MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-v2 Chapter 433

  Chapter 433

   "How is it, rich and noble, holding the net all day long, is there any wild pigeons in the net?"

  Ruirui and a group of kids were wreaking havoc on the ant nest under the tree, and the villagers rushing to the meal were staring at Chen Ling's two big bird nets and asked.

   "No, I haven't seen a few wild pigeons, and I haven't bothered to squat these days, and I haven't caught a single one..."

  Chen Ling originally wanted to use his two little pigeons as pigeon lures to lure wild pigeons to the bird net, but this required someone to guard them.

  He hasn't put much thought into this these days. Of course, this is also the reason why there are fewer wild pigeons than other birds.

  If they were as diverse as the turtledoves, a large flock would save him worry.

Wang Lixian said: "In fact, there are quite a lot of wild pigeons, but these guys fly far away, change places frequently, and rarely find food in one place, and they also like to fly in the sky. There are groups of more than ten pigeons in the morning and evening. , twenty...

  Now at this time, the wheat is about to ripen, and they also come to eat the wheat, but compared to the simple pigeons, they are very sophisticated, and usually avoid people there. "

   "That's right."

  Chen Ling nodded, thinking that he had to get up early to squat.

   "Haha, Lixian still understands this...Fugui, you have so many birds here, basically you have all kinds of birds. Why do you look for wild pigeons. Is this thing also valuable?"

   "Well, I can't tell if it's worth it or not. I haven't inquired about it. I just keep it for fun. I want to train it to be a carrier pigeon. If you want to follow it, just follow me online."

   "Ah, those who raise pigeons, we can't raise them."

   Upon hearing this, many people's minds became lightened.

  Doves are difficult to raise? It is not difficult to raise, but there are few in the mountains.

  Besides, if there are too many pigeons, they like to land on the roof. If their claws are not honest, they will turn over the roof tiles. It will be troublesome when it rains heavily.

  Here, it is not uncommon to raise chickens and ducks in ten miles and eight towns. I have never heard of anyone raising pigeons, and only people like Chen Ling who are more leisurely can raise them.

  The adults chatted, and Yaya hurried to Chen Ling, raised her head and complained loudly: "Uncle, Ruirui doesn't care about hygiene anymore. He urinates in the ant nest and uses urine and mud."

  Chen Ling heard the words and quickly turned to look over.

  Wang Lixian and the others didn't care, and laughed loudly: "What about pee mud? Who hasn't played it when they were young, you are anxious to see the wealth."

  At this moment, Chen Ling saw that his son was mixing the mud with a small wooden stick, so he looked away in relief and laughed along with him.

  Indeed, the little doll only cares about playing, and doesn't care about cleanliness or hygiene.

   "Okay, Yaya, I will take him to wash his hands later, and I will take you to the village to play."

  Chen Ling touched the back of the little girl's head and smiled slightly.

  Zhao Dahai and Shanmao's two families went to the village to find someone to build a thatched house.

  He happened to be going to find Chen Sangui to make some beehives later, and he could take the dolls to play along the way.

  But before they were ready to leave, Zhao Dahai and the others brought people over.

  Go to the mountain to cut bamboo.

  Chen Ling thought about it, if he went to the mountain, he would go to the mountain, so he picked up his son, called a bunch of little dolls, and followed.

   "I'm going too, it's just about to be the Dragon Boat Festival, I should make some baskets, get some new bamboo chairs, and go to the county town for the temple fair." Chen Dazhi put away his job and followed.

  He is a bamboo craftsman, of course he can also be called a bamboo craftsman. He specializes in making some daily farm utensils from bamboo, including brooms, baskets, tables, chairs and benches.

  Spring also helped Yu Qian and the others weave birdcages, the craftsmanship was very delicate.

  When there are big fairs and temple fairs, they will go to stalls to sell.

"Oh, why don't you tell me that I have forgotten that the bamboo plaque in my house is also broken. Last year, when the goji berries were drying out, a group of **** magpies fell from the roof, so I also went to cut some bamboo to make two indivual."

  As soon as Chen Ling and Chen Dazhi left, the others followed suit.

  Someone on the road also asked: "You also contracted the bamboo forest in Fugui, right? We have so many people going up the mountain, why don't we cut things down for you?"

