My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 489 Bead Curtain

  …

   "My boy, this dog is supposed to take care of children in this way, and also play games with people?"

   In the morning, Sun Yanhong and Chen Ling were reconciling accounts under the eaves. Zhao Gang led his four military dogs over, and saw two big dogs fighting with Ruirui in the yard at a glance.

   Suddenly stunned.

  I saw Ruirui holding a small ball and throwing it hard.

  Hei Wa and Xiao Jin, two big dogs, ran over in a hurry, pushing you with their noses, and I pushed them.

   Played back and forth.

   Even if Ruirui throws two small **** there.

  They are connected securely.

   Let the two **** fly back and forth in the air, higher and higher.

  Sun Yanhong glanced at it and said with a smile, "This dog can perform acrobatics."

  By the lotus pond, Zhou Weijun and the assistant director had been watching for quite a while, and they echoed the words: "Fugui, take this dog out to perform acrobatics, it will definitely sell more tickets than a human performance."

  Chen Ling ignored them, and just said: "If you are not in a hurry to leave today, you can help me catch some fish. The ornamental fish in my pond should be sold again."

   "Okay, let us work as coolies for you again."

  Zhou Weijun was reluctant, but his body was very honest. He got up and helped Chen Ling get the net while talking.

  He, a big foodie, knows it.

  Chen Ling prepares delicious food whenever he encounters work, and cooks himself every time.

  So I am more active than anyone else.

   Zhao Gang and the assistant director thought it was because he knew Chen Ling too well.

  After listening to him muttering in a low voice, he immediately regained his energy and couldn't help drooling a little.

  Chen Ling and Sun Yanhong haven't finished reconciling accounts yet.

  They followed Wang Qingwen out to clean up.

   Once the little sheep arrives, load them into the car directly.

   When Chen Ling went out, they were almost finished.

   "Come on, I'm not needed here."

  So he turned around and went to fish for mullet and salmon. This was what Sun Yanhong wanted, and she said that there are many people who want to eat it recently, and the price is expected to rise further.

   "Oh, Fugui, why don't you notice that these two fishes are getting less? I pulled a lot of them last time."

   Sun Yanhong was a little surprised when she saw that the fish in the ditch were still in groups.

   "You read that right, I caught some fish from the mountains again, and some of the fry have grown up..."

  Chen Ling glanced at it, and said half-truthfully, "As for the mullet, I also raise them in other places, but there are not many of them. I can sell them again this year at most."

   "Hey, I was afraid that you would secretly sell it to others. Didn't Lao Tian start looking for you again recently?"

Sun Yanhong raised her eyebrows: "But we are not afraid of him, I am willing to give you the money, but he is not willing to share...By the way, speaking of this, your brother from Huangni Town can put the canned fish in my shop if you mess it up." ah.

   I heard that it is selling well. "

   In order to tie Chen Ling tighter, this woman tried her best.

  Chen Ling's expression didn't change after hearing this: "It's selling well, but I never get involved in such matters. You can talk to him yourself."

  Seeing his sluggish appearance, Sun Yanhong had no choice.

   "All right, all right, just be your shopkeeper and just wait for the money."

   Then he took away the fish he caught, paid him money according to the catty, and left without eating lunch.

   After all, the farm is still very lively today, and people keep coming.

   Not long after Zhao Yubao's two families came, Qin Qiumei also came. They were both related to Chen Ling and Wang Jusheng's family.

  After this incident happened, come and sit down.

  This is different from other villagers.

  Other villagers came to ask, which seemed troublesome.

  If they don't come to ask, they are a little indifferent.

   It happened that Chen Ling's family was selling fish today, and Sun Yanhong came to give money again, so they cooked a good meal at noon and ate and drank a lot.

   After eating and drinking, Zhou Weijun left and took a photo of Heiwa Xiaojin.

   They left, Zhao Gang and Shanmao let the dog outside.

