That's the price of three pigs.
This is also the family that is dozens of miles away and requires the most bride price to marry a wife.
For ordinary people, a pig can marry a daughter-in-law.
Three pigs, that's enough to marry all three sons.
It’s not that rural people don’t want to raise pigs, it’s that piglets are too expensive, and sometimes they cost tens of dollars, which is not a small expense.
What's more, piglets weighing tens of catties are most likely to get sick. To grow to a hundred catties, people need to take care of them for more than half a year. Not to mention, the pigs have to be disease-free and disaster-free, which is difficult...
After Zhao Gui and Wang Chunhua saw the three pigs in Zhao Guoqing's house that night, they couldn't sleep at night.
He sighed for a long time with a preoccupied look.
Seeing that Zhao Guoqing's family was doing well, they were very sad, especially Zhao Fu. Although he excused his injuries, he took advantage of lying down for a long time to rest.
However, how could the injuries on the body compare to the jealousy in my heart?
When their Zhao family was the most beautiful, they only fed two pigs, but in the end they were counted by Zhao Guoqing's branch.
That's not counting, now they have three pigs, now, Zhao Fu feels so angry all over, he can't sleep, he can't sleep!
The old lady Mei in the main room fell asleep and got up quickly. There was no kerosene lamp in the room. She sat by the bed and listened to the roar of wild boars outside.
The sound was really loud, and it made her upset and had a splitting headache.
"Are you going to sleep or not? It's the middle of the night, you want to scare people to death..."
Zhao Han grumbled angrily, what's going on with the old woman in the middle of the night?
"You have the guts to scare you to death. This wild boar cub is so noisy. It hurts my head. I will go to the second family tomorrow and ask him to send this pig away. The pig has been barking... ..."
"I'm afraid the second child won't be able to manage the family, so please stop making trouble. When the two pigs in the family were brought back, you were so happy that you couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, saying that the sound of the pig's meowing was really nice?"
Zhao Han couldn't sleep for a while, so he simply sat down against the wall. He was about to light the kerosene lamp, but Mrs. Mei refused to say that it was a waste.
Zhao Han knew that Mrs. Mei was unhappy, and she was looking for faults, so he simply ignored her. He didn't light the kerosene lamp, but he lit his own dry cigarette. Before he smoked, he coughed several times.
Granny Mei felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this voice.
Suddenly, he started cursing without thinking.
"This little bastard, there are three pigs. If you don't take good care of them, you will be unlucky. I'm afraid you won't be able to celebrate the New Year with any of them..."
As Mrs. Mei said these words, Zhao Han on the side took a puff of dry cigarette, and snorted coldly after feeling comfortable all over.
"You, just want to be strong, go to sleep, the pigs are raised in other people's pigpens, you care how many pigs they have for the New Year, they can save some money, and they can marry their sons when they pay back the bills, so that they don't have to worry about it sometimes. The Zhao family will be extinct as a bachelor..."
"Nonsense, don't we still have an elder grandson? With an elder grandson here, how can we be unrepeatable? The elder grandson is a college student, the first in this Chaoyang brigade!"
When talking about her eldest grandson, old lady Mei felt much more at ease.
It seemed that the cries of the wild boar cub were not so unpleasant. She just lay down again, but after all, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she didn't sleep well in the middle of the night.
Zhao Guoqing didn't sleep well either, because the uncle said that it was going to rain, and he had to quickly fix the trap before it rained.
In this way, after it rains, the smell of people on the other side of the trap will be washed away by the rain, and those wild boars will not leave and divert.
The trap still has a chance of catching wild boar cubs.
Just because of this, Zhao Guoqing and Liu Zhendian didn't sleep much that night, but luckily when the sky was about to dawn, they fixed the trap again.
When going down the mountain, Zhao Guoqing caught a pheasant.
Finally, it began to rain heavily, and there was a rain curtain between the sky and the earth, and people could not be seen clearly from a few meters away.
Under such circumstances, it was unrealistic to ride a bicycle to the commune to sell pheasants, so Zhao Guoqing simply brought the pheasants back.
