Chapter 203 Certificate
Actually, a few days ago, Liang Hongyu’s family also said they would come to help.
They will return to the capital in the twelfth lunar month and will not celebrate the New Year here this year. After all, most of their relatives and friends are there.
However, Liang Yuemin and his wife will stay this year and celebrate the New Year at his father-in-law’s family in the countryside.
They rushed back from the city at the end of the month. They had been busy in the city for more than two months and came back to rest and nothing happened.
So Chen Ling did not refuse.
After feeding the dog here, Wang Susu went home.
Chen Ling and Wang Lixian picked up shovels and leveled the ditches on the dirt road outside the village. They also placed some stones in some soft and easy-to-sink places and stepped on them to flatten them.
The dirt road is difficult to navigate, so it is easier for cars and tractors to pass.
The engineering team will arrive in four or five days. Make some preparations in advance so that you won’t be in a hurry.
Regarding this, Chen Ling has a deep understanding of this while transporting building materials.
From outside the orchard to the entrance of the village, the three of them were busy for most of the day.
Many people who have a good relationship with Chen Ling will also help him a little, dumping broken bricks, tiles and cinders from their homes on the road for him to pave the way.
Although you have good intentions, it is inevitable to ask questions.
Because they really couldn't figure out why Chen Ling had to do this in the ravine when everyone else broke their heads and walked out.
This farm is better built in the county than in the village.
Instead of building a greenhouse like Erzhu, how can this farm make money?
Anyway, this kid always thinks differently from others.
They didn’t dare to guess randomly.
After all, some people say that Chen Ling has made a lot of money this year. Who knows if he has some secrets that cannot be mentioned.
"First raise some chickens and ducks, grow some grain and vegetables, and we'll talk about the rest later. The place is big anyway."
No matter who asked, Chen Ling always answered like this.
Now that most of the villagers are kind to him, not to mention they step forward to help him a little, they can't remain silent and say nothing to others.
That’s all we can do for now.
It’s just that there are too many people asking. With tractors being used to transport building materials back and forth these days, who in the village doesn’t know that he has to toil in those 30 acres of land.
Chen Ling was inevitably asked impatiently.
But it feels different to some people.
For example, Wang Chunyuan just returned from the county seat.
Everywhere Chen Ling went, he saw people saying a few words or helping to shovel dirt to pave the way. Even though they were only a few steps away from their respective doors, it still made him jealous.
Looking at my own home, the house has also begun to be renovated, but no one in the village cares about it.
It was all thanks to his eldest brother running around to find people for him that he assembled a construction team of seven or eight people.
But he still had to do all the miscellaneous things by himself, and he had to go to the county town every day to buy things and come back to take care of the food.
“Damn it, I don’t know what this kid is capable of, why did he get mixed up this year.”
Wang Chunyuan glanced at Chen Ling and the others from a distance, then rode on his bike Drive down the dam.
On the way home, he cursed in his mind.
I thought it was no big deal, it was just that there was no one to help me build a house. If I could go back to the health center or even enter the county hospital in the future, these bastards would not want to ask him for help.
I feel a little better thinking about it this way.
But for some reason, my chest is still a little clogged.
"Fugui, go back with some rapeseed seedlings. You can eat them stir-fried or mixed with them."
The three of them finished shoveling the road home. When passing by Wang Jusheng's house, Zhang Qiaoling A large basket of rape seedlings was brought out to him.
At this time, winter wheat and rapeseed have emerged.
After the frost and dew in early winter, the rapeseed seedlings at this time taste much better than those planted in spring.
There will be less astringency and bitterness.
It is delicious when stir-fried, steamed or mixed with sesame oil.
In addition to cabbage, there are also radishes and potatoes in this season. It is not easy to eat some fresh green vegetables.
So Chen Ling hugged two big handfuls and said, "That's enough, sister-in-law, we still haven't finished the food in the vegetable cellar. I'll just take some back to try something new."
Zhang Qiaoling still shouted from behind: "More Take some, there are too many rapeseeds this year, and my family can’t eat all of them.”
It’s not the time of heavy snow, and there have been many sunny days in the past two months, so the rapeseeds are still here. They are so green that the morning and evening frosts and dews cannot harm them.
In January, when snow begins to fall on the mountains, the rapeseed will soon be frozen and withered, but the roots will not die and will still grow densely in the coming spring.
