Chapter 234 The Hard-to-Recite Sutra
"Uncle Fugui, Uncle Fugui, look, these are the baby birds I picked up in your orchard. Look at how many there are, there are more than a dozen." Six Nier was shirtless, wrapped a bunch of featherless baby birds in clothes, and ran to Chen Ling to ask for credit.
"I picked up so many. Let's feed them to the dogs." Chen Ling hugged his son and took a look. These baby birds all fell from the trees and would not survive.
It has rained intermittently in the past few days, and the wind is not light, which has caused disaster to the birds that have made their homes in the orchards. The young birds that have just hatched in the nest cannot withstand the wind. It rains, and every morning a layer of grass falls off in the orchard. You can see one within a few steps.
This is because the fruit trees in the orchard are still too small.
If it is a big tree with lush branches and thick trunks, it will definitely not be like this.
But these birds couldn't help but like the farm here. The water here, the flowers and trees here, the insects and fish here are all very tempting to them. Mountain birds and water birds swarmed in the vicinity to build nests and make their homes. Wang Cunye spent the whole day Even if the sky hits them with a slingshot, it won't work. I can't even drive them away.
There is no other way.
"What a waste of food it is to feed the dog. I picked up more than Liu Nier. Uncle Fugui, let Ruirui raise you. When he grows up, you can roast it for him." Pig The baby tied a bunch of naked baby birds with straw and came over and handed them to him.
Chen Ling couldn't laugh or cry: "Ruirui is still young and can't eat this. Besides, if your intestines are thrown out, I can't save you."
"Huh? Uncle, you can't even save me? Then forget it, let's feed them to the dogs."
The pig boy was immediately disappointed, and then a group of dolls went to the back of the farm to feed the dogs.
After the farm was built, these little bears often came over to play. One reason is that it is much cooler and more fun here, and the other reason is that parents don’t scold them when they know they come here. After all, there are always people here at the farm. It's better than having fun somewhere else where no one is around.
"Little aunt, have you finished writing the paper? Let's play skipping."
"Wait a minute, I only have two questions left."
Listening to the shouts of the little children, Chen Ling carried her son to observe in the channel where the salmon was.
These fish are much bigger than when they were first caught from the mountain. They are almost twenty centimeters now, but they are still too thin and look like they have no meat.
Chen Ling untied the barbed wire, entered the water with one hand and caught one. The fish was slippery and flopped vigorously in his hand, quite vigorously.
"You have to work hard. The salmon in the cave have already reproduced, and you haven't done anything at all."
Chen Ling muttered, put down the barbed wire, and continued to hold his son along the river. Wandering along the canal.
After the rain, the water channels are clear and green, and groups of fish are swimming back and forth on the water. From time to time, birds come to drink water, which scares the fish away.
Nowadays, fish are getting bigger and bigger. Except for water birds, other birds can no longer eat fish.
But this is not a big problem.
There is no shortage of food in the orchard, especially when Chen Ling pours a few buckets of spiritual water at the source of the canal every two days. After dilution, it naturally flows along the canal to various places in the orchard, making the food in the forest even more delicious. The weeds grew wildly, and even the weeds, grasshoppers, and old poles were huge. Even earthworms, which are usually hard to find, crawled all over the ground after the rain. They were black and long, being pecked by various birds. , how can the birds be willing to leave such delicacies?
Although many baby birds died in the wind and rain, judging from the environment near the farm, if they reproduce, they will be much better than in other places, and they will reproduce faster.
Chen Ling still wanted to go for a walk, but his son cried "Wow!" and felt that the diaper was dry.
"Rui Rui is hungry, right? Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't cry yet, let's go find your mother."
I don't know whether it was the voice that attracted my attention or the What's wrong, when Chen Ling said this, the little guy really stopped crying.
But it only lasted for a short moment, and then he grinned and started crying again.
"Hey, why are you crying again? Ruirui, you are in a hurry to eat, right? OK, we are here now."
Chen Ling walked upstairs while talking to the little guy in his arms. Not to mention, as soon as Chen Ling spoke, his crying immediately stopped, as if he was really attracted.
The little baby who is more than 20 days old will definitely not really understand speech, but this performance is enough to make Chen Ling happy.
"What's wrong? Have you peed or are you hungry?" Gao Xiulan saw him hurriedly walking upstairs.
“I’m hungry and I’m anxious to feed myself.”
Chen Ling walked into the room with a smile and put her son into Wang Susu’s arms.
At this time, the little guy immediately narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and drank a gulp. After drinking, he didn't stop for a moment and continued to sleep.
