My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 129 Changes

   "Brother, really, don't be stunned, sit down and eat."

   "No, Susu..."

   "Why did he get so much meat?"

  Wang Qingwen is a little anxious.

   "Is there any way to eat half a bowl of meat for a meal? It's not like this during the New Year!"

   "And this chicken and fish, don't forget the chicken, why is the fish also made into a dish?"

  The flesh of fish is too bland, without oil and water, and it takes a lot of oil to make it taste. This is the reason why many people do not care about them.

   The fish in this porcelain pot is very fragrant just by smelling it, and it is no worse than pork. Before Wang Qingwen tasted it, he knew that oil must be added.

   "He doesn't know what the year is this year? Is it easy to make some money? Do you think the family has too much food for a meal like this? It's too much to live?"

   "Brother, don't worry, this isn't the family building a new house to employ people, I bought too much meat and left over..."

   "Why do you use the leftovers, people who come to work are all fools? You don't eat meat, so you have so much leftover?"

  Wang Qingwen asked with a frown.

   He suspected that his sister was helping Chen Ling with good words.

   "Brother, keep your voice down so that the neighbors around you can hear it. I thought our house was in trouble again."

Wang Susu persuaded and explained: "I'm not going to the beam today, plus the helpers, there are almost fifty or sixty people at home, and A Ling is also afraid that there is not enough meat to eat, so he directly pulls half a pig back. …”

   Then he explained why so many people came to help at home this year.

After hearing this, Wang Qingwen's face became much better: "It's not a bad thing to interact with people in the village, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, there is no old man in this family, you are far away from your mother's home, and if you have something to do, it's better to help. "

   "Well, I know brother."

   "Actually, it's much better now. Alinken is motivated and has made many good friends. We are doing well now."

   Wang Susu said with a smile.

   "You, you never forget to praise this bastard."

  Wang Qingwen shook his head, and then asked: "Is there enough money in the family? If not, I'll bring you some money over. If you want me to see, if this house is built just by employing people to take care of the food, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

   "No need, brother, I made a lot of money selling vegetables with A Ling this year."

   Speaking of this, Wang Susu's face became brighter and brighter, she made a gesture to her eldest brother, and said, "Everything is expensive now, just selling vegetables sells so much."

   "Huh, that's a lot."

   Wang Qingwen's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

   exclaimed in his heart: Selling vegetables for more than 6,000 yuan, this guy is about to become a household of 10,000 yuan.

   "Brother, I'm in charge of the family's money now."

   Wang Susu thought that her elder brother understood what she meant, so she said a little proudly.

   "It's a good thing, it's a good thing to let you manage your money."

   "You girl, you can finally make people feel at ease."

  Wang Qingwen let out a long sigh, feeling completely at ease.

  As long as my sister can live a good life, my parents can also save snacks in the future.

   "Brother, are we still eating?"

   At this moment, Wang Zhenzhen asked in a low voice.

   The food was so fragrant, and there was so much meat that she couldn't help drooling, her stomach was already growling.

   It's just that the eldest brother was so angry just now that she didn't dare to hold chopsticks.

   "Brother, really, let's eat first, you can eat more after walking such a long way."

   "You can eat with Zhenzhen, I'll go and have a few words with that kid."

  Wang Qingwen shook his head, got up and walked out.

   No matter how good the food is, it is not as important as the well-being of my sister.

   He still has something to explain to Chen Ling.

   It’s hard to get in touch with the villagers. It’s really hard to save money when it’s time to spend, but this kid is used to big hands.

   Although the younger sister is in charge of the money.

   But in his opinion, his sister still can't handle this kid.

  …

   When Wang Qingwen walked into the courtyard, Chen Ling was carrying food from the house on the east side.

   I was really busy today.

   It’s okay to be busy on the beam during the day, but I didn’t expect my uncle and sister-in-law to come at night.

  Chen Ling has been busy since early in the morning and has not been able to take a good rest till now.

