Chapter 51 Going up the mountain
After lunch, Chen Ling and Wang Susu rested at home for a while, then took the cow and two puppies from the backyard and left the house.
It rained twice a while ago, but it has been very sunny these two days.
The sky is so blue, so bright and dazzling.
It is indeed getting warmer day by day, and the peach trees in the village are also blooming.
Chen Ling asked Wang Susu to ride on the cow and lead the cow away.
Su Su’s body is light and the little buffalo can carry it.
The key is, it has become familiar with Wang Susu in the past two days.
Maybe it’s because Wang Susu’s body is stained with Chen Ling’s scent which is stronger, or maybe Wang Susu’s affinity is stronger, just like facing a little baby, so she doesn’t feel uncomfortable.
In short, now Wang Susu can not only reach out and touch it, play with it, but also ride on it.
The two walked through the village. There were not many people in the village today, only a few people painting slogans about the new family planning policy. They were led around the streets by the women's director Wang Xiuhua.
"Aling, I heard from Uncle Wu that you came up with the slogan this time?"
Wang Susu asked, sitting on the back of the cow.
"Yes, Dongmei's sister said that the last slogan was not allowed to be painted until half of it was painted. She said it was still the same old slogan from previous years and could not achieve the desired publicity effect, so she asked her to think of a new one."
Chen Ling saw that Wang Xiuhua and others were far away from him, so he had no intention of saying hello. He continued: "It's nothing, I just want to think of a few slogans that the villagers can understand. I'm just thinking. ”
"What nonsense? I heard that Brother Jusheng couldn't figure it out?"
Wang Susu read a few slogans, but found them very fresh. Looking from left to right, she felt quite proud of Chen Ling. .
But soon, her attention was attracted by a sentence: "Should it be pricked or not, the house collapsed, should it be dumped or should it be dumped, the house should be robbed and the cows..."
Recited it twice softly. , Wang Susu frowned slightly: "Aling, everything else is very good, but your writing is too unremarkable."
Chen Ling knew what she meant, but she thought it was too explicit.
He smiled and said: "Since this is used, it means that this slogan is in line with their wishes, so let's not think too deeply about it."
Wang Susu didn't think much after hearing what he said. What to say.
But he couldn't help but snorted softly to express his dissatisfaction.
When Chen Ling saw this, he gave her a relieved smile and continued to lead the cow outside the village.
After leaving the village, that is, to the west of the village, you can see a lively scene in the south where the two-pillar greenhouse is built.
Donkey carts and ox carts pull thick and long bamboo poles, and carts full of cement, thickened plastic films, etc. are constantly being transported there.
Because after the tractor pulls the materials, it cannot go down the reservoir dam, and other roads leading out of the village are too narrow, or have potholes or steep slopes, making it impossible to walk.
We can only drive donkey carts and ox carts to transport the goods there.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ling suddenly understood why Er Zhu called so many people over.
For a greenhouse with fifty acres of land, it would take several days to transport the materials alone.
Moreover, cement piles have to be driven behind, otherwise the greenhouse will not be able to support it at all.
Looking towards the side of the greenhouse, Chen Ling and his wife continued to rush to their fields.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was no need to mention how happy Wang Susu was after seeing the trees that had regained their vitality.
In short, there is no doubt about Chen Ling's proposal to plant fruit trees.
“Yeah, I’ve compiled the medicine basket, but I forgot to bring it.”
After grazing the cattle around the field ridge for a while, Wang Susu suddenly screamed.
He said in annoyance: "Originally, I was thinking that after coming to the field to see what the trees looked like, I would go to the mountains to pick some medicine, but now I can't do it."
< br>"It's okay if you don't bring a medicine basket. If we find medicinal materials today, we will mark them. It will be the same when we come back tomorrow to collect them."
Chen Ling pointed to the guide: "Now the villagers If they were either working at Erzhu or busy with spring plowing, almost no one would go into the mountain, and no one would take them away even if they were marked.
Wang Susu thought that this was indeed the case, "Aling, will you go up the mountain with me?"
"Of course, how can I trust you to go alone."
Chen Ling left. He went over and pinched her little nose.
"Hehe, let's go now."
Wang Susu immediately smiled sweetly, broke away from his hand, and glared at him with her cheeks puffed up. So they took the cow and the two puppies and walked up the mountain.
"Watch your steps, Su Su. There are a lot of broken glass shards on the edge of the ditch in front, be careful to get your feet hurt."
Chen Ling warned.
The land at the foot of the mountain is less than a hundred meters away from the trail up the mountain.
There is also a small dry ditch in the middle.
It was dug by Erzhu's father before, firstly to discharge the sewage from the lime factory, and secondly, when there is a lot of rain in the mountains in summer, there is a ditch that can drain the water so that the lime factory will not be flooded.
But it has been abandoned for more than ten years now. Some unscrupulous person has poured many wine bottles into it.
Especially when there is a lot of rain in the summer, the small river ditch will be filled with water, hiding a bunch of frogs and toads. Children are most likely to get their feet pricked when they come to catch frogs.
"Okay, I'm watching."
Wang Susu responded with a sweet voice, walked briskly around the ditch, and walked up the mountain path with the two puppies.
She has lived in a village in the mountains since she was a child, often collecting herbs with her parents, and has a very strong affinity for the mountains and forests.
In the two years since their marriage, Chen Ling quickly ruined the family fortune left by his mother-in-law. It was Wang Susu who relied on the money collected from the herbs sold in the mountains to be able to maintain her expenses.
Otherwise, the money from selling the grain from the family’s ten acres of land would not be enough for him to build.
In the past, Chen Ling usually stayed away from home all day, and would never go back to the game room and video room in the county town until dark until dark.
In those days, she always went to the mountains to collect herbs alone, and then went to the village market or the county drug store to sell them alone.
How much danger would she, a weak woman, have to take during this journey?
Thinking about that scene, Chen Ling felt heartbroken.
But now...
He found himself from another time and space, and everything got better.
Looking at Wang Susu's cheerful back on the mountain road, Chen Ling couldn't help but smile.
"Aling, hurry up!"
"Okay, here we come."
Chen Ling led the cow and followed quickly.
Although the mountain path here is narrow, it is not steep, and the little buffalo can walk without difficulty.
Of course, it is fed with cave water and cave vegetables. It is different from ordinary cattle and can still walk on steep mountain roads.
As the young couple walked, they searched for medicinal materials.
Suddenly, a gray shadow flashed past.
Chen Ling and Wang Susu were shocked. Before they could realize what was going on, Hei Wa and Xiao Jin ran out barking.
"Don't chase, come back quickly..."
At this time, Chen Ling saw clearly that it was a gray rabbit, quite big, and much fatter than the rabbit at the beginning of spring.
After being alerted by them, he jumped through the mountains and forests at very fast speed.
Heiwa and Xiaojin were chasing after them, but unfortunately they were too young to catch up.
At this time, when they heard Chen Ling calling them, they reluctantly gave up the chase, turned around and ran back to the two of them.
"Two little fools, even running around up the mountain, are not afraid of stepping on the trap."
Chen Ling scolded them with a cold face.
There is no such thing as illegal hunting at this time, and you can enter the forest at will.
As long as there is no meat to eat for a while, the villagers will find ways to go to the mountains to perform toothpaste rituals.
But when you go into the mountains, you don’t always get satisfactory results.
So it is very common to put clips into the mountains.