If the seedlings are dense, they will compete with each other for fertilizer. If the rape pods grow less, the harvest will be affected.
And harvesting is more laborious.
So, when women are idle at home, they will thin out seedlings so that they can have more green leafy vegetables on the table.
When Chen Ling returned home with two handfuls of rapeseed seedlings, No. 78 of Wang Chunyuan's family across the street was busy tinkling.
They have laid the foundation a few days ago and are now building the main house.
When Wang Chunyuan saw him coming over, he nodded with a smile, and then continued to work with his head down.
This guy is also quite weird.
No matter what, I didn’t break up with any family in the village.
But I just can’t get along with the villagers. Although I smile on the surface, I can’t get close to them.
This is true even if there is no grudge or grudge.
If you think about it carefully, what Wang Susu said is quite right. The couple in this family really have high eyebrows. They always feel that they are very capable, and they look down on farmers like them from the bottom of their hearts.
"You look down on others, and others look down on you. Just don't mess with us."
Chen Ling also smiled back at Wang Chunyuan, and then walked into the yard.
"Back."
"Well, what are you busy with? You don't want to take a break?"
Wang Susu was sitting under the eaves, making medicine.
Chen Ling put down the shovel and walked over to take a look. It was just a few ordinary herbs.
"Sister Xiaoyun's grandma is old. She has been lying in bed for half a year and always gets bedsores. She came over this morning and asked me to help prepare some medicine..."
"Here, money. It’s all there, I don’t want it, I insist on giving it.”
Wang Susu felt embarrassed about accepting money from an acquaintance.
After all, this herb is actually not worth even a few cents.
"You accept them if they are given to you. Call them over one day and I will cook a meal for you. That's all."
Chen Ling walked to the side to wash her hands, then moved a lounge chair. Sit down next to her.
"For people like us, it is inevitable that we will meet acquaintances, and they will be familiar with each other, and each code will be the same."
"You must never accept money, and you will be punished if you meet a shameless person. Tian came to see you for medical treatment, and it was up to you to cure him. What should you do? "
"So I will charge you the money. I have a good relationship with you and can understand you. If it is because of this little thing, I won't. I’m happy, I don’t need to be too close to you in the future.”
Wang Susu actually understands everything.
She is just too thin-skinned and too soft-hearted.
Just like when she met two old classmates in Fenglei Town, some of the words of those two women were very unpleasant, and she was unwilling to refute them for fear of hurting her feelings.
But there is one good thing about her, that is, she listens to Chen Ling.
Treat Chen Ling, your husband, as your backbone.
Now when Chen Ling said this, she laughed, "Okay, I will know what to do in the future."
"Sister Qiumei said that the next time we go to the hospital for a check-up, she will take me there Apply for a self-employed medical certificate, and I will really be a doctor from now on.”
This time she went back to her parents’ home and found the old medical books left by her grandfather and brought them back.
These days, she is reading books and doing some chores at home every day. When people come to see her for minor illnesses, she feels much more confident than before.
"How about I put up a sign for you and write it as Wang Susu Clinic?"
"No, don't use my name, it sounds weird."
"Then use mine? Fugui Clinic? That doesn't match."
Chen Ling frowned, this name sounds weird It looks like a nightclub.
"Forget it, I won't name it for now. I'm going to sell some salty cakes. Didn't you say they were delicious last time? Sister-in-law Qiaoling just gave me some rapeseed seedlings. Let's make them again tonight."
"Okay, I'll choose some food for you."
Salty pancakes, also called dumplings, are eaten in most areas north of the Yellow River. They are similar to the persimmon buns and sweet potato buns here.
When making it, you don’t need to dip your hands in flour. Mix some batter with warm water, beat in the eggs, and add some green cabbage leaves, leeks, spinach, all kinds of wild vegetables, or other vegetables, according to your own taste. Just do it.
Chen Ling mixed the batter in a porcelain basin and broke in a few eggs. Wang Susu helped him wash and choose vegetables.
After selecting, cut the rapeseed seedlings, put them in and stir evenly.
When the pan is hot, use a sorghum brush to brush a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pan, then scoop a spoonful of batter into the porcelain basin and spread it into a pancake shape with a spatula.
