My 1995 Small Farm.

"Golden monkey???"

As soon as they heard what Chen Ling said, everyone came over to see.

"Wow, what a beautiful little monkey. Do you dare to come down?"

"Little monkey, come here quickly, I'll give you dumplings!"

While the adults were still surprised, the children were already excited and put their hands to their mouths and started shouting.

The little monkey who had been squatting on the wall bravely just now was suddenly frightened and didn't know what to do. He turned around with a silly face and looked at the big monkey on the tree.

"A Ling, are these golden monkeys the same ones we encountered before?"

Wang Susu looked around with surprise and joy on her face, feeling it was incredible.

"I think it's very likely. You can tell from the behavior of Heiwa and Xiaojin. When they saw the wild monkeys, they started yelling fiercely and rushed out to drive them away.

Now the reaction is very calm.”

Chen Ling pointed at his two overlords.

I saw the silly Heiwa with his head tilted back, his tongue sticking out and a smile on his face.

"Huh? Heiwa knows him?"

"Of course it was. At that time, all the little monkeys gathered around it and played with its tail. I remember there was even a little monkey that was bitten by a leopard. After the wound healed, it also played with it."

Chen Ling knew his dog's temperament.

Not to mention Xiao Jin, he tends to be cold towards everyone except his family.

Heiwa, on the other hand, will play as long as the other person has a mild temper.

"Dogs have good memories. If it were a cat, it would definitely not remember."

Liang Yuemin said with emotion: "My little white dog can recognize my parents even after not seeing them for more than half a year, and begs them to hold him."

"Of course. Dogs and cows are famous for their loyalty and honesty."

Liang Hongyu and the other person said.

"Little monkey, come down quickly!"

Wang Susu also joined the children in calling the little monkey.

Liu Yinhuan and the other two went to the kitchen to find some carrots, distributed them to everyone, and took them over.

The golden monkeys were a little tempted when they saw it, but finally stopped.

"If they don't want to come down, forget it. They weren't so shy before. Maybe it's because the kids are noisy and there are more dogs at home."

Chen Ling shook his head and did not force the monkeys to come down.

"Keep making dumplings. They will come down when they want to."

"Xiao Ming, you guys don't have to wait over there anymore. Come quickly, uncle will cook dumplings for you first. We have other things to do in the mountains this afternoon."

Chen Ling called the children to his side.

The cabbage and garlic stuffing was the fastest to cook.

Next is the leek, and finally the meat.

Chen Ling served them the food in small bowls and asked them to eat them using bamboo forks.

"Uncle, the stuffed cabbage is so delicious. Why wasn't the cabbage I ate before so delicious?"

When little Lizi eats something delicious, he tends to become coquettish.

But she is very sensible at home, feeding Ruirui and then Yaya.

"Isn't it delicious? Uncle will make you a chicken and cabbage soup during the Chinese New Year. That one is even more delicious."

Chen Ling also tasted a few himself and felt that this year's dumplings were better than in previous years.

Especially the ones with cabbage and garlic, although they don’t have the taste of childhood, they are brighter and have a longer aftertaste.

Actually, there is nothing surprising about these dumplings stuffed with cabbage and garlic.

It’s just like stir-frying cabbage. When it’s served at the end, a handful of minced garlic is added to enhance the flavor. There’s not much difference.

This method originated in the countryside because of the ingredients and was used to make big buns.

Big buns with cabbage, garlic, radish and vermicelli.

Later, it was turned into dumplings. Such vegetarian fillings cost little and only required adding a few ounces of meat or beating two eggs, and ordinary families could eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

On New Year’s Eve this year, every household in Chenwangzhuang was making dumplings.

To outsiders, this is really nothing.

But everyone in each household feels a sense of accomplishment.

It was not even noon yet, but the sound of various firecrackers began to ring out in the village.

The smell of firecrackers wafting in the air was very strong.

Smelling this aroma, everyone's face was filled with joy.

Chen Ling's family is also full of joy.

The children still have a strong curiosity about golden monkeys.

Chen Ling and Wang Susu are preparing to go to the mountains to visit the graves in the afternoon.

In the past, I would visit my father Chen Juncai’s grave on the anniversary of his death, which was the first day of the tenth month in the lunar calendar.

But according to the anniversary of his death, not many people came.

My eldest aunt won’t come, and there’s no one else coming.

I had no choice but to move it to the end of the year.

After lunch, Liang Hongyu saw Wang Susu still wanted to wash the dishes, so she quickly stopped her and said, "You and Fugui should go to the mountain early. We can do the dishes and pots."

This year, I brought my child to visit the grave for the first time.

The three kids were taken to visit the grave.

It is to announce good news, and according to the old custom, it is also to invite deceased relatives to come home to celebrate the New Year.

