My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 131 Changes

   In addition to the clothes, the bedding should be disassembled and washed again. The sheets and curtains were bought before the house was built, but the bamboo grate in the kitchen should be new.

   There are also two sets of fences and grass mats, which are prepared for the poultry, dogs and cattle at home. The current ones are too shabby and can only be used for coping.

  The new home must have a new atmosphere, and it is impossible to keep living.

   In this way, there are quite a few odd jobs.

   But Wang Susu enjoyed it.

  She is different from Chen Ling, she has a restless temperament.

   Always tidy up your home, otherwise you will feel restless.

   At first Chen Ling also persuaded her to take a break, but after persuading her several times, Wang Susu just smiled.

   Turn around, it’s time to keep busy or keep busy.

   After a long time, Chen Ling got used to it and didn't say anything more.

   It's just that some tasks don't need to be done in a hurry, Chen Ling will deliberately pull her to his side, read newspapers to her, or read a few pages of novels to her, so that she can also listen to the stories and relax.

  Wang Susu knew what he was thinking, but he always let him. If her husband loves her and treats her well, she will only feel happy and happy, so how can she refuse?

   After such a long time, the relationship between husband and wife has become deeper and more tacit.

   On August 12, after the young couple sent Wang Qingwen away early in the morning, Wang Susu was going to go to the fields with Chen Ling to weed. The peanuts and soybeans in the field have been planted for a month, and each is about two acres, so I don't say much, but I have been busy since I harvested the vegetables, so I didn't care about it.

   Now it's time to **** and weed and water.

   "Really, my brother-in-law and I are going to work in the fields, are you going?"

   "If I don't go to my sister, I still have to find Xizi and Liunier to play."

  As soon as Wang Qingwen left, Wang Zhenzhen was no longer restrained, and happily put on new clothes and sandals, and ran out to play with the little dolls in the village like a pony.

   "You are not allowed to play by the water, you know?"

   "I know, don't worry, brother-in-law."

This girl came to the village, and after two days, she got mixed up with the little dolls in the village. She played tricks with Liu Ni'er and the others all day long. She climbed a tree two days ago and made itchy hottie sting her leg. Wang Qingwen was with her. I didn't dare to speak out, for fear of being scolded. When I went home and told Wang Susu secretly, my calf was swollen, and the pain was gone after applying the medicine. I took Heiwa Xiaojin to chase pheasants and rabbits. She was playing, and every day she didn't have a good meal and ran to call her.

   has now become the eldest sister of Chen Wangzhuang's little dolls.

   made Chen Ling sigh several times, just because this girl is crazy, no wonder she can save more than fifty dollars just by catching scorpions.

   It's just that Wang Susu feels that her sister is always playing here, and it's not easy to explain to her parents.

   But she was reluctant to ask her to reprimand her sister a few words.

   "It's alright, let her play, she'll be a big girl in two years, and she won't have a chance to play like this again."

Chen Ling smiled at his daughter-in-law: "It's really smart, you don't have to worry about her studying all the time. Tomorrow I will go to the county town to find a school and ask, if there is no problem, I will send her to school after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will only play for another month. , With this girl's cleverness, that little assignment is not a problem."

"Know it."

  Wang Susu wrinkled his nose at him and handed him a straw hat.

She just thinks that her sister has been playing for too long. She has been on vacation for two months and then encountered a big flood. She has never started school. She is always playing crazy everywhere. I'm really relegated.

   Then he glanced at the two dogs that had slipped out the door, and shouted, "You two don't panic and run wild, first help drive the rabbits into the nest before going."

   Now the three litters of little rabbits are more than a month old, they can't stay in the nest, they always want to run out.

  When the young couple is at home, it's okay to let them out and play for a while. With Heiwa and Xiaojin helping to watch, they can't get lost.

   But when you go out, you can't do it. Now the gate is not repaired, only the gate is blocked. The gap in the fence is large. Even if the waterway is blocked, they can escape through the gap.

   Drive them all back to their nests before going out, and use a fence to block them again.

But there are so many rabbits, there are almost forty big and small, she and Chen Ling are too laborious to catch, blocked here, run over there, there are two dogs to help, but it can save a lot of trouble .

Wang Susu took the two dogs and drove them into the den together, and went back to the house to carry the Liangbaikai full of water bottles. Chen Ling went to lead the cow and the hoe. When Wang Susu locked the door with the water bottle, the two of them went to the door. Go to the field.

  Recently, every household in the village has built new houses. Except for a few old houses that no one cares about, all of them have been built into brick houses. Looking around, they are full of blue bricks and black tiles.

   Compared to before, Chen Wangzhuang has also changed into a new look.

