Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 24
"Brother Siwei, if you really send Si Cui back, I have nothing to say, but with Si Cui's appearance, if you continue like this, you will really starve to death... woo, woo! I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry sister-in-law... ...".

This time it wasn't Guo Shenggen who acted. He really remembered what his cousin took him to play with when he was a child.

But the idea is just a flash, and the next step is to perform.

No matter what, he had to take this opportunity to push Si Cui out. For Guo Shenggen and his wife, if Si Cui ate more, someone in their family would have to eat less.

Regarding Guo Shenggen's performance, some people couldn't stand it anymore. Gu Siwei didn't know the inside story, but he didn't know where Si Cui lived in his house.

Who can't stand it anymore?

Guo Xiangping.

The old man felt disgusted in his heart now, and thought: Comrade Xiao Gu doesn't know what kind of thing you are, what kind of thing are you doing? ?That is to say, her father is dead, otherwise it would be disgusting to be even more uncle than you.

"Brother Siwei, Sicui has been sensible since he was a child, and he does a good job at home, so you can take care of him," Guo Xiangping said.

Gu Siwei doesn't really believe that Sicui's appearance can do any job. After decades, there are many 40-year-old little fairies with a big mouth all day, who can only eat when they don't do anything. There are also some who are justifiably accepting exorbitant gifts, but can't even wash a dish. Such a little fairy can be said to be a lot of money.

If you tell him that a little girl like a bean sprouts can do housework and how well she does it, in his eyes it is nonsense.

Yang Chuanwu saw that everyone talked for a while, but Gu Siwei was not moved, so he used the dragging formula again.

"How about this, Brother Siwei, Sicui will be in your yard first, and when the new food comes down, let's talk about it, you are a capable person, you can get something from the mountains at will, and a little slip between your fingers is enough Raising Sicui's..."

thump!
When Guo Shenggen saw it, he knelt down to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei didn't intend to do this at all. When others knelt down, he had to support someone. What's more, even if he had a golden mountain, he couldn't stop people who wanted to recognize him as a father.

At this time, Liu Fulin, who was sitting in the farthest corner, said, "Siwei, why don't Sicui stay at your house until the summer grains come down? If you still think this way then, Sicui can follow me."

Hearing what Liu Fulin said, everyone except Gu Siwei was taken aback for a moment, obviously this matter had not been mentioned before.

Liu Fulin seemed to be very emotional at this time: "We are too shameful, the people in our own village can't support them, and we force them to raise a half-grown child...".

The moment Liu Fulin said these words, everyone present fell silent, and those who were nervous felt that their faces were burning red.

Hearing what Liu Fulin said, Gu Siwei felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, besides, there were one big, two small and three people kneeling in front of him.

"Uncle Fulin, you said that," Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin straightened his chest, nodded and said: "I said, wait until the summer food comes down, if you are not used to taking Sicui with you, then Sicui will follow me, I will eat with one bite, and Sicui will be full ".

"it is good!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Siwei stood up directly and left Yang Chuanwu's small courtyard without saying a word.

"Flynn, you are... oh!"

Someone wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

Everyone sitting here has selfish intentions, otherwise they would not set up a trick to let an outsider raise Sicui. It is a fact that they can't afford it. It is also a fact that Gu Siwei is capable, and Sicui can eat enough.

But doing things this way is somewhat lacking in conscience.

Liu Fulin finally smiled and stopped talking.

Guo Shenggen was full of smiles at the moment. When Gu Siwei walked out of the yard, he had already got up, took his sons one by one, and said "I'm leaving", and walked away.

Looking at his nephew's back, Guo Xiangping uttered a sentence: "That's the way it is in this life."

"Hey, hey! Go and call Xiao Gu back, I have something to discuss with him."

Hearing this, everyone came back to their senses, and immediately a young man took a trot and called Gu Siwei back.

Gu Siwei sat down again with a strange expression on his face.

I don't know why there is still myself in discussing things.

Gu Siwei didn't know that the meat he delivered during this time was enough for him to get a place in the village when discussing things. Everything else is empty talk.

This is different from the outside world, as long as you are old outside, even if you rely on your seniority, you can get what you say.

But here, it’s a little different in the mountains, that is, you need to be more capable. If you don’t have any skills, what year will there be a natural disaster or something, and the one who will starve to death will be an old and incapable person like you. .

