Early in the morning, as soon as they finished eating, Qi Feng and Guan Qidong packed up their things and came to Canghai's living room to sit and wait.

Canghai had just finished cleaning up the ward, and as soon as he returned to the living room, he saw that the two of them had already set up a chess game to kill the generals. One is shy and thoughtful, the other is frowning and undecided, and it is a very picturesque pose.

Seeing Canghai coming, Guan Qidong hung in the air with the chess pieces in his hand, and just wanted to ask something, Qi Feng spoke.

"I said Brother Guan, if you are leaving, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Qi Feng complained, and as soon as he looked up and saw Canghai coming back, he immediately asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, let's go?" Guan Qidong also asked.

Canghai didn't know why, and scratched his head: "Why are you playing chess and asking me if I can go?"

Guan Qidong immediately said: "What we are talking about is not whether to play chess or not, but whether we are going to winter swimming now, when we came back yesterday, Yueyue told us, she dug a very big pool for us, so that we can swim comfortably!"

Regarding Qi Yue's merit-grabbing behavior, Canghai didn't think about exposing it at all, but said to the two of them: "What's the hurry, the things are not ready yet!

"What's there to prepare, isn't it just a pair of swimming trunks!" Qi Feng said.

"People bring these, let's bring these too, it doesn't show our characteristics, I'm going to bring something else, you two just wait and see!

Seeing Canghai's appearance, Qi Feng smiled and said to Guan Qidong: "Then let's continue to play chess?"

"What's the matter, we two old guys don't know how to set the car or drive the car, we can only be at the mercy of others!" Guan Qidong smiled and dropped the chess pieces in his hand.

Qi Feng said: "You are an old guy, I am only middle-aged and different from you!

"It's just seven or eight years younger than me," Guan Qidong said dissatisfied.

Qi Feng said: "Even if it is a month younger, it is also small, not to mention seven or eight years old! I am young and strong now, and I am different from you."

"Let's not say this, maybe who's going ahead," Guan Qidong said.

Qi Feng said: "Then let's see!"

Hey, I don't know when you're going, but I know you're dead-end," Guan Qidong said proudly.

Through the dialogue between the two, Canghai knew that the two of them had become good friends, although they were different in age, but the generation gap between them in that era was not as big as later, not like later, three years was a generation gap, and science and technology were developing rapidly. Their generation is more than ten years apart, and they will also have a lot of childhood memories in common to talk about.

Qi Feng looked at it with a wrinkled face for a while, but he didn't find any way to break the game, so he reached out and threw the chess pieces in his hand: "This is your trick, and you won while I wasn't paying attention!"

"Is it a shame?" Guan Qidong showed a disdainful look on his face, arguing with Qi Feng while swinging his chess pieces.

Qi Feng was about to reply, when he suddenly saw Canghai still standing next to him, so he stretched out his hand and slapped the table loudly: "Hey, you haven't prepared yet, what kind of chess are you watching!"

Guan Qidong said: "Don't be angry with the child if you are embarrassed yourself, the old thing has no city government at all, and at our age, Mount Tai will collapse in front of us and ...... face will not change."

"I'm a few years younger than you, you're an old thing, I'm not!" Qi Feng said.

"How old are you!

"It doesn't matter how old I am, I'm a few years younger than you, you're old, I'm middle-aged!" Qi Feng grabbed his little Guan Qidong a few years old, transferred it and sprinkled salt on Guan Qidong's heart.

Canghai saw that the two old men might not be able to stage a full martial arts exercise directly, so he immediately turned his face and smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped away before they pulled him as a referee.

Back in the kitchen, Canghai picked up the blue and went to the greenhouse, picked some vegetables and came back, washed and cleaned and cut them into small slices, put them on the plate, and then put them in the picnic basket.

At this time, Shi Wei has sent the two babies and Meng Meng to the east of the village, since Qi Feng and Guan Qidong came, Shi Zhenbang and Wang Zhenzhen moved to the east of the village to join in the fun, not enough to stay with their daughter and son-in-law, the old people like to be lively at this time, for them there is nothing more lively than being with a group of people who are about their age.

As for why only two 'middle-aged people' came today, it was because Shi Zhenbang said that he didn't want to go down to the lake in winter to toss, he felt that his life was still important, and it was better to stay in the heating room at home.

"I'm going to lass livestock?" Shi Wei asked when she entered the house and saw that everything was ready.

Canghai said: "I'll go, you don't know which one."

"The ugly donkey isn't there?" Shi Wei asked in surprise.

Canghai replied with a smile: "With Qi Yue, do you think the ugly donkey can be called by us?"

"That's right!" Shi Wei smiled and nodded.

Canghai wiped his hands, picked up his coat and put it on his body, and walked towards the barn, and when he arrived at the barn, he found that not only the geldings were gone, but even the original old mules were gone.

Obviously, it was either taken away by Qi Yue's gang, or it was taken away by the villagers, and it is more likely that the villagers went to the market or went to the relatives.

Now there are only pregnant mare left in the barn, and a foal that has not been able to call for a year.

Nor can it be said that it is a foal, a mixture of donkey and horse, the mother is a pack horse, and the father is an ugly donkey, with a strange donkey head and a horse body, and the ears are small, and it looks like an uncoordinated mule.

