slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 337
Four charcoal pots were placed at the four corners. Although the temperature inside the shed was not too high, it was naturally much warmer than outside.

The whole village gathered in the shed, and everyone found their own places to sit down. Even if they included Qu Guowei, Xu Sheng, and Qi Yue, the four tables were not full. The population of the entire Sijiaping Village There are no more than [-] people in the family.

There are people sitting on the table, and dogs under the table. Dogs from all households are also gathered in the sheds, and they are guarding next to their masters, waiting for some bones and fats to fill their stomachs after the banquet.

Cang Hai's family sits at a table with Xu Sheng, Qu Guowei and Qi Yue on the table, plus three uncles and three aunts, and Wang Chunxiu with the little tiger and his wife. The whole round table of 20 people looks a little bit Empty.

Cang Hai sits casually at this table, but the older generation pays attention to it. Although it is a village gathering, there are country rules in the countryside. The old people push up because of who is at the top. It takes about three to four minutes. Only then did seats for each table be arranged, and everyone sat down one after another.

The children are looking at the dishes on the table eagerly, waiting impatiently for the table to start, but no matter how anxious the children are, the adults will not eat with two chopsticks like some places, because the village rule is that if there are Elders, elders don't move their chopsticks, and younger people can't. The older generation pays attention to three-year-olds, and they must have rules since they were young. They won't have no rules just because they are still children.

Mengmeng was also impatient, holding his chopsticks and looking eagerly at Hu Shijie's table, waiting for Hu Shijie's order to open the table.

Because there were not many people at the table, Iron Head also took a seat, but this guy was purely for the fun, and there were no dishes from him on the table today, almost all of them were big fish and meat, so this guy had already mixed in before he came. It's for people who have a full stomach, and it is there to appear more people.

Hu Shijie saw that everyone was here and that everyone had sat down, so he stood up holding the wine glass in his hand.As soon as Hu Shijie stood up, the whole shed fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at Hu Shijie. Everyone was waiting for Hu Shijie to speak, and the children were waiting for Hu Shijie to announce that they were ready to eat.

Looking around, Hu Shijie said to the big guys: "Fellow folks, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. It is rare for our Sijiaping Village to gather so many people. Next year will be a special event for our Sijiaping Village." One year is a new beginning. Once the watermelons are on the market, the people of Sijiaping Village can confidently say that our Sijiaping Village is no longer a poor village as others say. Not only is it not poor, but within one to two years we will Sijiaping will become one of the richest villages in the entire county, city, and even the entire province!"

Whoa!
I don't know who took the lead, everyone applauded immediately.

Hu Shijie was obviously very satisfied with everyone's enthusiastic response. After listening for a few seconds, he put down his wine glass and raised his hands, pressing down with his palms.

After waiting for the applause to calm down, he continued to open his mouth and said: "Everyone knows that we have become a company with collective ownership. Let me remind you here that collective ownership does not mean that everyone has a share, let alone doing more and doing less. , each household has a basic workload based on the headcount, and the part of the village that exceeds the workload is shared with everyone. If the workload is not reached, then naturally the money will be deducted. As a person with feet, it is impossible for others to use labor to make up for you because you are lazy. There is no such thing in Sijiaping!... ".

What Hu Shijie said was discussed with Cang Hai and his group. Everyone must mobilize their enthusiasm for collective planting, otherwise it will be meaningless like the previous commune. You can’t raise lazy people. The principle of getting more for work, and widening the gap, can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers.

After hearing this, Xu Sheng tilted his head towards Cang Hai, and said in a low voice: "Your method is good. It's called a collective, but it's actually a contract for each household. There is overall planning, but how does this supervision come about?"

Cang Hai replied in a low voice: "Why does the supervisor want us to come? When the Japanese come to harvest melons, they will naturally help us do this."

Xu Sheng thought for a while and then nodded.

Just as Xu Sheng nodded his head, Hu Shijie's mobilization speech over there was over. The old man picked up the wine glasses on the table and turned around to everyone: "Now, everyone, hold up the wine glasses in your hands, and those who don't drink drink." Drinks, the children come too, let’s have a toast, so that next year’s life will be more and more prosperous for everyone!”

"Yes, next year will be more and more prosperous for everyone"

"No matter how hard you work, you can still work hard on the construction site. In summer, you are exposed to the scorching sun, and in winter, you are blowing cold wind. Don't worry, Mr. Hu. We are all people who have suffered hardships. We must have sold our strength to work for our own income. live!"

