slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 207 Thinking
Ping An drove the car twice in the morning, and Cang Hai twice in the afternoon. After waiting for the sun to set, after dinner, Ping An took over the job of driving the car again.

The big guy has been busy working until ten o'clock at night, and this is considered to have completed today's work, because the big guy worked hard, so it took one more trip than originally expected.

"Haiwazi, what are you doing?" Li Liren said hastily when he saw Cang Hai's butt tilted onto the flatbed.

Cang Hai said strangely: "I'm going home, now it's already this time and I don't want to go home?"

Li Liren immediately asked again: "What should you do here after you go home?"

After speaking, the old man pointed out something near the tent.

Cang Hai glanced at it, and saw that there was nothing valuable at all, except for two pots worth a little money, a stove made of gasoline barrels, a panel made of old wood, or a few barrels, even if someone stole them, If you take it back, you won't be able to sell it for much money except for your own use.

"How much are these things worth? I really don't want to sleep in a tent anymore. I miss my bed." After Cang Hai finished speaking, he wanted to climb into the car again, ready to go home with everyone.

Li Liren said: "Even if these things are worthless, the badgers won't come tonight?"

"Today..." Cang Hai almost blurted out, saying that the badgers will not come again tonight, but Cang Hai swallowed the words back into his stomach.

"How can I guarantee this!" Cang Hai said against his will.

Li Liren said: "That must be true. If the badger comes and I'm alone, how can I catch it?"

After hearing this, Ping An said with a smile: "Second Grandpa, how about Second Brother go home, I'll watch the melon fields with you here!"

"Okay, you'd better go back honestly." Cang Hai smiled wryly and patted Ping An on the shoulder.

He said so on the lips, but his heart was full of slander. He felt that Li Liren's second grandfather was a little too inconsiderate. He only saw his girlfriend here, and he was so hot that he let him give up his girlfriend to accompany him to watch watermelons here. The rest of the melons were eaten up by badgers, and Cang Hai was more than happy to cling to Lu Shu.

To change the way of thinking, Canghai can't push it out when he sees the melon field at night. First of all, the melon field is Canghai's own, and other than him to look at it, no one else has any obligation to help Canghai look at it.

Although Ping'an can actually be watched, Li Liren doesn't want to watch the melon fields with Ping'an, because the old man thinks that when the badgers come, he will direct Ping'an to drive away the badgers instead of directing Cang Hai to drive away the badgers. easy.

Safe enough to be obedient, he waved his hand at Cang Hai: "Okay, second brother, I'm leaving."

"I'm going back!" Lu Shu also waved at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai sighed helplessly, and said to Lu Shu, "Let's go! You've been tired all day, go back and take a shower and have a good rest."

After seeing off the big guy, Cang Hai felt that his whole body smelled bad, so he pretended to go into the tent, but actually took out several big plastic bags from the space.

Taking the plastic bag out of the tent, Cang Hai took out two and handed them to Li Liren.

Li Liren took a look at the plastic bag curiously: "Why do you give me this thing?"

"bath!"

"Use this thing for bathing?" Li Liren directly threw the plastic bag in his hand on the table next to him: "Can't we just go down and wash it?"

"No, we still have to use this water tomorrow. If you go swimming, won't everyone eat your bath water tomorrow?" Cang Hai said.

Li Liren felt dumbfounded when he heard it: "Your son is poor and fastidious, do you think this bird or beast has never shit or urinated in this pond?"

Cang Hai said: "I didn't see it, but I saw you going into the pond to take a bath. I won't move the food tomorrow, and Xu Sheng's group probably won't spend money to buy food."

"Okay, okay, I won't go into the pond to wash the head office, shall I?" Li Liren felt that he had no choice but to take a bath in Canghai. In his opinion, what's the point of taking a bath? Such a big pond can still be done just because of him, Li Liren took a bath Is it polluted?
Cang Hai didn't care about him, and took the plastic bag directly to the edge of the wall, filled a large bag of water with a plastic bag, hung it on a tree branch, then picked up a small stick, and poked a few small holes in the plastic bag , so that a simple bath bag is completed.

After a little flushing with water, Cang Hai washed off the sweaty smell on his body with botanical bath liquid, filled another bag of water and rinsed it, and finally smelled it on his arm, and found that the smell of washing was delicious. Even after washing, he put on a pair of clean underpants and went back to the tent to sleep.

Li Liren imitated Cang Hai's manner and also rushed. When Li Liren got into the tent, he found that Cang Hai was already lying down.

Li Liren lay down, pulled a small corner of the thin quilt to cover his belly, blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Haiwazi, are you asleep?"

"No, Second Grandpa, what do you want?" Cang Hai opened his eyes.

Cang Hai is going to sleep, but how can he sleep in the current situation? His girlfriend has already arrived here, but they are one in the village and the other looking at the melon fields. It makes this short distance so close to the world. Now Cang Hai actually has a feeling of Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

"Let me tell you something," Li Liren said.

"Say it!" Cang Hai didn't turn around, anyway, he couldn't see the other party clearly in the dark tent.

"I want to tell you about your mother. I discussed it with Brother Hu in the afternoon and decided to tell you," Li Liren said.

Hearing this, Cang Hai understood, it's not that the villagers didn't want to let him go back, and the excuses they made to see the melon fields were not the main thing, the main thing was to let Li Liren tell him about his mother.

"Why do you think of saying this today?" Cang Hai asked in confusion.

Li Liren said: "Your third grandma and Shi Wei talked about this matter today. I overheard it by chance. I think it's best to tell you about it. We old guys discussed it and thought you should know about it. , no matter how you say she is your mother, although we don't like it, but you and her are mother and child after all... ".

