My 1995 Small Farm

Chapter 712 Cousin and Zhenzhen

 “Eh? Rich? Are you rich?”

After Chen Ling left Doufu Fang, he passed by the county town and just said he was going to visit Aunt Hongyu and his wife.

 When Wang Zhenzhen went to school in the morning, he had already brought a lot of fresh dumplings to his elder brother.

But he still wanted to take a look...

 But as soon as he drove the tractor to the old theater, a short and sturdy man on the roadside stared at him.

 After the tractor drove past, he ran up after it.

 “Huh? Are you...Brother Pin?”

Chen Ling turned around and quickly stopped the tractor.

When the man saw Chen Ling calling him, he was overjoyed. There was surprise on his dark face: "You are really Fugui! You are really different now. You are taller and whiter. I...I almost don't dare to recognize you."

This is the eldest son of Chen Ling's aunt Chen Junying, and his cousin, Zhao Wenpin.

“Ang, I’m working in Zhenzi Mine. The wages in Tongshi County are not as good as those in Wangba City. Even though I’m tired, it’s almost the New Year... Hehe, I can’t stand it anymore.”

This kind of lack of money is not the ordinary lack of money, it should be due to foreign debt.

 Zhao Wenpin smiled honestly.

  It will not cause embarrassment to the elders.

This man is very short, probably less than 1.6 meters tall, two centimeters shorter than a bobcat, and has a dark face.

　　Well, it’s named after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Last time he refused to borrow money because his cousin-in-law was ignorant and her aunt came to the house. She was still so protective of her little grandson and not close to Ruirui.

At that time, he didn’t even bother to pretend.

 Chen Ling glanced at the old bus station behind him and thought: "Are you mining in Bastard City?"

His aunt is not very close to him. In addition to marrying far away, a lot of it is because of his mother's past. He can't say much about this.

Zhao Wenpin grinned, a little embarrassed on his face.

“Hey, we just came from Wangba City with people from our village. It’s getting dark. There are a lot of roadblocks and robberies these days, so we’ll spend the night here and go back during the day tomorrow…”

Otherwise, they are all relatives, so the little money is not much to him, and it is easy for him to make money. Let alone borrowing, he just gives it.

 This is what makes him unhappy.

“Haha, what’s wrong with your brother? Brother Pin, why are you here in Lingyun? You don’t even go home.” Chen Ling jumped off the tractor and grabbed the man’s arm.

 Sighed immediately and frowned slightly.

 But he looks very good, with good facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very upright appearance.

 Chen Ling remembered that her aunt brought her daughter-in-law and grandson to borrow money, and knew that his family was probably really short of money.

 Auntie loves to cry when grandma is around.

 He actually doesn’t hate his aunt.

 In our family, your grandson has been treated so lawlessly. It’s strange that Chen Ling has such a good temper.

"If you can't stand it any longer, take a break. Mining in Bastard City is more dangerous than anywhere else."

 Chen Ling nodded and said nothing more. His eldest cousin was not the same kind of person as his aunt and uncle...

 Honest and honest, with good character.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether his character is good or not. We only meet him rarely, and we can’t get close to Chen Ling.

But he is a man who has played with Chen Ling since he was a child. He is very affectionate with Chen Ling every time they meet and recognizes him as his cousin.

 The most important thing is that this eldest cousin knows what is good and what is wrong, but he has a sense of shame. He likes to handle things at home by himself, and it is difficult for him to ask for help from others.

He has the demeanor of an older person who can handle things.

Most of the time, others don’t think anything about it, and he thinks about others first.

 I don’t like troublesome people very much.

 This is sometimes the case. In a family, the parents may not be very good, but the children are quite decent.

Sure enough, Zhao Wenpin didn't even mention borrowing money in front of Chen Ling.

So I asked: "I heard that you have two more children in your family? Why didn't you let someone send you a message to tell them?"

“Hey, this hasn’t been done yet. There are many people here who can’t get together, but it’s coming soon. I’ll call you when the time comes.”

 Chen Ling smiled and grabbed her eldest cousin's arm again: "Let's go, everyone is here in Lingyun. Let's go home to have a meal and stay for two days."

 He was really not being polite.

But Zhao Wenpin also knew that the last trip that Chen Junying took his daughter-in-law there was very unpleasant, so he didn't have the nerve to go again.

He waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I have to leave early tomorrow. If the villagers come out together, they have to go back together, otherwise it won't look good."

 He also knows that Chen Ling is different now from before.

 He is rich and famous, so he is no longer that bastard.

Actually, he and Chen Ling didn't meet much, but they got along pretty well. The main reason was that his father, Chen Ling's uncle, was a **** and stingy. But he wanted to control everything, and the feudal lords were very paternalistic.

 So in his previous exchanges with Chen Ling, he never preached. They just played and talked nonsense together, but they got along well.

