Chapter 223 The Farm is Completed
Besides taking pregnancy tests, meeting friends, and attending temple fairs, Chen Ling is basically busy weeding in the fields, spraying medicine, tending to watermelons, and opening canals and streams. It is ordinary, unhurried, and he enjoys it. in it.
In this way, another half month passed quickly, and by the end of the third lunar month, the farm was completed as scheduled.
Chen Ling took people to check carefully twice. There were no problems with the construction of bamboo buildings, wooden buildings, corridors, etc. In this case, he was not ambiguous. After settling the wages on the spot, he asked The members of the engineering team had a lively drink and saw them off the next day.
Next, he did not rush to move to the farm, but went to inform all his friends that the farm at home was completed. When he was free, he could come and play for two days. The rooms in the farm There are a lot of them, so it’s no problem for the whole family to come and play.
This was mainly informed by phone calls with friends such as Zhao Dahai, Shanmao, and Liang Yuemin. They had told Chen Ling in advance that when Chen Ling built the farm, remember to tell them that they would come to support him. Zhao Dahai was always clamoring for him to have sex with his sister. Come and sing.
Shan Mao also said that after his farm is completed, he will bring Du Juan over to play for a few days.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, and Chen Ling couldn't help but take it to heart, so he notified them all. Anyway, his wife was going to give birth to a baby in two months, and he had no time to be busy except messing around in the farm. Besides, there is plenty of time to receive them.
After calling these people, Zhao Dahai and Shanmao discussed with each other and said that they would have time to come over in the next few days on April 9th, which happened to be Saturday and Sunday. Chen Ling called Liang Yuemin and asked if he was okay. Liang Yuemin returned to Beijing with his wife and children two months ago to finish his work, and is now in the city. In this case, Chen Ling set the date for the ninth day of April and asked them all to come over and have a fun time together.
But before that, Chen Ling cleaned up the remaining wood and bamboo from the farm's construction, piled it into firewood and piled it behind the farm's kitchen in preparation for the fire.
The house we live in is a two-story building made of bamboo and wood. This kind of building dissipates heat quickly, is ventilated and moisture-proof, and makes living cool and comfortable in summer and autumn. However, the disadvantage is that we are afraid of fire, so we built the kitchen on the farm. In the back, next to the kitchen, there are two large stone fireplaces, which Chen Ling used specifically for barbecue.
The back of the kitchen is used for stacking firewood.
After finishing the treatment here, he drove all the poultry from home to make room for the family.
In addition, he also transported all the livestock troughs that had not been used in the village for many years and placed them in various places in the orchard outside the farm.
There are chicken coops, duck pens, pigeon coops, sheep pens, cowsheds, etc. in the orchard. They are all built in a circle around the farm.
On this day, Wang Jusheng and Wang Lixian knew about it and came to help him.
Cattle and sheep are easy to manage. You can just stay at home for now. The key is poultry. Now plus the hatched chicks and ducks, there are hundreds of them. They can easily run around, so they are all put into cages and transported to the farm. .
Poultry are easily frightened. When the chickens, ducks and geese are put into cages, stacked high, and loaded onto the bullock cart, many chickens and ducks are so frightened that they flap their wings, trample on each other, bump into the cage, and feathers. It was flying around, clucking and screaming, and there was a lot of feces flying around.
One of the old hens also laid an egg, which slipped out of the chicken coop and hit Wang Jusheng on the head.
Zhang Qiaoling found the broken egg on the man's head, and quickly took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it, "It's okay, but don't get it in your eyes."
"It's okay, these eggs are delicious." Wang Jusheng didn't care, he smiled, hooked his tongue, hooked the dripping egg yolk into his mouth, and then smashed his mouth, having endless aftertaste.
“Eating randomly again.” Zhang Qiaoling glanced at him. Seeing Liu Yuzhi and others looking at her, she smiled sheepishly and continued to move to the bullock cart.
"Qiaoling, you and Jusheng should also build a shed. You see, the rich and the rich have built farms like this. Compared with this, building a shed is not expensive and it doesn't take up much space. We usually stay at home. Very easy to manage," Wang Lixian said with a smile.
He made a small fortune selling vegetables during this period. The winter mushrooms have already paid off for him, so he is very motivated now and is not going to work outside in the future. He is just going to figure out what to do at home. Grow a greenhouse.
