Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 162 The Disadvantages of a Good Skin
When Tao Yisheng heard what Gu Siwei said, he said indifferently: "It's not that I know it a lot, it's that there are too few in your generation. In the past, many women could dye clothes. You think every family can dye their clothes. Send the cloth woven by yourself to the dyeing house for dyeing? Doesn’t it cost money?

Wherever they can save money, they won't spend an extra penny."

As he said that, Tao Yisheng picked up the clothes, put them into the ashes he took out from the pot again, and began to knead them.

"Not yet?" Gu Siwei had finished it before.

Tao Yisheng said: "That's all right? You'll know later."

After rubbing for a while, Tao Yisheng took the clothes to the side of the ditch, and put them in the ditch for three or four times. When he was waiting to take them out again, it was an old clothes. Anyway, Gu Siwei couldn't see the original red clothes. The quilt is patched.

"It's enough to dry it out."

Tao Yisheng handed the clothes to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei took the clothes, came to the camphor tree with a smile on his face, found a bigger branch and hung the clothes on it.

When he came back, he heard Tao Yisheng ask, "What's for dinner?"

Gu Siwei asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

"Let's braise the pork, use my recipe." The old man took out a piece of paper from his arms, folded it and threw it to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei subconsciously picked it up, and then looked at the old man curiously.

Tao Yisheng said blankly: "Take it, it's not very useful in my hands."

"Then I'd like to thank you very much." Gu Siwei took the prescription with a smile, and he was not polite, opened it directly and squatted on the ground to read it.

The recipe is very simple, and there are only twelve or three seasonings in total. Most of Gu Siwei knows it, but Tao Yisheng also brings a few that he doesn't know, and it will be clear when he and Gu Siwei explain it.

Things in the evening were simple. There was a pot of braised pork and a pot of stewed bones. The three of them brought a big hair and a monkey, and the sludge was full.

In the following days, Tao Yisheng decocted medicine for Sicui every day, while Gu Siwei wondered if the braised pork could be better, and Sicui was worried about drinking medicine every day.

Within two days, the time Gu Siwei and Yang Chuanwu made an appointment to go to the town to receive relief food came, and Gu Siwei arrived at the village early in the morning.

Yang Chuanwu was not lazy, he called a few young people in the village to lead the big green mule in the village, and drove the wooden boat of Liu Fulin's family straight down the river.

At the entrance of the village, where the village committee is located, Gu Siwei realized that it was not their team that was going to the town to receive relief food, but every team in the whole village sent people over.

Everyone gathered at the barley field in the village, and suddenly the barley field was as lively as a vegetable market.

Gu Siwei didn't know anyone, so naturally no one chatted with him, but when the big guys met Gu Siwei's eyes, they would give Gu Siwei a smile.

This made Gu Siwei feel that people at this time are really humane, at least more humane than people decades later, and people you don’t know will give you a smiling face, even if they are very poor now, but the smile on their faces The smile is real, there is no fake standard smile, only joy from the heart.

Gu Siwei liked it very much, so he sat and watched others chatting, the kind of watching with a smile, and felt the feelings of the folks now with appreciation.

It is naturally a joy to receive relief food, so every team comes with strong and strong young men, of which Gu Siwei is naturally the strongest. First of all, this head compares to others.

For the first time, Gu Siwei saw the village head of Shimo Village.

I thought it was an old man, at least an old one, but Gu Siwei did not expect that the village chief was not very old. When people said that the village chief should speak a few words, Gu Siwei saw him coming up and thought someone else The children come up to make trouble.

As a result, he became the village chief.

After listening to the village chief say a few words, Gu Siwei found that the village chief was still talking, and he also liked to talk back, that is, to turn a thing upside down and keep saying it.

Gu Siwei approached Yang Chuanwu and asked in a low voice, "How did this guy become the village chief?"

Yang Chuanwu smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Gu Siwei understood what he said, so he stopped talking, put his hands on his cheeks and closed his eyes to rest.

After closing his eyes for a while, he felt that someone was coming beside him. When he opened his eyes, it turned out to be Zheng Youcai's nephew Zheng Lixin.

"Brother Siwei?"

"Brother Lixin" Gu Siwei gave way with a smile so that he could squat next to him better.

The place where Gu Siwei squatted was on the slope of the drying field trail, and the terrain was a bit high, so that he could see the village head while squatting, although Gu Siwei didn't want to see it.

"How is my uncle now? Is he in good health?" Zheng Lixin asked.

Gu Siwei nodded and said: "Very good, now I have work every day, and I can teach my apprentices if I have nothing to do."

"Oh, all right".

Zheng Lixin said something casually, seemingly absent-minded.

Gu Siwei didn't ask too much, he didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, if people wanted to say it, he said it, and if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask too much.

After squatting for a while, Zheng Lixin finally left without saying anything, smoking a self-rolling cigarette.

Yang Chuanwu waited for Zheng Lixin to leave, then whispered: "I want to ask his uncle for food, but I don't have the nerve to say so."

