slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 121

After eating, Cang Hai, Ping An and Shi Wei each lay on a deck chair, hid in the shade under the vines, chatted while drinking tea.

While chatting, Cang Hai heard footsteps coming from behind, turned his head and saw Li's second grandma Liu Aifen walking towards him.

"Second Grandma, what's the matter?" Cang Hai asked Liu Aifen with a smile on his side.

Liu Aifen laughed and said, "I'm here to settle accounts with you kid!"

Cang Hai was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "What kind of debt are you asking me for?"

Liu Aifen said: "Your tiger head caught my chicken, and even rushed into my chicken coop to catch it!"

Cang Hai was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Is this really the case?"

While asking, he stretched his head to look for the tiger's head around, but he didn't find the shadow of the tiger's head after searching around.

Liu Aifen smiled and said: "Isn't it true! Your third grandma saw all the commotion, and I also heard the commotion in the chicken coop, so I went out to take a look. I saw your tiger With my little rooster dangling from its head, it ran away without a trace, I yelled a few times from behind, and this little murderer ran away without even looking back."

Cang Hai didn't think that Liu Aifen would tell lies, but he was a little confused when Hutou suddenly rushed into Liu Aifen's chicken coop to pick up the chicken.

Thinking of this, he scratched the back of his head, and said puzzledly: "Why did this guy think of going to catch chickens today!"

At this moment, Pingan turned his head and found the shadow of the tiger's head, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the tiger's head, and then said to Cang Hai, "Second brother, where is the tiger's head!"

Cang Hai turned his head to one side, looked in the direction of the tiger's head, and found that this guy was pinned to the door of the kitchen, with half of his forehead exposed, looking like a peek-a-boo, with most of his body covered. Hiding behind the kitchen door, one could tell at a glance what a shameful thing he had done.

"Second Grandma, wait a minute, I'll ask."

Said Cang Hai stood up.

After hearing this, Liu Aifen waved her hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just want to tell you, tell Tiger Head not to catch chickens in the future, that's enough, that's it, I'm going back."

After speaking, Liu Aifen smiled at Cang Hai and the others, turned around and walked towards the downhill path.

Hutou saw Liu Aifen leaving, so he came out from behind the kitchen door, squatted on the ground, grinned at Cang Hai, narrowed his eyes, and kept wagging his tail behind him, as if he had done something Like something amazing.

Walking to Hutou's side, Cang Hai squatted down and stretched out to touch Hutou's head: "What are you doing stealing the chicken from Second Grandma's house?"

After hearing this, Shi Wei laughed and said, "Is this tiger head stealing? It's just rushing into someone's chicken coop to grab it, okay?"

Cang Hai turned to Shi Wei and asked, "Did you let it do it?"

Shi Wei immediately gave Cang Hai a blank look: "What are you talking about, I have nothing to do to let Hutou rush into other people's chicken pens to grab chickens?"

Seeing that it wasn't Shi Wei, Cang Hai turned his gaze to Ping An, and Ping An was stunned for two or three seconds before he understood Cang Hai's meaning, and quickly waved his hands: "I didn't let it do it!"

Cang Hai thought for a while and felt that it was impossible for these two people to do such a thing, so he asked the tiger head, "Where's the chicken?"

Hutou heard the words and turned around and ran into the kitchen. Cang Hai followed behind Hutou, and saw that the guy ran to the side of the firewood pile in the kitchen. The little rooster that was dying but not dead was revealed.

"It really is you!" Cang Hai reached out and took the chicken out of the haystack, and touched the chicken. The chicken is not dead, but it is not far from death. Death is at most a quarter of an hour.

"It's nothing, why are you stealing other people's chickens, oh, no, it's stealing other people's chickens!" Cang Hai asked, turning his head and looking at the tiger head who was asking for credit.

Shi Wei looked at the chicken in Cang Hai's hand, then thought about it, and asked Cang Hai: "Do you think this chicken flew over from the kitchen at noon?"

After hearing this, Cang Hai took the chicken and looked around: "How do I know this?"

Pingan opened his mouth at this time: "Well, it's that chicken. I remember that a small piece of the chicken's wing was cut off. It's that chicken. The comb is a little bit raised."

Cang Hai said to Pingan: "You really remember clearly!"

Ping An replied happily: "Well, well, I remember it was this chicken."

At this time, Shi Wei said: "Then you can't blame Hutou. If you said you wanted to eat this chicken, Hutou probably kept it in your heart, so you caught it back."

"Really?" Cang Hai scratched the back of his head after hearing this, then lowered his head to look at the tiger's head with squinted eyes and put his ears to the back of his head, and couldn't help muttering.

Ping An didn't think too much, he just looked at the chicken in Cang Hai's hand: "Second brother, do we have chicken to eat tonight?"

Hearing Ping An's question, Cang Hai also became happy: "Isn't that right, we can't send this chicken back!"

After speaking, he put the chicken into Ping An's hands: "Go boil the water and pluck the hair!"

Seeing Cang Hai leave the door after speaking, Shi Wei asked, "Assign the job to Ping An, what are you going to do?"

