60s: I have a store

Chapter 430 Children are easily satisfied

Then it dived into the village mill, and the mill was suddenly filled with dust, as if a small sandstorm had occurred.

A bag of freshly ground flour was knocked over by it, and the white flour scattered all over the ground like snowflakes in winter, instantly mixing with the dust.

After seeing this scene, the aunts were stunned and then reacted.

"God damn it, this stinky pig seems to be too proud to live. I have to teach him a lesson today."

If I were to kill them, I definitely wouldn’t dare to. After all, most of the pigs in the village are used to complete tasks, so they cannot be killed.

Then he continued to join the "battle", with a feeling that he would not give up until he caught the pig.

The crowd chased and blocked the pig. After a lot of trouble, their throats were shouting until their throats were about to smoke and their legs were weak from running, they finally blocked the pig by the small river at the entrance of the village.

At this time, the pig was so tired that it was panting heavily, with its tongue hanging at the corner of its mouth. The originally white foam on its body was covered with dust and it was extremely dirty, like a monster that had rolled out of the mud.

Everyone was exhausted and out of breath. They were all covered in dirt and their clothes were covered with dust and pig hair. They looked in a miserable state.

Zhou Mingcheng walked forward, bent down to pick up the hemp rope on the ground, tied the pig again, looked at the chaos in front of him, and shook his head helplessly: "Today's bath is really a mess, there is no peace and quiet."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but there was nothing they could do. Life had to go on and the pig had to be washed.

After struggling for quite a while, with everyone's concerted efforts and perseverance, the pig was finally washed.

The pigs that were originally black and dirty to the point of disgusting now have shiny fur and a healthy luster in the sun, as if they had put on a brand new set of gorgeous clothes.

Although the process was messy and everyone was exhausted, looking at the clean pigs, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment.

But when I thought of the flour that had just been spilled, I suddenly felt extremely heartbroken.

He immediately went back and whipped him twice, just to vent his anger. He would have felt bad if he didn't whip him. Food was so precious now, and a bag of it was wasted. A bag weighed at least ten pounds.

You have to know that nowadays, more than ten kilograms of flour are enough to marry one or two wives. You can imagine how precious it is.

If the pigs were not raised in the village, there would not be many left after completing the task, and we would definitely be able to eat pork today.

Although Zhoujiazhuang is not short of food now, it does not mean that food can be wasted. This is absolutely not allowed in Zhoujiazhuang.

After school in the village in the afternoon, the sun shines on the path in Zhoujiazhuang, creating a golden color.

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, a group of children were gathered together, it was very lively, it turned out that they were fighting crickets.

Zhou Yimin passed by and found it very interesting. Such scenes were rare in later generations and he was immediately attracted to it.

He walked aside. Perhaps the child was too focused and did not notice Zhou Yimin.

Lai Fu was seen holding a worn-out pottery jar carefully in his hands. The surface of the jar was covered with scratches from years, as if carrying the memories of countless cricket fights.

There was a sense of pride in his eyes, as if he was holding a rare treasure. He gently placed the pottery jar on the ground, muttering to himself: "My 'Black General' is very powerful. I will definitely win today!"

The friends next to him looked at him with curiosity and a bit of dissatisfaction.

On the other side, Lai Cai was not to be outdone. He took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and shook it gently. The anxious chirping of crickets came out from it, as if they were cheering for the upcoming battle.

Lai Cai grinned, revealing two front teeth with a missing corner, and said: "Humph, I, the 'Green Overlord', have never been afraid of anyone!" After that, he slowly opened the bamboo tube, and an emerald green cricket jumped out, with its antennae raised high, full of energy.

The children quickly built a simple "fighting arena" on the ground and drew boundaries in the soil with small branches.

Lai Fu was the first to release the "Black General" into the fighting arena. As soon as the black cricket landed, it spread its wings, made a "ho ho" sound, and paced quickly in the arena as if in demonstration. Its two hind legs were strong and powerful, as if it was ready to jump up and attack at any time.

Lai Cai saw this and hurriedly put "Green Overlord" into the fighting arena.

As soon as "Green Overlord" entered the scene, he confronted "Black General". The antennae of the two crickets touched each other, testing each other's strength, and the air was filled with tension.

Suddenly, the "Black General" leaped forward, opened its jaws, and bit the "Green Overlord". The "Green Overlord" was not to be outdone, dodged the attack, and then waved its tentacles to fight back.

For a moment, the dust was flying in the arena, and the two crickets were fighting back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was the winner. The children stared at the arena with their eyes wide open, their mouths slightly open, not daring to breathe, for fear of missing any exciting moment.

Occasionally, a cricket would jump out of bounds, and a child would quickly catch it with his hands, then gently push it back into the arena, muttering, "Don't run away, the winner hasn't been decided yet!"

Among the children watching, there was one called Erdan, who was the most impatient and kept jumping around to cheer for the "Black General".

His face turned red as he shouted, "General Black, bite it, bite it quickly!"

After a while, he stamped his feet anxiously, exclaiming at the clever dodge of "Green Overlord": "Oh, this move is amazing!"

In his hand, he was holding a handful of corn kernels that he had secretly brought from home, ready to give as a reward to the final winner.

As the battle became more intense, "Black General" seemed to be gradually running out of strength and his movements became slow.

The "Green Overlord" seized the opportunity, exerted his strength suddenly, jumped up, pressed the "Black General" under him, and bit one of the opponent's hind legs with his big jaws.

"Black General" struggled desperately but couldn't break free and could only make weak cries.

"We won, we won!" Lai Cai jumped three feet high with excitement, his face filled with the joy of victory. The other children also applauded and cheered. Although they felt regretful, their eyes were more filled with anticipation for the next cricket fight.

Although the "Black General" that Goudan supported lost, he still kept his promise and threw corn kernels to the "Green Overlord", muttering: "You are awesome, these are for you to eat."

Although there are not many, only a dozen or so.

These corns were brought by Lai Fu and Lai Cai, who secretly took them from home.

Children from other families did not dare to take out food secretly. If the adults at home found out, they would definitely be beaten and taught a lesson.

Apart from Zhou Yimin's family, the families of the two brothers Lai Fu and Lai Cai lived the best in the village. They could go to Zhou Yimin's family from time to time to improve their meals.

This is a treatment that no one else in the village has, because they are relatives.

This cricket fight filled the evening of Zhoujiazhuang with laughter and joy. The children's innocence and joy also added a touch of color to these difficult times.

When Zhou Yimin saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile knowingly. Children are indeed good. They can play with these things. Then he took out a handful of candies from his pocket.

"Share it among yourselves."

After saying that, he stuffed the candy into Lai Fu's hand and asked Lai Fu to distribute it to the children present.