Under the simple centralized system of the underworld, anyone who can speak must be capable. An erhu egg who can only speak will never be allowed to participate in such a major event that is related to everyone's life and death.

"Everyone is here, we have something to sum up."

Everyone sat down, and Yang Chuanwu talked about the opening remarks.

"In the normal years in the past, our village could produce four hundred catties of grain per mu of land, but now it is not as good as every year. Last year, one mu only produced as much as three hundred catties. Now, if this continues, it won’t be long before we have to eat leaves this year.”

Yang Chuanwu said.

Gu Siwei really doesn't know how much yield per mu is qualified, so he doesn't feel deeply about it.

But for others, it was a painful pain. The whole family's face was pale, and it didn't matter if it didn't hurt.

Everyone knows the reason, because these people sitting here are both participants and victims.

Gu Siwei also knew the reason for this, it would be strange if he didn't know.

All the land belongs to everyone. Everyone works every day to get work points. There must be a standard for how many work points you can get.

Everyone follows the standard, but they are fooling around in private. Wouldn't it be better to get work points and save effort.

It's not that everyone doesn't know that there is less food in this field, and everyone has to go hungry, but human nature is like this, everyone can see what is in front of them, and there are very few people who can see in the long run and have a way to deal with it.

Therefore, the output of the same land is decreasing year by year.Some people are hungry and impatient, and will go to the village to steal the seeds of the coming year.

There is less food, but more people, so what can you do if you don't go hungry.

Fortunately, because of the mountainous area, the county gave some food subsidies, otherwise at least [-] to [-]% of the children in Shimo Village would not live to be ten years old.

After figuring out what these people wanted to discuss, Gu Siwei became interested in watching the fun.

As someone who has been there, he doesn’t know anything else. Xiaogang Village still knows about it, and he also knows that in the late 70s, there was a household contract. .

Give enough to the country, keep enough to the collective, and keep the rest for yourself.

I haven't experienced that era, but Gu Siwei has read books, and there are some things in the textbooks. It is precisely because of this that Gu Siwei feels that this meeting is finally interesting.

"Xiangping, what do you think?"

After Yang Chuanwu finished speaking, everyone asked about Guo Xiangping. As someone who had been outside, everyone instinctively thought that Guo Xiangping would see farther.

Guo Xiangping was silent at the moment. It's not that he didn't know how to alleviate this problem, but he knew it, so he didn't dare to say it. What time is it now?It is not just one or two people who were killed for saying the wrong thing, and it is even more impossible for him, Guo Xiangping, to have the gold medal for avoiding death.

In fact, there is a desire in everyone's heart.

But whoever dares to say that first, this may be a major event that will kill his head.

A dead silence!
2 minutes, 3 minutes, and 10 minutes passed, and still no one spoke. The people present were either smoking cigarettes, or crossing their hands, looking down at the ants on the ground, as if there was some big beauty with bare buttocks on the ground.

At first Gu Siwei opened his eyes to watch the excitement, he thought he was the only one who was smart, but as time passed, Gu Siwei finally understood.

These are all human beings!
Not everyone is honest all the time, but now that something big has happened, everyone has become shrewd.

Gu Siwei looked at the crowd, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. At this moment, he knew that dividing the land into households was not something that he could only think of. It is distributed to each household, so that each household can exert great efforts to cultivate the land.

Everyone knows, but everyone is pretending to be stupid, waiting for others to jump out first, and they don't want to be the first to eat crabs.

Gu Siwei watched and watched, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

Hehehe!
Gu Siwei's joy caused everyone's eyes to look at him.

"Siwei, what do you want to say?"

Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Gu Siwei.

How could Gu Siwei talk about these things, he has no benefit at all, if he provokes this show, even if he starves to death, Gu Siwei will not starve to death.

No one in this group wants to be the rafters, so let's starve to death you gangsters first.

Gu Siwei was so happy to think so in his heart, but naturally he couldn't say that.

I saw him rubbing his stomach: "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry that I want to laugh."

Everyone looked at Gu Siwei, and didn't understand for a while how hungry they had to be to make people laugh.

"No, no, I have to go back and have some porridge."

Gu Siwei stood up after speaking, without waiting for others to agree, he walked out of the yard by himself.

He doesn't want to continue spending time here with a bunch of people pretending to be stupid.

After leaving the yard, I looked back at the few people in the yard, and said to myself: Sure enough, it is a thief to grow old and not die, and one by one can become a monkey with hair.
