When the little classmate Le returned to his hometown happily, the lives of people in the capital were still as tense and busy as before. After the little classmate’s school vacation, the Guwu family who came to Beijing also left Beijing and returned to their respective families. They came to Beijing. They were looking for a suspected fairy doctor. Now that they knew who it was, and she was not in the capital, they of course asked me to make a detailed report and then plan what to do next year.
The Tantai family is an exception. On the third day of Qingda University's holiday, the head of the Tantai family drove Tantai Mixue back to the seaside city where she chose to practice, leaving only her two grandsons to recuperate in the capital, and let Shou Bo stay in the capital. Accompanying his two children, he returned to his home to preside over the New Year and ancestor worship.
Tantai Mixue wanted to stay in the capital with Tantai Xunyang Xunhuan, but she couldn't disobey her master's words and left alone just like when she came.
Master Lan did not see her off because he took the opportunity to return to his family's residence on the 18th; Master Jiang and his two brothers also returned to Long Province on the 18th.
The young masters and young masters of the ancient martial arts sect evacuated from the capital on the 18th and 19th. They came back quickly, which was quite cool.
After Yan Xing stayed in the garrison for so long, Red Fourteen's eyes were adapted to the late light. He didn't have to stare at it all the time. He led his team to leave Beijing for the mission, completely ignoring the mess of the Zhao family.
The captain stopped monitoring. The first thing he did was to go see the unlucky guy who donated the eyes. The eyes didn’t have any strange reaction to the original owner. He was relieved and secretly made a plan. Join the training plan to prepare for missions as soon as possible.
Jin Er Er has been under observation in the hospital for a long time, and his leg injury is progressing towards a good recovery. Professor Lu Kang taught Director Qin that he originally wanted to keep him under observation for a few months, but Commander Liu of the garrison asked to take him back to the garrison. He was given a place to recuperate for easy care, but they couldn't resist and had no choice but to let him go.
After returning home, the beautiful boy studied visiting relatives every day, played ball and socialized with the boys, occasionally showed up at banquets of important dignitaries, and practiced meditation in the evening and morning. He lived a very comfortable life.
Zhao Yixiong and his son are on pins and needles every day. On the 17th, they were even in an ice cellar. The He family, who collaborated with the working group to verify official accounts, found many loopholes and traced the transfer of him and his son. The working group followed the evidence and traces of the company's property and found various evidence of tax evasion.
Zhao Yixiong and his stepson were so bold that they took the company's money privately for more than ten years. They owned a total of 18 real estate properties under their names. Zhao Zongze used the company's money to privately invest in the factory and used the transaction as an excuse. , transfer the company's money to the factory and turn it into its own private property.
The father and son seriously infringed on the company's property, with a cumulative total of more than 800 million. The company has maintained a minimal annual profit for many years, which also seriously infringed on the interests of the company's owners.
At the same time, the father and son teamed up with their cronies to make false accounts, and the total amount of tax evasion and tax evasion exceeded 300 million. The money was also divided between the father, son and other participants.
The amount of money involved is huge and it is an economic crime.
After checking the real evidence, the working group confirmed that the acting chairman of Feixia Group and his step-son transferredHe was prosecuted for transferring or misappropriating company property and tax evasion. At the same time, Yanxing entrusted the He family to prosecute in the name of the legal owner of the group.
On January 19, Zhao Yixiong and Zhao Zongze’s nightmare came. Their superiors approved the arrest of Zhao and his son. On the morning of that day, the relevant departments arrested Zhao Yixiong and Zhao Zongze with lightning speed. They also arrested Zhao Yixiong and Zhao Zongze. Several senior people were involved.
Zhao Yixiong was taken away from the company, and Zhao Zongze was taken away from home. Zhao Li saw his grandson being taken away, and heard that Yan Xing entrusted the He family to sue Zhao Yixiong in the name of the company owner. Zhao Zongze was so angry that he fainted. The Zhao family was so frightened that they were in chaos.
Waiting for a group of people to wake up, Zhao Li sat there for a long time, called Yan Xing, turned off the phone to cheer up, and tried to contact some Beijing officials he knew before, but everyone avoided them. However, no one was willing to say a word to him.
With no way to ask for help, Zhao Li burst into tears for the first time in front of the domestic servant. Yan Xing avoided seeing him and would no longer protect the Zhao family. Without Yan Xing's protection, how could his son or grandson do it? There is good fruit to eat.