At present, in the entire Lingyun, except for Lao Yang Yuer from Yangtougou, he is the one who is building the greenhouse. The one in Erzhu has made a mess, so let’s not mention it. Anyway, there are few people working on this thing now, so it can make a lot of money. When it comes to money.
"Brother Xian, why are you like Fugui now? Last year, Fugui thought Qiaoling's pickles were delicious, so he asked me to build a pickle processing factory. Now you are urging me to build a greenhouse. How can we get such tempers? These?" Wang Jusheng licked the egg liquid from the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
He and Zhang Qiaoling are both the kind of people who are not suitable for doing business. They can’t negotiate prices, have no patience in setting up stalls, and don’t know how to deal with strangers. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been together for so many years. Most of the villagers are not close to each other.
“This is a time when you can make money, so you really don’t have to worry about it.” Wang Lixian frowned and persuaded.
Zhang Qiaoling also knew that this was a good intention, "Brother Xian, my family is not qualified to do this. I am even stupider. I can only pickle pickles and nothing else."
She He was not an outgoing person either. Even Shanmao's unmarried daughter-in-law stayed at home because Zhao Dahai was familiar with Wang Jusheng, and she was the daughter-in-law of the branch secretary, so she entertained him.
"What's wrong? What are you talking about?" At this time, Chen Ling finished packing her things and came out with her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
“He wants to build a shed in Jusheng, but he won’t do it...” Wang Lixian raised his chin at the couple.
"Hey, if you don't want to do it, just do it. Anyway, judging from her face, Sister-in-law Qiaoling has the face to make a fortune. If she can't make this fortune, she will make other fortunes in the future. She can't just put money in her pocket when she sees it. , right?"
Chen Ling smiled happily at the two of them.
"Wealth means being obedient. A poor woman like me, who knows nothing but farming, has no chance of making a fortune." Zhang Qiaoling shook her head.
This is also the mentality of most mountain people at this time.
The pickled vegetables she makes are indeed delicious, and the hot sauce she makes is also very fragrant, but she has no intention of turning this into a business. She doesn’t even dare to think about it. She thinks it is just a pickled vegetable, which is terrible. Pickle pickles, can the pickle lumps be pickled into golden lumps?
Chen Ling knew this, so after mentioning it last year, he never said it again.
“It’s impossible to tell. When it’s time to get rich, money will be blown by the wind. Once you earn it, it will be like a sack. My fingers will have a headache when counting money, and my hands will cramp.”
< br>“Hey, you’re talking about yourself.”
"It seems that I must have earned a lot last year."
Everyone laughed.
Chen Ling also smiled, and then talked about the greenhouse matter and the trouble that Yang Tougou old Yang Yu'er caused when he bought horses at the Luo Horse Market a while ago.
"Old Yang Yu'er is so unlucky. He just built a greenhouse for two years and made money when he encountered this problem."
"Oh, then it's his fault that he doesn't do things well. To be honest, he deserves to be robbed of someone else’s horse.”
Several people were rushing to the farm, chatting lively on the road.
There was a lot of chatting, and the work didn't feel boring. The group of people got busy and quickly arranged the chickens, ducks, geese, and quails.
Chickens and ducks are nothing to worry about, the key is the quail. There are too many quails and they cannot be kept free-range, especially when the old quails at home are sold out. The young quails are not familiar with the chickens and ducks. They will not know how to follow the chickens and ducks home when they are released, and they often run away as soon as they are released. Er Jing. The farm is at the foot of the mountain, so we need to pay even more attention to this place.
So Chen Ling built a fence with blue bricks in the area where the quails were raised, just like a pig pen, and added a fence to enclose the area, and then simply built a quail nest inside. This way you don't have to worry about them getting lost.
As long as they eat enough and have sufficient nutrition, quails can lay eggs every day except in winter.
Of course, if you keep them in a greenhouse in winter, they can even lay eggs all year round.
But that would be too impersonal, so it would be more practical to take advantage of the festive atmosphere of the New Year and make some fried quail.
In the morning, I cleaned up the place where the poultry is raised, put the poultry in categories, and let them adapt to the environment first. After a while, after they are familiar with the environment, the chickens, ducks and geese can be released to free range. At that time, There is no need to go to a special place to feed every day. The dog helps to keep an eye on it. You can go around looking for food and just go back after dark.
