slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 236
Before dawn, the chickens in the village just crowed, Cang Hai turned over carefully from the bed, gently put the little girl's little feet down, then got out of bed, washed his face and brushed his teeth, put on a thin coat and jeans Go out, go to the kitchen and start cooking.

After a while, both Ping An and Shi Wei also came over. Ping An was preparing to light the fire, Shi Wei was going to pick vegetables from the field, and Cang Hai was cutting noodles with noodles. This morning's breakfast was noodles, and then poured beef soup halogen.

Usually Cang Hai would not eat like this, but today was different, the third uncle and his wife came back, and Cang Hai made this breakfast according to the taste of the third uncle and three aunts.

Waiting for the noodles to be put into the pot, the sky was already slightly bright, and I heard Cang Jing standing at the entrance of the kiln and shouting loudly.

"Lin Zhijing, Lin Zhijing, open the door, open the door!"

The knock on the door was like knocking on a big drum.

"I said you didn't hear what I told you yesterday, right? I didn't ask you to get up early to help with work...".

Cang Hai, Shi Wei, and Pingan couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Cang Hai can understand, Lin Zhijing has been running all day, if he can get up so early, it will be a ghost, which young people don't want to sleep in, not to mention the earthen kiln is really suitable for sleeping in, warm in winter Xia Liang is comfortable, but it is generally estimated that Lin Zhijing, who is sleeping in a real room, can't get up on time, even if there is an alarm clock next to him.

At this time, Shi Wei said to Cang Hai: "Go and ask Lin Zhijing and Cang Jing to come over for dinner."

"Ask them to eat? Cang Jing must have come to ask Lin Zhijing to eat at Uncle's house," Cang Hai said.

Shi Wei replied: "Your uncle's house? Your uncle's house hasn't planted any land this year. It is estimated that the whole family will go back to town this morning."

Cang Hai slapped his head when he heard this: "Why did I forget the stubble".

Cang Shigui's family really didn't plant any land in the village this year. Only the third uncle's family planted a few acres of ration wheat in the village. In the beginning of spring, it is more economical for the uncle to earn money than to buy grain from the abandoned crops. He thinks that he will go out to work for a month and the old couple will stay at home There is food for the whole year, so there is no planting.Uncle’s land has not been planted, and others will not help him plant it, and there is no shortage of his few acres of land in such a large place, so his original land has been desolate this year.

After speaking, Cang Hai stood up and walked towards his old kiln.

Just when I was about to talk to Cang Jing, the third uncle and the third aunt came out with a bowl, each of which was full of noodles, a few green vegetables and an egg, it was the couple's breakfast.Normally, this must be a hearty breakfast, but it’s not enough to put it on Cang Hai’s family menu. It’s too careless to add some green vegetables to the clear water white noodles.

"Third uncle and third aunt, didn't I tell you not to do it, the family also cooked for you." Cang Hai immediately said to third uncle and third aunt.

The third aunt Wei Qin smiled, squatted at the entrance of the kiln and slurped noodles while replying: "Hey, what's the trouble, I can eat it in four or five minutes with an electric cooker. Your side has a large population. , plus we don’t have to make a fuss, that’s all right, you go back first.”

The third uncle and the third aunt felt that there were a lot of people in Cang Hai's family, and Cang Hai's children had to work hard to cook when they got up early in the morning.People of the older generation are very particular, and they don't want to bother others too much, even if this person is their nephew that they often take care of.

"Don't do this at noon, I cooked a big pot of noodles at home this morning, I guess it will waste a lot," Cang Hai said.

The third uncle Cang Shiyuan smiled and said: "You don't have to cook at noon. Hu Bo said last night that there is a big pot of rice in the village. Uncle Li and Aunt Li are in charge of cooking, and everyone else is going to work in the fields. At the same time, I will learn about these machines from you. how to use!"

"Big pot of rice again?" Cang Hai asked.