He finally couldn’t bear to see his grandson and son suffer, so he went to the court to ask for a meeting. Because Zhao Yixiong committed an economic crime, the court allowed the father, son and grandson to meet once.
Zhao Li met his son and his son once and expressed his willingness to return the money they had embezzled and make up for the evaded taxes. He asked the bailiff to tell the He family to give him some time.
The He family gave him three days. When Zhao returned home, he immediately rushed to fix the leak. He first found a lawyer, and then dug out all the money in the accounts of his son, grandson, daughter-in-law, and the real estate in the name of his son and grandson. , leave it to the lawyer to find someone to evaluate the value.
While Zhao Li was working hard to make amends, the He family was entrusted by Yan Xing to formally take over the Feixia Group. He Qili assigned professionals and lawyers to carry out drastic rectification and adjustments to the Feixia Group, and the arrangements arranged by the Zhao family were All the cronies and bugs were eliminated, a merit-based approach was implemented, and a large number of mid-level people who were truly capable and reliable were promoted.
The He family took control of the group with lightning-fast moves, and did not give the Zhao family's cronies and several small shareholders any time to react. When they reacted, they His cronies have long been arrested or fired.
The people who were fired all resigned voluntarily. The reason was, of course, that they also participated in or helped cover up the Zhao and his son's corruption, misappropriation of public funds, tax evasion and other behaviors. If they did not resign on their own initiative, once official business was done, then What awaits them will be joining the same class as the Zhao father and son, and they will become notorious accomplices. In the future, they will not be able to find a job in the same industry, let alone work part-time in Kyoto.
No matter how efficient the lawyers entrusted by Zhao Li are, they may not be able to keep up with the plan in other aspects. Especially at the end of the year, when people in every industry are extremely busy, Zhao Li can only I waited anxiously, and when there was no news on New Year's Eve, I was so anxious that my mouth blistered.
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the whole country is busy preparing for the New Year, and rural areas are even more busy, stocking up on the New Year’s goods and killing the New Year.Pigs are usually killed when they are over 20 years old. Some people kill pigs for the New Year. Most of them kill pigs after the Little New Year, so that the pork is still fresh during the New Year.
The girl did not celebrate the New Year at home, and Le’s father Zhou Qiufeng did not neglect it either. According to custom, he offered sacrifices to the gods and sent the gods to heaven. Afterwards, he cleaned the house by himself and prepared whatever was needed. Some people in the village were also busy helping Others are killing pigs, and some are also busy settling wages and other accounts before the end of the year.
Village Chief Zhou’s family was slaughtering pigs on the 25th, but Zhou Qiufeng couldn’t help and didn’t go. Village Chief Zhou sent a big piece of meat and liver to the Le family, saying it was for the girl of the Le family;
On the same day, many people in the village were killing pigs. Cheng Youde’s family also killed a New Year pig and gave a piece to the Le family. There were two families who also got along well with Zhou Qiufeng and gave a piece to the Le family;
On the twenty-sixth, the Zhou family was killing the New Year pig, and Zhou Qiufeng went back to her parents' house to help with odd jobs. When the work was done, Brother Zhou took away a piece of seven or eight kilograms of meat and half of the pork belly for his sister without saying a word.
Zhou Qiufeng couldn't laugh or cry while carrying a piece of meat. Their family had been killing pigs for twenty-eight years, and the time was only one day apart. Since it was a gift from her brother, she took it home rudely.
Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming came back from school during the summer vacation. Seeing that Le Yun was not at home, they were relieved. If Le Yun was not here, their father would not compare them with others.
Leba’s boss, Boss Wu, is very considerate of everyone. After working a 26-day shift, he will have a holiday starting from the 27th of the new year, allowing the workers in the workshop to go back to work during the New Year. He himself also returns to the provincial capital Han City and family reunion.
The workshop invites two lonely elderly people to help guard it. This is the case every year. They make a reservation very early, and prepare new year goods and red envelopes for the caretaker early. Half of the salary is also paid in advance. In fact, every year during the New Year, Old bachelors and lonely old people are happy to show Boss Wu a workshop. They can eat, drink and receive money, which is the best for them.
Le’s father and his colleagues finished their last shift of the year and ended the work perfectly. They went home with the New Year’s red envelope and year-end bonus given by Boss Wu. When he returned home, it was dark again. I didn't hear my daughter's laughter outside the building, so I guessed that she hadn't come back.
After dinner, Le’s father handed over the red envelopes and bonuses to his wife. He has a virtuous wife at home. He only cares about doing things and does not need to worry about money or worry about food, salt, firewood, rice. It couldn’t be better.
