Chapter 149 I feel a little uncomfortable

Lu Xiangxiang chuckled. The girl's crisp laughter brightened the eyes of the bald man who had been squatting by the fire. His shifty eyes rolled around.

Shen Meng carried Lu Mingkai back home, and Lu Zhenping was sharpening a knife in the yard.

"What are you sharpening? What is this, a machete?"

"Well, I asked someone to tell Xiaobin that we're going to go into the mountains to hunt game tomorrow afternoon. Just look at the food you've distributed. You'll know that our family won't get much meat. If we don't go hunt some game, we won't be able to eat meat this year."

Shen Meng: “.”

Nonsense, she just took two pieces of leg meat from the space, and she cooked it to eat in the evening, hum!!!

“Sleepy!”

"My son is sleepy, so I'll take a nap too. There's meat and cabbage in the kitchen. Please help me chop the vermicelli stuffing. I'm going to make buns, dumplings and wontons tonight, and I'll have to chop up that piece of meat. If you have time to criticize me, you might as well do more work. You're so exhausted every day."

Lu Zhenping: “.”

When the pig was slaughtered in the afternoon, Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang squatted on one side, waiting to throw away the unwanted things such as bones or other things. Then they would go and gather some and roast them over the fire according to their mother's method. In this way, all the children in the village would recognize them as the leaders.

"Brother, do you think we should throw away that intestine?"

"Don't worry. We're going to kill two pigs this year. The village chief said that this year is a bumper year and every household will get a lot of good meat. Didn't you just see that Daya and her two daughters each got more than three pounds of pork belly, which has more fat and less lean meat? Not to mention the other families."

Mingfang curled her lips and said, "Other families don't include ours. We only have a little over a pound of meat. My mother will definitely be able to cook it in one night."

As soon as she said this, Mingyang and Mingliang both nodded, and they both agreed with it.

The butcher had piled all the offal aside, and when he was cutting the meat he accidentally pushed it aside, and without paying attention he saw a large intestine sliding off the table.

The three children's eyes lit up. Before they could take it, a pair of small hands reached out from the side. Quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, they grabbed the large intestine and put it into their pockets, then ran away as if nothing had happened.

"Who was that guy?"

"one person!"

"It was Daya. She picked up the large intestine. She must have wanted to add it to her family's meal. They are so pitiful."

Mingfang lives a happy life now, but she has not completely forgotten the hard times she once lived. She pursed her lips and took out fifty cents from her pocket. This was the pocket money her mother rewarded her with. She had originally planned to use it to buy a hairpin during the Chinese New Year. Teacher Zheng once said that in addition to satisfying one's own needs, the extra money can be used to do something that one considers meaningful.

"Big brother, second brother, I want to buy some meat, even bones, and send it to Daya and Xiaoya's family. This is much more meaningful than being the leader of the children in the village."

Mingyang and Mingliang listened to their sister and took out their own money, but Mingfang could see that her two brothers were reluctant to do so.

"It's okay, I just want to buy it myself, brothers, just keep the money for yourselves."

After she finished speaking, she took the money and went to find the branch secretary. Mingyang and Mingliang held the pocket money in their hands and felt it was a little hot for a moment.

"How about we buy some meat too? Let's buy some meat together. Well, I'll buy some for our family, Mingliang, you buy some for Uncle Si, and let Aunt Si cook for Xiaogang and Xiaoni, okay?"

"Okay, how about we divide it up after we've cleaned it up? We can buy more cheap meat, okay, brother!"

When Mingyang heard this, he thought it was feasible and immediately responded to his brother's call. The two of them sharpened their knives and walked towards the meat stall.

