Chapter 168: In the famine year, everyone in Daliushu Village actually ate meat
Seeing Su Wanwan leaving, Zhang Cuihua hurried out and gave her the eggs.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Your second sister-in-law is a person who brings misfortune to her family."
Zhang Cuihua sighed. She also knew that the current situation was not enough to make Sun Ye Zi give up.
It's just for an egg.
Sun Ye Zi is a gossiper, speaks harshly, is very jealous, and of course, her character is not good either, but on the surface, she has not made any big mistakes.
If I really divorce her today, where will Shen Heng's face be? In the countryside, if you divorce your wife without any reason, I'm afraid no one will be willing to marry him in the future.
Su Wanwan also knows these principles.
"Aunt, every family has its share of troubles. Please go back quickly."
Then Sun Yezi had to ask her aunt to go back to calm the situation.
Zhang Cuihua nodded. Shen Yuan’s wife was a sensible person. Shen Yuan was really lucky to have a good wife who would bring prosperity to the family for the rest of his life.
Looking at the three children again, since Su Wanwan came into the family, the three children seemed like different people, each one full of energy.
Especially Shen Zhao, there was life in his eyes and eyebrows, and he was much more energetic than before.
Su Wanwan guessed correctly, Sun Ye Zi finally stayed, but she repeatedly assured that she would live a good life with Shen Heng and would not say anything more.
Su Wanwan didn't care whether this guarantee was useful or not. What she cared about was that two little piglets came to her house and were given almost a whole pig.
The wild boars were divided among the villagers by the village head Liu Daping.
Shen Yuan made the greatest contribution this time, so he got the largest share. The other villagers who were injured while protecting the grain also got relatively more.
The remainder will be distributed according to population.
Those who get fat will get less, those who get more lean meat will get more, and bones and internal organs will be just extra.
There was a whole pig left, and we prepared to make a collective pig-killing dish the next day.
The head of the village was thinking that the people from the Agriculture Department would probably come over tomorrow. He had not heard about this year's tax policy yet, so he might as well invite people to a pig-slaughtering dinner to see if he could pay less grain tax under the current circumstances.
"Mom, can we finally raise pigs?"
"Little pig, so cute."
Xiao Yunyi and Xiao Yueer ran to the pigpen to see the pigs, and they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
"Shen Yuan's wife, the things have been delivered. I thought you had a pigpen at home, but raising pigs is probably difficult these days. There's really nothing to feed. If you want to kill it, just go ahead."
Seeing that all the things had been delivered, Liu Daping immediately gave instructions.
No one really wants to raise this little pig. After all, these days, people are running out of food, so what can pigs eat?
It would be a pity to kill the piglets directly, so Liu Daping thought that Shen Yuan had a pigpen and sent it over to take a look.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Liu."
Su Wanwan didn't refuse.
It’s also good to raise two pigs, as it will give you a place to put the water used to wash the pots.
What's more, the corn planted in the space is about to mature, and the corn stalks can be used to feed pigs.
Speaking of corn, Su Wanwan was really surprised.
The crops in the space grow really fast. In just over a month, the sweet potatoes have grown into small sweet potatoes, and even the corn cobs have grown big and tender.
At this rate, it will be mature in ten days or so.
"We should thank you two. By the way, someone from the Agriculture Department might come tomorrow. I've told them everything about Mai Shan and Jian. If they ask anything, just tell them the truth."
Liu Daping was afraid that the officials would ask Su Wanwan something tomorrow. He was unprepared and was so scared that he couldn't speak, so he immediately reminded her.
He was actually overthinking it. Su Wanwan was not a woman who had never seen the world in this era.
How could you be scared?
But she was a little surprised that the head of the village was so quick and reported everything.
This dynasty attached great importance to agriculture, so it was not uncommon to report the reform of tools to the Agriculture Department. Her original intention was to improve agricultural productivity and she did not want to keep it to herself.
But I don’t know if there will be any reward.
It would be great if there was a reward. She mainly wanted to buy another piece of land. It’s hard to say where the money will come from to buy land.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. I understand. I will never bring shame to our Daliushu Village."
Su Wanwan agreed with a smile, thinking that once the curved plow was put to use, she would be able to kill everyone, and these two were just appetizers.
Seeing how calm and composed she was, Liu Daping felt that his worries were unnecessary.
Shen Yuan's wife is really amazing. She is much better than some men.
After the headman left, Su Wanwan looked at the whole pig and didn't know what to do with it.
Shen Yuan couldn't lie down in the room any longer, so he walked out with a cane.
Seeing the young wife's embarrassed face, he smiled gently:
"Let me take care of it."
When Su Wanwan saw him come out, she ran over immediately.
"Why are you here? Doctor Liu said you need to rest for a few days."
Shen Yuan grabbed Su Wanwan casually and leaned towards her.
"I haven't broken any bones, so I'm not that delicate. Find me a stool to sit on, and I can chop the meat."
Su Wanwan thought about it and agreed, and immediately prepared a stool and chopping board and placed them in the yard.
Shen Zhao came over to help carry the meat. Xiao Yunyi and Xiao Yue'er also ran over to watch the fun after seeing the piglets.
"Mom, can we eat meat tonight?"
Little Yunyi is craving for meat. The meat in his mother's space was eaten up a few days before the wheat harvest. These days, he has been eating eggs cooked in various ways.
Although everything his mother cooked was delicious, he still wanted to eat meat.
"Look how greedy you are. OK, let's eat dumplings tonight to celebrate the end of the wheat harvest."
Su Wanwan already had an idea. She pointed at a piece of meat and asked Shen Yuan to cut it off and chop it into dumpling filling.
"Wow, that's great. Yue'er hasn't eaten dumplings for a long time."
Xiao Yue'er squinted her eyes happily.
My second uncle doesn’t know how to make dumplings, and dumplings need both meat and flour. We can only eat them during the Chinese New Year, and they are sent by my aunt.
"Then let Yue'er eat her fill tonight."
Su Wanwan tapped Xiao Yue'er's nose, and Shen Yuan had already cut off the piece of meat.
"Let's not make bacon out of the rest. I'll divide it up and put it in your space. We can take it out and eat it whenever we want."
As Shen Yuan spoke, he picked up the knife and chopped off the meat and bones with a few bangs.
"Okay, leave them all with me. We can eat them anytime."
It just happens to fill the gap of no meat in the space.
That night, the smell of meat wafted over the entire Daliushu Village.
It is said that the wild boar's coming down the mountain turned a bad thing into a good thing. When everyone was starving and suffering from famine, every household in Daliushu Village could eat pork.
The dumplings made by Su Wanwan are not only beautiful but also delicious, and the whole family is very satisfied after eating them.
After dinner, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air and look at the starry sky. They knew at a glance that tomorrow would be another sunny day.
I don’t know when the rain will fall, it’s almost June.
"Today I went to water the sandy soil. If it doesn't rain again in June, our sweet potato seedlings will still be green and lush, which may arouse suspicion."
Although sweet potatoes are drought-resistant, they cannot withstand a drop of rain.
