Chapter 343 Dog Hunting on a Motorcycle
The New Year comes and goes quickly.
The weather is getting warmer and the snow from the winter has melted.
Chen Ling also took off a layer of thick clothes early.
As soon as he got up to sweep the yard in the morning, a flock of pigeons fell into the farm.
This is a pigeon raised by the family. It has always been in the village, but after settling down, it did not go out all day long, but often flew around.
Every once in a while, I land at the farm.
No, after flying over, he stood on the top of the building and walked around, making a bunch of noises early in the morning.
I walked around on the roof facing the sun for a while, and saw Chen Ling sweeping the floor, then flew down and followed him to beg for food.
That’s what pigeons are like. Sometimes they will fall into people’s hands when feeding them if they are not their owners. They are very docile even if they are touched while eating.
Pigeons are docile and lovable on the one hand, but they are also extremely frustrating when begging for food.
No one has had breakfast yet, but they are more anxious to eat than anyone else. Chen Ling had no choice but to fill a bowl of corn kernels and bring them out. Before he could sprinkle them on the ground, a bunch of pigeons flew onto his hands and arms, flapped their wings and started to grab them. The bowl was full of corn kernels, and soon they were all gone. Sold out.
It is a blessing to be able to eat. Chen Ling took out another bowl and continued to feed them.
Last year’s little pigeons have grown up now. Among the pigeons, most are still gray and black, but there are also one or two special ones with numb backs.
The so-called hemp-backed pigeons have a muzzle, bean eyes, and their backs are almost completely white with extremely small black spots. They are more fancy and prettier than ordinary pigeons.
To put it simply, the wings are black and white, speckled like fish scales, and scattered in an orderly manner.
The pockmarked back is not the back, the pockmarked black spots on the white background are the wings of the pigeon.
In short, Chen Ling was somewhat satisfied with being able to raise two pigeons of different colors.
Thinking about breeding more times and breeding more beautiful pigeons.
White doves, black doves, floral ones, all colors and categories are required.
Anyway, he likes pigeons, hawks, and other fun birds. He will bring out the parrots another day. Those parrots are also made of real leather. They have already hatched eggs in the cave.
Seeing that they are raising more and more birds, whenever you have free time, go to the market to sell birds.
That was also very pleasant and fun.
Thinking happily in his heart, Chen Ling finished feeding the pigeons, then went to feed the chickens, ducks, sheep, and clean up the feces.
That’s the bad thing about winter. There’s nothing to eat outside, so we can’t let them all out.
They have to eat, drink, and poop in the pen, and they have to be fed and watered, and they have to clean, and they have to take care of everything.
Fortunately, they don’t feed them, and the water source at home is relatively good. Even if they urinate a lot, they can be treated in time every day and the smell is not too bad.
This is actually not obvious in chickens, ducks and sheep, but more obvious in pigs.
The stench of pig manure from feed pigs is overwhelming, but domestic pigs are much better.
The food and drinks in Chen Ling's house are all good, but naturally they don't taste very good.
Even the urine smell of sheep is much lighter than other people's urine.
After cleaning the feces, go to milk the goat.
There are currently five dairy goats on the farm, and the rest are all black goats.
Rui Rui has been weaned recently and will be eight months old in a few days. There is no need to buy milk powder for him. Just boil some goat milk every day and mix it with millet porridge and eat some egg paste.
……
The first month is the leisure month, and the weather is showing signs of warming up. In the warm afternoons, the villagers often gather at the meal site to weave baskets, chat, and continue the unfinished projects of the winter month.
Chen Ling also had some free time. He had nothing to do at home and no need to visit relatives, so he simply took Wang Lizian and others to Wang Bacheng to buy a tractor.
In addition to the tractor, we also built a motorcycle.
There were not many people when I went there, but after I brought the tractor back, word spread quickly.
The little kids rushed to tell each other and went home to ask adults to see them.
"Sir, Uncle Fugui bought a new tractor. It's at the farm. Let's go and have a look."
