Chapter 93 Pig Killing Contest

All the banknotes had been exchanged for cash in various ways. Xiao Wang hid the silver in several places and only left two cents for Yu Laoer for self-defense.

As for her two daughters, she didn't care. They were hiding in a place that even she, as their mother, couldn't find, so there was naturally no need for her to worry about them.

Yu Chun'er and Yu Qiu'er packed their luggage and went up to the top floor hand in hand.

Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng had already packed up and were now playing ball with Batian.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yu Chaosheng, who was nearby, went over and opened the door.

"Aunt, aunt, we are here!" Yu Qiuer ran into the room without even glancing at her uncle.

Yu Chaosheng said, "Hey!" "This girl!"

Yu Chun'er glanced at him and followed him into the room. The two sisters still remembered that their uncle was unwilling to take the initiative to apologize to their aunt that day.

Yu Qiuer came to Pan Yingying's side and took out a wooden box from her bosom as if offering a treasure, "Aunt, this is the gift I bought for you, come and take a look, do you like it?"

Pan Yingying raised her eyebrows, a little surprised that she would buy herself a gift.

Yu Chun'er stepped forward and took out a box from her bosom, "This is a gift from me to my aunt. Qiu'er and I have earned some money these days."

I wanted to give it to you before but I didn’t have the conditions. Now I have the conditions and the money, so of course I have to show my appreciation.

Pan Yingying smiled and rubbed their heads, then took the two boxes.

Seeing this, Yu Chaosheng couldn't help but speak up, "I say you two girls are too partial! Why is there only hers and not mine? I am your dear uncle, okay?"

The two little girls didn't even turn their heads around, but faced him with the back of their heads, both pairs of eyes looking at Pan Yingying.

Pan Yingying opened the box and found a hairpin given by Yu Qiuer. It was a silver hairpin with a trembling dragonfly on it. The dragonfly's eyes were adorned with two green jades not even as big as rice grains. She fell in love with it at first sight.

"Thank you Xiaoqiu, I like it very much. Please help me put it on." Pan Yingying said with a smile.

Yu Qiuer observed her expression and found that she really liked it, so she became happy too.

She took the hairpin and carefully put it on Pan Yingying.

Yu Chun'er took the mirror from the dressing table next to her and asked, "Aunt, take a look, does it look good?"

Pan Yingying nodded, "It looks good!"

She looked down at the box Yu Chun'er had given her. Inside was a silver bracelet with silver threads intertwined together. There were two green bamboo leaves at the joint. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the two green leaves were actually two pieces of green jade.

Pan Yingying looked at Yu Chun'er's expectant expression and raised her left hand, "Can our Xiaochun please put this beautiful bracelet on me?"

Yu Chun'er was overjoyed. She took out the silver bracelet from the box and solemnly put it on Pan Yingying's fair and slender wrist.

She promised earnestly, "When I earn some money, I will buy gold and jade bracelets for my aunt."

Yu Chaosheng was simply disgusted. Wearing a bracelet was like a groom putting a diamond ring on the bride at a wedding. What? Now he was making an oath again. Did he really take his uncle seriously?

He angrily grabbed the two little girls by the collars, dragged them out of the door without any courtesy, and slammed the door shut.

Yu Qiuer and her sister looked at each other and laughed out loud.

They are now going to give gifts to their father and mother.

Little Wang received a gold bracelet from the two sisters. The bracelet was as wide as a finger and shone brightly, which was very eye-catching. She was frightened at the first sight of it.

But she can't be seen by anyone. If she gets robbed, she will regret it so much.

Yu Laoer's gift was much simpler. He received a new set of clothes from the two sisters. The fine cotton cloth made one feel soft inside. That night, after the two sisters fell asleep, Yu Laoer leaned on Xiao Wang's shoulder with tears streaming down his face, "Daya, how come our girls are so considerate?"

Xiao Wang: ...

If you don't call me by my maiden name, I can still try to comfort you with a few words.

Xiao Wang pushed him away and said, "Do you still need to travel tomorrow? Go to sleep!"

Yu Lao Er: ...

This woman must be jealous, jealous that her two daughters gave her new clothes as a gift, she must be!

The next morning, when everyone was packing up to leave, a small accident happened.

Several girls in the team bought a live pig. It took a lot of effort to tie these fat and big-eared pigs to the carriage.

Seeing the chaos, Yu Chaosheng had no choice but to pay the shopkeeper another five taels of silver. He was about to leave and the shopkeeper had messed up the backyard, so he had to give him some compensation.

The shopkeeper didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. He glanced and saw a freshly killed chicken. He walked over quickly and picked it up. "Mr. Yu, please accept this."

Yu Chaosheng: …

Why don't you give me a bag or something and let me carry it like this?

He was reluctant to take it, so Yu Laoer next to him took it, said "thank you", and put the chicken behind Honglian and the others' supply truck.

Yu Chaosheng let out a long breath, bowed to the shopkeeper, turned around and climbed into his own carriage.

Batian lay in the carriage, close to Pan Yingying. He knew that he could not go out to play yet, so he behaved very well and let Pan Yingying put a new insect repellent collar on him.

Some people left the city in a mighty procession and did not attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the city. There were often caravans coming and going here, and as long as enough silver was given, they generally would not make things difficult, and everyone left Huaian smoothly.

At noon, Yu Chaosheng found a place to camp near a stream.

Everyone was not busy cooking because they had to watch a few children compete in slaughtering pigs.

Wang Yougen looked at his precious daughter with a stern face and a dagger in her hand, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Why is a nice little girl thinking about killing a pig?

Is slaughtering a pig something a girl should do? Even a grown man like him might not be able to do it.

Compared to his worry and disapproval, Yang Juanzi cheered her daughter on, "Don't be nervous, Xue'er, I believe you can do it."

Honglian and Lumei led people to quickly set up the venue. On the red banner were written "Taoyuan Village's First Pig Killing Competition" in a flamboyant manner.

After the teams merged, everyone voted and finally chose the name "Taoyuan Village". From then on, everyone was a member of Taoyuan Village.

The reason why "Taoyuan" was chosen is that Yu Chaosheng and Pan Yingying both came from Taoyuan Village, and also because the word "Taoyuan" has a good meaning, it means a paradise on earth.

A space was cleared around, and the women set up a large pot to boil water, while the men were ready to help press the pigs.

Yu Chaosheng put his hands behind his back, walked to the small platform made of stones, and cleared his throat.

"Today is the first pig-killing competition in Taoyuan Village. Now I will announce the list of participants: Wang Xueer, Yu Qiuer, Yu Chuner... a total of seventeen people."

"The first place prize is ten taels of silver, the second place prize is five taels, and the third place prize is two taels."

"Now, I declare that the first pig-killing competition in Taoyuan Village has officially begun!"
