My 1995 Small Farm - Vol 2 Chapter 429
Chapter 429 Young Woman
The village was lively all morning, and Chen Ling was not interested in getting involved in their affairs.
I took two things from the yard of the village, released the little white cow, and then drove the old man back to the farm on a motorcycle.
They also have things to do today.
The weather is hot, and eggs are not easy to store for a long time.
A new batch of salted eggs is about to be pickled.
There are quite a lot of chicken and duck eggs in each batch, and this one has to be busy for most of the day.
“Is everything okay in the village?”
Wang Susu and Ruirui were at the orchard with Ruirui, just opened the door of the chicken coop, and asked when she saw them coming back.
Chen Ling smiled slightly, walked over and hugged Ruirui: “It’s nothing, call the police, we don’t care.”
“dad.”
Rui Rui pointed to the chicken coop for him to see.
Chen Ling looked over, “What’s the matter, there are chickens, ducks, and geese.”
“eat.”
“You have nothing else to do, except play and eat.”
“hey-hey.”
At this time, the chickens, ducklings, and geese in the family have slowly shed their down and began to grow thick feathers.
The young ones grow the fastest.
It’s just that they haven’t grown perfectly. Some of the fluff has fallen off, but the feathers haven’t grown out for a while, so some chicks are still ‘naked eggs’.
But bare buttocks don’t affect them running out to have fun and grab food. As soon as the doors of the chicken coop and duck pen are opened, a group of little creatures rush out chirping, ducks and geese jumping into the water, catching small fish and shrimps When he came to eat, the little chick rushed into the grass, chasing the immature grasshoppers and the little frogs that had just landed.
But the adult chickens, ducks and geese were very calm, slowly swaying out, walking leisurely one by one, lined up, some walked up the mountain, and some walked into the small river ditch behind the farm.
Seeing this, the chicks, ducks and geese also ran out of the grass in a hurry, jumped up from the ditch, and followed closely with their little buttocks shaking.
The goslings mixed with the chickens and ducks grow much faster than the chickens and ducklings. On average, they can be a circle bigger than the ducklings and two circles bigger than the chicks. Now it is time to moult.
It’s not as good-looking as before.
There were a few rough hairs stuck on the originally fluffy and chubby body, which made Chen Ling always want to pluck them off.
“I’ll take him to the pharmacy. I’m always running around at home and want to play with water. I’ll pickle it first.”
Wang Susu carried a basket of eggs. The village has everything in the house, and pickled salted eggs are also convenient.
Wang Cunye snatched his daughter’s basket when he saw this, “What are you still worrying about, you can just watch him at home, your mother will send Zhenzhen back in a while, and the three of us worked very quickly.”
Chen Ling also said that she doesn’t need to worry about it, just let her take care of the baby in the village.
Ruirui is really skinnier than a little monkey. Now she walks more steadily and dares to go anywhere, but she has to watch her carefully.
Wang Susu couldn’t resist, so she just hugged Ruirui like this, and the two women went to the village each wearing a small sun hat.
Chen Ling and Wang Cunye then released the livestock.
The little green horse couldn’t wait a long time ago, and as soon as it was released, it rushed out and let go of its four hooves, having fun for a while.
The flock of sheep bleats, you squeeze me and you squeeze you, and they rush out.
There are only three cattle, walking slowly towards the river, where the grass is delicious and cooler, and there are little white cattle there.
Guarded by dogs.
Don’t worry about them, they’ve already gotten used to it.
Chen Ling, Weng and his son-in-law moved the things to the pavilion in the bamboo forest, boiled water, made tea, and pickled salted eggs.
After a while, Gao Xiulan came back, and the speed was much faster.
The old couple talked about what happened in the village while working.
Talk about earth dragons, jackals, wild monkeys…
The more you talk, the more evil you become.
Gao Xiulan finally came to a conclusion: “Even the earth dragon has gone to the mountains, there must be a valuable treasure that we don’t know about.”
It was about eleven o’clock at this time, Gao Xiulan got up and went back to make lunch after finishing speaking.
Before taking two steps, I heard the little boy running here to play in the distance shouting.
Xiao Mori from Yu Qiang’s family ran over to call him, bouncing up and down with excitement on his face: “Grandpa, Grandpa, your dog is well matched, this time I will give birth to a puppy.”
“Dog paired?”
Chen Ling and Wang Cunye glanced at each other and hurried over there.
Under the watchful eyes of the little baby, there were indeed two big dogs, one gray and one red, sticking out their tongues, and their buttocks were connected together.
“I’ll go, Ermao and Red Wolf are paired together.”
The paired dogs are Ermao, the puppy from Chen Ling’s family, and the Xiangxi Red Wolfhound from Shanmao’s family.
The Shanmao family went to Yaowang Temple to burn incense, so naturally they didn’t bring a dog with them. His red wolf and Zhao Dahai’s small dog stayed together. Anyway, if you pick any dog from Chen Ling’s side, you can subdue them. Don’t be afraid of them making trouble and biting people.
