slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 283 Fake Dog
With a plate of pot stickers, Canghai and the others came to the side of the vegetable garden, and called Ping An and Wu Hui to stop and taste the pot stickers. Everyone shared a plate of pot stickers in three to five minutes through the fence around the vegetable, although Each person is divided into two or three, but the food is not so much, it is more about sharing.

Looking at the empty plate, Ping An said to Cang Hai, "Second brother, these pot stickers are really delicious."

"If you think it's delicious, we'll do it after we're done playing!" Cang Hai said with a smile.

Pingan said very bluntly: "Second brother, the pot stickers you make are not as delicious as this one!"

"That's because I didn't pay attention. When I go back and take a good look at the recipe, I'm sure it will be successful." Cang Hai knows that his skill in making pot stickers is indeed inferior to that of Li Danbo, but the dead duck has a hard mouth, and Cang Hai will not admit it Skills are not as good as people.

Shi Wei smiled and pushed Cang Hai: "Hurry up and send the plate back to Uncle Li, it's nothing to wave around with an empty plate."

Cang Hai replied: "There is no one who sends empty plates back to people. Ping An, there are some fruits in the vegetable garden that are ripe, go pick some. Forget it, don't count on the vegetable garden. I will go to the water tower to have a look. What can be returned as a gift."

The habit in the countryside is that when people bring things over, they can’t send empty plates back to others, they have to bring something with them. Originally, Cang Hai wanted to send some food or something, but thinking that their family must have these things, he thought about going back to the water tower. I took a look and found out if there were any other good things at home, I got some and sent them back to Li Danbo's house along with the plate.

When he came to the water tower, Cang Hai quickly picked out the things and prepared to send them to the kiln for Li Dan. When Cang Hai passed the kiln entrance of Li Lida’s house, he happened to meet Qian Ximei and Grandma Qian San coming out of the kiln. .

"Haiwazi, it just so happens that your third grandpa has something to say to you!" Qian Ximei waved to Cang Hai immediately when she saw Cang Hai.

Cang Hai lifted the plate in his hand: "Third Grandma, wait a minute, I'll send the plate to Danbo."

"Okay, just let me stay here, they will come back for dinner at night," Qian Ximei said.

"Not at home?" Cang Hai looked at Li Dan's kiln door.

"The team that just went out to build the road went to work. You, Mr. Hu, just told someone that they paid more than 100 yuan a day. They thought it would be better to sell their strength if they were idle at home," Qian Ximei said.

Qian Ximei didn't have a temper with the three of them. According to her idea, opening a few more vegetable fields would be more suitable than going to work on the construction site, but they didn't listen, and she couldn't make decisions when her children and grandchildren grew up.

After hearing this, Cang Hai had no choice but to put the plate and the contents on the stove in front of Grandma Qian's house, and found something to cover it to prevent the greedy cats in the village from stealing it. into the kiln.

"Have you eaten yet?"

As soon as he entered the kiln, Cang Hai found that Li Lida was sitting at a small table eating breakfast. The porridge and side dishes were served with pancakes. Although it was simple, the food was much better than when Cang Hai came back. At the bottom of the bowl, now a bowl of porridge is thick and solid, and the side dishes are not the usual dried radishes, but cold vegetable seedlings, with crushed peanuts, red oil and hot sauce added, it feels like It is crisp and refreshing. As for the noodle pancakes, they are common steamed buns, which are eaten by tearing with hands.

"I've eaten, third grandpa, why are you asking me to come in?" Cang Hai smiled and pulled a bench and sat down.

Li Lida asked while eating: "Your uncle asked if you opened your mouth to borrow money?"

"no!"

Seeing the third grandfather looking at him, Cang Hai said with a straight face: "No!"

"Don't borrow it even if you open your mouth! This thing can still listen to me at last," Li Lida said.

After hearing this, Cang Hai questioned: "I heard that brother Li Qun has agreed on a marriage?"

"Fucking marriage, the 36 dowry gift is probably only him, the idiots, who think it's a marriage, and don't think about why other girls have a crush on him..." Li Lida immediately became angry when he heard it, and began to count. .

