My 1995 Small Farm

  Zhao Yubao wanted to say something else.

  Wang Cunye came over with a few snakes, saying that he was cooking a snake soup for his old friend.

   Everyone will stop talking about these.

   Instead, he laughed at Wang Cunye: "In the past, no one was watching in Zhuangzi, and you didn't dare to move your **** in Cunye. How dare you come out today."

  The father-in-law smiled and said: "Why don't you dare, I have two big tigers to watch, so I have nothing to worry about."

  In addition to tigers, dogs and eagles are also in charge.

   It’s okay to leave for a while at noon.

  Speaking, the old man looked at Chen Ling: "These two tigers are really sensible. I cut some meat in the morning and fed them later. They crawled out of the hole and licked my hands without eating."

   Before Chen Ling could speak, Shanmao poked his head out of the kitchen and interjected: "When Uncle Han and I were in Shennongjia, an old hunter said that tigers are more sensible than cats when they are well-raised.

  Wealth is well-raised. "

   Chen Ling smiled when he heard the words: "The cubs that grew up in the zoo are easy to raise if people use the right method."

  Of course Bobcat is right.

  Tigers are more well-behaved than cats.

   Indeed it is.

  Human tigers are still wild, but they like to play with people and are very clingy.

  Tigers can be said to be almost perfect beasts.

  It can be fierce or cute.

  It is mainly reflected in the word 'receiving'.

  Claws can be retracted, tongue barbs can be retracted, and wild animals can be retracted.

   As long as a tiger has wisdom, it is no different from a human.

  They recognize 'cooked' but not 'class'.

   This is much stronger than other cats.

   "Come on, if you think it's easy to raise, it's not difficult for the attendees, and it's fine for others."

   "When it comes to raising tigers, I have searched all over the world now, and you are the only one, rich and noble."

"By the way, did Lao Han tell you that an award should be given to you about the red-crowned crane. With this award, it will be published in the newspapers. From now on, no one will question you for holding a gun and hunting again. "

   "Huh? Give the prize back? Uncle Han didn't say anything."

  Chen Ling was dumbfounded when he heard this. He just called Han Ninggui yesterday, but he didn't talk about it.

   "Uncle Zhong, I'm here to celebrate your birthday."

  At this moment, a cheerful voice outside the courtyard interrupted Chen Ling's thoughts.

  Wang Cunye turned his head and said in surprise: "Really, didn't you just start school today? Why did you come back?"

  Wang Zhenzhen ran up the path between the tall grass and trees on the slope, "Sister Du Juan drove me back by car. She wants to celebrate Uncle Zhong's birthday."

   Du Juan is also a daughter-in-law, even if she helps Wang Susu in the county, she still has to come back when she has time at noon.

   "I know I'm running around, and I don't know how to help Sister Du Juan push the cart behind."

  Wang Cunye glared at his little daughter.

  Wang Zhenzhen didn't slow down at all. While running, he snorted at his old father and ran into the fenced courtyard.

   "Chou Ruirui, you only know how to play with turtles, so you dare to hide? Bring it for me to play with... Hey, Dad, did you catch the little snake on the grape trellis, and there is also Zhuyeqing, so green, so beautiful."

  Wang Zhenzhen originally rushed to Ruirui and the others.

   As a result, before I walked over, I saw a rope hanging on the grape trellis beside the fence wall in the south, with several snakes tied to it, entangled with each other, with tenacious vitality, still struggling.

   Most of the children in the mountains around Fenglei Town are not afraid of snakes or insects.

  There are often groups of bears, catching some non-poisonous long worms, hanging them around their necks as necklaces, and judging each other who catches the biggest snake and who catches the most beautiful snake pattern...

   Take it back when you’ve had enough fun and let the parents kill the stew.

  Wang Zhenzhen is like her elder sister. She is not afraid of snakes, but she will be very kind when she sees them. When she sees a snake hanging on a grape trellis, her eyes light up. She knows that Zhuyeqing is poisonous, but she is not afraid.

   He reached out and grabbed its tail, pulled it out, and shook it in his hand to tease it.

  As for the grass-headed snake, that is, Wang Jin snake, she knew that it was raised at home and had a strange smell on it. Wang Zhenzhen hated them since childhood and never touched them.

   "Yes, I caught it in Laohewan two days ago, and the grass-headed snake was raised by us."

   "Zhuyeqing is much prettier than the Grass Head Snake, so pretty, it must be delicious too."

  Wang Zhenzhen said, almost drooling.

Zhao and Zhong's two elders went out to pick up Du Juan, and when they came back and saw her greedy look, they immediately came over and rubbed her head with a smile: "Really, your father said to make snake soup for Uncle Zhong, and Uncle Zhong won't eat it for a while. , I’ll give you all to eat, okay?”

