slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 361 Ugly Cat
After the dinner was ready, Cang Hai’s family ate around the table. The dinner was very simple. There were two vegetarian dishes, one scrambled eggs with tomatoes, one fried shredded spinach, and two meat dishes were braised carp in soy sauce and roasted chicken with edamame. The main food was not rice, but Flatbread, a few pieces of dough flatbread sent by Li Liren last night, although a little cold, but still soft and fragrant in the mouth.

"What's the matter?" Cang Hai looked at Meng Meng and asked.

The little girl Mengmeng has been a little dishonest since eating, she either scratches this side or touches that side, and from time to time picks up the things in the bowl and feeds it under the table. , standing by the table with a big grin, waiting for Mengmeng to throw something.

"Have you eaten at Grandpa Li's house?" Shi Wei looked up and asked Mengmeng.

Mengmeng nodded: "Eat a little!"

Look at her appearance, she didn't just eat a little bit, it seemed that she had eaten up to her throat, and she hardly moved a bowl of rice.

Cang Hai asked: "Is the food that Second Grandpa Li cooks so delicious?"

Meng Meng grinned and smiled at Cang Hai without speaking.

Shi Wei said: "Since you are full, let's go play."

After hearing this, Mengmeng immediately stood up from the small bench, threw off her two short legs and ran towards the outside.

Shi Wei looked at Mengmeng's back and went out the door, then turned to Cang Hai and asked, "Should Mengmeng go to kindergarten?"

"Send it to kindergarten at such a young age?" Cang Hai couldn't help being stunned when he heard Shi Wei's words.

To be honest, Cang Hai didn't want to send his younger sister to kindergarten, mainly out of love for her, and felt that the little girl had a hard life before, so she wanted to keep her by her side for two more years.

Shi Wei knew Cang Hai's thoughts, and opened her mouth to persuade: "I think it's better to send it to kindergarten, and now the road is open, and the car is easy to get in and out. Look how happy Mengmeng is playing with children of the same age now. And it doesn't mean that she will disappear after being sent to kindergarten, and she won't be able to come back at night? Besides, even if we stay, can we keep her forever?"

"I just want to wait for her to grow up and hire a man to come back and live next door to me, so I can see her all day long," Cang Hai said quietly.

After hearing this, Shi Wei didn't know what to say, so she held back for a long time and said to Cang Hai: "Are you raising a younger sister or a daughter?"

"Is there any difference?" Cang Hai asked back.

Shi Wei opened her mouth to persuade again: "Nowadays, the transportation is well developed and children can receive a lot of information. How do you know that you don't want to go to the outside world to see when Mengmeng grows up?"

"Just watch it. It's not like I don't have money, so I can't afford to stay in a hotel? Come back after reading it. The food outside is as safe as ours?" Cang Hai said.

Shi Wei was a little annoyed now, and patted the table lightly: "Education, education, I mean Meng Meng wants to receive education, she can't herd sheep like this every day, and you don't know that she always follows us and can't get in touch with her peers." It is also very detrimental to her physical and mental development."

"Is there such a saying?"

Cang Hai didn't take it seriously, didn't he live well now that he left his mother early and lost his father when he was young?Still laying down a piece of land, can Mengmeng grow up with his own pain?
"Yes, you didn't notice Mengmeng's eyes when he was playing with his friends, he was much happier than being with us, than being with the iron-headed slippery head, although there may be a little friction between the children, there will be some quarrels and even Fighting is a necessary process for growing up, we are not responsible for her by protecting her like this..." Shi Wei opened her mouth and said.

Cang Hai listened carefully and felt that what Shi Wei said seemed to make sense, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Send it to kindergarten? It takes two and a half hours to drive back and forth in one day, and there is a round trip to the town every day?"

"It's not just our family who send their children, there are several other families. I will discuss with them later. Each family will send their children every four or five days."

"or……"

Before Cang Hai finished speaking, Shi Wei said: "You don't think about opening the kindergarten to the village, do you? There are only a few children in the village, and they don't get slapped when they are full. How many teachers are you going to find?"

"There will be more soon."

Cang Hai felt a little embarrassed, there were indeed few children in the village, there was nothing to do about it, the village was full of dozens of households, and the boys of the right age were still bachelors, where did the school-age children come from?Even if everyone gets married this year, it doesn't mean that there will be children.

"It will take at least four or five years to wait for your horse, and Mengmeng will be able to go to elementary school in four or five years," Shi Wei said.

Cang Hai hummed, expressing his agreement with Shi Wei's opinion, and was about to say something when suddenly the door curtain opened, and a fluffy head squeezed in.

"Hey, rare guest, where did your old man come back from? How many days are you planning to stay at home this time?"

Cang Hai said something strangely to the guy at the door.

A fat cat came in at the door, a very fat and fat cat. It was also stronger than the average cat, almost twice its size, with a short body, a big head, and long hair. It looked strange. of an ugly cat.It's almost a square shape, which is really ugly.

It is the kitten picked up by Mengmeng last year. It may be because of its good nutrition that it has developed this appearance. This cat is different from the cats in the village. It likes to run outside all day when it is not at home. Six days, seven or eight days are not accurate.Another feature of this work is that the cat grows very fast, and it grows bigger in a few months than other cats with more than a year.

Cang Hai has seen it as many times as she can count on one hand since she was raised as a kitten. Ever since she was able to run and jump, she left home and wandered around. Every time she came back, she went around and disappeared again. She used the house as a hotel Yes, I am happy to come back and live for two days, but if I am not happy, I will disappear. It is really not a good thing!

If it is said that Sijiaping is the most inconspicuous, Cang Hai would not choose Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng, but this big-headed ugly cat raised by himself.

"Ow!"

The cat roared softly, and the sound was not pleasant, as if something was stuck in its throat.

