My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 110 Selling Fish

   "What a good girl, if only I had a daughter like you."

Liang Hongyu pulled Wang Susu, reluctant to let go, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Fugui has mentioned us to you. In fact, we haven't known Fugui for a long time, but we have a lot of fate. A few of our family return to our hometown to visit relatives. He bumped into it."

   "He also runs to the county town all the time, and he's familiar with it once and for all. This time, he went to my in-law's house to live for a few days. When he came back to pass by you, he wanted to come and see."

   After saying that, Qin Rong and Qin Rong first took off the basket on which the bicycle was hanging, and lifted the cloth on the top. There were jerky, pastries and various snacks in it. Just looking at the packaging, we knew that it was definitely not cheap.

   "This is sent by my son and daughter-in-law. My uncle Qin and I are old and have bad teeth, so I can't eat so much. I'll send you some by the way."

   Hearing this, Wang Susu breathed a sigh of relief, she thought the old couple were some kind of relatives of Chen Ling.

   "Come on, come on."

   Seeing Wang Susu in a daze, Liang Hongyu thought she was embarrassed, so she put the basket in her hand, and happily pushed the bicycle into the house with Qin Rongxian.

"This…"

  Wang Susu glanced at Chen Ling, a little troubled.

   "It's alright, keep it."

  Chen Ling smiled at her, and briefly explained the origins of the two of them, so that she would not be restrained or think too much, just treat her as an ordinary guest coming to the house.

  Then drove the ox cart to the backyard, carried two large watermelons and put them on the ice in the well, and a few people sat under the shade of the tree and set up a home.

   With Chen Ling's reminder, Wang Susu really regarded these two old men as retirees who were idle and wandering around, and his mind relaxed.

As for Liang Hongyu, the last time I heard Chen Ling say that the county used to sell things without telling his daughter-in-law, and they lied to them and reported a false name, so they also paid attention to this point. Whenever it was about to say that Chen Ling was there When the matter in the county town was over, I hurriedly changed the subject and ignored it vaguely.

  Fortunately, Wang Susu knew that her husband was no longer messing around, and he had more serious business than before, so he didn't ask.

Eating watermelon and chatting, the old couple somehow talked about their going to the countryside. They talked about Fenglei Town and the villages around Fenglei Town. Back then, they ate a big pot of rice together, engaged in collective labor, and regularly organized Engage in cultural activities, sing folk songs, watch movies and other interesting things.

   It happened that Wang Susu's home belonged to Fenglei Town, and there was an immediate discussion.

   Talk and laugh, time flies.

This time the old couple came to the door, Chen Ling really just thought that the two were too busy and had nothing to do, so they turned around, so when it was time to cook, to prepare lunch, it was simple and light. a bit.

   Who knew that Qin Rong would rush to cook when he saw him preparing lunch, saying that he wanted to make two famous northern dishes.

   "Uncle Qin, just rest and come to my house. How can there be any reason for the guests to cook?"

Liang Hongyu laughed when she heard it: "Your Uncle Qin has not been in the capital for so many years, and his usual family banquets are indispensable for him to cook. Don't be polite to him, let him do it, you two have never been out. Far away, this time I will also let you taste the northern dishes."

   Now Chen Ling can't say anything more.

   "Rich, rich, is there a community in the village?"

   "Yes, there is a lame club in the west. Uncle Qin, if you need something, I will buy it."

  Public ownership has long been abolished, but due to the remoteness of the province, the shadow of public ownership still exists everywhere.

For example, the address of the commune in the village is still preserved, as well as the old mill, the wheat field, etc. On weekdays, the villagers refer to the village committee by what they do in the brigade, not the village committee, the small shop The shop does not say a small shop, but a 'community', the 'community' of a supply and marketing cooperative.

   Qin Rongxian and the two returned to their hometown. They also followed the local customs and talked about the local names with the people in their hometown.

   "No, I'll go with you, I have to choose."

   "Also, Uncle Qin, let me tell you first, there are pheasants, hares, fish, eggs, and vegetables such as beans, loofah, eggplants, tomatoes, and leeks. You can see what else you want to buy..."

   "Hey, this guy doesn't even need vegetables, does this pheasant and hare also have it? How do you keep it in such a hot day?"

   "It didn't save much. The dogs at home would catch two or three dogs every few days, and often they didn't finish the last meal, and the next meal would be there."

   "Oh, this dog is so good, why didn't you see it."

   Qin Rong first looked east and west in the yard, but he didn't see any dog.

  Chen Ling smiled when he saw it: "I haven't paid much attention to them recently. I go out and run like crazy every day, and refuse to come back until dinner time."

   "Haha, this is the style of a country dog, and it is much freer and happier than a dog in the city."

  The two of them talked and went out together. They went to the Cui Lame Society to cut three catties of pork, bought some pig water, and some side dishes such as tofu and mountain noodles, and came back.

  Looking at what Qin Rong picked first, Chen Ling probably knew what he was going to cook. When he got home, he boiled and soaked the mountain noodles, poured some vegetarian meatballs, and Qin Rong started to cook officially.

