slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 394

At noon, just as Cang Hai picked up his rice bowl, he heard Li Liren's voice coming and going at the door.

"Haiwazi! Hey, where did you just eat?" Li Liren pushed open the curtain at the entrance of the kiln, saw a table of people gathered around the table by Canghai and prepared to eat, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Li Liren, Cang Hai said politely, "Second Grandpa Li, sit down and have something to eat?"

Li Liren immediately waved his hands twice, seeing that Ping An stood up and was about to give up the bench for himself, he immediately said: "No, no, we've eaten, I'll just say a few words and leave, there are still some things at home!"

After speaking, he turned to Cang Hai and asked, "Haiwazi, I heard that you are going to the city this afternoon?"

"Well, I'm going to pick up the teacher and the others. It's been agreed a long time ago. Is he going to come to us to sketch with a group of students? I'm officially here today, and I'll be in the city after three o'clock." Cang Hai nodded and said.

Li Liren said: "That's just right, call me when you leave, I just happen to take a car to the county seat."

"Okay!" Cang Hai responded, "Let's set off after dinner. By the way, I will trouble you to cook some food when the students come over. I can't cook big pot dishes."

"No problem! Anyway, bringing them here is nothing more than a few more pairs of chopsticks." Li Liren patted his chest in response.

Since the money was distributed last time, everyone's enthusiasm for work has been unprecedentedly high. First, Li Licheng and Li Liren's family had a meal together, and finally Li Lida's family also joined in, and later Wei Wenkui's family also joined in. The time for cooking is saved. Although Li Licheng and his wife are missing, the rest of them can do more work.

Comparing the two, it is more cost-effective for the old couple to cook.

In this way, Li Liren's old couple became the leaders of the village again. Except for Cang Hai and Zhang Jiusheng's wife and daughters, other families, including the old man Xu Sheng, began to eat big pot meals.

"Alright then, I'll call you later," Cang Hai said.

Li Liren turned around and was about to leave when Pingan opened his mouth and asked, "Second Grandpa Li, what are you doing in the county?"

"Hey, what else can there be? Children are debts!" ​​Li Liren sighed, lifted the curtain and walked out of the kiln.

Cang Hai's group were stunned, because what the old man said meant he didn't say anything, who knew what he was talking about, but fortunately, everyone was not a gossip, and Li Licheng didn't want to ask if he didn't say anything.

After the meal, Cang Hai arranged for everyone to take a small nap first, and wait for the sun to be less hot before going to work in Fenghuanggou.It’s already July, and the temperature in the sun is quite high. Although the environment around Sijiaping is better and there are more forests, the weather is just when it should be hot. No amount of trees can stop the heat from the sky. , go out for a while casually, everyone is sweating profusely when they come back, and they are still comfortable in the kiln.

Of course, the Phoenix Valley in Canghai is not bad either, provided you stay in the shade and not be exposed to the sun.But harvesting melons is not to cool off, how could it not be under the sun.

There was nothing to clean up. Cang Hai drove the Mercedes-Benz to the entrance of the village. After stopping, he called Grandpa Li to the bottom of the slope to inform him that he could leave.

Li Liren had been waiting at home for a long time, when he heard Cang Hai call him, he immediately got into Cang Hai's car with a small bag and Xiao Pao.

"Your car is more comfortable!" As soon as Li Liren got into the car, he immediately felt that his whole body was wrapped in a wave of cold air.

Cang Hai smiled and started the car: "Your family can get together and buy one by the end of the year."

"What are you buying it for? Firstly, it can't be used to carry goods, and secondly, it can't hold people. Our family is discussing to buy a small golden cup. It can be used to carry goods after unloading the back row, and it can be used to carry people when it is installed with a chair," Li Liren said with a smile.

The folks look down on Canghai's big Benz, not because of the price, but because of its usefulness. For the folks, buying a car is a big deal, and you have to think about it, one by one. I was thinking about pulling people, and I was also thinking about getting some goods from time to time. In this case, cars and SUVs were all eliminated, leaving only MPVs or small passenger cars with nine seats or less.

Considering the price again, the price of these domestically produced cars is good. In their opinion, isn’t the car a good one?When discussing buying a car for the first time, all the villagers unanimously put the price in the most critical position.People didn't care about Cang Hai's opinion at all.

Cang Hai and Li Liren were driving the car while chatting.

After a while, Li Liren himself couldn't help thinking about Qian Tu, and asked Cang Hai: "Haiwazi, can you tell me that next year we can increase our income from the current level?"

Now Li Liren really wants to persuade his son to come back. He earns only 30 yuan a year outside, and now he only earns such an income after working in the village for more than half a year. Why bother to work for others? Quan seemed to be determined, insisting on insisting on it!
Li Liren thought that if his income could be higher, his son Li Quan might be able to figure it out.

"How do I know this? How much melons you can grow will make you as much money as you can. Every extra field will earn you more," Cang Hai said.

Cang Hai also didn't come to Li Liren's side and wanted to bring his son back to grow melons. Now Li Quan and Lai'an are two special cases in Sijiaping Village. One will never come back, and the other will not work!
The two of them were chatting here, when they suddenly heard a burst of noise from overhead, Cang Hai stopped the car, put the gear in neutral, pressed the window and stuck his head out of the window, looked up and found a car A helicopter was flying over his head.

The helicopter was flying very low, or as high as a ten-story building. Cang Hai's eyes were very good, and he saw the pilot sitting in the helicopter at a glance, and there was a familiar figure beside him.

Li Liren also saw the people in the helicopter, and shouted at Cang Hai: "Hai Wazi, I'm not mistaken, it seems that Professor Shang is in the plane?!"

