My 1995 Small Farm

I finished posting the couplets and coaxed the children.

Chen Ling returned to the farm outside the village and got into the kitchen to prepare lunch for New Year's Eve.

Liang Yuemin and Liu Yinhuan, their family of three, and Zhao Dahai's family of three, all live temporarily at the farm.

Liang Yuemin's family had returned from the countryside at this time, and they were outside the kitchen with Zhao Dahai's family, helping Chen Ling choose dishes.

For lunch on New Year’s Eve, if possible, eat dumplings.

If there are no conditions, we will move it to the evening and make dumplings as dinner.

The New Year’s Eve dinner doesn’t involve such grand and sumptuous dishes.

Chen Ling's family doesn't pay attention to these things because the population is small. When he and his father were alive, they could eat whatever they wanted.

Anyway, no matter how much money the father and son spend, how much can they get?

There is too much to eat.

This year, there were more people, all close relatives and friends, and the dolls were all gathered.

Feeling happy, Chen Ling was willing to put in more effort to make food.

Today’s dumplings include leek, radish, and cabbage.

They all have meat and vegetable fillings.

Leeks are leek meat and leek eggs.

Radish is radish meat and radish vermicelli.

The cabbage ones are cabbage meat and cabbage garlic.

It is worth mentioning that many people, except Chen Ling and Wang Susu, have never eaten dumplings stuffed with cabbage and garlic.

This is also a characteristic of their mountains, mainly because there are no other vegetables in the north during the Chinese New Year.

In winter, only cabbage is the most abundant.

When a poor family wants to make dumplings, cabbage, garlic, and eggs are enough.

"I won't pack more of the cabbage and garlic ones. I just want you to eat them fresh..."

Chen Ling said: "We have a lot of green vegetables in the greenhouse this year, and leeks are the best. Pack a little more of this to make up for Brother Yuemin and Brother Dahai."

"Oh, I'm convinced, and you come again. Who is worthy of comparing with you?"

Zhao Dahai yelled in dissatisfaction, saying that Chen Lingzhuang was like a tiger, and it was useless for a pure man to compare with him.

Liang Yuemin smiled and said nothing. He really tasted the benefits of eating the sheep whip and eggs yesterday.

After a while, he said: "You don't need to tell me, I also want to pack more. I have liked eating leek boxes since I was a child."

Outside the kitchen, when Liu Yinhuan heard this, he glanced quietly, lowered his head and said nothing, and quickly speeded up his work.

Chen Ling noticed these details and thought, just be tough.

Don’t come back to beg me again.

But back to business, the leeks in the greenhouse do grow well.

The freshly cut leeks are green and watery, and some of them still have water drops hanging on them.

"The leeks in Fugui are grown in a greenhouse. They are warm. Why is there still dew?"

After Liang Hongyu came over to help choose vegetables, the old lady became confused.

"We can't say dew, just a bit of water vapor. The greenhouse is warm and the temperature is not constant. The temperature fluctuates up and down in the morning and at night. It is normal for the ground air to rise and soak into the vegetable leaves. The plastic sheet on the roof of the greenhouse is still there. There are layers of water beads.

When we were in the city a while ago, it was warmer and they had to be especially careful to open their mouths to get some air during the day.

Otherwise, it would be like raindrops falling inside, pitter-patter, full of water droplets.

When you walk to a low place, there is water that touches your head. "

Chen Ling explained.

"Oh, that's right. Those of us who have never farmed before just don't understand anything."

The old lady was not only confused herself, but also others.

"It's just that these little leeks are very fresh and tender, and the leaves are not so thick, so they are pleasant to look at."

"That's right, I think the vegetables grown by Fugui are not all big, but they all grow well. Just like some people's faces, they look white and rosy at first glance, which makes them feel comfortable."

The small-leaf leeks used to make dumplings are almost half the height of the leeks sold on the market.

It's very clean and fresh, but because it's in a greenhouse, there are also yellow and dead leaves on it.

I need everyone to help me carefully choose one by one.

This hard-to-select small-leaf leek is actually a very good material for making dumplings.

It's full of flavor, fresh and tender in your mouth, and full of refreshing flavor.

Whether it is served with eggs or meat, it is the best material for making dumplings.

Compared with the kind of steamed buns and boiled dumplings in restaurants that rely on sufficient heat to cook them, the leeks become soft and the flavor of the leeks is gone when you bite them.

It’s just one day at a time.

"Fugui, there's a call. It's for you. It's all been called to me."

