My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 206 Second Pregnancy Test

   In the next few days, the construction progress of the farm has slowed down a lot. After all, wooden buildings and bamboo buildings are not like brick and tile buildings.

  Chen Ling couldn't help with this either. His work these days was to plan and plant trees with Wang Lixian and Qin Rongxian.

  Because the fruit forest has to make room for the farm, and several tree-lined paths have to be built in the fruit forest, many fruit trees have to be planed down.

   But that's okay.

  When Chen Ling planted saplings, he left a relatively large space for fruit trees.

  After planing, just find a clearing place for transplanting.

   Trees transplanted in late autumn and early winter have a high survival rate, not to mention that Chen Ling's Dongtian Lingshui is not a decoration.

   Surely you don’t have to worry about fruit trees dying.

   In the past few days, with more and more work, Qin Rongxian and Liang Yuemin gradually became more and more comfortable.

  The father and son helped Chen Ling plan the tree, and they didn't forget to give Chen Ling a suggestion, saying that after the frame of the farm was built, let him have time to plant two bamboo forests inside and outside the farm and build a small pavilion.

  In the summer, there is no need for fans and electric fans to cool off. You can hide in the bamboo forest directly, and you can enjoy the coolness, play chess in the pavilion, and drink a few glasses of juice on ice. It is definitely a kind of enjoyment.

  Chen Ling couldn't help but applaud, this suggestion was quite in line with his heart.

  Because he also has to lead two streams from the two sides of the mountain to surround the farm, and then pour it into the lotus pond as living water. In this case, it is absolutely perfect to plant two bamboo forests to complement each other.

   After he told the two of the idea.

   The father and son became more and more excited as they listened, as if they were already there.

Liang Yuemin even waved his arms and chanted: "...There are lofty mountains and lofty mountains, lush forests and bamboos, and clear and turbulent currents, which are reflected on the left and right sides, leading them to think that the water is flowing, and sit next... This idea is really good, it can be said to live up to it. A nice view."

   Good guy, I have carried the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" on my back.

   Next to Wang Lixian, clutching his cheeks, his teeth were sore.

   Reading poetry at every turn, what's wrong with that? !

   Are all the people in the capital such a foreigner?

  Being together for many days, he and Liang Yuemin are relatively familiar with each other. This person is easy to approach, without the arrogance of a rich man, but he just makes a few sour words at every turn that the peasants cannot understand.

   gave me goosebumps.

  Chen Ling has long been accustomed to this eldest brother's Wen Qing disease, but he doesn't feel any discomfort.

Instead, he added a few words with a smile: "Wang Xizhi said that although there is no silk and bamboo orchestra, one sing and one chant is enough to describe the feelings... They don't have much silk and bamboo, but there are a lot of them in our village. I will borrow a few pieces for Brother Yuemin. , let you play the flute and pipa here, you will definitely enjoy it."

   These words came to the heart of Liang Yuemin's heart, and he immediately clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, okay."

  The two men were carrying shovels, wearing rubber shoes, and their trousers were covered in dirt, but they were talking happily.

   Hearing Wang Lixian's brows jumping.

  I thought to myself, it's over, it's over, this baby Fugui has also learned badly from the people in the capital, and also started to burn the cotton shop - burnt and wrapped it up.

   Liang Yuemin didn't know what Wang Lixian was muttering to them in his heart.

   On the contrary, the more I think about it, the more excited I become, and the more I get more motivated.

   In the next few days, I drove a car over early in the morning every day, and cut out a large piece of trees in the place that was originally divided outside the farmhouse, leaving it as a preparation for planting bamboo forests here after the farmhouse was built.

  For the sake of the bamboo forest, he came here every day to plan the trees.

   In the past six months, the fruit tree seedlings have been planted, and they have taken root and grown steadily, and because Chen Ling has sprayed the diluted spiritual water with a sprayer, the roots are very deep.

   It takes a lot of effort to plan down a tree.

