Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

After sending Guo Shengshui away, Gu Siwei took Sicui and gave him the meal.

Xi Liu, Xi Liu!

Gu Siwei heard the strange noise and asked Sicui, "What are you doing?"

Sicui's little face moved away from the bowl: "Brother, it's so delicious, I'll eat all the bottom of the bowl."

It turns out that the little girl is sucking the bowl.

"Okay, you look like you have no future. Let's just wait until tomorrow. We will have enough rice and noodles at home from now on," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"Really?" Sicui's eyes lit up a little after hearing this, but soon darkened again.

"It's better not to do it. It's very hard for my brother to go hunting in the woods. If I eat less, my brother will have to work less hard."

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "You girl, there is nothing hard to do. Just forget about this matter. Just stay at home and don't cause trouble. Also, don't run to the river, it's dangerous."

Gu Siwei said something to Sicui.

As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed the girl's head casually.

This action stunned Sicui, but she soon started laughing happily. When she smiled, her two small eyes were bent like crescent moons.

I have to say that following Gu Siwei these days, Sicui has gained weight. Not only has she gained weight, but her energy has also improved. She no longer acts like a little skeleton like before. As she has gained weight, the little girl has also gradually grown. Showed his appearance.

"I'm going to wash the dishes and wash the pot." Sicui picked up Gu Siwei's dishes and chopsticks, put them in the pot, and prepared to hold the pot's ears to wash the pot.

Gu Siwei asked: "Go to the river?"

"No, I took some water and stored it in the original broken tank. It's almost enough for daily use."

Only then did Gu Siwei remember that he should have a complete vat at home. Everyone in the village used vats to store water, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Sicui, did you also buy the vat in the town?"

Sicui said: "Buy a vat? You don't have to go to the town, but it's only far away, and it's not easy to transport it back. You have to wait until Uncle Shengshui drives the animals to the west to fill the vat before you can buy the vat. The vats there are not only It’s cheap and big, because there is a specialized vat-making factory there. We don’t have one here, and no one buys it in the town. In addition, people in the county town go to Chongwen Town to buy vats..."

After listening to Sicui's words, Gu Siwei hummed.

Thinking of the vat, Gu Siwei stood up and went to find Guo Shengshui.

When they arrived at Guo Shengshui's house, they didn't find anyone. They only saw a few of his children. The eldest child said they had gone to the fields, so Gu Siwei went to the fields to look for people.

Guo Shengshui's house is on the other side of the river, so you have to use a boat or a raft to get from here to there.

Almost every family in the village has a boat, except Gu Siwei's family, of course, but Gu Siwei has a raft. The rafts that were used to rebuild the small courtyard are all placed on the shore.

But when they got to the river, they happened to see a family rowing back from the other side, so Gu Siwei borrowed their boat and poled to the other side.

It's almost dark, but you can actually see people in the fields on the other side. It's obvious that the land is not yours, and the energy is different.

"Fourth-dimensional brothers".

"Brother Shengshui, I have something to ask you." Gu Siwei explained his purpose.

Guo Shengshui's wife was also beside her. She listened carefully and without waiting for her husband's consent, she opened her mouth and said: "Brother Siwei, it's not easy to get a vat back. It's okay if it's a smaller one. It's a big vat filled with water." Very hard.

You have been to the town, too. After walking that stretch of road, the road to Chongwen Town is not as difficult as the one to the town, but it is not much worse. There is a section of the road where livestock carts cannot move, so people have to use it. Carry it over here...".

Upon hearing this, Gu Siwei immediately smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about the tank. I didn't expect that it would be quite laborious to transport it in. Just pretend that I didn't say anything about it. I'm free. Go to Chongwen."

Don’t you understand this? People think it’s too difficult to help me buy a tank, so I’m not prepared to help me buy it.

Guo Shengshui said: "You know nothing about women, brother Siwei, if you can wait for a few months, the village will definitely go to Chongwen Town when spring starts, and I will bring you a bite Just bring the tank back, it won't take anything."

Gu Siwei saw that Guo Shengshui's wife's expression changed. She must have felt sorry for her man, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll just go there in two days to see what I can buy."

Since things were a bit difficult, Gu Siwei decided to go on his own.

If things are simple, then leave them to others. Since things are so difficult, it is better not to ask for help. Asking for help is all a favor, and the favors owed to others must be repaid, and often double.

Mrs. Guo Shengshui was not happy, so Gu Siwei just gave up.

When the matter was not settled, Gu Siwei rowed the boat back to the other side, pulled the boat ashore, and tied it to a big tree. He went to the other person's yard to talk to them before going back.

When we arrived at Liu Fulin's yard, Liu Dezhu was eating dinner with a bowl in his hands and a piece of potato stuck on his chopsticks.

"Siwei brother".

"Where to eat?" Gu Siwei asked cheerfully.

Liu Dezhu said again: "Brother Siwei, what have you been doing?"

Gu Siwei said: "If you want to buy a vat, go to Brother Shengshui. Who knew it was so difficult to buy a vat."