   On the contrary, this time, Chen Ling became the first to do the trick, washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, preparing seasonings, and finally tidying up the stove and letting Qin Rong do it first.

At first, Chen Ling thought that these two elders couldn't cook. Seeing the current situation, at least Qin Rong was a skilled cook. He cooked oil, seasoned the seasoning, and fry the sugar. It was all very quick. The cooking speed was not as fast as Chen Ling's. Slow, just after noon, several dishes have been prepared: three kinds of explosions, fried fish fillets, braised fish maw, and shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

   A large pot of vegetables is still simmering on the stove.

Beijing cuisine is mainly fried, fried, simmered, steamed, and roasted. The amount is large and the mouth is heavy. The mouth-heavy here is not the same as in the south. It has a heavier taste than ordinary dishes. If it is not handled well, many southerners are not used to it.

   But Qin Rong first cooked these dishes just right, no matter the seasoning or the salt, they were all in place. Especially the three dishes made with pig water. If such a dish has less salt, it will not be able to suppress the fishy smell. If there is too much salt, it will panic, and it will be a test of the level.

   "Uncle Qin is amazing. You cook these northern dishes so delicious. It's completely different from what I imagined."

  Chen Ling tasted the remaining bottom of the pot and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

   "Haha, I've been doing it for decades. If it weren't for the old age, the taste would be even better."

   Qin Rong first shook his head and smiled, and brought the vegetable bowl to the table with Chen Ling.

   Not long after, the cauldron dishes came out. Pork, mountain noodles, tofu, vegetarian meatballs, and small cabbage were boiled into a pot, and the aroma of firewood from the stove wafted out, which made people's appetite open.

   This meal made Chen Ling and Wang Susu very enjoyable, especially Wang Susu, it was the first time in his life that he had eaten northern food, so he ate an extra steamed bun.

   Even Liang Hongyu was amazed that the dishes Qin Rongxian cooked today were much better than before.

   The two of them didn't know that it was because of Chen Ling's water and green vegetables, but they were happy today and played at an excellent level.

  After eating, the old couple looked around in the yard, looked around, and kept praising the beauty of the yard.

It was early summer, and the courtyard was already lined with green trees. Cyan loofahs and purple lentils were all over the shelves. Peach and jujube trees were full of fruit. From time to time, fish jumped out of the water to eat the worms crawling on the lotus flowers, a few rabbits were running back and forth in the courtyard with their noses raised, and unknown birds on the trees were jumping between the branches...

  Everything shows the fun of the farmhouse, which makes the old couple feel at ease without knowing it, and even thinks of getting old here.

  …

   "Fugui, can you drive?"

  The old couple was feeding the fish by the pool, Qin Rongxian suddenly asked this question.

  Chen Ling was stunned by the question, and said, "Can I drive a tractor?"

   "Haha, tractors are also considered. In fact, people who can drive a tractor can drive a car. It's almost the same. Cars are easy to learn."

   Qin Rong said with a smile.

   "Why did Uncle Qin ask this all of a sudden?"

   "When my aunt and I came from the village, I heard that there was a call for a new leader in the county, to hire a driver who can drive, and to be young and strong, with a good image. I think you are quite suitable."

   "Would you like to try it? I saw that the township government lined up a long queue early in the morning, but those young people, how can you look good, and your image is not comparable to you."

  Liang Hongyu nodded after hearing this, expressing her approval.

   In fact, this was also what the two of them had negotiated before they came. They wanted to arrange a decent job for Chen Ling, and they didn't want him to live in a ravine for the rest of his life.

   But you can't say it clearly, and you can't say it's too outrageous. After all, they had only known each other for a while, and Chen Ling didn't know their identities, so he could only talk about it by turning a corner.

   As the old saying goes, if you have nothing to do with your hospitality, you are a traitor or a thief.

  No one is a fool, and they will not easily believe that someone is good to them for no reason. Unless they are parents or relatives, there is a high probability that they have bad intentions. The two also took this into consideration, knowing that it would be easy to make Chen Ling suspicious, and it would be difficult to explain at that time.

   But as long as Chen Lingken agrees, everything will be easy to handle in the future, and the speed of information dissemination is not fast in this era, so they can arrange it properly when they return to the county seat. Although Liang Hongyu's name is not as easy to use locally as it is in the capital, he still has a little network.

  The old couple was full of confidence, but Chen Ling didn't pay much attention to it. Qin Qiumei said before that he should go to the township government.

   Seeing Chen Ling shaking his head and looking very uninterested, Liang Hongyu was a little anxious: "Don't underestimate the driver, as long as you can become a driver, you will have more opportunities in the future."

   Hearing this, Chen Ling didn't do anything, Wang Susu couldn't help but whispered: "Aunt Hongyu, didn't you say that you can't give birth to a baby when you are in public office?"

Then he quietly glanced at Chen Ling, saw that he had no reaction, and said: "Last time, the family planning office thought that the family planning slogan that A Ling thought was brilliant, so they wanted to take A Ling to the township government to be a publicity committee member. go."

