slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 142 Small Changes

After dinner at his godson's house, Cang Hai received a call from Zhang Heng. Hearing that Lu Yanzhi was going to visit his home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Cang Hai was a little bit blind.

For ordinary people, it is a great thing for the county magistrate to come to the house. Other families would definitely cheer and be excited about the news.

But this definitely doesn't include Cang Hai. Cang Hai doesn't want to ask for a loan from the bank, and secondly, he doesn't want to use Lu Yanzhi's name to make troubles, so he doesn't want Lu Yanzhi to run to his home.

Entertaining is a small matter, nothing more than spending some money, Cang Hai is annoyed that he has to be accompanied by the front and back, besides, people like Cang Hai are not used to that kind of officialdom atmosphere, for For him, if he has this time, he might as well lie in the shade of a tree and sleep.

Of course, you can only think about this in your heart, and it would be inappropriate to say it out. It would be even worse if it reached Lu Lizhi's ears. It is the biggest original sin for people to mess around in society. I don't know where If you offend someone, you may be caught in a stumbling block one day.

But it's hard to refuse Lu Yanzhi's coming to Canghai, firstly because of his status, and secondly because he should rent land for Canghai, he really helped.

Boo!When Cang Hai thought about it, he should stop swaying, and hurry home to get ready!

Just like that, he drove the small truck to the forestry farm in the town, and threw the small truck to the forestry farm. Cang Hai put on a motorcycle and drove directly to the village.

I hurried back to the village, and it was already past eight o’clock in the evening when I got home. I divided the things I brought back with each family. Cang Hai got some things and went to bed after ten o’clock. Sleep.

Waking up early the next morning, breathing in the fresh air of his hometown, sniffing the warm scent mixed with a touch of earthy and grassy aromas, suddenly put Cang Hai in a good mood.

After washing up, he stood in the kitchen and looked at Ping An who came to light the fire with a silly smile on his face, and the tiger head lying lazily on the ground, playing with a big bone in boredom, and staring at a pair of thieves-eyed monkeys sitting The iron head on the bench didn't know what to think, Cang Hai felt that this was the life he should live.

"What do you want to eat this morning?"

Cang Hai was in a good mood, and while rolling up his sleeves to prepare for cooking, he asked Ping An.

Ping An let out a silly laugh: "Vegetable porridge!"

"Look at your worthless appearance, just green vegetable porridge?" Cang Hai said with a smile: "Not only green vegetable porridge, but also something else today, I brought back some side dishes to accompany the porridge from Shanghai , it happened to be cooked for dinner this morning."

Hearing this, Ping An laughed a few times, then continued to lower his head to add fire to the stove.

Cang Hai unpacked some specialties he bought from Shanghai, and took some dishes that needed to be processed to the side of the sink to wash and prepare them for frying.

"By the way, Ping An, how is your kiln?" Cang Hai asked casually.

Canghai, my new kiln, had already looked at it when I came back last night. The craftsmanship of the master is good. The craftsmanship of these masters is quite passable. Of course, the interior is still empty and there is no furniture, but these are trivial things, and it will be done when there is time to add a little.

Not long after he came back, Cang Hai hadn't visited Ping'an's new kiln yet, so he opened his mouth to ask.

Ping An looked very satisfied with his new home, and said to Cang Hai cheerfully: "It's good to be in Xinyao, and I've dug a bathroom like your second brother, so I don't have to go to the toilet to smell that stench anymore. up".

"You're a clever kid," Cang Hai said with a smile.

I don’t know why, originally Canghai thought that the bathroom on his side was ready, which would definitely lead to a wave of villagers replacing the old latrines with bathrooms, but it’s a pity that the only person following in his footsteps is Ping An , the other families are either benevolent or feel that it is completely unnecessary. It seems that when they poop, they can't poop without smelling a little smell. It has been two years and they have not seen them have the desire to replace the toilet with the toilet.

"Well, I also think that Uncle Wei and the others come to my house to try the toilet from time to time." Ping An said with a simple and honest smile.

Cang Hai also became happy when he heard it. Cang Hai is not as honest as Ping An. Cang Hai thinks that people like Wei Wenkui obviously know the benefits of the bathroom. up.

"By the way, Second Brother, why didn't Doctor Shi come back with you?" Ping An didn't see Shi Wei, so he asked.

"There is a family in her town, and she will be back in a few days after going home. By the way, she will help me clean up a kiln after dinner. When the doctor and doctor plan to come back, they will move to my newly built house. live in the old kiln," Cang Hai said.

Ping An nodded and agreed with the matter.

Shi Wei told Cang Hai about this on the way back from the magic capital. Firstly, the cave dwelling where she used to live was a bit older. From time to time, a mouse or something would jump by at night, and sometimes she was very courageous. Some would even get out of bed, and Shi Wei was so scared that she couldn't sleep for a few nights.

Although Hutou went a few times later and the mice stopped coming, Shi Wei always felt that she couldn't sleep well.

Originally, there was no way to do it, but the old kiln of Cang Hai’s family was repaired, not only the old kiln was repaired, but also the bathroom was brought, so Shi Wei told Cang Hai, borrowing an old kiln of Cang Hai’s family to shelter .

Cang Hai is not a stingy person, so Shi Wei would borrow it if she said so, so Shi Wei planned to move when she came back from the county, and return the kiln she lives in to Li Lida's house.

