Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 319

Waiting for Hu Yanqiu to return home in the afternoon, Gu Siwei mentioned his arrangement to his wife.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu said: "Bring some salted duck eggs to Master Xu. Last time, Aunt Xu said that our salted duck eggs are well salted. It's just a jar. Just bring twenty or thirty of them when you go over." .

"When did it happen?" Gu Siwei was a little surprised.

Hu Yanqiu didn't understand. He looked at Gu Siwei in a daze and asked, "When did it happen? What did you say, please make it clear."

"I mean, when did Lao Xu's family taste our salted duck eggs?" Gu Siwei asked.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu reached out and tapped Gu Siwei's head: "Why is your memory so bad? Didn't you go to Master Xu's house last time to give him salted duck eggs?"

"Is there?" Gu Siwei couldn't remember a little bit, scratched his head and thought for a while, but couldn't remember at all, maybe it was because too many people gave it away, and too many things were given away, and some things were not remembered.

"Then when did he say it was delicious?"

Gu Siwei said again: "It seems that you haven't been to the factory for a while."

Hu Yanqiu said: "I didn't go, but someone will come back, do you think you are the only one Mr. Xu knows here?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Siwei really couldn't figure it out, who else in the village would someone like Lao Xu know.

After thinking about it again, Gu Siwei remembered, and blurted out: "Guo Shengshui?"

Hu Yanqiu replied with a smile: "The brain is not completely broken."

"As I said, he explained it clearly. This old Xu is really, the gift is not enough, and now I have to ask for it." Gu Siwei laughed and said jokingly.

Hu Yanqiu said: "It's not just for things, Mr. Xu sent over some of their goslings, more than a dozen."

"Why didn't I notice?" Gu Siwei thought for a while, and at the same time looked towards the poultry house.

At this time, Li Fanghai happened to come over with a bowl and came to the pot to serve himself. Hearing Gu Siwei's words, he joked and said: "How can you remember that when people give you things, they forget quickly, but you have to give them things. Guaranteed you can still remember ten or eight years of time."

Gu Siwei didn't take it seriously, and opened his mouth to answer him: "Isn't that a matter of course? I am a normal person. I am not like you. I still remember giving someone a punch."

Li Fanghai reached out and tapped Gu Siwei, laughed a few times, concealed his embarrassment, and went to serve his own food.

About Li Fanghai's matter, that's a lot of fun. What happened in the war before, because of something, there was a small conflict with the friendly general on the opposite side. Li Fanghai punched him, and it turned out that Li Fanghai was wrong and he was right. It's a pity What's more, the two never met again. He always wanted to apologize, but he never had the chance, and it was even more impossible now. The two were separated by the sea.

Hu Yanqiu smiled, turned around and was about to leave.

"What are you going to do?"

Gu Siwei said: "The matter is not over yet."

Hu Yanqiu said: "I'll talk about anything later, I'll go get the duck eggs first, just in time to boil water and cook them together."

"You can really save trouble, what are you going to do with the water for boiling duck eggs?" Gu Siwei said to his wife with a smile.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Feed the pigs, the family has brought so much bran back home, if you don't feed the pigs, what will you feed, and Da Mao won't eat it."

Gu Siwei couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Hey Da Mao, you really think about it, can Da Mao eat that thing? Who came up with such a good idea?"

Gu Siwei thought this idea was really stupid, how did the bear eat bran come up with it?

Hu Yanqiu pointed at the door of the hut, which means that your sister Sicui thought it up, let me see what you have to say.

"It turned out that Sicui came up with it. This idea is creative!"

Gu Siwei's face is really seven or two layers of walls with twists and turns. When he heard about the method his sister came up with, he immediately praised it.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, which means you are really shameless.

Gu Siwei was not ashamed but proud, and he was a little bit complacent with a smile, which made Hu Yanqiu a little bit at a loss for what to say.

"I'm going to get duck eggs! Oh, by the way, if you have time, pick up some duck eggs tomorrow morning, and I'm going to pickle some more tomorrow," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei asked: "Didn't you say that you marinated two jars last time, and you finished eating so soon?"

Hu Yanqiu said: "It's not like our family eats. Uncle Fulin's house, sister-in-law Wu's house, and people in the village who get along well always give some away. They all give us things, and we have to go back to others. Is there too much, a family of ten or so must have something.”

When Gu Siwei heard this, he said: "This way of giving away, even if there is a mountain of gold in the family, I have to give it away."

Hu Yanqiu smiled and said: "Look at your stinginess, you are really brothers and sisters with Sicui."

"Okay, I'll go pick up duck eggs." Gu Siwei was about to go to work.

Hu Yanqiu saw it and said: "It's getting late now, let's pick it up tomorrow morning, it will be dark soon, and there will be nothing to see there."

"Tomorrow morning?" Gu Siwei thought for a while and asked, "Is it still far away?"

