My 1995 Small Farm

   "Huh? Isn't Little Swallow a noble character and loves cleanliness the most? How can you not be particular about it?"

  These people were very puzzled, and the children they brought were also very puzzled. They said that in the texts they studied in elementary school, the Phoenix taught the birds to build nests, but the little swallow listened the most carefully and learned the best.

   He quickly refuted Chen Ling.

  Wang Zhenzhen quickly answered: "The text is wrong, and there are mistakes in the text. The little swallows are also divided into mud swallows and grass swallows. Uncle Zhao has written an article and published it in the newspaper. Wait, I will go home and show it to you."

   Zhao Yubao's articles this year are almost all about Chen Ling's family.

  Every time newspapers and magazines were mailed back from the publishing house, Chen Ling would be given a copy, and there was a thick stack at home.

  Wang Zhenzhen has basically seen all of them.

  Because Zhao Yubao's writing is interesting and fun, the language is plain and simple, and the matter is his own business. It is an honor to publish the book in the newspaper, and the little girl read it with relish.

  I still remember articles about swallows, glowing fish, water towers, and self-developed pesticides.

  She herself said it was more interesting than the "Pearl Bird" text she read in school.

   Now take it out and show these people a look.

   Sure enough, everyone was fascinated by watching it all at once.

   "Oh, it turns out that grass swallows and mud swallows are so different!"

   "No wonder Boss Chen said that Cao Yanzi is not particular about it. Even the places he chose are too casual."

"Um…"

  Chen Ling hummed, and nodded: "This is probably not only a grass swallow, but also a young grass swallow that just flew out of the nest this year. It has no experience, and it can make a nest. Just find a place and it will be over."

   "Brother-in-law, let's poke it with a stick. The grass swallow is dirty, and its chirping is annoying."

  Wang Zhenzhen hugged the pillar of the straw shed, staring at the scrawled bird's nest above, eager to try.

  Beside her, Rui Rui, who also had her head up, turned around as soon as she heard that she was holding a stick. With short short legs, she walked quickly, went to the chicken coop to pick up a thin bamboo pole for catching chickens and ducks, and dragged it back on the ground.

  Come to Chen Ling: "Dad, Dad, poke the bird."

  Chen Ling was speechless for a moment: "Both of you, grass swallows are dirty as long as they are dirty. This nest is fine, let it grow here."

   "Dad, poke the bird."

  Rui Rui was very persistent, staring up at him with a smile and bright eyes.

   Brats have this virtue, the bigger they get, the more they like to make trouble.

  Chen Ling picked him up and scratched his little nose: "Naughty, let this swallow nest here. Dad will take you and auntie to the village to watch the chicks hatch in the afternoon, okay?"

   "Little One, Little One..."

  Chen Ling played with two dolls.

  The people just now read Zhao Yubao's article very intoxicated, and from time to time compared what was written in the article with some things in the farm.

  Take the children and wander around.

   It wasn't until Chen Ling inserted half of the fence, and the grass swallows that had settled in the small grass shed flew back, that they wandered back to their original place, pointing at the pair of swallows.

   It's time to eat at noon, and the crowd dispersed.

  The old man came back from Fenglei Town in the afternoon. The old man came by himself with two pack horses, so that the road would be stable and it would be convenient for Wang Qingwen and his wife to go back.

   They lived with Chen Ling for a month or so, and they had a lot of food and clothing.

   "Lingzi, come quickly."

   In the afternoon, Wang Qingwen packed his things and waved to Chen Ling from the wooden building in the backyard.

   "What's wrong bro? Is there anything to move?"

  Chen Ling had just slaughtered a duck and was about to make soup for his father-in-law, when he heard the call, he wiped his hands and hurried over.

   As soon as he got to the upstairs room, Wang Qingwen took out a cloth bag and gave it to him.

   Inside is a particularly thick wad of money.

   "Take it quickly, this is the money my sister-in-law and I saved during this time."

   "Brother, what are you doing? You have been helping me here for so long, and I haven't given you any money yet. How can I ask you for money instead?"

   "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. The money is only half of it. The other half is the money that your sister-in-law and I dig mushrooms and wild vegetables, and we will definitely keep it ourselves.

  The half was earned in your village, so it should be yours.

  We help say help, our family, you are too busy, we should help.

  This cannot be justified by money.

   Besides, digging mushrooms is enough for us to earn more than we earn in a year. We can’t take what we earn from the village. "

  Su Ligai also nodded hurriedly beside him, "Lingzi, take it, you are dedicated to making money for your two elder brothers, how can you be so busy."

