My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 341 Year End

  The sky finally cleared up.

   In a world covered in silver, the sun has risen.

  In the early morning, the golden-red sun shines brilliantly, shining on the snow-covered world, wonderful and magnificent.

   After several days of heavy snow, it was too cold. In the farm, breakfast was no longer so early for Chen Ling's family.

   Early this morning, Chen Baoshuan came again, standing at the door of the kitchen, leaning against the door frame to speak.

   In the kitchen, Chen Ling only wore a thick sweater, a cotton vest made by Wang Susu for him, and a little baby sitting on his lap. Compared to him, the little boy was very thickly dressed, like a little fat bear, chubby, his tender little face was flushed with white, and a pair of **** eyes blinked and blinked, staring at the people under the dining table. A bunch of puppies, giggling non-stop.

   A pair of small hands and calves are not honest, and there is no time to relax.

   "This baby is so beautiful, it's time to learn to walk as soon as the new year is over."

  Chen Baoshuanyi had nothing to say at the door. Since he tipped off Chen Ling several times, he thought that he had also approached Chen Ling, and went to the farm whenever he could.

   Of course, he was afraid that Chen Ling would annoy him. More often, he brought Xizi to the farm to play with the puppy and watch TV.

   Came here this morning. It was Chen Sangui who built a wooden scooter according to the drawings drawn by Chen Ling, and he volunteered to deliver it.

   "Yeah, I used this walker to learn to walk faster."

  Chen Ling simply echoed.

The reason why Chen Baoshuan has been able to tip off the news recently is that other people have nothing to do and walk around the village all day long. Maybe he knows that he can't be a person like that before. For a while now, he has been gathering in the crowd, and hearing what's in his ears is really not a problem. few.

The second is that his daughter-in-law Vanilla and Guangyun's wife-in-law got close. After returning home, she couldn't control her mouth. Good days are coming.

  No matter how good the dog is at the house, the earth bomb is thrown in, and the fire is set on fire again, and it can't run fast.

  How could she know that just after she finished speaking, Chen Baoshuan came to the farm to report the letter after hearing it that night.

   So Chen Ling also accepts his affection.

   I asked him to sit down to eat just now, but he was happy.

   But the family of three was eating, and they were feeding the children at the time. He was not so blind, so he said he had eaten, and stood outside and had a brief chat with Chen Ling.

   "It's still wealth and honor, you're clever, this little baby can think of a car that learns to walk..."

   "Hey, it's just something to save trouble."

  Chen Baoshuan laughed at the door when he saw Chen Ling's disrespectful face.

   He really admires Chen Ling now.

   I didn't know or didn't know before, but recently he deliberately got close to Chen Ling and learned something, which really shocked him a lot.

  Especially when Guangyun's house had an accident with dynamite, he just came to tell him that the accident happened that night, and it was caused by his own dog, which really made him think he couldn't think deeply about it.

   I feel that Chen Ling really can't be messed with, this person is like God blesses him.

   If you mess with him, something will happen.

In front of the kitchen door, I stood for a while, waiting for Wang Susu to have a good meal to carry the little baby over, Chen Ling came out with the leftovers to feed the puppy, Chen Baoshuan hurried to the front and said some small words, what happened last time and didn't bring Guangyun's house A family was blown up, and this time, the snow sweeping Guangyun house fell, and he deserved to be unlucky.

  Wrestling has nothing to do with Chen Ling.

   But people like to put some unexpected events together and talk about them.

Chen Baoshuan didn't see Chen Ling's reaction very much. He knew that the Chinese New Year was coming soon. He didn't want to hear bad things on this festive festival. Besides, "Tenth lunar month, slow lunar new year." .

  …

  Guangyun's house is really bad, and it's not pure bad luck to say bad luck.

   It was mainly because of the explosives incident that he lifted a stone and hit his own foot, which was not only embarrassing and laughed at by outsiders, but also had to be guarded against Chen Ling's revenge.

  If they climbed over the wall and entered the house at night, they also came with dynamite and set fire to it, wouldn't their family be finished.

  Under fear and nervousness, it is easy to have accidents everywhere, feel restless, and it is normal to walk, fall, and slip.

   But such a trivial matter made Lao Guang's family feel more and more that they were "hindered" by Chen Ling's family.

