My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 472 Cicada Shells for Popsicles

   "Hey, hey, hey... Ah Fu Ah Shou, what are you two doing, come down quickly."

   When encountering an energetic little boy, the two tigers with colorful patterns can only retreat. When they are tired from playing, they directly climb to the bed next to the tiger cage and the livestock pen.

  When Chen Ling saw this scene, he hurriedly stopped it, but the two stupid tigers would not listen. After climbing up, they arched their heads on the bed, turned sideways, and lay down on their backs.

  Close your eyes comfortably, I can't hear what you say.

  This is the disadvantage of enlightening wisdom.

  Knows how to get close to people, but likes to play childish temper.

   "His grandma's, disobedient, right?"

  Seeing that the two single beds were overwhelmed by the tiger and the mosquito nets were crushed, Chen Ling walked over angrily, raised his palm and slapped him.

   These two beds are used to watch the tigers here at night. They are covered with mats, pillows, and mosquito nets. They can be said to be clean.

   As a result, the two tigers were tossing about like this. You must know that they just played in the water, and they lay on the bed covered in mud. This guy can't get the things on the two beds.

  Can Chen Ling not be angry?

  He was not used to them, so he slapped them a few times as soon as he went up.

  But the two tigers were tortured by Ruirui, tired and sleepy, the key point is that they can't resist at all, they can only bear it, now lying on the bed, they feel really comfortable.

  Chen Ling beat them, but they only squinted their eyes, exposed their wet bellies, hugged his arm with their front legs, and snorted to keep him from moving.

   Chen Ling was helpless for a while.

   "These two little tigers are really too. After coming to your place, they have changed a lot. They have started to learn how to crawl on the bed in a few days."

  Xiao Li couldn't help laughing when he saw that Chen Ling was finally deflated.

  Now these two guys are still not wild and fierce, which reassures them a lot and makes them feel like teasing Chen Ling.

  Liu Jiancheng and the two also walked over with smiles, watching this novel scene.

  Not to mention the little dolls, they shouted excitedly again.

  Chen Ling also knew that these two guys wanted to climb up in the morning when they saw that they were in bed at night.

   "Climbing the bed is a trivial matter. The key is to make things messy and completely unacceptable."

   Chen Ling said with a dark face.

  If the single bed I made at home was not big enough and strong enough, the two tigers couldn't stand the tossing and fell apart.

  This is also the first time he feels that tigers are really not something ordinary people can raise.

   These big cats can’t be kept at home, let’s not talk about whether they can be kept at first, the key place is too small, and things in the house can’t stop them from causing harm.

  Next, this feeling is more profound.

  When Chen Ling's family was eating, they roared outside, and they couldn't do without people.

  Boy, can that be a trifle?

   Chickens and dogs jumped outside the farm, and the dogs in the village trembled and dared not make a sound.

   Chen Ling had no choice but to bring them home, but after a while, he grabbed a chicken bone from the dog and knocked over the table.

   After a while, he went to tease the little cat with his paw.

  Although the little cats are just mountain raccoons, they have gotten used to them in the past two days, and when they get annoyed, they also directly greet the tiger with their paws.

   While greeting, he barked ferociously.

  The two tigers were driven away, and they ran around the farm, knocking over many things along the way.

   Getting into trouble one after another, the two guys knew afterward that they had done something wrong, and they looked at Chen Ling pitifully with their big cat faces drooping.

   Chen Ling had nowhere to vent his anger.

  I thought to myself, I shouldn't enlighten these two silly tigers. I think that Heiwa Xiaojin was like this back then, and it took three or four months for her temper to improve.

  At that time, I didn’t feel much when I was still a puppy.

  But it was a disaster for two sub-adult tigers who were almost the size of adult tigers.

   "It's a good thing I have to leave tomorrow, otherwise I wouldn't dare to beat him up, and scolding him would be useless. I'm so sad."

  After the freshness, the two tigers became like bears, which caused a headache for the old men and women in the family.

