Chapter 137

Catching voles

One plague, one month's time.

How terribly contagious is the plague? Among the people who had direct contact with the patients, the director died, but another doctor survived. The casualty rate was 70%. You can imagine how terrifying it was.

Anna is now the most important person in the entire hospital.

"Where's the coffee? I said I wanted it to be 70 degrees. Is this 70 degrees?" She said, slamming the cup on the table and continuing to write her report.

The nurse was disappointed and left with the coffee.

Yes, the death of a dean and two cases of plague infection must be reported to the superiors, and the person who wrote the report must be Anna.

Who told her that she was the one fighting on the front line and had the hardest time?

However, even though all the doctors and nurses in the health hospital are standing outside on standby, once the report is submitted, she will be that unknown elementary school teacher again.

"Tsk!" Someone whistled, but Anna frowned and ignored it.

Leng Qi not only had coffee in his thermos, but also something else in his hand. "Come on, bear biscuits. Your favorite Russian flavor. They're as sweet as free candy."

Eating something sweet and then kissing is such a great feeling.

"Minister Leng, please don't interfere with my work."

"No, no, I'm here to comfort my subordinates. After all, our comrades from the Armed Forces sacrificed their lives. And Comrade Anna gloriously fought against the invasion of the virus. It's cause for celebration. Come on, take a sip. Make sure the temperature is just right." Leng Qi said, his hand already on Anna's shoulder.

Of course Anna knew that he was coming, so she must have cleared out all the people beforehand.

With a snap, something flew into Leng Qi's hand. "Draw the curtains. Don't interfere with my work. Finish this quickly and leave quickly."

"Comrade Xiao An, you can't just deal with me like this?" What kind of posture is this, she is drinking coffee and eating bear cookies in the front while writing a report, and he is working in the back?

He wants to talk about romance. What is he?

What is this the "mianshou" that the ancients talked about?

"You two, isn't that how you act?" Anna sneered. "You claim to be single every day. I asked you and you said you have family. If I catch you cheating and destroying someone else's marriage, you'll go to jail. If you want to have fun, hurry up and leave. I don't want to look back and see the face of the person who wants to send me to jail."

After she said that, Leng Qi lost interest. "Okay, okay, I'll just sit here and watch you for a while, okay? And, if you want me to be happy, don't mention my marriage."

"My ex-husband probably thought the same thing. Marriage is a cage and he wanted to be free from it immediately. But he was very respectful to me until we officially broke up."

Even the first time we had sex, it was holy and serious.

But Anna now realizes that it is probably a common practice for men to act serious in front of their wives and behave like hooligans in front of other women.

After all, wives are revolutionary comrades, while women outside are bitches in their eyes.

Leng Qi looked for a long time and the beautiful Miss Anna looked as if she didn't want to talk to him.

After taking two puffs of his cigarette, he stepped on the cigarette butt and cursed, "You are just a fool."

You know, Lengqi is tall and handsome. When he was in Hongyan, many women in the song and dance troupe lined up and knocked on his door quietly in the middle of the night.

Of course, the army has its own rules, so he doesn't dare to act recklessly, but you can imagine how popular he is.

How could a primary school teacher save face after being played like that?

"If I come to see you again, I'll be a dog." Leng Qi said hatefully before leaving.

As proud as Leng Qi was, he decided never to see Anna again, not even once.

Ever since he discovered that Little Egg was not as well-behaved and cute as he appeared to be, Nie Gong has been very worried.

Chen Lina had to go to the farm in the morning because Chen Lili's newly born little sister caught a cold, and it was He Laner's birthday, so she planned to go over as a visit.

In the past, workers would never participate in such activities.

But today, in order to observe this little egg who dared to shoot his father in the head.

Besides, Miss Chen was pregnant. In her own words, it was the first time in her two lives. In order to protect Miss Chen and express his joy, Nie Gong went with her.

Although Miss Chen still ignored him and Sandan was wary, at least Erdan cared about him and Nie Weimin shared the same hatred with him.

