Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 252
After eating, today's business is officially over, and that will be the big scene when we come next time.

Gu Siwei went with the matchmaker. It is impossible to say that Xu Congwen left and he stayed at Hu's house. Without this rule, Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu would not be able to meet from today until the day of their marriage.

This is also the rule.

Although Gu Siwei disdains, he still abides by these honestly. He must consider other people's ideas at all times, and he can't take it seriously just because he doesn't care.

Getting married now is not the future, you can do whatever you want. Getting married at this time is equivalent to two families becoming relatives. There are some things that should be paid attention to.

Going home, Gu Siwei went all the way back to his home without even saying hello to Qiao Yitong.

"Ouch!"

When I got home, the first thing I did was to lie down on the bed, lying on my back, humming beautifully.

Sicui stood curiously at the door, looking up at her brother lying on the bed.

"Brother, are you tired?" Si Cui asked.

After finishing speaking, he continued to ask: "Brother, are you thirsty, do you want to make you a pot of tea?"

"Is there still tea at home?" Gu Siwei looked up at his sister.

What kind of tea does Gu Siwei drink at this age? In the past, the tea leaves were given by people like Liu Fulin, and it was impossible for them to give more. In fact, the villagers didn't have much tea in their hands.

If you can’t buy it, you’ll talk about it. The folks in Shimo Village are so poor that they are willing to spend money to buy tea.All the tea leaves are from a few nameless old tea plants in the village.

Gu Siwei also planted a few plants on the hillside near his home, about seven or eight.

When I planted it, I thought about it well, and waited for the tea to grow. When the time came, I sipped the tea and sipped it with my hands. I was dressed in a fairy-tale manner, and I wanted to look for my palmistry at a glance. kind of.

The results of it?
Trees are planted, but tea?I have long forgotten that it was in the dog's stomach.

This is the case with many things. Gu Siwei has thought of many good ideas in his mind, but once he does it, he is like a dog breaking jade, catching this and missing that.

Sicui said: "I just roasted new tea, and I don't know if it is good or not."

"My God, you are really capable," Gu Siwei exclaimed.

This girl Si Cui seems to be born to work hard, and she can hardly take time off. If she is free, she seems to feel uncomfortable all over. Except for making her get stuck when she is studying, her eyes are full of work at other times. Gu Siwei's brother is much more diligent.

When Si Cui heard what Gu Siwei said, she grinned happily.

"You thought it was a compliment, don't do so much work in the future, it makes me look like a waste," Gu Siwei said to his sister with a smile.

Si Cui looked displeased: "Brother is not a trash, the whole village is trash, and brother is the most capable."

"Okay, stop flattering, where's the tea, let me taste how you fried it," Gu Siwei said to Si Cui.

Seeing that Si Cui was about to turn around to make tea for herself after speaking, Gu Siwei rolled up from the bed: "Forget it, I'll go with you."

Following Sicui to the living room, Gu Siwei found that Sicui moved the stool and took an iron can from the shelf next to it. This thing was used by Gu Siwei to hold food. The biscuits bought in the store were filled with this thing.

Generally speaking, the jars containing biscuits are quite large at this time, about the volume of four or five liters of mineral water bottles. Generally, these jars are not thrown away after eating, and each family uses them for something.

However, this jar is a bit small, and it can almost hold a little less than a liter.

The reason why it is so small is because the biscuits it originally contained were very expensive, four or five times the price of ordinary biscuits. If it were packed in a box containing ordinary biscuits, few people would be able to afford it. A box of biscuits would kill a worker One month's salary, that's fine.

Divided into small boxes, it is not very easy to sell. The store is worried that this item will expire if it cannot be sold. As a result, Gu Siwei appeared and bought all the jars with the meal ticket.

Two jars were given to Hu Yanqiu, and two jars were given to Sicui. Hu Yanqiu didn't eat much, because she has a younger brother, so most of them went into Hu Yanping's mouth, and almost all of them went into Sicui's stomach.

Sicui likes to eat very much, so she keeps the jar all the time.

Now the jar has a new role, it is used to hold the tea leaves.

Seeing that his sister took the tea pot, Gu Siwei took it and helped to open it. He looked into the pot and found that the pot was actually full.

"so much!"

Gu Siwei is a little strange.

Tea leaves are not tea, and the tea leaves will shrink after making them. For such a jar of tea, it takes at least a day or two to fry. This is still the craft of the villagers, as long as the water is dried.

As for how long it will take for the real master to make tea, Gu Siwei doesn't know.

Sicui said happily: "Try it quickly, Grandpa Tao taught me."

"Has the old man Tao Yisheng been here?" Gu Siwei asked when he heard Sicui mention Tao Yisheng.

It's nothing new for the old man to come to Gu Siwei's place. As long as there is a chance, Tao Sheng will stay with Gu Siwei for a day or two before returning to the village where he lives now.

Therefore, Gu Siwei's sentence is just a casual question, which has no special meaning.

