My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 344 Pen pals come to the door

   In the early spring, the wind was strong, and the wheat fields were not soggy after the snow melted, and they dried out on a few sunny days with wind.

   This little boy who often comes to the wheat field to fly kites is the clearest.

  Chen Ling rode a motorcycle, with a group of puppies barking and running happily, crossed the slope, drove into the wheat field below the **** with headlights on, and continued to patrol the prey.

   The puppies became very excited after catching a rabbit alone.

   Often, when the bright headlights on Chen Ling's motorcycle shone on the rabbits, a bunch of them rushed over quickly.

   huddled around the motorcycle, and watched the lights all the way alertly, looking for the trail of the hare.

  Unfortunately, he still won't be able to take it back. He caught the rabbit and ate it on the spot. He had to train more.

   Taking advantage of the little tail of the first month, Chen Ling drove a tractor with a car of dogs during the day, and rode a motorcycle at night, taking the puppies to hunt everywhere.

  Not only around Chenwangzhuang, but also to other places. Sometimes I bring my wife and children, and sometimes I am alone. I have a tractor and a motorcycle. It is no problem to run far away. It is very convenient.

   During the day, I drove my tractor to Yaba Lake, to the forest farm on the side of Kadotai, and to Tubaoling near Huangni Town, Han Chuang’s home.

   After discovering the prey, the puppies jumped off the tractor and chased wildly. When they caught the prey and brought it back, Chen Ling gave them another reward, opened the baffle of the tractor's body, and let them jump up again and continue to search.

   After Heiwa's two or three teachings, they already know how to take something back.

   No longer catch and eat, which is a great improvement.

   And the whole time is not called.

  I haven’t taught them to go hunting in Nassau, so it’s best not to call them.

  …

  The first month is spent eating, drinking and having fun.

  After entering the second month of the lunar calendar, Chen Ling originally wanted to go to the market and buy some livestock.

   As a result, one thing followed another.

   First, Chen Sangui finished the traditional Chinese medicine cabinet and painted it, so it can be used directly.

   On the first day of February, Chen Ling took Wang Zhenzhen back to school on a motorcycle.

   The next day, Wang Susu and Wang Susu opened a medicine shop in the village.

  The herbs that are always kept at home have been dried a lot in the autumn of last year. The two put the herbs into small drawers by category.

   This small village medicine shop is also open.

  Chen Ling didn't ask any relatives and friends to come this time. It was calm and peaceful, and Wang Susu started her dream life like this.

Although she is not as well-known as Chen Ling, but because Zhong Xiaoyun and Qin Qiumei kept introducing, their friends, elders and relatives in the county town did not come less than the year before and last year. The people in the mountains have a high degree of acceptance of Chinese herbal medicine, and the price is also cheap. , go back to eat a few times, and find that the effect is good.

   Especially Zhong Xiaoyun, who brought two middle-aged female teachers from her school last year. In addition to treating some gynecological diseases, she also asked for some remedies for her husband to quit smoking.

   As a result, the 30-year-old smoking gun was cured.

   The lungs are also much more comfortable.

  So, after entering the second month of this year, people came one after another before the pharmacy opened for a few days.

   Although there were not many people, the two people who came to get the medicine two days ago were brought by Zhong Xiaoyun, but this has already given Wang Susu a lot of encouragement.

   Just like going to work every day, after dinner, he carried the baby from the farm to the village, sat behind the "desk" that Chen Ling had fixed for her, wrote prescriptions, and flipped through miscellaneous medical books.

  Sometimes there is no patient all day, and she is not bored. She reads a book with Chen Ling, brings her baby, and hangs some herbs in the yard by the way.

  Chen Ling accompanied her, tinkering with the ornamental fish at home and changing places in the farm, and sometimes read related books, what kind of fish is a good ornamental fish, and the value is relatively high, and he also thought about how to cultivate it.

   This is his serious business.

   is really the same as playing, but also learning to play.

   In addition to picking up Wang Zhenzhen every day, when he is free to relax, he takes the puppies to run around the fields, chasing chickens and chasing rabbits.

   Or write a few letters to pen pals at home.

