Chapter 63 Awkward
Bitter?
Chen Ling smiled, that’s because people nowadays don’t know how to deal with it.
Besides, I can’t bear to put in the oil.
Although it is already the 1990s, most mountain people still live a tight and miserable life.
When it comes to eating oil, it is more frugal.
It is very common to eat two pounds of oil for three to three months.
Think about it, two of the three meals a day are pickles, and the remaining one is cooking. How much oil can be used?
There are even more frugal ones. Even though they only cook one meal a day, they always use a brush to carefully apply a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pot.
It just tastes oily.
Sometimes the brush is inevitably dipped in water, and after it enters the oil tank, more and more oil is consumed...
People in the different villages used to say that Chen Ling was lazy and was a waste of money.
Compared with other people’s lives, it’s really like this.
In the eyes of other people, Chen Ling, let alone accumulating a family fortune.
It’s just not material for living.
If you continue to ruin your family, one day the northwest wind will no longer drink.
......
"Brother Xian will come to my place another day, and I will make a crayfish dish. The taste will definitely satisfy you."
Chen Ling glanced at the reservoir, feeling kind The urge to immediately go down and catch a net.
“Okay, let’s call Jusheng together then.”
Wang Lixian smiled.
I had a meal with Wang Jusheng at Chen Ling's house last time, and we became familiar with him. I found that this college student had a good personality and was easy to get along with.
"Don't worry, we must not forget Brother Jusheng."
Chen Ling also laughed, and then asked: "Isn't Erzhu here responsible for lunch? Why do you let you personally Come here to catch fish?”
“They are in charge of the food, but Brother Guoping and Uncle Sangui are the ones cooking the food, so they can’t do too heavy a job.”
< br>
"I just help with shopping for groceries, cooking, and cleaning up some chores every day."
"So let us take turns doing the fishing job..."
Wang Lixian said He looked up and pointed over there: "Look, there's smoke coming from the kitchen. We built a shed two days ago and set up a stove. It's very convenient for cooking."
Chen Ling took a look and understood. Nod.
Then he drove the bullock cart and walked down the dam to the outside of the village with Wang Lixian talking.
We are going to go directly to the fields to plant these five hundred saplings.
Anyway, with his current physical condition, this bit of work only takes half a day for him.
Just dig the hole and fill it with soil.
Don’t worry about life or death.
After all the saplings are planted, water them uniformly with cave water to ensure that each tree can grow well.
Chen Ling and Wang Lixian were talking.
The people with Wang Lixian couldn't get a word in, so they muttered to each other behind the scenes.
From time to time, he glanced at Chen Ling with a strange look in his eyes.
They all feel that they are very different from the person they knew before.
Listening to the conversation between Chen Ling and Wang Lixian, as well as their speech and behavior, it was obvious that they were much more mature and steady.
This is already a bit of a passing day.
So later on, the two young men who had gone out to work with Chen Ling deliberately spoke louder.
Whatever Wang Lixian and Chen Ling said, they also followed and talked about related topics.
This was obviously because he wanted to join the conversation between the two of them, but because he and Chen Ling had some minor issues, he was too embarrassed to talk to them directly, so he used this method to attract attention. When Chen Ling found out, he couldn't help but feel funny, so he slightly responded to them.
Sure enough, the two immediately took the initiative to chat.
I didn’t say a few words to Wang Lixian, and then started talking about wealth and honor, and even talked about some things about when I went out to work.
The festival that year was also told in a joking tone.
Then the other people couldn't help but chime in, laughing and joking, and the unhappiness in the past disappeared unknowingly.
The group of people talking and laughing became more and more lively.
So when Chen Erzhu came over on his motorcycle and saw them, especially when he saw Chen Ling in the middle, there was undisguised surprise on his face.
"Fugui, what are you doing?"
"I just ordered a batch of fruit saplings and are going to plant them in the fields."
Chen Ling said calmly A smile.
