There is a Garbage Recycling Station In My Mind

Early in the morning, Luo Jiu ran down from the mountain. When he arrived at his grandfather's house, many people had already come to the yard, all of them came to help kill the New Year pig.

Last night, Luo Jiu lived alone in the Taoist temple on the mountain. As for the uncle's family, except for the uncle who occasionally lives in the Taoist temple for a period of time, everyone else lives with grandparents at the foot of the mountain.

Several years ago, after the uncle's new house was built, grandparents lived with him. The uncle had a son and a daughter, but none of them were at home.

Cousin Luo Yin entered the army from university, and has been in the army for almost ten years.

The cousin Luo Ziyan and her cousin's husband are both coaches of the sports team, and they travel all over the country all year round. The only ones staying in Qingshan Village are uncle, aunt, and grandparents.

"Uncle Kangqiu, why are you helping to butcher pigs this year? Didn't you say you would not kill pigs years ago?" Seeing Ma Kangqiu who was really doing preparations in the yard, Luo Jiu walked over to say hello.

"Xiao Jiu, come back to see your grandparents this time, come back and stay in the village for a few more days, and come home to play cards at night!"

Ma Kangqiu directed everyone to prepare, and said helplessly: "There is no way, Uncle Shan has called me, can I not come, but I am really old, I really can't kill after this year."

At this time, the grandfather who was boiling water in the yard said: "There is nothing that can't be killed, and it doesn't take much effort on your part. You just need to insert, stab, and draw the knife. There are so many people here, it's hard to beat them." Those who pull ears, those who pull tails, those who hold pigs' heads, are you afraid that the pig will run away!"

When she was a child, Luo Jiu saw a family butchering a pig once. The pig was not pulled properly. After the butcher knife was stabbed in, before the knife was drawn out, the mad pig broke free from everyone's hands, and took the butcher with him. The knife ran forward all the way until the pig's blood flowed clean before falling to the ground and dying.

But sometimes people say that the pork of that pig is much tastier than the usual pork, but I don’t know if it’s true. Even if many years have passed, someone will mention it every year at the end of the year when the New Year pig is killed, and Ma Kangqiu will generally not make a sound at this time.

As far back as I can remember, my grandparents’ pig slaughter was called Ma Kangqiu. Although Luo Jiu called him Uncle Kang Liu, in fact Ma Kangqiu was not a few years younger than Luo Jiu's grandfather, but just a generation younger.

Several years ago, he said that he would stop slaughtering pigs and enjoy the blessings at home, but every year at the end of the year, Luo Jiu never saw him stop, and sometimes he would kill several pigs a day.

However, there have been fewer people feeding pigs in the village in the past few years, especially after the outbreak of swine fever last year, and since the second half of last year, the price of piglets has remained high, and there are even fewer people feeding pigs.

The two pigs my grandfather fed cost more than 4,000 yuan when I bought them. At that time, Luo Jiu and my uncle went to the market in the town to buy them in person. Uncle's family and Luo Jiu's family each paid half of the extra yuan.

I have been feeding them for almost a year now. The piglets weighing more than 50 kg each when I bought them have now grown into big fat pigs weighing more than 300 kg. Today I will kill one of them.

It's less than a month away from the Chinese New Year. If you want to roast bacon, you can already start to prepare it. Most of the pork that was killed today is going to be used for roasting bacon.

A pig is divided among three families, apart from the uncle's family and Luo Jiu's family, the aunt's family also has a share.

Grandparents have three children, the uncle is the eldest, Luo Bang is the second child, and the third child is Luo Jiu's aunt. But because my aunt's son works in Huacheng, my aunt's family has moved to Huacheng to help my cousin take care of the child.

After the pig is slaughtered, grandma and aunt will roast the bacon, and then each family will divide it, and the aunt's share will be

It is sent by courier every year.

This task is usually assigned to Luo Jiu, and it costs Luo Jiu hundreds of dollars to send these bacon every year. At that time, it was not easy for Luo Jiu to get money, so every time after sending the bacon, Luo Jiu would feel heartbroken for a long time.

But now Luo Jiu can't do it anymore, now Luo Jiu only hopes that her cousins ​​and sisters will go home earlier to celebrate the New Year, and the aunt's family who came to pay New Year's greetings can also come back earlier. Speaking of which, Luo Jiu has not seen these relatives for a long time.

And as everyone gets older, and some even have families, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for everyone to get together, and in the days to come, there will be fewer opportunities to get together like this. without changing more.

Just when Luo Jiu was about to change into a work uniform and wait for help, the aunt came over holding her mobile phone: "Xiao Jiu, you don't want to go when you pull the pigtail, you just let your uncle and the others do it, your brother The video is here, you two brothers have a word."

Luo Jiu took the mobile phone from the uncle's hand, and the big face of cousin Luo Yin, which filled the screen of the mobile phone, appeared in front of Luo Jiu's eyes.

"Brother Jiu, you are back at home butchering the pig, don't hang up on the video later, you gave me a live broadcast of killing the pig today, I haven't watched the butcher for a long time."

"I came back with my uncle in the morning. Brother, can your army come back to celebrate the New Year this year? It seems that you didn't come back to celebrate the New Year last year?"

A few years ago, my cousin seemed to intend to change jobs and go home, but I don’t know what the uncle said at that time. I haven’t heard my cousin talk about his retirement in the past two years. Last year and this year, almost two years. I have never taken a long vacation, let alone go home for the New Year.

Veterans like them who have been there for more than ten years have a lot of family leave every year, and my cousin even joined the army as a college student, and then was admitted to the military academy in the army. After graduating from the military academy, he re-entered the army. It seems that there are really few times for Chinese New Year at home.

"You can take three weeks off this year. Come back around the 20th of the end of the year, and return to the army around the 10th of the new year. Then you can have a good time. I heard from my dad that your kung fu has regressed so much. Then we two brothers will practice hard. Practice!"

Hearing my cousin said that he wanted to practice with Luo Jiu, the aunt who had been standing aside all the time said angrily: "What are you practicing, I have been bullying your brother since I was a child!"

"Brother, did you hear that, it's not that I don't want to practice with you, it's that my aunt won't let you!"

Ever since Luo Jiu officially began to practice martial arts with his uncle, Luo Jiu has often been slapped by his cousin. He either kicked Luo Jiu's ass when Luo Jiu was squatting, or led him into the ditch when Luo Jiu was practicing routines.

Because of these things, Luo Jiu was often scolded by his uncle, but the one who was scolded even more fiercely was his cousin. happiness.

As for sparring, Luo Jiu has never defeated his cousin once since he was a child, not to mention that now his cousin is training every day in the army, and he runs every day, occasionally sparring against the fat brother Xiaocai, Luo Jiu But I don't have the habit of finding abuse by myself.
