“I know.” Jiang Yue nodded. When she came back from her grandfather’s house, she heard that Xue Dafu had gone out to find a butcher. He asked him to come to their house tomorrow to kill the big white pig for them.
Although there were still 11 days until the twelfth lunar month, they could actually make bacon and sausages now. The family wanted to kill the pig at home and make some bacon and sausages.
“Mother said that,” Yu Hongyan said with a smile, “There are two kinds of cured meat. One is smoked, and the other is salted and sun-dried. We would just make one type of sausage and dry it directly. In the past, we would be envious when they saw other people making bacon and sausages. Now, our family finally doesn’t have to envy other people anymore.”
“Yes, I agree.” Li Hehua echoed and was also very happy.
The next day, although the sun was bright, it was still very cold. The butcher came early in the morning with his two disciples. It just so happened that Jiang Yue’s family had just had breakfast and then got busy.
Xue Dafu, Xue Yifu, and Xue Erfu went to the pigsty to help the butcher get their big white pig out.
It was all thanks to Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan who fed this pig well that it grew into a big pig. There was also enough food at home to feed this pig. This pig was very big. It was obviously bought two months later than the pig at the village chief’s house, but it looked much bigger than the pig that the village chief killed.
Jiang Yue stood quietly in the courtyard and watched.
On the other hand, Liu Guixia and the others were afraid of scaring the children, so they shouted at Xue Yan, “Xue Yan, quickly bring Jiang Yue and
Yuxuan to the back to look for Aunt Xiao. He’s going to kill a pig with a knife.
It’s going to be scary. There’s no need to be here.”
In order to make his family feel at ease, Xue Yan then led his Jiang Yue to the few small rooms at the back.
Shen Yuxuan followed.
Jiang Yue was actually not afraid at all, but she still let Xue Yan lead her to Shao Youyue’s place.
It wasn’t until Xia Han said that the pigs in front had been killed that Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Shen Yuxuan came out from Shao Youyue’s place and came to the front again.
Xue Erfu was using a very thin bamboo tube to blow up the pig’s bladder and turn it into a ball for Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Shen Yuxuan to kick.
This was the use of the pig’s bladder when a farmer killed a pig. The last time the village chief killed a pig, he also gave the bladder to the child to play with.
Seeing that the three of them had come to the front again, he immediately smiled and said, “Hey, you guys came just in time. I was just about to blow it for you guys. Wait a minute. It’ll be done in a while.”
Looking at the bladder in Xue Erfu’s hand, Jiang Yue… She really wanted to reject him..
Xue Yan… Also want to reject the offer…
Only Shen Yuxuan was very excited.
He didn’t even know that a pig’s bladder could be kicked like a ball.
There were no children in town who played like this.
Xue Erfu’s movements were very fast. He inserted the thin bamboo tube, and in a short while, the pig’s bladder was blown up. It looked like a football. Xue Erfu quickly took the string he had prepared and tied it up. Then, he casually threw it in front of Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s feet.
“Be good, go kick it.” Xue Erfu added.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.
“Wow!” Shen Yuxuan became even more excited. He immediately ran up and kicked, shouting, “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, come and play too. It’s so fun. I’ve never played this before.”
Seeing Liu Guixia and the others looking at them expectantly, and their grandfather sitting at the side, looking at them kindly, looking forward to them kicking the makeshift ball happily, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not know what to do. Then, they went forward stiffly and kicked the makeshift ball.
Liu Guixia, Xue Da, and the others were immediately happy. They all thought that the two children would be very happy to be able to kick a makeshift ball around..
