slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 346

It was almost noon, and everyone had already pasted up all the couplets on the doors and windows, except for the couplets at the door of Cang Hai’s study room, and they were all waiting for Cang Hai to get a handwritten copy. The couplet is back.

Shi Wei heard the sound and went out the door, saw Cang Hai with a roll of white paper under his arm, walking back excitedly, just like a little fox who stole a chicken, so she smiled and opened her mouth to ask: "What? Things are so happy, by the way, you didn't want to come back to the couplet?"

Cang Hai waved his hand at Shi Wei, and said triumphantly: "It doesn't matter if the couplets are not couplets, I got two good things from the two old men!"

Before he finished speaking, Cang Hai looked at the door of the kiln in his study room was still bare, so he opened his mouth curiously and asked, "Why is there no sticker on the door of the study room?"

Shi Wei smiled and said: "Isn't it waiting for you to come back with the couplets? Why do you blame us for not posting them?"

Cang Hai shouted at the top of his voice, "Peace, peace!"

"Hey, what's the matter, second brother?" Ping An asked with his head out of the kitchen, looking at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai stretched out his finger to the door of the kiln in his study: "Paste the couplet!"

"Where are the couplets?" Ping An looked at Cang Hai curiously, and he also thought that Cang Hai asked for the couplets back.

Cang Hai said: "You can post whatever you plan to post in the morning!"

After speaking, she took Shi Wei's hand and picked up the curtain of the kiln door of the study room and walked into the study room. When she arrived at the study room, she spread out the two calligraphy treasures under her arms on the desk.

"The writing is really beautiful!" Shi Wei immediately praised the two pictures on the desk.

Although she didn't have much research on calligraphy, Shi Wei saw that the characters on the desk were neat and orderly, with a sense of transcendent beauty, so she couldn't help but praise her aloud.

Cang Hai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this old man Xu is still a master of calligraphy. Look at the writing of this character. Maybe we can change our son to a house in Shanghai to marry a wife in the future."

"What are you talking about?" Shi Wei blushed.Although she and Cang Hai have already lived a married life, Shi Wei can't help but blush every time she mentions this matter.

Cang Hai didn't care much about it, and now he was admiring Mr. Xu Sheng's calligraphy "Ai Lian Shuo" on the table happily. While reading it, he smiled and said that he made money this time.

In fact, Cang Hai has indeed made money. Mr. Xu Sheng's handwriting is very good. Although his reputation among the public is not obvious, not as famous as those other calligraphy people boast about outside, but there are still quite a few in the real calligraphy and painting circle. The price of the works is not low, and Guan Jian is from Xu Sheng's family who is rich and does not make a living by selling calligraphy, so there are very few calligraphy left.

Not to mention Cang Hai's specially written words, even the couplets in the hands of the folks can sell for tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention this famous and well-known formal work in Cang Hai's hands.It may not be possible to exchange the old man's words for a car worth more than [-] yuan, but once Mr. Xu travels westward with a crane, such a work can at least be exchanged for a top-end Lu Xun.

The happy Cang Hai finished admiring this painting, and then looked at Qu Guowei's works below. What the old man wrote to Cang Hai was a passage from "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter: The heart can be calm, even though everything is changing, nothing will happen.If it is not quiet, Yanju will live in leisure, and if you are looking forward to it, you will be peaceful.Quiet in the heart, not in the environment.

"Although it is a little short, it can still be sold for two dollars! It can be regarded as buying an estate for the children and grandchildren!" Cang Hai said to himself very satisfied.

When Shi Wei heard this, she immediately had the urge to hold her head, thinking why this person is like this, now she has nothing, so she started to buy property for her children and grandchildren.

"How do you know it's your son?" Shi Wei yelled at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai smiled and closed the words on the table: "Give me a few more children, I don't believe it, God looks down on me so much, why don't you give me a son?"

"I didn't expect you to be patriarchal!" Shi Wei glanced at Cang Hai with a bit of disgust.

Cang Hai said: "Who said I only want a son, I at least want both sons and daughters, if possible, we can have as many children as possible, so that I can choose and choose when the time comes to inherit the family business!"

After hearing this, Shi Wei said aloud: "How many more, the family has the throne and needs to inherit it?"

