Chapter 442
After Si Nian finished speaking, someone over there called her for help.She didn't pay attention to the colorful expressions on the two women's faces and walked over.
The two waited for quite a while before they finally snapped out of it.
They felt Si Nian was just bragging.
"She's a student at Jing University? Why do I find that so hard to believe?"
"Yeah, her kids are already so big."
"And that husband of hers, that's even more exaggerated. A pig farm owner and a company manager? He looks like a rough man to me, how could he do that kind of brain work."
"Exactly, I think she just makes things up as she goes."
"Wang family, the Wang family's TV is here, come out and help move it."
Someone shouted outside.
The two women couldn't be bothered to think further and hurriedly said, "Coming."
"Mom, the TV we bought for you has arrived, call someone over to help."
Mother Wang nodded quickly and called her two sons-in-law over to help.
As it turned out, the two men didn't have much strength, and ultimately it was the deliverymen who helped carry it in.
Seeing the Wang family slaughtering a pig, the deliveryman let out an "Oyo": "Slaughtering a pig, huh? How lively."
Mother Wang smiled and invited him to stay for a meal, "You've worked really hard, sir, delivering our TV even in such heavy snow."
"Of course, if the roads hadn't been closed in the morning, it would have been delivered much earlier. But we can only deliver within the city, we can't go anywhere outside."
The man wrote up the receipt and had them sign it. His gaze swept across the courtyard, and suddenly noticing something, his eyes fixed. He then uncertainly rubbed his eyes, and after making sure he hadn't seen wrong, he cried out in astonishment, "President Zhou, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Yueshen was currently scraping hair off the pig. Hearing the voice, he turned his head to look over.
He saw that it was exactly the deliveryman from his company.
He paused for a moment.
He handed the scraper in his hand to his eagerly watching youngest son on the side, stood up, and said, "You haven't rested yet?"
The man quickly smiled apologetically and said, "The boss arranged it, saying to try and deliver all the goods that can be delivered within the city. Once we finish delivering today, we can rest. Oh my, I didn't expect to run into you here, President Zhou. Do you live around here too?"
After saying that, he immediately offered a cigarette to Zhou Yueshen.
Zhou Yueshen blocked it and didn't take it: "My wife is pregnant, I've quit smoking."
The man immediately withdrew it in embarrassment, "Look at me, I'm really sorry, President Zhou."
"It's fine," Zhou Yueshen said. "Go on with your work, and head home early to rest when you're done."
"Aye~" the man responded sweetly. Who said their President Zhou was unapproachable and scary as hell? He used to be terrified whenever he ran into him, but now that they actually spoke, he realized President Zhou wasn't fierce at all. He was actually quite nice. Just look, running such a huge company, yet here he is helping people slaughter pigs.
Bosses with such a human touch were rare nowadays.
After sending the man off, Zhou Yueshen turned back to continue his work.
The two Wang sisters were already standing there dumbfounded.
He... he really was a boss...
Thinking about how they had just mocked pig slaughterers in front of Si Nian as nothing special, and not comparable to their men who worked in state units.
The two sisters wished they could dig a hole and hide in it.
Zhou Yueshen turned his head. A group of kids was surrounding his youngest son, lining up to learn how to scrape pig hair.
Second Child scraped while teaching, "I have experience with this. I used to watch my dad scrape pig hair all the time. It doesn't matter if you can't scrape it off; just scald it with boiling water, and it comes right off. Isn't it fun?"
Everyone opened their mouths in a "Wow" expression, looking at him with admiration and envy.
"Zhou Zehan, can you let me try too?"
"I really want to scrape pig hair too."
Zhou Yueshen's mouth twitched. He walked over, lifted his son off the ground, and seeing that he was covered in a smelly odor and his sleeves were wet, frowned and said, "Go sit by the fire. If you catch a cold later, your mom will be angry."
Second Child reluctantly returned the scraper.
"Second brother is stinky." Yaoyao saw him come back smelling awful and waved her hand in front of her nose in disgust.
Zhou Zehan pinched his dripping wet sleeve and secretly peeked at Si Nian. Seeing that she was busy helping and hadn't noticed him, he made a "shh" gesture to his sister.
A firewood fire was burning in the courtyard, and a group of people was gathered around it to keep warm.
It wasn't long before he was dried off.
At this moment, someone shouted, "Opening the belly~"
Zhou Zehan immediately squeezed over with a group of kids.
He looked proudly as his dad sliced open the pig's belly with a knife, constantly telling the people around him, "Look, that's my dad. My dad can do anything."
Everyone looked at him with envy.
Zhou Yueshen was fast. After cleaning out the organs inside the pig's belly, he gripped the cleaver and dismantled the whole pig in a few swift strokes.
Every piece of meat was cut to the same size, and the ribs and trotters were all portioned perfectly.
Aunt Wang couldn't stop smiling at the sight.
He was so fast that before others had even finished cleaning, he had already finished chopping.
Si Nian helped with the cooking, and everyone shared a piping hot meal of fresh pork dishes.
When they finished, it was only twelve noon.
Aunt Wang stuffed a red envelope into her hands and gave her a piece of meat to take home.
Si Nian originally didn't want to accept it, but it was hard to refuse such great hospitality, so she eventually carried it home.
Zhou Yueshen didn't get his clothes dirty, but Second Child smelled entirely of raw meat.
The smell of black pigs was particularly strong. Ever since Si Nian got pregnant, her sense of smell had become very sensitive, making it hard not to notice.
Second Child thought he would be fine once his clothes dried by the fire, but when he raised his arm, there were still water stains, and it stank horribly.
Si Nian didn't blame him, knowing he enjoyed it. Since she was carrying things anyway and it wasn't convenient to go shopping, they went home first to change his clothes before the family set out to buy new ones.
At the mention of buying new clothes, the children grew excited.
Their current thick clothes were all brought over from their old hometown.
The temperature in their hometown wasn't as cold as it was here. Although these clothes weren't thin, they definitely couldn't withstand the temperatures here.
Second Child skipped and ran ahead. Having participated in the pig slaughter today, he was very thrilled. "Mom, Mom, are we going to slaughter a pig at our house this year?"
He asked with some anticipation.
No matter how fun it was at someone else's house, it couldn't compare to doing it at their own.
The last time their family slaughtered a pig was when Mom and Dad got married. At that time, he, Shitou, and a group of others skewed meat and roasted it to eat, and it was so delicious.
But this was someone else's house, and he was too embarrassed to ask for any.
So he felt it was a real pity.
Si Nian shook her head and said, "We won't slaughter one this year. We wouldn't be able to finish it."
The main reason was that smoking meat here was too troublesome, and a whole pig was just too much; they definitely wouldn't be able to finish it.
It would be fine to just buy some outside for the New Year.
Seeing the look of pure disappointment written all over Zhou Zehan's face, she added, "Wait until next New Year when we go back home, then we'll slaughter a pig."
"Really?"
Second Child asked expectantly.
"If you don't believe me, ask your dad."
"Dad, Dad, are we going to slaughter a pig next year?"
Zhou Yueshen gave a slight nod. "Yes."
"Yay, that's great~"
Amidst his cheerful laughter, the family arrived at the department store.
It wasn't cold inside the store, and because the New Year was approaching, it was very crowded.
Zhou Yueshen protectively shielded Si Nian and told the children to stay close.
The New Year period was when human traffickers were at their most rampant.
Si Nian took them to try on a few sets of down jackets. The down jackets were light, thin, yet warm, and the kids all really liked them.
