Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 104
The old lady took the photo from Gu Siwei's hand, wiped it carefully, and seemed to have a lot of affection for the person in the photo.

"This is my cousin. Last year, he worked in the countryside. He was injured and didn't survive." The old lady was a little sad.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei opened his mouth to persuade: "Your condolences, people cannot be resurrected after death, so you should be more open."

The old lady smiled when she heard the words, with an inexplicable bitterness in her smile. After a while, she put the photo on the table. The old lady continued to look at the photo, lost in thought.

"Although we are cousins, it's good to have a small relationship. Our two families are close to each other, and the relationship between mother and father is quite good... Our family was not poor before liberation. Not only was it not poor, but it was also Quite rich, in today's words not only a landlord but also a big landlord... .

My cousin has been different from other children since he was a child. He has a stubborn personality and admits death. Later, when the Japanese came, he secretly left home to join the army... Waiting for liberation. It was better a few years ago, but Since the year before last, his life has been getting worse day by day, his health was not very good during the war years, but now he was treated like this, and he passed away within a few days... ".

Having said that, the old lady started to sob directly.

Gu Siwei quickly began to comfort the old lady again. The pain of his relatives made the old man a little unbearable. This is understandable for Gu Siwei. At this time, it is not surprising that there are any demon moths, and this year is just the beginning. There are still many years to come.

Gu Siwei came here after decades of fighting, so he naturally knows how long this thing has been around, but Gu Siwei has no choice. Although he has space in his hands, he is not arrogant enough to go against history. That's not stupid, it's reckless .

When the old lady was sad, her body felt a little uncomfortable, and she began to hold her head.Seeing this, Gu Siwei immediately helped the old lady lie down on the bed in the inner room.

The old lady was very old, so as a junior, Gu Siwei had nothing to worry about, so he pulled a stool and sat on the edge of the old lady's bed.

"I'm sorry, Xiaogu, I'm a little rude when I see you thinking of my cousin."

The old lady apologized to Gu Siwei, she came here to find her son, who knew that the old lady would have to take care of her when she came to the door for the first time, which was really rude to a person like the old lady.

"Hey, what's the matter, I happen to have a chat with you here, and I feel close when I see you," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

This is just a sweet talk, it's really hard for Gu Siwei to say whether it's true or not.

The old lady knew that what Gu Siwei said was polite, but she still liked it. It seemed that not seeing Gu Siwei was like seeing her deceased cousin.

Others may think this is a bit creepy, but Gu Siwei doesn't think so. He thinks that the old lady can miss her cousin so much, which proves that the old lady is a kind person. Generally, whoever has nothing to do remembers her cousin, let alone Cousin, even if it is a real brother, there are people in the world who don't take it seriously, even if the relatives have not hurt him, for him, if he does not help him wholeheartedly, it is not worth the family affection.

Gu Siwei likes such kind and righteous people, and also likes to get along with them, because Gu Siwei really doesn't know how to get along with people who can be ruthless to others, and he doesn't know which day or what will be taken by this person. Let's talk about things, so just stay away from this kind of people and things, leave far away, and don't make trouble for yourself.

Gu Siwei chatted with the old lady for a while, and the old lady was happy, because Gu Siwei told the old lady about his hunting, not only about his own hunting, but also about the hunting stories told by the villagers. A hunting story skewered.

"This sheep will still be frightened? Why do I sound so unbelievable?"

The old lady leaned sideways, holding a piece of persimmon cake in her hand, biting it lightly and eating slowly. After hearing Gu Siwei say that the gazelle in the mountains can be frightened, she cheerfully said that this is unlikely.

Gu Siwei smiled and replied: "I also think it is impossible, but from my own experiments, at least [-]% to [-]% are sheep who are timid and frightened to death, rather than being stubborn and refusing to eat anything." .

"Then you can dissect it to see, anyway, the sheep are dead, you can dissect it to prove your theory." The old lady continued to smile, looking at Gu Siwei's kind face.

Gu Siwei said: "I'm not very good at this. It's okay for me to peel the sheep, but you said to study the internal organs of the sheep. I usually like to do mature research, so let's forget about the raw ones."

"Hahaha, why are you so ungrateful, kid?" The old lady giggled happily.

Gu Siwei knew it. This old lady really came from a rich family. Not to mention other ordinary women, let alone read and write, I'm afraid they can't even say the word anatomy.

Just as Gu Siwei was chatting lively with the old lady, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the yard.

"Mom, is someone here?"

"Gui, come in, Daorong's friend is here." As soon as the old lady heard that her daughter-in-law had returned, she straightened herself up and prepared to get out of bed.

When Gu Siwei saw it, he immediately reached out to help.

