Chang Mei and Liu Meilin unloaded the wild boar from their bicycles, marveling at its appearance.

Changmei assumed her younger brother hadn't gone to work today and had gone to the mountains to hunt this wild boar.

When Liu Meilin met Chang Kun this morning, she didn't see any wild boars. Now, in the middle of the afternoon, she has already hunted down such a big wild boar. What kind of luck is this!

"Uncle, I won't do it. I'll just cut off the pork fat and render the oil. We can eat at home tonight."

Liu Meilin agreed. It was nothing for him to eat an extra bite of such a big pig, but dealing with the wild boar would take quite a bit of time.

First, use a cleaver to cut off the fat, and let Changmei slowly render it on the stove.

Liu Meilin carefully cut the remaining neck meat, shoulder meat, tenderloin, pork belly, and rump meat little by little. This is the kind of pig that a family in the countryside couldn't earn in several years.

Several young girls watched from the side, unafraid of the blood, only licking their lips, wanting to eat the meat.

Gradually, the aroma of cooking oil residue wafted over from the stove, and the little ones moved to the doorstep, sniffing the smell intently.

Chang Mei dared not let the young girls get close to the stove, lest they get burned by the hot oil and be left with scars for life.

Chang Kun, holding Xiao Bao, took out a handful of preserved plums from his spatial storage to stop the little girls from drooling.

While Liu Meilin was diligently scraping the pork off the bones, Chang Dashan and Liu Meifen finished get off work.

"Hey! Merlin, what brings you here? Where did this huge pig come from?"

As soon as Liu Meifen entered the courtyard, she started shouting and yelling. Then, she sniffed and asked, "Is this... boiling oil?"

Chang Dashan stared wide-eyed at the wild boar on the ground. He had just joked with his son yesterday about hunting a wild boar for Xiaoqing and the others to eat, and today they had a wild boar.

Is it really that effective?

Seeing Chang Kun smiling silently to the side, Liu Meifen also realized what was happening, quickly took two steps forward and put her arm around her son's shoulder: "I knew my son was capable, hehehe..."

At this moment, Chang Mei had already scooped out the oil residue, put it in a basin, and brought it out.

"Oh, oh, there's oil residue!" Chang Qing was the first to gather around her older sister.

"Slow down, it's still hot!" Chang Mei instructed, returning to the stove to clean up the rendered lard.

Chang Qing held the basin with both hands, while Chang Mei and Chang Xiu picked up a few pieces of fried dough and gave one to each of their parents, older brother, and younger brother.

Then they squatted down to the side, their four little heads huddled together, eating the fried pork cracklings with gusto.

The crispy and delicious taste was so appealing that their eyes narrowed into slits.

Xiao Shui munched on the side, nodding repeatedly. No wonder Xiao Qing and the others said the fried pork cracklings were delicious; she had never eaten anything so fragrant before.

Chang Dashan and Liu Meifen have already started helping to clean the pork. There's so much meat, it'll take a long time to eat it all. They just sold one pig at the supply and marketing cooperative, so they'll share more of this pig with their relatives.

Chang Mei used the lard at the bottom of the pot to stir-fry some sliced ​​meat.

After scooping out a few smaller sea bass, Chang Kun asked his older sister to fry them. However, she didn't add any oil at all; she just wanted to use the little oil at the bottom of the pan to stir-fry them.

"Hey, big sister, let me do it..." The way she's doing it is such a waste of the fish. There's so much oil in the house, is it really necessary to be so frugal?

After pouring in eight or nine spoonfuls of oil and waiting for it to heat up, they put the cleaned and gutted sea bass into the oil. The sizzling sound immediately attracted the attention of the three people cleaning pork in the yard.

While Liu Meilin stood up and stretched, she glanced at the stove.

"Wow, Xiao Kun, how can you be so greedy? You put so much oil in just one fish dish!" He saw that the oil in the pot was almost submerging the fish.