“Unexpectedly, Ermao was the first to open up.”
Wang Cunye was stunned for a moment, and said happily, “Er Hei needs to work harder.”
Among the first batch of wolf dogs, except for the black dog Erhei, the others were gray and yellow, similar to the coat color of wolves.
Chen Ling arranged them from ten cents to nine cents.
Ermao is easy to identify. There was a small meat bun on the umbilical cord, which was obvious.
“Hahaha, our family’s second-generation wolfdog has settled down, and Bobcat can go back with satisfaction this time.”
Chen Ling laughed.
The red wolves of the Lynx family are in estrus, and the two of them originally wanted them to get along with each other, and maybe they will.
Unexpectedly, only about a week later, a scene of a boy from a mountain village falling in love with a young woman from the city really took place.
“Can it be sold?”
“Selling is secondary. The first litter of a female dog is usually a puppy. This red wolf is the first litter. There is a high probability that it is an only child, so it cannot be sold…”
Chen Ling shook his head and smiled: “The main reason is that the puppies have become enlightened. It will be easy to talk about in the future, and our second-generation wolfdog will also be easy to handle.”
There is no need to sell one or two puppies. The key is that the dogs can be mated, and the **** gradually start to estrus. After that, everything will be easy to handle.
…
The Shanmao family went for four or five days and stayed in Fenglei Town for two days. They also planned to help Chen Ling drive the two uncles here.
Bobmao and Professor Han went to Lutou Mountain to track the golden monkey and earth leopard, and they have known Wang Qingwen and his brothers for a long time.
It’s a pity that they still can’t leave, and they have to wait two or three days for the holiday. Besides, Wang Qingzhong did business with the caravan and didn’t return.
After rushing back at noon, the first thing Shan Mao got out of the car was to tell Chen Ling about it.
As a result, I was told that the dog matched.
But the Bobcat was so happy that he almost jumped up.
“Three cats and four dogs, wait two more months, won’t we have puppies?”
Bobcat clapped his hands: “Why don’t you leave it here to give birth.”
“No, I already have enough dogs.” Chen Ling refused.
“Haha, it scares you, who told you to raise it for me…”
Shanmao said, winking at Zhao Dahai and the others: “The two old men are having fun, and they are reluctant to leave. They want to build a house in your mountain.”
“What? Building a house in the mountains? You’re right.”
Chen Ling was stunned. The two old men wanted to come out as soon as possible.
He and Bobcat just went to see the dog.
Zhao Dahai, who was sitting in the pavilion with Wang Cunye and the elders helping salted eggs, was obviously talking about this too.
I just heard Wang Cunye say: “There are wild things in the mountains now, so what are you going to do to build a house in the mountains, don’t talk about it, and you have to worry about it at night.”
“Brother Cunye, you don’t understand what we mean. We are getting old and tired of staying in the city, so we want to live a life of seclusion in the countryside. I have mentioned this to the children a long time ago, and they think we are fine. Looking for guilt, what good is there in the countryside, it’s bitter and tiring, even the suburban counties don’t want us to go…”
Zhao Yubao shook his head, sighed with a smile, “But after coming to your side for a few days, we old couple understand that the countryside is not only bitter and tiring, but also allows us to live a fulfilling and comfortable life.
To put it bluntly, you just think that we are boring when we are old, and we have to farm a little bit, put in a little effort and sweat a little bit, so that we can feel solid and interesting, and our work is not in vain. ”
When Chen Ling heard this, he smiled in his heart: Come on, it turned out that he came to live in seclusion.
It seems that this preparation has been made for a long time, and it is not a whim.
Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan couldn’t figure out what they did wrong, and they still didn’t understand.
Old Zhongtou hurriedly said: “Brother Cunye, don’t look at me. Our old couple just played with them and came here to escape the summer heat. They said they wanted to build a house, but they left in two or three months after the summer. We are still waiting for our grandchildren, so we can’t live here for a long time. It’s enough to come here every summer to play.
What a fun summer, hehe. ”
“No, brother Zhao, brother Zhong, I don’t mean anything else. The mountains are really not peaceful recently. It’s better not to live in the mountains. Let me tell you about the latest things…”
Wang Cunye talked about what happened twice in a row when Li Hongqi and others entered the mountain.
In the midst of the narration, the adults and children who rushed to the dinner hall today also came over.
Everyone, you say what you say.
Explained what happened in the mountains in detail.
What all kinds of ferocious beasts, legends of the land master’s anger and mountain spirits and ghosts.
While the elderly people of the two families felt novel and exciting, they also felt a little scared.
“Since it is not possible in the mountains, what about in the village? Is it okay to build houses in the village?”
Zhao Yubao said a little unwillingly.
“We originally wanted to build two bamboo houses in the bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain lake, and reclaim two small courtyards to grow vegetables and flowers, surrounded by streams, which must be very artistic…”
The two old ladies also looked forward to agreeing.
