Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 339 The Taste of Life

After talking with Yang Chuanwu for about half an hour, Gu Siwei went home.

When it was time to eat, Gu Siwei said to everyone, "Tell me something."

Everyone just picked up the bowl, and they stood up deliberately when they saw Gu Siwei talking, so they looked at Gu Siwei with great interest.

Yu Yingzhi saw that Gu Siwei paused for a few seconds without further words, so he said, "If you have anything to say, it's hard to speak. Could it be that you want to drive us away?"

Everyone knew that Yu Yingzhi was joking, but everyone's hearts tightened unanimously.

The life here is now much better than before. In the past, everyone has endured hardships, lived in a barn, and endured fists from others, but what is the situation now? There is meat, and you can drink a little wine every now and then. As for cigarettes, they are even available.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is open, but everyone can draw half a bag every day.

This is already quite good treatment, and even if there is no cigarette left, don’t there still be tobacco leaves, and then use the homework book that Sicui used, why not deal with it the same way?
Don't think it hurts your mouth, most people can't ask for such a hard life, and a lot of people will be envious of just eating enough.

Gu Siwei gave Yu Yingzhi a hygienic eye: "Others can stay, but you old man Yu must go, because you talk too much and are not liked."

Hahaha.

Others were not happy, but Yu Yingzhi laughed happily.

"Speaking of business, don't you have a letter of introduction sent here, haven't you lost it?" Gu Siwei said sternly to the crowd.

"I didn't throw it away, but what do you want this for?" Li Fanghai didn't know what Gu Siwei was going to do, so he asked curiously.

Gu Siwei said: "What else to do, of course I will ask you for rations, or else I can? I can't marry you."

"You little idiot, what kind of wife did we marry at such an old age?" Yu Yingzhi said happily.

The others also followed suit, everyone here really felt relaxed and happy, even Zhou Guangxian, who had always been ashen-faced, twitched the corners of his mouth at this moment.

Li Fanghai interfaced and said: "It's okay to marry a daughter-in-law, but marry a younger one."

"If you are younger, I will call you someone who can sit on the ground for more than 50, and we will be able to eat your seat in less than three months," Gu Siwei said.

Everyone spends a lot of time with Gu Siwei, and they are no strangers to the word eating banquet. Of course, they know what eating banquet means, so everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about business." Yu Yingzhi felt that this matter was a bit far-fetched, but it was still business, and he was also curious about how Gu Siwei would ask them for their rations.

To be honest, everyone has some opinions on this matter, but they are still afraid to ask for it, and they all know that even if they ask for it, they will not be able to. This is not the time for them to be in their seats. They don’t care what they say now. use.

The more this is the case, the more I feel indebted to Gu Siwei's family.Yes, the conditions of Gu Siwei's family are good, but no matter how good the family's conditions are, it is not theirs. They live here for free, what do you think, and they also have rations.

Gu Siwei said: "The thing is like this, Zhao Minglan was caught and raped, and now I don't know what will happen. She has gone down here, and a newcomer has come up. I have to try my luck no matter what. You can’t get your rations back, even if it’s incomplete, [-]% or [-]% is still a thing, isn’t it?”

"That's it!"

Li Fanghai smiled and said: "I said, how dare you ask for things now, boy, it turns out that Zhao Minglan is out of luck."

"I dare to ask for her if she is not unlucky, but, alas, why tell you this, you are so ugly, how can you empathize with the troubles of a handsome man like me?"

Speaking of Gu Siwei, he deliberately sighed.

Li Fanghai blew his beard angrily: "You are taller. Let me put it this way. I was much more handsome than you when I was young. I am a famous handsome man in our column...".

Li Fanghai boasted a lot, and the people around him were overjoyed.

As far as Li Fanghai looks like now, he won't look much better after decades of ups and downs. At this time, he is not fat, and it may be said that he is so fat that he is out of shape, so the young old Li Fanghai decades ago will not look much better.

Yu Yingzhi reached out his hand to stop Li Fanghai's nonsense: "Talk about the business, why did you digress again while talking. Siwei, you continue to talk."

"What are you talking about? It's all over. Everyone, find out the letter of introduction that sent you here. I'll bring it here to ask for food, so it's over. What else can I say?"

Gu Siwei looked at Yu Yingzhi strangely.

Yu Yingzhi was a little confused by Gu Siwei, and after a while he said: "Forget it, I might have to talk for half an hour or something based on this posture, who knew that you took off your pants here, and instantly Bring it up again."

"I said, old man Yu, you are addicted to meetings, and you brought your old tricks here?" Lu Yan smiled at Yu Yingzhi.

Lu Yan is now under the influence of Gu Siwei, and his speech is a bit unreasonable, but everyone lives together, and it should be like this.

