My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 462 Unexpected person

   "Fish glow?"

   "Oh, it's true, Ling Zi, come and take a look, these little fish are really glowing, just like fireflies."

   Chen Ling hurried to the front yard upon hearing the words.

  Outside the living room of the bamboo building in the front yard, the father-in-law and his two little ones were holding the edge of a large stone water tank with their hands, lifting the lotus leaves on the water, and looking inside.

  At the same time, when Wang Susu and his wife heard their shouts, they also put down the dishes they had washed and walked over.

   The ornamental fish that Chen Ling raises, besides the ordinary fish that are sold in the fish pond, there are also high-quality fish that he raises for fun.

  He specially got a large stone water tank made of bluestone and placed it in front of the living room of the bamboo building.

  Inside the stone jar, besides the fish, there are aquatic plants and some lotus flowers.

   It looks like an ecological fish tank, very beautiful.

   "Brother-in-law, sister, look quickly, the little fish fry here are glowing."

  Seeing everyone approaching, Wang Zhenzhen was so excited that he stood up and pointed for them to see.

  In the water tank, under the dim light of the evening, there are small fluorescent fish swimming around.

   "Hey, this is the fry of those pearl fish that just grew up, right? It didn't look like anything special a few days ago?"

  Chen Ling looked at it and was a little surprised.

   Is this another mutation?

  Generally speaking, there are few freshwater fish that can glow.

   There are more in the deep sea and caves.

  Biological phosphorescence, some are symbiotic with other organisms, rare in normal freshwater.

  After all, there is sunlight in the freshwater area, and the visible light is very strong, or the water is muddy, and the light penetration is poor. The light can neither attract food nor attract mating, which is of little significance for survival and reproduction.

   "The things that fly in the sky can emit light, we have seen some, and the things that swim in the water can emit light, but we have never seen it..."

  The father-in-law and mother-in-law were amazed and surprised.

  Wang Susu also had a fresh look on her face: "Yes, I have never seen it before. I used to say that the two red eels that Ah Ling fished were the rarest ones. I didn't expect there to be such fish that can glow at night."

   "Yes, Susu, you mentioned the red eel, the red eel is so valuable, these fish can shine at night, isn't it also very valuable?"

  Wang Cunye's eyes lit up when he heard his daughter's words, and he looked at Chen Ling.

   "Uh, I really don't know about this. I'll go to the county seat tomorrow and call to ask."

  Chen Ling recalled it carefully, and found that there was really no news about the fluorescent fish at this time.

   Not to mention a fluorescent fish mutated from ornamental fish.

   "Okay, let's ask, our family can really raise some rare things."

  Wang Cunye shook his head contentedly, otherwise it would be too unpleasant for outsiders to keep calling his son-in-law the dog king.

  Fish King also sounds better than this.

"dad."

   The adults were talking. At this time, the little guy who was standing on tiptoe and holding the edge of the water tank raised his head, pointed at the fluorescent fish in the water tank with one hand, and looked at Chen Ling eagerly.

   "Why? Want to play with it?"

   Chen Ling knew what this brat wanted to do when he saw his eager little face.

"Um."

  The little thing nodded vigorously.

   "Okay, let's eat first, after the meal, Dad will find you a small bottle, fill it up like a firefly, and hang it in the room, okay?"

  The little thing's eyes lit up: "Okay."

  Wang Zhenzhen quickly followed suit and shouted: "I want it too, I want to raise it too."

   Compared with this little fish that can glow, what's so interesting about fireflies? They died after two days of raising them.

   "All you have to do, you all have a share."

   "A Ling, don't let them play around all the time, these fish may be really valuable."

   "That is to say, how can they give them whatever they want, in case this fluorescent fish is really as valuable as that red eel, a few thousand yuan a piece, let the two of them play badly, that's thanks.

   You also said that such ornamental fish are delicate. "

   "It's okay. This is fish and nothing else. I'll just add some potion. If you change the water frequently, it's fine to keep it in a bottle."

