Life in a quiet village in Xianshan
Chapter 611 Return to the Village
After making arrangements for two new employees in the provincial capital and paying them one month's salary in advance, Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu got into the delivery car and returned to Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi is still the same as when he left. He still works in the fields, has three meals a day, and there is still no meat on the dining table at home for many days.
Gu Siwei is a little busy these days, mainly because as time goes by, the cherry trees planted by the villagers are gradually becoming full of fruits.
At this time, everyone in Zhuangzi started to get busy.
Gu Siwei got up early in the morning, cleaned himself up, and started making breakfast for his wife and children. When breakfast was about to be ready, Hu Yanqiu and a few skinny monkeys got up.
"Good morning, Dad!"
"Morning, it's already early, hurry up and wash up and eat," Gu Siwei said to a group of children.
The little guys were a little confused as they listened. Some were scratching their bellies, while others were yawning, looking like they hadn't gotten enough sleep.
"Did you hear that, Boqi, take your brothers and wash up. You have to hurry, or you will be late for school," Gu Siwei said to the eldest child at home.
"Well, Dad, I understand, let's go." Boqi was very obedient and began to follow his father's wishes, pulling or pushing his brothers to get a jar to squeeze toothpaste and brush their teeth.
When Gu Siwei saw that the children were all busy, he walked towards his room.
"Are you up?" Gu Siwei opened the door and Hu Yanqiu was already sitting in front of the dressing table and began to comb his hair.
When Hu Yanqiu saw her husband coming in, he covered his mouth and yawned: "I don't know what's going on these days. I'm getting more and more sleepy. I've never been like this before."
As soon as he arrived home from Hong Kong, Hu Yanqiu's stomach began to swell, and he couldn't hide it now. Along with his growing belly, Hu Yanqiu also feels sleepy. Now he feels sleepy at every turn. He used to be able to work more than ten hours a day, but now he starts to doze off after dinner every day when he gets home.
"It's not easy to want to sleep. Please arrange all the things at hand. You don't look like yourself and you are still working so hard. Don't hurt my precious little girl," Gu Siwei said to his wife.
Hu Yanqiu said: "Where is this? I was not arrogant when I was pregnant with them. Now... oh, forget it, let's not mention it."
At this point, Hu Yanqiu patted his belly: "This little thing is really a troublemaker. It's tiring to support three people. He is definitely not a peaceful child."
"Girl, it's better to be more lively," Gu Siwei said with a smile.
"You can't be too lively. A girl must be more dignified," Hu Yanqiu said.
Gu Siwei said: "How can you be so dignified? My daughter comes to our house just to enjoy life. I and I have given her all the money she should earn in her lifetime."
"You partial devil, why haven't I seen you say this before?" Hu Yanqiu was immediately happy after hearing this.
Gu Siwei said: "They are all men. They can't earn anything by themselves. What do you think I am capable of!"
Hu Yanqiu glanced at him, then stroked his slightly bulging belly: "This girl is a lucky little person."
"Of course, our daughter," Gu Siwei said.
Hu Yanqiu suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Siwei: "When will the people from the company in Hong Kong arrive?"
"Just these two days, what happened?" Gu Siwei felt a little strange, why his wife suddenly asked about this matter.
Hu Yanqiu said: "I heard a group of old ladies get together yesterday and say that there are so many fruits this year, and I don't know where to sell them, and I don't know how much share each family will allocate."
"Let the old ladies talk if they like. What's the point?" Gu Siwei didn't take it seriously.
Hu Yanqiu said: "It's better to tell everyone about this matter as early as possible. It's not a problem to hide it. Also, Uncle Zheng and his apprentice are going to Hong Kong City soon. Do we need to pay some money here?" , with such high consumption in Hong Kong, what can they do with their own money?"
In another seven or eight days, Zheng Youcai took Sun Mingshi to gather in the provincial capital, and then joined the large army. They first went to Guangdong Province to stay for a few days, mainly to learn discipline and so on, before going to Hong Kong City. There I participated in a folk craft exchange meeting between the two places.
"There is no need to bring anything to them, we can just pretend not to know. If we give it, it will make us look troublesome. Besides, if we give it here and word spreads over there, how will you let other villagers deal with it?" "Gu Siwei said.
Hu Yanqiu nodded and said, "I thought a little wrong."
"Dad, Mom, it's time to eat."
Just when Gu Siwei was still about to say a few words, the shouts of his third son came from outside.
"Let's go out to eat. If you feel you're not energetic yet, just rest today. I'll just tell Old Man Tao for you when I pass by the school," Gu Siwei said.
Hu Yanqiu said: "It's okay, just take it slow. You go ahead and eat. I don't seem to have much appetite."
Gu Siwei thought for a moment, then went out and came to the kitchen. He watched the child prepare the rice and then began to eat noisily. Gu Siwei himself turned around and walked up the hillside.