"If you go to give birth to a second child, you will have to live or die. There are police officers in our village, so won't they be sterilized this year? I heard that they would have to be fined 10,000 yuan and have to be on file. In the future, their children will be affected. , and then luckily, it was only a sterilization, this kind of work is too scary, A Ling is unwilling to go, and I am even more unwilling."

   These words confused Qin Rongxian and Liang Hongyu. They never thought that someone else had invited Chen Ling to go to the village before, but he hadn't gone.

   Not to mention this.

   The key point is that even Wang Susu, the daughter-in-law, is not willing to let her go. When the mother-in-law of other people heard that she wants to be a driver for the leader, who is not excited to jump her feet, and she has to break her head and rush to go. When they are here, why are they different from others?

   This guy just made Liang Hongyu anxious to death, thinking silly girl, what is the matter of having a child, as long as the rich and noble are willing to accept the arrangement, it is not a problem.

   But in a hurry, there are a lot of considerations, and I don’t know what to say for a while.

   Just then, a little doll in open-crotch pants broke into the yard and interrupted their conversation with a childish voice.

   "Uncle Fugui, Uncle Fugui, Heiwa Xiaojin fought with the dog of the outsider. It's been a fierce fight. Go and see."

  Chen Ling got up immediately after hearing the words: "Where is it? Take me there."

   "On the dam right outside my house."

   "Susu, stay with Uncle Qin and Aunt Hongyu at home, I'll go see what's going on."

  Chen Ling explained to Wang Susu, who was also a little worried and anxious, then picked up the little baby and hurried out the door.

   This baby is Wang Juxiang's son, nicknamed Stinky, who is two years younger than Xiao Mori. He wears open-crotch pants all day and follows Xiao Mori and the others around the village. His home is at the entrance of the village, not far from the reservoir dam.

Compared with his father, his grandmother, and the rotten boy, he is more sensible. Liang Guizhen prefers him a little bit, and the pocket money and snacks he gives are more than the two children of Wang Jusheng's family. In private, the baby shared with her sister and brother, so that Wang Jusheng and his wife were very close to this nephew.

   Hurrying to the entrance of the village with the little rotten egg in his arms, Chen Ling heard the dogs barking on the dam from a distance.

Looking at the prestige, I saw that the dam was crowded with people, making noise, and I couldn't see what was going on. Seeing this posture, Chen Ling was a little worried. At first glance, Xiao Jinzheng stood majestically in the middle of a large group of local dogs, confronting more than a dozen other fierce and sturdy large hounds, and Heiwa had already bitten with one of the **** and red dogs with pimples all over his body. In a group, the local dogs around were barking frantically, grazing for Heiwa, and at the same time, they kept shouting and cheering.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling's heart jerked up, but it quickly fell again, because he could see that Heiwa had the upper hand, and the **** and red dog bitten frantically for a while without hurting him. At this time, Heiwa fell to the ground instead, bit the back of its neck, twisted his neck and threw it wildly with his tyrannical waist. Come on, the black and red big dog has no resistance at all, like a chick caught by Heiwa, howling desperately, so frightened that the feces and urine flowed together.

The lively crowd was extremely quiet all of a sudden, staring blankly at Heiwa, until a piece of flesh was torn off from the black and red dog's neck. A bright red piece, and the black and red big dog had already bitten off its neck, and directly swallowed.

   "Brother Fugui, you dog is really fierce."

  Chen Ling was attracted by his own dog when he first arrived. When he heard the voice, he saw a familiar face standing behind the dozen or so hounds. It was actually a lynx that he hadn't seen in nearly two months.

   Lynx didn't come back alone, there were several people standing beside them, each of them led two or three hunting dogs on long ropes, and behind them was a row of dirty, muddy jeeps. He was blocked by the villagers just now, and Chen Ling didn't notice it for a while.

   "Heiwa, Xiaojin, you two bring me back."

  Chen Ling called the two dogs in front of him, and nodded at the lynx: "So it's the lynx brothers, what the **** is going on here?"

   "It's not a big deal, it's just that these two dogs were not trained well. They dared to bark at the child as soon as they got out of the car. Let your dog teach you a lesson after seeing it, and it deserves to die."

   Lynx smiled lightly, then bowed to the two people next to him to apologize, and took out two more coins and handed them over.

The couple didn't say anything else. After receiving the money, they took a little girl and came to Chen Ling: "Fugui, it's thanks to your dog today, otherwise my girl wouldn't know what to do with it. Like it."

Chen Ling was still a little confused at this time, but he also saw that besides the **** and red dog, there was a hunting dog lying on the ground beside him. The villagers were killed.

   "Ah? What's going on, Sister Xinghua?"

"These people from other places want to bring their dogs into the village. My dog ​​will bark when they smell it, and my niece will come out to see what's going on. Who knows that their dog broke the rope and rushed to my niece. Zi pounced, really scared to death."

"It's also fortunate that your dog is here, and they drove the two dogs away without saying a word, but they brought a lot of dogs, and they started fighting in front of my house. I'm really afraid that your dog will suffer, so just The shovels helped a few times, and they got harder and harder."