Then I flipped it back and forth several times with a spatula, and in less than two minutes, a piece of browned egg salty pancake came out of the pan. After the bottom of the pot was completely heated, Chen Ling spread the pancakes faster.
Basically, one sheet takes thirty to forty seconds. In less than ten minutes, the batter in the porcelain basin has bottomed out, and there are more than a dozen fragrant sheets in the bamboo sieve. Savory cakes.
After baking the salty cakes, pound some garlic, mix some chili oil and vinegar with the garlic juice, and you can eat it as a dip.
Wang Susu eats less spicy food now, so she dips the dish in vinegar, while Chen Ling dips both dishes.
Sitting at the kitchen table, the two of them picked up a piece of hot salty pancake with chopsticks and dipped it into the dish. The taste was soft and chewy, and the rich garlic juice mixed with the sourness of vinegar and the spiciness of chili pepper. People have a great appetite.
Wang Susu ate four of them in one go.
This stuff is soft and smooth, suitable for women and children to eat, and it is paired with garlic, vinegar and chili pepper, so you won’t get tired of it after eating more.
After a simple meal like this, I heated up two bowls of leftover pimple soup from noon, and dinner was done.
It’s almost six o’clock after dinner, and it’s getting dark.
The young couple picked up a bucket of leftovers and took a flashlight to feed the dogs in the orchard outside the village.
After crossing two steep slopes on the dirt road in the field, the two heard a dog barking in the distance. When the flashlight was lit, two figures, one black and one yellow, rushed over from a distance. , and then gradually slowed down when they arrived, humming and whining, their tails wagging like two windmills.
Wang Susu reached out and patted the two guys on the head, waving to them: "Let's go, let's eat."
Hei Wa and Xiao Jin were extremely smart and seemed to know Wang Susu's No matter what the condition of her body was, she immediately stopped having fun and became light-footed, following Wang Susu with small steps.
Not to mention Wang Susu, Chen Ling was a little surprised by such a performance.
Most of the time, he regarded the two dogs as playful children. They learned things quickly and were good at protecting the family and hunting, but he never expected that they would have such a sensible side.
For a while, I felt so relieved.
Wang Susu was also happy to hold the two dogs and pet them.
After playing around for a while, the light of the flashlight of the little wife suddenly stopped: "Aling, look, there are so many birds on the Internet!"
Chen Ling looked over according to the light of the flashlight and saw sticky There seemed to be pieces of fallen leaves, large and small, hanging on the bird net.
They were all birds with their wings spread and entangled in the net.
Three sides of the net, not one of them fails.
"...It's a pity that there are still no wild pigeons caught in the net."
Chen Ling took a look and saw that there were doves and magpies on the net, but there were no wild pigeons.
Then he stepped forward, untied the bird from the net, and asked Heiwa to bring the chicken coop in the straw shed.
Bamboo chicken coops have small gaps, so they can be used to house birds.
Then a cage full of sparrows, doves, magpies and skylarks was placed.
These are all birds that eat crops and fruits.
The remaining ones with sharp mouths and mainly eating insects were let go.
As for the injured and half-dead bird on the Internet, it was thrown to two dogs.
"Let's keep the two doves for now, and save a few more to make smoked doves together."
Of course Wang Susu has no objection, "Okay, but can't these doves be raised as pigeons?"
< br>"You can raise them, but they are too stupid. Let's raise them as meat pigeons. They will not grow fast."
Chen Ling shook his head. He wanted to raise some smart wild pigeons as carrier pigeons and racing pigeons. Still had a good meal.
And raising them in winter is a waste of food.
"Okay, let's make braised pigeons and eat them."
Wang Susu stretched out her finger and tapped the pigeon's mouth from the gap in the cage, causing it to flap its wings.
……
After feeding the dog, the two walked home.
After not sleeping at home for several nights, Chen Ling planned to go back to sleep today.
When they got home, the two of them prepared to boil water and take a hot bath.
Chen Ling, who had just poured tea at the table, suddenly let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Wang Susu was making the bed and looked over when she heard the sound.
"I always feel as if I have forgotten something."
"Forgot what? Didn't feed the cows? Or didn't feed the sheep?" Wang Susu asked.
"Feed it. Haven't the cows and sheep been fed in the afternoon?"
Chen Ling scratched his head, not remembering what he had forgotten.
