My 1995 Small Farm.

There are indeed many similar legends about animals in the mountains setting up platforms.

For example, as Chen Ling mentioned before, there is Geda Terrace, east of the county town.

It's just a mound of earth that suddenly appeared.

At the time, many people spread rumors that it was an earthen dragon building a platform or something.

Because there's a long earthen mound over there.

It's said to be the dragon raising its head, with only one head protruding.

The reason why that platform is called "Gedatai" is because it is covered with densely packed small clods of earth, which look like the head of a dragon.

Back then, there was a wealthy family who built a temple on Geda Terrace.

The Dragon King Temple is located on the platform.

It is said to be the Earth Dragon King, and it is very effective.

"Lingzi, let me tell you, it's the New Year, we can talk about it all we want, don't even think about going there."

As soon as Wang Qingwen saw the hint of interest in Chen Ling's expression, he knew what Chen Ling was thinking.

He'll know what kind of personality his brother-in-law has after spending time with him.

To put it nicely, he was bold and decisive, and indeed capable; he had great talent.

But to put it bluntly, it's called being incredibly audacious, daring to go to any dangerous place.

He's fearless and reckless, a complete brute.

"Okay, okay, I'll go after the first month of the lunar calendar, alright?"

Chen Ling found it quite amusing to see his brother-in-law looking so frightened.

Of course.

He wants to explore too much now, but that's not allowed.

I won’t say anything else.

Liang Yuemin has been saying recently that he will stay in the village until the tenth day of the lunar month.

They said they started calling people to continue improving Chen Ling's deer farm from the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

After the deer farm was completed, the cattle and sheep farms were quickly built as well.

In northern China, people don't visit relatives on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

It's to send away the God of Poverty.

There is a saying that "firecrackers can scare away the god of poverty."

Therefore, no one will receive relatives, nor will anyone visit other people's homes at this critical juncture.

Most of them would go out into the streets to perform lion dances, dragon dances, and land boat races.

It's more lively than a temple fair.

Or it's like a small temple fair.

Liang Yuemin and his team were originally supposed to start work on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and he, as the boss, was supposed to arrive on the sixth or seventh day.

Upon hearing about the grand event on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he was determined to stay.

In addition, he was exhausted last year.

They kept trying to delay starting work a few more days.

They kept delaying until the tenth of the month before leaving.

Thinking of staying behind after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, to act as a supervisor for Chen Ling and do some work.

So he and Wang Susu will stay overnight at Yaowang Village.

I'll head back tomorrow afternoon.

By the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, they had few relatives and not many people to visit.

Then you don't need to go anywhere.

Find some people, pay them more wages, and start construction on the deer farm.

Take a day off on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and then work until the tenth day.

It should be possible to build a deer farm and a sheep farm.

"Alright, your second brother said that once February arrives and the weather warms up, he'll go to the mountains north of Liangkouzhai and dig out the Eagle Cave there."

You can all go together then.

However, it was agreed beforehand that we must be back before dark.

Wang Qingwen said very seriously.

"Hey, big brother, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I've been in the mountains too many times these past two years. I'm even more of a mountain scoundrel than the mountain scoundrels."

Chen Ling chuckled as he spoke, still acting as if he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Besides, if you mention Eagle Cave, then our main purpose is to catch eagles. Didn't I tell you before that we now have two bald guys and two eagles?"

He's Er Tuzi's lackey.

I'll catch a few eaglets and raise them to form a falconry team.

Falcon and hound, a double strike—just thinking about it is exhilarating.

"...As long as you don't try to get close to that earthen platform, you can do whatever you want to those eagles."

At this point, Wang Qingwen added, "By the way, I heard Susu say earlier that you're really going to act in a TV series after the New Year?" "Yes, I'm going to have some fun. I have a good subject matter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling brought up the matter and explained what the story of "Returning in Glory" was about.

What are the meanings behind the metaphors in it?

What are the relationships between the characters?

What are its values ​​and the core spirit it conveys?

Hearing this made Wang Qingwen very excited.

People these days really know very little about what's going on in the entertainment industry.

But one counts.

Whether they are ordinary people or people with some education, they all still have a strong sense of patriotism.

Speaking of bringing glory to the country.

Speaking of the glory of our motherland.

Those were all moments of intense excitement and exhilarating passion.

If only someone like Chen Ling could personally participate in it.

That guy, you'd fight over him even if he wasn't paid.

"When are you planning to film this? Can you do it like before, when you filmed Wu Song fighting the tiger, and bring people here to film it?"

Wang Qingwen looked quite expectant.

"It's probably not going to work out. They said they'd be filming in two locations: Beijing and Hong Kong Island..."

Chen Ling and Liang Yuemin had discussed this before, but let's not talk about how good this kind of TV series is.

For them, it's their own business.

It means that the official leaders take care of themselves and make things convenient for them.

We should give them a gift in return.

On Hong Kong Island, let's use this braised beef noodle soup to give the mainland a boost in prestige.

Since it's something that's about saving face...

Then I definitely need to go for a stroll on Hong Kong Island.

"But I'm going anyway. If you want to be on camera, you can come with me to the film set."

Chen Ling smiled.

Give him a minor role with no lines, like a waiter or waitress at the restaurant where Jiao Huang works.

That's quite simple.

"Huh? I can go too?"

"Hehe, really?"

Wang Qingwen has always been a serious and rigid person, but this time he's really something else.

As soon as I heard about a patriotic TV series.

He immediately chuckled to himself.

"Yes, that's perfect, I'll take you all there for a visit then."

Chen Ling laughed and said, "Although I can't let Su Su and the children show up, it doesn't matter if they go out to play."

"Okay, okay, since you're all going, I'll go too."

Wang Qingwen immediately became excited.

"Where are you going? Where are you going? Where are you all going?"

Hearing their conversation, Wang Zhenzhen pushed open the window of the east room and jumped out.

"Oh dear, why do you always look like a monkey?"

Chen Ling immediately looked disgusted and frowned, saying, "Look at you, you don't act like a girl at all. Can't you walk properly?"

"Hey? You brat, it's only been a few days, and you dare to talk back on me???"

Wang Zhenzhen immediately pouted and started rolling up her sleeves.

"Zhenzhen, you're not allowed to fool around with your brother-in-law!"

Wang Qingwen immediately scolded the child with a stern face. However, it was the time of the New Year, and children were not allowed to be disciplined in the countryside. It was said that it would be bad luck for the child to cry during the first month of the lunar year.

Wang Zhenzhen, relying on this point, would never listen to him.

He charged straight at Chen Ling, yelling, "Watch my deadly combo kicks!"

They're about to come over and kick someone.

Before they could even kick Chen Ling, a group of children of all ages ran over from outside.

He hurriedly shouted, "Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen, come out quickly! Foreign devils have come to the village. They have red hair and green hats. They look terrifying!"

My dad said we should get ready to bombard them with cannons!

"Foreign devil? What country are they from? Take me there quickly, no, wait, let me get my slingshot!"

Wang Zhenzhen had seen a lot from Chen Ling, so she first asked which country he was from, but then realized they wouldn't understand, so she hurriedly went back into the house to get her slingshot.

When she came out, she saw that Chen Ling and Wang Qingwen were both staring at her without smiling.

He immediately shrank back, and couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly:

"Brother-in-law, eldest brother, second brother, foreign devils have come to the village, let's go take a look." (End of this chapter)
