"By the way, Susu, this is for you, please keep it."

When Chen Ling saw Wang Susu's shy head hanging down to her chest, she stopped teasing her.

Then he took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to her.

"ah?"

"This money..."

When Wang Susu suddenly saw so much money, her pretty eyes widened and she was shocked.

It wasn't the amount of money that shocked her, but Chen Ling's act of handing her the money.

It's a bit unbelievable.

In the past, Chen Ling would only ask her for money, and would beat her if she didn't give her money. How had she ever seen a penny in his hand?

"This money is the land subsidy that Erzhu exchanged with our family. It is 200 yuan per mu. Our family has ten acres of land, which is exactly 2,000 yuan here."

Chen Ling explained the origin of the money and handed it to Wang Susu.

"Here, you put it away."

"ah?"

Wang Susu was still stunned. When she realized what she was doing, she asked: "You gave it to me, why don't you spend it, Aling? You have to go to the county town tomorrow..."

Chen Ling smiled and waved his hand: "I still have a little bit left in me, so you don't have to worry about me."

Half of the two thousand yuan was Chen Ling's money from selling peanuts, and the other half was leftover from the old Chen Ling.

When Chen Ling found out, he had only a little over a thousand yuan left.

In other words, the two thousand yuan given by Chen Erzhu, this bastard caused half of the disaster in less than half a month.

You must remember that this was 1995, and ordinary mountain people could spend one thousand yuan a year more than enough.

General contracted land costs only sixty or seventy yuan per mu per year.

Others call him a prodigal son, which is absolutely correct.

"Hurry up and put the money away. I'm going to cook."

Chen Ling said something to his daughter-in-law and walked to the yard to light a fire to cook.

Wang Susu held a thick wad of money, looked at Chen Ling's back, and felt much more at ease.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene where Chen Ling pinched her nose and talked about her little housekeeper. Wang Susu couldn't help but curl her lips, walked into the house with the money and put it down.

The little wife's heart finally calmed down.

…

In the early morning, the red sun rises.

Chen Ling got up, washed up, opened the door and walked out. Suddenly, a breath of fresh air hit her face.

In the morning in the mountains, the temperature is much colder than outside.

Suddenly, cold air was sucked into his lungs, and Chen Ling couldn't help but shiver.

After waiting for the entire respiratory system to adapt, the whole body felt relaxed.

This kind of cool and pure air will be extremely difficult to experience in later generations.

Chen Ling took a greedy deep breath, stretched his muscles, and walked out of the hospital.

On the toon tree outside the courtyard, two or three magpies flew in at some unknown time, chirping non-stop.

The crisp chirping of birds, the pure blue sky in the morning, and the warm and red sun in the east make people feel better.

Chen Ling walked towards the outside of the village, planning to take advantage of the morning light to go for a walk in the fields.

There is no need to rush to the farmer's market early today, just deliver the peanuts to the oil shop.

So it seemed quite relaxing.

"Eh? Fugui, what are you doing?"

"Go to the fields early in the morning?"

When we walked outside the village, a man in his thirties, wearing a police uniform and a big-brimmed hat, came from a short distance on a bicycle with a large beam.

After seeing Chen Ling, he said hello in surprise.

"Yeah, let's go for a walk in the fields."

"I just came back, Brother Jusheng..."

Chen Ling nodded and passed by Wang Jusheng.

This is Wang Laishun's eldest son.

He is a police officer from the rural police station and works night shifts several times a month. I often see him riding his bicycle back early in the morning.

The villagers of Chenwangzhuang all know this and have long been accustomed to it.

Chen Ling walked slowly along the field road, looking east and west, admiring the scenery of the fields at the foot of the mountain in the morning.

Wang Jusheng, on the other hand, turned around and looked back at Chen Ling several times after riding his bicycle, muttering something in his mouth and looking rather strange.

After a while, Chen Ling came to the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.

Looking around, he suddenly discovered that on the more than five acres of land where peanuts had been planted with Dongtian Creek water the day before yesterday, tender grass sprouts were sprouting out.

The tender green ones have just emerged and are very young.

If Chen Ling's physical condition had not improved and his eyesight had not greatly improved, he would not have noticed it at the first time.

"This guy, luckily I'm cautious enough!"

"Every time a peanut is planted, the stream will pour a little bit..."

"Otherwise, these wouldn't be grass sprouts now. I'm afraid the grass would be half as tall as a person."

Chen Ling pulled out a small grass bud and pinched it. The fresh smell of grass came out.

Although the grass buds are very delicate, they can grow at the foot of the mountain where the temperature is low, and they obviously contain considerable vitality.

Chen Ling couldn't help but secretly feel happy.

Fortunately, I was cautious enough in the beginning.

Thinking that half a bowl of stream water can make the morning glory seeds in the yard grow like a small tree.

When planting peanuts, the stream water is of little use.

Otherwise, green grass half as tall as a person would really grow all over the ground now...

It's okay if no one sees it, but it's a big trouble if someone sees it.

"It is still too underestimated the effect of Dongtian Stream."

"It seems that if we use Dongtian Creek water to irrigate things in the future, we have to dilute it appropriately with ordinary water."

Chen Ling thought to himself.

Sun Moon Cave Heaven is a great blessing. If you want to hold on to it, you have to develop in a low-key manner.

He still doesn't have the capital to be unscrupulous.

Afterwards, Chen Ling calmed down, took out a stone hoe from the cave, and dug a deep hole in the ground.

"The hard and solidified soil below has also become soft, and now we can plow the ground."

"I believe that by plowing the land twice, turning over the soil once, and planting crops with stream water several times, these thirty acres of wasteland can be turned into good farmland."

Chen Ling made an estimate in his mind. If it is quick, it can be completed within this month.

"Then let's get started!"

He gritted his teeth, spit on his hands, and rubbed them vigorously.

Chen Ling walked to the land where peanuts had not been planted, picked up a hoe and started digging pit after pit.

I took out a bucket of stream water from the cave, reduced the amount by two or three points from last time, and started planting peanuts in the pit.

Not long after, an acre of peanuts was grown and the harvest was completed.

"Plant another acre of vegetables."

There are nearly 3,000 kilograms of peanuts left unsold in Dongtian, so Chen Ling is not in a hurry to plant peanuts.

Get ready to plant some vegetables.

Because some of the vegetables grown in the cave have seriously overgrown.

Beans, eggplant, cucumber, spinach, tomatoes...

The growth is so gratifying, most of them are seeds bought from the county, and they are all bearing fruit, and the vines and branches are bent.

The spinach has grown into a large area, and it is too old. It has bloomed and grown spinach seeds, which are no longer edible.

Chen Ling picked a thick and long cucumber, briefly smoothed the thorns on the surface, and then took a bite.