Liu Dezhu was a little stunned. He blinked for a while before asking, "What's so difficult?"

Gu Siwei said: "It is said that there is a section of the road that has to be carried by people, which is a bit troublesome."

Liu Dezhu curled his lips and said: "What kind of road do you have to carry over there? Most of the roads over there are waterways. It's a bit difficult when you go there. If you want to go against the current, you have to pull the boat for a while. If there is any trouble when you come back, wait for the water to pass by. When you get there, go to the first team. You've walked that way, what's wrong with it?"

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled: "Forget it, I won't bother others."

"I'll go with you. You can buy as many jars as you want. I have the strength." Liu Dezhu put his chopsticks into the bowl and patted his chest.

Gu Siwei was happy: "Okay, I'll see you when I go."

Gu Siwei just said that, and he was not planning to take Liu Dezhu with him. It would be better to drive the animals with him.

After chatting with Liu Dezhu, Gu Siwei returned to his small courtyard. Sicui had already washed the pots and dishes and was sitting at the door of the main room, looking outside in a daze. When he saw Gu Siwei coming back, his face showed gave a sweet smile.

"Brother, I'm back," Sicui said.

Um.

Gu Siwei responded.

Carrying a bench, Gu Siwei sat at the door like Sicui, waiting for it to get dark and light the oil lamp. Within half an hour, they each went back to their rooms and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Gu Siwei naturally used the excuse to go hunting and left some pancakes for Sicui. Of course, there was still some flour at home. In short, it was enough for Sicui to eat for two or three days, so he returned to Yinsong. Cliff.

Drilling into the space and continuing to cut wood with an axe, the process was boring, but Gu Siwei knew that he wanted to live in a satisfactory house now, and this was the only way. Do you want to use a chain saw? Nowadays, it is a foreign product, and there is no way to get it, let alone get it.

Therefore, the wood needs an axe, the board needs a manual saw, and if you want the board to be flat, you need a woodworking plane.

There is nothing much to say about practicing, just one root at a time. The only thing that saves Gu Siwei is that with the space, it is very convenient for him to carry materials. Several tons of materials can be carried with a wave of his hand.

Gu Siwei went back a few days to practice boring tasks and continued to practice. He became more and more proficient in using the axe, and the wood he chopped became smoother and smoother.

At the appointed time, Gu Siwei brought some grain. This time, Gu Siwei was not going to give others white flour, but directly gave them wheat, which made it into white flour. Gu Siwei felt that he didn't need to worry about this.

After bringing the wheat, after thinking for a while, Gu Siwei brought another small basket with about fifty wild eggs. Hu Yanqiu was polite to him, so he had to be polite too.

Lao Gu is such a man. When people are polite to him, he will be more polite. If someone gets in trouble with him, he will just roll up his sleeves and beat them.

Returning to the courtyard, Gu Siwei stood at the door and noticed that the courtyard had changed.

A small vegetable garden was opened outside, and the circle was surrounded by a half-person-high fence. The ground inside had obviously been turned over, and the originally hard ground turned into soft soil, and some green things also popped up. It was relatively Cold-resistant things like green garlic and local bitter greens have sprouted.

"Sicui, I didn't expect to build a garden so soon." Gu Siwei felt that this ten-year-old girl was really capable.

"elder brother!"

Sicui heard the noise and stuck her head out from the broken courtyard wall. She was very happy to see Gu Siwei smiling.

"This small vegetable garden is pretty good," Gu Siwei praised.

Sicui chuckled: "I'll grow whatever you want to eat, but it's cold now and we can't grow many of them. When spring comes, we can grow many, many vegetables here."

Gu Siwei listened happily to Sicui's words, nodding while listening.

After waiting for Sicui to finish speaking, Gu Siwei waved to Sicui.

When Liang Zhong entered the room, Kairu muttered that this time Gu Siwei went to the factory and planned to stay for two more days. It had nothing to do with Hu Yanqiu, but he wanted to see if he could sneak into the factory and get something for himself. .

I was going to go for a few days, so I naturally had to talk to Sicui and leave something behind.

"Brother, if you haven't finished eating what you left last time, don't keep it. If you want to keep it, leave some pancakes. It's too easy for people to see when you eat other things. Last time I heated up the rabbit meat and stood there. It smells right at the entrance to the yard."

Sicui was a little dizzy, because she ate in hiding, and she felt very stressed.

Why, because the food at Gu Siwei's family is good. At this time, people who eat white flour and rice every day must be quite high-ranking officials. What's more, rabbits and pheasants appear on the dining table of Gu Siwei's family from time to time. .

Think about it, eating a meal is not like being a thief and avoiding people.

Gu Siwei listened happily: "Okay, let's have pancakes then. I'll try my best to prepare the rabbit meat for you in the mountains. Try not to cook it and bake it instead. When you want to eat it, simmer it by the stove. The taste will be great." It won’t be far away.”

"Yeah!" Sicui nodded.

Just like that, Gu Siwei stayed at home for less than half an hour before running towards the factory.
