slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 507 Missing
After the meal, the whole village gathered together in a lively manner. Everyone brought a small bench and sat around on the top floor, which was almost the platform in front of Li Licheng's house. It was full of people.

A projector was projected on the wall of Li Licheng's house, and cross talk sketches were being broadcast on it. Those who watched the program watched the program, while those who did not watch the program sat around and chatted in twos and threes.

Hu Shijie and the others rolled up their sleeves and began to divide the watermelon. A whole large watermelon was divided into dozens of small pieces, and each piece became a melon petal about [-] centimeters high, which was divided by the older generation. to everyone's hands.

The children are the happiest at this time, and they are constantly darting around in the crowd. This year, Sijiaping Village has added a lot of new faces, and many new wives have given birth to their babies. There are no fewer than seven or eight babies in this batch of milk babies in the village, so from time to time there will be giggles or cries from the crowd, and it is very lively anyway.

In contrast, the archaeological team and the researchers from Four Phases Valley were much quieter, they were all eating melons with their heads buried.These people are all technical, and they are a bit silent.

Hu Shijie walked to the side of Cang Hai, saw that Cang Hai had finished eating the melon, so he handed a piece of melon in his hand to Cang Hai.

Just as Cang Hai was about to decline, he saw Hu Shijie shake the melon in his other hand, so he put the melon rind aside, took the melon with his hand, and began to chew it.

"The village will be lively next year, and now these little things can't talk or run." Hu Shijie said happily, looking at the children in the hands of the young wives.

For Hu Shijie, nothing is as wonderful as seeing a thriving village and a prosperous population.

After finishing speaking, the old man turned to Cang Hai and asked, "Haiwazi, do you want another one with your wife?"

"There are two of us, don't worry," Cang Hai said.

"Two boys want a girl anyway, we were very strict at that time, if not, I would like to have more babies," Hu Shijie said.

When Cang Hai heard that the old man talked too much today, why did he eat a melon and have a baby, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa Hu, what's the matter with you?"

Hu Shijie sighed and said: "Ping'an and Sheng'an are settled, and I don't know when Lai'an will be able to marry a wife."

Sheng'an's daughter-in-law has already given birth, and it seems that Lai'an and Wu Hui will have a child this year or next year, and now Hu Shijie is most worried about the safety of his incomprehensible grandson.

"Are you missing your grandson? If you want to, you can bring him back, even if you have been exiled for so many days," Cang Hai said.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Cang Hai thought that the old man was reluctant to let his grandson hang out anymore, so he opened his mouth and said that if you want Lai'an to come back, then let him come back.

"He doesn't know where he's gone now, and his parents only receive his calls when he asks for money. I'm afraid that this kid won't learn well outside," Hu Shijie said.

Cang Hai didn’t know what to say. It’s really worrying for a lazy person to go outside. If he didn’t say anything else, he just said that the last time this guy was mixed with a bunch of poachers, he knew it was no longer a worry. No, but this kid really got mixed up with a bunch of assholes.

"Then you can tell him to come back," that's all Cang Hai could say.

At this time, Wei Wenkui happened to walk over with a watermelon, and upon hearing Cang Hai's words, he asked, "Who are you asking to come back?"

"We're talking about Lai'an," Cang Hai said.

"Oh, Lai'an, how is this kid doing now?" Wei Wenkui asked.

Hu Shijie shook his head: "I don't know, but his mother said that he is asking for more and more money, and he is afraid that he will be fooled by bad guys."

Wei Wenkui thought about it for a while, but he didn't know what to say, just Lai An's temperament, no one dared to guarantee that he would be fine, and serious work in society was tiring , Only those opportunistic things can make money easily.

"Then let Lai'an come back. After he comes back, everyone can teach him well. If it doesn't work, throw him in the army and practice hard for a few years, and he will be corrected for you," Wei Wenkui said.

After hearing this, Hu Shijie said: "I think so too, first get him back and send him to serve as a soldier when he is drafted."

In the past, it was said to send Lai'an to love soldiers, but Hu Shijie has no idea here, because spending money does not necessarily mean being a soldier, but now Sijiaping is not the same as Sijiaping a few years ago. To save face, besides, he doesn't want some high-level military service like a pilot, but he wants to be a conscript for two years. When he arrives, no one will give Hu Shijie this face. As long as Lai'an's health is fine, the soldier will probably be fine. .

"You all agree?" Hu Shijie asked.

Cang Hai and Wei Wenkui looked at each other, then nodded almost at the same time.

"By the way, Haiwazi, I heard that your family has been found in the genealogy, what are you going to do?" Wei Wenkui asked.

Cang Hai said: "You have to ask your uncle and third uncle about this matter. I can't get involved in this matter, but it sounds like I'm going to dig a kiln at our rice field in the east of the village to use as a ancestral hall. That's right. , is the genealogy of your two families still there?"

Hu Shijie waved his hand: "There is no hope for our family, but there is still hope for Wen Kui's family."

"Huh?" Cang Hai felt quite strange when he heard that.

Hu Shijie said: "Our family tree was burned by my second uncle at the time, and then he went to the national series. There was no news after he left. My father said at the time that he didn't know where he died."

Cang Hai didn't know that Hu Shijie had a second uncle, but at the time of the turmoil, Cang Hai hadn't been born yet, let alone Cang Hai, even Cang Hai's old man probably didn't remember anything at that time.This happened many years ago.