   During the festivals, the daily greetings are never interrupted. When I bought the New Year's goods a few years ago, I even went to the post office to send souvenir packages.

  The young couple each has their own favorite things, and they both enjoy it.

  The weather is getting warmer day by day.

   The pheasant seedlings and wild duck seedlings in the autumn of last year also gradually grew up on the farm.

   This was captured by Wang Zhenzhen and the little boy in the village.

   First found a nest when weeding at school, and later found several nests in the reeds and grasses near the farm.

   No one in the village wants them, and Qiuli can't support these things.

   Drop it on the farm and let the chickens and ducks take it.

   When feeding in the morning, Chen Ling and the two found that after a winter of these little things, they started to change their hair.

   The feathers on the pheasant became more and more colorful, and the tail and cockscomb gradually took shape.

  The wild ducks are black, green and sauce-colored, and they look much prettier than the native ducks in the village.

   Such a change means that it is not far from laying eggs.

   The wild eggs and wild duck eggs raised by ourselves are not too fishy. Fried eggs with chopped green onion and scrambled duck eggs with garlic sprouts are fragrant.

   It's just that these guys eat too much, and they like to quack and quack when they are not full. This is the case with chickens and ducks, and so are geese.

  It's been a long time, and I can't stop crying when I'm full.

   Chen Ling was upset when he heard them cry, so he opened the chicken coop and duck pen, and let Heiwa blast them out.

  On the mountain, the fruit forests run around wherever they like.

  Open the door, the chickens do not need to be driven, and go straight to the mountain.

Ducks, whether they are domestic ducks or wild ducks, all gather together and shake their heads in unison. Heiwa quacks to the left when he drives them to the left, and goes to the right when he drives them to the right. , as stupid.

   It wasn't until he ran to the front of the canal that he flapped his wings and jumped into the water, quacking and swimming.

   A few geese with their outstretched necks still paced calmly, walking around in the woods.

  Chen Ling and Wang Susu didn't pay much attention to them, just took the baby to watch for a while, let the two dogs stare at them, and went about their own business.

  …

  In the morning, the sun is just right.

   A family of three enthusiastically brushed the little white cow in the yard in the village. Rui Rui, a stinky boy, likes to do this kind of work the most.

   Until Han Chuang brought Jiang Xiaoqing over.

  Jiang Xiaoqing is pregnant this year, and came to Wang Susu to ask for her experience in raising a fetus.

  Wang Susu gave birth to a baby without any trouble, and recovered well after childbirth, especially without any stretch marks, and her skin was even better than before pregnancy.

   Who would not envy a young girl who is a mother-to-be.

   The two of them came two or three times in the first month, and they came every three or five times in February.

   After Chen Ling had a motorcycle, he often took his dog to Huangni Town to find Han Chuang to play.

  Sometimes he also brought Wang Susu and his children there.

   Mainly this year, Jiang Xiaoqing has been concentrating on raising the baby and is idle at home.

   The two families have frequent exchanges.

   But after Wang Susu's pharmacy opened, the two of them often ran here.

Every time    comes, Jiang Xiaoqing and Wang Susu are at home.

  Chen Ling took Han Chuang, and the two led a gang of dogs running around all over the mountains.

After running    a few times, Han Chuanglian said that it was more fun and exciting than the game.

Chen Ling was very happy to see the two of them coming over today. He called Han Chuang and went out: "I won't go to the mountains today. The bamboo outside my farm has grown bamboo shoots. I will dig some bamboo shoots today, and I will use them to fry them at noon. The meat is drunk."

  Han Chuang was still stunned when he heard this, scratching his head and said, "There are so many bamboo shoots on the mountains. Are there enough bamboo shoots in the small forest outside the farm?"

   "Enough, you'll know when you go and have a look. There are a lot of them."

Chen Ling happily led him out of the village. Although the small bamboo forest facing the gate of the farm was just planted in the winter of the previous year and only grew for a year, it was nourished by excellent water all day long, and it was verdant. In season, the growth of bamboo shoots is quite gratifying.

