Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 391 Restless Heart

In the evening, Gu Siwei and Zhou Guangxian each led a horse and entered the village one after the other.

"Siwei, Mr. Zhou, how are you doing?"

Every villager who saw the two of them greeted them warmly and asked about the results of the examination that Zhou Guangxian went to the hospital on the factory side.

Zhou Guangxian smiled at everyone and said, "I'm worrying everyone. The results of the examination are all good. I'm in good health and there's nothing wrong with me."

"That's good. Go check it out and rest assured."

Everyone who heard this result was very happy.

Zhou Guangxian walked all the way like this, arching his hands all the way.

Got on the boat and returned to Yinsong Cliff.

As soon as the straps were loosened, the big fat and the chestnuts disappeared in a puff of smoke. For the two horses, every time they were hung up and down, they felt very uncomfortable, so unless Gu Siwei was watching Otherwise, even if Hu Yanqiu and Sicui were by their side, they would not be tied up honestly.

That is to say, except for Gu Siwei, no one can catch these two horses and let them sit on the hanging pole obediently.

Hu Yanping was the first to see the two coming back.

"Grandpa Zhou, what's the result of the inspection?"

Seeing the smile on Zhou Guangxian's face, Hu Yanping said again: "Don't tell me, let me guess?"

"Okay, guess, guess," Zhou Guang said with a smile.

Pulling off his straight face, Zhou Guangxian suddenly seemed to be a different person. Hu Yanping originally kept him at arm's length, but now he and Zhou Guangxian can also flirt with each other.

Hu Yanping said: "There must be nothing. Your body is healthy and healthy. In my opinion, your body will live to be more than a hundred years old, just like playing."

"Hahaha" Zhou Guangxian laughed and said: "I didn't realize it before, your kid's mouth is really sweet, what's the matter when you grow up?"

Hu Yanping grinned and laughed: "So-so, the third best in the world."

The number three in the world is naturally not original by this kid, but learned from Gu Siwei's mouth.

"Learn a little bit from your brother-in-law, and stay out of tune all day," Zhou Guangxian said cheerfully.

Gu Siwei came back at this time and said: "It's none of my business, you guys are chatting, I went back to rest, these two days are like chasing my life."

Going back yesterday, even riding a horse is tiring for Gu Siwei, it’s fine with his own wife, and traveling with Zhou Guangxian, it’s not boring enough, the old man’s cheerfulness is cheerfulness Yes, but the age of the two of them is on the table here, and they can finish talking in an hour or two if they have anything to say.

So most of the time along the way was silent, and I didn't say much during such a long journey. Does it seem like a longer journey?

So Gu Siwei secretly decided in his heart that if there is a next time, he must bring two more people, if nothing else, he is afraid that there will be nothing to say on the road.

Back in the house, Gu Siwei saw Hu Yanqiu and Wu Meiling, plus Ma Chunya and Mrs. Ma were doing needlework together, so he greeted everyone and was about to go inside.

"How about it?"

Wu Meiling asked with a smile.

Gu Siwei said: "What's the matter, what's the matter, the old man is strong enough to kill a cow!"

"It's good that there is no problem at all." Ma Chunya said with a smile: "It doesn't look like there is anything wrong with old uncle Zhou, he is in good spirits."

"There's no problem, maybe I'll meet a quack doctor again," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Just when Gu Siwei's words fell to the ground, a group of old men greeted outside. They had the same question and almost the same answer. Everyone was happy for Zhou Guangxian.

"Siwei, when will your family prepare for spring plowing?" Wu Meiling asked.

Gu Siwei glanced at Hu Yanqiu, thinking you didn't tell sister-in-law Meiling about this?The matter of spring plowing must have been planned a long time ago, how could such a thing have been thought of.Since the arrangement has been made long ago, it is impossible for Hu Yanqiu not to know, since he knew, why didn't he mention it to sister-in-law Meiling.

Seeing her husband's gaze, Hu Yanqiu smiled and said, "Don't ask me, I said it, but sister-in-law Meiling can't do anything about it. We have to start. Many folks asked our family when Chungeng would like to come to help this year."

Now that Gu Siwei still doesn't understand, the folks want to come over and do some casual work for themselves to earn money and food.

But this year Gu Siwei's family is really not short of manpower. The reason is very simple. First of all, almost half of the land has been planted with winter wheat, which means that only half of the land needs to be sown this year, and this half of the land cannot be fully planted. To plant rice, you have to plant something else, and the time of planting can be staggered.

In this way, how can we need so many people like last year? Now, several old men in the family, plus the couple of Wu Meiling's family and the couple of Sun Laibao's family, at most three or four people, it takes about five or six days. Time can also be busy.

"Sister-in-law Meiling, you see, our family does not lack any manpower this year," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Wu Meiling replied: "I know, but the folks asked me to ask, I have to ask."