"Okay, Li San is right!"

Everyone shouted and stood up with the wine glasses in their hands, raised the wine glasses, and drank them all in one gulp.

Cang Hai naturally stood up with everyone and drank a glass of wine.

The wine was very strong, and the [-]-degree wine was drunk, and it warmed up in an instant along the throat and into the stomach. After letting out a breath, Cang Hai sat down, and then said to Shi Wei beside him: "Drink less wine. , Warm your body."

Shi Wei shook her head: "I don't want to drink, this wine is too strong."

The sorghum wine in the countryside is indeed not to Shi Wei's taste, even Cang Hai usually doesn't drink such strong wine, but today's situation is special, everyone can't drink sorghum wine, Cang Hai holds a bottle of Moutai, even if there is Qian, Cang Hai can't say that he can change all the wine on everyone's table today into Moutai. Although Cang Hai can change it, but in the village treats, Cang Hai follows the nonsense, it seems a little ostentatious, maybe some people think I feel that Cang Hai doesn't follow the rules when he is rich.

After drinking a glass of wine, everyone picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables to eat.

Cang Hai first picked up a piece of fish for Mengmeng, and he picked up a thin slice of dry-cut pork with chopsticks, dipped it in the dipping sauce next to the plate, and put it in his mouth.

The black soil pork in the country is boiled with only a little salt, and served with chopped green and red peppers, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. The taste is really delicious. Spicy on the tip of the tongue, followed by slightly sour with a peppery aroma, and finally the fragrant lean pork smell, mixed together slightly cool but with distinct layers of aroma, even in this weather it makes people feel salivary.

Xu Sheng's first chopsticks also followed Cang Hai to pick up pork slices. He nodded while chewing in his mouth, and pointed the chopsticks at the plate of dry meat: "Try this, everyone. It looks like a cold dish, but it's delicious if you eat it." It doesn't feel cold in the stomach at all, and the taste is really delicious."

As Xu Sheng saw that everyone was eating, he stretched out his hand and turned the turntable on the table.

The third uncle Cang Shiyuan put a chopstick in his mouth, chewed it a few times and said, "This pork tastes good. We will raise three or four heads of it in our family next year. The taste of this pork is what we ate when we were young." Nine out of ten of the pork sold on the street are foreign pigs, they are big and the taste is wrong, and they don’t have this smell when chewed.”

"Haiwazi, wait for the spring when your pigs give birth, give us some pigs," said the third aunt.

Cang Hai nodded: "As long as the cub is born, you can come and hold it."

Regardless of whether it is pigs, beef, chickens, or geese, the whole village agrees that Canghai's family raises the best food. The food raised by other people's family always feels inferior to Canghai's family. The quality is inferior to Cang Hai's family, which makes many elders very depressed. They have spent most of their lives in the countryside and can't compare to a young man.

Although I am a little dissatisfied in my heart, but in private, I am learning more and more carefully. The villagers are like this. Whoever farms the land and harvests more food, everyone will follow suit. They will not hold on to their status just because they are juniors, because they all I know what to do when I have nothing to do and what to do with money.

"You want a lot of pigs?" Qu Guowei asked while gnawing on a duck wing.

"There are not many. Everyone has pigs, and each sow has at least one pig. There is no need to go to my house to pick up piglets," Cang Hai said.

In fact, Cang Hai knew in his heart that it wasn't that the villagers didn't want it, but they were embarrassed to want it, because they all knew that Cang Hai's family would expand this thing next year, and they didn't plan to sell it even if they gave birth to cubs.

Piglets are not eggs, they are born one a day, and how many litters a pig can produce in a year. If you want it, it’s better for Cang Hai to charge money or not. I'm sorry, so everyone just doesn't want it, that is, the three uncles and three aunts don't have much concern about it.Even Cang Hai's cousin, Cang Shigui, was too embarrassed to say that.

Just as they were talking about pigs, Hu Shijie stood up again holding a wine glass, and everyone naturally followed suit.

"Second cup!"

Hu Shijie didn't say much, just said that after the second cup, he raised his head and drained the wine in the glass.

Drinking here in Sijiaping, the banquet wine is always in pairs, there is no such thing as a single cup, there are two cups, four cups and a maximum of six cups. Generally speaking, there are more than four cups. After drinking these four cups, the Everyone's activity time, looking for this to drink and that to drink until the end of the show.

