Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 47 New Clothes
Sliding down from the cliff, crossing the river with a raft tied to the river, and climbing over several mountain ridges, Gu Siwei appeared at a mountain pass, and the village could be seen straight ahead from here.

It's not easy to use the space here, because although people don't come here often, folks will come here from time to time, so for safety, Gu Siwei had to rely on two legs.

After leaving the mountain pass, Gu Siwei walked forward for not a mile, when he heard yelling by the river.

I hurried over to have a look, and found a group of brats fishing on the shore.

"Brother Siwei, what did you call back this trip?"

"Uncle Siwei, did you catch the rabbit?"

……

When I saw Gu Siwei, I could call anything, but most of the children asked for food.

Gu Siwei spread his hands: "This time I was unlucky, I didn't catch anything."

I just brought back something two days ago, but Gu Siwei didn't bring it this time. There is a bit of pheasant in the space, but Gu Siwei is not interested in taking it out.

"Uncle Siwei, we caught a fish, look."

A boy lifted the bamboo cage out of the water and shook it in his hand.

"Not bad!"

How could Gu Siwei care about what these children caught, after he gave a compliment, he left the group of children and walked towards his small yard.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Gu Siwei found that today's small courtyard is different from the past.

It's not for any other reason, but it's because Sicui has changed into a new set of clothes now. Although the blue clothes are a bit old-fashioned in color, they are much better than the tattered ones she used to.

Not only did she change into new clothes, but the little girl also seemed to have taken a bath, and her hair was tied neatly.

In addition, these days, Gu Siwei often greeted her with a white face, and the little girl's face gradually grew flesh, and her skin changed from the original black and rough to a little blush.

"elder brother!"

The sharp-eyed Sicui saw Gu Siwei, and his whole body was like a flower blooming in an instant, that kind of joy, that kind of joy infected Gu Siwei all of a sudden.

"Brother, sister-in-law Meiling has made the clothes for me, do they look good?"

Si Cui stood in front of Gu Siwei, pulled the corner of her jacket, and said to Gu Siwei.

Obviously, the little girl couldn't be more satisfied with her new clothes. Even if it wasn't the girl's favorite flower jacket, for Sicui, she had never worn such a good dress since she could remember.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Gu Siwei actually thought it was pretty good, but he didn't want to show it. He still thought in his heart that after a while, he would hand over Sicui to Liu Fulin to take care of him, and he would move to Yinsong Cliff to live his semi-reclusive life.

However, sometimes, some people and things will come into your heart unknowingly, but you just don't notice it. Although Gu Siwei looks like a two hundred and five, in fact, deep down in his heart, it is still the one who was caught. Before being beaten by the society, he was a kind-hearted Sao Nian.

Sicui is used to Gu Siwei's indifference. For her, if the brother in front of her said it was good, it must be good, so the smile on the little girl's face became even better, and she started nagging Gu Siwei non-stop new clothes.

While the siblings were standing in the yard, talking about new clothes, Wu Meiling walked over with a smile.

"Brother Siwei is back?"

Wu Meiling was cheerful.

Now Wu Meiling really thanked Gu Siwei from the bottom of her heart, and also thanked her for her original decision. She kindly extended a helping hand to Gu Siwei, and received the richest return.

Not to mention anything else, although my children still can't get enough to eat, they can get [-]% to [-]% of the food, which is already very good for the child's physical development.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Meiling is more concerned about the affairs of Gu Siwei and Sicui.

Not to mention anything else, just the two sets of clothes, which were made by Wu Meiling and Wan.

"Sister Meiling, thank you these days," Gu Siwei said politely.

Gu Siwei is such a person. If others treat him well, he will definitely return it several times. Wu Meiling's side here helping himself with this and helping himself with that will naturally be closer to others in his heart. This is human nature.

"You're welcome, you just came back, and the clothes are ready for you. I'll bring them here for you to try on. If there's anything inappropriate, I'll take them back and change them," Wu Meiling said.

"So fast?"

Gu Siwei thought it was not so fast, who would have thought that Wu Meiling would do it well.

Wu Meiling laughed and said, "I don't have much to do at home, so I'll come out after doing some work."

Wu Meiling's words are just polite words, what do you mean by nothing, even if there is nothing wrong, can't people take a rest and sleep?Why spend time making clothes for other people's homes, it's still the kind that you don't have money to get.

Gu Siwei also understood, so he smiled and said: "Don't rush next time, I am not in a hurry here."

Wu Meiling smiled and said: "There's no hurry, look at your body, the sleeves are almost greasy, try it quickly."

Gu Siwei raised his cuffs and looked at them, feeling a little embarrassed, because the cuffs were indeed worn black.

In this case, Gu Siwei stopped being hypocritical, took the clothes and went into the room to change them.

When he walked out of the house again, Gu Siwei felt that his clothes were a bit strange.

