Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 185 Good food
Oh-he-he!

Gu Siwei held a small wooden stick in his hand, and ran back and forth on the road, rushing to drive a few piglets, but his driving skills were really not very good, and he drove a few piglets by himself. It looked a little helpless.

It was just dawn in the village, and it was estimated that the time was around six o'clock. The white fish belly had already appeared in the east. According to the color and brightness, it was obviously another sunny day today.

Gu Siwei didn't just arrive at the entrance of the village. In fact, he arrived at the eastern hilltop last night. It's just that this kid, Logan, planned to enter the village at night and go home. Who knew that when he stayed in the space, he missed the time to go home when he was busy with work. .

But it's a mistake, at least it can explain how the piggy came back.

Entering the village, Gu Siwei saw Uncle Luan's house in the east. The old man and the old lady were busy moving the food out of the house. It was obvious that they were preparing to dry this year's new food.

"Siwei, are you here to work as a factory again? Where did you get this little pig? How come there are still people selling this thing?"

The old lady looked envious when she saw the piglet chasing in Gu Siwei's eyes. In her heart, she really wanted to raise one for herself, but now her family doesn't have the strength. Even if there is a place to buy a piglet , their family can't afford it, besides, people will be able to eat a little food, where can they get food to feed pigs.

So I can only look at the little pig that Gu Siwei is driving, drooling in my heart.

Gu Siwei understood when he saw the old lady's eyes, but Gu Siwei would not give it away for nothing. Although he could afford it, he still couldn't do it. Conflict must be stirred up.

"Where can I buy this? Besides the commune, there are no pigs nearby. I asked someone to buy it from the factory," Gu Siwei said.

The old lady asked again: "Don't you have wild boars in your family? Why do you keep them?"

Gu Siwei didn't know what the old lady meant, but this kid was never short-sighted. He opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Those little wild boars are kept in the factory to entertain guests. Where did these little pigs come from without them?"

The old man didn't think too much about it. He had a vision of his family's life right in front of him. Now that the whole family had enough to eat, he didn't think about anything else. As for raising pigs for meat, how could the old man dare to think about it?

"Are you drying food?"

Gu Siwei asked, the work at hand didn't stop, and I don't know how these little piggies are so happy, they wanted to leave the team and fly solo without paying attention, which made Gu Siwei flustered.

The old man looked at it and said with a smile: "You chased pigs. People didn't know how many pigs you drove. If you dared to let pigs go to the landlord's house, your legs would be broken."

"For the first time, let's just make do with it, I don't have any requirements, just get home safely," Gu Siwei said cheerfully.

The old man really couldn't stand it anymore, he walked over and took the twig from Gu Siwei's hand and said to Gu Siwei: "The pig should be chased like this!"

Gu Siwei watched the twig waved a few times in the old man's hand. The ordinary twig seemed to suddenly become a magic wand in the old man's hand, and the noisy little piggies suddenly became honest. Follow the old man's stick and run forward happily.

"God!"

Gu Siwei praised.

The old man smiled and said: "What's the matter, if you leave it for a long time, you will be fine. You have to figure out the habits of pigs, how can you drive them so hard, especially this kind of little pigs, they were not there before. The side of the sow is nervous, and you are still swinging the stick and shouting non-stop, so it makes them more nervous, people know how to run when they are nervous, let alone these little pigs.”

"You're right, I won't let it go, I haven't let it go." Gu Siwei nodded happily and admitted that he would not let the pig go.

At this time, the old lady got out of the idea of ​​raising pigs. Hearing this, she said to her old man: "You know how to herd pigs, but do you have the ability to raise pigs? Is it a skill to raise pigs?"

"I don't have the ability to farm the land?" The old man replied to his wife with a smile.

The old man was not angry at all. He and the old lady had been arguing like this for almost all their lives, and it was considered good now. In the past, they would often fight.

"Yes, yes, look at the whole village, there is no one who knows how to farm, except Siwei, but Siwei is also young, and at your age, it will definitely be better than yours."

"Thank you for thinking of me so much," Gu Siwei said happily.

"Okay, Uncle Luan, give me the branch, I'll just drive back by myself, you guys are busy with you." Gu Siwei was about to take the branch and drive it away by himself.

The old man Luan refused to say anything, pushed Gu Siwei away and said: "You are exhausted from rushing, I look tired, let me help you get to the boat, and save you from wasting with them here , ran all night, went home and had an early rest.”

Gu Siwei naturally refused to let him go, but the old couple were too enthusiastic and went to the battle to persuade them. In the end, Gu Siwei had to let the old man help him take the piglet to his home. Oh, it is no longer his home, but Sun Qiumei and his wife yard.

Go to the boat tied at the gate of the yard.

