Chapter 68: The Big Shoulder Pole
Chen Liping is very honest to outsiders, but he is very powerful when he gets home.

The two of them kept arguing with each other and started quarreling right at the doorstep.

"Look at you, why are you saying so much? You still have to go and persuade her later." Chen Guogang gently pulled Wang Hongmei and complained in a low voice.

"What else is there to say? Just persuade him to go." Wang Hongmei was also helpless.

"Anyway, they rarely stop fighting throughout the year. So we just ignore them unless they start fighting." Other villagers who were watching the fun said.

Chen Liping and Ding Xiaohong love to quarrel, and everyone is tired of playing peacemaker over the years.

Fortunately, the two of them quarreled for a few words, and the noise gradually disappeared after they entered the house.

Chen Hui became lively again, cutting open the pig's belly with a big knife, and the slaughtering entered the most interesting stage.

"Wenjing, go get a big basin and some big bowls!" Chen Dapeng was good at slaughtering pigs, and he was in the main position with the knife in his hand.

After breaking open the wild boar's abdomen, all the internal organs were carefully taken out and handed over to the woman for cleaning.

With the help of several big men, they quickly chopped off the pig's head and four trotters.

"Sister Lin Jiao, come out for a moment!" Wang Ahua grabbed a big pig's trotter and shouted towards the kitchen.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Lin Jiao patted the dust off her hands and came out.

"Mother-in-law, have a big pig's trotter. I'll have to help take care of the child in the future."

Wang Ahua laughed and stuffed the big pig's trotter into Lin Jiao's hand.

"Haha, okay. Eat, eat, eat. Take care of them. As long as they can give birth, I will take care of as many as they want." Lin Jiao laughed and took the big pig's trotter.

"Sister Lin Jiao is willing to do it, but unfortunately the policy does not allow her to be tired. She will have to eat the big pig's trotter." The woman in Chen Weijun's family said with a smile.

"There are ways to do this, you know."

Speaking of this, several women began to exchange experiences enthusiastically.

Lin Jiao was interested in this, so she called An Wenjing in to light the fire, and she listened from outside.

While chatting and laughing, a big pig was quickly divided into many parts.

Chen Hui took out the beam scale at home and weighed two kilograms of pork belly for each of them to take back as agreed.

The pig's internal organs were cleaned very cleanly.

Chen Hui left behind the pig heart that he loved to eat and the pig liver that An Wenyi loved to eat.

The rest were also divided.

Everyone left home happily with a lot of gains.

Chen Hui took out the one pound of lean and one pound of fat pork belly that he had left for Chen Liping early in the morning and went to knock on his door.

"I'm coming!"

After knocking twice, there was an immediate response from the house.

Chen Liping came over holding an oil lamp and opened the door. Seeing Chen Hui, he smiled and said, "Come in and sit down. Come in and sit down."

"No, there's still a lot of cleaning to do at home."

"This is the pork for you. It's not the leftovers. I specially saved the good ones for you." Chen Hui handed over the pork tied with hemp rope.

"Oh, thank you." Chen Liping said happily.

Two pounds of pork, if you save it a little, it can last for many days.

"Of course I will leave now."

Chen Hui waved his hand and turned to leave, but was stopped by Chen Liping.

"Lord Liping, is there anything else?" Chen Hui asked.

"Ah Hui, I'm sorry!"

"I just learned some things today. Your Aunt Xiaohong has never been a good person. Don't take it to heart."

Chen Liping's smile seemed a little unnatural.

"No way, let's go." Chen Hui patted Chen Liping's hand and walked towards his home. Ding Xiaohong was in the living room, stretching her neck to look in the direction of the door.

Seeing Chen Hui leaving, he hurried over and took the oil lamp in one hand and the meat in the other.

Using the oil lamp to illuminate the meat, he carefully examined it and said happily, "It's good meat. I didn't expect Chen Hui to be such a honest person."

Chen Liping felt a little embarrassed and looked at his wife with a sigh.

"What are you looking at? Do you dare to say in all conscience that you really don't know?"

"You never skip a single bite of your meal, but when you encounter something shameful you always blame it on me."

With two kilograms of meat hanging in her hand, Ding Xiaohong was in a good mood and was too lazy to get angry with Chen Liping.

After hanging the meat above the water tank, I finally felt relieved. I picked up the unfinished soles and started tinkering with them.

In the house across the alley, the kitchen light was still on.

It’s such a big pig, so we’ll have a lot of work to do next.

An Wenjing took An Wenyi to the door of the next-door neighbor and picked a handful of onions.

Lin Jiao cut off all the fat from the pig, removed the skin, cut it into small pieces and put it in a large basin, preparing to boil the lard overnight.

Chen Hui took down the tenderloin that was kept from the pillar in the kitchen because it was the easiest to cook. He waved to An Wenjing and said, "Come with me to Grandma Jinhua's house."

"Brother-in-law! I want to go too!" An Wenyi said to her sister.

"Do you want some assorted candies I bought from the county this morning?!"

An Wenyi's eyes rolled and she nodded expectantly.

"Then go and light the fire. If the fire is still burning when I come back, I'll give you two candies as a reward."

This is too tempting.

An Wenyi looked up at An Wenjing.

He hesitated for a moment between his sister and candy, then rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.

Chen Hui took the ribs and meat and went out with An Wenjing.

It was already completely dark, and the moonlight was not very bright. An Wenjing looked down at the hands they were holding, but did not struggle to break free.

"Brother Chen Hui, why did you suddenly give the meat to Grandma Jinhua? Do you think she's having a hard time?" An Wenjing guessed.

Wu Jinhua married from Dasa Village and is somewhat related to Wu Shuisheng.

Her husband died when she was young, and she raised her three sons by herself.

Two of them went out to make money and never were heard from again, and the remaining one is an unfilial son.

Wu Jinhua lives alone and usually grows some crops. When the harvest is bad, he has no food to eat.

The villagers felt sorry for this old lady in her sixties or seventies, and would give her some extra good things during the holidays.

"It's not just because of this. Grandma Jinhua is a nice person."

"Once it was raining heavily and I couldn't go to Dasha Village. I didn't have any food in the village. When I came back, I met Grandma Jinhua. She pulled me in and heated up a steamed corn that someone had given me."

Later, whenever Chen Hui passed by her house, he would walk faster.

The warmth he felt that time had always remained in his heart, and in his previous life, whenever he returned to the village, he would always slip some money under the crack of her door.

"Grandma Jinhua is such a nice person. When I get old, I want to be such a nice grandma."

An Wenjing was also a little moved.

When the two of them went over, Wu Jinhua was just about to go to bed, but when he heard the knock on the door, he got up and opened it.

When he saw Chen Hui bringing the meat, he was very touched at first.

Suddenly he frowned, went into the house, took a pole and started to chase people away, saying, "Go, go, go, go!"
