Chapter 68: Harmony
Standing on the side of the platform in front of the door of his own kiln, Canghai looked at the hillside not far away, there was originally an abandoned wasteland, now it has completely changed greatly, the soil ridges are pulled by mules and ploughs, ploughed out a ditch, it is obvious that these lands have been turned over by the villagers, only one-third of the land was cultivated last year, this year all of a sudden, every piece of land seems to have an owner, sparse and bright figures are busy on the ground, and from time to time you can still hear the singing from their mouths.
Chinese peasants are like this, cherish every piece of land they can get, although everyone in the town has divided the land, but they have all rented it out, and engaged in intensive reclamation, but in Siping Village, at least for the time being, intensive is still not playable, because the land is undulating, even a small hand puller can not turn all the land out, and some steep slopes have to rely on the most primitive animal power to plant.
At this time, standing beside Canghai are the iron head and the tiger head, and it seems that Canghai is the only one in the village who has nothing to do, and it is not that there is nothing to do, such as a few acres of land in Canghai's house have not been plowed, but now Canghai belongs to the most idle one in the village.
Oh!
The iron head stretched out his hand and tugged at the sea, and then gestured.
Canghai looked down and knew that the iron head was hungry, not only the iron head, but also Canghai's own belly began to drum.
"Cook!"
Canghai walked into the kitchen with the iron head and the tiger head and began to make a fire to cook, because it was a little late to say that it would be lunch now, and it was a little early to say that it was a little early to eat dinner, so Canghai decided to cook noodles to pad his stomach first, and then make a good meal in the evening.
Simple green vegetable noodles, noodles with noodles, green vegetables produce their own small vegetable garden, a few eggs are beaten in the noodles, and Canghai, Tietou and Tiger Head each have a bowl.
As soon as the noodles were good, the tiger head took his basin in his mouth, and after Canghai served it rice, the tiger head lowered his head and ate it in a big gulp.
After serving a bowl to Tietou, Canghai finally put the rest of the pot into his own bowl, and squatted directly on the edge of the table while watching the busy villagers and eating noodles.
I just ate two bites, and I saw the iron head squatting beside me, and I don't know what this guy thinks, so he actually touched a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick cage, and now he is learning from Canghai and wants to eat noodles with chopsticks.
Tietou used chopsticks, which reminded Canghai of the time when he used to watch Journey to the West, when Sun Wukong used chopsticks to eat noodles when he was seeking a teacher, this guy didn't know that he put his arm in front of him when he stretched out his head, but as soon as he stretched out his head, his arm was lifted up, so when Tietou's whole body stood up, the distance between his arm and his mouth still maintained the original distance.
Looking at Tietou and laughing for a while, Canghai stretched out his hand and pressed Tietou's arm, and then Tietou ate the first bite of noodles.
When Canghai's arm was put down, the iron head's arm was still the same as before, and Canghai had to help it press his arm again.
After pressing it about seven or eight times, Tietou learned the correct way to eat noodles, and although the movements still looked a little strange, he was finally able to eat them.
"The villagers are really high-spirited," Canghai looked at the busy villagers for a while and sighed.
"Whoa, whoa!"
Canghai heard the iron head suddenly let out a scream, and turned his head to find that this guy was grinning with his teeth bared and exhaling his breath.
"How ......" Canghai just wanted to ask, but he saw that at some point, two halves of raw garlic were placed in the bowl of the iron head.
"I'll go, you're really learning everything."
Just now Canghai peeled two garlic when he ate noodles, and he took a bite of garlic after eating two mouthfuls of noodles, but he didn't expect that this guy with iron head directly learned the appearance of Canghai, and took advantage of Canghai's inattention to pick up the garlic on the table and peeled one for himself.
Seeing that Tietou just ate a mouthful of garlic, Canghai's heart was put down, and his heart was raised by a sigh, and Tietou tasted the taste of garlic and naturally stopped eating it next time.
Who would have thought, after the iron head calmed down, he picked up the garlic in the bowl and took a bite, but this time the bite was relatively small, and then he ate it with the noodles.
"You're going to become a sperm!"
Canghai felt speechless.
Squatted down and continued to suck the noodles in his bowl, and before he finished eating, the voice of the third aunt Wei Qin came from his ears.
"Haiwazi, Haiwa, is it up?"
"Third aunt, get up, I'll eat in the kitchen" Canghai shouted.
Wei Qin arrived at the kitchen door, did not come in, and said directly: "Haiwazi, our family's land is finished, your uncle is turning your land, what are you going to plant this year?"
"No, no, I'll go and turn it over by myself later, don't bother the third uncle" Canghai said as soon as he heard that the third uncle was going to help him turn the ground.
"It's okay, it's a matter of taking a hand," Wei Qin said.
Canghai doesn't think that turning over more than ten acres of land is a matter of helping, although a small half of his own land is flat, but more than half of it is sloping land, and he doesn't plant trees now, and he can't rest on his own side and let the third uncle and three aunts help him turn the ground.
