My 1995 Small Farm.

"No, it's definitely not. I dare say that if it was fake and mixed with lime, I would have died a miserable death. I would have been carried away by wolves to the mountains and mauled to death by wild boars!"

The stall owner was so angry that his body started shaking.

"Brother, this is Chen Fugui. You didn't recognize him, did you? He doesn't need the two hundred dollars, but you're treating him like a fool, that's not very nice of you."

Someone nearby reminded him.

Because Chen Ling asked people to collect wild fruits in his village after the autumn, many local villages guarding the mountains and forests also benefited from it.

Speaking of his name, many people would like to thank him.

"Ah? It's Chen Fugui? He's so young!"

The stall owner was dumbfounded when he saw Chen Ling carrying a boy and a girl on his shoulders, looking at the stones on the stall with a smile.

He quickly said, "Well, take it and play with it. It's just a broken stone."

After saying that, he rubbed his hands nervously, as if he was afraid that Chen Ling might have some opinion of him.

"That's not the case. I really like this stone. If it's real, I'll definitely give you two hundred dollars!"

How could Chen Ling take things for free? The more he is recognized by others, the more he cannot take their things for free.

Otherwise, no one would know how to spread the news about him outside.

"It's real. I picked them up from the riverside of Wangbacheng. It was almost New Year's Day. I was selling leather. I picked up stones for several days in a row and finally brought back these stones."

When the stall owner said this, he became excited, "Picking up good stones requires luck, you can't just pick them up and bring them back when you see them."

Chen Ling also heard his father talk about such things when he was a child.

But picking up stones does not involve money, that is to say, they are not picked up to sell, but when delivering a letter, they come across a temple, or encounter something in the mountains and pick up strange stones.

They will take it home and believe it is a blessing from the mountain gods.

This strange stone will be taken home and buried somewhere to be used as a Feng Shui stone.

"Okay, this one, I want it."

Chen Ling took out two hundred yuan and bought the stone with the hole.

He did it himself in order to landscape the fish tank later.

When he went hunting in the mountains, he also picked up many stones, but he forgot about them after throwing them into the cave.

And there aren’t many good looking ones.

Now that you see something you like, just buy it.

"I'll pick a few too."

Liang Yuemin also became interested. They were out to play, and if the children were happy with the purchases, he would also spend money to please himself.

He likes smaller stones, probably the kind that he would hold in his hands and play with.

The two of them were fascinated by the selection.

Suddenly, Qin Qiumei screamed.

"Fugui, your little duck is gone!"

Chen Ling turned around and saw that his little duck drum toy was gone, leaving only the rope.

"Which bastard stole it from me?"

At this kind of big fair, the New Year atmosphere is strong, but there are also many people who steal petty things.

There are even some people who are not specifically thieves, but they will steal something if they get the chance.

"It should be when we were playing with the monkeys just now. Everyone was having so much fun that they didn't notice it was taken away."

Wang Susu spoke at this time.

Everyone nodded.

At this moment, a burst of dog barking sounded in the crowded market, and soon a big yellow dog squeezed through the crowd.

What was in his mouth was the little wooden duck.

"Oh, I forgot that Xiao Jin and the other two were following us. We can find them if they are lost."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ling touched Xiao Jin's head and realized that there were too many people. Even if Xiao Jin and the other two were staring at them, they wouldn't be able to react quickly and rush over.

"Looking at Xiao Jin's condition, it must have been taken by a kid. Hei Wa and Xiao Jin didn't scream just now. If an adult had stolen it on purpose, they would have turned red-eyed and wanted to bite someone."

Wang Susu glanced at her own dog and saw that Xiao Jin's eyes were gentle and not angry, so she guessed some of the reasons.

"Well, even so, everyone should keep an eye on their stuff. There are too many people here today, and the busiest time is noon."

Chen Ling said.

At the big fair at the end of the year, the most people are at noon, as the weather is warm at this time and there are many stalls.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather in the mountainous area turned cooler and the show basically ended.

Buying New Year’s goods depends entirely on the noon period.

"Yeah, everyone, please take good care of yourselves, otherwise there will be too many people and the dogs will be squeezed out."

Old lady Liang Hongyu also smiled helplessly and said, "Heiwa, that big guy, hasn't squeezed in yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, the anxious barking of a dog was heard in the distance.

Heiwa jumped onto a millstone on the street, with a few other kids around him. However, the crowd was so overwhelming that this big guy like a calf couldn't get through.

For a moment, everyone was amused.

Only Ruirui shouted anxiously on Chen Ling's shoulder: "Heihei, come, Heihei, come."

Worried about the dog that accompanies him every day.

Xiao Lizi and other children couldn't help but start to worry: "Hei Wa, come on, catch up quickly."

"It's okay. After this time, there will be fewer people if we wait for another twenty minutes. Let's keep going."

Chen Ling spoke.

"Hurry up and take this opportunity to buy some couplets and blessing characters. It's warm now, so we can put them up in several courtyards in the county. Tomorrow, New Year's Eve, we won't go out. We will pack up at home and prepare for the New Year."

"Fugui is right. Tomorrow, New Year's Eve, we will be at home in the village."

