The next day, when the brigade informed them to come over to share the meat, Lu Boxing got dressed and went.
Su Mo had too few work points and was not qualified to share the meat. When Lu Boxing arrived, he just watched from the sidelines.
There were a lot of people gathered around the brigade headquarters at this moment. They were all very surprised to see Lu Boming coming and came to greet them one after another.
After the meat is divided into equal portions, the rest can be sold to the members. People waiting to buy meat all asked Lu Boming to choose first.
Since Lu Boming had already made up his mind to help Su Mo buy meat, he was not willing to give in.
During the Chinese New Year this year, we not only killed 6 New Year pigs, but also 6 sheep. All of the New Year pigs were first-class pigs weighing about 160 kilograms, so there was a lot of meat left.
Lu Boming ordered 5 kilograms of pork, 2 kilograms of mutton, and 4 kilograms of pork ribs, which cost a total of seven yuan and 12 cents.
After paying the money, Lu Boxing picked up his things and was ready to go back.
Lu Baoguo came over quickly, stopped him and said, "Old party secretary, please remember to come back later to eat the butchered vegetables."
This is the tradition of Lujia Village. Every year when the New Year pig is killed, part of the pig's offal and pork will be used to cook pig-killing vegetables and feed them to the lonely elderly people in the village or the elderly and children from poor families.
Let them also eat meat during the Chinese New Year.
Of course, there is no restriction on how special it is. As long as you are an old person or a child, as long as you are not particularly greedy, as long as you ask for it, the cook will give you a spoonful or two of it.
This tradition was passed down from when the Lu family was a squire. In the past, the Lu family paid for it, but now it is done by the brigade.
"Okay, I'll come over in a moment." Lu Boming did not refuse.
He hasn't chatted with the big guys for a long time, so he just wants to talk later. Now that his body and bones are healed, he can contribute to the team again.
He heard from Xiao Mo that he wanted to experiment with setting up a vegetable team in the brigade to supply vegetables to the canteen and the troops.
They old guys can't do heavy work anymore, but they can still grow vegetables. At that time, he will be the leader of this group, organize these old people, and get this thing started.
By then, if this matter is completed, it can generate income for the brigade; otherwise, it will not cause much loss to the brigade.

On February 13th, Sunday, Lu Changzheng finally had a day off after returning from self-transfer.
The New Year is coming soon, and he is going to accompany his wife to the city to buy some New Year goods.
Su Mo wrapped the dried wild ginseng and prepared to go and wish Geng Changqing a good year.
"This wild ginseng is what I found when I came back from your camp last time." Su Mo told Lu Changzheng, lest the two people's different stories would be exposed.
The two of them first went to Geng Changqing's dormitory in the county town. No one was there. Then they went to the county government. Geng Changqing was indeed working overtime.
Seeing Su Mo, Geng Changqing immediately praised the project application form she had made. This girl really impressed him more and more.
By popularizing this project list, we can eliminate as many projects that we need to start as soon as our brains get excited, and we can save a lot of financial funds.
There is absolutely no need to start projects that cannot even be written clearly.
Su Mo was very embarrassed to be told by Geng Changqing. This was learned from the experience of many later generations, and she didn't dare to take credit.
"Uncle Geng, I saw this in the book. My uncle and his friends often use it this way." Su Mo could only push it abroad. This project application form was indeed passed on by a foreign company at the beginning.
"Is your English very good?" Geng Changqing asked. He has never studied abroad, and he also studied Russian in college.
"It's okay. Dad taught me before and I read a lot of books."
"Don't waste it. Review more in private." Geng Changqing reminded that he had heard some rumors from the old leader and the situation might be changing.
"Yes." Su Mo nodded, guessing that Geng Changqing had received the news.
"Uncle Geng, this is my New Year's gift to you." Su Mo carefully took out the wrapped wild ginseng from her satchel.
Geng Changqing took it, opened it, and saw that it was wild ginseng. It looked quite old, his pupils shrank, and he asked in surprise: "Where did you get the wild ginseng?"
"Last week I went to the camp with Long March, and I accidentally discovered it on the way back."
Geng Changqing:......
He didn't even know what to say.
Is this girl Bu Kaishan's biological daughter? Why do you send all the good things to her?
Geng Changqing looked at it, wrapped the wild ginseng, and handed it back to Su Mo, "Just keep it if you like."
This girl is going to have a baby in a while, so she should keep this thing for herself, so he can rest assured.
Su Mo waved her hand, "No, I still have some."
…
Geng Changqing's outstretched hand quietly retracted it and put the wild ginseng away.
The chosen one, no need to be polite.
It just so happened that the old leader was getting old and not in good health. He was going to Beijing on business after the new year, so he happened to take it to someone else.
When leaving, Lu Changzheng invited Geng Changqing to celebrate the New Year together, "Secretary Geng, on New Year's Eve, we will have a reunion dinner at home after get off work."
"Okay." Geng Changqing did not refuse. Since he had relatives here, he naturally went with them. When the time comes, take the time to visit Brother Qian and the others.
Lu Changzheng drove Su Mo directly to the city. The couple went to the department store first and bought a hat for Lu Boming and Lu Qing'an each, and a pair of shoes for Li Yuee, spending a total of 11 yuan.
Lu Changzheng originally wanted to buy clothes for Su Mo, but the original owner brought a lot of clothes, and his aunt brought so much cloth. Li Yue'e made another one for her a few days ago. She really didn't lack clothes. So I didn’t buy it.
The two went to the non-staple food market and bought some sausages, bacon and dry goods, as well as a few kilograms of fresh meat, and asked Lu Changzheng to take it to the cowshed for his parents to celebrate the New Year.
The couple strolled around for a while and found nothing to buy, so they went home.
On the way back, Su Mo said to Lu Changzheng: "There are two wild boars in my space. Can you find a place to kill them and cut the meat into pieces. I will take my space and eat them slowly."
Lu Changzheng was also shocked. His wife was so powerful that she could even kill a wild boar.
"Daughter-in-law, the wild boar is very ferocious. Next time you see it, run away quickly and take care of yourself. We don't lack the meat."
Although his wife is a superpower, her ability does not seem to be very strong in combat.
"I know. The wild boar was already dead when I saw it. I picked it up casually."
"How did it die? Can you still eat it?" These dead wild boars cannot be picked up casually. If they eat any poisonous weeds or the like, they will all be put down by then.
"It's edible. I picked it up right after it died. I saw it was bleeding a lot. I guess it was shot."
Lu Changzheng secretly mourned for the hunting militia, and finally managed to catch a prey, which was picked up by his wife.
Lu Changzheng was a bit confused as to where to kill him. If he killed it at home, the smell of wild boar blood was so strong that anyone who came or passed by would be able to smell it.
It's better to find a chance to go to the mountain, drain the blood, and just skin it. While it's still snowing, once the snow is buried, there will be no trace left.
"Daughter-in-law, after the new year, I will find an opportunity to go to the mountains to kill."
Su Mo nodded, as she happened to think so too.
