My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 94 Visitor

   (PS: Chapter 92 is in front of the testimonials on the shelves, refresh to see)

  I saw small black dots appearing one by one on the cracks of the turtle eggs. After a while, the black dots became bigger and bigger, turning into sharp black mouths, and then small heads sticking out.

   The little turtle cubs that have just broken their shells have not yet come out, like clownfish.

  Chen Ling watched them quietly until they all came out of their shells.

   The shelled turtle cub is only the size of a copper coin. The back is blue-black, lighter in color, and has a little pattern. After it emerges, it crawls in the same direction—the pond where the old turtle is.

   Now in this pond, the female turtle has grown to the size of a grinding disc, and the seven male turtles are as big as the lid of a well.

   In fact, after putting them in the cave, Chen Ling didn't feed them much, so when they were hungry, they climbed out and went to the fish pond to hunt for food.

  Dongtian has a suitable environment and has other unknown effects.

The fish is basically a crop of fry every half a month. It grows very fast, and it is covered with lotus flowers in the pond. The old turtles can't finish eating them. It makes the fish in the fish ponds more and more wild, fierce and abnormal, and often stage fish and turtles. war.

  However, no matter how fierce these fish are, they can't fight the old turtle, and they will eventually enter the belly of the old turtle.

  Seeing the turtle cubs lined up to enter the pond one by one, and happily swimming around the old turtle in the water, Chen Ling got up and picked up the bucket, and went to hit the stream a few times and poured it into the pond.

   This time, both the old turtle and the turtle cub became extremely excited.

   After only hearing the sound of 'crashing', the mother turtle directly surfaced and stared at Chen Ling, revealing a trace of anthropomorphic emotion in her eyes.

   seems to be expressing gratitude.

  Chen Ling saw this scene, and knew that this female turtle was wise.

   So he hooked his hands and said with a smile, "Come on, come ashore and let me see."

  The mother turtle really understood, and slowly climbed ashore.

   When it climbed to the front, Chen Ling found that it had more and more complicated patterns on its body, and the color became darker and darker. The black turtle shell was as thick as a grinding disc.

  Chen Ling reached out and touched its head: "I'll call you Garlic in the future."

   As long as there are wise ones at home, Chen Ling will not simply treat them as wild animals, but will name them and regard them as his partners.

   Hearing Chen Ling's words, the old turtle stretched out his head and pressed his hand, his eyes also showed excitement, as if he was excited for his name.

   "Don't move the garlic, I'll see if you can carry me."

  Chen Ling pressed down on its sturdy head to keep it from moving, and stepped on its back carefully.

  The tortoise shell the size of a grinding plate was solid and heavy, and Chen Ling stood firm even when he stood on it. At this moment, Garantou seemed to understand his intentions, so he got up slowly, and carried Chen Ling around the hut for two laps.

   "This guy, I can count as a new mount!"

  Chen Ling got down from the back of the garlic after he was completely addicted, thinking happily in his heart.

   "Gantou, you're not allowed to go over there to find out, right? Look after your turtle men, and don't allow them to go."

   When the garlic head returned to the water, Chen Ling did not forget to point in the direction of the stream and instructed it.

Before the cucumbers and tomatoes behind the hut grew wildly and were messy, Chen Ling used iron wire to build a shelf, and a few days later, he built the fence before and after the hut, and the tree-lined path connecting with the stream , also separated by a fence gate.

  Otherwise, Chen Ling was afraid that the old turtle would run over there after landing, and when the stream was harmed by them, people would not be able to eat it. But the old turtles in the pond are getting bigger every day, and the small fence gate can't stop them.

   Fortunately, the mother turtle is now enlightened, and it can understand simple words, just warn it.

  Chen Ling can also be relieved.

After watching the old turtles here, Chen Ling went to observe the eel fry that he brought into the cave the night before. There were more than a dozen of them, and he put them in a tin bucket. Don't care.

  Look at it now, good guy, it's all grown to a length.

You must know that when these eel fry were first put in three days ago, they still looked like red threads, less than two centimeters. It is well-proportioned, about ten centimeters in size, and it swims like a red rope floating in the water.

   "Looking at this situation, you can grow into a big fish in half a month..."

   "His grandma's, isn't this a fast-growing money-making machine?"

  Chen Ling slapped his thigh excitedly when he saw this.

   But after a second thought, he quickly calmed down again.

  It’s not good for a dog, it’s not good for growing fast, and it’s not always possible to find a suitable buyer. After all, there are not many people who open their mouths like a lynx for 5,000 yuan a piece.

  Sun Yanhong and Erzhu's two grandchildren, he didn't want to sell them.

   "Forget it, let's keep it first, anyway, I'm not short of money now."

  Chen Ling shook his head.

   It’s too troublesome to find customers, so let’s just go with it.

   Then I went to the lotus pond again, wondering if I would build a lotus pond in my yard in two days, and raise a few more fish to add some fun to the summer.

   Actually, the field also wanted to open a pond, but Wang Susu didn't want to let him toss anymore after planting the saplings, so he kept the open space untouched.

   "But it's okay to dig a small lotus pond at home, and it doesn't take up much space..."

   made up his mind, and Chen Ling walked down the stone arch bridge slowly.

   After returning to the thatched hut, he picked a peach from the peach tree and left the cave.

  This peach is as big as a baby's head, red in white, huge and plump, and it is very tempting just by smelling the fragrance.

