Chapter 37: Meeting
“Look at this situation, it’s probably Wong Tai Sin.”
Wang Laishun pulled the wound on the back of the chicken’s neck twice and turned his head.
"Dongmei, you didn't hear anything?"
"No, no..."
Qin Dongmei's expression changed, and then she looked at her sister, "Sister, did you hear anything?"
"Neither did I."
Qin Qiumei shook her head and looked at the dead chickens on the ground. , thinking that my sister is really unlucky these days, and not many things go well for her.
"Hmph, I said she wronged someone, but you still don't believe it. No, I did something immoral and got Wong Tai Sin coming to my door, and I still want to rely on others, and I'm not afraid of retribution."
At this time, Mrs. Wang muttered, her face full of sarcasm.
Qin Dongmei was so angry that her eyebrows stood up: "If you dare to fart randomly again, I will tear your mouth apart..."
Weasels are taboo among country people.
When Qin Dongmei discovered the wound on the chicken's neck just now, she knew something was wrong and her chicken might die in vain.
Just when she was feeling troubled, this old immortal came to expose her shortcomings.
“Oh, look how awesome you are, you even tear my mouth apart.”
Mrs. Wang sneered and shouted loudly: "The neighbors are all criticizing me, and I don't know who it is. They blocked the door of my house early in the morning. If they say that I killed her chicken medicine and asked me to pay for it, I I didn’t even understand what was going on, so I was scolded all over the house and outside. Who did I offend?”
“I won’t leave until you give me an explanation today.”< br>
Qin Dongmei suddenly turned blue: "Ah, I'll give you a ridiculous explanation. If you hadn't lured my chickens to your house to lay eggs every day, how could I have doubted you?"
Both people Even though they didn't give in, they held on to the previous matter and started arguing again.
……
"Aling, what's going on inside?"
Wang Susu walked over, glanced curiously into the yard, and asked in a low voice.
“There was a weasel in this woman’s house, and all her chickens were bitten to death. She thought it was Aunt Wang in the back yard who was causing trouble...”
Chen Ling made things simple After saying it once, he looked at the sky and found that the rain had stopped, so he put away his umbrella.
“Let’s go home and eat. There’s nothing to see in this mess.”
"Yeah."
Wang Susu was not a good person either, so the two of them turned around and went home.
After a while, after making breakfast, the two of them were eating on the stone table in the courtyard, and the noise outside gradually died down.
After a while, Wang Laishun opened the door and walked in.
“Hey, good guy, I said it smells so good, eating meat early in the morning.”
"Haha, there is a lot of rain in spring, and the dried bamboo shoots from a year ago are a bit wet. If you don't eat them, they will become moldy. It's just a good time to stir-fry some meat."
Chen Ling smiled and handed over a bamboo chair, "Have you eaten, Uncle Wu?" , let’s sit down and have something together.”
“No, I’ve had breakfast these days.”
Wang Laishun waved his hand and sat down.
Chen Ling then noticed that he was still carrying two chickens. He had just carried them behind his back, but now he sat down and placed them at his feet.
Chen Ling glanced at it and said, "Is this the chicken you got from the opposite door?"
"What did you get it from? Bought it!"
"This woman from the Chunyuan family is very unreasonable. My sister-in-law is getting more and more noisy and no one can stop her."
"She usually looks down on this and that. If she is so capable, why would she rely on others to recruit Wong Tai Sin? Look at her virtue. I won’t let go of my second sister-in-law.”
“Don’t you just feel sorry for the chickens in the yard?”
"But for Director Qin's sake, I couldn't say anything, so I took the lead and bought two for her. Yuqiang in your front yard also bought two. I'm too lazy to care about the rest. Let her do as she likes."
Wang Laishun rolled up a cigarette and started smoking.
"Uncle Wu, this chicken has been bitten by Wong Tai Sin, can you still eat it?"
Wang Susu couldn't help but ask.
“Is there anything we can’t eat? I’ve eaten rats before during famines.”
Wang Laishun grinned and didn't care.
Chen Ling was a little stunned at this time, because he discovered that since Wang Laishunti slipped two chickens into the door. The two little guys, Hei Wa and Xiao Jin, did not come over to sniff someone when someone came to the house like they did before. Instead, they hid far away. When they noticed that he was looking at him, they trotted back to the house with their heads down.
These abnormal behaviors made Chen Ling think more and more wrong. What happened to these two little things? How does it sound like a guilty conscience?