"I'll carry Ruirui out for a while, and you can rest a little longer."
Chen Ling smiled at his wife, then gently picked up his son and walked out.
It will be one month old in a few days, and the child can be taken out for a short time and walked around for a few times. Wang Susu naturally knows what her husband is thinking, so she wrinkles her little nose at him and lies back on the bed to rest.
In the first few days, she always wanted to get out of bed. Recently, her son was getting older, drinking milk more and more frequently, and crying more and more, which made her feel a little physically and mentally exhausted. , now also take a rest as soon as you have time, otherwise if the weather gets hotter, you will not be able to muster the energy to take care of the baby.
"I just finished feeding, please be careful not to let Ruirui catch a cold due to the wind." Gao Xiulan frowned and reminded him when she saw him holding her grandson back and forth.
"I got it, Mom, the little quilt is tightly wrapped, and I won't go far." Chen Ling happily held her son in her arms, Rui Rui's soft little body exuded a light milk fragrance. , take a gentle sniff, he is so beautiful as a father.
......
"Fugui, have you told your aunt about the baby at home?"
In the afternoon, Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng brought some The tables, chairs and benches will be used for the full moon reception in a few days. Several families in the village came together and after bringing them over, they placed them in the corridor beside the lotus pond.
"As I said, the letter has been sent a long time ago." Chen Ling took them into the bamboo building. The first floor of the bamboo building in the north is used as a living room. After entering, he poured water and washed a few peaches, and the three of them sat down. say.
As for aunt Chen Junying, everyone who is close to her in the village knows that it is difficult to come back after getting married, and after Chen Ling's father died, she never came back for the New Year and the holidays.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. No matter how close the relationship is, the relationship will be weak if there is no contact.
But as a junior, Chen Ling definitely doesn’t blame his elders. With a new baby in the family, he definitely can’t not say hello.
Considering that his aunt was really far away and it was difficult to walk, he sent the letter several months in advance, three letters in a row.
There was one letter for the news that the daughter-in-law was pregnant, one for when the daughter-in-law was admitted to the hospital, and one for the birth of the baby.
Anyway, as juniors, we can’t let outsiders say something bad about us.
After all, my uncle is quite petty, and my aunt has no opinion on everything. If he really doesn’t inform me, I don’t know what to say to him.
"That's okay."
Wang Lixian nodded.
Then Wang Jusheng also asked: "Fugui, if you serve the full moon wine to the baby this time, there must be a lot of people calling for it." My uncle, my second uncle, and my two brothers are also coming." Chen Ling thought for a while and said, "They are still farther away than each other. When they told me, they were worried about the weather and said they would arrive early, that's all. It’s been two days.”
“In this case, you have to find someone to cook. It’s a great event for your family to have a new baby. Don’t go around the stove this time. Transferred."
At this point, he chuckled: "My eldest brother Jukun asked me to ask if you are short of manpower. If so, he will come to help you with his knowledge."
Two days ago, Chen Ling went to vaccinate their chickens and ducks, but they didn't charge for it. They were still upset, so they asked Wang Jusheng to ask.
"Xuecheng is back too? Okay, then I will go to their door tomorrow and tell them that Brother Jukun and his son will come with Brother Maodan."
When Chen Ling heard this I knew what was going on, but he and Wang Xuecheng have been classmates for many years. They came to help when the house was built last year and have resumed contact. It's just that this kid often works outside and is not often in the village.
As for Wang Xuecheng's father, Wang Jukun, he is Cui Laizi's brother-in-law and the eldest son of Wang Laishun's eldest brother's family. This old man and Mao Dan in the southwest corner of the village are the cooks of Chen Wangzhuang. As long as there are weddings and funerals in the village, If there is full moon wine and other things, they will be asked to cook.
The three of them chatted and walked out of the farm to wander around.
"There are still a few things here. There are about three hundred chickens, ducks and geese in total. It's hard to see them in such a big place." Wang Lixian said.
"Haha, let's do this for now. I can handle it with less control. I plan to buy a few more sheep after a while."
Chen Ling pointed to the harvested wheat and In the rapeseed field, the terrain there is slightly lower than that of the farm and orchard, and it is constantly undulating, extending together with the steep slope in the distance. It is now covered with lush weeds, and even the vegetable garden is no longer visible. .
“There is so much grass that it is almost going to be barren. The sheep at home can’t finish the grass in the orchard. Buy more sheep. One sheep can be used to herd a group of sheep. It is more worry-free than chickens and ducks. "
Chen Ling had this plan for a long time. Sheep are easy to manage. With dogs around, you don't have to worry about taking care of the first sheep. It's not a big deal to raise a dozen or twenty. At the end of the year, keep a few, sell the rest, and raise them again next year.
