After the dog was sent away, Li Ruhai took the little bell with him, and Li Xiaoqiao put it in the doghouse and cleaned up the dog poop. They are all children from the countryside, and no one would mind being buried.

Li Baoyu, Xie Zhong, and Jie Chen came back soon, and they led the donkey behind Zhao's house to the backyard of Li's house.

Then, the three of them began to kill chickens and geese. Two big roosters, a big white goose, and two innocent ducks, together they became the souls of the dead.

Chickens and geese were used to entertain guests. As for the ducks, Wang Meilan disliked their quacking, so although they were not used to entertain guests, she had them killed together.

The five poultry were plucked through the water, and the women even took action. The chicken feathers, duck feathers, and goose feathers were collected separately, and the feathers on the wings were tied together individually. These can be sold for money.

With more people and greater strength, after the poultry shed their feathers, there were still some small fine hairs on the chickens, and some small downs on the geese and ducks. At this time, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun had finished burning the knuckles of the four wild boars, and they began to burn the poultry again.

At the same time, two large pots were placed on the stove in the Zhao family's yard. Li Baoyu, Xie Zhong, and Jie Chen were chopping wood, carrying water, and boiling water.

Pour cold water into the pot, put the sliced ​​pork belly and packed pork knuckles into the pot and blanch them.

Then came the chopped chicken and goose, and the pot in Li's house was not idle either. Jie Sun made a fire, and the old lady simply blanched the soaked fungus and mushrooms.

Everyone was busy until half past nine. All the ingredients were ready, pots of blanched meat, plates of prepared vegetables, and fried tofu cubes were placed in Li's house.

The fires in the two large stove pits outside have been extinguished. Everyone tidied up the Zhao family's yard together, and then everyone went into the house and waited for someone from the Ma family to come.

The Zhao family attaches great importance to it, and so does the Ma family. At ten minutes to ten o'clock, a large group of people from the Ma family came out of the house. After Wang Cuihua locked the door, she and Ma Ling supported Liu Tiezui on the left and right.

The Zhao family is coming.

Liu Tiezui was in poor health, so with the support of Wang Cuihua and Ma Ling, she walked for ten minutes for the four to five-minute journey.

Just after ten o'clock, a group of people arrived outside the Zhao family courtyard. At this time, the Ma family was silent. Ma Yang held a large bundle wrapped in red cloth and handed it to Liu Tiezui.

Seeing this big baggage, Liu Tiezui clicked his eyes, took a deep breath, and took the baggage with difficulty.

With Wang Cuihua's support, Liu Tiezui walked tremblingly to the door of Zhao's courtyard, raised his head and shouted: "Brother Zhao, Sister-in-law Zhao, I'm bringing a guest (qiě) for you!"

Fortunately, the dogs were all taken away, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hear anything when they barked.

At this time, the dog left and the goose was killed. Liu Tiezui shouted, and everything was quiet.

In the Li family's house, everyone gathered in front of the window to watch the fun. In the Zhao family's house, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na were taking good care of Xiao Zhou on the kang in the west room. Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang, Zhao Ling, Zhao Chun, and Zhou Jianjun were outside.

The house is waiting.

As soon as Liu Tiezui finished speaking outside, Zhao Youcai pushed the door open, and Wang Meilan came out first.
Chapter completed!
