slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 380 Bloodstone

After spending the night at the old man's house, the next afternoon, Cang Huo took Shi Wei back to Sijiaping.After two or three days, Shi Zhenbang took Wang Zhenzhen and said he would come over.

Waiting for the day to come, Cang Hai and Shi Wei stood at the entrance of the village and kept looking at the road.

Seeing Shi Wei took out the phone again, Cang Hai quickly said: "Stop making calls, Dad is driving so don't let him be distracted!"

After hearing this, Shi Wei put the phone in her pocket, and when she raised her hand, she checked the watch on her hand: "It's too slow, my dad drives like ants crawling."

"It's nothing, just slow down, safety first," Cang Hai said nonchalantly.

"Haiwazi, what are you doing?"

Wei Wenkui's voice came from behind.

Cang Hai turned his head and found that Old Uncle Wei was driving a cart out of the village, and several of his peers from the village were sitting on the cart, including Hu Mingshan and Li Dan.

"What are you doing here?" Cang Hai looked at this group of people and asked.

Li Dan said happily: "Your Uncle Wei took us to sign up for driving lessons!"

Shi Wei smiled and said: "Uncle Li, you are forming a group, is there any discount?"

Wei Wenkui said: "What's the discount? It's just that I can learn from my original coach together."

"You can use our family's car to practice when you come back to practice." Shi Wei was very generous.

However, Wei Wenkui waved his hand: "I can't practice, the practice is messed up, your cars are all in N and D gears, which are different from the cars in the driving school. They didn't get the car you practiced before, and then they will go to the examination room. You can't keep your head buzzing."

The young couple Canghai couldn't help being amused when they heard this. The cars at home are all automatic transmissions. If the driving school's car is C1, it must be manual transmission, and it is estimated that most of the cars are old Poussin.It is also impossible for them to learn C2 because it is five or six hundred more expensive to learn automatic transmission.

"I won't talk to you anymore, we're on our way." Wei Wenkui waved his whip, and the cart pulled a carload of people out of the village.

At this time, Shi Wei raised her eyes and saw a black car appearing at the bottom of the opposite slope, and she knew her parents had come.

"I'm coming!"

Shi Wei said happily.

Li Dan, who was sitting on the cart, asked curiously, "Who's here?"

"My father and mother," Shi Wei said.

"That's what it should be. Take them to live in the village for two days. Now there's not much work to do in the village!" What did he say.

Shi Wei looked at the cart, and asked Cang Hai: "Friend Zhang Jiusheng doesn't want this horse anymore?"

Cang Hai glanced at the cart that was about to disappear from his sight and said: "How would I know, Zhang Jiusheng really did it with his temper, but it must have been compensated by others. It’s hard to say if you’re not happy.”

Having said this, Cang Hai laughed.

What a coincidence, otherwise, you can't talk about people behind your back, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.At this time Zhang Jiusheng just came out from the village.

"What are you two doing standing at the entrance of the village?" Zhang Jiusheng drove his own domineering, saw Cang Hai and Shi Wei standing at the entrance of the village, stopped the car, and asked with his head out of the car window.

Shi Wei smiled and said, "I'm talking about you!"

Zhang Jiusheng was taken aback when he heard this: "Say me, what are you talking about?"

Cang Hai said: "To say that you borrowed a horse is like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou and never repaying it!"

"It's not for nothing, okay? I introduced him to a relationship, and now he has a relationship with someone he couldn't match up with before. I'm not going to return the horse, and he's too embarrassed to ask me again. Well, he still took advantage of it," Zhang Jiusheng said with a smile.

Now Zhang Jiusheng has almost settled his home in Sijiaping. In the spring of this year, he also opened a vegetable field of more than two acres, leaving his wife to take care of it. Now Xiaohu also goes to school in the morning with a group of children in the village. When I go back to the village at night, I can't live in a house in the town for one day in a month.

Zhang Jiusheng came back about once a week, and today happened to be Monday, so this kid rushed back to the city early in the morning. Fortunately, the road here is clear, and he is also the boss, so he is not in a hurry.

