My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 123 Construction

   As the saying goes: Money is the courage of man.

  The food at home sold for so much money at once, and Wang Susu was very happy, but it was rare to let go.

   After a while, he wrote about half a sheet of paper in a small notebook, densely packed, full of things to buy.

Chen Ling glanced at it. In addition to what he had just mentioned, there were two sets of quilts, bed surrounds, etc. to be re-purchased. In the last two lines, it was written to buy some good fabrics and prepare some decent clothes for him to drink tea. He bought a few pairs of leather shoes to prepare, and it is convenient to wear them when going out to do some errands in the future.

   "Susu, write down what you want to buy, don't keep buying it for me, I still have enough clothes and shoes."

  Chen Ling saw that apart from what he needed at home, nothing else belonged to Wang Susu himself, so he couldn't help reminding him.

Wang Susu was stunned when she heard the words, she bit the pen and blinked. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and smiled at him: "I really don't have anything to buy, I have everything to eat and wear at home. When we got married, my mother gave me the fabric. Also, after two years of pressing the bottom of the box, if you want to make new clothes, you can take them out and make them."

   "Nonsense."

   "That idea of ​​fabric is enough to make a few clothes."

Chen Ling pinched her little nose and said: "It's not that our family has no money now. Today's trip to leeks is relatively cheap, and the sales are not too many. If we bring all the vegetables in the family and sell them, it will cost two to three thousand yuan. Yuan households are all there."

"It's not that we earn one, spend two, and when we can't save money, think about how many eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs have been piled up at home, and we can sell them for a lot of money, so I say, my silly daughter-in-law. Ah, our family is not the same as before, you should get yourself some new clothes."

"Humph."

   "Buy and buy."

  Wang Susu dodged his big hand, wrinkled her little nose and snorted at him, thinking that her life was indeed getting better and better, her big eyes were bent into crescents.

Today is the 19th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is exactly the day when the county town has a fair, but there is nothing for sale in these few sets. After breakfast, the two walked around the county town for a long time, looking for large and small shops and shops. Just buy everything you need.

   It was almost eleven o'clock when I was rushing home.

Mainly because they also met Qin Rongxian and Liang Hongyu during the period. The old couple took them into the house and sat down for a while. Before leaving, they wanted them to bring a few bags of rice noodles. This is because they knew that there was a shortage of food, and they were worried that he would take care of people when he built a new house. There is nothing to cook for a meal.

   Just how could Chen Ling want it? It’s not a short time to meet the old couple. From the old turtle at the beginning, to the later rice dumplings, and now to the rice noodles, every time I see the two old people, I send them here and there. Rice, some peanuts and vegetables, nothing else.

   Thinking about it, Chen Ling couldn't help but feel ashamed. This is not a relative, not a relationship. How could he just take advantage of the two old people, and quickly pulled Wang Susu to persuade them to stop. Then, taking advantage of the excuse to go to the toilet, he slipped into the kitchen to add two buckets of stream water, and felt a little more at ease.

"Actually, Uncle Qin and Aunt Hongyu are right. There is a shortage of food everywhere. No matter the city or the village, everyone is worried about food. Let's prepare it in advance, or wait until the house is built. There's nothing left for rice noodles."

  Wang Susu obviously listened to the old couple's words, and was worried in this regard.

   "Indeed, it's time to stock up on food. I'll go around when I come to sell vegetables tomorrow."

  Chen Ling thought about it, apart from the little relief food distributed at home, it was just a few bags of flour given by Chen Yingqiang, and there is not much left now. People will come to build the house in a few days, and after a few meals, they will basically eat up.

So while rushing on the road, Chen Ling pondered, finding a place to plant some wheat and rice in Dongtian these few days. Grinding the noodles, or doing it yourself, the stone grinding in the backyard has not been useful.

   This is not a big deal.

  …

   "It's wealth and nobility."

   "Look, Fugui and Susu are back, they are all right."

   "Uncle Fifth, what's wrong?"

   As soon as they got off the dam and entered the village, the ox cart was surrounded by people, leaving Chen Ling and the two at a loss.

   "What time do you go to the morning market at night?"

   "Three o'clock, what's up?"

   "Have you met a wolf on the road?"

  Wang Laishun slumped his old face the color of soy sauce, his eyes were red, and at first glance, he didn't sleep well.

   Hearing this, the young couple immediately understood what was going on, looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

   "I didn't see it, I just walked halfway up the mountain road and heard the wolf howling. What's wrong, Uncle, did the wolf enter the village?"

   "When I entered the village, I didn't enter the village. If it wasn't for the dogs barking at night and making every household quarreled, maybe the wolves would have really touched the village."

  Wang Laishun sighed heavily.

He raised his head and glanced at the two of them: "You two will be fine, but last night, my boss and Li Xian were terrified, and they took someone to look for you on the mountain road with torches for several times, and then they all ran to the market. I searched, but I didn't see any of you, so I thought something happened to the two of you."

  Chen Ling was stunned for a while when he heard the words, and then smiled bitterly. The vegetables were sold too fast. Even if Wang Jusheng and the others went to find them, there would probably be no one left.

   While talking here, Wang Jusheng and his wife had hurried over with two dolls. They gave Chen Ling a punch before meeting: "You kid, you scared me."

Wang Lixian also followed with his family, walked up and took a few glances, and when he saw that the young couple were all well, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine, I said last time at my house, the wolf in the mountains these days. There is nothing to do in the future, so don't walk at night."

