My 1995 Small Farm.

That night, Chen Ling's pressed meat became the main dish on the table.

Horse meat is good, but it can’t compare.

Because it takes time to make horse meat delicious, and the cooking method is almost the same as donkey meat.

Basically, the way you make spiced donkey meat is the same as how you make spiced horse meat.

The donkey and the horse are from the same family.

This is how it is here these days. Any food that has a bit of flavor has something to do with the five-spice powder.

As for the embossed meat, to use the words of later generations, it is extremely fragrant.

Even the pork tastes like beef.

It tastes delicious.

In addition, every family has a happy event this year. Every family in the village is marrying off a daughter or daughter, and having a baby. Chen Ling and Shanmao are also among the new babies.

So everyone was very happy and in high spirits, and we drank and chatted until late at night.

……

The next morning is New Year's Eve, and many people get up early to clean the house.

"Fugui, Fugui, the donkey is well harnessed. Is the donkey obedient?"

"Don't worry, Lihui's donkey is the most obedient. It is honest and obedient. Moreover, the old donkey knows the way. There is no need to whip it. It walks smoothly."

Early in the morning, Shanmao didn't drive his car, but drove a donkey cart to the county hospital to deliver food to Dujuan.

It contained goat milk squeezed in the morning and boiled eggs, as well as porridge that Chen Ling specially cooked for the children.

It is called Eight Treasure Porridge, but in fact it contains much more than ordinary Eight Treasure Porridge.

It is also suitable for nutritional supplements for pregnant women.

As for driving the donkey cart, it’s not that he can’t drive a car or a tractor.

Liang Yuemin was going to drive the car. He had just returned and wanted to show his face at his father-in-law's house first.

The tractor belonged to Wang Lixian's family. They went to Yangtougou to catch two sheep, and also helped Chen Yingqiang's family to transport some flour to the village.

I plan to start making dried noodles next year.

"Fugui, where are you going again?"

Chen Sangui came over with a basket on his back and asked.

"I don't go out, but my brother goes to the county to deliver food to his wife..."

"Oh, I came to ask you to pick some mushrooms and pluck some green onions. It's New Year's Day, so I want to make something delicious for the kids at home."

Chen Sangui loves Xizi very much. It is said that Xizi ranked first in the class in the exam this year.

Chen Baoshuan was also very happy and had already started shouting about it in the village.

It's just that I drank too much last night and haven't gotten up yet at this time.

His wife doesn't do anything.

On this New Year's Eve, Chen Sangui had to clean up and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner for his family.

"Uncle Sangui, just go to the greenhouse and pick them. I'll let the dogs follow you. The dogs over there won't dare to stop you."

Chen Ling smiled and waved his hand, and Erhei, who couldn't sit still, rushed down from the slope in the distance.

As for mushrooms and vegetables, no one in the village, except those who were close to him, dared to ask him for them.

But ordinary people only have cabbage, sweet potatoes and potatoes in winter, and they will get tired of eating them after a long time.

Usually Chen Ling would take some out himself and give some to this company and that company.

Give some of them away.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go pick them myself. If you need any help, just go home and call Baoshuan. My father and I are both here."

Chen Sangui knew that there were many people in Chen Ling's family this year, so he didn't say much and turned around and walked along the path on the slope.

Chen Ling is indeed busy.

You have to go to the courtyard in the village first to post couplets, auspicious characters, and hang lanterns.

This year, Qin Yueru and her daughter, as well as Qin Rongxian and Liang Hongyu, the elderly, are temporarily living in this courtyard.

"Uncle Fugui, Xiao Lizi won't play with me!"

As soon as I got here, a snotty kid came and shouted.

This snotty-nosed kid isn't sick, he just has two strands of yellow snot hanging from his nose every day, like vermicelli, and no matter how hard Chen Ling tries to wipe them, they just won't get clean.

Simply give up.

"I brought her food, but she snorted at me and ignored me!"

The snotty kid looked very sad.

"I can't do anything about this. I can't help you... Besides, why don't you give it to Xizi? Xizi is so good to you guys."

Chen Ling flicked his head and laughed.

Xiao Lizi is a pretty, spoiled city girl, like a little princess.

Once you arrive in the countryside, you will definitely be liked by these little country boys.

Everyone scrambled to play with her.

This is human nature.

"Xizi's aunt is too fierce. I don't want to go."

The snotty kid scratched his head in annoyance and said unwillingly, "Xiao Lizi plays with Liu Nier and the others, why doesn't he play with me? Is it because I have a snotty nose?
Liu Nier is still playing with urine mud."

