Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 33 Factory
After taking the prey, Gu Siwei built a raft and continued down the river.

When we arrived at the gate of our small courtyard, the raft hadn't come to a complete stop yet, so we saw Liu Fulin, Liu Dezhu, and a man in his late thirties anxiously came up to him.

"Why did you come back?"

Seeing Gu Siwei, Liu Fulin greeted him loudly while heading to the shore.

Gu Siwei had no choice but to say: "It took a while to get wild boars."

At this time, Liu Fulin brought the two of them to the shore, and the three of them immediately saw the half-sized wild boar tied to the raft.

"This……".

Such a big wild boar must be followed by a sow. Generally speaking, such a wild boar is not easy to beat, because the situation of the sow protecting the young is still very serious at this time, and the sow will desperately beat the young.

It would not be uncommon to have a gun, but Gu Siwei has nothing. Can he catch such a wild boar with just one hand?
Let alone Liu Fulin, Liu Dezhu and the other man were dumbfounded.

Gu Siwei doesn't care what they think, anyway, he's just sticking with it now: I just got the things back, and I won't talk about anything else.

"This pig can fetch a good price!"

The middle-aged man who followed said while looking at the wild boar who was still humming on the raft.

"Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you."

Liu Fulin has lost his temper now. With such a wild boar as the base, he is not afraid that other teams will snatch the deal. He was originally anxious but now he is as stable as an old dog.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Gu Siwei felt a little strange, that's not what you said a while ago, why did it suddenly change today.

"It's not in a hurry, it's not that everyone has collected some things, thinking that since we are going, we will bring all the things we can exchange..." Liu Fulin explained.

The situation is also simple. At the beginning, Gu Siwei and others were prepared to go, but when the news spread, some people also wanted to change something. It was not a big thing, usually a dried fish, a couple Pounds of dried fruit and the like, change something for home use.

The life of the workers these days is much better than that of the peasants, and the peasants probably only have one glory of being poor, and they don't take anything else.

In addition, the big guys eat and drink together now, but the village is getting poorer and poorer every day, so everyone has to think of other ways in private?You can't just watch your family starve to death.

Moreover, it is far away from the outside world, and some messy things have an impact on the village, but it is really limited, not as strict as the outside world, and this is not allowed and that is not allowed.

To be honest, you can't help this thing no matter how hard it is, what can be more important than filling the stomachs of the whole family.

So each family has a little skill to make a living, but everyone is silent and tacit to each other.

Of course, it's not a fat job, otherwise they wouldn't be so hungry that they wouldn't have four taels of meat all over their bodies. If you want to say that the most powerful person in the village is really Gu Siwei.

Otherwise, Yang Chuanwu and the others wouldn't have given Si Cui to Gu Siwei to support them shamelessly.

"Yo, what is this?"

"Oh, it's some persimmon cakes," Gu Siwei said.

There were a lot of persimmons on the persimmon tree, and the monkey ate some. Gu Siwei picked some more into the space, but he didn’t pay attention for a while. It's as sweet and delicious as a serious persimmon cake, but in this day and age, don't be picky.

"You can make persimmon cakes... Tsk tsk!"

The middle-aged man looked at Gu Siwei’s persimmons, and didn’t know what to say for a while. The skins of other people’s persimmons had to be peeled off. What he saw now, the skins were obviously hanging, and there was no sugar. After drying out, there is no feeling of icing on the feet, and they claim to be dried persimmons.

"It's the first time I don't have experience, just wait until later."

Gu Siwei didn't care either, he didn't want to eat this food because it wasn't very tasty, and it didn't suit Gu Siwei's stomach that had been raised by all kinds of hard work after decades.

Thinking about throwing it is still throwing it, and he was a little reluctant to give it to the monkey, so he thought about getting it in exchange for something.

Just don't bring too much, and the full amount is about [-] catties.

Of course, if it sells well, it may become forty catties, sixty catties, it's all possible.

"Next year, when the persimmons are planted, I will ask your sister-in-law to help you. Her hometown makes these. The country is famous for producing persimmons...".

The middle-aged man is also frank and honest, with no twists and turns in his heart, so he directly gave Gu Siwei the work of persimmons next year to his wife.

Even if he has lived here for a while, Gu Siwei is still a little unaccustomed to this way of speaking. After decades, who has nothing to do to do idle work for his family.

