"Oh, that's it." Xiao An nodded. The cattle on the pasture are not only used to supply food to the restaurant, but can also be sold for farming.
No matter which one it is, Xiao An feels that it is cruel to cattle.
"If I were a cow, I would rather be sold to a restaurant early than be bought and farmed until I am half dead from exhaustion."
With her mother, Xiao An can say whatever she thinks in her heart.
Mrs. Sun was amused by his childish words: "If you sell them to farm, you can at least live for a few more years. There is a saying that it is better to live in vain than to die."
Xiao An curled his lips, "But until the end of your life, you will work hard for your master's family as a cow and a horse, and when you can't plow the fields, you won't still be sold to a restaurant to kill the meat and put it on the table?"
Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment. Why does this child have so many wrong ideas? Having said that...it makes sense!
"Hey, what can we do even if this is the case? Animals are eaten by humans, everyone says so..."
Xiao An shook his head, "That's just an excuse those greedy people make for themselves. Anyway, in my opinion, among the several animals that are closely related to us in this world, there are the old cows who plow the fields, the old dogs who watch the house, and the crotch dogs. War horses, these things must not be slaughtered for food!"
Hey, when it comes to this, Xiao An has to admire his brother-in-law and sister.
Their family has had many horses since the beginning of the transportation team. The old horses that have been eliminated over the years have been placed in stables by my sister and brother-in-law to provide them with a good life. Because they used to travel all over the country to escort goods, they have reached the end of their lives. In the end, they should be allowed to die, and finally buried.
This is respect for life.
But Xiao An didn't want to argue with Mr. Sun, and there was no need. All he could do was do his best to be kind to the animals that appeared in his life and accompanied him.
When Xiao An fell into a faint melancholy over the fate of those cows, there was a different scene in the Luo family dining hall across the wall.
The two children, who had returned home after morning exercise, had taken a shower and changed clothes, were sitting at the table.
Luo Baobao was next to Blacksmith Luo, and Chen'er was accompanying Tuoba Xian. Liu Xueyun went to the fourth room early in the morning, so at this moment Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian were carrying cages of food back and forth excitedly. Between the kitchen and the dining hall.
Chen'er wanted to get up several times to help Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian, but was stopped by Luo Baobao.
"Brother, my mother understands what you mean, but we are not trying to be lazy right now. In fact, you should know our mother's temperament. This stage must be left to her to perform. From kneading the dough last night to steaming the noodles this morning, In my mother's own words, she took ninety-nine steps out of a hundred, and this last step cannot be ruined because of us."
"So, we'd better listen to her and just sit and wait for her and grandma to move all the things over."
Hearing Luo Baobao's old-fashioned tone, Chen'er wanted to laugh a little, but he still did as he was told.
Baby Luo had no intention to talk to Chen'er, because as more and more bamboo steamers were placed on the table, the fragrance became more and more sultry, and Baby Luo's eyes, nose, and other senses were attracted by everything on the table. attract.
"Wow, are the small dark yellow particles sprinkled on this white and tender rice cake the osmanthus?"
"Yes, it's the osmanthus on the osmanthus tree in our yard. You picked it up for me last time!" Yang Ruoqing happened to come in with a steamer again. Hearing this, he smiled and put the steamer in the middle of the table. In the middle, he patted his apron and glanced at the people at the table, "Okay, the food is all served, let's use your chopsticks!"
"Auntie, come and sit down. Stop working."
"Hey, it's coming."
Everyone sat in a circle around the table, and Luo Baobao poked his head next to Shun'er's identification: "...this is red date hair cake, this is calla lily cake, this is custard bun, and this is soup. Bao, this is a carrot and squid roll, what is this?"
"This is a whole wheat sandwich, filled with poached eggs, vegetables, and the sweet and spicy sauce I made." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
sandwich?
The first time he heard this statement, not only Luo Baobao's eyes lit up, but even the young and mature Chen'er also cast a curious look.
As for the others, not to mention, the reactions made Yang Ruoqing feel a sense of accomplishment!
"Okay, we've all recognized each other. Now hurry up and use your chopsticks. We're going to have a banquet at Grandma's house next door later tomorrow!" Yang Ruoqing blew the 'charge horn' for the second time, and everyone waved their hands. The chopsticks launched a fierce attack on the exquisite food on the table...
After breakfast, Yang Ruoqing packed up the birthday gifts and took her two children to the main room.
At this time, except Tuoba Xian, Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian had all changed into clean and neat clothes and were waiting here.
In the past two years, Tuoba Xian has participated less and less in such occasions.
Yang Ruoqing could understand her mother-in-law's mood, so she directly blocked the invitations to these relatives and friends' homes for Tuoba Xian.
"Is everything missing?" Wang Cuilian asked.
"Took them all," Yang Ruoqing replied.
"Okay, let's go over there quickly!" Wang Cuilian just stood up and was about to get something on the table, but Chen'er and Luo Baobao grabbed it first.
"Brother and I are here, how can we let your elders take it? No one is allowed to take it now, so you just throw it away with your bare hands." Luo Baobao said with a smile, picked up the gift, weighed it, and said exaggeratedly: "Wow, there are so many How much is the gift worth? We used to have a banquet for the five of us, but later we have to eat with all our bellies to get back the gift money!"
These words made everyone laugh, even the serious blacksmith Luo laughed with deep wrinkles on his face.
"This girl..."
Yang Ruoqing also shook her head.
Wang Cuilian touched Baobao Luo's head: "We were full of pastries made by your mother in the morning. It depends on you whether we can eat back later."
Luo Baobao took a deep breath, his energy surged, and he carried the gifts and headed out the door. The situation looked more like going to a battlefield than a banquet.
Separated by a wall, in the large yard of Yang Huazhong's house, the weather is crisp and clear in autumn. The tables are placed in the spacious and open yard. The birds on the trees above have almost flown to the south. There is no such thing as bird droppings on the dining table.
When Yang Ruoqing and his party arrived, other relatives and friends had already arrived in the yard early, sitting sporadically at different tables, drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
The three brothers Yang Huazhong, Yang Huaming and Yang Huazhou, as hosts, were walking around different tables greeting the guests.
They were all acquaintances. They had greeted Blacksmith Luo and the others, and when they saw Chen'er and Baby Luo, they couldn't help but praise and compliment them.
Luo Baobao was so used to these compliments that he became numb. He smiled absently and found an excuse to go to the backyard to find Xiuxiu and the others.
