My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 343 Dog hunting by motorcycle

  The new year comes and goes quickly.

  The weather is getting warmer, and the winter snow has melted.

  Chen Ling also took off a layer of thick clothes early.

   As soon as he got up in the morning to sweep the yard, the farm fell into a flock of pigeons.

   This is a pigeon raised at home, it has been in the village all the time, but after settling down, it does not stay out of the house all day, but often fly around.

   fell to the farm every three or five times.

  No, after flying over, he stood on the top of the building and walked around, making a screeching noise in the early morning.

   walked on the roof facing the sun for a while, saw Chen Ling sweeping the floor, flew down again, and begged for food after him.

   Pigeons are like this. Sometimes they are not the owner. If you go to feed them, they will fall into the hands of people, and they will be touched when they eat. They are very docile.

   Pigeons are docile and lovable in one aspect, but it is also extremely frustrating to beg for food.

  People haven't had breakfast yet, but they are more eager to eat than anyone else. Chen Ling had no choice but to put a bowl of corn kernels out, and before he had time to sprinkle it on the ground, the pigeons flew to his hands and arms, flapping their wings and starting to snatch. The bowl was full of pointed corn kernels. To rob.

  It is a blessing to be able to eat, so Chen Ling took out another bowl and continued to feed them.

   The little pigeons from last year have grown up now. They are still in the majority of the pigeons, but they are still mostly gray and black, but there are also one or two special ones that have pockmarked backs.

  The so-called hemp-backed pigeons have pierced mouths and pea-eyes. The backs are almost completely white, and the black spots are extremely small. They are more prettier than ordinary pigeons.

   In simple terms, the wings are black and white, like fish scales, and they are scattered.

   The pockmarked back is not the back, but the pockmarks with black spots on the white ground are the wings of the pigeon.

   In short, Chen Ling was somewhat satisfied that he could raise two pigeons of different colors.

   Thinking of breeding several more times to cultivate more beautiful pigeons.

  White pigeons, black pigeons, flowers, all kinds of colors and categories.

   Anyway, he likes pigeons, eagles, and fun birds. He will bring out the parrots another day. Those parrots are also leather, and they have already hatched their eggs in the cave.

   It seems that the more and more they are raised, when you are free, go to the market to go to the market to sell birds.

   That is also very pleasant and fun.

   Thought with joy, Chen Ling finished feeding the pigeons, then went to feed the chickens and ducks, feed the sheep, and clean up the excrement.

  This is not good in winter. There is no food outside, so you can't put them all out.

   Eating, drinking and lhasa are all in the circle, and they have to be fed and watered, and they have to be cleaned, and they have to take care of everything.

   Fortunately, we don’t feed them, and the water source at home is better. Even if they urinate a lot, they should be treated in time every day, and the smell will not be too bad.

   This is actually not obvious in chickens, ducks and sheep, but more obvious in pigs.

  The feces of the feed pigs are stinky, but the domestic pigs are much better.

  Chen Ling's family's food and drink are all good things, and naturally they don't taste much.

   Even sheep with a strong urine smell is much lighter than others.

   After cleaning the manure, go to milk the goat.

   There are now five dairy goats on the farm, and the rest are all black goats.

   Rui Rui has been weaned recently, and he will be eight months old in a few days. He doesn’t need to buy milk powder for him. He cooks some goat milk every day, and eats some eggs with rice porridge.

  …

  The first month is the idle month, and the weather is showing signs of warming. The villagers often gather in the place where the sun is warm in the afternoon, weave baskets and weave baskets, talk about the world, and continue the unfinished projects in the winter months.

  Chen Ling was also free. There was nothing to do at home, and he didn't need to visit relatives. He simply took Wang Lixian and a few people to Wangbacheng to buy a tractor and came back.

   In addition to a tractor, he also built a motorcycle.

   There were not many people when we went, but after driving the tractor back, the word spread quickly.

  The little kids ran to tell each other, and went home and called the adults to watch.

   "Master, Uncle Fugui bought a new tractor and came back. It's at the farm. Let's go and have a look."

