Chapter 12 Heiwa Xiaojin
Although Wang Susu's family doesn't have much farmland, they still grow a small amount of food. Moreover, after marrying here, they have done a lot of farm work, and they can still tell the quality of the soil. of.
After seeing the two small piles of soil that Chen Ling poured out of his pocket, he was a little surprised.
"Is this really the soil from the wasteland where Erzhu's family used to be?"
Chen Ling smiled and nodded, "Of course, is it still fake?"
"I'll take you to have a look after lunch, and you'll know."
Wang Susu obviously believed a lot after saying this.
But then, he frowned slightly, still seeming a little worried.
Chen Ling also knew what the little daughter-in-law was worried about, so she continued to comfort her: "Don't worry, Susu. As long as the soil is not extremely bad, I can find a way to make it grow."
“You have to believe me in whatever I told you before!”
Then he winked at her and smiled mysteriously.
Wang Susu was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled at his funny way of squinting her eyes.
Chen Ling also laughed.
Then he went to take out the pots and bowls and prepare to eat.
“Woof, woof, woof…”
When the two puppies saw Chen Ling leaving, they couldn't stay any longer and struggled out of Wang Susu's arms.
Wagging her little tail, she followed Chen Ling tremblingly.
But after all, they were still too small to catch up with Chen Ling. Their short legs were so anxious that the two little guys collided directly and rolled several times on the ground.
When I looked up, I found that Chen Ling was missing, and I screamed anxiously.
Wang Susu couldn't help but smile. When Chen Ling came out of the house with the pots and bowls, she couldn't help but said in a funny way: "Aling, these two puppies are so clingy to you. Screaming in a hurry.”
Well, when the two little guys saw Chen Ling appearing in front of them again, they hurriedly ran to him wagging their tails, and then tried to climb up along their legs.
It was rare to see Wang Susu so happy, so Chen Ling put down the pots and bowls, picked up a puppy with one hand, and held it in his arms.
The two little guys were squirming in his arms, "Seeing Wu Susu, they want to pester me to feed."
Wang Susu laughed with a 'puff'. .
Then his face turned slightly red and he looked at him angrily: "Don't talk nonsense."
But he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and said: "Why don't you give them a name."
"Name it? Okay!"
Chen Ling thought for a moment After thinking: "The black one is a male, let's call him Heiwa, and the yellow one is a female. If the name is more delicate, let's call it Xiaojin."
"Heiwa and Xiaojin, Susu, what do you think? ”
Chen Ling smiled and expressed satisfaction with the name he chose.
What little black and little yellow? There are too many dogs calling this. When they go out and shout, the dogs themselves are confused and can’t tell who they are calling.
"Huh? Heiwa, Xiaojin..."
Wang Susu heard it and said it several times, and found it quite smooth.
I couldn't help but smile and nodded: "It sounds nice, let's call them Heiwa and Xiaojin!"
So, the names of the two puppies were decided. .
Wang Susu had lunch ready at noon.
Newly steamed steamed buns, simply fried green onions and eggs.
Seeing this, Chen Ling went to cook another pot of pimple soup. The water was the stream in the cave and some spinach was put in it.
When the spinach came back from the fields, I dug a few spinach seedlings in other people's vegetable fields, transplanted them into the cave, and they grew quickly.
So the taste of the pimple soup is unexpectedly good.
Wang Susu couldn't control it and was overstuffed again.
Originally, Chen Ling wanted to cook two special dishes for his wife at noon.
But it was only the beginning of February, and it was very cold in the mountains. There were not many vegetables growing in the fields, and it was difficult for him to get them out of the cave.
I can only wait until I go to the county town to sell peanuts tomorrow and then make it for my little wife. Then I will have a suitable excuse.
……
Not long after lunch, the loudspeaker in the village rang again.
It is said that every household should not go out this afternoon, and the township family planning office will go door-to-door to check and register. So in the afternoon, Chen Ling and Wang Susu stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.
However, the situation before him brought back many memories for him.
I still remember that in that parallel time and space, my aunt’s family had to come to live in their hometown for two years when they gave birth to a second child.
There was nothing that could be done at that time. If someone came to their door, ordinary families would not be able to handle it.
This is just a second child, that’s all.
What is even more touching is that just twenty years later, the situation was completely reversed.
Becomes encouragement and support.
But at that time, few young people were willing to give birth.
This inverted difference between different eras is very sad.
After thinking wildly, Chen Ling also took advantage of this time to pack up the peanuts in the cave, planning to plant one or two acres of land tomorrow and bring them to the county town to sell them the day after tomorrow.
He has tried it before.
Under the influence of his subconscious mind.
Peanuts in the Riyue Cave can speed up the drying process and can be completely dried in one night.
It doesn't take much effort, just tinker it out and dry it.
The remaining peanut leaves and branches and vines were removed and not thrown away. It was such a waste of good things. It is better to keep them and feed them to the chickens.
Chen Ling was minding his own business while Wang Susu made two pairs of shoes for spring.
At dusk, Qin Qiumei came over with people from the township family planning office.
After a brief check-in, I left two boxes of family planning supplies, what later generations called raincoats, and then left in a hurry.
But before leaving, Chen Ling couldn't help but feel a little annoyed by Qin Qiumei's look.
After meeting Wang Susu, this girl’s eyes clearly revealed a meaning.
A flower was stuck on the cow dung.
Chen Ling couldn't help but feel frustrated when she wanted to argue but had nowhere to argue.
Wang Susu didn't notice anything strange. After making the new shoes, she happily made a doghouse for the two little guys, Heiwa and Xiaojin.
These two little guys worked together to finish a small bowl of pimple soup at noon, which made their bellies full. They curled up next to the stove and fell asleep all afternoon.
"Eat and sleep. Eat when you sleep. Don't gain weight in the future and make it harder for you to catch a rabbit..."
Chen Ling muttered, got up and went out to make dinner.
Generally, the winter here is relatively cold, so cooking is done indoors.
However, Chen Ling still felt that the rice cooked with wood was more fragrant, so he continued to cook in the yard with the simple stove he built with stones in the morning.
After Wang Susu had two meals cooked by Chen Ling, she left everything to him.
Because it is so delicious, it will be unforgettable after eating it once.
Besides, in this era, there is not much delicious food in mountain villages.
The best meal is to eat a few meat or dumplings at the end of the year.
So Chen Ling can make home-cooked meals taste so good, there is no reason for her to rush to cook.
But when it came time to wash the pots and dishes after the meal, she still couldn't bear to let Chen Ling do it alone.
Chen Ling tried to persuade her twice but to no avail, so he no longer refused, mainly because he realized that this could also effectively enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
For example, after two meetings at noon and evening, Wang Susu became obviously more talkative and smiled more and more when she was in front of him.
For Chen Ling, this is what makes him feel most satisfied and happy.
……
Two days passed quietly.
On the third day, just after dawn, Chen Ling got up to cook. After breakfast, he went to Wang Laishun's house to borrow a donkey cart, and then drove towards the county seat under the rising sun in the east. go.
Today he is mainly going to sell peanuts and go to the county farmer's market for a morning market.
But how could this matter be known to outsiders, so I used the excuse of buying a rake and other farm tools and borrowed Wang Laishun's donkey cart as a cover.
Otherwise, so many peanuts would be conjured out of thin air, and it would be impossible to transport them without a car.
