This was a real surprise.

Since this convenience was available, Chen Ling naturally would not refuse, so while eating, he discussed the time to start work.

Chen Ling had read a lot about the relevant building materials during this period, and probably had a good idea. He set a time to start construction and was able to prepare quickly.

"In a while, we will go to various counties to install new transformers, set up electric wires, and plant electric poles. Alas, this busy work is really endless. From the beginning of spring to now, there is no time to stop."

Transformers at this time are very backward.

Not only does it cause high losses and noise, it is also very unsafe.

Therefore, once a new transformer is developed, it must be replaced in each county as soon as possible.

Since then, even if Zhao Dahai is the leader, he has become busy, running around and staying away from home day by day.

"In this case, I want to have a good time and relax today. It's rare to bring my sister-in-law and Yaya over here."

"Hahaha, I must have a good time. In the afternoon, I will go to the countryside to find Jusheng. Tomorrow we will go to my sister's house to attend the temple fair together. It will be lively and lively."

Zhao Dahai got up from the ground in a hurry and accompanied Chen Ling to clean up the debris on the ground.

No one can bear to ruin such a picturesque place.

Then the two men filled in the bamboo rat holes dug in two places.

At this time, he also knew that Chen Ling could not go around visiting relatives these days, so he felt quite regretful.

"There is no regret. We have three temple fairs a year here, so there is always a suitable time."

"Sister-in-law Wenxia, ​​come here too. The water flow is wider here, the sunshine is better, and there is a place to sit."

Deep in the bamboo forest, there is another spacious shallow stream. The bottom is covered with smooth stones. Some are above the water, smooth and huge, and have been warmed by the sun. There are also stones on the sides covered with green moss.

"The scenery here is so beautiful. To be honest, if it wasn't too far away, I would have booked this entire mountain and this entire lake."

Zhao Dahai muttered in a low voice, then walked to Chen Ling's side, sat down on the big bluestone opposite him, and then let out a strange "Ahhh" sound: "This stone is so cold."

When his daughter saw him, she grinned with her baby teeth exposed, and liked to see him look deflated.

"This place is very nice. I'll ask our party secretary later. The village held a meeting before and wanted to contract out the reservoir and surrounding mountains and forests. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"If it doesn't work, just divert a stream of water from the opposite mountain, and then divert the small river ditch next to the orchard, and circle it twice to plant lotus and raise fish. It can make it look better, otherwise the water flow will be too small and slow, and it will be easy to

smell."

Chen Ling does have some ideas, but it is not suitable to make it too big now. At most, as he said, he can just lead a stream down, decorate it, and add embellishments.

Anyway, don't rush now, just take it step by step and take your time.

"Sister-in-law Wenxia, ​​sister Qiumei, sit on top of me. It's warm here, but the rocks on Brother Dahai's side don't get the sun's rays and are very cold."

"Oh, it's true, the rocks here are very warm."

When they sat down, Chen Ling took out a set of playing cards from his pocket: "Come on, come on, after you have eaten and drank enough, let's start playing the cards. Such a good sun is so comfortable to be basked in, so we can't waste it."

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, and then screamed strangely: "You are too complete, you bring oil, seasonings, and playing cards with you."

"Of course, it depends."

Chen Ling smiled and started shuffling the cards, "Actually, this is the only thing that is easy to carry. If you want to play chess and mahjong, I have no choice."

Then the group of people sat deep in the bamboo forest by the mountain stream, basking in the late autumn afternoon sun and playing cards. Chen Ling tinkered with various ways to play, laughing constantly, and it was very comfortable.

...After having fun, I returned home at around two o'clock in the afternoon. By this time, the yogurt was almost ready, but the time was still a bit short. The yogurt was not too thick and a bit sour.

But this kind of yogurt also has its benefits.

It can be squeezed into juice from wild fruits picked in the mountains and drunk together. It is sour and sweet, very delicious, and there is almost no smell of goat milk.

Zhao Dahai finished a bowl and exhaled comfortably: "It's really good. It's just that you have the mind to tinker with these things. You can see new tricks every time I come here. To be honest, everything I see when I come to your house is good."

, I don’t even want to leave, I want to taste it all the time, hahaha.”

"Screw you, wealth is for Susu, it's useless for you to be greedy."

Xiang Wenxia glanced at her husband, and then asked Chen Ling how to make yogurt like this.

Chen Ling didn't hide it either. Of course, this method of making yogurt was nothing special.

After he finished speaking, he warned: "I'm actually still in my prime. The yogurt is a bit too thin. Let's try this yogurt made with rice wine. If it's done well and given enough time, it can be made into egg custard.

It's soft and bouncy. After it's done, add some red dates, wolfberry, hawthorn, etc., and eat it with a spoon. It has less alcoholic taste and less sour taste. It's best as an after-dinner snack and can be eaten all year round."

