Chapter 64 Han Chuang
Afternoon.
When it was almost two o'clock, Chen Ling planted the saplings.
Put down the hoe, patted the dust on his hands, and was about to urinate. The little white cow that was grazing on the side suddenly screamed "moo" and ran over and hid behind him. A pair of black cows The bull's eye stared in the direction of the cemetery with nervousness and fear.
“You are so brave, you are just like a girl, you can be so scared in broad daylight.”
When Chen Ling saw it like this, he couldn't help but smile. He reached out and touched its head and looked over there.
I saw the bushes in the cemetery swaying gently, and a gray figure flashed among them. Chen Ling didn't see it clearly. He only felt that the size was about the same as that of a native dog.
“What is this?”
Chen Ling frowned, stood on tiptoe and looked around, but in the blink of an eye, he was no longer visible.
When I was confused, I walked into the cemetery and looked around, but couldn't find it.
I don’t know where that thing was hiding, it slipped away really fast.
But when walking outside, Chen Ling found a big hole next to a grave. There was a little gray hair near the hole, with a rough texture.
Chen Ling pinched two hairs and looked at them. He couldn't identify the hairs on any living thing.
But it’s definitely not a rabbit that can scare the little white cow so much.
“Forget it, forget it for now, go home and eat.”
Chen Ling suppressed his doubts in his heart, walked out of the cemetery, hitched the ox cart, and hurried home.
Half way there, I met Wang Laishun trimming rape seedlings in the field.
His rapeseed was planted late this year, and the land was redistributed, so there was less management.
No, after a few rains, the rapeseed seedlings became so dense that they grew into lumps. Each one was still very thin, so they had to be thinned out in the field.
Seeing Chen Ling driving an ox cart, he stopped him and gave him two large bundles before letting him go.
This made Chen Ling feel helpless.
I couldn’t finish my own food, and even stuffed it into my car.
Forget it, just treat it as fresh.
When used for stir-frying, rapeseed sprouts are almost the same as young cabbage, and the taste is pretty good.
Chen Ling often ate it when he was a child.
When I was in college in my previous life, I learned a skill from my classmates in the north. I used rapeseed sprouts to make salty food, and paired it with minced garlic and vinegar. It was even more delicious than stir-fried vegetables.
Chen Ling fell in love with it after eating it once.
"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten salty food for a long time, so I have to make a meal to try when I get back."
He thought in his heart.
When I got home, the floor clock in the house rang "dingdang" at exactly two o'clock.
Wang Susu was spinning in the yard. Seeing him coming back so late, she asked about the saplings. After learning that he had taken the saplings to the field to plant them alone, she looked at him steadily for a while, as if she didn't expect him to be so Great energy.
Then he sighed with some melancholy:
“Aling, after planting the saplings, let’s stop for a while, okay.”
Say this. When speaking, Wang Susu's tone was a bit pleading.
It seemed like I was back to the time when I was facing Chen Ling.
It is true that in the past two months, Chen Ling has changed a lot in some aspects. For example, his temper has improved, he no longer dislikes her, and he is more gentle and considerate to her. This is what she wants to see.
But in some aspects, it is no different from before. For example, I am still lazy at heart, love to enjoy, eat and drink, and I still spend money lavishly, which is no different from before.
It just changed from spending money to hang out in the county town to spending money to buy some other things.
Buying a plow, a cow, and a fruit sapling is not a small amount of money...
Although she has no objection, it will take at least two years for the fruit trees to bear fruit after they are planted. , it is still unknown whether it can be sold for money and whether it will be sold well or not.
There is no source of income. If you continue to spend money like this, your family will be wiped out in a few days.
So, she had been worried recently, but she was afraid that Chen Ling would be angry if she brought it up rashly, so she endured it until now and finally couldn't help but ask.
Chen Ling was slightly stunned after hearing this, but then he understood and nodded: "Okay, let's stop after we finish planting."
He knew why Wang Susu suddenly acted like this explain.
In order not to make Wang Susu suspicious, he had taken the money for the fruit saplings from home and paid a deposit for the medicinal materials.
The family's money was suddenly reduced by almost half.
With Wang Susu's temperament, even if she keeps it in her heart and doesn't say it, she will definitely worry about this.
This is human nature.
