My 1995 Small Farm - #715 - Vol 3 Chapter 704: They're all called farms
“It’s Comrade Chen Ling, right? We’re from CCTV. You’ve become famous here recently. It’s on the news every day.”
CCTV came this time to several people, including men and women, a group of six people. The leader was a man wearing glasses. He looked a bit like Wang Gang who played He Shen, but he was slightly taller and more upright.
Looking at the appearance alone, coupled with this enthusiastic and smiling face, it is still easy for people to get close to him.
At this time, seeing Chen Ling’s true appearance, there was still a bit of surprise in his eyes: “Little brother, you are so young. You don’t look like a native of the mountains.”
Chen Ling smiled: “I’m lucky and haven’t suffered much.”
Behind him, Yu Qian quickly interjected: “They also support people here. Many famous people have come to settle in the village. The great writer Professor Zhao, the great painter Professor Zhong, and the king of sketches in the Spring Festival Gala before, Chen Xiaoer… Even the little Japanese want to come here. live.”
Yu Qi’an interrupted for no other reason than to bring Chen Xiaoer out on purpose.
The man was slightly stunned at first, and then quickly echoed Yu Qian’s words: “Huh? I heard, I heard, you have outstanding people here, not only raising people, but also producing some legendary creatures.”
At that moment, Chen Ling noticed that the man’s face looked unnatural when he heard Chen Xiaoer’s name.
“We have always been longing for you. Recently, we took advantage of our work commitments and finally had the opportunity to come over. However, your place is too remote and difficult to walk. I rushed here from the city early in the morning, and it was already dark when we arrived. Fortunately, after meeting you, Brother Chen Ling, our visit was not in vain…”
This man is very good at praising others openly and secretly. If Chen Ling was a young man who was not familiar with the world, he would have been confused by his two words of praise.
It was even more embarrassing to let them stand outside the door, so we invited them directly into the house.
At this time, it was dinner time and it was getting dark, so it was natural to stay overnight and eat.
He didn’t know that Chen Ling had been immune to this trick for a long time, and he didn’t want to talk nonsense to him. He kept talking to himself: “I heard that the dog you raised is smarter than the one in the cartoon. Are they those two big dogs at the back?
Oops, the tiger is out too.
Didn’t you say two little tigers?
Why is it so big? “
He saw that Chen Ling didn’t react much and wanted to use the dog and tiger to get into the house.
It’s not that he is too thoughtful or thick-skinned than ordinary people, it’s mainly because he has been traveling all day and hasn’t eaten anything good, so he is already tired and hungry.
Now that I can smell the strong smell of meat wafting from the farm, I can’t help but feel a little anxious.
My stomach is almost growling.
But Chen Ling was very dishonest and refused to listen to what he said. Just then, Wang Zhenzhen ran out with Ruirui and shouted: “Brother-in-law, when will dinner be served? I’m almost starving to death. I’m starving to death!”
She really wanted to eat the chicken at home for more than a day or two, but she was reluctant to eat it before, not only for others, but also for herself.
●When I came back today, I found that there was chicken stewed in the pot. I couldn’t wait any longer.
”Okay, okay, if you’re hungry, hurry up and get some food. I’m going to the village to find Sister Dujuan. You go and eat first.”
Chen Ling smiled and tugged on the little girl’s braid, and then looked at Rui Rui, who was staring at Yu Qian, angrily.
Hahahahaha, it doesn’t matter if Yu Qian can eat the pig intestines that he has been craving for today.
He nodded to the CCTV people, went to the livestock pen to take out the little green horse, mounted the horse and called Du Juan and his family to come for dinner.
There was not a single word about wanting to stay as a guest during the whole process.
These people looked at each other and stared at each other with embarrassment on their faces.
…Meanwhile, those from Bay Island and Hong Kong Island were also having a hard time.
I was deceived the first time I came to the country.
Although they were accompanied by people from the province, since they seldom came to the inland, especially the countryside where they had almost never been, they were somewhat curious about everything.
Moreover, the mainland is now lagging behind, and they are somewhat arrogant and look down upon in their hearts.
I came here to play, but my attitude was that I was aloof, just like the emperor paying a private visit incognito or playing in the human world.
There will still be many such people in future generations.
Let’s not talk about this era.
So along the way, I was a little unscrupulous. When I saw something strange somewhere, I would stop as soon as I asked and get out of the car to take a look.
Actually, those things are not that rare even if they are said to be rare. Most of them are just ordinary wild beasts, but they have never seen them before.
In addition to mountain products, there are also local products, such as some farm tools and machinery, as well as market and specialty delicacies, which make them feel fresh and make them want to see more about everything.
As everyone knows, this makes them look like ignorant country bumpkins.
And it took two days, and we didn’t even get halfway through the journey.
That’s it, the younger ones among the two groups keep complaining, saying that the road is so long and difficult to walk, and when will we get there.
These young comrades who were sent by the province to guide us all cursed in their hearts. With your small place, you still dare to say that we have a long way to go and are a bunch of frogs in the well. Bah, bah, bah, grandpa doesn’t want to serve you.
