Chapter 19 Mountain People(1/2)

"Su Su, you cut up the meat and wash the vegetables. I'll go to Uncle Wu's house and cook the vegetables when I get back."

Chen Ling put two bundles of vegetables and a bag of peanuts into the urea bag, and then said.

"ah?"

"Are you going to Uncle Wu to return the donkey cart now? The door to the backyard is locked. I'll get you the key."

When Wang Susu heard this, she got up and went into the house to get the key.

Chen Ling stretched out his hand to stop him, "No need to get the key. I'm not returning the donkey cart. The donkey cart will still be used tomorrow. I'm going to say hello to my fifth uncle."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"Then I'll get you a flashlight. It's getting dark."

Wang Susu didn't ask what she was going to do with the donkey cart tomorrow. She turned around and went to the house to help Chen Ling get a flashlight.

Chen Ling smiled when he saw this.

It's great to have such a little wife.

When Wang Susu brought the flashlight, Chen Ling took it in his hand and left the house.

I have to say that it is really dark at night in mountain villages in this era.

Not to mention street lights, there are very few that even have electric lights on.

It was so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers.

First, the current power supply is not very good, otherwise we would not have decided to build high-voltage power lines this year.

Another is that the mountain people are very frugal. They will continue to live as they did before.

I can't afford to install a TV, and I can't use electric lights. The monthly electricity bill is only a few cents, which is too much.

The term "dark light and blindness" is extremely appropriate when used in the current situation.

Chen Ling walked to Wang Laishun's house with a flashlight. When she entered, several members of the family were there.

There were kerosene lamps lit in the courtyard, and they ate around a round stone table.

"Hey, Fifth Uncle, Aunt Guizhen, are eating right now!"

Chen Ling put out the flashlight and walked in carrying peanuts and vegetables.

"Wealth has come! Have you bought everything?"

When Wang Laishun saw it was Chen Ling, he put down his bowl, got up and got him a maza.

"Bought it!"

Chen Ling nodded, and then said: "But Uncle Wu, I have to use the donkey cart for two more days..."

As soon as the words came out.

Wang Laishun's daughter-in-law, who had been silent when Chen Ling greeted her, suddenly frowned, and Wang Laishun's two daughters-in-law even rolled their eyes.

"Ah? Donkey cart?"

Wang Laishun was stunned for a moment, but didn't have any other reaction. He said while eating: "You can use it. Anyway, I haven't been busy yet, so you can use it if you want."

"Are you ready to plow?"

"Instead of plowing the fields, I still have to run back and forth to the county seat several times to pull some things."

Chen Ling waved his hand and explained.

When he said this, even Wang Laishun couldn't help but frown:

"Fugui, what are your plans?"

"I don't have any plans. I'm just going to buy the things I need to buy and start plowing the land."

Chen Ling smiled and wondered if he could tell outsiders what his plans were.

Upon hearing what he said, everyone in his family, except Wang Laishun, laughed secretly. This idiot was probably out of his mind.

Is there anything to worry about in Erzhu's land?

If you go to the county town and spend money to buy this or that, can you make a fool of yourself?

Look how he cried at the end!

"Okay, you can weigh it yourself."

Wang Laishun sighed, it was hard to say anything in front of his family.

"By the way, Fifth Uncle, I brought you something from the city."

Chen Ling opened the urea bag and took out a bunch of beans and a bunch of eggplants first.

Finally, there are peanuts.

Wang Laishun's family was surprised when they saw what Chen Ling brought out were fresh vegetables.

Vegetables are not cheap this season.

And they read it right, right? This is eggplant and beans?

"Beans? Eggplant? Peanuts?"

"Is it all fresh?"

Wang Laishun picked it up and looked at it, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Yeah, fresh."

"These are all produced in the greenhouse. They were just picked. I bought some when I came back from the county town."

Chen Ling smiled and nodded.

"What? Produced in a greenhouse?"

Wang Laishun was even more surprised.

"Is it the greenhouse that we have been supporting for the past two years? The one that Erzhu built in a few days?"

Chen Ling continued to nod.

At this time, everyone else on the table also put down their chopsticks and looked over.

Wang Laishun's daughter-in-law Liang Guizhen was too lazy to talk to Chen Ling just now, but now she came over, picked up the beans and eggplant, and took the initiative to talk to him:

"Fugui, the vegetables in this greenhouse cost a lot of money to buy per kilogram."

"Yeah, not bad."

Chen Ling responded lightly.

Seeing that Liang Guizhen was holding on to the two bundles of vegetables, I didn't know what she was thinking.

These vegetables are different from those at home.

Before he returned to the village, he found a hidden place and temporarily spawned it from the outside world.

Just like peanuts, they are just a little more delicious than ordinary vegetables.

Otherwise, he would not be willing to give it to anyone else.

"Aunt Guizhen, these peanuts are also fresh, just from the greenhouse."

"It'll be good to get up early tomorrow and cook some porridge for the kids."

Chen Ling reminded me.

Liang Guizhen said with a smile that she understood, but she still just held the two bundles of vegetables without letting go, and had no intention of looking at the peanuts.

why?

In this season, beans and eggplants are generally not seen at all.

Can it be much cheaper?

How much are peanuts worth?

When Chen Ling saw this, he found it funny and said, "Uncle Wu, I'll leave first. I'll bring the donkey cart back to you when it's finished."

"I'll give it to you!"

The vegetables in the greenhouse were delivered, and Wang Laishun was too embarrassed to sit still.

Chen Ling hurriedly said no, but Wang Laishun sent him to the gate of the hospital anyway.

After watching Chen Ling go away, he returned to the yard with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly he frowned and said: "This kid Fugui was beaten a lot. I'm afraid he was holding back some thoughts. Maybe this time I can really stir up some trouble for him."

"He can make a fool of himself. He is a lazy and lazy loser."

Liang Guizhen sighed and walked into the house holding two bundles of vegetables.

The two daughters-in-law looked at each other and dared not say anything.
