The System’s New Year’s Money (1)
Jiang Xiaoman cried miserably.
She sat on the door threshold, looking at Mrs. Flower’s body and the pigpen where it once lived. She was very sad, and stayed there wiping her tears over and over again.
Jiang Xing brought her a piece of charsiu1.
It had a very beautiful color due to soy sauce and burnt caramel, it looked very delicious and made people salivate.
The charsiu was made with Mrs. Flower’s meat.
Jiang Xing said, “For pigs, the best destiny for them is to eat when alive, and to be eaten when dead. If you eat it happily, Mrs. Flower would also have died satisfied.”
Jiang Xiaoman sobbed and said in a low voice, “That’s nonsense.”
“Whether it’s nonsense or not, you will know when you eat it. You can cry when it’s time to cry, but you also have to eat when it’s time to eat.”
Jiang Xiaoman followed his words. She lowered her head and took a bite. She chewed a few times, then her mouth flattened.
“It’s not delicious at all!” Jiang Xiaoman instantly felt that Mrs. Flower had died in vain even more, and cried even louder.
Of course it didn’t taste good.
An old sow’s meat was not as tender as a piglet, and it was hard to chew. It didn’t taste good because the meat was too chewy.
Jiang Xing didn’t enjoy eating it either.
If it was up to him, he would let it die naturally and bury it. But his mother was still very frugal and thrifty even though they were already more prosperous now. Mrs. Flower had to be eaten.
Old folks really appreciated food and would never waste them. He could only close his eyes and continue chewing.
Jiang Xing sighed. Xiaoman didn’t want to eat the charsiu, so he had to eat it.
She was so tired from crying, and soon fell asleep.
Even in her sleep, she was still crying with all her strength. Her eyes and nose were red from all the crying, and she looked very miserable.
Jiang Xing picked her up and put her on the bed.
Their ancestral house had been unoccupied for a while; the bed and mattress emitted a musty smell.
Jiang Xing wiped down the bed perfunctorily and placed her on it, then covered her with a small blanket.
Half a pig was still a large amount of meat, and the three people in their family couldn’t finish it. Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, chop chop, Jiang Xing cut half of it away and placed it in a basket to send to Teacher Tang.
This year, he could finally drive there directly. He didn’t have to carry the basket all the way there himself.
Jiang Xing and Yu Wencheng had a good relationship. Over the past year, he often borrowed a car from the mine and made a rough and simple road that could accommodate a car.
The road was very wide. It was easy to traverse and very convenient.
Now, Jiang Xing had a very good reputation here. Everyone said that he was someone who returns favors and doesn’t forget about his roots.
All the old folks always praised him whenever he was mentioned.
No one would’ve thought that back then, they would shake their head at this rascal; right now, he had already found success.
The Heavens really played tricks on human lives.
When Xiaoman woke up, Jiang Xing had already prepared everything.
He pulled her up and said, “Let’s go to Teacher Tang.”
Jiang Xiaoman heard that and spun around in place a few times worriedly.
They were going to see Teacher Tang now? But she had just been crying! Was her nose still red? Was her eyes still swollen?
Wuu wuu wuu, why didn’t he say so earlier!
Jiang Xiaoman was unhappy. But she still had to visit Teacher Tang.
With a heavy heart, she stuffed the homework and textbooks she had prepared, as well as the little red flowers she had brought into her school bag. She wanted to take them all with her to show to Teacher Tang.
Teacher Tang was not surprised that they came.
Jiang Xiaoman showed him her treasures, taking out her little red flowers one by one. Teacher Tang was also very cooperative and praised her with a grateful look, “Xiaoman is really amazing. In the future, you must continue working hard…”
The little one grew up very fast. He felt that it hadn’t been long since the last time he saw her, but she had already grown so big.
