Chapter 286 Return to Fenglei Town
“What is this rich thing?”
“A honeycomb. This honeycomb is quite big, so don’t come here.”
Chen Ling squats In front of an old and mottled stone wall in the forest, he shouted to a few people.
This stone wall should be a retaining wall built by the forest farm.
It was first used to prevent soil erosion on Tubaoling.
Now, over the years, the roots of the wall are covered with moss and wild vines. The cracked gaps in the wall have also become a perfect place for bumble bees to build their hives.
"Don't go this way, these wild bees are very poisonous."
Chen Ling warned again.
If you have a child with you, it won’t be good if you are stung by a bee.
At this time, the two oxen, one large and one small, had already stayed away from each other.
Only the little white cow was left standing behind Chen Ling, swaying its tail slightly and staring at the gap in the stone wall.
This gap opened like a spider web.
Under the entanglement and cover of wild vines such as spiny rice seedlings and creepers, bumble bees are constantly flying in and out.
Chen Ling gently opened the wild vines and slowly approached the gap in the stone wall. He could still hear the "buzzing" sound in the gap.
He could even see the large honeycomb inside through the cracks, and smelled a light yet sweet smell of nectar.
“This honey is pretty good, but the honeycomb is built in such a bad place that there is no place to start.”
Chen Ling looked left and right, and finally scratched his head. Nothing else. This honeycomb was made by soil bees through the cracks in the stone wall. The honeycomb is inside the wall and the soil behind the stone wall.
This stone wall is so hard, and the gaps in the wall are so small that there is no way to dig it out.
Not even smoking.
The gap is too small, and there are children following, which makes the bees angry, and there is no way to avoid it.
In this case, if you want to dig out the honey from this large honeycomb, you have to wait until no one is around and dig it with a hoe and shovel to get the honey.
It’s not about poaching.
But dig the soil behind the earth wall.
It’s quite strenuous.
Standing in front of the stone wall, after thinking for a while, Chen Ling covered the gaps in the stone wall with messy wild vines.
Then he called the little white cow, and then took the two yellow cows and walked out of the forest.
"What's wrong with wealth? Isn't this honeycomb difficult to dig out?"
Qin Rong asked strangely when he saw him coming out first.
Looking at Chen Ling's posture just now, I thought he was going to dig out the honeycomb.
"Well, it's not easy to dig out."
Chen Ling nodded, "But even if it's easy to dig out, we can't do it now, whether it's smoke or direct extraction. This kind of wild bee will explode and fly everywhere. , sting people when they see you. We have a baby, so we can’t mess around.”
“That’s right, I just looked at your posture and thought that not only could you have a pot of mixed fish for lunch today, but you could also eat it. Eat honey, haha..."
Qin Rongxian laughed, he didn't think much about it.
"Uncle, can we roast the mantis now?"
As soon as Xiao Lizi heard that he didn't want to dig out the honeycomb, he quickly ran forward and looked at him expectantly.
“Okay, grilled mantises, how many have you caught?”
“Many, ten of them.”
The little girl thought with her fingers. After thinking for a while, he replied.
“Oh, we’ve caught so many, let’s go, uncle will bake them for you.”
Chen Ling took a look and saw that there were more than ten, but the little girl could count to ten now.
Soon, after roasting the mantis, several people divided the fragrant mantis eggs.
Then Xiao Lizi pestered him to catch frogs. There were many frogs in the two ponds.
Ruirui, the kid, liked this kind of jumping gadgets the most. Wang Susu hugged them and followed them around, looking around, very happy.
Having fun, it was almost noon, and a few people slowly prepared to go back.
They are not in a hurry to go home either.
I am going to go to school to call Wang Zhenzhen out and have dinner together at home at noon.
Wang Zhenzhen usually brings lunch from home and has it heated by the canteen. Sometimes Liang Hongyu will make her something delicious and will call her out for a meal or give her something as a gift.
After many times, the teacher and the guard recognized her. If she walked over and said something, they would help her go to the classroom and tell Wang Zhenzhen that she would come out after school at noon and there would be no need to eat at school.
Now, there are only a few minutes until school is over, so we don’t have to wait long.
While several people were waiting for Wang Zhenzhen to come out, Chen Ling saw an acquaintance.
He is the county postman, probably delivering letters to the school, and he just came out of the small side door of the school.
At this time, I also saw their family of three. I was stunned for a while, then I pushed the car and walked over with a smile, "Are your family also waiting for the kids to get out of school? I happen to have your letter, so I'll give it to you first. Anyway, you are the only one in your village, so I won’t go there.”
This man runs around delivering letters all day long, and he has a very good temper.
Chen Ling was also very familiar with him, so he came close to the mail package and looked at it: "How many letters are there this time?"
"Five letters, and a book."
The man bent over and flipped through the mail bag, raised his head and grinned at him: "You were originally supposed to go to the post office to pick up this book, but it's nothing. You know that I often deliver newspapers and letters to you, so you asked me to bring them over.”