After finishing this, they had a homely meal at Chen Ling's house at noon.
Gao Xiulan has already prepared lunch for lunch, so you can eat it when you get back.
During this free time, the old couple took the sheep out to graze them outside the village, and went to the farm to look at the poultry.
Even with the two dogs Heiwa and Xiaojin watching, they still felt uneasy.
This makes many villagers envious of Chen Ling, saying that this baby is really damn lucky.
I used to have a good father, but now I have a good wife and husband. How can such a bastard have such good luck?
Chen Ling didn't care what others said about him. It was always a good thing to have two old people taking care of him. He could also do what he wanted to do.
So the next day all the new furniture was moved to the farm.
After slowly cleaning up like this, Wang Jusheng and his family still came over to help from time to time.
Sometimes I stay to eat, sometimes I help finish the work and leave.
The main thing is that in the eyes of the villagers, the feeling of building a farm is different from building a house at home, and it is completely different from moving to a new home.
In short, there is no need for the villagers to specially invite people to celebrate. They are so close. Whenever they wander to the foot of Beishan, they go to Chen Ling's farm to have a rest and talk a few words. This is a common thing.
Poultry is being raised there now, and fish will be raised there in the future. No one has moved in yet.
Since Wang Susu’s delivery period is getting closer and closer, her family has no plans to move to the farm in the short term. It will not be too late to move there after the baby is born around June of the lunar calendar.
The farm has a large space, which is very suitable for displaying full moon wine.
This is also catching up.
So during this period, after the poultry was released, Chen Ling and his father-in-law took turns going to the farm to guard it. It was not far away, just outside the village, so there was no trouble.
Looking at the poultry growing up day by day, the old hens laying more eggs day by day, they can only be happy.
In this season, there is plenty of food in the mountains, wild animals rarely come down the mountain, and it is very peaceful at night, so there is no need to worry about this.
Besides, Wang Cunye is a medicinal farmer. He used to go to the mountains at night to collect medicinal materials. At that time, he found valuable medicinal materials and was afraid that others would follow them, so he would pick them in the middle of the night and early in the morning without fear at all. .
What's more, Heiwa Xiaojin is guarding here.
After the farm was built, the happiest ones were the two dogs at home. They stayed at the farm all day long, patrolling and running back and forth with the village dogs during the day. The place was big, so they could have fun as much as they could. Those on the mountain and below divide their territories everywhere.
The little yellow dog that Wang Cunye raised followed them all day long and became more and more wild. He was not raised as a hunting dog at first, but now he often catches small prey. This is the nature of the tiger head and yellow bones. Well, there is no other way, this kind of dog is like this, the more pure it is, the stronger its hunting instinct is.
Wang Cunye was both happy and a little worried.
Chen Ling comforted him twice before he felt relieved.
……
Time flies, and it's the ninth day of the fourth lunar month. At about ten or eleven o'clock in the morning, Liang Yuemin's family, as well as Shanmao and Zhao Dahai, arrived at Chenwangzhuang one after another.
After arriving, no one was empty-handed, they all brought supplements for Wang Susu.
Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan helped take it into their hands and looked at the beautifully wrapped gifts. Although they knew that their son-in-law was in trouble now and knew many capable people, they really thought they saw him driving a car. When the car came to the door with the gifts, I was still a little dizzy.
Standing in the yard, I didn’t know what to say to others, so I could only entertain them wholeheartedly.
“When will Susu be born?”
"It should be the end of June. I can't help it. I have little reaction, so I can only count the days with my fingers."
"You, I've heard about it a long time ago. Your body is really enviable. "
The mother-in-law and the dolls joked and played around Wang Susu for a while, and then Chen Ling took them to the farm. Many of them had seen the drawings of the farm before, and now they wanted to visit it. What will it look like once completed?
He walked out of the village in a lively manner.
After arriving at the orchard, the entrance is a tree-lined path paved with bluestones. Along the winding path, we walk through the lush orchard. After walking for about five minutes, we saw a bamboo forest and Two pavilions.
After crossing the bamboo forest, you will see a bamboo-wood gatehouse. On the south side of the gatehouse is a rectangular wooden board with a few lines of small characters written on it.
"Fugui Villa was built on the 1st day of the 11th lunar month in 1995 and completed on the 30th day of the 3rd lunar month in 1996..."
