My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 255 Pharmacy in Autumn

   The young couple walked to the house in the village while talking.

   Recently, Wang Cunye and his wife moved here with Wang Zhenzhen. The pigeons don't have to worry about feeding the pigeons.

   So the two of them didn't come back very much, and now it's time to go home to have a look.

   But unexpectedly, their conversation just now was overheard.

   Now most of the villagers are on the dam outside the village. There are no people in the village, and the two of them didn't pay attention to controlling their voices.

  However, when this man heard their words, his reaction stopped strange.

   This is a very thin man, with a slightly purple face and a slightly sick appearance. He is holding a red cloth. It seems that he is also going to the dam to worship "Lord Turtle".

   But at this time, suddenly after Chen Ling and Wang Susu walked past, they stopped, frowned and thought for a while, then hurriedly turned around and walked back.

   This strange man, Chen Ling and the two of them naturally didn't notice. When they got home, they just carried their son around the flowers and grape trellis in the courtyard.

   "In the coming year, Rui Rui will grow up and be able to run to the ground, so I will open a pharmacy in the village..."

  Wang Susu hugged her son, holding a bunch of red grapes in one hand, and said with longing eyes.

   Wang Chunyuan, who is opposite, has already opened the medicine shop, but there are no people. The villagers have a headache and a small problem, and they all go to Chen Guoping.

   And those from outside, from the county seat and other places, all came to look for Wang Susu.

   Even if you are pregnant and have a baby, there are still many people who come looking for them.

   Many of them came here last year, so she would just show them one or two times, so she would come for a run when the weather was good when she was far away.

   This made her a little proud.

   It is inevitable to keep thinking about this.

   "Okay, it's winter this year, and there's nothing to worry about. I'll go to Uncle Sangui to get you two Chinese medicine cabinets."

Chen Ling looked at the son in her arms and said in her heart that just because of the virtues of this stinky boy, you expect to open a pharmacy next year. Rui Hui ran away, I will help you watch him, and if you are all right, you will come to the village to sit in the clinic and see the doctor."

"Yeah."

  Wang Susu became more and more longing upon hearing this, and her eyes lit up.

   "If I'm not busy, I can go up the mountain to collect herbs for you. The last time my father and I went into the mountain, it was really full of herbs..."

   "After picking it up, I have learned from my father, drying, powdering, and processing. We won't have to buy medicinal materials at that time."

  Chen Ling continued talking, making the little daughter-in-law excited.

   After that, he chatted with him non-stop, holding his son and turning around, beaming like a little girl.

When I returned to the farm, I was walking on the road outside the village, humming a little song and walking briskly. The excited look made Chen Ling laugh secretly, thinking that she would be able to jump if she was still holding her son. Jump and run back.

  I was in a happy mood, and the little daughter-in-law's appetite increased. Gao Xiulan's newly steamed steamed buns killed three at once.

   But at night, she was not happy.

  Nothing else, Rui Rui, who had finally survived for two days, started tossing again.

   It won't work even in a stroller. He has to be carried around in his arms at night to make him feel comfortable.

"It's not like I didn't take him out to play today, so his little eyes are not idle, look here, look over there, you should be tired of looking at things, why are you still sleepy? "

  Chen Ling hugged his son with a frown, feeling a little regretful for the first time in his heart.

  I regret that I brought this little thing to the cave too early. This energetic person is dedicated to staring at him and Wang Susu tossing, this is not a sin.

   "How do I know, A Ling, you said he would run away, will you be calm?"

  Wang Susu also had a sad face. She was most afraid that her son would cry, but she felt very flustered when her son cried, as if the sky was about to fall.

   Although in most cases, my son prefers to toss with Chen Ling.

   But in such a time, if you let her sleep and rest, it is impossible to fall asleep.

   "Rui Rui is so troublesome, I always feel that my medicine store will not work."

   In the words of modern people, it is her life dream to open a small pharmacy and treat people...

   But dreams are not as important as a son, so it’s useless to think about them.

   "You stinky boy, look at your mother, can't you sleep well at night?"

  Chen Ling pinched his son's small body, held him in the air, stared fiercely at the little guy and said.

The little guy was not afraid at all, but was very happy, grinning and grinning, looking at Chen Ling, his two calves couldn't stop swaying. look.

   "Hurry up and put him down, his little body is so soft, don't hurt him." Wang Susu frowned worriedly when she saw that Chen Ling had lifted her son up.

  Chen Ling sighed softly and put his son down, he really couldn't do anything about this little thing.

