slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 501
Cang Hai returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Shi Wei asking himself: "How is it?"

"How about what?" Cang Hai was a little confused.

"I'm asking how things are going," Shi Wei repeated.

Cang Hai said: "Now the police have just returned, how do I know what's going on, anyway, I have something to do today and tomorrow, everyone go to work in the shed."

"There are still melon seeds, why don't we plant them?" Lin Jinyong asked curiously.

Cang Hai nodded: "I won't plant any more. Who knows when the box will be released this year. If you earn less, you will earn less, and the rest will be fried and eaten at night. It's just these two days when everyone cleans up the greenhouse and waits for the greenhouse When it’s ready, the watermelons can be picked, and this year’s watermelons will be planted here.”

Hearing this, Ping An stood up and walked outside.

"What are you going to do?" Cang Hai asked.

Pingan said: "Aren't you tidying up the shed, second brother, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"I'm done eating, but what's the rush in such a big sun, go back and have a rest, wait for the sun to be less hot before going to work, don't you go to the greenhouse at this time and don't burn people to death?" Only then did Cang Hai discover this kid Ready to work in the shed.

"Take a break?" Ping An glanced at Shi Wei, saw Shi Wei nodded, and then sat down again.

"Everyone go back, take a nap, and go again at about 02:30, anyway, there is no rush! Remove the overturned shelves, plant some peppers or something, and then plant cantaloupe on the cantaloupe..." Cang Hai roughly said After thinking about it, if all the people on my side work together, it can be completed in a day and a half.

In other words, it is easy to destroy and difficult to build. If someone destroys it for ten minutes, it will take half a day for Canghai to renovate and replant fruits and vegetables.

After Cang Hai finished speaking, he drove the three of Lin Jinyong back to take a nap. The couple coaxed the two children to sleep first. Shi Wei took the two children to sleep in the house, and Cang Hai slept directly in the living room on the sofa.

As soon as he opened and closed his eyes, it was 02:30 in the afternoon. Cang Hai opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Ping An and Wu Hui had already sat in the room, and Lin Jinyong was also holding one. The big peaches picked from the family tree were eaten with big mouthfuls.

"All here?"

Cang Hai turned over and sat up from the sofa, rubbing his eyes with his hands while talking.

"Ok!"

After hearing everyone's answers, Cang Hai stood up and walked into the room. Seeing Cang Hai approaching, Shi Wei stretched out her finger and put it to her mouth, signaling Cang Hai to be quieter.

Cang Hai saw the two little ones sleeping very peacefully, so he couldn't help but came to the bedside. Looking at the two little ones sleeping soundly, the two little ones clenched their hands, one lying down and the other lying down, cute as if It looks like a little doll in a New Year painting.

"It looks like a little angel when it's asleep, and it looks like two little devils when it opens its eyes!" Cang Hai laughed softly.

"Going to work?" Shi Wei asked.

Cang Hai nodded: "Well, you take care of the children at home, just wait for the children to wake up, and I will take them to work first!"

Saying that, Cang Hai lovingly kissed the foreheads of the two guys, then carefully left the room and closed the door behind him.

"The child is still sleeping, let's go first!"

As soon as Cang Hai spoke, the three people in the room stood up. They took tools, put on straw hats and cotton gauze gloves and walked towards the greenhouse.

When I arrived at the greenhouse, I found that every household started to get busy, and there was a pile of plant stems and leaves that had been cleared out at the gate of each household.

There are also some chickens and sheep raised at home standing beside the shed and gnawing on these thrown plants.

"Haiwazi, why is it so late at your house?"

Grandma Li and the others are sitting on a small bench now, seven or eight of them are hiding in a shady place and picking some fruits from the plants. When they see Cang Hai coming, they raise their heads and fight Cang Hai. Say hello.

"The sun is so big, how often do you not take a break at noon?" Cang Hai replied.

The third grandma said: "Why sleep, we are not your young people, we can't sleep enough!"

"What do you guys plan to do with these fruits?" Cang Hai saw that there was a basket next to each of them, and most of them contained a large basket of vegetables, which were cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. that were in season.

Li Hui's daughter-in-law opened her mouth and said: "What can I do, feed it to pigs and sheep later, what kind of evil did you kill these days!"

"Auntie, I see that your family has lost a lot, and they are all valuable!" Cang Hai took a look, and found that more than half of Li Hui's aunt's basket was filled with half-gold and half-green small melons. It should be ripe in a few days, but now it will never be long.

"There is no way. Although it is said that it can be cooked in the grain knot, the taste of the cooked food is not right. The head of the family said that it is not allowed to be sold, even if it is not sold to Jiushengba. He said that it will ruin the reputation of our village, so we only You can feed pigs, by the way, Haiwazi, we don’t have any pigs in our house, why don’t you take this thing home and feed your pigs.”

Li Hui's family didn't raise any pigs. That's because his family's population was too small. His son, Li Jian, now has a single household with the younger couple. With a large flock of chickens, there is no energy left to raise pigs.

Although chickens also eat melons, they can't eat melons, and they don't grow much meat.

"Okay, if you don't want it at home, I will ask Ping An to get it later, and I won't talk to you. I still have something to do over there." Shed to go.

After entering the greenhouse, several people in Ping An had already started to work. The cucumber racks that had been pushed to the ground had been dismantled, and the cucumber vines with their roots cut off were gathered together.

"Second brother, do you want to pick out some cucumber heads?" Seeing Cang Hai walk in, Ping An asked.

