My 1995 Small Farm

 It was said that there was little rain in autumn this year, but it did come anyway.

　　It has been raining non-stop since last night. In the second half of the night, the rain became very heavy for a while, and it rained heavily for nearly an hour.

But after daybreak, there was only a drizzle.

“It rained well this time. It will last for at least two months, so we won’t have to water the wheat anymore.”

It rained, so my father-in-law stopped going out to herd the cows and sheep. Instead, he sat under the eaves and picked chili peppers with two old ladies.

Gao Xiulan laughed when she heard this: "That's right, it rained a lot at night, and the wheat fields were soaked by the rain, so there was no need to water them... Everyone in the village said there was going to be a drought this autumn, Li Xian, Dazhi and the others Everyone was in a hurry to water the wheat, but now it was all in vain."

Liang Hongyu had nothing to say about this matter, so she just asked: "Didn't Li Xian have two greenhouses at home? It can't rain, so it doesn't matter if we water them in advance."

 “Well, it’s nothing.”

Wang Cunye nodded: "But the greenhouse is the greenhouse's business. The vegetables grown in the greenhouse must be watered. The vegetables cannot survive without water, which is not the same as the wheat outside the greenhouse.

 They are still too impatient.

There are no wheat growers over there. According to Lingzi, after the wheat was planted, it was not too late to water it for a month. When they saw that the water in the river receded and the water in the reservoir also dropped quickly, they were too hasty.

 Plus, I was busy doing other things. "

“That’s right, there are rules for when to water this kind of crops.”

Liang Hongyu understood a little bit: "No wonder Rong and I couldn't keep up the small flowers and grass that we raised first. In this way, it's the wrong time to water and fertilize."

"Haha, sister, let me see. If you want to plant flowers and grass, you should plant a small garden in the yard now. Once you have planted it, you can plant it in a flower pot."

Wang Cunye laughed.

Gao Xiulan said: "Don't listen to him, he can't grow flowers. Hongyu, please take a rest. It takes a lot of time to choose peppers. Your skin is thin, and your hands will hurt soon."

"It's okay, it's okay, I should practice." Liang Hongyu waved her hands in refusal.

The chili peppers at home were not specially grown. There was a small strip left in the vegetable garden, about a person's width and six or seven meters long. Chen Dazhi's family happened to give them some chili seedlings, so they were planted.

The remaining seedlings were thrown away in the backyard near the kitchen without any use, and were never taken care of.

 Unexpectedly, one place grew more prosperous than the other.

There's nothing we can do about it. Sometimes it's better to just ignore it than to take care of it.

 After all, everyone at home can eat spicy food, so it would be a good thing to get some hot sauce when the time comes.

 Chen Ling has been in a good mood these past two days.

 The reply to the Animal Husbandry Magazine has a direction, and the follow-up has also been settled.

Furthermore, when I just went to send Wang Zhenzhen to school, I met Little Sheep coming back from the city and said that Liang Yuemin had asked someone to look for a shop in Bei'an for him, and he just had to find time to go there before the year. This was very reliable.

This is good, another thing has settled in my heart.

 It’s just a little thing that I can’t figure out.

His grandma's two little devils actually came to buy fish again. When they saw him returning from sending the little girl off, they chased him from the entrance of the village.

 When I arrived, I asked for two large buckets full of live fish.

 And they only buy expensive ones.

 Slender salmon and mullet are mostly the top food fish in these farms.

 Having said that, it’s not that Chen Ling doesn’t want to sell to them.

Anyway, giving money is more convenient than transporting it to the city. It saves you one trouble and gives you more money. Why not do it?

 That’s right, I was a little bit murmuring in my heart, I always felt that something was not right about these two guys.

How can two people eat so much fish?

 Take it to give as a gift?

 How to settle down locally?

Even if this is the case, you wouldn’t buy it every day, right?

Have been buying this for three days in a row.