   However, Liang Yuemin did not stop in the middle, digging the soil with a shovel, and digging down the roots of the tree in one breath before stopping to rest for a while.

   This kind of energy made Chen Ling couldn't help but sigh a few words.

   I remember that when Liang Yuemin first came to the house, he was still very polite, and it was difficult to carry bags of rice. He had to rely on him to help, but now he is also a man who can work.

  Liang Yuemin listened to his compliment, he smiled, bent his arms twice, showed his slightly firm biceps to Chen Ling and Qin Rongxian, and said that he would definitely be able to push it if he went to Chen Ling's house for grinding.

  When everyone heard this, they laughed at him for blowing the air. For such a big mill, the strong man in the village had to push it together by two people.

   Then he continued to plan trees while talking and laughing.

  Planing a tree is not an easy job, no matter how hard you are, you can plan a dozen trees together, and you need to transplant and water them.

   Came over at 7:00 in the morning and worked for nearly two hours. Liang Yuemin and his son were so tired that they were out of breath and didn't want to move.

   He didn't even want to eat the breakfast sent by Wang Susu, sitting on the tree stump outside the grass hut, wiping sweat and panting heavily.

  Wang Lixian is fine, even if his waist is not very good, but the toughness and endurance of a farmer man are not comparable to ordinary people, just rest with the two of them, and prepare to eat breakfast slowly.

   At this time, the engineering team had come to work.

  Chen Ling greeted them. Seeing that Liang Yuemin and the three of them didn't want to eat very much now, he was not in a hurry to eat, so he walked to the stove, opened the stove door, added firewood, and prepared to prepare the dog food first.

   Cooking for dogs is easy, just cook a pot of corn gooey as usual.

   The firewood was very strong, and Chen Ling prepared the dog food in about ten minutes.

   He took the pot off the stove and let it cool. Then, seeing that the wood in the iron stove had not been burnt out, he went to the grass shed and took out a few sweet potatoes, opened the stove door and put them in.

There are two kinds of sweet potatoes here, one is white sweet potato, the flesh is white, and the flesh is very large, one can weigh a pound, but the flesh has a lot of silk inside, and it tastes dry. It's not very sweet, and it's always choking. Now most of them are mainly used as potato flour.

The other is ocean sweet potato, the flesh is red, it tastes fragrant and sweet, very soft, and it is easier to swallow than white sweet potato, so in most cases, they mainly eat this kind of ocean sweet potato .

   After a while, the corn in the pot cooled down a little, and Chen Ling went to the side to feed the dog.

   After feeding the dog, the sweet potatoes in the hearth were also roasted, they were all pulled out, knocked off the burnt ash on the top, and they called Liang Yuemin and the three to come and eat.

The three of them had been waiting for the sweet potatoes to be roasted. At this time, they got up and didn't even bother to wash their hands. They each picked up one and nibbled at it. The yellow and hot roasted sweet potatoes made people drool just by looking at them. , It was even more sweet and sweet when it was eaten in the mouth, and it was quickly wiped out by the four of them.

  The roasted sweet potatoes were eaten, and the stomach was warm. They had been working hard all morning, and they were completely relieved at this time, so they took advantage of the situation to eat breakfast.

   "Good guy, rich and noble, what are you eating in the morning? It's so delicious."

   When the few people devoured the breakfast, a few village wives came over with their dolls on their backs, laughing and joking.

   "Whatever you can eat, millet porridge is pickles."

  Chen Ling wiped his mouth, stood up and put away the tableware.

   "Isn't it? People work for you, so you'll let them eat this?"

   "What are you going to eat if you don't eat this? You can't have a lot of fish and meat in the morning, how tired and crooked."

   "Ouch, we Chenwangzhuang only dare to say this if you are rich and noble, and if you want to eat meat, who cares which meal you eat..."

  The ladies chatted for a few words, but before they could say they were happy, they were dragged by the dolls to the side to look at the cars and the workers sawing wood.

   Not long after, the older dolls in the village, such as Liu Nier and the others, all ran over.

