slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 360 Find a guide

Waiting for Shang Qingyun to leave, Shi Wei smiled and asked: "Hey, why don't you want this opportunity to write your name in the book, don't tell me you don't know the benefits of it."

Cang Hai smiled, raised the awl in his hand and pierced a hole in the ground, motioned Shi Wei to quickly sprinkle seeds into the hole, and at the same time opened his mouth and said: "This name really doesn't mean anything to us, it's different to him, an academic These are needed, so save them for them.”

Shi Wei smiled when she heard this.

Cang Hai and his wife continued to work, and the newly named long-billed lovesick bird next to them also kept stuffing watermelon seeds into the soil.One piece flies over and the other rises up again, which is much more efficient than Canghai's work. Canghai has planted a line here, and long-billed lovesick birds have planted a large area. This efficiency can't be matched by Canghai's flattery.

Shang Qingyun returned to his wife and students, and one student couldn't help asking: "Teacher?"

Shang Qingyun knew what the student meant. He was afraid that Cang Hai would come to name him. Looking at Cang Hai's appearance, and then at his husband and wife, the three students, Shang Qingyun couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart: the layout is still too small Yes, I'm a little petty!
"People don't like this thing, so let me name it, long-billed lovesick bird," Shang Qingyun said.

Hearing what Shang Qingyun said, the faces of the three students were more or less relieved.For students, the mixed academic circle is all about reputation. The higher the teacher's reputation, the students like them will be able to rise with the tide. When people in the circle mention someone's student, it is always better than an anonymous student, and this thing is mixed with the school. It is beneficial to have a job title, a salary increase, etc., and they are reluctant to give it to Cang Hai for nothing.

"That's fine, it's useless to them," said one student.

Shang Qingyun wanted to open his mouth to give a lesson, but he held back the words and changed it to something else: "Everyone get busy, look at the nests of these birds at home, and carefully observe their habits...".

After listening to the teacher's instructions, the three students immediately turned their heads and began to work.

Fan Xiaoxia and her husband have lived for decades, and her husband's mind can be guessed somewhat, waiting for the three students to leave, Fan Xiaoxia comforted her old man and said: "The three of them are still young..." .

The three students are quite good in their study attitudes, but they have a little bit of bad customs in society, and they put too much emphasis on benefits, but this is something they can't help, the world is so impetuous, and they can't control it.Moreover, in domestic academic circles, fraud and plagiarism are really serious.

The most unbearable thing for the old couple is that the punishment is too light, and the dissertation is not painful or itchy, and it will be over after a few sentences. People get money and money, so who would honestly do research?

"It's not a matter of age. Now this kid is a little too selfish and utilitarian," Shang Qingyun said.

Fan Xiaoxia didn't know how to respond to her husband's statement. She also knew in her heart that many people of her generation responded to the country's call to learn one subject and love the other. I study ornithology, and have been running around the country for decades, just for an ideal in my heart.In the eyes of students nowadays, fame is more than money, and they think about taking shortcuts.

"Okay, let's work," Fan Xiaoxia said.

The old couple then started busy making records for the newly named long-billed lovesick bird.

Birds are not afraid of people, which made the work of the old couple go smoothly. The three students followed a little bird and quickly found the nests of these little birds. It is an egg-shaped nest, and there are at least seven or eight nests on a tree.

Cang Hai and the others continued to be busy with the work in the field, resting for a few minutes from time to time, drinking water and hiding in the shade of the trees for a while, and then continued to work on the slope.

Although the weather is not too hot now, standing under the sun for a long time still makes people sweat, but the thick clothes on the body cannot be taken off. As the old saying goes, you can’t take off your clothes in spring. Don't be greedy for coolness and take off your clothes, which is easy to catch a cold.

At noon, Cang Hai first returned to the small camp next to the forest, lit a small stove and simmered a pot of rice, then heated up the vegetables he brought, and called everyone over for dinner when the rice was ready.

Shi Wei, Ping An, and Wu Hui came over, and Little Bear, who was playing in the distance, also turned his butt and came over. As soon as he saw people surrounding the camp, he knew it was time for dinner, so he came over to grab something to eat.

Canghai made a lot of rice here. He took out more than a catty of rice, added a little broth and vegetable leaves, and just poured it on a small stone board next to him, and the little bear buried himself in it and ate it honestly.

Cang Hai and the others held their rice bowls and squatted on the ground with three dishes in the middle, one with vegetarian vegetables and tofu, one with potatoes and pork, and one with fried shredded pork with green peppers.As for soup, there is no such thing today, if you want to drink it, you can only use the cold boiled water in the pot to deal with it.

Shi Wei took a few mouthfuls of rice, then turned her head and asked, "Where are Mr. Shang and those people?"

Ping An said: "They have eaten and gone."

"Have eaten, what did you eat?" Shi Wei asked curiously.

Pingan said: "When I came back to get the seeds just now, I found that each of them had a big pancake with meat and vegetables in it."

Cang Hai knew what was going on, and said to Shi Wei: "Don't worry, you can still starve them. Grandpa Liren is responsible for the food in the village. He has already arranged it. He brought them food in the morning. Didn’t you see two thermos bottles on the trolley when you came here? One was filled with dried plum vegetables and roasted pork, and the other was filled with scrambled eggs with cucumber slices. Vegetables to eat".

"Oh!" Shi Wei nodded after listening.

