Chapter 362
Canghai pulled the reins of the ugly donkey to the left front of the ugly donkey, while Qu Guowei stood in front of the right front of the ugly donkey. The two of them walked slowly towards the direction of the Xiehu Lake side by side.
"What's going on? Let me tell me?" Cang Hai asked about what happened just now.
Qu Guowei glanced at Cang Hai, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you so gossipy? You want to ask about everything?"
Cang Hai smiled and said, "You're curious! There's nothing wrong with it anyway, just treat it as telling a story to relieve my boredom."
When Qu Guowei heard Cang Hai say this, he was silent for a while before opening his mouth: "It happened almost fifty years ago. At that time, the three of us lived in the compound. Do you know the compound? When the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were military compound, naval compound and empty vehicle compound on Chang'an Street..."
"I know a little about this, you can continue to talk about it." Canghai is fine anyway, so I'll hear Qu Guowei say it.
Qu Guowei continued: "At that time, the three of us were about the same age and we went to school in the same class. We can be said to have grown up together, but Fan Xiaoxia and I were from the Navy compound, Xu Sheng, the old man, was from the Air Force compound, Shang Qingyun was a few years older than us, and from the Air Force compound. In fact, at that time, both Xu Sheng and I had a good impression of Fan Xiaoxia, but at that time I was not very good at expressing myself. Xu Sheng, this old guy, was able to speak with a mouth. Although he looked like he was now, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes when he was young, and he had a good skin. When we were both sixteen or seventeen years old, Xu Sheng and Fan Xiaoxia secretly had a sense of being friends. At that time, he had just such a meaning, not as open as the young people now..."
Canghai listened while walking with his ears. The story was quite old-fashioned. Xu Sheng and Fan Xiaoxia probably had a ignorant relationship with each other. However, when Shang Qingyun, who was a few years older and seemed mature and confident, appeared, Xu Sheng, a young boy, was no longer popular, and Fan Xiaoxia turned into admiration for Shang Qingyun.
Not only that, the Fan Shang family thought that the two children were good and compatible, so with the consent of the two adults, they finally got married together, leaving Xu Sheng's heart like a thorn, and he still couldn't let it go. Even when Xu Sheng got married later, the thorn was still stuck, and he always felt that the monk Qingyun had the hatred of taking his wife.
Fortunately, Shang Qingyun and his wife went south to the southern coast and there was no contact. Who would have thought that they would meet this small Sijiaping Village, so the previous episode appeared.
Canghai opened his mouth and wanted to say something, and Wei Wenkui's voice sounded in his ears.
"Oh, Haiwazi, Uncle Qu, where did you two get a boat from?"
When Canghai looked up, he found that Wei Wenkui and seven or eight people were walking towards the village on the other side of the stream. When he saw this, he knew that today's work had been completed. Wei Wenkui and several people from the agricultural machinery company went back to the village for dinner.
"I did it? It was bought by Mr. Qu. I just sent it here. Are you not going to put it in the lake?" Cang Hai replied.
Qu Guowei waited for Cang Hai to finish speaking, and asked again: "Have you finished today's work?"
Wei Wenkui said: "Today's work has been completed, which is even higher than the original progress. The ground on the south slope is easier to plow, and it is looser than the ground on the previous two days."
Qu Guowei nodded slightly after hearing this.
In fact, the two old men, Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng, are quite concerned about growing watermelon in Sijiaping Village, and have also thought about helping each other, but the villagers would not let them work together. The two old men who are pampered and live a life of luxury can't explain clearly if they get tired, so the two old men became the two most idle people in the village.
"By the way, Haiwazi, when did you say last time that the Japanese were going to send a few rice transplanters?" Wei Wenkui remembered the seedling planters Canghai mentioned a few days ago.
Canghai thought for a while and said, "It's only been two days. The soil hasn't been finished yet. What's the seedling planter in a hurry?"
"How about not being in a hurry? I will prepare to start the seeds tomorrow," said Wei Wenkui.
Canghai can also understand that although the villagers now have machines on their hands, they heard that the Japanese sent a few missing machines to everyone from Japan, and they felt a little itchy. The Japanese-made machines have grown in the hearts of rural farmers. Not only are they good at work, but they have a small failure rate. This idea cannot be corrected by domestic machinery within one or two years.
Of course, many gangsters may say that domestic machinery is now world-class. Every time I hear this, Cang Hai will not refute anything, because there is no need to refute it and cannot be clearly arguing with such a person.
Indeed, our domestic manufacturing level has indeed steadily improved over the years, but with Japan and Germany, there is still a certain technological gap. If the technology established by others over the past hundred years and the patent barriers have been surpassed by you in two or three decades, what can they do? The domestic manufacturing industry has a long way to go and still have to catch up.
"There is nothing to do, but don't worry, I won't leave any machine when I wait until the machine arrives, and I will give it to the village envoy," Cang Hai said generously.
Qu Guowei laughed and said, "Of course you don't need it anymore. There are a group of free workers over there who even save the money to pay workers."
"I'm lucky. Could it be that you're jealous of this?" Cang Hai said with a smile at Qu Guowei.
After two consecutive days of performance, Canghai finally convinced the villagers that the little flower and bird seemed to imitate human movements. Of course, the result was that Shang Qingyun and his group of people were attracted.
"You can't say anything. Uncle Hu has been thinking about how to bring those birds to our side these days. At that time, he will arrange some places to plant them like your family... Those birds seem to like to stay in Phoenix Gully," said Wei Wenkui.
Canghai tried to put this matter on the table.