Since the start of construction of Chen Ling's farm, the little boys in these villages have been there every day. They will watch here for a long time when they come. Whenever various machines are turned on, they will be excited one by one, especially when the foundation is just started. , the rammers, mixers, and various machines take turns on the field, and they are reluctant to leave when it’s time to eat, but their parents come and go back with their ears.

   "Uncle Fugui, someone over there told you to come over there."

  Chen Ling sent home the food box and chopsticks, and as soon as he brought the cattle and sheep over, Liu Nier ran up to him and said.

  Chen Ling hurriedly walked over, "What's the matter, Lao Gao, is there any problem?"

   Lao Gao was the foreman this time. When he saw him coming, he pointed to the wooden corridor with a roughly framed wooden corridor: "Do you still plan to lay the open space outside this building and the floor of the corridor?"

   "Shop, at least the floor of the corridor must be paved, what's wrong?"

   "It's nothing, I just want to ask you, what do you use for paving the floor, cement, stone, or blue brick? If you use cement, it's ready-made. Others are not enough. Your wall is a bit long."

   "Well, I see, the ground is paved now?"

"No, isn't it about to end at the end of the month? In the twelfth lunar month, we will stop work here. I think it would be easy if you use cement to lay the ground. If you use other floors, prepare in advance during this time. That way we can finish it in one go when we start work next year."

Lao Gao knows that this master thinks differently from ordinary people, and normal people are tinkering with these things in the valleys now, but everyone knows people who are capable, and they are happy to give money, so they can only ask clearly in advance and discuss it is good.

   Otherwise, they will have to rework if they are not satisfied at that time.

   They are not afraid of not giving money, but they are afraid that it will not work here and there, and it will be too troublesome to rework.

   "Would it work with stones? Just that kind of pebbles?"

  Chen Ling thought about it and asked.

   "Pebbles? Just those river rocks? Yes."

   Lao Gao nodded and said in his heart that his thoughts were different from others.

  At the moment, the river bottom stone can be said to be the least valuable stone.

   He really didn't expect Chen Ling to want to use this.

   At this time, I heard Chen Ling say again: "The floor of the corridor is paved with cobblestones. In other places, the paths in the woods and the outside of the building, we should use bluestone slabs."

   "Also, the bluestone slabs are enough, and the rocks at the bottom of the river have to pull a few carts."

   Lao Gao pondered for a while and said more.

   After the agreement was reached, Chen Ling was ready to pull the pebbles.

   You don’t need to go to the quarry to buy this thing. There are so many floodplains everywhere, one place is not enough, just find a few more places.

   Liang Yuemin and his son also came to help after hearing about it.

   So in the morning, Chen Ling drove the tractor and carried the two of them to look for rocks.

   By noon, not only did the cobblestones bring back two carts full of them, but also some strange-shaped large stones. Chen Ling planned to put these strange stones in the farmhouse and the forest after the farm was completed, which would also add some interest.

  The next day after pulling the stones, all the fruit trees were transplanted.

   The end of November of the lunar calendar is only a few days away. The weather is getting colder and colder. The day when the farm stops working is getting closer and closer, and at the same time, it is getting closer and closer to the day when Wang Lixian's family Si Nier gets married.

   After finishing the chores that day, Chen Ling drove the tractor, went to Wangbacheng with Wang Lixian, and pulled back a car of roof tiles.

   This is what Wang Lixian wants to buy. Before his daughter gets married, he is going to take off the old tiles on the roof of the house and replace them with new ones. The in-laws come over and look better.

   Actually, it is very common to change the tiles in the countryside. If you live in a brick house, you will check the tiles on the roof every year at the end of the year.

   See which tile is broken and needs to be replaced with a new one.

   This kind of leak detection is commonly known as "picking tiles".

   This year, most households in Chenwangzhuang do not need to pick tiles, because they are all new houses renovated after the flood.

  Only the house of Wang Lixian's family has not been affected by the flood this year.

   There is only one month left before the Chinese New Year, and my daughter is getting engaged again, so the tiles on the house should be changed at this time.