January 24th is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month. That day is the Xinhai Day. Some people in the countryside do not kill pigs during the Xinhai Festival, so there are fewer people killing pigs on that day.
After dawn, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng was thinking about the girl and looking forward to her coming home. However, he did not wait from dawn to dusk.
If the girl doesn’t come back, the New Year pig will have to be killed. Therefore, on the 25th of the new year, the 28th day of the year, Le’s dad and Zhou Qiufeng got up early in the morning to make a delicious breakfast and put away the odds and ends in front of and behind the house. Put it away and wait until nine o'clock, then drive a big pot in front of the house to boil water and prepare the items needed to kill the pig.
The water for scalding the pig hair on the Lejia stove has not yet boiled, and the people who are helping to kill the pigs are arriving one after another, including Brother Zhou, Cheng Youde, Cheng Youliang, Father Cheng, Village Chief Zhou and his son Zhou Dahai. Xiaohai, Zhang Poluo and Liu who played well with Le's dadroad.
Zhang Poluo is a nickname. He has a rough voice, so the troublemakers gave him a nickname. He is used to calling him here and there. Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu’s parents are very close to the older generation of the Le family. , when Yueqing was in trouble, their two families also lent money to Lejia, and they still have a good relationship.
Both of them worked outside a lot, so they didn’t help Lejia during the double robbery. The construction site had a holiday on the New Year’s Day, so they went to Lejia to kill the New Year pig and come to Lejia to help. As for their parents , was picked up by their sisters and was not at home, so did not come to Lejia.
Cheng Youde’s wife Liu sister-in-law, Liu Lu’s wife Hu sister-in-law, and Zhang Poluo’s wife Zhao sister-in-law also came to Lejia to help. The women had nothing to do before killing the pigs, and they would wait until the new year pigs were killed to help. Clean the internal organs, help marinate bacon, etc.
The Cheng brothers, Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu went to help others kill pigs early in the morning. After breakfast, they went to help another family kill the New Year pig before coming to Lejia.
The men and women sat at Lejia for a while, waiting for the water to boil. The men went to the backyard pig pen to drive the pig to be killed and rushed into the main room of Lejia. Rural people are very particular about killing the pig in the new year. Pigs must be killed in front of the ancestral hall, and incense must be burned after killing the pigs to pray for a strong pig in the coming year.
Drive the pig into the main room, hook the pig's chin with an iron hook, and then everyone swarms up, pulling the tail of the tail, scratching the ears of the ears, gaiting the legs, and tie up a big fat pig. After dragging up the horizontal stool and placing a basin to catch the pig's blood under the pig's chin, Father Cheng slaughtered the pig.
The fat New Year pig howled. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. The blood flowed like a stream, and the howl became weaker. He released the pig's blood and threw the pig off the stool. The pig's legs were all broken. Without pedaling, I climbed up to the bliss and left.
The grown men carried the pigs outside to iron and shave them. While working, they talked about everyday things. They all said that Zhou Qiufeng had good hands and that the pigs he raised for only half a year were stronger than others who had raised them for a year.
There are many people and strength. After scalding the pig hair, wash it, hang it up, split it, and cut off the whole pig head. The owner takes it and puts it on the ancestral incense table, puts wine on it, and burns incense to worship the land that manages the livestock. god.
After the sacrifice is completed, the cook weighs the meat first, then removes the hair and handles it carefully, then chops it into half and stews the pig head meat. There is a custom in rural areas of eating pig head meat. Pigs are killed but not cooked. Meat, people like that will be regarded as the most stingy person. If people don't talk to you in person, you will be looked down upon behind your back. No one will be willing to help next time, unless you don't eat here because there are many people killing pigs that day. There is no need to cook pig head meat for the people who help kill the pigs.
Both men and women went to work, separating the pig's internal organs and carrying the meat to weigh it. Not counting the pig's head, it actually weighed 230 kilograms. This is the net weight. If it had not been weighed before killing, it would have been nearly 300 kilograms by visual inspection. catty.
Everyone has a job to do. Help the owner clean pig intestines, pig stomach and other internal organs. They are really clean. They can be put into the pot directly after scrubbing them with salt and cornstarch. .
The men were lucky enough to put the pork on the board, then cut it into pieces, chop off the pig's feet, and some people used it to burn and scald the pig's knuckles, separate out the fat to be refined, and make waxKeep the meat that does not need to be marinated, and keep the meat as a gift. Separate the pieces of meat that have their own uses.
