Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

324 Mixed reactions
After hearing this, Zhou Lanbing turned to Liu Dezhu and said, "Look, Brother Siwei thinks so too. Why do you only believe in death?"

Liu Dezhu laughed awkwardly.

Gu Siwei shook his head as he watched.

"Okay, let's talk about it in the village." Gu Siwei smiled at the couple, and pulled the oar inserted into the water back to the boat. Without the resistance of the oar, the speed of the boat downstream gradually increased.

As soon as he entered the village, Gu Siwei saw his daughter-in-law and several women standing on the river bank chatting.

Seeing this, Gu Siwei directly leaned the boat to her side.

"What a coincidence, I was going to find you." Gu Siwei smiled at Hu Yanqiu as soon as he pulled the boat to the shore.

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu replied: "What a coincidence, we saw a boat lowered from above, and we knew it was you at a glance, so we specially waited for you here.

By the way, how did the two of you meet him? "

The latter sentence was naturally directed at Liu Dezhu's young couple who parked beside their own boat.

"Sister-in-law Yanqiu, we have made some tofu and want to give it to everyone to try and see how it goes?" Zhou Lanbing smiled at Hu Yanqiu, and at the same time pointed his finger at the cabin.

At this time, Gu Siwei discovered that there was a basket in the cabin, a woven bamboo basket, which was quite large, with a diameter of about 1.2 meters and a cover on it, but everyone stretched out their fingers, and it must be filled with tofu. .

Zhou Lanbing's call Yanqiu's sister-in-law stunned the aunts and sisters-in-law standing next to Hu Yanqiu. Everyone knows that Zhou Lanbing usually doesn't like to talk. The kind of dry greeting, why did you suddenly make tofu for everyone today?

Just when a group of sisters-in-law and aunts felt strange, Zhou Lanbing moved out the tofu basket in the cabin by himself. Liu Dezhu, who has always loved his wife, did not help at this time. It's better to go.

"I said it would be two catties, take some back and fry it with garlic at noon," Gu Siwei said to his wife.

Gu Siwei saw the embarrassing expression on Liu Dezhu's face. Although his brain circuit is a bit different from others, he is not really stupid, but his reaction is a little slow. As long as he is not really stupid, he will understand the situation now. Not the same.

Some people may say, why should I give away something that people have made with their own money and effort?
There is really nothing wrong with this statement, and there is nothing wrong with it wherever it is put. It is 100% correct.

But you have to decide where to put it. You and the folks, the folks who came here hand in hand when the Zhuangzi was poor, are you clear about this?

If you really want to break it off, you will lose all the favors.

If you want to say that you don't need others in the future, then you have nothing to say!But how is it possible, especially the people here in the sixth team, if they don't support each other to live, everyone will die in this ravine, let alone live for so many generations.

After Hu Yanqiu looked at it, he took two steps, stretched out his hand to help Zhou Lanbing, took the basket, and the two of them carried it to the shore together.

After putting it down, Zhou Lanbing took off the lid of the basket.

When the lid of the basket was lifted, the aunts and sisters-in-law were stunned, because there was a scale on top of the tofu gauze.

What does it mean?
As long as there is no brain problem, you can guess it, so the expressions on the faces of the aunts and sisters-in-law are quite interesting.

Ma Chunya turned her head and saw her eldest son playing not far away, so she said: "You little dog, I told you not to play there, why are you so disobedient?……".

Ma Chunya cursed and walked quickly towards her son. After walking a few steps, she bent down and picked up a branch on the ground, held it in her hand and continued to curse at her son.

The kid was stunned by Ma Chunya's scolding. The kid didn't know why his mother went crazy all of a sudden, and he didn't say he couldn't play here. If he couldn't play here, where should he go?

Naturally, Ma Chunya didn't want to scold her son, she was just looking for an excuse so that she wouldn't feel a little embarrassed standing by and not buying a piece of tofu.

Don't say that she doesn't care about the price of a piece of tofu. She Ma Chunya can confidently pat her chest and say that she cares about this little money. The elderly and children in the family have food and clothing, and it doesn't cost money at all. The whole family only earns a few dollars a year. Gather a few buckets of grain.

Besides, isn't it just tofu? As long as you are not a lazy woman in the village, the daughter-in-law will not know how to make this thing. If you don't know how to make it, you will be laughed at to death.

Oh, it is estimated that Siwei's daughter-in-law can't.

But people have a good life, they were born to enjoy the blessings, they were born in the city, married to a farmer, and they are Siwei brothers, let alone they don’t know how to make tofu, even if they don’t know how to cook, they won’t be hungry people.

People are different, reincarnation depends on fate!

Ma Chunya thought so.

The other aunts and sisters-in-law saw it, okay, this Sun Laibao's daughter-in-law is really smart, and she slipped away quietly, and she had to think about how to slip away, because beating children can't be used, so they sacrificed one after another. Got up, water is boiling on the pot at home, did I spoil something just now?