It's not the clothes that are strange, but Gu Siwei's feeling is strange, where is the blame.

In terms of strange style, the Chinese tunic suit with lapels has four pockets. The buttons are not ordinary buttons, but the kind of cloth strips. As for the reason, it must be that there is no money to buy plastic buttons.

I feel awkward when I put on the clothes. That's because the big padded jacket looks a bit like a bell at the moment, that is, the hem is usually turned outward. In the era when Gu Siwei was in a daze, the padded jacket had no bangs, so it must have passed the knees.

Wu Meiling saw that Gu Siwei seemed a little dissatisfied, so she said, "Why, the size is not suitable? Is it too small?"

Gu Siwei immediately waved his hand when he heard it: "It's nothing, it fits very well, but I'm not used to wearing it all at once."

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, Wu Meiling finally felt relieved, walked to Gu Siwei's side with a smile, and patted and patted the corners of Lala's clothes.

"Oh, I forgot, I haven't exchanged the cotton here yet, where can I get the cotton?"

Gu Siwei just remembered that he had been busy during this time and forgot to plant the cotton seeds given by his sister-in-law. How did the padded jacket be made without cotton?

Wu Meiling said with a smile: "Sicui is something that our family has. Your clothes are given by Uncle Fulin. Originally, he planned to save some money to make a jacket next year, but I heard that you are going to make a jacket. He brought it to me."

Hearing this, Gu Siwei felt a little moved in his heart. This bit of cotton would be a fart after decades, but it is different at this time, and it is different when it is placed in Shimo Village.

People are willing to take it out for you to use, this is love, let alone, Gu Siwei has to write down this love.

Wu Meiling took two steps back, looked at the jacket on Gu Siwei's body, and said with satisfaction: "This new upper body looks like spirit!"

Gu Siwei didn't know how to answer, so he could only grin silly.

After Wu Meiling talked, she went into the room and carried out the clothes that Gu Siwei had changed.

"I'll take the clothes back and wash them for you."

"That's not okay, sister-in-law, I'll just do it myself." Gu Siwei quickly stopped Wu Meiling.

Sicui also came over at this time, wanting to snatch the clothes from Wu Meiling's hand.

"Auntie, I can wash my brother's clothes, I can wash them, and they are clean."

So just like that, the three of them started to fight.

Gu Siwei has strength, but it's not easy for him to tear up with a woman, and this is not a fight, so strength is not needed at all.

Wu Meiling said to Gu Siwei: "Brother Siwei, don't be polite to me. Why should we be polite? If you do this again, I won't dare to come next time."

Wu Meiling's family is grateful to Gu Siwei, and nothing else but for the tens of catties of flour.Wu Meiling and his wife felt that they had received Gu Siwei's kindness, so they naturally wanted to repay it.

Kind people are always like this, that is, they don’t remember the kindness to others, but always remember the kindness to themselves, thinking about returning more.

Gu Siwei has never seen this kind of posture before. He has lived for two generations, and no one has rushed to wash his clothes except his old mother.

"Then trouble sister-in-law." Gu Siwei was a little embarrassed.

"What's so embarrassing?" Wu Meiling was very happy.

"Oh, I forgot that there are some scraps left. I made my own idea and made two pairs of shoes for you and Sicui."

"This……".

For a while, Gu Siwei really didn't know what to say. They don't charge wages to help make clothes, and they still want to make shoes for themselves with the leftovers?
Are kind-hearted people in this era so enlightened?
It makes people's hearts warm.

"Besides, we don't have much land, and we don't have much work in the field." When Wu Meiling mentioned the land, her face was a little disappointed.

There is really not much land for the couple, and there are quite a lot of people in the family. There are no old ones, but there are three young ones. There are five people in the family, which is just a fraction of the land. It is impossible for these five people to eat enough. .

Gu Siwei also knew, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly he had a plan in his mind.

When I arrived in the village, the two families who helped me the most were Liu Fulin's family and Wu Meiling's family. What are the two families most lacking now?
It's not Gu Siwei's relief. As the old saying goes, helping the emergency is not helping the poor, and it's not a problem to give relief all the time. Does a good person have no dignity? You always rely on him to live on Gu Siwei.

If things go on like this, maybe good people will be spoiled.

For others, the whole land is difficult, because most of the mountains here are stone mountains, and the shallow soil layer is not suitable for growing crops.

But it's really nothing to Gu Siwei, not to mention that the soil dug to fill the Yinsongya Gourd Valley last time has not been dumped yet.

It's not that Gu Siwei didn't want to get rid of it, but that he was busy during this time, so he forgot about it when he was busy.

Of course, you are right to say that Gu Siwei was lazy.

Although he had an idea, Gu Siwei didn't say anything now. After chatting with Wu Meiling for a while, Wu Meiling went back with Gu Siwei's clothes in his arms to help wash them.

Gu Siwei and Sicui went into the house.
