Chapter 440

It's impossible to go back home to pay a new year's call when it's new year's day. Before the weather gets warmer, it's just a chance to go back. They want to prepare a lot of things for their relatives.

Li Zhuang's family took advantage of the money, went out to buy good things before curfew, and rented a carriage by the way.

The next day, Xu Qing and his family drove out of the city and went to Changxi village.

Xu Qing was lying in the carriage covered with a quilt. She was still covered with Mrs. Tang in the quilt. She swayed along with the carriage and soon fell asleep.

They didn't stop all the way. They only took a rest when it was dark and arrived at Changxi village in the afternoon two days later.

Xu Qing and Li Changting went to see the patriarch first.

Now Li Jing is the patriarch, and the patriarch should be called the old patriarch.

"Xu Qing and Changting are back!" When the villagers on the road saw Li Changting's carriage, they immediately looked surprised, and then spread the good news.

Before long, the whole village knew that Xu Qing had come back.

"Brother, sister-in-law." With a happy smile, Li Jing takes the big basket in Xu Qing's hand and invites them into the room.

"It's warm in the room. Come in and sit down." Li Zhuang's parents also came out to pour tea and prepare meals for Xu Qing and Li Changting.

"Grandfather, my brother and sister-in-law are back!" Li Jing yelled into the room, and soon there was a rush of footsteps in the room.

"Uncle." Seeing the old clan leader with white hair on his temples, Li Changting called.

"You are back. Are you planning to stay in the village for the new year?" The old patriarch looked at the couple pleasantly and asked.

Xu Qing shook his head and said with a smile, "we only come back to see you. We don't plan to spend the new year in the village."

The old patriarch was a little disappointed, but his low mood passed quickly. He soon asked the couple to come into the house to have a rest and asked Li Jing to prepare fruit tea.

"When you come, stay at home for a few more days." The old patriarch said, "Changting, we have built your house on the mountain for you."

"What are you doing with it?" Li Changting was puzzled.

Their house burned down in the natural disaster, because they didn't plan to come back to live, so they didn't plan to rebuild it. They were ready to let it go. As like as two peas in the old house,

, "you have come back from the house when you want to repair it. When spring came, ah Qing gave the village so many poultry. We had nothing to repay. When everyone was free, he had a part to help rebuild your house. It was exactly like what it used to be.

Xu Qing accepted the kindness and said with a smile, "that's just when we can live back at night. Thank you for your hard work."

The old clan leader waved his hand: "it's hard work. Thanks to the poultry you gave us, someone bought them last month. We sold some of them and made a lot of money."

Li Jing interjected: "there were a lot of people who wanted to buy pigs, but we didn't agree when you were away. Now there are still people buying pigs, and the price is higher than before."

Xu Qing: "let's go to the pigsty and have a look."

The pig house is not far from the river. After half a year's expansion, there are already ten pig houses. In addition to two sows, there are 22 six month old pigs and 21 three month old piglets.

A pig six months old is not very big. It will take at least two or three more months to slaughter. However, in winter, when the plants wither and there is no sufficient feed, the pig will not only grow little, but also lose weight, so the gain is not worth the loss.

The three pig farmers in the pigsty treat these pigs as their ancestors every day. They give them good food and drink every day. The pigsty is also clean, and all the pigs in it are fat.

It's not easy to raise pigs in winter. Now it's up to Xu Qing to sell or kill them.

The three-month-old piglets couldn't move. Looking at 22 six-month-old pigs, Xu Qing finally decided to sell only half of them.

However, before selling, Xu Qing asked the pig breeder to choose two males and two females to keep as seed, and then sold the remaining 18 pigs for another 10.

The pig buyer had been staring at the pigsty in Changxi village for a long time. Unfortunately, he didn't sell the piglets, but ten pigs would be enough for him to make a big profit.

Li Jing looked at the remaining eight pigs in the pigsty and asked, "do you want to kill these pigs?"

"Well, kill two first." Xu Qing looked at the three pig farmers, "you three go in and pick one, and then you divide it by yourself."

Three people a Leng, Lengshen after full of disbelief: "give us?"

Xu Qing nodded: "it's hard for you to raise pigs. This is the new year's welfare. You deserve it."

The three laughed happily, and after the surprise, they quickly thank Xie Xuqing.

Xu Qing: "kill another head by the way, one for the patriarch, one for each family in the village."

Li Jing: "I have it, too?"

Xu Qing: "you help me to take care of the pig house. You've made great contributions. How can you not have your share? The villagers usually take care of the pigs and kill them. Everyone has a share."

Li Jing opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. He helped Xu Qing to look after the pigsty, and he got the salary. Now he got a fan of pork, which is too much. However, Xu Qing is not the same. If he's polite, he seems to be separated.Many families in the village have raised pigs. Those who have not raised pigs are planning to buy one or two piglets from the pigsty next year. This year, there is no shortage of meat in the village. There are many chickens, ducks and rabbits in the family, but no one will dislike too much meat.

Xu Qing handed over the meat to Li Jing, who usually took care of the pigsty. Li Jing saw it in his eyes, and gave them more when it was their turn.

Li Jing's family couldn't finish a whole fan of pork. They gave some to their relatives and friends. The rest of the pork was cured and smoked into bacon, which they ate slowly.

In the evening, Xu Qing and Li Changting had dinner at Li Jing's home. After dinner, the couple went back to their original home and set the Kang on fire.

"Do we still have something in the cellar?" Asked Xu Qing.

"Do you have one?"

"It's like Huier's clay figurines. I'll go down and have a look tomorrow. If they're still there, I'll take them back to Huier. I'm in the advanced space."

Xu Qing into the space to prepare dinner, Duanmu ring has the meat and vegetables ready, Xu Qing as long as the next pot fried on the line.

"The shrimp last time was really delicious." Duanmu ring is still yearning for those crayfish, but this weather is no crayfish.

Xu Qing said, "bring me those dried shrimps you brought, and fry a plate of spicy shrimps for you."

The dried shrimps brought back by Duanmu ring are all plump. These shrimps are big and unexpectedly have no fishy smell. They are delicious as snacks.

Duanmu Xiang didn't think the food he was tired of eating was delicious, but after a large plate of spicy shrimp came out of the pot, he still couldn't stop eating one by one.

The poor little dragonfly was so greedy that she was coaxed by Xu Qing to pick grapes. At last, she could only use grapes to chat for comfort.
