Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 375 Emergency

After arriving at the market, Gu Siwei found that the fellow villagers who came out to sell things today had nothing serious in their hands, either radishes or Chinese cabbage, or fish from the river, and most of them were all kinds of homemade pickles , the only green goods are green onions, garlic and so on, and there are not many of them.

Seeing this scene, Gu Siwei missed the greenhouse a little bit, and missed the life decades later when he could eat all kinds of vegetables in winter.

"Sell chives!"

Gu Siwei was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone yelling.

As soon as he heard that there were chives, Gu Siwei was immediately attracted to him. When he walked over to take a look, he found a bundle of chives in front of the middle-aged man.

The chives that are serious are still fresh, very fresh and tender, the chives are very clean and there is no soil at all, not to mention the soil, there is not even a drop of water, it is dry and refreshing.

"How do you sell chives?"

Gu Siwei squatted down immediately, reached out and took a chive to try it out.

"Nine cents a catty, if you want them all, I'll give you three yuan for these chives," said the middle-aged man.

When Gu Siwei heard that it was three yuan, Gu Siwei, who had been smothered by the prices in the Hong Kong market and didn't know the prices here, immediately said, "Give it all to me."

Talking about taking money out of your own pocket.

At this time, Sicui came over to stop his brother from being stupid: "Brother, what kind of food is more expensive than inside? Pork is only [-] cents a catty these days, and leeks cost [-] cents?"

The middle-aged man was about to clean up. Hearing what the little girl Sicui said, he explained: "Little girl, there is a lot of meat in the market, and there is a ticket. Where can I find fresh chives at this time? Don't worry." It is said to be ninety cents a catty, but if it is in the county, my leeks are sold for at least one yuan a catty, and for three yuan, look at these, at least three catties and seven or eight taels.”

Gu Siwei saw that the middle-aged man stopped, and immediately raised his head to signal him to continue to pack the chives for himself, and at the same time said to the girl: "It's more expensive, I will take it back and make a chives dumpling for your sister-in-law later. Now, it is not easy to grow chives, maybe they are grown near a hot spring on the mountain.”

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, the middle-aged man who was about to clean up the leeks for Gu Siwei couldn't help but startled, and said awkwardly to Gu Siwei: "This young man can really joke!"

Gu Siwei glanced at the middle-aged man, and knew that he might have told the middle-aged man's secret just by saying this.

At this time, how many people in the countryside know how to grow off-season vegetables at this time? Although things like greenhouses existed in the Qing Dynasty, how could ordinary people pay such a high price for a bite of vegetables in winter.Therefore, at least the mountain people here do not know that off-season vegetables can be grown near the hot springs.

Moreover, this kind of hot spring is almost all in the old forest, and it is not easy to grow things in this place. Otherwise, why would Gu Siwei think that nine cents a catty is cheap.

Seeing that Gu Siwei smiled and said nothing, the middle-aged man only charged Gu Siwei [-] yuan when he received the money, and asked Gu Siwei [-] cents less. It was Gu Siwei's gratitude for not continuing to publicize his little secret.

Taking the chives, Gu Siwei returned to Hu Yanqiu's side and showed off to his wife.

Hu Yanqiu knew her husband's character, and the family didn't lack any money anyway, so he didn't say that Gu Siwei spent three yuan to buy chives.

On the way, Hu Yanqiu got off the sled and went to the factory with Sicui and Hu Yanping, while Gu Siwei drove the sled to the empty yard that Xu Congwen had introduced before.

After walking for about five or six minutes, he found a place where no one was around. Gu Siwei took the big green mule and the sled into the space, turned around and trotted after his wife.

If you want to catch up with your wife, it's best to take a shortcut at this time.

Gu Siwei turned into the alley, ready to intercept his wife from the front.

Who knew that while walking, he found that there was an open space in front of him, and there were several army cars parked on it. If it was an ordinary army car, Gu Siwei would just look at it and walk away at most. He had nothing to do to interfere with the army What to do, besides, even if Gu Siwei wants to interfere, his troops should be happy.

Just when Gu Siwei was about to make a detour, a voice stopped him.

"Gu Siwei!"

As soon as Gu Siwei heard it, he knew it was his cheap apprentice, that is, Qiao Qisheng, Qiao Yitong's old man.

Stopping in his tracks, Gu Siwei asked Qiao Qisheng who was walking over, "Why are you here?"

Come with Qiao Qisheng, there is also a soldier about forty years old, wearing a green military uniform, walking steadily, one can tell that he is not a young officer.

"I still want to ask you, why are you here, oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you one more thing, is there any way for you to enter the mountain now?"

Seeing Gu Siwei, Qiao Qisheng opened his mouth and said directly.

Gu Siwei said: "Going into the mountains, isn't that easy? I just came back from the mountains, why are you asking this question?"

Gu Siwei told others that this trip was all about going into the mountains to dig for goods, so he can't change his mind when facing Qiao Qisheng, besides, Qiao Yitong is doing well with Zhao Fangming now, if two people meet each other , If you mention it inconsistently, it is easy to misunderstand.

Snapped!
Qiao Qisheng patted his thigh: "Why did I forget about you?"