   "I took him out for a walk. It's almost the beginning of autumn. Now it's very cool at night, and there are no mosquitoes flying."

   "Okay, turn around twice and come back quickly, it's cold at night."

"I know."

  Chen Ling greeted his daughter-in-law and walked down from the bamboo building with his son in his arms.

  The farmhouse is quiet at night. Now this season, it is not far from the beginning of autumn. It will be cooler after night in the mountains, and even the sounds of insects and frogs will become much weaker.

   Fortunately, there is a moon tonight, and the moonlight is quiet and silent, as if it also knew that autumn is coming, and it fell on the ground with a little coolness.

   also reflects the sparkling water of the canals and lotus ponds.

   You can even see a snail crawling slowly on the bluestone slab in the courtyard.

  The farmhouse under the moonlight is also very beautiful.

   After Chen Ling walked down with his son in his arms, Heiwa Xiaojin heard the movement and ran over happily wagging his tail.

   With their intelligence, they naturally know that Rui Rui is the little master.

Seeing that Chen Ling came out with the little guy in his arms, the two guys jumped around Chen Ling and jumped so high that they looked into Chen Ling's arms, as if they were saying that they also wanted to see the little baby. Same.

   "Here, you can see if you want."

  Chen Ling squatted down with a smile and touched the heads of the two dogs to bring them closer to the son in his arms.

   "It's just that the little thing can't run, and when it does, I can give it to you to take him, and I can save some snacks."

   As soon as he said these words, the guy made Heiwa Xiaojin so happy, he looked at Rui Rui, his mouth was humming, his ears were behind his back, and his tail was about to break.

Heiwa was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He rolled around on the ground and rolled around. This Dahan dog is the most funny, making Rui Rui so happy that he grinned and said, "Yeah." babble" said his baby language again.

  Xiaojin is more stable, but it is also happy, wagging its tail and humming non-stop.

   If it weren't for the night, it must have been yelling excitedly.

   Now, he is just squatting in front of Chen Ling, his mouth is wide, his eyes are narrowed, and the guy has a smile on his face.

   "Well, really sensible."

  Chen Ling reached out and rubbed their big heads vigorously, but he didn't dare to bring his son to play with them again.

  This guy, now he and Wang Susu can stand it. If he thinks two dogs are fun in the future, if he doesn't sleep without two dogs playing with him, he will be finished.

"Go to bed."

   patted them lightly, and Chen Ling took his son into the cave.

  It is lukewarm here, completely under his control, which is very reassuring.

   And after coming to the cave, he also made a surprising discovery.

   He found that the little guy would become very peaceful here, neither crying nor making trouble, and would soon fall asleep in his arms.

   "Could it be that this stinky boy is trying to torment me in a different way because he wants to come to the cave?" Chen Ling guessed suddenly in astonishment.

   After thinking about it, it is really possible.

   waited patiently for about ten minutes, and then carried the little guy out of the cave.

   did not wake up, but still slept soundly.

  Chen Ling was amused, "I'll try again tomorrow."

   followed closely and spent the night peacefully. Wang Susu was amazed by his son's obedience.

   When I woke up in the morning, I couldn’t stop talking about when my husband became so capable and his son was so difficult to deal with.

   But soon, this matter is no longer on her mind.

  Because today is a lively day, after the meal, many people came to the village noisily, and even their homes were affected.

  Because many of the people who came were acquaintances, Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun, Han Chuang's family, etc., not to mention Liang Hongyu's family, they had nothing to do and came the fastest.

   Don't ask too much, they all come to see the turtle.

   This is similar to the previous "Turtle Lord Parade". As soon as Turtle Lord appeared, everyone would spontaneously run around to tell each other, and go to the place where Turtle Lord appeared to offer incense, pray for blessings, and pay homage.

  Every township, village, and even county town, whoever heard the news, came to Chenwangzhuang one after another.

   This is the second day that the old turtle appeared, and the reservoir was surrounded by water.

   Forget about the third and fourth days, that guy even started to run here from the east, south, and even the county.

The liveliness of    made Chen Ling slap his tongue when he saw it, thinking that this scene was a match for Chaozhou.

   As there are more and more people, whether to bring the garlic back, he has also thought about it, but when he thinks of the unknown creatures in the reservoir, he still thinks that they should be there first.

   Anyway, these people won't hurt them, they just come to worship as gods.

   It is true that most people will be in awe when they see such a big old turtle.

   And under such rumors and atmosphere, few people go fishing.

