My 1995 Small Farm.

"Uncle Fugui, you should have told me earlier that if you have work, you can come to my house. We have nothing to do this year. Don't even mention the fifth day of the New Year. We can start work for you right away on the fourth day of the New Year."

I just returned home on the third day of junior high school and learned that Chen Ling’s family was going to start construction.

The two brothers Wang Juying and Wang Jujie took the initiative to come up to Chen Ling and shouted.

at this time.

Chen Ling and Liang Yuemin's family, who had just returned from his father-in-law's house in Changle Township, were helping Chen Xiaoer's family clean the yard on the slope and playing cards in the yard.

Chen Xiaoer's family went back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year and did not stay in the village to celebrate the New Year.

This place has become a gathering place for everyone to have fun during the day, except for the primary school.

Because the sun is very warm on the slope during the day.

It can catch up with the warm sunshine in spring.

So every afternoon, after everyone has finished their work and all the relatives have left, they come here to play cards or chess.

"Oh, that's right. Juying and Jujie don't have much to do at home this year. They don't have to visit relatives or entertain guests."

Chen Sangui chuckled.

Chen Ling also just realized what was going on.

"Wang Juying and Wang Jujie's father, Wang Laifu, died just before the beginning of winter. He was bitten by a pack of wild dogs in the mountains and died of a fever."

'When a relative dies, especially a parent, in the countryside here, people are not allowed to visit relatives in the first year, and they are not even allowed to put up Spring Festival couplets or the word "Fu".

If you are going to paste something, please use the blue one. The red one is not allowed.

I want the house to remain as quiet and peaceful as during the Cold Food Festival.'

All in all, all in all.

No matter who dies in the family, as long as there was a funeral in the previous year, it was a family member who died.

Cousins ​​don't count.

During the Chinese New Year, we are not allowed to visit relatives.

During the Chinese New Year, I will have a lot of free time and nothing to do.

There will be absolutely no problem in finding such people to work for and in such families.

I'm just sitting around doing nothing, so I might as well make some money, which is also good.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Fugui, if you are short of people, just look for people like us. We are idle at home during the first month of the year, isn't that enough?"

The two brothers Wang Juying and Wang Jujie had a father like that before. No one taught or cared for them.

Very ignorant.

In fact, it cannot be said that they are ignorant, it can only be said that they do not understand the ways of the world and do not know how to deal with things.

What he did and what he said made people frown when they heard them.

It's much better now.

After all, he is a real and honest person, and now he knows how to consider Chen Ling sincerely.

This is very comforting.

"You two are right. I'll ask someone to find out."

Chen Ling smiled and nodded, and gave them two cigarettes, which made them both very happy.

I felt so excited that I got Chen Ling's recognition.

Now their father is dead and their mother is old and can’t take care of things.

The two of them suddenly felt that it was time for them to take charge of the family affairs.

After all, they are two men, and what they need most at this time is people's recognition.

If any idea is put forward, it will be adopted by others.

That can really make them happy for the whole day, to the point where they can't even sleep with their mouths open.

As a man, he can have a say and sit at the table during village meetings.

This is when I feel the most fulfilled.

"Uncle Fugui, let us ask around for you. We have nothing to do anyway, so we'll go wherever you ask."

The two young men became excited.

They all rushed to help Chen Ling again.

Chen Ling smiled: "You are so focused on working. Others haven't rested enough in the first month of the year, but you two are so focused on working."

"Of course not. We can't visit relatives. We don't know how to play cards. We always lose. Let's drink. We can't drink much. We get drunk easily. It's troublesome to stay at home."

The two were sincere and honest children. They spoke directly on what they wanted to say, making people around them laugh.

I wondered how these two kids grew up. They used to have such a smart dad. He almost passed the college entrance examination and became a high-ranking official.

Taught up two such honest and simple kids.

Fortunately, I have figured it out now.

Otherwise it will be difficult to find a wife in the future.

"Haha, since you two are so enthusiastic, then you can go to Huangni Town to ask around. Take my motorcycle and go directly to the cannery to find Boss Han Chuang...

Let him ask and inquire about this matter.

Don't talk nonsense. If you ask people who has had a funeral during the New Year, you'll get beaten."

Chen Ling said this and took out the motorcycle keys and gave them.

"Wow, Uncle Fugui, you can still ride a motorcycle."

The two boys were instantly overjoyed and wanted to go out and walk around the village to show off.

"Okay, okay, stop yelling, go ride your motorcycle, and drive slowly on the road."

Chen Ling waved his hand and gave each of them a pack of cigarettes so that they could use them when they met someone or encountered problems.

Regardless of whether it is Chinese New Year or not, if you want to get something done in the countryside, you have to take care of the human relationships.

"Okay, I know, I know."

He is said to be old enough to handle things, but he is still a young man after all and still has some childish nature.

He was so happy that he ran down the hillside like a rabbit.

……

"You are still rich and righteous. You let your two kids ride a motorcycle. How much does it cost to burn gas?"

"Look at what you said. Fugui even cooked for us himself. He asked for pig's head meat. That guy could stew a big pot of pig's head until midnight. Which rich man would do that to you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of people burst into laughter again.

"Okay, okay, stop talking. Fugui is here, and Baoshuan is following him. Baoshuan just lost his wife, so maybe he wants Fugui to find him a wife.

Don't talk for now, let's listen to what they have to say. If they don't want to say anything, we'll come over later to get their words."

"Why bother asking in a roundabout way? Why not just ask directly? My wife's uncle's family has an old girl who has some problems with her legs and feet."

"Oh, forget it. Although Bao Shuan is ignorant, not a human being, and can't get pregnant, she is good-looking and has a good figure. Now, tell me someone with problems in his legs and feet.

You are still an old maid who can't get married, so you are not afraid that Baoshuan will beat you when he gets angry."

They were playing cards and talking in Chen Xiaoer's small yard on the hill when Chen Ling and Chen Baoshuan came over.

But after arriving, he did not enter the yard.

Instead, he walked over and started talking to Liang Yuemin and others who were playing with their children.

Everyone pricked up their ears and realized that it was not about Baoshuan, nor was it about building a breeding farm.

They were actually talking about a woman.

It is very rare to see Chen Ling talking about a woman.

Even before he became successful, he was not that kind of person.

I have something on my mind but I can't say it out loud.

"Fugui was talking about the young wife in the family planning office. She said someone called and found out something."

"What's going on? Director Qin and the female teacher from Xinling Middle School have a very good relationship with Susu. They often come over to play."

"I don't know. To be valued by the rich must be something extraordinary."

"Don't come closer at this time."

Yes, at this time, it was Liang Yuemin’s friend who brought back the news from Shenzhen.

It's news about Qin Qiumei's husband.

When Chen Ling heard about this during the New Year's greetings, he imagined a lot of melodramatic plots in his mind.

They thought that Qin Qiumei's man had abandoned her after having sex with her, or that he disliked Qin Qiumei for not being able to have children.

After making money outside, he found a mistress and kept her to bear children for him.

But unexpectedly, the information Liang Yuemin got was much more outrageous and complicated than this.

After hearing this, Chen Ling even felt that there was actually such a thing as a pie in the sky. (End of this chapter)
