop. They really only used their usual strength to work. How did they know that her hands were so easy to beat?

In the first round, the father and daughter worked together happily and killed the Zhou family sisters.

Li Haitang gave Li Tao a look of disdain, "Li Tao, watch and learn. You can't even play cards so badly. I'll buy you a pig head later."

"Haha..." Duan Jinqiao laughed so hard that she almost cramped up, and her card skills were poor, probably similar to Li Tao's, but she knew she wouldn't join the fun.

The family played happily for an hour, and the second and third uncles came over to play. The Zhou family sisters gave up their seats to their uncles and Li Haitang gave up their seats to their aunts, but they didn't play, so she had to continue playing with them.

At five o' clock, the two uncles and the three uncles went home to prepare new year's eve dinner. They got up and went to the kitchen to cook dinner together.

After dinner, everyone was playing with fireworks and firecrackers in the sun valley terrace. When the spring festival gala started on tv, they entered the house to watch tv.

At twelve o' clock sharp, as the bell of the new year rang, the last day of the eighties passed, and the hopeful and opportunistic nineties came.

After setting off the firecrackers to welcome the new year, Li Haitang gave Li Tao, Duan Jinqiao and the Zhou family sisters each a twenty yuan new year's purse. He also took the three elders' new year's purse and went back to his room to sleep happily.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the three brothers of the li family took turns to have a reunion dinner.

This morning's meal was still at big brother Li Jianguo's house this year.

Li Haitang got up early in the morning, and the kitchen was crowded, so she didn't join in. Pulling Duan Jinqiao back into the house, she took the red paper and asked her to help cut out all kinds of small red envelopes. Later on, Li Yang and the others will come over to pay new year's eve, and she will give them a new year's purse.

There were twenty yuan in the red packet, which was completely different from last year's treatment. After all, the relationship had changed a lot in the past year and was no longer as estranged as usual. When Li Yang and the others arrived, she distributed the red packet to them.

Each child costs 20 yuan, which is really a big deal in the countryside. Zhao Chunhua and lu hongyu grinned from ear to ear.

Before the banquet, Li Jianguo, Liu Fen and Li Jianhong also gave the children a red envelope. Their red envelopes were not so big, but they were more than usual. The children were so happy. In the past, one yuan was enough to excite them for many days, but today they received several tens yuan, which was enough for their annual allowance.

The first meal of the new year was cooked by Liu Fen, the new hostess. There were a lot of meat dishes. It was necessary to have plum and pork. There was also a very bad mutton stewed radish. This mutton was bought by Li Jianguo to the butcher. There are also braised fish, potatoes, chicken, beer duck, braised pork trotters, large bowl of specialty vegetables, stir-fried lettuce.

Before the dishes were served, a large portion of dumplings and a bowl of dumplings were served. Everyone was never tired of eating these two dishes, and they were divided equally on the table.

After eating the two, Liu Fen divided the large bowl of mutton and radish soup into one bowl each, and explained Li Haitang's story. Hearing how nutritious this dish was, everyone even drank the soup and the ingredients.

"After eating these, I'm full." Li Haitang had a big bowl of mutton soup, and Li Jianguo had specially picked up several large pieces of mutton for her. She had eaten them all, and now she burped from time to time.

"Your appetite isn't that good in the morning. Take a break and eat something else later." Liu Fen put the last bit of lamb and radish in Li Jianguo's bowl and removed the empty bowl.

Li Jiangang finished the last mouthful of soup and asked, "Big brother, where did you buy this lamb? How much is a kilo?"

"Butcher liu bought it in town. It looks like it's from the second sister-in-law's family. It's three yuan a catty."

Last year, pork was a piece of 21 jin, which had increased a little this year. Now it's a piece of 4, and mutton is so expensive, which is much more expensive than pig. Li Jiangang pondered for a moment and looked at the woman who was eating and drinking beside him, "Zhao Chunhua, how many sheep do you want to raise at home next year?"

"Raising sheep?" Zhao Chunhua, who was munching on the pig's feet, paused and swallowed the meat before asking, "Why do you suddenly want to raise a sheep?"

"My eldest brother just said that the mutton is sold for three yuan a catty, and there are not many households in Ping shan town that have sheep. A sheep is estimated to be about sixty to eighty catties, which is nearly two hundred yuan. Apart from the cost of buying lambs, it is not necessary to feed them any food on a daily basis. Just feed them more weeds, grasses or crop straws. These things can be done by Li Ya and Li Hui after school without delaying your work in the fields." Li Jiangang could barely feed and clothe the family by himself, but he also wanted to save more money to build a new house or add some good appliances and furniture to the family in the future, and to save money for his son and daughter's school fees.

Zhao Chunhua's small eyes swirled around as if he was thinking and calculating. The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. Then he thought of something and said worriedly, "What if you can't sell it?"

Li Jiangang was more knowledgeable than she was, and he answered firmly, "If we can sell it, even if we can't sell it in Ping shan town, we can sell it in the county. During the first half of the dragon boat festival, I was still working at the Shaoxian cement factory. I happened to be back that day. When I was waiting for a car in the county, I went to a large market nearby and saw someone killing sheep and selling them on the spot. The people who live near the market are all people who work in government agencies. They have money in their hands, and they buy a pound or two of mutton. One sheep is sold out in less than an hour."

"Really?" The hesitation in Zhao Chunhua's eyes flew away in an instant, and he said happily, "Listen to you. Let's try raising sheep this year. Then, how many should we raise?"

While Li Jiangang was still hesitating, li hui, who was sitting at the table next to him, ran over with a bowl and said excitedly, "Dad, raise ten heads."