  Chen Ling wiped the fluff on the surface and took a bite. In an instant, the fullness of juice overflowed the entire mouth. The sweetness of the peach seemed to be magnified countless times, blooming from the tip of the tongue, and then spread to the whole body.

   After taking a bite, Chen Ling couldn't stop swallowing, and he ate the peach the size of the baby's head into his stomach. It was not until there was only a small peach pit left in my hand that I could not fully recall the taste of it, but no matter how I thought about it, I just remembered that the peach was delicious, juicy and fleshy, with a fragrance that I had never tasted before. It's cool, my mind has become clearer, and the sweat pores all over my body are stretched out, as if they are fluttering like a fairy.

  Chen Ling exhaled comfortably: "This guy is really a fairy. When the peaches from the outside world are ripe in a few days, I will take them out and give Susu a taste."

   said with a slight sigh, Chen Ling just dug a small hole and planted the peach pit in his hand, and he didn't care any more.

   got up and carried the basket to mow the grass.

   In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

  …

   'Mai Shaohuang, the girl is watching the mother', since the wheat turned apricot yellow, and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, more people are visiting relatives on the road.

  Women who get married often have to go to their parents' house before harvesting wheat.

   Those who walk, ride donkeys, ride bicycles, look around, they are absolutely indispensable on the road these days.

  The relatives cannot go empty-handed. They carry baskets, bags and boxes on their arms, which are full of fresh fruits to eat.

  Mothers and daughters don’t care about seeing each other more or less. Once they get together, they will have endless things to say, talk about their thoughts, talk about family affairs, praise their husbands, and naturally they will also talk about trivial troubles.

  When it was time for dinner, the daughter went into the kitchen with her mother again, like when she was not married before, she cooked a good meal in a bowl and cooked a good meal, to be filial to her parents.

  The girl looked after the mother, and the man stayed at home doing chores before the wheat harvest.

Otherwise, it is said that when the mango seed meets Duanyang (Dragon Boat Festival), ten families set fire to nine families, which means that at this season, there are many relatives, and people with small mouths only leave a man at home to guard the wheat fields. Sometimes it is inevitable that something will go wrong and set fire to If you are sloppy when cooking, or you are too busy to forget, it is easy to cause a fire.

During the wheat harvest season, a fire is a scary thing, especially for people close to the wheat fields. If there is a little spark that splashes out, the guy will suffer a big crime. A fire swept up, which can burn most of the village's rations for a year. , The half-yellow wheat was burned by the fire in such weather, and the crackling flames shot into the sky. With the addition of the southeast wind, it could sweep dozens of acres of land in the blink of an eye, and it would be impossible to save it by then.

   So these days, large water tanks are placed on the ridges of many wheat fields to store a whole tank of water in case of an accident.

   But no matter what you say, the village has obviously been lively these two days.

   Even Mrs. Wang's house smelled of meat.

  Chen Ling had nothing to do at home for the past two days, so he discussed with Wang Susu and planned to open a small pond at home, plant some lotus flowers, and raise some fish.

  It wasn't just a waste of money, so Wang Susu naturally wouldn't refuse, so he attacked him and dug a small pond to the east of the grape trellis.

   This morning, the young couple had just finished their work when the two dogs in the house suddenly barked, followed by the sound of a motorcycle engine from far to near.

  Chen Ling thought that Chen Erzhu's grandson was here again, so he got up and went to the door to see.

   As a result, he walked out the door and saw a tall, black and strong young man on a yellow scooter, grinning at him with his big head sticking out, and behind him was a girl in a white shirt with ponytails.

   "Hey, Lingzi, I didn't expect it to be me."

   "Chuangzi!"

   Chen Ling was really startled when he saw these two people.

   "Good guy, why are you here, come home, come home."

  Wang Susu hurried out when she heard the voice.

  Chen Ling introduced her that this is her friend who played well in the city, the one who was about to get married this year as mentioned last time.

   Wang Su has always been impressed by this incident, because Chen Ling came back late that day, so she remembered it more clearly.

   Immediately afterwards, together with Chen Ling, they invited Han Chuang to their home.

   "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is good."

  Han Chuang smiled naively at Wang Susu, then pointed to the girl beside him and introduced them to the two: "This is my partner, Jiang Xiaoqing..."

   After saying this, he winked at Chen Ling, showing off a bit.

   Jiang Xiaoqing is not tall and a little fat.

   But the face is not bad, big eyes, slightly big and thick lips, round face, but very white skin, with two small dimples when he smiles.

   After seeing Wang Susu, a look of surprise and amazement flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly called sister-in-law hello.

   Then he smiled and nodded at Chen Ling.

   When he entered the yard and parked his motorcycle, Han Chuang brought a big basket down. There were cans, cakes, sugar cubes, and a lot of snacks to eat.

   Bring it over and let Chen Ling put it away.

  Chen Ling punched him in the chest and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, what else did you bring to my house, and those who didn't know thought you were the son-in-law with hairy feet and came back to the door."

   "Then, that, that the first time you come to your house, you can't come empty-handed..."

  Han Chuang stuck his neck and stammered.

   Then I said it, it turned out to be a wedding invitation.

  According to the custom, he should not be the one who sent the wedding invitation, but he felt that he had a good time with Chen Ling, and now Chen Ling didn't go to the county town very much, and rarely saw him, so he ran over in person.

   Jiang Xiaoqing can follow this matter, which means that the girl doesn't mind.

   So Chen Ling and his wife naturally didn't say anything, so they made tea, arranged melon seeds and peanuts, and entertained them wholeheartedly.