Cang Hai returned to the village a bit late yesterday after being pestered by Lin Zhiyi, and he didn’t come in time to attend the village meeting. One less person and more of him would not affect the decision. Tickets are optional, so a group of folks raised their hands to settle the matter.

"Your Grandpa Hu has money now, so he naturally wants to be generous and change his previous reputation of being stingy," the third aunt Wei Qin said jokingly.

Cang Hai listened for a while, and was about to talk when he saw the curtain at the kiln door raised, and Lin Zhijing, who looked sleepy, was picked up by Cang Jing from the room, with a toothbrush in one hand and a cup in the other.As soon as I saw this, I knew I was going to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

"Second brother, third uncle and third aunt" Cang Jing immediately opened her mouth to call for someone when she saw Cang Hai and Cang Shiyuan couple when she went out.

Lin Zhijing might have just woke up and was a little dazed, so he froze on the spot.

"Call me, are you stupid?"

"Second brother, third uncle and third aunt!" Lin Zhijing subconsciously followed Cang Jing's address.

Cang Hai smiled and said nothing, and Cang Shiyuan and his wife also laughed.

Cang Jing took Lin Zhiyuan to wash up, Cang Hai remembered his business, and yelled at the two: "Breakfast at home, it's all cooked."

Without the third uncle and his wife, the noodles at home were indeed overcooked, Cang Hai really used his sincerity, otherwise the big pot of noodles at home would really be wasted.

"Thank you, second brother, we'll go over after we brush our teeth." Cang Jing was not very polite.

What Cang Hai didn't know was that Cang Jing had already wandered around his house. Cang Shigui's family drank stick noodle porridge this morning.How could Cang Jing like this, she felt that she had lost her appetite after just one glance, and at this moment, she heard Cang Hai calling to come home for dinner, so she skipped being polite and just nodded her head in response.

After living in the village for a few days, Cang Jing naturally knows that her cousin is very particular about food, and the cooking skills in the village are also top-notch. Although he is not as good at making banquets as Li Liren, but he has to talk about home-cooked food The delicacy is slightly more than Li Liren's.

And because she has been working along the coast, she is not used to the taste of the Northwest now.

Hearing her answer, Cang Hai turned around and went back to the kitchen. Looking at the side dishes on the table, he took a small bowl, picked up some meat, made a small bowl, held it in his hand, and walked towards the third uncle and third aunt's kiln. .

Arriving in front of the third uncle and the third aunt, Cang Hai transferred the meat and vegetables in the bowls to the couple's bowls respectively.

"You kid!"

The third uncle talked about Cang Hai, but his eyes clearly showed relief.

Cang Hai said with a smile: "No, there are still more at home. There are two of you in the first place. You must not make breakfast tomorrow, and eat it at home."

Wei Qin laughed and said, "I'll go back after taking it late tonight. This morning, Uncle Hu agreed to collect our wheat first. When you have time, you can dry the wheat for your uncle."

"Well, I see." Cang Hai nodded in response.

The third uncle and the third aunt must have something to do, and they can't stay in the village and wait for other people's homes to finish harvesting the wheat.

"I said third uncle and third aunt, you will definitely live in the village from now on, what about the houses in the town?" Cang Hai asked.

Cang Shiyuan said: "What should I do if I keep it? No one wants to sell it now, and even if someone wants it, the price is kept very low. Everyone is like that fish now. Those in the small town want to go to the county, and the county Some people want to move to the city and the provincial capital, and another group of inland people want to go to the coast, and the houses in our town are not in high demand.”

Cang Hai was right after thinking about it, as there were really not many buyers for the houses in the town.

"How is Henan?" Cang Hai asked casually.

This kid took the university entrance exam this year, and his grades in the exam were not very satisfactory. The admission letter has not yet come down. It seems that there is no hope for undergraduates.

"What is the name of a school in Shanghai? Pujiang College has issued an admission letter, but I just don't want to go because of the boy's appearance," Cang Shiyuan said.