After the Chinese New Year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, at two or three in the morning, Chen Ling will carry a basket with cigarettes, alcohol and food, go to the grave and set off a few firecrackers to send his relatives back.

In fact, visiting the graves can be done after the 25th day of the 12th lunar month and before dark on New Year's Eve.

There is not much to pay attention to locally.

As for Chen Ling, his aunt is not coming, and he has no other relatives, so it's up to him to do what he wants.

But we must visit the grave, after all, there is a new baby in the family.

Wang Susu said, "It's okay, Auntie. Don't worry. A Ling has prepared everything a long time ago. We can just pick it up and go."

Liang Hongyu pushed Wang Susu out of the kitchen and said, "There are fewer people going to this mountain now. Look, the golden monkeys have jumped out today. You should go earlier and come back earlier.

In case it gets dark and wild animals jump out, it’s New Year’s Day and we’ve brought a kid up the mountain, so we better keep quiet.”

Liang Hongyu said so, so Wang Susu naturally stopped insisting. She shook the water off her hands, wiped it twice on her apron, took it off and hung it on the rope outside the door, and said, "Okay, then Auntie, you guys stay home and do your work, we'll go."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Isn't this why we celebrate the New Year together this year?"

As Liang Hongyu spoke, she started working briskly in the kitchen with her daughter and daughter-in-law.

When Wang Susu arrived at the wooden building in front, Chen Ling had already carried out his second and third children.

The two little guys have been much better behaved lately.

Because the weather was warm and the house was warm too, the two of them ate and slept, slept and ate, and there was nothing else to do.

Now they are wrapped in two baby swaddling clothes like two fat bugs.

Chen Ling held them one in each hand.

The two little babies were held by their father. When they saw their mother Wang Susu coming over, they didn't even take the initiative to ask to go find her.

She lay lazily in Chen Ling's arms, dozing off in a daze.

Wang Susu laughed when she saw this: "Oh, these two little ones, how come they are getting more and more quiet as they grow up? They are not as noisy as Ruirui was when he was young."

Actually, Wang Susu doesn't need to go to the grave today. During the New Year, not only the daughter-in-law doesn't go, but the daughter also doesn't go.

But this year it’s not about a new baby being born, it’s more like visiting the grave to announce the good news.

The daughter-in-law Wang Susu must be there.

Chen Ling chose to visit the graves at this time, in fact, not only to visit the graves of his father Chen Juncai, but also to visit the graves of his grandparents and even the ancestors who had left graves.

"Call Ruirui over, let's go, he only knows how to play."

"I know. He's outside. We can just take him with us when we go out."

Wang Susu carried the basket and checked the bags. After confirming that everything was correct, she followed Chen Ling out.

After I got outside, I had a lot of things with me.

Chen Ling led the packhorse out and hung the things on it. "Dad, Mom..."

Ruirui saw the two of them leading the horses out and ran over without being asked.

"Come on, get on the horse, follow your parents, and your brothers and sisters, and let's go to the mountain together."

Wang Susu reached out and picked him up, then said to the three children running behind, "Xiao Lizi, you, Xiao Ming, and Yaya, the three of you can play at home first, we will be back soon!"

"Aunt, are you going to the grave?"

Little Lizi showed a frightened expression, and the little fat boy also shrank his head, not daring to say that he wanted to go.

Yaya was a little confused, but she was an introvert by nature, so she naturally shrank back.

"Well, you guys can play at home. The little muntjac is out, and the weasel is here too..."

Wang Susu patted their heads, and the family of five led the pack horses and two dogs up the mountain.

To visit the graves, you have to go up from the West Hill.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

That is to say, you have to go up the mountain from the threshing ground at the entrance of the village along the road to the land temple.

The black packhorse is docile and honest, but strong and powerful. It takes steps with a clattering sound, walks very fast, and goes up and down hills very steadily.

When I arrived at the village entrance, I happened to meet a few people who were also going up the mountain.

There are Chen Yongsheng and Chen Yonggang. Their mother, whom Chen Ling calls Grandma, just passed away last year.

There are also Chen Sangui and his son Chen Baoshuan.

There are also two sons of Wang Laifu.

They were walking on the road in groups of three or four, carrying baskets, offerings, incense and candles, etc.

I saw Chen Ling and his family coming over with their pack horses and dogs.

They all smiled and said hello: "I told you that when Fugui visits the grave this year, he will definitely bring his two little kids with him."

"You don't need to tell me. We have a son and a daughter, and they are both well-fed. I must go to the grave to announce the good news to Juncai."

"..."

Chen Ling also responded with a smile and asked them to put the things on their packhorses.

Draft horses can carry a lot of weight.

The slope of Xishan is so gentle that it is like walking on flat ground for their legs.