“Okay, please.”
Chen Ling took all the letters and books in his hand. , briefly joked with the man, and then watched him leave.
"Why are there so many letters this time? Five letters came at once." Wang Susu said in surprise when she saw the stack of letters in his hand.
"Well, I guess they saw the turtle coming out of the reservoir."
Chen Ling looked at the address on the envelope and smiled: "It's also the Mid-Autumn Festival, so let's ask each other. Okay."
"Who wrote the letter? Dahai and the others?" Qin Rongxian asked.
Liang Hongyu and Qin Yueru also came forward to take a look.
“It’s not Brother Dahai and the others.”
Wang Susu shook her head, glanced at Chen Ling, curled her lips and said, "I have pen pals now. There are many of them. They write letters all day long."
"Oh, Fugui, do you still have a pen pal?"
Liang Hongyu’s eyes widened. This great nephew has now developed a pen pal.
Then he looked at the book in his hand.
“What kind of book is this?”
"Wait, let me take a look."
Chen Ling tore open the kraft paper covering the outside of the book, and Liang Hongyu, mother and daughter, read out the words on the cover of the book in unison.
"Medicinal botany..."
"Good guy, botany is also used for medicinal purposes. You are now more advanced."
"Oh, still. A university professor sent me a book and wrote a message?”
Liang Hongyu's family of four surrounded Chen Ling and marveled.
“Haha, it’s nothing, it’s just a pen pal I’ve never met. When I wrote the letter, I shamelessly said that I couldn’t recognize herbal medicines and things like that, and my wife wanted to open a Chinese medicine shop. I asked someone to recommend a book for me to study. Unexpectedly, it was sent to me directly."
Chen Ling smacked his lips, smiled, and then waved the book to Wang Susu, "Here, this is it. I asked for it, and there are pictures in it. After we go home, let’s take care of the baby and study at the same time.” When Wang Susu saw this, she frowned and snorted at him. Holding the baby in his arms, he came closer to take a look.
When she saw it, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Ah, what a clear illustration."
"Hehe, that's right. They must have carefully selected it, otherwise how would they be able to use it."
Chen Ling opened the book and asked his wife to read a few more articles.
Wang Susu became more and more satisfied and happy as she watched. She kept nodding her head as she watched.
"Hey, look at this young couple. When they talk small talk, no one else is in their eyes. Tsk..."
Liang Hongyu said to her husband and daughter. "Grandma, look, my little aunt is out."
At this time, Xiao Lizi saw Wang Zhenzhen coming out of the school gate, waving her little hands happily and jumping up and down, "Little aunt, little aunt, I am here."
This girl is also Wang Zhenzhen. My little follower really likes to play with Wang Zhenzhen.
If it weren’t for the crowd around the school during school hours and not letting her run around, she would have run to the school gate and waited for Wang Zhenzhen.
……
After picking up Wang Zhenzhen, we returned to Liang Hongyu's house. The two little girls got together. It was really lively.
Having a pot of mixed fish at noon, Wang Zhenzhen still had some time to take a lunch break after finishing the meal.
But at school, they don’t sleep either.
Just play in various ways on the school playground, including rope skipping, shuttlecock playing, and hopscotch, until class in the afternoon.
It’s just fun everywhere, so I don’t care about her. Just go back to school when it’s time for class in the afternoon.
Originally, Chen Ling thought about going to the forest farm to dig out the honeycombs in the afternoon, but his son started to make trouble again.
Today they just came to the county town to get vaccinated. They didn’t want to stay longer. Now that they have stayed for more than half a day, they don’t have enough diapers.
The little guy also started to cry, no matter how much he was coaxed, it would not work.
"Ruirui probably wants to go home and take a nap. This brat has recognized people and beds since he was a child."
Liang Hongyu said.
Wang Susu smiled helplessly: "That's right, our family is very difficult to maintain."
"Fugui, please drive Yueru's car to take Susu back, and come back in the afternoon."
>Chen Ling was not polite to them either, because the school would have the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday tomorrow and he would have to drive to Fenglei Town to pick up Wang Qingwen and his family.
I got in the car and took Wang Susu home.
Wang Zhenzhen, who went to the county town to pick her up again in the evening, came back with an ox cart.
It’s just a toss-up anyway.
Qin Yueru thought it was troublesome for him to run back and forth, so she drove the car over early the next morning for him to use. She was worried that he would carry many people, so he drove Liang Hongyu's big jeep.
It can be said that this silly lady is also very caring and thoughtful.
Going to Fenglei Town, the road is difficult to walk over mountains and rivers.
The tractor can only go as far as the ancient trade road to the west of Changle Township, and can no longer cross.
For other means of transportation, in addition to animal-drawn carts and bicycles, you can also drive a car or a three-wheeler.
Now that I have a car, of course it is more comfortable.
Just in time, Qin Yueru also drove over, and Chen Ling took this opportunity to rush back to Fenglei Town with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Qin Yueru and Wang Susu were left to look after the house at the farm and play around with their two children.
