Chapter 429 Young Woman
The village has been busy all morning, and Chen Ling is not interested in getting involved in their affairs.
I picked up two things in the village yard, released the little white cow, and then drove my father-in-law back to the farm on a motorcycle.
They are also busy today.
The weather is hot and it is not easy to store eggs for a long time.
A new batch of salted eggs is about to be pickled.
There are quite a lot of chicken and duck eggs in each batch, so this will take a long time to complete.
"Is everything okay in the village?"
Wang Susu and Ruirui were in the orchard. They just opened the chicken coop door and asked when they saw them coming back.
Chen Ling smiled slightly, walked over and picked up Ruirui: "It's nothing. We've called the police. We don't need to worry about it."
"Dad."
Ruirui pointed to the chicken coop for him to see.
Chen Ling looked over and said, "What's wrong, those are chickens, ducks, and goslings."
"Eat."
"You don't The only other thing to do is to eat.”
"Hey."
At this time, the chickens, ducks, and goslings at home have begun to slowly shed their down, and began to grow thick feathers.
Little guys grow the fastest during their infancy.
It's just that they are not fully grown yet. Some of the down has fallen off, but the feathers have not grown back for a while, so some of the chicks are still "bare butt eggs".
However, having bare buttocks and eggs does not stop them from running out to have fun and grab food. As soon as the doors of the chicken coop and duck pen are opened, a group of little things rush out, and the little ducks and geese jump into the water. , catching small fish and shrimps to eat, the little chickens rushed into the grass, chasing the immature grasshoppers and the little frogs that had just landed and jumped around.
On the other hand, the adult chickens, ducks and geese were very calm and slowly swayed out. They lined up one by one with leisurely steps, some walking up the mountain, and some walking towards the small river ditch behind the farm.
Seeing this, the chickens, ducks and geese also hurriedly ran out of the grass, jumped up from the ditch, and followed closely with their little buttocks swaying.
The goslings among the chickens and ducks grow much faster than the chickens and ducks. On average, they can be one circle larger than the ducklings and two circles larger than the chicks. Now it is time to molt. time.
It doesn’t look as good as before.
There were a few rough hairs stuck on the originally plush and chubby body, which made Chen Ling want to pluck them out.
"I'll take him to the drug store. He's always running around and playing at home, and he also wants to play in the water. I'll go over there and pickle him first."
Wang Susu carried a basket of eggs. There is everything in the village. , pickled salted eggs are also convenient.
Seeing this, Wang Cunye grabbed his daughter's basket and said, "Why are you so worried? Just watch him at home. Your mother will send Zhenzhen back in a while. The three of us can do it very quickly. Very.”
Chen Ling also said that she didn’t have to worry about it and just let her take care of the baby in the village.
Ruirui is really skinnier than a little monkey. Now he walks more steadily. He dares to go anywhere, but he has to watch carefully.
Wang Susu couldn't resist, so she had no choice but to hold Ruirui in her arms, and the two of them went to the village each wearing a sun hat.
Chen Ling and Wang Cunye then released the livestock.
The little green horse couldn't wait for a long time. As soon as it was released, it rushed out and let go of its hooves for a while.
The sheep bleated, you squeezed me, I squeezed you, and they rushed out.
There were only three yellow cattle, walking slowly towards the river. The grass there was delicious and cooler. There were also small white cattle there.
Guarded by dogs.
Don’t worry about them, they have long been used to it.
Chen Ling, Weng and his son-in-law moved the things to the pavilion in the bamboo forest, boiled water, made tea, and pickled the salted eggs.
After a while, Gao Xiulan came back, even faster.
While working, the old couple talked about what happened in the village.
Talking about earth dragons, talking about jackals, talking about wild monkeys...
The more you talk about it, the more evil it becomes.
Gao Xiulan finally came to a conclusion: "Even the earth dragon has gone to the mountains. There must be valuable treasures that we don't know about."
At about eleven o'clock, Gao Xiulan finished speaking. I got up and went back to make lunch.
Within two steps, I heard the shout of a little kid running here to play in the distance.
Xiao Sen from Yuqiang's family rushed over and called him, jumping up and down with excitement: "Uncle, uncle, your dogs are a good match. You have to leave one puppy for me this time."< br>
"Dogs are paired?"
Chen Ling and Wang Cunye looked at each other and hurried over there.
Under the watch of the little doll, there were indeed two big dogs, one gray and one red, with their tongues hanging out and their buttocks connected.
“I’ll go, Ermao and Red Wolf are paired together.”
The two matching dogs were none other than Ermao, the puppy from Chen Ling's family, and the Xiangxi red wolf dog from Shanmao's family.
The Shanmao family went to Yaowang Temple to burn incense. Naturally, they didn’t bring their dog with them. They left his red wolf and Zhao Dahai’s thin dog together. Anyway, they just picked out any dog from Chen Ling’s house. I can subdue them and I am not afraid of them making trouble or biting.
