Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 76
Sicui has no education, the words she knows are all taught by Gu Siwei, and now she just learned a few texts, what spring is here, the river is warmer, the ice is melting, a mother duck brings her ducklings Swimming on the river.

This kind of text is mainly about literacy, not about literary beauty. The most important thing is to let children understand and like it.

Now what Sicui sees is not to mention the culture of primary school, and the university may not be able to describe it.

Si Cui looked around anxiously, digesting what she saw.

While Sicui was looking at the scenery, a group of monkeys were also looking at Sicui. They tilted their heads one by one, and surrounded Sicui in the center. When their little thief grabbed Sicui, they were pulled back by their mother.

The monkeys didn't know the relationship between Gu Siwei and Sicui, but they knew instinctively that the small human child in front of them had a higher status than them all.

For this kind of thing, every monkey in the monkey group is sensitive, because if there is no such ability, a monkey does not know how many times it will be beaten. , will become sensitive.

Squeak!

In order to please Sicui, some monkeys in the monkey group squeaked slightly to attract Sicui's attention.

But how could Sicui's eyes fall on the monkey now? Normally, she would definitely look at the monkey, but now she has this completely in her heart, which makes her never think about it. The place where she will live in the future, this kind of scenery is beyond her young mind. Think beyond all good things.

Sicui saw the house, and saw three tall wooden houses. One big and two small stood in his sight. The thick logs were rough and heavy, and the top was almost fifty or sixty centimeters thick. thatch.

As a child in the village who has grown up since childhood, Sicui knows that the thicker the thatch on the roof, the more insulated it is, like this thick thatch, even in summer, as long as you stay in the house, you will not lose weight. It doesn't feel too hot.

"Brother, brother, over there...is our house over there?"

Sicui raised his arm, pointed at the house, and asked Gu Siwei with a trill in his tone.

Gu Siwei laughed and said: "Of course it's our house, or it's someone else's. Don't stand around here. Let's go and see the house. You can also take a look at your room to see if you like it or not."

As he said that, Gu Siwei supported the pannier on his shoulders, reached out and grabbed Sicui's hand, and led her towards the house.

There is still such a short distance from the cliff mouth to the house. Fortunately, the road is straight and about 1.3 meters wide. You won't get your shoes dirty if you walk on it when it's raining.

On one side of the road is a small canal about sixty centimeters through which the pond water flowing down from the mountain flows into the river.

On the other side is also a small canal, only much smaller than the other one, and its water is not drawn from a pool, but from a large canal. Every twenty meters away, there will be a stone The water in the big canal flows into the small canal through this hole.

Si Cui walked and watched, and she felt that this kind of land was so good that it couldn't be better. Although she was only in her teens, as a child in the village, Sicui was more aware of whether the land was good or not, and what kind of land was good than Gu Siwei. Knowing everything will be cut to the bottom.

Si Cui looked at the ground, and Gu Siwei looked at Si Cui. The expression shown by the little girl now made Gu Siwei very satisfied, because at this moment, the little girl's face was completely filled with one sentence: Brother is too powerful !
"Brother, why is there no plant in this land?"

Uh!
The smile on Gu Siwei's face disappeared instantly.

Thinking about it, Gu Siwei said: "There is no way, I have been building a house these days, and I haven't come to plant the land urgently. Another reason why this land is not planted is that there are no seeds. All these lands are really planted. But if you need a lot of seeds, it’s almost 20 mu of land.”

"It must be planted, otherwise it will be a waste."

When the little girl Si Cui said this, she acted like a little adult, as if someone would dig out her heart with a knife if the land was not planted with food.

"Wait a few days, it's too late to plant anything now, let's plant something else..." Gu Siwei said.

Si Cui thought for a while and said: "We can plant rice. Although it is a bit late, but if we plant it now, as long as we work hard, we may be able to harvest it with everyone. Even if it is late, it will not be a few days late. As long as we can plant rice before winter When the food is harvested, it is success."

"You know a lot," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Sicui replied: "I used to go out to work with my aunt and help others plant rice for several years...".

The aunt Si Cui mentioned is the family she was adopted by. As for taking Si Cui to work, that is for sure, because this family almost uses Si Cui as a servant, no matter how old the child is, she is a servant. Cooking, cooking, and farm work, you can do everything. This is not the child of the poor who is in charge of the family early, but the kind of care and anxiety of living under the fence.

"Okay, don't think about the past."

Gu Siwei reached out and patted Sicui's small head lightly.

Sicui smiled and said: "No, I don't feel bitter. If I didn't suffer from the past, I might not be able to live with my brother. I am very happy."

"That's good, that's good. Well, we're home." Gu Siwei signaled Si Cui that we're at our new home.

"Brother, which house do I live in?"

