Chapter 201 Transport Building Materials

Not to mention that Wang Chunyuan stepped into the car and left in a daze.

Chen Ling returned home, Qin Rongxian couldn't help but said: "This person is also thick-skinned. He is rushing to the kitchen to stop by for dinner. Can he really do it?"

Liang Hongyu also nodded and said, "Yeah, originally looking at his appearance and dress, he was quite decent."

"I heard that you and Qiumei's daughter are relatives?"

"Well, this is her brother-in-law, who used to be at the township health center."

Chen Ling wiped his hands, sat down and said, "Her sister is not good either. I used to see Susu being bullied and speaking very badly."

When Liang Hongyu heard this, her face immediately became a little ugly.

Wang Susu, a niece-in-law, is a virtuous housekeeper, kind and weak, and she likes it very much in her heart.

Thinking of her being bullied in the village, Liang Hongyu couldn't help but feel a rage in her heart.

pointed at Qin Rongxian and said, "How come you Qinwan are so old?"

Qin Rongxian looked helpless when he heard the words, and called Qu: "Is it useful to tell me? I haven't gone back for many years."

Liang Hongyu still had a cold face: "If anyone in Qinwan will come to do business in the future, just drive them out."

"It's okay Auntie, A Ling was so angry for me that she almost pinned her in the pit."

Wang Susu chuckled and said, "Dongmei has high eyebrows and always feels that she has the ability to look down on us farmers. After being married for a few years, she is not welcome in the village."

"No, the two of them want to rebuild a house, but they can't get anyone to help."

"That's what they deserve."

Liang Hongyu snorted and said to Wang Susu: "You, you are soft-tempered, you are far away from your mother's house, you are angry with the mother-in-law, don't keep it in your stomach and don't say anything, discuss with the wealthy first, if the wealthy is not good for the mother-in-law If you have anything to do, just go to me, and I'll give you a head start."

"Do you know?"

"Well, I know Auntie, don't worry, we live our own lives and don't be annoying."

Wang Susu smiled softly.

said so, but Liang Hongyu's intention to take care and protect her still warmed her heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, the white porridge is ready, I'll bring it over, let's officially start dinner."

Chen Ling got up and went out, carrying the pots and pans into the house.

Today is all light meals except fried quail, mainly to take care of the appetites of Wang Susu and Liang Hongyu.

Liang Hongyu, although they looked like they were not too old, in their 40s, they were actually too old to eat a lot of meat all day long.

I usually focus on home-cooked meals, which are good for the stomach and feel comfortable to eat.

After dinner.

After drinking two cups of hot tea, Chen Ling took two dogs, and Qin Rong went outside the village to herd cattle and sheep first.

The two sisters Wang Susu and Liang Hongyu were sitting in the yard peeling walnuts.

A while ago, the two bags of pecans that Chen Ling brought back from the mountains, the original green walnut skins, have now become wrinkled and dry after continuous wind and sun exposure, and can be easily peeled off.

Hickory is a good thing. After peeling it, you can eat it, sell it or make a snack.

…

One or two o'clock in the afternoon is the warmest time of the day in early winter.

The two cotton makers were still busy walking around the village.

It is cold in the mountains in winter, and when the quilt is quilted, the quilt is thicker.

But the cotton quilt is covered for two consecutive years, and it will not keep warm.

At this time, the quilt should be removed, and the gradually hardened old batt should be bounced twice, so that the quilt can become soft and warm again.

Although it is not as good as new cotton, it can last for several years without buying new cotton, which can save a lot of money.

"Eat it, Uncle Fugui."

Today's cotton-playing craftsman was at Chen Yingqiang's house. When he saw Chen Ling and the two passing by the door, he came out to talk.

"Eat, come out for a walk."

Chen Ling also stopped, took the slingshot behind his back, and looked into the yard.

The two big wooden bows in the courtyard vibrated and buzzed, and the cotton wool flew around. One old and one young were busy.