"Oh my, kid, please don't say that. It's New Year's Day. Wait until the weather gets warmer next year, and I'll find a way to deal with your snotty nose. You keep shaking two sticks of vermicelli every day, don't even mention Little Lizi.

Ruirui doesn't want to play with you as his brother."

Chen Ling took out some toilet paper and wiped his nose, but soon the snot started flowing again.

And after wiping it, there are scabs on the lips and under the bridge of the nose due to long-term runny nose.

That rascal……

Chen Ling thought to himself, it’s no wonder that Xiao Lizi doesn’t want to play with you.

She was already as unclean as possible.

"My mother said that my snot was caused by the fact that I had a runny nose that year and I tore up the portraits of gods and Buddhas at home to wipe my nose. That's why my nose keeps running."

The snotty kid tilted his head back and snorted, "I was only three years old at that time and it wasn't intentional. The gods and Buddhas are so stingy. I worship them and burn incense to them every day, but they still make me bleed non-stop."

"It's not the gods' fault. They won't blame the little kid. I'll ask someone to find a good doctor to help you with your illness."

Chen Ling assured him and said no more.

Because Xiao Lizi came out, pushed open the window, leaving a crack, and waved at him with a smile.

Seeing the cute and white appearance of Little Lizi, the snotty kid stomped his feet, turned around and walked away unwillingly.

He came to deliver food and then called Xiaolizi out to set off firecrackers.

As a result, Xiao Lizi paid no attention to him and only the adults allowed him to play in the house.

But kids of his age would also feel embarrassed. If Xiao Lizi ignored him, he wouldn't be able to stay there.

……

"What's wrong? You look so happy!"

Chen Ling walked over and opened the window from the outside.

"Uncle, let me tell you, I found a small tree growing in the house, with small sprouts, on the side where I sleep."

Xiao Lizi was very surprised, his eyes were filled with joy.

"Ah? There's a small tree growing in the house? It's not spring yet!"

Chen Ling was also a little surprised.

Qin Yueru also came over and spoke to him through the window: "It's the grape branches you and Susu buried in the fall. They sprouted underground and grew out from this side of the house."

Qin Yueru couldn't recognize the grapes, so Liang Hongyu and the other person were the ones who figured it out.

There is a kang in the room, which is very warm.

It is too dry, and you need to sprinkle water on the ground frequently before going to bed and after waking up. Otherwise, you will get angry easily.

With the warm temperature and watering, it is not impossible for some seedlings to sprout inside the house.

"It's a good sign. Everything was fine before, but now you've moved in and a grape vine has grown. It looks like you're going to have good luck. Next year, the little chestnut will grow taller too."

Chen Ling touched the little girl's head.

The little girl had just gotten up and hadn't combed her hair yet. When she heard Chen Ling's words, she happily rubbed her head against his big hands.

"Uncle, I really need to grow taller. Can you help me comb my hair later?"

"Why are you so attached to your uncle? Hurry up and eat breakfast first, your uncle still has to work."

Liang Hongyu came over and took her away. Chen Ling also wanted to paste up couplets and blessing characters, and hang lanterns.

I don’t know about other places, but here, hanging lanterns is not something that ordinary families can do. Only the rich can afford to hang them up.

This year, almost every household in the village hangs lanterns.

I didn’t buy any. I just asked Chen Baoshuan to make red lanterns for me.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Of course, those were not from Chen Ling’s family. Most of them were given by others or brought back by Zhao Dahai and his two families.

Qin Rongxian quickly finished his breakfast and then came out to help Chen Ling post the posters.

After coming out, I didn't expect that Chen Yuqiang from the front yard had come to help.

The young people worked quickly and had already brought ladders to hang the lanterns.

After finishing here, two Chinese characters for "Fu" should also be pasted on the vegetable greenhouse and the mushroom shed to add some festive joy to the New Year.

After finishing the work, I will go home to chop the meat and make dumplings.

When we came back, little Lizi was crying loudly.

"What's wrong? You were so happy just now? Who made our little chestnut angry?"

"Uncle, I, I'm not angry, my teeth are falling out and it hurts."

The little girl sobbed in a baby voice, her face full of tears from the pain.

Qin Yueru looked helpless: "We have to be strong. Look at other people who cry so hard when they lose their teeth."

Although Xiao Lizi has been in the countryside for quite some time, he has come here to play many times.

After overcoming my mysophobia and some strange habits such as not wanting to share, I can now play happily with the dolls.

But she is still a delicate little girl.

It would be strange if she didn't cry because she is so spoiled.

