161 Inviting Someone to Drink Pork Soup

The two fat pigs that had already been killed were placed on long stools in the courtyard.

Li Xiaoran saw it as soon as she stepped into the courtyard. It was difficult not to see it.

“Why did you buy two pigs, and they were already killed?” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and asked.

“Didn’t you say so? It’s almost the new year, so we’re going to make cured meat and sausages. I bought the pork for you!” Luo Cheng replied.

“But why did you kill the pig?” Li Xiaoran asked in amus.e.m.e.nt.

“Should I have brought them back alive?” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran in confusion and replied.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she was immediately amused.

“Husband, could it be that you haven’t killed pigs before in the past?”

Luo Cheng shook his head.

Now, Li Xiaoran finally understood.

“During the new year, we have to kill pigs, drink pork soup, and make cured meat sausages. We have to invite our relatives, friends, and villagers over to help kill the pigs in our own home. After killing the pigs, we have to gather everyone to sit together and drink pork soup. It’s equivalent to a year of reunion. After that, we have to split the pork. The meat that is made of cured meat will be sliced and marinated. The meat that is made of sausages will be cut into pieces and seasoned before being poured into the pig intestines. After that, it will be dried and smoked with cypress trees. This is the way to celebrate!” Li Xiaoran said patiently.

“If you kill the pig first, it’ll ruin the fun. Besides, the pig blood you received when you killed the pig is also good stuff. The food made from pig blood is also very delicious. Sigh, what a pity!” At this point, Li Xiaoran sighed.

“Then why don’t I buy another pig to kill?” Luo Cheng suggested.

“Don’t listen to Xiaoran. You’ve already brought back the pork, so why kill pigs?! Actually, this is good too. It saves us some trouble. However, who in our group knows how to split pork? We have to find a butcher to split the pork!” Zhao Xiu was shocked when she heard her son-in-law’s words and quickly ran out to stop him.

These two pigs were enough for them. It would be too much to buy another pig to kill. It would be too eye-catching.

Li Shun thought of something and said, “Why don’t we call Guan Dongshan to split the pork?! We can call their family over for a gathering! It’s been a long time since our families sat together and talked!”

Zhao Xiu’s heart skipped a beat, but she looked at her daughter and son-in-law.

After all, Guan Dongshan and He Hui still had some trouble. She wondered if calling them over would cause trouble for her daughter and son-in-law.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “In that case, Xiaoran and I will invite someone over! We can also call Little Huzi and his grandma over. We can have a good gathering today!”

“Then I’ll call Little Huzi!” Li Xiaoqing immediately took the initiative to invite Little Huzi and his grandma over.

“Alright, let Xiao Qing invite Little Huzi!” Li Xiaoran looked at her sister’s happy expression and said with a smile.

Just like that, everyone got to work.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng went to invite Guan Dongshan’s family, Li Xiaoqing went to invite Little Huzi’s family, and Luo Ziyang continued to watch those people outside dig fruit trees.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu quickly prepared everything they needed. When Guan Dongshan arrived, they could cut the meat directly.

On the way to Guan Dongshan’s house, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want to send a message to Luo Han too?! After all, it’s almost the new year. Invite him over for a reunion meal!”

“Will we make it if we call him now?” Luo Cheng asked with raised eyebrows.

“Why not? If it’s a reunion dinner, it’s usually at night. If we ask someone to invite him now, Luo Han can still make it in time for the reunion dinner at night!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.

“I see! Then I’ll send someone to call him!” As he spoke, Luo Cheng called out the secret guard and instructed him.

After the secret guard left, Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran.

“You don’t seem surprised!”

“What’s there to be surprised about? From the beginning, I felt that you were different from us. Besides, no matter what your ident.i.ty is, you’re still you, so it doesn’t matter if I know about it or not.” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and said, “To me, as long as you’re my husband, treat me and my family well, that’s enough!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately smiled.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be good to you and your family!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and started talking about other things.

“Do you think those people who were secretly monitoring the Guan family are still around?”

“No, they’ve all left!” Luo Cheng replied.

“Huh? When did this happen?” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in surprise.

“On the day Guan Dongshan returned, those people disappeared! I’m thinking that on the one hand, those people might be protecting He Hui’s safety, and on the other hand, they might have met her before!” Luo Cheng voiced his guess.

“In that case, my parents can interact with Aunt Hui and the others normally in the future?” Li Xiaoran said happily.

“If I’m not mistaken, that should be the case!” Luo Cheng nodded.

“That’s great! Although my parents have some good relationships in the village, there are very few friends who can really help. If we can interact with Aunt Hui’s family normally, I believe my parents will be very happy too!” Li Xiaoran said happily, “Actually, it’s better to have friends! We don’t need too many. Just one or two is enough!”

Luo Cheng thought of his own matters and nodded. “You’re right. One or two are enough!”

As he spoke, Luo Cheng thought of something and asked, “Then when will you have friends?”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and smiled.

“I will! Just because there aren’t any now doesn’t mean there won’t be any in the future! I’m sure I’ll find friends who like me!”

Luo Cheng did not expect that Li Xiaoran would really make very good friends in the future.

This made him quite resentful towards Li Xiaoran’s friends!

These people always occupied his wife’s time, causing him and his wife to have fewer time to spend together!

When Guan Dongshan heard that Li Shun had invited them to Luo Cheng’s house to split the pork for a reunion meal, he readily agreed.

After bringing the tools for killing the pigs, Guan Dongshan brought his wife and child to the Luo family’s house with Luo Cheng.

When Luo Cheng brought his men back, he heard Little Huzi’s cheerful shout from afar.

“They’re here. Brother Luo Cheng is back with them!”

When Li Shun saw Guan Dongshan, he quickly went forward to welcome him.

“Hahaha, Brother Guan, it’s great that you’re here! Hurry up. Cut the pig heads for us!”

“Leave this to me! The first thing I did when I came back was to take this out and grind it. It came in handy today!” Guan Dongshan said with a hearty smile.
