slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 130 The Big Turn

Taking the wallet and going out, Zhou Xinhui couldn't help thinking about her mother's abnormality today.

After entering the night market, Zhou Xinhui turned her head and looked on both sides of the road, looking for melon stalls while walking, and at the same time muttering: Where will there be watermelons in the night market at this time, and none of them are on the market yet, besides how expensive the melons are now ah".

The melons in this season are firstly not tasty, and secondly, they are expensive. In the past, Zhou Xinhui's mother would not buy them anyway. Today, when Zhou Xinhui was suddenly asked to buy melons, Zhou Xinhui was naturally surprised.

After walking for about forty years, Zhou Xinhui found a melon stand, so she walked towards the melon stand.

"Boss, how much is your melon per catty?" Zhou Xinhui asked, looking at the stall owner who was playing with his phone with his head down.

The owner of the stall was none other than Cang Hai. Cang Hai immediately raised his head when someone asked about the melon: "Fifteen a catty!"

"It's you?"

Both Zhou Xinhui and Cang Hai exclaimed at the same time after seeing each other clearly.

Seeing Cang Hai, Zhou Xinhui's face blushed suddenly, and she suddenly felt that she didn't know where to put her hands, she looked very cramped.

Cang Hai couldn't let it go, seeing Zhou Xinhui froze for a moment and then returned to normal.

"You live here?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Xinhui raised her head, looked carefully at Cang Hai with her eyes, and saw that Cang Hai's clothes were still clean and tidy, and his complexion didn't look like he had suffered any hardships.

"Why are you selling watermelons?" Zhou Xinhui asked.

Cang Hai smiled and said, "I grew it at home, so I came here to see the market."

"How's the market?" Zhou Xinhui asked again.

Cang Hai said: "It's okay, by the way, you want to buy melons, how about I give you a melon to taste."

"No, no!" Zhou Xinhui waved her hands quickly and said.

After seeing Cang Hai, Zhou Xinhui didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment. She didn't know what it was like to be mixed.Seeing Cang Hai transform from an urban white-collar worker into a melon farmer, Zhou Xinhui felt her heart ache.

"Why don't you go to work?" Zhou Xinhui said, "You are very talented. If you keep doing architecture, you will become a very good architect. Why don't you stop selling melons and find a new unit? Find a unit, I heard that Mr. Guan still wants you to continue to study in graduate school, why don't you continue to study, I will find a way to pay for the tuition."

Hearing Zhou Xinhui's words, Cang Hai couldn't help being stunned for a moment. After recovering from his senses, he said with a smile, "I'm really fine. I'm free now. I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. Which graduate school should I go to?"

"It's not a problem to sell melons all the time." Zhou Xinhui became a little anxious, and opened her mouth to continue persuading Cang Hai.

Cang Hai waved his hand: "Selling melons is pretty good. Besides, I don't sell melons every day. After a few days, I won't sell melons if the business is not good. I will switch to wholesale."

Zhou Xinhui heard that this is not a melon dealer!

"You are still like this, you don't listen to me at all." Zhou Xinhui looked at Cang Hai quietly and said, "Although she always has a smile on her face, she has the right idea in her heart."

Cang Hai didn't know how to answer this, because the tone of the words was a bit ambiguous. Cang Hai didn't like this tone, and he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Xinhui. His current girlfriend was no longer Zhou Xinhui, but Zhou Xinhui. It's called Lu Shu.

Ha ha!

Cang Hai smiled awkwardly.

Seeing Cang Hai's appearance, Zhou Xinhui sighed: "You have to plan for your future, you can't just be a melon dealer for the rest of your life."

"I said, I grew it in my own field, a new variety of watermelon." Cang Hai touched his nose and explained.

Zhou Xinhui said, "It's up to you!"

Seeing that Zhou Xinhui was about to leave, Cang Hai quickly stopped her: "Wait!"

"what?"