   This little thing, children want to play, just let them play, Chen Ling naturally has nothing to hate.

  At night, I filled each of them with four or five small fish in glass bottles, put them in the room and turned off the light, and immediately shone brightly, which was very beautiful.

  The two little dolls fell in love with each other badly. They played and played until midnight, and they were so sleepy that they were willing to go to bed.

  Even Cicada Monkey forgot to look for it.

  …

  The next morning, the eagles in the sky were still circling around looking for prey, but no one was found approaching the farm.

  So after breakfast, Chen Ling rode the little green horse to the county seat.

  Called the fish shop owner Du Guanghe and others in the city to inquire, and also asked Yu Qi'an and Ma Wei.

  They all said that they had never seen this kind of fish, and they couldn't say whether it was worth the money.

  After all, the traditional appreciation of ornamental fish does not rely on whether it shines or not to measure its value.

  Chen Ling thought: In this case, let's keep it for the children to play with.

   Putting down the phone, Chen Ling planted another crop of watermelons in the small yard in the south of the city.

  This time, on the basis of watermelon and winter melon grafting, pumpkin was grafted.

   This kind of pumpkin is the kind of black pumpkin that grows to be extremely long and heavy.

  There will be a lot of breeding on the slopes outside the village every year.

  Golden-yellow flowers and jet-black pumpkins.

  The largest can grow to more than one meter.

   is also the kind that is particularly heavy.

   This time it is big and sweet with the help of pumpkin.

  The effect of planting in the cave is quite good.

   Originally, Chen Ling thought it would be good to grow outside.

   Unexpectedly, there was a new change in the outside world, directly turning into yellow melon flesh.

   In desperation, he had no choice but to prepare to let it go.

  This watermelon is really not obedient to cultivate.

   Not at all what he wanted.

   But Taozi succeeded one by one.

  'Blood Peach' with red flesh grafted with cherries.

   There is also a grafted plum, which is not bad, but he hasn't had time to name it yet.

   "If you fail, you will fail. Next year, we will produce peaches first. I still don't believe that if I grow them in Dongtian for two more years, I won't be able to produce a new variety of watermelon."

  The watermelon with broken yellow flesh was fed to the little green horse, and the vines of the melon were scraped off, and the peach pits of the 'blood peach' were planted here, and several young saplings would grow in a few days.

   These peaches and apricots grow very fast.

  If you accidentally throw it outside the yard after eating, small saplings will grow after a while, which is very common.

  If you don’t care about it, you will be able to grow to the height of a person in the second year after dropping the peach pit.

  In addition to these peach pits, he also threw a few high-quality ornamental fish that gave birth to small fluorescent fish into the pool in the courtyard.

  Let them all grow wild here.

  No one came to the small courtyard except myself to see what they would develop into.

   Coming out of the small courtyard, Chen Ling was going to buy two pieces of tofu and go home, but he went back halfway to the post office.

  Almost forgot to post the letter.

   In addition to letters, he also subscribes to a magazine for a year.

  There are some small stories similar to Liao Zhai in this type of magazine.

   It is compiled and adapted from various anecdotes that have been circulated in the local area.

   Not only has a warning meaning, but it also sounds very interesting.

  For example, the legend of wolf Bazi and donkey-headed wolf.

  People made up a jingle for Chen Ling saying that he is 'he is the king in the Qinling Mountains'. This sentence came from the donkey head wolf.

   This monster has the head of a donkey and the body of a wolf. It is very ferocious and terrifying. It is known as "the north **** of the Qinling Mountains is the king".

  These ancient legends can only be heard in the mouths of old people like Chen Sangui and fourth grandfather Chen Kannian, but there are also omissions, not as complete as what is said in this magazine.

  The last time Chen Ling saw a few books in the postman's mailbag, he picked them up and looked through them, and he was attracted.

  Subscribe without further ado this time.

   "Hey, I met the wild fruit given by the mountain man. After eating it, I didn't eat for ten years and I didn't feel hungry... I heard this somewhere."