"Thank you then," Gu Siwei also politely said.

"It's all trivial, besides, our family also eats your persimmons, isn't it?" the man laughed.

Gu Siwei didn't know the man's name yet, but soon Liu Fulin and his grandson cleared up Gu Siwei's confusion.

"San Maozi, don't grind your teeth, hurry up and help move the things up," Liu Fulin said.

"Brother Shengshui..." Liu Dezhu said.

As soon as he heard about Shengshui, Gu Siwei knew that Yizhun's surname was Guo, because people in the village were named strictly according to the seniority of each family. .

No need to ask, this is Guo Shengshui. The name is not very good, but it is considered a good name in Shimo Village. There are people named Guo Shengzi. Yes, it means to give birth to a son.

The four of them worked together to carry the things to the shore, and Liu Fulin asked Liu Dezhu to push a wheelbarrow over, so everyone moved the things to the cart and transported them to the wheat drying field at the entrance of the village.

When we arrived at the wheat drying field, it was a lively scene. Almost everyone in the village came to take a breather, and everyone was either holding their hands in their hands or squatting on the stone plate and stone roller to chat.

At the center of all are four animals, two oxen, a mule, and a yelling donkey.

"Hey! Brother Siwei, you have prepared a lot of things."

Seeing that Gu Siwei was carrying something that was almost half a unicycle, someone asked with an envious accent.

"Just a little bit of preparation."

Gu Siwei dealt with it politely.

When the things arrive, they have to be loaded on the backs of the animals.

When it wasn't Gu Siwei's turn to do it, the big guy directly helped Lao Gu tie up the wild boar, and loaded the persimmons on the mules and horses.

About ten minutes later, when everything was ready, Yang Chuanwu reached out and patted the mule's rump, and said to Guo Shengshui: "San Maozi, let's go, be careful on the road, go early and return early, don't delay on the road ".

Guo Shengshui nodded, and responded loudly: "I see, Uncle!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Gu Siwei and the others and said, "Let's go, let's go."

Just following Gu Siwei and Liu Dezhu, four young people in their teens and twenties left the village together and headed towards the factory.

Having been to the town, Gu Siwei was already mentally prepared for the way to the factory, but what Gu Siwei didn't expect was that this road was much easier than the way to the town.

One is that this road passes through several teams, such as the second team, third team, and fifth team are all on this line, and they can rest after walking for two or three hours.

What's more, the road is relatively flat. Occasionally, there are some difficult roads, and it only takes about ten minutes to pass. Unlike going to the town, it takes half an hour to walk on a dangerous road, and it takes a lot of time to climb up and down. physical strength.

The only problem is that the animals walk too slowly. The mules and horses are quite fast, but the old cows can’t go fast. Just like how much water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest piece of wood. The speed is determined by the old cow.

Walking and resting on the road, starting in the evening, just when the sky was dim and bright, a huge factory area appeared in front of Gu Siwei's eyes.

"Oh!"

Standing on the mountainside, Gu Siwei, with his hips crossed, was shocked by what he saw.

The entire valley seemed to be filled with a small city. The living area and production area were divided in an orderly manner. Five or six large chimneys piercing the clouds were emitting pale white gas, and some of them were made of semi-high-speed iron and were emitting flames.

The tube buildings in Yishuier in the family area are almost all the same height, and they only look like five or six floors.

"How about it, isn't this factory beautiful?"

Seeing Gu Siwei's appearance, Guo Shengshui asked with a smile.

Gu Siwei glanced at him and nodded casually. What kind of factory has he never seen?He used to work in a factory, but he had never seen a ravine full of factories, and the planning was still as neat as a chessboard.

Gu Siwei didn't know that most of the valuable factories in the country have been transferred to the deep mountains. There is no way. There are too many enemies in the world. If they are placed in the plains and cities, these factories are too vulnerable to enemy firepower. It was hit, so the country can only move them to the depths of this mountain.

"Let's go, don't look at it, wait until the things are changed, you can look at some of them," Guo Shengshui said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Guo Shengshui sipped at the old cow next to him.

"Oh~! Let's go."

The twig in his hand fell gently on the back of the old cow, and the old cow with a heavy load walked forward slowly, step by step into the city in the valley.
