Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"How did you come?"

Seeing Gu Siwei, Hu Yanqiu's heart felt like honey, and he unconsciously became gentle when talking to his sweetheart.

This made Gu Siwei a little stunned. In his heart, Hu Yanqiu was the kind of carefree, cheerful and open-minded girl, and she also had that kind of confidence, cheerfulness and simplicity in her body.

Now doing this makes him feel a little unnatural.

"Why can't I come and see your friend?"

Gu Siwei didn't think much. The thought flashed through his mind, and he returned to his original appearance, and started talking to Hu Yanqiu.

"Yes, who says it's not possible? I also said that I would go to your place to play when I have time in two days," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei said: "Welcome, I will sweep the couch and wait for you."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a head sticking out from the door. After seeing the person clearly, he stretched out his hand and said hello: "Hello!"

He subconsciously said something in English. Fortunately, people nowadays don't know what English is. If the villain heard it, he would definitely tie up Gu Siwei and send him up for a good fight.

"Gu Siwei, did you bring something good to reward everyone this time?"

The person who came was none other than Chen Yan, Hu Yanqiu's good sister. The two families lived close to each other and were of similar age, so they naturally played together. It is precisely because of this that she and Gu Siwei are more familiar with each other than others. It is not that others are not as good as others, but Chen Yan is more relaxed around Gu Siwei.

"Not really. After a while, our cherry tree will bear fruit. Then I'll treat you to some fruit," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Chen Yan curled his lips and said, "What's so delicious about cherries? They're sour or not. The walnuts from last time are more delicious."

Gu Siwei laughed and said: "That's really gone. If you want to eat it, just wait until the walnuts are on the market."

"Then it's agreed." After hearing this, Chen Yan shook his pigtails behind him and said, "You guys can talk, I'm going back to work."

As he spoke, he twisted his waist and turned around and entered the store door.

"What are you looking at? Is it so beautiful?"

Hu Yanqiu found that Gu Siwei was still looking at the door after Chen Yan left. He thought Gu Siwei was looking at Chen Yan's swaying buttocks, so he asked a little annoyed.

How could Gu Siwei have such interest? Besides, nowadays everyone wears long trousers, which are so loose that they are a bit baggy. They are generally malnourished and are really worthless.

"What?"

Gu Siwei still looked at it, but then he said: "Has a motorcycle arrived in your shop?"

Only then did Hu Yanqiu realize that what Gu Siwei was looking at was a motorcycle that was only bought from the store. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Well, don't even look at the motorcycle. It's too expensive, and it's not easy to see on the mountain road." It doesn’t work.”

"I can't afford it if it's not expensive. Where can I get this motorcycle ticket?"

Gu Siwei just had an eye-opening experience. How much does a motorcycle cost now? The few hundred yuan in Gu Siwei's pocket would be worth a lot of money in the village, but when placed in front of the motorcycle, it's not even a cent.

"You can't buy it even if you have a ticket. This thing is just displayed here and will be sent away after two days of inspection." Hu Yanqiu and Gu Siwei explained that this motorcycle is not for sale here. It is placed here for people to take pictures.

Gu Siwei didn't dare to be surprised by the situation for a long time. Not to mention that there would be less such things after a few decades, it was just a show.

"Okay, take me to buy a gas lamp first, and then get the things back quickly. I have to go find Qiao Yitong." Gu Siwei remembered that he had other business to do.

As Hu Yanqiu led Gu Siwei inside, he asked curiously: "Why did you buy a gas lamp? You need to use gas lamps at home. That thing is not easy to use in the house. I think you should buy a glass lamp." Although that thing is not very bright, it is much better than your oil lamp."

"I have a glass-shaded lamp at home. I bought it last time. Have you forgotten?"

Gu Siwei's house really has glass lamps, and there are not just one but two, one in Sicui House and one in Gu Siwei's own house.

It's just that Gu Siwei found it a bit troublesome to use it. He usually doesn't use it. The previous oil lamp is more convenient. Mainly because Gu Siwei is lazy. To use the shade lamp, you need to take off the shade first, and then light it. Put the cover on and adjust the wick to control the size of the flame head.

The lamp modified from a medicine bottle is easy to use. It lights up when a match is struck and blows out. There is no need to take off and put on the lampshade, which saves a big step.

"Bought it?" Hu Yanqiu felt that he didn't see it last time.

"I bought it. You helped me pick it out," Gu Siwei said.

"Oh, I forgot, I actually bought it. I bought two of them. I said the one with the word "happy" didn't look very good," Hu Yanqiu said with a smile.

As they spoke, the two came to the place where gas lamps were sold.

"Liu Cheng, get a gas lamp," Hu Yanqiu said to his colleagues at the counter.

Nowadays, the salespeople in the store are generally young. The oldest is in his forties and the youngest is fifteen or sixteen years old. Most of them are young women. There are some as beautiful as Hu Yanqiu and Chen Yan, as well as Liu Cheng in front of me. Ordinary, regardless of whether she is pretty or average, she is definitely not a girl from an ordinary worker's family. In any case, she is a relative of a middle-level cadre or above.

