slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 66 Harmony
Standing on the platform in front of the entrance of his kiln, Cang Hai looked at the hillside not far away. It used to be an abandoned wasteland, but now it has completely changed, and the ridges are pulled by mules and horses. The plows have plowed out furrows. It is obvious that these lands have been overturned by the villagers. Last year, only one-third of the land was cultivated. This year, suddenly, every piece of land seems to have an owner. Sparse and bright figures were busy on the ground, and singing from their mouths could be heard from time to time.

Chinese farmers are like this, cherishing every piece of land they can get. Although everyone in the town has allocated the land, they have rented it out for intensive reclamation. But in Siping Village, at least for now, intensive farming is still It is impossible to play, because the land is undulating, even a small walking tractor cannot turn all the land out, and some steeper slopes have to be replanted by the most primitive animal power.

Standing beside Cang Hai at this time are Tie Tou and Hu Tou. It seems that Cang Hai is the only one in the village who has nothing to do, and it's not that he has nothing to do. Said that now Canghai belongs to the most idle one in the village.

oh!oh!
Tie Tou stretched out his hand and tugged Cang Hai, then made a gesture.

Cang Hai looked down and knew that Tietou was hungry, not only Tietou, but also Canghai's own belly started to bulge.

"Cook!"

Cang Hai walked into the kitchen with Tie Tou and Hu Tou, and started cooking. Because it’s a bit late for lunch, and it’s a bit early for dinner, so Cang Hai decided to cook the noodles to fill his belly first. Time to have a good meal.

Simple green vegetable noodles, vermicelli used for noodles, green vegetables are produced from their own small vegetable garden, and a few eggs are beaten in the noodles. Cang Hai, Tie Tou and Hu Tou each have a bowl.

As soon as the noodles were ready, Hutou brought his own basin over, and after Cang Hai filled it with food, Hutou lowered his head and began to eat with great gulps.

After filling a bowl for Tietou, Cang Hai finally poured the rest of the pot into his own bowl, and squatted directly on the edge of the table, watching the busy villagers while eating noodles.

He just took two bites and saw Tietou squatting beside him. He didn't know what this guy was thinking, but he actually touched a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick cage, and now he wanted to eat noodles with chopsticks just like Cang Hai.

The use of chopsticks with the iron head reminded Cang Hai of the time when Sun Wukong used chopsticks to eat noodles when he was watching Journey to the West. The arm was lifted up, so when the iron head stood up with the whole body, the distance between the arm and the mouth remained the original distance.

Looking at Tietou and laughing for a while, Cang Hai stretched out his hand and pressed Tietou's arm, and Tietou took his first bite of noodles.

When Cang Hai's arm was put down, Iron Head's arm was still in its original state, so Cang Hai had to help it hold down the arm again.

After pressing it about seven or eight times, Tietou learned the correct way to eat noodles. Although the movements still looked a little weird, he was finally able to eat noodles by himself.

"The folks are really high-spirited," Cang Hai sighed after looking at the busy folks for a while.

"Ow, ooh!"

Cang Hai heard Tietou suddenly let out a scream, and turned his head to find that the guy was baring his teeth and breathing out continuously.

"Why..." Cang Hai was about to ask, when he saw two halves of raw garlic placed in the iron head's bowl at some point.

"I'll go! You really can learn everything!"

Just now Cang Hai peeled two pieces of garlic when he was eating noodles, and he only got one mouthful of garlic after eating two mouthfuls of noodles. Unexpectedly, this guy Tietou directly imitated Cang Hai’s appearance and picked up the garlic on the table while Cang Hai was not paying attention. Peeled one for myself, how can it stand the smell of garlic all of a sudden, it's weird if it's not a joke.

Seeing that Tietou just ate a mouthful of garlic, Cang Hai let go of his hunger, and his heart improved after eating a bite, and naturally Tietou would not eat the garlic next time after he tasted the garlic.

Unexpectedly, after Tietou calmed down, he picked up the garlic in the bowl and took a bite, but this time the bite was smaller, and then he started to eat the noodles in a decent manner.

"You are trying to become a genius!"

Cang Hai felt very speechless.

He squatted down and continued to suck the noodles in his bowl, but before he finished eating, the voice of his third aunt Wei Qin came to his ears.

"Haiwazi, Haiwa, are you awake?"

"Third Aunt, get up, I'm eating in the kitchen" Cang Hai shouted.

Wei Qin arrived at the kitchen door, but didn't come in, and said directly, "Haiwazi, our land has been cleared, and your uncle is now clearing your land. What are you going to plant this year?"

"No, no, I'll do it myself later, don't bother third uncle," Cang Hai said immediately when he heard that third uncle was going to help him.

"It's okay, it's a matter of helping me," Wei Qin said.

Cang Hai doesn’t think it’s a matter of turning over ten acres of land. Although a small half of his land is flat, more than half is sloping. Take a break and let your third uncle and aunt dig the ground for you.

"No need, I'll go over here after eating," Cang Hai said hastily.