Chen Ling knew it was one thing, but he still comforted her: "You can't say that, some people don't feel anything when they lose their teeth, basically they don't feel any pain.

But some people just feel very painful..."

Originally, these were words of comfort, but who knew that they hit the mark unintentionally.

Xiao Lizi's gums were bleeding, and when she opened her mouth, one could see that her snow-white and tender cheeks were twitching in pain.

"Oh, it's Chinese New Year, we must eat candy!"

The old lady insisted that she ate too much sweets yesterday.

What about candied haws, candied figurines, sesame candies...

That thing is all sugar, how can your teeth be healthy?

"Don't eat sweets for the next two days, and you need to get this tooth out as soon as possible."

Chen Ling held the little girl's face in his hands. Seeing her face full of tears, he felt heartbroken.

"No, uncle, no, it hurts."

The little girl began to shrink her head when she heard this.

"..."

Chen Ling was at a loss for a moment, but soon he came up with an idea: "How about this, uncle won't pull out your tooth, how about letting Er Tuzi pull it out for you?
Tie a rope to your little tooth, and Er Tuzi will pull it from the sky, and the bad tooth will fall out.

Chen Ling is very good at talking nonsense.

Moreover, they switched the concept and called the teeth that are about to fall out as bad teeth.

"...Ah? Baldy?"

Xiao Lizi stopped crying and looked confused. It was obvious that he didn't expect that Er Tuzi and Teeth could be connected together.

"Yes, haven't you heard the story of the animal doctor in the forest?"

"I know, the forest doctor is a woodpecker!"

"That's right, Er Tuzi is even more powerful than a woodpecker. Woodpeckers can only eat insects in trees, but Er Tuzi can pick the insects out of your teeth and even pull out rotten teeth.

It was quick and painless.”

Chen Ling continued to deceive.

"Really, uncle?"

Xiao Lizi was skeptical and began to recall the cartoon in his mind.

But the shows she watched the most were Tom and Jerry, and the adapted story of Heiwa and Xiaojin hunting wild boars.

For a moment, I really couldn't remember any clips where the eagle was an animal doctor.

"Really? Uncle can't lie to you!"

When dealing with children, as long as they hesitate, help them make a decision quickly, otherwise they will quickly change their minds and regret it after a while.

So Chen Ling blew the whistle several times in a row and summoned Er Tuzi over.

Ignore the two eagle followers behind it.

Chen Ling waved his hand and let it fall gently into the yard.

"Also, we need to use a little red string."

Chen Ling gave Qin Yueru a hint and asked them to go into the house to find the red rope.

In short, it was a full sense of ceremony.

Xiao Lizi's teeth were still aching, but he covered his cheek with his hands, his eyes full of anticipation.

Dental disease comes on suddenly and the pain is devastating.

Chen Ling didn't expect that the child would have problems with his teeth while he was eating.

Fortunately, he was calmed down.

Qin Yueru and her mother found a red rope, and Chen Ling made a small noose. They asked Xiao Lizi to open his mouth, and quickly put the noose on the loose and bleeding teeth.

"Quick, Er Tuzi, fly!"

Chen Ling pulled the ball of red thread apart and tied the other end to Er Tuzi's paw.

Er Tuzi tilted his head like a big parrot, and looked at the red rope and the other end of Xiao Lizi's mouth curiously with intelligent eyes.

He seemed very interested and thought it was fun.

As soon as Chen Ling gave the order, it flapped its wings and took off.

The moment the red rope was tightened, Xiao Lizi's teeth were pulled out with almost no effort.

Little Lizi's tooth fell out, but he's still so cute that no one noticed.

In fact, it hurts so much that I feel dizzy.

But when Chen Ling came over and told her, "Okay, Xiao Lizi, Er Tuzi helped us pull out the bad teeth in our mouths."

Only then did she react and subconsciously touched it, and it was really gone.

This made the little girl very happy: "Wow, Er Tuzi is really an animal doctor, he is so amazing."

"Of course, uncle said so, how can I lie to you!"

Chen Ling smiled and used a cotton ball to stop the bleeding of the little girl, thinking secretly in his heart, I must include this plot in the new cartoon.

Let Er Tuzi be a real animal doctor for once.

He thought to himself and continued to comfort the little girl: "Okay, you lost your lower teeth. When other people lose their lower teeth, they are thrown onto the roof. Er Tuzi has taken yours to the sky. In the future, your teeth will grow better than theirs."

Children love to hear this kind of words. When Chen Ling said this, she was so happy that she jumped around in the yard for a long time. (End of this chapter)