  Chen Ling and Wang Susu took out two bamboo mats and asked Zhao Yubao and Mr. Zhong to take them back.

  This time, the two old men took a lot of trouble.

  I spent most of the morning on the phone.

   Country folk don't say thank you very much.

   Chen Ling and his wife had a discussion, and it happened that the bamboo mat had been woven, so it was a heartfelt gesture.

   The two old ladies refused.

  Chen Ling said: "These two mats are made of water bamboo. They dissipate heat quickly, and they are cool when covered."

  Water bamboo is cold in nature and dissipates heat quickly. It is the top grade for weaving mats.

  The **** where Zhao Yubao and the others lived was cool at night.

  But when it first fell into the night, it was still very hot because the house was exposed to the sun all day.

   This mat is just right.

  Zhao Yubao and the two were not polite anymore, and accepted it with a smile.

   Except for the two of them.

  Wang Susu also gave Qin Qiumei a reed mat.

   "Sister Qiumei, this one is for you. My mother and I have nothing to do, so we made several mats.

  You are cold, it is not good to spread bamboo mats, but reed mats are just right. "

   "Oh, Susu, you are not feeling well right now, why are you still worrying about me?"

  Qin Qiumei was taken aback for a moment, and then was very moved.

  She was troubled by her younger sister Qin Dongmei, and her mother now has a problem with her.

   often give her face.

  My mother's family can't go back.

  Although the in-law’s family is good, the husband does not return all year round.

  Besides Zhong Xiaoyun, only Wang Susu treated her sincerely.

  So since Zhao Yubao and his wife lived in the village, she came to Wang Susu every now and then by visiting her godfather and godmother.

  She also knew that Wang Susu sometimes weaves mats and bamboo curtains, but she didn't expect to have her share.

   "A Ling won't let me do other things, so I can only read books and do some chores like this."

  Wang Susu smiled helplessly.

  She is restless.

  I don’t see any work in my eyes, so I want to help when there is work.

  When she wasn't pregnant, even if Chen Ling told her, she answered with her mouth, but her hands wouldn't stop.

   Now I feel uncomfortable, and I can't do many things.

  But if I don’t do anything, I feel annoyed, my mood is wrong, and I always want to lose my temper.

   This is a true reaction during pregnancy.

   But she didn't think that everyone would let her go when she was pregnant, and she didn't want to lose her temper with Chen Ling and her son if she didn't want to be in a bad mood.

  So it’s better to find something to do.

   "Oh, you, you are really blessed to be rich."

  Qin Qiumei took her hand and sat down, and suddenly saw the wooden basin under the eaves outside the living room, filled with small beads the size of peanuts.

   There are black, there are also gray black, round, smooth to the touch, and quite hard.

   I don't know what it is.

   "Huh? What is this? It's another gadget played by the rich?"

   "No, my mother and my sister-in-law made it, and they are going to wear the curtain."

   "Wear a curtain? Isn't this bamboo curtain very good?"

   "Oh, no, Ruirui runs in and out all day long. This bamboo curtain is rowing, so I picked some grass beads from the outside and put them into a grass bead curtain, which can keep out flies and mosquitoes, and it is also convenient for Ruirui to go in and out."

   "It's not bad, it's called grass beads, what grows on grass? I'll get some when I go back."

   "There are quite a lot of grass outside, haven't you seen it?"

"No ah."

  Wang Susu had no choice but to tell her what kind of grass it was.

   Later, the old lady of Zhao Yubao's family was also attracted, and she liked the grass beads very much.

   This grass bead is actually a kind of weed.

  After maturity, it is full of hard beads.

  The key is that these small beads naturally have small holes in the middle.

  It is a good material for making rosary beads and wearing bead curtains.

   You don't have to work hard to punch holes at all.

   And this thing also has its own luster, slippery, as if painted, and the texture is very hard.

   It can be said that it is not only very simple to wear bead curtains, but also durable.

  Plus this thing has a little fragrance, and when used in summer, it can not only keep cool, but also repel insects.

