Chapter 457 What a coincidence
Sensing his wife’s gaze, Chen Ling smiled awkwardly. He couldn’t be blamed for this.
Wang Lixian also said it in his own home, and did not tell anyone else.
Who would have thought that their Liu Nier would lead people to catch gadflies.
After hearing that the eggs of chickens that eat gadflies are delicious, they don’t care about anything else. It’s all for the sake of eating.
"Where did you catch the gadfly?"
Asked, he took them into the farm and gave the pigs medicine.
“It’s right in Laohewan, where all the cattle in our village are grazed, and there are a lot of gadflies.”
Liu Nier became more energetic when she said this.
Then he took out the can and showed it to him. It was as densely packed as flies, filled with dead gadflies.
"You are really good at it. It doesn't matter if you get stung by a gadfly. If you go to the cows and kill the gadflies, you are not afraid of the cows kicking them."
Chen Ling said with a smile.
It takes a lot of effort to catch this thing and feed it to the chickens.
Only little babies have this energy and energy.
“Don’t be afraid, we are all familiar with those cows. Basically, we go to herd the cows with Sniffles and the others after school every day.
We helped those cows shoot gadflies, and they were all happy. ”
The cattle currently raised by the villagers are all half-grown cattle that have just grown up. The children often feed them. If they are often taken out to let them out, the cattle will soon become familiar with them.< br>
"Liu Nier is right, the medicine prepared by Aunt Susu is really effective, and it won't hurt anymore after applying it. ”
At this time, Zhu Wa’er’s scar had healed and he had forgotten the pain. Before his tears were wiped clean, he ran over with a smile and grabbed Liu Nier’s bottle of gadfly.
“Uncle Fugui, you I don’t know, the gadfly’s bite was really painful. I didn’t know why the cow felt so uncomfortable before. Good guy, when it bit me, it hurt so much that I almost jumped up. ”
The pig boy was gesticulating, with a look of fear on his little face covered with dirty sweat marks.
"They are a bunch of skinny monkeys, they deserve it."
Wang Lishan scratched his bald head and said with disgust: "You don't understand anything and you still catch gadflies? Gadflies are Is it so easy to catch?
If you catch something that can’t be driven away by running in front of someone, isn’t it better to catch something in a hurry? ”
This is the virtue of the gadfly. .
Unlike flies and mosquitoes, they will go away as soon as they are driven away.
As for the gadfly, no matter how much you drive it away, you can't even blast it away.
Fly around you in different ways and fight guerrilla with you.
I won’t stop until I bite you and suck your blood.
"Hmph, if you get stung once, it hurts once, and you will remember it next time. If your Aunt Susu's medicine hadn't worked, you would have been swollen for ten days and a half."
"Brother Tateyama, you need to apply a little of this ointment every day. It's hot now."
"Oh, okay, I heard Liu Ni'er said that he was almost in autumn last time, but he still applied it three times. It only takes four days to heal.
This gadfly is very poisonous. Without your medicine, it will be swollen for seven or eight days.”
There is a local saying: 'The closer you get, the better. Where there is water, the bugs are more poisonous. '
This gadfly is such a poisonous insect. The key is that it carries more germs. If it bites, it will be swollen, painful and itchy. The short one lasts seven or eight days, and the long one takes half a month. Talent is good.
Much more serious than flies, mosquitoes and the like.
Its mouthparts are also more powerful than flies and mosquitoes.
Chen Ling patted Liu Nier on the back: "You are the same, kid. I was bitten last year and you don't have a long memory. How can I catch gadflies with others? How many times can I feed the chickens with that thing?< br>
After it rained at night, there were so many dragonflies in the morning, so you might as well catch them. Now that there are few grasshoppers, you can catch cicadas and feed them to the chickens.”
Liu Nier scratched after hearing this. The head chuckled.
They little devils are nothing but greedy, and they only care about eating but not about fighting.
But everyone is quite sensible.
Knowing that Chen Ling’s house has a lot of delicious food, he would not come here to get it for nothing. He would come here every day to have a meal, and he didn’t need to be taught this by an adult.
So even if they are a little naughty, they will not cause trouble.
……
Because the curtains and mats from the past two years were worn out.
And the main house in the village also needs to be replaced with a new one.
So in the next few days, Chen Ling and his family weaved mats and curtains at home.
This curtain is also made of bamboo.
Use bamboo strips that are thinner than chopsticks, put them together one by one, string them together, tie them together with hemp rope, and seal the four sides of the curtain with cloth to prevent the bamboo strips from irritating your hands and form a whole , like a rolling shutter door, it can be rolled up.
Of course, because they are bamboo strips, they have gaps and are very ventilated.
Specially suitable for summer use.
At the same time, it can also prevent mosquitoes from flying into the room.
