Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

After hearing this, Zheng Youcai directly blocked Gu Siwei with his words: "Otherwise, just follow my example!"

"Me? Forget it, I'm afraid I'll make you angry to death. I can't do a skillful job," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"You're just talking nonsense to me. You can't do manual work. Isn't your machine work much more difficult to learn than me, a bamboo craftsman?" Zheng Youcai scolded Gu Siwei with a smile.

"You just don't want to learn and don't look down on my skills."

Gu Siwei said: "It's really not the case. If I had the opportunity before, I would definitely learn your craft. But wasn't it true that I couldn't make a living in the past? How can I choose to learn a craft that can make me a living?"

"It's still nonsense." Zheng Youcai didn't believe it, but he was very satisfied with Gu Siwei's explanation. In any case, he was praised.

Zheng Youcai didn't know that what Gu Siwei said was true. If he had a bamboo master with Zheng Youcai's skills willing to teach him when he was a teenager, he would have learned how to operate a machine tool, knitted something, and sold it for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a piece. , although it takes a long time, but there are only a few of them in a year, which is not much better than dealing with machines all day long.

"Otherwise, when you two have a child, let him learn from me, and I will teach you all the basics." Zheng Youcai used words to block Siwei again.

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at his wife, fearing that she would hear.

As a result, when I turned around, I saw Hu Yanqiu standing a few steps away, his expression obviously not good.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

But this can't be blamed on Zheng Youcai. How did he know that Hu Yanqiu was infertile.

He looked at his wife with concern.

When Hu Yanqiu saw Gu Siwei looking at him, he forced a smile on his face and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

The people at the table didn't notice the couple's little behavior, mainly because everyone was hungry and drank some wine, so they didn't have time to observe others.

However, these actions did not escape the eyes of Wu Meiling who was serving the dishes. It's just that she always knew it in her heart, but she couldn't speak it out loud. She didn't ask more questions when she noticed something unusual.

"What, the boss of the Sun family can't do it? Or is the Sun family being slow to treat you?" Gu Siwei turned around and wiped away the problem.

Zheng Youcai said: "It's really good. You didn't keep any of the things you gave me. You brought them all to me. I had to leave my children to eat with me every time."

"Isn't that great? It just helps you two develop a relationship," Song Rui said with a smile.

Everyone knew what was going on at a glance. Zheng Youcai knew it himself, but he was reluctant to say that he would drive this child away. Old man, most people who have children of their own would like to have their grandson around them, even if they look at it, they will feel sad in their hearts. I am happy, I don’t have any grandchildren, and I feel comfortable looking at other people’s little kids.

So Zheng Youcai clearly knew that the reason why people sent the child here was to let the child develop a relationship with him, but he still pretended not to know.

"Alas" Zheng Youcai said nothing.

But with this sigh, everyone understood that it was only a matter of time to accept this apprentice. People's hearts are made of flesh, and he, Zheng Youcai, did not grow up eating rocks. Sun Laibao and his wife took care of him every few days. Tian went to take it apart, clean it, and mend it for him. He, Zheng Youcai, could not look at it.

No matter how deeply he was hurt by Liu Dezhu, he couldn't blame Sun Laibao and his wife. Anyone who could do this would probably have a hard time living to Zheng Youcai's age.

"Have you learned anything new?" Song Rui saw that what everyone said was so heavy, so he changed the subject.

"What's up?"

Guo Shengshou knew that he had just come back from the county yesterday, so he reached out and pinched the chicken wings he had just fished out. After a pause and asking a question, he put the wings in his mouth and slowly picked them. He picked up the meat from the wings and listened carefully to what Song Rui had to say.

"That leather meeting was stolen," Song Rui said with a smile.

Poof!

Half the table was happy.

"Stealed? They usually do it to others, but now someone finally does it to them? Who did it?" Lu Yan was very happy when he heard that the Gehui gang had been taken advantage of.

Song Rui said: "How do I know this? It seems that there was a conflict with the Industrial Bureau, and this time the Industrial Bureau did not let it go. The two sides started fighting directly. As a result, the boys from the Gehui were directly killed."

Song Rui also spoke with excitement, describing the whole incident in detail, as if he saw it directly on the spot.

Everyone enjoyed listening to it, everyone nodded in agreement, took a sip of wine, and spit out the word.

No one knew that the instigator was sitting among them now, holding a bowl and drinking a small drink like everyone else.

What Gu Siwei was happy about was not that he was beaten by the Gehui gang, but that Song Rui's description said that he was like the protagonist of a martial arts novel, acting for heaven. If Song Rui knew that Gu Siwei was actually doing it for a few barrels of oil, I probably don’t know what to think.

After hearing what was said, Gu Siwei asked Yu Yingzhi: "How about it, Old Man Yu, do you want to change the pot for you?"

Hiss~hiss~hiss!

At this time, Yu Yingzhi was gasping for air, because he was being hurt, but even so, Yu Yingzhi still waved his hands.

