Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 148 Canned Bottles as Gifts

"Si Cui, are you still leaving?"

Gu Siwei stood on Tianlong Road and asked loudly at Si Cui.

"I'm coming!"

Sicui led trot, followed by a year of clinking.

Gu Siwei was amused by his sister's appearance: "What are you doing? Selling cans and bottles?"

Now there are more than a dozen cans hanging on the girl, each one is washed clean, each one is covered with a lid, and a cotton rope is tied around the neck of the cans, and then strung together.

Now these cans are hanging neatly around the little girl's neck, as if performing acrobatics.

Seeing her brother laughing at herself, Sicui stretched out his hand and nodded and said, "This is for Sanya, this is for Sister Hua, this is for Sister Huaye, this is for Second Brother Yong...".

"Okay, okay, it's because you thought of so many people, so you gave them cans and bottles, didn't they say you were stingy?" Gu Siwei joked.

Sicui said: "They can't find it."

After finishing speaking, Si Cui asked Gu Siwei again: "Brother, where did you find so many bottles?"

Gu Siwei smiled and walked in front of his head, and joked at his sister while walking: "Why, these are not enough, are you going to pick up cans and bottles with me?"

"Well, if it's easy to pick up, I want to pick it up." Si Cui really took it seriously.

Gu Siwei had no choice but to say: "It's not that easy, it's not that people eat canned food every day, I let them keep these."

"Is it your fake cousin?"

Si Cui was so clever that he guessed who Gu Siwei was going to pretend to be at once.

"Who else is there besides him, that is, there will be cans and bottles in his place?" Gu Siwei said.

Sicui nodded: "They can afford it, but ordinary people can't afford it."

Now canned food is really not affordable for ordinary people. Even if it is canned fruit that almost no one cares about in supermarkets decades later, there are still a few who are willing to buy it. After processing, there is no cheap one, and there is no free ticket.

Canned food belongs to deep processing, and you need money and a ticket. At this time, when you go to the hospital to see a patient, it is a good thing to carry two bottles of canned food. If you carry two cans of canned lunch meat, it may be asking someone to do something. It's a matter of slipping away, and the trivial things are useless.

"Do you want to eat?" Gu Siwei felt a little regretful, he would have known not to feed all the canned food to the family's livestock.

But after thinking about it, there is nothing to regret. Such a high sugar content is not good for the child's development. Besides, with Sicui by her side, are you afraid of not getting enough nutrition?If you have enough nutrition and then consume so much sugar, you will either damage your teeth or give way to diabetes. There is nothing to regret.

Si Cui shook her head.

Gu Siwei knew that the child wanted to eat, but he didn't say anything, because he was afraid that he would buy it and spend money by himself.

"These are not good things. Wait for two days. When I come back from the factory in two days, I will bring you some half-canned luncheon meat. That thing... well, it is still edible. If there is canned hairtail, I will give it to you Bring some canned hairtail, it’s nothing to eat, and it’s also good if there’s canned braised pork.”

Listening to Gu Siwei mentioning so many kinds of canned food, Sicui widened his eyes in surprise: "Brother, have you seen so many kinds of canned food?"

"What's strange, I told you to study hard, and if you have the ability in seven or eight years, brother will let you go to university comfortably," Gu Siwei said.

Si Cui thought for a while: "Is college so fun?"

"University is not fun. University is my grievance. I really want to go, but unfortunately I can't go when I want to go. You must study hard. Do you know if you go to university?" Gu Siwei laughed.

When I was in school, I didn't like studying. After being beaten countless times by the society, Gu Siwei realized how much time I had wasted before. Fortunately, I learned from the pain in the end. , and those who screwed with him in the factory are still in the factory assembly line in their 30s, or they are on the construction site.

"Then I must study hard and go to college!" Si Cui nodded

"it is good!"

Gu Siwei praised the girl.

The two brothers and sisters came to the pier just like that, boarded the boat and put them all the way to Liuguoxia. The idlers in the village gave them names. Gu Siwei started calling them that way after hearing it the day before yesterday. role.

At the pier where the boat was parked, Gu Siwei saw that Liu Dezhu was on the riverside, pushing the cut moso bamboo into the river with his bare feet. This is a process of bamboo weaving. Bian paid special attention to this process. As an apprentice, Liu Dezhu must do this kind of work.

"Pillar of Virtue"

Gu Siwei stood on the pier and greeted Liu Dezhu.

Straightening up, Liu Dezhu called out: "Brother Siwei, sister Sicui".

"Is your grandfather going to the village today?" Gu Siwei asked.

"Don't go, I haven't heard of it, you go out and ask, they are weeding in the field," Liu Dezhu replied.

"Sister Si Cui, what is hanging around your neck?"

Liu Dezhu really doesn’t want to notice it, but it’s impossible not to notice it. The string of glass bottles around his neck, if he can’t see it, it’s because his eyesight is bad. Liu Dezhu is a half-year-old illiterate, how could his eyes be damaged by reading? Also belong to the kind of thief.

