Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"Comrade, is there something missing? Where is the duck I want?"

When Gu Siwei saw that the young man delivering the things was about to leave, he immediately stopped him.

After hearing this, the young man turned around and said to Gu Siwei: "There is no duck."

"No?" Gu Siwei understood that there was no cafeteria.

At this time, Xu Congwen waved to the young man: "Go ahead, it's none of your business!"

After that, he said to Gu Siwei: "Don't eat the ducks from the canteen. We raise some at home. The local ducks are much more delicious than the ducks in the canteen. Just wait, I will catch them for you."

As he spoke, Xu Congwen wanted to roll up his sleeves and go out to catch ducks.

When Gu Siwei heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

Zhu Shiming felt that he should not sit still, so he simply stood up and walked out of the small courtyard with Gu Siwei and Xu Congwen.

After leaving the small courtyard, going in from the alley entrance on the side of the wall, and walking to the back of the courtyard, Gu Siwei saw a pond. Next to the pond, there were two small houses half a person tall. I know it must be used to raise things, either ducks or chickens.

After walking over, Gu Siwei discovered that Xu Congwen raised a lot of things at home, including chickens, ducks and geese. He had raised all the poultry.

"I have raised so many!"

Gu Siwei was a little surprised.

"Our team is slowly letting go," Gu Siwei said.

Xu Congwen and Zhu Shiming were both stunned when they heard this. Although they had never been outside, they still knew some things. They did this here because of its unique location. If the factory here was in chaos, it would be a huge loss to the country. Small.

According to the words in the book, whenever someone wants to cause chaos in this factory, there will always be a big hand to protect them.

But how could Gu Siwei's small village do something special in the midst of strong winds and waves?

Seeing the expressions of the two people, Gu Siwei explained a little: "If we don't do it, people will starve to death."

After hearing this, Xu Congwen couldn't hide the disappointment on his face: "Yes, what will happen if you keep doing this!"

Zhu Shiming also sighed, and then said: "Okay, let's not worry about it. Now let's think about which duck to catch."

When Gu Siwei saw these things in Xu Congwen's house, he liked them very much, because the chickens, ducks and geese in Xu Congwen's house were all pure local products. The chickens were standard reed chickens. He didn't know what kind of ducks they were, but look at the gray-white fur. Unlike foreign species, the goose is a big white goose. The big white goose that Gu Siwei saw in the countryside when he was a child is also known as the three tyrants of the village on the Internet.

"If it's possible, I have a request. My house is full of wild chickens, wild ducks, etc., and I want to raise some native chickens. If it's okay, I'll bring my stuff over here in a few days and exchange a few with you. What do you think of these birds?" Gu Siwei asked Xu Congwen.

Xu Congwen laughed after hearing this and said: "What should I exchange or not? If you want more, it won't work, but it's no problem if you want three or five. It doesn't matter what you exchanged for. You don't mind the trouble of changing back and forth. Wait. When you leave, I will give you three or five pieces, pick them up and give them away!"

"How can this be done!"

Gu Siwei didn't like taking other people's things for free.

"You..." Xu Congwen was a little unhappy: "Don't worry, let's catch the ducks first."

Gu Siwei thought for a while and decided that this was fine. He would bring something to Xu Congwen's family next time he came over, such as fish, mountain food, etc. In short, he just couldn't let Xu Congwen suffer a loss.

The three of them caught the ducks together and brought them back to the small courtyard. Zhu Shiming boiled water, Gu Siwei was responsible for handling the ducks, and Xu Congwen helped beat them.

Everything delivered from the canteen has been simply processed, which invisibly helped Gu Siwei eliminate nearly half of his workload. Except for the duck, other dishes did not need to be washed. They only needed to be rinsed with water.

But even so, it still took nearly forty minutes before several dishes were put on the table.

Xu Congwen opened the wine, and the three of them were not in the cup, but directly took small enamel jars. Each jar could hold almost half a catty of wine, and it would definitely not be full. The three of them shared a bottle of wine, and each drank. .

Chatting while drinking, sipping wine slowly, and drinking wine with like-minded friends is a very comfortable thing.

Gu Siwei also enjoyed this rare time, and there was no generation gap between him and the two old men.

They started drinking this wine after dark and continued until about twelve o'clock at night. They only drank three bottles of wine in total. After drinking for such a long time, the three of them were quite sober.

Finally, we cleared the table together, and Gu Siwei rested at Xu Congwen's house tonight. As for Zhu Shiming, he definitely didn't have to sleep at Xu Congwen's house. His house was nearby, and no one was drunk, so he went home humming a little tune. .

Gu Siwei slept until dawn and didn't even get up all night.

Gu Siwei came to the yard and simply washed his face with water.