   Changing tiles is not a hassle, let alone Wang Lixian's good style.

   So in the next two days, Chen Ling asked Qin Rongxian and his son to take over the job of supervising, while he went to help Wang Lixian change the tiles. The two worked together for less than two days, and all the roofs were replaced with new tiles.

  These days, under the influence of the engineering team and Wang Lixian, he has become more and more handy in all kinds of work.

  Chen Ling felt that if he were to become a mason now, he could also be a good player in it, and he might be able to earn a big job with more practice.

  …

  The days go by like this, and November will soon be over.

  November of the lunar calendar seems to pass the fastest every year. People haven't been prepared for it yet.

   In the first month, the construction progress of the farm was not fast, only half of it was completed, but the emphasis was on quality, not speed. Chen Ling was still very satisfied with this.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, there is nothing to be busy with. After the engineering team in the city left, Chen Ling first sent Wang Zhenzhen, who was on winter vacation, home, and then Liang Hongyu and his wife wanted to return to the capital. He and Wang Susu went to have a meal. , During the period, I will naturally not miss the engagement of Wang Lixian's family Si Ni'er.

   In short, it’s just eating, drinking, and having fun, nothing else.

   But the weather is getting colder and colder.

I could still see the sun a month ago, but now even the sun is gone. The whole day is gloomy, the cold wind is blowing, and the birds outside don’t cry much. Chickens, ducks, pigeons, and rabbits are all huddled in their nests. Willing to come out.

  Chen Ling is too lazy to move these days, holding a teapot all day long, standing by the stove, reading and reading newspapers with his wife.

   As time went by, Wang Susu's stomach also swelled up like a face.

   It's just that her figure is thin, and she doesn't look very obvious after wearing a cotton coat.

   And the reactions of other pregnant women did not appear on Wang Susu, except for a big belly, there was no special change.

  No stretch marks, no smell, no morning sickness.

   She can eat and sleep every day, and her body is clean and white, as if the supplements such as goat milk and pig trotters that Chen Ling prepared for her have grown to the child in her chest and stomach.

  Chen Ling is quite satisfied with this.

  Wang Susu was very uneasy, and felt ashamed that her chest was too full.

  Chen Ling had no choice but to comfort him. This is because his own baby is smart. He knows that the army and horses are not moving, and the food and grass will go first, so he prepares the rations in advance.

   You can recover after giving birth to a doll.

   The little daughter-in-law was dubious.

  On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the temperature was even colder than the previous days. Chen Ling wrapped his daughter-in-law in a wolfskin coat and a wolfskin hat, dressed like a female bandit, and went to the county hospital for a routine checkup.

   After completing the examination, it was found that there were quite a few patients coming to the hospital in the twelfth lunar month. They rested for a while in the small courtyard in the south of the city, and only went to get the examination results in the afternoon.

After taking the test results to the doctor, the doctor took a close look at the report and said to Wang Susu: "Daughter, your body is a little too good. I have been in the obstetrics and gynecology department for many years, and I have never seen you like this. What is the pregnancy reaction, the baby in the belly is not noisy, you look at the few pregnant women in front of you, which one didn't vomit so darkly that he almost spit out the core of his throat..."

   "You're good, you don't have any reaction, you can eat, drink and sleep, which is strange."

  The doctor is an elderly lady who said with a smile.

   It is normal to not have one or two reactions during pregnancy, but there is no such thing as Wang Susu. I feel that there is no problem other than a big belly, and even my temper has not changed much.

   is almost the same as before pregnancy, which is very rare.

  Chen Ling and the couple looked at each other and laughed, who wouldn't want to listen to good words.

After the doctor said a few words, he said to Chen Ling: "Although the daughter-in-law is in good health, the things that should be avoided should be avoided. Remember to take these things to heart, don't be careless, and check again when you have time in the new year. ."

   helped Wang Susu to stand up gently, Chen Ling nodded in response, he would have paid attention even if the doctor didn't say anything about it.
