Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 205

Everyone lowered their heads to work while the sun was still not hot, and waited for the sun to rise and the temperature to rise before stopping to eat something.

It was only about ten minutes, at most twenty or ten minutes, and the folks who had eaten something to rest started to work again.

The matter of recruiting workers has been settled, and everyone's hearts are calm. It is a foregone conclusion whether to go or not, so everyone is working hard, thinking about collecting the food from Gu Siwei's family as soon as possible.

Gu Siwei's work today is the same as yesterday, except that today Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu have a lot more helpers, a group of monkeys who drank malted milk, like chicken blood, helped to pick up the rice.

Now Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu don't need to run around, they just need to squat under the shade of the tree and take care of the ears of rice.

Now this job is not only easy, but also not hot, which really makes Gu Siwei, who is already thick-skinned, a little embarrassed.

"How about I go to cut the rice?"

Gu Siwei said to Liu Fulin who came back to drink water.

Liu Fulin picked up the towel on his shoulder. There were three or four holes in it. There were big holes and small holes, but the old man was still reluctant to throw it away, and it was still hanging on his shoulder.

But having said that, few of the towels hanging on everyone's shoulders are in good condition, at least they are hair-shedding, so they can't be called towels at all.

Gu Siwei's eyes fell on the old man's towel, thinking that when he went to the factory next time, he would bring back a towel for each of the big guys. Now, what is the state of everyone's towels?

When Liu Fulin heard that Gu Siwei was going to cut the rice, he immediately said: "You should tie your rice. You don't have to worry about cutting the rice. You are now in the field, and everyone is busier."

Liu Fulin is now arranging everyone to head side by side, because the efficiency is about the same. Several people line up and go side by side. Gu Siwei cut it once.

With this time, everyone might as well not bring Gu Siwei, so that at least the mood will be much better.

Gu Siwei smiled awkwardly.

Hu Yanqiu said happily: "Don't think about doing technical work, honestly pluck rice ears, now you can hardly compare to me in tying this thing."

Liu Fulin listened and looked at it, and said: "It's true, you should use snacks, too. Isn't it embarrassing to be compared to a girl named Hu Yanqiu in terms of work?"

"Ha ha!"

Gu Siwei is not embarrassed about this matter. How many times will he be crushed by women after decades?I have practiced it a long time ago, so I don't care at all.

We are not like today's men, a machismo, we are in line with the trend of the times, um, the advanced trend.

Hu Yanqiu asked Liu Fulin at this time: "Sister Qiu seems a little unhappy today. She was quite happy to talk yesterday, but she hasn't said a word since today. What's the matter?"

Liu Fulin said in a low voice: "What else can I do? Fang Ming gave up his quota to Qiumei's nephew. It's strange that Qiumei can be happy... Sigh, the old ones don't look old, and the young ones don't have small rules. They only think about taking advantage of others and disregarding their life or death."

Liu Fulin shook his head as he spoke.

Hu Yanqiu couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh. Everyone discussed this matter at dinner yesterday. Although they were a little psychologically prepared, Sun Qiumei's parents really didn't handle this matter very well.The daughter and son-in-law don't have a single ration field, and finally have a job to support the family, how can they take it away with embarrassment!
But it's hard for outsiders to say anything about it.

Gu Siwei glanced at Zhao Fangming subconsciously at this time, and found that the boy was still the same as before, as if the ancient well was calm, as if it was not him who lost the worker's job.

Seeing Zhao Fangming's appearance, Gu Siwei couldn't help but praise him: It's really rare to see such a calm person!
"Okay, you two work hard, and when this ridge is harvested, I will come over to harvest the ears of rice."

After Liu Fulin finished speaking, he turned his head and went into the field again.

Everyone was working hard, including Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu.

When it was almost noon, Sun Qiumei and Wu Meiling took Sicui and the mother who had taken in yesterday, that is, the old lady with extraordinary temperament, to make lunch together.

After eating, it is natural to rest again.

Gu Siwei happened to be beside Zhao Fangming.

Originally thought that this kid fell asleep like yesterday, but who knew that he kept his eyes wide open.

Gu Siwei asked: "Still thinking about recruiting?"

Zhao Fangming was quite honest, and nodded: "Well, how could you not want to!"

This is the truth. The couple turned from salted fish to formerly. They had no fields and no land and suddenly changed from farmers to workers. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is an earth-shaking change.

It's a pity that the meat was snatched away before it tasted in the mouth.

"You don't have to give it." Gu Siwei felt that Zhao Fangming was too easy to talk to.

Zhao Fangming said: "My mother-in-law knelt down for me as soon as she entered the door. How can I say that a house is not a family and a person is not a person because of a job? Then I would rather not have this job, and I am a man. If I can’t support a family, I don’t believe it.”

