My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 103 Digging out the eggs

   In just over half a minute, Chen Ling rushed to the reservoir dam.

From a distance, I saw two little babies crying by the water, and another baby also ran to the village to call for people, but after calling for a long time, only an old lady and a woman who was doing farm work were called. Panicked, he stomped his feet on the dam in a hurry, but he didn't dare to go into the water.

   "Get up, stay away from the water."

  Chen Ling ignored them, shouted at the two dolls and rushed into the water, before even taking off their clothes.

   At this time, it was just noon. Under the sunlight, the water on the surface of the reservoir was already warm, but the water was extremely cold.

As soon as Chen Ling entered the water, he couldn't help but shivered. Fortunately, his physique is relatively inhuman now, and he quickly suppressed the discomfort, otherwise there would be no time to buffer, especially in the midsummer, when the surface of the water is scalding and the water is cold and cold. , It is easy to cause cramps to be in danger if you are careless.

   showed his head and took a deep breath, Chen Ling plunged into the water with a shovel, and looked around with wide eyes.

  Many people think that they cannot open their eyes underwater, but this is not the case. Anyone who really knows water knows that even without goggles, you can see things clearly underwater, but in later life the water quality will not be good, there will be pollution everywhere, and the rivers in many places will turn from clear to turbid. People will really go into the water without any protection.

In this era, there is no need to think about it so much. The reservoir is connected to the Jinshui River and the Nansha River. There is continuous injection of living water, and the water quality is quite clear. Chen Ling's eyesight is better than ordinary people. Underwater baby.

  Chen Ling kicked his legs when he saw this, grabbed Komori's ankle, and pulled it into the cave.

Just when Chen Ling went into the water to save people, many people were called over to the dam. The men knew that the situation was critical, and they jumped into the water without taking off their clothes. There was a clatter, but Chen Ling swam up with the doll in his arms.

   When they got ashore, the wives fiddled with Komori with his feet down for a while, emptying the water in his lungs and intestines, and it didn't take long for Komori to cough violently.

   "Good wealth! Really good!"

   After Komori woke up, everyone turned their attention to Chen Ling.

Seeing that the famous lazy **** in the village was soaked all over, like a chicken in a mess, holding on to the big willow tree and gasping for breath, the villagers felt an unprecedented sense of recognition in their hearts, and they all gave thumbs up and praised. .

   "Where's Yuqiang and his wife? Why haven't they come yet? And Brother Guoping, who hasn't seen anyone..."

  Chen Ling waved his hands to the villagers, took a deep breath and asked.

"Yuqiang's daughter-in-law's mother-in-law is gone. The couple got up early and went to mourning. Brother Guoping is his turn to go to other villages to see a doctor these days. This baby, Xiaosen, is either eating at Yingqiang's house today, or eating with Sister-in-law Xiufen. "

   Someone replied.

Sister-in-law Xiufen is Chen Guoping's daughter-in-law and Xiaosen's grandmother. This old lady is a capable person in the village, but she doesn't go out very much. All I know is that this old lady will use a lot of remedies to treat her diseases, such as her hoarseness that has not been cured for a year, sores on the top of her head and pus on the soles of her feet, some kind of snake wrapping her waist, flower willow disease, and other strange and intractable diseases.

   is even more powerful than Chen Guoping in this respect.

   It is not uncommon for people to come to Chenwangzhuang all the way to look for them, but this old lady never charged money, only a few pounds and a few taels of incense sticks according to her condition.

   sounds rather mysterious, but the real person is actually very kind and kind, and has a good heart. Chen Ling has seen it twice, and his impression is quite good.

At this time, Komori also slowly recovered, but he did something wrong and was surrounded by such a large group of people, and he immediately seemed to be frightened. She said nothing, but she didn't answer any questions. The villagers thought the baby lost her soul in the water.

   After a while, Chen Yingqiang did not change his clothes and ran from the village to the dam with his white face covered.

   "Komori, Komori..."

Seeing so many people surrounding this man, he thought that something had happened to his nephew, and he fell a big somersault in a hurry. He didn't care about the pain, he got up and squeezed into the crowd with a series of mouthfuls. called.

   "Uncle."

   Seeing his family, Komori burst into tears.

   "Your baby is still crying, no one in the family told you not to play in the reservoir, don't play in the reservoir, you are just not obedient, you are not obedient..."

  Chen Yingqiang saw that his nephew was fine, so he dragged him over and pressed his **** to beat him.

Beating and beating, I started to cry, and I hugged my nephew and kept saying, "It's okay, it's okay, your baby is really scary, your parents are not at home, you are going to have an accident, How can we live?"

