"Uncle Fugui, Uncle Fugui, look, these are the bird cubs I picked up in your orchard. Look how many there are, there are more than a dozen." Liu Nier was shirtless and wrapped a bunch of baby chicks in her clothes.

The long-haired baby bird ran to Chen Ling to ask for credit.

"I picked up so many, let's feed them to the dogs." Chen Ling hugged his son and took a look. These baby birds all fell from the trees and would not survive.

It has rained intermittently in the past few days, and the wind is not light, which has caused disaster to the birds that have made their homes in the orchards. The young birds that have just hatched in the nest cannot withstand the wind and rain. Every morning, the orchards are

A layer of grass can fall off in the middle of the grass, and you can see one within a few steps.

This is because the fruit trees in the orchard are still too small.

If it is a big tree with lush branches and thick trunks, it will definitely not be like this.

But these birds couldn't help but like the farm here. The water here, the flowers and trees here, the insects and fish here are all very tempting to them. Mountain birds and water birds swarm around and build nests and make their homes nearby. Wang Cunye shoots them with a slingshot all day long.

Even if you try to drive them away, you won't be able to drive them away.

There's no way around it.

"What a waste of food it is to feed a dog. I picked up more than Liu Nier. Uncle Fugui, you can raise it for Ruirui. When he grows up, roast it for him." The pig boy was tied with straw.

The naked baby bird came over and handed it to him.

Chen Ling couldn't laugh or cry: "Ruirui is still young and can't eat this. Besides, if your intestines are thrown out, I can't save you."

"Ah? Uncle, you can't even save him? Then forget it, let's just feed him to the dogs."

The pig boy was immediately disappointed, and then a group of pig boys went to the back of the farm to feed the dogs.

After the farm was built, these little bears often came over to play. One reason is that it is much cooler and more fun here, and the other reason is that parents know that they come here and don’t scold them. After all, there are always people here at the farm, which is better than going somewhere else where there is no one.

The place is crazy fun.

"Little aunt, have you finished writing the paper? Let's play skipping."

"Wait a minute, I only have two questions left."

Listening to the shouts of the little children, Chen Ling took her son and went to observe the section of the canal in Xilingwa.

These fish are much bigger than when they were first caught from the mountain. They are almost 20 centimeters now, but they are still too thin and don't look like they have much meat.

Chen Ling untied the barbed wire, entered the water with one hand and caught one. The fish was slippery and flopped vigorously in his hand, and it was quite vigorous.

"You have to work hard. The thin-scale babies in the cave have already multiplied, and you haven't done anything at all."

Chen Ling cooed, put down the barbed wire fence, and continued to stroll along the canal with her son in her arms.

After the rain, the water channels were clear and green, and groups of fish were swimming back and forth on the water. From time to time, birds came to drink water, causing the fish to disperse in a hurry.

Nowadays, fish are getting bigger and bigger. Except for water birds, other birds can no longer eat fish.

But this is not a big problem.

There is no shortage of food in the orchard, especially when Chen Ling pours a few buckets of spiritual water at the source of the canal every two days. After dilution, it naturally flows through the canal to all parts of the orchard, causing the weeds in the forest to grow wildly, along with those

Weavers, grasshoppers, and old poles are also very big. Even earthworms, which are usually hard to find, crawl all over the ground after the rain. They are black and long, and are pecked by various birds. Such delicacies,

The birds were reluctant to leave.

Regardless of the fact that many young birds died in the wind and rain, judging from the environment near the farm, if they reproduce, they will be much better than in other places, and they will reproduce faster.

Chen Ling still wanted to go for a walk, but her son cried "Wow!" and felt that the diaper was dry.

"Ruirui is hungry, right? Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't cry yet, let's go find your mother."

I don’t know if it was the voice that attracted his attention or something else, but when Chen Ling spoke, the little guy really stopped crying.

However, it only lasted for a short moment, and then he grinned and started crying again.

"Hey, why are you crying again? Ruirui, you are in a hurry to eat, right? OK, we will be there soon."

Chen Ling walked upstairs while talking to the little guy in his arms. Not to mention, as soon as Chen Ling spoke, his crying immediately stopped, as if he was really attracted.

A baby of more than 20 days would definitely not be able to truly understand speech, but this performance was enough to make Chen Ling happy.

"What's wrong? Are you peed or hungry?" Gao Xiulan saw him hurriedly walking upstairs.

"I'm hungry and I'm in a hurry to feed myself."

Chen Ling walked into the room with a smile and put his son into Wang Susu's arms.

At this time, the little guy immediately narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and drank a gulp. After drinking, he didn't stop for a moment and continued to sleep.

"I will carry Ruirui out for a while, and you can rest for a while."

Chen Ling smiled at his wife, then gently picked up his son and walked out.

It would be one month old in a few days, and the child could be taken out for a short walk. Wang Susu naturally knew what her husband was thinking, so she wrinkled her little nose at him and lay down on the bed to rest.