"Mom, it's raining today, so the brigade will definitely not have to go to work. I saw a lot of potatoes in the kitchen. I'll stew this pheasant with potatoes. I'll go to bed first..."
He didn't close his eyes almost all night last night, so Zhao Guoqing will be very tired now.
What he is most afraid of is starvation, the feeling of waking up hungry in the middle of the night, his stomach growling, and his stomach shaking with water, is really terrible.
This is what Zhao Guoqing is most afraid of, so he hopes to be full and not hungry every day.
If you are full, you have to eat slowly.
Liu Zhenfang also felt sorry for the children. She was so happy that there were two more pigs in the family, so she was willing to use pheasant to stew potatoes.
It's just that Zhao Gui saw it when he was plucking the feathers of the pheasant, and said something with a frown.
"Eating meat again? You have to be more calculating in your life, follow our mother's example, don't split up your family so that you won't be able to eat a meal until the New Year's Eve, and you owe a lot of debts outside..."
These days, Zhao Gui ate meat every now and then, and almost every meal was dry rice.
After a few meals of this kind of food, he was always worried with fear, fearing that one day the door would be blocked by debtors outside, so he worked hard these days.
But working hard, I always feel that my daughter-in-law will not live like this.
Originally, Liu Zhenfang still felt sorry for these pheasants, thinking that a pheasant weighing one or two catties would be divided into three meals, and some more potatoes should be added to save some food.
But today, Zhao Gui wants her to learn from Mrs. Mei to live as a housekeeper.
This made Liu Zhenfang feel angry from the bottom of her heart.
How does Mrs. Mei manage the house?
She had such a hard life as a little daughter-in-law. Thinking of this, Liu Zhenfang also did something that she never dreamed of before.
Chapter 67 Someone Talked About Marriage!
Liu Zhenfang directly chopped up this pheasant, and then cut a small piece of the bacon that Zhang Guoqing's mother gave her last time.
The pheasant stew is fragrant, but not oily.
But with this bacon, it's different. Fried chicken with bacon oil and water will taste very good.
But these days, who is so extravagant that they can fry pheasant with bacon?
Anyway, in Liu Zhenfang's heart, this is the first time she has cooked in such a luxurious way, and when the bacon is fried, the smell can be smelled from half the bay.
Many people are secretly asking, who is cooking the meat, oh my god, it is really delicious.
Even if you don't eat meat, just smelling the aroma will make you salivate three feet long.
With the smell of meat, many people in the Chaoyang Brigade soon knew that Zhao Guoqing's family had actually caught two little wild boars.
Some people came to watch the excitement, but after seeing it, obediently, where is this little wild boar?
These eighty or ninety-pound wild boars are not small at all, okay?
Moreover, such pigs have basically grown up, and the survival rate is also high. As long as they do not get seriously ill, this pig can be raised for the second half of the year. Three pigs!
"Oh, the Zhao family is going to get rich, and these three pigs may have hundreds of dollars by then..."
Rural people are the best at calculating accounts. Looking at the three pigs in their pigsty, and then looking at the kitchen that is better than the average person's front roof, some people are calculating in their hearts.
The Zhao family is doing well. Although their son Zhao Guoqing is stubborn, he is handsome.
Now that there are three pigs again, the days are about to get better and better. Even if someone's daughter is married, she won't be able to endure hardships.
After all, his house is full of meat being cooked in the pot at this moment, and the smell of the meat cannot be concealed no matter what.
I really envy the dead.
There were quite a few villagers who thought this way, and soon some aunts and aunts went to talk to Liu Zhenfang, saying that her natal family had a niece who was clean and hard-working.
If his family is willing, they will bring someone over to watch the house. Maybe in the second half of the year, Liu Zhenfang will hear the good news that she is going to have a grandson.
These words made Liu Zhenfang, who was a little bit distressed about those fleshy things, happy from the bottom of her heart, she just felt that the whole person was in a better mood, and the smiles on her face became even bigger.
"Okay, okay, third aunt, your niece from your mother's family is definitely not bad, as long as you are half capable, it is my blessing on National Day..."
