Chapter 9: The Ruins

Le Lang sat on the side and Saburo held a small pot of chicken vermicelli and ate leisurely, even having a share of three o'clock on the side, lying next to his broken tile basin and biting the chicken bones sonorously.

Le Lang was eating chicken vermicelli while thinking, is that a large piece of land in the backyard to raise or plant something?

"Do you know where to sell chickens, ducks and sheep?" After thinking about it, Le Lang asked the few people who were eating.

"What, you want to raise it too?" Shen Min pulled several bowls of chicken vermicelli, a little supportive, and asked after listening to Le Lang.

"Well, there's a big piece of land in the back, I want to grow something, and then raise some chickens and ducks, buy a sheep, and drink goat's milk, don't you say?"

"Well, well, it's good to raise chickens and ducks, and if you want to eat, you don't have to go out to buy them, so you don't have to worry and effort." Naruto said as he leaned over while nibbling on a large chicken leg. But, what do you say, kid? The chickens and ducks haven't been raised yet, so I want to eat them.

"Chickens, ducks, sheep are available in the town, I saw it when I went to sell fish, but there were more things in the market, and it was time to catch up with the market in a few days, so I came to pick you up." The old seven on the side said.

"Alright, that's it."

・・・・・・・

"Toot toot, toot toot."

"Who, it's not dawn yet? I don't let people sleep, and there is no public morality! As soon as the sky was bright, there was an endless "dood" noise outside the house, which did not let people sleep peacefully at all, Le Lang was annoyed, put on his clothes and ran out to see.

He opened the door in annoyance, and was about to scold, but saw Lao Qi sitting on his broken liberation truck and honking wildly.

Seeing Le Lang come out, Lao Qi shouted at him: "Ah Lang, hurry up, otherwise the good things will be picked up." ”

Le Lang suddenly remembered that he had told him a few days ago that he was going to buy something in the bazaar. hurriedly went back to the house and called San Lang, and he didn't even brush his teeth and wash his face in a hurry.

Sitting in the car, Lao Qi saw San Lang and asked Le Lang, "San Lang is going too?" ”

"Let's go and see it, I'm not at ease when I'm alone at home."

Lao Qi looked at it, didn't say anything, and drove the broken car to the ruins. I didn't bring it out at three o'clock, and kept it to look after the house, which was the result of Saburo's good life.

Now the village is connected to the cement road, and the speed is fast, but the location of Daxi Village is remote, and it still took nearly an hour to get to the town. When I arrived in the town, the sky was already full bright, there were more pedestrians on the road, and the market was close to the market, and the vehicles could not enter, so Lao Qi parked the car outside the market.

People come and go on the market, selling food, selling clothes, everything, Lao Qi took Lelang to a place specializing in selling poultry and livestock.

As soon as I got outside, I saw a large number of chicken and duck seedlings for sale, some of them were packed in baskets, some were packed in handbaskets, and there were a lot of chicken and duck seedlings, and the chatter was very lively.

Le Lang slowly walked in front of a chicken and duck seedling seller, squatted down, and looked at the little chicken and duck. The seller of chicken and duck seedlings was an old man, and when he saw someone coming, he smiled and asked Le Lang, "What do you want to buy?" ”

"I'm going to buy some chickens and ducks." Le Lang looked at it and said to the old man. San Lang also learned from Le Lang to squat on the side and looked at the little chicken and duck curiously, and one hand kept touching the fluffy hair.

"A few." The old man took out a small cage from the back, the cage was made of bamboo, which was specially prepared for some people who did not bring anything to buy chickens and ducks, of course, it was also money, but it was very cheap, only five or six yuan would be fine.

"Catch me twenty chickens and twenty ducks." Le Lang thought about it, and it was almost the same as twenty.

The old man packed the chickens and took out a small cage, which could have been mixed together, but the cage was obviously too small.

"What duck do you want, I have Muscovy duck, half Muscovy duck, and vegetable duck here," the old man asked Le Lang with the cage.

"Muscovy duck, of course," Le Lang said with a smile. Muscovy duck is good, not only big, but also nourishing yin and kidneys, and it tastes good.

After buying chickens and ducks, Le Lang was about to leave, but he saw that the middle-aged woman on the other side was selling chickens in the basket and looked a little wrong.

"Auntie, this is fire**." Le Lang asked at the middle-aged woman. This turkey looks ugly when it grows up, and it cries "gurgling", and it is very fierce, and Le Lang has been bitten many times when he was a child.

"Yes, there are a lot of hatches at home this time, so I'll take them out and sell them, do you want to, if you want it, it's cheaper for you."

"Okay, I'll ask for them all," there were only a dozen in the basket, and Lelang simply asked for them all. However, the middle-aged woman had nothing to pack, so Le Lang had to buy a cage with the old man on the side, and this was the end of the matter.

Le Lang, Lao Qi and San Lang happened to be carrying a cage one by one, and they shook it one by one, which was a bit like the Eight Flags of catching chickens and teasing dogs and walking birds in the Manchu Dynasty, but people walked birds, and a few of them walked chickens and ducks.

"Baa..."

