Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 198 Distraction
Gu Siwei drove the boat across the canyon, attracted grass flowers and cubes, the speed of the boat increased instantly, and rushed towards Yinsong Cliff as if on a speedboat.

At this time, no one lamented the speed of the flowers and cubes, and everyone was immersed in one thing, which was the job recruitment that Yang Chuanwu mentioned just now.

It's so lively!
Although the big guys are all over the age, who doesn't have a son, and if the son is not qualified, there are grandsons. Anyway, there are a lot of people in the family now, and there is always someone who can bear it.

Gu Siwei listened quietly to the big guy's hot chat, with a smile on his lips. He understood the big guy's heart, but he didn't agree with it because he knew the historical trend. The tide of layoffs from a few to a few days, no matter how you look at it, these loggers can't survive.

But he couldn't say it, and no one would believe it, so Gu Siwei could only smile and watch the big guys chat.

"Siwei, are you about the same age?"

Someone thought of Gu Siwei and asked casually.

Upon hearing this, the big guys immediately focused their attention on Gu Siwei. Everyone understood the truth, that is, if Gu Siwei was of the right age, he must be one of the places.

why?
One is that Gu Siwei is educated, so he can't stop others from being able to read, and his own children and grandchildren may not know a lot of characters when they add up, so how can they compete with others?

As a result, the atmosphere on the boat suddenly became a little more subtle, and many people felt that the possibility of their own family members became less likely.

Gu Siwei saw it, so he said with a smile: "I'm not old enough, I'm still one year behind, people say I'm eighteen, I'm only eighteen and I'm not qualified at all."

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people may feel that they think so, which is a bit too unreasonable, so they comforted Gu Siwei: "Siwei, there is no chance this time, but there may be a chance next time. How can it be possible that the factory is built? To recruit a group of workers, I estimate that there will be at least two or three times. You will definitely be old enough by the next one."

"Yes, yes, Siwei, don't be discouraged."

A group of people actually started to persuade Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said with a smile: "I'm not interested in being a worker. To be honest, if I wanted to be a worker, I would have done it long ago. I don't like being restrained here. I have to go to work all day after being a worker. Now I How wonderful, the freedom to come and go at will is really much more comfortable than being a worker.”

"That's right, why didn't we think that we can't compare with you, hunting skills are there, no matter what time you have a full meal, naturally you don't care about these things, let alone this time, even wars don't hinder you What, go to the old forest for a minute, eat and drink without worrying about it, it's not like us... ".

It was only then that everyone remembered that although the person in front of them was young, he was capable. He didn't need to be a worker to support the whole family.

Needless to say anything else, just look at the lives of others, let alone the village, the whole Shimo Village, including a group of people in the town, except for the village head, whose life is better than that of Gu Siwei.

Suddenly Gu Siwei's competition alert was lifted, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but after a while, everyone began to talk about recruitment again.

When they arrived at the bottom of the cliff, went up the cliff and came to the edge of the field, not only these people joined the discussion, but Sun Qiumei and Zhao Fangming also warmed up.

nothing else!Zhao Fangming's family is also within the age range, and Zhao Fangming has read a little, which is more advantageous than the gang of brats in the village.

Isn't Zhao Fangming a villager?The first two days didn't count, but from the moment he and Sun Qiumei got married, he was already a member of the sixth team. Why should he be excluded by such a thing?
So everyone found out that after Gu Siwei left, another Zhao Fangming came.

It's interesting to do this job, and many people can't help but talk to each other for a while, so the speed will naturally slow down.

Gu Siwei didn't care, but Liu Fulin really couldn't stand it anymore.

He mowed for about half an hour, and the anger in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, and finally broke out, throwing the sickle in his hand into the ground.

"If you think about being a worker, go home and think about it honestly. Siwei here invited you to harvest the crops. You are not asked to work for nothing. You are still working hard with the agreed wages. , You are not guilty.

Thinking of my own child being a worker, I really can't help but not talk about it. Now throw down your scythe and go home. If you don't do this job, some people will do it!

Don't occupy the latrine one by one without shitting, you also make room for others! "

As soon as everyone heard what Liu Fulin said, no one said anything at once, and one by one buried their heads in harvesting the crops, and the efficiency was two or three times faster than before.

Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu were obviously dragging their feet. Although they both had sickles in their hands, they didn't have the guts to swing them as high as others, and they brought a piece of rice down hard when they fell.

If the two of them really did this, they wouldn't know if the rice would be poured, and they probably would have to follow suit.

why?
Because the two will cut their own legs!
It's not impossible, two or three times he was about to cut off his own leg, but thanks to the slow speed of the two of them, it would have been a joke for Team Six to hurt his leg first.

The two are the bottom one of each other, not to mention compared with adults, even Si Cui is stronger than the two of them.