While he was busy in the kitchen, Liang Yuemin's cell phone suddenly rang, and when he got through, it turned out to be Chen Ling.

"Ah? Who? Director Zhao?!"

When Chen Ling heard that it was a cartoon director, he wiped his hands and took the phone.

"Boss Chen, I wish you a happy New Year in advance! My letter was returned to me for some reason. I heard that Boss Liang is celebrating the holidays with you this year, so I called him. I didn't bother you, right?"

The other person spoke very politely and enthusiastically.

In the past it was just because of the cartoons, but later...

Knowing that Shen Jiayi was Chen Ling's apprentice, he took the initiative to help compose the theme song for the cartoon.

Later, I learned that Chen Ling was related to the braised beef noodles that had recently become popular all over the country. Even the product signs used the name of his farm.

There is no need to even inquire about what this means.

Thinking about it, everyone knows that this company is inextricably related to him.

The importance attached to him naturally increased by more than one level.

"Thank you, Director Zhao, and I wish you a happy New Year. Remember my phone number. If you need anything in the future, just contact me directly."

Chen Ling used to communicate with them through letters because of Xiao Han.

Because of communication through letters, he can be lazy and fish out. Otherwise, he would be very upset if he was always urged to do this and that.

But now, they are not too pushy.

Moreover, Chen Ling's mentality is also very stable. There are children at home, and it is useless no matter how hard he urges them.

"That's great. We can keep in touch from now on. By the way, Boss Chen, there is a friend next to me who wants to meet you. We are going to start shooting soon to celebrate the return of Hong Kong Island..."

"Okay, I have admired Director Zeng for a long time, haha."

"Glorious Return" Zeng Nianping naturally knew who Chen Ling was, so how could he treat him as an ordinary rural young man.

He was polite and polite, and besides saying hello to the New Year, he meant that he would discuss the plot of the script with him next year and that he would listen to his opinions then.

Even if it involves political tasks, it will open the door for Chen Ling.

This is the power of a humble instant noodle.

After chatting with Zeng Nianping, Chen Ling saw everyone going about their business, so he simply continued to open the phone book and called all the friends he often contacted.

Wang Susu was in the kitchen, guarding Ruirui and the other children, and then chatting with the woman. "Sister-in-law Hongxia, if you live here with us, can you sleep well at night?"

A woman would care about this. Chen Ling wouldn't even think of such a place.

Zhao Dahai's wife nodded and smiled: "That goes without saying. Living here makes me feel comfortable at night. I forget a lot of my worries. We can both sleep until dawn."

She was telling the truth.

Zhao Yubao wants to have two more children in the family, regardless of whether they are boys or girls. He just wants to have more children in the family to make the family more lively.

This kind of birth made Zhao Dahai and her a little anxious.

Zhao Dahai has been working outside for the past six months, running around in the sun and wind. When he comes back, he has to worry about giving birth to a child.

Not only did this fat man lose a lot of weight, he also lost a lot of hair.

Chen Ling was not joking when he said he would make up for it.

"We are the same. Yue Min is a delicate and emotional person. He always suffers from poor sleep. After coming here, he can finally recuperate his energy."

Liu Yinhuan answered with a smile.

Liang Yuemin couldn't start his career before and was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

Later, I started making braised beef noodles, and I was busy with various things all day long. At night, I slept and dreamed about work.

The work is never done, and I have to face various visits from leaders.

Today I come to this leader to meet you. Tomorrow the leader next door will come to visit and learn from advanced experience.

This kind of thing is the most annoying. Once the official talk comes up, most of the day will pass.

The quality of sleep is naturally not good.

Five or six hours of sleep is considered a long time.

I still have insomnia every now and then.

Although sometimes I can find time to catch up on some sleep in the car or at the office.

But as time goes by, I still feel that my body is going downhill.

After coming to the village, these problems disappeared.

I can sleep until dawn. When I lie on the bed, I feel like a sleepy person, just touching the pillow.

Not only do I feel great when I wake up in the morning, but my body reacts violently.

How could Liu Yinhuan not be surprised.

"I just want him to start work a few days later after the new year, stay here for a few more days, and help Fugui. His deer farm is about to be built, and the place to raise cattle and sheep has not yet been completed."

Liu Yinhuan said with a smile.

Although they only officially started working in the countryside after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

But Chen Ling and the others visited relatives for New Year greetings, and Liang Yuemin and the others had no other place to go except the fat man's grandma's house in the village.

