Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 71
Liu Dezhu was forced to worship as a teacher. Although he was forced to do so, Liu Fulin started the ceremony after knowing about it, and prepared a very respectable ceremony for Zheng Youcai (two pieces of bacon and a pack of pastries) .

After finishing this matter, Gu Siwei naturally continued to build his own house, and other things had nothing to do with Lao Gu.

With the experience of small houses, the construction of big houses is much faster. Originally, Gu Siwei thought that it would take a month and a half to build the big house. Whoever thought that things went smoothly surprised him, the space The work outside was almost completed in only one month and a few days.

After it was built, Gu Siwei's three wooden houses were arranged in a zigzag shape, with the largest house at the back, two cottages in front, and one cottage connected to the main house by a corridor.

The area of ​​the main house is naturally the largest, and Lao Gu is very happy, so the wooden house must be more than 200 square meters.

More than 200 square meters were divided into five rooms, three bedrooms, one for Gu Siwei to live in by himself, the other for Sicui naturally, and one for the guest room first, and the remaining two for one. It is used as a cloakroom, and the other room can be used to store some sundries.

As for the study and so on, they are all arranged in the small room with a corridor.

To tell the truth, Lao Gu really loves the big house he built. Not to mention anything else, he just said that the house is all made of solid wood. You can smell the faint woody fragrance when you lie down in it. What kind of enjoyment is this kind of? Decades later, he dared to think.

The main body of the house is ready, but the furniture inside still needs to be there. Except for the part prepared by Mr. Zheng, there is still a considerable part that Gu Siwei plans to make by himself.

The wooden bed is so simple, there is plenty of wood in hand, what material is easy to choose, and the big ax can be done right after one round.

Although the bed legs with thick thighs were a little silly, Gu Siwei couldn't help but immerse himself in the rough atmosphere exuding, and was very happy.

The only thing that's a bit stuck is the windows.

Originally, Gu Siwei had prepared large floor-to-ceiling windows, so they had to be opened a few meters by a few meters, so that the light would be good.

In the end, his ideas were beyond this era. There is such a big glass, but how dare Gu Siwei install such a large piece of glass on his own windows? Let alone him at this time, Qiao Qisheng doesn't even have the ability to use tempered glass for decoration own windows.

It's okay to not use tempered glass, but Gu Siwei gave up after thinking about it. If such a large piece of ordinary glass is broken and cracked, it will be amazing.

In the end, there was no other way. Gu Siwei had to divide the large window into small windows. The original piece of glass was replaced by nearly [-] small windows for the largest large window. Finally, Qiao Qisheng was asked to help solve the problem of window glass.

The problem of glass is something that Lao Gu didn’t think of at the beginning. He thought it was the toilets that were difficult, but he didn’t expect them to be easy to solve. Qiao Qisheng originally had a new project this year, and built three toilets, which were regarded as damaged. Then Lao Gu got two toilets and one squatting toilet.

There is a bathroom separated from his own room, and another bathroom is separated from Sicui's room, and the last one left is simply used in the study.

Naturally, Qiao Qisheng would not be reluctant to have a toilet pipe, so Gu Siwei's family can be said to be the first family to use the toilet in the entire village, or even the entire township.

With a toilet, you must have water. There was no water on the mountain, but this did not bother Gu Siwei. He found a pool of water on the gourd-shaped top of the mountain in Gourd Valley. The pool is spring water, but it is not Flow in the direction of Lao Gu's house.

Can such a small matter trouble Lao Gu?Go directly to the big rock, smash all the way, and soon the small pool of water passed Lao Gu's new home, flowed through his new field, and finally formed a small storm between two old persimmon trees and walnut trees. , to the great river below.

If there is water, sewage needs to be discharged, not to mention the water for washing vegetables, just pour it on the ground, and you can’t waste feces, urine, etc. This is the best farmyard manure, so there must be cesspit.

These things were originally thought to be a bit difficult, but with the help of Qiao Qisheng and his son, once the pipe problem was solved, the rest was completed smoothly, but there is no running water, and it is impossible to flush the toilet automatically. After using the toilet, water is needed Scoop water to flush.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than dry toilets, and the conditions are like this at this time.

After eating, drinking, and messing about, Gu Siwei's home is complete, and the most important thing left now is to pick a good day to move.

It is said that it is moving, but in fact it is to bring the little girl Sicui here. There are almost no valuable things in the house over there. For Gu Siwei now, just throw it away.

After tidying up here, the furniture in the room is almost ready, such as wardrobes and desks, these things are all made by Gu Siwei himself. Although they are not very delicate, the pictures are solid.

After doing everything right here, Gu Siwei is going to go back to the village, bring Sicui over here, and then live a leisurely life here.

When the door of reform and opening up is opened, Gu Siwei can be at home when he wants to be at home, and drive a car when he doesn't want to be at home to drive around the country's scenic spots.

Along the road, Gu Siwei came to the front of the cliff, looked around, but found no monkeys.

"Where did it go? Pony!"

After mumbling, Gu Siwei yelled into the valley.

Soon, the monkey group shouted and rushed over, and saw Gu Siwei sitting together obediently, looking at each other.

"Look at what I'm doing, have you forgotten what you trained a few days ago?"

Looking at the group of monkeys, Gu Siwei said with a bit of hatred for iron.

