MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-Chapter 352 Dig bamboo shoots, fight dogs

   Chapter 352 Digging bamboo shoots, fighting dogs

   After confirming that she was pregnant, Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan rushed over from Fenglei Town in just three days.

  Er old man is so happy.

  The son-in-law has few family members, so he still needs to work harder to have a baby.

   This family has to be lively and lively, and then the days will be prosperous enough, and the children and grandchildren will be prosperous.

  The old man and his mother-in-law came again to help with the baby, do some farm work, and deal with some miscellaneous things on the farm.

  Chen Ling felt a lot easier all of a sudden.

  I also have time to let my horses and dogs walk, and I also have time to run mountains.

   He was still thinking about taking the ornamental fish to the market in a few days to see what the price is.

  Spring rain is as expensive as oil.

   This year's spring rain made people wait and see, and it finally came down today.

  The spring rain is like ox hair, like fine needles, cool and cool, crystal clear.

  Dense drizzle of cow drizzle danced on the vast fields, a vast expanse of white.

   is like smoke, fog, and dust.

  The lingering, like endless silver threads, descended overwhelmingly.

   In the large and small puddles, from time to time there are thin ripples and circles of faint ripples.

   In the lingering spring rain, the farm's poultry and livestock cheered up.

   Big geese and ducks spread their wings one after another, quack and quack, and turned in circles to welcome the baptism of the spring rain.

   A group of turkeys also kept shaking their feathers, letting the rain fall on them.

  The sheep in the sheepfold and the mules and horses in the barn also couldn't wait to cry.

  Chen Ling and his wife saw this, and after milking the goat, they released all these guys and let them play happily in the fruit forest, whether they were running or jumping, or playing in the canals and ditches, regardless of them.

   Even the big dogs and puppies in the family and the harriers were released, so that they could welcome the baptism of this spring rain.

  The two of them hugged their son and talked intimately at the pavilion in the bamboo forest, waiting for Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan to come here for dinner.

   "Yeah~"

   At this moment, Rui Rui, who was on Chen Ling's leg, let out a happy cry, showing her white and tender teeth, and her two little hands were dancing with their teeth and claws, and laughed happily in the direction of the farm.

   But the little cat saw that all the things in the house ran out, and ran out tentatively.

  This little thing has never traveled so far.

  Sneaky, cautiously probing, making Ruirui very funny, reaching out like reaching over to catch a kitten.

   At this time, there was a barking bark, and it was the puppies who were spreading joy in the fruit forest to drive away chickens and ducks.

   The little cat heard the familiar sound, slid away quickly, and ran over.

   and the puppies go to "Woo Woo" to bite chickens and ducks.

Unexpectedly, the lead brother of the chickens and ducks was irritated. Several big geese leaped up from the canal, took the chickens and ducks, fluttered their wings, and chased and pecked at them, chasing these naughty little guys. Have to run away.

   Soon in the drizzle again, he chased after the birds who were picking up rocks and branches.

   "There are more birds in the woods this year than last year."

Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan walked over from the drizzle, and saw that the birds around the fruit forest were looking for food and building nests in the rain. They looked up the tree and walked into the forest, and a large group of birds fluttered from the trees and from the trees. Flying through the yellow and messy grass.

   A piece of black, at least hundreds of them.

   "It's quite a lot. It's just warmed up today. Look at this forest, there's a thick layer of bird droppings." Gao Xiulan said.

  The two came over, carried two baskets of sweet potato seedlings, and poured them into the stone trough of the barn to feed the animals.

  Sweet potato and peanuts are eaten by mules and horses.

   There are also sun-dried and broken, mixed with a little miscellaneous as feed.

Seeing Chen Ling and the two following, Wang Cunye smiled and said, "I know you have a horse, and several families in the village asked me and your mother to get sweet potato seedlings. Now there are so many things, it won't rain tomorrow. Go and drive the tractor and pull two cars back."

