My 1995 Small Farm

Because Zhao Dahai and Liang Yuemin did not arrive together.

After Chen Ling arranged for Zhao Dahai, he also wanted to pick up Liang Yuemin's family.

During the phone call, the two agreed to come together, but it was different on Liang Yuemin's side.

Now that the braised beef noodles are in hot demand, they simply can’t live without people.

He wanted to come out, but it was really a lot of trouble.

Not only do everything have to be arranged, some factories even have to temporarily suspend operations.

Trouble is not just one or two things.

Fortunately, Liang Yuemin is a very enterprising person, and his skills are quite sharp. Although he is very young, he is actually very ruthless when he should be ruthless. That is called a vigorous and resolute person.

There is one shortcoming. At this stage, his teammates are all too stretched, and no one can stand up to him.

That's why it's so hard to go out.

I originally expected that like Zhao Dahai, I would arrive after dark.

Now, it's estimated that we can't set off until dark, and we can only arrive by water tomorrow morning.

There was no other way, so Chen Ling had no choice but to bring Zhao Dahai and his gang back first.

When they got home, Liang Hongyu and Liang Hongyu also talked about how their son was too busy.

I’ve said it several times and now that I know so many things, can’t I make arrangements earlier?

It would be great to make arrangements early, come over early to meet everyone, and enjoy the fun with your loved ones.

In the old man's mind, when it came time to seriously entertain guests, Chen Ling couldn't care less.

We can't just have a few people in our family and reminisce happily together.

This is true.

This is how everyone handles things. Relatives who are closer to each other arrive early. Before arranging anything to do, they first catch up on old times and talk about the current situation...

Doesn't this make you look closer?

It's a pity that after waiting for this long, people can't make it.

How frustrating.

Chen Ling had to comfort him for a while, saying that this year's Chinese New Year, Brother Yuemin and the others had to spend it here anyway, and it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year.

After all, he calmed down the second elder.

For Chen Ling, there is actually no difference between one day earlier and one day later. Anyway, he picked up someone today and will pick him up tomorrow.

Tomorrow Yu Qian, Chen Xiaoer, Professor Feng and others will be coming.

If it was last year, so many people would come all at once, Chen Ling would feel conflicted and repelled.

It's not that he doesn't like excitement, he just doesn't like too much excitement.

But now, most of the people who came were friends, and they came for his two little kids, so he was very happy.

I have been feeling happy these past few days.

And I want to take out all the good things at home to entertain friends.

That's called a highly motivated person.

…

So, early the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Chen Ling got up and started killing sheep and cows.

The sheep were those raised by his family, and Chen Ling picked half-grown sheep that had just grown from lambs to kill.

This is all good mutton.

As for the cattle, they were also bought from the village. Their heads were hammered down to bleed them, skin them and cut their flesh.

Zhao Dahai and others, as well as Chen Ling's old classmate who worked in the city, all came to help.

Zhao Dahai has become addicted to hammering.

Can't say it's enough.

They hit the cow's head with a big oil hammer and chant sutras.

Because it was too cruel, I muttered a few words to ask the cow not to blame himself.

Chen Ling’s old classmate, Wang Tao.

He is also a leader in the government, and he has seen Chen Ling many times in the news and newspapers.

But after arriving here, I was still a little confused.

Confused indeed.

He originally thought that he had overestimated Chen Ling, an old classmate, as much as possible.

I didn’t expect that after I arrived, my dear, who are these people?

Even friends from Wandao came.

It is said that some big stars from Hong Kong Island have been here before.

There is no way. In the minds of people these days, Hong Kong Island and Bay Island represent places that are in line with international standards, represent wealth, and represent wealthy people. When you hear it, they feel high-end and foreign.

So I am a very clever person, and I want to help even though I got up so early.

But as soon as I came out, I was so confused that I didn't know what to do, and I felt at a loss.

Come on, I won't be able to get a word in.

Later, Wang Cunye came over and said a few words before he calmed down.

It doesn't take long for Chen Ling to kill sheep and cows.

It mainly takes a little time to peel and cut the flesh.