“I didn’t expect that Er Mao was the first to enlighten me.”
Wang Cunye was stunned for a moment and said cheerfully, “Er Hei needs to work harder.”
Part 2 Among the group of wolf dogs, except Erhei, a black dog, all others are gray and yellow, which is similar to the color of wolf's fur.
Chen Ling ranked them from one cent to nine cents.
Er Mao is a dog that is easy to identify. There is a small fleshy bag on the umbilical cord, which is very obvious.
"Hahaha, our second-generation wolfdog is here, and the lynx can go back with satisfaction this time."
Chen Ling said with a smile.
The Bobcat family's red wolf is in estrus, and the two of them originally wanted them to get along, and maybe it will happen.
Unexpectedly, only about a week later, there was actually a drama of a mountain village boy falling in love with a city girl.
“Can it be sold?”
“Selling is secondary. The first litter of a female dog is usually one puppy. This red wolf is the first litter, and it is most likely an only child. , can't be sold..."
Chen Ling shook his head and smiled: "The main thing is that the puppies are getting better, and it will be easier to deal with our second-generation wolfdog gradually."< br>
There is no need to sell one or two puppies. The key is that the dogs can be matched and the female dog has gradually started to come into heat. From then on, everything will be easier.
...
The Shanmao family went there for four or five days and stayed in Fenglei Town for two days. They also planned to help Chen Ling drive his two uncles over.
Shan Mao and Professor Han went to Lutoushan to track golden monkeys and native leopards before, and they had already known each other with the Wang Qingwen brothers.
It's a pity that they can't leave yet and have to wait for another two or three days for vacation. Besides, Wang Qingzhong went on business with the caravan and didn't come back.
After rushing back at noon, the first thing Shanmao said when he got off the car was to tell Chen Ling about this.
The result was that the dog was matched.
The lynx was so happy that it almost jumped up.
"There are three cats and four dogs. If we wait for two more months, won't we have puppies?"
The lynx clapped his hands and said, "How about I leave him here with you to give birth?" "
"No, I have enough dogs at home," Chen Ling refused.
"Haha, look how scared you are. Who said I would ask you to help me raise..."
The lynx said, winking at Zhao Dahai and the others: "The two old men were so happy that they couldn't bear to leave. I want to build a house in your mountain."
"Building a house in the mountain?" Chen Ling was stunned. The two old men wanted to go out together. Okay, why do you still want to build a house here?
He and Bobcat had just come to see the dogs.
Over there, Zhao Dahai and Wang Cunye were sitting in the pavilion helping pickle salted eggs, and they were obviously talking about this.
Just listen to Wang Cunye say: "Now there are no wild things in the mountains. Why go to the mountains to build a house? Not to mention the trouble, you will have to be scared at night."
"Brother Cunye, you don't understand. What we mean is that we are old and tired of staying in the city, so we want to live in seclusion in the countryside. We have mentioned this to our children a long time ago, and they also think that we are looking for trouble. What is there in the countryside? Okay, it’s hard and tiring, and even the suburban counties don’t want us to go..."
Zhao Yubao shook his head, smiled and sighed, "But in the past few days since we came to your place, we, the old couple, have understood , the countryside is not only bitter and tiring, but also allows us to live a fulfilling and comfortable life.
To put it bluntly, you just think that we are old and boring, and we have to cultivate some fields and contribute some energy. Khan, I feel practical and interesting, and my life is not in vain.”
When Chen Ling heard this, he smiled inwardly: Come on, it turns out that he came here to live in seclusion.
It seems that I have been prepared for this for a long time, not just on a whim.
Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan couldn't figure out which part of their relationship was wrong, and they still didn't understand.
Lao Zhongtou said quickly: "Brother Cunye, don't look at me. We, the old couple, are just playing with them and come here to escape the summer heat. We want to build a house if we want to build a house, but after the summer, these two or three days We are still waiting for a grandson. We can’t stay here forever. It’s enough to just come here and play every summer.
It’s so much fun in the summer.”
"No, Brother Zhao, Brother Zhong, I don't mean anything else. The mountains are really not peaceful recently. It's best not to live in the mountains. Let me tell you about recent events..."
Wang Cunye talked about what happened twice in a row when Li Hongqi and others entered the mountain.
While I was telling the story, the adults and children who were rushing to dinner today also came over.
Everyone said something to me.
He recounted what happened in the mountains with added detail.
There are all kinds of ferocious beasts, legends about angry earth gods and ghostly mountain spirits.
While the two elders found it novel and exciting, they also felt a little scared.
"Since it's not possible in the mountains, what about in the village? Is it possible to build a house in the village?"
Zhao Yubao said a little unwillingly.
“We originally wanted to build two bamboo houses in the bamboo forest over the mountain lake and open up two small courtyards to grow vegetables and flowers, surrounded by streams. It must be very artistic...”
