Canghai dragged the reins of the ugly donkey to the left front of the ugly donkey, and Qu Guowei stood in front of the ugly donkey's right, and the two walked slowly and leisurely in the direction of the lagoon side by side.

"What's the matter, can you tell me about it?" Canghai asked aloud about what happened just now.

Qu Guowei glanced at Canghai, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you so gossipy, you want to inquire about everything?"

Canghai smiled and said, "Curious! Anyway, there is nothing to do along the way, so you should tell me a story to relieve my boredom."

Qu Guowei heard Canghai say this, and was silent for a while before opening his mouth and said: "It's almost fifty years ago, at that time we all lived in the compound, do you know the compound, when the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were army compounds, navy compounds and empty car compounds on Chang'an Avenue, ......."

"I know a little bit about this, you continue to say" Canghai is fine anyway, listen to Qu Guowei.

Qu Guowei continued: "At that time, we were about the same age, and we went to school in the same class, so it can be said that we grew up together, but Fan Xiaoxia's family and I belonged to the Navy compound, Xu Sheng's old boy's family was from the Air Force compound, and Shang Qingyun was a few years older than us, and it was also from the Air Force compound. In fact, at that time, Xu Sheng and I both had a good impression of Fan Xiaoxia, but at that time I didn't know how to express it, Xu Sheng, an old guy, can speak with a mouth, don't look at his current appearance, but when he was young, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he had a good skin, waiting for us to be sixteen or seventeen years old, Xu Sheng and Fan Xiaoxia secretly had a little bit of a friend, at that time it was just such a meaning, not like young people are so open ...... now."

Canghai pricked up his ears and listened while walking, the story was quite old-fashioned, Xu Sheng and Fan Xiaoxia were about to have a good impression of each other in ignorance, but when Shang Qingyun, who was a few years older and seemed mature and confident, appeared, Xu Sheng, a little tender baby, was not popular, and Fan Xiaoxia fell in love with Shang Qingyun.

Not only that, Fan Shang and his family felt that these two children were a good match, so with the consent of the two adults, the two finally came together and got married, leaving Xu Sheng's side has always been like a thorn in his heart, and he still can't let go, even if Xu Sheng got married later, this thorn has been pierced, and he always feels that Monk Qingyun has a hatred of taking his wife.

Fortunately, later Shang Qingyun and his wife went south to the southern coast, and there was no contact, who would have thought that they would meet in this small Sijiaping Village, so there was the one just now.

Canghai opened his mouth to say something, and Wei Wenkui's voice sounded in his ears.

"Yo, Haiwazi, Uncle Qu, where did you two get a boat here?"

As soon as Canghai looked up, he found that on the other side of the stream, Wei Wenkui was walking in the direction of the village with seven or eight people.

"Where did I get it, Qu Bo bought it, they just sent it over, aren't you going to put it in the lagoon?" replied Canghai.

Qu Guowei waited for Canghai to finish speaking, then opened his mouth and asked again: "Today's work is done?"

Wei Wenkui said: "Today's work is done, it is a little more than the original progress, and the land on the south slope is easier to plow, and it is looser than the ground two days ago."

Qu Guowei nodded slightly when he listened.

In fact, Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng, the two old men, are still very concerned about growing watermelons in Sijiaping Village, and they have also thought about taking a hand or something, but where will the villagers let the two of them take a hand, and the two old men who are pampered and pampered will not be clear if they are tired, so the two old men have become the two most idle people in the village.

"By the way, Haiwazi, when did you last say that the Japanese were going to send a few rice transplanters?" Wei Wenkui saw Canghai and remembered the rice planter that Canghai said a few days ago.

Canghai thought for a while and said: "It's only been these two days, the soil hasn't been turned over yet, what kind of seedling planter are you anxious about."

"Can you not be in a hurry, we will be ready to plant tomorrow," Wei Wenkui said.

Canghai can also understand, although the villagers now say that they have machines in their hands, but I heard that the Japanese from Japan sent a few planting machines to everyone, and suddenly the heart is a little itchy, the Japanese machine has taken root in the hearts of rural farmers, not only good to make and the failure rate is small, this kind of thinking is not a domestic machinery can be corrected within a year or two.

Of course, a lot of bars may say that now domestic machinery is already world-class or something, every time I hear this, Canghai will not refute anything, because there is no need to refute and this kind of person can't break it clearly.

Indeed, our domestic manufacturing level in recent years is indeed steadily improving, but there is still a certain technological gap from Japan, Germany, these manufacturing powers, if the technology and patent barriers established by people for hundreds of years have been surpassed by you in the past two or three decades, then what are people playing?

"That's also a matter of no choice, but don't worry, when the machine arrives, I won't leave any of them, and I'll give them to the village envoy," Canghai said generously.

Qu Guowei smiled when he heard this: "Of course you don't need it, a group of free laborers on your side can even save the money for workers' wages."

"My life is good, is it possible that you have to be jealous of this?" Canghai looked at Qu Guowei and said with a smile.

After two days of performances, Canghai finally convinced the villagers that the little flowers and birds seemed to imitate people's movements, and of course, the result was that Shang Qingyun and his gang were recruited.

"Don't say it, Uncle Hu has been thinking about how to lure those birds to us these days, and when the time comes, he will also arrange some land to be planted like your family...... Those birds seem to like to stay on the other side of the Phoenix Gully," Wei Wenkui said.

Canghai tried to put this matter on the table.

Let's put it this way, there are ghosts in my heart who always feel that things are a little unsatisfactory.

