My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 61

   Chapter 61 The fog

  It rained most of the night.

   Until four or five in the morning, the sound of the rain outside the window gradually subsided.

   So when I woke up in the morning, it was all white and foggy.

  The entire small mountain basin where Chenwangzhuang is located was shrouded in heavy fog.

   No one can be seen five steps away.

  Chen Ling had nothing to do after breakfast, so he went to Wang Lixian's house to borrow a scooter.

   After the people from the forest tree seed station bring the fruit tree seedlings over, they can also drive the cattle to pull them.

   Wang Lixian's scooter is a few years old. His family has no livestock, and the scooter is not used much, which makes it even more outdated.

   is incomparable with Wang Laishun's.

   However, Chen Ling was very tired of dealing with people like Wang Laishun's mother-in-law, so he didn't bother to borrow it there.

   On the way back after borrowing the scooter.

   I met a group of people from Wuyang and Wuyang who rushed out of the village, all to build a greenhouse for Chen Erzhu.

  Last night's heavy rain made the shed that had not been completely fixed yesterday collapsed and had to be rebuilt.

   Such a big stall is a big hassle.

   So early in the morning, Chen Erzhu shouted several times with the loudspeaker of the village committee, and asked people to go there early after dinner, saying that the fog was thicker today and it was harder than before, and he would give the villagers extra money.

   No, as soon as you hear the extra money, you go very early.

   No matter what is foggy and not foggy, they all say that you will pay extra, and you have to work even in the face of heavy fog.

   "Uncle Sangui, are you going to work?"

  Chen Ling parked the scooter on the side of the road to make way for this group of people.

   But when he saw an old man walking behind the crowd, his eyes lit up and he rushed forward to say hello.

   "Who?"

  The fog was so thick that the old man couldn't see people clearly.

   "I am rich."

   "Oh, it's wealth, you also go to work? Why didn't I see you a few days ago..."

  Chen Sangui is tall and thin, and his clothes are simple but neat, not as sloppy as other old men in the village.

   In addition to being clean, the biggest feature of this old man is that he walks very fast, but speaks very slowly.

   As long as you meet and say a few words, it is impressive.

   But I have to say that this old man's carpentry work is really beautiful, and there are people in several nearby villages and even the county town.

   became famous twenty years ago.

   "I'm not at Erzhu's side. I'm still busy with work in the fields. How can I have the time to work for him."

  Chen Ling explained and said again: "Uncle Sangui, if you're not busy in a few days, call me an ox cart."

   "The bullock cart?"

   "Oh yes, I almost forgot, your kid bought a little white cow from the set a while ago!"

  Chen Sangui laughed.

  The granddaughter often goes to Chen Ling's house to play, and when he goes to eat there, he will tell him some interesting things, and he naturally knows it.

   "It's easy to handle, it's just an ox cart, I'll make it for you."

   "Wait this Sunday, I'll have Kiko call you when it's done."

  This old man speaks very slowly, but he is a resolute person and works very neatly.

  Chen Ling was very pleasantly surprised when he heard it, and praised Chen Sangui with a thumbs up.

   Is it an old carpenter?

   "Are there any requirements for wood and size?"

   Chen Sangui asked.

   "There is no requirement for wood material, the size should be slightly larger. You can make the rest of Uncle Sangui."

  Chen Ling didn't say anything else, just let the old man do it according to his experience.

   "That's fine, nothing else, I'll go to work first."

   "Okay, Uncle Sangui walk slowly."

   After Chen Sangui left with a group of people, Chen Ling pushed the cart back home and put the cart in the backyard.

  Today is cloudy.

  The fog did not dissipate until about ten o'clock.

   Yesterday, I made an appointment with the people at the forest tree seed station and said that the fruit tree seedlings would be delivered at 2:00 in the afternoon.

  Chen Ling is not in a hurry.

  After cleaning up the cow dung in the backyard, I scrubbed a few large water tanks upside down in the yard.

   filled it with water, took some fish from the cave, and put them in.

   When you want to eat fish in the future, it is convenient to take it.

  The fish in Dongtian have been bred twice, and the previous fry have grown into half-sized fish.

   is just right to make the miscellaneous fish pot that Wang Susu likes to eat.