In just a few days after coming here, their waists and legs no longer hurt, their sleep has improved, and their moods are extremely cheerful, and they enjoy themselves every day.
It’s much better than staying in the city.
Especially looking at the life of Chen Ling’s family, he was really envious.
The Chen Ling family hasn’t said anything yet.
Wang Laishun hurriedly said: “It’s okay in the village. You can choose where you want to build a house. I will help you find someone to build a house.”
The other villagers were also very enthusiastic.
Grandma, this is a great writer. He has come to live in the village, and it will be more face-saving to talk about it in the future.
Although many villagers do not understand what these city people are thinking.
Living in a high-rise building in the city and driving a car is what many people dream of.
What are you doing drilling into the corner of this poor mountain valley?
Still struggling to build a house in the mountains.
There are also people who are open-minded, and think that it is right for people to do whatever they want with money, spend whatever they like, and play whatever they like. If you are tired of staying in the country, you can go back if you want, and you don’t care about the house here. If you are poor and tired of staying in the country, can you go out when you want?
So it doesn’t matter what other people do, if you have your own benefits, go for it, and if you don’t have your own benefits, let others blindly praise you and it’s over.
Shanmao said to the two old men, “See? You can’t do it in the mountains, so go to the village and settle down here with your heart.”
“My dad is not bad, but Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are really possessed.”
Chen Ling laughed out loud when he heard this.
He actually understands this feeling.
Once in Beijing, he also saw old people raising chickens, ducks, pigeons, and growing vegetables and food on the balconies and roofs of residential buildings in luxurious communities.
Every night, you can hear the sound of pigeons flapping their wings, and in the morning, you can also hear the crowing of roosters and the crowing of big geese.
As for growing vegetables and food, foam boxes, snakeskin bags and the like can be solved.
It really opened his eyes and he remembered it very deeply.
Some people yearn for rural life when they get old, and dream of living in seclusion in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
It’s like what Tao Yuanming said in his poem: There are few rhymes suitable for vulgarity, and **** is love for hills.
Nothing else, just this kind of life, I live well.
At noon, I had a simple meal at Chen Ling’s farm.
The two of them followed Wang Laishun to the village to find a suitable place to build a house.
Chen Ling didn’t join in the fun.
He rode on the little green horse, took the brat Ruirui with him, carried a basket of mountain donkey meat, and sent it to two friends in the county.
The freshness of the water tower is good, even better than the refrigerator.
If there is any meat in the future, I don’t worry about it being spoiled in the hot weather.
Chen Ling planned to kill a sheep, some roosters and ducks before the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival, and hang them into the water tower.
“By the way, there are zongzi leaves…”
Chen Ling thought about it for a while, and said to himself: “The reed leaves are almost fragrant, and there is no eyebrow bamboo here. I wonder if there is anything in Dongtian that can replace it.”
Thinking so, Zhong Xiaoyun’s home arrived.
It is also a small courtyard similar to the one in the south of Chen Ling’s house.
Many years ago, the county towns were all self-built houses. Like the villages, the residents living in the same county town lived in much the same style.
“Okay, this is your Aunt Xiaoyun’s house, you go and call the door.”
Chen Ling got off the horse and slipped his son off with one hand. The brat was wearing a Mickey Mouse sun hat, a small water bottle on his chest, and sandals. He ran to the red-painted iron gate of the small courtyard staggeringly.
Then he turned his head and looked at Chen Ling, not knowing what to do.
Chen Ling took out a large piece of meat from the basket and said with a smile, “You said Auntie would open the door.”
The little thing pouted his little butt, pressed his little hand on the door, and shouted forcefully through the crack of the door: “Auntie~ Kaimeng~”
Chen Ling cooperated with him and tapped on the door lightly.
Soon there were footsteps coming from the courtyard, and the door opened, revealing Zhong Xiaoyun’s surprised face: “Hey, who is this? Let auntie see who this is, isn’t this Ruirui? Why are you here?”
“Hee hee, yes~”
Having not seen Zhong Xiaoyun for many days, Ruirui is still a little shy, holding the small water bottle on her chest with both hands, and smiling shyly.
“Everyone will come down and run away. Auntie came to give me a hug.”
Zhong Xiaoyun was overjoyed, picked up the little guy and kissed him, and soon made the brat happy, rolling back and forth itchy in Zhong Xiaoyun’s arms, avoiding her teasing.
Then Zhong Xiaoyun greeted Chen Ling after having a good time with the little guy.
“Mountain donkey meat tastes good, it is said to be similar to veal, try it.”
Zhong Xiaoyun was not polite, she hugged Ruirui and let him go home: “You haven’t gone to Amei’s place yet, she said that your family came to see you in the past two days, Aunt Hongyu’s cow seems to be sick these two days Yes, the medicine doesn’t work, I want you to help me to see it.”
