My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 676

 Herding cattle and picking up wild goose dung, Chen Ling slowly wandered to Laohewan.

 Now the river beach on Laohewan is basically full of cows.

After the incident involving Lao Guang's young bull, many families went to the east of the village to herd their cattle.

Two old men, Zhao Yubao, created the small river, which is convenient for grazing cattle. Wild ducks fall there every day, and they form a group when they land. They often mix with the domestic ducks in the village and fish in the river.

 I have seen Chen Ling alone many times.

There are not many wild ducks in Laohewan. Some are just larger water birds, such as Egret Qingzhuang.

 Arrived at Laohewan, Ruirui shouted to catch the turtle again.

The brat soon got tired of playing with other things.

 Only the turtle he always likes to catch and play with.

In addition, turtles such as wheat field turtles can recognize people when they are raised well. As long as Rui Rui calls them in a sweet voice, they will crawl to Rui Rui. Of course the brat likes it.

“There are no turtles now. It's cold, and the turtles have all gone to the mountains.”

 Chen Ling half-coaxed and half-deceived, the wheat field tortoise is a tortoise that prefers land tortoises. Of course, it cannot lack water or be too dry.

  But in normal times, they are not often near the water, and their range of activities is still very wide.

 Otherwise, they wouldn't go to wheat fields far away from the water to lay eggs during the summer harvest every year.

 In late autumn, most of them will indeed go back to the mountains and find good places to dig holes for the winter.

“Come, dad will take you to catch fish. We will eat fish at noon. Have you forgotten that mom loves to eat fish pots the most?”

Ruirui frowned and thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "Yes, mommy will eat it."

Seeing that he had coaxed his son, Chen Ling took him to the waterside, dug through the basket for collecting wild goose dung, and took out two beard cages.

 This is naturally placed in the cave.

But Ruirui didn't care about this. He stared at the water surface and saw the layers of small fry floating on it. There were too many fish and he couldn't drive them away.

　　That's true.

As long as the temperature does not drop suddenly and the water does not freeze, these fry will survive.

 There was less rain this autumn than in previous years, and the water level in the river was also much lower than usual.

These big fish and small fish are extremely easy to catch.

 Chen Ling reached out and picked up a handful of fry. He picked some larger ones and smashed them with stones. After the fishy smell came out, he stuffed the fish meat into the cage and threw it into the water.

 Finished two beard cages.

Chen Ling rummaged through some gourds and pumpkins from the withered weeds and wild vines at the foot of the mountain.

There are a lot of these things in the wild.

People can't finish eating, and sometimes they don't eat wild things.

 So these are quite big.

Chen Ling used the head of a sickle to dig a small hole in each of the gourds and pumpkins.

Then use broken reed poles, cut them into half-lengths, and insert them into the small holes in the gourds and pumpkins one by one, as if opening a small window and adding a few iron bars.

The gap between the fences is for fish and shrimp to enter and exit.

 Throw a few wheat grains into it, or small fish with a strong fishy smell after being crushed by stones.

 Throw it into the water to catch fish like a sparong.

 Speaking of which, there are so many fish in the river now that you can catch a handful at a time. It is much easier to lower the net to catch them.

But taking care of a baby is just for fun.

Sure enough, when Ruirui saw what he was tinkering with, he was attracted. He was so anxious that he called his father repeatedly and asked Chen Ling to teach him.

 But he is too young now, and he actually has no idea of ​​asking his father to teach him. He just thinks this thing is fun and wants to play it himself.

Even though these pumpkins and gourds were huge, he was not afraid. He squealed loudly, lifted them up with all his strength, and smashed them into the water.

He heard the hollow pumpkins and gourds bubble gurglingly after being filled with water, and he screamed happily and jumped up and down.

 Then he asked Chen Ling to do it for him, and he continued to throw it.

After a while, not only did the little buffalo come over to take a look at the grass curiously, but also Afu and Shou ran out of home and sneaked over.

Heiwa Xiaojin also followed behind.

When Chen Ling saw it, he said, "Hei Wa, go home and get a bucket."

Heiwa turned around and ran away.

Afu and Ashou also turned around and ran back.

These two guys have been in the zoo for a long time, and they can't sit still when they return to the country. They like to have fun everywhere.

“Afu and Shou, don't follow me. I'll take you to the mountains to play in the afternoon.”

Chen Ling stopped them. After the two guys lost their baby fat, they grew bigger and scarier. If they didn't follow the family, it would be better not to let them wander around freely.

　　When the two guys heard this, they howled twice in a low voice.

Slowly turned around, came to Chen Ling, licked him with squinted eyes, then stared at the slight noise in the reeds and pricked up his ears.

I was alert for a while, then turned my head back and forth while staring at the reed flowers fluttering in the wind.

 After a while, I followed the father and son to the waterside to catch fish.

 They are still like children, still unable to calm down.

 When Heiwa came over with the bucket in his mouth, Chen Ling took out the beard cage and picked out all the pumpkins and gourds.

 The crackling fish are all big fish.

 There are also many loaches and catfish.

 In less than half an hour, half a barrel of fish was produced.

 The water is now shallow and many catfish are injured.

 Some even had a large piece of meat missing, which looked very scary.

 Chen Ling frowned a little and decided to go back and chop the meat to feed the ducks.

