My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 742

While everyone was amazed, many of the older folks even went up to Chen Ling and curiously touched and pinched him.

Xu Yingguang from Hong Kong Island stared wide-eyed, his eyes shining, and he mumbled words of his hometown dialect.

After saying that, he switched to broken Mandarin and shouted, "With this kind of physical condition, if you just learn a few moves, you can take him out to fight and no one can withstand a single punch."

At the same time, the little blue horse on the slope stared wide-eyed in shock, its eyes filled with fear, as if it were seeing its master, Chen Ling, for the first time.

Even as Chen Ling cleaned the wounds on the packhorse's hooves, the little blue horse's legs began to twitch and tremble, as if it had seen something terrifying.

It wasn't until Chen Ling cleaned and bandaged the packhorse's wounds that it began to recover slightly.

But it immediately trotted over to Chen Ling with tiny steps, wagging its tail and panting as it carried his toolbox, looking just like a big dog.

Dogs fetch things for their owners, and even horses do it.

Many people find this novel.

Secretary Zhang also tried to remain calm: "If Xiao Chen can train tigers, training a horse is a piece of cake."

Everyone thought it made sense.

Someone else asked, "Now that the tiger has been sent away, when can we bring it back?"

They loved watching the tiger around Chen Ling.

Chen Ling said, "If all goes well, I will bring my baby back for his 100-day celebration. If something else happens, it will probably be the earliest we can go back for the New Year."

The zoo staff took Afu and Ashou away this morning.

With so many leaders present, they were terrified that Chen Ling would bring up keeping the tiger again, and if the leaders agreed, they would be in a difficult position.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the idea of ​​establishing two types of zoos was being proposed, Chen Ling was in a good mood and quickly took the tiger away.

To avoid dragging it out and ending up not being able to take it with me in the end.

"Alas, we came at the wrong time."

"What do you mean we came at the wrong time? It's clearly the zoo that came at the wrong time."

"You're right. The people at the provincial zoo are too cunning. It's one thing to want to take the tiger away, but they're also eyeing my master's muntjac cub. They definitely want to take the mother and cub away..."

They were lucky; they didn't bring it up in the end. If they had dared to, the tiger wouldn't have let them take it.

It has to be said that the animals that Chen Ling keeps would be extremely tempting to any zoo.

Sika deer are alright, they're just pretty and lovable.

That little muntjac is different. Not only is it cuter and more adorable than a sika deer, but it also has a more playful personality and is much smaller and more delicate.

This is extremely harmful to children.

Now that the kids are about to start their winter break, if we bring them back to the zoo and do a little promotion, wow, the tickets will definitely sell like hotcakes.

"Besides, the two tigers were so reluctant to leave, they definitely won't stay in the zoo for too long before they have to come back... I guess the zoo staff are afraid that if the tigers are raised by Xiao Chen for too long, they will only recognize Xiao Chen and not anyone else, and then they won't be able to take them back, which is why they are in such a hurry to come and take them away."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

"..."

Seeing everyone start talking, Secretary Zhang quickly said, "You can't say that. Xiao Chen only lets the tiger come back to the mountain every now and then for the good of both the tiger and the zoo. If it were any other selfish person, raising the tiger so well, they would have already treated it as their own and made money from it."

Chen Ling didn't say anything. While he was treating the packhorse's injuries, he asked Yu Qi'an to bring Er Tuzi out.

The bald man's body has already grown a layer of fine hair roots.

Eating and drinking well at home is much better for it than recovering from its injuries by living in a cave outside.

Chen Ling then used scissors to cut off Er Tuzi's mouth and claw hooks.

Claw hooks are easy to cut.

Only a small portion of the eagle's beak needs to be trimmed off, and the rest can be ground down with a shavings.

Cutting off an eagle's beak and claws was another unusual thing that had never been seen before. Even the people in the mountains had rarely seen such a thing. When everyone saw this, they forgot about the tiger and gathered around to watch.

Even Zhao Yubao, who didn't like being in crowds, ran down the slope and craned his neck to look.

period.

Amidst the continuous stream of curious questions from the crowd, Chen Ling recounted the inspirational story of the eagle's rebirth.

The crowd was stunned by what they heard, completely bewildered.

Several leaders urged the provincial TV station to record this scene immediately, saying they wanted to see what Er Tu Zi would look like after his "rebirth" and complete transformation.

They were also amazed by Er Tuzi's ability to subdue two eagles in the deep mountains.

It also allowed people to record everything.

“Fugui, we’ve finished planting the vegetables, and the irrigation ditches and canals are almost finished. Lixian, let me ask you if you need to pump water into the greenhouse today.”

While things were getting lively here, Chen Dazhi came over with his men to ask questions and reminded them, "The water in the river is shallow now, so it's not easy to divert water. If you want to divert water today, I'll go find water tanks to transport it."

"No need, there's no rush to draw water now. Let's wait for the seeds to sprout and grow first," Chen Ling replied, looking up.

Chen Dazhi said, "Everyone who farms knows to draw water after the seeds have sprouted. What we mean is, you're also going to raise fish, right? Draw water into the canal, add some aquatic plants or something. It'll be warm in the greenhouse, and once the aquatic plants grow, the fish will be easier to raise."