"Oh!"

Gu Siwei responded, and Zheng Youcai posted all the food that Zheng Youcai took from him to his nephew Zheng Lixin. This is something everyone knows, and Gu Siwei naturally knows it too.

The food was given by Gu Siwei, but it was also earned by Zheng Youcai. Who would Gu Siwei want to give it to?But he had heard what the folks said.

How could the folks not be close to their own people? They all said that in the future, Liu Dezhu would give Zheng Youcai his old age, and this food should be given to Liu Dezhu.

This shit is like something that happened on the Internet decades later. Both parties to the matter agreed to a solution, but the majority of netizens opposed it.

It's just such a stance and such a nonsense.

Yang Chuanwu said: "Siwei, otherwise, Dezhu should stop learning, and just send him back."

Let alone Yang Chuanwu, even Zheng Youcai doesn't think his craftsmanship is so good, and he may know it well, but this kind of goodness has nothing to do with money.

He didn't even see the prospect of bamboo weaving, let alone other people. Sometimes the villagers would discuss that Gu Siwei had done something stupid.

Gu Siwei naturally doesn't care what other people say, because he knows that most of these people have the general direction of society, so why would they care about their small words.

"Why don't you learn a good skill, learn it!" Gu Siwei laughed.

Just talking about this, a man who looked about thirty or forty moved over.

"Chuanwu, this is from your village, it's a little strange."

As soon as the man came over, he asked Yang Chuanwu about Gu Siwei.

Yang Chuanwu said with a smile: "Don't pretend you don't know, Gu Siwei from our village."

After the man was exposed, there was no embarrassment at all. It can be seen that he is very familiar with Yang Chuanwu: "I know, I know, but I only heard of the name before, but I didn't see this real person. Today, I saw that he was indeed a dragon and a phoenix, a good-looking person. ".

There was a humble smile on Gu Siwei's face. As for embarrassment, it didn't exist. It wasn't Gu Siwei's self-confidence, but the words of dragon and phoenix among people and outstanding talents. His ears are now cocooned.

Obviously, the folks don't know many idioms, and these eight characters are just like standard expressions for boasting. Ever since Dagu Siwei heard someone use these eight words to describe an old widower, he knew that these eight words were mostly used as The role of modal particles.

Yang Chuanwu said with a smile: "Speak if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say."

The man grinned, showing his big yellow teeth, and said to Gu Siwei, "Look over there."

Following the man's hand, Gu Siwei looked over, but saw nothing, Gu Siwei looked strange.

The man said, "Did you see that pretty girl?"

Gu Siwei wondered if his eyes were not good, let alone a beautiful girl, I didn't even see a girl.

"I didn't see it, is there a girl over there?"

Gu Siwei asked in surprise.

The man pointed with his thick finger again: "The one over there, with two big braids."

Gu Siwei wants to scold someone, now the girl has two big braids, how do you tell me to recognize the one with two big braids?
Yang Chuanwu continued at this time: "The one in the red padded jacket, and the one with a little red silk in the braid."

Gu Siwei immediately saw what Yang Chuanwu said.

After seeing it, Gu Siwei couldn't help taking a breath, and said in surprise: There are people so similar in the world?

What does this girl look like?
It's easy to describe, that is the fat Jack Ma, with two big braids.

When Gu Siwei was looking at her, the girl also looked at Gu Siwei, with a big grin and yellow teeth.

This thing can hook up with beauty in a man's mouth, and Gu Siwei especially wants to knock his head open to see what kind of brain circuit is so strange.

"That's my daughter!"

Oh, Gu Siwei thought in his heart: That's easy to explain, it's not a problem of brain circuits, it's a problem of blood relationship.

"Oh!"

Gu Siwei replied that he really couldn't unconscionably praise this girl for being good-looking. If he could get a little bit of a good-looking girl, Gu Siwei wouldn't be like this, but it's really good not to be next to each other.

"How about being your daughter-in-law?"

Snapped!
Gu Siwei sat down on the ground directly, thinking: Don't bring such a scary one!

Don't say that I look like this now, even if I look like that in a few decades, I wouldn't be looking for your daughter, right?
"It's not easy to marry a daughter-in-law in our mountains, but you can find my daughter...".

"Okay, don't dream about it, your family can't get a talent like Siwei, let your girl think less about it." Yang Chuanwu couldn't stand it.

"The guy hasn't said anything yet."

Gu Siwei thinks why some people are so confident. If he wants to have this confidence, he will have to divorce at least three times in a few decades.

"inappropriate"

Gu Siwei is very straightforward, directly closing the door to any possibility.

When the man heard this, his face turned cold immediately, he snorted and walked away.

puff!

Yang Chuanwu couldn't help laughing.

"What's so funny?" Gu Siwei was very melancholy, experiencing the disadvantages of a good skin for the first time.

"It's okay, it's okay, okay, this chatter is over, let's go to the town."

Speaking of Yang Chuanwu pulled Gu Siwei up.
