afternoon.

When it was almost two o'clock, Chen Ling planted the saplings.

He put down his hoe, patted the dust on his hands, and was about to urinate. The little white cow that was grazing aside suddenly ran over and hid behind him with a "moo" sound, staring at the cemetery with a pair of black eyes.

direction, with tension and fear.

"You are so brave. You are just like a girl. You can be so scared in broad daylight."

When Chen Ling saw it like this, he couldn't help but smile. He reached out and touched its head and looked over there.

I saw the bushes in the cemetery swaying gently, and a gray figure flashed among them. Chen Ling didn't see it clearly, but he felt that it was about the same size as a native dog.

"What the hell is this?"

Chen Ling frowned, stood on tiptoe and looked around. In the blink of an eye, he was nowhere to be seen.

When I was confused, I walked into the cemetery and looked around, but couldn't find it.

I don’t know where that thing was hiding, it slipped away really fast.

But when walking outside, Chen Ling found a big hole next to a grave. There was a little gray hair near the hole, with a rough texture.

Chen Ling pinched two hairs and looked at them. He couldn't identify the hairs on any living thing.

But if it can scare a little white cow, it will definitely not be a rabbit.

"Forget it, forget it for now, go home and have dinner."

Chen Ling suppressed his doubts in his heart, walked out of the cemetery, hitched the ox cart, and hurried home.

Halfway through, I met Wang Laishun, who was trimming rapeseed seedlings in the field.

His rapeseed was planted late this year, and the land was redistributed, so there was less management.

No, after a few rains, the rapeseed seedlings became so dense that they grew into lumps. Each one was still very thin, so they had to be thinned out in the field.

When he saw Chen Ling driving an ox cart, he stopped him and gave him two large bundles before letting him go.

This made Chen Ling feel helpless.

I couldn’t finish the food I had at home, and even stuffed it into my car.

Forget it, just treat it as fresh.

When used for stir-frying, rapeseed sprouts are almost the same as young cabbage, and the taste is pretty good.

Chen Ling often ate it when he was a child.

When I was in college in my previous life, I learned a skill from my classmates in the north. I used rapeseed sprouts to make salty food, and paired it with minced garlic and vinegar. It was even more delicious than stir-fried vegetables.

Chen Ling fell in love with it after eating it once.

"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten salty food for a long time. I have to make a meal to try when I get back."

He thought so in his heart.

When I got home, the floor clock in the house dinged, exactly two o'clock.

Wang Susu was spinning in the yard. Seeing him coming back so late, she asked about the saplings. After learning that he had taken the saplings to the field to plant them alone, she looked at him steadily for a while, as if she didn't expect him to be so

Great energy.

Then he sighed melancholy:

"Aling, after planting the saplings, let's stop for a while, okay?"

When she said this, Wang Susu's tone was a bit pleading.

It seemed like I was back to the time when I was facing Chen Ling.

It is true that in the past two months, Chen Ling has changed a lot in some aspects. For example, his temper has improved, he no longer attacks her casually, and he is more gentle and considerate to him. This is what she wants to see.

But in some aspects, it is no different from before. For example, I am still lazy at heart, love to enjoy, eat and drink, and I still spend money lavishly, which is no different from before.

But it just changed from spending money to hang out in the county town to spending money to buy some other things.

Buying a plow, buying a cow, buying fruit saplings is not a small amount of money...

Although she has no objection, it will take at least two years for the fruit trees to bear fruit after they are planted. It is still unknown whether they can be sold for money and whether the sales will be good or not.

There is no source of income. If you continue to spend money like this, your family will be wiped out in a few days.

Therefore, she had been quite worried recently, but she was afraid of Chen Ling being angry if she brought it up rashly, so she endured it until now and finally couldn't help but ask.

Chen Ling was slightly startled after hearing this, but then he understood and nodded: "Okay, let's stop after we finish planting."

He knew why Wang Susu suddenly said this.

In order not to make Wang Susu suspicious, he had taken the money for buying fruit saplings from home, and paid a deposit for selling medicinal materials.

The family's money was suddenly reduced by almost half.

With Wang Susu's temperament, even if she suppresses it in her heart, she will definitely worry about this.

This is human nature.