Cang Hai laughed and said, "Although I don't have the throne, there are things that are much more precious than the throne. As long as the children and grandchildren are not too useless, they can always have a stutter and even live a good life."

"Yo, I didn't expect you to have this baby, show it to me!" Shi Wei thought that Cang Hai was talking nonsense, so she asked with a smile.

Cang Hai immediately shook his head and said: "Not right, not right! This thing is passed on from male to female, from son to daughter-in-law, even though you are the daughter-in-law of Lao Cang's family, you have no chance to see her!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pack up your things, go cook, and we have to go to the grave after dinner." Shi Wei didn't have the heart to continue talking nonsense with Cang Hai, and twisted her waist after saying something Limbs walked out the door.

Cang Haiguo put the two pieces of calligraphy into a bamboo box, and after thinking about it, he simply put the box in his own space, and waited for someone to frame the two pieces of calligraphy when he went to Shanghai next time. , When the time comes, hang it in the study as a facade.

After putting away the calligraphy and painting, Cang Hai went out, and when he came to the kitchen, he found that Ping An had already started making noodles.

I'm going to eat noodles at noon. As for vegetables, meat, etc., how can the Cang Hai family be short of them?Seeing Ping An reconcile the noodles, Cang Hai rolled up his sleeves and began to roll out the dough, Ping An was on the side to help, and godmother Xu Xiaomin and Qi Yue were on the side to choose vegetables.

There is nothing particular about eating noodles, everyone has to sit around the table to eat, so the first pot of noodles is ready, and the first batch of people start eating. Cang Hai continued to serve the first pot of noodles, which took more than half an hour scattered , This meal is good.

Seeing that Shi Wei still had to wash the dishes, Xu Xiaomin said immediately, "Go and do your work, I'll just do the washing."

Shi Wei said: "It doesn't take much time, everything for the grave is ready, just pick it up and leave."

Xu Xiaomin pushed Shi Wei away: "Go early and come back early. It has been snowing heavily outside for two consecutive days. This road must be difficult. Go with Cang Hai. Can I still do this job?"

Hearing what Xu Xiaomin said, Shi Wei flicked the water from her hand, wiped it on her apron, then untied the apron and hung it on the hook: "Then I'll go."

"Go!" Xu Xiaomin said as he started to wash the dishes quickly.

When Shi Wei went outside, Cang Hai and Ping An had already set up the sledges. Not only was Cang Hai going to the grave, but Ping An, as the eldest grandson of the Hu family, couldn't get away from going to the grave. Yes, so I helped Cang Hai tidy up, and Ping An turned to his grandfather's house, waiting for the whole family to go to the grave together.

Cang Hai’s family went to the grave with only two people, Cang Hai and Shi Wei. Cang Hai didn’t plan to take the little girl Mengmeng with her. Wouldn’t it be an embarrassment for the old man to take Mengmeng to the grave? Those who go to the grave on New Year's Eve, this year is Shi Weizhang's first marriage to Cang's family as a daughter-in-law, and they must come.

This thing can be regarded as a remnant of feudalism, but Cang Hai doesn't intend to change anything, anyway, follow the old rules.

With the big and small bags, Shi Wei checked and checked, and after confirming that they were correct, she got on the sledge, grabbed the two baskets containing offerings and candles, and signaled Cang Hai to leave.

After urging the ugly donkey, Cang Hai headed towards the entrance of the village. When he passed by the kiln of the third uncle's house, he heard the third uncle calling himself. Cang Hai stopped the sledge, and saw the third uncle walking into the house with a basket of offerings. come out.

"Is it going to the grave?"

Seeing Cang Hai nod his head, Third Uncle said, "Just pick us up!"

After finishing speaking, he put the basket in his hand on the sledge, and shouted into the kiln: "Little bastard, hurry up, the last grave is still grinding."

Cang Henan recklessly ran out of the kiln, and said while running: "Come, come!"

"Who are you calling with? It takes half an hour to make a call. The phone bill is free, right?" Cang Shiyuan looked at his son and asked.

Cang Henan climbed into the car, sat down firmly and said, "Dad, I'm not calling, I'm chatting on WeChat and there's no phone bill, what do you know?".

