My 1995 Small Farm - Chapter 348

  Chapter 348 New Animals Come Home

   There are a lot of toys in the house, but Rui Rui likes the toys of other children.

   I don’t know what’s wrong.

   Fortunately, this baby Rui Rui has inherited the genes of Chen Ling and Wang Susu perfectly. She is extremely beautiful, white and plump, carved in pink and jade, just like a porcelain doll, clean, cute, and extremely likable.

  The little boy in the village likes to play with him very much, there are delicious food and fun things to remember about this boy.

   One by one expecting that Rui Rui would run off the ground and take him out to go crazy.

   Stayed at Wang Jusheng’s house for a while, and seeing that lunch was about to be made, they stopped staying and ran back with the baby.

  Wang Jusheng saw that Zhou Weijun was thinking about dried sweet potatoes, so he made half a bag and let him carry it, which made the old boy couldn’t close his mouth with joy, and immediately stuffed Wang Jusheng half a pack of cigarettes.

   “You have a lot of good things in your village. I usually shoot in the south of the Yangtze River. I rarely stay in the northern countryside for so long. I can’t bear to leave here.”

   Zhou Weijun stuffed dried sweet potatoes into his mouth as he walked, and ate and chewed like a big mouse, letting Ruirui lie on Chen Ling’s shoulder and stare at him.

   “Where are you going, Lao Zhou, you are all eating small things, haven’t you eaten the real good things yet?”

  Chen Ling said, and gave him a few examples, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running in the mountains, and Zhou Weijun was stunned.

   “Good guy, then I can stay for a while longer.”

   There are a lot of delicious food, and you can sleep soundly here. Zhou Weijun is really reluctant to leave such a good place.

   I originally thought that I was just meeting my pen pals and simply came here to play, how could I have imagined that this place would give him such a big surprise.

  There is no TV in every household here, and there are no various entertainment activities.

   But there are a lot of players who can play the same.

   After staying in the village for a few days, I felt as if my soul had been washed, my whole body and mind were much calmer, and a lot of impetuousness was eliminated.

  Wake up to the melodious chirping of birds in the morning, go for a walk up the mountain or walk the dog in the fields with the soft evening wind at night.

   Or go to a nearby village with Chen Ling and find some old people to learn some simple ventriloquism.

   also learned a lot of local anecdotes about birds.

   For example, the four-tone cuckoo of “quack quack”.

  The local people will make its distant and peaceful cry into a farmer-like jingle, such as: “Crack quack, grind sickle and hoe, quack quack, threw wheat and sow grain…”

  Because I heard its frequent calls, it means that the harvest season is coming.

   If it’s too late, when the voice changes, it will call: “If you count yellow, you will cut, if you count yellow, you will cut…”

  Why is it called that? Because it is about to rain, the wheat will not be harvested in time, which will cause huge losses.

   Zhou Weijun also knew the story of the lazy man who delayed the wheat harvest and turned into a cuckoo.

   In short, this old man with the appearance of Iron Man has gained a lot from this trip.

  There is another vast world in the countryside, this is true.

   Everyone is not isolated from the world, but lacks televisions, computers and other gadgets, which are popular entertainment activities that outsiders think.

   In fact, it can be seen from the little dolls that their entertainment activities are not many.

   Catch fish and shrimps, climb trees and catch birds, and have a lot of fun.

  The adults also know the nature of fish near the water, and the sound of birds near the mountain.

  The turtledove has a story.

  The cuckoo has a story.

   **** also have stories.

  In their free time, people will give them the brilliance of humanity according to their calls or their lazy and diligent temperament.

   After just a few days of understanding, Zhou Weijun, an old scholar, was dazzled.

   I think this is much more interesting than in the city.

   But he couldn’t stay as long as he wished. Within five days, someone called and called him away.

   Lao Zhou is interesting.

   Don’t look like a primary school student, and a little literary.

   But he wouldn’t be too intrusive when he went to anyone’s house, and with his generous hand, the villagers liked that Chen Ling took him to play at home.

When    drove away, Wang Jusheng followed Chen Ling to deliver the old boy, because the old boy had bought all his chili sauce and dried sweet potatoes before leaving.

  We also bought a lot of bacon from other villagers.

   has made Chen Ling gain a lot of favors. They all told him to have such friends at home next time, so he should go to his house more and not be afraid that they will cause trouble.

   made Chen Ling speechless for a while, how did the feelings still generate income for everyone?

  …

   Lao Zhou, the pen pal, is gone.

  Chen Ling is still holding the baby and often wandering outside.

   Recently he was still looking for a suitable female cat.

  There are many female cats in estrus in spring.

  Unfortunately, Chen Wangzhuang is not easy to find. In the past two days, he often rides a motorcycle with his baby to visit some old friends in other villages, or goes to the market, finds a few cats, and picks up livestock.

   After coming down several times, the animals were picked.