   "Da, the wealthy uncle's family bought a motorcycle, the big red one, the wheels are so high, you can drive without pedaling, it runs very fast..."

  When the villagers rushed over one after another, Chen Ling's family was welcoming the entry of the new machine outside the farm.

Under the warm sunshine, a burst of firecrackers rang out from the farmhouse, and the open space outside the farmhouse was suddenly enveloped in blue smoke. The familiar smell of gunpowder wafted away with the blue smoke, and a large number of birds in the forest flew away, rushing to watch the lively villagers. All of them stretched their heads with smiles, looking at the tractors and motorcycles parked outside the farm.

  The brand-new agricultural machinery is very bright in color, with the big red silk on the machine, and the sound of firecrackers, the joy immediately rushed to the face.

   Motorcycles are also red.

  Fixed on the tractor with ropes and brackets and pulled it back, Chen Ling and the others had already ridden a few laps.

   But you don't need to meet motorcycles, you should meet big machines, iron animals that can work at home, and tractors.

After the firecrackers went off, Chen Ling took out a cigarette and scattered the men around. Then, under the hopeful eyes of men, women and children, he rode a motorcycle and spun around on the dirt road and in the wild.

   "Uncle Fugui, can I try riding on it?"

   After watching Chen Ling ride in a circle, a group of young people stretched their heads, swallowed their saliva, and were eager to try.

  Chen Ling glanced at the crowd, saw the old and young men looking expectantly, and said with a smile: "Wen Chao, Xiao Jiu, come up and ride around. Everyone, don't rush, don't worry."

  The younger ones come first, and the older ones come a little later.

   Where is the gear shift, where is the gas pedal, and where is the brake.

   After teaching one by one, not to mention the men, even some mother-in-law rode up to learn a circle.

   I was just scared enough when I was learning.

This is a big motorcycle that Chen Ling bought. If the women are not tall, they can't step on the ground, it's a bit difficult to ride, and it's hard to change gears. They don't have much experience in riding motorcycles. stop.

   After all, my feet can’t step on the ground, and I can’t even hold my feet up.

   In the end, the men had to gather around and end.

   After the thrilling motorcycle ride, I drove the tractor again, which was as lively as a wedding.

  Chen Ling also let them go.

   In the end, the little dolls were not enough, so Chen Ling rode on it himself, took five or six little dolls at a time, whizzed back and forth on the dirt road and the wheat field, and the little dolls shouted excitedly.

   "It's still rich and generous, this machine can't stop burning oil, it's all money."

   "Fugui, it seems that you are preparing for a big job this year. You have bought a tractor and a motorcycle. Don't you want to build a greenhouse?"

  The villagers were praising Chen Ling for his generosity, but Wang Laishun felt that Chen Ling would not buy these two things for no reason.

   "No, at least not this year."

  Chen Ling shook his head. How tiring is it to grow a greenhouse. If you want to do it in the future, you will have to hire someone to do it. But this year, he definitely has no intention of doing it. He only wants to raise fish, raise dogs, and raise cattle.

   And there are new changes in prices this year, just do your own thing safely and steadily according to the original plan.

   Now there is no need to go to the market to sell eggs.

   Pickled salted eggs and wait for someone to come and collect them.

  On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Jiancheng came to the farm to take away a batch of salted eggs, which was negotiated years ago.

   As a result, Liu Jiancheng returned from the city within two days, saying that after the gift was delivered, his wife and mother-in-law tried to sell it in the city, and they were surprised by the sales.

   Many people visit relatives in the first month, and salted eggs sell very fast, especially salted duck eggs are the fastest.

  This salted egg is delicious, once eaten, it is unforgettable.

   Therefore, even if it is not a festival in the future, there is still a place to sell it, and I am not afraid that no one will buy it.

   "Then you want to fish? I think you built a farm last year, so you built a few canals, which are full of fish."

   "That's right, we raise fish and sell them."