Just gossip and deal with breakfast.

Cang Hai, who had finished his breakfast, left the job of washing the dishes to Ping An, while he was about to talk to Hu Shijie about how to receive Lu Yanzhi, the county magistrate, who was coming.

As soon as Canghuo stood up, Hutou immediately got up from the ground, trotted happily and followed behind his master, and Tietou also followed behind Canghai when he saw it, so one man and two beasts turned towards Hu Shijie. The family walked over.

The new kiln in Ping An happened to be on the right hand side after going down the slope. A platform has been dug out of the original slope, about [-] square meters. Although it is compacted, the fresh earthy atmosphere is still obvious. As far as the platform in front of the kiln is concerned, the new kiln in Ping’an is a bit simpler. The ground is not paved with blue bricks, but the soil is simply compacted. The structure of a new kiln is no different from that of an ordinary old kiln. A door with a width of [-] centimeters was built. Unlike other houses, a large piece of glass was inlaid on the door of the kiln.

This is a popular practice for new kilns now, but with Canghai as the base, the kiln door is not made of old-fashioned wooden frames, but an aluminum alloy frame, and the glass on it is not ordinary flat glass. It is the double-layer soundproof glass, which is almost a whole piece of large glass, which makes the kiln look much brighter than the old kiln in the village.

Next to the new kiln there is a small door of [-] centimeters. One can tell at a glance that it is a bathroom. On the west side of the bathroom, half of the wall has been shoveled out, which is reserved for future safety if you want to dig a new kiln.

Now the kiln door is open, because the self-leveling in the house has not been completely dry, the kiln door is being opened for ventilation, and a knee-high wooden board is placed at the door, which is mainly to prevent the village from running around. The chickens and ducks and so on, lest these things enter the dry house and leave footprints or something.

The kiln is naturally empty and blank, without a piece of furniture, but some treatments have been done on the walls.Because Hu Shijie's funds are limited, it is naturally impossible to make a solid wooden waistline like Canghai's. The waistline of Ping An's home is the same as other people's, using a cement pavement with a layer of plastic film on the outside. The selected ones are particularly rustic, and the red ones represent wealth and wealth with peony patterns.

Looking at the roof again, there are two lamps hanging on it, one is a round ceiling lamp, and the other is an old-fashioned incandescent lamp with a lampshade. Of course, there are few incandescent lamps nowadays, and they are all replaced by LEDs, which are energy-saving. new bulbs.

After looking at it, Cang Hai felt that the kiln in Ping'an was not bad, so he nodded and took Hu Tou and Tie Tou to Hu Shijie's kiln.

As soon as he passed Wei Wenkui's door, Cang Hai saw a group of old men playing mahjong in a stance under the shade of a tree.

Except for a group of gentlemen playing mahjong, a group of women gathered under the shade of a tree not far away, moving a small bench as if they were making cloth shoes.

When he was about ten steps away from them, Cang Hai smiled and said, "Are you all free today?"

"Haiwazi!"

Everyone greeted Cang Hai one after another.

Hu Shijie was sitting on the east side of the table now, when he saw Cang Hai approaching, he took a card, shook his head and threw it on the table: "Two barrels!"

"There is less work in the field now, and the weather is getting hotter. Let's find a leisure time. By the way, Haiwazi, how are your melons doing?" Hu Shijie asked while watching the cards thrown by others at the center of the table. road.

Hearing Hu Shijie mentioning melons, everyone raised their heads one after another, even the women who gathered to make shoes not far away looked at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai smiled and said, "It's okay!"

Although most of it was taken over by Qi Feng and Guan Qidong, Cang Hai is also a shameless person. He can't say that his melons are not selling very well. It's so embarrassing. I used to blow it out. Well, now that the melons are not selling well, isn't that self-defeating?

"Well, that's good," a group of people said one after another.

Everyone also guessed a little bit, after all, it is a melon that costs 15 yuan a catty, and Cang Hai didn’t rush to pull the melon out. They are all old people who have lived to become mature, and they can guess three or four points. Not saying it is just to save face for Cang Hai.In any case, this melon will always be sold, because it will be summer soon, and there is no reason why melons such as juicy and sweet melons cannot be sold as long as the price is right.

Finding a clean place, Cang Hai squatted down, reached out and stroked the forehead of the tiger lying next to him, Cang Hai said: "Grandpa Hu, today or tomorrow, the county magistrate Lu said he was coming Once, how do you say I will receive you here?"

Hu Shijie was taken aback when he heard this: "Lu Yanzhi?"

Seeing Cang Hai nod his head, Hu Shijie asked, "What is he doing here? I haven't been notified?"

"It was his secretary who called me last night, saying that he would come over to see my melon fields, and the notice said that it was either today or tomorrow. Seeing this situation, there is a high probability that tomorrow will come," Cang Hai said.

Hu Shijie was quite surprised when he heard it: "Come to see your melon field?"

Hu Shijie thought that even if Lu Yanzhi came to see the melon fields, he had to arrange a time. Why did he suddenly notify last night that he would come today or tomorrow?

You must know that in the eyes of villagers like Hu Shijie, Lu Yanzhi's level is amazing, and he is very busy every day. Suddenly, he came to see Cang Hai's family's melon, which reveals a different message.