 Chen Ling couldn't have imagined that the two little Japanese spent a lot of money buying fish every day to feed their garlic.

I buy their fish every day, but I don’t eat much of it myself, and I feed it all to their old turtles.

 Such a ridiculous thing really made him dare not think about it.

 “Lingzi, come and see, this leopard has pulled a bunch of worms.”

When I got home, my father-in-law shouted to me that the old man and Chen Ling were responsible for shoveling the poultry and livestock at home every day.

However, the old man liked Coyotito, so he left Chen Ling alone.

Now before the little boy is picked up, he goes to the backyard to shovel **** every day.

The leopard has been locked in the wooden building in the backyard for the past two days to prevent the family's puppies, tabby cats, or restless weasels from making trouble.

 After the old man shoveled the **** for Coyotito, he took a look at it.

 Mainly giving water.

 The same applies to everything raised at home. It’s OK to be short of food, but not water.

 “Did you get worms? It seems the medicine has worked after all.”

 Chen Ling's face lit up when he heard this. After the leopard was stressed, it ate very aggressively, but it only ate and did not poop.

 After taking deworming medicine once, he had no reaction, just like a constipated patient.

 Chen Ling did not dare to give the medicine for the second time to remove worms.

 Afraid that its thin body would not be able to bear it.

“Ang, it must be effective. I guess it’s been locked in a house. It’s dark and no one can be seen, so it’s not so scared.

 The things in the mountains have this virtue: they are afraid of people and light. "

 The old man said.

At this moment, Qin Yueru took the children's clothes and led the three little guys over: "This leopard is still so fierce. We don't dare to get close. When we get closer, it looks like it is going to overturn the cage... Fugui, hurry up." Deal with it, it smells terrible."

 “Okay, I’ll clean it up.”

 Chen Ling reached out and touched the tops of the heads of the three little guys. It had rained and they were all wearing thicker clothes today. It was rare that they were not so lively. He was still a little uncomfortable.

　　Without spending much time entertaining the children, he took the two Hei babies directly to the second floor of the wooden building in the backyard.

This is next to his hunting equipment room.

 When I opened the door, I was greeted by the pungent smell of urine and a faint, slightly moist smell.

The smell is said to be moist, probably because of the rainy day, and it is relatively light. You can only smell it if you smell it hard, but it is indeed unbearable.

Seeing Chen Ling open the door and walk in with the dog, the leopard in the iron cage in the northwest corner began to be frightened and bumped against the cage again, and made a terrifying hissing sound.

Moreover, since the windows were not open, it was raining, and the room was dim, the leopard's pupils were also glowing with a faint light, and it looked a bit scary. No wonder Qin Yueru and the others did not dare to approach.

Chen Ling didn't even look at it at this time. He directly opened all the windows to let in the light and diffuse the smell...

 Then I went to the cage to see the leopard's poop.

“Did you see it? There’s basically nothing in the poop, it’s just bugs!” the father-in-law walked in and said.

 “Well, it’s quite serious, I need to feed it again.”

 Chen Ling saw the leopard excrement that fell on the lower floor of the cage. Although it rolled on the sand, there was nothing in it. It was just a bunch of worms.

 An insect shaped like leopard excrement.

Earthworms are as thick as threads and are entangled with each other.

 Looking disgusting.

“No wonder this leopard is so shriveled and thin. It turns out that not only is it injured on the outside, but there are so many bugs in its belly. Even if it finds food to eat and enters its belly, the nutrients will also be eaten by the bugs.

 It’s strange that the body can be strong. "

Chen Ling muttered quietly, and then went downstairs to get some raw venison and anthelmintics.

 Mixed them together and fed them to the leopards. My father-in-law didn't get too close, so he just watched him holding meat with tongs and feeding it to the leopard.

The old man felt a little happier only when the little dogs smelled the smell and ran upstairs in groups, wagging their tails at him.

 “Open the window, the smell in this room is much better.”