Qin Rongxian also held a slingshot and leaned over to look at it, "Why are you still playing cotton like this in the countryside?"

"Yeah, it's all like this. It's cheaper than the flower machine in the county, so you can use it with confidence."

Chen Ling replied.

After all, the flower bomb machine is stained with cotton wool, whether it can be cleaned up is what people say.

Fatty meat will be coated with a layer of oil.

Even if you stare at it closely, you can't do anything to check the machine.

If you were not careful, half a catty of cotton came out.

The more people who play cotton, the more cotton they can save.

Therefore, ordinary people generally do not go to the county town to find machine shells except for urgent needs.

The two watched cotton for a while, chatted with Chen Yingqiang for a while, and then continued to walk towards the entrance of the village.

The big sheep led the lamb and followed behind the little white ox, and he did not need to take care of him. The two of them walked around holding slingshots and looking for birds to shoot.

Qin Rongxian has nothing to do. Apart from reading books at home, he just wanders around and hunts birds, which he feeds to the raccoon at home.

Came here this time, and brought Chen Ling a lot of rubber bands of excellent quality, saying that it was interrupted and let him use them instead.

Put on a new rubber band, and also changed the leather pad for the bullet.

There are ready-made rabbit skins at home, cut into small pieces, ground thin and soft, and has no weight.

The equipment was updated again, and Chen Ling's slingshot accuracy improved a lot.

The hit is far and accurate.

"Heiwa, go catch the birds."

On the dam, Chen Ling stretched out his hand.

There are quite a lot of sparrows on the dam. Taking advantage of the warm sun, small bunkers were created on the river sand pile on the north side of the dam.

Heiwa rushed over immediately, and with a buzzing sound, dozens of sparrows all flew up.

Chen Ling and Qin Rongxian were already holding the bullets and ready to shoot.

"snap—", "snack—"

With the sound of two rubber bands rebounding.

A sparrow fell diagonally to the ground.

No surprise, it was Chen Ling who hit.

was picked up by Heiwa trotting back.

Qin Rong shook his head first: "No, I can't hit the slingshot very far with a new rubber band. I can only hit the birds on the trees nearby, and the distant bullets will fly away."

"Uncle, this is the slingshot's leather pad is a bit big. I'll go back and cut a piece later."

Chen Ling picked up his slingshot and glanced at it, and suggested.

This slingshot frame was made for him by Chen Ling, and Liang Yuemin also had one.

Delicate and beautiful, the bow door is no problem.

Chen Ling didn't have rubber bands at home, so the two took them back and bought them to tie them up themselves.

Otherwise, if Chen Ling was tied, there would definitely be no such problem.

Whether the slingshot can hit far is related to the bow door, rubber band and leather pad of the slingshot.

The bow door is no problem, and the new rubber band is fine too.

The reason why it can't hit very far is that the leather pad for the bullet is too thick, too wide, and too big.

If the    is too large, the slingshot will not be able to hit very far.

Qin Rongxian also specially picked a piece of cowhide.

still doesn’t work.

This little doll who has played a lot knows that there is nothing else, it is all tried out after a long time.

"Look at mine, just cut it to a width of one finger, and then use sandpaper to soften the leather a little bit, it must be far away."

"It turns out to be like this. I was afraid that it would be too narrow to hold the bullet."

"That's fine, you'll know how it feels when you try it with me."

…

Qin Rong tried a few times with Chen Ling's slingshot.

The accuracy of the head really improved a lot, and two wild birds were shot down in a short while.

While it was warm, Chen Ling wanted to go to the orchard to see it. After all, he was going to start work in a few days.

So he walked slowly with the cattle and sheep.

At the foot of the    mountain, thick fallen leaves have accumulated in the fruit forest, and the water in the small river ditch has only a shallow bottom.

Chen Ling and the two went inside, only the places where things had been planted were better, and the soil quality in most places was still not good.

