Chapter 209 Thinking
Ping An took two trains in the morning and two trains in the afternoon. After the sun set, after dinner, Ping An took the job to catch the train.
Everyone was busy until ten o'clock in the night, and they completed today's work. Because everyone was diligent, they had to transport more trips than originally expected.
"Haiwazi, what are you doing?" Li Liren said quickly when he saw Canghai's butt tilted into the flatbed car.
Cang Hai said strangely: "I'm going home. Now I'm going to order this now, I won't go home?"
Li Liren immediately asked again: "What should you do if you go home here?"
After saying that, the old man reached out and pointed at something near the tent.
Canghai glanced at it and found that there was nothing valuable at all. Apart from the two pots, there were some stoves made of gasoline barrels and panels made of old wooden boards, or just a few barrels. Even if someone stole them, they would not be able to sell them for a few dollars except for using them.
"How much money can these things be worth? I really don't want to sleep in a tent anymore. I miss my bed." After Cang Hai said that, he wanted to climb into the car and prepare to go home with everyone.
Li Liren said: "Even if these things are not worth it, won't the badger come tonight?"
"Today..." Cang Hai almost blurted out, saying that the badger would not come again tonight, and the words were swallowed by Cang Hai back into his stomach when he was at the mouth.
"How can I guarantee this?" Cang Hai said against his will.
Li Liren said: "That must be true. If the badger comes, I am the only one, how can I get it?"
Ping'an smiled and said, "Second Grandpa, why don't Er brother go home, I'll watch the melon field with you here!"
"Okay, you'd better go back honestly." Cang Hai smiled bitterly and patted Ping'an's shoulder.
He said this, but he felt deeply complaining in his heart. He felt that Li Liren's second grandfather was a little too sympathetic. He just saw his girlfriend and was warm. He actually asked him to leave his girlfriend to accompany him to watch the watermelon here. The remaining melons were gnawed by badgers, and Canghai was even more willing to be together with Lu Shu.
If you change your mind, you can't push the melon field and Canghai at night. First of all, the melon field is Canghai's own. Apart from him, others have no obligation to help Canghai.
Although Ping An can actually watch it, Li Liren doesn't want to watch the melon fields with Ping An when he sees this pose. I'm afraid the old man feels that when the badger comes, he will be more relaxed than commanding Ping An to drive the badgers by himself.
Ping An was so obedient that he waved at Canghai: "Okay, second brother, I'm leaving."
"I'm back!" Lu Shu also waved to Canghai.
Cang Hai sighed helplessly and said to Lu Shu: "Let's go! I've been tired for a day, go back and take a shower and have a good rest."
After seeing off the big guy, Canghai felt a smell of bad smell all over his body, so he pretended to go into the tent, but actually took out several large plastic bags from the space.
He took the plastic bag out of the tent, Cang Hai pulled out two and handed them to Li Liren.
Li Liren took the plastic bag curiously and looked at it: "What are you doing for me?"
"bath!"
"This is the thing to use for a bath?" Li Liren threw the plastic bag in his hand on the table next to him: "Isn't it enough to just go down and wash?"
"No, we will use this water tomorrow. If you go down to swim, won't everyone eat your bath water tomorrow?" Cang Hai said.
Li Liren felt amused and laughed at the moment of hearing this: "Your baby is poor and particular. Do you think that these birds and beasts have never shitted and urinated in this pond?"
Canghai said, "I didn't see it, but if you want to go into the pond to take a shower, I will not move food tomorrow. I guess Xu Sheng and his group of people won't pay for food."
"Okay, okay, I won't go into the pond to take a bath." Li Liren felt that he had no choice but to take a bath. What's the point of taking a bath? Such a big pond can be contaminated just because of his Li Liren's bath?
Cang Hai ignored him and went to the side of the wall with a plastic bag, put a large bag of water in a plastic bag, hung it on the branch, then picked up a small stick, poked several small holes in the plastic bag, and then a simple shower bag would be completed.
With the water, Canghai washed the sweaty smell of his body with the plant-based shower gel, put a bag of water and rinsed it. Finally, he sniffed it on his arm. He found that the smell of washing was so fragrant that he had finished washing. He changed into a pair of clean shorts and returned to the tent to go to bed.
Li Liren also rushed for a while as he imitated Canghai. When Li Liren got into the tent, he found Canghai had already lying down. He saw that the person was motionless and did not know if he was asleep.
Li Liren lay down, pulled a small corner of the thin quilt and covered it on his belly. He blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Haiwazi, have you slept?"
"No, what's wrong with you, Grandpa,?" Cang Hai opened his eyes.
Canghai was ready to sleep, but in this situation, how could he sleep? His girlfriend had already arrived here, but she was watching melon fields in the village, and she turned this short distance into a place. Now Canghai actually felt like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
"I'll tell you something," said Li Liren.
"You said!" Cang Hai did not turn around. Anyway, he couldn't see clearly whether he turned around or not in the dark tent.
"I want to tell you about your mother's affairs. I discussed it with Brother Hu in the afternoon and decided to tell you better," said Li Liren.
When Cang Hai heard this, he understood that it was not that the villagers didn’t want to let them go back, but that the excuses they made were not the main thing to look at melon fields. The main thing was to let Li Liren talk about his mother’s affairs to him.
"Why do you think of this today?" Cang Hai asked in confusion.
