slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 73
As soon as Cang Hai opened his eyes, he opened the curtains and found that the sun was already high. A carp stood up from the bed, got dressed and tidied the bed. Get some food and make breakfast.

Tie Tou and Hu Tou saw that Cang Hai had left the door, and immediately moved to the master's side, and started the follower mode.

Cang Tao stretched out his hand and scratched the tiger's head, then patted Tie Tou's head, led the two guys down the slope, opened the door of the chicken coop first, and sprinkled a few handfuls of millet at the door.At this time, the chicks and ducklings in the henhouse have begun to shed their fluff slowly, and have begun to grow thick feathers, but they have not grown completely. Some of the fluff has fallen off, but the feathers are short They did but didn't grow, so some of the chicks were still bare 'butt eggs'.

But being naked didn't prevent them from rushing out to grab food. As soon as the chicken coop door opened, a group of chicks scrambled out, grabbing a good spot next to Cang Hai to eat millet.

Last year's old hen seemed very calm, pacing out of the henhouse with easy steps, and from time to time stretched out her beak to peck a grain from the gap left by the chick.

The goslings mixed in the flock grow much faster than the chicks, and are twice as big as the chicks. Now it is almost time to moult, and the goslings are not good-looking at this time. There are a few rough hairs sticking out of the fluffy body, Cang Hai can't wait to stretch out his hand to pluck these hairs.

After feeding the chickens, Cang Hai turned his head to go to his own vegetable garden. When he reached the entrance of the vegetable garden, Cang Hai opened the simple garden door, and as soon as he entered, he found two roosters pecking at the vegetables in his field.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Cang Hai immediately started chasing the chicken.

The chicken seems to like the dishes of Cang Hai's family very much, so he started a guerrilla fight with Cang Hai in the vegetable garden.

Canghai's vegetable garden is not small, but it is full of vegetables, which greatly limits Canghai's ability to play. On the contrary, a few chickens are flying around through the vegetable field, using the terrain of the vegetable field and Canghai's A guerrilla attack has begun.When Canghai went to the east, they went to the west. When Canghai chased to the west, they went to the east again. After a few minutes, Canghai began to pant.

"What the hell, I'll have to stew you if I catch you," Cang Hai said while panting, looking at the chickens five or six meters away from him.

Cang Hai didn't move, neither did the chicken, one foot was on the ground, the other was hanging in the air, pecking at the vegetables from time to time, then carefully looking at Cang Hai, keeping a lot of vigilance, as if preparing to To deal with Cang Hai's next attack.

Cang Hai was thinking about how to drive these chickens away, when he turned his head inadvertently, he saw the tiger head and the iron head who were dumbfounded at the gate of the vegetable garden.

Seeing the stupid looks of the two guys, Cang Hai suddenly felt a surge of anger from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and throw these things out for me. I'm as busy as a dog here. How are you two enjoying Lao Tzu's Western view? If you can't let them go, you two won't have anything to eat today! " Cang Hai said angrily.

When Hutou and Tietou heard this, they immediately rushed to the roosters who were so arrogant that they were lawless.

Hutou was stunned because Canghai didn't allow him to touch chickens. When he was young, he was kicked by Canghai for biting chickens, so Hutou had a childhood shadow of chasing chickens, so he went into the vegetable garden and saw The owner chased the chicken and did not come up to help immediately.

Tietou didn't know what the master was up to. He thought Cang Hai was playing hide and seek with the chickens, so he squatted at the gate of the vegetable garden scratching his forehead while thinking to himself: Why is this man so carefree today.

With the tiger head and the iron head, the chickens immediately lost the wind. Within a minute, they knew that the vegetable garden could not stay any longer, and immediately spread their wings and flew out of the fence.

The chickens in the countryside are all free-range. Some chickens are very wild and can fly to a small tree branch at half height and squat. It is really no big problem to fly across a small vegetable garden like Canghai.

Of course, not all chickens can fly like this. Those who can fly are the strong ones in the flock. Nine out of ten are the big roosters kept by the villagers for breeding chickens, just like the few chickens kept by Cang Hai’s family. only the same.

"I'll go, my fence is still a bit short!" Cang Hai said to himself when he saw a few roosters flying over his fence with ease.

The fence dwarf should hang it higher. Now that the thorn trees have not grown up for a week, Cang Hai has to find another way to hang the nets around his house higher.

After chasing the chicken away, Cang Hai grabbed two handfuls of small chicken feathers in the vegetable garden, knocked the soil off the root of the vegetables, and held them in his hands to cook noodles at home.

As soon as he left the vegetable garden, he saw Grandpa Li Licheng walking towards him. The old man had a washed and whitish Benshan cap on his head, and his upper body was wearing a thick velvet sportswear that had faded to almost grayish red. He was wearing a blue coat, the same blue old coarse trousers with two large patches on the knees, a pair of camouflage liberation shoes on his feet, and a sickle in his hand.

"Grandpa Li, what are you doing here?" Cang Hai greeted with a smile.

