Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Gu Siwei soon discovered a problem, that is, he did not know the road. He knew where Zheng Kuan was because he had just heard Yuan Shikai and the others talking about it, but he did not know where Zheng Kuan was staying.

So it's a little embarrassing now.

What, ask someone, why is it so easy to catch someone on the street at this time? If it were left a few decades later, this night market would be booming, but at this moment, there are no street lights on the street, and second, there are no people. , you have to rely on the moonlight to illuminate you when you walk. Where do you want to find someone to ask for directions?

However, Gu Siwei was still a little clever. He knew that this person's work unit sounded like a government agency, so he went directly to the government agency family home in the center of the county.

When I arrived at the place, I found that I was already late. There was almost a sea of ​​people at the entrance of the courtyard. Even though it was dark, some people still opened their windows and watched the excitement. Although they couldn't see anything, they were still smiling. , making the entire compound look like a vegetable market.

Zhao Minglan was escorted out. Now she had completely lost the beauty she had a few hours ago. Her clothes were disheveled, her chest was exposed, her hair was scratched like a chicken coop, her hands were cut behind her back, and her neck was There was also a pair of broken shoes hanging on the bed, and there were several women escorting her behind her.

Each one of them was full of anger, and one of them slapped Zhao Minglan several times. The sound was so loud that Gu Siwei, who was standing more than ten meters away, could clearly hear it.

Gu Siwei suddenly felt bored. He felt that the people in front of him suddenly became disgusting.

Zhao Minglan, who was being escorted along by someone and caught in rape, suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Siwei who was standing on the roadside.

And Gu Siwei also saw her.

However, as soon as their eyes met, Zhao Minglan looked away. It was not because she wanted to look away, but because she received another slap on the face.

Seeing this scene, Gu Siwei raised his head and looked at the sky. At this moment, he felt that God seemed to be interested. Look at how Zhao Minglan treated others before, and now he is treated by others.

But for some reason, Gu Siwei just felt in a bad mood, and something indescribable was stuck in his heart.

I rushed to the town where the factory was located to deliver things to Xu Congwen in the early morning. The old man was not at home, so he was still busy in the factory.

Qiao Yitong and his father-in-law were also busy.

This made Gu Siwei feel as if he was the only idler in the whole world, and he was in a bad mood, so he rushed home after delivering the things.

After returning home, after a few days of comfortable life, Gu Siwei's mood gradually returned to its original state.

I chatted and laughed with the big guys every day, either thinking about what to eat, or thinking about how to kill time in the afternoon. The little life was really windy and rainy, and it was so beautiful.

The family's new house has also begun to be built. With the help of booms and chain saws, the production of wooden components of the house has gone much faster. Gu Siwei originally had to cut the materials for a day or two, but now he has no oil. Sawing can be done in two or three hours.

In fact, the main reason is that the building structure of the big house is simple. There are no Chinese-style cornices or the like, nor is there an overly complicated mortise and tenon structure. Only the joints of the wood are a bit troublesome, but it is not difficult for everyone.

There is no need to build a foundation or something like that. Firstly, Gu Siwei has used space to lay it before. Secondly, we are not planning to live in this big house for decades. We want to build it under the current conditions. It is unrealistic to create a house where great-grandchildren can live in and get married.

So this house was built by yarding wood - yarding wood - yarding wood, and finally yarding wood. The material section of the entire house is a shovel-shaped structure. The lower layer has mortises, and the upper layer has tenons. Two and one snap together. No nails, just a continuous wooden wall.

There is also a place where the upper wall and the front and rear walls intersect. Leave ten centimeters of wood for each intersection at this place and neatly shave it off, so that a wooden cross is formed in the corner. It is not pretty, but it looks strong.

As for the small compartments in the room, they are even simpler, and the materials are small. They are about the thickness of a human arm at most, and they are all made up of tree poles as thick as an arm.

Soundproofing is impossible, and people nowadays don’t pay attention to this. As long as they can’t see each other, it’s considered a single room.

The weather is getting colder and the wind is biting, but the progress of the big house is getting faster and faster day by day. At the beginning, everyone was not skilled at it. As they became more familiar, everyone also figured out what should be done first and what can be done later, so as to be more economical. time, the acceleration is turned on.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get on top.

This matter should not be careless. Gu Siwei was careless when he built his own house. He originally wanted to be careless again, but now the villagers stopped doing it.

Why don't you stop working? Everyone is free now and there is no work in the fields. Why don't you have some fun?

I happened to hear that Gu Siwei's big house was going to have girders, so everyone raised their heads and said they wanted to join in the fun.

One said that Gu Siwei could ignore it, and the other two said that he could ignore it, but when everyone saw him and asked when the girders would be installed on the house, Gu Siwei had to take this matter seriously. .