“Lingzi, please pull out the sand from under the cage, and I’ll replace it with some new sand. This leopard’s urine smells very irritating.”

“I’ll change it, dad, don’t worry about it... Actually, this leopard can’t be kept at home for a few days. I’ll give it away as soon as it’s healed.”

 Chen Ling said as he pulled out a bag of sand from under the cage.

Since the bottom of the iron cage was empty, Chen Ling was afraid that the leopard would urinate on the floor, so he laid two layers of urea bags and plastic sheets underneath, and added a layer of sand.

 Treat it like a cat, letting it urinate on it.

 It’s easier to deal with in the house.

After taking care of the leopard's feces and urine problem, Chen Ling closed the doors and windows of the room again and went to clean up the feces of the little quail in the glass tank downstairs.

 Then I saw that the rain had basically stopped, and the sky was just filled with mist.

When the wind blows, fine water mist drifts down. This kind of weather is still suitable for staying at home.

 Chen Ling looked around and felt that the livestock pen outside could not be left alone. If there were too many animals, the smell of feces and urine would be bad enough if they were not removed for a day.

Since there was nothing to do, Chen Ling went to the livestock pen to defecate.

In addition to sheep dung, cow dung, horse dung, and quail dung, chickens, ducks, and geese cannot go out in this weather, so they must also be cleaned up.

 After working for a while, all the excrement was cleaned up and Chen Ling piled it next to the vegetable garden.

“Hey, you two little guys, you are so brave. It’s so rare today that you dare to ask for food from others.”

At this time, with surprise in his eyes, Chen Ling stopped next to an empty livestock pen. At the small door, there were two small muntjacs, one big and one small. The big one was about the size of a lamb. It had its front legs lying on the wall, with its back He held up his nose and sniffed at Chen Ling.

The little one is not as big as a domestic cat, but it looks much better than the previous kitten. It is shaking its head next to the big one, rubbing its head against the iron door in front of it like a lamb, and seems to want to It's like being pushed open.

 “Come, touch it for me.”

 Chen Ling reached out and touched the big head. Not only did he not hide, he also licked Chen Ling's hand.

This kind of behavior can be regarded as intimacy, but it is not very intimate.

 Because there is salt on human hands, they like to lick them.

 It can only be said that this timid guy has finally reached the point where he is not afraid of people at all.

 This makes Chen Ling very happy.

Then the hands began to push further and further.

He slowly touched the top of the little muntjac's head downwards. At first, the little muntjac shivered when he was touched like this, but his eyes were quickly attracted by a leaf in Chen Ling's hand. He opened his mouth like a little lamb, Just bite it with your mouth and tear it apart, then eat it crunchily.

After stroking the big one twice, Chen Ling felt that it was still not satisfied, so he bent down and reached out to pick up the little boy next to him who was rubbing his head.

This little thing is too light. Mainly because it doesn't struggle, it just hangs its legs and looks at him curiously with pure and watery eyes like a deer.

 Chen Ling held it lightly in his hands.

After masturbating twice, I felt that although the little cub was cute and cuddly, it was still too small and it would be better for its mother to masturbate.

 The flesh on the body feels comfortable to the touch.

So he put it back and continued to feed the big ones with leaves. He also made some cornmeal and mixed it with salt and cabbage leaves, just like feeding ducks, so that the little muntjac mother could eat it to its fullest.

　　"It's good if you can eat. The weather is getting colder, so you'll be warm if you're full."

 Chen Ling touched it twice more and returned home satisfied. It was almost time for dinner.

It's raining lightly. Needless to say, the weather is such that the fish pot must be arranged.

It makes no sense that two little Japanese eat fish every day, but they can’t bear to eat it, right?

 Besides, Wang Susu will be pregnant in the next two days, and this is her favorite food.

 If you haven’t said anything, just deal with it.

