Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Although Gu Siwei said that grass flowers and cubes do not hurt people, Wu Meiling still did not have the courage to get close to them. She looked at them curiously for a while and then propped her raft up to the shore.

These two families have a lot of hands and have relatives in the village, so the small valley is well taken care of. At least there is a small dock at the entrance of the valley. Although it is made of wood, it is still decent. At least it can tie a boat or something. No problem at all.

Not to mention, as soon as this small pier was built, it suddenly became a bit smoky.

After tying up his own raft, Wu Meiling said to Gu Siwei: "Brother Siwei, come and sit at home?"

"I'm not going, I have to go back. I'm going to take Sicui to my new home today," Gu Siwei said.

Wu Meiling also heard about Gu Siwei's new home, but during this period, everyone in the village was busy kicking their heels and hitting the back of their heads, and no one thought about Gu Siwei.

If you don't get busy at this time and take care of the fields, when the harvest comes, you won't be able to cry in a good tone even if you want to cry. No one will have free time to take care of Gu Siwei's move.

Also, there are some people in the village who don't like Gu Siwei very much. As for which group of people they are, they are naturally the ones who fought last time.

Fortunately, Gu Siwei doesn't care about these people. Fortunately, although you can't stand me and I can't stand you, we still maintain the way of getting along with each other.

"Moving, it's going to be lively. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where are you moving to? Is it far from our place? Why have I never heard you talk about it? Isn't it comfortable to live in the village? Yes, in the village There are too many things to do, and some people are not good at it..." Wu Meiling perked up upon hearing this.

Gu Siwei said: "It's not far, it only takes about ten minutes to go down the river."

"That's not close." Wu Meiling calculated in her mind.

Now she doesn't say she uses the raft every day, but she still goes out every two or three days. Naturally, she knows the speed of the river, and she also knows how much distance it takes to go down the river in about ten minutes.

But she said that, but in her heart she wasn't very surprised that Gu Siwei lived in the mountains. The more she got along with Gu Siwei, the more she felt that Gu Siwei was special. He was not very gregarious, let's say he was not gregarious, but he was also Can get along well with many people.

In short, maybe this is what her husband Guo Shengshou and Liu Fulin said privately: This is a strange person.

"It's not too far. Sister-in-law, you should be busy. I have to go back to the village to pick up Sicui." Gu Siwei said and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, I've made the clothes you made last time. I'll bring them to you later."

Seeing that Gu Siwei was about to leave, Wu Meiling remembered that Gu Siwei brought some pieces of cloth over last time and asked her to help make some summer clothes. She has been busy these days, so she also took them with her to make them, and has been putting off doing them until now. good.

"Wait until I come back to get it. It's not easy to get it now. You can't put it on the raft." Gu Siwei thought for a moment and said.

After hearing this, Wu Meiling said again: "It's okay, I'll get you a basket. It just so happens that a box that Uncle Zheng made for you has also been completed, so I can bring it to you together."

"What, Mr. Zheng is here? What is he doing here?" Gu Siwei was a little confused. He didn't know why Mr. Zheng came here.

Wu Meiling explained: "Isn't Uncle Zheng Dezhu's master? Uncle Fulin thinks that since Uncle Zheng has no children, it is better to move here to live alone so that we can all be companions, so that Dezhu can take care of the master." ...".

Gu Siwei listened with his eyes wide open for a long time, but did not turn around. He thought that coming to Old Man Zheng to teach Dezhu the craftsmanship was part of exchanging grain for bamboo weaving. He really did not expect that when this teacher paid homage to him, he would be Liu Fulin. He took it seriously and actually considered it for Zheng Datou.

"Don't Old Man Zheng have a nephew?" Gu Siwei asked after a while.

Wu Meiling seemed to think this was a matter of course, and opened her mouth and said: "How can my nephew take good care of me? He is across the house. Besides, with the small land of their three teams, my family can hardly support themselves. How can I take care of my uncle?" Still uncle."

Gu Siwei also wanted to say that his nephew took good care of him, at least... well, he didn't make the old man hungry. But after thinking about it, I decided not to say it, because this matter had nothing to do with him, Gu Siwei. Liu Fulin was happy with it, and it had nothing to do with him.

Besides, it is not too much to think that the apprentice takes care of the master. The master teaches the apprentice how to eat, and the apprentice supports the master in his old age. It is not a shocking thing.

"Oh, that boy Dezhu needs to learn his skills, otherwise there will be two old men in the family," Gu Siwei said.

"With one more person in the family, life has become easier. It used to take them two or three hours just to water the ground, but now it only takes less than two hours..."

Speaking of population, Wu Meiling began to talk about the benefits of having one more old man Zheng.

Gu Siwei really understands this. Not to mention anything else, his family's twenty or so acres of land are now planted with some vegetables next to the house, and the rest of the land is empty.

When it comes to farming, Gu Siwei is a little confused. He knows how to farm in space, but he really doesn't know how to farm this land in reality.