   "Okay, I'll start pressing sweet potatoes soon, there are indeed many things." Chen Ling nodded while holding the baby.

  In the past, the poor people in the mountains depended on sweet potatoes to survive. This thing is not very picky about the land, and its yield is high. It can grow two or three crops in a row. It was used as a staple food for a long time.

  The sweet potato well that every family has is the proof.

   This was the grain cellar in those days.

   Plant sweet potatoes, and start breeding sweet potato seedlings every year after the first month of the year.

  In the spring of March, start pressing sweet potato seedlings.

   In local dialect, it means pressing sweet potato.

   is actually "cutting sweet potato seedlings".

   At this time, the excess sweet potato seedlings from the seedlings are fed to livestock except chickens and ducks, which are worthless.

   "Well, there are a lot of rapeseed seedlings. The ground has grown so thick that the seedlings are plucked out in piles. No one wants them. The chickens and ducks can't be eaten." Wang Susu followed.

   You don’t have to ask for this from others, you just throw away what others have, and there are plenty of fields.

   But mostly sheep come to eat.

   Sheep are not picky eaters.

"Hey, don't keep talking about animals. We always have a lot of food for our family. What, Susu, what do you want to eat? It's raining today, so our family is thinking about making something delicious at home?" Gao Xiulan said with a smile.

   The old lady has been very happy every day for the past two days. It's good that her daughter has a second child so quickly.

   At this time, Wang Cunye said in a very unpleasant manner: "What do you eat as a vegetarian, do you have to worry about your old wife? The two of them can cook whatever they want, and they use you to talk too much?"

   Gao Xiulan was so angry that she couldn't help but want to do it, she glared at Wang Cunye and said, "If you can't speak, don't speak."

   Seeing that the old couple was about to fight, Wang Susu said quickly, "Father, mother, A Ling said to dig up bamboo shoots later, so I can use fresh bamboo shoots to stir-fry some vegetables in the afternoon, or I'll cook another fish."

  Wang Cunye naturally also loves his daughter. Knowing that her daughter likes to eat bamboo shoots, he applauds: "Okay, I'll go up the mountain with Ling Zi to dig for bamboo shoots later. We can't do it in the bamboo forest. We don't have any bamboo shoots this year."

  Chen Ling said: "I have eaten several times. Dad, your legs and feet are uncomfortable in rainy weather, I will go by myself."

Wang Cunye waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, my legs and feet can't be at home, I just stayed with you for two days. It's raining this morning, and it doesn't hurt at all, and the soles of my feet are still warm. Yes, it's cold at home."

   Gao Xiulan snorted when she heard the words, "Look, your father will pretend to be sick now."

  It's fine to come here, but not at home, so that the villagers in the son-in-law's village thought they were just thinking about coming to their daughter's side to enjoy the happiness.

   "Oh, what are you talking about, I don't pretend to be sick like this..."

  Wang Cunye yelled at the old woman impatiently, and then flexibly shook his sick legs at Chen Ling and the two of them.

   Strange to say, this leg is at home, when it is cloudy, rainy and snowy, it is really aching, and sometimes I can't sleep at night.

   But come here and get better immediately.

   Thinking about last year, I was here for more than half a year, and my legs didn't make a fuss, and I slept well and ate well.

   This made the old man murmur very much. When he came here today, he was thinking in his heart, does the son-in-law's family really have a precious town house?

   Otherwise, why would there be such a strange thing.

  The old lady is not sick or suffering, but it is not obvious, thinking that the old man is missing his two daughters and grandson, and always wants to come here.

   Hearing the two elders bickering, Chen Ling smiled slightly. He knew this all too well. This was actually a problem with his own water source and food.

   Originally, after staying for a few more months last year, Wang Cunye's leg will slowly get better.

  But the two of them are going home at the end of the year, so naturally it almost makes sense.

   But Chen Ling is not in a hurry.