It would be just right to help Chen Ling build a cattle farm and a sheep farm.

"What this means is that Fugui likes beef so much that he talks about raising our local cattle all day long." Xiang Hongxia answered.

"We also want to stay a few more days, so I will help Susu take care of the baby... It will be warmer after the new year, and Kang Kang Le will be able to go out."

"Okay, it just so happens that Sister Dujuan is in confinement. I want to hang out in front of her every day and make her jealous, hahaha..."

Wang Susu winked playfully and laughed.

It's time to be a mother, but the little daughter-in-law will still show her girlish nature that is hard to change when talking about her happiness with her good friends.

"You, before you are jealous of Du Juan, you are already jealous of us."

Xiang Hongxia pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Susu is not old, but she can give birth to babies and raise them, which is better than most women."

"You can't say that. As for Du Juan, it was Su Su who taught her pregnancy preparation and miscarriage."

Liu Yinhuan said that in this era, when married women are together, they talk about their children besides their husbands.

It is different to chat with a man, sit together and talk about astronomy, geography, international situation, and have revenge in mind.

Chen Ling felt that he would be bored if he listened for a long time.

Might as well play with the little doll, it's more fun.

Simply light a fire in the fire pit outside the kitchen, set up a hanging pot, and use this small pot to cook the dumplings that the children like to eat.

This is quick and convenient.

Perhaps he is aware of the happiness and joy of people today, and animals are also humane.

The little muntjac and his wife crawled out of the 'doghouse' and tentatively picked up various vegetable leaves near the kitchen to eat.

The little white cow also walked slowly, walked nearby, and lay its white body on the sand pile where Ruirui often played, lying on it to bask in the sun.

The second bald man walked back and forth around Chen Ling with steps that he didn't recognize, or came up behind Chen Ling and nagged at his trouser legs.

Even the weasel, which usually doesn't show up, came back from the waterway entrance, jumped back and forth on the eaves, flew over the eaves and walked over the walls, causing Ruirui and the others to squawk.

"Oh, the little muntjac is so annoying. He secretly eats raw dumplings! I praised him for being cute in vain!"

Little Lizi stamped her feet angrily because the little Muntjac slipped away from Little Muntjae's mother and stole two of the raw dumplings waiting to be cooked next to Chen Ling.

"Hit it!"

Ruirui shouted excitedly. He is the little bully in the family, and he likes to take Heiwa and Xiaojin to play with the animals in the house.

"Okay, it's Chinese New Year, he can eat whatever he wants."

Chen Ling also didn't expect that this little thing would eat dumplings secretly.

But since it is a little pet raised by Zhenzhen and Ruirui, just let it go and follow it at home.

"Uncle, the little white guy and the bald guy need to be there too, otherwise it won't be fair."

The little fat man spoke, and actually talked about fairness.

He likes Little White Cow very much. Today he heard that Erbaldy helped Little Lizi pull out his teeth, and he likes Erbald very much again.

Only ranked behind Hei Wa and Xiao Jin.

"Okay, okay, I have them all. Uncle will give them extra food tonight. Let's cook yours first."

Chen Ling put the dumplings into the pot for them and glanced at Erbaldy. The two followers of this guy had flown to nowhere, but he was quite content at home.

It is also favored by children, and they will definitely be full during the Chinese New Year.

"Aling, listen, the little green horse is barking outside, and it must want to come in and play." Wang Susu said at this time.

"Ignore it, it's not honest, do it to me in front of me and behind your back, let it become honest first."

Chen Ling had heard about it a long time ago. When his family went to the city, no one at home was taking care of it. The little green horse was going crazy and no one could take care of it.

I thought it had become better behaved before, but I didn't expect it to pretend to be in front of me.

At this time, Yaya started shouting again: "Uncle, monkey, there are monkeys in the back mountain, and there is a little monkey standing on the wall of our house!"

Little Lizi and Little Fatty also started shouting:

"Mom, come and see, there are so many beautiful monkeys. The little monkeys are so cute, even cuter than the little monkey who played monkeys that day."

"Ha, it's quite lively today."

Chen Ling walked over and asked the two bald men to drive them away. The falcons absolutely suppressed the monkeys.

When I looked over there, I couldn't help but said, "A group of golden monkeys?"

I saw monkeys with pure and clear eyes and beautiful golden hair hanging on the fence of my house and on the trees in the back hill.

It was the group of golden monkeys that Chen Ling had met twice before. (End of chapter)
