Chapter 396 Telephone and Road Construction
The main reason Chen Ling’s family came to the city was to take advantage of the opportunity to attend Shanmao’s wedding and take Wang Susu and their children out to play.
Now that the wedding is over and the fun has been played, there is no need for the young couple to stay in the city any longer, so they started to pack their things and prepare to go home.
But before going home, the two of them had to help Qin Qiumei do something, but it was not a big deal. They just went to the post office with their IDs to pick up the remittance from her man.
It’s just that the amount is not small, so it’s more convenient to do it here in the city.
For Chen Ling, this is not a troublesome matter. It will be done on the way and he can leave after it is done.
But the elders of Shanmao and Zhao Dahai, as well as Han Ninggui, were too enthusiastic and tried their best to persuade them to stay.
At this time, Rui Rui just started to call him daddy. Chen Lingren was in high spirits on happy occasions and did not refuse.
I have been holding my son with Wang Susu all day long, eating at the host's house today and the west house tomorrow, visiting other people's houses for dinner every day, and even cooking at the same time.
This stay lasts for another four or five days.
It's really fun to play.
But after having been in the city for more than ten days, Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan at home became anxious, thinking that something had happened to them in the city.
......
At noon that day, Chen Ling and Wang Susu were busy making dumplings in the kitchen.
Rui Rui was in the living room guarding a bunch of toys bought by her new uncles, aunts, grandparents, and crawling all over the floor.
After staying here for more than ten days, this house became more and more like a warm little home with the hostess and children moving in.
So much so that Chen Ling and Wang Susu passively began to get used to this rhythm of life, and were not as eager to go back as they were at first.
The young couple also called Liang Yuemin's family today and asked them to come and eat dumplings at noon.
After all, I only met them once after so many days. It also happened to be the Bobcat wedding and I didn’t have much time to reminisce about the past, but it was time to get together again.
It won’t be too late for them to start back tomorrow after gathering.
The two of them were making dumplings and talking small talk. After noon, not long after, Liang Yuemin's family of three came to the door.
After entering the door, Liu Yinhuan washed his hands and prepared to help make dumplings. At the same time, he praised Chen Ling, saying that he did well this time and took Susu and the children out to play.
Liang Yuemin also said that if he had known that they would be out for so many days this time, he would have taken them to the capital to see Tiananmen and the Great Wall.
The adults were making dumplings and talking lively, while the little fat man took his new little white dog to play with Ruirui, and put food and drink on the table. The little guy was playing and feeding the dog.
At this moment, the phone in the bedroom rang.
"Uncle, the phone is ringing, let me answer it for you first."
Hearing the phone ringing, the little fat man got up from the ground and shouted.
He often helps answer the phone at home, and he really wants to express himself at this time.
"Okay, then help uncle pick it up first. Don't let anyone hang up. Uncle will come over after washing his hands."
The couple Chen Lingzheng and Liang Yuemin were talking and heard In response to this, he quickly got up and washed his hands.
Liang Yuemin poked his head out of the kitchen and reminded his son: "Xiao Ming, be polite when you answer the phone for your uncle..."
"I know, I am the most polite."
The little fat man said loudly After answering, he ran to the bedroom to answer the phone.
Seeing this, Ruirui hurriedly crawled on all fours and followed him quickly. Behind him was a small white dog, wagging its tail and happily following him into the bedroom.
At this time, the little fat man picked up the phone and asked in very standard Mandarin: "Hello, who are you talking to?"
This immediately stunned the person on the other side of the phone: "Ah? Isn't this Fugui's house? Why was a baby answering the phone?"
"Uncle Cunye, the phone number Fugui gave you Don’t write it wrong, it’s not Fugui who is calling you, it’s just a baby talking.”
“No, this is the right phone number. Lingzi gave it to others too.”
Wang Cunye held a piece of paper and said doubtfully, he knew that Chen Ling had given Little Sheep this phone number.
The little fat man heard the familiar voice and immediately knew who was on the other side. He shouted into the phone: "Grandpa Wang, I am Xiao Ming. I am Xiao Ming. My uncle is making dumplings in the kitchen. He has white flour on his hands and is washing his hands.”
The little fat man was mumbling a lot. He put the phone too close to the phone and shouted too loudly. It was easy for the phone to make noise at this time. The person who answered the phone couldn't quite hear what was being said, but after Ruirui crawled over, he curiously followed the little fat man and started babbling, and the person on the other side heard it.
Wang Cunye was especially excited: "It's Ruirui, it's my eldest grandson talking on the phone. I said that the phone number can't be written wrong."
As he said, he grabbed the phone.
It happened that Chen Ling washed his hands and came over. Hearing his father-in-law's voice, he quickly picked up the phone. He thought something was going on at home, and the old man was so anxious that he called him.
After a few words, I realized that I had stayed in the city for too long and my family was worried.
So he quickly said he would go back tomorrow and called Wang Susu over to talk.