  Chen Ling responded, smiled and nodded to several people, feeling warm in his heart.

   then winked at Wang Susu, and the two grabbed two handfuls of candy bars from the bag and distributed them to the little dolls in the crowd, causing the little dolls to cheer.

   At this time, people noticed what was on the ox cart.

   "Yo, Fugui is making a fortune. After selling vegetables, I came back to pull such a half-cart of things."

   "That's right, you've made a fortune, go for a walk, and come to my house to drink at noon today."

  Chen Ling greeted with a smile.

   "What to drink, you baby is still the same, you can't save money in your hand."

   "Why is the money hot?"

   "Haha, Fifth Uncle can't stand it anymore. You should save your wealth and wealth. Just wait for your family to build a house and take good care of us."

  “…”

   "It's not easy. After the vegetables are sold, I'll be ready to build a house, and then I'll have meat."

   "Good guy, dare to say this, it seems that your baby is really hairy."

Most of the villagers have been familiar with Chen Ling for a while now, and they were laughing and laughing while rushing home. When they were about to get home, Chen Ling invited him again, but no one was willing to go. The wolf made a fuss last night. I haven't slept well, and I'm about to eat lunch to catch up with sleep. How can I still have the energy to go to his house to drink.

   So after the two returned home, they ate hastily and took a break.

   When the weather was cooler in the evening, I sent orders to every household who came to help before, as a little bit of care.

In the next few days, Chen Ling originally planned to go to sell vegetables by herself, but after Wang Susu went there, she also wanted to go with her. She has nothing to do at home recently, so she stayed at home by herself. So, just take her with you.

   The rest of the dishes were sold six times in total. The two of them had breakfast every day to rush to the city. After they were sold, they saved the money, and they could rush home at about ten o’clock.

In the first two trips, Chen Ling came forward to bargain with others, and Wang Susu followed the bookkeeping. Later, when she got acquainted with it, she also became interested and helped Chen Ling together. Before selling a lot of money, Chen Ling called out that his little daughter-in-law had been damaged by himself.

  Wang Susu laughed when she heard it, but she couldn't get tired of it. Not only vegetables, but also eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs at home had been disposed of.

   Finally, adding 15,000 yuan for selling eel, the money in the passbook has exceeded 60,000 yuan.

   makes the little daughter-in-law look dizzy and feel like a dream.

   "If I hadn't followed me every day, I couldn't believe that the vegetables and two baskets of eggs and duck eggs in our family's three acres of land could sell for so much money."

   "Yeah, that is to say, in the event of this year, if you want to sell it at this price in the future, there will be no chance."

   "That's okay, that's enough."

   The little daughter-in-law was very satisfied, sitting on the bed holding the passbook, with a happy smile on her face.

   Then he calculated the account with his fingers and told Chen Ling that it would not be a problem to support seven or eight babies with this money.

  I just didn't expect that this sentence made Chen Ling angry, and as soon as he took off his shoes, he climbed into the mosquito net. Of course it was good to have seven or eight dolls, but he had to come out and talk about it.

   "Oh, no, I haven't eaten yet."

   "Don't eat, there is something more filling than rice."

  …

   After Chen Ling's hard work every night, he has accumulated more than 20 bags of wheat in the cave.

When he went to the city to sell vegetables before, Wang Susu reminded him not to forget to buy food, but let him find an excuse to delay it later. In fact, the food in many food stores and even food stations is not very good, and many are mixed with old food. It was also sold at a particularly high price, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. How could Chen Ling spend that unjust money.

   After the vegetables were sold, I went to the city again, and then came back with a cart full of wheat.

  Influenced by his thoughts, Dongtian can be dehydrated and squeezed dry, and wheat can be ground into flour without drying, which is more convenient. Just put it at home and store it up. When the rice noodles at home are finished, go to grind the noodles and use them as you like.

  The vegetables are sold out, the food is ready, and the next step is to build a house, but Chen Ling didn't have time to tell anyone, just went to the city engineering team and asked a few words, and the village was fried.

   "The rich and noble are building houses, and the rich and noble are starting to build houses. If you have nothing to do at home, come and help."

   "Come here, motherfucker, this baby has helped this house to that house all day long, and other people's houses have been built and moved in. He's not in a hurry, and I've been thinking about it for half a month."

   "Shit, I don't think you're thinking about building a house, you're thinking about going to his house to eat."

   "Haha, all, all."

   On the twenty-eighth day of the seventh lunar month, a large group of people arrived at Chen Ling's house after breakfast. The guy's yard was full of people.

"Shuiwazi, Dajiang, Laozhu, you guys will go to the backyard to demolish the wall first, I will go to Lihui's house to drive the donkey cart over, we will cut down the two trees in the backyard later, otherwise it will be a hindrance to work. "

   "Uncle Dazhi, Uncle Fugui has an ox cart."

   "It's not enough. Besides, the bull raised by your rich and noble uncle has a bad temper. He won't work without him. It's too long."

   Chen Dazhi directed a pass, and the two brothers Chen Ze and Wang Lishan went to the backyard to demolish the wall.

Wang Lixian took another group of people to demolish the old house in the backyard. This time, the two of them are in charge. Except for Chen Guoping, this generation is the eldest of them, especially Wang Lixian who has been on the construction team for nearly ten years. , speak convincingly.

   "Rich, rich, did you borrow the saw?"

   "Borrowed, which one shall we saw first?"

Chen Ling drove the ox cart to Chen Sangui's house and pulled a big saw back. The trees in the front yard were fine, they didn't use much, and the two old locust trees in the back yard were out of place. Dam, if you keep it, your work will be affected very much. You have no choice but to cut it off.