After hearing this, Cang Shiyuan said: "Talk with your mobile phone, charge it several times a day, the electricity bill at home is free!"

Cang Henan gave his father a thumbs up speechlessly: "You are really good!"

Cang Hai smiled and drove the ugly donkey to continue on the road. At the entrance of the village, he met Wei Wenkui's family who also went to the grave. The sledge of Wei Wenkui's family was full of people. The younger brother Wei Wenhong is an only daughter, and if she doesn't go to the grave, no one will go to the grave.

The two sledges walked side by side, and the people on the sledges naturally started chatting.

"Brother Wenkui, I think it's better to let Changli find a son-in-law!" Cang Shiyuan said to Wei Wenkui after taking a look at Wei Changli.

Wei Wenkui nodded and said: "That's what I mean, and Chang Li also agreed, but the two young men who met a few years ago, Chang Li, were not very satisfied, and I was not satisfied either. The oily-tongued ones looked unreliable, and they were all tainted. Hair, you say you are not a woman, a man of several feet is dyed like a big cock, no matter how you look at it, it is awkward, a man has to be rough... ".

Cang Shiyuan said with a smile: "This is popular now!"

"It's not allowed to be male or female. What I don't like the most is a man wearing an earring." Wei Wenkui said angrily: "Nowadays those craps are shown on TV, and good children are killed. If the belt is broken, only those who are neither male nor female can be on TV?... ".

"Big, that's called fashion! You don't understand!" Wei Changhao argued.

Wei Wenkui turned his head and glared at his son: "Fashion, is it fashionable to be neither male nor female? Then the eunuchs who served the emperor in the palace were the most fashionable in the past. They were neither male nor female. Do you want to learn it?" ?”

Wei Wenkui's words directly amused the two sledgemakers.

People of the older generation can't see some of the current fashion. As for Cang Hai, they have an idea that has nothing to do with me, but if the sons and daughters of Cang Hai want to be so fashionable, Cang Hai will definitely not mind slapping them The big-eared son, who persisted in repeated admonitions, directly kicked out his own son's heir and was under consideration.

Straight man of steel!
"How is your blind date going?" Cang Hai changed the topic to Wei Changsheng and Wei Changhao.

I said that it was the blind date season a few years ago, and there was nothing to do in Sijiaping Village, but now the children in Sijiaping Village are considered to be the most sought-after goods in ten miles and eight towns.

When Wei Wenkui heard this, he became even angrier now: "Don't mention these two bastards, I think there are two girls who are pretty good, who knows that the girl who doesn't like them, and the girl they like doesn't like them, what do you say? These two disgusting things! What's the use of this girl's good-looking face, she can eat and drink, and to marry a daughter-in-law, you have to marry a big butt to give birth to... ".

He turned his head and wanted to scold his son, but Wei Wenkui saw Shi Wei at a glance, and immediately felt that he had said something wrong, and immediately explained: "Doctor Shi, I didn't mean you!"

Shi Wei waved her hands with a smile: "It's okay, old man!"

Shi Wei's appearance can't be described as beautiful, it can be directly classified as a disaster.What Wei Wenkui said just now had a good-looking face is useless, but now there is someone with a good-looking face next to him, so why don't he explain it for a while.

Cang Shiyuan interjected at this time: "The first thing to find a wife is virtuous, and looks are secondary. Why are you looking for a wife? Isn't it just waiting for a day's work to be done, and when you return home, there is someone who knows the cold and the hot?" So, marrying a woman is not marrying a fairy girl, even if you are a fairy girl, you have to have that ability, and you have to be a fairy yourself, or else the fairy girl will like you?... ".

When Wei Wenkui heard that it was exactly what I wanted, he slapped his thigh: "That's not what I said, the two little bastards just don't understand this truth...".

Hearing what Uncle Wei and Uncle Three said, Cang Hai immediately understood the whole thing. It turned out that Wei Wenkui liked the two chubby girls, but Wei Changsheng and Wei Changhao didn't like them, and fell in love with the two chubby girls. Thin girl, it's a pity that other girls don't like their brothers, so Wei Wenkui is very angry that he didn't make a marriage a year ago.