However, he cannot tell Wang Susu about his current source of income yet. He can just let her accept it slowly in the future when the store in the county town opens.
Of course he agreed directly.
Seeing that he agreed, Wang Susu breathed a small sigh of relief, looked at him carefully, and saw that there was no sign of bad looks on his face, she stood up and said: "Aling, go wash your hands, the rice has been heating on the stove. , I’ll bring it over.”
Chen Ling then remembered that he hadn’t eaten lunch.
I hurriedly said hello and went to wash my hands and change clothes.
After eating, Chen Ling bathed in the warm spring sun, smelled the fragrance of the vegetation in the breeze, and read a book in the yard.
Perhaps it was too comfortable, and after a while, I fell asleep in the yard.
Wang Susu was spinning thread on the side. When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile softly.
I couldn't help but sigh again in my heart. Although Aling was getting better and better towards her, the laziness in his bones could not be worn away no matter what.
But being lazy to cook is not all bad. At least she didn't know before that once Chen Ling started cooking, it would be so delicious.
When Chen Ling fell asleep, he didn't know that Wang Susu would regard some of his characteristics from later generations as his past bad habits.
It is true that people from an era of abundant material resources have a normal style that makes people of this era look like they are lazy and lazy.
No matter what the future generations will do, they will never compromise themselves in terms of food and drink. They can come up with new ways to eat even if they don’t have money. People can do it without money, but they can’t let their mouths suffer from poverty.
If this were not the case, outsiders would not be able to intuitively feel the changes in him during this period, and Wang Susu might become suspicious.
Unknowingly, the day passed like this.
……
The first day of the fourth lunar month is Sunday.
Chen Ling and his wife had planted all 1,200 fruit saplings two days ago.
After that, under the pretext of preventing pests and diseases, Chen Ling carried a sprayer and sprayed the diluted Dongtian Creek water back and forth in the field twice.
Within a short time, these fruit saplings sprouted buds.
Seeing this, Chen Ling stopped caring and drove an ox cart to the county seat early that morning.
Go and deliver peanuts to the oil shop owner we made an appointment with last week.
After arriving at the county seat, not only did he receive two thousand catties as a gift, but Liu Xingeng also gave two thousand catties as a gift.
After eight trips back and forth, I got more than 4,000 yuan.
It was just after noon, and Chen Ling found a nearby restaurant and had a meal.
After filling his stomach, he was about to return to the newly rented yard in the south of the city when a loud voice came from beside him.
"Lingzi!"
Looking around, a tall and strong young man was jumping over from a street stall holding a bowl of sea food.
This guy was slurping the braised noodles in the bowl as he ran. He ran a dozen steps closer, but he didn't spill a drop of soup.
“I haven’t seen you in two months, where have you been?”
The man’s name is Han Chuang, a tall man of 1.9 meters tall, dark and strong. A frequent visitor to the game room and video room, he is very familiar with Chen Ling.
"Why, what, why did you catch up with the bullock cart? I didn't dare to recognize him at first glance..."
Han Chuang has a problem. He stutters when he speaks in a hurry.
"Long time no see, Chuangzi, I came to the city to do something."
Chen Ling patted his thick arm and asked with a smile: "What are you doing here? ”
“Hey, come over and watch the video tape for a while.”
Han Chuang winked at him and smiled like a man.
While talking, all the noodles in the Haiwan bowl were eaten, so he wiped the corners of his mouth twice and placed the bowl on the long table of the stall.
"I'll go to the Cultural Palace in a moment. I recently learned a big trick. Let's practice..."
The Workers' Cultural Palace in the south of the city is mainly a drama theater.
But on the outside floor, there are also cabinet arcade machines and billiard halls.
As a popular game console in recent years, it is the entertainment first choice for primary school students and young men.
Because you can hold ten game coins for one dollar and play for a long time, this thing quickly became popular. Chen Ling was so obsessed with this thing before that he would not stop playing until dark.
"Let's wait for another day. I have something to do today, so I won't play. But I also want to go to the south of the city, and I can take you there on the way."
Chen Ling waved to drive the cattle. Whip, said.
After being baptized by the online games of later generations, Chen Ling has no interest in current game consoles.
If you have nothing to do, it would be fine to reminisce about the past.
The key point is to clean up the small courtyard in the south of the city today. If you have serious things to do, forget it.