So Gu Siwei didn't hold a banquet for a month after her wedding. Now that the house has a large beam, it's time to start counting how many banquets there will be.

Today, Gu Siwei got up early in the morning, packed up and prepared to go to the factory to do some purchasing. She could make steamed buns at home. Now her daughter-in-law is already a good hand at making steamed buns, but candies and other things are always difficult to make. You can't do it yourself.

Of course, it is not impossible to make maltose or something, and Gu Siwei prefers to eat this stuff, but the villagers and the children in Zhuangzi do not recognize this stuff.

Since it was going to be done, it naturally had to be done in a decent way, so Gu Siwei was going to go to the factory to buy some candy cubes, and wait for the day of the beam to be sprinkled with red envelopes and small steamed buns with red dots. , let the villagers and children compete for fun.

Gu Siwei stood in front of the mirror and straightened his clothes. Hu Yanqiu happened to pass by at this time and came over to help her husband pull the corners of his clothes.

"You really don't want to go with me?" Gu Siwei asked.

Hu Yanqiu said with a smile: "I have only been back for a few days, and I want to go with you again? That's not what the folks say... forget it."

Gu Siwei knew that what she wanted to say was Liu Dezhu. The couple used to run home often, but now they seem to be living in the village of their father-in-law, and they only come back to see his grandfather Liu Fulin.

When the villagers mentioned this, they would sigh. Who would have thought that a good child would become like this after getting married and finding a wife.

"Let's just live our own lives." Gu Siwei had nothing to say.

Now Liu Fulin was so angry that he was almost dying. Liu Dezhu didn't say that he would be around to serve soup or medicine. He was still living comfortably at his father-in-law's house.

Liu Fulin looks older every day. Gu Siwei knows where the old man's heart is, but Gu Siwei will not get involved in this matter as long as he has a brain.

They are a grandfather and a grandson. What kind of relationship can be better than that of someone else? If you get together here, what do you say and how do you do it? When the time comes, the grandfather and grandson will suddenly be as good as before, and no one can point out who will be the troublemaker.

Unexpectedly, even the sect named Liu didn't interfere with it. Gu Siwei jumped into this pit by himself. That's not what a good man does.

Gu Siwei was worried about his old uncle and would visit him from time to time. Zheng Youcai was also thinking about his old friend and would go there every now and then, where the two old men would drink and talk.

Facts have proved that some things are diluted by time. Liu Fulin also wants to understand now. Zheng Youcai has no children or grandchildren. If he is not living well, he is nothing.

Once the old man saw it and felt better, he was no longer sick.

So the old Uncle Liu came back again. As for whether he really came back or faked it, only he knew, and no one else could help him.

"I know, I just feel emotional," Hu Yanqiu said.

At this time Sicui stuck out his head: "What are you talking about again?"

"It's none of your business, little kid. Don't forget to do your homework in the morning and don't mess with your vegetable patch all the time." Gu Siwei said with a smile at his sister.

Sicui hummed, then retracted her head and ran out quickly.

Gu Siwei adjusted his clothes, and now the cotton coat was on his upper body. At this moment, Gu Siwei was wearing a newly sewn blue jacket, with a blue face and a white lining.

This is not Hu Yanqiu's craft. Hu Yanqiu is still an apprentice. She is reluctant to use real cloth for practice. She uses newspapers to paste them together and then cuts them.

The cotton-padded jacket on Gu Siwei was made by Wu Meiling.

Not only the clothes on Gu Siwei, but also the clothes of Gu Siwei's family and several old men were made by Wu Meiling and a group of aunts and sisters-in-law in the village.

Although these women usually gossip about you, they actually don't have any big bad intentions.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Gu Siwei said and turned towards the door. When he reached the door, he picked up the basket on the ground.

Hu Yanqiu said "Wait a minute" and took Xiaopao out with a small cup.

"Where did this thing come from?"

Gu Siwei discovered that it was a thermos cup.

The thermos cup at this time was different from what it was a few decades later. A few decades later, it was made of glass or iron. The current thermos cup is just a small hot water bottle with a bamboo sleeve on the outside and a small hot water bottle on the inside. Bold, the kind with silver-plated glass.

"My mother gave it to me when I came back last time. It was distributed in her factory. Each of the cadres at the middle level and above had one. She and my dad didn't need it, so they asked me to bring it to you."

Hu Yanqiu said and put the thermos cup into the basket.

"I made some mountain grass soup for you. This stuff will help you get rid of the cold. If you get cold on the way, take a sip. Don't rush on your way. Pay attention to the weather at this time..."

Hu Yanqiu gave Gu Siwei another instruction.

Gu Siwei did not feel that his wife was nagging, but instead felt a sense of happiness rushing over him.