"I really didn't expect that harvesting rice is not as easy as I thought."

Hu Yanqiu straightened up, but before he straightened up, he let out an ouch first, without even asking, Gu Siwei knew it all too well, the sour feeling when he got up after bending over for a long time is really not enough to describe in words.

"My waist!" Hu Yanqiu said.

After listening to Gu Siwei's persuasion, he said: "It's considered good now. When you look at it tomorrow morning, you will find that the waist is no longer yours."

Hu Yanqiu was not a squeamish girl, but being told by Gu Siwei aroused her stubbornness, so she straightened her waist and reached out to hammer it twice.

"Don't underestimate people, it's you, I will still work tomorrow, and I will do better than you!" Hu Yanqiu challenged Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei didn't care. He smiled softly, made a gesture of arching his hands, and then turned the sickle in his hand to cut the rice in front of him.

Stretch out your left hand and swipe to pull a wave of rice into your arm, and then turn your sickle to cut down the rice stalk. The correct demonstration is that where the sickle passes, the rice will be separated from your roots like a blade cutting tofu. , but Gu Siwei always has one or two, or seven or eight, or a dozen or so rice plants that are not so obedient, and are unwilling to be separated from their roots, so this is troublesome.

Like this time again, Gu Siwei had to look down to see which guy was disobedient, and used the sickle again to deal with these guys, and then cut off a bunch of rice.

The two cut less than half a row here, and Liu Fulin, Sun Qiumei, and Zhao Fangming had already cut two rows, that is to say, they cut back and forth, and they ran into Gu Siwei again in the third row.

It hurts to see two people cutting rice so hard!
If there is such a word as "egg pain" at this time, Liu Fulin and the others will definitely put it on their heads.

Liu Fulin thought for a while and said, "Siwei, Yanqiu, you two should be cut separately. How about you tie up the cut rice, do you know how to tie up the rice?"

Sun Qiumei knew that they didn't know how to do it at all when they looked at them, and she didn't laugh at them, because they were not suitable for doing farm work. Yes, how does it look like working in the field, which field is not dark and slippery?

Sun Qiumei said to Zhao Fangming, her husband, "Fang Ming, teach them both and see if they know how to prick."

Zhao Fangming wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, he put down the sickle in his hand and came to the side of Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu.

Hu Yanqiu was a little disappointed, and said to Zhao Fangming with a bitter face: "Why do I feel that we are like useless people now, we can't do anything, and we will only cause trouble for everyone."

Gu Siwei said cheerfully: "It's you, don't bring me, okay, I'm not a useless person, I'm just not good at this activity."

"Which activity are you good at? Don't you just not be good at labor?" Hu Yanqiu looked at Gu Siwei and asked.

Gu Siwei gave her a thumbs up gesture, which means you guessed it right.

Hu Yanqiu felt that he had nothing to do with Gu Siwei, so after muttering a few words, he carefully watched Zhao Fangming teach how to tie the rice on the ground.

This job is still quite simple, but it is really difficult for the two of them to do it. Zhao Fangming made a dozen bundles, and almost every bundle was about the same size. Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu tied it. They have their own way, and they are big and small for a while.

Zhao Fangming saw that the two of them had learned almost everything, so he said "you can do it yourself", and then went back and bent over to cut the rice.

Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu continued to tie the rice, bundled the rice cut by others, and sent them together to pile up at the same time.

Even if it was a lighter job, the two still couldn't keep up with the movements of the large army. In the end, they had no choice but Sicui and Liu Dezhu also came over to tie them up together.

At this time, Gu Siwei thought of the pony, but it's a pity that you can't find these monkeys when you want to use them, and dangle in front of your eyes all day when you don't use them.

With Liu Fulin's scolding, the big guys didn't dare to discuss the matter of recruiting workers any more, they buried their heads in their work, and before they knew it, it was noon, and the sun was so big that it was hot in the sky. I haven't done it before, the sweat on this side has not dried out, and the sweat on the other side is already coming out.

Others don't talk about it, just talk about Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu, they seem to be fished out of the water.

"Uncle, should we let everyone take a break, have a meal, take a rest after eating, and wait for the sun to be less poisonous before we continue working?"

Gu Siwei came to Liu Fulin's side and spoke to Liu Fulin briefly.

Liu Fulin supported the straw hat on his head with the handle of the sickle in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, then turned his head and started asking about Sun Laibao and his wife nearby.

"How about it?"

"Wait another half an hour, let them go back to cook first, our side is okay," Sun Laibao said.

After hearing this, Liu Fulin yelled to the people who were busy in the field: "Everyone work hard, wait for half an hour to eat, after eating, everyone take a rest, wait for the sun to go west before continuing to work, everyone pay attention to drinking water , don’t get heatstroke at that time.”

Everyone responded after hearing it.
