My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 12 Heiwa Xiaojin

   Although there is no farmland in Wang Susu's house, they still grow a small amount of food. Moreover, after marrying here, they do not less farm work, so they can still distinguish the quality of the soil from bad.

   After seeing the two small piles of dirt that Chen Ling poured out of his pocket, he was a little surprised.

   "Is this really the soil from the original Erzhu family's wasteland?"

  Chen Ling nodded with a smile, "Of course, is that still fake?"

   "I'll show you after lunch, and you'll know."

   After saying this, Wang Susu obviously believed a lot.

   But then, he frowned lightly, as if he was still a little worried.

  Chen Ling also knew what the little daughter-in-law was worried about, so he continued to comfort him: "Don't worry Susu, as long as the soil is not bad enough, I have a way to make it grow."

   "What I told you before, you have to believe me!"

   then winked at her and smiled mysteriously.

  Wang Susu was stunned for a moment, and then he was squeezing his eyes in a funny way, which made him laugh.

  Chen Ling also laughed.

   Then go and take out the pots and bowls, ready to eat.

   "Wang, wang, wang..."

   Seeing Chen Ling leaving, the two puppies couldn't wait any longer, so they struggled out of Wang Susu's arms.

   wagging his little tail, he followed behind Chen Ling tremblingly.

   But in the end, he was still too young to catch up with Chen Ling. His short legs were so anxious that the two little guys collided directly and rolled several times on the ground.

   looked up and found that Chen Ling was gone, so he was so anxious that he screamed.

  Wang Susu couldn't help but smile. When Chen Ling came out of the house with the pot and bowl in her hand, she couldn't help laughing and said, "A Ling, these two puppies are so sticky to you, they will bark in a hurry when they can't see you."

  Isn't that right? When the two little guys saw Chen Ling appearing in front of them again, they hurriedly ran to him with their little tails wagging, and then they wanted to climb up along their legs.

   It was rare to see Wang Susu so happy, so Chen Ling put down the pot, picked up a puppy with one hand, and held it in his arms.

   The two little guys were in his arms for a while, "Seeing Susu, they want to pester me to suckle."

  Wang Susu laughed 'puchi'.

   Then his face turned slightly red, and he gave him a strange look: "Don't talk nonsense."

   But the smile in his eyes could not be concealed, and he said, "Why don't you give them a name."

   "Name? Good!"

  Chen Ling thought for a while: "The black color is male, so it is called Heiwa, and the yellow color is female. If the name is more delicate, it is called Xiaojin."

   "Heiwa and Xiaojin, what do you think of Susu?"

  Chen Ling smiled and expressed his satisfaction with his name.

  What little black and little yellow, there are too many dogs calling this, and when they go out and shout, the dogs themselves are stunned, and they can't tell who they are calling.

   "Huh? Heiwa, Xiaojin..."

  Wang Susu heard it, repeated it several times, and thought it was quite smooth.

   couldn't help but pursed his lips and nodded, "It sounds good, let's call Heiwa and Xiaojin!"

  So, the names of the two puppies were decided.

   Lunch Wang Susu is ready.

  Newly steamed steamed buns, simply fried with green onions and eggs.

  Chen Ling saw this, and went to boil a pot of nugget soup. The water was the stream water in the cave, and there was some spinach in it.

   When spinach came back from the ground, he dug a few spinach seedlings in someone else's vegetable field, transplanted it into the cave, and soon grew up.

   So the nugget soup made is unexpectedly good.

  Wang Susu couldn't control it, and was overwhelmed again.

   Originally, Chen Ling wanted to cook two special dishes for his daughter-in-law at noon.

   But it is only early February, the weather in the mountains is very cold, and there are no green vegetables growing in the ground, so it is not easy for him to take it out from the cave.

   I can only make it for my daughter-in-law after I go to the county town to sell peanuts tomorrow, and then I will have a suitable excuse.

  …

   Not long after lunch, the loudspeaker in the village rang again.

   said that every household should not go out this afternoon, and the township family planning office would go door-to-door to inspect and register.

   So in the afternoon, Chen Ling and Wang Susu stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.

   However, the situation in front of him brought back a lot of memories.

   I still remember that in that parallel time and space, the aunt’s family had to come to their hometown to live in their hometown when they had a second child, and they lived there for two years.

   At that time, there was no other way. If they were called to the door, ordinary families would not be able to bear it.

   This is just a second child, that's all.

   What is even more poignant is that after just twenty years, it was all the other way around.

   became encouragement and support.

   But at that time, few young people were willing to give birth.

   This kind of inversion difference between different eras is very embarrassing.

   After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ling also took advantage of this time to clean up the peanuts in the cave, and plans to plant another mu or two of land tomorrow, and pull them to the county town to sell the day after tomorrow.

   He has experimented before.

   under the influence of his subconscious mind.

   Peanuts can speed up the drying step during the sun and moon cave days, and they can be completely dried overnight.

   You don’t have to work hard, just tinker with it and let it dry.

  The rest of the peanut leaves and twigs and vines were taken off and not thrown away. It would be a waste of good things. It is better to keep it for chickens.

  Chen Ling took care of himself, while Wang Susu made two pairs of shoes for spring.

  When it was dusk, Qin Qiumei brought people from the township family planning office.

   simply registered, leaving two boxes of family planning supplies, which is also known as a small raincoat in later generations, and then left in a hurry.

   However, before leaving, Qin Qiumei's look made Chen Ling a little annoyed.

   After seeing Wang Susu, the little girl's eyes revealed a meaning.

   A flower was inserted on the cow dung.

   Wanted to argue but had nowhere to argue, Chen Ling couldn't help but feel annoyed.

  Wang Susu didn't notice anything unusual. After finishing the new shoes, he enthusiastically built a doghouse for the two little guys, Heiwa and Xiaojin.

   These two little things worked together to kill a small bowl of nugget soup at noon, so that their belly was full, and they curled up beside the stove and slept soundly all afternoon.

   "Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, don't grow any flesh in the future, it will make you struggle to chase a rabbit..."

  Chen Ling muttered, got up and went out to make dinner.

   In general, it is cold in winter here, and cooking is done indoors.

   However, Chen Ling still felt that the rice cooked with firewood was more fragrant, so he continued to use the simple stove he built with stones in the morning to cook in the yard.

   After Wang Susu ate two meals made by Chen Ling, he let him come.

  Because it is really delicious, it is unforgettable to eat it once.

   Besides, in this era, there is no delicious food in mountain villages.

  The best meal is to eat meat or dumplings at the end of the year.

   So Chen Ling can make home-cooked meals such a good taste, she has no reason to rush to cook.

   But when she was washing the pots and dishes after meals, she still couldn't bear to let Chen Ling do it alone.

  Chen Ling tried to persuade him twice to no avail, so he stopped rejecting it, mainly because he realized that this would also effectively enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

  For example, after there were two noon and evening sessions, Wang Susu was in front of him, talking significantly more and smiling gradually.

   For Chen Ling, this is what makes him feel most satisfied and happy.

  …

   Two days passed quietly.

   On the third day, just as the sun was shining, Chen Ling got up to cook. After breakfast, he went to Wang Laishun's house to borrow a donkey cart, and headed towards the county town under the light of the rising sun in the east.

  Today, he mainly went to sell peanuts and went to the farmers market in the county town to catch a morning market.

   But how could outsiders know about this, so he used the pretext of buying a rake and other farm implements to borrow a donkey cart from Wang Laishun’s family for cover.

  Otherwise, so many peanuts were conjured out of thin air, and it would be impossible to carry them without a car.
