My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 224

   Chapter 224

   After reading the words above, everyone stopped in a hurry to enter the farm, and stopped to chat with Chen Ling, enjoying the surrounding scenery.

   One by one, the sight ranges from the bamboo forest, the pavilion, to the canal flowing with the babbling stream.

  The two canals are only about fifty or sixty centimeters wide, among which the stream is shallow and surrounds the farmhouse, winding through the bamboo forest, then bypassing the pavilion and flowing into the depths of the orchard.

   It really feels a little sloppy.

   "You are well arranged, rich, and more perfect than I imagined."

   Before entering the farmhouse, Liang Yuemin was already attracted by the bamboo forest and the water canal outside.

  The water of the stream is clear. Liang Yuemin washed his face with water and felt cool and refreshing, so he picked up a handful of water to drink, but he was startled as soon as it was brought to his mouth, "A lot of small fish, did you put fry?"

   He turned his head and asked Chen Ling in surprise.

   "I haven't released it yet. This is a fish that flows down the mountain along the stream."

The water of the canal comes from the stream that Chen Ling led down from the mountain. There is one in the west mountain and one in the north mountain. The two streams are divided into four streams. , are the two canals that everyone sees.

"Uncle, uncle, let's not wait for Dad, let him play in the water here by himself, we still have so many places to go." Little fat Liang Yiming, like Liu Ni'er, is a sturdy little boy who likes everyone else. Come to know, I have come to Chen Ling's house so many times, I have known Chen Ling very well for a long time, every time I come over, he is going to play this and that, and now I don't know what I am aiming for, even his father doesn't care, dragging Chen Ling's clothes are about to go to the farm.

   "Okay, okay, don't wait for him." Chen Ling asked him to drag him into the farm, and everyone behind him followed with a smile.

   When they walked into the farm and saw the huge lotus pond, the wooden bridge on the pond and the corridor by the pond, everyone was even more amazed.

  The people who came today included Zhao Dahai's family of three, Liang Yuemin's family of three, and two other people, Lynx and Du Juan. They had all seen the world outside, but after seeing Chen Ling's farm, they couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

  Chen Ling also felt very satisfied. Anyway, it was just how comfortable he was, but it was not worthy of their praise.

   laughed and said their reaction was too exaggerated.

   "No exaggeration, I really think it's beautiful. The main thing is that the scenery here is good, and the layout is good. When the flowers and trees, and the lotus in the pond grow, it will definitely be more beautiful." Rhododendron said seriously.

   After hearing her words, Zhao Dahai said cheerfully: "Du Juan is a great painter. She says she is beautiful, she is beautiful, how can she lie to you?"

   "You are a humble person."

   Lynx agreed with this, nodded and said, "That's right, he has this problem."

   He found out the last time he fought wolves.

  This kid is not showing off the mountains, but he is actually very capable.

   "Okay, since you guys like it, come here often when you have time." Chen Ling smiled helplessly.

   This is because he didn't realize how different his advanced thinking concept was in this year and month, so he was a little bit selfish.

   After that, I didn't say any more, and moved on.

   Step on the wooden bridge and walk through the corridor, which is a spacious bamboo courtyard, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs.

  The two-storey bamboo building is facing the lotus pond in a concave shape. Three buildings are built facing the south. The three buildings surround a yard, and there are no green plants and flowers.

   Behind the bamboo building is a wooden building, which is one floor higher than the bamboo building as a whole.

   Liang Yuemin also followed at this time, and everyone walked back and forth between the bamboo building and the wooden building first, not in a hurry to go up.

   Only Little Fatty couldn't wait. He pulled the little girl from Zhao Dahai's family, and got into the bamboo building and would not come out. The two little dolls ran up and down the stairs, yelling and screaming.

   "Xiao Ming, don't make a fuss, hurry down and be careful to drop your sister later." Liu Yinhuan shouted twice to no avail, and went in to watch them play, and Xiang Wenxia and Du Juan also followed.

   While a few gentlemen were still outside, Lynx was looking at the pillars outside the bamboo building and said, "The engineering team can do it. The foundations under the pillars are also padded with bluestone, which is very troublesome."

   "Of course, the engineering team I found for Fugui, could it be wrong?"

   Zhao Dahai suddenly became proud.

   "Haha, that's true, the engineering team that Big Brother found for him is really good."

  Chen Ling patted his fat-filled chest and said with a smile, "I want to find someone to build it myself, I'll make it together, don't tell me the trouble, it will definitely cost more than this."

   The cost of settlement for the engineering team ended up being nearly 40,000 yuan.

   was well below his budget.

   The construction materials and the tobacco, alcohol and food for the engineering team cost less than 3,000 yuan.

