Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 308

Early in the morning, just as Gu Siwei got up here, he heard movement outside. When he got out of the house, he found that a group of aunts and sisters-in-law from the village had arrived, and they had already started peeling persimmons one by one.

"So early?" Gu Siwei was a little embarrassed that he seemed to be getting up late.

"It's getting late, and the sun will come out soon. It's better to do the work first than to be behind. And let's do the work at this time, and we can still spend a day in the sun today." An aunt smiled at Gu Siwei.

One of them asked: "Siwei, when will the machine on the machine be installed? Listen to them saying that it will be ready tomorrow, right? If it can be used, our family's food will not be taken to the town to be put on the machine, and it will be used directly." It’s just a matter of chance in our village.”

Before waiting for Gu Siwei to answer, another aunt said: "The machine in the village also needs money."

"That's so fresh, you don't need money to go to the town to board the plane? Why can't the village be willing to give money if it asks for it?" Another aunt said.

When the aunt heard this, she immediately retorted: "I'm not saying that I don't want to give money, but that the folks in the village charge less for the assembly, right? Isn't that right, Siwei?"

As soon as Gu Siwei heard that he was going to be involved in this matter, he immediately smiled and waved his hands and said: "I am in charge of the security machine. As for the collection of money, it has to be decided by the village. Actually, according to me, the collection of money still has to be collected, even if it is It’s the same as the ones in the town, so everyone saves the effort of running, doesn’t it?”

"That's right, what Siwei said is that you have to spend money wherever you go, why not spend the money on the village? If you spend it on the village, it will rot in your own land."

After listening to the aunt who was reluctant to pay, she had no choice but to say: "I'm not saying no, I just want to charge less. It's not easy for everyone to earn money."

"That's true."

Speaking of making money is not easy, a group of aunts and sisters-in-law nodded repeatedly.

Gu Siwei looked at it, and felt that he should finish his meal early and go to the village to toss the machine. Being with a group of women is going to make life difficult for him.

Thinking of this, Gu Siwei came to the stove.

"When can I eat?" Gu Siwei asked Hu Yanqiu and Sicui who were busy.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Today we have to wait a bit. Sicui and I went to pick persimmons in the morning, maybe half an hour at night."

"Then... I'd better go to the village first." Gu Siwei thought about slipping away.

Hu Yanqiu said: "You go at this time, Brother Chuan Wu's family may not be up yet."

"Sister Yanqiu, their house must be awake, which farmer's family dares to sleep at this time, their lights will be on when I come."

A sister-in-law said with a smile when she heard the second half of the sentence.

Sitting next to the stove, Wu Meiling was peeling a persimmon in her hand, and said to Gu Siwei: "Siwei, you'd better go after breakfast, isn't it time for you to catch up with others for dinner?"

"I...forget it".

Originally, Gu Siwei wanted to say that he would go to Liu Fulin's old uncle's house first, but then he thought about it, and now Liu Fulin's old uncle's family, Dezhu, just got married, and he is newlywed, what do he do there?Uncle Liu Fulin might have to stay outside.

Since he had to wait for breakfast, Gu Siwei brought a bench over and sat down to peel persimmons with everyone.

While cutting, Gu Siwei remembered one thing, and said to Sicui: "Sicui, go and ask Yanping to get up, it's time to eat."

Wu Meiling smiled and said, "Forget it, you are the last one to get up, Yanping got up early, and went there early in the morning with a few master craftsmen to trim wood."

"What kind of wood is he going to trim?" Gu Siwei was a little strange.

Hu Yanqiu said: "What else can he do, just play and let him go."

Gu Siwei didn't say anything when he heard it, and continued to peel the persimmons in his hand, and he peeled five or six persimmons. Wu Meiling next to him had already peeled more than a dozen.

"Siwei, you can't cut it well, the butt is a bit big, and the cut on the top is not clean... Hey, forget it, you'd better go on the sidelines, don't let everyone who cuts you have to rework "Wu Meiling glanced at the persimmon Gu Siwei cut out and said.

Gu Siwei looked down, only to realize that the persimmon he was peeling was indeed a bit unqualified, so he smiled and said, "Don't mind me, I just need to rework here. I was thinking about the machine just now, and I forgot about my current work all of a sudden." up".

Finding an excuse, Gu Siwei concentrated on peeling persimmons, and returned to work on some of the ones he had peeled. It was okay to peel them seriously, but it was just a little slow.

"It's time to eat, Siwei, you go ask Uncle Li and the others to come down for dinner. Everyone take a break from the work on their hands. After eating, take a break after eating and everyone will continue to work. Thank you everyone. If it weren't for you, our family would not Do you know how long it will take to finish peeling the persimmons from these two big persimmon trees?" Hu Yanqiu said with a smile to his aunts and sisters-in-law.

"In Siwei's family, the whole tree is picked to make persimmons?" an aunt asked.

Hu Yanqiu thought for a while and said, "Leave a little."

