Chapter 53 The Dumb Girl
Looking at Heiwa and Xiaojin's flattering and flattering appearance, Chen Ling also smiled, not knowing their little thoughts.
This is a benefit.
Last time he brought the four-legged snake to him, Chen Ling rewarded the stream in the cave to cultivate their habit of picking up prey.
These two little things are very smart and have obviously recorded them.
"Go and go, it's not your own prey, what kind of credit should you invite?"
Chen Ling looked at it and was still shaking the snake's body in two halves, turned his head and asked, "Su Su, do you want this snake's gallbladder?"
"It's too small, don't want it."
Wang Susu shook her head gently.
Chen Ling naturally had no objection, and then the two continued to move forward.
...
On a spring afternoon, birds chirping in the forest, and colorful unknown flowers bloom, competing for beauty.
The sun shines through the dense forest and passes through the layers of leaves, like strands of golden fine sand falling on the woodland.
Chen Ling and Wang Susu walked in the forest on thick leaves, listening to the crisp birds singing and smelling the fragrant fragrance of flowers.
From time to time, pheasants and rabbits would startle, and flee around under the pursuit of two puppies.
Soon, half an afternoon passed.
The couple of Chen Ling and his wife had a good harvest. In addition to the common medicinal herbs, they also found a few Polygonatum plants and golden stitches. The prices of these medicinal herbs are pretty good.
Of course, we must not forget the wild Gastrodia elata we first saw.
Seeing that the light in the forest became dim, Chen Ling led the cow and went down the mountain with Wang Susu.
On the way back, there were many people busy in the farmland.
When I got closer, I found that most of them were planting crops such as peanuts and soybeans, and some were bent over in the fields to trim watermelon seedlings.
"Then is the new place of Sister Yuzhi's house. Remember to say hello later."
When he walked to a watermelon field under the steep slope, Wang Susu whispered to remind him.
Chen Ling took the opportunity to take a look and saw Wang Lixian's wife and eldest daughter working in the field, he nodded slightly to show that he knew.
...
"I'm busy, Sister Yuzhi."
Chen Ling and his younger couple stopped by the field and shouted.
Liu Yuzhi and his daughter in the field hurriedly got up and looked over. When they saw that it was Chen Ling and the others, they smiled.
Then he pointed to the watermelon seeds on the ground and pointed to the direction of the foot of the mountain.
It means there are many seedlings, should you take them away and plant some?
"No, we plan to plant some trees first this year, let's talk about the others."
Chen Ling waved his hand and pointed to the direction of the village, "Sister-in-law Yuzhi, please be busy, we'll go back first."
Liu Yuzhi waved her hand and asked them to wait a moment before signaling her daughter.
Then the woman with a ponytail leaned over and took a bundle of things, trotted over, and handed them to the two of them.
When Chen Ling saw that it was a common wild vegetable in the fields.
"Thank you, Da Nier, have Wu Nier left school?"
Da Ni'er nodded and smiled with teeth.
Although there are some freckles on your face, you smile extremely pretty and charmingly.
"Da Ni'er, when your family is fine, I'll go and play with me. Then, you, Uncle Fugui, cook for us."
"You don't know, your Uncle Fugui is so delicious now."
Wang Susu said with a smile.
Da Ni'er pursed her lips shyly, held Wang Susu's hand, and wrote two words gently.
Wang Susu was immediately very happy and nodded at her vigorously.
Then he said, "I'm fine now, A Ling is also fine. Da Ni'er, don't worry about us."
Da Ni'er glanced at Chen Ling after hearing this and smiled silently.
Then he waved his hands to the two of them, turned around and walked back into the field.
The young couple looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
He said goodbye to Liu Yuzhi again and continued walking home.
"Brother Xian is not going to work this year, so he is planning to plant watermelons in the newly allocated ten acres of land, so he can sell it for some money in the summer."
Chen Ling said, then looked back at the back: "But it is a tiring job to repair melon seeds. The sister-in-law and daughter of Yuzhi, who are both in the ten acres of land, can't finish them. If you have nothing to do, come and help them."
Trimming melon seedlings is a hard work. You must be patient and careful and pinch off the excess melon seedlings to maintain the nutrients and vitality of the entire watermelon vine and ensure that bigger and better watermelons are produced.
"Well, I just wanted to say that it's just hard to speak."
Wang Susu responded and looked up at him: "Sister-in-law Yuzhi and Da Nier are both strong people, so it's not easy to help them without any explanation."
The mother and daughter are mute, with strong self-esteem and are most afraid of others looking down on them.
Sometimes even if you have a kind heart, you may not accept it.
They want to be recognized, treated equally, rather than being sympathized and pitiful.
Chen Ling also understood and sighed: "I will talk to Brother Xian if I have the chance."
Wang Lixian’s five daughters.
Except for the eldest daughter who is at home, nothing else is there.
The second daughter is one year younger than the eldest daughter and got married last fall.
The third daughter went to work in the south early. She rarely went home since she left and never replied to her letter.
I dislike the poor family and the mute mother who sometimes doesn’t come back during the Chinese New Year, let alone send money to my house.
The fourth daughter finished technical secondary school in the county and just became a teacher. The fifth daughter took the college entrance examination this year.
In short, except Liu Nier, there are only two people in the family who can work.
"Well, if you can tell Brother Xian, you will be able to do it. Then the four of us will be able to finish it in two or three days."
Wang Susu said.
Then he rode the cow again and asked Chen Ling to lead him into the village.
When he got home, Chen Ling went to Cui Chuizi's shop to buy a piece of pork, washed and chopped the wild vegetables, and prepared dinner to make wild vegetable dumplings.
It's still early and there's plenty of time.
The two of them slowly wrapped the dumplings and cooked them out.
While dusk and before dark, Chen Ling went to give Wang Lixian's house two big bowls.
By the way, I told Wang Lixian about the melon seeds.
Wang Lixian's tense face calmed down slightly, looked at Chen Ling seriously, and said, "You two don't have to worry about this. My second Nier and her man will come tomorrow. Liu Nier will also spend Sundays, and she will be able to finish it in two days of busy work."
Chen Ling didn't say anything more when he heard this.
On the contrary, when Wang Li gave him two big fish when he gave him out.
It was when I was working on Erzhu today, someone else took it from the reservoir. After lunch, there were a lot of leftovers, and it was still fresh.
Chen Lingtui couldn't refuse, so he had to take it back.
He also knew that this honest man was expressing his gratitude in this way.
It's not good to refuse.
When I got home, I ate two bowls of hot wild vegetable dumplings and poured them a bowl of dumpling soup to eat.
Eat and drink enough, feed the chickens, dogs and cows.
Chen Ling sat under the lamp and helped Wang Susu weave a bamboo basket.
To go up the mountain tomorrow, not only do you have to fill a lot of medicinal materials.
Chen Ling also wants to dig bamboo shoots.
He put all the bamboo baskets in the backyard into the cave to fill vegetables. Wang Susu had asked about it before, but he casually evaded it.
It is not easy to take it out now, so I have to make one up now.
The bamboo basket was weaved that night, and the next day the two of them successfully brought herbs and bamboo shoots down the mountain.
But after returning home, something unexpected happened to them.
