Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 11 Never expected

"so much"

Gu Siwei was a little surprised when he saw that the big and small pots in the yard were all full of meat. He really didn't expect that a pig could pack so many things.

"The pig you brought back is so big. They weighed it, almost 400 kilograms. It must be a lot of pork for such a big pig."

The woman next to her who was washing pig intestines said happily to Gu Siwei.

\u0026

Gu Siwei nodded happily and muttered: "The more, the more, the more."

After saying that, Gu Siwei walked away, for no other reason than that the plate had a strong smell.

After scalding the pig in boiling water, Gu Siwei was disgusted by the special smell.

Entering the pot house, Gu Siwei found a group of people sitting here, as if they were having a meeting.

"Oh, you went to the wrong place."

Gu Siwei took a look and said something before preparing to turn around.

This group of people is indeed discussing something, and it is not a formal discussion. Everyone is fine. Gu Siwei has brought another pig to the village. Naturally, this matter needs to be discussed carefully. It is best to meet now.

Now everyone's expectation for Gu Siwei to settle in the village has changed from being OK.

As for what Gu Siwei said about picking up such a big pig, others don't know. The old mountain visitors think that this young man Gu Siwei must have special means.

Coupled with Guo Xiangping's compliments about being a stranger, Gu Siwei suddenly became a somewhat mysterious comrade in everyone's minds.

It’s no wonder that people think too much. A young man suddenly appeared in the mountains. He has red lips and white teeth. In the words of the villagers, he looks like a boy who sat down with Guanyin. Even if he is not a strange person, he is still very capable. Otherwise, how can you develop yourself like this?

As for not being able to remember things from the past, everyone is not stupid and can listen to it. If others don’t want to talk about it, it’s best not to ask.

Yang Chuanwu immediately waved his hand: "It's no big deal. Comrade Gu, please sit down too."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei found a random place and sat down.

After Gu Siwei sat down, Yang Chuanwu asked: "Comrade Gu, what do you think of our Zhuangzi?"

"Very good," Gu Siwei said.

There is not much politeness in this. Counting from the days when he came into contact with these people, Gu Siwei felt that most of the people in Zhuanghu were quite simple. To be honest, Gu Siwei wanted to settle down in the village and was also infected by this atmosphere. Zhuanghu Most of them are simply a little stupid.

Of course, this stupidity refers to people who will be refined by the social environment decades later.

"I don't remember where I live. Have you ever thought about settling down in our village?" Yang Chuanwu continued.

If Yang Chuanwu had raised this issue yesterday or even this morning, Gu Siwei would have agreed, but now he is a little hesitant.

Liu Fulin saw it and said: "Actually, it's good to leave your home behind. Once you have something to prove yourself, it will be easier for you to change or buy something in the future. If you don't have these things, it will be difficult for you to stay in a store..."

Gu Siwei frowned after hearing this. He knew that there is no such thing as an ID card in society now, and he didn't know when the ID card was available. He thought that he could run around without an ID card.

Now when I heard Liu Fulin say this, I realized that there is no ID card, but now there is something like a letter of introduction. You can't run around without this thing. Even if you want to stay in a hotel in the town, no one dares to accept you. you.

In short, the letter of introduction issued by the village, factory or unit now will be used as the ID card in the future.

I don’t have an ID card, but I already have a household registration. In 1950, there was a household registration system, and in 1958, I had a household registration book.

It can be said that Gu Siwei encountered a good thing when he came here, because the current social situation is called a chaos. Many things in the county do not know where they have gone, so as long as there are records in the village, no one will Deny his identity.

"It's okay to say it's down," Gu Siwei said.

Yang Chuanwu patted his thigh: "Then it's settled. I'll take care of this for you when I go to the village to receive relief the day after tomorrow."

"Receive relief?" Gu Siwei was a little curious.

Liu Fulin explained this question to Gu Siwei. Only then did Gu Siwei know that Shimo was one of the poorest villages in the county. The terrain was originally not good, but now there were so many children. If the superiors hadn't given them some help, In order to provide relief, Shimo Village estimates that every family will have to give one away every winter.

But now the whole country is in difficulty, and the so-called relief is just to make people starve to death.

"That's okay," Gu Siwei said casually.

Guo Xiangping sighed: "What's okay? It was fine before. Now that people are outside, the relief food is getting less and less. It's not even 30% of the original amount."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei curled his lips inwardly: It is natural to take relief, but is it too little?

"Forget it, don't talk about it." Yang Chuanwu didn't want to mention this.

"Now that you are considered a member of Zhuangzi, I have something to say to you," Yang Chuanwu said.

Gu Siwei nodded seriously.

Yang Chuanwu said: "You don't have the fertile land reclaimed on both sides of the river. Do you have any objection to this?"

Gu Siwei had not originally planned to open land from others. If he wanted to open land, it would be ready-made in the space. Everything would grow quickly and everything would be beautiful. Why use it while thinking about other people's land?

Nodding, Gu Siwei said: "That's natural. These places have nothing to do with me."

"There are quite a few dilapidated houses in the village. There are probably five houses from the west end to the east end, but some of them are in disrepair..." Liu Fulin said.

