Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 126
Waking up in the morning, Gu Siwei was in a good mood and made a pot of hand-rolled noodles.

When he was at home again when he had time, it was impossible for Gu Siwei to deal with it as he did in Qiao Yi's dormitory, so he did a pretty good job rolling the noodles.

The noodles are hand-rolled, this is not nonsense, Gu Siwei really worked hard, added eggs to the noodles, and added some spinach juice, so that the sliced ​​noodles are green.

The toppings are also freshly made. The stir-fried pork is mixed with wild mutton, and the meat grains are almost the size of mung beans. When it reaches the mouth, it not only has a strong meaty taste, but also has a chewy head. As for the diced potatoes, there is also Not to mention dried tofu.

The noodles come out of the pot, two bowls and one pot, plus a small food bowl.

The two bowls belonged to Gu Siwei and Sicui. The brothers and sisters had the same sea bowls, each of which could hold two sides. The big blue and white bowls with an open mouth were just right for serving noodles.

Put the four sides into the bowl, and you can only cover the bowl, then pour two full spoons of saozi, pour the soup stew, stir with the chopsticks, the fragrance has green noodles, and the saliva can drip on the table. .

The basin is big hairy.

Da Mao is not picky about eaters, which is good. He can eat what he gives, and what he eats tastes good. Seeing Da Mao eat may really cure anorexia.

The small basin is naturally made of clay, and the puppy is still small, so there are only a few noodles in the basin.

In fact, it’s not that there is less oily mud to eat, but that Gu Siwei’s noodles are cooked less. People save it for dogs to eat. A cold steamed bun. Soaking cold steamed buns in marinade is not considered dog abuse. To put it bluntly, there is probably no one in Shimo Village who eats it this morning.

suck!suck!
The room was filled with the sound of sucking instant noodles and barking.

Gu Siwei is the brother and sister who suck the noodles, and Da Mao is the one who eats the noodles, and the voice of the mouth is very loud.

The quietest thing to eat is oily sludge.

Si Cui's mouth was full of greasy flowers, and she looked up to tell her brother that the noodles were really delicious, only to find that her brother was in a daze.

At this moment, Gu Siwei looked out the window.

The sky was already bright, and the rain outside was much lighter. The rain was not heavy, and it already had the charm of a drizzle. At this moment, there was a breeze again.

So there is a different view outside the window.

Small raindrops hit the window, and there was a slight click sound, as if someone was tapping the edge of a drum lightly, crisp and sweet.The old camphor tree outside the window is now blowing by the breeze, gently swaying its branches and leaves, just like dancing its long hair lightly in the wind.

A little further away is the green rice field, and a little further than the rice field is the hills surrounding the Hulu Valley, and a little further away is a bit hazy, it is the surrounding mountains.

The drizzle is like smoke, which directly blurs the mountains behind. From a distance, it looks like the mountains stand between the mist and water, like a fairyland and like a dream, making Gu Siwei straight in his heart: This is what I imagined Home!
"Brother, what are you looking at? Why don't you eat noodles? Isn't it delicious? I think it's delicious."

Si Cui blinked, looked at Gu Siwei, and then at the noodles in her bowl that had almost bottomed out.I don't understand why my brother's eyes are looking out of the window while the noodles are picked up on the chopsticks.

At first, she thought there was something good to see, but Sicui looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything worth seeing, so she didn't quite understand why she was so dazed when she was eating.

Gu Siwei came back to his senses and saw Sicui's expression of incomprehension, so he smiled and said, "I'm enjoying the rain."

"What appreciating the rain? Do you want to give money to the rain?" Si Cui was even more confused.

Hahaha

Gu Siwei was amused by his sister: "The reward I'm talking about is appreciation, not rain money, you are full of money."

Sicui was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and scratched her forehead, but she soon lost her understanding.

"Brother, what's so good about the rain? I really don't see how this rain is different from ordinary rain."

"Scenery, look at the breeze and rain, the shadows of the trees, what a wonderful picture." Gu Siwei explained to his sister with a sigh.

Si Cui looked out of the window again, her little face was full of incomprehension.

So she looked back at her brother and asked: "This rain is not as beautiful as you said, in my opinion, this rain is not only ugly, but also very bad.

Because it keeps falling, the crops in the field will be flooded, and if it falls for a few more days, no one in the village will be able to laugh, and everyone’s hard work for a year will be thrown into the river.”

While talking, Si Cui showed a worried expression on her face. It could be seen that the little girl was very worried about the rain, worried about her own field and the fields of the villagers, because the rain reduced the harvest, and it might even be grains. No income.

When Gu Siwei heard what Si Cui said, he suddenly felt that he really didn't eat minced meat.

I only know how to appreciate the rain scene, but I don't know how many farmers' lives can be destroyed by such a rain scene, and how many people want to cry without tears.

When I think of this, when I look out of the window again, I feel that the beauty of the rain has disappeared in half.

"You're right, my brother is full of food and doesn't know the suffering of the farm family," Gu Siwei said to Si Cui seriously.