"The canned bottle, my brother brought it back from someone's cafeteria, and I want to send someone to fill it with water. Brother De Zhu, do you want one?" Si Cui asked loudly.

"I want one, I want more, if I don't have enough points, I'll forget it."

"Enough" Sicui walked over happily, untied a canned bottle from her neck and gave it to Liu Dezhu.

"It's really good." Liu Dezhu unscrewed the lid of the can directly, scooped up a can of river water, and poured it into his mouth.

Gu Siwei kept yelling and yelling, this silly boy had already drunk half of the can.

"You can't drink this water until it's boiled," Gu Siwei said.

"It's okay, I've been drinking like this and I haven't seen anything wrong." Liu Dezhu didn't care at all.

At this time, it's not just Liu Dezhu, but no one in the village cares about it except Gu Siwei's family. If ordinary people do this, the villagers will definitely say small things behind their backs, but put it on Gu Siwei , everyone is not surprised.

Literate and educated people must have more problems, and everyone understands it.

Without identifying it with him, Gu Siwei went straight into the valley.

Standing at the head of Tian Geng, I saw two families with Zheng Youcai busy in Tian Geng.

"Uncle, brother Shengshou, sister-in-law Meiling, did any of you go to the village today?"

Hearing Gu Siwei's voice, everyone raised their heads.

"I'm not going, the grass hasn't been removed yet," Liu Fulin said.

Guo Shengshou said: "We won't go either. The work in the field hasn't been finished yet. What are we going to do in the village now?"

"Are you going to see the boat?"

Liu Fulin guessed it.

Gu Siwei nodded: "Well, I'll go and see the boat."

"Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. A ship is enough for everyone to use evenly. Isn't it good now? You don't need to rush to see it. It's not a big deal if it's two days sooner or later," Guo Shengshou said.

Gu Siwei nodded with a smile: "Well, that's true, but it's still a bit inconvenient. That's fine, you guys are chatting, I'll pass."

"Oh, Siwei, I forgot to tell you something. Chuanwu let you have time to go there and said that I want to talk to you." Liu Fulin remembered that when he met Yang Chuanwu last time, Yang Chuanwu asked him to pass a message .

"I see, I'll go find him later." Gu Siwei nodded.

Back at the pier, Gu Siwei took Sicui to the village.

After flowing smoothly to the village, Gu Siwei dropped the anchor and pulled Sicui ashore.

As soon as she landed, Sicui went to find her little friend and shared her cans, while Gu Siwei went straight to her own boat.

Now the boat has been put on some caulking agent, but it is not on the hull, but on the two compartments at the front and back of the bow. When you stand to the side, you will immediately smell a strong smell of tung oil.

There was no one around the boat, and it was daytime, so people like Guo Xiangping must be busy in their fields.

Liu Fulin's family is busy weeding, and the villagers are busy preparing for the upcoming harvest. Gu Siwei's side has been watered too much, and this guy's seedlings are growing like crazy. It has been less than 20 days since the end of the rain. The normal crops have not yet been harvested, and the crops in the village have begun to turn yellow. Seeing that the wheat, sorghum, corn, and sweet potatoes are about to grow, the villagers dare not slack off now.

Some families slept right next to the field stalks, and not just one or two families, almost every family sent someone to watch the fields, for fear that the crops would be harmed by wild animals at this time.

"Brother Siwei, come to see the boat again. You don't have to come and see it often. This thing is not strong if it is not thoroughly dried. The more it is exposed to the sun, the longer it will last."

Seeing Gu Siwei, a busy person on the other side immediately started to argue with Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei smiled and waved at him.

After a while, Gu Siwei thought about crossing the river to chat with Guo Xiangping and the others.Just as he was about to cross the river, he suddenly heard some villagers shouting in his loud voice.

"Someone is here, Siwei, brother Siwei, your apprentice is here, and that girl...".

After hearing this, Gu Siwei looked towards the hill at the entrance of the village, and sure enough, two small ideas appeared on the hill, two bicycles, these must not be from the village, the villagers have no expensive bicycles except for two legs and mules.

The people who came were indeed Qiao Yitong and Hu Yanqiu, but they were not two, but three. Hu Yanqiu also brought her younger brother Hu Yanping, but the little guy was sitting in Qiao Yitong's car, but his sister's.

"master!"

Qiao Yitong greeted Gu Siwei immediately when he saw Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei asked, "Why are you here?"

Hu Yanqiu got off the bicycle with a smile, and there was still a bag of peach cakes hanging on the handlebar of her bicycle.

"Why can't we come?" Hu Yanqiu gave Gu Siwei a gentle look.

"I didn't say I couldn't, isn't it a surprise to see you?" Gu Siwei laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go to the old house first."

As he spoke, he led the three of them towards the courtyard of the old house.