"Sister-in-law, if you want to make it when you get home, remember to pay attention to what I said. It's very good for the baby to eat."

Xiang Wenxia was extremely happy after hearing this and praised him profusely. Qin Qiumei also kept nodding her head in approval.

Wang Susu on the side saw it and felt happy in her heart. She couldn't help but feel proud of you. She also felt sweet and enviable as her husband changed his ways. It also made her feel more and more happy and satisfied.

He just sat there quietly with his chin in his hand, not saying anything, just watching Chen Ling and listening to what he was talking to others.

But Chen Ling didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "I just read a lot. I've probably read Dream of Red Mansions. Yuanchun Province personally took an examination of Jia Baoyu's knowledge. Later, he gave him and Xi Ren a steamed cheese cheese dish, but it was eaten by the family.

I asked my mother-in-law to eat it secretly. What is this steamed cheese with sugar? It doesn’t sound good to me, but to put it bluntly, it’s the yogurt we make using rice wine as a starter..."

Everyone was immediately more amazed.

Zhao Dahai even laughed directly and said: "If I didn't say that you are so awesome at Fugui, who would pay attention to this when we watch Dream of Red Mansions..."

"Then what are you looking at?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his wife Xiang Wenxia suddenly asked abruptly.

Zhao Dahai immediately felt like a rooster strangling his neck. He couldn't laugh anymore and just hesitated: "This, this happened a long time ago, I have forgotten it a long time ago."

It made everyone laugh.

This fat man was quite afraid of his wife. After making people laugh at him, he quickly took Chen Ling and went to the countryside to bring Wang Jusheng back.

Then it was lively again.

Just like that, it didn't disperse until dusk.

I really had a lot of fun today, and I don’t have any regrets if I can’t get together for the temple fair. The guests and hosts had a great time.

When it got dark and the guests were sent away, Chen Ling and his wife went to the fourth grandma's place to have dinner and help. After finishing pressing the paper, they came back and went to bed early.

Chen Ling had to get up in the middle of the night to visit the grave.

...The digging of the grave went very smoothly. I followed Chen Dazhi and several older men who had experience. We went there at three o'clock in the morning and spent about two hours digging the grave. When we came back, each person shared a few packs of cigarettes.

This time it took a longer time, mainly because there are a lot of things to pay attention to when digging a tomb, and all aspects have to be taken into consideration.

In addition, in recent years, the tombs have been moved to the mountains to the west to prevent them from occupying farmland.

There are too many rocks on the mountain and it is difficult to dig. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is incomparable to the old cemetery near Chen Ling's orchard.

When they returned from digging the grave, it was already past five o'clock in the morning. Everyone was too lazy to go home and stayed to wait for breakfast in the morning.

Today is the third day of the funeral. After breakfast, there were many mourners.

As soon as the mourners came over, they went into the mourning hall to kowtow, offer incense and burn paper.

Chen Ling and the others were setting off cannons outside.

At this time, there is no restriction on how many cannons are fired, as long as it is an odd number of sounds.

Then the etiquette officer shouted: "Return the courtesy."

The filial sons and grandsons on both sides of the mourning hall knelt down, knelt down with their heads on the ground, and began to cry, and the trumpeter also blew.

The trumpeter still plays straight music every morning, that is, straight tune and straight tone.

In the evening, before pressing the paper, play "Bao Miao", "Crying Seven Passes" and other tragic tunes.

But during the funeral, the song played without exception was "Su Wu Sheep".

This is the only fixed piece of music besides the straight score every morning.

This piece of music is low, heavy, desolate and sad. Compared with the straight sound played every morning, it makes people cry more easily. It is a very tear-jerking suona piece.

With a "click" sound, Chen Ling struck a match and lit another cigarette.

Then he walked to the root of the wall, picked up a few kickers and placed them between two bricks. He stretched out his hand to light it with a cigarette. As a burst of green smoke rose, Chen Ling turned and walked away. There was a bang of fire behind him and he rushed to

The sky exploded.

Accompanied by the sad tune inside the hospital, cannons were fired continuously outside the hospital.

There were indeed many mourners today, and Chen Ling kept firing off cannons for most of the day.

"Fugui, it's time for dinner, let me know by firing a few more cannons..."

At this time, Wang Laishun took down the gift list and came out to inform him.

"Ah? Why don't you wait a little longer? The people mourning just now came so densely and at short intervals that the cannons fired were almost connected together. No one listened carefully. If we call for dinner at this time, everyone thought it was a mourning ceremony.

Some come and some don’t, what should I do later?”

Chen Ling said.

"You're right, then just wait a little longer and don't let it go."

Wang Laishun nodded, turned around and looked at the time: "Wait another twenty minutes, and it will be half past twelve. By then, whether or not the cannons are set off, people will come over to eat, but the food will not be hot."
