My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 238 Ginseng

  Wang Susu is a smart woman, ingenious and quick to learn.

  Chen Ling taught her. After using the camera a few times, she became familiar with how to use it. She kept taking pictures of women and children who were holding fish and shrimps and laughing in the rain.

   After playing around for a while, everyone had a good time, so they let Chen Ling and Wang Susu hold the child, and the family of three stood under the eaves to take pictures.

   After the photo was taken, I added my father-in-law and a big family to take a group photo.

   In the end, everyone looked hot and simply stood together. Lynx and Rhododendron alternately stood out to take pictures, and took a few big group photos.

   Not to mention the joy and excitement.

Even the little guy in Wang Susu's arms opened his eyes and hummed, "Yah, ah," and uttered a few simple and vague syllables. He looked at Chen Ling, who was smiling beside Wang Susu, with round eyes that didn't blink. I don't know if I can recognize this is his father now.

   "Yo, Rui Rui, I will take you a picture of the full moon, you stinky boy will be very happy too."

  Chen Ling teased him with a smile, but he really cooperated with him and kept humming.

The little guy is the same almost every day. From the red and wrinkled skin when he was born, he has now become a little tender meat with milky white all over his body. He also gradually began to have little meat like the lotus root. It looks smooth and cute, and it smells with a sweet milky fragrance.

   If Chen Ling was okay every day, he would want to hold his son and not let go.

Liang Hongyu smiled at their young couple and said, "Everyone said yesterday that this full moon wine is really fresh in my memory. Later, when Rui Rui grew up, he would have to tell him that on the day he made the full moon wine for this stinky boy, it rained so badly. One big, and when I woke up the next morning, there were still fish and shrimp jumping all over the floor."

  Everyone laughed along, and went up to tease the little guy for a while.

  Rui Rui is now after the full moon, as long as she is well protected, she will be fine if she stays outside for a while.

   And as long as strangers don't hug him and just tease him, he won't cry.

   However, everyone was amused for a while, and the little guy was sleepy again. After yawning twice with his mouth open, he began to sleep soundly every day in Wang Susu's arms.

  …

  It was raining intermittently outside, and everyone would definitely not be able to leave today, so they all went back to their rooms to wash and change their clothes, and then sat together for breakfast.

   After breakfast, the group of them helped Chen Ling to tidy up the things that the guests sent yesterday and put them in order.

   As for their families, except for Han Chuang, they all came here ahead of time. They had already given the things they should have given, and they were not the same as those in the countryside, so there was no need to put them together.

   "Huh? Aling, this Liu Xiangqian was the deputy county magistrate who came to look for Fifth Uncle yesterday. Why did they give us a follower?"

  Wang Susu looked at the gift list beside him, and suddenly cried out in surprise.

   "Ah? I don't know, how much did you give?"

   There were a lot of people here yesterday. Chen Ling patronized and toasted with the guests. He didn't say a few words to the leaders. He really didn't notice this.

   "Everyone gave a hundred."

  Wang Susu glanced at the gift list, and suddenly said: "Oh, it turned out that they gave it, I said why there are a few hundred in the money."

Liang Hongyu said: "If you give it to you, you will receive it. Yesterday, there was a full moon wine. They swaggered over to find it. They were originally disturbing. Fugui also arranged a banquet for them. ."

   She had never seen anything, so she naturally knew what these people were thinking, she just saw them here.

   But she didn't want to talk too much with Chen Ling and the couple, she just let them accept it with peace of mind.

   Chen Ling guessed some things, but didn't say much, and continued to take people to clean up.

  Eggs, ducks, eggs, etc., put them together with the eggs and ducks at home. After saving enough, choose a day with good weather, and pull it to the county town to sell it.

   All kinds of food and all kinds of fabrics sent by    are kept, the fabrics are folded and placed in the cabinet, and the food is usually eaten.

   Others are reluctant to eat at home, but their family has nothing to bear, especially Wang Zhenzhen, who also takes food at home to school.