Wei Qin laughed and said, "It's all because of my family's politeness."

"By the way, third aunt, when you come back to plant ration fields, why didn't uncle and his family come back to plant a few acres?" Cang Hai asked casually.

Wei Qin said: "Your uncle has found a job in the county these days, and it costs more than 500 yuan a month. Only your aunt can't plant land at home, so they won't plant land this year. If there is nothing wrong, maybe the land will be picked up."

Cang Hai asked: "He Xing and Cang Jing are going to work in the south this year?"

Wei Qin nodded and said, "No, this year they won't go to the south, but to a garment factory in Jiangsu. During the Chinese New Year, some of them agreed that the wages there will be higher, and a skilled worker can earn 5000 yuan a month." , and it's closer to home."

"How is Henan's grades, are you sure about the book?"

Wei Qin replied: "Who knows, the results of these two tests are good. The teacher said that the first one is a bit unreliable, and the key point is to choose a good school among the two."

While speaking, Cang Hai had already finished eating the noodles, took the bowl to the side of the sink, washed it, and put it in the cupboard.

"Hey, the monkey you brought back still looks good. Not only does it eat like a human, but it also washes the dishes by itself," Wei Qin said with a smile.

Hearing what the third aunt said, Cang Hai turned his head and saw that the iron head was sitting on the sink, imitating his own example, turning on the faucet and washing its own stainless steel bowl.The washing is still decent, I know how to squeeze a little dish soap, and then put some on the bowl, after the bubbles come out, put it on the faucet and rinse it clean.

Cang Hai didn't know what to say about the iron head, he just felt that this guy seemed a little too smart, if it wasn't for the one-year-old black hair, this guy would be alone.

"Orangutans are smarter, and some can do arithmetic," Cang Hai had no choice but to explain.

"This orangutan is really good," Wei Qin boasted.

Perhaps because he couldn't bear to boast, Tietou jumped off the sink and picked up Hutou's bowl.

Wang!Wang!Wang!
When Hutou saw someone moving his bowl, he immediately became unhappy. Originally, only Cang Hai could move Hutou's bowl at home, but now suddenly a black-haired monster came, and he was so bold as to touch his own on the first day Hutou became unhappy all of a sudden, and a warning whimper sounded from his mouth.

oh!oh!
Tietou was not afraid of Hutou, and stretched out his hand to try to comfort Hutou like Cang Hai touched Tiger's head, but when he stretched out his hand, Hutou opened his mouth and bit him.

"Tiger head!"

Seeing Hutou like this, Cang Hai stopped Hutou immediately.

Hearing the master's voice, Hu Tou immediately became honest, but he still looked at Tie Tou warily.

The iron head took the tiger head basin and turned it up to the sink, then rinsed the water again, wiped the detergent, and started to wash in a decent manner. After a while, the tiger head's dirty basin was washed by the iron head bright.

Cang Hai doesn't even wash the dishes for Hutou for a month, and it's the same for dogs in the countryside. No one is free enough to wash the dog food dishes, so Cang Hai goes with the trend.

When Tietou put the clean basin on the ground, Hutou moved to the side of the basin and sniffed it. It seemed that he was not used to the cleaned basin, but after sniffing a few times, he picked it up with his mouth. It was placed in the corner of the entrance door of the kitchen, where Hutou specially placed his own food bowl.

The tiger head who turned back seemed to understand that Tietou didn't want to take possession of his basin, so he barked twice at Tietou to express his thanks.

After hearing this, Tietou reached out and rubbed Hutou's head. After rubbing for a while, he patted Hutou's head.A monkey and a dog are in love with each other, very harmonious.

"This monkey has really become a genius," Wei Qin said happily.

"Third Aunt, I'll go to the fields to have a look," Cang Hai said.

As soon as Wei Qin heard this, he immediately instructed: "Remember to change into your boots, the ground is very damp these days, if you wear these shoes and come back at night, you will definitely have muddy feet."

Cang Hai asked in confusion: "Earth tide?"

"Well, ground tide!" Wei Qin said affirmatively.

Although he didn't know how wet the ground was, Cang Hai went back to the house to change his rubber boots, and walked towards his own slope field with his iron head and tiger head.

From the side of the house, walk down the slope of the village along the path. On both sides of the road are newly sprouted trees. Although the tree trunks are not thick and the crowns are not big, the young branches and green leaves that are pulled out really make people happy. Especially there are several peach trees in full bloom on both sides of the road. The pink and white peach blossoms are like a powder cloud, which is very beautiful.

Now besides the fields near the village, there are some exposed yellow land. There is not much grass, but it is obviously much better than last year.
Passed through the small path in the village and came to the bottom of the White Tower. At this time, the gate of the White Tower was closed, and a diesel water pump was continuously pumping water from the well. The waterwheel that used to fetch water now has a new purpose. , It was used as a filling and capping truck, and it was the women of each family who were receiving the water. Four or five were laughing and chatting around the water pump.
