My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 65 Eggshell

   "No, no, no, Lingzi, why are you like this now?"

  Han Chuang suddenly cried and cried.

   "One fierce brother, one you, I used to want to live in the game room, why did I say that I don't want to play and stop playing..."

   "You're fine, and you're willing to show up. Brother Meng, I haven't seen him in years, and there's no one to look for in his house. The door is locked every day, and the neighbors also say that they haven't seen him for a long time, so they don't know what they're doing."

   "If you don't show up for a while, I have to run to your house."

  Brother Meng's full name is Shi Meng. He is seven or eight years older than Chen Ling and Han Chuang. He is from the county seat. He has worked in the joint defense team for a few years and also served as a secretary to the leader of the power supply bureau for two years.

   Later, he didn’t know if he offended someone or something. Not only did he lose his job, but his parents were also affected.

   Retired early from the county middle school.

   Anyway, since then, Shi Meng has turned from a good young man to a street gangster. He spends all day in the game room, billiards hall, hanging out with Chen Ling and Han Chuang, and he can't go home until it's dark.

   But according to Chen Ling's memory, he did not see him again after the year.

   Now hearing Han Chuang mention this, Chen Ling shook his head and said, "I'm different from Brother Meng. Brother Meng should have something to do at home. I'm just tired of playing and I don't want to play anymore."

   said, and patted the ox cart, "Come on, get in the car, I'll take you to the Palace of Culture."

   "No, no, I came here on a motorcycle. If you're going to the south of the city, we just happen to be together."

  Han Chuang pointed to the noodle stall and saw a brand new motorcycle parked at the base of the wall.

  The orange-red body and the yellow fenders are a small motorcycle with an extremely simple structure.

   "Hey, star 50..."

  Chen Ling couldn't help exclaiming.

  Star 50 motorcycle is a classic motorcycle from Shimen Hongxing Machinery Factory.

  This thing sold for 1,200 yuan when it was first put on the market in the 1980s. In that era when the general salary of the general public was only ten yuan, it can be said to be the standard for households with 10,000 yuan.

   Even in 1995, there were very few families with such a motorcycle.

   "This guy, doesn't your father think that you go into the game room all day and refuse to buy it for you?"

  Han Chuang scratched his head and grinned: "Hey, my family just told me about a daughter-in-law, so my father bought a car for my daughter-in-law."

   "Yo, are you talking about a daughter-in-law? When will you get married?"

  Chen Ling laughed after hearing this.

   "On, on, on the end of the year."

   Asked this, Han Chuang's black face turned purple, a little embarrassed, but the smile on his face became brighter.

   "When the time comes, you and Brother Meng must come."

   "I've wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but I haven't been able to touch you people these days."

   "Don't worry, definitely go."

   "How can I and Brother Meng be absent for such a big event as your marriage?"

When   Chen Ling said this, he couldn't help looking at him up and down: "Chuangzi, you are about to get married, why are you still playing arcades in the county town? Don't you have anything to do at home?"

   "Why not, I came here under the banner of picking up my daughter-in-law, otherwise I'll let my father know and I won't be drawn."

  Han Chuang laughed and said with a foolish look on his face.

   "So, your wife is also in the county seat?"

  Chen Ling heard the meaning of his words and asked.

   "Yeah, you must know who it is, just the fat girl from Director Liu's family in our high school, but now she's thinner and looks better."

  Han Chuang talked about his future daughter-in-law with a smile on her face, her mouth grinning to the bottom of her ears, "She took the college entrance examination after graduating from high school and is now working as a technician in the Agricultural Bureau."

   "Good guy, quietly got a college student to be a wife, you kid is fine too..."

  Chen Ling smiled and punched him.

   But he had no impression of this Director Liu's daughter.

   He did share the same high school with Han Chuang, but this kid is too stupid, he stayed two grades, and when he was in his third year of high school, this kid was only a freshman.

   "Hey, I'm going to push the motorcycle over..."

  Han Chuang scratched his head and laughed twice, then pushed the Red Star 50 to him.

   waved at Chen Ling: "Come on, Lingzi, come and ride around!"

   "This thing is very exciting to ride. It can go around the county town in 20 minutes. It's very fast. Come on, come up and try it."

  Chen Ling wanted to say, but it was a new motorcycle, and he was willing to let himself ride it. It would be really bad if he refused.

   I rode a short circle around the street.

   "Awesome, Lingzi, you are so good at riding a motorcycle for the first time, much better than I was before..."

   Seeing Chen Ling's familiar attitude, Han Chuang opened his mouth in surprise.

   "I rode my brother's motorcycle before and ran straight into the ditch, and my front teeth almost knocked out."

  Chen Ling laughed and said, "You kid, you know I'm a novice, and you dare to let me ride it. I'm not afraid that I will ruin your new motorcycle."

   "Hey, I haven't seen you for two months, are you happy, you won't play arcade with me, and you must not try my new guy..."

  Han Chuang squeezed his eyes and stepped on the motorcycle.

   "The road is narrow here, I'm going ahead first."

"it is good!"

   So one drove an ox cart and the other rode a motorcycle to the south of the city.

   After a while, we arrived at the Workers' Cultural Palace.

   When the two separated, Han Chuang stopped him again and said something.

   "Lingzi, if you really can't get into the sand quarry, why don't you come to my cannery."

   "Although it doesn't have as much oil and water as the sand quarry, it's better than farming at home, what do you think?"

  Chen Ling smiled when he heard this, first thanked the **** man, and then said that he would not go anywhere in the future, so he could farm at home with peace of mind.

   Watching Han Chuang walk into the Cultural Palace with an expression of obvious disbelief, Chen Ling was also a little surprised.

   I used to be such a jerk, yet I actually have a friend who is not a faggot.

  It's not easy!

  …

   At one thirty in the afternoon, Chen Ling returned to the newly rented courtyard in the south of the city.

   First, he cleaned up the yard and the house. Seeing that there was no tree in the yard, he took a fig sapling from the cave and planted it beside the water well.

   Then he saw that the square pool on the east side of the yard was filled with soil. It was used by the old landlord and his wife as a place to grow vegetables. He couldn't help shaking his head, took a stone hoe, and dug out all the soil filled in it.

   turned this square pond back into its original form.

After   , he planted lotus flowers in the pond, and after half the pond was filled, he threw some fish fry from the cave into it.

  Following Chen Ling to pour a bucket of water from Dongtian Stream into the pond, the surface of the pond was quickly filled with lotus leaves, and the courtyard became full of life.

   "Hey, it looks much more comfortable now, otherwise there will be no anger at all, it will be deserted, like a shady house that hasn't lived in for many years."

  Chen Ling clapped his hands, showing a satisfied look.

   Then, he took a stone **** into the cave, ready to take out the vegetables and set up a vegetable stall in front of the store.

   Who knows, just walking into the thatched hut, there is a crisp "click" under his feet, which startled Chen Ling.

   looked down and saw that half of the white eggshell was smashed.