Cang Hai waited for Li Lida to finish speaking, and opened his mouth to say: "I was surprised when I heard this, thinking that this family really dared to ask for it, 36! How can there be such a market."

Qian Ximei said: "These people have lost their minds thinking about money. It's not because we see that life in our village is easier. There are so many bachelors, and everyone opens their mouths. 36 yuan feels their conscience. They have saved their entire lives. The money won’t come down.”

"Money is not a big deal now. If it is An Sheng's life, it will be more than 36. Everyone will borrow it with an old face. As long as the grandchildren live well, I can recognize it with my nose, but what's the situation now? Listen It’s not like a person who lives a life. You have to give this money when you get engaged! There’s no evidence, so throw away the 36! Oh, I invite relatives and friends to have a meal here Just take away 36 yuan? What if they don't get married when they get the money?..." Li Lida said, the fire seemed to come up again.

Cang Hai immediately comforted: "Don't be angry, anyway, I just don't want to borrow the money."

"Well, I can't borrow it. Even if this family really wants to marry a girl, if it is a good family, it will not raise the price. If it is not a good family, even if it is a beautiful person, it is not a life. These three cowards don't understand. , Waiting for the life in our village to get better, it is not easy to have a daughter-in-law, his old uncle Wei has someone to marry, and one of them who is not married is afraid of it. After waiting for so many years, I can't help it. New Year? I have to pick up my messy thoughts at this time," Li Lida said.

Qian Ximei still cared a little for her children and grandchildren, and said after hearing this: "Old man, the children are not young anymore, they are already in their thirties, can you not be in a hurry?"

"If you are in a hurry, you are like a little twin baby. When you are working outside with your ability, you can find a daughter-in-law to come back? The wife not only doesn't want the gift money, but also gives the young couple 5 to [-] yuan to live. This is the real thing. Such a good man, what kind of a hero is he who throws face at me and asks for money!" Li Lida said angrily again.

Cang Hai could only persuade him from the side, but luckily the old man couldn’t be angry all the time, there was still a lot of work to be done in the vegetable garden, so he was angry for three to five minutes, finished his breakfast, put on his clothes and went with Cang Hai work.

Cang Hai returned to the vegetable garden, and saw that Shi Wei and Pingan were responsible for supporting the shelf so that it would not be off the mark, while Wu Hui was responsible for fixing the shelf alone.

"You two are really lazy!"

Ping An smiled and nudged Wu Hui with her mouth: "It's not that we are lazy, it's that sister Wu Hui puts on airs very quickly."

Hearing Ping'an's words, Cang Hai noticed Wu Hui's way of putting on airs, and realized that Wu Hui's putting on airs was really fast, and a node was tied in a second.

The plastic greenhouse in the vegetable garden is not a serious greenhouse. It is more complicated than the ground shed, and simpler than the real steel-concrete greenhouse. Then connect all the arched bamboos together to make a shelf, and finally spread plastic sheeting on the shelf.

In addition to plastic sheeting, bamboo and other materials can be obtained locally, so the entire greenhouse is quite economical.

"I really didn't expect that you still have such skills," Cang Hai praised Wu Hui.

Wu Hui held an L-shaped iron frame in one hand, and a handful of U-shaped steel wires in the other hand. The steel wires were threaded, hooked, and twisted on the frame. In two or three seconds, two bamboo pieces They were firmly tied together.

Wu Hui said with a smile: "When I was treating my father, I worked with my mother on the construction site near the hospital. I have tied steel bars, so I can do this job."

Cang Hai suddenly thought: How much work has this child done!Why does it seem like this kid has done all the hard work.

After helping for a while, Cang Hai realized that he was actually a dispensable person, that is, helping pass some wire, carrying a piece of bamboo and so on.It's so easy it makes you want to sleep.

"Ping An, have you thought about where to open up land?" Cang Hai asked casually.

Ping An said with a smile: "The ground is ready, just waiting to build a shed."

"Is it all ready?" Cang Hai asked curiously.

