Shooting the Crane

Yu Qian felt strange.

Bai Huining is even more like this.

Not to mention the joy and surprise after seeing the little clouded leopard.

It's not like they haven't been to the zoo.

But how can the animals in the zoo compare to those encountered outside, let alone those raised by others?

It felt like those legendary stories told by Yu Qian were actually happening before my eyes, and I had even begun to imagine the love-hate drama between Little Leopard and Chen Ling's family.

Originally, she didn't go to the mountain to see the red-crowned cranes yesterday. Yu Qian told her that the mountains were dangerous and that egrets and cranes were annoying.

She still felt a little bit regretful and unhappy.

But the little leopard I saw today was a little clouded leopard I had never heard of before. All the little emotions in my heart were thrown out of my mind.

It's a pity that this cute little clouded leopard is not allowed to be touched, otherwise this trip would really be a complete success.

But that's okay.

When Chen Ling and others drove the bullock cart on their second trip to the reservoir dam to transport things and set up stalls, they took them to the forest behind the Tutu Temple to see the egrets' nests, some of which were in trees and others.

In the tall grass, eggs have begun to be laid.

It is also a very novel feeling to secretly watch the egrets squawking in the grass, hatching eggs and feeding each other through the tall and lush grass.

Bai Huining even began to fantasize about the post-marriage honeymoon that became popular in Beijing. Instead of going anywhere else, she would come here.

The little romance in my heart is causing trouble.

Yu Qian, who didn't even notice that his true nature had been completely exposed, began to take Ruirui everywhere to chase birds.

…

Setting up a stall on the reservoir dam is also quite fun.

Since Chenwangzhuang has been visited by a large number of tourists several times before, the small businessmen and hawkers are already familiar with the road.

So early in the morning, we put out a bunch of food and fun things.

The villagers in Chenwangzhuang also put out their own things.

For example, some cereals such as peanuts, soybeans, mung beans, adzuki beans, etc.

There are also those selling tobacco leaves, bamboo weaving, farm tools, hunting equipment, and clothes.

Chen Ling is with them in this village.

Next to Wang Lihui who sells clothes.

He and his father-in-law set up a mat and curtain, and he wrote the four characters "Excellent Wheat Seeds" on the sign. Then the family sat together, with a beautiful white buffalo behind him, lying there and grazing slowly.

The little baby is climbing up and down next to the white buffalo, which is very eye-catching.

Wang Susu also followed.

But after a while, two good sisters, Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun, came to see her. They said they were here to attend the temple fair, so Wang Susu took them for a walk, and then called Bai Huining and went back together.

Only Chen Ling and the other senior men are left here.

"Ruirui, come here and play, I'll take you to buy food."

Liu Nier and the others are shouting.

After the children called Ruirui, the adults also called Chen Ling.

"Fugui, it's ten o'clock, come here and let off the cannon."

It was Chen Dazhi and Chen Baoshuan calling him.

It's the first temple fair today, and at the end of the day, cannons will be fired. This is a salute.

Whenever this happens, many people rush to release it.

This is purely for fun.

"coming."

Chen Ling stood up and jumped out. Together, they untied a large plate of firecrackers from the sack and then put them away with a bang.

After setting off the firecrackers, Ruirui followed a group of bears in the village and watched under a big tree not far away. They stuck out their butts, shrank their heads, imitated others, plugged their ears, and laughed happily.

non-stop.

Even the small vendors became lively.

After the cannons were fired, near noon, the village began to beat gongs and drums, and all of a sudden, it really felt like a temple fair.

This became very lively, and many people even came to inquire about Chen Ling's wheat seeds and buy them.

"Good fellow, Fugui, why are you so arrogant?"

"That's right, why do you still need to set up a stall?"

It was the old man from the rural animal husbandry station who came with his son-in-law Station Master Li to see the animals.

Today at the temple fair, there are many livestock sellers at the intersection east of the reservoir.

"Let's take a look, we are still selling wheat seeds. How much can we get for them?"

"Hahaha, I'm just here to have fun. It's the first year's temple fair in our village. Let's join in the fun. Big Brother is going home for lunch at noon."

"..."

"Fugui? Is this Chen Fugui, the tiger hunter? What is he doing?"

"Whoever sets up the stall knows what he sells? Hey, old uncle, what is that sold by Chen Fugui from your village?"

When many people heard his name, they also learned about the power of his high-quality wheat seeds from the local villagers guarding the merit box.

It has high yield, plump grains and strong disease resistance.

Many people were moved after listening to it.

Think about it, it's the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and it won't be long before the autumn harvest.

Wheat will be planted after the autumn harvest.

Now that we have encountered such good wheat seeds, it is time to prepare.

If you have wheat seeds in your own village, you can just exchange them for the same pound of wheat.

But since Chen Ling sells it at a stall, it must be a little more expensive than ordinary wheat.

However, this is something that most rural people can afford.

In addition, the land in the mountains is small and there are not many wheat seeds to buy.

It's done for three to five dollars.

It looks inconspicuous, as if no one is buying it, but in fact, people keep coming over to ask.

Just after noon, several large bags of wheat seeds were sold out. Since there were so many people coming one after another, even the mats and curtains put out by the father-in-law were slowly sold out.

The prices of farm products at such gatherings and temple fairs are not very high.

Therefore, no one who bought it felt that they had made a loss. On the contrary, after buying it, they all said that they had bought something from the tiger-fighting hero. Everyone was beaming with joy and yelled at everyone they met.

…

"Dad, rice~"

A chubby little baby was riding on a big golden dog, smiling and waving his little hands at Chen Ling.

Next to her was Gao Xiulan, carrying a basket and picking some vegetables in the village yard.

"Lingzi, call your dad and go home for dinner."

"I'm coming."

Chen Ling rolled up a few urea bags, weighed them with a small star pole, put them on the bullock cart, shouted at the crowd to get out of the way, and slowly drove out.

"Fugui, can you still sell a stall this afternoon?"

"Come on, I'll come over when I have nothing to do. My father-in-law is here anyway."

"Okay, then I'll hold your seat for you."

"okay."

Chen Ling smiled at Wang Lihui and nodded, then shouted to her father-in-law who was bargaining with someone at a tobacco stall not far away: "Dad, let's go, let's go home for dinner first."

While shouting, he drove the bullock cart to the entrance of the village.

First, he picked up Ruirui, the brat from Xiaojin, and rubbed his little face: "There are so many people, and you are still riding a dog everywhere. You are not afraid of being abducted by a beggar. Go back and see if your mother can beat him."

spank you."