The weather is too hot, and Wang Susu, a pregnant woman, does not go to the village medicine shop for consultation.
The main reason is that fewer people get sick in summer.
Unless you have incurable diseases or minor illnesses, you generally don’t come to a traditional Chinese medicine store. If you have a headache or a fever, drink some granules, or just take a nap and rest to get over it.
Country people are not so delicate.
For example, Chen Ling went out to work a few years ago. At that time, he was working as a porter in Guangdong Province. He met a man in his fifties who still carried a 200-pound sack despite having a cold and fever. , without rest.
Just say sweat.
Chen Ling was dumbfounded. He couldn't carry two hundred pounds at that time.
Young people have strength, but it is often only for a short period of time. They are young and have not yet developed their tenacity, so they cannot work for a long time.
Not as good as an old guy in his fifties.
So the medicine shop was deserted, and Wang Susu was drying medicinal materials at home and weaving mats and curtains with Gao Xiulan and her mother.
Chen Ling did some rough work that they couldn't do, such as breaking bamboo strips, polishing burrs, and drilling holes in bamboo strips.
For the rest, change the water for the ornamental fish, feed them, and play with the turtles.
Or take the dog and eagle for a walk in the mountains in the morning and dusk.
Or ride a horse to pick up Wang Zhenzhen.
It’s quite pleasant.
After these few days of busy work, the peaches are beginning to ripen.
I just waited for Sun Yanhong to pick the peaches and take them away, and then I just waited for the tiger to come over.
Unexpectedly, Han Chuang suddenly rode a motorcycle to inform him and asked Chen Ling to drink his son's full moon wine.
Chen Ling then remembered that Jiang Xiaoqing became pregnant much earlier than his wife.
Han Chuang didn't come here for a while, not even during the Dragon Boat Festival. It turned out that he had given birth quietly.
Of course I have to go to the good brother’s children’s full moon wine.
So after breakfast that day, Chen Ling picked a basket of peaches, took some money, and rode over. The roads in the county are now repaired.
Even the roads in Huangni Town have been built. In the past, it was impossible to pass through Huangni Town when it rained. Now it is spacious and flat, so there is no need to detour. The little green horse is running happily all the way.
Having a lively full moon drink at Han Chang’s house.
Now Chen Ling is well-known. When his name is mentioned, most people know him, let alone Huangni Town, which is the place where Lingyun has its factory.
As soon as that guy heard that it was him, everyone toasted him.
Seeing this, Han Chuang didn't feel like he was being robbed of the limelight at all, but was extremely happy and proud.
In the end, Chen Ling was not drunk, but got him drunk.
Just get drunk.
Unexpectedly, the next day, this guy came over on his motorcycle to look for Chen Ling before he even sobered up.
Said he was picking peaches for his family.
This guy is tall and strong, and he is indeed a good worker.
But the smell of alcohol hasn’t dissipated from his body yet, why are he still picking peaches? Let’s drink a cup of tea to wake up first.
"Ling, Lingzi, let me ask you, sister-in-law, has there been any change before and after giving birth to the baby? Just this change in temper."
Han Chuang After drinking two cups of tea, his eyes gradually became clearer, and he pulled Chen Ling and asked in a low voice.
“Change in temper?”
Chen Ling smiled: "Nothing has changed, why are you asking this suddenly?"
"Hey, my brother, you don't know, Xiaoqing, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, has, that has changed, It's like a different person..."
Han Chuang said with a sad face: "She was so gentle before, but now she starts to lose her temper with me, always saying that I didn't do well here and there. I'm not good at what I do.
He also said that I don't do anything at home all day long and I can't make any money.
He scolds me at every turn.
After losing my temper, I still cried and felt so angry that I was so angry that my head was as big as two heads. "
Speaking of this, the 1.9-meter-tall man almost cried.
"Hahaha, so that's what you're talking about. "
Chen Ling understood immediately and patted his shoulder sympathetically: "During pregnancy, a woman's mood will inevitably be unstable. This is normal. Your sister-in-law became special when she gave birth to Ruirui. Nagging. "
I thought to myself, no wonder he ran over just after finishing the full moon wine. It turned out that he came to hide.
So he said to him again: "At this time, don't make Xiaoqing angry at home. It's normal for you to be a little more angry just after confinement... Many mothers are anxious and depressed during pregnancy. You can talk to Xiaoqing's classmates and friends about this. I think Yesterday, there were many people who came over and asked me to come home to chat and talk when I had nothing to do. "
"Uh, Lingzi, you, you, you mean that this situation is normal, right? "
Han Chuang's eyes widened, and then he quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought Xiaoqing was really so impatient with me. We have only been married for more than a year..."
" What are you thinking about?"