   But that won't be the case anytime soon.

  Tiger's happy time is short-lived.

  They were on their way back to the zoo the next day.

   When he left, he didn't even see Chen Ling.

  Chen Ling didn't see the two tigers, just like the two little dolls, howling and roaring in the cage, reluctant to leave.

  He was called to the village by Wang Jusheng early in the morning.

  It is said that Wang Qingwen called the village from Fenglei Town, and asked Wang Jusheng to send a message, saying that Wang Cunye's cousin is gone, and the old man should hurry back as soon as possible.

   Got it.

  No one can do anything about this kind of thing.

  Chen Ling didn't even eat breakfast, so he rode on a motorcycle and took his father-in-law and sister-in-law to Fenglei Town.

   Arrive early and return to the village early.

  Gao Xiulan has to take care of Wang Susu, so she can't go back.

  So Wang Zhenzhen should go back with him.

   After all, it’s still a family. If one more person goes back, it will look better.

  After arriving in Fenglei Town, Chen Ling didn't rush back that day, but stayed in Yaowangzhai for a day.

  The main reason is that apart from the funeral, Wang Qingzhong was too excited.

  Those defective clothes made a lot of money. After only two shows, they were almost half sold. This boosted his confidence, and he started looking for someone to work for him.

  The couple pulled Chen Ling and talked about this and that.

  If my family is grateful, I will naturally not talk about it, it seems excessive.

  Just talk about when Susu will give birth, and let the two sister-in-laws go over to help take care of things.

  Chen Ling smiled knowingly and didn't say much.

  He knows better than anyone else the qualities of his two brothers-in-law, and he can trust them better than anyone else.

   Otherwise, I wouldn’t be willing to reach out.

  Presented in front of Wang Cunye many times.

  However, the previous Wang Qingzhong couldn't change his mind. He was afraid of losing money, afraid of being cheated, afraid of this and that, this is the most terrible thing.

   Fortunately, the idea Chen Ling gave him was not a big step.

   It is also relatively simple and safe to do.

   It can be said that it is very suitable for them who have little experience.

  As for selling food to make a difference, the gap is still a bit big, and the thought of spending is not in one place.

   After Chen Ling rushed home, he told his wife and mother-in-law that they were happy for their brothers together.

  …

   "Sell popsicles, sugar and mung bean popsicles, and change the popsicles for cicada shells."

  As soon as ten o'clock in the morning, the village popsicle sellers rang out. It was either a middle-aged man in a red vest or an old man in a straw hat.

  As long as you hear the sound of hawking, all the children in the village hula la will surround you.

   Each carried a cloth bag or a bag cut from a urea bag, and took out the cicada shells they had accumulated to exchange for popsicles.

  A popsicle is five cents.

  But after this year, prices have soared, and five cents suddenly seem worthless.

   If you want to talk about it, it's a dime or two, and five cents is not uncommon.

   Fortunately, the kids don’t have to worry about a dime or a five cent, just exchange it with a cicada shell.

  As soon as Chen Ling came out of the village yard with Ruirui in his arms, he met Liu Nier and the others surrounded by an old man's car, exchanging popsicles.

  The father-in-law and sister-in-law went back.

   Naturally, he has to do the daily work of herding sheep and raising children.

  The birds and pigeons raised in the yard of the village should not be forgotten to feed.

   "Uncle Fugui, give you a popsicle."

   "Uncle, eat mine."

   "Rui Rui also eats."

  As soon as Chen Ling came out, that guy, the kids who got popsicles rushed to hand them to him.

  He has never been stingy with these brats, and they are also very generous to him.

  He is the first to think of him when there are good things.

Some children even complained to him, saying that his grandma hid some good things and didn't let them take them out, and wanted to save them from eating, but he didn't want to be the first one to give them to Chen Ling, saying that if there were good things, he had to let Uncle Fugui taste them. .

  The old father-in-law and mother-in-law heard this, and laughed for a long time, saying that he really became the king of children.

