Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Gu Siwei looked at the tiger. The tiger who had abandoned the rabbit was playing with his children. A group of villagers nearby were laughing and admiring the tiger's scene of a loving mother and a filial son.

After watching for a while, Gu Siwei decided to go home and just take a walk around in the snow to get his fill.

Just when Gu Siwei was about to go home, the sound of a bell was heard from the direction of the village entrance. As soon as the sound rang in his ears, everyone here looked in the direction of the sound of the bell. .

Just when Gu Siwei was wondering who was coming to Zhuangzi so early in the morning, he heard a voice in his ear: "Shou Shui is back!"

Gu Siwei understood as soon as he heard that Guo Shengshou was back, but then came another question, that is, Guo Shengshou was back, why was there still a ringing sound?

Out of curiosity, Gu Siwei stepped forward and followed the villagers about three or four meters forward when he saw several mules walking towards him.

Before Gu Siwei could see clearly, Tao Yisheng next to him had already shouted loudly at Guo Shengshou over there.

"Shengshou, have you brought me what I want?"

Guo Shengshou's voice soon came from the other side: "Take it, take it, not only it's yours, but we've also got all the things you want. Some of them are really unavailable, so we have to forget it." .

Hearing this conversation, Gu Siwei curiously asked Tao Yisheng next to him: "What did everyone buy?"

Tao Yisheng turned to Gu Siwei and asked: "It's nothing. It's the New Year soon. Let's get together and let Shengshou go out and buy some popular New Year's goods. It doesn't have much to do with you. How can your family do that?" Missing this...".

As he said that, Guo Shengshou was already driving his mule in front of him.

Now Gu Siwei could see clearly. The backs of several big mules were so loaded with things that they almost collapsed. After a brief look, he found that except for one mule, which had cakes and other things on its back, the rest The mule that came down had the same thing all on its back.

What?

bike!

This made Gu Siwei not know what to say for a while.

“Why buy so many bicycles?”

After a while, Gu Siwei asked.

Someone nearby heard this and said to Gu Siwei: "Ride. If you have a bicycle at home, your children can learn to ride a bicycle. Don't even know how to ride a bicycle when the time comes. That would be a bit embarrassing."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei remembered that being able to ride a bicycle at this time was considered a skill.

He was still interested at first, but after seeing so many bicycles, Gu Siwei didn't want to stay any longer. He tightened his coat, said hello to the guys, and then returned to the boat at home, all the way back to his home. .

Back home, Hu Yanqiu was taking the children to build a snowman, and Gu Siwei naturally wanted to join in.

While shoveling the snow, Gu Siwei talked about what he had just seen in the village.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu said: "It seems that Brother Shengshou did a pretty good job."

"What's good?" Gu Siwei asked.

Hu Yanqiu said: "A few years ago, sister-in-law Meiling said that she would find a job for Brother Shengshou to do so that he would have nothing to do at home all day."

Gu Siwei nodded. Compared to Wu Meiling, Guo Shengshou's presence in the village is not very strong. As a man, his wife is doing better than him, so he always feels a little uncomfortable. Guo Shengshou is not in a bad mood. It's easy to beat your wife and children to vent your anger, but you can't get away with things like drinking a little wine.

Wu Meiling also knew what her husband was thinking, so she thought that while the villagers had a little extra money in their hands, they wanted to buy new year's goods and so on. She asked Guo Shengshou to take over the job, count the things the villagers wanted to buy, and then go to the county seat. Go shopping here.

Wu Meiling's family was originally a merchant. Now as some things are liberalized, the relatives of Wu Meiling's family have also taken off their hats one after another.

How about a group of people who were doing well in the past are still doing well now. As soon as the hats were removed, these people began to stand out. Although they are not obvious now, in many units in the county, relatives of Wu Meiling's family also began to be able to do well. It's time to do some small things.

So Guo Shengshou took the money to the county town, found his relatives at home, and helped the villagers purchase new year's goods.

The folks are rich, but it’s not easy to travel to the county town. What’s more, some people just want some small things, so it’s not worth the trip alone. Even if they buy big items, someone will deliver them to their door at a normal price. Who would be willing to spend two days traveling back and forth in this cold weather? Wouldn't it be nice to have this time to sleep in at home and play mahjong or something like that?

Therefore, as soon as Guo Shengshou brought up the matter, it immediately aroused an enthusiastic response from the villagers, so this purchasing trip was launched.

"Sister-in-law Meiling really understands this," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Hu Yanqiu said: "It's not that I want to make money, it's just that my sister-in-law is often unhappy when she sees Brother Shengshou, especially when people talk about their hen Si Chen. Although she doesn't say it on the surface, Brother Shengshou is unhappy in his heart... …”.

"It's nothing to do with this matter." Gu Siwei curled his lips.

Seeing that the snowman was almost finished, Hu Yanqiu said, "You guys have fun, I'm going back to the house."

Gu Siwei stopped his daughter-in-law and said, "It's almost finished. Why did you just leave? Let's pile it together. It's fun when the whole family is together. It's not fun if you are missing."