Le Lang wandered all the way, came to the place where the sheep were sold, but he was not very satisfied, he wanted to buy a ewe that had just given birth to a lamb, so that he could drink the goat's milk immediately, and there was no need to wait until the sheep was raised and the lamb was born. But there is no such good thing in the world.

Walking slowly all the way, to the end, I saw a ewe feeding two lambs, it seemed that she had not been born for a long time, and there was a person next to her who was squatting on the side sullenly, and I didn't know that I thought he was also feeding.

Lin Songming was very distressed, he originally wanted to raise a sheep to generate income, but he didn't expect the mother-in-law at home to be chattering all day long, saying that there was no way out for raising sheep, and saying that raising sheep was a waste of money and food, and after giving birth to a lamb, he became a beneficiary, and kept urging him to sell the sheep, he was about to be nagged by the mother-in-law at home to go crazy, so the surname Suo brought the sheep to sell, trying to be quiet. However, he has also raised this sheep for a while, and he has a little feeling, and he is really reluctant to sell it, so he sits on the side and sulks.

"Hello, do you want to sell this sheep?" Le Lang saw Lin Songming squatting on the side and was silent, so he asked him.

Lin Songming looked at the ewe, a little reluctant, but then remembered the nagging of the mother-in-law at home, he couldn't help but shudder, ruthlessly, and said, "Sell." ”

In the end, the two of them traded for 800 yuan, Lin Songming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking about the past few months, in order to raise a sheep, he had endured the poisonous nagging of his mother-in-law at home, and now he thought about it like a dream.

Le Lang led the sheep, a little happy in his heart, because there was goat milk to drink at night, he always felt that goat milk was better than milk, mainly because he would get hot when he drank milk, but not when he drank goat milk. Next to San Lang holding a small branch also drove the lamb in a good way, Lao Qi held a cage in one hand, the chickens and ducks in the cage kept screaming, they had to put these things in the car first, and then continue to see if there was anything to buy.

Put the things in the car, leaving Lao Qi to take care of them, Le Lang took San Lang and continued to shop.

Walk left and right, and buy something from time to time to taste the fragrance, but the poor old seven and a cat smell the smell of sheep dung and chicken and duck feces floating next to the liberation truck, and it is miserable.

Le Lang and San Lang walked and ate and watched, and came to a corner. There was an old-fashioned bicycle parked in the corner, and there was a cardboard box on the back rack of the bicycle with some rags in the carton, and there were two puppies that had just opened their eyes, fluffy, wrinkled, and cute, a bit like a lion cub, very pleasant.

San Lang was too young to see the contents of the box, and could only hear the small "whooping" sound from the puppy in the cardboard box, and he was itchy when he heard it, and hurriedly said to Le Lang eagerly: "Uncle Ah Lang, Uncle Ah Lang, let me see, let me see?" ”

The dog seller was a middle-aged man of about fifty, dressed in simple clothes, and the wrinkles on his face formed a deep "three" character, a typical honest farmer with his back to the red clay and his head facing the sky. He saw San Lang's eager face, and couldn't help but show a generous smile on his face, hugged the cardboard box, and said to San Lang, "Come, come here, take a slow look." ”

San Lang rushed over, looked at the little guy in the cardboard box, and liked it very much, "Uncle Ah Lang, Uncle Ah Lang, this puppy is much better looking than three o'clock, he was thin before three o'clock, there is no meat, and he is not good-looking at all." ”

After a period of recuperation, San Lang has thrown away all kinds of the past and returned to the child's innocent, lively and cheerful surname, his eyes are full of brilliance, not the bleak, dazed, sad, and heartbreaking eyes that Le Lang saw in that dark corner at the beginning.

Le Lang touched San Lang's head and said to the dog seller with a smile: "How can this dog be sold." ”

The dog seller seemed to be a little hesitant, hesitated for a long time, looked at Le Lang, and slowly stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty, well, it's okay, but can I take this box away, you see, I didn't bring anything over・・・・・・" Le Lang felt that fifty was acceptable, although it was nearly twice as expensive as an ordinary earth dog, but it did look better.

"Five hundred," after a long time, the dog seller held back the two words, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Five hundred," Le Lang looked at the dog seller in surprise, could it be that there was a cunning heart that deviated from the countryside under this generous face. There are some dog dealers who deliberately raise the price when they see that customers like it, but this is too ruthless.

"Five hundred," Saburo shouted with wide eyes, he knew how much he could buy for five hundred.

Le Lang put away his smile and looked at the dog seller opposite, the dog seller didn't know if he was too excited, and his whole face was red. The old bicycle next to it was old, but it was wiped quite clean inside and out, and the dog seller looked honest and simple, and he didn't look like the kind of person who likes to deliberately raise the price, let alone a dog dealer. Suddenly, Le Lang caught a ray of helplessness and shame flashing in the eyes of the dog seller, and he was relieved, it seems that this is also a person with a story.

(A chapter was delivered on time, and someone asked me if it was true that a lychee tree only grows five or six and is the size of a fist.) I said, yes, this is what I found when I went with my friends to steal lychees. On our side, there is a variety of lychee called "Blue Bamboo", which is fist-sized when it reaches maturity, and this is just an ordinary variety. Lychee tastes good, but if you eat too much, it will be hot, and the same is true for lychee wine. οΌ‰