"But where are we going to have lunch?"

"Of course it's at the market. There's mutton noodles and beef soup in front. I'll rush over and get two bowls to finish it off."

"Yes, we seldom eat at the market, so we want to feel the atmosphere."

In normal years, fewer people eat this kind of food at the market.

Because I think it's expensive, I'd rather buy some meat and stew it at home. But this year, there are too many people at the market, so I always have to spend money to eat.

So the food stalls were quite crowded.

Chen Ling and his group have so many people that there is definitely not enough room for them to sit down for dinner now.

"Why don't you come to our house? We have prepared dinner."

Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun spoke up one after another, "We can't go hungry at noon with so many kids."

"Auntie, we are not hungry, we want to eat at the market..."

Xiao Lizi sat on Chen Ling's shoulders, shaking her braids, just to eat at the market.

The little fat man and Yaya also shouted: "Auntie, we are not hungry, we like the food here, and I want to eat dog meat."

Zhong Xiaoyun and the other person didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The kids were playful and after listening to Chen Ling's advice, they were not willing to go home for dinner.

"Let's go. It's okay. They won't starve. They had a full meal in the morning, with eggs and meat. They never stop eating when they come to the market. They eat dog meat and snacks one after another.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

I wasn’t hungry at all when it was time for dinner.”

As Wang Susu spoke, she fed the rice crust to Xiao Lizi's mouth.

"Aunt, there's a sugar man over there!"

Little Lizi was eating rice crust, his eyes attracted by the small stall in front of him making candy figures.

"Uncle, let's go over there quickly."

"it is good."

Chen Ling took a look and laughed too.

We're not hungry now, and there are many people at the food stalls, so it's a good idea to go find some fun first.

I squeezed through the crowd and walked to the stall.

Chen Ling asked, "Make four sugar figures for us."

"No, four is not enough. I want one too. We want both Sister Yinhuan and Sister Yueru. We want ten."

Wang Susu came up to him with a smile, grabbed his arm and pinched him.

"Okay, okay, then give us one each."

"Do you really need so many?"

The boss of the candy figurine shop is an old man in his fifties. He wears a melon-shaped hat, large cotton trousers and a sheepskin waistcoat, and his glasses have black-framed round lenses, making him look like an old man from the old society.

"If you really want, then do it."

Chen Ling took out ten yuan and gave it to him first: "If it's not enough, tell me later."

"That's enough. You want a lot. I'll give it to you at a lower price."

The old man was smiling, he himself looked like a person from the old times, but his stall was very clean.

As he spoke, he smiled at the children on Chen Ling's shoulder and beside him and asked, "Kids, what kind do you want?"

"I want Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong!"

There is no need to say much about how much Xiao Ming likes monkeys.

Little Lizi said, "I want a butterfly. Grandpa, please make it more beautiful."

Yaya stood on tiptoe and looked around the candy figures on the stall. When she saw nothing she liked, she said, "I want... a big tiger."

"Where's Ruirui? Ruirui, say one too!"

Qin Yueru was very tall and reached out to touch the baby’s face.

Ruirui actually didn't understand it yet, but he probably knew what his friends said, so he said, "Little elephant, Ruirui is a little elephant."

"Okay, make us another little elephant."

"Good fellow, what you want is..."

The old man shook his head when he heard this. It was okay with Monkey King and the big tiger, but he really had never done anything with the butterfly and the little elephant.

How could a country kid go for this?

But his technique is okay. They are just small animals, so it's not difficult.

Take the sticky syrup and start making it on the table.

What Wang Susu and the others want is already available.

I picked out the finished rabbits, goats and the like and held them in my hands.

These are children's toys. They are happy today and have a lot of fun playing with them.

The children were even happier.

Especially Ruirui, who just made a request without knowing what was going on, saying little elephant.

I didn't expect that I would actually get a sugar-made elephant in my hands.

They loved this candy man so much that they couldn't bear to eat it.

After making the sugar figures, everyone was satisfied, but mainly because they couldn’t hold any more things in their hands.

So I went straight to the place selling couplets and the Chinese character "Fu".

There are a lot of things that need to be posted in the county, including Chen Ling’s small courtyard in the south of the city, Liang Hongyu’s two courtyards, and the deer farm that Chen Ling had just built.

All of them are needed. At least twenty couplets with the word "Fu" are needed.

Wang Susu was very serious in choosing the couplets. She not only paid attention to the size of the couplets, but also paid attention to what was written on them.

She doesn't want too much wealth, she wants blessings.

The family is not short of money now, and what she wants is for the family to be happy, peaceful and full of blessings.

Chen Ling didn't know what the difference was, but he also knew that it was fine as long as his wife was happy.

As long as she knows what good luck she is hoping for, that's enough.

But Wang Susu was overwhelmed by the choice in the end.

He even took out two couplets and asked Chen Ling in confusion: "Take a look at these two, which one is better?"

"Uh……"

Chen Ling quickly rubbed his chin as if thinking, his mind was not here, so how could he pick it out?

I just muttered to myself: "It's different with a child. My little wife will always give people problems." (End of this chapter)
