My 1995 Small Farm

  In the morning, the sun rises.

  After the light rain last night, it was another hot sunny day.

  Push open the window, and the fresh air after the rain blows in.

   There were a few chirping hawks in my ears, mixed with a few "barking" sounds from the dogs in the field...

   Needless to say, the family dog ​​and kite must have gone out to have fun.

  Chen Ling stretched and walked downstairs slowly.

  In the past few days, it has been raining a little every night.

  After dinner in the evening, before people felt anything, the sky began to rain.

  Sometimes when the moon hangs in the night sky, it starts to rain.

   Sometimes it is light rain, and it will stop within an hour.

  Sometimes it rains all night.

  In short, it has been raining every day and night.

  Go to the kitchen and simply prepare breakfast, and fork out a bad fish from the water tower as a morning meal.

   White rice porridge, steamed buns, served with salted duck eggs, bad fish, and small pickles.

  Cut the salted duck egg in half, the egg yolk is rustling, already red and oily.

  Bad fish on the plate, red fish jelly, soft and tender fish.

   Crisp and refreshing pickles.

   Served with hot steamed buns, light and fragrant white rice porridge.

   Really whets the appetite.

   "This bad fish is just like salted egg and pickled vegetables. You can eat it when you take it out. It's convenient to eat."

  Chen Ling snorted and finished two bowls of white rice porridge, and burped comfortably.

   "Yeah, I'll make some more another day, it's delicious."

  Wang Susu fed her son, smiled and said, "Are you going to Huangni Town today?"

   "Well, I have to go and have a look. Chuangzi said that there are a lot of defective products over there, and the price is also cheap, but the quantity is too large. There is a lot accumulated in the garment factory, so he can't make up his mind."

  Written by Chen Lingying.

   "Are you taking Ruirui? If you take him out, don't ride a horse, go by a motorcycle."

   "Don't bring him, let him play with our father at home herding sheep."

  Chen Ling has to go to the small yard in the south of the city today to try to grow something. These days, he has nothing to do and tinkered with some new varieties, and he is going to try them out.

   Ruirui, this stinky boy can remember something, Chen Ling doesn't dare to ripen things with spiritual water in front of him anymore.

  So after eating, Chen Ling rode on the little green horse and headed all the way to Huangni Town.

  Unexpectedly, just after leaving the village and walking to the dam of the reservoir, there was a cry from the sky.

   When the little green horse heard this cry, it also let out a rhythmic cry.

  Chen Ling looked up and saw a magnificent yellow-clawed hawk hovering above his head, so he whistled: "Two balds, come down and fly."

   "咻—" After a whistle sounded.

  The kite swooped down and flew parallel to the little green horse at low altitude.

   "Haha, Erbald, your skills are really worthy of being a master of flying among birds of prey."

   Just finished complimenting.

  Suddenly, I heard the whistling sound of wings flapping the air from my left ear.

   Turning his head to look, the two little pigeons at home actually flew over.

   These two little pigeons have learned to fly a long time ago.

   But because Chen Ling raised it well, he bred it as a breeder and was more clingy than the pigeons raised in the village yard.

  Doves are inherently gentle and loved ones.

   Even in the face of feeding from strangers, this kind of domestic pigeon dares to fly to others to grab food.

  So it is not an exaggeration to say that pigeons are the best birds to train.

  Even ordinary people who don’t have any bird training skills, once they are raised well, the pigeons will be more clingy than imagined.

   "Good guy, you are all here."

  Seeing this, Chen Ling felt a sense of arrogance, and immediately reined in the little green horse to speed up.

   Now that the little green horse is nourished by the spiritual water, it will be fat and strong, smooth and smooth, with tendons all over its body. Once it lets go and runs, its speed will not be exaggerated.

  Long mane and tail fluttering in the wind, both beautiful and mighty, appearing unusually heroic.

   Around the little green horse, there is also a gallant hawk flying around with two pigeons.

  The kite eagle showed dazzling skills from time to time, flying up and down around the green horse.

  Sometimes they swish past under the horse's belly, as fast as lightning.

  The two pigeons were slightly worse, but they also followed the little green horse and flew at low altitude.

  The newly built mortar stone road is spacious and flat.

  The little green horse was running very happily, and the sound of hooves knocking on the mountain road was intensive.

   Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes and the crowing of eagles, they galloped all the way to Huangni Town.

  Passers-by kept looking sideways, and couldn't help cursing who is such a coquettish kid, who came out early in the morning to ride a horse and shoot hawks in this hot weather.

   "What are you watching the hawks, I'm obviously watching the pigeons."

  Chen Ling muttered silently, and then thought about growing the pigeon flock a bit later, and then making a few bamboo whistles to tie the pigeons' legs.

  It’s so beautiful to come out to release the pigeons every morning, and watch the pigeons soaring above the blue sky, making a whistling whistle with the flapping of their wings.

   "Huh? Where's the pigeon?"

   I was distracted for a few seconds, and suddenly found that the pigeon was gone. I turned my head and looked, and the second bald man was gone.

   "Are you tired from flying? Forget it, they all know the way home anyway, so don't worry."

  As soon as the little green horse let go of running, he was very excited. In the morning, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, so he ran happily.

   It wasn't until the county border that it slowed down.

  It also knows that places with a lot of people can't be too presumptuous, and can't be ignored.

   But unexpectedly, the little green horse had just slowed down, only to hear the crowing of falcons and the crowing of pigeons in front of him.

  Chen Ling hurriedly stopped the little green horse, followed the reputation, and saw two pigeons sitting on the eaves of a residential house.

  The kite is more like an uncle, it is landing on the pole outside the eaves, combing its feathers leisurely.

   Chen Ling was almost dumbfounded by this posture.