Chen Ling looked at him speechlessly, "Don't you and Xiaoqing like rabbits? A friend left a nest of rabbits here before, so you didn't take them with you when you left. Take it back and play with it.
There are also two litters of kittens, crosses between mountain civets and domestic cats. If you want, I will catch two for you. These little things are very cute. Take them back to make you two happy. "
Han Chuang's face lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Just a rabbit, it's easy to keep a little rabbit." "
Then he said with some embarrassment: "Lingzi, when you mentioned this, I suddenly remembered that Xiaoqing said that he wanted to eat crayfish like yours. Can you teach me how to do it? "
"That's easy to say. Don't talk about crayfish. When you go back, I will bring you some fried cicadas and fried fish. I can't pick all the peaches in one day. Come here tomorrow. I'll bring you some more. ”
Chen Ling smiled slightly. It is normal for pregnant women to want to eat something heavy in oil and salt to satisfy their cravings after giving birth.
Controlling your diet during pregnancy can make you sick.
Wang Susu was like this at the time. He didn't know what was going on.
"Hey, I said I came to you, Ling Zi, you know."
When Han Chuang heard this, he understood what was going on, and his face flushed with excitement. Hong, hoping that delicious food can cure his wife's bad temper.
At this time he finally sobered up.
The two of them packed up and went outside to the orchard to pick the ripe peaches from the peach trees.
Chen Ling’s peaches this year taste better than apricots.
Wash the peach hair clean and break it open. It is crispy and sweet. The peach flesh inside is obviously red, and the redder the place, the sweeter it is.
Not only sweet, but also juicy.
But at the same time, it is more susceptible to insect bites than apricots.
Before, Chen Ling thought about waiting for the peaches to be fully ripe before picking them. He could just take them away in one trip, but now, the ripe peaches are very sweet and attract too many insect bites, so he decided to forget it.
Pick as many as they are ripe and let the little sheep take them away.
Xu was counting on Chen Ling to make delicious food for him.
Han Chuang is a very energetic guy.
Carrying the ladder, I followed Chen Ling to finish picking from this tree and then from the next tree.
Before noon, I had already picked two and a half baskets of peaches.
Chen Ling saw that the sun was getting hot, so he asked him to take a rest. Otherwise, going up to a tree to pick peaches would be different from hiding under a tree. The sun would make people dizzy.
Drinking some water and eating two teeth of watermelon, the two took their net bags and buckets to the reservoir to catch crayfish.
“Ling, Lingzi, when are you going to kill the tiger?”
“It’s coming soon, we’ll be here in a few days.”
The two of them walked and chatted. When they arrived at the reservoir, there was no one there on this hot day, and they were not interested in staying longer. They quickly took off their shoes and went into the water, touched more than half a bucket of shrimps, and then called it a day and went back.
"Hey? Crabs? There are a lot of crabs under this rock. Can we catch crabs?"
As soon as he put on his shoes, Han Chuang found a crab hiding under the rock he was sitting on. , turned over the side, there are almost every stone.
"Why are you catching that? It's not the time to eat crabs yet. The crabs now have very little crab paste and crab roe, so there is no way to eat them."
Chen Ling shook his head. You can’t catch them. These crabs can be eaten fried, but to be honest, they don’t have much meat, so they might as well fry a pot of scorpions.
"Actually, the eel at this time is more delicious. I will put down two eel cages tonight. When you come tomorrow, we will cook two more dishes."
Han Chuang suddenly became energetic. In addition to crayfish, Chen Ling's family also has He was thinking about this bite of eel. The first time he came to his house, he ate the eel, which he still cannot forget.
Speaking of this eel, Han Chuang slapped his forehead: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. My brother wanted to ask you yesterday, but after thinking about it, the full moon wine is a happy event. , I didn’t mention it at the time...
My brother’s canning factory is not doing well this year, and it’s a bit difficult to continue.
It seems that it can no longer can canned meat, and also canned fruits. It’s hard to do. I’d like to ask your opinion on what to do now.”
They all think that Chen Ling's vision is very good. He can make a lot of money without worrying about it on weekdays. How can his vision be so bad?
Besides, the people who associate with Chen Ling are all very powerful people in their eyes. If you ask him, they will definitely be right.
“Xiaoqing actually got angry with me because of this matter, saying that it would be hard to do anything this year, and many young people have gone out to work. My brother meant the same thing, and it was really impossible for us two brothers to go out to work. Go make money, Xiaoqing is very opposed to it, alas..."
When Chen Ling heard this, he pondered for a while and said: "If you ask me, there is nothing bad about this cannery...it's too busy outside. Hot, let’s talk about it in detail when we get home.”
Recently, my second uncle, Wang Qingzhong, also wrote a letter saying that he would follow his advice and prepare to start a cultural shirt business.
Han Chuang also mentioned this matter now, it was a coincidence, they happened to be together.
