Chapter 166 Bad Things(1/2)
"Hey, hey, you don't dare to talk nonsense, Fugui, you can't be disrespectful to the Dragon King."
The people around were shocked when they heard Chen Ling's words.
First, she blamed him for a while, and then helped him to plead with the Dragon Prince, asking him not to be as knowledgeable as a young man like him.
Chen Ling was helpless and also bowed.
I wonder if you are exaggerating? I said before that I could eat a duck in one bite, but now I can say that I can eat a calf in one bite. It has scales, claws and horns on its head. This statement is not true.
I can't even rely on it.
But after paying homage, he saw that everyone was nervous, so he said: "Don't be afraid, everyone. In the peaceful and prosperous times, what kind of monsters can there be? It's probably some fish that are causing mischief. The snakehead fish boss in the weir pond used to be as big as
Do you want to eat ducks? One little duck takes one bite. I guess the ones in the reservoir are similar to this one."
The reservoir in the village was built in the 1950s and 1960s, and there was water here before. It was connected to the old river bend and has never dried up. It is very possible to raise some big fish.
"No, absolutely not. If it were a fish, wouldn't we recognize it? This thing is just like a monster, with a green face and fangs, and its big mouth can really eat a calf..." Chen Ze claimed to have seen it with his own eyes.
Yes, I hurriedly defended myself.
The more they talked, the more energetic and exaggerated they became. Chen Ling was no longer interested in listening to their nonsense.
This is often the case in the countryside. When seeing strange and weird things, it is easy for someone to exaggerate and make nonsense. In the end, you believe what you say, but in fact you are just scaring yourself.
I got up and dug some soil near the pond on the north side of the dam, then carried the fish back home.
In front of the house, Wang Susu was accompanying her sister to do her homework. Taking advantage of the warm and comfortable sunshine, the little daughter-in-law held a dustpan and a piece of wax to wax the cotton thread. This was a preparation before putting on the soles of the shoes.
Autumn has arrived, and it’s time to start getting cotton-padded shoes, her own, Chen Ling’s, and Wang Zhenzhen’s.
Seeing that her husband had been out for so long, he raised his head and asked casually.
Chen Ling briefly explained what happened in the reservoir today.
"Is there really a monster in the reservoir, brother-in-law? Can I go and have a look?" Wang Zhenzhen immediately couldn't sit still after hearing such a strange thing.
"There are no monsters. They are just talking nonsense. After you finish your homework, I will take you there to have a look. But when you go out to play in the future, remember not to run there. The things underwater are a bit fierce."
As noon approached, Chen Ling simply tidied up the flower pots. These were the things left by his grandparents. After his mother got married, he started to plant some beautiful flowers and plants every year. When spring came, the yard was filled with fragrance, which made him happy.
My childhood memories are all accompanied by the fragrance of flowers.
Later, only the father and son were left, and the leisure and elegance no longer existed. It has not been used for several years and has been piled in a corner gathering dust.
These flower pots are not small. They are round, square, and hexagonal. The smallest ones are 20 centimeters in diameter. They are defective products from local kilns. Anyone who buys water tanks or water urns will get them for free.
I got a few as a gift, but they still look good in appearance.
After all, we can’t keep unsightly things in our homes. Many of them are either broken or used as livestock troughs or pickle jars.
After dinner, Chen Ling took his wife and sister-in-law around the reservoir and looked at the strange things. After noon, there were still many people walking back and forth on the dam, wanting to see what the monster looked like.
What did he look like? It's a pity that he never showed his head again.
Looking back and forth along the dam, seeing the two sisters Wang Susu going to talk to the women in the village, Chen Ling went to dig some soil and go home, and began to play with his own flowers and plants.
When he brought these chrysanthemums and orchids home in the morning, he deliberately used moist soil to protect the roots. There was a large piece of soil on the roots of each flower, so there was no need to knock them off. He waited until the flower pots were covered with soil.
After that, just plant it directly in it.
Of course, the potted plants are orchids. There is no need to plant chrysanthemums in pots. Just dig two trenches and plant them on the ground. Chrysanthemums have strong vitality and are easy to live.
These chrysanthemums and orchids are purely wild flowers and plants in the mountains, and they grow wildly inside the cave. Their vitality is tenacious, and the flowers are thicker and larger, but they are not beautiful.
He has brought out three kinds of chrysanthemums and orchids.
The orchids were very good and he was very satisfied.
Chrysanthemums are different.
No matter what kind of wild chrysanthemums they are in the mountains, they all have one common characteristic, that is, the flowers are very small, the largest ones are only as big as two copper coins, and the petals are thin, usually only one or two layers.
It does not bloom in clusters and overlapping flowers like ordinary chrysanthemums. Even small daisies have multiple layers of petals.
Although wild chrysanthemums are not as good as ordinary chrysanthemums in this regard, they are not without their benefits.
