Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"Fourth dimension, fourth dimension!"

Just as he was about to enter the house, a voice called him came from over there. Gu Siwei turned around and looked over and found that it was Sun Laibao.

As for why Sun Laibao is standing at the door of the house where the old men live now, it is easy to explain. He is not senior enough, and there is nowhere for him to squat in the house now.

The longest person was naturally sitting in the living room of Gu Siwei's big house. Gu Siwei's big house was completely empty, with only six or seven people in total. Among them was the captain Yang Chuanwu, and the rest was accompanied by Hu Yanqiu.

Those further down are staying in the houses where a few old men currently live. As for the others, they have to stand at the door. For example, no one goes to Gu Siwei's study. Even if they ask people to go in, they will not go there. There will be people going in, and the place where the books are placed still has some status in the hearts of the old-fashioned Chinese people.

Gu Siwei came to Sun Laibao's side and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why did you build your house with such an orientation?" Sun Laibao tapped the new house over there with his chin shell.

Gu Siwei asked with a smile: "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"Feng shui is not good. People's houses are all oriented north-south. How come your house is so big and turned into an east-west direction? Isn't it good to go north-south?" Sun Laibao said.

Just as Gu Siwei was about to explain, he heard someone say: "Tao Tao is here."

Looking again, I found that the old man Tao Yisheng was walking from the road leading to the cliff with a smile, extending his hand to greet the villagers as he walked.

"Old man, I thought you weren't coming." Gu Siwei greeted him with a smile.

After hearing this, Tao Yisheng laughed and said: "How could you not come? I still want to have a few free meals here."

At this point, he patted his belly and said, "It hasn't tasted meat for a long time."

"You are a monk," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"I told you a long time ago that our sect can't help but why can't you remember this?" Tao Yisheng said cheerfully.

Just when Gu Siwei wanted to continue teasing the old Taoist, he saw that the corners of his eyes were a little different, as if they were bruised, so he asked, "What's wrong with the eyes?"

"nothing".

Tao Yisheng stretched out his hand and stroked it and said with a smile: "I'm just getting older, and I accidentally fell down. If it weren't for the delicious food you have here, I would still be sleeping at home."

Tao Yisheng said it easily, which made Gu Siwei feel relieved a little. However, he still had doubts in his heart. However, in front of so many people, Gu Siwei was not easy to ask, so he could only nodded and approved his question. explain.

"By the way, where are a bunch of old guys?"

Tao Yisheng also quickly avoided the topic.

Gu Siwei stretched out his hand and pointed. Tao Yisheng said, "I'll go over and talk to them." Then he walked towards the big house where Gu Siwei lived.

"Tao Tao Chang, Tao Tao Chang".

Sun Laibao called out to Tao Yisheng, pointed to the new house and asked, "This house faces east and west."

"What's wrong with this thing? Purple Qi Donglai is very good!"

After saying this, Tao Yisheng opened the door of the big house and walked in.

Hearing the purple energy coming from the east, Sun Laibao scratched his head, looked at the house and then at Tao Yisheng's leaving figure. He really didn't understand. Isn't this east-west house supposed to be small? Who is right?

"What are you doing around this thing? Are you still thinking about this? Who can't get around you?" Sun Laibao's eldest brother looked at his younger brother and said cheerfully.

Sun Laibao knew who he was, so he was not upset when he heard this and said, "That's right!"

Gu Siwei stood aside and watched for a while, and his mood improved.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He felt that it was almost time for the ceremony to begin. How could he care about the so-called auspicious time when it was so three or five minutes early? There are watches now. There were no watches before. At that time, what we looked at was the sun. What if there was no sun that day?

Therefore, Gu Siwei believes that good or bad luck lies in the heart, not in time.

Thinking of starting quickly, Gu Siwei entered the big house and saw everyone in the room chatting and eating. They all belonged to Gu Siwei's family, such as pastries and so on. The people here are quite old. You Give them some candy, and most of them can only melt it in their mouths. If they chew it unceremoniously, one or two of their teeth will be taken away.

"Everyone, I said, how about we go up to the beam now? There are still a group of people standing outside," Gu Siwei said to everyone.

Yang Chuanwu looked at Guo Xiangping and others.

"If the time is about right, let's start. When the fun is over, go back quickly. It's warm here, but it's a bit overwhelming. It makes people feel sleepy if they stay here. After a while, I want to go outside to refresh myself." Guo Xiangping said.

The other person laughed and said: "If you don't have that life, just say you don't have that life. Why do I feel quite comfortable staying here? By the way, how much does it cost to wear a four-dimensional thing? If it is suitable, I will wear one too."

Gu Siwei said: "It's not cheap. The inside and outside of this thing cost at least the price of a bicycle."

"So expensive? Are these few quick-breaking iron tablets so expensive?"