Li Liren seemed to be trying his best to explain why everyone hid the news from Cang Hai.

The reason why people in the village don't like Yan Meixin or Zhao Meixin is very simple. It's not because she remarried, but because she has never visited Cang Hai in these years, and she has not given Cang Hai any help in life. As a mother Too unfeeling.

The folks don't want to take advantage of Yan Meixin, they just feel sorry for the child Cang Hai who has gone through a hard journey, and feel that Yan Meixin and her new husband both have a class in the county town, so where can they live?Therefore, the old people in the village, like Hu Shijie, were full of disdain for Yan Meixin for abandoning Canghai, and they even didn't want to mention this person at all.

The folks actually got the news as soon as it happened, but everyone just pretended not to know, the men didn't mention it, and the women would gather together from time to time to chatter, but they were reprimanded a few times by their own men. I won't mention it any more.

Not to mention others, even a person with Yan Meijuan's temperament would not want to mention her cousin, let alone others.Of course, Yan Meixin and Yan's family also had a bad debt, and no one could tell who was right and who was wrong.It can be said to be a mass of paste.

Cang Hai said directly: "You want to tell the news that she passed away in an accident?"

"You...know all of it?" Li Liren was startled, and then asked in a low voice, as if it was some kind of big secret.

Cang Hai said: "I know everything!"

"Don't blame us for keeping this matter from you, it's just that everyone doesn't want to mention it, and don't blame your third grandma and Shi Wei for talking about it...".

Cang Hai smiled and interrupted Li Liren's words: "It's okay, this is not some ulterior secret, I won't be angry if the third grandma tells anyone, because it's the truth. It's not surprising that Shi Wei wants to know, people always have curiousity".

"That's good, that's good." Li Liren said: "We are just afraid that you will create a barrier against us."

"Second Grandpa, what are you talking about? I am from Sijiaping Village. I have always been taken care of by everyone. Everyone has been very poor. I remember that when I was studying in the county, you and Second Mistress only If I go to the city, I will go to the school to stuff me with a few boiled eggs, and the folks are the same, and I will always bring me something to eat when I go to the county. Well, how can I remember and hate everyone. To be honest, when I heard the news, I was stunned for a moment, more because I didn’t know what it was like in my heart. There was not much sadness, but more hesitation or confused".

Cang Hai paused for a moment, and opened his mouth again in a calm tone: "To be honest, I don't even remember what she looks like at all. To me, she is just a word: mother, and even just a symbol, but this symbol is nothing. When someone showed me the photo, the first sentence that popped out of my heart was: So my mother looks like this... ".

Thinking of hearing the news of his mother's death, Cang Hai would have a feeling of self-doubt, thinking that he didn't feel too much grief when his biological mother passed away, and whether he was too cold-blooded and ruthless as a person.After thinking about it, Cang Hai felt that he was neither heartless nor cold-blooded. He believed that he treated his friends with sincerity, treated his teachers with respect, and respected his elders. He never hurt others for no reason, even if there was such a thing as space.But he couldn't convince himself in his heart, it seemed that this thing sometimes became a demon in Cang Hai's heart.

Li Liren sighed after hearing this: "Oh! It's all evil."

Li Liren actually knew a little better, he knew that Yan Meixin's husband who married later did not want Yan Meixin to have contact with Cang Hai, for fear of being stuck with Cang Hai's oil bottle.But this is not suitable to say to Cang Hai. From the perspective of the older generation, there is nothing wrong with it. Raising other people's cattle in one's own pen, there will always be conflicts in one's heart. This is human nature.

"I don't think about it now, and you don't have to worry about it. The past is over. We should live well and enjoy the new life that is coming!" Cang Hai said with a smile.

Cang Hai didn't want to mention it, and Li Liren didn't want to mention this bad thing, so he said with a smile: "Indeed, the good days of our village are coming soon, by the way, someone proposed marriage to your Uncle Wei again, and this time it's a Huanghua girl, although she is almost 40 years old, she has never been married.”

"What?" Cang Hai joked with a smile: "Uncle Wei, is this old tree blooming new flowers?"

Li Liren also laughed when he heard it: "Did your son say that about your Uncle Wei! But your Uncle Wei didn't agree to meet, he said he didn't want to do it now, maybe he planned to save more money for his two sons Marry a daughter-in-law".

"I think Uncle Wei should go to see him. After the village's income is improved, Changsheng and Changhao are afraid that they won't be able to get a wife?" Cang Hai said.

Li Liren said: "Things are not as simple as you think. After marrying a wife, things at home are much more complicated. Changsheng and Changhao's matter of marrying a wife may cause waves."

There is an old saying that only with a stepmother can there be a stepfather. There are few women in the world who are willing to do their best to take care of other women's children.

From this point of view, Wei Wenkui's consideration is not unreasonable.Li Liren lived such an old age and naturally guessed the reason, and knew that Wei Wenkui was not wrong to think so.

It turned out that Cang Hai thought things too simply, thinking that if the family had money, things would be solved easily, but he didn't know that some things would become more troubled just because of having money, and the more money the trouble would be, the bigger the trouble would be.In today's society, because of money, it's nothing for brothers to turn against each other, and it's not just a family where father and son are enemies, not to mention the relationship between stepmother and stepson that has no emotion at all.

The grandfather and grandson teased Wei Wenkui for a while, and turned their heads to sleep. Cang Hai didn't know how Wei Wenkui was sleeping, but he really slept well. He told Li Liren about his feelings, and Cang Hai seemed to be relieved. The knot is normal, and I sleep until dawn, and my sleeves are full of vigor.