Today, there were four cups of wine at the dinner party in the village. After the four cups were finished, the whole shed immediately became lively and began to find someone to drink.

On Cang Hai's side, he drank two glasses with the nearest Xu Sheng, then Qu Guowei, and then the third uncle and third aunt, Wang Chunxiu.As soon as I finished drinking at my table, there were people over there to toast.

Li Shuang was the first to run over, and as soon as he arrived, he stretched out his hand to embrace Cang Hai's arm, and said with a little drunkenness: "Xiao Hai, I never thought you would be so successful now, the whole village has become rich because of you." .

Hearing Li Shuang's words, Cang Hai couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered, smiled and held the wine glass in his hand and touched Li Shuang lightly: "Second brother Shuang, what you said, everyone You can get rich only if your heart goes fast, but you can't get anything done if you are torn apart."

Li Shuang was startled when he heard this: "Well said, well said!"

Then he raised his head and drained the wine in his hand, tilted the glass towards Cang Hai as a gesture, then turned his head and walked away.

Qu Guowei was a little curious, and he opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you getting along with this Li Shuang?"

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

Third Aunt Wei Qin curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Li Shuang is a good kid. When he came back, he felt unambiguous. Now that we Haiwazi stole the limelight, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Just ignore him!"

Li Shuang can be said to be the best gangster in the village besides Canghai. Of course, if it were before, he is better than Canghai. He earns more than 2 yuan a month in the south, and the business people can speak well. Yes, once back in the village, the big and small people talked with their elders in a higher tone, and they always regarded themselves as the No. 1 in the village. Now that Cang Hai has made such a big move this time, he is naturally a little upset.

But it's just a little upset, if it wasn't for the alcohol, he wouldn't have said this.Li Shuang also knows that Cang Hai bought a big house in Shanghai and drives a Mercedes-Benz. With his 2 yuan a month, he can only afford the current apartment in Cang Hai’s house without eating or drinking for many years in Shanghai. .

At this time, Cang Shida interjected: "This kid is a bit out of tune, but his nature is not bad, he just made a bit of a show, who hasn't been young yet."

"I heard from his mother, Zhang Xiaolian, that Li Shuang is not planning to grow watermelons with everyone next year, but is planning to go to the south to do his job," Wei Qin said while eating bamboo shoots with chopsticks.

Cang Shiyuan glared at Wei Qin: "Why are you so concerned about other people's affairs?"

"I'll just say it casually," Wei Qin replied.

Cang Hai doesn't care what Li Shuang does, if he wants to come back, he will do it, if he doesn't, he won't come back, everyone has his own ambition.

"Second brother!"

At this moment, Wei Changsheng came over with a glass of wine: "I would like to offer my second brother a glass of wine. Thank you. From now on, we don't have to be angry with the foreman, and we will be beaten on our heads, 20 yuan a day per person."

Cang Hai smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Work hard, and try to earn him 30 million yuan next year!"

"Okay, second brother's auspicious words!" Wei Changsheng smiled and drank the wine in his glass.

"Changsheng, when is the blind date?" Seeing that Wei Changsheng directly pulled the bench and sat down, Wei Qin opened his mouth and asked.

Wei Changsheng said embarrassingly: "In two days, when we meet, the matchmaker asked us brothers to meet some girls."

Blind dates in the countryside, these few days during the Chinese New Year are good days, because many boys and girls work outside for many years, and they don’t see people a few times a year. It became the blind date season in the countryside.

"You have to choose carefully. We used to have no conditions to choose. Now that our village is seeing better life, we are also qualified to choose. Let me tell you, don't just pick a good-looking wife. You can't be careless about marrying a daughter-in-law. Only a wife can have a harmonious family, and only a harmonious family can lead to prosperity. A wife's temperament is more important than her appearance..." Wei Qin said.

Wei Changsheng listened honestly: "Yes, I understand, aunt!"

It's only natural for my aunt to teach my nephew, not to mention that Wei Changsheng and his brother's mother was not there, and they were always taken care of by their aunt when they were young, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are half-mothers.

The banquet was lively, and everyone drank it openly. The wine lasted from seven o'clock to nine o'clock. All the men in the village drank a little too much, including Cang Hai. When the banquet was over, they were either supported or walked out Come on, anyway, everyone had a great time at today's dinner.