   After packing up the gifts, seeing that the rain stopped outside, everyone picked up tools to help Chen Ling drain the water inside and outside the farm.

  The topography of the farm and the orchard is relatively high. All you need to do is go outside and dig through the ditch that Chen Ling had irrigated the farmland, and let the excess water drain into the large farmland to the south of the orchard.

  The more people there are, the faster they can do it. This is nothing at all.

After   , the chicken coop, duck pen, quail coop, and sheep pen also need to be cleaned and drained.

   When it comes to things involving small animals, the dolls are more energetic than adults, and they are all scrambling to run in with their brooms.

Little Fatty likes cows and sheep very much, so he and Xiaotongtong brothers rushed to clean, and said with dignity: "I came to my uncle's house to help my uncle to work. I like to work the most. me."

  Little Chestnut hurriedly raised his little hand and said, "Me too, I want to help uncle clean where Xiaobai lives."

  Chen Ling had to say: "Xiaobai is not here, he doesn't live here, he lives in the village."

   "Why is this, uncle." The two little guys raised their heads and asked him, their eyes were obviously a little lost. The little white cow is the most popular among the children.

   "Because Xiaobai is a family-loving cow, he is used to the village's home and is unwilling to live here."

   "Ah? Why is Xiaobai so stupid that he doesn't come to the farm to live in a big house." The little fat man frowned.

  Xiao Lizi said angrily: "You speak ill of Xiaobai, I told my aunt not to let it carry you in the future."

"I do not have."

   "You just said it."

   The two little guys quarreled.

Xiaotongtong and the others took the opportunity to quickly pick up their brooms and ran into the quail house. Compared with chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep, they prefer these little things, and the eggs they lay are delicious. They come to the farm for two or three days to pick up quails every day. Eggs, pick them up and cook them.

  The adults looked on happily and didn't care. The little kids said that work was actually just for fun, and they still had to rely on them.

   Then quickly clean up everywhere.

After finishing the   , the sky in the east became brighter, and there were crisp bird calls from the mountains, and the sky seemed to clear up a bit.

  I was idle, and everyone helped Chen Ling clean up the bowls and dishes, and sent the tables, chairs and benches to the village.

  Zhao Dahai's pickup was parked behind the farm. After loading things into the car, he slowly drove out. Chen Ling led the adults and a group of Boy Scouts out, admiring the scenery after the rain, while walking into the village.

   The heavy rain this time was even heavier than last time. All the crops in the farmland were submerged. Only some greenery could be seen on the high slopes, and all other places were flooded by the rain.

  In the morning, some villagers braved the rain to drain the corn seedlings on the farmland. Even now, there are still many people, wearing water shoes and straw hats, working in the corn fields.

   Seeing Chen Ling and the others coming over, they all said hello and asked about the situation of the dolls at home, Chen Ling stopped to chat with a smile.

   was talking about the doll, and without saying a few words, the cry of the "doll" came from the front.

   This cry was so miserable and sharp that it actually suppressed the voice of Zhao Dahai's car.

   "Whose baby is crying? Crying so badly?"

   Everyone present was stunned for a moment, looking for the source of the sound. When people were stunned, the three dogs behind Chen Ling had already rushed out.

   shouted in his mouth, and went straight to the direction of the wheat field.

  Wang Zhenzhen hurried over with the Boy Scouts.

  The adults followed suit.

   When he got closer, he realized that the cry was coming from the woods around the threshing field, but after the dog and the people came over, they stopped crying all of a sudden.

  People are relieved, it means it's not a real baby crying here.

But it's useless not to cry. Heiwa and Xiaojin had discovered the abnormal place long ago. , accidentally dug the surrounding land too deep, thus lowering the terrain and sinking into a place.

   Later, trees were planted for people to rest and enjoy the shade after working in the wheat field, so now they are all submerged by stagnant water, and the water is not shallow.