The cat and Cang Hai were not close. After entering the house, he walked directly to Shi Wei's side, then bowed and jumped onto Shi Wei's lap, then found a comfortable position and lay down, and began to close his eyes and take a nap.

The cat didn't want to talk to Cang Hai, and Cang Hai didn't want to see the cat either, one person and one cat ignored each other.

After finishing the meal, leaving Pingan and Wu Hui to clean up the table, Cang Hai left the kitchen with his hands behind his back, ready to go outside for a walk.Shi Shiwei hugged the fat cat and walked beside Cang Hai, constantly asking if the cat was hungry or not.

Cang Hai glanced at Fat Cat: "Does it look like it's hungry? The meat on its stomach is about to fall off, so it's okay to be ugly."

Seeing Cang Hai stretch out his hand to touch him, Fat Mao immediately uttered a warning sound, causing Cang Hai's outstretched hand to hang in mid-air in embarrassment.

"One day I will stew you into a simmering soup" Cang Hai said bitterly.

A few jars of goat's milk gave birth to an out-of-the-ordinary cat, which made Cang Hai unhappy. It's fine if you say you can't catch mice. Few cats in the village can catch them, but how come Jie runs out all day and doesn't come home? thing?

Other people's cats can still have nothing to do, let the owner play with them, and create the value of existence. The ugly cat I raise is good, and I don't stay at home all day. When I stay at home, there are five people and six people. Don't be angry, except for Mengmeng and Shi Wei, don't even try to touch anyone, fierceness is light, hard touch will bite, it's really not a thing.

"You have nothing to do, why scare it?" Shi Wei hugged the ugly cat upside down, said something to Cang Hai, then lifted the cat up and rubbed her cheek.

The ugly cat is very honest in Shi Wei's arms, and seems to enjoy Shi Wei's kissing very much. Its big eyes are half-closed, its small mouth is slightly opened, and its ears are also attached to its forehead. The short and thick ugly tail is still Put it on.

Cang Hai glanced at it and didn't want to see the splash of this thing anymore.

"Meow meow!"

At this moment, a cat in the village found the ugly cat in Shi Wei's arms, immediately arched its back, and kept meowing.

As soon as the ugly cat heard the meow, it immediately opened its eyes, and stretched out its huge ugly forehead to look at the cat on the ground. At the same time, it twisted its body and jumped out of Shi Wei's arms, and yelled at the ground. The caught cat rushed over.

When the cat on the ground took a look, it suddenly felt like its soul was flying away, and it turned around and ran like a happy man, calling like a pig while running.

"Meow!"

"Ow!"

The ugly cat also uttered a cry, and its fat little body was surprisingly flexible, and it chased after the cat.

Cang Hai looked at the two cats chasing Sui, and suddenly felt that his ugly cat must be thinking of this sentence: You run, you run, the more you resist, the more excited I am!

Although he didn't know what was going on in his mind that such a scene would appear, Cang Hai felt that a fat ugly cat chasing a slender and beautiful kitten was like a villain chasing a weak little girl.

The scene is very eye-catching!

In just a few breaths, no matter whether the kitten climbed a tree or flew over a wall, it finally fell into the hands of the 'villain'. The ugly cat of the Cang Hai family threw the kitten down in just one round. Hold the kitten's neck.

Shi Wei immediately said to the ugly cat: "Let go, let go, you are going to kill Grandpa Li's kitten!"

Hearing Shi Wei's voice, the ugly cat let go of the kitten. Once the kitten escaped, its whole body seemed to be paralyzed by fright. After walking a few steps, it let go of its feet and disappeared.

The ugly cat stared at the direction where the kitten disappeared, and then lazily returned to Shi Wei's side, holding up its short tail like a general returning from victory, circling around Shi Wei's feet , and at the same time made an unpleasant screaming sound.

"He will do some crooked ways, and if he has the guts to do something serious, catch a mouse or something!" Cang Hai was not happy with this ugly cat.

How can Cang Hai feel good about raising a cat but losing the fun of petting the cat for no reason?

The young couple slipped down the slope. Li Liren and Hu Shijie, two old men, were smoking cigarettes outside. The two old men squatted on the edge of the platform, leaning against the parapet, chatting softly while smoking.

Seeing Cang Hai's young couple walking over, he nodded towards the young couple.

Seeing the ugly cat at Shi Wei's feet, Hu Shijie joked with a smile: "Your family finally has an ugly thing! Look at this cat, it's ugly and fat! Why does this cat look like this? It seems that its body is missing Like a piece."

"I can't help it. I eat meat all day long. What's not fat?" Li Liren also joked.

"You two seem to have a very easy day to live, and you still have the energy to chat at night." Cang Hai also joked about the two old men.

"Now this job is easy to do. When the ground is plowed and the machine is pushed like this, the melon seedlings are planted in the field like pushing a cart. How can it be said that it is tiring? Growing crops in the past was a tiring job." Well, at night, I can’t straighten my waist, so what is this little work!” Hu Shijie said.

Li Liren suddenly remembered something, and asked Cang Hai: "Haiwazi, didn't you say you were planting rice? Why hasn't there been any movement until now?"

Cang Hai smiled and said: "What's the rush? Anyway, the climate here in Canghai only crops once a year. I will plant rice after the watermelons are finished. Anyway, I can use machines for transplanting rice seedlings. I don’t care if I plant them. Now, in autumn, you can harvest as much as you can, it's completely pollution-free rice."

"Forget about eating rice, no matter how much rice you eat, you will feel hungry at night," Hu Shijie said.

"When will the Japanese machine arrive?" Li Liren asked again.

Cang Hai said: "Come on, it's only been two days."

After chatting with the two old men for a while, Cang Hai and Shi Wei continued to eat.