Gu Siwei thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "If there is no one in the west, I want that yard."

Everyone was stunned when he said this.

Guo Xiangping opened his mouth curiously and asked, "Are you sure?"

Now there are four or five vacant houses in the village. What happened to most of them? In the old saying, it means an extinct household. The family member is gone. Or there is a daughter in the family. The daughter got married and the old man went away or defected. Girl, I don’t want this yard anymore.

Anyway, for various reasons, these houses became ownerless houses.

Gu Siwei chose the dilapidated courtyard farthest from the big guys, which was really unexpected.

Although the folks are simple, it would be nonsense if you say you are not selfish at all. Every family has many children, and the children are about to grow up. It is an immediate matter to separate the families and live alone, so naturally they want to keep the nearby house. Live for your own children.

First, it is close, and second, although the house is dilapidated, the foundation is still there. As long as it is renovated, it will be much less troublesome than building a new one.

Originally, when we were talking to Gu Siwei about choosing a place to live, some people were afraid that Gu Siwei would choose one that was close to everyone.

No one expected that Gu Siwei would choose something no one expected.

Gu Siwei explained: "I'm used to living alone, and I don't really like to join in the fun. I'm also afraid that many of my habits will affect everyone, so it's better to choose the yard farthest to the west."

"It's quite troublesome to repair the yard. It has been empty for almost 20 years. The original family left with Chiang Kai-shek," Liu Fulin said.

When this topic came up, someone immediately said.

"I don't know if he died outside, or if he followed Lao Chang to the Gulf as people said," Luan Dashou said with a sigh.

"Nine times out of ten, those who are in chaos are dead," Guo Xiangping said.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the world was in chaos. At that time, there were arrests of young men everywhere. Some families were seeking a living outside, and only one or two were arrested. Now there is almost no news from these people, and the possibility of survival is very low. Most of them are not alive. Know where you died.

The whole thing went haywire as soon as it started.

Gu Siwei did not interrupt them, but listened to them curiously.

In the original era, Gu Siwei was born in the 1990s, which seemed too far away from the things mentioned by these old men. Not to mention recruiting young men before the founding of the People's Republic of China, when Gu Siwei was born and can remember, there were few places in the country where there was no food. , in the slightly better places in Jiangnan, white rice and noodles are enough.

Therefore, the kind of suffering that the old man said sounded like a fascinating story to him. If he wanted to resonate with it, it was nonsense. Even if there were real people in the story, he had no idea at all. To say sympathy was a bit too much. Fake.

Just like when ordinary people read about changing children and eating them in history books, to modern people it is just a cruel story and they cannot understand the state of mind of the person involved.

After talking for about ten minutes, Yang Chuanwu was the first to react.

"Why did you run away again? Come back, come back, talk about business, talk about Comrade Gu," Yang Chuanwu said with a smile.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "Don't call me Comrade Gu. Call me Siwei or Xiao Gu."

"Then let's go to Siwei. You are young and it is not easy to call you Comrade Gu all the time." Yang Chuanwu said with a smile.

"Siwei, that's what I think. It would be easier to put your household on someone else's..."

Gu Siwei was a little confused after hearing this, and kept saying: "Wait, falling on someone else? My surname is Gu, is there anyone in Zhuangzi who has the same surname as me?"

"If you say yes, yes, yes; if you say no, no."

Guo Xiangping said with a smile.

Now Gu Siwei looked at Guo Xiangping with a confused look on his face, and thought to himself: Nima, this is your surname, you are transforming into a beautiful girl, what do you want to do? If I fall into someone else's household and ask me to change my surname, I won't do it. If someone changes my surname to the same one as mine, this idea is out of tune.

"Here's the thing".

Liu Fulin saw that it was almost done, so he smiled and said to Gu Siwei: "There is an orphan girl in the village. She has no ability to survive alone. She is only ten or eleven years old... Of course, you can have a boy if you want, but it's just her age. a bit big".

"Stop, stop, stop!"

When Gu Siwei heard this, he turned to look at everyone and said, "You can't do this."

"Listen to me, it's not that we insist on pushing it to you, but other than yours, other families in this village may not be able to support this girl. Whose family doesn't have five or six mouths now?" Liu Fulin advised.

"Besides, this orphan girl has a household registration. It is difficult to register a household registration, but there is no big problem in adding a name to a household registration." Liu Fulin added.

Gu Siwei thought about it for a moment, then opened his mouth and blocked everyone's mouths: "How about this, if you can't support me and you want me to support you, this girl will have to change her surname to mine, to Gu...".

Snapped!

After hearing this, Yang Chuanwu slapped his thigh directly: "That's it, the matter is settled. Si Cuier will be Siwei's girl from now on. I'm sorry to change my surname."

What the hell!

Gu Siwei almost couldn't breathe.

Originally, he said this simply because he wanted to silence others. In his opinion, decades later, there will be people fighting over their children's surnames to a bloody head. What's the point of asking someone to change their surname at this time?

He would definitely not be happy. As long as he was not happy, Gu Siwei would refuse.

What a perfect design,

It's a pity that the script did not follow Lao Gu's vision.