Let me say that, if you have a ghost in your heart, you always feel that things are not doing well.
What Canghai didn't expect was that the villagers didn't think much about it. A group of old rural farmers were not interested in thinking about so many messy things. What they thought most now was to bring these long-mouthed small flowers and birds from Fenghuanggou and Jiazituo to the vicinity of the melon fields in the village, so that they could contribute to the watermelon fields in the village.
Not only the villagers, Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng didn't care. In their opinion, this was a very common behavior of hiding food for birds. It was a bit like a squirrel storing fruits. When they found a place, they buried it and waited for the food to collapse before picking it out of the ground to eat it.
In fact, Canghai was thinking too much about this matter. No one cared about why such a small flower and bird was buried far away in the soil as he thought, or whether Canghai had any special secrets hidden.
Sometimes people are like this. When they feel guilty, they usually do something to cover it up. Now Canghai’s behavior is like this.
"Birds bring us here?"
Cang Hai said something and said to himself: I can do it, but I can't do it!
"Yes, it's brought here. Professor Zuo said that he found two experts in bird research to come over and thought of a way. He didn't know when this person would arrive." Wei Wenkui was very close to bird seeds.
Qu Guowei smiled and said, "Don't you have to wait. The bird experts have arrived today and have now moved to the east end of the village."
"Really?!" Wei Wenkui's face was delighted.
Cang Hai said: "It's true that it's not only a bird expert, but also an old acquaintance between Mr. Qu and Mr. Xu, and a friend who grew up together since childhood."
"What a coincidence?"
"It's really that coincidental!" Qu Guowei said with emotion: "We have not seen each other for almost fifty years, but who would have thought that we would meet in Sijiaping."
"That's a good thing. Since your friend is here, don't transport your boat. Haiwazi will do it alone. You can chat with your old friends. Oh my god, it's a big deal to meet you," said Wei Wenkui.
Qu Guowei waved his hand: "Let's just send the boat to the Xuehu Lake first."
The relationship between the few people was like a bitter scene, and it was not waiting for everyone to digest it well. What kind of drinking and having fun should be replaced by axe and blade.
It is said that it is so lively that it is real, but I don’t know what it is.
"Okay, you guys hurry back to the village for dinner." Qu Guowei waved at Wei Wenkui, and then signaled Cang Hai and himself to continue walking forward.
Wei Wenkui took two steps and turned his head and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"without"
"Then save dinner for you?" Wei Wenkui said.
Now the village is working in a unified manner. Everyone is working, so they can't eat separately. Otherwise, after work, the famous masters have to cook, so the old couple Li Liren continued to do the old work and ensured the logistics of cooking for everyone. As for the rest, except for the baby, both men, women, and young, they have to complete their tasks now, or they will not be able to receive the wages given by the village by the end of the month.
Qu Guowei smiled and patted Canghai on the shoulder: "I am with him and I can still be hungry. You can eat first, don't wait for me."
After hearing this, Wei Wenkui took the people to strode towards the village.
Canghai heard this and said with a smile: "You can only eat with me tonight, and you can only add some pickles, duck eggs, etc. at most."
Qu Guowei immediately said as soon as he heard this, "No way?"
Canghai spread his hands and said, "I don't think so, but tonight, Shi Wei decided to eat lighter, without big fish and meat."
Qu Guowei immediately shouted at Wei Wenkui's back: "Leave me a portion, and eat it when I go back and it's hot."
"I'm so old, why do you care so much about your verbal desire? It's great to drink some porridge and eat some side dishes occasionally!" Cang Hai said jokingly.
Qu Guowei glanced at Canghai: "You know, you don't know how long it takes to live at this age. If we can't eat more comfortably, what can we do if we live a comfortable life for a few days?"
Cang Hai stopped talking and gave Qu Guowei a thumbs up.
After walking for a while, Qu Guowei opened his mouth and said, "In four or five days, Old Man Xu and I will leave. Let's stay home for one or two months and come over again."
"Avoid people?"
"We have a lot of things to do when we avoid. Old Man Xu is going to go home to check it out. I can't just be busy organizing your exhibition of armor. Since it is the first time that the things are exhibited, I must pay attention to it. Then you will also bring Shi Wei to attend the opening ceremony. Then I will introduce some friends in the cultural relics circle..."
"Don't!" Cang Hai immediately shook his hand and said, "I can't get involved in your circle. You'd better not introduce me. You don't know this person yet. I'm most afraid of trouble. If you want to do something about the opening ceremony, just let Gu Han attend, don't pull me."
Qu Guowei asked, "You don't want to hide here like a little turtle for the rest of your life, right?"
"Don't say it's so ugly. What's wrong with living here in this life?" Cang Hai said with a smile.
"Young people don't have any vitality either. I think you can live to 150 years old with this mentality, and you don't have any enterprising spirit at all," Qu Guowei sighed.
"What do I have to be enterprising? Have food and drink, and my wife and children have a good life like this. But I'm not stupid to go out for the wind and rain!" Cang Hai said with a roar.
When we arrived at the edge of the Xue Lake, some small saplings and shrubs around the Xue Lake had sprouted. Around the Xue Lake, within about four or five meters, tender grass, small wild flowers, etc. were grown due to the water source. It was very beautiful with a pool of blue lake water.
There is a simple wooden pier by the lake. It is said that the pier is actually a wooden shelf with several plastic boats tied next to it. The boat was made by Zhang Jiusheng and used to place nets for his workers to catch fish. Each boat can only sit one person, which is much smaller than the wooden pier bought by Qu Guowei.