   "Okay, okay, you can take it to the adults at home. It's hot, and I'm still working with Mr. Zhao."

   "I don't work at Grandpa Zhao's place anymore. My mother and I have been spraying the fields. There has been a lot of rain these days, and the corn is infested with insects."

   "Yes, it's the same at our house. They say that there are so many bugs this year that the birds can't eat them. They say they should spray the medicine quickly. If they don't, the corn seedlings will be eaten up."

  Hearing their yelling, Chen Ling knew in his heart that the environment was too good and there were more bugs.

  Plus the pheasants and wild birds and so on, being harmed by my own dog is not light. After all, I have a big appetite, so I have to go to the fields every day to find food.

Hearing this, the old man selling popsicles took out popsicles from the wooden box and said with a smile: "Your Chenwangzhuang has good soil, strong fertility, and even worms. Our crops don't grow well there, and the worms don't grow well." Neither came."

   "Yo, where is the old man from?"

   "In Qinwan, once there was a flood, the land would be even more useless."

  When there is a flood, in some places, the water will wash away the fertile soil, making the land more barren.

  In some places, fertile silt will be deposited, which will greatly increase the fertility of the soil, and crops will be harvested continuously in two or three years.

   "Qinwan is close to the county seat, and you have a lot of teachers and officials there, and you don't care about the money for an acre of land."

   Chen Ling smiled and said.

  Qin Qiumei and Qin Rongxian both belong to Qinwan, and there are indeed some people who eat public food there, and they are very famous.

   "They all belong to other people's homes, and we are ordinary people living a hard life."

  The old man kept talking, but after hearing what Chen Ling said, he still smiled happily.

   Then, while packing up the cicada shells and exchanging popsicles for the little ones, they talked about the former officials there.

   He obviously knew who Chen Ling was.

  Willing to brag in front of this celebrity.

  As long as Chen Ling nodded in response, it would be more fulfilling than talking to ordinary people.

   Before he could say a few words, Chen Ling quit the little thing in his arms, and wanted to come down to get a popsicle to eat.

   Liu Nier they gave him, but he didn't want it either.

   It will be in the box.

  Still scratching the small square hole on the box to look inside.

   "Good guy, this kid is the same as Fugui when you were a child. When you buy popsicles, first look at the popsicle box."

  Lao Niwai came out from the south with his little grandson and joked.

   Obviously also came to exchange popsicles.

   "...When Uncle Nianwai saw me, he had nothing else to do except expose me."

  Chen Ling shook his head and smiled helplessly.

  When he was a child, he was very curious and wanted to know what treasures were in the popsicle boxes.

  Did a lot of ridiculous things for this.

  I also want to make a box to sell popsicles, and there will be endless popsicles.

  Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

  It was only later that I found out that it was filled with cotton, and after being filled with cotton, the popsicles would not melt no matter how hot the weather was.

"Hahaha, your baby is getting better and better now, if you don't hurt you, I'm afraid you will grow wings and fly far away. In the end, it's better to live in the city, and it's more beautiful to live in the city. Don't you think so?" ..."

  Lao Niwai laughed, took out a dime and handed it to the popsicle seller: "Come on, get me two popsicles."

  The old popsicle seller said: "If you know the shell, you can exchange it for a popsicle."

   "Hmph, which village are you from? Old and unscrupulous people will fool little ones."

  Old Tiny snorted.

  Then, with a slanted mouth and eyes, he muttered to Chen Ling: "This year, cicada shells are expensive, more than twenty per catty. If you exchange cicada shells for popsicles, how stupid you are to do such a thing."

   Chen Ling smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

   Knowing about the shell, at least save a sack to sell it, and if there is less, exchange it for some popsicles.

  He doesn't care.

   On the contrary, the little dolls ran home one after another after being dazed for a while, even with the popsicles in their hands not so sweet.

   Seeing this, Ruirui held a popsicle in his hand, looked around with doubts in his small eyes, wondering why all his friends ran away all of a sudden.