After Cang Hai finished speaking, he picked up a piece of meat, ate the lean meat on it, and put the remaining fat meat directly on the chopsticks to the little bear's mouth.

As soon as the little bear saw the meat coming, he immediately opened his mouth wide, waiting for Cang Hai to throw the meat into his mouth.

When Cang Hai saw that the bear's mouth was open, he threw the meat back into his chopsticks and continued eating.

Shi Wei smiled and said: "You are really a bit schizophrenic."

"What's the matter?" Cang Hai didn't understand why Shi Wei would say that.

Shi Wei smiled and said: "I saw the little bear's disgusted face, but I always feed it some of what I eat."

Cang Hai said: "I don't eat fat! It's not that I really like it!"

Cang Hai's words hadn't finished yet, Little Bear had already eaten all the food on the stone slab, not only ate all the food, but even licked the slate with his tongue, making the slate wet.

After licking the slate, Xiong squeezed to Cang Hai and sat down, staring at everyone's mouths, it seemed that he was not full yet, and wanted to come over and eat some more meat.

The big guy threw something into the little bear's mouth from time to time, whether it was meat or vegetables, the little guy would always eat it clean.

After Cang Hai and the others finished eating the food in their bowls, the food on the several plates on the ground was gone. They didn't eat much, and half of it went into the little bear's mouth.

The little bear opened his two round bean eyes and saw that the plates on the ground were all gone, so he realized that there was nothing to eat, so he took two steps back and found a clean piece of grass to lie down on.

"I'll go, you guys have to be the first one at any time, even taking a nap." Cang Hai stretched out his foot and lightly kicked the little bear's chubby buttocks, laughing and cursing.

The little bear didn't move and let Cang Hai kick him, and continued to rest his fat forehead on his front paws, staring at the grass in front of him in a daze.After a while, the two little peas narrowed their eyes, and the little snoring started to fight.

But even when he was sleeping, the little bear remained vigilant, and would open his eyes to take a look around if there was any trouble around him.

Wu Hui and Ping An washed the dishes and put them back on the cart. They entered the tent and took a small lunch break. They didn't care much about working outside, so they each took a place in the tent and began to sleep.

After resting for about an hour, I got up and continued to work.

When the sun was about to set, Cang Hai took Tian's family to pack up their things and prepare to go back to the village.

He brought Shang Qingyun and his group, so Cang Hai had to bring them back at night, but when he arrived at the camp, he found that these people were not in the camp, so he had to wait in the camp.

After waiting for almost half an hour, it was dark and there was still no one, so Cang Hai became a little anxious. Don't look at the people like Cang Hai moving freely in the valley, but it is actually quite easy for a stranger to get lost here, and today is not a coincidence Hutou didn't come with Cang Hai.

"Ping'an, you can look for it over there, I'll look for it across the pond...".

Cang Hai was preparing to assign tasks, when a voice came from the side of the pond, carefully distinguish who else could be in the group other than Shang Qingyun.

Cang Hai drove the ugly donkey and brought Shi Wei and the others to meet him.

"Why don't you come back earlier, we are all going to find you separately, it's easy to get lost here," Cang Hai said.

Hearing what Cang Hai said, Shang Qingyun immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we found another rare rook here, so I was a little bit worried about the delay."

Speaking of which, Shang Qingyun signaled everyone to get on the car, and after he got on the cart, he mentioned to Cang Hai about finding a guide.

"Cang Hai, we want to find a guide tomorrow, can you help us find a suitable one?" Mr. Shang Qingyun said.

Cang Hai thought for a while and smiled wryly: "This is really not suitable. If the guide is safe except for me, other people really rarely come here, but you also know that it is the planting season here, so there is no need I won’t have any time to come and run with you.”

Shang Qingyun frowned immediately upon hearing this.

Shi Wei interjected at this time: "Actually, there are two more people who can be called guides!"

"Who?"

As soon as Cang Hai asked the words out of his mouth, he immediately remembered that he was familiar with Fenghuanggou and Jiazituo not only himself and Ping An, but also Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng, who almost used the old man's hand when they were free. I went around Canghai's territory, and I know where the bamboo shoots grow well, and which wild fruit on the tree is delicious. It's really suitable to be a guide, let alone the two of them are idlers in the whole village.

Shang Qingyun and Fan Xiaoxia also asked in unison: "Who?"

Shi Wei said: "Qu Bo, Qu Guowei and Xu Bo and Xu Sheng".

Shang Qingyun was stunned when he heard the expression on his face.

Although they are old acquaintances, they haven't said a word since last night. When they met, they treated each other as if they didn't exist. Now it's really uncomfortable to hear that the two of them can be guides.

Fan Xiaoxia laughed and said, "Then I'll talk to them in the evening!"

Shang Qingyun glanced at his wife, then silently looked away.

Fan Xiaoxia said: "People who are buried up to their necks in loess, there is nothing to talk about, isn't it just the little things from before."

Shang Qingyun was stunned for a while, then sighed and said: "Where is it that I can't let go, it's obvious that Xu Sheng has a knot in his heart!"

Hearing what her husband said, Fan Xiaoxia said: "Then you will go with me later."

Shang Qingyun nodded after listening.

When the group returned to the village, the lights were already on at the door of every house. There was a circle of people squatting at the entrance of the village and at the east end of the village, holding a big bowl in their hands and sucking. It seemed that they had just had dinner.

After chatting with everyone at the entrance of the village, Cang Hai put down Shang Qingyun and five people, and drove the cart back to cook.
