My 1995 Small Farm

  Chen Ling's family came to the city this time mainly to take Wang Susu and the children out to play while taking advantage of the opportunity of attending Shan Mao's wedding.

  Now that the wedding is over and the fun is over, there is no need for the young couple to stay longer in the city, so they start to pack their things and prepare to go home.

   But before they go home, the two of them still have to help Qin Qiumei with things, but it's not a big deal, just go to the post office with the ID to pick up the remittance from her man.

   It's just that the amount is not small, and it's more convenient to do it here in the city.

  For Chen Ling, this is not a troublesome matter, he will take care of it on the way, and he can leave after finishing it.

  However, Shanmao and Zhao Dahai's two elders, as well as Han Ninggui, were too enthusiastic and tried their best to keep them.

   At this time, Rui Rui just called Dad, and Chen Lingren was in high spirits on happy occasions, and he didn't refuse.

  Wang Susu and Wang Susu held their son in their arms all day, eating at the host’s house today and the west’s house tomorrow, going to other people’s houses for dinner every day, and also cooking with them.

   This stay is another four or five days.

   Playing is really fun.

  But after staying in the city for more than ten days, Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan at home became anxious, thinking that something happened to them in the city.

  …

  At noon this day, Chen Ling and Wang Susu were busy making dumplings in the kitchen.

  Ruirui is crawling all over the floor in the living room guarding a bunch of toys bought by new uncles, aunts, grandparents.

   After staying here for more than ten days, the house has become more and more like a warm little home with the hostess and children living in it.

   Even 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 the beginning.

  The young couple called Liang Yuemin's family today and asked them to come eat dumplings at noon.

   After all, I met them once after coming here for so many days, and it happened to coincide with the wedding of Bobcats that I didn’t have a good time to reminisce about the past, but we should get together again.

   After the gathering, it is not too late for them to leave tomorrow.

  The two made dumplings and chatted. After twelve o'clock noon, after a short wait, three members of Liang Yuemin's family came to the door.

  After entering the door, Liu Yinhuan washed his hands and prepared to help make dumplings, while praising Chen Ling that he did a good job this time, but he brought Susu and the child out to play.

  Liang Yuemin also said that he knew that they had been out for so many days this time, so he had to take them to the capital, to see Tiananmen Square, and to visit 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 two little guys played while playing. feed the dog.

   And 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 his own home, and at this time he really wants to express himself.

   "Okay, then you can help uncle pick it up first, so that no one will hang up, uncle will come over after washing his hands."

  Chen Lingzheng was talking with Liang Yuemin and his wife, when he heard this, he responded, and hurriedly got up to wash his hands.

  Liang Yuemin poked his head out of the kitchen to remind his son: "Xiao Ming, be polite when helping uncle answer the phone..."

   "I know, I'm the most polite."

  The little fat man answered loudly, and ran to the bedroom to answer the phone.

   Seeing this, Ruirui hurriedly crawled on all fours and quickly followed him. A little white dog followed behind him, wagging its tail, and happily followed into the bedroom.

   At this time, the little fat man picked up the phone and asked in very standard Mandarin: "Hi, who are you looking for?"

   This immediately made the person on the phone stunned for a moment: "Ah? Isn't this a rich family? Why is it a doll who answered the phone?"

   "Uncle Cunye, don't misspell the phone number that Fugui gave you, it wasn't Fugui who called you, it was a doll talking."

   "No, this phone number is correct, Ling Zi also gave it to others."

  Wang Cunye held a note and said doubtfully, he knew that Chen Ling had given Little Sheep this phone number.

Hearing the familiar voice, the little fat man immediately knew who was on the other side, and yelled into the phone: "Grandpa Wang, I'm Xiao Ming, I'm Xiao Ming, my uncle is making dumplings in the kitchen, and his hands are covered with flour. , Washing hands."

  The little fat man chattered a lot. He was too close to the microphone, and his voice was too loud. At this time, the phone is prone to noise. The person who answered the phone couldn't quite hear what he said, but after Ruirui crawled over, he curiously followed the little fat man's babbling, and the other side heard it.

  Wang Cunye was especially excited: "It's Ruirui, it's my grandson talking on the phone, so I said that the phone number cannot be written wrong."

   As he spoke, he snatched the phone.

   It happened that Chen Ling came over after washing his hands. Hearing the old man's voice, he quickly put the phone in his hand. He also thought that something was going on at home, and the old man was so anxious to call him.

   Finally, after a few words, I realized that it was because I had stayed in the city for too long, and my family was worried.

  So he quickly said that he would go back tomorrow, and called Wang Susu over to talk.

