Chapter 35 Mouse
Walking into the yard, Wang Jusheng’s daughter-in-law Zhang Qiaoling was looking around nervously with a flashlight.
Wang Jusheng saw this and hurriedly walked over: "What's up, Qiaoling, where was the noise just now?"
"I'm not sure, it sounded like it was coming from the house to the west. ”
Zhang Qiaoling was relieved when she saw Wang Jusheng coming back. Then when she saw Chen Ling following her man, she smiled and said hello.
"Wealth is coming."
Chen Ling nodded and called Qiaoling sister-in-law.
"Bring the flashlight, Fugui and I will take a look at what's going on. Don't let anything into the house."
Wang Jusheng took the flashlight and pushed open the west room with Chen Ling door.
Before they entered, they heard a "plop" inside. Wang Jusheng's flashlight immediately swung over and saw a huge rat swooping past the two feet at a very fast speed. amazing.
Zhang Qiaoling was far away, and she could only see a black shadow coming out of the house, and she immediately screamed and hid in fear.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a mouse!"
Wang Jusheng said in a deep voice.
Then he said in confusion: "It's strange, my family and Anda's family both have cats. Usually there are no mice in the house."
Cats in rural areas basically hunt cats. He is an expert on rats, because in this era there is little leftover food at home, and if you don’t catch rats, you will go hungry.
Of course I also caught some birds, grasshoppers, crickets and four-legged snakes.
No way, the ability to hunt comes from hunger.
"Haha, it is estimated that mice will be born in spring. It is normal to risk their lives to find food."
"Brother Jusheng, let's go into the house and take a look. Listen to what happened just now. , there can't be only one mouse in the house."
Chen Ling reminded.
In fact, it was not only because of the noise just now, but his eyesight and ears were now much stronger than ordinary people, and he could detect the rustling of rats in the dark of the room.
"I think so."
Wang Jusheng nodded, used a flashlight to find the location of the light rope, and pulled the light away.
The moment the light came on, I saw a dozen big gray rats lying on a large vat in the corner of the room, holding peanuts in their mouths and climbing up to the beams along the wires in the room.
On the other end of the beam is a hole for electrical wires. Half of a mouse's head poked out of the hole, looking around.
These mice were more courageous than the one just now. They didn't rush to run when the light was turned on, and carried peanuts to the beams calmly.
When Wang Jusheng saw it, he was furious.
"You idiot, you dare to ruin my peanuts!"
I picked up a broom behind the door and swung it over, but these mice were so slippery, and they fled in all directions. Wang Jusheng Can't hit even one.
“Brother Jusheng, sister-in-law, don’t put peanuts here next time, put them in the room where you sleep.”
At this time, Zhang Qiaoling also came in, and Chen Ling reminded the two of them.
He knew in his mind that Peanut must have brought this mouse.
After all, the peanuts he gave to Wang Jusheng were watered by the Dongtian Stream, so their attraction to animals was definitely indisputable.
“It’s all my fault that I didn’t pay attention before.”
“I put the peanuts into the jar and put the weight on it. I thought that if there is a cat in the house, mice can’t get in.”
"Even if there were rats, I was still holding down two big weights. I didn't expect these rats to be fucking thieves. They even knocked down such heavy weights."
Wang Jusheng shook his head and rolled to the ground. Picked up the two large weights that had fallen down.
Obviously the noise that Chen Ling and the others heard when they came in was the rat dropping the weight on the ground.
“It’s a pity that you gave me the peanuts, Fugui.”
Wang Jusheng said with a look of pain on his face.
After helping Chen Ling work in the fields for the past few days, Chen Ling asked him to bring back a lot of peanuts, which he thought he could eat for a while.
In the end, it’s time to forget about it.
"It's okay, just a few peanuts. I still have some over there after eating."
Chen Ling walked over and looked into the tank. Sure enough, the rats caused a lot of damage. Not only did they steal food and move it into the nest, but they also peeed and peeed. The peanuts smelled bad, and it was obvious that they couldn't eat them.
"Oh, that's not what I meant..."
"I meant that these peanuts are a rare and good thing. They were harmed by rats before they were eaten by humans, which made me feel distressed and angry."
Wang Jusheng gritted his teeth and said.
"If that doesn't work, go ahead and put two mousetraps under this room."
Wang Qiaoling also feels sorry for these peanuts, after all, they are really good at producing milk.
"Get off! Get off later after dinner!"
"Get down two more traps, and I'll trap these bastard scourges to death!"
Wang Jusheng said bitterly.
Then he turned around and said to his mother-in-law: "Fugui is coming to the house, let's not worry about these trivial matters for now."
"Hurry up and prepare the food, let Fugui show you his hand, let you Let’s see if I fooled you.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiaoling glanced at Chen Ling and said with a smile: "Fugui, don't listen to your brother Jusheng's nonsense. I was just joking with him."
"It's not easy for you to come home. How can there be any reason to ask you to cook? It’s too outrageous!”
Actually, Zhang Qiaoling just said something out of anger.
I saw Wang Jusheng eating at Chen Ling's house every day and never going home to eat, so I couldn't help but complain.
Is the food at Fugui’s family really that delicious? Makes you want to eat at someone else’s house three times a day?
In the end, Wang Jusheng said that it is really that delicious. If you don’t believe it, I will ask Fugui to cook a meal for you another day. You will be convinced after eating it once.
Zhang Qiaoling was unforgiving and said, "Why don't you scream?"
As a result, I was actually called today.
It made her feel a little embarrassed, making her seem greedy.
"No, there's nothing outrageous about it. I've already summoned Fugui, so I have to show my hand."
"I must convince you today."
Wang Jusheng said firmly.
These words made Zhang Qiaoling feel a little hot on her face, and she thought to herself, why is this fool still showing off in front of outsiders?
"Fugui, I'm kidding you, my Jusheng family has this temper."
Chen Ling waved his hand with a smile: "What's the point? I just appreciate brother Jusheng's behavior. Temper, otherwise we won’t be able to get along! ”
Wang Jusheng burst out laughing when he heard this.
“Look, look, this is what men say, your wife knows nothing!”
“Hurry up and turn on the lights in the yard, wealth likes to be in Cooking in the yard.”
Actually, it was just because he wanted to show off, because he knew that Chen Ling’s cooking was very fragrant and the aroma could spread far away.
So I wanted Chen Ling to do it in his yard, so that the neighbors could smell it and become jealous.
The yard of Wang Jusheng's house is long in shape, long from north to south and short from east to west. There are many trees planted and there are water tanks one by one. The big ones are more than one meter high and the small ones are only about one foot. They are placed side by side. Together.
The stove in Wang Jusheng's house is made of a small water tank, filled with red mud and dug for ventilation. The charcoal and wood can be burned inside, making it very convenient for cooking.
Zhang Qiaoling had prepared all the ingredients in advance, and Chen Ling cooked the food without much effort.
Because there were many trees in the yard, it was not that bright after turning on the electric light, so Chen Ling secretly added some water from Dongtian Creek and no one saw it.
Put four dishes and one soup on the table, and the aroma suddenly wafts out.
Only then did Zhang Qiaoling suddenly understand the reason why her husband went to Chen Ling's house every three days to have dinner.
It smells so good! So delicious!
Wang Jusheng saw that his mother-in-law was swallowing her saliva quietly, and immediately smiled and said: "How are you, wife? I am not fooling you!"
Zhang Qiaoling glanced at him and said: " I’m going to take the baby out...”
Thank you, Brother Yanan, for insisting on voting every day. Thank you for your support!