Standing in the livestock pen, Canghai thought for a while, I don't know whether it is better to use a mare, or a small mule, use a mare, now that the mare has a second child, it seems that it is not good to call, use a small mule, the little mule is only one year old, although the length is okay, but now it seems a little inappropriate.

But soon Canghai understood a truth, that is, if he stood here and pretended to be the Virgin again, then in the end, he might have to pull the climbing plough himself!

As soon as he thought of this, it was a good decision, Canghai chose the strongest mule from the livestock pen, opened the door with his bridle and walked in.

The mule was very happy when he saw Canghai coming in, but when he saw the bridle in Canghai's hand, he immediately became a little unhappy, and he hid back vigorously, and hid his ugly head, just because he didn't want Canghai to put the bridle on his head.

"Sooner or later, there will be such a day!" Canghai reprimanded the mule.

Originally, Canghai wanted to be polite to the mule, but after chatting for a while, Shi Wei's voice came from his ears.

Shi Wei was standing on the platform at this time, clasped her hands in front of her mouth and shouted loudly: "Canghai, have you set up the car?"

"Alright, alright!" After Canghai replied, he directly raised his foot and kicked the ugly mule's ass: "Hurry up, don't delay time!"

Where would the ugly mule have thought that all of a sudden, the style of painting would change, and when he turned his head to look at the sea, a donkey's face was full of melancholy.

"What are you doing, filming bitter love scenes! I'll tell you that you can't deceive me with your acting skills, and you're a little better than those little fresh meat on TV! You're still 108,000 miles away from the little golden man. Hurry up, I'm running out of time, didn't I hear someone call me?"

Canghai said as he raised his foot again, ready to kick the ugly mule.

The ugly mule can't do it! It can resist others, and even make it easy, and trample or something.

It doesn't dare to Canghai, without this courage, it has no sense of resistance at all, let alone kicking people. So I had to stand honestly, standing still with a reluctant look, my two big eyes were tearful, and I looked very aggrieved.

Waiting for Canghai to put the bridle on the ugly mule, the dejected ugly mule was led out by Canghai and put on the climbing plow.

Returning to the door with the ugly mule, Shi Wei saw that Canghai came back with a little mule, so she asked, "How do you put on a little mule, what else?"

"If you want something else, what should I do with it, it's not a mare or these, how do you let me choose, anyway, it's not a lot of hard work, we're only a few people, it's okay to pull it up, it can't hurt its physical development" Canghai said.

Since it's all like this, don't say anything, just move things to the climbing plow, and wait for everything to be done, Shi Wei called the two out.

"Hey, how can you get such a small mule to pull the plow, there are no available livestock in the village?" Qi Feng asked curiously.

Canghai had to explain the matter again.

The two old men got on the plow, and looked at the small wooden boxes on the plow: "What is this?"

Canghai smiled mysteriously: "You'll know later!"

Boom!

With a shout, the ugly mule began to trot with the plow, and along the downhill winding path out of the village to the small riverbed at the entrance of the village, along the small riverbed all the way to the lagoon.

As he ran, the clown mule came out of his interest, and before he knew it, he accelerated, and the mane on his neck began to flutter in the wind. I used to follow their mother to pull the cart, and when did I spread my hooves, but now when I run, I pull a climbing plow, but this feeling is still very different from before.

Guan Qidong opened his mouth and said, "This mule seems to be more stable than when we came!"

Shi Wei nodded: "Well, it's to be steady, if it weren't for the little mule, I would have thought it was an ugly donkey pulling the cart."

Canghai also felt that the clown mule's footwork was worse than that of the ugly donkey, but because of its height advantage, it was a cut taller than his father's ugly donkey, and all the strides were naturally larger.

That is to say, the undulations of the ugly mule are naturally less at the same distance, so the climbing plough is relatively smoother than that of the ugly donkey, that is, it is more comfortable and stable.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages, that is, the strength of this mule does not seem to fully inherit the invincible strength of the ugly donkey, although it is better than the mother pack horse, but it is more than a step worse than the ugly donkey. This can be clearly felt from the slope just now.

Overall, though, it's a well-bred slave breed.

As the ugly mule quickly approached the lagoon, bursts of laughter came from the ears of Canghai and the others, and as they got closer, the laughter became louder and louder.

When the plough turned over the foot of the mountain and faced the lagoon, Canghai saw a group of women dressed in colorful clothes, naked men running on the ice, and some people playing in the water.

"It doesn't look like it's really cold!" Guan Qidong was a little eager to try.

With the appearance of Canghai's climbing plow, the people who were originally playing slowly quieted down, because these people either knew Qi Yue or knew Guan Qidong, for example, Gu Han was directly Guan Qidong's student, and he had always been a little afraid of Guan Qidong, and he always felt that the old man was too serious, and he was too ruthless to catch the failure, so he made up for two or three exams.

The pool that Qi Yue dug for Canghai was very large, almost as big as Canghai requires, but it was not close to the pool where Qi Yue and a group of people were playing, it was almost seventy or eighty meters long, and at a glance, he knew that it was dug deliberately.

The good thing is that these people also know how to respect the elderly, and they helped build two very good ice and snow houses, and they know how to change clothes for people at a glance.
