slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 398
Cang Hai was very speechless looking at the group of people sitting on the ground, to be precise, the group of people who came to steal melons, besides the people, there were five or six animals, either old donkeys or old cows, anyway, a strong animal Not at all, it is quite compatible with these people on the ground, because these people are old men and old ladies, and it is estimated that there are none under fifty.

There are also small ones, about seven or eight years old, and no more than ten years old at most, and they are all left-behind children at first glance.

Hu Shijie walked to Cang Hai's side at this time, and signaled to some young people in the village with strong flashlights: "Don't take photos, they are all from the villagers, and they are not young, so don't damage their eyes! "

Hearing what Hu Shijie said, the young man moved away the bright flashlight in his hand.Originally, the photos were not aimed at people's eyes, but now the lights are removed from these people.

Young people are not too polite to these melon thieves.

Because throwing a melon costs thousands of dollars, this is a lot of loss for the family, and these days, the whole family can say that as long as they can work in the field, they all work, just to make the melons grow well. Some, can make some more money.

Now, when encountering these melon thieves, stealing money from their own pockets, how can young people not hate it.

Hu Shijie glanced at the faces of these melon thieves, and soon discovered that there were a few old guys he knew among them.

"Hey, old Yaotou, I didn't expect that even your old Yao is now doing something sneaky." Hu Shijie said to an old man who looked like he was seventy in the crowd.

The clothes on the old man's body were very torn, with no less than seven or eight patches, especially on the sleeves and neck, which were patched, which showed that the life at home was not very good.

Although the old man's clothes are very torn, they are very clean and tidy. One can tell at a glance that this family has a diligent woman who does the housework. The family life is poor but the spirit is actually good.

The old man who was called by Hu Shijie as the old man Yao didn't take it seriously, and continued to tap the dry pipe in his hand: "You old Hu hasn't lived a good life for a few days, why do you want to laugh at me?"

Li Lida interjected at this time: "When we were not having a good time, we were also a famous man, but we didn't want to steal things from our family's fields. What's the matter, you have a reason to come to our village to steal watermelons?"

"You Sijiaping are well-known men, but we stole it today. If you report to the official, report to the official. If you want to beat us, we will suffer. Anyway, if you can't be beaten to death or maimed, we will come in the future! It's not that we want to steal, Instead, we just want to be able to get some oil and water from your Sijiaping Village, you eat meat so much, we can also drink some soup, not thick soup, you have to give up a bowl or two of porridge, right?"

Lao Yao looked indifferent, and said while puffing on the dry smoke, his tone was plausible.

"You guys are still being unreasonable, don't you even want a face when you're alive?" Li Wan said to Lao Yao bitterly.

Lao Yao glanced at Li Wan: "Young man, when I was working hard for others, you were still playing with the mud with your sparrows on your back. Don't tell me the truth, we just want to let the family live. It's better, don't worry about it, it's not enough to drink soup after you? I'm already that old, so what if I don't want this old face? Also, when you beat devils before, who the hell beat you up? The old man was carried out from the pile of dead people, if there is no old man, how can we still have something like you?"

As soon as Li Wan heard this, he immediately shut up. There was no other way. There were many soldiers in the Northwest during the war of resistance.

Hu Shijie walked to Lao Yao's side, knelt down and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tore off the seal, popped one out and handed it to Lao Yao.

Lao Yao glanced at it, turned his hand holding the cigarette twice, and said with a smile: "You Sijiaping is really rich, you old button smokes 20 yuan a pack of cigarettes, it's not like us Still smoking old-fashioned cigarettes!"

As he spoke, Lao Yao clamped the cigarette to his ear, and continued to smoke his cigarette with lowered eyebrows.

Hu Shijie said: "Old Yao, it is useless for you to steal melons. The soil outside is not good for growing these melons. Even if you plant them well, the Japanese factory will not accept you. They have a contract with us. , and this thing is going to be sold abroad, they pay attention to intellectual property rights, you don't have... ".

"How do you know that the planting is not good? What if someone can plant it well?" Lao Yao raised his eyes and glanced at Hu Shijie and said indifferently.

Seeing this, Hu Shijie sighed: "Since you don't believe me, then I'll give you some seeds. You can go back and plant them yourself. Don't come here and steal them. You're a grown-up man. It's not shameful to do such a thing!"

After Hu Shijie finished speaking, he stood up.

Hearing what Hu Shijie said, the young people in the village were not happy, and they all shouted: "Why! Grandpa Hu, we don't agree!"

Hu Shijie looked at the young people, and said earnestly, "If they don't let them take some back to plant, they won't give up. Anyway, we haven't tried it ourselves!"

Hearing what Hu Shijie said, the young man fell silent.

The folks did try to grow watermelons last year, and it was on the land in the town. At that time, there were two or three families who planted watermelons, and the area they planted was not large. In fact, they were planted just for fun. There are more than ten melons, the melons are fruited, but they are not much different from ordinary watermelons. Although they look like Sijiaping melons, they are too small. The largest ones grown in the town weigh more than ten kilograms. It is far from the big ones grown in the village.

As for the factory sold to the Japanese, don't even think about it, there is no possibility at all, it might as well be that the bad secondary products here have a high content of ingredients.

Lao Yao looked at Hu Shijie and asked, "Are you really giving the seeds?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Hu Shijie said.

After hearing this, Lao Yao opened his mouth and asked again: "We don't want the seeds from your side, can we give the seeds from Cang Hai's family?"

Hu Shijie laughed and said, "You old man still picks seeds!"

"Don't think that we don't know. The best places for melons to grow here are Fenghuanggou and Jiazituo. The quality of your village is generally slightly worse than that of a young boy named Canghai."