   This hard worker, even with his body and bones, felt tired, and the weather was hot, so he was sweating profusely before he carried a few bags of grain.

  Wang Qingwen wanted to beat him, but seeing his brother-in-law's exhausted face, he couldn't say anything, so he sighed softly, and stepped forward to help him.

  Chen Ling was quite surprised to see this, so he hurriedly said no, just come by himself.

   When a guest from her mother’s family came to the door, how could there be any reason to let you work when you first arrived?

  Wang Qingwen didn't talk much to him, but just kept his head down and helped him with his work.

   It didn't take long for the two of them to move out all the food.

  Wheat, rice noodles, mung beans, and peanuts are all piled up under the tree.

   "There's still a lot of food at home."

   "Yeah, Susu was afraid of lack of food at home, so she stocked up in advance."

   "How about your parents? If you don't have enough food, bring some when you go back."

   "No, it's fine on the mountain, and the grain in the cellar is good enough to eat."

   "That's fine."

   Worried that it would rain at night, the two of them covered the food with plastic sheets.

  Wang Susu came out to see this scene and couldn't help but smile.

   Behind her, Wang Zhenzhen also ran out holding a bowl and followed behind her sister, eating with rice grains on the corners of her mouth.

   "Brother, it's delicious."

   "The meat is old and fragrant, you can try it."

   "You eat, my brother-in-law and I haven't finished our work yet."

  Wang Qingwen saw that Chen Ling was going to clean the house, and followed behind with a broom and dustpan.

  Wang Susu hurried over when he saw this: "Don't worry about it, brother, I'll just take care of this work. You and A-Ling should hurry to eat. It's been a busy day, so go to rest early after dinner."

   After he said that, he grabbed the brooms in the hands of Chen Ling and Wang Qingwen, and drove them out.

   had no choice, so the two went to the well to wash and then went into the house to eat.

   Entering the room, looking at the table full of meat, Wang Qingwen still felt distressed, how could he eat this way?

   is just a waste of time.

  Chen Ling added a match at this time. Seeing Wang Qingwen stunned at the table and not moving his chopsticks, he smiled and said, "I have wine at home. I'll go get it. There aren't many dishes today, so let's have a drink."

  Wang Qingwen heard that there are not many dishes? How much is that?

   This kid just spoiled his parents and didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive.

   gave him a dull sentence: "Don't drink, eat."

   Pick up the chopsticks and shove the rice into the mouth, but there is more meat than the rice, and the head of a chopstick is full of meat, which is too extravagant.

   I still remember that when I was poor a few years ago, when I was eating meat during the Chinese New Year, I always chewed the meat slowly, and it was tasteless in my mouth before I was willing to swallow it, which is not like today.

   Not to mention, the more meat is fragrant, Wang Qingwen has never eaten such a delicious meal since he was a child.

   I thought that this kid is really good at cooking, but he just doesn’t know how to be frugal. Look at this half bowl of meat, the broth is soaked with rice, and the rice is full of oil. It’s delicious.

  Chen Ling eats fast, Wang Qingwen only ate half a bowl, and his bowl has bottomed out.

   Seeing that the little girl was still trying to cook rice, she took a chopstick of fish and went over.

   "Really, eat fish, eat fish is smart."

   The little girl looked up at him, wrinkled her little nose at him, and muttered, "I'm already smart."

   But immediately after eating the fish into his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help shouting, "This fish is delicious."

  Chen Ling laughed: "It's delicious, and the chicken is delicious too. This pheasant just grew up this year, the meat is very tender, and there is no earthy smell."

   "So this is a pheasant? I heard from my sister that Heiwa and Xiaojin can catch pheasant, is this what they caught?"

"Yeah, they often bring pheasants and rabbits to their homes, as well as long worms. At the beginning, they even went home to catch civet cats. They were just out of the nest, and they weren't very big. already."

