Jinmen Village is dominated by the two surnames Jin and Liu. Most of the people along the Jinshui River are named Jin, and the rest are named Liu.

So we still have to walk a little further into the village.

After the two pointed out Chen Ling's location, he came to the door.

In old age, people who visit someone's house to announce a funeral must come and go quickly. They do not enter the front door, but shout loudly outside the door. After announcing the funeral, they ask for a mouthful of water to rinse their mouths to drive away the unknown, and then return immediately without staying for a moment.

But it's no longer so strict now.

As long as you don't enter the door, there is nothing else to be tabooed about.

"From the Guangjun family, which village does this child come from? Has he or she gotten married? If not, let me tell my daughter. Look, this one is fair and good-looking. It is a perfect match for my daughter..."

"You can pull me down, sister-in-law. This is from our aunt's village in Guangjun. She is a descendant of the old Chen family. She has already married a daughter-in-law."

"Ah? You're getting married at such a young age. I look like I'm not even twenty yet."

"You're under twenty. That's because you work less and have a tender skin. That's why you look young, unlike us who are exposed to the sun."

"Speaking of this young man, you must also know that he was a messenger before he arrived. His name was Chen Juncai. He was really handsome and tall, and he also had a very good appearance."

"Ah, I understand. No one among the lazy boys from Chen Juncai's family in Chen Wangzhuang dares to call the matchmaker."

"How about being so fair and fair, being too lazy to move around, and not doing any work, isn't that in vain?"

"Can this kid even find a wife?"

Chen Ling was riding his bicycle with his head down, and he could hear the muttering of two women behind him, which made him laugh for a while.

Then, continue to the next village to inquire and come to the door.

In this way, from Kinmen Village, Taoshugou, south to east, going back and forth to more than a dozen villages.

I have just finished notifying Fourth Grandma’s brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and nephews.

There's nothing we can do about it.

In the past, people had many children, and there were a large number of relatives of all kinds, and all close and distant relatives had to be known to everyone.

There are also some who are not at home.

After telling his family this.

This eliminates the need to visit the house to pay condolences and pay homage.

As the saying goes: "No one will be surprised if you receive a red gift, but no one will accept a white gift."

Don’t let your family members give you the gift money on your behalf.

Being dishonest is unlucky.

Chen Ling's pockets were also filled with cigarettes.

Even though I don’t have any water to rinse my mouth now when I come to announce my funeral.

But there is a lot of smoke.

Some give one tube, and some just give one box.

This is what matters.

No need to decline politely.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Ling put the cigarette into the cave, prepared to notify the last family, and went to Huangni Town for a meal.

Today, we walked southeast to report the funeral, getting further and further away from Changle Township, but getting closer and closer to Huangni Town.

Huangni Town is not big, but it has a lot of food.

Roast chicken, beef soup, pot helmets, steamed buns, mutton dumplings...

Chen Ling could smell the fragrance from afar.

When we arrived in town, we ordered a big bowl of mutton dumplings.

This was what he craved most when he was in school.

But I usually can’t eat it at all.

My family doesn't have that condition.

I was very worried about it.

Mutton dumplings are grilled and served.

Lamb sautee, red spicy oil soup, green-gray fried noodles, steaming hot and full of aroma.

Take a big sip and slip it into your mouth, it's extremely enjoyable.

Chen Ling, one bowl is not enough, please have another bowl.

While he was eating his second bowl, he suddenly heard someone calling him...

"Brother Ling, why did you come to Huangni Town?"

When he looked up, he saw Han Chuang's target, Jiang Xiaoqing, looking at him in surprise.

"Ah, I'm here to do something. You don't want to go to work today."

"I'm not busy today. It happened that my mother asked me to go back and check on something in my hometown, so I ran back secretly."

"Brother Ling, do you have enough to eat? I know you have a big appetite, so I can't give you enough noodles. This is my restaurant, you can eat whatever you want."

"Your restaurant..."

"It's enough to eat, it's very filling, and the fried rice is delicious, much better than the ones in the county."

Chen Ling responded quickly.

I thought what a coincidence. It was because I didn’t go out much in the past.

I walked around a lot today and kept running into familiar people.

Jiang Xiaoqing thought he was being polite, so she went inside and called her father out, and added another bowl of mutton. It was oily and full of big chunks.

This guy made Chen Ling feel embarrassed.

"If you are a classmate with Chuangzi, you are not an outsider. Eat with peace of mind. From now on, you will know that this is our own restaurant. Whenever you walk into town and get hungry, just come here. I have nothing else to do, so I can give you a good meal."

"

Father Jiang is not tall, he is a strong and stocky man, with pitted faces and a pair of triangular eyes. He looks a bit untouchable, but when he is enthusiastic, he makes people feel close to him.

Later, Jiang Xiaoqing also brought out bowls and chopsticks.

It was noon, and since there was no market today, there was no one to eat, so the three of them sat down to eat together.

There is too much to say.

Chen Ling also slowly let go.

After chatting with Jiang Xiaoqing and his daughter, he realized that Jiang Xiaoqing was called back because his grandfather's cow fell ill.

She works as a technician at the county agricultural bureau, and her family wants her to ask an acquaintance to find a veterinarian, but there is no result.

Huangni Town is too small, and many of the people here, like Han Chuang's family, run factories, do business, paper mills, canneries, coal factories, etc., all rushing to make money.

The animal husbandry station can't make any money, so it has long been deserted.

So it is not easy to find a veterinarian.

Some people who know better just want to buy medicine and feed it to the cattle, and don't want to go to the countryside because it would be troublesome.

If the sick cow cannot be cured, and if you want to sell it, the price will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, it cannot be cured, and as the disease continues, the body will become thinner and thinner, and a lot of pounds will be lost.

Of course it won't work if it goes on like this.

"Have you found a veterinarian? If not, I will go and have a look."

"Brother Ling, you..."

"I am now the veterinarian at the livestock station in our village. Except for serious illnesses that require surgery with this medicine or that, I can take care of ordinary minor illnesses."

"Oh, isn't this a coincidence? The Anda family's cows don't have any serious problems. They just keep having diarrhea. It's been almost two months. I just fed some herbs and didn't care about it. Now it's getting worse and worse.

I'm so thin that I don't want to lie down when I'm sleeping, and I don't move very much when grazing cows on weekdays, so I'm skinny and skinny."

Lao Jiang sighed sadly: "I originally raised beef cattle. How can this be done? Tell me..."

Chen Ling said: "No, but the problem of diarrhea can be big or small. Whether it is pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, or chickens, ducks and geese, people often have diarrhea when they are sick. Some diarrhea can be cured, and some are serious problems. Let's go and take a look first.

What exactly is going on?"

"Is it far?"

"It's not far, it's at the Pigeon Camp, but it won't delay your work, Brother Ling."

"The things have been done. Let's go to Gangeying. I happen to be going home from the county town on the way. Let's go."

Anyway, now that the funeral is over, there's nothing more to worry about.

"If I can't cure it, I'll find you an old veterinarian. I know two or three of them in our village. The nearest one isn't far from the county seat, but they usually have other jobs..."