Seeing a big house and two small houses, Sicui thought she was going to live in a small house, so she opened her mouth and asked Gu Siwei.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "Of course you live with me in the biggest house. The small house here is my study room and tea room, a place to read comfortably. That small house is a utility room. In winter It can also be used to store firewood...".

"It's a pity that such a good house is used to store firewood." When Sicui heard that such a good house was actually used to store firewood, he felt a little bit reluctant.

Gu Siwei said: "You don't need to install firewood, but you can install whatever you think is good. Go, go in and have a look, don't stand at the door, go in and have a look at your room."

Gu Siwei brought Si Cui to the door of the house.

There is a distance between the house and the ground, about five steps, and the ground is lifted up, one is for moisture protection, the other is for ventilation, and if there is a heavy rain, the rainwater can be washed directly into the canal instead of accumulating in the Under the house, in short, Gu Siwei thought of everything he could think of.

There is also a small corridor in front of the big house, which protrudes more than two meters from the wall. The corridor does not extend to the entire front, but halfway. into the porch.

The corridor has a roof, and you can change shoes at the door. There is a shoe cabinet next to the entrance door.

The entrance door is not the kind of door commonly used in the countryside today, it is a solid piece of wood, the entrance door is inlaid with glass, and the living room inside can be seen through the glass from the outside.

There is also a cloth curtain on the back of the door. After pulling it up, the outside cannot see the inside.

This kind of door is rare even in the village, let alone in the village. At this moment, no one would make the door of their house like this.

But Gu Siwei made such a move, which stunned Mu Ke, who was originally a Maozi style, more or less with a little American country style, simple, practical and smooth, without too many decorations, revealing a natural and simple beauty.

Gently pull the door open, the door does not use the door link, but the old-fashioned way, the door has shaft sockets on the upper and lower sides, and the two solid wood shafts protruding from one side of the door are settled in the shaft sockets. The friction between the nests will make a soft creaking sound.

It sounds like a charm, which is what the door of the door does not have.

The living room is large and bright. There was nothing in it before, but now it looks even bigger and empty.

"It's such a big and bright room, so beautiful, brother, you are so amazing, you made this all?...".

At this moment, Sicui felt that her eyes were not enough, and she greedily looked at the things in the house. In Sicui's view, this house is not a house at the moment, but a palace she can't imagine. Son, I'm afraid that at most I will live in such a house.

"It's a bit empty now. Mr. Zheng's things haven't been cleared up for me yet. If they are cleared up, this place will be more beautiful." Gu Siwei put down the pannier on his back, put it on the ground, and began to talk to Si Cui.

The furniture in the living room was originally planned to be made by Gu Siwei, but after making it, he found that it was not aesthetically pleasing, and the five big and three thick ones were not good-looking, so Zheng Youcai was asked to do it, and the pictures were naturally drawn by Gu Siwei.

In the living room near the large lattice window, Gu Siwei plans to place a bamboo sofa for three people, and a larger coffee table in the middle. Bamboo mats or something.

Anyway, for this set of living room furniture, Gu Siwei prepared two single bamboo chairs, a three-person bamboo sofa, and a large solid wood coffee table in the middle.

As for the background wall of the TV cabinet, don’t even think about it. You still want to watch TV in this place for decades?
When it was time to watch TV, Gu Siwei felt that the house had to be rebuilt, and thinking about everything now was almost useless.

There is no kitchen in the house, and there is no shortage of land in the countryside. Gu Siwei would not be so stupid as to build the kitchen in the house. The main reason is that Gu Siwei is afraid of cleaning. When the time comes, the whole kitchen will be full of oily smoke. Can you still watch it after a long time? , Throw it directly outside the house. Anyway, in winter, it is impossible to be tens of degrees below zero in the Northeast. The weather here is more than ten degrees. If you directly block it with a curtain, what kind of meat will not be cooked through.

So although the house is big, it doesn't have a kitchen, which saves some space. Three bedrooms and two living rooms are now directly three bedrooms and one living room, but each space is much larger.

"Si Cui, don't hang around outside, come in and take a look at your room."

Gu Siwei pushed away Sicui's room on the west side, and Gu Siwei lived in the room on the east side, so Sicui could only live in the room on the west side.

There is another room to the north, but the sunlight in this room is not very good, so Gu Siwei did not let Sicui live in it.

Of course, the bad sunshine is compared with this house. If it is compared with the houses in the village, even the house in the north is brighter than all the houses in the village combined.

"This is... Really, it's my room, why is there a door?"

Standing at the door, Si Cui’s jaw almost fell to the ground. Today was really exciting for her, like a country girl entering a big capital for the first time. She felt that everything was unimaginable, like a scene. A dream, a dream she didn't want to wake up from.

However, for Gu Siwei, the house is not bad, but it has not yet reached the level of stunning. Decades later, the information explosion has made Gu Siwei, who is poor, has a lot of vision.