"Let's go quickly if you have something to do." Cang Hai didn't want to talk to him too much.

Zhang Jiusheng, on the other hand, looked unhurried, and reminded Cang Hai, "Cang Hai, the fish in the lagoon can be caught!"

"You talk to Miao Zhengwei, what's the deal with me, the lagoon is not mine, it's from the village," Cang Hai said.

Zhang Jiusheng said: "I'll just tell you! I've already told Miao Zhengwei that this guy asked me to raise the purchase price, saying that the previous price was not appropriate."

"Then you argue with reason!" Cang Hai said.

Zhang Jiusheng said: "The price of lobsters has dropped this year!"

Shi Wei smiled and said: "The price of lobsters has dropped, but what size prawns are coming out now? It tastes like there is no meat in the tongs. Can it be the same as the ones in our village?"

"Don't complain!" Cang Hai said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiusheng waved his hands at the couple: "Hey, I can't talk to you two, let's go!"

Said and drove the car forward.

When I was just going downhill, I happened to meet Shi Zhenbang and his wife who were going uphill. When the two cars passed each other, they said hello to each other and then went their separate ways.

After receiving Shi Zhenbang and his wife, Cang Hai led the way on foot, and when he arrived at the entrance of his own kiln, he motioned for the couple to park their car to the west of the kiln.

"Dad, Mom, is it okay to go on the road?" Cang Hai asked.

"Your dad doesn't dare to drive too much! He's not as timid as I am," Wang Zhenzhen said with a smile.

After hearing this, Shi Zhenbang replied, "Do you dare to drive? Who kept yelling for me to stay away from the slope?"

Cang Hai and Shi Wei smiled and took their luggage from the car, and then arranged it in the guest room.

Shi Zhenbang and Wang Zhenzhen followed behind the young couple, looking at the surrounding environment and nodding their heads.

"I didn't expect the environment in your village to be so good, much better than the county seat. Look at this big water tower, and look at this wall with blue bricks and white seams. It's a bit old-fashioned..." Shi Zhenbang said.

Wang Zhenzhen said: "When we didn't come, your father and I felt that this place was still a loess wall like other villages. When we came here, we realized that you have done a good job here. There are golden yellow walls hanging on the blue walls. Corn on the cob, red pepper, really beautiful, very farm taste."

Shi Wei stood at the door and opened the door, letting Shi Zhenbang and Wang Zhenzhen enter the room, while herself and Cang Hai carried the suitcases and placed them beside the bed.

"Dad, Mom, I'll get you some water." After Cang Hai finished speaking, he turned and left the kiln, came to the kitchen and came back with a pot of boiling water.

I took two teacups on the table, scalded them with boiling water, squeezed a little tea into it, brewed them happily, and brought them to the side of the two.

Shi Wei was chatting with the old couple, while Cang Hai took Lanzi to the vegetable garden below to pick vegetables.

Waiting for the dishes to be picked, they found that Shi Wei and the old couple were already sitting in the kitchen, so everyone started cooking together.

Wang Zhenzhen asked Shi Wei while choosing vegetables: "Hey, didn't you say that you have a lot of people in your family, why are there only four of us now?"

Shi Wei smiled and said, "Ping An and Wu Hui went to learn how to drive. Isn't it Monday? Mengmeng went to school. If you don't come home, Cang Hai and I will be left."

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the house, Cang Hai stretched out his head and saw Xu Sheng, Mr. Xu was walking towards his kitchen with his hands behind his back, smiling all over his face.

"Uncle Xu, when did you come back?" Cang Hai didn't even stand up, and asked with a smile while choosing the dishes, and after asking, he stretched his head and glanced behind him.

Xu Sheng said with a smile: "Don't look, old man Qu will come here a few days later. I arrived early in the morning! Who is this?"

Xu Sheng didn't know Shi Zhenbang and Wang Zhenzhen because he missed Cang Hai's wedding.