Wu Meiling knew what her aunt meant, so she said to Hu Yanqiu: "Everyone here doesn't pick up all the fruit trees. Some are left for birds and some for small animals. This is the rule left by the elders."

Hu Yanqiu understood now, and said with a smile: "Then we will follow the rules, how much do you usually keep?"

Wu Meiling said: "You can figure it out, we all keep about half of it here."

"Then let's keep a little more, about [-]%, and the two persimmon trees are too much. We picked so many yesterday, and it seems that there are not too many to pick today," Hu Yanqiu said.

"It's not good. If the two persimmon trees behind our house are half of these two, I will be so happy." An aunt praised the persimmon tree in Gu Siwei's house.

Another aunt jokingly said after hearing this: "The tree in your house is only so big, and I almost passed away as grandchildren for these two trees. I said Siwei, how did you find this place?"

Hearing this question, everyone's eyes were on Gu Siwei, and everyone didn't want to find out any secrets, they were just curious.Even if these women in the village are evil-minded, it is impossible for them to insert iron sticks into your rice fields so that the harvesters can't cut them.

Gu Siwei didn't answer, but just said luck.

Seeing that Gu Siwei didn't say anything, everyone didn't ask much, they washed their hands and went to the pot, waiting for dinner.

Everyone knows what to eat this morning, and everyone knows that Gu Siwei's family asks someone to help, and the food will definitely not be too bad, so everyone is happy when waiting for the meal.

What I made this morning were noodles, dried noodles, not hand-rolled noodles. Hu Yanqiu's current level can't support so many people eating together, so what he ordered was dried noodles that he bought.

Gu Siwei actually prefers to eat hand-rolled noodles, mainly because of the chewiness, and the fact that it is not as hard as dried noodles when you eat it, but it will be soft after you leave it, and the hand-rolled noodles can always be controlled in just the right place.

You can't just eat dried noodles. There is also cut luncheon meat in each person's bowl, which is about three or four yuan per person. At this time, the canned luncheon meat is the kind of big round box, and one is half a catty.

In addition to luncheon meat, there are vegetables and so on.

Of course, the main thing is still noodles, and noodles can be added, but there are really not so many luncheon meats, but for the folks at the moment, even if there is no luncheon meat, a meal is still top-notch, because there is a lot of soy sauce on the soup. A layer of lard, this thing is served with noodles, so you still have to pick it up, are you still a person?

Like everyone else, Gu Siwei took a bowl of noodles and squatted down in a place, holding the bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other hand, and sucked the noodles into his mouth.

While eating, from the corner of Gu Siwei's eyes, he saw his brother-in-law sneaking over with a bowl. Looking at his appearance, Gu Siwei knew what he wanted to say.

So Gu Siwei subconsciously moved to the side, and moved to the side of old man Li.

Hu Yanping also noticed his brother-in-law's small movements, and saw him rolling his eyes at Gu Siwei, and then gave Gu Siwei a finger.

"Who... who taught you this?"

Gu Siwei was shocked. After decades, everyone knew about this finger, but few people knew about it at this time. After thinking about it, he felt that he had never erected it before, so Gu Siwei turned his attention to Old Man Yu. On people like Lu Yan who have stayed abroad.

"I saw that you gestured before, but it didn't look like a good thing, so I learned it, and now I see that it is indeed the case," Hu Yanping said.

Gu Siwei moved to the side again, trying to stay as far away from his brother-in-law as possible.

"You kid doesn't learn well, how can you learn well by following him?" Old man Yu saw Hu Yanping's gesture, and after saying something with a smile, he continued to bow his head and suck the noodles in his bowl.

Old man Li also saw it, and he couldn't stop asking what old man Yu meant.

Old Man Yu finally couldn't stand Old Man Li anymore, so he told him what it meant, but Old Man Li was very disappointed.

"I thought it was an ugly word, it's also called an ugly word, it's considered civilized in my hometown." Old man Li glanced at Hu Yanping who was a little proud, sighed after speaking, and shook his head.

What he did made Hu Yanping, who was proud of himself, a bit erect, and finally bowed his head to eat honestly.

Looking at Hu Yanping's appearance at this moment, old man Li couldn't help but twitched his mouth slightly.

Gu Siwei saw it all in his eyes. He understood that at Hu Yanping's age, the more you told him that he couldn't do it, the more he wanted to do it. will do it.

No wonder it is quite possible to lead troops to fight. It turns out that there is still such a hand.

Gu Siwei praised Old Man Li again in his heart.

Originally thought that old man Li was not well-educated, and he relied on a barbaric character to fight. Who would have thought that he was a Neixiu, who had figured out the child's heart. Could this soldier be good at leading.

Once Hu Yanping's episode was over, the meal was uneventful. It was nothing more than a few aunts who were especially good at eating. They ate three bowls of noodles in a row, but in the end it was not enough. So they soaked a dry steamed bun in noodle soup and ate it After that, he wiped his mouth and hiccupped and said he was full.
