Chapter 15 Fellow Countryman
“So that’s it.”
Qin Rong nodded clearly and then asked: “Then what else have you planted?”
Chen Ling parked the donkey cart aside and replied: "Vegetables include tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchini, green peppers, leeks, garlic sprouts, and two acres of watermelons, grapes, muskmelons, cantaloupe and other fruits... ”
Chen Ling clasped his fingers and spit out names one after another.
This is actually a seed he bought, but he hasn't had time to plant it in Dongtian yet.
Qin Rongxian didn’t know the real situation, and was shocked when he heard it, “Little brother, how many acres of greenhouse do you have?”
“Also, there are so many kinds of fruits and vegetables. "Can your family manage to come here?"
Liang Hongyu, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Chen Ling's answer.
She thought Chen Ling didn't want to tell the truth and was deliberately making nonsense.
But looking at Chen Ling's serious and serious look, he didn't feel like he was talking nonsense.
He also asked: "Really planted so many things?"
"Yeah!"
Chen Ling nodded and started to lie: "My family The greenhouse is not very big, and I don’t know what to plant in it when it was just built.”
“Later, I heard that it is right to plant fruits and vegetables that are out of season in winter, so I just planted less of them. In fact, this year. The first year of planting is just messing around, trying to see which one sells best, and then planting it next year.”
"Crossing the river by feeling for the stones..."
Liang Hongyu and his wife looked surprised after hearing this.
For some reason, he became even more interested in Chen Ling, and took the initiative to ask:
"Where are you from, little brother? What do you call him?"
"Me. , from Fenglei Town, lives in Baiyungou, his name is Chen Fugui.”
"Uncle and aunt, just call me Fugui."
Chen Ling chuckled. Since he decided to fool him, he would fool him to the end.
So he chose a place farthest from the county seat and answered.
Otherwise, talking about a nearby place, people from all over the country can’t stand to inquire about a new thing like a greenhouse.
“Huh? Are you from Fenglei Town?”
Unexpectedly, Liang Hongyu was very surprised when she heard this, "I went to Fenglei Town when I was young, and I am very familiar with Fenglei Town. I also have many acquaintances in Baiyungou, but your village is too far away, so I have never been there. A few times."
"So you are still visiting Fenglei Town, so we are still half fellow villagers."
Chen Ling also showed a cooperative expression of surprise.
But I was speechless in my heart: What a coincidence, I even mentioned it in a distant place, but in the end, this aunt was actually visiting the countryside in Fenglei Town.
Then how can I make it up?
"That's right!"
"This is called fate. You see, we have met twice in just one day..."
Qin Rongxian said with a smile.
There was a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Fugui, please tell me about the changes in Fenglei Town over the years, how is the old ancestral hall, is the Empress Temple on the mountain still there..."
Liang Hongyu was pleasantly surprised when she met the little fellow countryman, and they also started talking.
He hurriedly pulled his sleeves and asked him to sit down and talk about the changes in Fenglei Town.
Chen Ling had no choice but to use this body's memory of Fenglei Town and describe the major changes.
He didn’t know any of the specific details.
But that’s it, Liang Hongyu was very excited when she heard it, and held Qin Rongxian’s hand tightly.
His eyes were full of tears, as if he had returned to that turbulent era.
“You can step into three provinces with one foot, and you can hear the crow of cocks in three directions.”
“Fenglei Town, Fenglei Town, I have dreamed about it so many times at midnight, I can’t wait to go back and see it.”
“I wonder how many of those people from back then are still there now?”
“Rong Xian...”
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Rongxian with tearful eyes.
"I understand. When everything here is settled, I will go back with you to have a look."
Qin Rong nodded first and sighed with emotion.
Chen Ling felt a little strange from the sidelines.
What is going on with this old couple? Can a strong woman and a weak man reach this point?
Qin Rongxian must have too much respect for Aunt Liang Hongyu.
Obviously he is the husband, but he acts like a male secretary, talking to his wife about you?
"Fugui, thank you for telling me so much."