When Li Licheng saw Cang Hai, he immediately said, "Haiwazi, I'll go to your bamboo forest and cut some bamboos, and plan to weave some baskets and baskets for my own use during the rainy season."

"Okay, you can cut it, anyway, there are a lot of bamboos," Cang Hai said without hesitation.

Last year, Canghai also planted seven or eight bamboos nearby. This year, the growth is very good. The tall ones are as thick as a normal person’s arm. Cut a few plants, then cut a few plants.

"What about you, just ready to make breakfast?" Li Licheng asked when he saw the feather vegetable in Cang Hai's hand.

Cang Hai nodded: "Just got up, ready to order some noodles."

"Mechanized dried noodles are not as delicious as hand-rolled noodles," Li Licheng said.

"It's convenient!" Cang Hai smiled and waved his hand at Li Licheng, and walked towards Poshang's house with his own handful of chicken feathers.

Before entering the house, I met Zhang Xiaolian, the daughter-in-law of Li Liren's son Li Quan.

"Second Aunt, what are you doing here?" Cang Hai asked.

Zhang Xiaolian replied: "I went over there to see our head of the house. He went out to herd the sheep this morning. Why hasn't he come back? Could it be that he went into the long grass?"

After speaking, without waiting for Cang Hai to say anything, he smiled and pointed to the iron head behind Cang Hai: "This monkey raised by your family walks like an old cadre."

Cang Hai turned his head when he heard this, and found that Tie Tou behind him was following behind him with his hands behind his back. Cang Hai couldn't help laughing when he saw Tie Tou's appearance.

"I don't know who I learned from," Cang Hai said.

At this time, the iron head had its hands behind its back, and the waist of the orangutan was bowed. Except for the hair, it really looked like some cadres in the town in the past.

"Grandpa Hu probably learned it. No one in the village has this habit except him." Zhang Xiaolian said with a smile, "Then you are busy and I went to find our head. It is so late and I don't know how to go home for dinner, silly." Is it?"

Seeing his second aunt turn around and go down the slope, Cang Hai continued to walk up the slope to his kitchen.

Back home, after finishing breakfast and washing the dishes, I suddenly saw Ping An coming to the door of the kitchen.

"Have you eaten?" Cang Hai asked.

Ping An didn't answer, and when he arrived at the door of the kitchen, he squatted down, buried his head in his arms, and didn't know what he was doing without saying a word.

Cang Hai put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his hands with a towel: "What's wrong?"

"Second brother!"

As soon as Ping An raised his head, Cang Hai found that the boy's eyes were red, and the word grievance was written all over his face.

Cang Hai quickly asked: "What's the matter?"

"My mother took my money away, saying that she wanted to marry my second brother and keep it as a bride price...".

Hearing Cang Hai's question, Ping An immediately choked up and said the matter again.

When Ping An said this, Cang Hai understood that Ping An's mother, Yan Meijuan, took away Ping An's money and planned to give Ping An's younger brother Lai An a wife.

As for where Ping An’s money came from, it was naturally earned from Cang Hai last year. Because I worked with Cang Hai for a long time and Ping An worked hard, so Cang Hai gave Ping An a total of [-] yuan last year. Pay a little nod.

Don't underestimate the 2 yuan, it's a lot of money for a country boy, so Ping An usually keeps that bank card as a treasure.

"How does your mother know that you have money in your hand? Is it because you are talking too much to show off?" Cang Hai asked.

When Ping An heard it, she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, I didn't mention this to my mother at all, but she came to my room early this morning and asked me for money, and I didn't pay her back. I, I was afraid that my mother would be angry, so I gave the money..."

Pingan said while she was aggrieved and shed tears.

"Oh!" Cang Hai sighed softly.

He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Ping An's head twice. Cang Hai really didn't know how to comfort Ping An, because Ping An's intelligence was a little problematic, so he didn't want to be welcomed by his parents, otherwise he wouldn't have left him alone. After suffering with Hu Shijie in the countryside, the two of them like their second son, Lai'an.

Hu Laian's mind is fine. In the eyes of Hu Mingshan and Yan Meijuan, the eldest son is doomed in this life. Fortunately, the second son has been 'smart' since he was a child, so he has always loved the second son Lai'an. Everything comes from Lai'an, and this son of Ping'an is as if he picked it up.

Cang Hai doesn't like Lai'an, the so-called cleverness in the eyes of Hu Mingshan and his wife is nothing more than a little cleverness in Cang Hai's eyes, and it's not clever enough.To use the words of the villagers behind their backs is false cleverness, always playing tricks in front of others, how many fools are there in this world, even if it was foolish last time, who will recruit you in the future?

However, as an outsider, Cang Hai couldn't say anything about it. This is his own business, so it's Cang Hai's turn to intervene.

"Second Brother, Ping An's money is gone!" Ping An was very sad.

Cang Hai had no choice but to say to Pingan: "It's okay, I will make money with my second brother in the future, but this time, I can't let your mother know about it!"

"Ok!"

As soon as Ping An heard that the money could be earned back, he burst into tears and burst into laughter. He wiped away his tears after humming, and happily teased the three guys, Tie Tou and Hu Tou, and started playing.
