Chapter 21 Neighborhoods(1/2)
When I got home, what a coincidence, the grandfather clock in the house was ringing.
Exactly eight o'clock.
At this time, Wang Susu was packing several large bamboo plaques in the yard, which contained some dried sweet potatoes and some common herbs.
Taking advantage of the nice weather today, take it out to dry.
And indeed.
In February, the temperature changes day by day.
In the mountains, except for the morning and night, when the temperature is a bit cooler, the weather is relatively good at other times.
Just like today's weather, the spring breeze is getting warmer, the sky is cloudless, and it already has a bit of the flavor of early spring.
After a few days, the vegetation will be new, and the soft spring breeze will blow, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants. When you smell it, it is simply refreshing.
You can also put a deck chair under the warm sunshine, lie on it and bask in the sun, which is a very comfortable place.
"We have finished eating the white noodles at home."
"I originally wanted to make steamed cornmeal, but a rat got into the cornmeal vat and made it difficult to eat."
"Let's cook sweet potato porridge in the morning."
Wang Susu raised her head and smiled at Chen Ling, and said while packing up the bamboo plaque.
"Anything is fine."
"When I go to the county seat, I will buy a few bags of flour from the flour mill."
Chen Ling responded and said.
Then he walked to Wang Susu, pinched two pieces of dried sweet potato, put them in his mouth and started chewing them.
It's hard and a bit hard to chew.
But after chewing it, it tastes a little sweet.
Not only is it sweet, but it's also a bit rustic, which is because it's been stored for a long time.
Chen Ling smacked his lips, but he hadn't eaten this stuff in a few years.
He often drank dried sweet potato porridge when he was a child in his previous life. At that time, his family was poor and he was very hungry after drinking this stuff.
This thing is made by cutting sweet potatoes and white potatoes into slices and drying them.
In the past, there was not enough food in rural areas, and people had to do hard work.
Just when the porridge is cooking, put some dried sweet potatoes in it.
If you are full after drinking porridge, you are pretending to be full. After peeing twice, it will be gone and you will not be able to resist hunger.
So I used this thing to fill my stomach.
"I'm going to see if the pot is boiling."
Chen Ling pinched another piece of dried sweet potato and put it in his mouth, then turned and walked towards the house.
This morning he went to the fields and Wang Susu cooked breakfast on the iron stove.
The porridge is cooked with water from the well in the yard.
So Chen Ling was going to put some Dongtian Creek water into the porridge.
After many experiments in the past few days, he has come to a conclusion.
You can only drink a bowl and a half of water from the stream in Dongtian every day. Any more will have no effect.
Calculated according to the bowls in rural areas, this bowl and a half is approximately close to two liters.
Within two liters, it is effective for the human body.
The average person would definitely not be able to drink two liters of porridge with each meal.
But in order for Wang Susu to enjoy the benefits, Chen Ling cooked almost every meal with Dongtian creek water and Dongtian vegetables.
In just a few days, Wang Susu's face became radiant, her skin was white and rosy, and she exuded amazing charm with every smile.
Sometimes a casual glance would make Chen Ling's heart beat faster.
"Huh?"
"Hei Wa, Xiao Jin, where did you two brats go?"
Chen Ling licked two bowls of stream water into the porridge and planned to take this time to feed Heiwa and Xiaojin some goat milk.
As a result, I searched around the house and looked in the kennel, but no trace of these two little things was found.
"Susu, have you seen Hei Wa and Xiao Jin..."
Chen Ling walked to the yard and asked.
Wang Susu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, "Aren't you in the kennel?"
"No ah!"
Chen Ling frowned.
"Hei Wa, Xiao Jin..."
I shouted twice more, but still no movement.
"I didn't see him when I woke up. I thought he was sleeping in the doghouse."
Wang Susu also found it quite strange.
Then he thought for a while and suddenly said: "It's not like I ran out with you when you went out."
"possible."
Chen Ling thought about it for a moment. Although he didn't notice the two little guys going out, they were nowhere to be found in the house or yard.
It was really possible to run out after him, but she was still too young and couldn't keep up with his footsteps, so she could easily get lost.
He said, "I'll go out and look for it."
Unexpectedly, the next second after he said these words, he was raising his feet and preparing to walk out.
As a result, I heard the wail of a puppy outside, followed by a woman's scolding and abuse.
"It's Hei Wa and Xiao Jin!"
When Wang Susu heard this, she ran out anxiously.
Chen Ling also hurriedly followed.
After leaving the courtyard, I saw a woman wearing a burgundy turtleneck sweater opposite the door, kicking Hei Wa and Xiao Jin out of the courtyard door one after another.
He used a lot of force and was able to kick the two puppies two meters away each time, causing Heiwa and Xiaojin to roll on the ground and howl.
"Dongmei, stop quickly, this is my puppy."
Wang Susu was very anxious when she saw this and hurriedly stopped her.
Unexpectedly, the woman opposite acted as if she didn't hear anything and kicked the two puppies out of the door.
The two puppies immediately let out a very miserable howl.
"Qin Dongmei! What are you doing!"
Wang Susu's face turned red with anger, "I told you this is my puppy, didn't you hear?"
"What's wrong with your dog? Your dog can't go to other people's houses and chase their chickens, right?"
Qin Dongmei raised her eyebrows, folded her arms in front of her chest, and sneered.
"Two dirty bitches, they went into someone else's chicken coop early in the morning. It's a good idea if you don't beat them to death."
Qin Dongmei has slender eyebrows and slender eyes. She is not even as pretty as her sister Qin Qiumei. She has a sneer on her face and looks very mean and mean.
"Whose chicken would be afraid of such a small puppy?"
Wang Susu was so angry that her body trembled.
"You clearly knew it was our dog, and you did it on purpose."
"I did it on purpose, what happened?"
Qin Dongmei pinched her waist, snorted and sneered:
"You'd better keep an eye on these two dirty bitches and don't come into my house again, or they'll be kicked into the pit and drowned."
"You, you are unreasonable..."
How could Wang Susu be such a shrew? Her pretty face turned red and tears appeared in her eyes.
"Kick a manhole and drown?"
"You can try it now. I want to see which one comes first, the dog or you."
At this time, Chen Ling said coldly and quietly.
His expression turned cold from the moment Qin Dongmei kicked Heiwa and Xiaojin out of the courtyard door one after another.
