Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 299

After eating, chatting with the big guys to eliminate food, for about an hour or so, everyone went back to the house to sleep one after another.

This sleep lasted until the next morning, and no one said that they suffered from insomnia. Everyone fell asleep as soon as their head hit the bed, and it was time to wake up as soon as they opened their eyes.

After Gu Siwei finished washing here, he went out to look around where some old men were working, and when he came back, breakfast was already on the table.

Everyone prepared their meals with basins, and those who wanted to sit at the edge of the table sat at the edge of the table, and those who wanted to hold it in their hands. Anyway, as long as you like it, no one has any objections to eating breakfast upside down.

Breakfast is rice porridge with kang salted fish. If you want to eat some more, there are also pancakes baked in a big pot. The folks here call this paste.

This thing is very simple to make, just add salt to the batter, if you are more particular about adding leeks or other vegetables, wait for the pot to heat up, use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of batter into the pot, and then use the pot Just spread out a round pancake with a shovel.

If you want to pay more attention to it, spread an egg on top of the round pancake.

This morning, chef Hu Yanqiu obviously didn't pay much attention to it. There was only battered scorpion, no eggs, and there was quite a lot of oil.

It would definitely be unhealthy if this stuff was placed in the era when Gu Siwei came, because everyone advocated a diet with less oil and less salt, but now it is the best food, especially for manual workers, a piece here A few bowls of rice porridge can be carried by the scorpion of paste.

Gu Siwei first drank a bowl of rice porridge, served with a finger-long small salty sharp-billed fish. Put the small salty fish in the pot and bake it without oil. brought out.

Soft and glutinous rice porridge, served with burnt and crispy small salted fish, the authentic farmhouse taste, can't say how fine or good it is, but it tastes sweet.

A bowl of rice porridge is eaten, and a small salted fish is also declared to be reimbursed.

Gu Siwei rinsed the bowl with water, and then shook it twice to get rid of the remaining water in the bowl as much as possible.

When he got to the side of the pot, Gu Siwei lifted the lid of the pot, picked up the spatula and shoveled a piece of paste into the bowl.

When I was about to cover the pot again, I suddenly heard my brother-in-law shout: "Brother-in-law, don't cover it, I will have another piece."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei didn't prepare to cover it, and was about to turn around when he heard his wife speak suddenly.

"How much did you eat?"

Hu Yanping's originally happy face immediately shrugged: "Two yuan!"

"Then you still eat?" Hu Yanqiu said.

Hu Yanping sat down again honestly.

Gu Siwei said: "Two yuan is nothing for such a big child, let him eat a little more."

Hu Yanqiu said: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to him. He's my younger brother, so I still can't bear to part with this bit of food? I'm afraid he'll be full. Do you know how many bowls of rice porridge he ate?"

How could Gu Siwei know this, so he waited for his daughter-in-law to ask and answer.

"Two bowls, two bowls of rice porridge in his stomach, plus two pieces of sticky rice, he will cry later, I'm afraid that he will eat his stomach and break his stomach," Hu Yanqiu said.

At this time, Lao Li said: "It's normal for teenagers to eat, and when they are growing up, they should eat more."

"Uncle Li, you don't know, this kid can't count his food. If you don't control it, he will have to eat something to aid digestion later," Hu Yanqiu said.

After hearing this, old man Li said: "Why does such an older child have something wrong with eating?"

Old man Yu said, "It's not like when we were young, we went hungry for nine meals in three days. Although we don't eat much now, as long as we are workers, we still have something to eat at home."

Lu Yan also interjected: "Yeah, life is always getting better and better."

"Good ball!"

The old man Zhou, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said: "Stop bragging, it's better than everything!"

puff!

Gu Siwei was directly amused, looked at old man Zhou and said with a smile: "I always thought you couldn't speak."

Old man Zhou glanced at Gu Siwei, and began to practice his closed-mouthed meditation again.

Although he was harassed, Lu Yan was not angry, but said to old man Zhou with a smile: "That's right, it's better for everyone to talk than to keep silent."

Old man Zhou returned to his previous appearance.

Fortunately, there are no narrow-minded people here, so everyone continues to talk and chat.

Gu Siwei couldn't bear the look of his brother-in-law, but he didn't dare to say what to do in front of his wife, so he looked at her first.

Hu Yanqiu may also feel that what he did just now was a bit too much, and he shouldn't talk about his younger brother in front of everyone. Seeing her husband looking at him and understanding what he meant, he nodded slightly.

Seeing that he got permission, Gu Siwei came to the side of his brother-in-law and squatted down, divided the paste in his bowl into two, took the larger piece and put it in the brother-in-law's bowl.

Hu Yanping didn't dare to just eat like that, he looked up at his sister first, and saw that her sister turned her face away, and then ate the mess with a smile.

