Chapter 198 Picking Melons
Cang Hai opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to touch his side and found that there was no one, turned his head and saw that there was nothing beside him, so he called out: "Lu Shu!"

"What are you doing?" Lu Shu's head quickly came in from the door.

"Didn't you say you were taking a nap?" Cang Hai rubbed his eyes, rolled up from the bed, reached the door and stretched out his hand, trying to drag Lu Shu into the bedroom.

Lu Shu hid with a smile, and only then did Cang Hai realize that Lu Shu was holding that guy, Iron Head, in her arms.Tie Tou is clinging to Lu Shu like a squid.

"What are you doing with it when you have nothing to do?" Cang Hai was very depressed, thinking that Tietou's treatment was a bit high.

Lu Shu said: "What's wrong with it, it's worse than you!"

Cang Hai scratched the back of his head after hearing this. Although he felt speechless, he opened his eyes and found that his girlfriend was not there. up.

"It's so embarrassing!" Cang Hai said with a smile.

Lu Shu burst out laughing.

At this moment, Li Licheng's voice came from outside the door: "Haiwazi, Haiwazi! Are you awake?"

Li Licheng didn't push the door open like before, because he knew that there was someone on Canghai's bed, and he was afraid that he would encounter something embarrassing when he opened the door, so he yelled outside the room first to avoid embarrassment.

"Wake up, Grandpa Li, come in," Cang Hai replied.

Li Licheng opened the curtain and walked in, stood at the door and nodded to Lu Shu, then asked Cang Hai, "Haiwazi, when are you leaving?"

"What time is it?"

Cang Hai stretched out his head to look at the sun outside while asking, and saw that the shadows falling on the ground outside were very skewed, so he realized that he had slept for at least two or three hours.

I thought to myself: No wonder people say that sex is a bone-scraping knife.

Li Licheng opened his mouth and said, "It's almost 04:30 now, and the sun is running out. Everyone is waiting for you. If you catch some today, you can transport them back and forth three times."

Cang Hai nodded after hearing this, agreed with Li Licheng, thought for a while and said, "Let's go!"

As he spoke, he took a piece of clothing and threw it over his shoulders, picked up the straw hat hanging on the coat rack and stuck it on his head, ready to go to Fenghuanggou.

Seeing this, Lu Shu pulled the iron head and followed behind Cang Hai.

"Stay at home first, help Second Grandpa Li prepare something for dinner, and follow the car when the weather cools down. The road is too hot now." Cang Hai opened his mouth and said when he saw that Lu Shu was coming.

Lu Shu laughed and said: "You look down on people too much. Let me tell you that at this time in Shanghai, I often go out to handle cases in a strict police uniform. Don't worry, I'm not as expensive as you think."

Hearing this, Cang Hai thought that he was going to dry some on the way. When he arrived at Fenghuanggou, the hot spots in the kiln were limited, so he might as well take her there this time, so he nodded and agreed that Lu Shu would go to the melon field with him. .

Lu Shu pulled Tie Tou to the door, and Tie Tou was happy to go out, holding the door frame with one hand, grinning and grinning, expressing that he didn't want to stand in the cool kiln under the sun.

"What's the matter, don't you want to go out?" Lu Shu actually squatted down and started coaxing Tie Tou softly.

When Cang Hai saw it, he immediately said: "It usually won't go out until it's cool outside, and enjoys it more than you. Watching the tablet at home, sleeping, this is its little life."

"Then what should we do?" Lu Shu raised her head and asked Cang Hai.

This question almost caused Cang Hai to stagger: "If it doesn't want to go out, just leave it at home. If you want to take it with you, follow my instructions and follow the cart to Guadatian on the second trip. That's when the guy is happy to go out."

"never mind!"

After thinking for a while, Lu Shu let go of the iron head and followed Cang Hai out of the kiln.

Cang Hai sighed and walked out the door.

As soon as I went out, I found that all the old and young men in the village were standing under the shade of the trees at the entrance of the village. The livestock carts were also ready, and there were not a lot of six carts.

"Ping An, when did you come back?"

What Cang Hai didn't expect was that Ping An, who had left the sender in the morning, rushed back.

Now this silly boy is holding two cattle carts on the left and right, one is pulled by an ugly donkey, the other is a big green mule, this is the cart of Li Liren's family, because Li Liren is a cook, and now he is going to prepare it for the big guy Dinner, so he can't drive the car on this first trip, Ping An has to do it.

The silly boy Ping'an smiled and said: "I came back at noon, and I wanted to talk to you, but the teacher and doctor refused to let me, saying that you were taking a nap, and that there was a new second sister-in-law, and it was not good for me to enter the kiln."

A new second sister-in-law made Lu Shu blush, and also amused Cang Hai: "New second sister-in-law? The old second sister-in-law, this is Lu Shu, you can just call her sister Lu."

"Hello, sister Lu," Ping An called Lu Shu happily.

"Hi, safe!" Lu Shu said.

"Everyone is here, so let's set off. It's getting late." Cang Hai saw that all the people had arrived, so he had nothing to say, so he took the reins of the ugly donkey from Ping'an's hand and signaled to Lu Shu sat up.

The convoy was about to set off, Shi Jie ran out of the kiln with Yan Li, and shouted at the convoy: "Wait for me!"

Cang Hai took the reins of the ugly donkey, looked at the two and asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't you ask you to help in the village?"

Shi Jie and Yan Li ran to Cang Hai's cart, and they climbed onto the cart with hands and feet together.
"Let's go with me to play, besides, there is my sister at home."

Cang Hai has nothing to do with these two guys. After all, they came here to play with their sister, not to work. Hearing what they said, Cang Hai thought that he would take it with him, so he said to sit down. After shaking the reins, the ugly donkey followed the team of cattle carts out of the village.