As for the soil under the fruit tree, I took a closer look at the fallen leaves, and there was no obvious improvement.

In this regard, Chen Ling was not in a hurry. After walking around, after knowing what he knew, he let Xiao Bai Niu take the sheep around.

The four lambs, two black, two white, are about a month old now. They are jumping and jumping.

Tired of playing, he followed behind the ewe and ate leaves with his head down.

Chen Ling looked at the four little guys, touched his chin and pondered: "It's okay if the ground is not strong, first raise the little things in the house, and next year will be able to flock chickens, ducks and sheep. After Zhuangzi is built, the place will be better. When I’m old, it’s good to do this first, and I’ll think about other things after the new year.”

"Fugui, there are a lot of wild pigeons here, try if you can catch two. Now that you have less food to eat, you can bring them back to raise them for a winter, and maybe they will be able to raise them."

Qin Rong first took the slingshot all the way to shoot birds, and then pointed to a group of wild pigeons in the west river ditch to show him.

There were still some soybeans and peanuts left in the field over there, but they were not cleaned up completely.

The gray, purple-brown wild pigeons twitched their heads a few times while pecking at the food on the ground, watching them warily.

"No, I can't fight. Wild pigeons are very clever like magpies. As long as they are ten meters away from them, they will fly away immediately, giving no chance to aim at all."

Chen Ling shook his head, this thing is very defensive, as long as it walks within three feet, it will fly away.

Like magpies, they can even tell if you are hostile.

When there is no slingshot or gun in your hand, you will keep yelling in front of you, only to see that you have a slingshot in your hand and run faster than anyone else.

In contrast, the pigeons and turtledoves are far behind, so people call them silly turtledoves more.

"In the past, there were wild pigeon nests on our dam, and they were crowded in rows. Later, the village children used to block other people's nests at night, so they didn't set up their homes there. Now most of them are on the lower soil cliffs and cliffs in the mountains. , very difficult to catch."

"Then can I get caught in the ground?"

"Yes, I'll come over tomorrow to try a few and sprinkle some food. If the pigeons don't come, the birds will come. I'm not afraid of losing."

Chen Ling smiled, "If you're lucky, you can get a few pairs of female pigeons at home."

Afterwards, the two of them took the slingshots to try it out. Sure enough, the pigeons would fly away as soon as they approached a distance of more than ten meters.

Shoot birds and herd sheep.

The sun gradually slanted to the west, and the afternoon sun gradually lost its warmth, so the two led the cattle and sheep to go home.

…

After returning to her parents' home for two days, the Chen Ling family returned to their normal life.

The next morning he sent his sister-in-law back to school, and went to the east of the city to see the building materials.

It was a good coincidence that I met Wang Chunyuan, who came to find his eldest brother Wang Chunsheng.

His eldest brother Wang Chunsheng runs a small lumber factory on the east side of the city. He knows many acquaintances nearby. If he wants to build a house and buy building materials, he can also find some cheap.

Chen Ling and others went to meet each other, and the two greeted each other with a smile, and then went about their own business.

It is Wang Chunsheng, who is still enthusiastic.

After finding two acquaintances for Wang Chunyuan, he offered to take Chen Ling around.

Chen Ling didn't refuse, but after only seeing two of them, he felt that it was not very good.

"Forget it, Brother Chunsheng, things in our county are still a little bit worse. I'll go to Wangbacheng tomorrow to see."

Chen Ling is telling the truth, it's not because of Wang Chunyuan that he doesn't give him face, "You should have heard that the materials for Erzhu's greenhouses are also pulled from there. It is indeed better than ours."

Wang Chunsheng also knew this, so he said: "Wangbacheng's things are good or good, but they are very expensive. In a place as big as you, it's more expensive here, and it's more expensive there, so you spend more money."