   After the weather cleared up, I asked my cousins ​​to pull a scooter and send them to the city.

   One came to be hospitalized, and two came to avoid the disaster and hide from Chen Ling's revenge.

  Although the twelfth lunar month was busy, a group of melon-eating people who were watching the fun and not being a big deal were very interested, and they talked about it over and over again every day.

  What are you talking about? This is too mysterious. The wealthy family is prosperous, and the bad luck is all sent to the Guangyun house.

   I am afraid that the ancestors of the old Chen family are showing their power. This foreigner wanted to fry their hair in Chenwangzhuang and sent them out directly.

  Many people who have a good relationship with Chen Ling feel relieved.

   is like winning a battle.

   Every night, he would come to the farmhouse to have a lively and impassioned talk, and watch TV at Chen Ling's house by the way.

  …

  The days go by, and the flavor of the year is getting stronger day by day.

   This year, there are few sunny days, the temperature is low, and the snow melts very slowly.

  Chen Ling drove an ox cart and went into the city alone to buy some New Year's goods and go home.

  The so-called tight twelfth lunar month, slow first lunar month, unhurried November, not bad at all.

  Last year, I didn’t feel much. This year, I have a baby. Is it different? I feel more and more busy as I get older.

   The more things you need to prepare.

In the twelfth lunar month, prepare bacon, sausage, marinated fish and chicken, as well as fried seeds, fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, popped popcorn, etc., and then fried foods, fried walnut cakes, fried fish, fried tofu, and more Rice cakes, pastries that are ready to be served, etc.

  The last is steamed buns, minced meat and dumplings.

  The people in the mountains are poor, but as long as the conditions are sufficient this year, in order to have a good New Year, it is really not too much trouble or too much tiring, and will prepare the same in person.

  The new year is good, and the next year is good for the whole year.

  …

  On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Lixian's family brought some candied chestnuts and some sun-dried chestnuts for Chen Ling to cook.

   Wu Ni’er was at home during the winter vacation. After Si Ni’er got married, she and sister Da Ni’er liked to come to Wang Susu to play.

   Come today and amuse Rui Rui around the stroller.

   Ruirui, this stinky boy likes to hug young and beautiful girls.

   But young girls like Wang Zhenzhen's age are not good enough. He likes to make trouble, but he is afraid that others will make trouble for him, so he is very resistant.

   But Da Ni'er, Wu Ni'er, and even Qin Qiumei, he likes to look for them.

At this time, the TV in the room was on, Da Ni'er was holding the little baby, and Wu Ni'er was counting with her fingers, "How delicious chestnuts are, Uncle Fugui made a lot of delicious food last year, and I still have it. Remember, stewed chicken with chestnuts, pork ribs with chestnuts, mutton stewed with chestnuts... and chestnut cakes made by Aunt Susu, chestnut nests, I can't eat such a good taste in school or in the big cities outside."

   She was telling the truth, which made everyone a little greedy.

  Wang Lixian put his legs up and squatted on the sunflower seeds with a smile: "In the twelfth lunar month, it is said that there is no shortage of meat, and he also killed the new year pig. Let Wu Ni'er say this, I still want to have a hala."

   "Fifth sister, don't you like cooking, learn some tricks for Uncle Fugui, let's try it when we go back." Liu Nier shouted.

   Wu Ni'er glared at the baby, stretched out her hand and grabbed his ear and said, "You want to call me after you've ordered the eldest sister, right?"

   Liu Nier hurriedly begged for mercy.

  Chen Ling and his wife saw their siblings fighting, they laughed and said, "If you want to eat, come to our house to eat."

   The three siblings were embarrassed.

  Chen Ling and Wang Susu are very kind to their children, they are also sensible, and naturally they don't want to always come to eat.

   At this time, Wang Lixian slapped his thigh: "Okay, I forgot to get you pork. This year, we didn't kill the pig, we didn't eat the soup, and we didn't have to cook the bacon. What's the matter..."

   said that he was about to go back to get it, but Chen Ling hurriedly stopped him.

   But he stopped Wang Lixian. After a while, Wang Jusheng's family of four came, and they brought pork.