Si Cui quickly waved her hand: "No, brother is right, I'm just worried about the land at home."

Si Cui didn't know what to say for a while, in her heart, her brother was always right, he couldn't be wrong, if he was wrong, it would be someone else.

Gu Siwei is good at this point, it is easy to admit mistakes, and it is another matter to correct or not, but it is really fast to admit mistakes.

After a pause, he said with a smile: "It's okay. It's normal for people to make mistakes. It's not just human beings who don't make mistakes. Brother knows that he made a mistake. After dinner, let's go to the field to see if there is still water left. No, let's go to see the old uncle, if there is no problem there, how about we go to the village to see?"

"Ok!"

Si Cui nodded happily.

Gu Siwei lowered his head and ate the noodles quickly, and half a bowl of noodles was dragged into his stomach within 5 minutes.

Patting his belly, Gu Siwei said to Sicui who was packing up the dishes: "Okay."

Gu Siwei cooks, and Sicui is responsible for collecting and washing dishes. Gu Siwei does not think that Sicui can't do it. In fact, Sicui is not only capable but also very good at doing it.

Waiting for Sicui to finish washing the dishes, the brother and sister put on new coir raincoats and went to Liu Fulin's place.

Arriving in the valley of Liu Fulin's two families, Gu Siwei found that there was no one in the house. He glanced at the field and found that there was still no one there. flooded.

"Where did these two go?"

Gu Siwei was a little curious.

Si Cui, who was holding Gu Siwei's hand next to him, thought for a while and said, "I must have gone to the village to help."

Gu Siwei thought it was the same when he heard it, so the brother and sister went straight down the river again.

When I arrived in the village, I found that almost everyone who could work as a laborer was standing in the field, including many children who were older than Sicui.

Many of the fields on both sides of the village are similar to terraced fields, and the fields are reinforced with mud and stones, but this kind of embankment cannot withstand blisters.

Not to mention ten and a half months, even if soaked for two days, this kind of mud embankment will collapse.

Although it has not been two days now, how far is it from two days, so early this morning, all the villagers went to their fields as long as they were able to move, and drained as much water as possible from the fields. Don't let the water stay in the field for a while.

Now, for the villagers in the sixth group, one is to protect the embankment, which is to preserve everyone’s fields, and the other is to preserve grain, so that the next life can be lived steadily. If there is no harvest this season, Then I really have to take the whole family out to beg for food.

At this time, no one greeted Gu Siwei, everyone's face was full of worry, and from time to time some old people looked up at the still gray sky above their heads.

As far as everyone's experience is concerned, this rain will last for at least two or three days.

In another two or three days, no one dares to say that their own fields will not collapse, and if their own fields collapse, then other people's fields below will naturally collapse.

At this time, everyone is a loss, a survival together, a grasshopper tied to a rope, who can't run away and can't break anyone.

At this moment, Gu Siwei was no longer interested in chatting with others, so he directly took the shovel from a child who was not as tall as the shovel, and began to turn over.

Everyone can't care about anyone at the moment, they just know how to work with their heads down.

Luan Jiandong, who hadn't paid attention all the time, didn't raise his head, and yelled directly at Gu Siwei: "You can't hurry up, dawdling... My god, Siwei, I really didn't mean you, I thought it was my family son."

Luan Jiangu, a disciple of Luan Jiandong.

He is only 13 years old this year, and he is the boy who was just robbed of the shovel by Gu Siwei. After being robbed of the shovel, this kid was not idle standing in the field holding a basin and scooping the water out of the field, and he was working very hard , Such a young child also knows that as long as he works harder, there will be more hope of keeping this field.

"My job is not very good, how about finding a job that suits me?" Gu Siwei didn't care, and he didn't have time to mind this at this time.

From standing here, Gu Siwei can see the sense of tension from everyone, as well as the silence of imminent disaster. Often, if a child makes a mistake, he will be scolded by adults as a punching bag A few words, the children will not reply, just continue to do the work in hand while wiping their tears.

This kind of scene of the whole family working hard to survive is very touching to Gu Siwei, and at the moment Liu Fulin, Liu Dezhu and Guo Shengshou in the crowd are also working hard, even if the working place is not their own land.

This atmosphere infected Gu Siwei.

Luan Jiandong immediately said: "Really, you did a good job, but I was in a bad mood and wanted to scold my brother."

"I knew you wanted to scold me!" Luan Jiangu replied loudly.

In normal times, this sentence would definitely win the laughter of many people, but at this moment, nothing can attract laughter. Even Luan Jiandong's apology to Gu Siwei is full of deep worry.

"Go to work!"

Gu Siwei bowed his head and worked.

Luan Jiandong bowed his head and worked as if he stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the whole field has always been like this. From morning to night, almost everyone only ate two meals, very simple steamed sweet potatoes, two per person, no more, no less, no one divided the size, it was just mechanical Eating too much, working mechanically, is so depressing that it makes people's hearts chill.