"That's okay, but don't you want to plant anything in this land?"
"Plant, then plant after a while, finish this period of time first."
Chen Ling Let’s plant sunflowers as originally planned. They are drought-tolerant and much easier to manage than corn, so they are easy to plant.
The three of them walked through this area while talking and walked up the slope. Wang Jusheng suddenly let out a sigh, pointed at the field down the slope and shouted: "Brother Xian, look, Liu Ni in your field Who is there with me?"
Chen Ling took a look and was immediately stunned, why is this little sheep here again.
Wang Lixian's face suddenly turned cold and he strode over.
Chen Ling and the others hurriedly followed.
At this time, the little sheep was talking to Liu Nier.
“Is this all your family’s land?”
“Yes.”
"It's such a big piece, and there are so many vegetables?"
"This is nothing. I have a greenhouse at home. Don't step on it. This is garlic. It can be stir-fried with eggs or pork."
“This is leeks, good for making dumplings, and this is broad beans, they can be boiled or fried...”
Pumpkin, loofah, beans, Liu Nier introduced them and then raised her head Looking at the little sheep: "Look, what do you want to buy?"
The little sheep scratched his head in confusion and pointed to the depths of the field, "What is inside?"
"It's my mother and my milk inside."
The little sheep was even more confused. Liu Nier's accent was a little thick, so he didn't understand a bit, so he asked: "Ah? What kind of stir-fry can this be mixed with?"
Liu Nier stumbled when she heard this, and turned around to look at him with glaring eyes: "I've believed you in vain if I fired your grandma, you're not here to buy groceries, you're here to make trouble."
< br>As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Nier's face turned pale when she saw the person behind the little sheep: "Da, why are you here."
Wang Lixian walked over with a livid face and said menacingly: "Who asked you to bring him to our field?"
Then he glanced at the little sheep, making him tremble with fright, and said hesitantly: "Uncle, uncle, I'm here to buy some vegetables to eat. Xiaojing said that she wants to taste the taste at home. If you don't want to, I can come out. Buy it with money.”
“If you don’t want to sell it, get out.”
Wang Lixian became even more angry when he heard this: “You haven’t learned it well outside. Who are you fooling with this little trick? Have you made everyone at home a fool? Why didn’t you come back if you really wanted to taste it? Now you have the nerve to say this, get out now.”
Sannier. Instead of showing up, he just asked this little sheep to show up, looking for various reasons to ease the relationship, hoping that Wang Lixian would soften his heart for once.
Wang Lixian was annoyed to death, but Liu Nier softened her heart today. She heard that the third sister wanted to eat vegetables, and the little sheep was willing to spend money to buy them. The family would not disagree, so she decided on her own. The people were brought into the fields.
After knowing what was going on, Chen Ling and Wang Jusheng quickly advised Wang Lixian not to be angry.
Wang Lixian was still very angry, pointing at his nose and telling the little sheep to get lost. In fact, this anger was not caused by him, but the root of his anger was still with Sannier, his ignorant daughter.
Otherwise Wang Lixian's temper would not have caused such a big anger.
"There are dogs, and I'm afraid of dogs."
The little sheep looked in the distance, and saw the little yellow dog and a large group of native dogs in the village running around on the dirt road. Terrified.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Chen Ling walked over and took him up the field ridge. When he was far away from Wang Lixian, he said, "Don't come here recently. If you I really have no choice but to come here, and if I can persist, come back next year after the New Year, and don’t come here to cause trouble this year.”
Sannier is getting married this year, and Sannier is always encouraging. This kid comes back to cause trouble, it's strange that Wang Lixian can give them a good look.
"It will be the seventh month of the lunar calendar soon. You can't wait for even half a year, right?"
"No, no." The little sheep waved his hand, "I want to talk to Xiaojing when I go back. Let’s discuss it.”
"Haha, this kind of thing is not negotiable. If you want to take it well, don't come back in the next six months, so as not to get beaten again."
Chen Ling saw him walk for a while, then stopped and stopped. Send forward.
This kid has nothing to do with him. He came to Wang Lixian for his sake and came to find a chance to say something to him. Every family has a difficult time to recite sutras. Wang Lixian helped him a lot. He met You can't just watch, otherwise Wang Lixian's family will not be peaceful.
"Oh, I know, thank you, uncle."
Seeing the little sheep thank you seriously, Chen Ling couldn't help but be happy. This guy did a good job in his homework and inquired about connections. Pretty good.