I have to say, having more children is good, because there will always be one who is loyal to you.

"This house is so beautiful, it's exactly the same as our suite." Erdan said with emotion.

When it comes to people getting rich, it happens really quickly.

However, at the beginning of last year, Chen Lina deposited her own 6,000 yuan into a credit union, and then members of the farm took out loans one after another to buy small weaving machines. The woven cloth was then purchased by He Min, and every family now had money.

So when they wanted to repay the credit union, the credit union told them that they could extend the repayment period for one year and they only had to pay one more year's interest.

So Wang Hongbing raised funds together, the farm added some subsidies, and the members used the money to repair the new house, and the house was built.

When I entered the room, it was warm.

"Firewall, is it comfortable?" He Lan'er asked the lady to sit down, stared at her face for a long time, and said, "Lina, you have become whiter and fatter after being covered up all winter."

Before Chen Lina could say anything, Erdan shouted, "My mom is pregnant and is going to give birth to a little girl for us."

"Really?" He Lan'er was so scared that she almost fell to her knees. "No way, Lina, are you really pregnant? You're pregnant and you're still driving and walking such a long way?"

"Yes, she is pregnant. It has been almost three months."

Chen Lili was feeding the younger one in the bedroom next door. When she heard this, she quickly said, "Lina, come in quickly. Let me see if you are really pregnant."

Chen Lina went in.

She doesn't have a belly yet, and her breasts are flat even when she's full, but it's different when she's pregnant, she's as proud as a little peacock.

"How dare you walk with such big steps? You don't even mention wearing more clothes. Also, you have to be careful during the confinement period. Don't be like me. I didn't take good care of myself during the first confinement period.

Another lady, but this time Chen Lili stopped being naughty and let whoever wanted to hold them hold them. Apart from feeding them, she didn't bother to pay attention to the two crying little girls.

Of course, her desire to have a son was even more urgent.

After examining it for a long time, Chen Lili said with certainty, "It's over. The girl you are pregnant with this time must be a lady."

"Really? That's great." Chen Lina was very happy. She hugged the girl and looked at her. She felt so distressed that she said, "Let's go. I'll hold my girl and go out for a walk."

There is now a grocery store in the farm. The one and a half year old girl likes to go to the grocery store.

Three cents for five candies, plus two cents for a bag of melon seeds. The little girl ate the candies, licked them, and kept saying "Thank you, auntie."

Chen Lili got off the kang and helped He Lan'er cook. She was actually very upset and kept saying, "Lina will definitely give birth to a daughter-in-law. I gave birth to two daughters-in-law. I couldn't be more accurate."

There are a lot of vegetables in the farm now. Sichuan people like to eat hot pot. They cook all kinds of vegetables such as spare ribs, mutton, cabbage, and rice noodles in a pot. It tastes so good.

Moreover, the more people there are and the more dishes there are, the more delicious the hot pot will taste.

He Lan'er ordered hot pot base from the Sichuan family next door, and the hot pot was bubbling. She said, "Lili, can you stop being so sarcastic? Your sister is just in need of a concubine. If she really has one, she will be very happy."

"It's really strange. You gave birth to two concubines, I gave birth to two concubines, and Lina also gave birth to a concubine. I think, mother, the problem lies with you. We all inherited your genes."

He Laner got angry, chopped the kitchen knife on the chopping board, and said, "What's wrong with having daughters? I gave birth to two daughters. In such a turbulent era, if my second daughter hadn't brought me to this border, I might not have survived. I am proud of having two daughters, so what?"

Well, this is also a disguised way of praising Chen Lili.

"Xiaohong is so well behaved, and the eldest and second daughters are still young. As long as we train them carefully, they will all be talents. Maybe one of them will turn into a son or a He Lanshan. Lili, if you keep thinking about your son like this, and always envy your sister for having a better life than you, I'll tell you if you really get sick."

"I'm not jealous of Lina, I just feel unbalanced. I was the one who wanted to be the nanny. When Lina saw the worker, she said she wanted to get married, and I helped her get married. After all, I am the one who contributed the most to their marriage, and you guys always squeeze me out."