   "Haha, it's okay. Many of you haven't been to the bamboo forest. It's a huge area. Besides, bamboo is cut down for use. As long as you don't dig the roots, what can be done?"

   Bamboo, as long as the bamboo whips growing underground are still there, even if the bamboo on the ground is cut down, it will grow back in a short time.

   What's more, there are so many tall old bamboos in such a large bamboo forest, and they can't use a few of them.

  If you don't go to Yamanakako, there are many bamboo bushes in Shitougou on the west side of Beishan, where Chen Ling met the red deer for the first time.

  However, those bamboos are relatively thin, about the size of a human finger, and are generally suitable for building shelves for fruits and vegetables, or for inserting small fences in vegetable gardens.

   As serious building materials, bamboo weaving and the like are useless.

  There are many types of bamboo, but they can grow tall, but not thick. No matter how thick the species is, they can only grow so thick.

  So it is better to get the bamboo on the Yamanakako side.

   "No wonder the old men of our two families like this place. The scenery here is very good. It is so hot in the village in the afternoon. It is similar to Fugui's farm here. It is very cool and has a lake view."

   Arriving at Lake Yamanaka, Bobcat said with a chopping knife in one hand and his hips in the other.

  Zhao Dahai nodded beside him: "What you said is, I would also like to live here in summer if it were me."

  Just as he finished speaking, a splash of water suddenly appeared by the lake, startling the fat man, "My mother, what's in the water? Could it be that there are water monsters in this lake?"

   "What water monster? It's a big old turtle laying eggs by the water." Wang Lixian said calmly, poking the grass on the shore of the lake with a stick.

   Said to Chen Ling: "This savage ditch used to be bottomless, but now it's full of water, so there's no telling what's there."

"Yeah yeah."

   Chen Ling also agreed when he heard the words.

  In fact, this is the old turtle he let go, the son and grandson of Garlic.

   I just didn’t expect that it would start laying eggs just a few days after it was released.

"That head is quite big, why don't you come here and catch it at night? Go back to stew **** soup, and give it a nest of eggs?" Drooling.

  He heard from Chen Ling that it was easier to catch this old turtle that laid eggs at night, because it didn't lay eggs all at once.

  And the old turtles are more cautious during the spawning period, and usually come out to lay eggs at night.

  Just watch the place where the eggs are laid and wait for it to come. It’s best to catch it at this time.

   "You only know how to eat, but you don't know the rules in the mountains after you've been here for so long."

   Shanmao kicked him: "I don't want to kill Xia Xia's mother, and I don't want to kill her cubs, let alone such a big old turtle."

   "Hey, I'm not joking."

  Zhao Dahai smiled, walked to the bamboo grove later, and took advantage of the situation: "Is it necessary to cut up the bamboo? Cut too close to the root, so it is easy to hurt it."

   Everyone laughed now, and Chen Ling also patted him on the shoulder and said, "Learn and use it flexibly, Brother Dahai, but bamboo is fine, as the same sentence says, you won't be afraid if you don't dig the roots."

   Then put Rui Rui down, and let them play with a group of little dolls at a distance.

  He also carried a chopping knife, picked a suitable bamboo, and raised the knife at the bamboo body. With a click, he chopped off a large bamboo with a large bamboo branch and bamboo leaves at the top.

  Maybe there were a lot of people and there was a lot of noise, until they carried the bamboo down the mountain, the two mountain donkeys never showed up.

   "There are a lot of red-billed jade here... Huh? What kind of bird is that, like a big fool, why is it wandering here alone?"

   "Qingzhuang, this thing is usually alone."

   "Well, yes, some people often go to the small river ditch behind my farm to eat fish, and they don't bother to care about them."

  Although there are many waterfowls, they generally have a strong fishy smell, and Chen Ling doesn't bother to catch them.

  However, when waterfowls are in the breeding season, what is more annoying than other wild birds is their constant barking, which is more noisy.

   Fortunately, it hasn't been long, and it will be interesting to get used to it.

   Just as he was talking, he just came down from Beishan, and there was a flutter of chickens and dogs in the orchard.

  A big grass-yellow cat leaps out of the grass with a gray water bird in its mouth, followed by a flock of big geese that spread their wings fiercely in pursuit.