Not long after, the convoy encountered an orchard with a sign in front.
The weather has been warm this winter, and the fruit trees in the orchard have not yet lost all their leaves. To be precise, only a small half of them have fallen, and most of them are still on the trees. They still look a bit lush. If there hadn’t been a biting cold, Wind, the old leaves on this tree will probably last a while longer.
These people saw the orchard and thought there was fruit to eat.
As I walked closer, I saw the words ‘Lengshui Farm’ written on the sign outside the orchard.
This cold water is a place not far from Shixiaizigou. The water is clear. They are also a good place with beautiful mountains and clear water. There are many fruit trees on the mountain, but the fruit trees are ordinary, not too surprising. At the foot of the mountain, there are mostly wild persimmons and wild walnuts. Just chestnut.
These types of things cannot be sold locally.
Many people can’t even finish eating all the food they have in their homes, even if they attract rats.
How could these outsiders know the mystery here? As soon as they saw the word farm, they thought it was a good place, so they hurriedly called everyone out of the car and went to the orchard to ask questions.
The orchard owner boasted and successfully sold two large bags of persimmons and one large bag of chestnuts.
Then the group of them made a strange discovery. On this road, there are many orchards guarding the mountains and forests, or small villages close to the river, all with signs outside, and without exception, they are all called farms.
They don’t care what’s on the farm, or they don’t even know what a farm is.
It is necessary to hang this sign.
I just want to call it a farm.
There are even some who don’t even have their own names, so they just call them ‘Fugui Farm’.
I don’t know where I heard it from.
I didn’t know at all that the farm of Chen Ling’s family was called ‘Fugui Villa’, and I didn’t even understand it when I copied it.
But just like that, these people were fooled.
We did all kinds of shopping along the way, but before we even got to Chenwangzhuang, the car was so piled with messy things that there was almost no room for anyone to sit on it.
This made the young comrades who accompanied him from the province feel terrible.
I scolded those who followed the trend and imitated the farm brand.
Soon, something worse happened.
The tire was punctured.
It is normal for the tires to get punctured when walking on such a mountain road.
But if the convoy was hit at the same time, it would definitely be abnormal.
Then, it was not only dark, but also light raindrops were falling in the night sky. Because the tire was broken, they were in a hurry to find a place to spend the night, and they lost their way again in a panic.
Not only did this incident make people collapse, it also made the old people from the Bay Island think of what the two little Japanese said before leaving, thinking that they had angered the spirits and spirits in the mountains, and they all raised their hands in panic Put your hands together and chant some words of worship from all directions.
In fact, many people who work in transportation know this.
There is no shortage of immoral people scattering nails on the road anywhere.
As long as you bump into it, it means there is a car repair or accommodation not far away.
But encountering this kind of situation in the wilderness or on a remote mountain road is a bit scary.
In fact it is.
In the second half of this year, the number of roadblocks and robberies suddenly increased.
Often in small villages, men, women, old and young go together to commit crimes in gangs.
Those who were dragged to Chenwangzhuang to sell wild fruits suffered greatly.
The nail scatterers are also of this type, and they work together from a nearby village.
In the past, there were few such villages.
Even if there are, there are most of them on the mountain road to Wangba City.
I don’t know who spread the news this year, saying that Chenwangzhuang has a great reputation, and there will definitely be many rich people running there by the end of the year.
No, along the way, all the orchards, small villages, and restaurants were renamed farms.
This nail-scattering village is because there is no decent livelihood in the village, so it wants to do something worse, and whoever comes here will break down their car first.
At that time, they will be able to handle it easily and the money they can extort will be even more.
This business without capital is much faster than making money by following Chen Fugui’s example of opening a farm.
So these people from Hong Kong and Bay Islands encountered a series of psychological shocks when they returned to the mainland for the first time.
This rainy night, they didn’t encounter any monsters.
Encountered a group of people with their faces covered, lighting torches, and looking like dancing masters, and robbed me.
Finally survived the robbery. After dawn, I found a guide to lead the way. Unexpectedly, I met another liar…
It can be said that all bad luck happened together.
Fortunately, the rain was not heavy. The light rain that fell at night stopped in the morning and did not disrupt Chen Ling’s plan.
After having dinner early in the morning, he drove out the tractor and prepared to go to Wangba City to bring back some building materials.
The earthen greenhouse is relatively simple.
Long bamboo poles and the like are not in short supply locally.
Those covered with thatch are also easy to find.
Going to Wangba City mainly buys plastic sheets, and some things such as thin steel wire ropes and iron wires.
The things there are relatively complete.
Going there, you can buy everything, and you don’t have to run around to buy bridles in the east market and saddle whips in the west market.
“Afu and Shou, come with me to go out and play. Come on, come here and get on the tractor. Damn it, what’s wrong with getting wet? You’ve got a lot to do.”
Obviously, Ah Shou is being pretentious again.
Chen Ling grabbed its ears again and dragged it onto the back of the tractor.
A Shou has been very naughty recently and is not very well-behaved. He has the nature of a child and Chen Ling does not want to leave him at home. (End of chapter)
