Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 186

When the old man came back, he had a cloth bag in his hand. The bag was not big, about the size of a palm. It seemed to be the bag the old man used to hold tobacco leaves.

Many young people haven't seen this thing decades later. To be precise, when Gu Siwei came, people under the age of 30 probably hadn't seen this thing.

This thing is tied to the rod of the tobacco pot, and is used to hold the shredded tobacco leaves. When the smoking is finished, bring a bag and add the tobacco leaves into the pot to continue smoking.

Returning to Gu Siwei's side, the old man sat down, opened the bag and poured out a few grains of wheat from it, for comparison with the wheat on the ground.

Now Gu Siwei can see it, as long as he is not blind, he can see that the wheat picked up from the ground is much larger than the one poured out of the bag, and it is also much fatter.

Compared with the wheat grains picked up from the ground, the ones poured out of the bag are a bit thinner, like a shuttle with sharp ends, but the ones picked up from the ground have a larger belly and are not sharp at both ends.

"It's really a lot bigger. Is this the seed your family left last year?"

At this time, everyone farmed the land by saving their own seeds, and there were no seed companies. Even if there were seed companies, even a poor place like Shimo Village could not afford good seeds.

"Where is this from my family? We can't keep wheat seeds in our family. These are the seeds left by his uncle's family. My family trades them for grain every year," Guo Xiangping said.

When the old man said it, his mood was called emotion. Although Gu Siwei couldn't feel the old man's feelings personally, he still felt the old man's emotions.

"The days will get better and better in the future," Gu Siwei comforted.

Guo Xiangping smiled and said: "Actually, I shouldn't have said that. I have always had a thorn in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it. Do you know how I got it?"

Gu Siwei asked, "How did you change it?"

Gu Siwei was surprised, did you just say that you exchanged it with your son's uncle's house, why did you forget about it after a while?

Guo Xiangping waved his hand and gestured at Gu Siwei once and for all.

"So expensive?!"

Gu Siwei was a little startled. Guo Xiangping's gesture meant that he exchanged two catties of wheat for one catty of such seeds. Is this the child's uncle?Don't tell me the old aunt was picked up by her parents, right?
Gu Siwei was thinking about it in his mind.

It's no wonder that Guo Xiangping is unhappy. This is the child's uncle. He and other people's family is a bargain. This food, from time to time, has to be slapped with such a sentence or two by the child's uncle.

He didn't dare to retaliate. What if he repaid the repayment and waited for the next year to exchange for seeds? Sometimes one less meal means a life.

Gu Siwei can't understand this matter. The generation born decades later has hardly experienced the era of starvation. For example, when Gu Siwei was born and grew up, this generation no longer cares about Japan and Europe. , because they don't feel that there is a generation gap between our country and them.

The generation of Gu Siwei’s parents has many old ideas, such as Japanese electrical appliances, cars, and imported goods are always good, but the younger generation does not, and this generation is more self-reliant and confident.

Hearing Guo Xiangping talk about this, Gu Siwei didn't know how to comfort him.

Guo Xiangping changed the subject at this moment: "When the grain came out, I immediately turned over and sang. The last time I went to his uncle's house to show him the grain, he immediately explained that he would use my seeds next year.

I just opened my mouth and said to him, go at your price~!

Hahahahaha! "

The old man laughed heartily: "You don't know the expression on his uncle's face, my decades of grievances disappeared in an instant, and I felt completely refreshed!"

Gu Siwei gave the old man a thumbs up: "Yes, that's what we have to do. In this world, men have revenge for revenge, revenge for grudges, and repayment for favors. This is the real man" .

Snapped!
Guo Xiangping clapped his hands: "Yes, that's the reason!"

After finishing speaking, the old man asked with a smile on his face, "Do you know how much land the commune will plant?"

Gu Siwei was really flattering this time, and asked with a smile, "How much?"

"Our family is not enough, I also found Luan Sanpao, and our two families put together the seeds for him."

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "I said, why did I see Uncle Luan drying grains when I entered the village in the morning? So that's what happened."

Luan Sanpao is the old man Luan just now. Sanpao is not a nickname, but a real name. There are two older brothers, the eldest brother is called Dapao, and the second brother is called Erpao. His parents gave him this name because they have no education.Fortunately, it's not in the north. Sanpao is not a derogatory term, it means artillery, and no one extends the term "Northern Mountain Pao".

The old man talks about sex, and he has never been able to find anyone to talk about it. One is that he knows that others will not sympathize with him but will laugh at him. This is not a question of kindness, but that old brothers are nothing at all together When you are in love with each other, it is always fun to laugh at others, and you will only show up when something really happens. At other times, there is no scene of brothers and friends respecting you. They are often the ones who laugh at you the loudest.