Gu Siwei was a little confused, and just about to open his mouth to ask, he saw Qiao Qisheng smiling at the officer next to him and said, "Old Di, let me introduce you. This is the master of my son Yitong. His surname is Gu, and his name is Siwei. An old hunter, he provided a lot of wild game in the canteen of the factory over there, if someone is looking for someone to enter the mountain at this time, he can really be counted as the number one person... ".

Hearing Qiao Qisheng boast fiercely to him, Gu Siwei knew that this matter might be a bit troublesome.

Sure enough, when Qiao Qisheng introduced Gu Siwei in this way, the middle-aged officer immediately held Gu Siwei's hand: "That's really great!"

Not only did he hold it, but he shook it vigorously.

In an instant, Gu Siwei felt the power in the hands of the middle-aged officer.

"what happened?"

Gu Siwei looked at Qiao Qisheng with a puzzled expression and asked.

Just as Qiao Qisheng was about to speak, the middle-aged officer said anxiously: "We are now planning to find someone who can enter the mountain, and go in and send some supplies to the radar station in the mountain."

Gu Siwei knew about the radar station, so he asked Qiao Qisheng, "That friend of yours...".

"Yes, do you still remember him? Li Zhengda, yes, he is in the radar station now. Besides him, there are more than 100 officers and soldiers. He has been trapped in the mountains for almost half a month now, so there is an urgent need for someone to bring supplies to him. send it up".

When Qiao Qisheng heard that Gu Siwei thought of Li Zhengda, he immediately opened his mouth to talk about the situation of the radar station.

"Haven't you considered the current situation?"

Gu Siwei was a little confused, and thought to himself: When you built a radar station in the mountains, didn't you think about the day when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow and the supplies could not be transported?I do not believe!

The middle-aged officer said: "We thought about it, but our ideas didn't change quickly. We really didn't expect that the weather this year would be so abnormal. The snow in the mountains would be less than half a month at a time, and the mountain road we originally opened has been closed due to heavy snow these days. It was sealed, so the supplies that could have gone up could not go up.”

A brief explanation was almost equivalent to no explanation for Gu Siwei.

It is also impossible for the middle-aged officer to tell Gu Siwei that our side is rushing to build a radar station, so these issues have not been considered in a big way.

Let alone them, Qiao Qisheng, who has lived here for so many years, didn't know that the snow in the mountains would be so heavy this year, and he didn't expect it to happen. How can you make people think about it? Only a god can think of it.

"Can you go into the mountain?" Qiao Qisheng asked after talking about the location of the radar station.

When Gu Siwei heard that so many soldiers were trapped, he was naturally happy. In Gu Siwei's heart, whether it is decades later or now, these soldiers are the cutest people.

But it's not good for him to just walk away. His daughter-in-law is pregnant, so he let go and ran into the mountains. This is a bit outrageous.

Seeing Gu Siwei's troubled expression, Qiao Qisheng asked: "Can you go up, and if it's too dangerous, you can say something."

"It's okay to go up, and it's no problem to bring some things. Not to mention too much, you can still bring two to three hundred catties of things," Gu Siwei said confidently.

Qiao Qisheng was overjoyed when he heard that: "That's really great."

The middle-aged officer next to him also showed a surprised expression. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him didn't hesitate at all, and just opened his mouth to say that he could go up.

"That……".

"But I can't leave now," Gu Siwei said.

After hearing this, Qiao Qisheng said directly: "When is it now?!".

"My wife is pregnant," Gu Siwei said.

Qiao Qisheng was stunned when he heard this, and without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked, "Which daughter-in-law are you?"

"..."

Gu Siwei was speechless for a while, and replied angrily: "The two daughter-in-laws will be shot now!"

Qiao Qisheng said: "I didn't mean that, you mean that girl Yanqiu is pregnant?"

Gu Siwei said: "Well, but she is not sure, so she has to go to the hospital for an examination."

"That's not to say...that's a good thing." Qiao Qisheng said happily: "Then congratulations!"

"Happy, happy!" Gu Siwei replied with a smile.

The middle-aged officer was a little anxious: "Let's get down to business!"

"Oh, if you really have the confidence to enter the mountain, you must help, because the soldiers over there really don't have much supplies, and they might have stopped by now. They don't have much experience in the mountains and forests. I guess they can find them in the mountains. It will be very difficult to eat, we urgently need someone now, even if it is to deliver tens of catties of compressed biscuits, it will be good," Qiao Qisheng said.

"Is it so serious?" Gu Siwei asked.

"The situation may be more serious than this," Qiao Qisheng said.

None of these fighters, including Li Zhengda, has experience living in winter mountains and forests, and for a while ago, all the materials for building the station were transported, and there was not much supply at all. He also likes to work hard, talks about style, and creates miracles. I really didn't expect that there would be such a heavy snowfall suddenly, and it would last for so many days.

"That way, you transport things to our village, no, transport them to Erdao Guaizi, which is closer. I will talk to my wife here, and then I will go home and prepare. We will meet there. The quality of the things is controlled at three hundred... fifty catties, 350 catties, I will send it to you," Gu Siwei said.

"Can you do it? How can you carry a 350-jin thing? Horse mules are not allowed over there..." Qiao Qisheng said.

Gu Siwei said: "Me? How can I carry more than 300 catties of things into the mountains? You forgot, we live in Da Mao?"