"Comrade Gu, are you buying something so soon?" Liu Cheng made a joke about Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu.

Hu Yanqiu heard it: "What are you talking about, be careful I tear your mouth apart."

"Hey, I'm not allowed to say anything yet."

He was teasing Hu Yanqiu, but Liu Cheng's hands were not slow. He took a chair under his feet and reached out to take down the top car.

"Although this one is cheaper, people who have used it say it is easy to use. Moreover, it is produced in an arsenal and can withstand beatings better than the others. If you believe me, take this one. It is cheaper than the cheapest one. It's fifty cents more expensive, but it's durable. If you take it back and use it carefully, it won't be a problem for you to use it for ten years.

Believe me, I’ll just get this one. If you like something that looks good, you can get it, but it’s just a little more expensive. The price of the more expensive ones is all about the appearance.”

Liu Cheng was quite enthusiastic. He didn't give Gu Siwei the most expensive one, nor the cheapest one, but chose the one with the best value for money.

At this time, most salespersons are like this. When they are in a good mood or an acquaintance, they will break apart a product for you and tell you the good and bad parts. Finally, they can help you pick out the most worth buying.

Gu Siwei has no experience in this, and he also believes in the sincerity of today's people, and understands that there must be a reason for Liu Cheng's agreement. It is impossible for many people to sell things in the future and unconscionably recommend to you the most profitable one in order to sell more money.

After thinking about it, Gu Siwei wondered again, what era is it now? Liu Cheng is also a member of the public and has a serious iron rice bowl. Selling a hundred yuan today will not affect her salary. If one yuan is not sold, no one will deduct it. Her salary, so there is no need to deceive Siwei and say the bad things are good.

"Okay, that's it. Help me to see if there are any bumps or bumps. Give me a ticket and I'll go to the cashier to pay," Gu Siwei said cheerfully.

"Hey, I'm talking about Yan Qiu, this is really a rich man. He can buy dozens of things without blinking an eye." Liu Cheng joked again.

Hu Yanqiu said with a smile: "Wild boars can be exchanged for money. Otherwise, if you go hunting wild boars with him, you can definitely earn a few gas lamps in a month."

Liu Cheng stuck out his tongue: "I won't do it."

After saying that, he waved the ticket he had just issued at Gu Siwei: "Here, go over there and pay. It's not over there, it's over there. Go up that staircase. You don't need to pay for this thing at the hardware cashier." .

As he stood up, he exerted force with one hand, and a bill with a receipt on the wire above his head flew towards the cashier.

Very contemporary!

Gu Siwei watched the clip fly to the cashier, watched the people at the cashier take the tickets, and then walked over.

"It's quite troublesome." Gu Siwei walked to the cashier with the ticket in his hand.

"Industrial product tickets, money ready."

When Gu Siwei stretched out the ticket from the small window, the cashier inside took the ticket and asked Gu Siwei to prepare the money.

After handing over the money, the cashier quickly gave the money back to Gu Siwei, and slapped the stamp on the ticket that Gu Siwei handed over.

"alright!"

"By the way, Xiao Gu, let me ask you something."

After completing the formalities, the cashier stopped Gu Siwei.

When Gu Siwei heard what she said, he stopped and waited for her to continue.

"Are you jealous over there?"

"Ah, we make vinegar in the village. I have never heard of it. How did you hear about vinegar made in the village?" Gu Siwei was surprised. He really had never heard of anyone making vinegar.

The Sixth Team definitely doesn’t have it, and other teams won’t have it either. Whoever makes their own vinegar when they have nothing to do can just buy it directly from the supply and marketing cooperative. This thing is really worthless.

"Oh, forget it if you don't have it."

Gu Siwei didn't understand, but he was not interested in knowing more about it, and it was better to do less than to do more. Besides, it didn't look like he could help with this matter.

"I'll go back and ask for you, but I know there's no such thing. Someone needs to know this."

"Thanks!"

Gu Siwei took the ticket and returned to the gas lamp counter. At this time, Liu Cheng had already put the gas lamp in the box and tied the box with a rope so that Gu Siwei could easily carry it in his hand.

After giving the ticket to Liu Cheng, Gu Siwei curiously told what happened.

"Oh, you're talking about Sister Yan. Her man has some stomach problems now, and the doctor can't tell. So someone told me a folk remedy. They said that when they used to make vinegar using local methods, they were lucky enough to have vinegar essence. Use vinegar essence. Drinking it in water or eating it directly can cure her man's disease."

Liu Cheng whispered the matter.

"Do you have any idea?"

"I really have no choice. I have never heard of vinegar essence." Gu Siwei shook his head.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu said: "Maybe that thing can really cure Sister Yan's man's disease. I have heard of this thing before."

"You know?" Gu Siwei was curious about what this was.

Hu Yanqiu said: "It's really hard to find this thing here, and it's not a place where vinegar is produced. There are only places where vinegar is produced. Some people call it vinegar Tai Sui, and it can be found in vats where vinegar is brewed using the ancient method."