But Gu Siwei is different. First, the old man knows that Gu Siwei doesn’t like to talk about these parents’ short stories with others. Second, there is really no way to hold back. Mental illness.

Just like that, Gu Siwei wanted to leave the old man and held him back.

"Why are you in a hurry, don't leave at noon today, drink two cups with me at my house, unlike your family's good wine, I have farm wine here, and a little meat brought back...".

The old man was talking, and when he saw that Gu Siwei was about to leave, he immediately took out his best wine and vegetables, and was going to talk to Gu Siwei about his uncle.

"Don't, don't, I really don't have time, I have a lot of things at home here, how can I have time to drink wine."

How could Gu Siwei be in the mood to drink some wine at his house? The family members ate the wine and meat by themselves. What about the old man's children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law? It entered Gu Siwei's stomach, what's going on.

Not to mention, their family's craftsmanship, well, it's okay not to mention it, but Gu Siwei is not interested in mentioning it.

It's not that the farm food is not delicious, but that the farm food at this time is really bad.

There are several reasons. One is that there is no oil. Even if there is oil, it is not enough. As for what is not good to eat lard, eating too much oil is easy to cause various diseases. Now there is no such concept, because most of the diseases are not caused by eating, but by Can't afford it.

Guo Xiangping stared: "You think my house doesn't have good food and wine?"

The old man was a bit inconsiderate of others, and most of the feudal parents after this time were like this.It's not that he has a bad heart, but that he didn't think of this.

There is also a personality problem. He regrets it when others say it afterwards, but he continues to do this when he encounters a problem. This is the case with ordinary people, not just Guo Xiangping.

"What are you talking about, how can we continue talking today? I really have something to do. My family is about to harvest wheat, and the barn on my side hasn't been built yet. It's all about things at hand."

Gu Siwei said.

"Do you want to build a barn?" Guo Xiangping didn't understand.

"It's you who live your life carefully!"

You can't understand this as a compliment. In fact, the old man means that your family has a lot of things, and you need a barn for food?Who doesn't put grain at home, surround the main room with knots, and pour the grain in when the time comes, first, it looks convenient, and second, it's safe to put this thing in the house, right?

Besides, how big is Gu Siwei's house? If you don't say anything else, just talk about the house where Sicui lives now. Guo Xiangping would never believe that the things in the toilet were really tasteless anyway.

There was no other way, Guo Xiangping had to let Gu Siwei go.

Gu Siwei walked towards the entrance of the village with a basket on his back, and when he arrived at Luan Sanpao Luan's old uncle's house, he found that the old couple were not at home, and the food in the courtyard had already been spread out.

Only the eldest grandson of the old couple sat on the bench, holding a bowl in his hand, looking at the grain in the yard while eating, not for fear of being stolen by others, but for fear of his own chicken stealing food.

"Uncle Siwei, why are you looking for my grandpa and grandma?"

The little boy was very enthusiastic when he saw Gu Siwei, but such a little child didn't know how polite he was, but the light in his eyes proved that Gu Siwei was very popular in the hearts of all the children.

The reason is simple. Gu Siwei has sugar. Since Gu Siwei appeared in the village, these children have tasted fruit candy, milk candy, chocolate and so on.

Not to mention children, adults are all following the knife to pull their butts-open your eyes.

"I brought something for your grandpa and grandma, and you are not allowed to steal it from them when you come back."

Speaking of which, Gu Siwei took out a small bag of snacks from the basket, cat's ears, which are fried noodles, with sugar hearts inside, and a layer of icing sugar sprinkled on the outside.

Sweet things are not too sweet for Gu Siwei to eat, but for farmers these days, they are all the best things.

The one given by Gu Siwei is not the same, a small bag is about half a catty, about twenty pieces.

When giving this thing to the child, Gu Siwei also gave the child two candies.

"this is for you"

"Thank you, Uncle Siwei!"

The little guy was so happy that his eyes became a line. He took the candy and held it in his hand, and threw the bowl he was holding aside.

At this time, their dog came over and seeing that the little master didn't care, he stretched his head and began to lick the things in the bowl.

"roll!"

The little guy quickly discovered this scene, because the dog was not a kid, or he was in a hurry to eat, so he overturned the bowl on the bench.

Now the little guy didn't care if he didn't notice it. When he saw the dog stealing his food, the little guy got angry and kicked the puppy when he went up.

oooooooo!
As soon as the dog ate the pain, he bowed his tail between his legs, and ran out the door howling.

"Kill you bastard".

The little guy is very irritable now, because the dog ate his meal, so he won't have anything to eat until noon, don't look at him as a five or six-year-old child, but he still doesn't get this treatment, because every family cooks every meal How many things are fixed, if your food is gone, it will be gone.

Gu Siwei looked at this scene with a smile, reached out and rubbed the little guy's forehead, then turned and left.