"You're not mistaken, it's him!" Cang Hai replied loudly.

Now Shang Qingyun also saw Cang Hai, waving at Cang Hai and Li Liren from the helicopter, he looked like a primary school student riding a new bicycle yelling at his classmates.

"Where's the helicopter?" Li Liren asked.

"At first glance, it's from the military region. There are people in his family. Besides, he took advantage of the opportunity of doing research to find a military plane. It's expected. Alright, let's go!" Cang Hai said while talking. The head was shrunk back.

I sat back in the car again, and as soon as the window was closed, the noise from the helicopter disappeared slowly.

Next, the focus of the conversation between the two turned to the helicopter. Li Liren began to regret that he came out today. If he stayed in the village today, he might be able to take a helicopter ride today.

Cang Hai didn't care, he drove Li Liren all the way to the county seat, and then joined the yellow-card passenger car he rented to pick him up at the city's high-speed railway station.

Listening to the announcement from the high-speed rail station that the high-speed rail from Magic City has entered the station, Cang Hai and Master Si smiled and said, "Let's go, people are coming!"

The driver cheerfully followed Cang Hai out of the car, then closed the door, dragged out a small flat-bed cart from the back of the car and walked towards the exit together with Cang Hai.

The master was very happy to take this job, not only the price offered by Cang Hai was good, but Cang Hai also gave away a pack of cigarettes when we met. Now there are not many customers who are so particular, so the master wants to show enthusiasm, I hope Next time this guy rents a car, he will still think of himself.

The two waited for about six or seven minutes, and Cang Hai saw his teacher's figure at a glance, and at the same time saw the group of youthful faces following him.

When Cang Hai landed on their luggage, they couldn't help being a little speechless, because the least luggage of this group was also an oversized suitcase, the kind that could fit two or three quilts. There are two such suitcases, not including the large backpack on the back.

The driver's attention was not on the luggage, but he was muttering: "The girls in the city are taller than our women here!"

Cang Hai turned his head and smiled when he heard this, and turned to greet the teacher.

No matter how the girls in the county town dress up, they can't get as much fashion information as the girls in Shanghai, and now the girls in big cities are famous for daring to wear them. Wearing shorts has half of their buttocks outside, so be bolder. There is a curtain on the chest and it comes out, which girl in the small county dares to wear it like this.

"Teacher! Here it is!"

Guan Qidong also saw Cang Hai, smiled and nodded at Cang Hai, raised his hand and waved twice, then turned his head, and said a few words to the two young men and women in their thirties beside him.

One can tell at a glance that these two are the two teachers who led the sketching team with Guan Qidong.

Everyone met and greeted each other, then went to the parking lot. When they arrived at the parking lot, Cang Hai and the master loaded their luggage together, because these people brought too much luggage, and if they put it in the car, no one would be unoccupied. There is a luggage rack on the bus, which can just put everyone's luggage on the roof, which perfectly solves this problem.

After putting the luggage, all the students got into the passenger car, and Guan Qidong and the two teachers who led the team got into Cang Hai's Mercedes-Benz.

"Has the road been repaired?" Guan Qidong sat in the passenger seat as soon as he got in the car, and the first thing he said after putting on his seat belt was to ask for directions.

Cang Hai replied: "It's what it used to be. The county only paid enough to build such a road, and it's not enough!"

"Not even an asphalt road has been built into the village?" asked a teacher.

He didn't think the roads in the village were bad, but he felt that there was only one gravel road that was 20 years behind because of the massive infrastructure construction in the whole country.

Cang Hai said: "In the past, the village was ready to be demolished, and everyone moved out together to live together with water and electricity, but a lot of things happened later, so our village was not relocated. Compared with the coastal area, it is even worse than the Shanghai city. There is a lack of money here. The county really saved money from teeth to build this road. If it was released before, you would have to take a cattle cart to get in and out of the village. ".

"Actually, it's not bad to ride a cattle cart. It's a different experience." Another female teacher pushed her glasses and said with a smile.

"That's fine. There are a lot of animals in the village. There are cattle, sheep, horses and mules. When the time comes, if you want to experience the carts pulled by animals, let someone set them up for you," Cang Hai replied.

"Is there any problem with the accommodation?" Guan Qidong deliberately asked one more question.

"No problem, I think girls accounted for more than half, and the boys may have to live with Professor Shang Qingyun's assistant!" Cang Hai said.

After hearing this, Guan Qidong said: "No problem! At that time, Xiao Wang, I, and the boys will live with the monk, and you, Xiao Lin, will live with the girls."

"no problem!"

They all came out to sketch, so it would be nice to have a place to live, for example, when Teacher Xiao Wang and Teacher Xiao Lin used to sketch, it would be nice to have a shelter from the rain when they went to some remote places, not to mention that Canghai is still very quiet. There are clean cave dwellings to live in and baths to wash in. It is a good place to stay.

The high-speed rail station is a little bit far away, and it is even more farther away from the city. When you get on the national highway, except for the street trees on both sides, you rarely see a large area of ​​green space. It was distorted, and there were dense heat waves everywhere.

When entering the hills, the mountain-like momentum and the rugged and undulating slopes are like giant khaki dragons lying on the vast land. The further the car goes, the more intense the ups and downs of the terrain, even In some places, a strange thorn-leaved shrub can grow on the cliff formed by loess. The dry and solid branches almost seem to be dead, and there is only a little greenness on the branches, which proves that they are still alive.

"Wow, the scenery here is so majestic!"

The two first-time teachers looked out the window and said with emotion.

"When you get to the village of Canghai, you will feel that the flowers are bright!" Guan Qidong said with a smile.
