Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 74
The brothers and sisters agreed, and started to pack their things. Gu Siwei made a simple adjustment here, and took two pieces of clothes with him. After thinking about it, he simply threw the rest here. It was not worth anything anyway.

After tidying things up by himself, Gu Siwei came to the door of Sicui's room, and was startled as soon as he walked out of his door, because there were two full baskets on Sicui's side.

"Sicui, Sicui, what are you doing with these rags? Throw them away. There's no place to put them over there." Gu Siwei came to the basket and found that there was still a pile of rags in the basket. The rags were taken out of the basket.

Si Cui, who was busy, saw it, and immediately came over and took the rags into the basket: "Brother, these rags are still useful. Sister-in-law Wu Meiling told me to take out the soles of my shoes some time ago. When the time comes, these rags Cut it out, paste it up, hang it up and let it dry, it’s the shoe sole, now it’s time to throw it away, but it’ll be gone when it’s used.”

"You little girl, what are you doing to live like this?" Gu Siwei smiled.

After speaking, I looked at the basket and found that besides some old clothes, there were also some old dishes and chopsticks inside.

Now Gu Siwei really didn't allow her to bring it: "Take all of these, and you have to use new things when you arrive at the new home. These things are thrown here, because I have to come back to live for a night or two from time to time."

Si Cui looked at Gu Siwei anxiously, seeing that he didn't look relieved, so he had to take out the broken bowl from the basket.

After checking Sicui's basket inside and out, Gu Siwei stopped.

Just as the siblings were busy moving, Yang Chuanwu's voice came from the yard.

"Brother Siwei, brother Siwei, are you at home?"

Hearing Yang Chuanwu's voice, Gu Siwei walked out of the house, smiled at Yang Chuanwu and said, "Why are you here today? It's dark in the room. Let's not go in. I'll pour water for you."

Yang Chuanwu waved his hand: "No, I can't drink the hot water from your house, and I still use a ladle to quench my thirst with the cold water in the tank. It's nothing serious, but I heard that you are back, so come and have a look."

When Gu Siwei heard that he said he didn't drink water, he stopped being polite to him. He brought two benches, and everyone put them under their buttocks one by one, and sat directly in the yard and started talking.

"There is a hunting team organized in the village. Are you interested in joining? If you join, you will be the captain. Then everyone will obey your command and divide the money according to the distribution method of the people who enter the mountain. Thirty percent, but we have discussed it and are willing to give you [-]%... ".

Obviously, Yang Chuanwu is not fine, he came here to chat with Gu Weiwei in his spare time, the purpose of his coming here is to hope that Gu Siwei can join the hunting team in the village and become the captain.

The hunting team in the village has old hunters, but these old hunters are really old. All of them are running beyond sixty, and the rest are too young.

There are indeed young and middle-aged people, and there is no such thing as going out to work at this time, so they are all staying at home, but the backbone has gone out, who will take care of the work in the field?
There is only such a small population in the village now, and there is a shortage of young adults everywhere, not to mention that it is the era of a national population explosion, and the average family has three or four children.Not to mention the old-fashioned rural areas, as long as there is water in the pot, everyone dares to give birth to seven or eight children. Nowadays, raising a child is just a matter of having too much water in the pot, and generally no one thinks about education. of.

"I really can't do this. I like to be alone, but I can provide some places for the big guys in the village that I often go to. There are a lot of prey there, especially wild boars, which may be a bit dangerous." Gu Siwei said.

Yang Chuanwu thought for a while and said, "I won't force you. You are not afraid of wild boars. This time, the hunting team in the mountain brought guns and prepared a dozen rounds of bullets. We are mainly afraid that the old people will get old and their bodies will be in the mountains. I can't bear it."

"gun?"

Gu Siwei became interested in guns again when he heard about guns. For guys who came over decades later, especially men, they naturally have a special feeling for guns. Originally, guns had no bullets, so they lost interest after playing with them for a while. He said he could get the bullets, but how could he pretend that he didn't hear it.

Seeing Gu Siwei's appearance, Yang Chuanwu smiled and said, "Why, do you want to have a shot?"

"Get a shot if you can," Gu Siwei said.

Yang Chuanhu laughed and said: "Is there anything wrong with this? You are also a villager, and you are also a militiaman. I will send you a rod later."

Now there is no ban on guns in China. Not only is there no ban on guns, but everyone is required to defend their homes and the country. At this time, on average, there is one gun for every three militiamen in the country. Springfield, but it is true that ordinary people own guns.

This is related to the current international situation. Let’s put it this way, after the establishment of the new China, it is really a hostile force that will not die. If nothing else, they want to throw mushroom bombs on our land. The Soviet Union wanted to do it. The Americans If you want to do it, the British still want to do it. This is not a verbal threat. These grandsons really want to do it.

On the point of the gun, Gu Siwei was a little preconceived.

"Okay, find me a better one," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Yang Chuanwu said: "It's not much better. The weapons we get in the mountains are usually picked up by others, but they can be used. Anyway, you have more pockets than others. It shouldn't be a problem to buy some bullets."