"My husband and I will bring you a gift when we return to Fenglei Town in a while."
< br>At this time, Liang Hongyu wiped her tears and said to Chen Ling.
"Okay, I will definitely entertain my uncle and aunt well then."
Chen Ling agreed with a smile on his face.
I just wish you could find me someday. However, Qin Rongxian and his wife obviously didn't know what Chen Ling was thinking. They both laughed after hearing this, and then chatted with Chen Ling about their daily life without losing interest.
After a while, the float in the river suddenly sank and suddenly disappeared.
Qin Rongxian subconsciously raised the fishing rod and pulled it back. He didn't know what was biting the hook under the water. He was so strong that when he pulled, ripples appeared on the surface of the river, making the water turbid.
Qin Rongxian hurriedly pushed the big tree by the river with his feet, and the fishing rod suddenly bent into an exaggerated arc.
This is a big guy biting the hook.
It’s a pity that Qin Rongxian is getting older and has been enjoying himself for many years, so he seems to be struggling.
“I’ll do it, uncle.”
Chen Ling walked over and took the fishing rod.
"Slow down, it should be a big fish, very powerful."
Qin Rong breathed a sigh of relief and reminded.
Chen Ling nodded and felt the power coming from the fishing rod, as if the fishing line was hooked on a stone. It was so heavy that he immediately understood in his heart.
I controlled the fishing rod and slowly tightened it. I didn’t try to slip away like a big fish, but just slowly took in the fishing line.
After a while, the intensity in the river became less intense.
A blue-black old turtle reluctantly showed its foolish figure.
“Oh, it turned out to be a turtle!”
Liang Hongyu exclaimed and hurriedly came over with a bucket.
“This guy is so big!”
Qin Rongxian also stared and said in surprise.
No wonder it is so heavy. This old turtle is almost the size of a frying pan.
After Chen Ling pulled him to the shore, he weighed it and found that it weighed about eight or nine kilograms.
Among the wild turtles, they are indeed considered big.
“In this early spring, when the weather is just getting warmer and there is less food in the water, I can still catch a few of these things.”
"When the weather gets hot, this thing will become slippery and difficult to catch."
Chen Ling threw the old turtle into the bucket and said while washing his hands.
Qin Rong nodded first: "Indeed, we have just recovered from winter. There are few fish and shrimps in the river, and there is nothing to eat, so it is easy to catch them."
"It is probably today too. It’s because it’s warm in the afternoon.”
At this time, Liang Hongyu said: “Fugui, take this old turtle with you when you go back.”
"Ah? Let me take it back?"
"That's not possible. You and Uncle Qin fished all afternoon before catching such an old turtle. How can you let me take it back?"
"What's going on?"
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly.
“What’s the point.”
"Your uncle and I won't be able to clean things up when we go back. Instead of giving them to outsiders, it's better to give them to you directly."
"After all, we are still half fellow villagers. If you are asked to take it back, take it back with us." You're so polite."
"How cool."
Liang Hongyu scolded and picked up the bucket to help him put it on the donkey cart.
As soon as I picked it up, I put it down again: "It's so heavy, I guess it weighs almost ten pounds."
"Fugui, you don't have to take it away now if you don't want to."
"Your uncle and I, with our old arms and legs, will probably be exhausted to death carrying this thing home."
< br>Qin Rongxian also followed suit.
What can Chen Ling say now? He can only agree reluctantly.
Then the three of them talked and laughed for a while.
Chen Ling saw that it was almost time to go back due to the weather, so he said goodbye.
“Well, it’s getting late.”
“Then go back quickly. Baiyungou is not close to the county seat. It will be dark when you get home alone, so be careful on the road. "Safe."
Qin Rongxian and his wife didn't say anything else, they just said.
“Okay.”
"Hey, by the way, these peanuts taste good."
"Uncle and aunt, you can just take them back and cook them. Fresh peanuts are still delicious when cooked."
Chen Ling responded, He took a bag of peanuts from the side of the donkey cart and handed them to the two of them.
Then he drove away in a donkey cart.