"Da, Uncle Fugui's family bought a motorcycle. It's big red and the wheels are so high that you don't need to pedal." It can be driven, and it runs very fast..."
When the villagers rushed over one after another, the Chen Ling family was welcoming the new machine outside the farm.
Under the warm sunshine, a burst of crackling firecrackers rang out at the farm. The open space outside the farm was suddenly enveloped in green smoke. The familiar smell of gunpowder drifted away with the green smoke, startling a large number of birds in the forest. The villagers who came to watch the excitement stretched their heads with smiles and looked at the tractors and motorcycles parked outside the farm.
The brand-new agricultural machinery is very bright in color. Coupled with the bright red silk on the machine and the sound of firecrackers, joy immediately hits our faces.
The motorcycle is also red.
Using ropes and brackets to fix it on the tractor and pull it back, Chen Ling and others have already ridden it several times.
However, you don’t have to welcome motorcycles. What you welcome are big machines, iron animals that can work for the family, and tractors.
After the firecrackers went off, Chen Ling took out his cigarette and spread it around the men. Then, under the expectant eyes of men, women, old and young, he got on his motorcycle and drove back and forth on the dirt road and in the fields. In a circle.
“Uncle Fugui, can I ride on it and give it a try?”
After eagerly watching Chen Ling come back from riding in a circle, a group of young people stretched their heads, swallowed their saliva, and their faces were full of eagerness to try.
Chen Ling glanced at the crowd and saw the expectant looks of the old and young men. He smiled and said: "Wen Chao, Xiao Jiu, come up and ride around. Come one by one, don't rush, don't Anxious.”
The younger ones come first, and the older ones stay behind.
Where is the gear shift, where is the accelerator, and where is the brake.
After teaching each one, not to mention the men, even some women rode on it and learned a lap.
I was just scared to death when I was learning.
This is a big motorcycle that Chen Ling bought. If women are not tall, their feet cannot reach the ground. It is a bit difficult to ride on it. It is also difficult to change gears and has little experience in riding motorcycles. In the end It makes you dare to ride but dare not stop.
After all, my feet can’t touch the ground, and I can’t even support myself with my feet.
In the end, the men have to surround us and finish it off.
After the thrilling motorcycle ride, it was time to drive a tractor, which was as lively as a wedding.
Chen Ling also allowed them to drive. In the end, the little ones were not satisfied, so Chen Ling rode on it himself, taking five or six little ones at a time, whizzing back and forth on the dirt road and wheat fields, and the little ones screamed with excitement.
“You are still rich and generous. This machine is constantly burning oil, and it is all money.”
“Fugui, it seems that you are this year. I’m ready to do something big. I’ve bought a tractor and a motorcycle, so why not build a greenhouse?”
The villagers were praising Chen Ling for his generosity, but Wang Laishun felt that Chen Ling would not miss the chance. Buying these two things for no reason.
"No, at least not this year."
Chen Ling shook his head. How tiring it is to grow a greenhouse. He will hire people to do it in the future, but he definitely doesn’t have that intention this year. He just wants to raise fish, dogs, and cattle. Let’s talk about other things.
And there are new changes in prices this year, so just keep doing your own thing as planned.
Now there is no need to go to the market to sell eggs.
Just wait for someone to pick up the pickled salted eggs.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Jiancheng came to the farm and took away a batch of salted eggs. This was agreed upon years ago.
As a result, Liu Jiancheng came back from the city two days later. He said that after delivering the gifts, his wife and mother-in-law tried to sell them in the market, and the sales level shocked them.
In the first month of the year, there are many people visiting relatives, so salted eggs sell very quickly, especially salted duck eggs are the fastest.
This salted egg is so delicious that you will never forget it once you eat it.
So in the future, even if it is not a year or a festival, there will still be a place to sell it without fear of no one buying it.
"Then you want to fish? I saw that when you built a farm last year, you built a few canals, and they were full of fish."
"Yes, you raise fish and sell them."
Chen Ling planned to take the raised ornamental fish out in the first month of the year, not only in this city, but also in the south and north of the Yangtze River.