  After the warm spring, the large animals such as mules and horses are in estrus, which is the peak season for frequent transactions.

   But this year, due to the drought, a lot of livestock got sick.

  The price is lower than in previous years.

   Of course it’s not too low, it’s neither painful nor itchy for Chen Ling.

   It’s not that the price is cut in half. It’s a few hundred dollars cheaper and a few hundred more expensive. For him, who has his own special purpose, there is not much difference.

  Should buy or buy.

   “Uncle Fugui, I haven’t seen you for a while, the baby is so old, will she run away?”

  Chen Ling was passing by Kinmen Village on a motorcycle, Ernier and her husband Liu Hongxing saw it and they hurriedly said hello.

   And in Chen Ling’s arms, a little baby was wrapped in a strap and tied tightly in his arms.

  The little baby is wearing a hat and a small brown dress with a bunny pattern, and is happily holding a water bottle.

   When he saw someone talking, he quickly looked over with two black eyes.

   “No, where can I run now? It’s only been over eight months, and I can just crawl on the ground.”

  Chen Ling stopped the motorcycle and laughed.

This stinky boy of his own doesn’t look clean and beautiful, but he doesn’t know how dirty he is. Every time he feeds the puppy and the kitten in the morning, he has to crawl back and forth on the ground with a bunch of little things to play for a while, crawling so loudly. A quick, giggling, giggling, scratching and scratching the puppies, able to chase the puppies away.

   Even Heiwa Xiaojin can’t do anything about him.

   That is, he is small and strong, and his bones are well developed. Other little boys can’t do this.

  Let Wang Susu be noisy all the time, saying that the baby is only eight months old, the clothes will be dirty in less than half a day, and it will be better if she grows up.

  Chen Ling doesn’t care. It’s really hard to take a bath every night.

   “Rui Rui is so powerful that she will crawl on the ground. Let my sister hug him.” Ernier smiled and reached out to hug him.

   But this stinky boy doesn’t do it. Usually he likes to find young girls, but today his father took him out to ride a motorcycle. He likes the feeling of a motorcycle galloping on the road.

  No, he is now dodging Ernier’s outstretched hand, while his two small hands patted the motorcycle’s fuel tank, frowning and urging Chen Ling to hurry away.

   “Oh, look at him like this now, he wants me to run around with him, he doesn’t want to find you…”

  Chen Ling laughed humbly and held the stinky boy tightly in his arms. Every time he came out for the past two days, he used a strap made by Wang Susu to tie his son in his arms, which was very firm.

  The little guy can also see the scenery.

   Ernier angrily tugged at his chubby face: “You little thing, last year you fell asleep in my arms and refused to come out.”

   Then he and Liu Hongxing chatted with Chen Ling for a while, and watched them leave on a motorcycle.

  Today is a meeting in Changle Township.

  Chen Ling wanted to go around the mule market and pick a few cattle and livestock back.

   wandering around these days, he heard a lot of people say that livestock is cheap.

   When I came to Luoma City, I saw that many of them were sick horses and donkeys. Could this be cheap?

   The smell of Luomashi is unpleasant.

  Rui Rui, this little baby, made Xun cough and sneezed several times.

   So Chen Ling couldn’t choose well.

   happened to see some familiar figures leading the sale of livestock.

   For example, the white donkey and white mule that I saw last year have not been sold yet.

   And that man’s white horse was kicked to death.

  Old Yang Yu’er from Yangtougou, I don’t know if he supplied Xiao Qingma or added some money to him.

   Anyway, now he is holding one green and two white to sell it there.

  Chen Ling stepped forward to ask, the price was really not expensive, and immediately paid the deposit without saying a word, and went to buy a new bridle.

   Bought all the blue and white.

   One blue horse is a mare, and two white ones are a mule and a donkey.

   is just about scalpers.

  Chen Ling saw that his son couldn’t stand the taste of the place, so he simply didn’t buy it this time, and came over by himself next time.

   rode a motorcycle, plucked two handfuls of grass and a leafy branch from the cave, put them behind the motorcycle, and seduced them to follow.

   It is this little mare who runs too fast and has a strong temper.

When    was snatching food, he kept kicking the donkey and mule.

  Chen Ling had no choice but to give up this method.

   When he arrived at the river, he took advantage of the time he had given the animals to feed and drink.

   is still simpler.

When    quickly reached the outside of Kinmen Village, I found a chance to release them.

   He was tied to a motorcycle with ropes, and with three animals, he walked home slowly and leisurely.

   One green and two white entered the village, and the villagers gathered around after seeing it.

   Mainly because Chen Ling brought back two white donkeys and white mules. Everyone thought he liked white ones, so he chose white ones to buy.

  Chen Ling hurriedly said no. He only said that he had seen it last year. Knowing the situation, there were many sick donkeys and sick horses this spring.

