Pig Killer

"Big Chong, bring me a branch." Shen Hui'e looked up at the branch not far away and said.

"Hey!" The big tiger walked over, bent down, picked up the branch, turned around and handed it to his mother, saying, "Here."

"The couch is like this." Shen Hui'e drew a long bench on the ground.

"The height of this couch should be up to the knees." Shen Hui'e looked at Liu Ding with clear eyes and asked, "Is that okay?"

"Of course you can." Liu Ding nodded, and then asked doubtfully, "Why do you have to be so high?"

"It's just right for us to sit in front of the stall." Shen Hui'e stood up and gestured, "My meat stall is waist-high because of my child's father. If it were a low couch, only your head would be exposed when you sit down."

"Sister-in-law's business is so good, it's really uncomfortable to stand all the time. Sitting there can help her rest for a while." Liu Ding nodded in agreement, "This height is just right."

"If we sit like this, our clothes won't drag on the ground." Shen Changsheng said to Liu Ding with a smile.

"It doesn't need to be that wide." Shen Hui'e said, putting her palms together, "This width is enough."

"So narrow?" Liu Ding looked at her hesitantly and said, "Isn't it too narrow?"

"No, no, this won't take up space." Shen Hui'e shook her head and said, "I need more than one. Make a few more so that customers can sit down and rest. It's tiring to stand in line all the time."

"Haha..." Liu Ding chuckled and said, "Okay, make a few more."

"This length is the length of two low couches put together." Shen Hui'e gestured with her hand and said, "Two people can sit like this, which saves wood."

Liu Ding blinked and thought about it in his mind, "Okay, no problem."

"There are a few smaller ones sitting here, like your tree stump, which should be a little shorter. I use it mainly to kill fish. It's not comfortable to squat all the time." Shen Hui'e leaned forward and pretended to kill a fish.

Liu Ding immediately understood what he meant when he heard it, "Is the width also measured by putting both palms together?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Hui'e smiled and nodded vigorously. "It doesn't need to be that long for me." After a pause, she said, "Make a few more." She smiled and said, "Money is not a problem."

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? How can I ask you for money? These scraps are enough for these things." Liu Ding said carelessly.

"Hey! You can't say that. We all work hard to earn our money, how can I let you work for nothing!" Shen Hui'e said immediately after hearing this, and then pretended to say, "If you want to do this, then I'll find someone else."

"No, no, no!" Liu Ding scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Then I'll listen to my sister-in-law. You decide what to give it to me!"

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e looked at him gently and said.

"The pork and fish balls made by my sister-in-law are delicious. Can you leave some more for me?" Liu Ding said greedily with green eyes.

"Okay, no problem." Shen Hui'e smiled and said.

"I don't eat for free, sister-in-law, just save it for me. The main thing is that I don't have time." Liu Ding said very honestly, "It's a busy day. There is a long line in front of your stall."

"I understand, I understand." Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

"You should get married. It would be nice to have a woman at home who can buy groceries, cook, wash clothes, and keep the house clean for you." Shen Changsheng looked around. It was a real mess.

"I want to, but no one wants to marry me!" Liu Ding blushed and scratched his head, "They think I'm not doing my job properly."

"You should stop going to cockfighting and drinking. You have earned this business a long time ago." Shen Changsheng looked at him unhappily and said.

"What kind of fortune can I earn? Just to make a living and have a drink." Liu Ding said with a grin.

"Stop going to cockfights. You look so dishonest. How can a girl from a good family marry you?" Shen Changsheng scolded him unceremoniously, "And stop flirting with those widows."

"Brother-in-law! I didn't." Liu Ding pleaded, "I really didn't."

"Cough cough..." Shen Hui'e clenched her fist and coughed twice, then glanced at the two children who were listening to them attentively.

"Anyway, as long as you understand it in your heart, I won't say anything." Shen Changsheng said quickly when he saw this, he even forgot that the children were still there!

"That's exactly what I'm talking about." Shen Hui'e took out a handful of copper coins from her purse and said, "I'll give you this first. I'll give you more later if it's not enough."

"Why do we need so much money?" Liu Ding said in a panic, "Just make that thing."

"Take it. If you think it's too much, you can return it after it's done." Shen Hui'e waved her hand gently.

"No drinking, let's go cockfighting." Shen Changsheng said, looking at the copper coin in his hand.

"Spring plowing is about to begin. Where is the time for drinking and cockfighting?" Liu Ding said immediately after hearing this.

"Oh! You forgot about the spring ploughing. My work is not urgent." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark eyes and said hurriedly, "Spring ploughing has started, so I have to stop my meat stall..."

"Then we won't be able to eat meat." Liu Ding looked at her regretfully and said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We are too busy to delay the farming season." Shen Hui'e looked at him gently and said.

"The farming season is important. If you miss it, you'll have no food." Shen Changsheng looked at him gently and said, "Spring farming will be quick, about a month."

Liu Ding is not ignorant. He knows the importance of farming time. If man makes a mistake in farming for a moment, the land will make a mistake for a year.

"After the spring plowing is over, I will make some fresh and delicious food." Shen Hui'e looked at him with bright eyes and said.

"What's new?" Liu Ding asked her with shining eyes.

"It's hard to say. You'll know once it's done." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile, then she stood up after patting her thigh and said, "It's getting late. Let's go!"

"Let's go." Shen Changsheng stood up and looked at him and said, "You have time to tidy up the yard. There's not even a place to step."

"I know." Liu Ding looked at him embarrassedly and said, "I'm used to living alone. No one comes, so anything is fine."

"Aren't you afraid of tripping yourself in the dark?" Shen Changsheng looked at him with amusement when he heard it.

“Don’t be afraid! We are so familiar with it that we won’t trip even with our eyes closed.” Liu Ding said to him with a grin.

"You! Let's go." Shen Changsheng shook his head and laughed, "Do it for your sister-in-law first, I have to put it aside for later."

"Brother-in-law wants to do it too!" Liu Ding looked at him in surprise and said.

"Of course. It's so comfortable to sit and enjoy the cool in the summer! It's also convenient to move." Shen Changsheng looked at him gently and said, "It's better than sitting on a straw mat. There are so many insects and ants in the summer, and it's not safe to sit on the ground."

"That's right!" Liu Ding said, looking at them with sparkling eyes.

Shen Changsheng looked at him with a smile and said, "This way you won't have to worry about not having business."