"Don't you want to eat melons? Anyway, I grow them at home. I'll send you one back to taste." Cang Hai picked out a smaller melon while talking, put a towel on his shoulders, and carried the melon with both hands off the shoulder.

"Master Zhang, please take a look at the stall for me, and I will come back as soon as I deliver a melon."

The owner of the fried rice stall next to him nodded in response: "Okay, Xiao Cang, you can go, I will keep an eye on the stall for you."

Just like that, Cang Hai followed behind Zhou Xinhui with a melon on his shoulders. One of them looked like a lady from a big family, and the other looked like a long-term worker in the old society. They walked towards Zhou Xinhui's rented house one after the other.

The place Zhou Xinhui rented was not far from the night market, only 5 minutes away. When she arrived at the door, Zhou Xinhui opened the door, and Cang Hai carried the melon in, placed it at the door, turned around and wanted to say something to Zhou Xinhui before leaving.

"Cang Hai is here, come in and sit down!"

Zhou Xinhui's mother pushed the door open when she heard the commotion outside, and greeted Cang Hai with a smile on her face.

Zhou Xinhui's mother's enthusiasm not only startled Cang Hai, but also shocked Zhou Xinhui. Both of them didn't understand what kind of medicine this person had taken wrongly. Before this person saw Cang Hai, she would pick her nose up. Picky, I can't wait to kick Cang Hai across the Pacific Ocean, and now there is such a sudden 180-degree turn, I can't stand it alone!
Cang Hai stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, then looked at Zhou Xinhui's mother, and murmured in his heart: That's right, it's still this person, why is he so enthusiastic today, and suddenly changed his sex, no, it didn't turn so fast Yes, is it possible that this woman is holding something bad in her heart?

Afraid that I would ask her for melon money?Cang Hai thought for a while and felt that this reason was the most plausible, so he felt relieved.

"What are you doing standing there, kid? Look at Cang Hai, who is sweating profusely. Hurry up and get a bottle of water. There's ice in the refrigerator!" Zhou Xinhui's mother asked softly at Cang Hai, "Cang Hai?" Hai, what do you drink? Juice or mineral water!"

This voice directly made Cang Hai almost goose bumps all over the ground, and he said quickly: "Auntie, I have something to do, so I won't drink water. I still have a melon stall over there, so I can't stay for long."

"Are you selling watermelons nearby?" Zhou Xinhui's mother asked knowingly.

Seeing Cang Hai nod her head, Zhou Xinhui's mother smiled and said, "It's better to start a small business than to work for others. Every penny you earn is your own...".

Cang Hai was immediately dumbfounded, and now he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Xinhui was also dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in her mother's gourd.

"Sit, sit, Cang Hai, you're sweating profusely, it's not too late to turn on the air conditioner before you leave," Zhou Xinhui's mother continued to say enthusiastically.

Now Zhou Xinhui's mother thinks that Canghai is a good child, of course, the house in Canghai is good. Since seeing Canghai last time, Zhou Xinhui's mother has spent two or three months in a daze. He inquired about everything he could, including how Cang Hai bought his house, whether he had a loan, and how his Mercedes-Benz car came about.

I also know that Cang Hai lives in this house several times a year, usually a young girl looks after it.On the first day of junior high school, Zhou Xinhui's mother was worried, but when she found out that Qi Yue lived there, and that Qi Yue didn't often live in that house, she was relieved.

Not only that, but she also took an excuse to look at a house of similar type. Although the house size was a bit smaller, with one room and one room less than the one in Canghai, Zhou Xinhui's mother was already very satisfied with this house Of course, if it was changed to Cang Hai's set, this one would naturally like it better.

Now Zhou Xinhui's mother looked at Cang Hai with a smile on her face, thinking that she and her daughter would move into a big house and live a comfortable life.

