Chapter 22 Entering the City Again
Qin Dongmei's chest felt tight due to Chen Ling's last words, but seeing Chen Ling's fierce side, she did not dare to say any more for fear of irritating him.
However, the hatred in his eyes became even stronger. He spat fiercely at the opposite door, stood up and patted the dust on his body.
Just as he was about to go home, his sister Qin Qiumei walked out at this time.
“What’s wrong, Dongmei, who are you arguing with outside so early in the morning?”
It's just that today, the little woman is not as dressed up as she was two days ago. She is wrapped in a thick cotton coat and her face doesn't look good.
The steps are also a bit frivolous, as if he is about to fall over when the wind blows.
"Hmph, who else could it be? That prodigal son across the street!"
Qin Dongmei's face was ugly, and she was secretly glad that her sister didn't see what happened just now, otherwise her younger sister would be better-looking than her. She was favored and had more status than her when she grew up.
She has a low self-esteem, otherwise she wouldn't be showing off her teeth all day long. If she were to see her making a fool of herself again, she would be completely embarrassed.
"This son of a bitch has become braver today. He dares to scold me, and he dares not to take our Chun Yuan seriously to see what he can do."
"A fool is so stupid, I’ll see how a prodigal with shit in his head will cry when the ground doesn’t grow food!”
Qin Dongmei kept cursing.
Speaking of "dung", I remembered that Chen Ling was almost pushed into the pit just now, and my stomach suddenly turned upside down. The more I thought about it, the more angry and resentful I became.
“What happened, is he making trouble with you?”
Qin Qiumei frowned and asked.
She understands her sister's character. She has been very aggressive since she was a child and has suffered a lot. After marrying a good husband, her temper became even worse.
She looks bad every day, and few people in Chen Wangzhuang dare to mess with her.
But usually no one wants to associate with her.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it. Go back to the house and take a nap. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Qin Dongmei patted the dust on her hands and glanced at her sister, "Look at your weak body. You haven't been out for a while, but your lips are dry and white. Go back to the house quickly. It's best not to see the wind in these two days. "
"Yes. "
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Qiumei didn't ask.
I just frowned and glanced at the opposite door one more time, then turned around and walked into the house with my sister.
……
On the other side, Wang Susu and Chen Ling were a little worried after returning home.
"Aling, if you make trouble with Dongmei like this, she won't hold a grudge against us, right?"
"Her sister is the director of the township family planning office, and Chun Yuan is in the township health center. He has a lot of connections..."
"If you give us a little trouble in the future, we will suffer."
"Er Zhu was arrested for being a hooligan before. Did it happen secretly? ”
After hearing this, Chen Ling smiled with relief: "It's okay, such a trivial matter, what's the big deal..."
"Besides, Er Zhu attacked someone and beat him very badly. I didn't do that." Hit her."
"Although I really want to give her a big mouth when I see her bullying you."
Wang Susu didn't think anything at first when she heard what he said. But after hearing Chen Ling's last words.
A warmth arose in my heart, and the corners of my mouth curved slightly.
She almost cried in anger just now.
However, Chen Ling's performance this time made her feel scared at first, but after thinking about it, she felt very at ease.
This was the first time that she was protected like this by her own man.
Although I felt a little sweet in my heart, I said quite seriously: "But don't, if you get caught, it's not a joke."
I haven't seen Chen Erzhu act like that. He was a fool. He was arrested for a few years, and his wife no longer followed him.
Wang Susu is quite afraid of this.
"I know, I don't know her like a shrew."
"The porridge is cooked, let's eat."
Chen Ling smiled, walked over and put the pot in Take it off the stove.
Liu Mang Zui is still there in this era. Although it is not as vicious as it was in the previous ten years, it is not something that ordinary people can bear.
But it was abolished in 1997. He just needs to be more cautious and not step on that line.
"Huh? Today's sweet potato porridge is particularly fragrant!"
At the dinner table, Wang Susu took a bite of the porridge and couldn't help but praise it.