   "The raccoon runs so fast, can they catch them too?"

"Didn't you say, just out of the nest, it's not easy to catch the big ones who can climb trees and go to the house. But the mountain raccoon is nothing. A few days ago, they blocked the nest of Badgerzi, that is, the badger's hole is too deep. Only caught one outside."

   "Wow, there are Badgers!"

  Wang Zhenzhen's eyes widened when he heard it, he threw his chopsticks on the table, and couldn't even think about eating.

   "Yeah, there are badgers, and the meat of the badgers is very delicious. If there is a chance, I will catch one for you and try it."

  The little doll was in a hurry. After listening to Chen Ling's words, Wang Zhenzhen couldn't sit still, and immediately asked, "Can I go tomorrow?"

   "No, there are wolves on the mountain recently, calling every night and sometimes running down the mountain. Badgers only come out of the cave at night, and there are wolves that can't be caught."

   "That's it."

  The little girl was immediately disappointed: "We also have a lot of wolves, and there is a wolf team in the stockade, right?"

  Wang Qingwen nodded, picked up the bowl and directly attached a piece of broth to his stomach, "The current wolf-fighting team is not as prestige as it used to be.

   In the past few years, the wolves in the mountains were very rampant, especially in the autumn and winter seasons. After dark, they would run into the village. If they were not careful, the barn would suffer. At that time, various communes would organize people to hunt wolves, riding horses, carrying guns, carrying food and water, and patrolling back and forth at night. Never stop running.

  Chenwangzhuang is not bad, there is a golden water river across it, even if there are not many wolves in the mountains.

   It will be miserable if you go further west. In the past, people were often bitten to death by wolves on the business road. In some villages, wolves even got into the house to eat children.

   "Brother, really, let's have another bowl, you have come so far, you can eat more."

  Chen Ling got up and picked up the bowls of the two, and was about to serve the rice.

   "No, I'll do it."

  Wang Qingwen waved his hand, turned his face and asked the little girl, "Do you really still eat?"

   "I can't eat it either. My brother-in-law cooks delicious food. I can't bear it."

  Wang Zhenzhen rubbed his stomach and laughed.

   Good guy, finally called brother-in-law, this made Chen Lingle bad, and his eyes were cracked with laughter.

   "It's alright if you can't eat it. Brother-in-law will cook it for you tomorrow."

   Let Wang Qingwen twitch from the corner of his eyes, and see how proud this kid is.

   At this moment, Wang Susu had packed his room, walked in and said, "Are you really full?"

   "I'm full, sister, why is my brother-in-law cooking so delicious? I want to stay at your house and not leave."

   "Then don't go away. We'll go back together when I and my brother-in-law go home in a while. But you have to sleep with my sister tonight, and my sister misses you."

   "Okay, okay, I miss my sister too. After my sister got married, I never slept with her."

  Wang really jumped up and down with joy, and didn't let go of his sister's arm.

   Not only did I see my sister today, but I also had such a good meal. She was really happy.

   Wang Susu looked at Chen Ling apologetically: "A Ling, you should sleep in the same room with our brother first."

   "I'm fine, I'll just go outside and sleep in the car tonight. Just as there is food in the yard, I won't drive home."

  Chen Ling shook his head, it would be awkward to sleep in the same room with his uncle, it would be better to sleep outside alone.

   "It's not too early, brother, take a shower with Zhenzhen earlier, and rest."

   "Tonight's food is oily and salty, Susu, remember to give it to Zhenzhen, prepare some water for my brother, don't make it salty."

After    ordered two sentences, Chen Ling pulled a matchlock and walked out.

   The remaining Wang Qingwen asked in a daze: "Is there a car outside? What car is Susu? Why didn't I see it when I came with Zhenzhen."

"It's a pickup truck driven by A Ling's friend. It's parked in the cross alley. It's busy without building a house, so I'll stay here. Whenever I want to buy something, I can go to the county town to buy it when I get in the car, but it's fast. ."

