Chapter 115 Bellyband
Feng Xue wanted to eat big plate chicken again, so Jiang Ning went to the farm to catch a chicken for her.

Speaking of which, he has to thank Dapanji. If it weren't for Dapanji, he and Feng Yu would probably never have gotten together. It was because Feng Yu wanted to eat Dapanji that Feng Xue was knocked down, and later he had a series of beatings and Feng Yu's marriage.

There are no animals raised on the farm, all are free-range.

The chickens have gone wild and are very difficult to catch.

Moreover, this thing does not reproduce as fast as rabbits. Its number grows very fast. We only have about a hundred chickens raised in total. Several months have passed, and we haven't slaughtered or eaten them very often. There are only about two hundred of them in total, and they are basically invisible when the weather is hot.

Only in winter will they gather in specially built chicken coops to spend the winter.

These creatures are not like rabbits and know how to store food.

There are a lot of things to eat in summer, including insects, grass seeds and so on.

In winter, there is not much to eat.

Still need to feed.

Jiang Ning arrived at the chicken coop, but before he could get close, the chickens flew away with a cackling sound.

I chased it with a net bag for a long time but couldn't catch it.

Jiang Ning was in a pain in the balls, and several workers were also having a headache.

After the chickens were raised to the wild, it was hard to get close to them. After all, they have wings, so even if they don't fly very high, they can't be easily caught with two legs. After chasing them for a long time, we didn't catch any.

Jiang Ning was so angry that he started cursing and had to use his special skills.

After sending the workers away, he walked to the vicinity of the chickens.

Then he suddenly jumped out and grabbed a rooster that had just fluttered its wings into the net bag with lightning speed. Then he grabbed the neck and pulled it out. The rooster struggled hard and clucked non-stop.

Jiang Ning flicked the cock's comb twice before carrying the chicken out.

This forest area has not been cleared of weeds, and it is better in the summer.

It's so sour and refreshing when winter comes.

Covered in dust.

After shaking for a while, the earth control technique was activated.

All the dust flew away.

Jiang Ning called the workers to slaughter the chicken.

Then he changed places and went to the rabbit hole.

Prepare to catch two more rabbits by the way.

After winter, rabbits rarely come out and all hide in their holes to spend the winter. Jiang Wei's shop no longer sells stir-fried rabbits, and the family rarely eats rabbits, unless Jiang Ning goes out to catch them himself.

When we arrived at the cave, it was quite lively.

I don’t know how rabbits survive the winter in other places.

Although these rabbits on the farm hid in the caves, they did not sleep like those hibernating animals. Not only were they always active, but they were also working hard to mate and reproduce, and they gave birth to many baby rabbits.

Jiang Ning felt that rabbits were better because he didn’t have to worry about them.

And they reproduce very quickly, one litter after another.

Unlike chickens and ducks, although they are raised in the wild, they are not truly wild after all. They are so stupid that they don’t even know how to store food for the winter, so they have to be fed. Their reproduction rate is extremely slow, and none of the eggs they lay can be eaten.

I don’t know where they all went.

There is no shortage of food on the farm; the rabbits have enough stored food.

They were all well-fed, unlike the rabbit he caught in early spring last year, which was so skinny that only bones were left under the skin.

Jiang Ning walked around, caught two male rabbits fighting for mating rights, and left the cave.

Back on the ground, drive to the cafeteria.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, the chickens we had caught had already been slaughtered.

He then had the rabbit slaughtered before taking it home.

I went to Building No. 6 first and gave my mother a rabbit.

Zhang Yulan was surprised: "Can you still catch rabbits now?"

Jiang Ning said: "It is possible to catch them, but they are relatively rare. You have to be lucky to encounter them."

Zhang Yulan asked, "Are there any more? Send them over there."

Jiang Ning said: "Yes, I caught two."

Zhang Yulan then said nothing more and stayed.

Jiang Ning didn't leave in a hurry and played with his niece for a while.

When I first returned home last year, I couldn’t walk yet!

Now he is over two years old, and is at the stage where everyone hates him and everyone hates him. He can't sit still for a moment.

He rode his tricycle all over the floor, either bumping into the coffee table or the TV cabinet.

Everything that could be hidden in the house had been hidden.

Half of the flower pots were missing, either broken by the little girl or thrown away.

After he turned two, he still couldn't speak clearly.

I won’t even call you uncle.

Jiang Ning played for a while and was about to go downstairs to leave.

Suddenly I saw my sister-in-law Chen Ruhui covering her mouth and running into the bathroom.

That surprise.

I asked my mother, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yulan said: "There it is again."

Jiang Ning was startled, but then relieved: "Want to have a second child?"

Zhang Yulan nodded, and couldn't help but show happiness on her face.

Having many children and grandchildren is something that is engraved in our bones.

The conditions were not good before, so I didn’t dare to think about it.

Now that conditions are better, naturally the more children you have, the better.

Jiang Ning asked a few questions before going downstairs and leaving.

Go to Building No. 8 and go up to the third floor carrying a chicken and a rabbit.

Feng Yu hasn't finished get off work yet, and Feng Xue is embroidering.

That's right, embroidery.

There are many things to prepare for a wedding, some of which can be bought and some of which need to be made, such as a big red wedding quilt made of cotton, mandarin duck handkerchiefs, embroidered insoles, etc. These things are all part of the dowry and need to be made by hand.

Actually, you can buy it on Taobao, but it’s not fun to buy it.

Every stitch and every thread represents the accumulation of hard work and blessings.

If the mother is around, she will usually start preparing early.

My parents are gone, so my sister is the only one who can prepare for me.