"Does it smell good? I guess it has been boiled for long enough, and the sweetness in the dried sweet potatoes has come out."
Chen Ling responded without raising his head. He was feeding Heiwa and Xiaojin goat milk.
Originally, this job was supposed to be done by Wang Susu, to cultivate the relationship between her and the two puppies.
Unexpectedly, something like this happened in the morning. Hei Wa and Xiao Jin were frightened and did not want to let outsiders contact them except Chen Ling.
So he had to go into battle in person.
After feeding Hei Wa and Xiao Jin, Chen Ling went to get two more bowls of cornmeal.
If rats are introduced into the cornmeal, humans cannot eat it, but they can be fed to chickens.
Just mix it with bran, chop the peanut branches, vines and leaves piled in Dongtian with a hatchet, mix them together, and pour them into the stone trough next to the chicken coop.
The branches, vines and leaves of the peanuts watered by the Dongtian stream are indeed very attractive, causing the big rooster and several hens to fight for them.
Fortunately, Chen Ling fed him a lot, otherwise he would have had to fight.
After being busy for a while, I had breakfast.
Chen Ling hitched the donkey cart from the backyard and rushed to the county town.
After leaving the village, we passed the reservoir dam.
As usual, Chen Ling found a remote place and piled peanuts all over the donkey cart before continuing on the road.
Sitting on the donkey cart, bathing in the warm sunshine of early spring, you can see the beautiful mountain scenery.
When Chen Ling was in a good mood, he couldn't help but wave his whip and sing loudly:
"You are on the other side of the mountain,
I am standing on this ridge of beams,
Call me sister but you didn't hear me,
You are the pinnacle of my brother's heart... ”
The weather today is very nice and warm.
While driving the donkey cart on the road, there were obviously more birds chirping in the surrounding mountains and forests.
Chen Ling would see a few hares coming and going from time to time, but they would be alerted before he could get closer, and they would run away in a far distance.
"The weather is really nice, it will definitely be warmer in the afternoon."
"After processing the peanuts, I will go to the river and try to see if I can catch fish, or if I am lucky, Let’s catch another old turtle.”
Chen Ling squinted at the warm sun in the sky and thought to himself.
There are fewer fish sellers here, mainly because they are so common in normal times. After the weather warms up, there should not be too many fish and shrimps in the puddles in the rivers and ponds.
In dense areas, you can catch fish by touching them with your hands.
The living environment is far from being comparable to that of later generations, and can be called flooding.
Not long after, the county seat arrived.
Chen Ling rushed to the nearest oil shop. When he rushed there, the boss was very enthusiastic.
"Brother Fugui, you are here."
"I have tried it, and your peanut oil is very good."
"The car you pulled over today cost 9 cents I want all the pounds.”
This is the person who gave birth to the sheep at home, his name is Liu Xingeng.
He has a round head, a short body, and a pair of small eyes that are very lively.
This is the guy who can't laugh.
As long as you smile when talking, you will appear to be very cunning and need to be beaten.
The scale of his oil shop is not large, and can only be considered medium in the county.
But the demand for peanuts and soybeans is not much less than that of Dyoufang.
Chen Ling also knew this, so he said: "Boss Liu, let's take a look at my peanuts today, inspect them, and then we can discuss the price."
"Don't let you be dissatisfied and think I'm fooling you with defective products."
Today's peanuts have been stored in the cave for two more days. Chen Ling feels that they are better than the previous peanuts.
No matter the taste or other aspects, it must be better.
Sold for 9 cents per catty. To be honest, it’s a bit of a loss.
He wants to increase the price.
As the old saying goes, when doing business, you have to ask for high prices and pay back the money, but you can't go too far, and you still have to abide by the market conditions.
Last time he came to sell peanuts for the first time and tested the price.
I also found out that peanuts are in short supply, and several oil mills don’t have much inventory, so they won’t be able to support this year’s new peanut harvest.
So I just wanted to test the highest price the oil shop can offer.