   "Oh, your big goose is so fierce, it dares to chase the mountain raccoon." Wang Lixian shouted.

  Chen Ling's eyes were fixed, "This mountain raccoon is always stealing chickens and dogs. He didn't eat after the snow last winter. He ate the Chinese cabbage in my vegetable cellar and the steamed buns in the kitchen."

   "Man, so wild."

   "Yeah, I'm so hungry..."

   "Lingzi, something is coming, and it made the big goose make a fuss."

  Wang Cunye held a whip to drive sheep, and led a group of big dogs with their tongues sticking out and excited faces sniffing around eagerly.

   "The mountain raccoon came to catch the waterfowl and surprised the big goose."

  Great geese are relatively fierce. If you keep them at home, they can guard the house and protect the yard. They can also guard against mice and weasels, but if you are a mountain raccoon, you generally cannot guard against them.

   It means that Chen Ling's family raises a lot of geese, and if something comes to their territory, they will frantically chase it.

  Wang Cunye was taken aback for a moment: "Could it still be that big thieves cat?"

   "Well, it looks like it is it." Chen Ling was also very helpless, that big, thieving cat was related to his family very much, and the two litters of raccoons in the orchard were its cubs.

  The little cat who eats and drinks with the dogs at home is also its cub.

  But they don’t even recognize it anymore. When they see it, they chase it, bite it, and chase it to fight.

  The fight is fierce, and it looks like a killer.

   That's it, the big thieving cat still hangs around the farm every now and then.

  Chen Ling secretly poked and thought more than once: "If it weren't for this thief's good genes, the dog would have killed him long ago just by working so hard."

  This guy is covered in grass-yellow and is not beautiful, but whether it is a little tabby cat or the two male mountain raccoons, the fur color of the cubs is more beautiful than the other.

  So Chen Ling left it alive, and then we'll see what happens to its next litter.

   If it looks good, it will be caught and raised again.

  Anyway, following it to suffer in the wild, it might as well be kept in a farm.

   "Hey, this big thieving cat has really taken a fancy to us."

  Wang Cunye sighed, then turned around and yelled twice, Erhei and the others excitedly drove the flock over.

  Heiwa Xiaojin circled around Ruirui.

   "Ruirui, let's go and herd the sheep with Grandpa."

  Wang Cunye put on a straw hat, raised his whip, smiled as a baby boy, and followed Chen Ling and the others to the village.

  In the area of ​​Chenwangzhuang, there are two steep slopes, high in the north and low in the south.

  The inside and outside of the village can be clearly seen from the terrain.

   It’s just that inside the village, it’s not as obvious as outside the village because of the villagers’ house building and a series of renovations.

  In fact, these two steep slopes extend very long, and there is one behind the school and Dayantang.

  Many trees were planted on the slope, with green grass under the trees, and a small piece of farmland was reclaimed, mostly cotton, soybeans, mung beans, sorghum crops, or some vegetables.

  It is also a good place where the villagers often herd sheep and cattle, and the little dolls often play.

   Zhao Yubao and the others chose some gentle places on the **** to build their houses.

   But now I plan to follow Chen Ling's suggestion and build two thatched huts first.

He also said that these two slopes are no worse than the bamboo forest in the mountain lake. Such a large grass **** is full of green grass, and it only needs a simple layout. .

  Seeing that Chen Ling and the others came here carrying bamboo, and that the place where Zhao Yubao and the others built their houses was also on the side of the slope, Wang Cunye drove the cattle and sheep over to join in the fun.

  Because Chen Ling wanted to add two more boxes of bees, he released some of the bees in Dongtian. After putting down the bamboo, he took his son and led Yaya to the village to find Chen Sangui and build a few more beehives.

Now the circle of flowers and trees growing outside the farm wall is like a fence, dense and vigorous. Some flowers bloom in the morning, some bloom in the evening, and some flowers bloom all day long. Bees are busy flying around every day. , so lively.

  Wang Susu has no feelings for bees, but mainly likes flowers and plants, and likes the atmosphere of bees and butterflies surrounding flowers and plants.

   The young couple coincided with each other.

  For an old carpenter like Chen Sangui, beehives are easy to make and a piece of cake.

