Li Hongying knew Yi Roujing and the other two were going to Ning City to support Wang Qiushuang, so she was generous. Smoked chicken and fish paired together, canned goods, milk candy, malted milk, and peach crisps were all packed, along with several feet of cotton cloth.
"A few days ago, the brigade just slaughtered a pig. I'll buy some fresh ones to bring along with some dried mushrooms and a bag of rice. That should be enough for New Year's gifts."
As night fell, Li Hongying knocked on the door of a close family friend. Within half an hour, Ding Anguo returned with a basket of pork, including five pounds of pork belly and a pair of pig trotters.
That evening, all the New Year's gifts were loaded onto the Jeep, filling the trunk to the brim.