  Chen Ling flipped through the catalog of the magazine, found an article with an eye-catching title, turned to that page, browsed briefly, and smiled: "I don't know if I can use the cave to cultivate such a magical fruit.

  ... Hehe, it is extremely difficult to think about it, and now I can't even handle the watermelon. "

   "Uncle Rich?"

  Was lost in thought, when he heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw a pretty tall young girl.

   He just frowned tightly, as if he had something on his mind, even though he was a little surprised, his face was still a little sad and dignified.

   "It's Sannier, are you here to send a letter?"

  It turned out that Sannier belonged to Wang Lixian's family. Recently, for more than half a year, because the performance of the little sheep was very good, Sannier also took the opportunity to admit his mistake.

  Wang Lixian's family also slowly accepted this daughter again.

  The last time she and the little sheep went home to help out the manure in the shed.

   Change to the previous one.

  How could this proud girl be willing to do such a dirty and tiring job.

Many snarky women in the village also speculated maliciously that the girl from Lixian's family used to have such high eyebrows, so she looked down on this poor mountain valley and poor family. He found that man to come back and follow the rich and noble to do this and that, and he was also dirty and tired. Can you bear it?

   I'm afraid I should still rush to the rich parents in the city, otherwise I would have refused to be with the kid surnamed Fang.

  Stupid and honest, with a soft temper, it's no wonder that she can control Sannier.

  For the little sheep's honesty and progress, many villagers in the village approve of this kid very much.

  But there is still a big prejudice against Sannier.

   Chen Ling and his wife had heard Gao Xiulan mutter before, but when they met, as elders, as long as the younger generation was willing to greet and speak, they had no prejudice in their hearts and were still very enthusiastic.

   "Well, I'm here to send two letters. As soon as I came here, I saw this big horse, and it turned out to be you."

   "Hahaha, right? They say I'm a better horse than I am."

  Chen Ling smiled: "Has Xiao Fang returned from the car?"

   "Not yet. This time it was two days late. I called Boss Sun and didn't say anything. He only told me that I was still waiting for the goods in the city."

   Sannier shook her head, her face seemed to be a little more sad.

   "It's inevitable to go out in the car. Here, let me leave you a watermelon to eat. It's very hot now. It's okay to eat two pieces of watermelon at home to relieve the heat."

   Chen Ling saw that her expression was not right, so he didn't ask any further questions. He just took out a large black-skinned watermelon that wasn't too heavy from the net bag on the side of the horse's back, and put it down for her.

   Sannier quickly said no.

  Chen Ling smiled and waved, got on his horse and left.

  This watermelon is still the watermelon from last time, which is the grafted variety of watermelon and wax gourd.

   Last time I put it in the cave and didn't take it out.

   Only one was opened in Fenglei Town. At that time, I was driving a tractor for a long distance, so I took out one and tasted it with my two brothers-in-law at noon.

  Both of them said it was okay, but the skin of the melon was too thick, but it was not wasted, and it could be used for cooking after eating, which was not bad.

   Today I just took a few back to try.

   Let's see if it tastes good when made into soy melon white.

  He was thinking about eating and playing, the pair of Little Sheep and Sannier would be miserable.

It turned out that Little Sheep came back late this time, not because he was waiting for the goods in an empty car, but because his parents found him. He was afraid that his parents would cause trouble to Wang Lixian's family, so he refused to take his parents with him. come over.

  But this kid is still a little too young, and today he finally couldn't bear the soft and hard attack and coercion and temptation of his parents.

  He brought his parents to the village in a transport vehicle.

  At that time, Chen Ling was playing with pigeons on the **** of Zhao Yubao's house, testing his pigeon whistles, and at the same time, let Erbald drive the pigeons in the sky, training the courage and resilience of the pigeons.

  Just having fun with the two old men, Liu Nier followed Wang Zhenzhen and came to look for him, sweating profusely, jumping and screaming, saying that his brother-in-law's parents had called and asked him to go and see.