When    came, he didn't say anything else, just smiled: "Fugui, I'll give you some meat, and get more sausages and bacon. The fragrant things you make will be awarded to our family."

   Wang Jusheng and his wife said so, what else can Chen Ling say, accept it.

   "Yeah, get a little more, these things will hold up."

   "Oh, don't talk about it, think about those sausages and bacon that riches gave last year, steamed sausages, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, I'm starting to get greedy again."

  Wang Susu also smiled and said, "A Ling has just marinated the fish and made it in the past few days, but I still have time to do the rest."

   The cured fish in the twelfth lunar month is called cured fish.

  This year, the fish we raised at home are really good. We have collected a lot of fish and they are big in size. They are marinated and dried into dried fish. It is not a problem to be able to feed them for more than half a year next year.

  The temperature in the twelfth month is low, and the fish can be exposed to the sun every day without stink.

  Storage after drying, keep dry and keep for a long time.

   is just one point, always recruiting some wild cats and wild birds, trying to steal food.

  What kind of raccoon, magpies, and old squirrels, come every day, even if the two bald boys are chased every day, and the birds they kill can't finish eating and hang a few strings on the tree, they still like to come and eat them stealthily.

Wang Lixian raised his brows: "Hey, this waxed fish is fine. Our village does not make enough waxed fish, and each family is only about 20 kilograms. Kinmen Village and Taoshugou make more, Erni. I brought it back, and it tastes no worse than pork."

   "Yes, yes, the pickled fish from the second sister's side is also delicious. Da, mother, let's make some pickled fish this year."

   Wu Ni’er made a suggestion, and Liu Ni’er agreed with a wide-eyed smile.

  Wang Jusheng's family followed suit.

When    left, Chen Ling also gave them two seasonings for kippers and taught them how to make them delicious.

The next day, Chen Ling took Heiwa to the mountains and fed the wolves more than 300 catties of meat again, leaving almost another 300 catties. It's New Year's Eve.

   The cubs in the wolf's den have grown up now, and are completely weaned to eat meat.

   It is the little guy who grew up in the wolf's den. Although his father is the **** dog Heiwa, his wolfishness has been revealed at a young age.

   and the little fat dog at home are not like brothers and sisters, they are completely the appearance of little wolf cubs.

   However, they are very kind to Heiwa and Chen Ling. When they come, they will come close to them and play around, but they just don't like wagging their tails like wolves.

   After feeding them, Chen Ling dug a basket of winter bamboo shoots and went back.

   It is said to be winter bamboo shoots, but it is actually fresh bamboo shoots in the cave.

   But the same as winter bamboo shoots, Chen Ling transformed a winter environment by changing the water vapor form in the cave to cultivate special animals and plants.

   In the mountains on their side, there are relatively few winter bamboo shoots, mainly because it is too cold in winter. Winter bamboo shoots only grow in a short period of November in the lunar calendar, and the harvest is often not large.

  Chen Ling brought so many winter bamboo shoots back, but Wang Susu was overjoyed.

  Because this thing is easier to dig in Fenglei Town, there are more water systems around Lutou Mountain, and the climate is more humid than here. When Wang Susu was not married, winter bamboo shoots were eaten every winter.

   "These winter bamboo shoots are a good thing. They are even better than fresh bamboo shoots. A-Ling, you have brought so much back. This year's Chinese New Year is a blessing..."

   The little daughter-in-law grinned while holding the baby in one hand and patting the falling snow on Chen Ling's clothes with the other.

   "That's not it. In the afternoon, it is fried pork slices with winter bamboo shoots, and in the evening, I drink fish and bamboo shoots soup and eat it a few times." Chen Ling took off his thick hat and put it on his daughter-in-law's head, causing a burst of anger.

   Then stuffed the doll into the stroller, and the two started packing.

   Peel off the shell of the bamboo shoots, the slightly yellow bamboo shoots are compact and compact, with a faint bamboo shoot fragrance, fresh on the top, and very good smell.

  Fresh winter bamboo shoots, whether it is stir-fried or mixed with all kinds of meat, are a rare delicacy.

   The young couple could not get tired of eating even two meals.

   Get up early the next day, cut the bamboo shoots into cubes, cut them into the minced meat, wrap the buns, and steam them in a steamer.