Although there are two rooms in the house, it is not that big. The woman in the yard walked into the house before the old lady got out of bed.

When she saw the old lady getting off the bed, she was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help the old lady: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little dizzy, I'm sick, come on, this is Daorong's friend, also surnamed Gu, but my ancestors came from the same place as me, maybe the two of them are really distant cousins brother……".

"Hello there!"

The woman glanced at Gu Siwei with a strange expression, then smiled politely at Gu Siwei, and then her mind fell on the old lady.

The woman is Wu Daorong's daughter-in-law. She is not tall, less than 1.6 meters tall, not fat, her face is a bit long, her appearance is average, at most she is medium, her face is full and thin, but her cheeks are thick. With short ear-length hair, she looks very capable, and she is a straightforward woman at first glance.

"Hello, Director Wu takes care of me a lot here," Gu Siwei said politely.

"Oh, sit down, I heard our family Daorong mentioned you, and I know you are a good hunter." The woman said with a smile, said something to Gu Siwei, and began to ask the old lady again, with a look of concern on her face.

"Mom, do you want to go to the infirmary to take a look?" Wu Daorong's wife asked.

The old lady said: "When I went to the infirmary, I just felt a little uncomfortable suddenly. It's nothing serious. It's an old problem. It's gone now."

"Well, if you have any discomfort, you must tell me. You can't carry it by yourself. What's the point of carrying this disease..." The woman was a little nagging, but this kind of nagging was full of warmth.

The old lady stood up, supported by the woman, and the three of them came to the courtyard again, sat down and chatted for a while, and Gu Siwei got up to leave.

If you are going to leave, you will naturally have to take out the gifts you brought.

Who knew that it would be okay not to take it out, but once it was taken out, the expressions of the old lady and the woman changed at the same time.

The old lady said: "Xiao Gu, we are very happy that you can come, but we can't take these things. If we want your things, what kind of people would we become? You and Daorong are friends, and friends should be gentlemen." At the turn of the century, it’s not good to do these things!”

"Yes, our family welcomes you to come and play, but if you want to bring these things, forget it, and I don't dare to accept them. If you take them and wait for our family Daorong to come back, maybe you will show me face?" The woman People also said.

Gu Siwei naturally wanted to keep the things, so he told Wu Daorong about buying potatoes for himself with his own money.

"It's right to help friends, but it's not good for you to do so." The old lady shook her head.

Gu Siwei used his 30-year social skills, but in the end he couldn't persuade the two people to take the things away, but it was not a waste of saliva, because in the end the old lady agreed to keep a few catties of walnuts that Gu Siwei fried himself. A dozen persimmons that Gu Siwei dried by himself.

As for the things bought in Gu Siwei's store, the old lady would not accept them at all.

There was no way, Gu Siwei had to leave Wu Daorong's house with these things, and when he went out, Gu Siwei thought it was quite interesting to recall coming to Wu Daorong's house.

I think this family is really interesting. He has never seen such a family in decades, and it is estimated that there are not many such families in this era.

As soon as Gu Siwei left, the woman asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, what are you doing today...".

The woman didn't explain it clearly, but the meaning was clearly expressed, that is, the mother-in-law never accepts anything from others. Who would have thought that today she would make an exception and accept Gu Siwei's native products. Although there are not many, the nature is a bit different.

The old lady smiled and said: "I see this child is close".

The woman smiled indifferently.

At this time, the woman glanced at the photo on the table, picked it up curiously, looked at it, and then asked her mother-in-law: "Who is this, who is this, he looks a bit like Xiao Gu just now." .

"Your cousin, forget it, just give me the photo." The old lady reached out and took the photo from her daughter-in-law.

"The uncle who used to be a high official?" The woman asked a little more.

The old lady hummed: "It's your hard-fated cousin who didn't enjoy two years of good fortune, so he let go and left your cousin and two daughters... hey".

The old lady sighed again.

"Didn't you say that my uncle had a son, and when he was about to be liberated, he was taken abroad by his uncle?" the woman said casually.

"That's right. Not long after I brought you back to my hometown, I was informed. If your old grandfather hadn't defended him and escaped overnight, he might have died at that time, and those people would have lost their minds in the end. It's just that they suffered so much. I have a child, I don't know if the child has been found after so many years, the child will probably be 20 years old if he lives up to now, and he will be [-] years old, and he will soon reach the age of being a wife..." said the old lady.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted like this.

Gu Siwei left the family area slowly, and things were done, but he couldn't rush back now, because the time was wrong, even if he came here on a mule, he would have to get home after three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to do business on the way , how many hours?
So Gu Siwei continued to wander the streets of the factory, planning to go to the restaurant again at noon, and go back to the village after eating and drinking.