……
I have to say, the car is still fast and comfortable.
When I came out of the village, it was actually not very early, but when I arrived in Changle Township.
Many vendors here have not yet set up their stalls.
On their side, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the county and towns will hold large fairs for three days in a row, selling all kinds of things. The excitement is as lively as the New Year.
When he arrived in the countryside, Chen Ling stopped the car, bought two bags of mooncakes and brought them back without saying a word.
He had also written two letters to Wang Qingwen in advance, saying that he would pick them up during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and also let him and Wang Qingzhong know.
If you are busy then, I will pick up the boy from Wang Qingzhong’s family.
Wang Qingwen said that the boy from Wang Qingzhong's family did not follow them, but his grandmother. In the past six months, Wang Cunye and Wang Cunye were not at home and could not take care of their grandson, so Guo Xinping sent the child back to her parents' home.
So I have to pick her up from my grandma’s house. At this critical moment, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in two days, so you can’t come empty-handed.
Even if it is simple to buy two bags of mooncakes.
What's more, when Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan came out, they also took a lot of wild boar meat.
That's enough.
Wang Qingzhong and his father-in-law live very close to Changle Township, so they drove to pick up their children first.
Hey guys, driving a car to a mountain village these days, especially a remote village, can really cause quite a stir.
As soon as Chen Ling drove the car into the village, half of the village people came out to take a look.
Although this was not their own car, Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan couldn't help but raise their chests and raise their heads while sitting in the car. They felt their faces were hot and flushed as they faced the gazes of many eyes.
In fact, they were both proud and nervous, and their palms and nose tips were sweating.
When they arrived at Wang Qingzhong’s father-in-law’s house, the old man and the old lady were even more enthusiastic when they saw their fight.
After taking the things they brought, the two old people were quite embarrassed.
The old lady put a big bag of wild fruits and mushrooms picked in the mountains and brought it out.
The old man also took out a bamboo pole specially used for beating jujubes, walked to the old jujube tree in the yard, hooked a jujube branch hard, and stood under the tree, shaking it loudly.
The dates crackled and fell down like hailstones.
Chen Ling was embarrassed to let the old man do the work by himself, so he picked up the bamboo basket and helped to pick it up underneath, while shouting: "That's enough, uncle, this is enough, we can't take any more."
< br>But it still couldn't stop the old man's enthusiasm.
After shaking two large jujube branches, the old man stopped and picked up dates for them with a grin.
Wang Cunye looked on with a smile. After Zaozi was packed, he said to Chen Ling: "Lingzi, let's go outside and pack Baogu for your uncle."
To the west of Changle Township, Baogu It's better to collect them earlier, they are already piled outside the door to dry.
What is different from those east of Changle Township is that they don’t hang them on the walls and doors very often. They peel the corn cobs quickly, dry them, and then pack them up and store them in the house.
Wang Cunye knew this, so he called Chen Ling to help clean up the corn outside the door.
Chen Ling is good at hard work, and everyone in his family knows how fast he works.
The land here is small, and the corn planted is only one or two acres at most, half an acre less, or a few cents.
This little job is nothing to Chen Ling.
Three times, five times and two times is enough.
When the old man and the old lady saw this situation, they repeatedly praised their son-in-law to Wang Cunye and his wife, and then made arrangements to pack lunch so that they could stay for dinner.
It's a pity that they have to go back to Fenglei Town and Yaowang Village on the mountain to see it. Naturally, they can't stay for dinner, otherwise the warm reception will waste a lot of time. .
So he declined again and again, picked up Dongdong and rushed to Fenglei Town.
The arrival in Fenglei Town went smoothly. Wang Qingwen and his wife were on vacation this afternoon.
It doesn’t matter if students finish their homework in the morning and leave at noon. There are no classes in the afternoon anyway.
The holidays are also long at this time. It takes at least seven days to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Because we are all busy with farming.
I can help with some work around the house during the holidays.
If Sundays, holidays and weekends can be added to eight or nine days, that would be really cool.
Chen Ling came to pick them up, and the happiest ones were the two little babies.
Xiao Tongtong is an introverted child, but he is very close to Chen Ling, his uncle who loves to play and can play. He talks without any pressure. When he sees him, he pesters him and lets him hold him. Let him take it out to play.
"Uncle, please take me to the show, okay? My father and mother won't take me there."
In fact, the baby didn't spend any money when he went out, but Wang Qingwen was too serious. He was strict about everything he did on weekdays, and he was very strict with Xiao Tongtong, which frustrated the baby.
He doesn't care if other children dare to sneak out.
After meeting Chen Ling now, he really felt like it was the Chinese New Year. He immediately let himself go and wanted Chen Ling to take him to the big market to have fun and watch the excitement.
"Okay, uncle will take you to the show, Dongdong will go too, let's go pick out a puppy, okay?"
"Okay, I know that uncle is the best to me. .”
Good guy, just by taking him to play, he bought them off, leaving Wang Qingwen, a father, at a loss what to say.