Si Cui nodded and hummed: "Yes, Grandpa Tao just left this morning. He left just before dawn. Before leaving, he said he would come back in two days."

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "I also said that I would find someone to deliver the letter to him. When he is finally here by himself, then there is no need to find someone."

Gu Siwei got married, and Tao Yisheng must have informed him. Gu Siwei didn't go there in person mainly because the road was really not close. The old man didn't live in the town but in the countryside, also in the mountains.

As the old saying goes, Wangshan runs away to death!So Gu Siwei and Tao Yisheng's Zhuangzi are not far away in a straight line, but if they take the country road, it's not much closer than going to the factory.

After finishing speaking, Gu Siwei boiled water to make tea.

Waiting for the tea to cool slightly, Gu Siwei took a sip gently, and tasted it slowly in his mouth.

"How about it?"

Sicui has been by the side all the time, half of her body lying on the small table, staring at her brother expectantly with two big eyes, it seems that she really wants to be praised by Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei hummed, and it was still a long-drawn sound, and he knew that he was extremely satisfied when he heard it.

Although she didn't speak, Sicui already knew that her brother was very satisfied with the tea she made, and her eyes instantly turned into crescent moons.

Gu Siwei was about to praise, when suddenly he heard a voice.

"Siwei, Sicui, are you at home?"

Liu Dezhu's voice.

Gu Siwei and Sicui ran to the edge of the cliff, stretched their heads to look down, and found that kid Liu Dezhu was going down the cliff.

As for why he didn't come up, the reason is very simple and you don't need to think about it carefully. Hua and Fang Fang were in a good mood this morning and pulled his boat over.

However, the mood of Plant Flower and Cube is not good. The monkeys ignored him today, and he couldn't come up. Otherwise, he would yell at people below.

"Put Suo Ti down, can you do something serious every day?"

Gu Siwei said to the group of monkeys on the tree.

There was a smile on his face when he said it, and he was obviously not angry, and the monkey group knew it, but since Gu Siwei had spoken, they let Cable Ti down.

If it was Sicui, it would be hard for the monkey to say whether he would do something or not.

It can be seen that it is not only the ability of human beings to watch people order food, monkeys are also good at it.

The cable ladder was put down, and after a while Liu Dezhu came up along the cable ladder.

"Is something wrong?"

Gu Siwei saw that the kid was sweating profusely, so he thought something was wrong with him.

Liu Dezhu grinned happily, and took out a big cloth bag from the basket on his back, which was quite big, like a small box.

"what?"

"Book!" Liu Dezhu replied.

Gu Siwei became even more strange when he heard it, and quickly asked Liu Dezhu to put the things on the table.

After putting the things on the table, Liu Dezhu opened the cloth bun on it.

"It's really a book!"

The thing wrapped in the cloth bag is really a book, and it doesn't look like a modern book, it's a thread-bound book from the past.

Opened it and flipped through it, Gu Siwei found that it was introducing porcelain, picked up another book and flipped through it, and found that there was a introduction of jade in it.

"This is?"

Gu Siwei looked at Liu Dezhu, and wanted to ask how you got this thing.

Now there are twelve volumes in the book, and each volume has a bit of weight, and there are some notes in it, which are bound with thick thread.To be clear, this is an antique identification note.

There are pictures on it, but everyone knows what the pictures in the books looked like in the past. You want to see special and detailed things from the things drawn by the ancients, but Gu Siwei has no such ability anyway.

If it weren't for the clothes and hairstyles, the characters they drew, Gu Siwei, wouldn't be able to distinguish between men and women, let alone flowers and grass.

"This is brought over by the old lady of Meiling's sister-in-law's family. She said that you like to play with some gadgets. Let me show you. Don't return them. She doesn't want to keep these things any more. Just turn them over... Turn... turn what?"

Having said that, Liu Dezhu began to scratch his head.

"Gift?"

Gu Siwei reminded me.

Snapped!Liu Dezhu clapped his hands: "Yes, it's a gift, what does it mean?"

"... Nothing, just give it to me." Gu Siwei looked at the silly boy a little speechless.

"Oh, so I gave it to you. How easy it is to tell you. The old lady is too good at fooling people." Liu Dezhu muttered.

"Anything else?"

Liu Dezhu asked back: "What else do you think should be the matter?"

If someone else said that, Gu Siwei would definitely have to think about it, but when it came out of Liu Dezhu's mouth, Gu Siwei knew that nothing happened.

"Oh, by the way, the old woman asked someone to tell you, congratulations, you're getting married, she can't come because of something at home... sister-in-law Meiling and brother Shengshou won't come either," Liu Dezhu said.

Gu Siwei understood the matter. Something happened suddenly at the old lady's house, and she didn't know which relative passed away, so Guo Shengshou's family would not attend Gu Siwei's wedding.

Gu Siwei nodded to show that he knew. Who could have predicted this, and Guo Shengshou, the son-in-law, would follow him. The other side of the family must be closer in blood than his neighbor.
