My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 457 Coincidence

   Sensing his wife's gaze, Chen Ling smiled awkwardly. He can't be blamed for this.

  Wang Lixian also said it in his own home, and he didn't say it outside on purpose.

  Who would have thought that their family, Liu Nier, would take people to catch gadflies.

   I really didn’t care about anything after hearing that the eggs laid by the gadfly’s chicken were delicious. It’s all because of the food.

   "Where did you catch the gadfly?"

  While asking, he brought them into the farm and gave medicine to the baby pig.

   "It's in Laohewan, where all the cattle in our village are grazed, and there are a lot of gadflies."

  When Liu Nier said this, she became energetic.

   Then he took out the canning jar and showed him that the inside was densely packed like flies, full of killed gadflies.

   "You guys are really good at it. If you get stung by a gadfly, it's fine. If you go to the ox to beat the gadfly, you won't be afraid of the burdock kicking you."

   Chen Ling laughed.

   How hard it is to catch this thing and feed it to the chickens.

   Only the little dolls have the energy and energy.

   "Don't be afraid, we are familiar with those cows, and basically follow Snot Boy and the others to herd cows after school every day.

  We helped those cows slap the gadfly, they were all very happy. "

  The cows raised by the villagers are all half-grown cows that have just grown up. The children often go to feed them. If they are often brought out to let them go, the cows will soon become familiar with them.

   "Liu Ni'er is right, the medicine Aunt Su Su made really works, and it doesn't hurt when you put it on."

  At this moment, Zhu Waer forgot about the pain after his scar healed, and before he wiped off his tears, he smiled and ran over to **** Liu Nier's bottle containing the gadfly.

   "Uncle Fugui, you don't know that the gadfly bites people very painfully. I didn't know why the cow was so uncomfortable before. Good guy, when it bit me, it hurt so much that I almost jumped up."

  Pig Baby gestured, his little face covered in dirty sweat marks was still full of fear.

   "These monkeys deserve what they deserve."

  Wang Lishan scratched his big bald head, and said disgustedly: "Going to catch the gadfly if you don't understand anything, is the gadfly so easy to catch?

  Running to people and chasing something that can’t be chased away, and even grabbing it, isn’t it rushing to get stung? "

  The Gadfly still has this virtue.

  Different from flies, mosquitoes, etc., they will go away as soon as they are chased away.

   As for the gadfly, no matter how you try to drive it away, you won't be able to blow it away.

   Fly around you in different ways and fight guerrilla with you.

   I have to sting you and **** your blood before giving up.

   "Hmph, once you get stung and hurt once, you will have a long memory next time. If your Aunt Susu's medicine didn't work, you would have been swollen for ten and a half months."

   "Brother Lishan, you need to apply some ointment every day, it's hot now."

   "Oh, ok, I heard from Liu Nier that it was almost autumn last time, so it took three or four days to wipe it off.

   This gadfly is very poisonous. Without your medicine, it won't be swollen for seven or eight days. "

  There is a local saying: ‘The closer to the water, the more poisonous the bugs. '

   This gadfly is such a poisonous insect. The key is that it carries more germs. When that guy bites, it is swollen, painful and itchy. The short one lasts for seven or eight days, and the long one really takes half a month to heal.

   Much more serious than flies, mosquitoes and the like.

  Its mouthparts are also more powerful than flies and mosquitoes.

  Chen Ling patted Liu Nier on the back: "You too, you were bitten last year, and you don't have a long memory. If you take someone to catch a gadfly, you can only feed chickens a few times with that thing.

  After it rains at night, there are so many dragonflies in the morning. You might as well catch dragonflies. Now that there are fewer grasshoppers, you can feed them to chickens if you catch them. "

  Liu Nier scratched her head and laughed.

  These little devils have nothing else but a greedy mouth, they only remember to eat but not to fight.

  But each of them is quite sensible.

  Knowing that Chen Ling's house has a lot of delicious food, he wouldn't come here for nothing. He always thinks about coming here for a meal, and adults don't need to teach this at all.

  So even if they are a little mischievous, they are not annoying.

  …

  Because the curtains and mats in the past two years are worn out.

  And the main house in the village has to be replaced with a new one.

  So in the next few days, Chen Ling's family weaved mats and curtains at home.

  This curtain is also made of bamboo.

Use bamboo strips that are thinner than chopsticks, put them together one by one, string them together, tie them together with hemp rope, and seal the four sides of the curtain with cloth to prevent the bamboo strips from stabbing your hands, and form a whole, like a rolling shutter door. I can roll it up.

  Of course, because it is a bamboo strip, there are gaps, very ventilated.

  Specially suitable for summer use.

  It can also prevent mosquitoes from flying into the room.

  It was too hot, and Wang Susu, a pregnant woman, stopped going to the village pharmacy for consultation.

  The main reason is that fewer people get sick in summer.