The two were chatting here, and Sicui moved the basket out by herself.

"Sicui, what are you doing?" Yang Chuanwu was a little curious seeing Sicui's attitude.

Sicui replied: "My brother and I are going to live in the mountains."

"If you want to move into the mountains, why don't you live in the village?" Yang Chuanwu was a little surprised.

Gu Siwei quickly explained: "It's not completely moving in. There is land on the other side of the mountain, but I don't have land on this side. I moved there to be closer to the land, so I can take care of it. The house in the village is still there, and I go here from time to time. On the other side of the factory, this house can still be used.

"Oh, it turns out that's the case."

With the jewels of Guo Shengshou and Liu Fulin in front of him, Yang Chuanwu is no longer surprised by this statement. If he can find two good land for the two families, Gu Siwei will definitely find a good land for himself. what a strange.

It's strange that some land is not moved there.

"Then when will I go to your new home to have a look. By the way, do you want to help?" Yang Chuanwu said.

Gu Siwei waved his hand and said: "No, no, everyone is very busy now, I will treat everyone to dinner when I am free."

Yang Chuanwu really doesn't have much time to move into the mountains with Gu Siwei. It's not that he is not enthusiastic, but that the fields are full of work now, and there is no fertilizer at this time. If you want fertilizer, it will be big dung. The bucket is picked to the head of the field, and then poured into the ground.

In addition to weeding and thinning, the seeds are planted, and everything follows.

It is not for nothing that farmers face the loess and their backs to the sky.

After chatting for a few more words, Yang Chuanwu left the yard.

In less than 10 minutes, the boy from Yang Chuanwu's family sent Gu Siwei a gun.Originally, Gu Siwei thought that no matter what happened, he had to be a half-dozen, but who knew that Yang Chuanwu directly brought an old antique-Zhong Zhengzheng.

"Uncle, I'm going back."

The little guy wanted to slip away after delivering the gun, and it seemed that he was looking for a friend to play again.

"Si Cui, get me a pancake," Gu Siwei said to Si Cui.

When the little guy heard that there were pancakes to eat, his body, which was rushing like a water ladle, stopped immediately, and he leaned on the door frame with his eyes open and waited for the pancakes.

Seeing this, Sicui giggled, turned around and went into the room, and when she came out again, she had an extra pancake with a diameter of five or six centimeters in her hand.

"Thank you, Uncle Siwei."

The little guy followed the pancake, thanked him, let go of his feet and ran outside.

After fiddling with the gun, Gu Siwei slung the gun over his shoulder, and couldn't play because there were no bullets. Gu Siwei didn't plan to take bullets in the commune, and the matter would eventually fall to his cheap apprentice On Qiao Yitong.

"Is everything packed?"

Gu Siwei asked Si Cui.

Si Cui nodded and said, "It's all packed."

"Okay, let's go."

Gu Siwei bent down and put Sicui's basket on his shoulders.

"Brother, I can come by myself."

"Okay, let's stop talking like this, you should take a break with such a heavy basket for your small body." Gu Siwei said without any explanation, and carried the basket on his back.

Just like that, the brother and sister went out and hung the nose of the door when they left the yard. At this time, they also used locks. No one had anything of value. In the words of later generations, thieves would have to leave with tears when they came in, so this It's the same thing if the door is locked or not.

After getting on the raft and putting down the basket, Gu Siwei supported the raft and went upstream.

Passing by the shipbuilding place, Gu Siwei still wanted to talk to the big guy about the shipbuilding. Who knew that there was no one in sight at this time, so Gu Siwei had no choice but to support the boat and move on.

The current in the village is not rushing, and it is quite easy to support it, but once the raft enters the canyon, it is obvious that the pole is a little bit hard.

But at this moment, grass flowers and cubes also come in handy.

"Brother, brother, there is a big fish below, such a big fish, they are all fine."

Sicui's eyes were fine and he saw the two fish spirits coming up from the bottom of the river at a glance.

Gu Siwei's excitement when he saw Sicui's face was not at all the fear that Wu Meiling had when he saw the big fish for the first time, and he didn't know if it was a girl who was stupid or a coward, but it was a good thing not to be afraid.

"This fish is very obedient. It came to help us push the raft," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Seeing the grass flowers and cubes coming, Gu Siwei gently put away the pole.

It was impossible for the grass flowers and squares to work politely with Gu Siwei. Seeing Gu Siwei's raft, the two fish spirits began to use their big heads to push the raft forward.

With grass flowers and cubes, this small raft looks like it has a motor installed. If Gu Siwei hadn't made the head of the raft extra heavy, it is estimated that the head of the raft could be plunged into the river.

"Wow!"

Seeing that the two fish actually listened to her brother's words, the little girl Sicui immediately burst into a girlish air, yelling and screaming excitedly.

Gu Siwei rarely sees Sicui like this, most of the time Sicui is a quiet and sensible girl, and being sensible is a bit distressing.

But at this moment, Gu Siwei could feel the real appearance of that little girl from Sicui's body. She was so happy that her eyes lit up and her face was full of that silly smile.

In the words of later generations, it is clear and stupid eyes.