"You have to ask others to praise your achievements. If you praise yourself, it's worthless," said He Laner.

Chen Lina was actually just outside the window, and she found it quite amusing to hear her sister and mother bickering.

The era when one family lived in a cave together is finally over. Gradually, the members moved from underground to above ground.

Moreover, everyone had stoves to use, and every household was weaving cloth. They could make a lot of money by sending the cloth to the textile factory. The day of collective prosperity had arrived so soon.

The laborer is going to take his three sons to the fields to catch voles today.

In a large field like this, the most annoying thing is field mice. They dig holes everywhere and eat the roots of crops. It's like digging up graves and kicking down widows' doors. They are more terrible than other pests.

If you catch three field mice now, you can exchange them for one work point. If you catch thirty field mice, you can exchange them for a big pumpkin.

Erdan is clamoring to eat some squash, so now he's happily preparing to go trap voles with his dad, taking a trap.

However, Nie Weimin had many personal friends on the farm and refused to go with him. In the end, it was Nie Gong who took the two children to trap voles.

In the winter fields, the snow was half a foot high. The three of them were all wearing thick leather boots with high barrels, and they tied their ankles tightly, otherwise the snow would get into their pants and their feet would get wet.

"See? Let's stand on the field and observe. Is there a pile of snow over there that is higher than other places?" The worker put one hand on his waist, standing on the endless snowfield. In Erdan's eyes, his father was like a giant.

"Yes, Dad, I saw it," said Erdan.

"Dandan, guess what that is?"

"The field mouse's nest." Sandan said, his hands on the shed.

The father and his sons walked up to take a look and saw that it was indeed a huge hole with several exits.

Erdan put a clamp in each hole, rubbed his hands together and said, "Dad, is this okay?"

Nie Gong asked Dan Dan, "Do you think this is okay?"

Sandan turned around and said with certainty, "Dad, this rat's nest is really big!"

On the plains, snow can best show the topography. This is a large area of ​​earth mounds, which proves that there must be a big hole underneath.

He pulled up all the clips that Erdan had just blocked the door, and according to his own ideas, he first put one in one hole, stepped back two steps, put another one to the left of a clip, then went back to the hole and put another one in another hole, and then said, "Okay, Dad, smoke it."

Erdan was carrying a pile of dry wheat straw on his back. He rubbed some of it with Lao Nie's zui and poked it into the largest hole. Wow, after a while, smoke started to come out of several holes.

Sandan jumped up and down behind him, licking his tongue and saying, "Come on, come on, field mouse."

Sure enough, a vole that was exhausted by the smoke came out with its head raised. As soon as it stepped out of the hole, there was a snap. There must be other voles behind it. One of them couldn't stop the car and ran away. It didn't see that there was no one on the left, which was a good exit. As soon as it turned a corner, there was another snap and it was trapped.

Now, the voles didn't dare to come out from this hole, but they had no choice because it was so suffocating inside, so after a while, they came out from another hole.

Two more snaps, and then two more.

Good guys, a fire, and four voles.

Erdan was stunned. He hugged Sandan's head and kissed and rubbed it. "I thought it was great to catch one, but you caught four at once. Egg, you are really my dear little egg, stinky bad egg, ah, I love you so much."

Sandan licked his lips and said, "Quickly untie the field mouse and tie it up. Let's continue catching it and exchange it for two big squash for Mom, okay?"

Erdan was even more aggressive this time, and rushed around in the field, following Sandan's instructions to set the traps and light some firewood. Soon, all the chirping live field mice were strung together in a line.

"Dandan, how are your studies going lately?" Nie Gong originally planned to teach his little son a lesson about catching voles, but he didn't expect that the young boy, despite his young age, had so much experience in catching mice, so he had to change the conversation to a heart-to-heart talk.

"My mother is unhappy." Sandan said, "I am unhappy."