"My father, my mother, this is Uncle Xu!" Shi Wei introduced.

Shi Zhenbang, who stood up, was in a bit of trouble now, because he found that he didn't know how to address him, because his daughter's name was Xu Sheng Xu Bo, and he should be called Old Xu, but Xu Sheng looked much older than himself. What, Uncle Xu?It's not appropriate, then aren't I and my daughter the same generation?

Seeing the doubts of her parents, Shi Wei said with a smile: "Everyone in the village is called Uncle Xu, men, women and children are called that, and children are called that too."

After hearing this, Shi Zhenbang exclaimed: "Uncle Xu is quite healthy."

"That's just to make up! Cang Hai, how about Uncle Xu coming to your house today to have a good time?" Xu Sheng was not polite.

Cang Hai naturally wouldn't mind, and said with a big smile, "That's great, come over and choose vegetables, no work, no reap!"

Xu Sheng smiled and pulled out his hands behind his back. Only then did everyone realize that Xu Sheng was holding a brocade box in his hand. The brocade box was not too big, only about ten centimeters square.

"You guys didn't get married in time, the gift came a bit late, let's see if you like it!" Xu Sheng said and handed the box to Cang Hai.

Cang Hai wiped his hands on the apron, took the brocade box and opened it in public.

Inside the brocade box is a piece of blood-red stone printing material. The body of the printing is an irregular long strip of about [-] centimeters. On the top is carved a dragon and a phoenix showing auspiciousness. On such a small area, a dragon and a phoenix are carved, and Being able to follow the texture of the stone, the original stone is very beautiful, and the jade is as warm and natural, and the carving is even better.

"Ah, Changhua chicken blood stone?" Shi Zhenbang recognized it all at once.

Cang Hai has seen it before, because the teacher Guan Qidong has a bloodstone seal, the teacher's one is already amazing, now the one in his hand is obviously better than the teacher's one, the price is really It's not easy to say.

"Is it too expensive?" Cang Hai glanced at Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng said with a smile: "If you give it to you, you can keep it. I have several dollars for this thing!"

Cang Hai was not too polite, he just took the things and handed them to Shi Zhenbang.

"Brother is also a rock lover?" Xu Sheng really didn't expect Shi Zhenbang to recognize the chicken blood stone all at once, and said Changhua chicken blood stone in one sentence.

Shi Zhenbang said: "I have seen a piece in my father's hand before, and he often used it to play with it, but then I don't know where the stone went...".

"Oh! That's a pity." Xu Sheng nodded, not knowing what it meant.

The two of them didn't choose to pick up the dishes, and got together to discuss the chicken blood stone. Of course, it was mainly Xu Sheng who was talking, and Shi Zhenbang was listening, adding a few words from time to time, most of them still praised Xu Sheng.

Shi Zhenbang is flattering, but Mr. Xu Sheng is like a spring breeze here. He knows everything with a smile, and he can talk endlessly. From time to time, he can pull a historical story, showing his profound Chinese cultural skills.

Seeing Cang Hai, he whispered to Shi Wei's ear: "I didn't expect that Dad is still a sycophant, look at Uncle Xu!"

After hearing this, Shi Wei turned her head and stared at Cang Hai.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a voice.

"It's not good, it's not good, something happened!"

Cang Hai and the others immediately stood up when they heard this, and walked out of the kitchen.

When I went outside, I found that Li Wan had a panicked expression on his face, and his running posture was a bit abnormal.

Cang Hai immediately asked: "What happened?"

Li Wan replied loudly: "It's dead, it's dead!"

Cang Hai and the others were shocked when they heard this, and immediately asked, "Who died?"

"I don't know!" Li Wan said loudly.

Cang Hai was confused when he heard that: "You don't know who died?"

"I don't know!" Li Wan shouted loudly: "My brother and I went to dig bamboo shoots in the morning, and we walked a few steps into the woods to find some tender ones, and then found a man half kneeling in the woods. , I thought it was alive at first, but who knew that when I went to see it, I found that my body was cold... ".