Although the flowers are small, they are very delicate and suitable for planting in large areas.
In the coming year, the small bamboo forest in the center of the yard will grow densely in a circle, with golden, purple, and snow-white colors. It will be even more beautiful than ordinary chrysanthemums.
Among these three types of wild chrysanthemums, the white one is the most beautiful.
It belongs to spirea. The small white chrysanthemums are gathered into half a hydrangea shape. Although the flowers are small, they are very luxuriant.
The flowers planted in the cave have become large-scale, especially when the flowers are in bloom, the entire branches are crowded and covered with delicate flowers, forming an arched flower belt. The top and bottom of the tree are covered with snow-white, which is extremely attractive.
But chrysanthemums are just decoration and foil.
What Chen Ling pays more attention to is orchids. Although they are also wild species, in general, they have changed quite a lot during the few days they have been growing in the cave.
Each orchid is more than one level of beautiful.
And it doesn’t need to be pruned at all, just plant it in a flower pot and it will be beautiful enough.
There are three kinds of orchids: strong fragrance, delicate fragrance, and elegant. They have different floral fragrances and different appearances.
Among them, the fragrant one is the most eye-catching.
The dark green leaves, each leaf seems to be wrapped in wax, thick and textured.
The petals are golden, narrow and oval in shape, pure and flawless without any variegation.
Under the sunlight, each petal appears extremely bright golden yellow.
Although this orchid has a graceful appearance, it is not showy and looks a bit deserted.
It gives people the impression that this flower has just been baptized by the drizzle, very fresh and clean.
It is in great contrast with its rich floral fragrance.
It's stunning at first sight.
The other two are not as eye-catching. One has jade-white petals, shaped like a plum blossom, with red inside, and the other is light blue, like a butterfly. The color of the buds is very light, but after blooming, the color will gradually become thicker.
stand up.
They all have their own characteristics, and when paired with chrysanthemums, they are very pleasing to the eye.
I was busy from two to four in the afternoon. The orchids were put into pots, and the chrysanthemums were planted in the two trenches dug in front of the bamboo garden. After plowing the soil, I spread a layer of pond mud and placed them. After a little pruning, I stopped taking care of them.
.
After some time, they will grow better.
Smelling the fragrance of the flowers, Chen Ling hummed a tune happily, slipped out the fish from the kitchen, and put them away by the well.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant, so there must be no shortage of fish.
I have eaten several red eels from Dongtian. I have tried various methods of frying and steaming them. They are more delicious and nutritious than ordinary eels.
I usually eat two fish from the cave every week and mix it with fish from outside to make soup. This is how I get it.
Now the focus of Chen Ling's life is his wife. He doesn't have the same food for three meals a day. In the past, when he was bored, he might go to the county town to set up a stall or catch a big market. Now he doesn't have that thought at all.
Not only is he happy, but those who care about him and have a good relationship with him are also happy.
No, he had killed the fish and was going to get two more mountain catfish from the cave. Liang Hongyu and Qin Rongxian pushed the cart and accompanied Wang Susu and her sister into the yard.
During the National Day, the two of them went back to the capital to meet up with old friends. They stayed for a while and returned to Ling Yun yesterday morning.
This time I also brought my daughter back.
After knowing that Wang Susu was pregnant, she called her daughter without saying a word and asked her to buy something when she came over.
That guy has bought everything he needs to eat, wear, and play. Especially, he has prepared a bunch of small clothes and shoes for his children in the future, small and large, which he will probably be able to wear until he is two or three years old.
After getting to know each other, there was naturally a lot of fun and excitement, and dinner lasted until nine o'clock at night.
The daughter of the old couple is not very old, only in her early thirties, and she is a female singer.
She takes her father's surname, Qin Yueru.
She is very tall, has curly hair, and is beautiful and elegant.
The main reason is that he has a strong aura, and when he doesn't talk, he makes people feel hard to get close to him.
But as soon as he spoke or smiled, he seemed like a different person, with curved eyebrows and an extremely weak look, and his words were soft and delicate, even lower than Wang Susu's voice.
The last hut actually asked Wang Susu to stay outside and not leave, saying she was afraid of the dark.
Now Chen Ling finally knew where her daughter Xiaolizi's temper came from.
After their family, within two days, Han Chuang also came over with Jiang Xiaoqing. Inevitably, he also brought a lot of canned food and supplements.
Chen Ling was still wondering how he knew.
Turns out he said he heard it from the postman.
This postman is indeed a big talker. It was he who told the story about the Chenwangzhuang Reservoir. In the past two days, many people from nearby villages and counties came to see it.
Han Chuang heard about this and planned to come and play with Chen Ling.
Then when Chen Ling's name was mentioned, he learned from the postman that Chen Ling's wife was pregnant.