   Unless there are intractable diseases or minor illnesses, I generally don’t come to the traditional Chinese medicine shop. If I have a headache, drink some granules, or take a nap and rest, and I will fight it.

   Country people are not so delicate.

  It seems that Chen Ling went out to work a few years ago. He was working as a dock porter in Guangdong Province. He met a big brother in his fifties who still carried two hundred catties of sacks without rest when he caught a cold and had a fever.

   Just say you sweat.

  Chen Ling looked dumbfounded. He couldn't carry two hundred catties by himself at that time.

  Young people have strength, but it is often only for a short period of time. They are young and have not yet exercised their tenacity, and they will not work for a long time.

   It's not as good as an old guy in his fifties.

  So the pharmacy was deserted, so Wang Susu dried the medicinal materials at home, and weaved mats and curtains with Gao Xiulan and his wife.

  Chen Ling did some rough work that they couldn't do, such as breaking bamboo strips, polishing burrs, punching holes in bamboo strips and so on.

   For the rest, change the water for the ornamental fish, feed them, and play with the turtle.

  Or take the dog and eagle to the mountains in the morning and evening.

  Or just ride a horse to pick up Wang Zhenzhen.

   It is quite comfortable.

   After the busy days, the peaches are beginning to ripen.

   Originally, I waited for Sun Yanhong to finish picking the peaches and take them away, and I just waited for the tiger to come over with peace of mind.

  Unexpectedly, Han Chuang came to inform him suddenly on a scooter and asked Chen Ling to drink his son's full moon wine.

  Chen Ling remembered that Jiang Xiaoqing was pregnant much earlier than his own wife.

  Han Chuang didn't come here for a while, and he didn't come over for the Dragon Boat Festival. It turned out that he gave birth quietly.

  My good brother’s children’s full moon wine, of course I have to go.

  So after breakfast that day, Chen Ling picked a basket of peaches, brought his share of money, and rode over there on horseback.

   Now the roads in the county have been repaired.

  Even the road in Huangni Town has been repaired. It used to be impossible to pass through Huangni Town when it rained, but now it is spacious and flat, and there is no need to detour. The little green horse runs happily all the way.

   Lively drank a full moon wine at Han Chuang's house.

  Now Chen Ling is well-known, and most of them know him when his name is mentioned, let alone Huangni Town, which is the place where the entire Lingyun opened a factory.

  When that guy heard that it was him, people toasted him everywhere.

  Seeing this, Han Chuang didn't feel like he was being robbed of the limelight, but was extremely happy and proud.

   In the end, Chen Ling was not drunk, but got him drunk.

   It’s okay to be drunk.

   Unexpectedly, the next day, this kid came to look for Chen Ling on his motorcycle again before he fully woke up from the wine.

   Said to help their family pick peaches.

  This kid is tall and strong, and he is indeed a good worker.

   But seeing that the smell of alcohol is still on his body, why not pick some peaches, drink a cup of tea to wake up the bar.

   "Ling, Lingzi, let me ask you, sister-in-law, has there been any change before and after giving birth to the baby? Just, just this change in temper."

  Han Chuang drank two cups of tea, and after his eyes gradually cleared up, he pulled Chen Ling and asked in a low voice.

   "Changes in temper?"

  Chen Ling smiled: "There is no change, why do you ask this suddenly?"

   "Hey, my brother, you don't know, once Xiaoqing, she, she is pregnant and has a baby, it's, it's like a different person..."

  Han Chuang said with a sad face: "She was so, so gentle before, but now she starts to lose her temper with me, always saying that I can't do well here, and I can't do well there.

   He also said that I didn’t do anything at home all day and couldn’t earn money.

   Every now and then he scolds me.

  After losing his temper, he was still crying, and he was so angry that he made one head and two big ones. "

   Speaking of this, the tall and strong man of 1.9 meters almost cried.

   "Hahaha, so you meant this."

  Chen Ling understood immediately, and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "It's normal for women to be emotionally unstable during pregnancy. Your sister-in-law became very nagging when she was born Ruirui."

  He thought it was no wonder he ran over just after finishing the full moon wine, so he came from hiding.

So he said to him again: "At this time, don't make Xiaoqing angry when you are at home. Just after confinement, it is normal to be more angry... Many pregnant women are anxious and depressed during pregnancy. You can talk to Xiaoqing's classmates and friends about this. I think yesterday There are quite a few who have passed away, and when they have nothing to do, they call them home to chat and talk."

   "Uh, Lingzi, you, you, you mean this is normal, right?"

  Han Chuang widened his eyes, and then quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought Xiaoqing was really impatient with me, and we've only been married for more than a year..."

   "What are you thinking?"

  Chen Ling glanced at him speechlessly, "Don't you and Xiaoqing like rabbits? A friend left here a litter of little rabbits and didn't take them away. You can take them back and raise them to play with when you leave.