  Chen Ling looked at Ruirui, who was like a curious baby, for a while, and then returned to his home in the village.

  At this time, Wang Zhenzhen took Xizi and Yaya, and took a bottle of grasshoppers to feed the birds.

  Ruirui hurriedly struggled out of his arms when he saw it, and rushed over to play with him.

  Chen Ling ignored them and went into the house to help Wang Susu tidy up the pharmacy.

  Put the dried medicinal materials into the medicine cabinet, and then pour the dried medicinal materials into round bamboo plaques and place them under the grape trellis.

  Chinese medicinal materials, many need to be dried, but not exposed to the sun.

   "This medicinal material is used up pretty quickly..." Chen Ling saw that there were only a small half of many medicinal herbs left.

   It's time to go to the mountains to collect herbs again, but it's a good thing.

  It proves that Wang Susu's medicine is spread out. Although it looks inconspicuous on weekdays, it can still be maintained by a long stream of water.

  Going into the house again, I opened Wang Susu's memorized account book, which has been quite thick for half a year.

   There are not many debts, but more symptoms and medications. I remember very carefully.

  Chen Ling laughed when he saw this, thinking that after the Dragon Boat Festival, after harvesting the wheat, he would hurry to the mountains to gather some medicine.

  My daughter-in-law likes to make this, so I can't even have the medicinal materials I use every day.

  Just as he put the ledger back in the drawer, the curtain at the door was lifted, and a small head came in and smiled at him: "Uncle Fugui, are you going to catch scorpions at night? It's cool at night, take Ruirui to play together."

   "Huh? Liu Nier, when did you come? I didn't even hear your bluffing in the yard."

   "Uncle Fugui, you always wronged me, when did I cry?"

  Liu Nier yelled at Qu Dao.

  Suddenly a small figure ran over, trying to enter the room from his side, but was blocked by the curtain.

  The little head was pressed against the calico curtain, and it was covered under the calico curtain, and the little head and hands were under the curtain, the top was bulging, and they ran from left to right, but they couldn't get out.

   "Huh? Why are you here, Rui Rui?"

  Liu Nier took a look here, and hurried to help him open the curtain.

Unexpectedly, the little man was already wearing the cloth curtain, screaming 'Yi Ya' vigorously, a little foot stepped over the threshold with all his strength, and he flicked it so that the little man's foot became unsteady, and he sat on his buttocks. Inside the threshold.

  The little thing didn't know what was going on at this time. He sat on the ground, looked at Liu Nier with a blank face, and then looked at Chen Ling.

   After seeing clearly that it was Chen Ling, he suddenly laughed and pointed out: "Dad~"

   "What's the matter, what's going on outside?"

  Chen Ling walked over, picked him up, and patted the dirt on his body.

   "Aunt~"

   "Haha, is it because your aunt doesn't take you to play?"

Liu Nier answered first from the side: "It's not Uncle Fugui, it's my aunt and two wives talking outside the door, Rui Rui called their aunt, and the boss of our village Yusun also came, as if to say looking for you."

   "Then you don't talk about this, and call me to catch scorpions when you come." Chen Ling shot him in the head.

   "Hey, Uncle Fugui, I came here to find you to catch scorpions. I want to save money to buy a car like my little aunt's."

   "Oh? I want to buy a car, okay. When you get the first place in the exam, you don't need to save money, and you don't need to pay for it. Uncle will buy you a car. What do you think?"

   Chen Ling said with a smile.

   "Huh? First place? Uncle Fugui, you ask me, why don't you ask me to harvest the wheat for you."

Liu Nier suddenly put on a bitter face: "I'm going to harvest ten acres of wheat for you. I can't finish harvesting in one day, or in two days. When I finish harvesting, I won't be the first in the exam. You can't count on it in the year of the monkey." .”

   "Hahaha, okay, not bad, not bad, the year of the monkey will be used, and watching TV is not in vain."

  Chen Ling patted his head, and was about to tease the little monkey again, when he heard a woman's voice and Sun Yanhong's shout from the courtyard.

   "Fugui, Fugui, Boss Chen, I'm sending you money..."

   "I haven't come out for a long time. I have a big deal to discuss with you this time."