  Wang Zhenzhen drooled, and with a sullen face, he said firmly, "No, I'm here to celebrate Uncle Zhong's birthday, so I can't steal Uncle Zhong's food."

  Chen Ling raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Huh? Really don't want to eat?"

  The little girl rolled her eyes immediately: "Uh, I'll wait for Uncle Zhong to finish eating, and then I'll eat a little more, and I won't imitate Ruirui to grab someone's food."

  Everyone couldn't help laughing at her small appearance.

   It was Ruirui who accompanied his little friend to look over in confusion in the corner of the yard, and for some reason mentioned himself again.

  Wang Cunye snatched the snake from his little daughter at this time: "This crazy girl, I shouldn't have brought her back. It's just the first day of school, and there is still class in the afternoon."

   "Slightly slightly slightly, I will return, I will return."

   What Wang Zhenzhen is most afraid of is Wang Cunye, the father, running around the old man with a hippie smile and making faces.

   "Really, don't be angry with your father, come here quickly, tell Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhong, how did you do in the exam last semester?"

  The old people of the two families liked the little girl's lively temperament very much. When they saw her, they wanted to call her to their side to tease her.

  When encountering such an old man who treats him very well, Wang Zhenzhen will be much more obedient, obediently approaching them like a kitten, and chatting with them.

  The son-in-law Chen Ling and Weng washed their hands, took out the scissors, and started to kill the snake.

  Grab the snake's neck, cut it with scissors, and cut off the snake's head. After controlling the blood of the snake, tear it hard from the snake's neck, and tear off the whole snake skin.

  The vitality of the snake is very tenacious, and the severed head can bite people, so be very careful.

  It is often safer to dig a small hole in your own vegetable garden or under a tree with a shovel and bury it on the spot.

   Chen Ling and Weng's son-in-law are skilled in both movements.

   After removing the internal organs, rinse with water, and quickly clean up several large and small snakes.

  Zhuyeqing is too thin and thin, without much meat.

  The grass-headed snake is big and has a large portion. Not only can you make snake soup, but you can also braise the rest.

   This is left to the old man to do.

  Let him show off.

  Chen Ling continued to deal with the mussels, which was more cumbersome.

   But once Chen Ling made this, everyone felt that the mussel was fresh and interesting, and everyone, big or small, came to help, but it was handled very quickly.

  It is also very fast to cook.

  Because it took time to make snake soup, Chen Ling's mussel was stuck in the front.

  Wait until the mussels stir-fried with chili are out of the pot, and then Wang Cunye should make snake soup.

   To make snake soup, you need to cook it in a pot first, peel the meat into shreds, remove the bones, fry it in a pork pot, then start adding seasoning and pour snake soup.

   Then, put it in a bowl, put it in a steamer, and steam it over medium heat for about an hour, so that the parasites are gone and the snake soup is more fresh.

  Everyone cooks with all their heart and soul today.

  Although the old man Zhong appeared on the surface as if I was not working today, he was actually sitting there with his legs shaking non-stop.

  Finally, it's time for dinner.

  During the banquet, the old man made a toast, and he was very angry. He didn't eat the longevity noodles, and drank all the wine.

   Before the birthday banquet was over, he got drunk, stuck out his tongue, rubbed the creases on his face, and yelled that this birthday was the best birthday he had in the past few years, and the village is so nice, so he won’t leave in the future.

   He also took the opportunity to make big plans for Chen Ling's farm, which was rare to show his real skills.

   Seeing old man Zhong getting drunk, luckily what he drank here was fruit wine from Chen Ling's family.

   It's good to sleep when you're drunk, and you won't get on your head at all.

  So everyone echoed him, and he did whatever he said.

  After dinner, it was raining again, so Du Juan hurriedly drove Wang Zhenzhen back to the county seat.

  Wang Cunye also drank a lot, so he went back to the farm to rest.

   Only Chen Ling and Ruirui were left here. After making tea, the father and son and Shanmao went to catch fish along the small river down the **** with a net and a small bucket.

  It has been three months since this small river was dug through, and there are quite a lot of fish and shrimp in it.

   It is especially connected to the reservoir and the Dayan Pond, where there are fish that like still water and running water.

   "Huh? What's the noise? It's rattling and screaming. Who beats the child in the rain?"

  Following the creek to the east, not far from the school, Bobcat suddenly stopped and said in doubt.

   "It's not beating children, this must be Uncle Yongsheng and his wife fighting."

  Chen Ling smiled helplessly: "The couple are very good people, the woman is virtuous, and the man is motivated, but they just quarrel and fight over trivial matters every now and then.

  I have fought a battle some time ago.

  Uncle Yongsheng disliked that Aunt Xiuhua broke too many corn cobs.

   Nagging endlessly at the dinner table.

  There are so many in the field, it’s good to eat and break as you like, whatever.

   I was in a hurry, and threw all the corn in the steamer into the pigsty.