   There are also two litters of kittens, a crossbreed of mountain raccoons and domestic cats. If you want, I will also catch two for you. These little things are very cute. Take them back to make you two happy. "

  Han Chuang looked happy, and nodded again and again: "The rabbit is fine, and the little rabbit can be worry-free."

   Then he said a little embarrassed: "Lingzi, when you mentioned this, I suddenly remembered that Xiaoqing said that he wanted to eat crayfish like yours. Can you teach me how to do it?"

"That's easy to say, let alone crayfish. When you go back, I'll bring you some fried cicada monkeys and fried small fish. My family can't finish picking peaches in a day. Come over tomorrow and I'll bring you some more. "

  Chen Ling smiled slightly. It's normal for a pregnant woman to want to eat something heavy in oil and salt to satisfy her cravings after giving birth.

   Controlling diet during pregnancy can suffocate people.

  Wang Susu was like this at the time, he didn't know what was going on.

   "Hey, I said it was right to come to you, Lingzi, you know."

  Han Chuang understood what was going on when he heard it, and immediately flushed with excitement, looking forward to the delicious food to cure his daughter-in-law's bad temper.

   At this time, he finally sobered up.

  The two of them packed up and went to the orchard outside to pick the ripe peaches from the peach trees and began to pick them.

  Chen Ling's peaches taste better than apricots this year.

  Wash the peach hair, break open one, it is crispy and sweet, the peach flesh inside is obviously red, and the redder the place, the sweeter it is.

   Not only sweet, but also juicy.

   But at the same time, it is more bug-bitten than apricots.

  Before, Chen Ling thought about waiting for the peaches to be fully ripe before picking them, so he could pull them away, but now, the ripe peaches are very sweet, and they attract too many insects to bite, so forget it.

  Pluck as much as it is ripe, and let the little sheep take it away.

   Perhaps he was counting on Chen Ling to cook him something delicious.

   Han Chuang is very energetic.

   Carrying the ladder, he followed Chen Ling to finish picking off the tree, and picked off the one from the next tree.

   Before noon, I picked two and a half baskets of peaches.

   Chen Ling saw that the sun was getting hotter, so he asked him to rest, otherwise picking peaches in a tree would be different from hiding under a tree to cool off. The sun makes people dizzy.

   After drinking some water and eating two teeth of watermelon, the two of them took net pockets and buckets to the reservoir to catch crayfish.

   "Ling, Lingzi, when are you going to fight the tiger?"

   "It's coming soon, it will be here in a few days."

  The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived at the reservoir, there was no one there in this hot weather, and the two of them were not interested in staying longer, so they quickly took off their shoes and went into the water, touched half a bucket of shrimp, and then they were about to call it a day and go back.

   "Hey? Crabs? There are a lot of crabs under this rock. Can we catch crabs?"

  As soon as he put on his shoes, Han Chuang found that there were crabs hiding under the rocks under his buttocks. He turned around and found that there were crabs under almost every rock.

   "What are you doing catching that? It's not the time to eat crabs yet. The current crabs have very little crab paste and crab roe, so I can't eat them."

  Chen Ling shook his head. If he had to catch them, these crabs could be eaten after frying, but to be honest, they didn't have any meat, so they were better than frying a pot of scorpions.

   "Actually, rice field eels are more delicious at this time. I will order two rice field eel cages tonight. If you come tomorrow, let's make two more dishes."

  Han Chuang was immediately refreshed. Besides the crayfish in Chen Ling's house, he missed the rice field eel. The first time he came to his house, he ate the rice field eel, which is still unforgettable.

   Speaking of the eel, Han Chuang slapped his head: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. My brother wanted to ask you yesterday, but after thinking about it, the full moon wine is a happy event, so I didn't mention it at the time...

  My brother’s cannery, it’s not doing well this year, and it’s a bit difficult to keep going.

  Seeing that canned meat can no longer be made, and fruit is also difficult to make, I would like to ask your opinion, what should I do now? "

  They all thought that Chen Ling's vision was stronger, and he could make a lot of money by worrying about it, how could his vision be so bad?

   What's more, the people who interacted with Chen Ling were also very powerful people in their eyes, and they would definitely be able to ask him.

"Xiaoqing actually lost his temper with me because of this matter, saying that this year is not easy to do anything, and many young people have gone out to work. My brother also means this. If it is impossible, our brothers will go out to work to earn money. Xiaoqing Very opposed, alas..."

  When Chen Ling heard this, he pondered for a while, and said, "If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with this cannery...It's too hot outside, let's talk about it when we get home."

  Recently, my second uncle, Wang Qingzhong, also wrote a letter saying that he should follow his advice and plan to start the business of t-shirts.

   It's a coincidence that Han Chuang also brought up this matter now, and they coincided with each other.