Brother Zhou and Cheng Youde listened to Zhou Qiufeng and left a piece of the best meat for Xiao Lele to cook barbecue when he came back, and also left some to make dumpling fillings.
Because it was not yet noon, Sister-in-law Liu and the other women were helping to marinate the bacon. Brother Zhou and others were also busy, helping to cut the fat meat for oiling into three-finger-wide pieces. The oil would then be refining directly. Pour into the pot and don’t bother.
As the owner, Leba is the most idle. He only does small things such as lighting the fire, washing the vegetables for lunch, and peeling bamboo skewers for barbecue in his free time.
The men and women were busy until 11:30. When all the work was done, the table was set for dinner. Le's father picked up his mother-in-law, his eldest sister-in-law, and the Zhou siblings.
There are a lot of people. Women sit in the kitchen to eat, while men set a table outside. It’s lively.
After eating pig head meat at Lejia, the Zhou brothers and sister-in-law Zhou sneaked home early. Father Cheng, Village Chief Zhou and sisters-in-law Liu also went home. Brother Zhou, brothers from the Cheng family, and Zhang Poluo , Liu Lu went to another house to kill pigs.
Sending away the helpers, Zhou Qiufeng and Le’s father washed pots and made lard. Grandma Zhou had nothing to do at home, so she also helped Le’s family with the firework.
Grandma Zhou didn’t see Lele at noon. She originally wanted to scold her daughter and Yue Qing, but she finally held back. When no one else was around, she nagged her daughter and son-in-law in the afternoon. It's strange that the young couple didn't have the dignity of their parents and didn't urge the girl to go home, etc.
With the elders scolding them, Le Dad and Zhou Qiufeng had no room for resistance. With tears streaming down their faces, they carried the black pot that the elders had given them, hoping for the stars and the moon for the girl to come back and save them. Water and fire.
Le Yun also wanted to go home before the 28th, but she still had nothing to find, so she could only run in the mountains hard until noon on the 28th before she emerged from the deep mountains and old forests. come out.
Before returning to the real world from the savages, I put a lot of medicinal materials in my backpack and packed them into a big bag, all packed in thick black plastic bags.
Drill out from the mountains and find a natural dirt road. First hitch a ride on the road. In the Shennong Mountains, the mountain people in some places still maintain their simple and enthusiastic nature, making it easy to hitchhike. Of course, it refers to people who speak local dialects. It is more difficult for people who speak foreign languages. They are afraid that if they do good deeds and say nothing good, if something happens along the way, they will be beaten back and they will eventually be ruined.
I took a ride to the highway, waited for a long time for an empty van operated by the operator, and chartered a bus back to Jiudao Township. The van could only be delivered to a place not far from Meizijing Village, and the roads were blocked in some places.
After paying the money, Leyun carried her big and small bags and hurried forward. She passed by several houses on the way and was spotted by someone. She asked questions and met several villagers on the way. , and was asked again.
After being asked n times, Le Xiao’s face almost froze with laughter. She said that she could no longer bear it anymore and begged to be let go. When she was released, she did not dare to walk slowly and took a leisurely stroll. .
She ran too fast and others couldn’t see clearly, naturally he couldn't be caught, and he successfully evaded the "fire reconnaissance" of several people, and ran safely to the road beside the garden outside his building.
After adjusting her breath, Le Yun had to run home in staggering steps. When she could see the door of her house, she could smell the fragrance from far away and knew that lard was being made at home. The new mother stood holding something while turning the meat in the pot, and heard the sound of an iron spoon hitting the pot.
"Aunt Feng, Dad, the little cotton-padded jacket is back." He shouted happily and rushed to the building happily.
Hearing the shouting, Zhou Qiufeng turned her head happily and saw Lele coming back. Lele was wearing her father's camouflage jacket, carrying a backpack, and twisting the bulging bags in both hands.
She dropped the long-handled pot and spoon for mixing the meat in her hand and ran to meet him. When she ran to the side of the house, people rushed over. She grabbed two bags and helped carry them, "Lele, what are you doing again?" It's too late."
"I also want to come back early, but I can't make it in time." Le Yun bared her teeth and jumped to the big pot to see if there was no delicious oil residue.
The meat that has been rendered into oil is called oily dumplings, and some are also called oily ribs, such as pork belly, which has been made into oil. There are also some meats with skin that are cooked into fragrant and especially crispy, which is the favorite of children. .
Xiao Lele ran around and looked around, but Zhou Qiufeng ignored her and helped her carry her things to her bedroom.