"It's not too far away. Anyway, it's all grass flowers and squares pulling the boat. It will be there in a while, but it's dark and it's a bit difficult to climb. Both duck eggs and goose eggs are laid on a cliff... Forget it, you will know when you get there tomorrow. Let Sicui take you there, I'm afraid you haven't been there yet," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei nodded. Gu Siwei had never been to the place Hu Yanqiu mentioned. He had been there once before, where ducks and geese laid their eggs in the grass by the river.

"The old grass is gone?"

Thinking of this, Gu Siwei asked a question.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Ducks and geese are not stupid. Their eggs are always eaten. They have to change places. If they still lay eggs in one place, then there is something wrong with their brains. Do you think they are the same as you?"

After hearing this, Gu Siwei started to play with treasures, and made one hand into a character horoscope, standing under his chin, his eyes quickly turned left and right, looking very funny.

"What's wrong with me, look at my mental head, how can I look a little stupid."

Seeing him, Hu Yanqiu stretched out his hand and thumped Gu Siwei's chest lightly: "What are you making a face for, I'm going to pick up duck eggs."

"I'll go with you." After Gu Siwei finished speaking, he entered the room before Hu Yanqiu took a bamboo basket and carried it on his shoulder.

With a sweet face on Hu Yanqiu's face, the two walked side by side towards the storage cave on the other side of the slope.

At the entrance of the cave, Gu Siwei moved the big wooden door.

Hu Yanqiu said at this time: "This door has to be rebuilt. Every time I come here, I have to ask the Master to help me move it. It is too heavy."

"It's not easy, everything can be moved away, what can be put in it?" Gu Siwei said with a smile.

After speaking, after thinking for a while, Gu Siwei said again: "When I have time, I will repair the hole here, find some cement and make a stronger door when I have time."

"It's not strong enough? If you don't know, you might think that we have hidden a mountain of gold in it. How could you imagine that they are all worthless things. The most valuable thing is probably the salted duck eggs, ha ha ha!"

Having said that, Hu Yanqiu laughed.

"How can you say that? These are all things that can fill your stomach. The two most valuable things in this world are food and drink. With these two things, people can live. So, don't look at us It seems worthless in the storage hole, but it's full of treasures."

Gu Siwei started talking nonsense here.

Hu Yanqiu listened to Zhile, she just likes Gu Siwei's out-of-shape appearance, which makes her happy from the bottom of her heart every time.

When she was happy, Hu Yanqiu's heart couldn't help but tugged again. She felt that she was very happy now, but sometimes the happier she was, the more unhappy things she could think of. At this moment, Hu Yanqiu subconsciously reached out and covered her stomach with her palm, but Soon Hu Yanqiu came to his senses and put his hand down again.

The expression on his face flashed, and in an instant he became happy again.

Gu Siwei really didn't notice his daughter-in-law. He was having fun here, and opened the door of the storage cave. Gu Siwei reached out and touched it. There was still a flashlight where the lamp was originally placed.

I turned on the switch in my hand, and found that the flashlight was not on. I reached out and patted it twice, and then tightened the battery cover tightly, and the flashlight turned on again.

"Be sure to remind me next time, go to the store and buy a flashlight and come back, this thing really can't be used," Gu Siwei said.

Hu Yanqiu replied: "Whatever to buy, it's just a little bad contact, I'll take it back tomorrow and fix it."

"You repair this thing? You are really capable, awesome!"

He just praised his daughter-in-law.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Where do I know how to repair, Yan Pingxiu."

"Is he still doing this?"

In Gu Siwei's impression, his brother-in-law can do other things except for his business, and he never thought that he would repair things.

Gu Siwei can also do this, but he doesn't want to do it, because the flashlight is old and the cover on the back is a little rusty, Gu Siwei wants to replace it with a new one.You have money in your pocket, why waste this time.

Hu Yanqiu said: "I don't know how many things I have messed with since I was a child, and these little things will be repaired long ago."

Speaking of which, Hu Yanqiu took the flashlight from Gu Siwei's hand, came to the jar of salted duck eggs and squatted down.

Gu Siwei walked to her side and reached out to help.

The jar is not small, about sixty centimeters high, with a big belly and a small mouth, a bit like an enlarged version of a plum vase, but it is made of pottery, but the pottery is very close to porcelain, and the firing temperature is quite high.

This thing was presented by Song Rui, and it was one of the batches that Song Rui sent over later. It has a big belly and a small mouth, and the small mouth has a lid, which is very suitable for pickling pickled vegetables, and the small lid is easy to seal.

This thing is good, but the sales volume is not very good. The reason is that the mouth is very labor-intensive. One piece is a few cents more expensive than the one without the lid. It is only a few cents, which makes the sales of this thing not very good. The folks are very careful. For those who live a life, what do you think they will choose for a few cents more and a cloth tied at the mouth of the altar?
Of course it was Zhabu, Zhabu just took a little effort, a few cents is real money!
For Song Rui, who works in a pottery factory, it is very convenient to take this thing.It's really not stolen, it's distributed in the factory, and if it can't be sold, it should be distributed as a welfare.

Others don't want it, someone who works in a ceramics factory lacks this, so Song Rui borrowed flowers to present Buddha and gave it to Gu Siwei's family.
