Chapter 1017: Slaughter a Pig to Celebrate

Seeing Zhao Zhao Cuiyun, Wang An immediately greeted:

"Aunt Zhao, come over here."

Ever since she became familiar with the work that needed to be done in Wang An's house every day, Zhao Zhao Cuiyun had been working very comfortably in Wang An's house.

Because in Wang An's house, besides adding grass and feed to the livestock every day, Zhao Zhao Cuiyun just cleaned up the dung in each livestock pen, and occasionally pulled weeds in the vegetable garden; in a day, she worked at most about 5 hours.

Sometimes after the morning work was finished, she would go home and busy herself with her own family's affairs.

A while ago, she suddenly said she didn't want to eat lunch at Wang An's house and wanted to exchange lunch for money.

To be honest, Wang An was a bit disgusted when he heard it; the main thing was that the work in Wang An's house wasn't tiring, and the working time every day wasn't long, so it could be said that a salary of 15 yuan a month was already quite high.

This guy was good; Zhao Zhao Cuiyun was still thinking about exchanging lunch for money.

However, Wang An thought about it simply and felt it wasn't a big deal, so he agreed and gave her a raise of 3 yuan a month, which was considered a subsidy.

Wang An's salary was only 12.5 yuan a month, so it could be seen that Zhao Zhao Cuiyun's salary of 18 yuan was truly not low.

Zhao Zhao Cuiyun walked straight over upon hearing Wang An's greeting.

Wang An didn't talk nonsense and said directly:

"Aunt Zhao, there's a lot of work in our house today. After your work is finished in a while, come over and help out, and bring the child over to eat here in the evening."

Zhao Zhao Cuiyun nodded upon hearing this:

"Yeah, I know, Xiao An. I'll go fill the grass for the livestock and come over immediately."

As she spoke, Zhao Zhao Cuiyun walked towards the horse shed.

Very quickly, Liu Liu Guilan and Li Li Xiuyu walked out of the house, and Mu Mu Xueqing, with her big belly, also followed out.

As soon as she arrived, Liu Liu Guilan scolded Wang An with dissatisfaction:

"Li Xiuyu came to chat with Mu Xueqing, and you grabbed her for labor; why do you have so many things to do?"

It had to be said, Liu Liu Guilan's IQ was absolutely sufficient, because her words were spoken, absolutely making Li Li Xiuyu unable to find fault in the future.

Of course, even if Liu Liu Guilan didn't say it, it would be fine. After all, Li Li Xiuyu and her family were trapped in the quagmire of loan sharks, and it was Wang An who saved them from inside, so Wang An letting Li Li Xiuyu help do some work was also a matter of course.

But no matter what, Li Li Xiuyu was now Wang Li's object, a guest, so Wang An ordering her to do work was truly a bit inappropriate.

After Liu Liu Guilan finished speaking, she heard Li Li Xiuyu say very sensibly:

"Aunt, what are you saying? I came to help do work; I only chat with my sister-in-law when there's no work to do."

Liu Liu Guilan laughed out loud and said:

"Our Old Five is blessed, finding such a good wife as Li Xiuyu, hahahahaha."

Li Li Xiuyu smiled shyly, holding the hammer and feeling a bit embarrassed.

Under Wang An's personal demonstration, Liu Liu Guilan and Li Li Xiuyu learned how to make this foot trap very quickly.

The main thing was that this thing was truly very simple and didn't have technical content at all.

Just like that, Liu Liu Guilan and Li Li Xiuyu also joined the team making wooden board foot traps.

After a while, Wang Wang Daliang and his wife and Wang Li came over with hammers, and the team making foot traps expanded again.

By 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Zhao Cuiyun had finished feeding the livestock, and Shen Wei had settled her mother-in-law and Xiao Lai Zi and came over to see what she could help with. Wang An arranged these two into the team making foot traps directly.

With this, Feng Feng Chengmin, Mu Mu Xueli, Wang An, Liu Liu Guilan, Li Li Xiuyu, Shen Wei, Zhao Zhao Cuiyun, and Wang Li's family of three, a total of 10 people, "clanged" and hammered nails in Wang An's courtyard for an entire afternoon.

Only Wang Wang Dashu stood in front of the circular saw for half an afternoon, sawing wood until past 4 o'clock, when all the wooden boards were sawed.

Wang Wang Dashu, who finished sawing the wooden boards, didn't stay idle either and immediately joined the team making foot traps.

But even with 11 people busy making foot traps, it wasn't until past 5 o'clock that everyone finished making all the foot traps.

It had to be said, Wang An was still very far-sighted; if it weren't for Wang An's decisive action to summon everyone together to make foot traps, those 1500-plus foot traps, if only Wang An and Feng Feng Chengmin and their four people were doing it, it was estimated they would have to do it until the middle of the night.

All the foot traps were finished, and Wang An's heart was filled with joy.

Because tomorrow Wang An and the others could go directly into the mountains, and then find the deer herd to set the foot traps, which could be said to not have delayed any time at all.

In his joy, Wang An decided to slaughter a pig to celebrate.

The small piglet caught before the new year, because it had eaten quite a lot of corn flour, had now grown to 160 or 170 jin, and because it had been castrated, the pork could be said to be at the time when it was damn delicious.

Therefore, Wang An said to Mu Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"Mu Xueli, Old Five, you two go to the pig pen and catch a pig out; we'll eat pork tonight, pick a big one."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Mu Mu Xueli tentatively asked:

"Brother-in-law, is there any need to slaughter a pig?"

Feng Feng Chengmin also immediately said:

"Yeah, just eat a bite, that's fine. After eating, I still have to go back."

Wang An said casually:

"After eating, it'll be dark; what are you going back for? My house has plenty of rooms, stay here for the night and drink well."

Wang An said, and glanced at Liu Liu Guilan with his eyes, finding that Liu Liu Guilan didn't show any anger or stinginess, and only then was his heart slightly settled.

To be honest, Liu Liu Guilan's consistent way of living without being willing to eat or wear, Wang An truly couldn't agree with.

If there was no money, that would be fine, because not having money and being stingy was called being a loser, but having money and still being stingy was truly a bit unreasonable.

Fortunately, after such a long time of influence, Liu Liu Guilan had been changed a lot by Wang An and was no longer stingy.

The main thing was that Liu Liu Guilan knew too well what her son was like; Wang An was always thinking of one thing after another, could make money, but was also quite capable of spending money. No matter what she said to him, it was useless. If he wanted to eat, he ate, and never hesitated.

However, although Liu Liu Guilan didn't speak, Wang An had been paying attention to his mother's facial expression, because eating pork and making his mother angry was truly not worth it!

After confirming again and again that his mother wasn't angry, Wang An turned to Mu Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"You two go quickly, it'll be dark in a while."

Seeing Wang An's firm attitude, Mu Mu Xueli and Wang Li then walked towards the pig pen.

At this time, Shen Wei suddenly said:

"Then I'll go boil water, so it'll be easy to remove the pig hair later."

Wang An immediately blocked her upon hearing this:

"No need, Sister Shen, wild pig hair is hard to remove, and wild pig skin isn't delicious either, so don't remove the pig hair."

Wang An wasn't talking nonsense; although this kind of domestic wild pig could have its hair removed, ever since he removed it that one time before, Wang An never removed the hair again. The main thing was that it was exhausting to remove it, and in the end, the wild pig skin was also something to be thrown away, and no one in the family ate it.

Thanks to "Emperor of the Great Number Empire" for the reward, thank you, thank you!

Wishing you, big brother, smooth sailing and everything going well!