Following the direction of Ping An's finger, Cang Hai discovered a newly opened land about 30 meters away from his side, about four acres in size, and was sprinkled with white ash around it, and it was completely molded. kind.

"Is this the vegetable patch you chose?" Cang Hai asked.

Ping An hummed, and said with a smile: "Sister Wu Hui said, anyway, we have a lot of land here, so we will open more. When you go to the provincial capital, we will hang lanterns and use tractors to plow the land when it gets dark. We also used an excavator, but fortunately, with some machines, we leveled the land so easily... ".

Wu Hui was a little embarrassed by Ping An's praise, and quickly said: "The machines are all made by Ping An, and my brain is too stupid to open a big machine."

Cang Hai was about to say something, when he turned his eyes and saw Hua Tou lying on the ground next to him, Hua Tou is now a half-sized puppy, about [-] centimeters high, with a fluffy, fat head and big ears that look so long Cute, but his personality is a bit annoying, lively like a husky, not like a tiger-headed yellow hound at all.Even Ping An's fat yellow is a little bit biased by it now.

"I'm not mistaken, what is the slippery head eating?" Cang Hai asked subconsciously.

Shi Wei took a look: "You don't even know eggplant?"

"Of course I know eggplants, but I haven't seen a dog eat raw eggplants yet," Cang Hai said.

This guy Slick is holding a big eggplant right now, it's still the kind of round eggplant that looks like a small ball, with a diameter of about ten centimeters or more.

Huatou has already eaten half of the big eggplant, revealing the white eggplant flesh wrapped in purple eggplant skin. Huatou took a bite of the eggplant and chewed it vigorously. From time to time, he raised his head to look around with a calm gaze, and finished eating Continue to take another bite, calmly as if gnawing on a bone.

"I don't know, just in the past few days, we found it eating lettuce in the vegetable garden for the first time, and then eating green vegetables, and then we found that there seemed to be nothing in the vegetable garden that it didn't eat." Ping An glanced at it Slick scratched the back of his head and said.

"Where's your Fat Huang?" Cang Hai asked.

Pingan said: "I went to lock up with Erhei from my grandfather's house. My grandfather said that if we hang out with Huatou again, our family will be useless."

Cang Hai nodded as if this was a good idea.

It’s not that Canghai has never seen a dog that eats vegetables, and the dogs in the countryside are all leftovers from the owner’s house. They eat what they eat. A dirt dog ran into the vegetable garden and gnawed on a Chinese cabbage.

"Don't take the usual path," Cang Hai said looking at Hua Tou.

Shi Wei smiled and said at this time: "Don't be lazy, do your chores well, if you have nothing to do, you should pay attention to what you are doing, I think you and Huatou cooperate very well, they are all fraudulent!"

Cang Hai laughed for a few moments, and continued to help everyone, noticing his tricks from time to time, only to see that this guy had a big eggplant in his stomach, and actually walked up to a carrot by himself, and pulled out the carrot with his mouth .After pulling out the radish, he lay down next to the radish pit and started eating.Start eating the radish tassels first, and then start to eat the radish after eating the tassels.Ten minutes later, a radish also entered its belly.

Just like that, after surviving the whole morning, Cang Hai found that this guy ate an eggplant, a radish, and a cabbage in a daze, with two green peppers, what a guy!The eaten dishes can be fried on several plates.

While waiting for lunch, Cang Hai continued to observe Huatou, only to see that this guy ate very little meat, the meat in the bowl was hardly moved, and all the vegetables were eaten.It's not like the tiger head, which picks meat when eating, and then eats meaty rice, and finally white rice.

Originally, Cang Hai thought it was just a special situation, but it was like this one day, two days, until the big shed of Ping'an's house was erected, and the situation of slippery eating of vegetables not only didn't improve, but became more and more obvious.

"I wouldn't raise a fake dog, would I?"

This day Cang Hai finally couldn't bear it anymore, put his slippery head in his arms, and turned over and over again trying to find the zipper opening or something on this guy. Cang Hai seriously suspected that this guy was a little lamb wearing a A dog dressed in dog skin.