"I really don't need to, I'll go over after I'm done eating," Canghai hurriedly said.
Wei Qin smiled: "It's all your own family's politeness."
"By the way, third aunt, you came back to plant the ration field, why didn't the uncle and his family come back to plant a few acres?" Canghai asked casually.
Wei Qin said: "Your uncle has found a job in the county these days, and there are more than 1,500 yuan a month, and only your aunt can't farm the land at home alone, so they won't farm this year, and if there is nothing to do in the next year, they may pick up the land."
Canghai asked, "Hexing and Cangjing are still going to work in the south this year?"
Wei Qin nodded and said: "No, this year they don't go to the south, go to the garment factory in Jiangsu, and some of them said during the Chinese New Year, the wages there are higher, and skilled workers can get four or five thousand yuan a month, and they are closer to home."
"How are Henan's grades, are you sure?"
Wei Qin replied: "Who knows, the results of these two surveys are good, the teacher said that one is a bit hanging, and the focus is still on choosing a good school among the two."
As he spoke, Canghai had finished eating, took the bowl to the edge of the pool, washed it, and put it in the cupboard.
"Yo, the monkeys you brought back are still the same, not only do they have to eat like people, but they also wash their own dishes," Wei Qin said with a smile.
Hearing what the third aunt said, Canghai turned his head and saw that the iron head was now on the sink, unscrewing the faucet and washing its own stainless steel bowl as he did. The washing is still decent, I know how to squeeze a little dish soap, and then smear some in the bowl, wipe out the bubbles and flush it on the faucet.
Canghai didn't know what to say about the iron head, he just felt that this guy seemed to be a little too smart, if it wasn't for a year's black hair, this thing would be a person directly.
"Orangutans are smarter, and some orangutans can also do arithmetic," Canghai had to explain.
"This orangutan is really good," Wei Qin exclaimed.
Maybe he couldn't stand the boast, so the iron head jumped off the sink and picked up the tiger's bowl again.
Wow!
Tiger head saw that someone moved his bowl, immediately unhappy, the tiger head's bowl at home was originally only Canghai can move, and now suddenly a black-haired monster came, the first day was so fat that he moved his own bowl, the tiger head was unhappy all of a sudden, and his mouth made a warning whimper.
Oh!
Tietou was not afraid of the tiger's head, and stretched out his hand to try to appease the tiger's head as if he touched the tiger's head in the sea, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw the tiger's head open his mouth wide and bite it.
"Tiger Head!"
Seeing the tiger's head like this, Canghai immediately drank and stopped the tiger's head.
Hearing the master's voice, the tiger head immediately became honest, but he still looked at the iron head with a wary face.
Tietou took the basin of the tiger's head and turned it over the sink, and began to flush the water again, wiped the dish soap, and washed it in a decent way, and after a while, the dirty basin of the tiger's head was washed bright by the ironhead.
Canghai is not sure to wash the pot for the tiger's head in January, and the dogs in the countryside are like this, and no one is idle enough to wash the dog food basin when he has nothing to do, and Canghai also goes with the flow.
When the iron head put the washed bright basin on the ground, the tiger head leaned over to the edge of the basin and sniffed, it seemed that he was a little uncomfortable with the clean basin, but after sniffing a few times, he still took it in his mouth and put it in the corner of the kitchen door, which is where the tiger head put his own food bowl.
The tiger head who turned back also seemed to understand that the iron head did not want to possess his basin, so he yelled twice at the iron head to show his gratitude.
Hearing this, Tietou reached out and rubbed the tiger's head, rubbed it for a while, and patted the tiger's head. A monkey and a dog look like they love each other, very harmonious.
"This monkey has really become a sperm," Wei Qin said happily.
"Third aunt, I'll go to the field to have a look," Canghai said.
When Wei Qin heard this, he immediately instructed: "Remember to change into boots, these days the ground is damp, if you wear these shoes and come back at night, you will definitely have a foot in mud."
Canghai asked puzzledly, "Earth tide?"
"Well, the tide!" Wei Qin said affirmatively.
Although he didn't know how damp the ground was, Canghai still went back to the house to change his rubber boots, and walked towards his own slope with the iron head and the tiger head.
Walking down the slope of the village along the path next to the house, there are freshly sprouted trees on both sides of the road, although the tree pole is not thick and the crown is not big, but the young branches and green leaves drawn out really make people look happy, especially on both sides of the road, there are a few peach trees in full bloom, the pink and white peach blossoms are like a pink cloud, especially beautiful.
Now, in addition to the fields, there is some exposed yellow soil near the village, and there is not much grass, but it is much better than last year
Passed through the path in the village, came to the bottom of the white tower, at this time the white tower gate was part-time, a diesel water pump is pumping water from the well suddenly, the water truck that used to take water now has a new purpose, is used as a filling car, is receiving the water is the mother-in-law of each family, four or five around the pump laughing and chatting enthusiastically.