After hearing this, Gu Siwei stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Fangming on the shoulder, wanting to praise him as a man, but felt that he had wronged him too much.

Of course, such a person Gu Siwei likes to be friends with him, not for anything else but for a sense of security.

At this time, if you can give up a quota of non-agricultural conversion, it is almost equivalent to losing your life. Such a person is not worth being a friend, so which one is worth it?Wine and meat friends definitely don't have the courage.

However, Gu Siwei didn't expect others to work for him. If you think about it, you can only be blind. Gu Siwei just likes such a person, and you don't have to worry too much about being backstabbed when you are friends with such a person.

Then there was a silence, Gu Siwei didn't know how to comfort Zhao Fangming, Zhao Fangming didn't have any interest in saying anything, and finally fell asleep quickly.

That's it, work, work, work all day.

The third day was another day, and it was obvious that Si Cui and Hu Yanqiu couldn't bear it anymore, and their hands shaking when they were eating.

Gu Siwei should have been shaking originally, but he has space to rest, and sleeping in it for a while is equivalent to two or three days of rest, and he will recover even if he is tired.

"Why don't you go back tomorrow, anyway, there is nothing to do in the field," Gu Siwei persuaded.

Hu Yanqiu looked up at Gu Siwei: "You look down on me? Do you think I can't hold on?"

"What do you mean by this, I don't look down on you, not only I don't look down on you, I admire you quite a bit, to be honest, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart."

Gu Siwei said seriously.

He is telling the truth, where has he ever seen a woman working so hard, not counting those in the village, although the women in the village also work, but they are all skilled at doing it, even though Gu Siwei knows that she never knows how to do it I will do it.But Hu Yanqiu is different from them.

As for the difference, you can figure it out for yourself.

Hu Yanqiu thought that Gu Siwei was mocking her and said something ironic, but he stared at Gu Siwei for a while, and then he said, "I haven't finished my work, so I won't leave."

"Then some of you are dry. After the rice is harvested here, the sweet potatoes are harvested there. After the sweet potatoes are harvested, the potatoes in the field will be harvested in half a month. I think you should live directly. Here it is," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

The sweet potatoes from Gu Siwei's field were cooked together with the rice, and the potatoes were cooked later in the evening, and the sweet potatoes were a little early. Gu Siwei's hand shook for a while.

Generally, after the potatoes are planted, the harvest time should be around October. Gu Siwei’s picking time is wrong, and the space water is a little too much, so the sweet potatoes have to be harvested at this time.

But when to close is not a problem for Gu Siwei.The folks are no strangers to Gu Siwei's Hu Zhong.

Just about to say something, Gu Siwei heard You Ni began to bark, and looked in the direction You Ni was looking at, and found a figure popping out.

Just thinking about who it is, I suddenly heard someone shouting loudly: "Well, you mud, I can't even recognize it?"

It was actually Liu Fulin who spoke.

Gu Siwei felt strange, and opened his mouth to ask, "Old man, do you have something here?"

The old man just left when it was dark, why did he come back in less than an hour?

"I suddenly thought of something to discuss."

"What's not good to discuss tomorrow, why are you here specially?" Gu Siwei was a little strange, thinking that the old man wanted to say something to himself.

Liu Fulin said: "One is that there will be a lot of people tomorrow, but I just remembered this and tried to shout while standing in front of the pier. Who would have thought that Flowers and Cubes would take me here because of the special face today?" .

"That's not bad." Gu Siwei laughed, waiting for him to say more.

Who knew that Liu Fulin seemed to be talking to Gu Siwei with no intention of talking, and turned his face to Hu Yanqiu.

"That little Hu, I want to ask you something!"

"Are you looking for something from me?" Hu Yanqiu was a little confused now.

Liu Fulin nodded: "Well, let me tell you something."

Gu Siwei was also a little confused, because he didn't know what Liu Fulin could do with Hu Yanqiu.

Hu Yanqiu said: "You say."

"You have a lot of contacts in the factory, can you ask me where I can buy bicycles, sewing machines, radios and watches!"

hiss!
Si Cui took a breath after hearing this: "Grandpa Fulin, have you made a fortune?"

"I think so too!" Gu Siwei agreed with his sister.

Hu Yanqiu was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he said with a bitter face: "Uncle Fulin, you think too highly of me, how can I get these things, especially watches."

The four things that Liu Fulin said are three turns and one sound at this time. Only people with rich families can afford to buy them. If you have these four things, it proves that your family’s life exceeds at least [-]% to [-]% of Chinese families. Successful people.

No matter how you look at it, Liu Fulin doesn't seem like someone who can afford such a thing.