   "That's not okay, brother, sister-in-law, this is not the case at all."

  Chen Ling quickly waved his hand: "Let's put it this way, I don't want any of the money my parents earn by cooking here in the spring and March, let alone yours.

  Of course, this is not a matter of whether we can have it or not. As a family, we should not make such a clear distinction.

   Otherwise, Susu would feel uncomfortable if she knew about it. "

"this…"

   "It's okay, whoever does the work, who should get the money, that's right. What you earn from cooking for others is yours. Is it possible that I still have to charge you for the pots and stoves, or for the firewood?"

  Wang Susu's natal family is full of real people, so Chen Ling, who is the son-in-law, can't be too fussy.

  People didn’t take advantage of me, they did everything they could to help, but they still have to give me money in the end?

  No such thing.

  …

  Wang Cunye naturally couldn't hear what they said upstairs.

  The old man is walking with his hands behind his back, leading three oxen, to the entrance of the southwest village, showing off to others.

   "Cunye, how close you are to your son-in-law, you will work as soon as you come back... It's true that you are rich, your father-in-law is old, and he keeps ordering you to work."

   Er Maolu and others were joking with him.

  The father-in-law quickly waved his hand: "Hey, it's not, it's not... Mainly because I came back, Ling Zi killed chickens and ducks, saying that I stayed here for more than a month, and I didn't look very good, so I insisted on making me some delicious tonics.

  Later, he also said that he wanted to kill the sheep.

  His things are worth the old nose's money. I'm used to eating bran and swallowing vegetables, so I can't see this.

   But his temper, I can't persuade him, let's watch it at home, and my heart hurts to death.

   It's better to come out and graze cattle for him, out of sight, out of mind. "

   "Oh, that's right, Fugui respects you so much, Brother Cunye, you are so lucky!"

   A group of old men and women suddenly said sourly.

   "What kind of luck is it? My son-in-law is used to being extravagant and doesn't know how to save money.

  I passed by Fenglei Town before, and saw that my legs and feet were not good. They said that the old house in the stockade on the mountain lived in damp and heavy humidity, which was not good for my bones.

   He insisted on going to Fenglei Town to renovate my house and build a new house after this fall.

   Said that he didn't listen, and said that our old couple would be old and it would be inconvenient to go down the mountain. It would be better to have a small yard in Fenglei Town.

  You say mud legs like us, let him go down the mountain, in caves... as long as he has a place to live, who hasn't come here all his life, pay so much attention to what he does, and spend money all day long. "

   "Haha, haha, yes too..."

  Everyone didn't know what to say for a while, they just laughed and said along the lines: "Wealthy and rich, if you can make money, you let him spend it."

   "Yes, if I have such a son-in-law, I must get him a car."

   "That's right, that's right, if I want a son-in-law like Fugui, I have to let him take me on the train or plane, just like these idlers in the village, playing tricks everywhere."

   "Hey, yes, save karma, when you are free, let Fugui take you on a plane, see Tiananmen Square, and then climb the Great Wall, that's good."

  Wang Cunye was so happy when he said this, the corners of his mouth almost grinned behind his ears.

  The son-in-law is promising, and his father-in-law has a bright face.

   No, are you all envious of his picky eyes on his son-in-law?

  The old man happily hummed a little song all the way, led the cow back to the village, first went to play chess with Zhao Yubao and the two, and then taught them to weave fishing nets and chicken coops.

  Playing leisurely until half the afternoon, along the dirt road uphill and downhill, slowly rushing to the farm outside the village.

  The bract valleys on both sides are as green as tents, and small corn cobs are growing out of the stalks, with yellow-green or purple-red beards spit out.

  The father-in-law suddenly calmed down, and as he walked, he somehow remembered what happened at the entrance of the village.

  I thought of myself as an old monkey, showing off there.

   Immediately felt ashamed.

   And the more I think about it, the more ashamed I become, thinking that I used to look down on this kind of people the most? Why did you become such a disgusting look?

  Finally, he threw the ox rope aside, stood by the side of the road, and slapped himself several times on the face in agitation.

   "It's worthless to hit you... Why do you still **** your tail when you're old?"

   "You are not ashamed to hit you, and you are not ashamed to show off in the son-in-law's village."

   "Hit you old vaulting monkey and make you jump around."

   "..."

  By coincidence, Chen Ling and his son rode a small green horse down the steep slope. They were terrified when they saw this scene, and they lost their voices: "Father, what are you doing?"