 Chen Ling has been busy fishing and killing fish for a while, while her father-in-law and the others are still busy selecting peppers. This is not an easy job. They just did it while chatting, but it is actually very labor-intensive and time-consuming.

“Hey, you said that the big bosses outside have given them money, picked out puppies, and marked them, so why aren’t they taken away?”

　　　My father-in-law is not happy even when he is working.

He had raised the little puppy for so long, and when he first wanted to sell it, he was reluctant to part with it.

 But now that he has sold it and is not being taken away, he feels awkward.

Especially when choosing chili peppers, these puppies were still playing around him, and the more he looked at them, the more reluctant he was to part with them.

It is true that if you buy it, take it away as soon as possible and leave it here without caring about it, which will make the old man suffer a lot.

"These people have a lot of bad habits. Just go ahead and count them. Aren't we reluctant to leave immediately when people come from somewhere? We have to stay for a few more days to survive or die."

Gao Xiulan's tone was disgusting, but her words were inevitably a little proud: "We are uneducated, and we don't know what to say. Anyway, those people are rich, but they don't have much knowledge. It's rare to see things like ours."

Liang Hongyu laughed and said that after staying outside for a long time, many things here are indeed attractive, otherwise Teacher Zhao and Professor Zhong would not move here to live in seclusion.

Wang Cunye was not in the mood to listen to these words, so he shouted to Chen Ling by the ditch: "Lingzi, when did these people take the dogs away? Did they tell you?"

“He said he would stay for nine days and pay some tribute to Prince Turtle... After today’s prayers, he seemed to have gone to see Sister Xiufen. I don’t know if he wanted to see a doctor or something else.”

Chen Ling said casually.

Since these people came here and since they encountered the so-called Lord Turtle's apparition, they have been inspired with unprecedented enthusiasm.

In addition to burning incense and kowtowing to the statue of Lao Turtle and worshiping along the river at the place where Lao Turtle often hangs out, they are also interested in all the local mysterious things.

Who in the village has a mysterious color? There must be no one except Sister-in-law Xiufen.

The prescription does not collect money, and it has long been famous.

So they all lined up to go. One said he had heart palpitations and couldn't sleep, and the other said there was a birthmark on his body that hurt...

Even a few members of the Journey to the West crew and two Zhou Weijun have been fooling around with them these days.

Wang Cunye was helpless after hearing this, but when it came to the old turtle, he didn't say anything else. He just couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, these people, they just bought the dog and forgot about it..."

 Chen Ling laughed and said, "They also said they were going to Huangni Town to visit the cannery. Isn't this the same as if there was no such thing?"

Gao Xiulan still said the same thing: "There are so many strange things here that they haven't seen before. You, an uneducated old man, what are you worrying about?"

 The light rain lasted for half a day and gradually became heavier in the afternoon.

Of course rainy days are also good.

 The steaming hot pot of mixed fish warms the heart and body. Family members sit around the pot and the lights are friendly.

It’s so warm and cozy, it’s the best.

It's just that the mountains were not very peaceful tonight. In the second half of the night, wolves howled, far and near, and the noise lasted for most of the night.

 Fortunately, the dogs in the village are very calm and guarded by dogs, and the poultry and livestock are also peaceful and not restless.

I found out the next day that it wasn’t that the dogs in the village didn’t bark, but that Heiwa and Xiaojin had already gone out at four or five in the morning.

 The reason is that another wild beast came down the mountain at night.

 Go and attack the cattle, sheep and pig pens in the village.

 The male wild boar that often came to the village at night was injured.

 The reason why there were almost no dogs barking in the second half of the night was because the battlefield was near Laohe Bend.

　　The old boar guarding a pigsty first started fighting with the beast that came down the mountain.

Later, Hei Wa and two others arrived with the village dogs.

 The outcome of the battle is unknown.

 Because the muddy path in the early morning was full of footprints left by dogs, even the traces of wild beasts that broke into the village were covered.
