Chapter 35 The Mouse

Walking into the yard, Wang Jusheng's daughter-in-law Zhang Qiaoling was looking around nervously with a flashlight.

Wang Jusheng saw this and hurriedly walked over: "What's up Qiaoling, where was the movement just now?"

"I'm not sure. It sounds like it's coming from the house to the west."

Zhang Qiaoling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wang Jusheng coming back. Then she saw Chen Ling following her man, so she smiled and said hello.

"Wealth is coming."

Chen Ling nodded and called Qiaoling sister-in-law.

"Give me the flashlight. Fugui and I will take a look at what's going on. Don't let anything get into the house."

Wang Jusheng took the flashlight and pushed open the door of the west room with Chen Ling.

As a result, before they even entered, they heard a "plop" inside, and Wang Jusheng swung his flashlight over immediately, only to see a huge rat swipe past their feet at an alarming speed.

Zhang Qiaoling was far away and could only see a black shadow coming out of the house. She was so frightened that she screamed and hid aside.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a mouse!"

Wang Jusheng said in a deep voice.

Then he said doubtfully: "It's strange, my family and Ada's family both have cats, and there are no mice in the house."

Cats in rural areas are basically good at catching mice, because in this era, there is little leftover food at home, and if they don’t catch mice, they will go hungry.

Of course I also caught some birds, grasshoppers, crickets and four-legged snakes.

There is no way, the ability to hunt comes from hunger.

"Haha, I guess mice are going to be born in spring. It's normal to take risks and come out to find food."

"Brother Jusheng, let's go into the house and take a look. Listening to the noise just now, there can't be only one mouse in the house."

Chen Ling reminded.

In fact, not only was it because of the noise just now, but his eyesight and ears were now much stronger than ordinary people, and he could detect the rustling sounds of mice in the darkness of the house.

"I think so."

Wang Jusheng nodded, used a flashlight to find the location of the light cord, and pulled the light away.

The moment the light came on, I saw a dozen big gray rats lying on a large vat in the corner of the room, holding peanuts in their mouths and climbing up to the beams along the wires in the room.

On the other end of the beam is a hole for electric wires, and half of a mouse's head pokes out of the hole, looking around.

These mice were more courageous than the one just now. They didn't rush to run when the light was turned on, and carried peanuts to the beams calmly.

When Wang Jusheng saw it, he was furious.

"Damn it, you dare to ruin my peanuts!"

He picked up a broom behind the door and swung it over, but the mice were so slippery that they fled in all directions, and Wang Jusheng couldn't hit any of them.

"Brother Jusheng, sister-in-law, don't put the peanuts here next time, just put them in the room where you sleep."

At this time, Zhang Qiaoling also came in, and Chen Ling reminded the two of them.

He knew in his heart that Peanut must have brought the rat.

After all, the peanuts he gave Wang Jusheng were watered by the Dongtian Stream, so their attraction to animals was definitely indisputable.

"It's all my fault that I didn't pay attention before."

"I just put the peanuts into the jar and put the weight on it. I thought that if there is a cat in the house, the mice won't be able to get in."

"Even if there were rats, I was still holding down two big weights. I didn't expect these rats to be really fucking thieves. They even knocked down such heavy weights."

Wang Jusheng shook his head and picked up the two large weights that had fallen on the ground.

Apparently, the noise Chen Ling and the others heard when they came in was the rat dropping the weight on the ground.

"It's a pity that you gave me the peanuts Fugui."

Wang Jusheng said with a pained expression.

After helping Chen Ling work in the fields for the past few days, Chen Ling asked him to bring back a lot of peanuts, which he thought he could eat for a while.

As a result, I didn’t want to think about it now.

"It's okay, it's just some peanuts. I still have some over there after eating."

Chen Ling walked over and looked into the tank.

As expected, the rats caused a lot of damage. They not only ate them secretly and carried them to their nests, but also had to poop and urinate. The peanuts smelled bad, and it was obvious that they couldn't eat them.

"Oh, that's not what I meant..."

"I mean, these peanuts are a rare good thing. They were harmed by rats before they were eaten by humans, which makes me feel distressed and angry."

Wang Jusheng gritted his teeth and said.

"If that doesn't work, please put two mousetraps under this house."

Wang Qiaoling also feels sorry for these peanuts. After all, they have a good effect on breastfeeding.

"Get off! Get off after dinner!"

"If you use two more clamps, I will crush these stupid and harmful things!"

Wang Jusheng said something bitterly.

Then he turned around and said to his mother-in-law: "Wealthy has come to the house, let's not worry about these trivial matters for now."

"Hurry up and prepare the food. Let Fugui show you his skills and let you see if I have fooled you."

When Zhang Qiaoling heard this, she glanced at Chen Ling and said with a smile: "Fugui, don't listen to your nonsense from Brother Jusheng. I was just joking with him."

"You finally came home, how can I ask you to cook? It's too outrageous!"

In fact, Zhang Qiaoling was just talking out of anger before.

When I saw Wang Jusheng eating at Chen Ling's house every day and never going home to eat, I couldn't help but complain.

Just say that the food at a wealthy family is really that delicious? It makes you wish you could eat at their home three times a day?

In the end, Wang Jusheng said that it is really that delicious. If you don’t believe it, I will ask Fugui to cook a meal for you another day. You will be convinced after eating it once.

Zhang Qiaoling was unforgiving and said, "Why don't you scream?"

As a result, I was actually called today.

It made her feel a little embarrassed and made her seem greedy.

"No, there's nothing outrageous about it. I've already summoned Fugui, so I have to show off my skills."

"I have to convince you today."

Wang Jusheng said firmly.

These words made Zhang Qiaoling feel a little hot on her face, and she thought to herself that this idiot was still showing off in front of outsiders.

"Fugui, I'm kidding you. This is the temper of our Jusheng family."

Chen Ling waved his hands with a smile: "What's the point? I just appreciate Brother Jusheng's temper, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get along with him!"

Wang Jusheng burst out laughing when he heard this.

"Look, look, this is what this man said, your mother-in-law knows nothing about eggs!"

"Hurry up and turn on the lights in the yard. Rich people like to cook in the yard."

In fact, it was purely because he wanted to show off, because he knew that Chen Ling's cooking was very fragrant and the aroma could spread far away.

So I wanted Chen Ling to do it in his yard so that the neighbors would smell it and become jealous.

The yard of Wang Jusheng's house is long, long in the north-south direction and short in the east-west direction. There are many trees planted and there are water tanks one by one. The big ones are more than one meter high and the small ones are only about one foot. They are placed side by side.

Together.

Wang Jusheng's stove is made of a small water tank, filled with red mud and dug for ventilation. The charcoal and wood can be burned inside, making it very convenient for cooking.

Zhang Qiaoling had prepared all the ingredients in advance, and Chen Ling cooked the food without much effort.

Since there were many trees in the yard, it was not that bright after turning on the electric light, so Chen Ling secretly added some water from Dongtian Creek without anyone seeing it.

Put four dishes and one soup on the table, and the aroma suddenly wafted out.

Only then did Zhang Qiaoling suddenly understand the reason why her husband went to Chen Ling's house every three days to have dinner.

It smells so good! It smells so good!

When Wang Jusheng saw that his mother-in-law was swallowing her saliva quietly, she immediately smiled and said: "How are you, wife? I'm not fooling you, right?"