Let's just talk about building materials, a blue brick is only 3 cents, a bluestone slab is 6 cents, 8 cents, a tractor pulls it, the blue bricks are square, that is, 2,000 blue bricks, 60 yuan is a lot. .

   This is when the building materials sold by Wangbacheng are generally more expensive than the surrounding counties.

  Not to mention wood and bamboo, all of which are made from Dongtian, and basically cost nothing.

   After all, it cost less than 50,000 yuan to build the farm.

   "Since that's the case, why are you going to thank me?" Zhao Dahai winked at him for a while: "It just so happens that Lynx is here..."

   "My mother, Brother Hai, you really can't do without this in three sentences."

  Chen Ling gave him a disgusting glance, "I'll take you to the mountain later, okay."

   "Hey, okay, I'll just wait for your words."

   "It's better for me to see Heiwa and the two of them in the mountain. I heard that you and the lynx are fighting wolves and leopards together in Lutou Mountain. I'm very itchy."

   Zhao Dahai rubbed his hands together, he came to play with this in mind.

   "What are you talking about?"

   Liang Yuemin didn't understand why Zhao Dahai was so excited, he was confused.

   "Running mountains, hunting, do you play?"

   Lynx smiled, and took out a keychain from his pocket with a string of wolf teeth hanging on it: "Well, I got it from Fugui last time when I was fighting a wolf in Lutou Mountain on his father-in-law's side."

  Liang Yuemin rubbed his hand twice, and he couldn't put it down: "It's good, take me with you next time you go to the mountains. Last year, I didn't catch up with Fugui's village to fight wolves, and I regretted it for a long time."

He has played a lot of    guns, but he has never had a real hunt.

"Row."

   Lynx took the keychain again, took off the wolf teeth hanging on it, and gave it to him, "I have a lot of wolf teeth, pig teeth, and tiger teeth in my house. If you like it, I will give it to you."

  Liang Yuemin hurriedly declined and said no, and finally accepted it because he couldn't bear it, but he obviously liked the way he immediately wore it on his wrist happily.

   Then a few men also walked into the bamboo building, looking east and west, and then went up the stairs to the second floor, turning around the three bamboo buildings.

   After turning around, go to the wooden building and open the windows on the third floor to enjoy the scenery.

  The mountain wind is blowing softly, and the leaves are rattling.

In the distance is a large wheat field. Surrounded by the wheat field, rapeseed flowers are planted on several undulating soil slopes. The breeze blows, layer upon layer, like a golden wave, which is very eye-catching in the embrace of the turquoise wheat field. .

   Looking around, the wheat fields, the villages, the green mountains, and the dogs running in the fields are all in sight.

   Looking closer, the lotus ponds, wooden bridges, corridors in the farmhouse, the chicken coops, duck pens, and cattle sheds on both sides of the farmhouse, as well as the bamboo forests, pavilions, canals, etc. outside, are also very clear.

  It is the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and the fruit trees in the fruit forest are all full of flowers. Outside the fruit forest, the mountains and plains are also flourishing with flowers and plants, rushing to bloom.

  The cool breeze in the mountains blows over the face, refreshing and full of freshness, and the wind carries the fragrance of flowers and plants, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

   "Good place, I'm not going to run the mountains, I'm going to stay here for a day until the sun goes down."

  Liang Yuemin stretched out his hand, letting the soft wind blow over him, and said with a happy face.

"me too."

   Zhao Dahai shouted, "Fugui, why don't we eat here at noon, drinking small wine, blowing the wind, enjoying the scenery, how comfortable it is."

   "Okay, it's simple. Behind the farm is the kitchen, with tableware, table and chairs. I'll kill a chicken and two fish later. Let's eat here." Chen Ling said.

   Several big men stood in front of the window and were intoxicated.

   And the women and dolls were chatting not far away, lying in front of the window and looking around.

  Since everyone liked it here, at noon, Chen Ling went back to pick up Wang Susu and his sister, and called the two old people at home, and had a lively meal at the farm.

   The newly built farm has been stained with a lot of fireworks.

   Not to mention the comfort.

   After the meal, tea was made, and the mountain wind was blowing, and everyone sat upstairs and played cards leisurely.

   After playing cards for a while, the drinking energy in the afternoon also went down, Zhao Dahai couldn't sit still, and still wanted to go to the mountains to play.

   Go as soon as you go. There is a mountain behind the farm. It is not a word to go to the mountain to play.

  Chen Ling called the family dog ​​and led them up the mountain.

   However, the mountains to the north were relatively steep. After a while, Zhao Dahai was so tired that he was out of breath and sweating profusely.

  The bobcat laughed at him when he saw this, and he still ran a mountain with this virtue.

   "I haven't run over the mountains before, I'll just run twice more in the future. Then you can find me two good dogs, and let's go patrol the forest with knives."