However, he cannot tell Wang Susu about his current source of income yet. He can only let her accept it slowly in the future when the store in the county town opens.

Naturally, I agreed directly.

Seeing that he agreed, Wang Susu breathed a small sigh of relief, looked at him cautiously, and saw that there was no sign of bad looks on his face, she stood up and said:

"Aling, go and wash your hands. The rice has been heating on the stove. I'll bring it over."

Only then did Chen Ling remember that he had not eaten lunch.

I quickly said "Hello" and went to wash my hands and change clothes.

After dinner, Chen Ling bathed in the warm spring sunshine, smelled the fragrance of the vegetation in the breeze, and read a book in the yard.

Perhaps it was too comfortable, and after a while, I fell asleep in the yard.

Wang Susu was spinning thread on the side, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile softly.

I couldn't help but sigh again in my heart, although Aling was getting better and better towards her, the laziness in his bones could not be worn away no matter what.

But it's not all bad to be delicious and lazy to cook. At least she didn't know before that once Chen Ling started cooking, it would be so delicious.

When Chen Ling fell asleep, he didn't know that Wang Susu would regard some of his characteristics from later generations as those of Chen Ling in the past.

It is true that the daily style of people who come from an era of abundant material resources makes people of this era seem to be no different from those who are lazy and lazy.

People of later generations will never compromise themselves in terms of food and drink, and they can come up with new ways to eat even if they don’t have money.

If not, the changes in him during this period would not be intuitively felt by outsiders, and Wang Susu might become suspicious.

Before I knew it, the day passed like this.

…

The first day of the fourth lunar month is Sunday.

Chen Ling and his wife had planted all 1,200 fruit saplings two days ago.

Chen Ling then used the pretext of preventing pests and diseases to carry a sprayer on his back and spray the diluted Dongtian Creek water back and forth in the field twice.

Within a short time, these fruit saplings sprouted young buds.

Seeing this, Chen Ling stopped caring and drove an ox cart to the county seat early that morning.

Go deliver peanuts to the oil shop owner we made an appointment with last week.

After arriving at the county seat, not only did he receive two thousand catties as a gift, but Liu Xingeng also gave two thousand catties as a gift.

After sending it back and forth eight times, I got more than 4,000 yuan.

It was just after noon, and Chen Ling found a nearby restaurant and had a meal.

After filling his stomach, he was about to return to the newly rented yard in the south of the city when a loud voice came from beside him.

"Lingzi!"

Turning around, I saw a tall, strong young man running over from a street stall holding a bowl of sea food.

This guy was slurping the braised noodles in the bowl as he ran. He ran a dozen steps closer, but surprisingly he didn't spill a drop of soup.

"I haven't seen you in two months. Where have you been?"

This man's name is Han Chuang. He is a tall, dark and strong man about 1.9 meters tall. He is a frequent visitor to arcade rooms and billiard halls. He is very familiar with Chen Ling from before.

"Why, what, why did you catch up with the bullock cart? I didn't even dare to recognize it at first glance..."

Han Chuang has a problem. He stutters when he speaks in a hurry.

"Long time no see, Chuangzi, I came to the city to do something."

Chen Ling patted his thick arm and asked with a smile: "What are you doing here?"

"Hey, come over and watch the tape for a while."

Han Chuang winked at him and smiled like a man.

As he spoke, all the noodles in the bowl were eaten, so he wiped the corners of his mouth twice and placed the bowl on the long table of the stall.

"I'll go to the Cultural Palace later. I recently learned a big move. Let's practice..."

The Workers' Cultural Palace in the south of the city is mainly a theater.

But on the outside floor, there are also arcade machines, billiards halls, etc.

As a popular arcade game in recent years, it is the first choice for entertainment among primary school students and young men.

Because you can hold ten game coins for one dollar and play for a long time, this thing quickly became popular. In the past, Chen Ling was so obsessed with this thing that he would not stop playing until dark.

"Let's give it another day. I have something to do today, so I won't play. But I also want to go to the south of the city, and I can take you there on the way."

Chen Ling waved his cattle whip and said.

After being baptized by the online games of later generations, Chen Ling has no interest in current arcade machines.

If you have nothing to do, it would be fine to reminisce about the past.