"It's true, you two, how can you let a little baby answer the phone? We thought we had made a wrong call and almost hung up. Fortunately, we heard Ruirui shouting over there, haha, as soon as I heard my eldest grandson "Dad, that little kid is Xiao Ming from Brother Yue Min's family. We were making dumplings in the kitchen, and we didn't move our hands for a moment, so we asked him to go first." "Yes, didn't you hear it?" Chen Ling explained that no one usually calls this phone number because he is not often in the city and he has never given anyone a phone number, so the ones who call the most are basically Bobcats, Zhao Dahai has a few friends, and it’s okay for the little fat guy to help him pick them up first.
I just didn’t expect that my father-in-law would actually call me.
"Oh, it's the little fat guy, whose little baby I thought he was."
The old man said with a smile.
These words made the little fat man who was eavesdropping with his ears depressed. He stood on tiptoe and shouted angrily: "Grandpa Wang, I heard your voice right away, and you didn't even listen. It was me talking..."
"Haha, I heard it now, grandpa heard it now, Xiao Ming eat more dumplings today, grandpa will catch two birds for you to play with next time you come home. "
After teasing the little fat man, the old man started talking about his grandson. He hadn't seen him for more than ten days, but he missed him very much.
Chen Ling and Wang Susu quickly held their son in front of the phone and asked the old man to listen to the voice. Chen Ling proudly let his son call him dad a few times to show off to his father-in-law.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore. The phone bill is expensive. Dazhi and I came to the county town today to go to the market. Roads are being built in the county town and the village. Come back soon. If you come back late, don't worry. Building roads is troublesome. "
"I know, dad, we will go back tomorrow."
......
As for the road construction in the village and the county, Even if you don’t practice cultivation within two or three years, you will start cultivating it once the millennium passes.
However, in the past two years, Chenwangzhuang Reservoir has been reported in the newspapers and appeared on TV, and its reputation has gradually increased, attracting a large number of tourists, and the road construction has been postponed.
It is said that road construction has begun, but in this country and in this country, don’t think about how good the road will be when building roads.
There is no asphalt road like that in big cities, nor is it even a smooth and flat cement road. It is just a road paved with local materials, small stones and cobbles sifted from the sand in the river, and some coarse sand. .
In local dialect, it is called "Mortar Road".
The top is lumpy and cannot be used to dry grains, and it will be crushed by frequent traffic, but the advantage is that there is no mud when it rains or snows, and it is safer and easier to walk than the current mountain road.
After repairs, it will at least be open to traffic.
Whether outsiders come here or locals go out, it will be more convenient than before.
After Chen Ling's family of three and Zhao Dahai returned to the village the next day, there was not much movement in the village, but preparations were already in full swing around the county seat.
The villagers were both happy and worried.
I am happy that the road is finally being built.
What I am worried about is that the ornamental fish I raise have just started to be sold and the money has just been made. Once the road construction is completed, it will definitely not be completed for a while, which will affect transportation.
There are also smart villagers who want to see Chen Ling's reaction.
After all, the Chen Ling family wanted to send fish and salted eggs. If it had any impact, it would have a greater impact on him.
As a result, after Chen Ling returned home, he was still the same as before. He was not in a hurry all day long, either going to the mountains to pick wild fruits or going to the fields to water wheat, and was indifferent to road construction.
At the end of spring, he suddenly started brewing fruit wine at home again.
Come on, people don't take this seriously at all.
There are also impatient people who come to the house to ask questions.
Chen Ling told them: "The mountain road in the south is not easy to repair. The dirt road leading from Donggang to the old city wall of the county will be built first. It will not affect the transportation of fish."
Give They were sent away.
He has been living a very contented life recently, and he has no time to care about road construction.
After returning from the city, the two beautiful mountain civets matched up with the female cat, and the female cat's belly gradually bulged. Chen Ling let them out after seeing that they were familiar with the environment of the farm.
Recently, I have found a place to dig a cave in the orchard. I spend time with you and me every day, either catching birds or fish. I think I will give birth to kittens soon.
Except for the cats, Chen Ling was most gratified by the performance of the wolf pack. While they did not lose their wildness towards others, they were still very close to their own people.
I heard from my father-in-law and mother-in-law that after they went to the city, the wolves stayed in the surrounding mountains for two or three days and then left.
But they would come back once or twice at night from time to time. Knowing that the poultry and livestock on the farm reacted strongly to them, they stayed for a while.
But he will still guard the farm secretly at night.
Sometimes, Erhei led a group of little dogs up the mountain secretly in the middle of the night, just to play with the wolves.
Wang Cunye said he had seen it once.
In order to confirm this, Chen Ling went for a walk in the mountains at night after returning from the city, and sure enough, he found traces of them near Shanzhong Lake.
As soon as they met, they waved and were called to them, but they only stayed nearby at night. Chen Ling searched for the wolf's lair, but it was still in the same place.
"The cubs have grown up and the wolf pack has grown in size. The territory should have also expanded to include the area near the farm. This is actually not bad."
Chen Ling thought about it and felt a little regretful. I thought: "Since this time, I don't know if the female leopard I've been thinking about will be scared away."