Feng Xue actually had no experience and didn't know anything about these things. It was only after the wedding date was set that her aunt and uncle told her about them. Only then did she realize that she had to prepare these things. She hasn't been doing any work recently and has been preparing these things.

Jiang Ning came in and Feng Xue turned his head to look at him.

Without getting up, he just made a sign language gesture.

Jiang Ning put Nan and the rabbit in the kitchen, then went over to ask her, "Are these things not finished yet?"

Feng Xue nodded and used sign language: "Almost done."

Jiang Ning went over and sat on the sofa, picked up a big red thing, and asked, "What is this thing?"

Feng Xue took a look and made some sign language.

Jiang Ning didn't understand, so he guessed: "Handkerchief?"

Feng Xue shook her head and continued to compete.

Jiang Ning didn't understand.

Feng Xue had no choice but to put down the work in her hands and write to him on her phone: "The child's bellyband."

"Uh!"

Jiang Ning was confused: "Why do you do this?"

Feng Xue continued writing: "It's just a symbolic thing for children to use."

Jiang Ning understood and took another handkerchief to look at it.

There are mandarin ducks embroidered on it, which looks festive.

Young people nowadays don't like those cumbersome traditional ceremonies. They always think they are antiques that should be swept into the trash. Jiang Ning is no exception. He didn't have much expectations for the wedding. He just wanted to go to Australia for a vacation with Feng Yu after getting married.

But now, looking at the mandarin duck handkerchief embroidered stitch by Feng Xue, he was suddenly touched.

Traditional things are not necessarily useless.

As for the things made by Feng Xue, they are very commemorative.

I heard that some people born in the 1990s no longer wear Western-style wedding dresses when they get married. Instead, they choose traditional Chinese dresses. In order to save money, some people even ride electric motorcycles to pick up the bride instead of spending money on luxury cars to pick them up.

It’s actually quite interesting when you think about it.

Thinking back on it many years later, it actually became a wonderful story.

The current trend of comparison is indeed a bit distorted, and values ​​have been distorted.

Jiang Ning's thoughts were scattered and he had a lot of random thoughts.

After sitting for a while, I felt bored and went to the kitchen to chop the chicken.

When I was out and about, I would cook for myself if I had no tasks to do.

In the past year or so since I returned home, I have rarely done anything.

We had big plate chicken in the evening. There were a lot of broken bones in the chicken that Feng Xue chopped. It was probably because his hands were not strong enough. It was difficult to chop the bones in one go. He had to chop several times, so naturally there were a lot of broken bones.

This job still has to be done by men.

He took out an axe for chopping bones and placed a chopping board for chopping meat on the ground. Jiang Ning chopped the chicken with great precision. His eyes and hands were in sync, and he would not chop the same place again. He quickly chopped the chicken into small pieces.

No matter how big this chicken is, it must weigh at least ten kilograms.

I definitely can’t finish it in one meal, it’ll take at least four meals.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue are just the same when it comes to eating meat, and even together they are not as good as Jiang Ning alone.

Divide one third of it and put it in a bowl, divide the rest into three portions, put them separately in plastic bags, and then freeze them in the refrigerator. This way, when you eat it later, you don’t have to take out all of it, just take out one portion to thaw.

Otherwise, put them all together and freeze them, and then take them all out to thaw when you want to eat them.

Then the rest has to be refrozen, which is not only troublesome but also difficult to preserve.

After processing the chicken, I chopped up the rabbit.

Chop it all into pieces, divide it into thirds and freeze it in the refrigerator.

In the meantime, Feng Xue came to see him and was very impressed with his willingness to take the initiative to share the housework. However, she couldn't speak, so she used some sign language. As a result, Jiang Ning didn't understand and thought Feng Xue asked him to chop the meat into smaller pieces, so he chopped it smaller.

After chopping the rabbit, it’s almost time.

Feng Xue cleared the things on the coffee table and prepared to cook.

Jiang Ning had nothing to do, so he went to lie down on the sofa.

I watched some short videos and found them boring.

I remembered that my cousin Zhang Yulong was assigned to work in a village in the countryside and I hadn't seen him for a while, so I called him to ask about him.

A batch of civil servants were recruited in October with many vacancies. My cousin Zhang Yulong passed the exam successfully, but was demoted to a township, and not even in a town. He was sent to a village, and the conditions there were said to be poor.

We live in a mud house and have to cook our own meals.

There is no heating, so we set up a stove and burn coal to keep warm.

Jiang Ning had never seen it before, so he didn't know what it looked like.

The call was answered quickly.

Zhang Yulong said weakly: "Brother."

Jiang Ning asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Yulong said, "Cook."

Jiang Ning asked, "I heard from my uncle that you cook every time you call, so why don't the other two cook?"

Zhang Yulong said: "They don't know how to do that."

Jiang Ning cursed, "Bullshit, what era is this? How can there still be men who can't cook? The lazy donkey doesn't pull the mill because there are other donkeys pulling. Don't be too honest. Push when you should push, and quarrel when you should quarrel. Don't be afraid of falling out with others. Don't you know the truth that kind people are bullied and kind horses are ridden?"

Zhang Yulong sighed.

Jiang Ning was too tired to complain. This cousin of his was so honest that there was nothing to say.

No one dared to bully him on the farm.

When he arrived at the company, others would not take care of him just because his cousin was the boss of Xianling Farm. He had to work harder if he didn't push it. With such a personality, Jiang Ning didn't dare to think about how he could survive in the company.

After chatting for a few words and just about to hang up the phone, there was a sudden bang in the kitchen.

It gave him a fright.