Hearing the price, the old man looked surprised. He didn't believe that the iron stove in front of him cost the price of a bicycle. If the bicycle was expensive, then the person had something. What did he have? How dare you charge so much for a few iron sheets?

"Whoever sells this thing is really stupid... Hey, you see why I'm so worried about it. If I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

The old man was just about to say that only a fool would buy it, but then he thought, isn't this a fool in front of him? Not only does he have one at home, but there are five or six of them, large and small.

So he quickly changed his tune.

Gu Siwei doesn't care about this. He understands that everyone's consumption concepts are different, and you can't explain it to others. Just like when he just got more than 10,000 a month, he went home and heard their neighbors talking about it. Ten thousand yuan a month, how can I spend all this money?

So it's best not to explain this matter. The more you explain it, the harder it will be to understand.

"It's okay, many people think so," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Yang Chuanwu immediately said: "Since we said we should start, don't sit like this. Everyone should go out and get ready to start."

Everyone in the room stood up after hearing this, and everyone came to the door together.

People here came out and stood at the door of the house over there. Those who didn't have their turn to enter the house immediately started shouting.

"It's about to begin, it's about to begin!"

The people in the room over there naturally walked out as soon as they heard this.

Gu Siwei said, "Let's start."

Logically speaking, Li Fanghai, Yu Yingzhi and others should be asked to do the beam lifting. However, there are many young people now, so the most tiring work such as turning the turntable is given to the young people in the village.

Nowadays, for young people, it is not work, it is almost like playing.

"Those who can push the beam up without falling will be rewarded with a pack of cigarettes and a small pack of milk candies!"

Gu Siwei also made a big bet here!

As soon as they heard about this benefit, the young people all crowded towards the turntable. The last long rotating pole was not only pushed but also pulled by others. With so many people, let alone one big beam, even three poles could be easily rotated. stand up.

Originally, the beams were all tied up, but the young man pushed and pulled them, and the beams stood up.

"Slow down, slow down! Our people haven't gone up yet."

Gu Siwei's reward was a little too strong, and the young man used it a little too hard, so the beam was lifted to the height of the gable early.

Li Fanghai was still standing below. Seeing this, he immediately climbed up the wooden ladder using his hands and feet, shouting to the young man as he climbed.

"Uncle Siwei, what's the reward for helping to grind the beams here?"

Some young people didn't grab the turntable. Seeing that there was still life here, they immediately shouted to Gu Siwei.

"Still the same!"

Gu Siwei waved his hand generously.

oh!

The remaining young people swarmed into the house again and rode directly to the wall and gable along the scaffolding that had not yet been dismantled.

Most young people don't put in much effort, or even use their strength, but don't they just want to be lively? If they want to be lively, they are afraid of spending money?

Gu Siwei is not a stingy person.

He turned around and returned to the house. When he came out, he had three and a half cigarettes in his hand. He took out one and gave it to Hu Yanqiu, who was putting steamed buns, peanuts, some dried fruits, and of course sugar into the bucket. He motioned for her to put a cigarette in his hand. Take it apart and put it in too.

The remaining two and a half cigarettes were given to Wu Meiling, so that the Wu family's sister-in-law could share the cigarettes with the young men in the village later. There were only so many young people of this age in the village, and there were only a few who had too many. Two and a half are enough.

"What's up is hurry up!"

The group of people pushing the turntable below were a little overwhelmed now, and they all urged the people above to go faster.

"If you don't have the ability, don't do this job."

Which of the boys above is willing to admit it? So he spoke out to criticize people.

"Do we care about this weight?"

There are still people who are arrogant here.

Yang Chuanwu saw it and smiled and said: "Stop arguing, Siwei, Siwei, how are your preparations over there?"

Seeing Gu Siwei, he was stunned for a moment.

Yang Chuanwu knew that he was busy and forgot, so he reminded: "Whips and firecrackers are ready. As soon as the beam is in place, light it as soon as the beam flag is unfolded!"

Only then did Gu Siwei remember that the candies and other things scattered here were ready, and arrangements were made for the newly added cigarettes, so that he forgot about the firecrackers.

After hearing this, he immediately went into the house and took out a thousand-ring red cannon from the cabinet at the door.

He threw it directly onto the snow. On the white snow, he rolled the untied red cannon directly on the ground. It was carved into a beaming red line, which was particularly bright against the white snowflakes.

The old men were in position, and the boys below were also working hard. The middle beam had been lifted into position.

"It's time to go to bed!"

As Li Fanghai and the others above roared, the beam was pulled up and pushed towards the bayonet on the gable wall.

The young people below had mastered the hand technique, and when they slowly let go, they felt that the power on the putter suddenly disappeared, and some of them even staggered.

The beam was in place. At this time, Lu Yan, who was riding in the middle, reached out and pulled the rope tying the beam.

The beam flag hung directly down, and the red flag was nailed with golden cloth: the joy of the completion of the Huatang. Below are slightly smaller characters, which read: November 9, the last year of Ding.