Leyun was cutting pig intestines in the main room. When she heard the little cotton-padded jacket shouting, she wiped the oil off her hands with a rag and walked out with a cane. When she saw little Lele rushing in after Zhou Qiufeng, I was full of bitterness and wanted to pour it out, but when I saw the child's bright smiling face and heard the sweet "Dad", the grievance of being blamed by the elders disappeared immediately.
"Lele, did you have lunch?"
"No, I kept my stomach and came back to eat pig head meat." In order to make her father and new mother happy, Leyun was not hungry. , also said he hadn’t eaten anything.
"I left some delicious food for you. You put down your things and go take a shower, and I'll help you heat up the food." Dad Le heard that the sweet little cotton-padded jacket hadn't eaten yet, so he wasn't curious about what the child had brought back. , turned around and went to the kitchen.
Zhou Qiufeng opened the door with the key and carried the things into the girl's bedroom.
Le Yun slipped into the room, put down her backpack, sat down on the ground, and took off the bag to get some air.
"Fragrant fungus" Zhou Qiufeng was confused when he saw the contents in the bag. Xiao Lele ran all over the mountain just for wild fungus and mushrooms
"No, this is just an appearance. ," Le Yun explained while taking the fungus and mushrooms out, "They are all filled with medicinal materials. I was afraid that others would find out, so I put the fungus and mushrooms on top."
Zhou Qiufeng wiped his sweat and felt Lele. The rhythm of the big sweep was as she expected. When she took away the mushrooms and fungus, there was a tied bag underneath. When she opened it, there were all kinds of medicinal materials, including roots, branches, and leaves. .
Opening the bag, Le Yun took out another bag of honey from her backpack. The bag was tightly tied and there was not much honey, weighing about two or three kilograms.
Take out the things and leave her alone.Find clean clothes, take a bucket to the kitchen, pour hot water, carry it to the bathroom behind the house to take a shower, wash yourself from head to toe, dry your hair, and go into the kitchen to eat.
Zhou Qiufeng admired what the girl had brought back and went to refining oil. Dad Le continued to work on his own.
The New Year pigs raised in the countryside are fed with grains. The meat is particularly delicious. The pig head meat is stewed fragrantly. Le Yun ate a lot of meat and boiled vegetables, making her eighty percent full.
After having a full meal, she used a bamboo sieve to dry her own medicinal materials. Because her parents did not allow her to work, she found a few medicinal materials and pounded them into juice, prepared a bowl of sauce, and then cut the meat. Cut it into thin slices and marinate it in the sauce. Marinate it for about ten minutes. Then skewer it piece by piece and grill it. After grilling for a while, put the meat slices in the sauce and rinse it three or four times. The grilled meat will be fragrant and delicious. .
Le’s father, Zhou Qiufeng, also had the opportunity to have a full stomach. He ate until his eyes narrowed. He ate some himself and sent some back to Zhou’s house.
Grandma Zhou tasted two skewers, Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming were so greedy that they smelled the aroma wafting from Lejia, but they were too embarrassed to go see what delicious food was made. When the aunt brought the barbecue, they were greedy. They are scrambling to eat.
At the moment of delicious food, the siblings also selectively put aside what their aunt said that the barbecue was made by Le Yun, and snatched up all the food. They were not satisfied yet, but they were not greedy no matter how greedy they were. Unable to keep his face down, he ran to Lejia to ask Leyun for barbecue, so he had to smell the aroma in secret to satisfy his hunger.
Le Yun was so addicted to eating barbecue that she ran to wash her clothes. After washing her clothes, she found that it was still early, so she cut the meat again and made barbecue. She roasted it until it was done, and set it aside to cool. She roasted until it was almost dark and saved some money. A lot of them, I took out the vacuum packer I bought when I got home, connected it to the power supply, and packaged the barbecue.
Zhou Qiufengle’s father is a daughter-in-law. It’s up to her to do whatever the child wants to do, as long as she is happy. I heard from the child that she would pack it up and take one copy back to the school in the capital, giving one copy to the Chao family and her teacher. , they also readily agreed with her thoughtfulness, and even helped her barbecue, cut and package meat when they had time.
There was a lot of fat, and the refining was not finished by the time it got dark. Zhou Qiufeng was not in a hurry, and refined the oil while doing housework. It was finished at about ten o'clock in the evening, the stove fire was turned off, and all the oil barrels were moved into the house. You don’t need to move the stove and pots, just put up a few bamboos and cover them with a rainproof cloth.