After   Han Chuang followed, he did not expect that there would be so many bamboo shoots growing so well.

   also asked what happened to Chen Ling. Their family also planted bamboo the year before, but it was obviously not as good here, let alone bamboo shoots.

   "Hey, you don't know, this is still the after-flood effect."

  Chen Ling said half-truths: "After the flood, the soil is very fertile, and the soil is very strong. Last year's wheat and corn harvests almost doubled compared to previous years, which is scary."

  The fact that the harvest has soared is true, not a lie.

   So the orchards of Chen Ling's family grew better after the flood, and flowers, plants and trees can grow on them, which is not surprising to everyone.

  In ten years, the soil strength was restored, and the impact of a flood was enough to eliminate it.

   "Ah, yes, I remembered that last year we also increased the income there. It seems that my brother also mentioned that the flood is not all bad."

   The two were talking when suddenly a barking sound came from a distance, and a group of puppies jumped out of the withered grass near the river ditch and ran over here.

   At this point, he followed Xiao Jin to play with the foxes.

When I was a child, I scrambled for food with the little fox all day long. When I grew up, they became very close, but they didn't play much. Although they were small, they were very strong. They often turned the little fox over a few times, attracting the mother fox to chase bite them.

   They knew that they were wrong, and they didn't resist, and soon they forgot to tease the fox again.

When Chen Ling saw these little things coming, he drove them to the farm and let them go back to the house. rub, make it ticklish.

But they have grown up and know how to be obedient. Although they are reluctant to leave people, when Chen Ling and Han Chuang dug up bamboo shoots and took some cured fish and bacon to go to the village, they only watched Chen Ling on the edge of the fruit forest. The two left and did not follow.

  It is enough to have Heiwa Xiaojin guarding the farmhouse, plus these little things have gradually grown up, and their fierceness is exposed, and they are all good at home and nursing homes.

  Whether people or beasts want to invade the farm, they will swarm up under the leadership of Heiwa and Xiaojin and the two dogs, no matter how powerful they are, they can block the outside.

   In most cases, Chen Ling and his wife do not go far, that is, in the village and on the mountain, there is nothing to worry about.

  At noon, Chen Ling and Han Chuang went to the kitchen and made a few simple dishes.

   Married, Han Chuang, this silly big man, has also learned to cook, and the taste is not bad.

   "Haha, Chuangzi's knife skills still have to be practiced, he's far worse than Brother Ling."

   "I like the salted duck eggs made by Brother Ling and sister-in-law..."

   At the dinner table, Jiang Xiaoqing didn't eat anything else, he just stared at the salted duck eggs to eat.

  The boiled salted duck eggs are cut in half, the egg whites are like jade, and the orange-red egg yolks are marinated to the point that the oil is already flowing out…

   Eat a mouthful of salted duck eggs, pick up a chopstick of fresh bamboo shoots, and serve with steamed buns with white flour. After a bite, the refreshing and strong fragrance explodes on the taste buds, and the mouth is full of the taste of spring, not to mention how beautiful.

  Drinking tea after dinner, Jiang Xiaoqing hugged Rui Rui without letting go, took him to watch ants, chased pigeons, and then went to harm Chen Lingyang's ornamental fish.

   Originally said to go to the farm to rest for a while, but there are few people who came to get medicine and see a doctor today.

  I didn't expect that I just had this idea, and said I was going to go to the farm.

  Some villagers led a black car and parked in front of the courtyard of Chen Ling's house.

   In the suspicious eyes of Chen Ling and the others, a man wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap came down from the car.

   "That is the wealth of our village, you have something to tell him..." The villager smiled at Chen Ling and said to the man.

The man took off his sunglasses and hat, stretched out his hand and walked towards Chen Ling from a distance, with a big smile on his face: "This is the first time we met, I'm Zhou Weijun, it's a pleasure to meet Brother Chen, I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so Young, I thought I was about the same age when I read the letters..."

   Zhou Weijun? good guy.

  Chen Ling suddenly realized, and held the opponent's hand tightly: "It's a pleasure to meet, Brother Zhou's style is better than words, I've been looking forward to Brother Zhou coming to play."

  My dear, I really didn’t expect that just after the New Year, a pen pal came to the door.