< br>
The two old ladies also admired and agreed.
In just a few days after arriving here, their waists and legs no longer hurt, their sleep has improved, their moods are extremely cheerful, and they feel happy every day.
It's much better than staying in the city.
Especially looking at the small life of Chen Ling's family, I am really envious.
The Chen Ling family has not said anything yet.
Wang Laishun hurriedly chatted: "It's okay in the village. You can choose wherever you want to build a house, and I will help you find someone to build it."
Other villagers were also very enthusiastic.
Grandma, this is a great writer. If he comes to live in the village, it will be more honorable to talk about it in the future.
Although many villagers do not understand what these city people think.
Living in a high-rise building in the city and driving a car are what many people dream of.
Why are you digging into the nooks and crannies of this poor ravine?
Still trying to build a house in the mountains.
There are also people who are open-minded and think that it is right to do whatever you want with money, spend it as you like, and have fun as you like. If you get tired of staying in the country, you can go back if you want. You don't care if the house is still here. If you are a poor person and have tired legs of staying in the country, can you go out if you want?
So no matter what other people do, if you have your own benefits, then go for it. If you don’t have any benefits for yourself and just give others a compliment, then that’s it.
The lynx nuzzled at the two old men: "Did you see it? If you can't do it in the mountains, you will go to the village and settle down here with you."
"My dad is quite good. Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are really possessed."
Chen Ling laughed loudly when he heard this.
He actually understands this feeling.
Once in the capital, he had seen old people raising chickens, ducks, pigeons, and growing vegetables and grain on the balconies and roofs of residential buildings in luxury communities.
Every night you can hear the sound of pigeons flapping their wings, and in the morning you can hear the crowing of roosters and the cries of geese.
As for growing vegetables and grain, foam boxes, snakeskin bags and the like can be used.
It really opened his eyes and he remembered it very deeply.
Some people yearn for pastoral life when they get old, dreaming of living in seclusion in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Just like what Tao Yuanming said in his poem: There is no popular rhyme, and nature loves hills and mountains.
Nothing else, just this kind of life, I live a good life.
At noon, we had a simple meal at Chen Ling’s farm.
The two families followed Wang Laishun around the village to find a suitable place to build a house.
Chen Ling did not join in the fun.
Riding on the little green horse, taking Ruirui with him, he carried a basket of mountain donkey meat and sent it to two friends in the county.
The water tower has a good preservation effect, even better than the refrigerator.
No matter what kind of meat you have in the future, you won’t have to worry about it spoiling in the hot weather.
Chen Ling planned to kill a sheep, some roosters and ducks before the Dragon Boat Festival, and hang them in the water tower. When his eldest uncle and his second uncle came, he would entertain them well.
"By the way, there are also rice dumpling leaves..."
Chen Ling thought about it and said to himself: "The reed leaves are almost fragrant, and there is no fragrance here either. I don’t know if there is anything in Dongtian that can replace it.”
Thinking like this, Zhong Xiaoyun’s house arrived.
It is also a small courtyard similar to the one in the south of Chen Ling's house.
Years ago, all the houses in the county were self-built. Just like in the village, the living styles of residents in the same county were quite different.
"Okay, this is your aunt Xiaoyun's house. Go and call the door."
Chen Ling got off the horse and slipped his son down with one hand. The brat was wearing rice The mouse wore a sunhat, a small kettle hanging on his chest, and small sandals, and staggered to the red iron gate of the small yard.
Then he turned his head and looked at Chen Ling, not knowing what to do.
Chen Ling took out a large piece of meat from the basket and said with a smile: "Auntie, please open the door."
The little thing stuck out his butt, pressed his little hand on the door, and shouted through the crack of the door: "Auntie~Kai Meng~"
Chen Ling cooperated with him and gently knocked on the door.
Soon there were footsteps in the courtyard, and the door opened, revealing Zhong Xiaoyun's surprised face: "Hey, who is this? Let aunt see who this is, isn't this Ruirui? You Why are you here?”
“Hehe, yes~”
After not seeing Zhong Xiaoyun for many days, Ruirui was still a little shy, holding the small kettle on her chest with both hands and smiling shyly.
"Everyone has come down and ran away. Auntie, come and give me a hug."
Zhong Xiaoyun was so happy that she picked up the little guy and gave him a kiss, which quickly made the brat happy. , rolling back and forth itchingly in Zhong Xiaoyun's arms, avoiding her teasing.
Then Zhong Xiaoyun had all the fun with the little guy before saying hello to Chen Ling.
“Mountain donkey meat tastes good. They say it is similar to veal. Try it.”
Zhong Xiaoyun was not polite, hugged Ruirui and asked him to go home: "You haven't gone to Amei's place yet. She has said that she came to your house to find you in the past two days. Aunt Hongyu's cow seems to be sick in the past two days. I’m sorry, but the medicine doesn’t work. I want you to help me take a look.”