In one morning, they killed four and a half sheep, one ox, and several large pots of meat.

Chen Ling didn't even have time to take care of him after the killing, so he hurriedly got in the car and went directly to Tenghe Township to pick up the people.

The first ones to come were indeed Liang Yuemin's family.

As Chen Ling expected, they came all night.

Before the boat even docked, from far away, Little Fatty and Little Lizi called "Uncle" and jumped up and down to say hello to him.

The two children missed Chen Ling so much.

I would spend two hours talking to him on the phone.

In normal times, they kept all Chen Ling's newspapers.

I admire him extremely.

Chen Ling also liked the two children very much. He let them sit on his shoulders and carried them for a long distance along the river bank.

After Yu Qian and others arrived one after another, he put them down and rushed to the village.

In this era, there are still many people traveling at night.

For no other reason than to be able to sleep at night, I arrive at the station as soon as I close my eyes and open them.

Otherwise, in this era with such backward traffic conditions, rushing on the road would be a really terrible and terrible thing.

Especially in the mountains, no one dares to drive a car.

The road is too difficult to walk.

Taking the water route is easier but takes longer.

Walking continuously for more than twelve hours, going around in circles, can be annoying to death during the day.

Although people these days will have more patience in this regard than people in later generations.

But no matter what, that kind of suffering cannot be faked.

Therefore, Yu Qian and others also chose the water route with tacit understanding.

This saves Chen Ling's trouble.

He got up at six o'clock, went out at seven o'clock, and picked up everyone. It was already past nine o'clock.

It's past nine o'clock, which can barely be considered morning in this winter.

When we arrived at home, the big pot of mutton had been cooked. Everyone drank a bowl of hot mutton soup to warm themselves up. After saying hello to acquaintances and Chen Ling's own family, he continued to be busy.

After killing the cattle and sheep, the pigs must be killed; after the pigs are killed, the chickens and ducks must be killed.

In addition to poultry and livestock, game is also indispensable.

Pheasant, hare, muntjac, deer, wild boar, bamboo rat, squirrel.

It can be said that it has everything. Close to the mountains, you can eat whatever you want.

There are prey caught by Chen Ling himself, as well as contributions from the young boys in the village.

More of it was contributed by the group of young men in the countryside and the hunters from the Yangtou Valley.

Chen Ling helped them hunt wolves. They felt that their previous intentions were not fulfilled, so they sent a lot more of the prey they had recently killed. They felt that this was what they should do.

It takes quite a while to pack up these meat ingredients.

After all, Professor Han sent the recipe.

Chen Ling still wants to make some dishes by herself tomorrow.

Even if you don’t cook it yourself, you should say hello to tomorrow’s cook and share how to make these dishes.

In addition to busy work...

Relatives and friends from Fenglei Town also arrived at noon.

I won’t go into detail about the eldest uncle and second uncle’s two families.

The two of them came here to help, and immediately started working with them.

Other relatives looked here and there, but they had never seen such a big scene.

I haven’t seen many strange things in the farm.

As evening approached, Lao Zhou and Ding Haidong finally arrived.

By this time, people finally arrived.

The 100-day banquet held by Chen Ling's family for the two little ones also started in such busyness.

Happy events related to children are not like weddings where firecrackers go off and loudspeakers blare.

But the joy on the faces of the Chenwangzhuang villagers was nothing short of remarkable.

It was as if they were holding a happy event for their own family.

One by one, they invited friends from the city to toast and chat.

It wasn't just Chen Ling-related things that he talked about. He talked about everything from Chen Wangzhuang's local area, from the mountains, all kinds of legends and stories, and gossip and anecdotes.

Among them are old antiques like Fourth Grandpa.

I know the story of the bandit wars before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

What famine, what hunters, carpenters.

Know more than anyone else.

In addition, Chen Guoxing was also an educated person. Since Wang Laifu's death, he has become less autistic.

When it comes to talking with others, he is no worse than Fourth Grandpa.

What I keep saying is that I have no feelings for this land...

The atmosphere of scar literature is almost overwhelming.