  Wang Qingwen was lost for a while when he heard the words, and after a long while he shook his head with a smile, and said in a complicated mood: "I didn't expect that I really did something for him."

   said to Wang Susu again: "Dad is not wrong, as long as this kid is willing to learn well, he is better than me."

  …

   "Rich, rich, how did you go last night, didn't you get beaten again?"

  In the early morning of the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, Chen Dazhi and Wang Lixian came over, and before they entered the house, Chen Dazhi's loud voice broke out.

  As we entered the yard, we saw Chen Ling and his uncle squatting beside the grape trellis, laying their bicycles upside down, where they were repairing tires.

   "That's not possible, it's Brother Dazhi, you are a little bit of a fire."

  Chen Ling turned the tire, looked up and replied with a smile.

   then said to Wang Qingwen: "The puncture is not too big. It's just that the tire has been around for a long time, and it's a little bit old. It's almost sticking to the outer tire, both front and rear, or two new tires."

   "Okay, if you can't make it up, you can replace it with a new one. It's time to replace it."

   Wang Qingwen nodded.

  Then got up and handed two cigarettes to Chen Dazhi and the three of them stood aside and started talking.

   When Chen Ling and Wang Susu got married, he drank with the two of them. Compared with other people, he was familiar with them, but they could chat quickly.

   Slowly, everyone who came to help came over after having breakfast.

Wang Qingwen also came forward to give cigarettes to say hello. Although he was a guest, it was Uncle Chen Ling. He couldn't do any work when he came, so today he also listened to the arrangement of Chen Dazhi and Wang Lixian to work. .

  Chen Ling is busy with whatever, just take care of the people.

   "Really, really, don't watch the rabbit, your brother-in-law is calling you."

Chen Ling is going to drive to the city. There was a lot of meat left in the pot yesterday. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law didn't eat much. They simmered for a night on a low fire. Today, I don't need to buy them specially, mainly for my brother-in-law. Two new tires, but also to fill up the car.

   Zhao Dahai came to help, so I didn’t say anything about leaving the car. I brought food on the day I came, and even asking people to pay for the oil was too much to say.

   In addition, the eggs and duck eggs at home should be sold again.

   These days, people from the family mainly eat meat, but I don’t eat much of eggs, so I have almost two baskets.

  It's hot, so it's better to sell it early.

  In addition to grain and vegetables, eggs are the best-selling products on the market. Eggs and duck eggs used to be used as hard currency, so there is no need to worry about selling them.

   In addition to these, I also need to buy some new clothes for Wang Zhenzhen. The little girl will live longer this time, so she can't even have a change of clothes.

   "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what are you calling me to do?"

  The little girl ran out.

   "I'm going to the city, are you going?"

   "Are you going by car?"

   "Sure, I won't let you ride in the car when you come."

   "I'm going, I'm going, I haven't been in a car since I was a kid."

   Wang Zhen was really happy when he heard that he was going to take a car.

  This girl used to guard the little rabbit that just came out of the nest at home at breakfast and wouldn't move, but now she doesn't care.

   "Brother-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go back and get the money."

   "What money do you want, what brother-in-law wants to buy for you."

  Chen Ling smiled and tugged at her braid. Early this morning, she wrapped a big red envelope for this girl and put five old people's heads. The little girl who has never received so much money is so excited.

   counted back and forth several times, and finally asked my sister to help save it because Wang Qingwen was afraid that he would be punished after seeing it.

   "But I still want to buy a stationery box, an eraser, and a ballpoint pen."

   "Buy, my brother-in-law will buy it for you."

   "Can you bring Heiwa and Xiaojin with you too?"

   "Yes, as long as you are happy today, you can do whatever you want."

Chen Ling drove the pickup out of the cross alley, and Wang Zhenzhen couldn't wait to climb up with two dogs. His eyes were full of novelty. .