"No, no, this is good. If I eat from other pots, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit outside."

Yu Yingzhi didn’t want to mention anything about white pots. Spicy food is something you really want to eat. After eating and staying once, you will think about this taste in the future, especially eating spicy pots on such a cold day. They all exuded an indescribable refreshing energy.

At this moment, Yu Yingzhi also felt it and began to fall in love with the taste.

It must be said that it was only thanks to the weather that Yu Yingzhi could accept it so easily.

It was snowing outside, and the tables were also placed outside. Of course, there was a shed on the top, otherwise everyone wouldn't be able to sit down.

As the old saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but it's actually not too cold now, about four to five degrees. Everyone was wrapped in cotton-padded clothes and had been working for another day, so it was easy to sit still.

It's not that Gu Siwei doesn't want to put it in the house, but there are so many people around the table, and the bottom is still burning charcoal. If something goes wrong if it is put in the house, he has no way to do it. The most important thing is that half of the people who eat are very young. Well, if anything happens, go to the hospital here? I was afraid that if no one arrived, I would have to carry it back to prepare for the banquet.

It's better to put it outside. Although it's a little colder, when the fire is set up, it's like everyone is sitting next to the fire, and it's not too cold.

Now when the pot is eaten, not only is it not cold anymore, but everyone is sweating slightly on their foreheads. It's snowing outside, and I'm sweating while eating the hot pot. This feeling is really indescribably refreshing. Only people who eat can understand it, and it is impossible to explain it at all.

No words can describe it.

"By the way, Siwei, I heard that you are entering the mountains again?"

Song Rui suddenly remembered that Gu Siwei had said when he was on the roof just now that he would prepare to go into the mountains again in a few days, that is, after New Year's Day. This time it would still take more than ten days to a month.

Gu Siwei nodded: "Well, I have a customer who wants mountain goods, and the price is good."

"Be careful when entering the mountains at this time. No one knows what is hidden under the snow." Tao Yisheng gave some advice after hearing this.

There was no one at the table who was not curious about what kind of person was looking for Gu Siwei and what kind of goods he wanted, so that Gu Siwei could leave home for almost a month to do this.

However, no one asked. They had asked before, and Gu Siwei always made fun of him. But one time, Tao Yisheng said, this is something that most old mountain guests would not say, and they would not say anything. This is the rule.

After this incident, no one asked anymore, thinking that this was Gu Siwei's compliance with the old mountain guest's rules.

"I know, I will be careful," Gu Siwei nodded and responded, which was regarded as Tao Yisheng's kindness.

"It's better not to stay in the mountains on snowy days like this," Yu Yingzhi also said.

Gu Siwei said: "It's okay, I will be careful myself. Don't be idle at home. You know how to do the work at home by yourself?"

Yu Yingzhi laughed and said, "Don't worry. Now that I don't work for a day, I feel like something is missing."

"You're a bitch, don't take us with you, okay?" Li Fanghai smiled, picked up the bowl in front of him, touched it with Yu Yingzhi, and expressed that he agreed with what he said.

Lu Yan said: "Don't tell me, maybe I'm used to working. Now that I lie down on the bed after working all day, I feel like I'm sleeping soundly."

"Another cheap guy." Li Fanghai smiled again, holding the bowl and touching it with Lu Yan.

"Come!"

Li Fanghai finished drinking with the two of them, and then touched with You Xugang and Zhou Guangxian.

Although Zhou Guangxian had a straight face, he still picked up the bowl.

"Exactly when to come back, one night later will be the Chinese New Year, so we can't spend it down here, right?" Li Fanghai became serious and asked Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said: "I will definitely come back in the next year. No matter whether things are done or not, I will come back. How can I stay out after the New Year?"

"How will you spend the New Year this year?" Song Rui asked.

Song Rui thought that if it was Gu Siwei's family, he would go to his own house and the two families would be busy together. Then he thought, as his own house was so dilapidated, he really couldn't stay with two families, so he should come to Gu Siwei's house. Then it was inappropriate for him to mention it, so he changed the way he said it.

Gu Siwei said: "Yan Qiu is planning to go to the factory in two days to ask and see what the father-in-law and mother-in-law say. We will make arrangements then. Anyway, it will be either at the factory or here."

When Song Rui heard this, he nodded and there was no need to mention his idea again.

Everyone was chatting while eating, and the chill in their bodies had long gone. The hot pot and white wine were still gathered around the stove, making everyone warm.

Besides, I had nothing to do tomorrow, so I couldn't eat well. In the end, I drank too much, and there were people dancing. Finally, Li Fanghai, who was excited, directly demonstrated to everyone the bayonet drill he used to do when he was leading the army.

The old man was shouting, "ho, ho, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha," and stabbing with a virtual spear in a decent manner, and the people next to him also cheered loudly.

The little atmosphere was really lively.