Li Liren said: "Today your third grandmother talked about this matter with Shi Wei. I heard it by chance. I think it's better to talk to you about it. After discussing it, we old guys all think that this matter should be made known to you. No matter what, she is your mother. Although we don't like it, you and her are mother and son after all..."
Li Liren seemed to be trying his best to explain, trying to explain why everyone was hiding news from Canghai.
The reason why the villagers don’t like Yan Meixin or Zhao Meixin is very simple. It’s not because she remarries but because she has never visited Canghai for so many years, nor has she given Canghai a little help in her life. As a mother, she is too heartless.
The villagers didn't want to take advantage of Yan Meixin, they just felt sorry for Cang Hai's hard work, and felt that Yan Meixin and her new husband had a class in the county town, how could they survive? Therefore, the old people in the village were like Hu Shijie, and they were full of disdain for Yan Meixin abandoning Cang Hai without caring about it, and they could even say that they didn't want to mention this person at all.
In fact, the villagers got news as soon as the incident happened, but everyone just thought that they didn’t know and the men didn’t mention it. Women would gather together from time to time and talk a few words, but their men would not mention it again after they knew it.
Even if someone with a temperament like Yan Meijuan doesn’t want to mention her cousin, let alone others. Of course, Yan Meixin and the Yan family are also a bad debt, and no one can tell who is right or wrong. It can be said to be a ball of paste.
Cang Hai said directly: "Do you want to tell me that she is unable to die in work?"
"Do you... know everything?" Li Liren was shocked and then asked in a low voice, as if this was a huge secret. Yes.
Cang Hai said, "I know everything!"
"Don't blame us for hiding this matter from you, but no one wants to mention it. Don't blame your third grandmother and Shi Wei for telling this matter..."
Cang Hai smiled and interrupted Li Liren's words: "It's okay, this is not an ulterior secret. I don't get angry when my third grandma told me, because it is a fact. It's nothing strange for Shi Wei to know, people always have curiosity."
"That's good, that's good," Li Liren said: "We are just afraid that you will have some diaphragm for us."
"Second Grandpa, what is this saying? I am from Sijiaping Village. I have always been taken care of by everyone. Everyone has always been poor. I remember when I was studying in the county town, whenever you and my second grandmother went to the city, they would go to school to stuff me some boiled eggs. The villagers are like this. When I go to the county town, I always bring me some food. I remember it in my heart. I don't have to hurry to be grateful, so how could I hold a grudge against everyone? To be honest, when I learned the news, I was stunned. More than that I didn't know what it felt in my heart. There was not much sadness, but more that I was confused or confused."
Cang Hai paused for a moment, and opened his mouth in a calm tone and said, "To be honest, I actually don't even remember what she looks like. To me, she is just a word: Mother, or even just a symbol, but this symbol is not very warm. When someone showed me the photos, the first sentence that popped up in my heart was: It turns out that my mother looks like this..."
When he heard the news of his mother's death, Canghai would feel a sense of self-doubt, and he felt that he did not feel too sad as a person. Is he too cold-blooded and ruthless as a person? Canghai thought about it and felt that he was not ruthless and even cold-blooded. He believed that he was sincere to his friends, respectful to his teachers, and respectful to his elders. He had never hurt others for no reason, even if there was space such a thing as a despicable thing. But he could not convince himself in his heart, as if this thing sometimes became a demon in Canghai's heart.
Li Liren sighed after hearing this: "Oh! They are all evil."
Li Liren knew a little deeper. He knew that Yan Meixin’s husband, whom he married, did not want Yan Meixin to have contact with Cang Hai, for fear of being stuck with Cang Hai. However, this is not suitable to tell Cang Hai. From the perspective of the older generation, there is nothing wrong with this. Raising cows from other people’s families in his own circle will always make you feel disgusted. This is human nature.
"I don't think about this now, and everyone doesn't have to worry about this. The past is gone. We must live well and enjoy the new life we are about to come!" Cang Hai said with a smile.
Canghai didn't want to mention it, and Li Liren didn't want to mention this bad thing. He smiled and said, "Indeed, the good days in our village are coming. By the way, someone has proposed a marriage to you Uncle Wei. This time he is a yellow girl. Although she is an old daughter who is almost forty years old, she has never been married after all."
"What?" Cang Hai smiled and joked: "Uncle Wei wants the old tree to bloom new flowers?"
Li Liren laughed at the moment of hearing this: "Does your baby say this to you, Uncle Wei? But Uncle Wei did not agree to see you. He said he didn't want this now, maybe he was planning to save more money for his two sons to get married."
"I think Uncle Wei should go and meet him. If the village's income is better in the future, will Changsheng and Changhao still be afraid that they will not be able to obtain their wife?" Cang Hai said.
Li Liren said: "Things are not as simple as you think. Once you get married into the house, the matter at home will be much more complicated. Changsheng and Changhao may cause troubles to marry a woman."
The old saying goes, with a stepmother, then with a stepfather. There are a few women in the world who are willing to do their best to handle the children of other women. I am afraid that there will be a mess again at that time.
From this point of view, Wei Wenkui's consideration was not unreasonable. Li Liren was so old that he naturally guessed the reason, and he also knew that Wei Wenkui was not wrong in thinking this way.
Canghai thought things too simply, thinking that things would be easier to solve when the family had money. I don’t know that some things are more troubled because of money, and the more money they are, the bigger they are. Nowadays, because of money, brothers are nothing, and fathers and sons are not a family or two, let alone the relationship between stepmother and stepson, which has no emotional relationship at all.