"Look, I went off topic while I was talking. I'll get it for you right now. You... come on up. What are you doing standing on the raft? We're at the door of the house. Let's go inside and drink water. Otherwise, the head of our family will It’s time to talk about me,” Wu Meiling said.

Gu Siwei smiled after hearing this, finally leaned the raft on the wooden pier and jumped onto the pier.

Following Wu Meiling, I walked into the valley. As soon as I entered, I was shocked by the sight that I didn't see, because the valley looked completely different at this moment. The land that was originally gray was now full of green. Although the rice seedlings are not yet tall, the way they are growing makes people like Gu Siwei who don't know how to farm feel happy when they see them.

"This... why are they all planted?" Gu Siwei asked in shock.

Wu Meiling said with a smile: "If you don't plant it at this time, why will you plant it? I originally wanted to plant wheat, but I can't keep up with the time. It's better to plant a crop of rice first, and then a crop of wheat. The soil in the corners is shallow. You can also grow some potatoes or something...".

Gu Siwei couldn't help but nod after hearing this. In fact, nodding was a blind nod. He didn't know how much sweat Guo Shengshou and Liu Fulin had put in.

Let's put it this way, in order to open up this land, these people almost lost half their lives on this land. If there were no relatives in the family, it would not be possible for the two families to clear out the land so quickly, let alone Water was diverted to the fields.

The crops in the fields surprised Gu Siwei, but the houses of the two families really didn't interest Gu Siwei, because the house was not built according to the standards of a house at all, but to the standards of a shack, and you had to bend to get in. As for Siwei's waist, he couldn't straighten up even in the room.

So Gu Siwei pulled up a bench in the yard and sat down, drank a bowl of water, and waited for Wu Meiling to come in and take out the things.

"See if it fits. I tried Sicui's this morning..."

After taking out the clothes, Wu Meiling asked Gu Siwei to try it on. Gu Siwei was not polite and put the clothes on and found it suitable, so he nodded and praised Wu Meiling's craftsmanship.

Hearing Gu Siwei's praise, Wu Meiling's eyes almost turned into lines with laughter.

"This is……".

Gu Siwei found two pairs of shoes next to his clothes. Shoes with thousand-layer soles were what people would call old cloth shoes a few decades later, and some were also called old monk shoes.

"The remaining cloth was used to make two pairs of shoes for you and Sicui. These were not made by me, but by my mother. I..."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "Sister-in-law, I feel sorry for troubling you. Why are you bothering my aunt? You see what happened. I also used the remaining cloth to make clothes for the child."

"Brother Siwei, please stop being polite to us. If you want to calculate it like this, how many pieces of clothing is this place worth? The boss and I don't have any other skills. If you don't mind if you can help you mend things, we will be very happy. ”.

Wu Meiling is a person who knows how to be grateful. She also understands that Gu Siwei lacks nothing, including this little piece of cloth. However, after discussing it with her husband, she felt that it was unacceptable. If she extended her hand to others, she would forget her own true nature. If you do something wrong, you will have thoughts that you shouldn't have. In this case, it is better to live your own life with your duty.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei also understood what Wu Meiling and his wife meant. After knowing this, he did not think that these two people were stupid, but felt that he had really not helped the wrong person. Only when people have a sense of proportion can they get along with each other for a long time. , always trying to take advantage of others will definitely not last long.

"Okay, I won't say any more words of thanks," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"You shouldn't say thank you. Thank you."

While smiling, she stretched out her hand to wipe the clothes fold on Gu Siwei's shoulder. Wu Meiling smiled sincerely and enthusiastically.

At this time, Guo Shengshou's voice came from far away.

"Brother Siwei is here. Don't leave tonight. Let's have a drink together and call Uncle Fulin. You are really here. Your sister-in-law just came back with a bottle of good wine from home. It's a long song. , bottled!".

"Thank you, but I really have something to do today. Let's wait for another day. I will definitely come another day. I will bring a few pheasants with me then. Let's fry some chicken and stew a pot of wild boar meat. This will be delicious with some wine. ".

Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Guo Shengshou and Gu Siwei had been together for a long time, and he knew that this person hated unnecessary politeness the most, so he laughed and said: "Okay, it's up to you, but don't delay for too long, otherwise you won't know who will come to the house. This wine is gone.”

At this time, let alone loose wine, people in the village usually drink home-brewed sour wine. Even this wine is not something you can afford to drink often, because it requires food, and you won’t be able to eat enough. There is grain to make wine.

The reason why Wu Meiling brought this wine from her parents' house was actually to treat Gu Siwei to a drink as a token of her gratitude. When the couple saw their fields now, they felt that Gu Siwei was their benefactor. This was a huge favor.

Gu Siwei really doesn't have time today. He still has to pick up Sicui. He doesn't like the atmosphere in the village now. If he wants to have a good meal, he has to move to Yinsongya in secret if he wants to have a good meal. , eat whatever you want, take a big bowl, half a bowl of meat and half a bowl of rice, sit at the door and cook it, no one will care about you.

This is called life!

Eating a bowl of rice is like being a thief, what kind of life is this?