   After leaving the village, there are many people doing farm work in the fields. The corn has grown to half a person’s height, and it’s time to irrigate.

   This year, the old river bay has widened again, and the nearby ravines are also full of water, which is more convenient for watering.

Cotton and sorghum planted on sloping fields. At this time, a few people bent over in the fields to top the cotton and topped the cotton. If it is too small, it will always go to the top, and if it is not good to knot cotton peach, the output of cotton will be greatly reduced, which will affect the harvest.

  The young couple walked on the field road, in the end they felt very different from before.

   is often greeted before a few steps, even if it is far away, someone shouts and jokes with them, and there are enthusiastic smiles everywhere.

Fortunately, Chen Ling is used to it now, and he will not be impatient. When he talks, he will stop and chat appropriately, stop and go along the way, and when he arrives at his own farm, the young couple will also chat about this person and that person in the village. Case.

   Talking and working quickly, he hoeed half an acre of grass before he knew it.

   At this time, it was already noon. This was the speed after Chen Ling's farm work became more and more comfortable. After all, it was not a work of strength.

However, the two of them are young and strong, and they work much faster than ordinary people, not to mention that there is water and food in the cave every day to nourish, ordinary people can do one-third of the work in half a day, and they can make an acre in half a day. Hoe the grass on the ground and clear it out.

   looked up at the sun, and it was probably past twelve o'clock. When they came, the two planned to bring the water from the small ditch at the foot of the mountain to water the peanuts and soybeans. Now it seems that they have to wait for the afternoon.

   If it was just the two of them, it wouldn't be a problem to go back to eat after watering. The key is that my sister-in-law is here, so I can't let my sister-in-law go hungry.

   Put down their hoes, and the two of them sat on the field ridge to rest for a while. They were drinking water when they suddenly heard Xiaobai mooing at the foot of the mountain. Wang Susu hurriedly got up and walked over. When he saw it, he was immediately startled.

   "Look, A Ling, I don't know what's the head here."

Chen Ling walked up to him and took a look, saying it was a head, but it was actually a half-animal skull, not too big, and he could still see the teeth in his mouth, which were dirty and lying quietly by the edge of the ditch. Although it was dried in the sun and could not smell any odor, there were still many flies surrounding it, and they were reluctant to leave.

   "Could it be that the wolf ate the leftovers?"

   "It is estimated that there are more and more wolves on the mountain recently."

  Chen Ling looked around, and then comforted his daughter-in-law: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. There are many dogs in our village, and they will bark when there is movement. It is impossible for a wolf to sneak into the village."

   "It's not this, I'm worried that we will build a village here in the future, and raise something, it will be bad if the wolf goes down the mountain."

  Wang Susu said worriedly.

After all, seeing that there are almost two baskets of eggs and duck eggs every month, and quails and rabbits are also littered every month, according to this posture, that little space at home is definitely not enough. Since Chen Ling said that he wanted to build another big one in the field, She also approves of it.

   It's just that there are more and more wolves on the mountain, and it makes people feel less at ease.

   In fact, even if wolves can't get in, it's not enough if they are always harassed, and it's easy to cause fright to poultry and livestock.

   Frightened poultry are prone to not laying eggs, and sometimes they are frightened to get sick. Birds get sick, and the infection is very fast. If they are not careful, they will die a lot, and the indirect losses caused are not small.

   Even if the livestock is a little better, it is not much better. Pigs and sheep are timid by nature, and they are easily frightened by wolves. It is common to not eat or drink for a few days.

  Wang Susu's concerns are not unreasonable.

"It doesn't matter. When our house was built and invited to drink a few days ago, we talked about it at the wine table, and the fifth uncle also said that we can't continue like this. I'm going to help our team apply for more before we go hunting in the mountains. A few shotguns came down, and if nothing else, the wolves on the surrounding mountains were stabbed a few times until they were too scared to go down the mountain."

  Chen Ling smiled and comforted his daughter-in-law.

  There are so many men in the village entering the mountain all of a sudden, leaving old and young wives and children, how can you rest assured that dealing with wolves has long been planned.

  Otherwise, now the villagers are afraid to go into the mountains alone, and they are always frightened when they want to collect some medicine or manage wild things for money. How can this be done?

  It's better to drive the wolf away early.

   Hearing what Chen Ling said, Wang Susu let out a long breath and felt relieved.

  Chen Ling smiled when he saw this, took his daughter-in-law's hand, and called the little white cow to go home.

   "Let's go, go home and cook, it's past twelve o'clock, I'm afraid I'm already hungry."

"Um."

  …

   Weeding, watering, busy all day.

   When the sun was about to set in the evening, the young couple held shovels and filled up the several canals that led water from the ditch with soil.

