Chapter 71 Rare Guests
Maybe red eels are too rare.
This matter spread quickly in Chenwangzhuang.
Men, women and children in the village come to Chen Ling's house to watch when they have free time, not to mention the little children, who stay there almost all day.
Liu Nier and the others also come every day after school.
Adults, children, and the little daughter-in-law holding a milk baby all came to see Chen Ling's house. Many of them caught earthworms and insects and fed them into the eel tank.
It made Chen Ling very annoyed, but they were all from the same village, so they couldn't drive people away openly.
I could only mutter in my heart unhappily: "Aren't they just two red eels, so exaggerated?"
He thought it was quite normal, but others didn't think so.
The main reason is that information is far less developed than in later generations. The Internet has spread to every household, and you can learn about the world without leaving home.
Everyone spends time online every day, whether domestic or foreign, what weird species have you not seen?
But it was different in this small mountain village in 1995. Just two red eels could surprise people and be regarded as big news.
Many people not only come to see the strange thing, most of them will also say: "It's really a big red eel, and I'm here to feel happy."
Well, it's not bad. Consider it auspicious.
But no matter what, the two red eels grew up day by day. After half a month, they were more than 20 centimeters long and strong.
Although this was due to Chen Ling's habit of adding some water from Dongtian Creek at the beginning, it also had to do with the earthworms and various insects fed by the villagers.
This is extremely unreasonable. How could an eel grow so big in just half a month?
But I couldn’t stand the fact that it grew up in full view of people and was fed every day. No one found it strange.
The most I can say is that these red eels are different from ordinary eels. They eat more and grow faster. Chen Ling was really lucky to catch two eels like this.
Chen Ling was quite speechless when he heard these words. Who the hell could he ask to reason with this?
I dare to hide it carefully by myself, but why not let them watch it openly, or even participate in it personally?
But this is just a thought.
These two red eels were purely accidental, and other things on his body cannot be exposed.
But it’s not an option to have so many people coming to the house all day long. As a result, the two yellow men are afraid to show up during the day these days.
Chen Ling even thought about whether he should go to the county town to sell vegetables and 'process' these two eels.
But before I had time to go, two special guests came to my home this morning.
"Fugui, you kid is going to get rich."
The man shouted at him as soon as he entered the door.
It was actually Chen Erzhu.
Behind him was a beautiful woman dressed in a fashionable style. It was his sweetheart who drove a freight station in the county, Sun Yanhong.
It's really strange for these two people to come to my door.
"Hey, Erzhu, Sister Hong, you are a rare visitor."
Chen Ling stood up and greeted with a smile: "Sister Hong hasn't been to my house yet, come in and sit down, I'll pour some for you Water.”
“What kind of water are you drinking? Your sister Shui Hong can’t drink it. Let’s get down to business!”
Chen Erzhu said impatiently.
This attitude is not a good one. Perhaps he has become too deeply attached to Chen Lingchen recently, and his impatience has been revealed accidentally.
“What’s the business?”
“Oh yes, Erzhu, you just said that I was going to get rich. Could it be that you have arranged for me to enter the sand quarry?”
A happy look appeared on Chen Ling's face: "The old Liangtou who was in charge of the sand mining boat is gone?" These words made Chen Erzhu choke up. Unexpectedly, this boy still remembered this.
He said with a dark face: "You have planted so many fruit trees, why are you going to the sand quarry? Are you busy enough?"
"Stop talking nonsense, where are your two red eels? Sister Hong wants to see them. "
At this point, he may have realized that his attitude this time was a bit bad, so he added: "If you can satisfy Sister Hong, I will treat you to dinner."
"What? It turns out that Sister Hong also came to see the eels. I thought Erzhu arranged for me to enter the sand quarry because of your relationship."
Chen Ling felt quite regretful when he heard this. He smacked his lips and said to Sun Yanhong: "Let's go, Sister Hong. If we want to see the eels, we have to go to the backyard. The eels are in the backyard."
At this time, Sun Yanhong was looking in the direction of the main room. When she heard Chen Ling's words, she turned around and said in a sour tone: "Little rich man, you are not honest. You don't keep such a beautiful daughter-in-law at home, and you still Even if you are fooling around outside, you are not afraid of a wolf in the house."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the main room, and besides being amazed, there was also a hint of jealousy.
Chen Ling looked back and saw Wang Susu opening a corner of the door curtain, revealing a face that was still very pretty even without makeup. She stood at the door and looked here. Apparently she heard Er Zhu's voice. , a little worried.
So he waved his hand at her: "Go back to the house quickly, it's none of your business."
Wang Susu lowered the curtain without saying a word and disappeared in front of the door.
When Sun Yanhong saw this, she couldn't help but raise her brows, turned to Chen Ling and said, "I really didn't see it, little Fugui, you are quite easy to talk at home."
"Look at what Sister Hong said, if a man If you can't make the decision in front of a woman, and you can't stand upright, then what kind of man is he? He looks like a coward."
Chen Ling said matter-of-factly.
This made Chen Erzhu’s face darken even more: “Okay, okay, hurry up and take us to your backyard to see the eels, Sister Hong has a lot to do.”
So. Chen Ling took the two of them to the backyard.
As soon as she entered the door, Sun Yanhong was startled by a big white head sticking out of the window of the west wing.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Hong, this is a cow raised by the family. These days, many people from the village come to the house to see the red eel, so they keep it inside, otherwise they are afraid of hurting people."
< br>Chen Ling pushed away the big head of the little white cow and explained.
The little white cow at home has also grown up a lot during this time. The little horns on its head that originally only protruded a little have now grown to a palm length, and gradually become curved and curved. .
Moreover, Chen Ling often feeds her with cave vegetables and stream water. The little white cow is also very intelligent. It can now understand some relatively simple words.
And he is also a special protector of the family, even more protective than Hei Wa and Xiao Jin. Except for Chen Ling and Wang Susu, no one else can take away the things in the yard, otherwise no one will be able to withstand the sourness once it comes.
Liu Nier looks familiar, she is still a little baby, but two days ago she took an old fence from the backyard and wanted to catch tadpoles in the weir pond to feed the eels, which made the little white cow anxious. .
Puffing heavily, she almost broke the rope, but Liu Nier was so frightened that she quickly put down the fence.
Later, when we entered the backyard, we all walked around the little white cow.
Chen Ling had no choice but to lock it in the west wing for fear of hurting the little ones.
This little white cow has a typical little woman's temperament. Although it is usually introverted and shy, it is extremely stingy. Once it gets angry, it can be scary.
Chen Erzhu and Sun Yanhong didn't know the inside story. They didn't pay much attention to Chen Ling's words and went straight to the small water tank where the eels were raised.
Sun Yanhong fell in love with her after just two glances.
Even Chen Erzhu's dark complexion looks much better.
"Fugui, you kid is really lucky. Big red eels like this are so rare. You wouldn't expect to encounter them without a certain amount of luck."
Sun Yanhong was more direct and said to Chen Ling: "Little Fugui, I will give you five hundred yuan for each of these two red eels. How about you sell them to me?"
I will save the manuscript in two days. , adjust it, and strive to guarantee a minimum of two chapters every day. The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are coming soon. I hope my work can let me take a breath and update you more...