Wang Laishun misunderstood and thought it was edible fish, so he asked: "If you buy a tractor, do you have to go out and deliver it yourself?"
"If you don't give it away, you give it to someone else. How troublesome it is. This tractor is used as a livestock, and is used to do farm work at home during busy periods.”
Chen Ling's words and the expression on his face made everyone laugh, and said to Wang Laishun: "Fifth uncle, you ask this, is Fugui that kind of person? He doesn't do hard work. "
" Rich, can this fruit tree bear fruit this year? It seems that there is a harvest in these thirty acres of land. "
"Yes, if there is a harvest, it will be this flower. It hasn’t been opened yet, so I don’t know what the harvest will be like.”
“What’s the matter? You have a good man who has a cannery at home. No matter how bad the harvest is, you can still save money.”
< br>Chen Ling didn't say much about this. He smiled and invited people to come to the farm to drink tea. He, Wang Lixian and others drove the tractor and motorcycle to the back of the farm.
It’s time for the fruit trees to bear fruit this year.
But the harvest is unknown. People who really plant fruit trees in the mountains are not as simple as Chen Ling.
To ensure a good harvest and to sell at a high price, fruit trees cannot do without people’s careful care.
It’s really more tiring than growing food, and it’s far from what it takes for Chen Ling to be so idle.
Of course he does not support his family by growing fruit trees.
There is no fear of this either.
He only relies on good land and water sources, and is not worried about the harvest of fruit trees.
……
Chen Ling’s family added a TV last year and farm machinery and motorcycles this year, which stimulated many villagers.
But after what happened to the Guangyun family, no matter how jealous people were, they didn’t dare to touch the Chen Ling family’s bad luck.
Chen Ling trained bees to no avail, but he managed to simply drive away snakes in the cave with the help of bamboo flutes and improved snake-attracting medicine.
Wild poisonous snakes will behave well when they encounter him. After patient training, they will also react in various ways.
I believe that in the near future we will be able to raise snakes to guard the farm.
So he is not afraid at all.
In the evening, after having an early meal, Chen Ling pushed the motorcycle out. Wang Susu sat behind her holding the tightly wrapped fat baby, turning on the headlights, and there were a group of people beside the motorcycle. A tough and strong little dog.
Although these little dogs no longer look like little fat dogs, they are not lean either. They have not started to replace their thick winter fur, and they still look chubby all over, like little bears. But their legs are very strong and slender, and they are tall. It's bigger than the native dog in the village.
"Go, go, go forward."
Tonight Chen Ling is going to take these little guys hunting outside the village.
This is also their first time to hunt alone without Heiwa Xiaojin’s teachings.
Listening to him giving orders to the puppy, the little guy between him and Wang Susu imitated restlessly, flicking a little foot and making a vague "go, go, go" sound at the puppy.
The little dogs scattered and ran quickly in the wheat field, and after running for a certain distance.
Chen Ling turned on the headlights of his motorcycle and rode the motorcycle along the dirt road. The light of the motorcycle's headlights kept shining on the wheat fields.
"There are rabbits in the east, let them chase them."
Wang Susu stretched out her hand, Chen Ling quickly whistled, and the barking of a dog with a slight milky sound was heard in an instant. He caught a glimpse of it and quickly chased after the rabbit.
Seeing this, Chen Ling also drove his motorcycle into the wheat field. A family of three sat on the motorcycle and led the dogs to chase the rabbit.
Facing the night wind.
Wang Susu held the baby tightly and held on to Chen Ling's clothes. The baby in her arms was babbling and yelling excitedly. She kept poking her head and followed the lights of the motorcycle to chase the puppy. traces of the children.
"Wow, I caught it."
The rabbit jumped left and right, but still couldn't escape the ferocious puppies.
After a while, he was pushed to the ground.
Wang Susu shouted excitedly and pointed in the direction for her husband and son to see.
But the little dogs only cared about eating, and even after catching the rabbit, they did not pick it back up. Instead, they fought to tear the rabbit into pieces and wolfed it down.
Chen Ling took a look and slapped his forehead, come on, there will be some lessons from now on.