As soon as he had this idea, Chen Ling's eyes widened.
Damn, they couldn't have killed the chicken across the door, right?
How old are these two little things? Although they are extremely smart and may hold grudges, but are they going to kill the chicken?
Chen Ling still doesn’t believe it.
How could an ordinary dog that big dare to mess with the village chickens? It would be nice not to be chased away.
It shouldn't be possible that they did it.
Chen Ling shook his head secretly because this was too magical.
But then she thought about what Qin Dongmei said last time about the two puppies burrowing into her chicken coop, and she felt suspicious again.
"Rich, rich, why are you suffering from hysteria?"
"Huh? What's wrong, Uncle Wu?"
"Didn't the village redivide the cultivated land in the past few days? It’s almost finished now. Someone from the village wants to come over and take a look. I heard from the boss that you did a good job in cooking, so I wanted to ask you to help me clear the table of food and wine.”
Wang Laishun said, stroking his chin at the two chickens on the ground: "If that's okay, you can keep one chicken and cook the other one to entertain the village leaders."
"This..."
"I'm really sorry, Fifth Uncle, I really have something to do today."
Chen Ling didn't expect Wang Jusheng to shake himself out so quickly, and was quite speechless.
This time, his father, the village chief, is here. Will he be asked to be a cook when there are weddings and funerals in the village in the future?
So he said in embarrassment: "Isn't this a big fair in the countryside today? I have to buy some things, and if appropriate, I can buy an animal and come back."
"If I come back early in the evening, I can go there and give it to you." I'm afraid you can't wait to cook a table of dishes..."
Wang Laishun sighed after hearing this: "It's really not possible, and it's not possible to come back early. The leaders will come at noon, have a drink and leave in the afternoon. I can’t wait until night.”
“It’s the boss who keeps saying that your cooking is delicious. He also told me that you helped Director Qin come up with some promotional slogans yesterday, and they were very good.”
"No, I'm just thinking about letting you show your face in front of the leader..."
Chen Ling was slightly stunned and said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Uncle Wu, don't listen to brother Jusheng's nonsense. How dare I show off in front of the leader with my half-hearted skills? I'm most afraid of meeting the leader."
"You kid." "Although he is much better than before, he is still lazy at heart!"
Wang Laishun pointed at him, picked up a chicken and walked out.
Chen Ling took a look and shouted from behind: "Hey, Fifth Uncle, there's one left behind!"
"You two, keep it to eat, don't take it out..." ”
"You guys bring me vegetables every now and then, why don't you want me to give them to an old hen?"
Wang Laishun waved his hand and strode away.
Chen Ling suddenly laughed: "This old man is much better than his mother-in-law."
Afterwards, after going back and explaining a few words to Wang Susu, Chen Ling took his Phoenix He rolled out his brand-name bicycle and headed towards the countryside, preparing to buy an animal at the market.
Buying a big animal these days is no small matter. Usually the whole family discusses it, picks it together, and then buys it after they find the one they like.
However, the situation of Chen Ling's family was that they had no father or mother. As long as Wang Susu had no objection, he could go alone.
The township above Chenwangzhuang is called Changle Township. It is very far from Chenwangzhuang. A trip to Changle Township can take you three round trips to the county seat.
Today is the day when there is a big gathering in Changle Township.
In this era, there are big fairs, which are not only large in scale, but also held all day long. They only close the stalls and go home when it gets dark at night. It is very lively.
Everything is sold in the market, food, clothing, play, things that fly in the sky, things that run on the ground, things that swim in the water, things that jump in grass nests...
Chen Ling rode his bicycle on the road and calculated carefully. He had not been to a big market in almost twenty years. Every time he remembered it, he could only rely on his memories.
Although there were still fairs in the countryside in later generations, the scale was far from what it was at this time, and the original flavor had long since been lost.
When Chen Ling returned to his hometown in his previous life, he went to the market several times, but he always came back disappointed and could no longer feel the atmosphere in his memory.
“Huh, we’re finally here.”
After pedaling more than 20 miles on the mountain road, Chen Ling finally saw the iconic archway outside Changle Township and wrote the two characters Changle.
Behind the archway, there are long stalls on both sides of the street, with people coming and going as far as the eye can see.
The shouts, the shouts, the roar of people, the noise is coming.
A long-lost feeling came to his heart, and the scenes buried deep in his memory immediately became vivid. Chen Ling couldn't help but feel hot in his heart and showed a big smile.