Cang Hai took a look and found that the small cucumbers on the melon shelf were almost palm-length small melon buttons, which were impossible to grow, and could be eaten by human beings.

"Forget it, don't pick them, they will be disturbed by the door, and they will be taken directly to the barn later, and fed to the animals. Pick out the bigger tomatoes and feed them to the pigs..." Cang Hai said.

After speaking, he joined the working team.

The four of them were all in their prime of life, and they were all honest people. No one was stealing, raped, or slippery, and they worked very quickly. They quickly cleared the cucumber shelf.

The cucumber shelf was cleared, and Canghai started digging the ground with a shovel, while Pingan and the others went to tidy up the long bean shelf. The damage to the long bean was not too big, at least half of it was not cut down, that is, It is said that half can be preserved, as long as the shelf is fixed again, as for the one whose roots have been cut off, it has to be dealt with like a cucumber shelf.

The four of them immersed themselves in their work, and when it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Wei brought two little kids over. As soon as the two kids arrived at the shed, they immediately began to have fun, either pulling this one or touching that one. , The noise is endless.

You should know that some melons cannot be touched, and they will not grow after touching them.

But now the two little things, you tell them to go east and they want to go west, you tell them to catch dogs and they insist on chasing chickens, no one is obedient, if they refuse to listen, people have to watch them, with this Two small things interrupted, and everyone's work slowed down.

In the end, there was no other way, Cang Hai had no choice but to ask Shi Wei to take the two little devils home.Leave the four of you here to continue working.

The work here is in full swing, when suddenly Cang Hai's cell phone rang, Cang Hai took out the cell phone and found that it was Zhang Gong calling.

Zhang Gong was the first group of people who led the archaeological team into the village, and he was the old man who had a very warm chat with Cang Hai when he sent them.

Waiting for the call to be connected, Zhang Gong said to Cang Hai: "Cang Hai, you boy want to treat a big guest!"

"Why am I going to treat you?" Cang Hai was a little confused.

Zhang Gong said with a smile: "I want to say that I found your family's genealogy, do you want to treat me?"

Cang Hai was even more confused: "What genealogy?"

"Video, video! Let you see with your own eyes what we have dug up!" Mr. Zhang spoke with great confidence, as if he had grasped something important about Cang Hai.

As soon as Cang Hai listened to the video, he chanted the video, so he turned off the phone and turned on the video!The three Ping'an people nearby heard it, and they surrounded Cang Hai's phone curiously one by one, sticking their heads out in front of Cang Hai's phone to watch the fun.

As soon as the video started, Zhang Gong’s old face appeared on the screen. I haven’t seen him for a few days. The old man is dark and thin, but he is in good spirits and has a ruddy complexion. I have been sorry for his look for two to 30 years.

"Where are the things?" Cang Hai went straight to the point.

Mr. Zhang turned his camera to a box on the ground. Cang Hai saw that the box was almost rotten. It was just an ordinary box. It should look like the big red lacquer box that is common here. When the conditions were not good before, a big red lacquer box like this was the dowry of the daughter's family.

Of course it's gone now, whoever gets married now with a big red wooden box, that's not to die!But at that time, the big red box was an indispensable item in the dowry.

"Why are you showing me this? What about the genealogy you mentioned!" Cang Hai asked.

"Why are you so anxious, your family's genealogy is placed in this big box, look over here!"

As Zhang Gong said, he turned the camera to the side. Cang Hai originally thought that the family tree was just a few books, but unexpectedly, there was a thick pile of books in the camera. According to Cang Hai’s estimate, there were no less than forty or fifty books, and they were enough to put together. It is forty or fifty centimeters square.

"So much?" Cang Hai was a little speechless.

"You're showing off a little now, kid. This thing has been recorded from the Spring and Autumn Period to your great-grandfather." Zhang Gong squatted down as he said, and dug out a book from a pile of books, and then started to flip through it from the back. , There are no words on many pages, and when I turned to the one with words, I aimed it at the camera.

Cang Hai only glanced at it, and knew that it really recorded his great-grandfather's name, and at the same time, it also recorded the time, the name of the wife he married, and the name of the child he gave birth to. After the child was born, he would naturally be Cang Hai's grandfather.

"It really is!"

Cang Hai was a little dazed.

After a while, I came back to my senses and asked, "Where did you dig this thing out?"

"show you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Gong turned the camera to a nearby pit. The pit was not too big. There was a rotten coffin next to it. The coffin forest was already rotten, and a skeleton could be seen through the rotten board.

"How could it be buried here? My great-grandfather's grave is at our ancestral grave!" Cang Hai couldn't understand why his family tree appeared in this person's grave.

"I don't know, but according to my judgment, this skeleton has been dead for at most 70 to [-] years, which is many years behind the tomb next to it, because this thing is of little value to us, so We are discussing to return these genealogies to you. When will you come and get them?" Zhang Gong said.

"Then I'll discuss it with Uncle and Uncle and I'll call you right away," Cang Hai said.

"Okay, then hurry up and come here," Zhang Gong said.

For Zhang Gong, such a tomb is not within the scope of his archaeology, and the total is only a few decades of research, and the excavated things happen to belong to Cang Hai's family, so they returned them to Cang Hai's family. Hai, things like the family tree are tasteless to them, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away, so it's better to hand them back to Cang Hai to form a good relationship.

If they dug up the genealogy of the Cang family and then brought it back, it is estimated that if the people of the Cang family knew about it, they would have to come back even if they were desperate. The relationship also collapsed.

After two calculations, Zhang Gong and others decided to return the thing to the Cang family.
