slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 502 Welcome
When Cang Shiyuan and Cang Shigui heard that Cang Hai said that the Cang family tree was dug up there, they were shocked at the same time.

"Is what you said true? Did you lie to me?"

In desperation, Cang Shigui grabbed Cang Hai's hand, still very hard, and the palm of Cang Hai's hand hurt a little.

Shaking off his uncle's hand, Cang Hai said, "Of course it's true, but I just don't understand why our family tree appears there!"

Cang Shiyuan thought for a while and said, "No wonder Liu Bo searched for most of his life but couldn't find it!"

Hearing what Uncle San said, Cang Hai asked curiously, "Is there a story in it?"

"It happened a long time ago. In the past, the whole country was in a mess. Things like genealogy are considered to be feudal remnants of the old society. Many people burned them to save trouble. But more people hide their genealogy. There are people from my father's generation here. At that time, hiding this thing was risky, so the brothers agreed that only one of them would hide it, and the place where it was hidden was the same. Don’t tell other people, wait until the turmoil is over, and then dig out the family tree, the person selected in the family tree of our Cang family is the sixth uncle, as for where it is hidden, no one but him knows..." Cang Shiyuan said.

Cang Hai said: "Then why did you hide there? Could it be that our village really has some connection with the big tomb over there?"

Brothers Cang Shiyuan and Cang Shigui shook their heads when they heard the nephew's question: "We really don't know, and none of the previous seniors told us. I won’t talk nonsense, and our uncle is also your grandfather’s generation. Everyone doesn’t live long, at most they lived forty years old, and none of them survived that turbulent era. Your grandfather’s side is It survived, but who knows if it will repeat itself."

The old family tree of the Cang family was dug up around the big tomb, so Cang Hai had to re-examine who was buried in the big tomb, and what was his relationship with him.

It's a pity that the tomb has not been opened yet, and there are no old people living here, and my uncle and third uncle are even more ignorant.

After thinking for a while, Cang Hai asked again: "In my opinion, our family tree was dug out from a tomb. This person must have some relationship with our family, but what kind of relationship is this? Hide the genealogy in this man's grave?"

"I really don't know about it. My fathers kept their mouths shut and seldom mentioned things at that time. They were waiting for the reform and opening up. These people passed away one after another a few years ago, and the previous things were broken here. "Cang Shigui shook his head.

"Then can Grandpa Hu know?" Cang Hai asked.

Cang Shigui smiled and said: "The old man in our family passed away, and he was only ten years old. How could he have anything to do with such a big event involving the genealogy of each family!"

Hearing this, Cang Hai thought for a while and thought it was right.

"Then what should we do next?" Cang Hai asked.

Cang Shigui said: "What should I do? First welcome back the genealogy, find a place to confess it, let the ancestors enjoy the incense first, and then discuss the next thing."

After finishing speaking, Cang Shigui turned his head and yelled at his daughter-in-law: "I'm going out for a few days, you stay at home and watch over the house!"

"Why are you going out all of a sudden?" Uncle Liu Shujuan was taken aback by Cang Shigui.

"Welcome to the family tree!"

Hearing these three words, Liu Shujuan stopped talking.

"Going now?" Cang Hai looked at the two uncles, seeing them roll up their sleeves and put on a posture of leaving now, he couldn't help asking.

Cang Shiyuan said: "If you don't leave now, when will you leave? Genealogy is a dangerous thing if you stay outside for a day, and you will be safe sooner. This is our family's genealogy, and no one will take it seriously! If it is accidentally damaged, what face do we have to meet our ancestors?"

"Then you're leaving now?"

"What do you call us? Can you still go?" Cang Shigui asked.

"It's fine if you two go, I don't know what to do?" Cang Hai didn't want to run around in the hot weather at all.

Although he is very curious about the genealogy, Cang Hai doesn't want to run for a few days just for these few books. As Cang Hai, he is really not very happy. It is good to be alive without a genealogy for so many years.

"We are a family of three now. If your father is here, your father will go, but now that your father is gone, you have to go. You don't understand this rule? What do you want to do when Chinese people don't respect their ancestors?" Cang Shigui looked Looking at this nephew Cang Hai, I feel that this kid is suddenly a little ignorant.

Cang Hai saw that he couldn't avoid this matter today, so he nodded in agreement, and went back home to talk to Shi Wei.

"Why did the genealogy pop up all of a sudden?" Shi Wei was stunned for a while when she heard Cang Hai's words.

Cang Hai was speechless: "Who knows, you hide it if you say so, why did you hide it in that place, it was dug out so easily. The result is not bad now, if the grave robbers dug up the family tree, then it would be It's over!"

"Okay, how many days are you going this time?" Shi Wei asked.

Cang Hai said: "Three or four days, anyway, hurry up and come back, time is tight now, and it will be time to collect watermelons soon, I think uncle and third uncle are not in the mood to walk slowly."

"Okay, then I'll help you prepare some clothes, and you prepare something to eat on the road," Shi Wei said.

Cang Hai nodded, and the couple split up and started to work.

Waiting for Cang Hai to get ready, Cang Shigui and Cang Shiyuan had already arrived at the gate of Cang Hai's house with a small bag each, not only bringing people with bags, but even the ugly donkey.

"It's been a few days on this road, you just bring these things?" Cang Hai looked at the small travel bags in the hands of the two, and couldn't help asking.