"No, no, there's not much."

"Juying, Jujie, come here, let your brother Fugui explain to you why it is so difficult for you two to find wives."

Wang Laiyun waved to his two nephews and began to sigh and complain.

This year, some families are marrying off daughters or daughters.

Only after Wang Lai Fu died, his two sons could not find a suitable partner.

The matchmakers would take a detour when they saw them.

Chen Ling knew that these two children did not have as good learning ability as their father Wang Lai Fu.

He doesn't have the good personality and the ability to deal with things as Wang Wenchao and others.

The family is still so poor now.

Which girl would like them?

Others want to marry into Chenwangzhuang because the villagers made a lot of money last year and they come here to live a good life.

I'm not here to suffer.

"Fugui, these two kids have been seeing so many girls in the whole winter, but none of them can be successful. It's really worrying!"

"I'll tell you the truth. If they didn't have their uncle Laishun, no one would come to see them."

Wang Laiyun was indeed worried, but there was nothing he could do because he had a conscience.

Although these two nephews are stupid, they are very filial to him.

Wang Laifu has a personality like that. He always feels that his talent is not appreciated and that the times have ruined him. He locks himself in his house every day and refuses to go out.

He has been taking care of his two nephews for many years.

When his two nephews were bullied when they were young, he was the one who stood up for them because his house was closer to Wang Laifu's house than to Wang Laishun's.

They were just a few steps apart, almost like neighbors, there was no difference.

His two nephews treated him like a father and did all the hard work, so he never had to worry about anything.

If he doesn't care about starting a family, who will?

Their mother is also stupid.

"Juying and Jujie are both capable young men. If you are in a hurry to get married, you can try marrying into their family."

Chen Ling had no good way to deal with this stupid and stubborn young man.

For people like Wang Wenchao, he is willing to help and give some advice.

I'm too lazy to bother with this kind of thing, and these two brothers are really goody-goody.

This kind of person is suitable to be a son-in-law.

"Huh? That's a good idea!"

Wang Laiyun regained his spirits and said, "Let one of them go out and one stay. With the two helping each other, we should be able to accomplish this."

Anyway, there are two men, one can go out and one can stay.

This matter will be easily handled soon.

"You still have to be rich and have ideas..."

Chen Yongsheng and others laughed.

Chen Yongsheng said, "After the New Year, our little He will also be looking for a wife. When the time comes, when he mentions Uncle Fugui, I think there is no need to find a matchmaker. The girl will ask someone to propose marriage herself."

"Alright, alright, being rich is a good thing, but you should also look at what your Xiao He looks like. You are still daydreaming..."

Chen Yonggang took over.

The two brothers have always been at odds with each other like enemies.

Unlike the Wang Jusheng brothers, the elders in their family are not so partial.

It’s just that there are too many brothers, and the disputes have accumulated over time, plus Chen Yonggang’s wife is a petty and trouble-making person.

People who are always troublesome and creating conflicts are nothing to be ashamed of. If you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you.

The two brothers have had a rough time in recent years.

It's New Year's Day and it's time to visit the graves again. Chen Ling is too lazy to listen to them making a fuss.

Take Susu and the child and go first.

He knew in his heart that sooner or later these two brothers would have a big fight like the Wang Jusheng brothers.

……

"Ah Ling, when I was in the city, I heard people say that if a family has more wealth, they should move their grave to a better place, a place with good feng shui, so that the wealth can be kept. Is that right?"

When they reached the mountain, Wang Susu said this.

Chen Ling knew that it was not his wife who was superstitious.

These are things she experienced in the past two years, such as the old turtle, the water monster, what she came into contact with while studying Chinese medicine, and some magical places in her own home, as well as the influence of the rural cultural environment.

It is inevitable to have such thoughts.

"I don't know about that. I just know that if we have good intentions and don't do evil things, then we will find good luck wherever we go."

Chen Ling said to her, "Didn't the medical book we read together say this? There are similar words, saying that when a mother is pregnant, she has no distracting thoughts and is upright, and the child she gives birth to is the most precious."

Chen Ling himself has a blessed place on his body, and no other Feng Shui treasure land can compare to him.

Naturally I don't care about this matter.

"I know the truth. I just want my children to be able to go to college and become college students in the future."

Wang Susu took Lele from Chen Ling's arms into her arms with an expectant look on her face.

Chen Ling knew that her biggest regret at the moment was that she did not finish high school.

"That's a must. We must have faith in the children..."

Chen Ling's tone was steady. He knew better than anyone what the future of college students would be like.

Besides, even if he didn’t want to think about the future, there was nothing wrong with him and Wang Susu going to school now.

I thought to myself: "When the child is a little older, Susu and I will each choose a major we like to study." (End of this chapter)