A young man next to him also said: "Er Zhu, didn't you hear the loudspeaker shouting? Someone from the county sent it over and asked Fugui to go to the reservoir dam to pull him up."
This young man is two years older than Chen Ling. His name is Chen Ze. He and his family are from the same family. They grew up together and are of the same generation.
When I went out to work in the past, I had a conflict with Chen Ling. Now that I had just settled my differences, it was time to find something to talk to when I had nothing to say. After Chen Ling finished speaking, he stood up and added.
"No, I just went to the county to order two large barrels of soybean oil, otherwise there won't be enough for everyone to cook..."
Chen Erzhu said something, and then a pair of thin His long little eyes looked back and forth between Chen Ling and the fruit saplings on the oxcart.
There was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, especially when he remembered the last time he met this kid in the county, and lied to him in front of him, and his tone couldn't help but become angry:
"You've been so courageous lately, you even dare to plant fruit trees! With your little wealth, don't lose your pants..."
"You don't know about this, Erzhu!" "
"After the wasteland in front of your house was exchanged for Fugui, grass has grown this year. Two days ago, I went up the mountain to get animal traps, and I saw those half-dead trees. They also sprouted new branches this year. It has grown green leaves and I think it’s okay to plant fruit trees.”
“If you don’t believe me, ask Brother Xian, he also knows.”
Before Chen Ling could take the next step, Chen Ze said it first.
"Yes, I also know about this."
Wang Lixian nodded. He knew about Chen Ling and Chen Erzhu, so he deliberately added: "If you look at it, it won't be in two years. Those thirty acres of land can be turned into fertile farmland."
Others then followed suit.
“I heard some gossip in the village before, saying that Erzhu treated Fugui as a fool. Nothing grows in the wasteland, so he insisted on giving it to Fugui. I don’t know how he fooled people in private.”< br>
“Looking at it now, it’s not the case at all. A person like Er Zhu who is doing big things will not act like this. He must know that the fertility of his wasteland has increased again. Otherwise, Fugui will definitely not agree to follow Er Zhu. Change of pillars, wealth is not a fool..."
"In the future, we can't keep listening to those women in the village. It's all nonsense."
"That's right. I didn't come back from my job for a year and a half, so they said I died outside. These dogs Sun's mother-in-law, you can't believe what they say."
"..."
The words you said to me made Chen Erzhu extremely embarrassed, so he could only squeeze out. He put on a smile and kept nodding in response to a few people, hiding his embarrassment and inner annoyance.
I was cursing these idiots in my heart. When did they have such a good relationship with this stupid boy Fugui? Didn't they never speak to each other when they met before? Why are they all supporting him now?
He even revealed all the bad things that happened between him and Chen Ling. Although it was in a misunderstood tone, it was still awkward, awkward, and uncomfortable to hear.
This made Chen Erzhu's face look hot. Fortunately, he hadn't been hanging out in vain all these years. He was smiling and speaking in a normal tone, so others didn't notice anything.
Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing.
Chen Ling smiled and said nothing when he saw this, and sneered twice in his heart. If others didn't know what was going on, how could he not know?
Of course he could sense Chen Erzhu's discomfort, but he was too lazy to argue with his grandson now, so he said hello calmly and drove the ox cart away.
After Chen Ling left, Chen Erzhu's mood gradually eased a lot. Otherwise, Chen Ling, who knew the inside story, would have said those words, which would have really embarrassed him.
But when he returned to the greenhouse construction site, he felt angry and annoyed again:
“It’s so fucking weird, the grass hasn’t grown well in that wasteland for more than ten years. Why did it get better after it was in the hands of this stupid boy?"
I couldn't help but make up my mind, I must go and take a look when no one is around.
Today I saw some great suggestions from everyone, and my mind was opened. It turns out that the wisdom of the masses is infinite. In addition, I would like to thank everyone for your rewards and monthly tickets, and bow to everyone...