The three of them chatted and ate melons, and soon the two brothers Li Liren and Li Lida came over. After these two came over, Li Licheng squeezed in within 2 minutes, and finally the two brothers Cang Shiyuan and Cang Shigui Arrived, now the people who have the final say in the whole village are almost all here.

When they were all here, Hu Shijie told about Lai'an's affairs, and asked Lai'an to come back first, and send him to serve as a soldier when the conscription is imminent. The kid is causing trouble outside.

No one objected to it. After all, Lai'an was watched by these people and grew up. This child is nothing more than lazy and lazy, and he has not yet reached the point of anger, so they all nodded in agreement with Hu Shijie's approach.

After discussing things about Lai'an, everyone's conversation became easier, and everyone began to estimate this year's income.

"By the way, the mayor of Lu came to inspect in two days. Our village said that we need to prepare. Why is there no movement now?" Li Licheng said.

Hu Shijie said: "It's not that I don't want to move, but there is new news in the county saying that everything will be fine as usual, everyone should harvest melons, don't do it too deliberately, even the banners are not allowed...".

When Hu Shijie said this, he was obviously a little depressed. He originally expected to give Lu Yanzhi a face, and he was planning well here, but Lu Yanzhi's secretary over there personally called him. Tell him not to do this, just do it as usual, and it will seem too much on purpose.

Cang Hai was silent at this moment, because he was the one who told Lu Yanzhi about the village's preparations last time. If it was about Lu Yanzhi's plan to go public, or the provincial news, of course it would be fine to do so.

But this time, Lu Yanzhi came here with a filming team from China Television. Although it is estimated that there are only one or two shots of Lu Yanzhi in this film, people with a discerning eye will know who the praise is. The people who come out don't need to let them understand how advanced the political literacy of the common people is, and watching the excitement is just watching the excitement.

"Does that seem a bit sloppy?" Wei Wenkui asked.

Hu Shijie said: "I think so too, but the secretary over there deliberately repeated it two or three times, and it's not easy for me to do it. I just have time to let everyone show enthusiasm."

"Then will our village secretary show up?" Li Licheng asked.

Hu Shijie smiled and said: "He can be missing, I guess this one will show up tomorrow afternoon, how could he not show up for such a showy thing, I heard that as soon as Mayor Lu is coming, he just called me that day Almost an hour."

"It really depends on what you need," Li Liren said with a smile.

"Isn't that good? He runs his business and we live our own lives. The two have nothing to do with each other," Cang Hai said.

"Well, it's really good, but this one doesn't have the energy of Miao Zhengwei, and I don't know what Miao Zhengwei is doing now," Wei Wenkui said.

Hu Shijie said: "Miao Zhengwei is now a full-time student. I heard that the Provincial Youth League Committee is planning to make a big use of it, and he is currently investigating in Xiguan City."

Young officials like Miao Zhengwei, who are capable and supportive, are promoted very quickly. At that time, Cang Hai and Lu Yanzhi also mentioned Miao Zhengwei when they were chatting. It’s time to look at luck. Before the age of 35, there is no problem at all if there are no accidents. It depends on luck and his means.

Of course, it's not easy for Cang Hai to show off this matter. First, Cang Hai doesn't care about this matter, and second, Cang Hai is not a big mouther. If he knows something, he has to show it around.

Li Licheng said at this time: "The village is obviously not lively now. These young people are not so lively when there are no students. By the way, Cang Hai, when will your teacher bring people over to paint again?"

Cang Hai laughed and said, "Do you still miss those students?"

Li Licheng said with a smile: "It's much easier to work with them, and I don't know how many jokes they have brought to everyone."

When this group of students was here, they either fed bears or chased wild boars. They would be happy for two or three days when they saw a hare. That kind of ignorance can be regarded as adding a lot of jokes to the lives of the villagers.

In addition, some people still use the elderly and children in the village as models, draw portraits and so on, and give them away for free when they are finished. Who doesn’t have one or two paintings by students in their homes?

Whether it's my own portraits or landscape paintings, these things are framed and hung on the wall, which are much more attractive than any paintings bought on the street.

Firstly, these students are lively and interesting, and secondly, they can get second paintings to decorate their homes for free, and only need to pay a little money for the picture frame, so the villagers still miss these students very much.

"The next wave will be after the beginning of autumn." Cang Hai was a little speechless.

The students from Canghai alma mater all study architecture, and painting naturally has a foundation, but it is definitely not enough to say how good the painting is, but in the eyes of the villagers, it is the most beautiful, whether it is gouache or watercolor. Taking advantage of a realism, it is very popular in the eyes of the folks.

And the biggest use of these exercises for the students is to score them, and they usually throw them away after scoring them. Now they can get melons from the folks, and everyone is very happy.

Relatively speaking, the archaeological team and the researchers from Sixianggu are not good enough, they seem very dull. If they are students, they would have been wandering through the crowd to find someone to chat with as soon as they ate it.Look at these two people again, they are like abacus beads, they don’t move, they hold melons and squat on the ground without saying a word while eating melons and watching TV, which makes the villagers much less fun.

Cang Hai has no other choice, he can’t tell this group of people, let’s add some fun to the lives of the folks, I guess if you say that, these people will all turn their heads away, and sometimes technical men have such a personality .

They chatted while eating for more than two hours. At ten o'clock, everyone took the small benches and went home to rest. They were going to sleep and get up in the morning to continue working.
