Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 46 Exercises
Wu Meiling turned back to the house, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw her husband returning with a hoe, and beckoned her husband into the main room.

"In charge, Brother Siwei gave us ten catties of flour," Wu Meiling said.

Wu Meiling's husband is called Guo Shengshou, who was born in the next generation. His parents died early, and he has no brothers or sisters. In the past, he would not be able to get a daughter-in-law. All of a sudden, I have a little identity.

Wu Meiling's family background is not good, ordinary workers in the city would not dare to marry her, workers dare not marry her, but some people with little power see that she is not bad, so it is inevitable that they will be careful or something.

Wu Meiling simply married into the mountain village and lived a small life with the honest Guo Shengshou.

The two are very different, but it is really strange that they can live together. One is that Wu Meiling is not that kind of hypocritical person, and the other is that Guo Shengshou is also simple, generous and kind-hearted.

Otherwise, who would allow their daughter-in-law to go to the young guy's house all the time, even though the guy is not at home often, so don't rush to tie his wife to the waist of his trousers.

At this moment, Guo Shengshou's face was full of astonishment: "Where did this white flour come from? Did you do something illegal?"

As he was talking, Guo Shengshou lowered his voice, fearing that others would hear him, and deliberately turned his head to look at the door. Even in his own home, Guo Shengshou felt his heart tremble.

Ten catties of flour!
I am a mother!
"You still don't know the skills of the Siwei brothers. The wild boar can get work, and the people in the factory are rich. It shouldn't be difficult to change some flour."

Wu Meiling felt that this matter was a bit suspenseful, but based on her logic, there was nothing wrong with it.

"This... is too polite, just because you took care of Si Cui and sewed a few clothes?" Guo Shengshou felt that this gift was a bit too big.

Not many people care about anything these days. Helping people make shoes and sew clothes is not worth a bowl of white noodles.

"Brother Siwei is a fastidious person. You think that like your cousin, your own niece is still thrown at other people's homes," Wu Meiling said.

Guo Shengshou said with a silly smile: "We have already released five clothes."

"Don't laugh, we secretly go to Brother Siwei's house after dinner at night, you light the fire, I bake pancakes, now you go and get some green vines back."

Guo Shengshou was a little confused, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why do you want that thing?"

Wu Meiling said: "Are you stupid, we just open our hands to continue when they give us white noodles? We have no other skills, we can re-dye the damp cloth that Siwei brothers gave us last time."

Snapped!
Guo Shengshou clapped his hands and nodded, saying: "This is what it should be, it's a matter of courtesy."

Wu Meiling said with a smile: "Go and take out the cotton hidden at home, Ermaozi will last for a while, and first sew up Sicui's cotton-padded jacket."

"Well, let's do that".

Guo Shengshou looked at his daughter-in-law with a smile, feeling overwhelmed.

Gu Siwei didn't know that the couple were thinking about reciprocating with him at home. He gave Sicui some pancakes, but didn't give them more, just five or six. As for the dishes that go with pancakes, the meat didn't dare to be too oily. Yes, I left some shredded pork with pickled vegetables.

Decades later, the worst belly-filling meal is top-notch at this time, and a white flour pancake can beat all existence in the countryside.

After Sicui was settled, Gu Siwei left the village and ran directly to Yinsong Cliff.

When he arrived at the place, Gu Siwei began to prepare to build the house. Gu Siwei chose the place to build the house. He chose it at the mouth of the gourd-shaped valley. It happened to be a small hill facing south and full of sunshine.

The foundation for building a house is naturally the first to start. Gu Siwei came here this time to prepare for the foundation.

Originally, even if Gu Siwei was a country boy, he had seen people build houses, so he didn't know much about building foundations, but he wasn't unfamiliar either.

According to Gu Siwei's plan, mix stones with soil, tamp it with huge stones, and after tamping out a large plane, put logs on it. Tie it down, so at least Gu Siwei thinks the house is solid.

Stones are not a problem, they are the most common thing in the mountains, even pebbles are easy, just go to the river to find them.

The material is not a problem, it just takes a little time and effort.

Anyway, Gu Siwei has nothing to do, and now he is most afraid of time, so the project is slowly started.

After staying in Yinsong Cliff for more than a day, Gu Siwei found some game here, took it back to the village for a walk, left a few chickens and ducks for the village, took the rest out for a stroll, and actually arrived at Yinsong Ya, but the folks in the village got the news that Gu Siwei went to the factory to change things again.

