Chapter 47 Building a Greenhouse
"Moo~"
The little buffalo was also attracted, stretching its head to reach the new leaves growing on the tree.
Chen Ling didn't care about it. He carried the bucket and watered the trees one after another.
After a while, the watering was completed.
All these trees were rejuvenated and flourished again.
However, the tree trunk has not grown too thick in a short period of time, and is still as thin as five fingers.
Ten years ago, the village brigade planted two kinds of trees, sycamore and ginkgo trees here. Now there are many sycamore trees and only a few ginkgo trees.
Now they are growing again, and the trees are scattered here and there. They are not as neat as before. This is also because they were bare before and were not noticeable.
"Well... now that the trees have grown, it's not impossible to plant fruit trees in the future."
In this era, as long as it is not too exaggerated, no one will delve into it.
After all, trees can grow well, so isn’t it reasonable to plant fruit trees?
Chen Ling thought to himself and stretched out his hand to shake a sycamore tree in front of him. It was now very strong and could not be shaken.
It's completely different from the previous feeling of being sick and falling down with just one push.
"Just plant fruit trees. Even if the floods come violently and a mudslide breaks out and the trees are broken down, it doesn't matter."
"As long as the roots of the tree are still there, if you water it with water from the Dongtian River, it will grow back quickly. It's simple and trouble-free..."
For a lazy person like Chen Ling, planting fruit trees is a once and for all thing when there is a cave nearby.
As long as you plant well, you will be able to harvest one crop after another every year.
Relying on the miraculous effects of the Dongtian Stream, he was confident that no matter how big the flood was, its impact on him would be extremely limited.
Maybe if you report it to the higher authorities then you can get some post-disaster subsidies.
In fact, from 1995 to 1998, floods were relatively frequent in these three years, especially in 1996, which was a flood disaster in the entire basin.
But, for the local area, the most severe one was the disaster in 1995, which affected 20 million people in the province and caused losses of up to 7 billion yuan.
Although the population casualties within the province are almost negligible, the economic losses are definitely heavy.
"There is no way to avoid natural and man-made disasters, and there is nothing I can do..."
Chen Ling sighed inwardly, and then found that the little buffalo had been behind him, following him while eating grass, very obedient.
Looking at Hei Wa and Xiao Jin, these two heartless little guys were running around in the grass next to the cemetery, playing extremely excitedly.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw that I was attacking a four-legged snake.
This four-legged snake is yellowish brown in color with several dark green stripes on its back. It is a common non-venomous four-legged snake in the area.
Usually few people go to the cemetery, firstly because of these things, and secondly because of scorpions. There are especially many of them in the cemetery in summer.
The two puppies made threatening whining sounds and kept driving it away. As soon as the four-legged snake ran away, they immediately pounced on it and held down its tail with their two small front paws.
After letting go, the four-legged snake ran away again, so another dog chased it. The four-legged snake was played back and forth, but it couldn't escape from the two puppies.
Every time he tried to escape through the gap, a dog would appear in front of him, pounce on him with his paw, and immediately trample him.
When the puppy spreads its paws, flips over on its belly, gets up and runs away, another dog attacks again.
In a short time, the four-legged snake was bruised and bruised from playing with it, and it was on the verge of death.
However, the two puppies were too playful and did not enjoy themselves to the fullest. They even scratched and nudged the four-legged snake away with their paws, trying to get the four-legged snake to start running again.
But at this time, the four-legged snake was already motionless and lifeless. It was obviously played to death.
"Woof woof..."
Hei Wa screamed twice in dissatisfaction, picked it up in one gulp, and shook his head angrily several times. The four-legged snake's body was immediately bitten into two halves.
Chen Ling thought it would eat the four-legged snake, but Heiwa actually ran up to him with Xiao Jin.
He put the four-legged snake down and squatted beside it, looking at him eagerly.
"Good guy, the toy is broken. Are you asking me for help?"
Chen Ling was amused in his heart, but he did not reprimand him. Instead, he took a small bucket of stream water from the cave sky and fed it to the two puppies.
Without Chen Ling squeaking, the two puppies had already pounced on him and drank more than half of the water, ignoring that their bellies were already bulging.
"This is a reward for you. Next time you catch prey, remember to bring it to me, okay?"
Chen Ling patted their heads. Although he understood that the two puppies did not have the consciousness to hunt and pick up prey yet, they still needed to be trained when the time came.
Afterwards, Chen Ling fed the remaining stream water from the bucket to the little buffalo, and then pushed away its tongue that was licking to please the buffalo.
"Okay, okay, now that we've eaten and drank enough, it's time for us to go home."
…
After grazing the cattle in the early morning, Chen Ling was in a good mood.
Just when I got home, I heard the sound of pots and dishes being smashed against the door.
Then came the sharp curses of the woman Qin Dongmei, which was occasionally mixed with the helpless voice of a man.
Yes, the opposite Wang Chunyuan is back.
I heard that those who came back yesterday made a fuss as soon as they came back. Qin Qiumei, the elder sister, couldn't stop it, so she went back with the village leaders.
When Chen Ling came back from the village market yesterday, he met a group of them in Kinmen Village. Even though they didn't notice him, he didn't rush up to say hello.
Now hearing that the opposite door was starting to make a fuss again, Chen Ling pouted and said silently in his heart: "Let's make a fight, let's make a fight. No matter how fierce the fight is now, no one will stop it."
Qin Dongmei, the mother-in-law, has offended all the neighboring families, and no one cares about the fight between the two couples.
When I got home, I took the cow to the backyard.
I went to the front to have breakfast. Chen Ling didn't cook much for breakfast these two days, and ate the pickles given by Wang Jusheng's family.
Not to mention, it's really delicious.
At the dinner table, Wang Susu knew that he was taking the cow for a walk outside the village, so she mentioned what to plant in the field again.
In order to reassure his daughter-in-law, Chen Ling was ready to share some of her thoughts.
Unexpectedly, by coincidence, Wang Lixian came to the house.
"We are eating Fugui."
"Hey, Brother Xian is here? Sit down quickly."
Chen Ling hurriedly got up and got a bamboo stool.
Wang Lixian waved his hand: "No, I won't sit down anymore. I just came to find you to build a greenhouse in the west of the village."
"Ah? Build a greenhouse?"
Chen Ling suddenly wondered: "What kind of greenhouse?"
"No, didn't Er Zhu find you when he came back? He is building a greenhouse, and the construction will start today."
"Let everyone who lives in our area go. It's ten yuan a day per person and we'll take care of lunch."
Wang Lixian frowned and asked a little uncertainly: "He really didn't look for you?"
Apparently he thought Chen Ling was lazy and didn't want to work.
Chen Ling shook his head after hearing this: "No, I don't know about this at all."
Seeing that there was still some hesitation on Wang Lixian's face, Wang Susu also said: "It's true that Er Zhu didn't come. After Liu Nier sent the chicken cub over yesterday afternoon, we played here for a long time, but we didn't see Er Zhu."
Wang Lixian accepted the letter and muttered: "That guy Erzhu, at first said he would build the shed as soon as possible, but he has been delaying it until now. He's worried."
"It wasn't enough to call people who were specialized in building greenhouses. When I came back, I went around looking for people and called our entire Seventh Brigade."
"I also thought that with the relationship between you and Erzhu in the county, I would definitely not miss you..."
Chen Ling shook his head again after hearing this.
"Who knows what he is thinking, he won't go unless he calls me."
In his heart, he knew that Erzhu's grandson must have been unhappy because he didn't agree to help him look after the greenhouse last time they met in the county.
If you are not happy, you are not happy.
