My 1995 Small Farm.

My great-uncle's health has never been very good.

I've never had a full meal in my life; I've mostly endured hunger.

Poverty and having many children took a toll on his and his great-grandmother's health.

Most elderly people of this age are like this, suffering from chronic illnesses due to overwork.

What later generations call age-related diseases were minor problems for them.

Chen Ling walked up to Chen Gannian, gently helped him up, and escorted him back into the house.

Chen Ling understands some medical principles, but he doesn't know how to treat patients.

He then said to Chen Guoping, "Brother Guoping, could you check on Fourth Grandfather's health? Is there anything wrong with him?"

"Hmm...it's nothing, I'm just angry."

Chen Guoping pondered for a moment, recalling Chen Gannian's previous health condition and his frequent mental confusion: "Just to be on the safe side, let's send Fourth Grandfather to the hospital first."

Otherwise, if something happens, we won't have time to deal with it.

Now, facing the public eye, Chen Ling is unable to use his own methods to save people.

Upon hearing this, he quickly agreed.

He called out repeatedly, asking people to prepare bedding, clothes, and other items. He then went to get a car and took Chen Gannian directly to the county hospital.

Chen Yongsheng was also sent along with them.

Chen Yongsheng was hit on the head with a shovel by Chen Yonggang, leaving a deep gash that required stitches at the hospital.

As for Chen Ling...

He's just waiting until tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, when he'll be free and go to the hospital to bring some food to his great-uncle.

Also, send some honey water or something similar.

He remembered it clearly.

After drinking his own honey water, Chen Gannian gradually stopped being so confused.

It is commonly believed that honey water can detoxify and nourish the body.

For those who accidentally ingest plant poisons, honey water mixed with mung bean soup is used as an antidote, and it is remarkably effective.

After dealing with my fourth grandfather's affairs.

Chen Ling returned home and continued to stay up all night to welcome the New Year.

Their family's New Year's Eve was not affected in any way.

Even with so many children around, it was still very joyful and lively.

……

Chen Ling's family bought a lot of fireworks this year.

Because it wasn't just him who bought it; Zhao Dahai and the others also bought it.

Fireworks are for celebrating the Chinese New Year.

So nobody restricts the children from playing.

Rui Rui followed her older brother and sister, letting them run wild.

The dogs also jumped around and barked everywhere.

At first, it was to keep Rui Rui away from the fireworks.

Later, the dogs had a lot of fun, running around happily in circles.

Kids are all very playful.

Before one small firework had even finished going off, another one was already being set up next to it.

Later on, they simply arranged them in twos and threes in a row and put them all out together.

In short, they were setting off small fireworks, while the adults were setting off large fireworks.

Not only did it fill the air above the farm with the smell of gunpowder, but it also attracted the villagers out of the village.

of course.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and with that commotion in the village just now, no one will actually come to visit Chen Ling's house.

The children all ran over to play near the farm.

Most of the adults watched from the slope.

Some villagers who had bought fireworks also took them out and lit them together with Chen Ling's fireworks.

They just bought too little.

Many even brought out fertilizer and other spark-producing materials to make up the numbers.

The main purpose is to join in the fun.

Regardless, the residents of the surrounding villages and the county town were all attracted by the fireworks display in Chenwangzhuang, which resembled a shower of flowers from the heavens.

Because Chen Ling's fireworks display lasted a long time, some young people even rode motorcycles over to watch.

"Uncle, quickly enlarge it, enlarge it to the largest size, the small one is meaningless."

The chubby boy led Rui Rui and the others over, shouting.

The chubby boy felt very proud because the village's Liu Ni'er and other little kids had come over.

"Susu, these fireworks are beautiful, you set them off."

Chen Ling took out some fireworks that looked like cannon tubes, arranged them on the ground, and extended the fuses.

Then he called his wife over. "Should I come? I haven't set off fireworks yet!"

Wang Susu was not very brave; she had been covering her ears and hiding to the side all along.

"Come on, come on, you take Rui Rui and order this."

Chen Ling made the fuse very long; he specifically wanted this when he went to Wangba City to buy it.

It's a semi-custom item.

It's because we had already considered the children in the family.

"Susu, go and try it. After you order, give us some encouragement. With Fugui around, he won't hurt you. Don't be afraid."

Liu Yinhuan and the others were also encouraging them.

"Come on, Rui Rui, let's go try it with Mommy."

Wang Susu mustered her courage and stepped forward with Rui Rui.

Chen Ling then handed her the lit incense.

They said they would let the mother and son set off fireworks.

Actually, it was Wang Susu and her family of three setting off fireworks.

When Wang Susu saw Chen Ling behind her, Rui Rui's eyes lit up with excitement, and he became even bolder.

Bring the burning incense stick to the fuse of the firework.

The fuse ignited instantly, hissing and crackling with fireworks, and burned rapidly toward the end of the fuse.

"Hey, get out of the way!"

Wang Susu appeared slightly panicked when she saw the fuse ignite.

Rui Rui then started screaming at just the right moment.

Chen Ling didn't need the mother and son to hide themselves. He simply picked them up on the spot, with his wife on the left and his son on the right.

Then, he calmly stepped back.

One second, two seconds, and the fuse of the firework finally burned out.

The fireworks were huge, and the sound was louder than ever before.

With a sharp 'whoosh', a dazzling burst of fire shot into the sky.

With a 'bang', it transformed into a silver flame and exploded in the night sky.

The entire village of Chenwangzhuang was instantly brightened.

Then came the continuous "whoosh" sounds.

Large, colorful bursts of flame shot into the sky, like clusters of flowers in full bloom, displaying a riot of colors.

A stunning cluster of light bursts forth in the night sky, breathtakingly beautiful.

"So beautiful!"

Wang Susu nestled in Chen Ling's arms, while Chen Ling held their son. The faces of the three of them were flushed red by the glow of the fireworks.

……

The commotion they made as a family of three drew envy from others.

People came forward one after another to choose their favorite fireworks and light them.

So one, two, three, four, and then it was like a shower of colorful light rising into the sky.

The atmosphere in Chenwangzhuang was lively for half the night.

Staying up all night on New Year's Eve and continuously lighting incense and candles for the household gods and Buddhas were chores that the women in the family had to do.

In previous years, Wang Susu was in charge, and she would basically stay up all night to guard the place.

This year is a bit better; everyone takes turns and has time to rest.

Wang Susu was up until three or four in the morning before she and Chen Ling finally lay down on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.

The rest was left to Liang Yuemin and his wife.

Liu Yinhuan had known about this since she was a child and had done it before, but Liang Yuemin had never done it before. He just thought it was novel and took it on directly, wanting to do his part for his family.

It was the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Chen Ling and his wife woke up very early as usual.

They went out early to pay New Year's greetings to the village elders.

In fact, there are not many elders in the village for Chen Ling.

If Wang Lixian's aunt, Chen Sangui, and Fourth Grandfather hadn't gone to the hospital, Fourth Grandfather would have been included as well.

If Wang Juxiang and his mother hadn't caused trouble, Wang Laishun would have been involved too.

There are only a few of them.

Everyone else is of the same generation or younger. On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people can have a meal and drink together, but it is not necessary to pay New Year's visits.

On the contrary, it was Chen Ling himself...

The young couple got up early because many villagers wanted to pay them New Year's visits.

They will arrive one after another.

These guests should all be received at home.

So the two of them had to take Rui Rui and quickly walk around the village before returning to wait for the people to come to their door. (End of Chapter)
