Chapter 22 Re-entering the city

Qin Dongmei's chest felt tight at Chen Ling's last words, but seeing Chen Ling's fierce side, she didn't dare to say any more for fear of irritating him.

However, the hatred in his eyes became even stronger. He spat fiercely at the opposite door, stood up and patted the dust on his body.

Then just as he was about to go home, his sister Qin Qiumei walked out.

"What's wrong, Dongmei, who are you arguing with outside so early in the morning?"

It's just that today the little woman is not as fashionably dressed as she was two days ago. She is wrapped in a thick cotton coat and her face doesn't look too good.

His steps were also a bit shaky, as if he was about to fall over when the wind blew.

"Hmph, who else could it be? That prodigal son across from me!"

Qin Dongmei's face was ugly, and she was secretly glad that her sister had not seen what happened just now, otherwise she would have been better looking than her since she was a child, she would be more favored than her, and she would have more status than her when she grows up.

She had a low self-esteem in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have been showing off her teeth all day long. If she were to see her making a fool of herself again, she would be completely embarrassed.

"This son of a bitch has become braver today. He dares to scold me, and he dares not to take our Chun Yuan seriously to see what he can do."

"A prodigal son who is so stupid and has shit in his head will cry when the ground stops growing food!"

Qin Dongmei kept cursing.

Speaking of "dung", I remembered that Chen Ling was almost pushed into the pit just now, and my stomach suddenly turned upside down. The more I thought about it, the more angry and resentful I became.

"What happened? He made trouble with you?"

Qin Qiumei frowned and asked.

She understands her sister's character. She has been very aggressive since she was a child and has suffered a lot. After marrying a good husband, her temper has become even worse.

She looks bad every day, and few people in Chen Wangzhuang dare to mess with her.

But usually no one wants to associate with her.

"It's nothing, just leave it alone and go back to the house to take a nap. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Qin Dongmei patted the dust on her hands and glanced at her sister, "Look at your weak body. You haven't been out for a while, but your lips are dry and white. Go back to the house quickly. It's best not to see the wind in these two days.

"

"Um."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Qiumei didn't ask further.

He just frowned and glanced at the opposite door one more time before turning around and walking into the house with his sister.



On the other side, Wang Susu and Chen Ling were a little worried after returning home.

"Aling, if you make trouble with Dongmei like this, she won't hold a grudge against us, right?"

"Her sister is the director of the township family planning office, and Chun Yuan is at the township health center, so she has a wide network of contacts..."

"If you give us a little stumbling block in the future, we will suffer."

"Er Zhu was arrested for hooliganism before. Wasn't it because he was tricked in secret?"

Chen Ling smiled with relief after hearing this: "It's okay, such a trivial matter, how can it matter..."

"Besides, Erzhu started fighting with someone and beat her badly. I didn't hit her now."

"Although I see her bullying you, I really want to give her two big mouths."

When Wang Susu heard what he said, she didn't think anything at first, but after hearing Chen Ling's last words.

A warmth arose in my heart, and the corners of my mouth curved slightly.

She almost cried in anger just now.

However, Chen Ling's performance this time made her feel scared even though she was scared at first, but after thinking about it, she felt very at ease.

This was the first time that she was protected like this by her own man.

Although she felt a little sweet in her heart, she said seriously: "Don't, if you get caught, it's not a joke."

I have never seen a man as stupid as Chen Erzhu. He was also arrested for a few years, and his wife no longer followed him.

Wang Susu is quite afraid of this.

"I know, I don't know her like a shrew."

"The porridge is ready, let's eat."

Chen Ling smiled, walked over and took the pot off the stove.

In this era, Liumangzui is still here, and although it is not as vicious as it was in the past ten years or so, it is not something that ordinary people can endure.

But it was abolished in 1997. He just needs to be more cautious and not step on that line.

"Eh? Today's sweet potato porridge is particularly fragrant!"

At the dinner table, Wang Susu took a bite of the porridge and couldn't help but praise it.

"Is it fragrant? I guess it has been boiled for long enough and the sweetness in the dried sweet potatoes has come out."

Chen Ling responded without raising his head.

He is feeding goat milk to Hei Wa and Xiao Jin.

Originally, this job was supposed to be done by Wang Susu, to cultivate the relationship between her and the two puppies.

Unexpectedly, something like this happened in the morning. Hei Wa and Xiao Jin were frightened and did not want to let outsiders contact them except Chen Ling.

So he had to go into battle in person.

After feeding Heiwa and Xiaojin, Chen Ling went to get two more bowls of cornmeal.

If rats are introduced into the cornmeal, humans cannot eat it, but they can be fed to chickens.

Just mix it with bran, chop the peanut vine leaves from Dongtian pile with a hatchet, mix them together, and pour them into the stone trough next to the chicken coop.

The peanut vines and leaves watered by the Dongtian Stream are indeed very attractive, causing the big rooster and several hens to fight for them.

Fortunately, Chen Ling fed him a lot, otherwise he would have had to fight.

After finishing this work, I had breakfast.

Chen Ling hitched the donkey cart from the backyard and drove towards the county town.

After leaving the village, we passed the reservoir dam.

As usual, Chen Ling found a remote place and piled peanuts all over the donkey cart before continuing on the road.

Sitting on the donkey cart, bathing in the warm sunshine of early spring, you can see the beautiful mountain scenery.

When Chen Ling was in a good mood, he couldn't help but wave his whip and sing loudly:

"You're on the other side of the mountain,

I am standing on this ridge and beam,

Call me sister and you didn’t hear me,

You are my brother's best friend..."

The weather is nice and warm today.

While driving the donkey cart on the road, the sounds of birds in the surrounding mountains and forests became noticeably louder.

Chen Ling would still see a few hares coming and going from time to time, but they would be alerted before he could get closer, and they would run away vigilantly.

"The weather is really nice. It will definitely be warmer in the afternoon."

"After processing the peanuts, go to the river and try to see if you can catch a fish, or if you are lucky, you can catch an old turtle."

Chen Ling squinted at the warm sun in the sky, thinking to himself.

There are fewer fish sellers here, mainly because they are so common in normal times. After the weather warms up, there should not be too many fish and shrimps in the puddles in the rivers and ponds.

In dense areas, you can catch fish by touching them with your hands.

The living environment is far from being comparable to that of later generations, and can be said to be rampant.

Not long after, the county seat arrived.

Chen Ling rushed to the nearest oil shop. When he rushed there, the boss was very enthusiastic.

"Brother Fugui, you are finally here."

"I've tried it, and your peanut oil is very good."

"I want all the 9 cents a pound for the cart you pulled over today."

This is the person who gave birth to the sheep raised in the family, named Liu Xingeng.

He has a round head, a short body, and a pair of small eyes.

This guy just can't laugh.

As long as you smile when talking, you will appear to be very cunning and need to be beaten.

The scale of his oil shop is not large, and can only be considered medium-sized in the county.

But the demand for peanuts and soybeans is not much less than that of Dyoufang.

Chen Ling also knew this, so he said: "Boss Liu, let's see how my peanuts are today, inspect them, and then we can discuss the price."

"Don't make you dissatisfied and think I'm fooling you with defective products."

Today's peanuts have been kept in the cave for two more days. Chen Ling feels that they are even better than the previous peanuts.

No matter the taste or other aspects, it has to be better.

Selling it for 9 cents per pound, to be honest, it was a bit of a loss.

He wants to raise prices.

As the old saying goes, when doing business, you have to ask for high prices and pay back the money, but it shouldn't be too outrageous. You still have to abide by the market conditions.

Last time he came to sell peanuts for the first time and tested the prices.