Chen Ling looked enlightened: "Oh, there's no need to worry about that. When the seeds sprout, just use a watering can when you water them for the first time."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the person next to Chen Dazhi looked familiar.

Then I thought again, damn it, isn't that Chen Guoxing? He actually came to help out at my greenhouse too?
I hadn't noticed it before.

Chen Guoxing is Chen Guoping's brother. He is the same person as Wang Laifu, who died recently. Both of them felt that they had great talent and should have left this remote mountain village to become college students and soar to great heights.

The result was that they all had lofty ambitions but lacked the ability to achieve their goals.

However, compared to the other two, Wang Laifu was a quiet and reserved person in the village. He rarely went out, and even when he did, he would just walk with his head down, looking preoccupied and rarely saying a word.

Chen Guoxing also went out and talked to the villagers. He seemed much more cheerful than Wang Laifu.

However, he was actually more insecure than Wang Laifu.

Wang Laifu was even looking for ways to make money so that his two sons could get married.

Over the years, Chen Guoxing has never done any farm work, let alone household chores.

To put it bluntly, they still consider their past achievements as a real skill, and they can't bring themselves to be farmers.

They thought they were amazing, highly skilled, and disdained to look at the work of peasants.

But at the same time, he felt that the villagers were looking at him strangely, and he felt very inferior.

His outward behavior is inconsistent; when he's in a good mood, he'll greet people from the same village, but when he's in a bad mood, he'll have a gloomy face and ignore everyone.

It's quite contradictory.

So Chen Ling really didn't expect this person to actually come out, and even come to the greenhouse to work for him.

The key is……

Can he do farm work?

For many years, he did no work and suffered from low self-esteem and depression. He had no energy and became skin and bones.

At this moment, Chen Guoxing noticed Chen Ling's surprised expression and laughed first, "Fugui, you know everything now!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling was even more surprised: "It seems that Brother Guoxing is in good spirits lately."

Unexpectedly, Chen Guoxing waved his hand and took the initiative to bring up the topic of his own life: "Hey, I was wrong before, and half my life was wasted. I wish I could have realized my mistake earlier like you."

Chen Ling uttered an "uh," somewhat speechless. Accustomed to the way people spoke in the countryside, he found it difficult to adapt to Chen Ling's pedantic and literary choice of words.

I also didn't expect Chen Guoxing to take the initiative to break the awkward silence.

"Oh dear, with Laifu as an example, Guoxing has realized that this is wrong now that Laifu has run into trouble."

Chen Dazhi said, "Look at Fu, his whole life just passed by like that, he didn't have anything left, he didn't even see his two kids get married, what a waste."

"Yes, that's what I mean. The meaning of a person's life lies in realizing their own value. Time waits for no one, and we can't waste any more time." Chen Guoxing's eyes were firm, and he looked like he was going to turn over a new leaf.

To be honest, his appearance and expression still have a bit of a student vibe.

They're not exactly the same as those students who are determined to study hard in the new semester, but they're at least 80% similar.

To be honest, Chen Ling was a little embarrassed.

The leaders became interested when they heard that this man's manner of speaking was different from that of the villagers.

Secretary Zhang took the lead and went forward to inquire about the situation.

Leaders are all good at getting information out of people.

Chen Guoxing is not young, but his mind is still quite mature for his age.

A few questions were enough to get a general idea out of him.

Now it’s interesting.

None of the leaders expected that there would be such a person in the village.

And there's more than one.

Another one died recently, it was something similar.

I immediately became interested.

He continued his in-depth conversation with Chen Guoxing.

This conversation not only revealed Chen Guoxing's own family affairs, but also allowed him to gain a more detailed understanding of Chen Ling through the words of this "cultured man".

People like Chen Guoxing and Wang Laifu are the complete opposite of Chen Ling.

Looking at Chen Ling, this high school dropout, he was nothing more than an ignorant and irresponsible person who did nothing but catch fish, shrimp, hawks, and dogs all day long.

What they are doing step by step now is something that they, with their pride and arrogance, would never have dared to dream of.

You make money while playing games, but that's another story.

Even renowned writers and professors vied to take him on as a disciple, but he refused.

His friends and pen pals were all quite remarkable.

Recently, people from Hong Kong and Taiwan have come here. According to the villagers they are staying with, Chen Ling is still secretly writing and publishing, and writing research papers.

The shock and devastation Chen Guoxing experienced were beyond the comprehension of most people.

He used to shout: "So-and-so loves this land deeply, what a load of rubbish! I have no feelings for this land at all. Farmers can't get ahead on this land. This land doesn't support people at all."

His views have changed now.

Even if he gets into university, will he be as successful as Chen Ling? At best, he might not be that successful.

They haven't even reached Chen Ling's level.

and……

Chen Ling is only a few years old now.

What is his age?

Even if he passes the exam and gets accepted, can he achieve this level at this age?
Can he, like Chen Ling, stay quietly in his hometown and resist the temptations of the outside world?
He couldn't, he believed, and neither could Wang Laifu.

I've gotten over that difficult hurdle in my heart.

Let alone comparing himself to Chen Ling, he felt he couldn't even compare to the ordinary villagers, at least Chen Ling's family was harmonious and happy.

And what about myself? My children all look down on me…
