Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 49

After sending Guo Shengshui away, Gu Siwei took Si Cui and gave the meal to Tulu.

Xi Liu, Xi Liu!
Gu Siwei heard a strange voice and asked Si Cui, "What are you doing?"

Sicui's small face moved away from the bowl: "Brother, it's so delicious, I'll eat the bottom of the bowl too."

It turned out that the little girl was sucking the bowl.

"Okay, look at your worthless appearance, let's do it tomorrow, and white rice and white noodles will be enough at home in the future," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"Really?" Sicui's eyes lit up a little when he heard that, but soon dimmed again.

"I don't want it anymore. My brother went hunting in the forest very hard. If I eat less, my brother will work less hard."

Gu Siwei said with a smile: "You girl, there is nothing hard or hard, just leave this matter alone, just don't cause trouble at home, and don't run to the river, it's dangerous."

Gu Siwei said something to Sicui.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's head casually.

This action made Sicui stunned, but soon he laughed happily, and when he smiled, his two small eyes were bent like crescents.

I have to say that following Gu Siwei these days, Sicui has grown flesh, not only the flesh, but also the spirit. Showed the appearance.

"I'm going to wash the dishes and wash the pot." Sicui picked up Gu Siwei's bowls and chopsticks, put them in the pot, and was going to wash the pot with the ears of the pot.

Gu Siwei asked, "Going to the river?"

"No, I took a little water and stored it in the original bad tank, which is almost enough for every day."

It was only then that Gu Siwei remembered that his home should have a complete tank, and people in the village used tanks to store water, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Si Cui, do you buy tanks in the town?"

Si Cui said: "Buy a vat? You don't need to go to the town, but it's just a long way away, and it's not easy to transport it back. You have to wait for Uncle Shengshui to drive the animals to Chongwen to fill in the west to buy a vat. The vats there are not only It’s cheap and big, because there is a special tank factory over there, we don’t have one here, and no one buys it in the town, and people in the county town go to Chongwen Town to buy tanks... ".

After hearing Si Cui's words, Gu Siwei hummed.

Thinking of the tank, Gu Siwei stood up to find Guo Shengshui.

When I arrived at Guo Shengshui's house, I didn't find anyone. I only saw a few children in his family. I heard that the older children had gone to the field, so Gu Siwei went to the field to find someone again.

Guo Shengshui's home is on the other side of the river, that is to say, he has to use a boat or a raft to get from here to there.

Almost every family in the village has boats, except for Gu Siwei's family, of course, but Gu Siwei has rafts, and the rafts that were rafted down to rebuild the courtyard are all placed on the shore.

But when he got to the river, he happened to see a family coming back from the other side by rowing a boat, so Gu Siwei borrowed someone's boat and went to the other side with a pole.

It's getting dark, and people can be seen in the fields on the other side. It can be seen whether the land is my own, and the motivation is different.

"Four-dimensional brothers".

"Brother Shengshui, I have something to ask you for," Gu Siwei explained his intention.

Guo Shengshui's daughter-in-law was also nearby, she listened carefully, and without waiting for her man to agree, she opened her mouth and said, "Brother Siwei, it's not easy to get a tank back, as long as it's smaller, it's fine with a big tank filled with water." very hard.

You have been to the town too, have you walked through that section of the road? Although the road to Chongwen Town is not as difficult as the road to the town, it is not much worse. There is a section of the road where cattle cars cannot go, and people need to be hired. Carry it over..."

Gu Siwei immediately smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was only thinking about the tank here, but I didn't expect that it would take a lot of effort to bring it in. Just pretend that I didn't say anything about it. I'm free. Go to Chongwen."

Don't you understand this? People think it's too difficult to help buy tanks, so they don't plan to help them buy.

Guo Shengshui said: "You know nothing, Brother Siwei, if you can wait for a month, the village will definitely go to Chongwen Town when the spring begins, and bring you a bite It will be fine if the tank comes back, it will not take much trouble."

Gu Siwei saw that Guo Shengshui's daughter-in-law's face had changed. She must be feeling sorry for her man, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just go there in two days and see what I can buy along the way."

Since things are a bit difficult, Gu Siwei decided to take a trip by himself.

If things are simple, ask someone else to do them. Since things are so difficult, don’t ask for help. Asking for help is just a favor. Favors that you owe to others must be repaid, and often doubled.

Mrs. Guo Shengshui was not happy, so Gu Siwei just let it go.

The matter was not settled, Gu Siwei rowed the boat back to the other side, dragged the boat ashore, tied it to a big tree, and went to the other person's yard to talk to him before heading back.

When we arrived at Liu Fulin's yard, Liu Dezhu was eating dinner with a bowl and a piece of potato stuck in his chopsticks.

"Brother Siwei".

"Where to eat?" Gu Siwei asked cheerfully.

Liu Dezhu said again: "Brother Siwei, what did you do?"

Gu Siwei said: "If you want to buy a tank, go to Brother Shengshui, who knows that buying a tank is so difficult."