Now it was the worker's turn to be stunned. "I see your mother is always very happy, why would she be unhappy?"

"When my dad was away, I slept with my mom every night."

"But you are already eight years old. It is not right for an eight-year-old to sleep with his mother. I tell you, a man should be upright. A man who spends all day in his mother's arms will never achieve anything great. Do you know why?"

"Because, times are changing. Older people always have rigid views. If you always listen to your mother, you will become a blind person. Dad, am I right?"

Well, it seems that preaching is useless for this little egg.

Nie Gong then said, "It is inevitable for a couple to quarrel and have conflicts. I just yelled at your mother. Besides, your mother has already forgiven me. You can no longer hold a prejudice against your father. Do you understand? You have to look at this matter objectively and not always think that your father is bullying your mother."

"I only know that you hit her, but she didn't fight back."

Even a kind-hearted person like Sandan, if he gets beaten by Xiao Jinbao, he has to call Erdan to help him vent his anger.

Mom pushed Dad out of the car, so she must be angry, but she didn't do anything, so Dandan felt unbalanced.

Because he always felt that although his father was older, his mother was more tolerant.

"Okay, I'll apologize to her first, then I'll apologize to you, okay? Nie Weijiang, your way of handling things is a bit too extreme. There are no completely good people or completely right things in this world. You are still very young, you shouldn't be so extreme."

The old father tried to persuade his youngest son earnestly, but he would not listen at all.

Moreover, Sandan started to shout as he walked, "My mother is not unhappy because of this. Sometimes she gets up at night and always says, what should I do? What should I do? I can't do it alone. I think she must be worried because there are great difficulties for all of us to face. Do you understand, Dad?"

Nie Gong thought about it and agreed.

Chen Lina is a person who has lived multiple lives, but her leader passed away at the beginning of this year, and the Republic has been extremely uneasy in the past few months.

However, it must be a very big deal if it could keep Comrade Xiao Chen awake at night.

The worker then said, "Okay, I will talk to your mother about this. Dad believes that I can solve the difficulties she is facing, okay?"

Sandan was jumping in front with a bunch of field mice in his hand, not paying any attention to the worker.

"I am your father, Nie Weijiang. You just answer when I speak. Do you understand?"

"I only recognize my mother, not you." This directly severed the father-son relationship.

"But your mother is my wife. If I say that Nie Weijiang is disobedient, I'd better sell him. Let's see if your mother will agree." Nie Gong said seriously.

Sandan screamed in fear, and the dimples on his face disappeared due to fright.

"As long as you behave yourself and throw away the alloy gun that Uncle Leng gave you, Dad won't let your mom sell you." Seeing that his son was scared, Nie Gong couldn't help but comfort him.

Sure enough, little Egg was not afraid of anything else but being sold. He became much more obedient when he walked again.

Nie Gong originally didn't have much feeling for children, but after he found that the older ones were getting more and more naughty, he became more and more looking forward to the one that Miss Chen is pregnant with now.

He really needs a well-behaved, cute and cuddly baby right now.

On the snowy field, little Nie was running as hard as he could.

The new plastic greenhouse has a steel frame and specially thickened plastic, with a uniform height of more than three meters. Such a greenhouse can cope with the most severe cold weather. Of course, it can also absorb the most abundant light and heat. The cotton felt that stays overnight can also be pulled and released by itself, which is very advanced.

"Aunt, where is my sister Xiaohong?" Nie Weimin walked into the greenhouse and asked Sun Duoyu who was working inside.

Sun Duoyu said, "She is picking mushrooms in the mushroom greenhouse. If you want to find her, go there."

Nie Weimin was about to run again, but he looked back at Sun Duoyu, stopped and said, "Aunt, why do I feel like you've become much prettier now?"

Sun Duoyu also thought she was pretty, so she didn't dare to laugh out loud. She covered her mouth and said, "Don't laugh at your aunt. Go quickly."

Nie Weimin stuck out his tongue, waved his hands, acted like a ghost, and jumped into the mushroom greenhouse.