Gu Siwei ate half of a pancake, listening to a few old men chatting about today's work.

"Comrade Siwei, can our house be built?" Old Man Yu asked Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei was a little confused, and opened his mouth to ask: "Is the material ready?"

"Building while building, what's the difference between building everything after it's finished, besides, even if it's finished, you may make a mistake while waiting to build it, and you have to correct it on the spot, so it's not as good as it is now Let’s just cover it up and adjust it a little bit, what do you think?”

Old man Yu said.

"Don't call me Comrade Siwei, you are older, just call me Siwei, or Gu Siwei, just be kinder."

After Gu Siwei finished speaking, he said again: "If you think it's okay, then do it."

Old man Yu said: "What do you mean we can do what we say, you are the commander-in-chief, you have to play a leading role!"

"What am I telling you? Anyway, the house is built for you. If it collapses, you will be crowded in the winter. Otherwise, you have to build it well. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me. I don't guarantee if it can be solved. There is no guarantee when it will be resolved. As for whether the house you build is safe or not, that has nothing to do with me.

Well, that's it, now I announce in the name of the commander-in-chief, Lao Yu, you are now the commander-in-chief of building the house. Ok, the meeting is over." Gu Siwei waved his big hand, throwing away all the responsibility.

The four old men, including the old man Zhou who had been silent all the time, were a little confused, looked up at Gu Siwei, and then lowered his head again.

Gu Siwei's words almost choked Hu Yanping. He stretched his neck and looked at his brother-in-law, thinking that his brother-in-law was so free and easy.

"You don't care?"

Old man Yu thought for a while before recovering.

"What do I care? You didn't even bring any good rice, and I still miss you? Do you know how busy I am?" Gu Siwei said smoothly.

"What are you busy with? Sleeping, slipping?" Old man Li couldn't stand it any longer.

Gu Siwei is so cheeky, how can he care about this: "My life is like this, don't be envious, if you work hard, one day you will be able to live like me."

Old man Li listened halfway, and didn't want to talk to Gu Siwei anymore.

Gu Siwei put the last pancake into his mouth, and then stood up holding the bowl. At this time, Si Cui had finished eating, so he put away Gu Siwei's bowl and prepared to wash it.

Gu Siwei feels that in this day and age, if it's not that he can't sing well, he must sing a song to express his love for life now.

What else can I say these days?Daughter-in-law cooks, not only cooking, but also serving it in front of her. After eating, the sister and daughter-in-law take turns to wash the dishes, and she is the shopkeeper. If she carries a bird cage and puts an eagle on her arm, then It's safe to say whether there are dudes.

Although he can't sing, Gu Siwei can hum, humming a ditty happily, and said to his wife: "I'll go to the village."

"Brother-in-law, I will go with you too."

Seeing that Gu Siwei was about to leave, Hu Yanping also took two mouthfuls and stuffed the rest of the scorpion into his mouth, but the mouth was too small to fit it in. The stuffing was stuffed in, and there was still a small piece of it. The sticky scorpion hangs out of his mouth.

"What are you going to do next?"

When Hu Yanqiu saw his younger brother's appearance, his brows immediately stood on end, and he assumed the majesty of his elder sister like a mother.

"I'm going to learn technology with my brother-in-law." Hu Yanping is a clever kid, and he thought of an excuse as soon as he rolled his eyes.

How could Hu Yanqiu be blinded by him, he was almost brought up by Hu Yanqiu since he was a child, to put it mildly, when Hu Yanping pouted, Hu Yanqiu knew what shit he was shitting.

"What technique do you want to learn? Just stay here honestly, and you will follow suit when Sicui is doing homework later. If there is anything wrong, wait for your brother-in-law to come back and ask." Hu Yanqiu said.

Hu Yanping turned his head between his sister and brother-in-law, and then winked at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei saw it, but he didn't care about it, so he shrugged at his brother-in-law, then spread his hands, and the colleague who spread his hands curled his mouth to show that he was powerless.

Gu Siwei didn't want to take this kid with him. He didn't think it at first, but he got so annoyed that he came all the way. He kept asking questions and they were very ridiculous questions, the kind that didn't know the boundaries. One is still talking about how tall you are, and the next one can jump to the topic of why animals are divided into male and female.

You can say that this kid has a unique perspective and special ideas, he is some kind of genius or something, but whoever wants to be with him like this kind of genius is just a super chatterbox.

"You...I misjudged you." Hu Yanping felt that his brother-in-law was too useless, and even such a small matter could not help him.

Gu Siwei ignored him at all.

With the help of his wife, after getting rid of his brother-in-law, Gu Siwei's mood became better, and Xiao Geer hummed aloud.

"The big girl is beautiful, the big girl is beautiful, the big girl walked into the green gauze tent...".