Yu Yingzhi said: "Ghosts like to have meetings. When they have a meeting, they talk about shit and talk a lot, and most of the time they don't make sense."

"Eat, eat, eat after talking, you will be sick if you don't eat while it's hot in such a cold day." Li Fanghai picked up the bowl and brought it to his mouth.

He took a bite out of the rice, reached out and picked up the small bowl of soup next to him, opened his mouth and sucked it in, and a bowl of soup was already in his stomach.

The soup bowl was empty, and Li Fanghai took the soup bowl to the side of the pot.

Si Cui was serving rice, seeing this, she immediately put down the bowl in her hand and helped Li Fanghai make another bowl of soup.

"I don't want the bones, just give me the soup, and give me some corn on the cob, let alone put it in the soup and cook it, it's much more delicious than eating dry corn."

Today's soup is stewed yam with big bones. In addition to yam, there are some corn cobs. They are not boiled whole, but cut into pieces and put into the pot to stew.

The soup is not the fruit corn of later generations, or sticky corn, but the corn that is common now, but the stewing time is long, and it is still okay to eat.

There is enough pepper in the soup, and when the bowl of hot soup goes down, little sweat drips out. It really makes people feel comfortable from head to toe to deal with such weather.

According to Li Fanghai's request, Sicui filled a bowl full for the old man.

"Why don't I change a big bowl for you, Grandpa Li?" Sicui saw that what she put out was a bit too much, but the bowl was a bit small.

Li Fanghai replied: "No need, no need, you really treat me like a grandfather, this is enough."

"Aren't you?"

You Xugang said with a smile.

Now You Xugang has also begun to integrate into it, and he has been able to make such jokes with Li Fanghai, which proves that You Xugang's artist temper is slowly recovering.As for returning to the previous state, it is impossible. I can only say that it is easier to let go than when I first came here.

"You should care about your own work, what are you doing all day?" Li Fanghai said with a smile.

You Xugang said: "This is what I call slow work and careful work."

"Stop talking nonsense, you're just a foreign worker." Lu Yan also turned to his friend.

Gu Siwei didn't speak, he was eating with his head down, thinking while eating.

Seeing Gu Siwei's appearance, Hu Yanqiu asked softly, "What are you thinking?"

"I wonder if this corn can taste better," Gu Siwei said.

Eating corn on the cob, Gu Siwei felt that the taste was a bit bad. For Hu Yanqiu, who has not eaten corn for decades and has developed countless flavors, this thing is already satisfying, but how could it be possible for Gu Siwei? Feel delicious.

Although this method was learned from Gu Siwei, Hu Yanqiu is the one who likes to use it the most. She thinks the corn on the cob cooked in this way is really delicious in the world.

"How delicious is this?" Hu Yanqiu said.

"Sweeter, more sticky, or a fruity flavor," Gu Siwei said.

Sicui asked curiously: "Corn also has fruit flavor? What kind of fruit? Is it grapes?"

Si Cui kept asking questions.

Gu Siwei said with a smile: "You can have whatever flavor you want."

"Your boy will be able to catch the little girl, Sicui, don't listen to his nonsense, there is no fruit-flavored corn, corn tastes like corn, and fruit tastes like fruit. If you can't distinguish between the two, then it's not that the corn has become a fruit, and the fruit is by the way. Has it turned into corn? Playing the piano randomly, I feel messy when I talk about it now."

Yu Yingzhi said.

Si Cui immediately retorted: "Grandpa Yu, what my brother said must be true, there must be something in the world."

"Hey, my sister is still here, don't worry, after a few decades, everyone will be able to eat it," Gu Siwei said happily.

Yu Yingzhi curled his lips when he heard this, obviously not believing it: "Anyway, I will be dead by then, and it has nothing to do with me whether I eat or not."

"You can also wait until you want to die before you live a hundred years old. Is that so easy?" Gu Siwei said to Yu Yingzhi.

After listening to the music for a few times, Yu Yingzhi suddenly lost interest and muttered: "What are you doing at this old age, people are tired of ghosts, and it's almost the same when you are old."

The people here, the youngest is over 40, they naturally feel a little emotional when they hear Yu Yingzhi's words, not to mention that everyone's situation is similar, they are alone here, and their families are scattered all over the place. Got some taste.

"It's already very good, don't be dissatisfied."

You Xu just saw that everyone was in a bad mood, so he reminded everyone that this is already the best place he has ever stayed.

"Too!"

Everyone hid their original mood and laughed.

Gu Siwei thought about the corn until he lay down on the bed.

As soon as he fell asleep, Gu Siwei forgot about the corn.

After staying at home for a day, Gu Siwei took a group of people's things and walked slowly to the county seat.