The person who told Liu Zhenfang about this was a married girl from the Liu family. Her seniority was a generation higher than Liu Zhenfang's, but this person was particularly quick and capable in working in the production team.
So usually Liu Zhenfang always calls her third aunt.
"Don't make trouble, your family's National Day is far from other girls' seniority, even if they are not related by blood, you can't get married like this. I see, I have a niece who is actually pretty good, and it's in the next village. Or, I'll take it later. come and see?"
I didn't expect that there were more than one person who wanted to say goodbye to Zhao Guoqing.
This made Liu Zhenfang so happy for a moment that she didn't know what to do, she just couldn't stop rubbing her body, and hurriedly poured sugar water for those who wanted to match her son.
Because it doesn't matter.
Liu Zhenfang feels that she should thank others, this is an attitude.
And her attitude made the third aunt and other people in the village nod secretly in their hearts, thinking that although Liu Zhenfang had separated.
But why does it feel more reliable than Mrs. Mei?
At least they are generous, and in terms of human relationships, they are also pleasing and willing to get close to each other.
A few women were standing by the pigsty, chatting with Liu Zhenfang about homework, and asking her how she got the wild boar cub, while a group of people were looking at it strangely.
Liu Yuqing, Xia Ruolan and a few girls also came.
They also came to watch the excitement.
After all, they had never seen a live wild boar, so what they looked like, this would be a good time to gain insight.
But before I saw the wild boar, I saw a group of aunts and sisters-in-law talking around Liu Zhenfang?
Occasionally, I can hear a few words, saying that after the girl is sensible and filial, you will wait to enjoy the blessings and have grandchildren, and my niece is very good at doing housework and cooking, and you can hand over the kitchen to her when you pass the door.
After Liu Yuqing and Xia Ruolan looked at each other, their expressions became a little weird.
Especially that Liu Yuqing.
Her heart skipped a beat. Originally, she came to see wild boars, but now she didn't seem to be interested in wild boars.
I just went to those aunts and wanted to hear what they were talking about?
Xia Ruolan on one side had sharp ears, and seemed to hear something, so she whispered to Liu Yuqing.
"The third aunt of Aunt Liu said she wanted to introduce a wife to Zhao Guoqing, and that aunt also wanted to introduce a wife to the Zhao family..."
When Xia Ruolan said this, she glanced at Liu Yuqing, who had a somewhat unsightly expression, and pulled her sleeve with her hand.
"Let's go to see the wild boars. His family has put their heart into it. The pigsty is really solid..."
Xia Ruolan pulled, Liu Yuqing, who was clearly worried, went to the pigsty to see wild boars.
There are actually quite a few people around Zhao's pigsty.
They are all watching the fun.
Liu Yuqing on the side looked at three black pigs of similar size in the pigsty. She just glanced at them, but couldn't tell which ones were wild pigs?
I always feel that these three pigs seem to look similar.
How could there be wild boars?
"Yuqing, look, does that wild boar have a particularly long mouth and fierce eyes? Tusks, this wild boar has fangs..."
"Ah, why didn't I pay attention?"
Liu Yuqing's mind at this time was naturally not on the wild boar.
She was thinking about what those aunts said just now.
Well, someone really told him his daughter-in-law?
Come to think of it, Zhao Guoqing is handsome, although I heard that he is very stubborn, but isn't this more masculine?
She and Chen Furong both retired, so Chen Furong heard that she was going to marry Zhang Guoqing.
It is natural for Zhao Guoqing to find a better girl, but why does she feel so uncomfortable in her heart?
Thinking about the apricots that Zhao Youqing gave her a few days ago, he said that they belonged to his grandmother's house, and his elder brother Zhao Guoqing brought them over, and asked them to give them some for a different taste.
At that time, Liu Yuqing was so happy that he grabbed some red dates and gave them to Zhao Youqing.
Thanks again and again.
At that time, Liu Yuqing was a little surprised. She thought this was a signal?
Does Zhao Guoqing mean something to her?
Otherwise, why did you ask your brother to give her apricots?
If Zhao Guoqing is interested in her, what should I do?
Should I accept it or find a way to go back to the city after taking the university entrance exam?