   "Let's go, I thought you were tired from flying and stopped at the back to rest, but I didn't expect to see it in the blink of an eye, and flew to the front."

   "Cuckoo", "Cuckoo"...

  Two pigeons bulged their crops and moved their heads on the eaves and screamed loudly, as if they were bored after waiting for a long time, and the two guys started fighting and playing with each other.

   "Damn, are you kidding me?"

  Chen Ling blew a loud whistle, "Go, open the way ahead."

  The three guys were moved when they heard the sound, and flew to the sky with wings.

   Went to Huangni Town, Chen Ling looked at the quality of some defective clothes and fabrics, and immediately decided to take them all.

  Actually, what Wang Qingzhong meant was that he was not prepared to ask for too much.

   But when Chen Ling came here to take a look, the quality was quite good, even if it was a defective product, it was still good.

  Since this is the case, it’s all about it.

  Although he won't sell the defective products as genuine products, it's not bad to let Wang Qingzhong and the others sell them at a low price in Fenglei Town first.

   After all, there is no money for that t-shirt.

  As for outside Fenglei Town, there are quite a few people doing manual labor on the pier, and it is perfectly fine to sell defective products at a cheaper price.

   "The things are not bad. I will drive a tractor to load the car in the afternoon."

   After speaking with Han Chuang and his brothers, they rode back to the county seat again. After arriving at the small courtyard in the south of the city, let the little green horse, kite, and pigeon rest first, and feed some water after resting.

  Chen Ling took out a hoe, removed a piece of weeds, sowed some seeds in the vegetable garden on the south half of the yard, and poured undiluted spiritual water on it.

  The green onion seedlings began to grow wildly, blossomed and bear fruit, and the fruits soon turned into large black and green watermelons.

  Chen Ling knelt down, knocked on each of them, and listened to the sound.

  This black watermelon is no better than that kind of flowery watermelon, the skin is too thick, you can't tell if it's ripe or not.

  So I randomly picked one out, opened it, and saw that the skin of the watermelon was as thick as two fingers, the flesh was very red, there were fewer seeds and more meat, and the appearance was not bad.

   But after Chen Ling cut a piece and tasted it, he frowned slightly.

   "Tsk, the taste is still not very good. The taste of the watermelon produced with spiritual water is a bit worse than that of ordinary watermelon from the outside world. This time the grafting is a bit of a failure."

   This black-skinned watermelon was grafted by him from winter melon.

   Inherited the advantages of wax gourd, the skin is very thick and can withstand long-distance transportation.

   And they are big. A watermelon averages more than ten or twenty catties, and the bigger ones can even reach forty catties.

  But, it also has the disadvantage of winter melon, that is, it is not very sweet.

  Don't talk about planting outside.

  It is cultivated inside Dongtian, and the sweetness is not high.

   "Now the problem of long-distance transportation has been solved, but the taste has become a new problem..."

   "Does it have to be cultivated in the cave for a few more generations?"

   It was the first time that Chen Ling felt that growing things in the cave was not successful.

   "Oh, it seems that the sun, the moon and the cave are not omnipotent, you can't mess around..."

   "But it's okay, go back and change the pattern, and try to breed a few more generations."

  Chen Ling shook his head and waved to Xiao Qingma: "Come here, I will leave the rest to you."

  Watermelons were not successfully grown, but peaches were quite successful.

  Perhaps this has something to do with the growth time in the cave.

  The peach tree was planted by Chen Ling as soon as he got the cave.

  It has grown for a long time, and now it has become a peach forest. It can be said to be a natural breeding optimized variety.

   "It's no wonder that later generations have produced a lot of new varieties of watermelon in my childhood, and sell them in a **** limited number every year. It turns out that this thing is not as simple as I thought."

   "After all, peaches are relatively easy to cultivate."

  Chen Ling took out a peach from the cave, washed it, and after breaking it open, the flesh was dark red, which was very strange.

   Take a sip, the juice is overflowing, sweet and juicy.

   This peculiar peach has no difference in appearance from ordinary peaches, but the color of the flesh is quite different, a rare deep red.

   This was grafted by Chen Ling with a wild cherry tree.

   After only two generations of breeding, this strange and delicious new variety appeared.

   "This variety is good. Next year, we will graft peach trees in the orchard and sell them as a new variety in the future. It is better than the current one."

  Chen Ling thought secretly.

  Then put away the watermelon on the ground, put it in the cave, and moved out a big winter melon from the cave, grandma’s, the winter melon grafted with watermelon failed, so I went back to stew a big pot of vegetables for lunch.

   On the way back, he detoured to the telephone booth and called his uncle Wang Qingwen, asking him and Wang Qingzhong to wait in the town tomorrow, and he would send a cart of clothes and fabrics to Fenglei Town.

  After the notice was received, regardless of the kites and pigeons that were flying and playing, they galloped all the way home.

  As soon as I got home, I saw the father-in-law hugging his son and yelling, Gao Xiulan was still holding a big bamboo pole and cursing, and a group of dogs were running around on the hillside, barking non-stop.

  Wang Susu looked up at the sky, holding an eagle whistle and blowing there.

"what happened?"

   "It's just in time for you to come back, Ah Ling. The eagles have eaten several of our chickens. The kite is not at home. Several eagles are spinning around in the sky. Hurry up and think of a way."

  Wang Susu said hastily when he saw him come back.

  After the wheat harvest or autumn harvest, the crops are harvested, and the wild animals in the fields have no hiding places. Many eagles in the mountains will take the opportunity to fly, and when the weather is cool in the morning and evening, they circle back and forth on the fields, looking for prey.

   This is a very common thing.

  The second bald man would also often participate in it, changing his taste. Chen Ling often took his son to watch those eagles.

   Unexpectedly, today, instead of circling in the field, these eagles came to catch their chickens and eat them.