After    Heiwa and Xiaojin rushed into the woods, they swam in one direction. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be a pile of cinders and dung, which seemed very high among the trees.

   "Quick, quick look, there is something up there." Han Chuang shouted with his eyes wide open.

   Sure enough, then the two dogs swam over quickly, the sharp cry resounded again, and there were several small figures on the cinder pile flapping.

   Others were so frightened that they jumped into the water with a "thump, thump", and their little heads floated up and down in the stagnant water in the woods, fleeing in all directions.

   But they don't seem to be good at swimming, and their speed is extremely slow. They were quickly caught by Heiwa Xiaojin and caught back.

   At this time, everyone saw what it was, and they were amazed.

   "It's a rabbit, why does a rabbit call like that?"

  Liang Yuemin hurriedly backed away, looking startled by the cry.

  The little dolls standing beside them also had pale faces. They squeezed together and looked at the two hares with wet and messy grass-yellow fur on the ground, a little stunned and scared.

   "That's right, it's so scary, I'm panicking." Several women also frowned and said.

   Heiwa Xiaojin ignored all this, ran back and forth several times, and caught all the hares in the woods.

   Even the little rabbits on the cinder and dung heaps choked back with their mouths.

   It is said to be a small rabbit, but it is not a small one. Many of them are half-sized hares that have just grown up in late spring, and there are only three or four old rabbits.

   Being surrounded by people, they were very panicked, but they were stared at by three dogs, and there was deep water around them, and they couldn't run out.

   Listening to it makes people feel panic, can't help but think of goosebumps.

Chen Ling grabbed the rabbit's ears and lifted the two up, observed it carefully, and said, "That's what rabbits call this. This should be a family of two rabbits. The storms last afternoon and night flooded their nests. I ran away from the village where the water was not deep, and ended up being trapped on the cinder and dung piles in the woods here.

   "You saw it just now, these rabbits are so weak now that they don't have the strength to run away, otherwise they wouldn't bark like that."

   "Uncle, they are so pitiful, can we save them?" Xiao Lizi's eyes turned red after hearing this.

   Even Little Fatty, a glutton, nodded again and again, begging Chen Ling to save them.

   The Xiaotongtong brothers also shouted.

   "No need to save, they are trapped in water and can't escape, and they are frightened. We can find a place where there is no water and let them go."

  Chen Ling listened to the miserable cries of these hares, and his heart was filled with emotion. It was really uncomfortable to hear the sound of having a baby, and he couldn't take it back.

   "Is it really impossible to save wealth?"

   Several women are a little soft-hearted and feel pitiful for rabbits.

   "It's really impossible to save. The wild rabbit is very angry. After stress, if you catch it and save it, it's easy to die of anger. It's better to find a place to put it."

   It is more accurate to say that it is death from anger.

  Rabbits are inherently timid and cannot be frightened. After being caught in the house, they will even crash into cages or walls and die.

   is a country term.

   is actually scary.

   "That's it, uncle, we'll help you."

   "Uncle, we will help you too."

   "No, you don't need your help. Now the rabbits will bite people in a hurry, in case they hurt you."

  Chen Ling hurriedly stopped them, took the adults to grab the rabbits, and put them on a not-too-distant **** with no stagnant water, watching them run quickly into the grass and disappear.

   "Why are you rich? Whose baby is crying?"

   "Oh, it's not a baby crying, it's a bunch of wild bunnies, it's like crying."

After Chen Ling finished speaking, many villagers' faces changed, and they all said that the wild rabbits were not barking, but were crying in this rainy day. Fortunately, Chen Ling didn't greedy to eat them and brought them home, but let them go, otherwise he would be wronged. It will definitely rain heavily this year, and maybe there will be a flood.

   After Chen Ling went to the village to return the tables, chairs, benches and other things to each family, someone called Mrs. Xiufen, and then dragged him to the reservoir dam to burn incense for Lord Long, and recited a few good words.

   This guy stunned Liang Yuemin and others.