In short, in less than a minute, the seven or eight aunts and sisters-in-law who had surrounded Hu Yanqiu were now only Hu Yanqiu running away.

Zhou Lanbing was a little embarrassed.

Hu Yanqiu took a look here, stretched out his hand to cover the tofu, that is, pressed twice on the gauze that shaped the tofu, and felt that it was quite hard, so he lifted the gauze and looked at the tofu inside.

The tofu is all handmade, and it is still made in brine. As soon as the lid is lifted, there is a smell of beans.

The tofu is not too white, and there is a little gray in the white. This is normal. If the tofu is really too white and too white, it must be something else.

"Siwei, come and see how well this tofu is made!" Hu Yanqiu praised.

Hearing Hu Yanqiu's praise, Zhou Lanbing felt a little better in embarrassment. He opened his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, I got up to cook at two o'clock in the morning. The pot just out of the pot is still hot."

Hu Yanqiu smiled and said: "I see, your craftsmanship is really good, this tofu is really good."

He said to Gu Siwei: "Two catties is not enough, five catties, five catties...forget it, a little more, eight catties, and make tofu dilong for everyone at night!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhou Lanbing: "Give me eight catties".

While talking, Hu Yanqiu put his hand into his pocket, and when he took it out, there was a brown wallet in his hand.

Zhou Lanbing was immediately attracted by the wallet in Hu Yanqiu's hand, and opened his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, your wallet is so pretty."

"Oh, Gu Siwei bought it when he went to the street." Hu Yanqiu said with a smile.

If Gu Siwei didn't bring it to her from Hong Kong, if she bought it herself, she wouldn't mind giving the wallet to Zhou Lanbing, but now this thing has a different meaning to her, so naturally there is no reason to give it away.

Zhou Lanbing didn't want it either, but he really thought it looked good, so he just opened his mouth to say it.

"Give me eight catties," Hu Yanqiu said.

Zhou Lanbing's work here is still very quick. He took the scale and weighed eight catties of tofu for Hu Yanqiu, and the tofu he gave was also high. If the scale is caught by someone, that person will abandon the scale, and if the scale is abandoned, if you still beat someone, then you can't talk about business, and people can't do it anymore.

Hu Yanqiu counted the money out of her pocket, and she didn’t ask how much a catty of tofu was. Instead, she gave it at the price on the factory street. This price is impossible. It’s impossible for farmers to go to the factory to sell their own tofu. There is this price.

Zhou Lanbing declined and said: "It's too much, I can't ask for so much. Besides, this time I want to let everyone taste it. If it tastes good, I will continue to make it in the future. If it doesn't taste good, I won't make it...".

Zhou Lanbing explained.

Explaining this is just an explanation. It is obviously impossible to fool Hu Yanqiu and Gu Siwei with these words. You brought the scales, and you said this?
Hu Yanqiu said with a smile: "You don't grow beans yourself, so there's no reason to give them away! With the money, the tofu looks good to me, and I'll just look for you when I eat it."

Zhou Lanbing pushed twice, and finally took the money, but still didn't want more, so he only took the price she set.

Gu Siwei looked at his daughter-in-law with a smile throughout the whole process, seeing that she insisted on giving the money, he couldn't help giving her a thumbs up in his heart.

It stands to reason that Hu Yanqiu has the right to be unhappy, why do you say that, your family's land is all given to your family, and now you and I are counting tofu money?Then let's do the math first?
Most people certainly think so, and most people do too, and there's nothing wrong with thinking that way.

But the pattern is a bit worse. The land given by Gu Siwei is actually equivalent to a kindness, the kindness that Uncle Liu Fulin brought back to him.

You can't just see that you have given people land, but you can't see that you have also been favored by others.Although it is impossible for Gu Siwei to hang in the wild without Liu Fulin, but love is love without if.

From Hu Yanqiu's expression, Gu Siwei didn't see this, so he felt that his daughter-in-law was really grand.

So my heart became more and more happy.

Marrying a good daughter-in-law will benefit three generations, this is really not for nothing.

If the hostess is grand and well-organized, the home will be safe, and it will be easier to raise good children if the home is peaceful.

Of course, the child's priority may not be true for Gu Siwei. In terms of life, Hu Yanqiu's three views at the moment are also consistent with Gu Siwei.

Combination of three views, congenial personality, it is obvious that he is rushing to live his life, this feeling Gu Siwei likes very much.

"Sister-in-law, I've accepted the money." Zhou Lanbing took the money and was polite with Hu Yanqiu.

Hu Yanqiu said: "What are you talking about, your beans and your hard work are worth the money!"

After speaking, he chatted with Zhou Lanbing again, and then jumped onto the boat with the tofu in hand.

Seeing his daughter-in-law boarding the boat, Gu Siwei reached out to take the tofu from her daughter-in-law's hand and put it in the cabin.

"You are busy here, we are going home."

Throwing a sentence at Liu Dezhu and his wife, Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu drove home by boat.