Hu Yanqiu smiled and said, "I'll go into the house and make new clothes for the child."

Gu Siwei said: "Whatever you want to do, just buy it. You are so busy with so many children, so save your energy."

Hu Yanqiu said: "Forget it. When the New Year is over, other people's children will wear homemade clothes. Our children are all bought for the whole year. Others will say that this child's mother really doesn't know how to live. , I didn’t even make any clothes for the Chinese New Year...".

Gu Siwei was quite speechless.

It’s not that Gu Siwei thinks the people who said those words are troublesome, it’s that Lao Gu knows the real situation too well. These days, when your children buy new clothes for the New Year, others will still make irresponsible remarks?

That's simply impossible. It's not too late for everyone to be envious. How can they make irresponsible remarks?

In fact, Hu Yanqiu was overflowing with maternal love. She thought that other mothers would make new clothes for their children during the Chinese New Year, but she bought them here. She felt a bit embarrassed and could not show off her qualities as a good wife and loving mother, so she thought of giving them to her children. Each of us makes new clothes for a year.

"you also have!"

Hu Yanqiu said something to Gu Siwei.

In an instant, Gu Siwei's face was filled with pain, but the pain disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared before.

"That feeling is so good."

What he said was so contrary to his will that Gu Siwei felt in his heart that he was shameless.

When it comes to doing other things, Hu Yanqiu really doesn't say that being a principal is serious and responsible, and teaching children is also meticulous, but the only thing about making clothes for children is not on Hu Yanqiu's channel at all.

But Hu Yanqiu still thinks that his craftsmanship is good. What is this like? It's like a tone-deaf person who still likes to sing. He thinks that what he sings is to the original tune. In fact, in the eyes of others, what he sings is just rewriting the lyrics and recomposing the music. It's just a new song.

"Come over and try it later. I made you a gray coat," Hu Yanqiu said.

"Thank Wife!"

Gu Siwei smiled and watched his wife enter the house.

"Second brother, I don't want to wear the new clothes my mother made. Last year's clothes were leaky and I forgot to fill them with cotton at the back, but they froze me."

Zhong Lin heard this and said: "I want to wear it. Last year's cotton pants were worn out for a few days and my legs were almost worn out. Fortunately, my grandma stopped me from wearing them."

"Brother, go and tell mom to stop making new clothes. I'm scared too."

Bo Qi said: "How can I say anything? Why don't I let dad do it?"

Seeing a bunch of boys looking at him all at once, Gu Siwei said: "Isn't it good to have new clothes to wear? Each and every one of you, if your good days don't last a few days, I'll look at you for being foreign."

With that, Gu Siwei put down the shovel in his hand: "Forgot, I have something else to do, you continue to build a snowman."

Looking at his father's back.

"What is Dad going to do again?"

Zhong Lin looked at his younger brother with contempt: "Dad didn't want to tell my mother, so he found an excuse to leave."

"Then what do we do?"

Boqi said: "Just wear it for two days, and you won't die. Wear it for one day in the first grade of junior high school. You can stay in the house that day and don't need to wear a coat. In the second grade of junior high school, I went to my grandma's house. Maybe my mother will wear it." I forgot about this."

"Brother makes sense! Hey, Qini'er, this is snow, not rice cake. Don't put it in your mouth."

The boy found that the seventh brother was grabbing a handful of snow and putting it into his mouth. He immediately came over and pulled the snow out of the seventh brother's mouth. Just like that, the seventh brother was still unhappy and stopped grunting.

When Bo Qi saw him, he reached out and picked up his younger brother, then carried his younger brother into the house.

Gu Siwei escaped. Not long after leaving the village, he returned to Zhuangzi.

"Fourth dimension, fourth dimension!"

After arriving at Zhuangzi, would Gu Siwei still lack places to go? That was definitely impossible, so as soon as he got off the boat, someone asked Gu Siwei to come into his house and squat for a while. In fact, he just went in to drink tea and eat something.

Gu Siwei was fine, so he naturally entered the house.

Everyone is living a good life this year. The income of every household is enough for food, so the Chinese New Year is naturally more generous than in previous years. For example, as soon as Gu Siwei entered the house, someone used a large enamel tray to fill it up. Melon seeds, cooked peanuts, etc. During the Chinese New Year in previous years, these were old actors, but there were no cat ears, sugar cakes, glutinous rice slivers, etc., but this year all these things also appeared on the tray.

Gu Siwei sat down, cracking melon seeds and chatting with others.

"Fourth dimension, fourth dimension, Hu Yanqiu, Hu Yanqiu...".

After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Siwei heard Guo Shengshui shouting for him outside, so he came outside curiously and responded.

"Brother Shengshui, what's the matter?"

Guo Shengshui said: "Come here, someone brought something for you. I was thinking about giving it to you tomorrow, and I happened to see your boat...".

After hearing this, Gu Siwei turned around and put the remaining melon seeds back on the tray. He told others that he was going to have a look, and followed him to Guo Shengshui's home.