What Canghai didn't expect was that the villagers didn't think much about it at all, where are a group of old farmers in the countryside interested in thinking about so many messy things, what they are thinking about now is to lure the long-beaked small flowers and birds from Fenghuanggou and Jiazituo to the vicinity of the melon field in the village, so that they can contribute to the watermelon field in the village.

Not only the villagers, Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng didn't care, in their opinion, this is a very common hiding behavior of birds and birds, just like a squirrel storing fruit, burying it when it finds a place, and then taking it out of the ground to eat when the food is overflowing.

In fact, Canghai thought too much about this matter, and no one cared about why this little flower and bird was buried in the soil as far away as he thought, or that Canghai had any special secrets hidden.

People are like this sometimes, and when they are weak in their hearts, they will generally do something to cover it up, and now Canghai's behavior is like this.

"Birds luring in?"

Canghai said a word in his heart and said secretly: I can do it, but I can't do this!

"That's right, bring it over, it's not Professor Zuo said that I found two experts in bird research to come over, think of a way, and I don't know when this person will arrive" Wei Wenkui is very familiar with the matter of bird species.

Qu Guowei said with a smile: "Don't wait any time, the bird expert has come today, and now he has lived in the east of the village."

"Really?!" Wei Wenkui looked happy.

Canghai said: "It's true, not only bird experts, but also old acquaintances of Uncle Qu and Uncle Xu, friends who grew up together."

"So coincidentally?"

"It's really such a coincidence!" Qu Guowei said with emotion: "We haven't seen each other for nearly fifty years, who would have thought that we would meet here in Sijiaping."

"That's a good thing, since it's a friend here, don't transport your boat, this thing Hai Wazi is alone, you can accompany your old friends to catch up and talk about God, old friends should have a lively meeting," Wei Wenkui said.

Qu Guowei waved his hand: "Let's send the boat to the lagoon first."

The relationship between several people is like a bitter love drama, without waiting for everyone to digest and digest it, why do you have to replace this kind of thing with an axe blade.

It's true to say it's lively, but I don't know what kind of excitement it is.

"Okay, you guys hurry back to the village for dinner" Qu Guowei waved his hand at Wei Wenkui, and then motioned for Canghai and himself to continue walking.

Wei Wenkui took two steps and turned his head and asked, "Have you eaten it?"

"Nope"

"Dinner, then?" Wei Wenkui said.

Now the village is working in a unified manner, everyone is working, and they can't eat separately, otherwise they will have to cook after the work, so Li Liren and his wife continue to do the old work to ensure logistics and cooking for everyone. As for the rest, except for the milk baby, both men and women, young and old, must now complete their own tasks, otherwise they will not receive the wages from the village at the end of the month.

Qu Guowei patted Canghai on the shoulder with a smile: "I'm with him, I'm still hungry, you eat first, don't wait for me."

Wei Wenkui listened to this, and then walked towards the direction of the village with a large stride.

Canghai smiled and said, "You can only eat gruel, steamed buns, and pickles with me tonight, duck eggs or something."

When Qu Guowei heard this, he immediately said, "Won't it?"

Canghai spread out his hand: "I don't think so, but tonight Shi Wei decided to eat lighter, there is no big fish and meat."

Qu Guowei immediately yelled at Wei Wenkui's back: "Leave me a copy, and when I go back, I will eat it hot."

"You're so old, why do you still care so much about the desire of your tongue, how good it is to drink some porridge and eat some side dishes once in a while!" Canghai said jokingly.

Qu Guowei glanced at Canghai: "You know a fart, we don't know how long we have to live at our age, we can't eat comfortably, and after a few comfortable days, what do we want."

Canghai stopped talking and gave Qu Guowei a thumbs up.

After walking for a while, Qu Guowei opened his mouth again and said: "In four or five days, Old Man Xu and I will leave, go home and stay for a month or two, and then come back."

"Avoiding people?"

"Who are you avoiding, we still have a lot of things, Old Man Xu is going to go home to see, I can be busy with the exhibition of your sacrificial armor, since it is the first time for things to be exhibited, I must pay attention to it here, and then you will also bring Shi Wei to attend the opening ceremony, and then I will introduce you to some ......friends in the cultural relics circle."

"Don't!" Canghai immediately shook his hand and said: "I can't mix with your circle, you still don't introduce me, don't you know me yet?"

Qu Guowei asked, "You don't just want to shrink here like a little turtle for the rest of your life, do you?"

"Don't say it so ugly, what's wrong with living here in this life?" Canghai said with a smile.

"Young people are not vibrant, I think you can live to be one hundred and fifty years old, and you have no ambition at such a young age," Qu Guowei sighed.

"What do I want to be enterprising, I have food and drink, my wife and children have a good life like a hot kang head, but I'm not stupid to go out to make the wind and rain again!" Canghai said with a fluttering eyebrow.

On the edge of the lagoon, some small saplings around the lagoon, small shrubs and other have already budded, around the lagoon, within a range of about four or five meters, because of the standing water source, there are also tender grasses, small wildflowers or something, with a pool of blue lake water, very beautiful.

There is a simple wooden wharf on the edge of the lake, which is actually a wooden shelf, and there are several plastic boats tied to it, the boat is Zhang Jiusheng's, which is used by his workers to put nets to catch fish, and each boat can only seat one person, which is much smaller than the wooden one Qu Guowei bought.

Tilting the cart, sliding the wooden boat into the water, Canghai sat in it and tried it, looking at the bright moon outside through the side window of the chaotic branches, not to mention that there was really a bit of artistic conception on the lake.