At this time, Ma Chunya next to him said: "Everyone was a little addicted to work last year, so they wondered if they could do it again, and earn some rations for the children, right?"

At this time, no one cares about the childbirth, not only no one cares, but also encourages special students. Anyway, there are no entertainment activities at night. If there is a daughter-in-law at home, it’s not to mention doing activities every night. It is impossible for this child to have fewer births.

In just this year, there were four or five more children in the village. Since none of them were the firstborn, nor were they the eldest son or grandson, they congratulated them on a small scale, and no one made arrangements for them.

If you want to say that the pregnant woman who attracts the most attention is Hu Yanqiu, one is that Gu Siwei's "world land" is here, and the other is that Hu Yanqiu can have her first child.

In the past, Zhou Lanbing in Liu Dezhu's family could also be counted, and the big guys were quite concerned, but now Liu Dezhu is not considered a member of the team, so no one cares.

So the most prominent pregnant woman in the village was Hu Yanqiu, not to mention a three-yolk egg, which made some people in the village envious.

Is a large population a good thing?
It's a good thing, but it's not just a good thing. If you have an extra mouth, you have to eat and drink. There is only a little land in the village, which is not enough. It's hard to get a high-yield grain, and I can make do with it. With a few more mouths, there will always be times when there is not enough to eat, and seeing that the situation of not enough to eat will be staged, the folks here naturally have to think ahead.

Gu Siwei can understand, but he can't help it, he can't hire someone to play at home, isn't that nonsense, don't mention what the folks say behind their backs, doing so is stupid and thankless.

"But there is really no way this year," Gu Siwei said.

Ma Chunya followed up and said: "The folks know it too, but they just ask if it's good to have it, and they won't say anything if it's not there. The children of every family will grow up just by looking at it. As the old saying goes, half-sized children eat Destroyer, everyone has to think about saving some food or something."

"Um"

Gu Siwei hummed, turned his head and went back into the room.

It's okay not to mention this matter, but once it was mentioned, Gu Siwei couldn't sit still when he returned to the house, thinking about how he could find something for the folks to do.

Of course he has food, but how to get it out and how to get it out has to be carefully considered.

For a while, Gu Siwei couldn't think of a good way. Now there is nothing in the surrounding area. To put it bluntly, he even has a plan to make a quick report. It is really difficult to find a way for the folks to make a living.

Gu Siwei simply threw aside the things that he couldn't figure out. Anyway, this is not something to be rushed for a while, just think about it slowly.

Zhou Guangxian's body is very good here, and the rest of the old man is also out of breath and blushing after working. Gu Siwei's family is called a harmonious one.

After a few days, the spring plowing work of Gu Siwei's family started step by step.Needless to say, the fertility of the land that has been watered with manure.

The work of raising rice seedlings this year has already started, and Sicui is still in charge of raising not only Gu Siwei's family, but also Wu Meiling's and Liu Fulin's, as well as the fields of Ma Chunya's family.

The work of transplanting rice seedlings started step by step, and God was very kind. There were two rains at the beginning, but it didn’t rain for a few days when it was time to transplant rice seedlings, allowing Gu Siwei’s family to finish transplanting the rice seedlings smoothly.

After all the work is done, the life of Gu Siwei's family will return to normal, because of Gu Siwei's small movements, whether it is rice or wheat, there are very few weeds in the field, and every three to five days, it is enough to dial it manually. So there is not much work in the field.

There is not much to live, so the old man in the family will have free time, writing and drawing will naturally be indispensable, and of course playing chess and gossiping is too normal to be too normal.

This boy Song Rui came over whenever he had something to do, and played chess with the old men.

But among these old men, none of them can really relax, they have been busy all their lives, you let them play chess from morning to night every day?Is that possible?

Therefore, most of the time in the end, these old men either helped You Xugang in woodcarving, made furniture for Gu Siwei, or wrote and painted with Lu Yan.

The literary spirit of the old Gu family soared directly.

The only pity is that Gu Siwei is not very interested in these things. The young Lao Gu feels like grass has grown in his heart, thinking about playing wild and having fun.

There is an old saying, that is, a wolf that has eaten meat, how can it be possible to eat grass again.

Although Gu Siwei likes an easy life, but after living an easy life for a long time, he naturally has to think about changing his taste, let alone he still has the strength to change it.

What can Gu Siwei act wildly?Needless to say, what he wants is to transfer the population to Hong Kong, and then transfer the population to the United States. If it is possible, he really doesn’t mind transferring tens of millions of people to the United States to raise the Chinese-American population all at once. to fifty percent.

Of course, this ideal is not realistic.

But fortunately, for Gu Siwei, it's just a word of play, so just play if you want to play.

So after discussing with his wife, Gu Siwei took care of his family business in Hong Kong as an excuse. Of course, he still declared that there were customers who wanted mountain goods, and embarked on the road to the south.