Zhang Hongfa had been waiting for an opportunity to have dinner with Lu Zhenping. After he learned that two cars from the county went to Lu's house and Shen Meng and Zhou Jiaojiao arranged a job for him, he secretly inquired for a long time. It was a good friend of the commune who took advantage of Lu Jiaxuan being drunk to find out that the son of a high-ranking county official was serving in the army under Lu Zhenping, and the daughter-in-law of the director of the textile factory was rescued by Shen Meng and Zhou Jiaojiao. After he knew it, he immediately found Lu Debang. The two of them discussed and wanted to wait for the time to invite Lu Zhenping to have dinner together. Some things can be said at the wine table, but it also depends on the timing.

"Mingfang, uncle will take charge. I'll cut some meat for you. Tell your dad later that you've been back for such a long time. When you have time, you should get together with us who grew up together and have a drink!"

"Okay, uncle, I'll tell my dad when I get home and ask him to find time to play with you!"

"Good good!"

Mingfang got more than a pound of pork belly and ran to Daya's house with it. The meat in her hand was not very good, mostly lean, but she could see that the branch secretary had deliberately cut a little more for her.

Yu Xueli was peeling radishes at home when she heard the door open. She looked outside and saw Daya running towards her holding a piece of intestine.

"Mother, mother, look, I picked it up from the pig-killing stall. Master didn't see it, so I brought it here. Mother, Mingfang's mother made this, it's very delicious, let's make it and try it!"

Yu Xueli looked at her daughter with bright eyes. Her throat seemed to be strangled and she couldn't make a sound. Her face was pale and she almost lost strength in an instant.

Lai Zi has always liked to take advantage of others. She didn't expect that Daya had also learned this and learned to take advantage of others. Daya had a very hard time in the Xu family before. She never relaxed her education of her two daughters, for fear that they would be infected by the Xu family's habits. Unexpectedly, despite all the precautions, she still got infected.

"Daya, give this thing back, do you hear me?"

"Mom!" Daya shuddered with fear and looked at Yu Xueli with some fear.

"Daya, we can live a peaceful life now, thanks to the folks in Lujia Village. Let alone picking up this large intestine, even if it is thrown away by others, we can't take it. Do you understand?"

Daya's eyes were filled with tears and her hands were shaking.

"Mom, mom, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I will give it back right away. I will give it back right away."

Daya wiped away her tears and before she went out, she saw Mingfang coming over with a piece of pork.

"Aunt, I've brought some meat to Daya. The village chief said that you've just started living, and the villagers are worried that you'll suffer, so they asked me to bring you some meat. Oh, the village chief saw the large intestine that Daya brought, and he asked if it was enough!"

She hadn't told a lie for a long time, and when she did, she felt guilty and didn't even look at the quarreling mother and daughter.

"Mingfang, did the secretary really ask you to bring this?"

"Yes, auntie, if you don't believe me, go ask the secretary. She asked me to help deliver it when I go home. I have to go home. After my eldest brother delivers the meat to Grandma Chang's house, we have to go home to help my mother cook. Auntie, don't be mean to Daya. She didn't mean it. She doesn't want the large intestine. The secretary said that if Daya still wants it, she can go and get it."

After Mingfang said this, Yu Xueli's eyes turned red. The villagers really missed her so much.

"Thank you Mingfang, thank you Secretary. I will thank them later. I was a little anxious today. Don't be mad at me, Da'ya. I don't want you to be like your father. If you want something in the future, just tell me and I will buy it for you. Don't try to be cheap."

"Hey!"

Daya's face turned red, and she glanced at Mingfang secretly with her small eyes. She knew that Mingfang was speaking for her.

"Aunt, why don't you let Daya go to school? Our teacher Zheng said that girls also need to study. Only by studying can they understand reason, become more sensible, and have a promising future."

Yu Xueli and Daya were both stunned when they heard her words.

Shen Meng was speechless, really speechless. Last time, her youngest son jumped into the pit, and now her eldest and second sons secretly spent money to buy two pieces of sewage and washed themselves with pig shit. She really wanted to cry.

"I feel a little uncomfortable. I need to find something to do so that I won't do anything terrible and scare the children. You can do whatever you want, just do whatever you want!"