“Oops!” He suddenly slapped his thigh, “I forgot to bring Zhenzhen back. Zhenzhen is still at Aunt Hongyu’s house, and she was still talking about it during lunch. Did she forget to bring her back? She picked it up."
"Ah? Yes, the next two days are weekends."
Wang Susu was also stunned, and then she couldn't laugh or cry. How could she forget about it.
I was busy at home these days, so I couldn't take care of picking up Wang Zhenzhen, so I asked her to go to Liang Hongyu's place after school. The old lady liked her very much and had already let her stay for a few days.
Wang Zhenzhen has nothing to do with it, but the condition is that she will be brought back on Saturdays and Sundays. After all, there is no fun place in the village in the county.
She also couldn’t let go of her sister.
The two of them were talking like this.
Chen Ling heard a cry with alarming decibels coming from the village, and the sound got closer and closer.
"It's true, who sent her back?"
Wang Susu hurried out.
Chen Ling also walked out quickly.
......
"Don't cry, I haven't forgotten you. I was telling your sister that I will pick you up later."
When they arrived at the house, Chen Ling was still coaxing the little girl. Behind him were Wang Susu and Qin Qiumei, who was wrapped thickly in a cotton hat and scarf.
"You're lying! You turned on two lights. You must be going to sleep. You just forgot about me."
Wang Zhenzhen pursed his lips and said angrily, "Little There were still tears on his face.
Chen Ling likes to read for a while before going to bed. She thinks one light is too dark, so she turns on two lights every time. She knows this.
"Okay, okay, how could we forget you? Look, it's so dark outside, and I asked your sister Qiumei to take you back. How dangerous the road is."
< br>
Chen Ling tried his best to coax and quietly changed the topic.
After he finished speaking, Qin Qiumei took off her scarf and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen got the first place in the midterm exam this time. I have been waiting for you to pick her up. I want you two to know earlier. The result will be waiting for you." You haven’t been there for a long time.”
“Aunt Hongyu saw that she was about to cry, so she wanted to send her back, but the two old people were too old to walk on the mountain road in the dark. I was just right. I wanted to come over to Dongmei, so I took her with me."
"But something happened on the way and I was delayed for a while. It was getting dark halfway through."
Hearing this. Chen Ling and Wang Susu were both embarrassed. After thanking Qin Qiumei again, they turned their attention to the little girl.
"Zhenzhen got the first place in the exam. Here is the certificate. Show it to your sister quickly."
"Huh."
Wang Zhenzhen pouted her little mouth, still angry, and snorted. He shouted, went to his school bag and took out a certificate of award.
This certificate of merit is neatly pressed with a book, without any damage at any corner.
First she handed it to her sister.
Wang Susu was immediately overjoyed, looking over and over again, "Ah, I really got the first place in the exam."
Then she handed it to Chen Ling to see.
"It's really awesome. We will all enjoy the blessings with you when we get into college."
"Yes, when my sister gives birth to your little nephews and nieces, it all depends on you to teach her well." They are.”
The little girl calmed down after just praising and coaxing her.
After drinking two cups of hot water later, Wang Susu took her to wash up and go to bed.
Then he went back to the main room to sit down, made tea, and sat and talked with Qin Qiumei.
"Dongmei's side just now..."
"Oh, she has had this temper since she was a child, Susu, don't take it to heart."
Qin Qiumei was a little apologetic. said.
Just now she sent Wang Zhenzhen back, but Qin Dongmei saw it. Knowing that this was Wang Susu's sister, she pouted hard at the two of them, turned around and went into the house and ignored her sister.
"I'm fine. Sister Qiumei, don't you want to go to Dongmei's place to have a look?"
"Oh, she probably won't let me in. I didn't do the same last time. Let me tell you, in the past six months, my mother has been getting angry with me, blaming me for not helping her with this or that..."
Qin Qiumei sighed repeatedly, her once fair and smooth face was all gone. A lot more gloomy and haggard.
Seeing this, Wang Susu hurriedly comforted her. For a while, the two women had endless things to say.
Chen Ling looked at the time. It wasn't too late now, it was just past eight-thirty. However, it gets dark early in the mountains in winter, and it was so dark outside that there was no one around.
Let Qin Qiumei stay and sleep with Su Su, and he continued to look at the building materials outside the village.
Unfortunately, he originally wanted to be gentle with his wife tonight, but that was no longer possible.