   When you ask about the price, it is really cheaper than last year.

  I wanted to buy one, but thinking that Chen Ling said there were too many sick animals, and worried about the waste of money, I had to give up the idea.

  Liunier and a group of little boys rode on the big toon tree in the village and picked young shoots.

  In spring, this thing is a vegetable. It is delicious and not expensive. Parents often send these restless bears up the tree to pick them.

  The trees in the village are often made to climb, step on, and swing, and there are many horizontal branches, which are easy to climb.

  There were little babies on the tree, and there were also a group under the tree, holding baskets and baskets, and kept shouting.

At this time, Chen Ling’s father and son were riding on a motorcycle, and they came slowly with three large animals behind them. Liu Ni’er on the tree shouted loudly, “Uncle Fugui, are you buying animals again? Did you buy them and keep them? Eating meat during Chinese New Year?”

   “Yo, how did you know?”

  Chen Ling stopped the motorcycle and looked up at them.

   “Hey, did I get a prize if I guessed right?” Liu Nier squatted on the branch and smiled.

  Chen Ling also found it funny: “There is a prize, I will kill the meat and let you eat it. Tell me what you guessed?”

   “Hey, you have a tractor in your house. It’s an iron animal. It doesn’t have to be a live animal? You must have bought it for food, am I right?”

   “Okay, I have reason and evidence, I really told you the right thing…”

  Chen Ling laughed and praised, then started the motorcycle and continued to walk: “You guys play, pay attention to safety.”

   “Don’t rush to go, Uncle Fugui, I’ll give you some toon, we pick a lot.”

   The little boys shouted and gave Chen Ling a bunch of tender toon leaves.

When    lunch, Chen Ling made it all.

  Toon is fresh and tender.

  Toon scrambled eggs, Toon sprouts mixed with tofu.

  The two dishes are ready, wash the rest and put them in a bowl, sprinkle some salt, find a lid to cover, marinate for a day or two, and then you can eat.

   has a different flavor.

  Toon is what we eat in spring.

  Although this thing is worthless in the country, but I still think about it without eating it for a year, and suddenly I eat it, all Chen Ling’s family eats it deliciously.

  Chen Ling planted many fruit trees in the cave.

   It’s just that ordinary trees are rarely transplanted, and this toon tree is also regarded as an ordinary tree by him, and he always ignored it before.

  This time I inserted two branches to make it grow. When I think about it in the future, it is also convenient to eat.

   Wang Susu had nothing to do in the afternoon, the young couple hugged their son and led three animals back to the farm to settle down.

   When the new animals came into the house, they were not fed or watered in the village, for fear that they would urinate randomly.

  It doesn’t matter if you keep them in the orchard when you reach the farm.

After    settled beside the sheepfold, he brought a bucket of water and hay to feed them.

  The water in the house is diluted spiritual water. The animals drink it to get rid of the disease and strengthen the body without disease.

   So that when you come to your new home, you won’t get acclimatized and start getting sick.

   These three animals may have potential lesions. As soon as Chen Ling fed them a few buckets of water, they pulled and urinated in the pen, and the excretion time was extremely long.

   makes Wang Susu, who is not aware of the situation, very worried.

After the    line, her spirits became better, and she felt relieved.

  Chen Ling was delighted to see this, cleaned the feces, and rinsed the circle with water.

   There are many poultry and livestock on the farm, and it will inevitably smell when the weather is warm.

   So Chen Ling is often washed with water. After washing, he gathers some leaves and ignites them with smoke. The deodorization effect is very good.

Wang Susu really liked these three big animals, one green and two white, and they looked very attractive, so she handed her son to Chen Ling to hold, saying that they were so beautiful, the previous owner didn’t know how to take good care of them, how dirty they are, finished You have to wash them by yourself.

  As soon as the water was prepared, and before the washing started, Xiao Bai Niu hurried over from not far away and approached Wang Susu.

  Good guy, the always good-tempered little white cow is actually jealous.

   stopped Wang Susu from playing coquettishly and rolling on the ground, preventing her from washing one green and two white.

   Such a big cow, he actually rolls on the ground coquettishly, humming in his mouth.

   Let Chen Ling watch him happily.

   “A Ling, stop laughing, come and get Xiaobai away.” Wang Susu stomped her feet anxiously, not knowing what happened to her cow.

   “Hey, Xiaobai feels out of favor. Instead of brushing his hair, he goes to brush the new animal. Isn’t he jealous and uncomfortable.”

  Chen Ling smiled and said, “You and Rui Rui take Xiaobai to play, I’ll just wash the new animals, they are dirty, so as not to get you all over.”

   Wang Susu had no choice but to leave this errand to her husband.

  Chen Ling saw his daughter-in-law carrying his son and taking the cattle for a walk in the fruit forest. He shook his head and smiled. He put on water shoes, sleeves, and put on old clothes to wash the three new animals.