  If you are in a hurry, you can quickly recover by drinking the spiritual liquid from the small tree in the cave every day.

   But that was too shocking.

  It is better to take it slowly.

   It takes two or three years to grow the legs well, and it will be better for people to adapt.

  …

   "Go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots."

  Wang Zhenzhen, who heard the news, jumped three feet high.

   Today is the first light rain in early spring. Many villagers happily dig wild vegetables outside the village. Wang Zhenzhen and the little wazis in the village also went.

   went crazy for a while and dug up a lot of wild vegetables, but he was still excited when he came back, and he still had to follow Chen Ling into the mountain.

   No, we have prepared a backpack and a small hoe.

  The sky was overcast and the rain had stopped.

  The three of them took hoes, woven bags, backpacks, rain boots, and went into the mountain with two dogs and an eagle.

   After walking less than half a mile on the mountain road, Wang Zhenzhen's right ear got cold. He took a look in front of him with his hand, and quickly said to the two of them, "Father, brother-in-law, it's raining again."

   "What is there to be afraid of, but a little rain, this spring is very little, and I'm afraid it won't fall." Wang Cunye replied with a smile.

   "I'm not afraid, I'm happy."

  Wang Zhenzhen smiled, took Heiwa Xiaojin over the two, and quickly ran up the hillside.

   A yellow-clawed eagle stands on the basket behind Chen Ling, one person and one eagle, looking around as he walks.

   The trip to dig bamboo shoots is from Xishan Mountain, and we are going to dig in a large bamboo forest in Yamanakako.

  A spring rain washed away the dust in the mountains and forests, the trees and bamboo forests were green and dripping, and under the fine rain, streams of mountain springs flowed in the ditch, and there were countless bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

  Big and small, tender and old, there are few people here, and it is a waste not to dig the bamboo shoots.

   Walking to the shore of Lake Yamanaka, the lake surface in early spring was very shallow, and the thin raindrops rippled in circles of small ripples on the lake surface.

  The green bamboos on the south bank are slender and straight, and the green leaves are covered with crystal water droplets.

   Really picturesque.

  Wang Zhenzhen and the two dogs ran happily, and they have become three mud monkeys.

   At this time, he found a big bamboo shoot, so he couldn't wait to run over. Wang Zhenzhen rolled up his sleeves and started digging, and the two dogs were also digging soil for a while.

   The three guys were very busy.

Wang Cunye glanced at it and smiled humbly: "Really, I forgot everything I taught you just last year, so you can play with it, right? When digging bamboo shoots in early spring, you need to choose the freshest and tenderest ones that have just emerged, and they are the best to eat. You're just thinking about being greedy."

  Wang Zhenzhen is the least afraid of the old man Wang Cunye, wiped the rain on his little face, and retorted stubbornly: "Who is patronizing to play, I know this old man is not delicious, I dug it back and planted bamboo."

  Chen Ling immediately disliked the words and said, "You don't need that for planting bamboo, so don't bother."

Saying that, Weng and husband-in-law each found a small bamboo shoot. The soil dug at the position of the bamboo shoot was dug out, and the bamboo shoot was exposed little by little. A bamboo shoot was pulled out.

  Wang Zhenzhen saw that the two were ignoring her, and got bored, so he followed the dog and started to dig for the little tender bamboo shoots honestly.

   But because he was young, it was very difficult to dig up the bamboo shoots. After a while, he was sweating profusely and had no energy, but he peeled off a lot of the skin of the bamboo shoots and damaged some of the tips of the bamboo shoots.

   It's more fun to dig bamboo shoots than to dig wild vegetables.

   Digging for bamboo shoots is too tiring, and you can’t dig out mice.

  Chen Ling said, there are bamboo rats in the bamboo forest, let her take the dog to catch it.

   The little girl regained her strength and ran out full of blood.

  The dog and the eagle followed unwillingly.

   Under this luxurious lineup.