When I was waiting to come down the slope, I had a piece of dried white fungus and some dried nuts in my hand.
Back in the kitchen, Gu Siwei soaked these things in warm water and then threw them into the space when no one was paying attention.
After doing this, Gu Siwei served himself a bowl of rice porridge, paired with the freshly baked egg pancakes, and started eating.
Waiting for Gu Siwei to finish his meal in a hurry, he put the bowl on the table, got up and returned to the kitchen, taking out all the dried nuts and other things that he had just thrown into the space to soak.
At this time, the dried nuts were almost soaked, so after Gu Siwei poured water once, he put the dried nuts and dried white fungus into the pot and boiled them.
After waiting for the water to boil, add a little sugar, continue to pour into the small crock, and simmer slowly over low heat.
He had just simmered the white fungus soup here when Hu Yanqiu came over.
"What are you doing?" Hu Yanqiu came over curiously and asked when he saw Gu Siwei busy in the kitchen and several of his children squatting by the ditch washing dishes.
Gu Siwei said: "Don't you have little appetite? I'll stew a white fungus soup for you. I'll put it in an insulated cup for you. You can take a few sips when you're fine. It will warm your stomach and resist hunger."
After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu said: "There's no need. I'll go to school after eating a little. Don't bring it with me. I won't have two sips by then, and I will have to satisfy the greed of those children."
Gu Siwei originally knew that such a situation would happen, so he smiled and said: "Then why do you still have two sips? It's better than nothing."
Hu Yanqiu smiled and said, "That's up to you."
"Don't forget, you must eat boiled eggs!"
Seeing his daughter-in-law leaving the kitchen to eat, Gu Siwei gave special instructions.
"I know," Hu Yanqiu said and walked towards the small restaurant.
Before Gu Siwei's tremella soup was finished simmering, Hu Yanqiu had already finished breakfast and took the children to school.
By the time Gu Siwei was waiting for the soup to be simmered, his mother-in-law had already disappeared.
"Isn't this... a joke?" Gu Siwei muttered, then went back to the house to find the thermos cup at home.
Many people may not have seen this thing before. It is actually a pot-bellied version of a hot water bottle, and its main function is to keep warm. Of course, the thermal insulation effect is not very good, but it is already considered a pretty good thing at this time.
After pouring most of the pot of white fungus soup, the remaining thermos can no longer be filled. Gu Siwei is like this every time. He would rather make more than not enough. The main thing is that he is not afraid of waste.
Of course, there is nothing to waste in Lao Gu's family, because there are a bunch of living bellies, and it is impossible to leave anything edible.
Grass and other things, there are sheep at home, not to mention meat and so on, the big hairy blood bowl has a big mouth, and there are things that can't fit in its stomach?
Therefore, although Gu Siwei did a lot every time, no one could accuse him of extravagance and waste.
There was almost a soup bowl left, and Gu Siwei divided it into two portions. One large portion was poured into Da Mao's food bowl, and the other small portion was poured into the two cats' bowls.
Yousui doesn’t have it, because it doesn’t like sweet things very much, so it doesn’t have a share.
Big Mao was not here this morning. It was not that he was not here this morning, but he had not been seen since noon yesterday. Everyone was not surprised by Big Mao's disappearance.
Carrying the thermos flask, Gu Siwei slapped You Ni on the forehead twice and told You Ni to take care of his home. He carried the thermos flask and prepared to deliver the white fungus soup to Principal Hu.
After getting off the cliff and getting on his own boat, Gu Siwei drifted all the way down the river. When he passed the fork, he met Liu Dezhu and his wife who were returning home.
"Brother Siwei!"
Liu Dezhu opened his mouth and greeted Gu Siwei.
"Dezhu is back," Gu Siwei also said to him with a smile.
Although we don't have much interaction with each other now, we haven't broken up with each other yet. We can't show off face after meeting and greeting each other.
Zhou Lanbing was sitting on Liu Dezhu's boat. Zhou Lanbing was holding their youngest son in his arms. I don't know whether it was intentional or not. Zhou Lanbing lowered his head from the moment he saw Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei didn't have time to pay attention to her.
The boats of the two families were already separated by such a mistake, and they didn't have time to say a few more words.
However, Zhou Lanbing has become a lot more comfortable during this period. As for her father's intention to be the brigade secretary, it has already become a matter of ridicule behind the back of many villagers.
Gu Siwei arrived at Zhuangzi, parked the boat next to his wife's boat, dropped the anchor and jumped ashore.
"Siwei, what good things are you carrying?"
As soon as we landed, we met Sun Laibao carrying a long pole.
"Brother Lai Bao, are you here to go?"
Seeing that Sun Laibao was in disguise, Gu Siwei knew what kind of work this person was going to do.