Wang Qingwen explained: "Being relying on mountains and rivers, there are some things that you can't believe. Although I also think that rabbit barking and heavy rain are things that can't be beat, but many people believe that there is no way. If you don't believe it, you can ask Qingzhong and let him. He will tell you."

   "I've heard it, I've heard what Ah Zhong said, it's very interesting." After getting acquainted with it, Lynx no longer looked so cool that strangers were not allowed to enter, and excitedly talked about what she heard in Lutoushan last time.

   even told the story of the gluttonous ghost, the mandrill.

   "What are you talking about, the children are here." Du Juan interrupted him without saying a word.

   As a result, the little dolls were dissatisfied for a while: "Auntie Du Juan, please let Uncle Zhong continue to talk. We love listening to this and will not be afraid."

   made Du Juan stunned for a while.

"Haha, it's alright, the Bobcats can continue to talk. You have to listen sooner or later. Children, if you listen to a lot, you will naturally understand the truth. You can't show him nothing or let him listen to everything. It's not helping him or hurting him." Liang Yuemin It looks very open.

  Who didn’t like to listen to ghost stories when they were young? But when you grow up, you will naturally be able to distinguish the true from the false, so don't worry.

After    Lynx listened, he agreed: "It's still brother Yuemin who is sensible."

   Then he glanced at Du Juan and continued to speak. After speaking one after another, the little dolls were rarely quiet.

   He said that he was not afraid, but in fact his little body was crowded together, but he couldn't help but want to hear it, and urged Bobcat to talk more, which made Bobcat's mouth dry.

  Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan accompanied Liang Hongyu and his wife to watch them lively downstairs. Wang Cunye sighed softly: "How good it is now, if Brother Juncai is still here, he must be overjoyed to see his family like this now."

   Gao Xiulan nodded: "Yeah, my father-in-law is a hard one, and he finally brought up the baby. He just got married and his family is gone, and he has no life to enjoy."

   They were talking, and Liang Hongyu was actually even more uncomfortable hearing this. The mistake made by her sister almost killed the father and son for the rest of their lives.

   Through the villagers of Chenwangzhuang, she and Qin Rongxian also knew what happened to Chen Ling and his father in the village, especially what Chen Ling was like, almost crooked.

   pretended to be chatting, and asked inadvertently, "Fugui's father has never heard Fugui talk about it, what kind of person is he?"

   Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan both shook their heads and didn't want to say more. The two of them said it was fine and didn't want to tell outsiders.

   smiled at Liang Hongyu: "His father is not a person who enjoys happiness, but wealth is good fortune. He can know people like you and make friends with you."

   The change of the topic made Liang Hongyu feel depressed and aggrieved for a while, "Haha, rich and noble personality, can play tricks in everything, not to mention the children at home, we all like to come and play with their young couple when we are okay."

   "Yeah, Fugui also made me a slingshot, so I can shoot birds." Qin Rong said happily.

The four old people also started chatting, but the little yellow dog ran upstairs with something in his mouth, walked up to Wang Cunye, lay down and nibbled boringly. After he came here, he learned a lot from Heiwa Xiaojin's ass. The ability, very early know to take things into the house.

Maybe it is a worthless dog by nature. After patronizing and playing, the things it is holding are all kinds of strange things, nothing serious. Even the used batteries outside the village that I don’t know have been lost for a few years are picked up at home. Wang Cunye taught it a few times. If you don't listen, you hide it like a baby.

   "Huh? What is this?"

   During the chat, Qin Rong first got up and poured water, and inadvertently his eyes fell on the food in the mouth of the little yellow dog, and he was stunned for a moment.

First look at what he thought was a soft carrot, and then take a closer look. This thing is the thickness of two fingers, the withered yellow skin is a circle of dense annular horizontal stripes, and there are three lateral roots with the same legs. The tiny fibrous roots like shrunken hair look familiar.

   "Cunye, Cunye, look at your dog, don't you bring back the root of ginseng?!"
