Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 130 Raising the Flag

Don't say anything, what are you talking about in this situation now, you have to stay behind in any field, let's talk about saving everyone's life.

Originally, Gu Siwei thought about taking a long way. The food in the field was roughly the same, but now it can't be the same, the rice can be the same, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes can't be the same.

If it is almost the same, people will starve to death.

Back home by boat, Gu Siwei told Si Cui what he had seen, and Si Cui was tearful. The child knew what it was like to be hungry, so he naturally agreed with Gu Siwei's decision.

Brother and sister really can't eat much, and in this era, if you have money, you really can't spend it, because if you have money, you need tickets, and money is almost useless, and the status is far below tickets.

Gu Siwei is still a small traitor, and he is going to save the crops of the villagers, but before he saves, he first tells Liu Fulin that he is going to give the grain from his own field to the village.

Given the importance of this matter, it is impossible for Liu Fulin not to tell others about it, and now the whole village must know about it within a day.

With the two pieces of land owned by Liu Fulin's family and the piece of land owned by Gu Siwei's family, the whole village cannot be said to be full, but it is entirely possible to last until the autumn harvest.

All of a sudden, Gu Siwei naturally became the hope of the whole village. After a lot of character design, his image in the village instantly became taller.

The current folks haven't developed some bad habits, and they don't think that as long as they are owned by others, everything they give them is taken for granted, so Gu Siwei's prestige in the village has been erected unknowingly.

Although this matter was a bit greedy for power and profit, Lao Gu also took out real money and did not talk empty words.

The rain was still falling, although it was a little lighter than the previous days, but it still didn't stop the continuous drizzle, and everyone who was falling couldn't lift their spirits.

It’s the time when the rain always stops. After nearly eight days, the rain finally stopped. Finally, on the afternoon of the ninth day, the long-lost sun once again shone on the earth and mountains, and the damp air touched people’s bodies. Feeling sticky, it went away with the drizzle, and the temperature jumped up all of a sudden, from the early [-]s to [-] degrees.

"It is bright!"

Sicui looked at the sun outside happily, and shouted at Gu Siwei.

"I know, I saw it." Gu Siwei smiled and set up the pergola with his hands, looking at the bright world outside, with indescribable joy in his heart.

Sicui turned around cheerfully, and said while trotting: "I have to take out my clothes to dry, after so many days of rain, if I don't dry them, my clothes will become moldy...".

Deng Deng Deng!
The little girl ran in and out, and took out all the clothes of the brother and sister in a short while.

It's not that Si Cui is strong, but that the brothers and sisters don't have a few clothes. There are four or five clothes on Si Cui's side, and one is on his body. It's even simpler for Gu Siwei. There are three clothes in total. Originally The clothes of this world have been worn out a long time ago, and now he is fully dressed, plus the cotton padded clothes that Wu Meiling helped to make, and a change of clothes, which are all of Lao Gu's clothes.

Oh, by the way, and two white vests from the store, that's all.

Sicui took the clothes out and put them directly on the shoe changing cabinet next to the shelf, then ran back to get a towel, wiped and wiped the water-stained handrail of the shelf, and found no water after touching it. Just spread all the clothes on the armrest.

"Brother, shall we still build rafts?"

Si Cui remembered the traffic problem at home, so she opened her mouth and asked her brother.

Gu Siwei put down his hand, thought for a while and replied: "Don't do it, Uncle Fulin said yesterday that everyone will do our best to build a boat for us now, and if you endure it for another seven or eight days, the boat will be built, and the raft will be built. How many days will it take?"

"Well, that's right." Si Cui nodded.

Gu Siwei felt that the little girl asked this today, is she going to do something, so he asked, "What do you need to use the raft for?"

Sicui said: "Yesterday, my sister invited me to pick wild vegetables the day after tomorrow. I really want to go. If you don't go out the day after tomorrow, I have to ask Grandpa Fulin to pick me up alone. I don't know if the grass flowers and cubes will come." Will listen to Grandpa Flynn's call."

Meihua is the name of a little girl. Meihua's surname is Luan. I really don't know what her first name is. Gu Siwei really doesn't know. I only know that her nickname is Meihua. As for why she is called this nickname, Gu Siwei suggests that anyone who is interested ask her. Damn, his old Gu doesn't have such curiosity.

As for digging wild vegetables, it is now the main job of the women in the whole village. At this time, there is no such thing as rain, and the crops are destroyed. In order to survive, they must find something to eat.

In this way, all kinds of wild vegetables and wild fruits in the mountains have naturally become the objects of attention of women.

Although Gu Siwei said that the food in his own field can be distributed to everyone and support everyone to tide over the difficulties, but now the crops are still growing in the field, and the folks are neither stupid nor lazy, who would lie at home and wait for Gu Siwei and Grain from Liu Fulin and Guo Shengshou's fields?

To put it bluntly, if another disaster occurs and the land of the three families will be wiped out, what will the whole village do? Are they really going to flee the famine collectively to beg for food?

Guan Jian is now where do you go to beg for food, where is there no shortage of food to eat?

Although the folks don’t know the idiom called “planning for a rainy day”, they still know the simplest truth, so the folks began to ask the mountains for the hope of surviving, and all those who could go up the mountain to pick things went up the mountain to pick things.