Cang Shiyuan said: "If there is anything good to bring, go and come back quickly, I just brought a few big pancakes and a few heads of garlic, and when I leave, I can just carry two plastic buckets of water at your house."

Cang Hai was stunned when he heard it: "How many days are pancakes and water?"

"Then what are you going to do? The watermelon will be harvested soon, and you are not going to walk slowly. I have discussed with your third uncle. We will take turns to rest at night. One person will drive the car, and the other two will be on the cart. It's enough to have a cat and a cat..." Cang Shigui said.

Uncle's so-called plan directly frightened Cang Hai into a fool, and he planned to stay in the car along the way. He rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to persuade: "Uncle, third uncle, we can't go empty-handed, they will leave us alone." I dug out the genealogy of the family tree, so I can’t just say thank you dryly anyway? I have to give someone something.”

"Hey, big brother, I think what Haiwazi said makes sense, we were too impatient and forgot about this one." Cang Shiyuan nodded after listening to it.

Cang Shigui felt that this idea was also right, but what should he bring?Meat must be hard to keep. Now that the fresh meat has been out of the water tower for half a day, the taste has changed.

After thinking for a while, Cang Shigui said: "Let's bring some bacon and dried fish. It's not easy to bring anything else. What's bad about this weather, it's better to get four or five boxes of beer, isn't it enough?"

"It makes sense!" Cang Shiyuan nodded in agreement.

Both of them agreed that Cang Hai had any disagreements, and after a discussion, they divided it into three parts. The three families produced a total of more than 20 catties of dried fish, and about [-] catties of wind chicken, bacon and so on. Li Licheng took four cases of beer from the canteen.

Originally, Cang Hai wanted to procrastinate for a while and wait for the weather to cool before setting off. Unexpectedly, his uncle and third uncle were so impatient, they prepared these things in less than 5 minutes and loaded them into the car.

What can Cang Hai do, he has to move out his own share and load it into the car to go to the big tomb.

This road is called suffering, driving at night when it is refreshing, driving all night, except for letting the ugly donkey rest or when people need convenience, the cart never stops.At the hottest time at noon, everyone just found a shady place in the canyon to rest. At this time, the tents of Cang kelp are useless. In such a hot day, there is no cover, and the tent is like a steamer. .

There is always a bit of wind when I am on the road, but when I sit down, I sweat like a sauna.

But no matter how hard the journey was, there was an end. On the morning of the third day after departure, Cang Hai and his party came to the archaeological team's camp next to the tomb.

At this time, the camp of the archaeologists is quite different from before. It used to be a tent, but now it is a container-style simple house, and it is arranged in several neat rows.

Now there are not only serious houses here, but also air conditioners in every house.

After jumping off the cart, Cang Hai asked an archaeologist where he could take a bath, and when he understood the question, he plunged into it with his small bag in his arms.

Even if it's a cold bath, Cang Hai is so comfortable that you don't want it. Think about how it feels to let you bask in the sun for a day in summer and not let you take a bath. Don't say goodbye, Cang Hai feels that if he comes for another two God, maggots are almost growing on his body.

After taking a 10-minute cold shower, Cang Hai felt a little lighter when he came out of the bathroom.

After inquiring about Mr. Zhang's office, Cang Hai went to the second floor with his small bag on his shoulders.Before reaching the door, they heard the voices of third uncle and uncle.

"This is our family tree?"

At this moment, the uncle's voice was trembling.

"That's right, this is the genealogy tree. Do you see that every page is stamped with a gold seal?"

Cang Shiyuan is also a little restless now.

Cang Hai arrived at the door, knocked lightly on the door, and heard Zhang Gong's voice from inside: "Come in!"

Then he reached out and pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered Zhang Gong's office, Cang Hai suddenly felt as if he drank a can of ice-cola, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable—the air conditioner was turned on in the old man's office, and the temperature was not too high.

"coming?"

Zhang Gong glanced at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai nodded, stretched his neck curiously and looked at the family tree on the table.

Cang Shiyuan and Cang Shigui are chatting about the people recorded in the music score, this one is uncle, that one is grandpa or something.

Seeing that the uncle and the third uncle were busy here, Cang Hai chatted with Zhang Gong, and then talked about his doubts.

"I said Zhang Gong, how could you guess that this is the genealogy of our Cang family? You don't know what my grandfather's name is, and you didn't call my uncle and third uncle to ask what my grandfather's name is. Can you be so sure that this genealogy must belong to the Cang family in Ping Village of our four families?" Cang Hai asked.

Zhang Gong smiled and said: "Are you stupid? The names on your side carry the seniority, and there are few people with the surname Cang. In addition to the seniority on the homepage, the last one is calculated according to the age. Most of them come to the Shizi generation, and the Shizi generation is followed by the Crane generation, if it is not from your family, which one is it?"

"Oh, I see!"

Only then did Cang Hai understand that the answer was so simple.

"Uncle Zhang, when we leave, can you take the excavated skeleton with us?" Cang Shiyuan asked at this time.

Zhang Gong was very curious: "What do you want this for?"

"Whether he is from the Cang family or not, he is always kind to our Cang family. Our family tree is buried in the tomb. We have to recognize this kindness. After collecting the bones, we will repair his grave. From now on, enjoy the blood food of Cang's descendants four times a year!" Cang Shiyuan said.