  Chen Ling planned to go out for the first lunar month and take the well-raised ornamental fish out for a walk, not only in this city, but also in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

  Wang Laishun would have misunderstood and thought it was fish, so he asked, "Do you want to go out to deliver the tractor yourself?"

   "If you don't give it away, it's too much trouble to give it to others. This tractor is used as an animal, and you do farm work at home when the farming is busy."

Chen Ling's words and the expression on his face caused everyone to laugh, and he said to Wang Laishun, "Five uncles, look at you asking this question, is wealthy and noble like that? He doesn't do the laborious work. "

   "Fugui, can this fruit tree bear fruit this year? I can see that this 30 mu of land is also harvested."

   "Yes, there must be a harvest, even if the flowers haven't bloomed yet, I don't know what the harvest will be like."

   "What are you afraid of, don't you have a good guy who has a cannery at home, and even the worst harvest can keep the capital."

  Chen Ling didn't say much about this. He smiled and greeted people to drink tea at the farm. He, Wang Lixian and others drove the tractor and motorcycle to the back of the farm.

   This year's fruit trees are about to bear fruit.

   But the harvest is unknown. People who really plant fruit trees in mountains will not be as simple as Chen Ling.

  For fruit trees to ensure the harvest and sell them at a high price, it is inseparable from the meticulous care of people.

   is really more tiring than growing food, far from being so idle as Chen Ling.

   Of course he does not support his family by planting fruit trees.

   is also fearless about this.

   All he relies on is good land and water sources, and he is not worried about the harvest of fruit trees.

  …

  Chen Ling's family added TVs last year, and agricultural machinery and motorcycles this year, which stimulated many villagers.

   But after the incident at Guangyun's house, no matter how many people are jealous, they don't dare to touch the bad head of Chen Ling's house.

   Chen Ling's training of bees was fruitless, but he managed to drive away snakes simply with the help of bamboo flute and improved snake-inducing medicine in Dongtian.

   Wild poisonous snakes will be obedient when they encounter him. After patient training, they will react in various ways.

   I believe that in the near future, snakes will be able to guard the farm.

   So he is not afraid at all.

In the evening, after an early meal, Chen Ling pushed the motorcycle out. Wang Susu was sitting behind him with the fat doll wrapped tightly in his arms, with the headlights on, and a group of sturdy puppies beside the motorcycle. son.

Although these puppies don't look like little fat dogs, they're not lean either. They haven't changed their thick winter coats. They're still plump all over, like puppies and bears, but their legs are strong and slender. It is bigger than the dog in the village.

   "Go, go, go ahead."

  Tonight Chen Ling will take these little guys to hunt outside the village.

   is also the first time they have been away from Heiwa Xiaojin's teaching and hunted alone.

   Listening to his orders to the puppy, the little guy sandwiched between him and Wang Susu also restlessly learned his tongue, flicked a small foot, and made a vague "go go go" sound at the puppy.

  The puppies ran away, quickly running in the wheat field, after running for a certain distance.

  Chen Ling turned on the headlights of the motorcycle, and rode the motorcycle along the dirt road buzzingly. The lights of the motorcycle headlights kept strafing the wheat field.

   "There are rabbits in the east, let them chase them."

  Wang Susu stretched out his hand, Chen Ling hurriedly whistled, and the barking dog barking with a milky sound instantly rang out, and quickly chased after the rabbit.

  Chen Ling saw this and drove the motorcycle into the wheat field. The family of three sat on the motorcycle and led the dogs to chase the rabbit wildly.

   against the night wind.

  Wang Susu hugged the baby tightly and clutched Chen Ling's clothes tightly. The baby in her arms babbled excitedly, kept sticking her head, and followed the lights of the motorcycle back and forth to track the traces of the puppies.

   "Wow, got it."

  The rabbit jumped left and right, but still couldn't escape the ferocious puppies.

   was pushed to the ground in a short while.

   Wang Susu shouted excitedly and pointed in the direction for her husband and son to look.

   But the puppies only cared about eating, and they didn't take the rabbit back after they grabbed it.

  Chen Ling took a look and slapped his forehead. Come on, there is still more to teach in the future.