   And when the old turtle was not showing his head, he didn’t take any drastic actions. After worshipping once, he would come again, all looking forward to seeing the true face of Lord Turtle, very pious.

   As time goes on, the story of Lord Turtle spreads more and more widely, and more and more people come here.

but…

   This bustling and bustling day didn't last long. It was only about half a month before and after, and it was interrupted by the continuous heavy rain.

   This is the torrential rain before the beginning of autumn. The rain was quite heavy and scary at the beginning.

The sound of thunder at night can wake people up from a deep sleep. The rain falls on the roof of the tile, as if countless people are smashing the tiles with small stones. It crackles and the sound is harsh, making people worry about whether the rain will Break the roof tiles.

   But fortunately, the torrential rain only lasted for half the night, and the follow-up was only in bursts, and the rainfall was not large.

This situation has made countless people feel even more awe of "Lord Turtle". They all said that the torrential rain must have been controlled by Lord Turtle, but it didn't fall. Otherwise, they would definitely be the same as the surrounding provinces and cities. Disaster for two years.

   Don’t say, there are quite a few people who believe.

   And from the beginning, Chen Ling thought it was funny, and some secretly complacent and fulfilled thoughts in his heart have become numb now.

   After listening to my husband, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law talking about the old turtle with great interest, I was even bored.

  People are like this, it is difficult to maintain long-term interest and freshness for things that have no secrets in their eyes.

   After all, he is an old turtle raised by himself. He knows everything and understands it very well.

   After the initial smug pomp, it's really better to tell a story about "wolves chase pigs" to make him feel more attractive.

   It's just that "wolves chase pigs" is not something you can encounter often.

   is a rooster fight, which is often staged these days.

   The rain had just stopped, and it was a rare sunny day.

   In fact, it has been sunny and rainy recently, and I am not sure how long it will be sunny.

   Early in the morning, when Chen Ling got up and was about to go to the kitchen to cook, he heard the constant crowing of chickens in the fruit forest.

   Go outside and take a look.

  Two big roosters were standing on top of the chicken coop, frying their feathers, flapping their wings and fighting fiercely.

   went over with a shovel, ready to drive them away.

  The **** is aggressive.

   There are too many roosters in the flock. If they are not castrated, they will be particularly prone to fights when they reach adulthood.

  Dogs will fight over dogs.

   Chickens also fight for their heads.

   There is a saying that I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, this is the chicken head.

   To put it nicely, the roosters all want to be the leader of the flock, so they often fight until the other roosters give in.

   This situation is very common in the countryside.

  If you don’t want the roosters to suffer losses due to fighting, pick out a few weaker roosters and castrate them.

  A large rooster that has been castrated is no longer a rooster. Naturally, it will not be as aggressive as a male. It will eat long meat honestly and be very obedient.

   This practice is very popular in the countryside.

   So that "capon" and "pig" were once a very profitable business.

   "It's still too good for them to eat. It's only half a year later, and they start fighting."

  Chen Ling frowned with a shovel, and was a little upset.

   When he was a child, he liked to watch roosters fight, and even took two big roosters together with a stick to let them fight.

   is also sometimes unsuccessful, and is hated by the rooster, and will chase and peck him when he sees him on the road.

   He was not afraid of this since he was a child. He would fight with the rooster with a stick or a slingshot, often making chicken feathers all over the place.

   But now, it has been replaced by domestic chickens, and last year, there are six or seven roosters.

   And this year's rooster, which is half a year old, is no different from a big rooster, plus running on the mountains all day, with an unusually wild temperament.

   They are the ones who fight the most now. They are looking for the big rooster leader from last year to fight. They are beaten miserably and still don't admit defeat. That's fine.

   I had two fights yesterday, and today I have another rooster.

It's a pity that the big rooster has eaten and drank well since last year. His body is unimaginably strong. The cockscomb is huge, the chicken beak is like an iron hook, and the big chicken's claws are so thick that it almost tops half of them. It's not them at all. These latecomers can compare, once the power is launched, the three, five and two will all get down.

  The chicken feathers on the ground were flying around, the chicken blood was splattered, and there were bloodstains everywhere on the shed of the chicken coop.

   "It's really untidy, so dishonest, so I won't let you make trouble."

  Chen Ling grabbed the defeated rooster and walked home, thinking that no matter how disobedient he was, he would not bother to go to the capon, so he stewed it and ate it.

  It is autumn, and the weather is getting colder. Two chickens are stewed with Tianma, and the whole family is nourished.