After leaving the village, I climbed over a ditch and climbed up the mountain ridge. Immediately, the scenery in front of me became magnificent. The ground in front of my sight was only the sky and the thick soil. There were only two colors between the whole world, the tile-blue sky and the yellow The yellow land stretches to the end as far as the eye can see.

This kind of scenery made Lu Shu, who had just arrived, feel relieved.

The convoy turned up the hill and went straight along the ridge. Suddenly, Hu Shijie, who was leading the way, raised his voice and began to sing.

"Blossoms in the mountains, Hong Yanyan...".

The rough voice seemed to have a kind of magical power, Li Licheng was soon attracted and sang along, and even Cang Hai also pulled his throat and sang along loudly.

The folk songs sung by men in Northwest China are generally about the relationship between men and women. Although they are a little flamboyant, they don't sound obscene. Instead, they have a sense of boldness and naturalness, full of strength.

After singing a song, Lu Shu looked at Cang Hai and said, "I didn't expect your singing to be quite good."

Cang Hai smiled: "No one here can sing folk songs."

Singing in such an environment is not called singing, you have to rely on your throat, and over time, even an ordinary voice can be practiced to a certain extent.

Lu Shu's words were heard by Qian Ximei, Li San's grandma who was driving in front, she turned her face away with a smile, and said to Lu Shu, "Haiwazi's singing is not good, and the smell of roaring is not right, sister of the Lu family, This time I will stay for two more days, and I will teach you how to sing when I have a chance."

"You need to teach me how to use it!" Li Lida smiled and turned around to say something to his wife.

After speaking, he asked Lu Shu, "When will you serve the wine?"

When the villagers in front heard it, they also asked questions. In the eyes of these villagers, they both slept in the same bed, so it was the most natural thing to arrange wine and get married, and for the villagers Alcohol is a big deal, and it doesn't matter whether there is a certificate or not. As long as the wine is served, the marriage is recognized by everyone, even if there is no certificate.

This is also a place where the concept is not the same as that of the coastal cities. What the coastal area pays attention to is certificates, but here everyone pays attention to the display of wine. I have never seen a marriage certificate in my whole life, and I don't know what the Civil Affairs Bureau does.

Lu Shu couldn't help but startled when she asked this question, her expression soon became unnatural.

Cang Hai thought that Lu Shu was embarrassed, so he opened his mouth and said: "We are still young, and we don't plan to set up wine so early. We really decided to set up wine. Can we invite everyone to have wine? It's not just wine, You have to prepare this red envelope too."

"No problem, no problem!"

The big guy said happily after hearing this.

The old people like the feeling of newcomers in the village, which will make them feel that the village has grown a bit, besides, there have been no young people in the village for many years now marrying their wives, and they usually marry out.

The reason is simple, the village is poor.There are no girls from outside who are willing to marry in, let alone girls, and even the widows in the neighborhood are not willing to marry into Sijiaping Village to suffer.As the old saying goes, if you marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat, no one is willing to marry a daughter in if you can't eat enough.

The big guy was talking lively, and Cang Hai also laughed happily, but when Cang Hai turned his head, he found that Lu Shu's face was a little embarrassed, so he reached out and grabbed Lu Shu's hand He put his palm close to her ear and whispered: "Don't mind, they are just asking."

"It's okay!" Lu Shu smiled and held Cang Hai's palm with her backhand.

The two just held hands like this, biting their ears in a low voice, the big guy turned his head to see the appearance of the young couple, so he smiled knowingly.

The only one in the team who couldn't see it was Shi Jie, and this kid couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Old sister, what kind of excitement do you think you've got together!"

Along the way, folk songs accompanied me, and it seemed that the summer heat had weakened a bit. Although the sun above the head still made everyone on the cart sweat and drenched their clothes, the big guys were still in high spirits. .

As soon as the scooter team entered Fenghuanggou, they immediately felt a bit cooler. Not only the body and eyes but also the countless green grass and green trees in the valley stream made them feel extremely refreshed.

"I didn't expect there to be a cave in such a valley. It's like a paradise." Lu Shu looked around and praised with emotion.

Cang Hai has heard things like this a lot, no matter who comes here for the first time, he will say it over and over again, but this time it was said from his girlfriend's mouth, which made Cang Hai feel very happy in his heart.

Ping An, who was driving behind Canghai's scooter, said like offering a treasure: "Sister Lu, when I have time, I will find you some wild fruits, which are both thirst-quenching and delicious."

Ping An, a naive boy, is still in the habit of not seeing pretty girls, and he wants to flatter and show off when he sees them.

At this time, Hu Shijie suddenly shouted: "The melon field is here!"

The whole convoy stopped immediately.

Lu Shu raised her head and saw huge watermelons growing on a gentle slope towards the sun. Countless big watermelons were lying across the hillside like big green rocks, and at first glance it was almost impossible to see the edge. Feel.

"So many, much more spectacular than the pictures taken," Lu Shu said with a smile.

Cang Hai laughed when he heard this, and opened his mouth and said loudly: "Big guy, find a shady place to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then pick melons!"

Before Cang Hai finished speaking, Shi Jie pointed at a melon and said loudly: "Look, that melon can move!"

Shi Jie's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention to the direction of his finger.

Cang Hai just wanted to say that you are an idiot, right? How can a watermelon move!

But when Cang Hai looked at the watermelon, he suddenly realized that he was wrong, that watermelon could really move, rolling back and forth, left and right, in small increments under his gaze.

"Gourd baby? No, it's watermelon baby!" Yan Li happily expressed her conjecture.