  As a result, Aunt Xiuhua's temper also came up, and she directly overturned the table and ate whatever food she had.

   That guy, the grape trellis finally fell down. "

   "Hey, good guy, why is the combat power so fierce?"

  Bobcat was dumbfounded, "Fortunately, Du Juan is not like this, otherwise I can't bear it."

   After finishing speaking, he listened carefully again: "No, Fugui, this doesn't look like a war, it's a woman crying, don't tell me something happened."

  Chen Ling was taken aback, and hurried to listen: "Huh? It's really Aunt Xiuhua who is crying, did you beat me hard this time?"

   As he spoke, he hugged Ruirui, and quickly walked around the bridge with Shanmao.

  In the alley next to Chen Yongsheng's house, Wang Xiuhua was sitting on the ground crying.

   Behind this woman, a pile of bricks and stones collapsed.

   And Chen Yongsheng and fourth grandfather Chen Kannian were also running around in a hurry, leading a tabby dog ​​of unknown origin to the house.

  This situation confused Chen Ling, "What's the matter, Fourth Grandpa, Uncle Yongsheng? What's going on at home?"

   "Oh, Fugui, you came just in time. The pigsty next to the old house collapsed in the rain, and all the pigs ran away."

  When Chen Gannian saw Chen Ling, he hurried forward and said anxiously, "Can you find your dog? We've searched around, and we don't even know where these pigs have gone."

   If Chen Ling hadn't moved out of the village, they would have gone to Chen Ling immediately.

   But Chen Ling was outside the village, and sometimes returned to the county seat.

  The dog left at home, except for Chen Ling, was not very capable of commanding it.

  So seeing Chen Ling looking for him now, it was like seeing a savior.

   "Yes, I'll go and call the dog over right now, but Fourth Grandpa and Uncle Yongsheng, when you were looking for a pig, didn't you look for it according to the hoof prints left by the pig?"

  Chen Ling looked around and asked in doubt.

  Since the fourth grandmother died, Chen Kannian moved out of the old house and lived in the yard of the eldest brother Chen Yongsheng.

  When the old house was vacant, a pigsty was built to raise pigs.

   It is estimated that the pigsty is not very strong, it will collapse when it rains, and the pigs will run away.

   "Oh, it's hard to find if there are no hoof marks left."

  Chen Yongsheng pulled the dog's chain and pulled the black tabby dog ​​to him. The dog was very kind when he saw Chen Ling.

   But judging from the appearance, it is not enough to let it look for pigs in the rain.

   "No way, how could there be no hoof marks left?"

   Chen Ling frowned, and looked at each other with Bobcat: "Did it run away when the ground was dry before it rained?"

  Chen Yongsheng sighed: "That's not true. The main thing is your aunt's fault. You got angry with me yesterday and didn't come to feed the pigs at night. The pigs have been hungry for two days. If the pigsty collapsed, wouldn't it be running around?"

  Wang Xiuhua immediately stopped crying when he heard the words, wiped his tears and stared at his eyes and wanted to stand up, but seeing that outsiders like Chen Ling and Shanmao were there, he immediately stopped and turned his head away with a snort.

  But the couple got angry again, thinking of those pigs, how could they be raised for more than two thousand yuan, and they all ran away, thinking about it makes them feel distressed.

  So just after humming, Wang Xiuhua couldn't help covering her face and crying again.

  Chen Kannian couldn't control his son and daughter-in-law, but said worriedly: "I'm afraid that this pig will run up the mountain, and it will be difficult."

  There are many wild animals on the mountain this year.

  If the pig runs up the mountain, it will be a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.

   "Then I'll call the dog over quickly, it's starting to rain again, alas."

  Chen Ling listened to this and gave Ruirui to Shanmao, whistled to call the little green horse over from the slope, and hurried back to the village to call Erhei and them.

   It’s just that, this time when I go home, not to mention Erhei, the well-slept Afu and Ashou also come out.

  In addition to Ah Fu and Ah Shou, there were also bouncing little weasels who swished over and ran along the horse's legs to Chen Ling.

   "Okay, you are back too, at least you can die and see the corpse."

  Chen Ling took the side pocket of the horse, and the little guys jumped into it one by one obediently.

  Then turned the horse's head, took Erhei and Ah Fu and Ah Shou and killed them back.

  It was raining and no one was outside. Few people could see the spectacular sight of a black dog and two tigers running into the village following the horse.

  The fourth grandpa's family is also worried about pigs at this time, and they are in a state of confusion, and they don't have the heart to watch tigers.

  After Erhei and Ah Fu and Ah Shou all came to Shangsao, they each put on raincoats and rain boots, took a shovel and steel fork, and went out of the village.

  Go outside the village to see the direction led by the dog and the tiger. Come on, the pig really ran up the mountain. (end of this chapter)