"Your nephew, I don't know who he takes after, he always uses oil so extravagantly." Liu Meifen didn't even look at the stove. If she saw how much oil had been used, she would feel bad about it, so she simply chose to avoid seeing it and not worry about it.

Chang Dashan wiped his sweat and chuckled a few times: "You always said our son looks like you, maybe he's a descendant of the Liu family..."

Liu Meifen: ...

Liu Meilin was also a little embarrassed. Last time, Chang Kun sent a lot of meat to his house, and he boasted that his nephew was like his uncle.

After tidying up, the whole family sat around the eight-immortal table. There were still a few leftover steamed buns in the house. They broke open the buns, put slices of meat inside, and took a bite, their mouths filled with the aroma of meat.

Chang Kun couldn't eat that kind of meat that was all fat, but the others ate it with great relish.

Especially the younger girls, the fattier the meat, the more delicious it tasted. Chang Kun felt a little nauseous just looking at it, because they had been so lacking in meat before.

After eating a few bites of meat and having something in their stomachs, Chang Dashan and Liu Meilin started drinking.

"Uncle, Dad, try this fish. It's fried until crispy, perfect with drinks."

Liu Meilin glanced at the golden-brown sea bass and swallowed hard. "Xiao Kun, you used so much oil! Even if you put a piece of cow dung in the oil, it would still smell delicious!"

As soon as he said that, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

When Chang Kun fried bean worms last time, Chang Qing said the same thing. It's true that a nephew is like his uncle.

Liu Meilin didn't drink much, as she was going home that night; she just ate a lot and kept burping.

Several deep-fried sea bass received unanimous praise from the little girls. This type of fish has few bones, and after being deep-fried, the bones become crispy, making it incredibly delicious.

Before leaving, Liu Meifen packed up the remaining stir-fried meat slices for her younger brother to take back to Xiaoshui Niang.

Chang Kun went to the yard and took a large piece of belly meat, a pig's leg, and put the whole pig's head into a sack for his uncle.

"Xiao Kun, this is too much!" It's normal for a nephew to share some meat with his uncle after hunting a wild boar, but Chang Kun took way too much.

"Uncle, take the belly meat back and let Auntie render the oil. Keep the pig's leg to eat slowly. My parents don't have time to deal with this pig's head, so let Auntie prepare it."

Without saying a word, Liu Meifen lifted the sack and hung it on her younger brother's shoulder: "Stop talking, your nephew is capable, you can benefit from it too."

Liu Meilin's eyes were a little red. In this day and age, to have a job, to be able to eat enough food, and to even have meat to eat, is all thanks to her nephew.

Without saying anything sentimental, Liu Meilin put her arm around Xiao Shui and headed home.

"Mother, let Xiaoshui stay at home." Chang Qing and the others were reluctant to part with their cousin.

Xiao Shui also looked back at Chang Qing and the others. In just half an afternoon, she not only ate all kinds of delicious food she had never tasted before, but also played with all the toys with her sisters.

Normally, I can only go up the mountain with my mother to dig for wild vegetables at home. When have I ever had such a happy time?

"That would be too much trouble..." Liu Meilin declined, as leaving the child at her aunt's house would always cause her worry.

Liu Meifen spoke up: "There's no trouble at all. Usually, Xiaomei takes care of the girls. Let Xiaoshui stay at home for a few days so she can get closer to her sisters."

Seeing the hope in Xiaoshui's eyes, and knowing that Liu Meifen's family wasn't short of food, Liu Meilin nodded and patted Xiaoshui's head: "You must listen to your aunt and older brothers and sisters here, okay?"

Xiao Shui grinned happily and ran to Chang Qing's side. The two held hands and giggled.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm leaving now. I'll bring the pig's head over in a couple of days once it's cooked." Liu Meilin called out before getting up and leaving.

Xiao Shui had already turned around and was playing with a few other little girls.

All that could be heard was Chang Qing scolding Xiu'er: "Drink less water at night, or you'll wet the bed and wash away your little water..."