As soon as he straightened up, Xu Congwen came back from outside, holding a steel pot and a paper bag containing fried dough sticks.

"Xiao Gu, just in time, come over for breakfast."

"Thank you, you got up so early."

Xu Congwen put the things in his hands on the table: "As I get older, I sleep less. Why don't you sleep more? How can you do it if you are young and don't sleep for eight or nine hours?"

"This is the first time I've heard this said. Don't we all think that if we sleep less, we can work more?" Gu Siwei said jokingly.

"It's nonsense. How can you work well if you don't sleep well? If you sleep for three or four hours a day, your brain will be bad. You can't do anything well. Don't believe this!" Xu Congwen said with a smile: "When I was young, At your age, the teacher said that there is no time to be awake all day long."

Gu Siwei was delighted when he heard this.

The two of them gathered around the table and started eating breakfast. While eating, they listened to Xu Congwen telling interesting stories about his childhood.

After breakfast, Gu Siwei was about to leave. Xu Congwen had already prepared his own chickens, ducks and geese for Gu Siwei.

"this……"

Gu Siwei looked at the things on the ground and didn't know what to say for a while.

"This is too much. I can't take half of it. Prepare a male and a female for me. It would be better if there are eggs. You are not giving something away. You are packing up the family circle." Gu Siwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. .

Xu Congwen said: "There are not many, there are only three geese...".

"Isn't that much? The fourteen panting ones. Even if you plan to give them to me, I don't have the ability to take them back. I can't rush them back. It won't be until the year of the monkey. Old man, I really can't ask for so many."

Yesterday, Gu Siwei thought that if he could have four or five, he would be lucky, but he didn't expect that the old man was so awesome, and he almost tripled or quadrupled it.

"More is more, not much at all. Aren't you planning to raise it? It must be too much to eat, but not much to raise." Xu Congwen was very generous.

Xu Congwen was mainly grateful to Gu Siwei. Gu Siwei's advice saved Xu Congwen at least a few months. Now that he has saved several months, he has made an outstanding contribution to the country and contributed to its construction.

In this way, how could Xu Congwen be reluctant to part with these chickens and ducks.

But Gu Siwei can't settle this kind of debt. Are you a helper? No matter how you calculate this, you are still not a human being.

The two of them just started pushing.

In the end, Xu Congwen still couldn't push Gu Siwei away, so he had to take some away. However, Xu Congwen refused to take any of the eggs or anything else. Whatever he had at home, he stuffed them all into the basket for Gu Siwei.

When Gu Siwei wanted to take it, the old man immediately blew his beard and stared.

Gu Siwei once again felt the simplicity and simplicity of people in this era. You only need to be nice to them, and most of them will treat you twice as much.

Not only that, Xu Congwen also rode a bicycle and sent Gu Siwei to the foot of the mountain. He just waited for Gu Siwei to carry his things until he could no longer see them, then turned around and rode on his bicycle to leave.

Halfway up the mountain, Gu Siwei looked at Xu Congwen's slightly stooped appearance while riding a bicycle, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Walking back along the road to a place where no one could be seen, Gu Siwei threw chickens, ducks and other things into the space. When he arrived near the village and could see the village entrance, Gu Siwei got into the space and rested for a long time, waiting for the sun to hang in the sky. At the hottest time of the day, he came out of the space.

He picked up a big green mule and rode it all the way to the village.

There was no one in the village at this time. Everyone had been busy all morning. Almost everyone took the time to take a nap at home and continue working when work started in the afternoon.

Gu Siwei returned the mule. When he returned the mule, he left a little something for everyone, a few steamed buns. It was just a small gesture. It would not be appropriate to give more. You can't give meat to a mule that has been ridden for less than two days.

If you give me this way, it will be difficult to give mules to other families in the future.

After getting on the raft and entering the mountain, Gu Siwei took out half of the poultry given by Xu Congwen, but left the rest in the space.

Got home smoothly.

As soon as Gu Siwei arrived at the door of his house, he saw a brand new plow leaning against the wall of the hut.

Just when he was about to ask, he heard Wu Meiling asking him: "Siwei, where did you buy these chickens, ducks, oh, and geese, is there anyone selling these at the factory?"

Gu Siwei said: "Where did you buy it? I'm doing you a favor. I'm going to raise it and I'm going to raise it. I'm also going to give them some eggs and I'm going to hatch them myself..."

Gu Siwei said his plan.

At this time, Sicui, who was in the room, heard Gu Siwei's voice and ran out with a whoosh.

"Brother, are these all from our family?"

Seeing Gu Siwei pulling chickens and ducks out of the basket, Sicui's eyebrows almost danced with joy.