In the countryside, there are many disputes between brothers, but the two brothers Chen Yingqiang and Chen Yuqiang are different. Before the two brothers got married, they had never had any troubles, and there was no such thing as a pickle. They usually treat each other's children as if they were their own children.

   When I heard that Komori had an accident, I really wanted to grow wings and fly over.

  The onlookers saw this scene, and they also turned around and began to tell their dolls, water and fire are ruthless, this is not a joke.

   Not long after, Mrs. Xiufen also came. She was almost carried onto the dam by Chen Yingqiang's wife and neighbors.

It's true that she was taking care of the baby at home, but Xiao Mori was a madman who fooled her into saying that she was going to the uncle's mill and came back after lunch. Since it was not far from the eldest son's mill, she didn't care much. I know this baby sneaked to the reservoir.

   When someone came to the door to tell her that her grandson was drowning, the old lady's eyes went black and she almost collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up.

   It was the eldest daughter-in-law and the neighbor who helped her over.

After she went to the dam and saw that her grandson was all right, the old lady was relieved and at the same time stood up slowly, her worries and fears suddenly turned into anger, she gritted her teeth, and said with tears in her old eyes, "Boss, give me this. I gave him a good slap on the hanging tree, and I said it many times before I can remember it, I think it's just a lack of a slap."

   Chen Yingqiang saw that the old lady was so angry that her mouth was trembling, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, mother, if there is anything else, wait for Xiaosen to recover, just rescued, don't frighten the baby again."

   "Yeah, don't be angry, old sister-in-law, take the baby back and change into clean clothes."

   "That is, go back and cook a bowl of **** soup for the baby to drink. The old sister-in-law will worship God again, shout for the soul, and let the baby sleep well. At such a young age, don't leave any root causes."

  “…”

  The villagers also followed suit, and the old lady couldn't hold back her anger.

   As for Chen Ling, who went home to change clothes when Chen Yingqiang came, no one else paid attention to when he left.

As a result, what Chen Ling did not expect was that in the afternoon, Chen Yingqiang and his wife brought five bags of flour to the house. After they put them at the door, they turned their heads and wanted to carry them. If it wasn't for the two dogs barking outside the door, Chen Ling wouldn't know. Woolen cloth.

   Seeing the attitude of the couple, how could Chen Ling accept it, and his saving lives is not a reward for others, let alone the little dolls who come to play at home all day long, even if they don't know them, they might not care if they see them.

But Chen Yingqiang's attitude is firm, and there are good reasons: "Uncle Fugui, your family did not grow grain this year, and you have to buy flour from the flour mill after you eat it. It's inconvenient, so you can just accept it. I think these bags are too few. "

His daughter-in-law Li Caiyun also persuaded him by the side, and then brought two fluffy ducks and handed them over: "This is the little ducklings I bought from your house, and now they are very fat, you and my aunt also try it. Bar."

A few days ago, it was said that Chen Ling had learned a lesson and started to get better. They lived far away and didn't know if it was true or not, but this time they saved their nephew, it didn't mean that it was really unreasonable. If the Qiang couple were not there, they had to come to the door, not to mention whether the villagers would gossip behind their backs, just say that Komori has become sensible after two years, and he must have a lump in his heart after knowing it.

   Seeing that Chen Ling really didn't want to take it, he called out Wang Susu, and after a lot of pulling, he put everything down.

   "Look at this mess, why do you go to Yingqiang's place to grind noodles in the future?"

  Chen Ling shook his head and kept sighing. He also thought about grinding some miscellaneous noodles and buckwheat noodles for a while at home to make glutinous rice noodles to eat. This can't be done. Otherwise, if he goes to Chen Yingqiang's place and they don't charge money, how can he be embarrassed.

   "What's the matter, or I'll grind the noodles next time."

Wang Susu didn't know what her husband was thinking, so she smiled and said, "I'm from a mother-in-law's family, and sometimes it's easier to talk than you respectable men. If you really feel that it's too embarrassing, just pull the stone mill on the threshing floor. When we come back, let’s grind the dough by ourselves, the grinding wheel is so heavy that the villagers find it difficult to use, it was hit by the wind and rain, and no one can use it for many years.”

Chen Ling was stunned when he heard the words, and then his eyes lit up. He thought that his daughter-in-law was very sensitive. I'm embarrassed to find someone else. Then let's make a stone mill and grind it at home. In addition to grinding noodles, we can make tofu or something. It is also convenient.

So Chen Ling went to ask Wang Laishun in the afternoon, and after confirming that no one in the stone mill village over the threshing field wanted it, he pulled it to his own backyard. It takes four or five people to lift it up. No wonder no one has used it for so many years. You can grind a few bags of flour at Chen Yingqiang's place for two or three cents. Those who don't have livestock at home have to borrow other people's livestock. It's not worth the trouble if you don't say you're in trouble if you owe a favor.