   Even if the bamboo rats in early spring are not as easy to find as in summer, I finally caught two little chubby dimples and came back.

   After returning home, the fresh and tender bamboo shoots, accompanied by two bamboo rats, gave the whole family a delicious meal.

  …

   The old man and his mother-in-law are here, someone will take care of the baby, and Chen Ling has time to do his own thing.

   He plans to go to the city tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, after the weather improves, and bring the first batch of ornamental fish to sell.

   is said to be the first batch, which is more general.

   In fact, according to the pictures he bought, the first batch of ornamental fish should be divided into three grades.

   The first grade is pretty.

   The second grade is pleasing to the eye.

   The third grade is ordinary.

   It is ordinary, and this grade is better than the adult fish that Chen Ling bought last year.

  He mainly wanted to see what price the first two grades could be sold for.

   When the time comes, we will run two more places in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and compare them.

   So I thought about it, and rushed to Tenghe Township, southeast of the city, to take the fish by boat tomorrow.

  Since you want to treat ornamental fish as serious income, you have to raise it on the bright side.

   was thinking about it, when he heard a group of dogs barking outside the farm, and a car whistle came.

  Wang Cunye stood up when he heard the sound, looked on his feet and said, "Who's here? Not the sea, didn't he say that he has to come here this spring to change transformers and plant power poles?"

   "It shouldn't be, the two acquaintances Heiwa don't call."

  Chen Ling shook his head, walked to the outer child, and went out to see that it was Sun Yanhong's car parked beside the wheat field. This woman and a strange man were holding some meat to feed the dog.

   But the dogs of Chen Ling's family never eat food from strangers. If someone feeds them, it will only have the opposite effect, attracting hatred from the dogs.

   Now the man and woman have been surrounded by dogs, so scared that they cling to the car and dare not move.

   "Fugui, your dogs are too ignorant of good people. Why do you want to pounce on us when you feed them?" Sun Yanhong said with a pale face.

   "Come on, who knows what's on your mind? I'm not too hard to tell you. You said that every time you come to my house, you can't come honestly? Think so much."

  Chen Ling glanced at the two of them: "Come to buy wine or salted eggs?"

   Those who come to his side usually have nothing but these two things.

   "Hey, come and see the dog, I met you on the road several times out for a walk, and you don't care when you talk to you..."

  Sun Yanhong complained deliberately, then pointed at the man next to him and said, "I brought you a big boss today. I know you have a good dog and want to spend a lot of money on it."

Just after she finished speaking, when Chen Ling was about to frown and refuse, the man next to her quickly waved his hand and said, "I won't buy it, I won't buy it, I've heard that your dog is very good, and I want to buy two puppies and go back. Raised, the puppy is fed from childhood to adulthood, and it can raise the dog well.

   I just happened to be in your county today, so I'll let Sister Sun bring it over to take a look. I don't know that your litter of puppies has grown into a big dog. Since it has grown into a big dog, then forget it. "

   has grown into a big dog, and he will not be familiar with it if he takes it home.

   And how fierce these dogs are, he saw it just now, and he still has lingering fears now.

   I'm just afraid of going back, but after looking at it carefully, my heart is very fond of these dogs.

   Then he put down the meat and introduced himself to Chen Ling enthusiastically.

   This man is from a county near Tiannan City, called Yu Bangjin, he is small, with a round head and thick lips. There are two big instant noodle factories and beverage factories in his family. Just ask Chen Ling to call him Laoyu or Laojin.

   The rain did not stop in the afternoon, and it was still raining lightly outside, so Chen Ling invited the two of them to the farm for a cup of hot tea.

   After sitting down in the living room, Yu Bangjin was still saying: "Your dog is really good, tall and strong. Look at the legs like small pillars, it's very pleasing to look at."

"But rich brothers, you have such a good dog, you should take it out to play, I know a field that specializes in dog fighting, are you interested? If you are interested, I will take you there, let's play. "
