Chapter 209: Pondering
Ping An made two trips in the morning, Canghai made two trips in the afternoon, waited for the sun to set, finished dinner, and Ping An took over the work of catching the car.
The big guy was busy until ten o'clock in the night, which was considered to have completed today's work, because the big guy was diligent and diligent, so it was more than originally expected.
"Haiwazi, what are you doing?" Li Liren saw Canghai's ass crooked onto the flatbed, and hurriedly said.
Canghai said very strangely: "I'm going home, I'm not going home now?"
Li Liren immediately asked again: "What should you do when you go home and go here?"
After speaking, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed to something near the tent.
Canghai glanced at it, there was nothing valuable at all, except for the two pots that were still slightly worth a little money, what kind of gasoline barrels made of stoves, old wooden panels, or a few barrels, even if someone stole it, it wouldn't be able to sell it for a few dollars except for his own use.
"These things are worth a few dollars, I really don't want to sleep in a tent anymore, I miss my bed" Canghai finished speaking and wanted to climb into the car again, ready to go home with everyone.
Li Liren said: "Even if these things are not valuable, the badger won't come tonight?"
"Today......" Canghai almost blurted out, saying that the badger would not come again tonight, and the words were swallowed back into his stomach by Canghai when they came to his mouth.
"How can I guarantee this!" Canghai said very unwillingly.
Li Liren said: "That's definitely yes, if the badger comes, I'll be alone, how can I catch it?"
Ping'an smiled and said, "Second grandfather, if the second brother goes home, I'll watch the melon field with you here!"
"Okay, you better go back honestly" Canghai smiled bitterly and patted Ping'an's shoulder.
said this, but in his heart, he was full of slander, and felt that Li Liren's second grandfather was a little too inconsiderate, he just saw his girlfriend here, and he was hot, so he actually let himself give up his girlfriend to accompany him here to see the watermelon, and the rest of the melon was eaten up by the badger, and Canghai was more willing to stick to Lu Shu.
Another way of thinking, I can't push out the melon field at night, the first melon field is Canghai's own, except for him, no one else has any obligation to help Canghai see it.
Although it is said that peace can actually be seen, but looking at this frame, Li Liren doesn't want to look at the melon field with Ping'an, I'm afraid that the old man thinks that when the badger comes, he will command Ping'an to drive the badger, it is better to command Canghai to drive the badger easily.
Ping An was obedient, and waved his hand at Canghai: "Okay, second brother, I'm leaving."
"I'm going back!" Lu Shu also waved at Canghai.
Canghai sighed a little helplessly, and said to Lu Shu: "Let's go! It's been a tiring day, go back and take a shower and have a good rest."
After sending the big guy away, Canghai felt that he had a bad smell all over his body, so he pretended to be in the tent, but in fact, he found a few large plastic bags from the space.
Taking the plastic bag out of the tent, Canghai took out two and handed them to Li Liren.
Li Liren looked at the plastic bag curiously: "What are you giving me this thing for?"
"Take a bath!"
"This thing for bathing?" Li Liren directly threw the plastic bag in his hand on the table next to him: "Can't you just go down and wash it?"
"No, we're going to use this water tomorrow, if you go down to swim, won't everyone eat your bath water tomorrow?" Canghai said.
Li Liren couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it: "Your baby is poor and exquisite, do you think this bird or beast has never pooped and peed in this pond?"
Canghai said: "I didn't see it, but if you want to go into the pond to take a bath, then I can see it, I won't move the food tomorrow, and it is estimated that Xu Sheng's group will not pay for food."
"Okay, okay, I won't go into the pond to wash the headline" Li Liren felt that he had no way to take the Canghai, in his opinion, what was there to take a bath, and such a big pond could still be polluted just because he Li Liren took a bath?
Canghai ignored him, he came directly to the wall with a plastic bag, filled a large bag of water with a plastic bag, hung it on a branch, and then picked up a small stick and poked a few small holes in the plastic bag, so that a simple bath bag was completed.
With a slight flush of water, Canghai washed the smell of sweat on his body with a bath liquid made of plant ingredients, and then filled a bag of water to rinse it, and finally sniffed it on his arm, and found that the fragrant wash he had washed was finished, and he changed into a pair of clean pants and returned to the tent to sleep.
Li Liren also rushed to learn from Canghai's appearance, and when Li Liren got into the tent, he found that Canghai had already laid down, only to see that the person was motionless, and he didn't know if he was asleep.
Li Liren lay down, pulled a small corner of the thin quilt to cover his belly, blinked his eyes and thought about things for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Haiwazi, have you slept?"
"No, second grandfather, what's the matter with you?" Canghai opened his eyes.
Canghai is ready to sleep, but in the current situation, how did he sleep, his girlfriend has arrived here, but he is watching the melon field in the village, and he is stunned to make this small distance a short distance into the end of the world, and now Canghai actually has a kind of feeling of a cowherd and a weaver girl.
"I'll tell you something," Li Liren said.
"You say!" Canghai didn't turn around, anyway, he couldn't see each other clearly in the dark tent if he didn't turn around.
"I want to tell you about your mother, I discussed it with Brother Hu in the afternoon, and decided that it would be better to tell you," Li Liren said.
As soon as he heard this, Canghai understood that the villagers didn't want to let themselves go back, and it was not the main thing to make excuses to look at the melon fields, the main thing was to let Li Liren talk to himself about his mother.
"Why did you think of talking about this today?" Canghai asked puzzled.
Li Liren said: "Today, your third grandmother and Shi Wei talked about this matter, I heard it by chance, and I think it is best to talk to you about it, we old guys discussed it and felt that we had to let you know about this matter, no matter what, she is your mother, although we don't like it, but after all, you and her are mother and son ......."