All the way to the side of the boat smoothly, Gu Siwei threw all the piglets into the cabin, covered the front deck like this, and pressed down with the anchor like this, these little things couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

The old man ran away after catching up, and Gu Siwei was going to send something here, who knew that the old man was already ten meters away when he turned his head.

"Uncle Luan, come back."

"I'm going home to dry the food, you should go home early."

The old man naturally knows what Gu Siwei is going to do. This is Gu Siwei's old habit. There is no one in the village who doesn't know. If you help Gu Siwei, the fastidious Gu Siwei will definitely give you something.

But old man Luan felt that he shouldn’t take it, not to mention anything else, it’s like last year to the beginning of spring this year, if Gu Siwei hadn’t been hunting for the team, someone in their family might not be able to survive this winter, especially when they were just one year old. The little grandson who arrived, now he wants someone else's things for a little help, and the old man has a conscience.

Although some people don't say anything, they still remember Gu Siwei's kindness in their hearts. Even if it is possible, these people will want to repay them. They can't help with big things, but they still want to find opportunities to help with small things. .

Gu Siwei didn't know that the old man thought of his kindness. He had almost forgotten about it. As the old saying goes, if you give favors, you don't ask for rewards, and if you ask for rewards, you don't give favors. If you don't remember your kindness to others, you can feel comfortable in this day.

Even if he didn't send anything, Gu Siwei couldn't go home directly. The basket contained the things the team wanted, so he went to Guo Xiangping's house with the basket on his back.

When we arrived at the door of Guo Xiangping's house, we found that Guo Xiangping and his wife were also preparing food for drying in their yard.

"Haven't it dried yet? It's been sunny for so many days, are you planning to dry the grain thoroughly?"

Gu Siwei saw that the old couple had been drying the food for many days, and wondered why they were still drying it today.

"Today I took it out to dry, and later the big guys are going to collect the food and ship it out together." Guo Xiangping's happy eyes are almost smiling now.

"What kind of trouble is this? Suddenly remembered to pay the public rations?" Gu Siwei joked.

Guo Xiangping glanced at Gu Siwei, and said: "You still know how to pay the public rations, do you know where the public rations are paid? You are a little tender to talk to me about this."

"Where are you transporting the food if you don't pay it?"

Gu Siwei squatted down, squatted next to the mat, reached out and grabbed a few grains of wheat, put them in his hands and looked at them pretendingly.

After a few glances, he didn't see anything special, and when he was about to throw a few grains of wheat back on the mat, Guo Xiangping came over.

"How about it, how about the food?" Guo Xiangping spoke with obvious complacency.

Gu Siwei naturally wanted to join in, and said with a smile: "Excellent!"

Guo Xiangping was even happier when he heard it: "That's natural, it's really blessed by the mountain god grandfather, this year's summer grain harvest is bumper. It's just a pity."

"Why is it such a pity, isn't the harvest bad?" Gu Siweiqi said.

Guo Xiangping said: "If there hadn't been that heavy rain, how much grain would have been produced? Look here."

Speaking of this, Guo Xiangping pointed to the grains that were drying in his yard, that is, on a few mats. Not only the mats, but also some cloth sheets were also drying the grains.

Gu Siwei didn't understand, and thought in his heart: You can show off this little food to me, old man. If I take out my food, you will feel so inferior that you will jump into the river, do you believe it or not?
Also, if there is no such heavy rain, even if you are lucky this year, you will not have these grains. It would be good to have the situation of previous years.

Guo Xiangping didn't know what Gu Siwei was thinking at the moment, if he knew, he would definitely kick the kid, and scolded him for not flattering him.

At this time, Guo Xiangping took a small handful of grain and put it in the palm of his hand, and spread his hands in front of Gu Siwei, fiddled with the few grains of wheat in his palm with his wrinkled hands.

"See, how big is this grain? Let me tell you that you are not from a farming background. I don't know how big this wheat grain is. It is about [-]% larger than the seeds we left last year. Do you know that?"

"Oh, a lot, a lot, I know," Gu Siwei responded.

Guo Xiangping knew that he didn't understand, but now his talkative nature is strong, and the harvest at home is really bumper, and the village has especially emphasized that it is not allowed to publicly say how much grain has been harvested in the field, because if it gets out, it may not be known. The treatment in the village is gone. What should they do if they are asked to pay public food?
Don't raise any obligations with these farmers. Their idea is that the grain they grow will not be given to anyone in vain. This is the normal thinking of farmers. Unless human society is wiped out, human nature is always selfish.

"Well, let me tell you that you don't understand, let me find a comparison for you!"

Speaking without waiting for what Gu Siwei said, he ran into the house in a hurry.

Gu Siwei looked at the old man's back: Chi!The old man is quite flexible. It will not be a problem for this body to harm the society for another 30 years.