Those small fish will not be thrown away either.

 Go home and feed the fish in the tank.

Since the apprentice left, no one has fed the fish.

After catching the fish, Ruirui saw a beautiful fox looking across the Laohe Bend. The father and son took the dog and tiger for a walk on Nanshan Mountain, but they couldn't find the fox. Instead, they used a slingshot to fight with the wild monkeys. battle.

Then he slowly came down the mountain, picked up half a bucket of fish, called two buffaloes and went home.

 “Fugui, Fugui, I have your letter!”

 “Keep an eye on your tiger, otherwise I won't dare to go there!”

The young man who delivered the letter was riding a large 28-meter pole with a heavy mail parcel hanging on it. He stopped in the distance and called him. "Come here, don't be afraid, they don't bite."

 Chen Ling patted Ah Shou's big head, and the two tigers hid behind him in coordination.

The young man who delivered the letter came over on his bicycle.

 There are a lot of letters coming this time.

Chen Ling was looking through the pages as he walked home.

 There is a thank you letter from the crew of Water Margin.

 There are reminders from animal husbandry magazines.

 A greeting from a pen pal.

 There were also letters sent to him by people he did not know.

 The most important thing is Yu Qian's letter.

 Chen Ling hadn't opened the other letters yet, so when she saw this letter, she took it out and read it first.

There was no news from this old boy as soon as he returned. Lao Zhou said that he was busy with marriage, which was too general.

The truth was told to Chen Ling in the letter, and it was because he was educated by his parents.

His parents are serious people, but they always think that he is idle, walking his dog while walking a hawk. He is still out of tune at the age of thirty, and he does not look like a child from a serious family.

 So he did not dare to take back the packhorse left here too early.

 It's only now that the marriage has been settled, and his partner is around to say good things, things are slowly getting better.

Yu Qian finally dared to bring these animals home.

Otherwise, for his parents, making money from these animals is undoubtedly like the children of later generations who were told that they could make money by playing games in the early years when online games came out. Not bad.

 “This old boy, it's good, he settled the marriage smoothly.”

 Chen Ling frowned after reading the letter. He and Yu Qian had a bit of a mutual affinity.

But it's not as crazy as him, and it doesn't have as many hobbies as him.

Like the horse farm that Yu Qian built in later generations, there were not only cattle, horses and sheep, but also peacocks, ostriches, and camels. It was almost like a zoo.

 It's just a matter of raising elephants.

He can't tinker with that much. As he goes in, he goes out... There is a clear distinction between what is raised for fun, what is a companion, and what is raised for meat.

Yu Qian said that he would come over in two weeks at most.

 Let's talk about some things when he comes.

Just as he was about to read the rest of the letter, several people came down from the mountain behind: "Boss Chen, can I have dinner at your house at noon? We will pay for the food!"

 Chen Ling looked up and said with a smile: "I can't do it these days. There are a lot of things at home. I have to go into the mountains every day. You can go to the village and ask."

 “That's okay.”

These people responded and looked at Ah Fu and Ah Shou beside Chen Ling with curious eyes.

Unlike the folks in the village, they didn't dare to talk about the two tigers. They just watched from a distance.

I'm a little surprised that this tiger is holding something in its mouth like a dog.

 It looks like there are fish in this bucket. Do tigers also eat fish? !

 Ah, no, how did this tiger become like this? !

“Have you photographed the red-crowned crane?” Chen Ling asked, seeing their nervous expressions.

“No, I saw a nest by the lake. Even after waiting all morning, I still didn't see them return to their nest. It's probably until the sun sets.”

　A few people had expressions of regret on their faces.

“Well, the little cranes have been out of their nests for a while, and they are flying very far these days.”

Chen Ling said.

Then he said no more, took the fish bucket from Ashou's mouth, and went home to cook.

 When I got home, I picked up the fish and read the letter.

 The letters from the crew of Water Margin and the animal husbandry magazine are not surprising.

 Chen Ling usually reads pen pal's letters at night before going to bed.

 I haven't taken it apart yet.

 It was those strange letters that surprised Chen Ling.

These letters were actually written by outsiders who had visited the village before.

 The letters all say the same thing.

I saw the cartoon about Heiwa Xiaojin on TV.

 Some people are asking what the story is based on.

I want to see the original work.

 Some people asked if there were any puppies left.

 After watching the cartoon, the children at home really wanted a puppy.

 They want to raise smart puppies who can understand words.

It's better to be clean…

 Some people admire how big his business is.

 Just make a cartoon.

 It's actually linked to instant noodles.

The quality of the instant noodles is so good.

 It's really amazing.

 There is also a letter from Xiao Han, saying that CCTV has received a lot of letters recently.

 Many of them are letters from children.

 Ask Heiwa Xiaojin if he really exists.

 Will it protect them from nightmares at night?

 In short, the various questions in the letter made Chen Ling laugh out loud.

I didn't expect that at this time, my farm would become popular because of cartoons.

“But it's a good thing. If nothing else, at least the breeding progress of Bobcat and I can be accelerated!”

 Chen Ling thought of the dogs that were being matched at the Bobcat dog farm one after another, and thought that when the Bobcat comes back, it will definitely give him a big surprise this time. (End of chapter)