   Therefore, most of the fish that are placed in the big water tank are either big or small.

   "Let's keep it first, and when the old turtle eggs hatch, release two turtles, and you can eat them later if you want."

   The old turtles in Dongtian have been laying eggs for some days. In fact, Chen Ling just finished mating with the female turtles within two days of putting the male turtles in the cave.

   In addition, the cave has a suitable environment and contains mysterious substances that are beneficial to their growth.

   So the eggs are laid very quickly.

  Chen Ling counted, there were twenty-two.

  I didn't go to the cave too much. After I took some water plants from the cave and put them in the water tank, I took several bundles of iron wire ropes coiled in a circle, and carried a wooden ladder into the cave.

  The vegetables in Dongtian are growing more and more prosperous. The plants of tomatoes and eggplants are almost growing into 'small trees', and the fruits are so numerous that if they are not picked for a day, the branches will droop.

   If you can't finish eating it, it's not easy to sell it.

   Of course, he is not willing to sell it. The things in Dongtian have miraculous effects and are easy to arouse suspicion.

   There was no other way, so Chen Ling was going to hang the branches with wire ropes, or use a wooden stick to put a stone or a brick to support the branches to prevent them from drooping.

   is very effective for tomatoes and eggplants.

  Cucumbers and beans are even simpler for those with vines and climbing vines. A wire rope is tied between two big trees, and it can climb up by itself.

   In this way, Chen Ling was much more relieved.

   After cleaning up in the cave all morning, the small vegetable garden behind the hut is quite tidy.

   "It looks so much more pleasing to the eye, otherwise such a fairyland, such a mess, is really annoying..."

  Chen Ling muttered to himself with satisfaction, leaned on his **** and watched for a while before he got out of the cave.

   It was almost twelve o'clock at this time, and the fog still hadn't cleared up, but it had lightened a little.

   means that you can't see people from five steps away, and you can't see people ten steps away.

   is not much better.

   After all, they are a basin in the mountains. The overall terrain is low, and there is no wind and no sun. Once the fog starts, it will be difficult to dissipate.

   "This guy, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the saplings won't be delivered at two o'clock in the afternoon."

  Chen Ling looked around and thought, "I hope tomorrow will be a good weather."

   Then put the wooden ladder and the unused wire rope away, and prepare to go back to the front yard to make lunch.

   Just before he walked out the door, two small yellow things jumped down from the tree in front of the courtyard gate and stopped in front of him.

  Chen Ling looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you two here again?"

   It was the two yellow-skinned children from before.

These two little things are fat and thin. The fat one was almost poisoned to death, and the one who came over from the back was hiding behind the thin one, peeking at Chen Ling with pesized eyes, trying to get close to him but A little scared.

As for the skinny one, it picked up an egg from somewhere, about the size of an egg, and the green shell was a little light gray, not like a poultry egg.

   lightly placed in front of him, and called at him again in a low voice.

   Then he turned around and was about to leave with the fat yellow skin behind him.

   "Wait, don't go yet!"

  Chen Ling called the two yellow-skinned children to a halt, then took off the water ladle from the wall and filled some water from the Dongtian Stream, and handed it to the two little things.

   "Since you know what's good and bad, I won't treat you badly. Drink it."

   "Just in time to heal you."

   The skinny yellow-skinned man was stunned for a moment, and then he smelled an unusual smell, and excitement suddenly appeared in his two small eyes.

   The fat one called out, then walked to the water ladle in unison, and quickly drank the water from the Dongtian Stream.

   After drinking, the two yellow-skinned children were very excited, like two happy dogs, running around Chen Ling quickly.

   also shuttled back and forth between the trouser legs of his two legs, rubbing and licking his palms to express his intimacy.

   Now, even the fat one is not afraid of him anymore.

   In the end, he also stood up with the thin yellow-skinned man, played around him for a while, then ran up the wall and disappeared into Chen Ling's sight.

   After a while, Chen Ling retracted his gaze, frowned slightly, remembering the slightly bloated body of the fat yellow-skinned man before, and a strange thought suddenly appeared.

   "Isn't that idiot a pregnant woman with a cub?"

  If it's true, after Chen Ling caught it, it wouldn't be surprising that the thin one was so nervous and worried that it came to die and beg for mercy again.
