When Jia Kun returned, his father was very busy. He personally went to Zhaodong to do the New Year's Eve and bought a lot of delicious food for the family. Most of them were Jia Kun's favorite food. Jia Kun's mother was the same. She was busy at home. Seeing that it was almost the eve of the new year, she fed the pig that was going to be killed until it was fat and waited until this time to kill it.
Jia Kun remembered that he was a week away from his 30th birthday. Jia Kun's father found Uncle Chi from the east courtyard who was in charge of slaughtering pigs, as well as his relatives and friends who were in charge of catching pigs. Not long after daybreak, Jia Kun's mother summoned them all and told them to get up early. The butcher would be here soon. They hurriedly got up and waited in the house. In a short while, Uncle Chi arrived. He was wearing an apron around his waist. It was an ordinary apron. It was so oily that it shone brightly. Under the sunlight, it looked like it was going to hurt someone's eyes. Next was Old Peng's second uncle and the strong Wang Biao. When they were all here, Jia Kun's father chased the pig into the yard. Wang Biao, who was behind the pig, took a step forward and grabbed the pig's hind legs as if he was cold. He flipped the pig over with force. As the pig was too fat and clumsy, it was flipped over in an instant. The others came up together. Old Peng and Second Uncle took a rope and tied up the front and back hooves. Finally, Jia Kun's father found a big stick and inserted it into the middle of the tied front and back hooves. Two people on both sides lifted it up and carried it onto the cooking stove outside. They held down the pig's head and pushed it out of the pot. Two people held it down. Uncle Chi picked up the butcher's knife and aimed at the pig's throat. He stabbed it, and the pig immediately howled. Then, the blood splashed into the basin. As the blood flowed, the pig's cry became weaker and weaker. It stopped crying until the blood was gone.
Second Uncle Old Chi skillfully used a ladle to pour boiling hot water on the pig's body. He then used the ladle to carry the pig's hair. In a short while, a fat white striped pig was presented in front of him. They carried the white-striped pig to the table in the inner room and dissected it. At this time, even some children were watching the show. Soon, the whole pig was dissected into pieces. Then, the pork was stewed and the blood sausage was poured. Then, the whole family, relatives and friends ate the pig-killing dishes together. It was a lively day. Finally, if anyone was invited, they would serve the pig-killing dishes to show their sincerity.
Slaughtering pigs was the biggest happy event in the countryside during the new year. It was also the biggest happy event when relatives returned home. Therefore, Jia Kun's father had already told her mother to feed this pig well so that they could kill it when Fourth Sister and the others came back for the new year. It was really the wish of his family, and it had finally come true on this day.
During this period, his father bought some new year paintings, couplets, and couplets. The firecrackers were indispensable, and Jia Kun's father also bought a lot. Especially on New Year's Day, Jia Kun's father brought his sisters at home to pray for peace. He led them to kowtow a few times and bow a few times. He lit incense and burned paper. Then, he set off firecrackers and prayed for a year of peace and good weather.
After setting off the firecrackers outside, they returned to their rooms. Before eating dumplings, they had to wash their faces. Then, the younger ones kowtowed to the older ones to express their filial piety.
Jia Kun also kowtowed to his parents and received red packets from them.
That night, there was no television at that time. There was only a radio. It was also fashionable to listen to the radio during the New Year in the countryside. The whole family sat around the radio and listened to Central TV's Spring Festival Gala. It was the best form of intoxication.
Jia Kun remembered that her mother loved to listen to Shi Shengjie and Jiang Kun's crosstalk, as well as some songs and the Two-people Rotation.
A year passed really quickly.