  The old man trembled all over, his old face was flushed red, he hesitated and said: "Ah? I, I, I swatted mosquitoes. These **** mosquitoes are very annoying. If you don't pay attention, they will bite people everywhere."

   After finishing speaking, without changing his breath, he quickly asked others: "Ling Zi, what are you doing, and you are going back to the city again?"

   "Well, go back and tell Susu and mother that you are back, dad. By the way, the chicken and duck are about to be cooked. My sister-in-law is watching the fire. Dad, you should go back and eat."

   "Oh, oh, oh, why don't I go see Susu too?"

   "No, no, you have driven so far, go back and rest."

  …

  Chen Ling and his son rode away quickly.

   Didn’t see the old man stamping his feet embarrassingly in circles behind.

   Just wondering: "Slap mosquitoes? As for that?"

  Chen Ling felt that the father-in-law's behavior was a bit strange.

  Meet Ruirui and didn't tease him twice, which is quite abnormal.

   But he didn't think much about it.

  The father-in-law is back, and the uncle and brother are leaving. It is important to tell Wang Susu and his wife about this.

   Back in town.

  Wang Susu and Zhong Xiaoyun were happily discussing something with a book in the yard.

  Seeing Chen Ling coming back, he immediately walked forward briskly and hugged Ruirui off the horse: "A Ling, I woke up today, and I feel that I have a lot of energy in my body.

  If it wasn't for the big belly, I would have jumped and jumped. "

   As he spoke, he put down Ruirui, opened his arms and circled in front of Chen Ling, with a smile all over his face.

   This is of course the reason why Chen Ling picked the leaf from the cave last night.

   All of Wang Susu's energy loss and physical loss were made up for at once.

  So the body and mind are comfortable again, and the negative emotions disappear.

  In short, as long as the body is good enough and the vitality is supplemented, the heart will also feel comfortable.

   If you get a little sick, no matter how serious or minor, it will deplete your energy and energy, no matter how many good things happen, it will be difficult to be truly happy.

   Pregnancy is not a disease, but it can easily cause mental illness.

   "The mood has improved? This must be my credit. I put you to sleep every day and tell you so many stories. It should have been better long ago."

   Chen Ling smiled and got off the horse.

   "Bah."

  Wang Susu immediately poohed him lightly, and came up to pull his ears.

  But Chen Ling grabbed her hand with a playful smile, and kissed her hand.

  Zhong Xiaoyun yelled at the side when she saw this: "Oh, I didn't see it, I didn't see it, you two are in front of people in broad daylight, and you are not ashamed.

  Rui Rui, look at your father, he is playing a hooligan in broad daylight. "

  Ruirui didn't know what she was yelling for. When she saw her father kissing her mother's hand, she also ran to her mother's face to kiss her face.

  After the kiss, he giggled happily, and came to Zhong Xiaoyun's side again, kissing her face.

   Kissed her glasses crookedly.

   Provoked Zhong Xiaoyun to let out another strange cry, and wiped her saliva and said, "Okay, just like your father, he is a big hooligan, and you are a little hooligan. Auntie wants to beat you up."

  Chen Ling looked back at her: "He also said that we...Ruirui didn't know how to have relatives before, and it wasn't taught by your two aunts."

   Several people laughed for a while.

  Chen Lingcai said to Wang Susu: "Father is back today, brother and sister-in-law will be back tomorrow..."

  Wang Susu was stunned when he heard the words: "Ah? Then I, I want to go back and have a look, will you let me?"

   After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said: "Now I feel very light and strong..."

   As he spoke, he looked at Chen Ling expectantly.

   Chen Ling looked into his daughter-in-law's watery eyes, and understood the expectation in her heart: "Well...I'll try to borrow a car when I go back, and if I can borrow it, I will take you and mother back. If we can't, we won't bother.

  Brother and sister-in-law don't want you to make such a fuss.

   What do you think? "

   "Then, that's fine."

  Wang Susu pouted subconsciously when she heard the words, and like a little girl, she took Chen Ling's arm and rubbed her head against his shoulder, "I hope I can borrow it, I really want to go back."

"Um."

  Chen Ling thought about it for a while, and thought that the guests living in his house still had cars. In addition, Little Sheep also had cars, but the carts were tall and dilapidated, so they were not as stable as bullock carts.

  Zhong Xiaoyun was watching their young couple's sloppy mouth from the side, but she didn't say anything at the moment, she just raised the corners of her mouth, sat aside with Ruirui smiling, and watched quietly. (end of this chapter)