   Zhao Dahai gasped with his mouth open, whirring like a bellows.

   Lynx shook his head expressionlessly: "You don't know how to keep dogs, you've abolished dog keeping."

   "Nonsense, I just don't have time to take the dog up the mountain." Zhao Dahai hurriedly denied it.

"Hee hee, I've seen the dog you raised, fat brother. You can see ribs if you are thin. Brother Lynx is right. You just don't know how to keep a dog. You must eat your own food and eat yourself fat. , refused to give the dog food, and the dog was starving to death."

   At this moment, Wang Zhenzhen suddenly interjected.

   Everyone paused after hearing this, and then burst into laughter.

  Xiang Hongxia couldn't hold back her laughter until she leaned back and forth.

   "Really, that's a thin dog, and a thin dog is so thin, it's not that bad when it's fat." Zhao Dahai explained with a blushing face.

"You lie, Heiwa is very fat, has a lot of flesh on her body, and is firm. Every time Heiwa is disobedient, my brother-in-law beats him, and his hand hurts, but he can beat a wolf, and your dog can beat him. Can you beat a wolf?" Wang Zhenzhen raised his head and asked him.

   "It's not that you can't beat a wolf."

   Zhao Dahai explained again: "A thin dog is born very thin, and when it is thin, it runs fast, and it is like playing with a rabbit."

   "It's like playing with a rabbit, Xiaojin. Can your dog outrun Xiaojin?" Wang Zhenzhen asked again, raising his little head.

   "It's not a matter of running fast or not, anyway, fine dogs are just different..."

   Zhao Dahai's full stomach was blocked and he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, his speech was incoherent, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

   Lynx smiled beside him when he saw his embarrassment, "It's still really accurate, your fat brother doesn't know how to keep dogs."

  Others were amused and laughed.

   Even Little Fatty and Zhao Dahai's daughter giggled.

When everyone was finished, Chen Ling said: "A thin dog can't drive a mountain, and the one who can't run on a mountain is to drive a rabbit and a pheasant in the field. If you want to run on the mountain, Brother Hai, you can pick two mountain dogs in the future. "

  A fine dog can run fast, but this kind of dog runs too fast, and it is easy to fail to stop the car. If it drives a mountain in a forest, it is easy to hit a tree or a rock and die.

   They are not suitable for running mountains, but are suitable for sieging on savannah and plains.

In contrast, Xiao Jin's speed is flexible and fast, and the toes of it and Heiwa are specially selected and bred tiger-headed yellow, which is the toes of the mountain dog, walking into the mountains and forests like walking on the ground, like leopards in the forest. Running and leaping, climbing mountains and mountains is no problem at all.

"I also know that thin dogs are not suitable for running mountains. Isn't there a chance to find a good dog? Lynx picked this thin dog for me, or I begged him for more than half a year to get it back for me." face said.

   Lynx said with disgust: "You don't even have two rabbits, but you want to run the mountain. It's better to train the dog first and learn how to drive rabbits. Let's talk about other things."

  The thin dog he found for Zhao Dahai was just for him to train rabbits.

   As a result, Zhao Dahai never trained the dog, so I can't blame him.

"Alas..." Zhao Dahai was repeatedly beaten, and this year he became more and more fat. He couldn't bear it after walking on the mountain for a long time. When he sighed, he also became cruel, and decided to take the dog to practice more after he went back, so as not to avoid The next time I come here, it will make me laugh.

   Later, Zhao Dahai rested, and the group moved forward again.

  This season is the busiest time on the mountain. Colorful wildflowers are in full bloom along the road, wild bees are flying, and along the way, in the grass and bushes, all kinds of birds and beasts can't stop jumping out.

But Liang Yiming, this little fat man, was so happy, he followed the little yellow dog after chasing this one and the other. When the little yellow dog finally caught a four-legged snake, he went to **** it with the little yellow dog, and the little yellow dog barked. Yelling, he didn't show weakness, and barked back at the little yellow dog.

   made everyone laugh.

   Even Liu Yinhuan couldn't do anything about this living treasure son.

  The wind was blowing from the mountains, the flowers and plants were fragrant, the dolls were noisy, and the women picked wild flowers of various colors and weaved them into corollas to wear on their heads.

   After walking for a while, there was a wild strawberry on the side of the road, bright red in color, the fruit was slightly smaller than the strawberry, and there were many small raised particles on it. Wang Zhenzhen cheered and ran over to pick it after seeing it.

   "Little aunt, what have you found?"

   The little fat man hurriedly pulled Yaya to follow.

   "This is thorn bubbles, but it's delicious."

   "Thorn Bubbles? Such a strange name."

The name    is strange for the little dolls, and the adults are also very strange.