In the first few days, she always wanted to get out of bed. Recently, her son was getting older, drinking milk more and more frequently, and crying more and more, which made her feel a little exhausted physically and mentally. Now, whenever she has time, Just rest as soon as possible, otherwise if the weather gets hot again, you won't be able to muster the energy to take care of the baby.

"I just had milk, please be careful not to let Ruirui get caught in the wind and catch a cold." Gao Xiulan frowned and reminded him when she saw him holding her grandson back and forth.

"I know, Mom, the little quilt is wrapped tightly, and I won't go far." Chen Ling happily held her son in her arms. Rui Rui's soft little body exuded the faint fragrance of milk, and she sniffed it gently. One sniff, he is so beautiful as a father.

…

"Fugui, have you told your aunt about the baby at home?"

In the afternoon, Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng brought over some tables, chairs and benches, which would be used for the Full Moon Wine Festival in a few days. Several families in the village came together and brought them over and placed them in the corridor beside the lotus pond.

"As I said, the letter has been sent a long time ago." Chen Ling took them into the bamboo building. The first floor of the bamboo building in the north is used as a living room. After entering, he poured water and washed a few peaches, and the three of them sat down. say.

Regarding the matter of aunt Chen Junying, everyone who is close to the village knows that it is difficult to come back after getting married, and after Chen Ling's father died, he never came back for the New Year and the holidays.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. No matter how close the relationship is, if there is no contact, the relationship will be weak.

But as a junior, Chen Ling definitely doesn't blame his elders. When a new kid is born in the family, he definitely can't go without saying hello.

Considering that his aunt was really far away and it was difficult to walk, he sent the letter several months in advance, and sent three letters in a row.

One letter for the news that the daughter-in-law was pregnant, one letter for the daughter-in-law when she entered the hospital, and one letter for the birth of the baby.

Anyway, as juniors, we can’t let outsiders say something bad about us.

After all, my uncle is quite petty, and my aunt has no opinion on everything. If he really doesn't inform me, I don't know what to say to him.

"That's fine."

Wang Lixian nodded.

Then Wang Jusheng also asked: "Fugui, if you serve the baby full moon wine this time, there must be a lot of people calling for it."

"Yes, in addition to people from our village, there are also Brother Dahai and the others. In addition, my eldest uncle, second uncle and two other families are also coming."

Chen Ling thought for a while and said: "They are still further away from each other. When I told me, I was worried about the bad weather, so I said they would arrive early, and it would only be in the past two days."

"In that case, you need to find someone to come over and cook. It's a great joy to have a baby in your family. Don't go around the stove this time."

Speaking of this, he chuckled: "My eldest brother Jukun asked me to ask if you are short of manpower. If so, he will bring his knowledge to help you."

Two days ago, Chen Ling went to vaccinate their chickens and ducks, but they didn't charge for it. They were very upset, so they asked Wang Jusheng to ask.

"Is Xuecheng back? Okay, then I'll go to their door tomorrow and let them know, and ask Brother Jukun and his son to come with Brother Maodan."

Chen Ling knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. However, he and Wang Xuecheng have been classmates for many years. They came to help when the house was built last year and have resumed contact. However, this boy often works outside and is not often in the village.

.

As for Wang Xuecheng's father, Wang Jukun, he is Cui Laizi's brother-in-law and the eldest son of Wang Laishun's eldest brother's family. This old man and the cat egg in the southwest corner of the village are the cooks of Chen Wangzhuang. As long as there are weddings and funerals in the village, full moon wine and so on,

I will ask them to cook food.

The three of them chatted and then walked out of the farm and wandered around.

"There is still a shortage of things here. There are about three hundred chickens, ducks and geese in total. It's hard to see them in such a big place." Wang Lixian said.

"Haha, let's do this for now. I can handle it with less control. I plan to buy some sheep back later."

As he spoke, Chen Ling pointed to the fields where wheat and rapeseed had been harvested. Compared to the farms and orchards, the terrain there was slightly lower, and it was constantly undulating. It extended to the steep slopes in the distance and was now covered with lush

Weeds, even the vegetable garden are no longer visible.

"There is so much grass that it is almost going barren. The sheep at home can't finish the grass in the orchard. Buy more sheep. One sheep can be used to herd a group of sheep. It is more worry-free than chickens and ducks."

Chen Ling had this plan for a long time. Sheep are easy to manage. With dogs around, you don't have to worry about taking care of the leader sheep. It's not a big deal to raise a dozen or twenty. By the end of the year, just keep a few.

Sell ​​the rest and raise it again next year.

"That's fine, but don't you want to grow anything in your land?"

"Plant, then plant again after a while, finish this period of time first."

Chen Ling still planted sunflowers as originally planned. They are drought-tolerant and much easier to manage than corn, so they are easy to plant.

The three of them walked through this area while talking and walked up the slope. Wang Jusheng suddenly let out a sigh, pointed at the field down the slope and shouted: "Brother Xian, look, who is there with Liu Nier in your field?"

.”

Chen Ling took one look and was immediately stunned, why is this little sheep here again.

Wang Lixian's face suddenly turned cold and he strode over.

Chen Ling and the others hurriedly followed.