“What’s the point? If you can’t get in the car then, I’ll give you a ride. Isn’t there a tractor?”

 Chen Ling dragged him away and met relatives in his own territory. In this day and age, it was normal practice to stay and have meals enthusiastically.

Even if the other party is unwilling, you still have to push for it.

 After all, it’s not like later generations, where everything is very convenient, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t care about it. You have a place to eat and a place to live.

"No, no, I really won't go. I'm so dirty that I can't see anyone..."

 The eldest cousin started pushing.

“We brothers are still discussing this?”

Zhao Wenpin hurriedly approached him and whispered: "I really can't go. We have money on us and we have to take turns guarding it at night..."

 “That’s it, that’s okay.”

Once Chen Ling heard this, he stopped trying hard.

“Hey, I’m going home to have a rest, and I’ll come over to see you young couple and the kids in a while. By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, what are you doing with a cart of bamboo poles?”

 “I plan to build two greenhouses.”

"Ah? You also want to plant a greenhouse. You keep doing it all year round. You are so energetic!"

 Zhao Wenpin said the same thing.

As he was talking, his fellow villagers also gathered around to chat. After knowing who Chen Ling was, they all looked at him with wide eyes.

Chen Ling is also used to this type of reaction.

After chatting briefly for a while, we stopped talking. We just turned around and went to the delicatessen on the street, bought a lot of wine and food, packed them up, brought them over, left two packs of cigarettes, and then drove the tractor back to the village.

"Binwazi, doesn't your mother always say that this nephew is not good? Now that you are so rich, you won't even lend money to your aunt. She is quite close to you after meeting her. You don't go to your house, and she gets you such good cigarettes. Good food and wine.”

 Some fellow countrymen said this, not as a joke, but as a casual gossip.

Zhao Wenpin sighed, thinking about his parents and his wife, he knew better than anyone else...

 Since he grew up and became sensible, it’s not like he hasn’t said anything.

There are some things that he doesn’t know what to say.

 In short, people are stubborn.

Even the closest people can’t persuade someone.

　　What you say three times is as light as water, and it makes no sense even if it makes sense. It is very difficult to persuade someone by just relying on your words.

"We are all relatives. Broken bones are still connected. Don't I often fight with my father? My mother just wants to bear grudges against my aunt. She thinks my aunt bullied her back then. In fact, I am very close to my brother. " Zhao Wenpin laughed.

　In front of outsiders, you can’t talk about anything.

“Huh? What’s in this beef? It’s hard. Is there half a piece of meat left uncut?…”

  Someone was about to open the oil paper package of the soy beef, but suddenly he frowned and hurriedly opened it to take a look.

 There was a bulging envelope stuffed underneath.

The man touched it with his hand and was startled: "It's money. There's a lot of money in it. Betrothed, this must be for you!"

Zhao Wenpin stopped smiling for a moment, and his expression suddenly became complicated.

After a long while, he kept sighing softly: "This thing is causing trouble, this thing is making trouble, I shouldn't have called him out just now..."

 …

the other side.

 At Lingyun Primary School, there is a physical education class in the afternoon.

Wang Zhenzhen led a group of classmates, sitting on the table tennis table, swaying his feet, raising his chin high, and looking like his nostrils were upturned: "What am I talking about? You can't buy their spicy noodles. Did you see it yesterday?" Their house was overturned by a donkey-headed wolf at night, he must be a big bad guy."

“Zhenzhen, didn’t you say you were going to take your brother-in-law’s dog to drive them away?”

"Yes, isn't this their own retribution? Then I will let them go. If anyone dares to come here in the future, I will not only bring the dog, but also call the tiger raised by my brother-in-law over and scare the **** out of them..."

“Okay, okay, we also want to see tigers. Can we go on Sunday?”

“It shouldn’t work. Didn’t I tell you that my brother-in-law is very busy now? I’ll take you there. If he can’t do the work, my father and mother will scold me...”

"Well, as long as you promise me one more thing, and you won't buy other people's spicy noodles in the future, I will take you to my house to see tigers in a while, and let my brother-in-law take pictures of you."

　　"Okay, okay, you're so kind. We listen to you and will definitely not buy their spicy strips."

“It’s just... I can’t buy your spicy strips, what should we do if we want to eat them? Other things are not as delicious as spicy strips!”

"Wait a minute, my brother-in-law has invented more delicious spicy strips... Besides, the ones at the school gate, I don't know what their spicy strips are made of. They sell them so cheaply, so they must not be good. It will definitely hurt your stomach after eating it, I am doing this for your own good.”

"Yes, you are right. My grandma often said that the meat in the ham sausage is not good, but dead dogs and cats, which cannot be eaten. The spicy strips are sold so cheaply, so they must not be good."

 “Okay, let’s go and play.”
