Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Jiang Yue and her friends were not idle either. They bought a lot of meat privately from the pig-raising family. Chickens and geese were hard to buy, but Zhang Wei, Wang Liang, and Yao Ling's families all sent a lot of receipts. They used the receipts to exchange some for everyone. Jiang Yue said she no longer contacted her family. This decision was not made by her. Before her death, the original body thought it would be best not to contact her family. Jiang Yue always respected the original body's wishes.

Moreover, since Jiang Yue went to the countryside, except for the last time when her family gave her something as hush money, they haven't written her a single letter. Even if the original owner didn't explain, Jiang Yue wouldn't just go along with the cold shoulder.

During the Chinese New Year, meat is basically bought. Several people also consulted pig farmers. When the right season comes, they can apply to raise pigs. There is no need to worry about not having pigs to raise because raising pigs is a task now. The team leader worries every year about who to find to raise pigs. Pig farming will subsidize some grains, but not much.

The weather here is cold, so pigs grow slowly and may not grow to marketable standards. Then they would have to pay for a few more months of food. The four of them discussed it and decided it would be more cost-effective to raise a few chickens and geese. Four people could raise ten chickens, and they could eat eggs on weekdays, and then slaughter them for meat during festivals or when they stop laying eggs.

They were busy like ants moving house and bought a lot of things. As the Spring Festival approached, a big event happened to Yao Ling, because Wang Zhi went home for vacation this year. The fact that Wang Zhi went home directly became the hot headlines of the brigade. People who went to Wang Zhi's house every day broke down the threshold, especially those who had unmarried daughters.

On the first day, Yao Ling dragged Jiang Yue to see what Wang Zhi looked like. After seeing the look, she acted as if she had seen a ghost and didn't even go out. She let Jiang Yue do the going out thing for her. Jiang Yue was very pleased and thought, that's right, we should just stay away and watch the show and never get involved in it in this life.

Don't ask why Yao Ling didn't take revenge. Who would kill someone after watching a movie? Without deep-seated hatred, it is a normal reaction to stay away. Of course, Jiang Yue also believes that if Yao Ling has the opportunity to trick Wang Zhi and Liu Xiaoyi, she will definitely not refuse.

After breakfast in the morning, Wang Liang and Zhang Wei followed Xiaohu's father into the mountains. They had set traps for a while, but due to lack of experience they had never caught a rabbit. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, they wanted to add a little extra, so they basically went twice a day and looked around very diligently.

Jiang Yue can hunt, but Jiang Yue has been watching Yao Ling recently. Now Jiang Yue doesn't dare to let her stay at home alone. It's better to be safe than sorry. Although there are puppets to watch her, if someone really comes, she won't be able to get back in time.

After Zhang Wei and Wang Liang left, Jiang Yue and Yao Ling did a thorough cleaning. They cleaned the cabinets and corners that were not usually cleaned. They also did a thorough cleaning of the yard and even swept the entrance to the yard. During the New Year, you can see that the area around every household is clean.

It was almost noon when the two men came back. As soon as they entered, they closed the gate and took out a rabbit from their clothes.

"Hey, did we catch a rabbit today? Is this the first time we caught a rabbit?"

"Hey, our traps were completely empty. Little Tiger's dad caught three and gave us one during the Chinese New Year so that we can have something to eat during the New Year."

"Tsk~ You're so happy for nothing. I'll send some brown sugar to Xiaohu's mother later. She said she couldn't buy any brown sugar a while ago."

"Well, I'll ask Wang Liang to deliver it later. I'll go take care of the rabbit."

"Be careful when handling the rabbit. Xiaoyue and I just cleaned up. Don't get blood everywhere."

"Then I'll boil some hot water for you."

Several people divided the work, some boiled water, some delivered brown sugar, and Zhang Wei and Yao Ling processed the rabbits. After a while, the processed rabbits were caught. They didn't plan to eat them today, but would have a good meal during the New Year.

After dealing with the rabbit, Jiang Yue put the firewood the two brought back on the firewood pile. This firewood pile will have to be redone next year. It is not high enough now to hold much firewood, so it can only be lengthened. One wall of the courtyard can hardly hold it.

When it was time for dinner, Jiang Yue started to cook. Today, she had pickled cabbage stewed with frozen tofu and corn cakes. When they were almost done, Yao Ling said, "The New Year is less than ten days away. Do you want to go to the commune again?"

"I think it's okay. I can buy a few pieces of tofu. I've eaten all the tofu."

"Then let's go tomorrow. We have to get up early. If we go late, there will be too many people and we won't be able to squeeze in."

......

At five o'clock the next morning, the four of them got on the ox cart to the commune. The ox cart was crowded with people because it would be warmer. Jiang Yue was a smart guy and she wore a robe to resist the cold. She didn't eat alone and covered the ox cart a little. Although it was still cold, everyone could bear it.

After arriving at the commune, the four people did not separate. This time they did not have a fixed goal. They discussed everything they saw. After a round, they only bought a few pieces of frozen tofu and dried mushrooms. Forget about meat. As soon as they saw the meat seller, it was gone before they could squeeze in. People would buy meat even if it was a little more expensive without a ticket.

After a stroll, Zhang Wei and Wang Liang went to the supply and marketing cooperative to spend all the tickets. These tickets were sent to them by their families before the Chinese New Year. They were all ordinary families and the money was basically saved by their families. However, they also bought a lot of dried goods such as mushrooms and sent them back. Although the things were not much, it was a token of their thoughtfulness.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, they planned to go to the butcher shop to buy some pork fat. There was not much fat left at home. When they arrived at the butcher shop, the three of them were waiting outside. Jiang Yue made up an excuse and said that she could go alone to buy it. When they arrived at the entrance of an alley, Wang Liang handed a knife to Jiang Yue: "Xiao Yue, use it for self-defense. If the situation is not right, run away as soon as possible. If you encounter danger, remember to shout. Also, ask if you can let me go next time instead."

"Yes, I took note of it."

If you tell a lie, you have to use many lies to cover it up. You can't let others see you take things from the space. But it's just this time. The puppet has been settled. Next time, just let Wang Liang or Zhang Wei go, and Jiang Yue himself will not get involved.

Walking into the alley and finding a dead corner, Jiang Yue took out ten pounds of pork fat. It was normal to have more during the Chinese New Year. After thinking about it, he put in two more pork elbows and two pounds of pork, and finally added a few blood sausages and two cabbages. Anyway, they can be stored in this weather. It's not that Jiang Yue didn't take more, but that the public funds were enough to buy these.

When Jiang Yue came out of the alley, the three people who had been waiting anxiously surrounded him. Zhang Wei took the backpack and put it on his back. Then the four of them quickly moved to a deserted place and opened the backpack to take a look.

"Wow, there are so many things! There are pork elbows!"

"There's a lot of lard here. How much is it?"

"Ten kilograms. I bought some extra. I don't know when I'll have this stuff again."