Li Liren seemed to be trying his best to explain, trying to explain why everyone wanted to hide the news from Canghai.
The reason why people in the village don't like Yan Meixin or Zhao Meixin is very simple, not because she remarried, but because she has never come to see Canghai in so many years, and she has not given Canghai the slightest help in life, as a mother is too ruthless.
The villagers didn't want to take advantage of Yan Meixin, they just felt sorry for Canghai, the child had worked hard all the way, and felt that Yan Meixin and her new husband were in a class in the county, so where could they live? Therefore, the old people in the village, like Hu Shijie, were full of disdain for Yan Meixin to abandon Canghai, and it could even be said that they didn't want to mention this person at all.
The villagers actually got the news as soon as the incident happened, but everyone just didn't know, the men didn't mention it, and the women would get together from time to time to nag a few words, but the men in their own house knew and reprimanded a few words and stopped mentioning it.
Don't talk about others, even if it's a person with a temperament like Yan Meijuan, she doesn't want to mention her cousin, let alone someone else. Of course, Yan Meixin and the Yan family are also a bad debt, and no one can tell who is right and who is wrong. It can be said that it is a ball of paste.
Canghai said directly: "Do you want to talk about the news of her death in a work accident?"
"You...... You all know?" Li Liren was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked in a low voice, it seems that this is a big secret.
Canghai said: "I know everything!"
"Don't blame us for hiding this from you all the time, it's just that everyone doesn't want to mention it, and you don't blame your third grandmother and Shi Wei for talking about ......it."
Canghai smiled and interrupted Li Liren's words: "It's okay, this is not an ulterior secret, the third grandmother and whoever said that I am not angry, because this is the truth." It's not strange that Shi Wei wants to know, people are always curious."
"That's good, that's good" Li Liren said: "We're just afraid that you will give birth to some kind of separation from us."
"Second grandfather, what is this saying, I am from Sijiaping Village, I have always been taken care of by everyone, everyone has always been very poor, I remember when I was studying in the county, you and the second grandmother as long as you go to the city, will go to the school to stuff me with a few boiled eggs, the villagers are also like this, go to the county will always bring me something to eat, I remember it in my heart, gratitude is not in a hurry, how can I hate everyone." To be honest, when I learned the news, I was stunned for a moment, more because I didn't know what it was like in my heart, not a lot of sadness, more hesitation or confusion."
Canghai paused for a moment, and opened his mouth again in a calm tone: "To be honest, I actually don't even remember what she looks like, for me she is just a word: mother, even just a symbol, but this symbol has no temperature, when others show me the photo, the first sentence that pops out of my heart is: It turns out that my mother is a ...... like this."
Thinking of hearing the news of his mother's death, Canghai will have a feeling of self-doubt, feeling that he didn't have too much grief when his mother died, and he was too cold-blooded and ruthless as a person. Cang Hai thought about it and felt that he was not ruthless and not cold-blooded, he thought that he was sincere to his friends, respectful to his teachers, respectful to his elders, and had never hurt others for no reason, even if there was such a thing as space. But I can't convince myself in my heart, as if this thing sometimes becomes a magic obstacle in Canghai's heart.
Li Liren sighed when he heard this: "Alas! It's all evil."
Li Liren knew a little deeper, knowing that Yan Meixin's husband didn't want Yan Meixin to have contact with Canghai, for fear of sticking to Canghai's oil bottle. But this is not suitable to say to Canghai, from the perspective of the older generation, there is nothing wrong with this, raising other people's cattle in their own pen, there will always be a diaphragm in their hearts, this is human nature.
"I don't think about this now, you don't have to worry about it, let's go to the past, let's live a good life and enjoy the new life that is coming!" Canghai smiled and said.
Canghai didn't want to mention it, and Li Liren didn't want to mention this bad thing, so he smiled when he heard this: "Indeed, seeing that the good days of our village are coming, by the way, someone has proposed marriage to your Uncle Wei again, and this time it is a yellow flower girl, although she is an old girl who is almost forty years old, but she has never been married."
"What?" Canghai joked with a smile: "Uncle Wei, is this asking the old tree to bloom new flowers?"
Li Liren also laughed when he heard this: "Did your baby say that about your Uncle Wei!" But your Uncle Wei did not agree to see him, he said that he didn't want to do this now, maybe he planned to save more money to marry his two sons."
"I think Uncle Wei should go and meet, in the future, the income in the village will be good, and Changsheng and Changhao are still afraid that they won't be able to get a daughter-in-law?" Canghai said.
Li Liren said: "How can things be as simple as you think, marrying a mother-in-law enters the door, and this matter at home is much more complicated, and the matter of Changsheng and Changhao's marrying mother-in-law may make waves."
As the old saying goes, with a stepmother, there is a stepfather, there are a few women in the world who are willing to do their best for other women's children, I am afraid that there will be another wave of chickens and dogs jumping at that time.
From this point of view, Wei Wenkui's consideration is not unreasonable. Li Liren was so old that he could naturally guess the reason at a guess, and he also knew that Wei Wenkui was not wrong to think so.
Canghai thought about things too simply, thinking that things would be easy to solve when the family had money, but I didn't know that some things would be bigger because of money, and the richer the more troublesome they were. Now in this society, because of money, brothers turn against each other is nothing, and it is not one or two families that father and son are enemies, not to mention the relationship between stepmother and stepson that has no feelings at all.
The grandfather and grandson teased Wei Wenkui for a while, and each turned his head to sleep, Canghai didn't know how Wei Wenkui slept, he did sleep well, and Li Liren told some of his feelings, Canghai seemed to have untied the knot in his heart, and slept until dawn, with his sleeves shaking.