   "It's actually thornberry, or raspberry, raspberry, raspberry. You must know the name raspberry." Chen Ling explained.

  Prickly pear or prickly pear fruit is very common along the mountain roads in the third and fourth months of the lunar calendar. There are many names for this wild fruit, such as raspberry, raspberry, wild strawberry, and raspberry.

   But the most famous is raspberry, because Mr. Lu Xun mentioned it in "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore".

   "If you are not afraid of thorns, you can also pick raspberries, which are like small **** of coral beads. They are sour and sweet, and their color and taste are far better than mulberries."

   Mr. Lu Xun's description is extremely simple and direct. Although this raspberry is small, it tastes very good. It is much more delicious than mulberry. Needless to say.

   is that the pulp is too soft to withstand bumps, and it is not easy to preserve, so many urbanites cannot eat it.

   "So this is a raspberry. Why didn't we come across it when we were in the mountains last time?"

   "It was autumn, and it was long gone."

   Seeing the little guys squatting on the ground and picking and eating, a few adults couldn't help but also picked two to taste, and it turned out to be sweet and sour, and the taste was excellent.

   So he also picked and ate it, and quickly picked all the thorns on the roadside, and he still didn't know what to do, so he asked Chen Ling if there were any more on the mountain.

   "Of course there is. There are many on the mountain. In addition to thorns, you can also eat wild mulberries and goat milk fruit. Today, I will let you have a good time."

He had just finished speaking, and before he walked a few steps, he saw a few wild mulberry trees in front of him. When he looked up, the branches were covered with purple-red mulberries. The little fat man jumped and shouted when he saw it. Climb up the tree to pick.

   For him, eating mulberries is secondary, mainly because he wants to climb trees, so that he can climb on the trees and pick fruits to play.

   "Uncle, uncle, can I climb this tree?"

   "Can climb, mulberry tree does not bite."

   "But I'm afraid there will be bugs on the tree to bite people."

   He is not stupid, he knows to ask Chen Ling first.

After asking, he hugged the tree trunk and climbed up. He came to the village to play a few times, but he had already learned to climb trees, but unfortunately these trees are not easy to climb, they are naked, and the little fat man does not have the energy of the village dolls. , I tried a few times and couldn't get up.

   In the end, Liang Yuemin carried him and picked some mulberries from the lower branches.

   But the tall ones couldn't be picked, so the little fat man was so anxious that Liang Yuemin was sweating from exhaustion.

  I wanted to put my son down, and I wanted to show my father's masculinity, so I gritted my teeth.

At this time, Wang Zhenzhen saw how hard they were picking, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll help you pick it up." Like a little monkey, he hugged the trunk of the tree and scurried up the branch. It looks very nimble.

   "The little aunt is still amazing."

   The little fat man clapped his hands and applauded, his eyes full of envy.

  Xiao Yaya next to Wenxia also shouted vaguely: "Little Dudu, it's so boring."

Wang Zhenzhen pouted and didn't take it seriously. Climbing trees and climbing walls is a basic skill for rural children. Most boys and girls can do it. "Fat brother, let me go a little bit, I'm going to step down, I've stepped on the branches low, everyone come here. pick."

   Zhao Dahai hurriedly retreated after hearing the words.

   Then I saw Wang Zhenzhen gently stepping down a branch full of mulberries to the height that the adults had just been able to reach, and everyone went down to pick mulberries.

   After picking one branch after another, she didn't bring any pockets, so everyone just ate it while picking it. As for Wang Zhenzhen, you don't have to worry about it, she can eat it on the tree if she wants, and she can even pick up a higher place.

   Actually, the more you go up the mountain, the later the mulberries ripen, but they taste sweeter.

   The mulberries on these mulberry trees taste very good, especially the purple-black, fully ripe mulberries, which are soft and sweet, with a fragrance in the sweetness.

   And the purplish red and hard mulberries are sweet and slightly sour, and quite delicious.

After the    was taken off, everyone stuffed them into their mouths one by one, feeling that it was more enjoyable than eating thorns.

  Actually, mulberries, apart from birds and monkeys, don't have anything else to eat, so the mulberry trees are so full of fruit that they can't eat them at all.

   In the end, I was so addicted to it that not only everyone ate all over the mouth and hands full of purple, but also fed the three dogs all over their faces and mouths.

Among them, Zhao Dahai was the most funny. He was very close before. When Wang Zhenzhen stepped on the branch, many ripe mulberries fell off and hit him, dyeing the collar of his clothes purple. It looks like it's hung up.

But at this time, he no longer cared about running the mountain, but was completely immersed in the fun of the mountains that was difficult to understand at ordinary times. He didn't care about the spots on his body at all. Everyone laughed, and he laughed too. Laughing and joking with the big guys.