At first, relatives in Fenglei Town were shocked by Wang Cunye's son-in-law's ability.

I feel like the guests here are too fashionable.

Little did they know that these guests were also shocked. They never imagined that there was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the village.

Good guy, the education level of the people here is not only high, but when they talk about it, it feels like their conversation skills are even better than those of several professors and university teachers.

Then I heard about Wang Laifu’s story.

Suddenly I felt sad again.

Many people actually lamented again, saying that since ancient times, many such talented people have ended up miserable.

In short, this scene was more lively and harmonious than Chen Ling imagined.

When the running water mat is laid out...

Various delicacies from the mountains and wild game, mountain and wild flavor, Republic of China flavor, plus hard dishes for rural banquets.

Finally, these people no longer cared about talking so much, and sat down to devour everything.

Afterwards, Chen Ling made a toast and almost visited the whole village.

"You are so proud of being rich and having children."

"I'm telling you, you kid, you have to submit your manuscript next year. When I came here, those old friends were really annoying me."

"What? No, Uncle Feng, are you still urging me to write the manuscript today? Are you making a mistake?"

When the toasts reached the professors' table, Feng Yi, the moustache, started urging the manuscript without opening his mouth.

Chen Ling was suddenly stunned and extremely shocked.

Zhao Yubao and others burst out laughing when they saw this.

After laughing, he let him leave: "Okay, okay, let him go today... If you want me to say that this lazy boy is not worth paying attention to, in the future, I will grab Ruirui and the two little ones to work hard and train the three of them." Small.”

"...Fugui, my old classmate is here. Do you recognize me? I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are really promising."

"Yes, yes. Nowadays, letters are written in traditional Chinese characters. It scares me."

"Hahahaha, this makes me laugh to death..."

"The last time I saw you was in high school, and now, today, I'm actually attending your baby's 100-day banquet. I'm so happy."

"Come on, come on, have a drink, we can get together often from now on."

"Thank you Hongbo. Without Hongbo, we still wouldn't be able to contact you."

"Okay, okay, I'll have a drink with Hong Bo."

After catching up with old classmates, we finished our drinks.

I came to drink with my fellow villagers.

On a happy day, the villagers sat almost from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. This was really more lively than the Chinese New Year.

There has never been such a big scene in the village.

There has never been such a big banquet.

Therefore, every face of the villagers is bright.

Chen Ling also feels that today is the happiest day for him in a while. He has no limit to the ingredients today, and everyone can sit down and eat.

After going around in circles, the whole village toasted with wine, and everyone was welcome to drink.

He doesn't care about elders or juniors, and no one will discuss this with him today.

Seeing that he was happy, he drank happily.

Gentlemen, why are you talking about so many rules?

Men in rural areas don't know how to say blessings. They only say a few words to reflect on how their children will grow up.

Even so, Chen Ling felt extremely comfortable when he heard it.

I accidentally drank too much.

…

"You must have drunk too much, Fugui. Come and take pictures while you are still drunk!"

As soon as Chen Ling went back after the toast, Liang Hongyu grabbed his arm and walked home with a smile on her face.

When they walked into the farm, Wang Susu and the others were ready and waiting for Chen Ling to come back.

Wang Susu hugged Kangkang, Liu Yin hugged Lele, and Ruirui followed the little fat man, little Lizi, and Yaya, eating meat next to them.

Liang Yuemin and Zhao Dahai were still greeting the guests, their faces flushed from drinking.

Everyone was smiling. When they saw Chen Ling coming, they stood up and waved for him to come over: "Come on, come on, I'm just asking you to take pictures, take pictures."

"Uncle, uncle, after I finish eating, I want to take a photo with the little white cow."

"I want it too, I want it too, uncle, I only like the little white cow. I want to sit on the little white cow and play the flute."

"Dad, Heihei, Jinjin and I..."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Ling wholeheartedly agreed. Looking at the smiles of the little children and relatives in the yard, she thought to herself, "That's great."

At this moment, when he was drunk and dizzy, he even thought emotionally in his heart, I hope my friends will always be here, and I hope my relatives will never grow old. (End of chapter)
