239 large scale for weighing pigs
Here, Zhao Yuanle and Yao'er went back and saw that He Ju had already prepared a few dishes.
She asked Zhao Yuanle to call Zhao Yuanlan back, and Zhao Yuanle walked to the door and called out. After getting a response, he went back to the house.
She walked into the kitchen and helped He Ju light the fire together.
He Ju asked what Zhao Yuanlan was doing, and Zhao Yuanle told the truth.
After hearing what Zhao Yuanle said, He Ju snorted coldly.
"I only know how to help others, but I don't know how to help me."
Zhao Yuanle: "She still ran away to buy things today."
He Ju was too lazy to talk about her daughter. She told Zhao Yuanle that she would go back to her parents' home in a few days and would take Yao'er with her.
"are you going?"
Her mother-in-law's sister-in-law has other things on her mind.
Zhao Yuanle knew what He Ju meant, so she shook her head and refused: "I'm so busy raising pigs every day, and I don't have time, so I won't go."
Speaking of raising pigs, He Ju has a suggestion.
"From now on, you won't herd pigs anymore, just keep them in pig pens, cut pig grass, mix them with chaff, etc., that's pretty much it."
Zhao Yuanle: "It's far from enough. If we don't let pigs go, we will lose at least a hundred kilograms of meat."
He Ju: "These pigs are getting big. If you let them out, others will be scared. Your wild boar tusks have grown out."
Zhao Yuanle: "Don't worry, I'll say hello to the people in the village over there today, don't be afraid."
He Ju: "Then you herd pigs every day, so how can you find the time to become a popular girl?"
Zhao Yuanle was surprised.
"You still want me to learn this?"
He Ju: "Absolutely. If you don't learn this, what will you do when you get married in the future?"
Zhao Yuanle: "I make so much money, why are you still worried about me getting married?"
He Ju was stunned.
Zhao Yuanle continued: "Think about it, Sanniang, if I stay at home for a few more years, the family will make more money. If I get married early, it will not be an advantage to other people's families."
Hearing this, He Ju paused. She felt that this was also the case.
But she was still worried.
"However, it is difficult for a woman to marry when she is older."
Zhao Yuanle said to He Ju seriously: "However, it is best to have a baby after the age of twenty-two. If it is too young, it is easy to die from dystocia."
He Ju paused: "Is there any other way to say this?"
Zhao Yuanle nodded: "If you don't believe me, ask your uncle."
He Ju hesitated a little. She turned her head, looked at the flames in the stove, and fell into thinking.
Seeing He Ju like that, Zhao Yuanle smiled silently.
Hehehe, her ears can be clean for a while.
Outside, Zhao Sancheng and Zhao Yuanlan went home together. Zhao Sancheng talked to Zhao Ercheng who was walking next to him about collecting herbs.
"Second brother, at this time, we can start."
Zhao Ercheng touched his abdomen and nodded.
"Okay, let's find those things and wash them tomorrow."
One day the family confiscated the medicinal herbs, and they all fell into dust.
At dinner in the evening, Zhao Ercheng saw the plate of pig ears served cold with scallions and red oil. He was so delicious that he couldn't help but go into the house and find the wine bottle.
There is also some white wine in the jug, bought from a nearby winery. They are all wine made using grain and old methods.
He poured himself a small cup and poured another cup for Zhao Sancheng.
The two brothers clinked glasses together, and Zhao Ercheng said with a smile: "I'm finally healed now, and I can move this bed back."
He can finally sleep in his own room.
Zhao Sancheng was also happy. He clinked glasses with his brother and drank the wine in the glass.
At this time, Zhao Yuanle and Zhao Yuanlan looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
It's really good. Now that the weather is getting hotter, the two of them finally don't have to pour out the chamber pot.
Zhao Ercheng and his family sat at a table, eating pig ears and white rice, and drinking some wine. It was not too enjoyable.
Zhao Yuanle kept smelling it, and when the meal was over, he finally found a chance to tell Zhao Ercheng about it.
"Dad, you can take a shower now."
She has endured this smell for a long time.
Zhao Ercheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I will move the bed tomorrow and wash the bedding and covers after changing them."
He Ju nodded: "When the time comes, I will give my second brother a clean one. These should be washed and exposed to the sun for a few times before being put away."
Zhao Sancheng suddenly spoke.
"Isn't there some meat? Let's cook some delicious dishes tomorrow and call Old Chiang, Old Man Wang, and Niu'er to have a meal together.
I'll buy another firecracker and set it off for my second brother."
He Ju: "Why don't you call Big Brother and they come back?"
Zhao Ercheng said: "Don't panic. In two days, we will go to the county together to give my eldest brother a surprise!"
Zhao Sancheng chuckled. He looked down and saw his stuffed wine glass, and he remembered something.
"Call someone over, I'm afraid they'll have to bring back more drinks."
Hearing this, He Ju looked at Zhao Yuanle.
"Lele, how long has it been since you exchanged money?"
Zhao Yuanle: "Are the Jiang family anxious?"
He Ju nodded: "Well, we don't have any sorghum to eat. I gave them some rice noodles that day."
Zhao Yuanle thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go change it tomorrow and buy some drinks and groceries on the way."
Zhao Ercheng proposed to go with Zhao Yuanle.
He really wants to go out now.
"I've been bored for almost two months. I just want to go out and have a look, and let others know that I'm better."
Zhao Yuanle couldn't help but smile: "Okay!"
The family finished their dinner in a happy mood.
Zhao Sancheng remembered the last time he weighed the pigs and suggested weighing them again tonight.
Zhao Yuanle has no objection.
However, she felt that the scale at her home might be a bit inadequate.
In a month, other pigs can only grow about thirty or forty pounds, but her pigs can grow three times as long.
Now, each of these pigs looks half-big, and each of them must weigh more than 150 kilograms.
The whole family stood in front of the pig pen, looking at the scale in Zhao Sancheng's hand and the size of the pigs. They didn't say anything, but their eyes were clearly full of suspicion.
Zhao Sancheng held the steel scale, scratched his head, and couldn't help but said: "Why do we weigh them? We have to know how much these pigs weigh."
Zhao Ercheng thought for a while and suggested: "Lao San, bring the big scale."
Zhao Sancheng: "Should we use a large scale?"
Zhao Yuanle blinked and began to search through his memory.
The large scale... looks like a long red rosewood scale with an iron weight weighing several kilograms.
The pigs in the pigsty all came towards Zhao Yuanle, waiting for Zhao Yuanle to hug them one by one.
When the big scale was brought, Zhao Yuanle decided to weigh the wild boar first.
She picked up the wild boar without much effort, wrapped it in cloth, hung it on the scale, and then lifted the scale.
Zhao Ercheng looked on and nodded with satisfaction.
She is really strong... she deserves to be his daughter.
Zhao Yuanle placed the weight far back from the end of the scale and finally weighed the wild boar.
Two hundred and seven pounds...
He is really the boss, he eats the most and grows the most.
Zhao Yuanle also weighed the rest of the pigs one by one. The fattest black pig among them was over 180, and the four white pigs were not much different, reaching 17. Only the little white sow was lighter, barely reaching 1.