  In the field where the grass was hoeed today and watered, every thin peanut and bean sprout straightened up.

  The vegetable garden did not forget to water it.

  In addition to the leeks growing again in the field, I don't know where a few pumpkins have sprung up. Perhaps it was somewhat affected by Chen Ling's watering before. Wang Susu steamed two at night, and it was fragrant, soft and sweet, very delicious.

The   cooked pumpkin porridge is also very sweet.

As for other vegetables, beans, loofah, etc., Chen Ling never watered them again. Even if they grow again, they are already old, and the branches and vines start to wither and turn yellow. For bowl.

   The next day, Chen Ling went to the county seat to help Wang Zhenzhen go to school.

  Some people who knew about this in advance came over early in the morning, and wanted Chen Ling to help him find out if he could let his baby go too. They don't want their children to run around all day, and they will go into the mountains some days. Only the elderly and mother-in-law are at home. The little children dare to do anything just to play. If something happens, it is too late to regret .

   Or send it to school to have a teacher take care of it.

  Chen Ling also responded to this one by one, and built a house to bring him closer to most people in the village. This kind of communication is not a bad thing.

After sending the people away one after another, Wang Susu went to the field to herd cattle, and by the way, he had to cut grass for the rabbits, and then did the chores at home in the afternoon, otherwise it would be too hot in the afternoon, and there would be few people working in the fields. The farm is far away from the other home, it is really called Tian Tian should not work, and the ground is not working.

Chen Ling was not in a hurry to go to the county seat, because Wang Lixian's family, Wu Ni'er, was admitted to university, and the notice was sent two days ago, but this year's situation was special, and it was delayed for a month, and the school started after August 15th. But getting into college is always a happy event.

  Especially in the mountain village, there was a college student, but it was incredible, why should I celebrate it?

The person Wang Lixian should have notified about the wine has already notified him. Today, he is going to the county seat to collect the bonus. Wu Nier has enough scores and the school did not report any omissions, so he is eligible to receive the money, but he will not talk to the public. When dealing with him, I was afraid of saying bad things and wanted Chen Ling to accompany him along the way.

  Chen Ling naturally didn't have much to say. He waited at home for him to go to the village committee to open a letter. He fed the rabbits at home, went to the lotus pond to add two spoons of stream water, and fed some steamed buns to the fish in the pond.

  Not only the fish sent by Han Chuang, but also the red eel fry in the original tank at home were also put into the pond. At first, Wang Susu was reluctant. But Chen Ling said that it doesn't grow much in a water tank. It's still more than one long after three months. Anyway, no one is willing to pay for this stuff now, so it's better to put it in the pool.

Later, two of them were put in first. After seven or eight days, they really grew up a lot. Wang Susu agreed. Now that Chen Ling came over to add water to feed them, they also swam to the surface of the water among the fish, and they floated in red and beautiful. Each of them is about thirty centimeters in length, which is really beautiful.

After admiring the fish for a while, he released the pigeons in the cave. Chen Ling ignored them for a few days, and had long been suffocated in it. As soon as they were released, they flew around the yard and finally landed on the roof. Walking back and forth along the eaves, constantly screeching, but refusing to come down, Chen Ling simply ignored them.

   In addition to pigeons, the eggs of the golden pheasant have also hatched into chicks long ago, but it didn't take long, it didn't grow up in more than a month, and it was not as bright and beautiful as the adult golden pheasant.

   This red-bellied golden pheasant, Chen Ling, is not going to be released. It is also a hassle to release it too conspicuously. It is better to keep it for yourself.

   "Fugui, the letter has been opened, ready to go!"

"coming."

  Wang Lixian opened a good letter and called to him, and the two went to the county town together.

   It didn't take long for the matter to be completed smoothly. When he came back, Wang Lixian was so happy that he bought some good cigarettes and wine. He also had more than ten kilograms of pork. He was going to invite someone over tonight to celebrate his daughter.

   "Fugui came over early in the afternoon, let's kill the sheep."

"Row."

Since the big ram of Wang Lixian's family was gelded last time, the meat has grown so fast. It happened that Wu Ni'er was admitted to a good university this time, so let's not mention the happiness. I was going to save it until the end of the year to sell it. Now directly kill the meat to celebrate.

   On August 13th, Chen Ling took his wife and sister-in-law to Wang Lixian's house for a meal, and they had a good relationship, no outsiders, until the middle of the night.

  As a result, on the 14th of August, two more families gave birth to a full moon wine. They were both of the younger generation. After they resumed contact with Chen Ling, they called him over.

  So Chen Ling had nothing else to do these two days, just brought his wife and sister-in-law, and went home to eat, happily and lively, until August 15th.