Liu Dezhu was a little stunned, blinking his eyes for a long time before asking, "What's so difficult?"

Gu Siwei said: "It is a bit troublesome to say that there is a section of the road that has to be carried by people."

Liu Dezhu curled his lips: "What road do we have to carry? Most of the roads over there are waterways. It's a bit difficult to go there. If you want to go against the current, you have to pull the boat for a while. What's the trouble when you come back? Wait for the water to pass by. Once you get there, go to the first team. If you walk that way, what’s wrong with you?”

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled: "Forget it, don't bother others."

"I'll go with you, you can buy as many tanks as you want, I have the strength" Liu Dezhu put his chopsticks into the bowl and said, patting his chest.

Gu Siwei was happy: "Okay, I will find you when I am going."

Gu Siwei just said that, and he didn't plan to take Liu Dezhu with him. It would be better to drive the livestock with him.

After chatting with Liu Dezhu, Gu Siwei returned to his small courtyard. Si Cui had already washed the pots and bowls at this time, and was sitting at the door of the main room, looking outside in a daze. With a sweet smile.

"Brother, you're back," Si Cui said.

Ok.

Gu Siwei responded.

Carrying a bench, Gu Siwei sat at the door like Sicui, waiting for the oil lamp to be lit after dark, and within half an hour they went back to their rooms and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Gu Siwei naturally used an excuse to go hunting, and left a few pancakes for Sicui. Of course, there was still some flour at home. In short, it was enough for Sicui to eat for two or three days, and he returned to Yinsong cliff.

Drilling into the space and continuing to cut wood with an axe, the process is very boring, but Gu Siwei knows that he wants to live in a satisfactory house now, and this is the only way. Do you want to use a chainsaw?Now it is a foreign product, and there is no way to get it, let alone get it.

Therefore, the wood needs an axe, the plank needs to be sawed by hand, and the planer needs to be used to make the plank smooth.

Practice, there is nothing to say, one root after another, the only thing that saves Gu Siwei trouble is that with space, it is very convenient for him to carry materials, and several tons of materials can be waved.

For boring things, Gu Siwei went back for a few days and continued to practice after returning. He became more and more proficient in using the axe, and the surface of the wood he split became smoother and smoother.

When the appointed time came, Gu Siwei brought some grain. This time, Gu Siwei was not going to give white flour to others, but directly gave wheat to others. Where could it be white flour? Gu Siwei felt that he didn’t need to worry about it.

With wheat, after thinking for a while, Gu Siwei brought a small basket of about fifty wild eggs. Hu Yanqiu was polite to him, so he naturally had to be polite.

Lao Gu is such a man, he will be more polite when people are polite, and he will just roll up his sleeves and beat people when they make trouble with him.

Back in the small courtyard, Gu Siwei stood at the door and found that the small courtyard had changed.

A small vegetable garden was opened outside, and the circle was surrounded by a half-person-high fence. The inside was obviously turned over, and the hard ground turned into soft soil, and some green things also had their heads popping out. Cold-resistant things like green garlic, local bitter greens, etc., all sprouted.

"Si Cui, I didn't expect to make a garden so soon." Gu Siwei felt that this ten-year-old girl was really capable.

"elder brother!"

Hearing the movement, Sicui stuck his head out of the broken courtyard wall, and was very happy to see Gu Siwei smiling.

"This small vegetable garden is well done," Gu Siwei boasted.

Sicui laughed and said, "I'll plant what you want to eat, but now it's cold, and many of them can't be grown. When the spring comes, we can grow a lot of vegetables here."

Gu Siwei happily listened to Si Cui's words, and nodded while listening.

Waiting for Sicui to finish speaking, Gu Siwei waved at Sicui.

After two minutes, he entered the room and started muttering. This time, Gu Siwei went to the factory and planned to stay for two more days. It had nothing to do with Hu Yanqiu, but he wanted to see if he could sneak into the factory and get something for himself. .

If you're going for a few days, naturally you have to talk to Sicui and save something.

"Brother, you haven't finished eating the last time, so don't keep it. If you want to keep some pancakes, it's so easy for others to see. Last time I heated rabbit meat and stood It smells right at the gate of the yard.”

Sicui is a little bit dizzy, because she always hides and hides when eating, and she is under a lot of pressure.

Why, because the food at Gu Siwei's family is good. At this time, people who eat white flour and white rice every day must be quite a cadre, not to mention that rabbits and pheasants appear on the dining table of Gu Siwei's family from time to time. .

Think about it, you can't avoid people just like being a thief when you have a meal.

Gu Siwei listened happily: "Okay, let's make pancakes. I will try my best to deal with rabbit meat and so on in the mountains. Try not to boil them and replace them with roasted ones. When you want to eat them, simmer them by the stove, and the taste will be delicious." Not far away."

"En!" Si Cui nodded.

Just like that, Gu Siwei stayed at home for less than half an hour, then ran towards the factory.