This went back and forth three times, and on the last trip, Gu Siwei didn't go there as a fake, but really took some wild animals, and made an appointment with someone to go to the factory with white noodles.

When they arrived at the agreed place, they were already waiting for Gu Siwei. It was convenient to exchange them twice. The tools were very useful. Gu Siwei was very satisfied, so he asked for a few more shovels and a plowshare.

After making an appointment for the next meeting, Gu Siwei went back to the village to get busy.

Gu Siwei is busy with work, and the village is also busy. Since the land was divided, everyone's enthusiasm has obviously increased. There are almost no people in the village who are basking in the sun and chatting. As long as they are free, they all rush to their own fields. , The fields that no one turned over before have been turned over many times.

The manure pits of each family have also come in handy, and people are constantly carrying manure to water their fields.

If you are diligent, you will be diligent, but every now and then, the whole village smells like dung, which really makes Gu Siwei a little unbearable.

With the tools in hand, the foundation of the house was also solidified. Gu Siwei started to build the house according to his own ideas, but it was not his idea. When watching short videos decades later, one of the things he liked to watch was repairing donkey hooves. , The second is to see survival in the wild, and the third is to see people building houses.

As the old saying goes, have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? The first batch of wood in the space has been dehydrated, which is just in time for use.

First of all, what Gu Siwei has to do is to snap the thread, pop out the required width of the groove on the required wood, and then use an ax to dig out the groove, and dig out the grooves at both ends of the wood. Can be very tightly built together.

The wood is piled up one by one, and wooden dowels are added, so that it becomes a wooden wall.

In fact, it is not a wooden wall. Once surrounded by a well-shaped four-sided pond, it is a solid house exterior wall, which is the traditional house of Lao Maozi in the short video-Mukeleng.

The idea is very beautiful, and I think there must be no problem.

But when Gu Siwei picked up the ax and started digging grooves in the peeled trunk, a problem arose.

When the ax goes down, either the wheel has passed, and the cut is beyond the ink line, or the wheel is light, and not many sawdust has been cut.

After finally cutting out a trough, when I put down the axe, I realized that the whole trough was crooked, not to mention that it was stuck on another tree trunk, even if it was thrown on the flat ground, the trunk would be the same as a log Still roll up.

New difficulties were placed in front of Gu Siwei.

And Gu Siwei also knows the solution: there is nothing else, only familiarity!
There is no shortcut to this matter, only by practicing over and over again, so that the heart, eyes, and hands are consistent, can the correct groove be dug out qualified.

There is nothing to say about this, just practice over and over again with an axe.

Fortunately, Gu Siwei is good at other things, but he still has this bit of patience, otherwise he wouldn't be able to grow from a high school student to a master of CNC machine tools abruptly.

But if you want to practice this skill, the process is obviously boring, and as a person, Gu Siwei's mood also fluctuates, sometimes he will get angry, and sometimes he will feel like giving up.

At this time, Xiao Ma and the monkeys will be unlucky, and they will become Gu Siwei's punching bag.

After doing it a few times, the group of monkeys' ability to see Gu Siwei's face has improved.

The time in the space is much faster than the outside. Although you don't feel it in the space, you can see it when you compare the inside and the outside.One month of practice in the space, but only three days outside.

Throwing away the axe, Gu Siwei came out of the space with a livid face.

As soon as he got up, Xiao Ma and the other monkeys who were eating fruit saw Gu Siwei's face, and they scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.

Gu Siwei glanced at the shadows of the monkeys, came to the side of the solid foundation, and threw out a scrap he had cut out from the space.

A whole piece of material is about tens of meters, and it is about [-] centimeters from top to bottom. This kind of material is quite rare outside. Almost thick.

But now this material has become a pile of large and small firewood.

The pile of firewood thrown out of the space was in a mess. Gu Siwei squatted beside him and got angry for a while. After waiting for the anger to subside, he began to slowly arrange the firewood neatly, and piled it next to the pile of firewood that had already been piled up.

During these days of practice, a huge firewood pile about three meters wide, seven meters long and two meters high has been built beside the homestead.

When you are in a low mood, you can’t continue practicing. Gu Siwei has experience, and working at this time is more work and half work. It’s better to stop and take a rest, and wait for this attitude of dissipating accumulation to pass before practicing.

After the firewood pile was built, and the rain-proof stone slabs on the firewood pile were covered again, Gu Siwei looked at the rising sun on the east ridge.

After watching for a while, I thought about going back to the village for a walk, just to relax.