Since you want to bring Si Cui, you can no longer rely on space to get in and out. You can play when no one is around, but you can't play with Si Cui. It's not that Gu Siwei doesn't believe in Si Cui, but that the less people know about it more secure.

A group of monkeys stared at Gu Siwei, still not moving.

But soon, one of the monkeys jumped out, grinned and came to the side of the walnut tree, dragging the rolled up ladder to the cliff.

Seeing the monkey's movements, Gu Siwei nodded in satisfaction: "There are still smart ones."

In order for Si Cui to come up, Gu Siwei prepared a soft ladder here, which is a wooden rope ladder. Each board is ten centimeters wide and four or five centimeters thick. The top of the cliff has been dragged to the river.

For such a long ladder, one roll must not be small, so it was a bit difficult for a monkey to drag it, and Gu Siwei was not going to help, so he glanced at the other monkeys, and soon these monkeys helped to roll up the soft ladder together.

At the mouth of the cliff, the group of monkeys pushed the ladder down, only to hear a swish, followed by a few snaps, one end was tied to the tree trunk, and the other end hung firmly to the river.

Gu Siwei climbed down the cliff along the ladder, and when he reached the bottom of the cliff, he stepped on the raft.

This raft was made by Gu Siwei himself. Compared with ordinary rafts, it is more exquisite, but rafts are rafts after all, not as good as those that come on board.

Gu Siwei has asked someone to build the ship, but shipbuilding is a skillful and labor-intensive job. Everyone is busy with farming now, so it’s not that Gu Siwei can start construction if he wants someone else, so Gu Siwei’s boat will have to be in October at the earliest. Only then can it be used.

Before that, you had to rely on this raft to go back and forth.

Stepped on the raft, two huge fish spirits, Grass Flower and Cube, were already waiting in the water. The two guys opened their mouths bigger than a human waist, spitting bubbles, if they weren't too big , these two guys can really be called cute, but now, it's a good thing not to scare people's souls away.

Untie the rope that tied the raft to the cliff, and let the raft go downstream along the current.

Originally, it was planned to put it directly in the village, but who knew that in the valley, it met Wu Meiling's sister-in-law who happened to be going upstream.

"Sister-in-law, where did you call back from?"

Gu Siwei greeted Wu Meiling.

Wu Meiling was against the current and was supporting the raft with all her strength. She didn't notice Gu Siwei who was going down the current for a while, and only raised her head when she heard Gu Siwei's voice.

"It's Brother Siwei. I went back to my mother's house and borrowed some money."

Wu Meiling had nothing to hide from Gu Siwei, so she directly told about her going back to her natal home.

"Borrowing money? Why didn't you ask me to borrow money?" Gu Siwei felt that Wu Meiling was too out of touch.

Wu Meiling smiled and said: "I borrowed a lot of money, and you can eat and drink without worrying about it. How can there be so much money?"

"What are you going to borrow so much money for?" Gu Siwei asked casually.

Wu Meiling is not the kind of high-spending person, and even if it is high-spending now, you have to have somewhere to spend it, so Gu Siwei didn't think about where the money could be used for a while.

"Buy a bicycle?" Gu Siwei finally remembered something.

Wu Meiling shook her head and said: "We don't need to buy that thing for anything. I calculated it with the head of our family, and now we have the land. I can't do without buying a cow, so I went back to my mother's house to borrow money...".

"Buy a cow?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Siwei regained his spirits and asked repeatedly: "How much is it to buy a cow now?"

Wu Meiling said: "It depends on what kind of cow you buy. If the calf is cheaper, if the cow can work, you really need the money for a bicycle."

"Is it easy to buy cattle now?" Gu Siwei asked.

Buying a la carte and hares in private, Gu Siwei is doing well by himself now, but he really doesn't know like a big animal.

Wu Meiling said: "This thing has to be worked hard in private, and you can't buy it outside. It has to be bought and sold by the Zhuangzi in the mountains. The control is too tight outside, and it's not easy in the mountains. There is no shortage of cattle now. Well, my side is also the head of the house, and his cousin has a village that wants to sell cattle."

Originally, Gu Siwei was just inquiring about it, thinking of saving some money to buy a cow in a month or so. Hearing what Wu Meiling said, this cow business still has to be lucky, so this idea stopped again.

"Siwei, what's under your raft."

Wu Meiling, who was talking about cattle, noticed two huge black shadows under Gu Siwei's raft, and immediately became nervous.

"Don't move, don't move!"

Wu Meiling immediately signaled Gu Siwei not to move, not to startle the two shadows beside the raft.

Gu Siwei knew what Wu Meiling had discovered, so he said with a smile: "Two fish, don't be afraid, these two guys don't eat people, not only don't they don't eat people, they also like people."

Said Gu Siwei stepped on the raft under his feet.

Plant flowers and squares immediately stuck their heads out from under the water.

"Oops~!"

Wu Meiling was frightened by the two giant fish and sat down on the raft. In a panic, the raft that was already on the shore was carried downstream by the current.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Are you okay, this fish doesn't eat people."

Gu Siwei really didn't expect that two big fish could scare Wu Meiling like this. In fact, he didn't think that when he saw grass flowers and cubes for the first time, he was not much better than Wu Meiling now.

Wu Meiling came back to her senses, and held the raft with the penny in her hand to stop the raft from going downstream, and then stared straight at the two big fish heads on the water.

"You are really a god."

Wu Meiling looked at Gu Siwei and the two giant fish beside his raft, and praised him sincerely.