Cang Hai said without looking back: "I'm going to send chicken money to the second grandma. I can't eat other people's chickens for nothing. By the way, Shi Wei, you go to the vegetable field at home to pick some green and red peppers. Remember to eat them every day. Three of them, and pick a little more Chaotian pepper, this thing enhances the flavor, let's have braised chicken nuggets at night."

Looking at Cang Hai's back, Shi Wei laughed softly and cursed: "I've been thinking about how to eat all day long!"

After uttering these words, Shi Wei reached out and took off a basket from the ceiling hook in the kitchen. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Shi Wei found that there was still something in the basket. The kind of big fish caught at that time was not much, just a piece of fish, about ten centimeters wide in the palm of a hand.

Putting the fish jokes on the table, Shi Wei was going to pick peppers with a basket.

Seeing the fish joke, Ping An asked Shi Wei, "Sister Wei Wei, can I eat fish tonight?"

Shi Wei smiled and asked: "One chicken is not enough to eat, you still want to eat fish?"

Ping An said embarrassedly: "I want to eat fish again."

After hearing this, Shi Wei picked up the fish, found a basin, filled it with water, threw the fish pieces in and soaked it: "Then eat it."

Seeing the fish soaked in the water, Ping An happily sat down in front of the stove and started to light the fire.

Cang Hai walked to the door of Li Liren's kiln, and shouted into the kiln: "Is there anyone at home, is Second Mistress at home?"

"Yes, Haiwazi, come in!"

Cang Hai just entered the door, and suddenly the kiln door next to him opened, Li Lida came out of the kiln, saw Cang Hai standing at the door of Li Liren's house, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Hai Wazi?"

Cang Hai smiled and waved the [-]-yuan note in his hand: "Tiger's head has a chicken from Second Grandma's house, so why don't I send her some money?"

"Fifty for a chicken? This chicken is good to eat," Li Lida said jokingly.

Cang Hai smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go to the ground to remove weeds for a while." Li Lida said, picked up the straw hat hanging on top of the hoe at the door, stuck it on his forehead, and then carried the hoe.

Seeing that Li Lida was gone, Cang Huo then reached out his hand and opened the curtain to enter the kiln of Li Liren's house.

When entering the kiln, Liu Aifen had already come out from the back room, saw Cang Hai and said, "You son, you are just a chicken, why do you still take the money?"

Seeing that Cang Hai was still holding 50 yuan in his hand when he entered the room, Liu Aifen said.

Cang Hai said: "The money must be given to you, and this chicken didn't fall from the sky, besides, it's completely Tiger's fault...".

While talking, the curtain at the door rang again, and the third grandma Qian Ximei entered the room.

"Hey, Haiwazi, is this sending money?"

"Third grandma!"

Cang Hai greeted with a smile.

Qian Ximei smiled at Cang Hai, then turned around and pulled a bench and sat down.

Liu Aifen waved her hand and said, "How can I ask for money from Haiwazi!"

After speaking, he said to Cang Hai: "Haiwazi, you have to take this money back, or your second grandfather will scold me when he comes back."

Liu Aifen refused to accept the money because her family received too much care from Cang Hai last year. The couple earned nearly 2 yuan from Cang Hai. Li Liren was in charge of the big spoon, and Cang Hai paid the wages according to the market price. If she took the money, then Li Liren would have to scold her when he came back.

After hearing this, Cang Hai said: "One yard is worth one yard. It was my dog ​​who took your chicken, so I have to accept the money no matter what, otherwise I will feel very sorry.

But Canghai insisted on giving it, on the one hand, to eat other people’s chickens, and secondly, to continue to eat other people’s chickens in the future. Of course, it can’t be limited to the second grandma’s family, other people may have to accept it in the future. Care of 'tiger head'.

A free-range chicken, and it’s still a local chicken, must be more than 50 yuan in Shanghai, but a local chicken in the city does not have this price. It is only [-] yuan in the town. As for why a chicken is shipped It will be expensive when you arrive in Shanghai. That’s because the chicken has gone through a few hands from the countryside to the market, and there is also the cost of transportation. The combination will naturally increase several times. In short, in this matter, The citizens bought high-priced chickens, but the villagers didn't make much money, and the big money was taken away by second-hand dealers.

Instead of doing this, Cang Hai felt that it would be better to let himself eat it.

Liu Aifen was not willing to accept it, the two pushed for a while, Cang Hai put the money on the table, and ran back by himself.

Liu Aifen took the money and chased after him, but she couldn't catch up with Cang Hai, so she had to watch Cang Hai run away without a trace.

After returning to the kiln with the money, Liu Aifen said, "What's the matter?"

"I said second sister-in-law, you can keep the money. I think Hai Wazi gave it to you sincerely," Qian Ximei persuaded.

Liu Aifen thought for a while and said, "No, I have to send the money back. I don't want to talk about the chicken, let alone the folks in the village, but Haiwazi's help for us. I can't ask for the money."

After hearing this, Qian Ximei stopped talking, and she couldn't persuade her anymore.

Liu Aifen took the money and went to Cang Hai's house, and returned the money to Cang Hai. How could Cang Hai not give it back? When Liu Aifen returned home, Cang Hai sent the money back.

Because the 50 yuan was tossed back and forth several times, Liu Aifen really couldn't wear Cang Hai, so she kept the money.