As soon as Cang Hai heard the name, he knew that it was a three-ben college, which was a private college. In the eyes of Cang Hai, a famous university graduate, a school like this was naturally not on the table, but the faculty was still good, yes The three colleges jointly established with another famous university in Shanghai, of course, have similar teachers, but the learning environment is far worse, because the level of students is different, one is the top of the province, and the other is the college entrance examination There is no comparison between students who are not at the same level in terms of learning ability and understanding. Otherwise, everyone would not be scrambling to go to a class of universities.

"Take another year? Or transfer to a college in the province?" Cang Hai asked.

Cang Shiyuan shook his head: "I mean let him go to school. The conditions in the village are good. When the time comes, he can just go home after graduation. Why repeat another year."

Wei Qin was a little displeased when he heard that: "If you want to take the exam for one year, you can take the exam for another year. Anyway, the family doesn't lack any money now. Seeing that the conditions in the village are getting better, the big guys will soon have no shortage of money. , Let the child work hard for another year, maybe he will be admitted to a public university."

Seeing that the couple were looking at him, Cang Hai immediately said, "Auntie, it's up to you to make up your own mind. I think what you say makes sense. Third Uncle thinks that He Nan should go outside and experience it. The third aunt wants to go to a good university in Henan, and it is difficult to judge who is good and who is bad with these two ideas."

Cang Hai is not perfunctory to the third uncle and third aunt, but it is really difficult to judge, mainly because the village will soon have money, and the income in this year must catch up with the white-collar workers in the coastal metropolises. He Nan went out to gain experience It has become a very important aspect, and education has become secondary.Coming back to work in the village is definitely easier than going to work in the city, and the income is also higher.

But Cang Hai can't say that it's wrong to go to a good university, otherwise the domestic college entrance examination would not be described as a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Cang Shiyuan also knew that what his nephew said made sense, Cang Hai really couldn’t make up his mind about his cousin Henan’s life choice, this matter really had to be decided by his own family, and his son couldn’t complain anyway, but Cang Hai couldn’t make up his mind It's the same, the cousin is the cousin after all, it would be bad for Canghe Nan to complain about what happened today.

The three chatted for a while, and Cang Jing finished washing up, so Cang Hai said goodbye to his uncle and aunt, and returned to his kitchen with Cang Jing.

The noodles were already ready, and Shi Wei was pouring marinade on the noodles at this time, when she saw the three people coming, she immediately smiled and said: "Sit down, let's start the meal immediately."

As soon as Cang Jing saw the breakfast at Cang Hai's family, she immediately said happily: "It's better to live in the second brother's house. There are vegetables and meat in the morning. It's not like my house. In addition to stick noodles in the morning, there are also stick noodles."

"Eat yours!" Cang Hai said with a smile, "Uncle and Auntie don't live in the village permanently, so where is there any food here? Just wait until next year, and everyone will move back to live."

Lin Zhijing was surprised and said, "Move back? Will everyone move here? Why don't you live in the town?"

This kid still thinks in a city, and he has always yearned for a big city in his heart.

"The village only makes money, but the town can make some money." After Cang Jing finished speaking, she added: "Eat your food honestly."

Beef marinade, strong beef aroma, served with diced potatoes and noodle sauce, poured on the noodle, the taste of a bowl of noodle is really unmistakable, Lin Zhijing even ate two bowls in a row.

"Second brother, you can open a restaurant here," Cang Jing boasted.

Cang Hai said with a smile: "I think the customers will have to wait for the restaurant to open. It will take nearly an hour to cook these two bowls of noodles." Cang Hai said with a smile.

Cang Jing was about to say something when she saw Shi Wei getting up to clean up the dishes. Lin Zhijing was still sitting there, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Can you wink and watch Brother Pingan and Sister Shiwei clean up?" Tableware, where are your hands?"

Lin Zhijing immediately stood up and started to help clean up.

"You..." Cang Hai didn't know what to say about his cousin.

But after thinking about it, people's life is their business, as long as the young couple thinks that this way of getting along is appropriate, then it is good, and outsiders are not good at judging other people's lives and ways of getting along.