   "Hey, this is good stuff."

  Zhao Yubao picked up a few grass beads and kept playing with them.

  Rui Rui saw that he was playing with it, so he ran over on short legs, and said with a serious face: "Don't play, pee."

  Seeing him coming, Zhao Yubao hastily bent down and squatted in front of him with a smile: "Oh, dear Ruirui, what's the matter? Do you want to play?"

   "He meant to play with the one who wets the bed. Susu and I were afraid that he would eat it and scare him."

  Chen Ling explained helplessly in a low voice.

   There are so many small things and things, and I have to take care of everything.

   "Hahaha, that's right, then let's stop playing."

  The two old men understood, and put down the grass beads in their hands.

   "Dad, pee."

   "Okay, okay, I don't play either."

Chen Ling had nothing to do with him, and said to the two old men, "The curtains made of grass beads have been hung in the upstairs room. The curtains are small, so they can be put on during dinner time. Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhong, go and have a look." The finished product, I even wore a bracelet."

   "It's all hung up, then we have to go and have a look, I haven't seen this thing before."

   "Actually, there are some in the village, but there are more curtains made of bamboo strips. Those that don't move around at ordinary times, and not a single fly can fly in."

  Chen Ling said and led them upstairs.

  The elegant bamboo building hangs fresh and breathable bead curtains.

  Because this string of beads has different colors, some are gray-black, some are pure black, the whole bead curtain seems to have a pattern on it.

  When entering and leaving the room, the bead curtains will rattle with a slight flick.

  It sounds very pleasant.

  The two old men said that this is the same as the wind chime, interesting and practical.

   This is true.

   This thing is quite fun.

  When it was just hung up at noon yesterday, Ruirui didn't even take a nap. Like a puppy, he shuttled back and forth on both sides of the bead curtain, running back and forth, making the bead curtain rattling constantly.

  If it weren’t for the tangled beads of this thing, it’s easy to pinch your hair, the brat would probably be able to play until dark.

   "Hey, this bracelet is also good, look at this moist luster, it looks like polished jade, how did you get rich?"

  When Chen Ling took out the bracelet made of grass beads, the two old men liked it even more, and asked him how he made it, as if it had been processed by some special method.

   It was done by Chen Ling's bead curtain and bracelet.

  They also want to pick some and make some gadgets with their own hands.

   "This is soaked in medicinal water. It is very simple. It is mainly made of neem seeds. You can soak it in water yourself."

  Chen Ling smiled slightly, but didn't say anything in his heart.

  Actually, this bracelet was not intended for people to wear at first.

  He wanted to soak it with the toxicity of neem seeds, give it to dogs and cattle, and use it to repel insects in vitro.

   But seeing the two old men so happy, this bracelet is indeed pretty.

   I didn’t say anything.

   "Oh, this is good, this is good, I'll get a neck wear first when I go back..."

  Zhao Yubao said happily.

  Old man Zhong pondered for a while, and said: "I think this thing can be sold for money, you think it is rich?"

  Chen Ling laughed when he heard the words: "This is just a straw bead, how can you sell it for money, how can you rely on money for everything?

  Old Uncle Zhong, don’t let Uncle Zhao take you, you want to exchange money for everything you look for when you look for Cicada, right? "

  After hearing his words, Zhao Yubao quit.

   "Hey, don't tell me, your aunt and I have been together for half a month, and all the cicada shells I found were sold for almost 400 yuan.

  When there is a big fair in the countryside, your aunt and I will go buy sheep.

  If you have lambs, buy a few more.

  When Cunye comes back from Fenglei Town, we can herd sheep together. "

  Old man Zhong followed suit. He never said that he wanted to sell cicada shells to save money to buy sheep. He was obviously led astray by Zhao Yubao these days, and there was actually a little expectation on his face.

  Chen Ling looked at the good guy.

   One by one, it will become fun for old people to herd sheep.