At this time, Cang Hai, who had no father or mother, was simply the best son-in-law candidate in the world in the eyes of Zhou Xinhui's mother. Thinking about his own daughter marrying in the past, there would be no parents-in-law to take care of, and no troubles from older sisters-in-law and younger sister-in-law. Brothers are burdened, every penny of the family is given to their own daughters, and myself and my husband have become the only elders of the Canghai family. Isn't that a beautiful day?
Looking at the wealthy son-in-law, Zhou Xinhui's mother forced Cang Hai to sit down.

"How is it, how is the melon selling?"

"So-so" Cang Hai now felt that he was sweating more than when he was carrying melons.

"Sell slowly, don't rush, it's only been a few months now, and it's not time to eat melons, how can everything go well in business?" Zhou Xinhui's mother laughed.

Cang Hai was very unsuitable, and a villain in his heart jumped and shouted: Oh my god, just kill me and forget it!

On the mouth, he responded humbly: "It is like this."

Seeing Zhou Xinhui handing a bottle of mineral water in front of him, Cang Hai said thank you, took the water, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

"Now you specialize in selling melons?"

Cang Hai said: "No, I usually plant land in the village, and I have secured some land and planted some melons to sell."

Cang Hai thinks about this farmer who has always looked down on him, so it is probably not so awkward for him to say that.

"Farming is good, farming is good. Now, whoever is capable will go to the countryside to secure a piece of land. I heard that the country will build a large farm in the next step. This is a good thing!"

I go!Cang Hai thought to himself: This is also possible?

To describe Cang Hai's current mood in four words, it would be that the donkey is poor. The farmer can't let the person in front of him look down.Then escape by shit?

Zhou Xinhui couldn't stand it anymore, and said to her mother, "Mom, Canghai still has a stall in the night market."

After speaking, he said to Cang Hai: "You go back, by the way, I will give you melon money!"

When Cang Hai heard that he didn't need melon money, he immediately stood up and said goodbye to the mother and daughter, and slipped out the door with Xiao Pao.

Standing downstairs, Cang Hai shook his almost drenched clothes, and let out a sigh of relief: "I'm going, it's as if I followed up with the Japanese Gendarmerie! What kind of crazy is this old woman smoking today!"

Seeing that her daughter let Cang Hai go, Zhou Xinhui's mother said dissatisfiedly, "Cang Hai gave us such a big melon, why did you let him go like this. Go, give him the money for the melon."

"I want to see you off!" Zhou Xinhui walked towards her door.

Looking at the dilapidated house I live in now, thinking about the set I have seen, and thinking about the set in Canghai, which is even bigger and decorated to a higher level, Zhou Xinhui's mother said to her daughter: "I know you I still think about Cang Hai in my heart, I won’t stop you, I will be happy if you are happy, go chase Cang Hai back.”

Zhou Xinhui stopped in her tracks, swayed her body slightly, and did not turn her head: "It's impossible between us."

"Is there anything impossible? How do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried it? I don't believe in your relationship for seven or eight years. Cang Hai doesn't miss the past at all? There is an old saying that men chase women across mountains, and women chase men through layers of gauze, let alone mine. My daughter is so beautiful," Zhou Xinhui's mother said angrily.

Zhou Xinhui said: "That's why it's impossible, you don't know him!"

After speaking, Zhou Xinhui closed the door with a snap.

Zhou Xinhui, who returned to the house, did not continue her work, but lay down on the bed, buried her face in the quilt, and sobbed softly.

Zhou Xinhui's mother stood in the living room and muttered, "I don't believe in this evil anymore!"

After thinking about it, he reached out and picked up the wallet on the table, opened it to look at the money inside, saw a few red bills, grabbed the wallet in his hand, opened the door and walked out.

When closing the door, Zhou Xinhui's mother glanced at her rented house with distaste, and spat, "This crappy house costs more than 4000 a month, isn't it unknown?"

After finishing speaking, he closed the door with a snap, and happily walked towards Canghai's melon stall with the wish of living in a big bright and sunny house.
