Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 30 Eating Meat 02
The second uncle was cutting meat with a sickle when he heard his younger brother's words and immediately teased, "You don't happen to be like that Wang Mazi in the team, you like to eat shit, do you?"

The second uncle stared at the pile of pig manure at his younger brother's feet, his face a picture of unspeakable dismay.

"Nonsense, Second Brother, don't frame me." After speaking out, she followed her second brother's gaze and saw that she was actually standing in a pile of pig manure.

“No, that’s not what I meant. Oh, I don’t like this stuff. I meant this, this.” She said, holding up the piece of fat in her hand and shaking it.

Bai Jing and her two aunts were amused by the two bickering.

However, Bai Jing was more curious about, "Second Uncle, did Wang Mazi really eat shit?" That stuff is edible.

Such a strong taste?
When his niece asked, Uncle Bai was happy to answer her question, "It depends on what kind of poop it is."

"How do you say this?"

"Wang Mazi has a habit of always picking his nose, and he can't bear to throw away the boogers he picks out."

Bai Jing asked curiously, "What's the point of that thing if you don't throw it away? Does he eat boogers?" Suddenly, Bai Jing felt a little nauseous.

"If you answer correctly, there is no reward."

Seeing Bai Jing's expression, the others burst out laughing.

The more she talked, the more disgusting it became, and Bai Jingzhen couldn't listen anymore.

"Stop, aunties, we still need to eat in a while. If you keep talking, will you be able to eat the meat later?"

Good heavens, she'll have to stay far away from Wang Mazi if she ever runs into him again; she doesn't want to be disgusted by such a nasty person.

“That’s right, I can’t say anymore, I feel nauseous too,” Uncle Bai said with a look of disgust.

The aroma of stir-fried meat soon filled the kitchen, and the group quickened their pace.

Luo Chunhua's cooking skills are quite good; the stir-fried meat she makes is both fragrant and delicious.

There was plenty of meat tonight, and with so many people, Luo Chunhua didn't skimp on the portions and cooked several meat dishes.

Today's dishes aren't served in large bowls, but directly in basins, which shows how generous the portions are.

A shout of "Dinner's ready!" came from the kitchen, and the three people who were busy outside immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the kitchen.

The seven children had already served everyone their meals.

Today's meal consisted of rice mixed with beans, and the four children from my second and third uncles' families were very excited.

After all, they hadn't had such a substantial meal in a long time; they usually ate only thin porridge.

Seeing them come in, they quickly said, "Dinner's ready." Then each family's children handed their parents' bowls of rice to them.

Bai Jing also received a rice bowl from her younger brother, which was filled to the brim.

Xiao Qing handed her older sister chopsticks, and Bai Jing felt incredibly satisfied seeing how thoughtful they were.

Her younger siblings were very good to her when she was little.

At first, everyone scrambled to eat, but later they slowed down, since there was still plenty of meat in the pot and pan.

Even when my stomach was full, I still wanted to eat.

It wasn't until the adults noticed something was wrong and took away their bowls and chopsticks that they calmed down.

"Go run around in the yard. Your bloated bellies will hurt when you sleep at night," Luo Chunhua said worriedly, seeing the children's protruding bellies.

She even got up and chased the children out of the kitchen.

Without the children making noise, the group was able to get down to business.

“We’ll go up the mountain across the street and bring the wild boar back when it gets dark. Sister-in-law, I’ll need to trouble you to boil some more water. We’ll have to clean the meat when we get back.”

Uncle Bai was still thinking about the two wild boars in the big tree. Luo Chunhua nodded, "Okay." She was also excited, after all, it was the first time in her life that she had seen so much meat. "But it's hot, and our families can't finish all this meat. It would be such a waste if it went bad."

The elder sister-in-law's words also enlightened the group.

Bai Jing had already planned it out. Tomorrow she would go to pay her younger siblings' tuition fees, and she would take the meat with her to town to sell it off, since she had a cheat device.

“Sister-in-law is right. We can’t smoke cured meat at this time of year. If someone sees us, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause,” Aunt Bai said in agreement.

"We can't keep this meat."

There was another moment of silence among them. Just as Bai Jing was about to speak, her third uncle raised his hand.

That's right, raise your hand, like a student.

Bai Jing wanted to laugh, but her third uncle beat her to it before she could speak.

"Sister-in-law, second brother, since we can't keep this meat, why don't we take it to the commune to sell?" Their village is only two hours away from the commune, so once they've packed it up, they can carry it to the commune.

"Sister-in-law, second brother, I know two people in the commune. We can sell this meat to them."

Bai Jing always knew that her third uncle was intelligent, but he had been exploited by his family for too long, which made him slowly lose his fighting spirit.

The third aunt glanced at her husband and understood that he was planning to be honest with her second brother and sister-in-law.

However, she doesn't mind. Her sister-in-law has been good to her family, so she is naturally willing to be good to her sister-in-law in return.

Helping my sister-in-law's family is also an option.

When Bai Jing heard her third uncle mention selling meat, her eyes immediately lit up.

“Mother, I think this is a good idea. There are several hundred pounds of meat. Even if the three families eat it every day, it will take a long time. It would be best to sell the meat and use the money to exchange for some tickets.”

"Winter is just around the corner, so we should prepare some cotton for the house. Our winter clothes are all worn out."

Actually, it wasn't as bad as Bai Jing described. The clothes were still wearable, but instead of cotton, they were filled with willow catkins and cattail seeds.

Every year, Luo Chunhua starts collecting willow catkins in April and cattails in August or September.

These two items are all we need to get through the winter.

The clothes made from them are only replaced once a year, and the lining cannot be washed.

Not only clothes, but also quilts are made from these two things.

Hearing her daughter's words, Luo Chunhua realized that she had caused her children hardship over the years.

"Okay, I'll do as your third uncle says." Sell it, and then we'll buy cotton.

It won't be easy to buy cotton in a few months, so now is the perfect time to start preparing.

Since the eldest sister-in-law had spoken, the others naturally had no objections; they actually thought the same thing.

However, Uncle Bai Er was not as bold as Uncle Bai San, and did not dare to think about it.

That evening, Bai's uncle and aunt, along with Bai Jing and her mother, were busy until eleven or twelve o'clock.

The children huddled together to sleep, and at that moment, no one thought about going back.

Only Uncle Bai and Bai Jing were assigned to sell the meat; the rest of the people had to go to work the next day.

The team leader deliberately made things difficult for them today, so he didn't let them work this afternoon.

If they don't go to work, the team leader might make a scene. If the team leader still doesn't plan to assign them work the next day, then they should go home and rest. Anyway, they can't ask to go to work.

My darlings, let's get those lucky little hands moving and give us some votes! Love you all!