"You two are really serious, why did you ask a little doll to answer the phone? We thought we made a mistake and almost hung up. Fortunately, we heard Ruirui yelling over there. Hehe, I knew it was my grandson's voice. No typo."

   "Father, that little baby is Xiao Ming from Brother Yue Min's family. We were making dumplings in the kitchen. We didn't move our hands for a while, so we let him pick it up first. Didn't you hear it?"

Chen Ling explained that this phone number is generally not called, because he is not often in the city, and he has never given any phone numbers to outsiders, so the friends who call the most are Shan Mao and Zhao Dahai. The little fat man will help first. It's okay for him to pick it up.

   I just didn't expect that my father-in-law would call me.

   "Oh, it's that little fat man, I thought it was someone's little doll."

  The old man said with a smile.

These words made the little fat man, who was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, very depressed, and he tiptoed and shouted angrily: "Grandpa Wang, I heard your voice right away, but you didn't even realize that it was me... "

   "Haha, I can hear it now, grandpa can hear it now, Xiao Ming eat more dumplings today, next time I come to my house, grandpa will catch you two more birds to play with."

  After teasing the little fat man, the old man started talking about his grandson. I haven't seen him for ten days, but he misses him very much.

  Chen Ling and Wang Susu quickly carried their son to the phone and asked the old man to listen to the voice. Chen Ling proudly asked his son to call Dad a few times to show off to the old man.

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore, the phone bill is expensive, Dazhi and I came to the county town to go to the market today, the county town and the village are going to build roads, you guys come back quickly, it will be troublesome if you come back late and run into road repairs. "

   "Understood, Dad, we will head back tomorrow."

  …

   Regarding the construction of roads in villages and county towns, even if they are not repaired within two or three years, they will start to be repaired after the millennium.

  It’s just that the Chenwangzhuang Reservoir has been reported in newspapers and on TV in the past two years, and its reputation has grown, attracting a large number of tourists, and the road construction has been advanced.

  It is said that it is starting to build roads, but in their place, in this year and year, don't think that road construction will be a good road.

   There is no asphalt road like in a big city, and it is not even a smooth and flat cement road. It is just a road paved with local materials, small stones and pebbles sifted out of the sand in the river, and some coarse sand.

   It is called "mortar road" in the local dialect.

  There are bumps on the top, and the grain cannot be dried. If you pass by a car frequently, it will also be crushed, but the advantage is that there is no mud in the rain or snow, and it is safer and easier to walk than the current mountain road.

  After repairing, at least it can be opened to traffic.

  Whether foreigners come here or locals go out, it will be more convenient than before.

   After the three members of Chen Ling's family and Zhao Dahai returned to the village the next day, there was still no movement in the village, but the surrounding area of ​​the county town was already full of preparations.

  The villagers are both happy and worried.

   I am happy that the road is finally going to be built.

   What I am worried about is that the ornamental fish raised have just started to be sold, and I have just seen money. Once the road construction is completed, it will definitely not be completed for a while, which will affect the transportation.

   There were also clever villagers who wanted to see Chen Ling's reaction.

   After all, Chen Ling's family wanted to send fish and salted eggs, and if it had any influence, it would have a greater impact on him.

   As a result, when Chen Ling returned home, he was still the same as before. He was not in a hurry all day long, either rushing to the mountains to pick wild fruits or going down to the fields to water the wheat, and he 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 it seriously at all.

   There are also impatient people who come to the house to ask.

  Chen Ling told them: "The mountain roads in the south are not easy to repair. The first thing to do is the dirt road leading from Donggang to the old city wall of the county, which will not affect the export of fish."

   Send them away.

  He has lived a very contented life recently, so he doesn't care about road construction.

  After returning from the city, the two beautiful-colored raccoon cats were paired 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 dug a hole in the orchard, and I am talking to you and me every day, either hunting birds or catching fish, and I think I will give birth to kittens soon.

  Besides the cats, Chen Ling was most gratified by the performance of that pack of wolves. While they were wild to the outside world, 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 before leaving.

  But they come back from time to time, and they will come back once or twice at night. Knowing that the poultry and livestock on the farm are very responsive to them, they will not stay here for a long time.

   But at night, they still guard the farm in secret.

  Sometimes, Erhei led a group of puppies 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 prove this point, after Chen Ling came back from the city, he went for a stroll in the mountains at night, and he found them near the lake in the mountains.

  As soon as they met, they waved and called to them, but they were only guarding nearby at night. Chen Ling searched for the old nest of the wolf den, but it was still in the same place.

   "The cubs have grown up, and the wolf pack has grown in size. It should be that the territory has also expanded, including the vicinity of the farm. This is actually not bad."

   Chen Ling thought about it, and then thought with regret: "Since this is the case, the female leopard I am thinking about will not be scared away."