Speaking of stone grinding, when Chen Ling was a child, he couldn't tell what was stone grinding and what was stone grinding. His father told him that the one with two stone plates was grinding, and the one with a stone plate with a stone drum was grinding, grinding. It is used to grind flour. The grinding is used to dehull wheat, sorghum, millet, etc. It can also be ground into rice dregs or corn shreds.

  Although there are many things that my father said were inappropriate, but his little head understood it all at once. Since then, he can distinguish which is the stone mill and which is the stone mill, and the memory is still very deep to this day.

After pulling the stone mill to the backyard for cleaning, Chen Ling found a saw to go to the house to repair the toon tree outside the yard, otherwise the roof and eaves of the front yard would be damaged. A few tiles have fallen off now, but just after the saw was found, Chen Yuqiang and his wife brought Xiaosen to the door. When the couple saw Chen Ling, they knelt on the ground and banged their heads.

   This guy startled Chen Ling a lot, and quickly went up to help the two up, but the two couldn't afford to kneel, and pulled Xiao Sen to kneel and kowtow together with red eyes.

The couple are stupid. Chen Ling saved their son, and they don't know how to thank them. After kowtowing, they gave eggs and pork. The gift is quite enough. Wang Susu went to pick mulberries in the afternoon. Ye Lei was not at home either. He was arguing, and the two of them got up from the ground when he spoke dryly, but he refused to take anything away.

   "If it weren't for the difference in seniority, I would have to let the baby recognize Uncle Fugui as his godfather, and let him grow up to be filial to you like filial piety to us."

  Chen Yuqiang wiped away tears. When he went out, his only seedling was almost gone, and he still had lingering fears to this day. His daughter-in-law, Wen Li, never stopped crying, and her eyes were swollen into walnuts.

Although Chen Ling didn't have children yet, but seeing the couple like this made him feel very uncomfortable, so he said to Xiao Sen: "In the future, be obedient at home, and don't go to the water to play. Look at Liu Ni'er, he said no. He goes to the reservoir, he never goes, and you learn from him."

  Xiao Sen said in a dazed way: "If Liu Ni'er doesn't go, that's because he was scared by Uncle Li Xian."

  Chen Yuqiang got angry when he heard this: "Why? It's a little easier to beat you today, isn't it?"

   Komori was so frightened that he shivered all over, grinning and crying.

   "I really don't blame me, it's the pigs and they are too stupid. When I say three, I mean there are three birds' eggs, not to let go..."

   This baby cried so much that it was heartbreaking, and it was a grievance.

  Chen Yuqiang was afraid of annoying Chen Ling, so he hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to take Xiaosen home and explained to Chen Ling what was going on.

Chen Ling was speechless after listening to it. It turned out that Komori had taken aim at the old nest of Tuyanzi under the dam of the reservoir a few days ago. Tuyanzi is also called Yashayan. Their feathers are whiter than that of barn swallows. In addition, these guys don't build nests in houses or under the eaves, but dig caves one by one on the steep soil cliffs near the water source.

For example, there are many caves of earth swallows on the steep **** below the dam of the reservoir here. Now they have started to lay their second eggs this year. The little monkeys are trying to find their ideas. Afraid of falling into the water, a doll pulled the hand of a doll and slowly went down the steep **** to dig it out. As a result, Komori was so excited when he touched the bird's egg, he directly reported the number and said, "Three, three...", the doll above was still He thought he was going to let go, but as soon as he let go, Komori fell into the water.

This baby Komori is only five years old, and has not yet learned to swim. It just happened that the surface of the river was scalding and the water was freezing cold. In addition, he was frightened and couldn't move when he got into the water. The more he cried, the easier it was to choke. Water, how does this baby know about this? It was choking on the water and unable to move, so it slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

   Fortunately, Chen Ling rescued him in time, otherwise he would have almost died this time.

   Chen Yuqiang finished talking to Chen Ling with a face full of fear, then sat and talked for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark, he didn't stay any longer, so he got up and left.

   "Go back, Uncle Fugui, don't send it out, I'm very close, go out of your house on the front foot, and go back to my house on the back foot."

  Chen Yuqiang is gone, but the things that the two brothers gave him are unwilling to take away. Now that this kind of thing has just happened in the family, insisting on refusing will only make people feel at ease.

   Looking at the room full of flour, pork, and eggs, Chen Ling felt helpless. Seeing how troublesome this is, this guy has enough food for half a year.
