Men and women eating in the courtyard

Li Xuewu sent Silly Zhu home. When he walked to the door, he picked up a fatter piece of meat that he had prepared in advance. It weighed more than ten kilograms.

When Si Zhu saw Li Xuewu carrying the meat and walking with him, he refused to give it away, so he snatched the meat and put it back on the ground.

This scene made Qin Huairu extremely anxious. How could Silly Zhu be so stupid? He didn't want even good meat. He was so anxious.

Naturally, Li Xuewu would not pretend to be stupid, so he rushed to pick it up and went to Sha Zhu's house first. Sha Zhu had no choice but to follow him home.

Li Xuewu opened the door of Sha Zhu's house, put the meat on the chopping board, and strode back home instead of tearing it apart with Sha Zhu at the door.

When Qin Huairu saw Li Xuewu leaving, she quickly filled a basin of hot water and pretended to go to Shazhu's house, while Jia Zhang lay down on the small window and secretly looked at Shazhu's house.

Li Xuewu returned home and put the frozen pork bit by bit at the entrance of the main room's cellar. The main room's cellar was not under the main room, but outside the south room window. The entrance was inside the house, and medicinal materials and Chinese cabbage were stored underneath. Potatoes and radishes have low temperatures all year round and act as a natural refrigerator in winter.

When Li Xuecai saw that Li Xuewu was preparing to save meat, he came out to help. Zhao Yafang, who was helping Liu Yin clear the table, also went into the room and pinched Li Xuewen. The latter also ran out hissing to help move the vat.

Li Xuewu went down to the cellar first, and Li Xuewen and Li Xuecai passed the meat down from above. They put down the vat first, and after Li Xuewu had placed the second vat, they added meat to the vat one by one.

When the last piece was put on the stack, Li Xuewu refused to let him pass it over and asked him to bring in the pig head, pig hooves and so on first. Xuewen and the others didn't know the reason, so they obeyed.

Before the two of them could figure it out, Li Xuewu had already come out.

Li Xuewu took the piece of meat that had been specially set aside before freezing and cut it into twelve equal pieces with a knife. Each piece weighed more than a kilogram and packed it in an iron bucket.

Li Xuecai said in confusion: "Second brother, what are you doing?"

Li Xuewu replied without raising his head: "Give some to each family in the courtyard."

Hearing what Li Xuewu said, Zhao Yafang reluctantly turned cold, and Li Xuewen's waist suffered another terrible disaster.

Li Xuecai said bluntly: "They all said that, why should I give it to them?"

Liu Yin hit Li Xuecai and said with complicated thoughts: "What do you know? Don't talk like this in the future."

Mrs. Li was already sleepy now, but after hearing the conversation in the main room, she still said: "You must give everything you deserve."

Li Shun and Grandma also nodded.

Zhao Yafang said: "Give it back to the Jia family. Not to mention the old lady's dirty talk. She took it back to He Yuzhu. Qin Huairu also took it all away."

Li Xuewu looked directly at Zhao Yafang for the first time.

Zhao Yafang was stunned for a moment and turned her head away.

Li Xuewu didn't say much. He just picked up the iron bucket and said softly: "The pork is still enough to eat. I'll think of something else if it's gone. But this meat is worth it. Don't let people gossip. It doesn't do anything to your parents. You just got married and you need to be famous. The third brother and the younger sister will find a partner immediately. Neighborhood cannot affect your future. Look further ahead."

Li Xuewu paused, and then said to his sister-in-law: "Don't talk about the matters between Si Zhu and Jia's family. Si Zhu will help us and we will give him the meat. The meat has nothing to do with us. What he does with it is his business. We can't hospitalize him." The meat is divided, but her family is not divided. You can’t do things like this, and our family is not short of more than a pound of meat."

There was a lot to say today, and it was a bit hard for Zhao Yafang to come to the stage. It was all because Li Xuewu saw that his sister-in-law was a little petty, so he took this opportunity to give her a thumbs up. Liu Yin still has to be the head of this family.

Seeing Li Xuewu carrying the bucket out, Zhao Yafang smiled coquettishly, Liu Yin ignored her, and everyone continued to clean up the house. This meal of meat caused a mess in the house.

Li Xuewu carried the bucket to the third uncle's house and knocked on the door. The lights were still on at the third uncle's house, and the third aunt was doing handicrafts.

The third aunt opened the door and was surprised to see it was Li Xuewu.

"It's about learning martial arts."

"Third aunt, I brought you a piece of meat. Try it. Don't dislike it."

The third aunt suddenly looked at the meat in Li Xuewu's hand with surprise and said gratefully: "Thank you for learning martial arts. What the hell, come in and sit for a while."

Li Xuewu came into the room and said hurriedly: "No, third aunt, please rest."

The third aunt looked around when she saw Li Xuewu leaving with the bucket. She was surprised when she saw that Li Xuewu had gone to the first room in the third door hall, which was Yan Jiecheng's cabin. Why did she also send it to the elder's family?

Li Xuewu knocked on the door of Yan Jiefang's hut, and it was Yu Li who opened the door.

"Sister-in-law is not sleeping yet. We are killing a pig at home. I will give you a piece of meat to try."

Yu Li was very surprised. She and Yan Jiecheng had not separated from their parents-in-law, so they were considered the same family. Why were they sent here?

"You're too polite. How can you be so embarrassed?"

At this moment, Yan Jiecheng, who was squatting on the ground, also got up.

"Xuewu, look how embarrassing this is, we are not alone."

Li Xuewu smiled when he saw Yan Jie acting like a coward.

"It's okay. It's okay if we get married and live in separate rooms. Haha, this is the first time I'm saying hello when I come back. We'll see each other often in the future."

Yu Li was very happy and said politely: "Thank you for learning martial arts."

Li Xuewu carried the bucket and walked out, waved for them to come in, and left.

The third aunt took the meat and stabbed the third uncle.

"Old man, stop pretending. Why are you asleep? Get up quickly and see how Li Xuewu is delivering meat. He also gave a portion to the boss."

The third uncle's anger had subsided by now, and he pursed his lips and said with a smile: "This boy is very smart, and he is really thorough in everything he does. This old Li's tutor is really good."

The third aunt also said: "That's right, it seems that Li Xuewu is more promising than before, and the other three children are also well educated. The eldest son and his wife are still university teachers, the third brother is now receiving university subsidies, and the little girl is also prosperous. , Sigh, what do you say to Jiefang?"

Yan Jiefang lives on the double-layer iron frame bed at the feet of the old couple. When he heard this, his eyes widened and his ears tingled. He thought to himself: "Mom, if you want to say this, I won't be sleepy anymore."

The third uncle felt like a mirror in his heart. How could the Li family like the home of a primary school teacher like his? The little girl imitated her brother and wanted to take the college entrance examination. She was very ambitious. How could she like the second boy of the family?

But a daughter-in-law is a good thing for others, and a son is a good thing for oneself.

No matter what you think.

But he said: "I'm still in school, it's early, let's talk later"

The third aunt heard what the third uncle said and then said: "The boss will have to deliver the meat later."

The third uncle then realized that the boss still had a piece of meat, and said, "I have to bring it over, so that our family will have meat to eat during the Chinese New Year."

The third uncle and the third aunt waited until midnight but did not see Yu Li and his wife bringing the meat over.

Yu Li had already planned it.

"Xie Cheng, your family already has a portion of this meat. Send this portion to my mother's house. My mother's family hasn't seen the smell of meat in a year."