When it rains, hunting is impossible. Only after the rain stops and the roads are dry can hunting men go into the mountains. So now many men are digging wild vegetables with women and children and pulling edible stalks leaf.

In short, except for the brother and sister Gu Siwei, there are almost no idlers in the village.

Strictly speaking, among the brothers and sisters of Gu Siwei, the idler is only the elder brother. In Sicui's eyes, he can't see life. If there is any work, he will kill it, otherwise the girl seems to feel uncomfortable.

This is so cheap. Gu Siwei originally thought about how to clean the house when he built the house, but now most of the cleaning work is done by Sicui.

"What are you doing picking wild vegetables?" Gu Siwei asked.

Sicui replied: "Eat, the wild vegetables are the best at this time. Even if you can't eat them, you can make dried vegetables. In winter, take them out and soak them in water. They are very delicious. Brother, have you ever eaten dried vegetables?" Wild vegetables, right? You’ll know when I pick them up, there are many wild vegetables that are much tastier than the vegetables in our vegetable garden.”

Seeing what Sicui said was clear, Gu Siwei smiled and said: "Who said I haven't eaten wild vegetables, I have eaten shepherd's purse, and Malantou."

"Is this considered a wild vegetable?"

Sicui curled her lips. In Sicui's eyes, what kind of wild vegetables are these? What grow on the slopes in front of the house can also be considered as wild vegetables?
"Yo, isn't this considered a wild vegetable?" Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Sicui nodded and said: "Of course I can't forget it. The wild vegetables I'm talking about are hibiscus, stalks, and three cauliflowers...".

After talking about seven or eight kinds in a row, Gu Siwei has never heard of any of them. Of course, Gu Siwei may have known about them, but what Si Cui said was the native name, not the real scientific name of the wild vegetable.

"Not a lot," Gu Siwei said.

Sicui continued to say in detail: "Stir-fried cabbage is delicious. It would be even better if you can add some meat oil. It is the most delicious when you add some fried fish with Sanhuazi, and you can make dumplings with three cauliflowers."

Looking at Sicui's appearance, Gu Siwei was full of joy in his heart, and thought: Only such a person can be regarded as a child. The previous Sicui was just alive, not life.

Si Cui didn't notice her brother's expression, she was talking about wild vegetables endlessly, and sometimes she couldn't help swallowing when she got greedy.

Gu Siwei listened cheerfully, without interrupting the little girl.

At the end, Sicui felt a little embarrassed, wiped her mouth and said, "Brother, I'm so greedy, I wish I could dig it sooner."

"Why, if you want to dig, go dig, don't everyone go up the mountain every day?" Gu Siwei asked.

Sicui said: "I still have something to do."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Gu Siwei was a little stunned, and thought to himself: What's the matter, little girl?

Si Cui said: "The loofah in the vegetable garden hasn't been ordered yet. I just got the loofah seeds from my aunt Sun's house at the entrance of the village. If I don't plant them, it will be too late."

"It's too late now, what's the matter if it's later?" Gu Siwei couldn't help being happy when he heard this.

Now Gu Siwei is not the same as Gu Siwei decades later. He knows a lot of seasonal vegetables, such as loofah, where seedlings are raised in March and April, planted in April and May, and can be eaten from mid-June to late June. The first batch of new loofahs is here.

In this way, my side is at least half a month late.

Thinking of this, Gu Siwei asked: "Why didn't you plant the seedlings immediately?"

Sicui said: "Da Mao was all over the place yesterday, I didn't come in a hurry."

"How much do you want to plant?"

Gu Siwei felt strange, how much time would it take to grow a loofah, wouldn't it be over in ten minutes or so.

Sicui said: "There are quite a lot."

So Gu Siwei said: "Take me to see".

As a result, when he arrived at Zixiao's house, Gu Siwei saw a lot of loofah seedlings that Si Cui had talked about.

"You...do you have any grudges against the loofah?"

Gu Siwei looked at a hundred or so seedlings, didn't know what to say for a while, and thought: I am a good sister, we are just brothers and sisters, what are you doing with so many loofahs, plant them all, the two of us Even if you eat it every day, you can't eat it all.

"Are you going to eat loofah all summer?" Gu Siwei scratched his head with a helpless expression.

Sicui said: "Not only for eating, but the dried flesh of the old loofah can also be used for washing pots and baths. It has many uses."

"That can't be planted so many, just plant a dozen or so, and there are only two of us, not 20 people," Gu Siwei said.

Sicui said unwillingly: "But it would be a waste if so much land is not planted."

That's it!

The little girl is probably not visible, and as long as there is an open space, she wants to plant something. This is really more like a person from Shimo Village than Gu Siwei.

Can't see the land!When I see the two eyes, it turns red, and I have to go up the whole thing.

"Go ahead, by the way, have you written all the words, have you memorized all the English words?"

Following this, Gu Siwei thought of studying. This is a bit of a parent's demeanor, and everything can be turned to study.

Sicui nodded confidently: "Okay, do you want to check?"

Gu Siwei felt that there was nothing wrong with it anyway, so he might as well find fault with his sister.