He was kind, but Chen Ling would not take advantage of the money gap.

declined politely, and after a few more polite words, he rode his car to the small courtyard in the south of the city.

The small courtyard in the south of the city does not come here often, but it is very useful.

And next to the county middle school, the location is also good.

In the future, the children in the family do not want to go to school far away. If they go to middle school in the county, they will be home when they go out.

I don’t like school food anymore, so I can eat at home, which is very convenient.

So Chen Ling thought about negotiating with the landlord and the old couple to buy the yard.

These days, the houses in the small county towns don’t have much money.

Save yourself having to worry about paying rent.

Chen Ling went to the landlord's house and discussed it.

Overall, the process of buying a house was smooth.

That is, in the end, I gave an extra 500 yuan.

Mainly, this old couple is also not short of money, and the eldest son is in a government unit in the city, and his position is not low.

The old man is nostalgic and a little reluctant to bear the old yard.

In order to settle down as soon as possible, it's okay for Chen Ling to bleed a little more.

After finishing the matter in the morning, I put a new lock on the courtyard door in the afternoon, and I didn’t even bother to eat lunch, mainly because I found that there were a lot of mice in the new house.

He used to grow sweet potatoes in the yard, and some small ones that were not dug up have now become food for mice.

The mouse hole in the wall of the east house is just a few steps away.

Not only in the yard, but also upstairs, there were mice, and holes were gnawed at the corners of the door and the window screens.

This is not a ground mouse, and Chen Ling has no good idea. He is too lazy to buy rat poison and mouse traps. He said in his heart that he will bring Huangpizi in two days, and they will look good when that time comes.

When I went back in the afternoon, I called Zhao Dahai from the phone booth and said that he is now starting to prepare building materials, so that the engineering team can rush here by the end of the month.

Zhao Dahai responded with a full mouth.

…

After returning home, Chen Ling first went to the brigade and informed Wang Laishun, saying that he would use a tractor these days and go to Wangbacheng to buy building materials.

This tractor was kept in the village and few people used it. Wang Laishun asked him to drive it as he wished, and he could fill up the oil whenever he didn’t need it.

After coming out of the brigade, Chen Ling went to the outside of the village again. Near the orchard, he found a place to lay a few ground covers, hoping to catch the wild pigeons.

Then he entered the Sun Moon Cave.

When Chen Erzhu wanted to trouble him, he thought of stealing eels at home at night.

Chen Ling was so angry that the booth he built the greenhouse, all the cement pillars, plastic film, thatched shawls, and even beams and wood, were all delivered to the cave.

Now that I have chosen to enter the cave, there are still many things that can be used.

As for the unused ones, you can also sell them in Wangbacheng this time.

Wangbacheng is a county north of Lingyun.

It was originally called Wang Mang City, but after Wang Mang was defeated by Liu Xiu, it became Wang Bacheng.

But these 'Wang Bacheng' are all called verbally, and you can't shout in front of people on the other side.

Wangba lives in the city of Wangba, this is a curse word.

It is very likely that people will be beaten if they hear it.

Now it is called Gucheng County, it is rich in minerals, there are more coal mines, and there are naturally more rich people.

In the past, lime, bricks, etc. were all bought there, but now there are local ones in Lingyun, and the quality is not as good as there.

After making a decision in his heart, he packed up his things in the cave, and stacked them in the open space deep in the woods, and Chen Ling withdrew.

October 18, he got on the tractor and went to Wangbacheng.

Wang Bacheng is not close, if you walk on the mountain road, you will have to walk more than 40 miles across the mountains.

On the other hand, if you drive a tractor to the main road, it will be farther, and you have to go around another circle and walk more than 70 miles.

Therefore, Chen Ling can only run back and forth once a day.

The first two days went well. I sold more than half of the unused plastic film and other items, leaving only a few spare parts.

After two trips in two consecutive days.

I didn’t expect to be targeted on the third day.

His grandma's, actually met Roadhog.