Hu Shijie looked back at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai smiled: "I have no objection if you want it, I can pick the mother melon for you now!"

Without the tree of life, it would be impossible for these people to grow melons. Naturally, Cang Hai is not afraid of these people planting melons.Besides, Cang Hai is helpless now.

Hu Shijie didn't expect Cang Hai to agree so straightforwardly, he thought that Cang Hai would play tricks, and he planned to persuade Cang Hai.

But now that Cang Hai promised to go directly to the field to pick the mother melons, Hu Shijie suddenly had some doubts in his heart, thinking that Cang Hai shouldn't be so generous.

In fact, Cang Hai's heart has already been tricked by these people. After the melons are ripe, these people who come to steal the melons are wave after wave.

At the beginning, someone stole melons and sold them in a Japanese factory. One or two wanted to sell them to the factory at a price of one or two hundred. With Matsuda Akio as the gatekeeper, how could the factory accept these melons? The police arrested the melon seller.

After doing it a few times, these people didn't give up and didn't know what they thought. They stopped stealing male melons and changed to stealing female melons, ready to go home and grow them.

The male melon of this kind of melon is different from the female melon. The male melon looks like a big winter melon, while the female melon grows a lot smaller, and it is round and not slippery, which is very easy to distinguish.Not to mention adults, even children of five or six years old can tell the difference clearly.

The police are also very helpless, because one or two watermelons arrest people?In the past one month or so, no less than 100 people were arrested, and they were all old men and women, and even eight or nine-year-old milk babies.

Milk dolls can't be caught, but are old men and old ladies easy to catch?After this group of old men and women arrived in the detention center, they were beaten and scolded. Many of them suffered from geriatric diseases.

In the end, there was really no other way. The county bureau sent a report to the county, but the county didn't do anything about it. You can't call for killing and beating just because of a few hundred dollars. There is no such law. Later, these people were caught Just focus on persuasion and education, because there are too many people.

persuasion education?

It was nothing at all, so a group of old men and old ladies from time to time formed a team and brought their children to steal melons.

"You mean what you say?" Old Yao heard Cang Hai agree, and immediately looked at Cang Hai eagerly, his eyes full of hope.

Cang Hai was taken aback by Lao Yao's gaze, suddenly it seemed as if something had knocked on the tip of his heart.

Once upon a time, Cang Hai also saw such eyes in his fellow villagers. At that time, Cang Hai was still young, and went to the New Year’s Fair with the adults. As a child, he would think of everything when he saw Huahua’s New Year’s Fair. Yes, but where do the adults have the money to buy, they cruelly pulled the baby and turned away, and the ones who felt sorry, took out the money and discussed with others, a catty of small noodle fruit costs five yuan, so can You can't spend fifty cents to buy a few, and give your children a taste.

Old Yao didn't know that his gaze had picked up Cang Hai's memory, seeing that Cang Hai didn't speak, he immediately urged: "You kid, if you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it, why are you pretending to be deep?"

"Yo, you're a melon stealer, and you're full of anger when you speak. What's the matter, does Second Brother Hai still owe you?" Wei Changhao said dissatisfied.

Cang Hai came back to his senses at this time: "Of course I forget what I said, but let me tell you that the water and soil in your area are not suitable for growing watermelons. The nutrients in the soil are insufficient, and the melons will not grow at all. If you add the lack of elements in the food, the cost of the melon that comes out will be too high, it is not cost-effective at all!... ".

Lao Yao listened, heaved a long sigh, and cupped his hands at Cang Hai: "Even if we know, how can we give up if we don't plant it! You don't know, there are more than two acres of melons planted in Zuojia Village. The growth is quite good, and now it has produced small melon buttons the size of a fist."

Cang Hai frowned, thought for a while and asked, "How long have you been planting?"

"Over a month!" Lao Yao said.

Cang Hai understood as soon as he heard it, there must be acquaintances in this Zuojia Village, and their melon seedlings must have been leaked by the villagers. As for who leaked it, just check who has relatives in Zuojia Village .

Hu Shijie obviously thought of it too, and also frowned.

The nature of others stealing melons is not the same as people in your own village leaking melon seeds. Stealing melons is nothing more than a petty theft in the eyes of the villagers, but getting out the melon seedlings in the village is like eating inside and out. .

Thinking of this, Hu Shijie glanced at Miao Zhengwei who was two steps away from him. Miao Zhengwei looked up and met Hu Shijie's eyes, and the two immediately understood what was in each other's mind.

Cang Hai was also unhappy, but in Cang Hai's view, this matter was unavoidable, how many lice were still on the emperor's body, who wouldn't have a few poor relatives who begged to come to the door?
Besides, this matter is not under the control of Cang Hai. Now the nominal boss in the village is Miao Zhengwei, and the most talkative boss is Hu Shijie. For things like this that offend people, let them do it. Anyway, the two of them occupy it. The position must be ironed enough!

"Go back today, come to the village tomorrow, and I'll take you to pick some melons, and let you take them back to the head office one by one, right?" Cang Hai said to Lao Yao.

After hearing this, Lao Yao replied, "We're not going back either. It's not cold now. Let's find a place to nest on the ground for the night. How about asking you to help me pick melons tomorrow morning?"

"It's up to you!" Cang Hai stopped talking after finishing speaking.

Hearing that Cang Hai agreed to give the seeds, a group of old men and old ladies with their babies immediately became happy.

But now the happiest people here are not the melon stealers, but the college students who came to watch the excitement from the magic capital.

The thing that makes them happy is that it never occurred to them that they would have the opportunity to jerk a bear.And it's a wild bear!
