Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 176 Borrowing a house to get married

After patting his butt, Liu Dezhu returned to his original appearance, still looking at Gu Siwei with a smile. His expression clearly said: Brother Siwei, I have seen through you, it must be you.

Gu Siwei couldn't wait to give him another kick, but then he thought about arguing with this kid or something. He was a fool. Even if he said it, others would still believe it.

After a while, Tao Yisheng and the others finished chatting, got on the boat, and Gu Siwei drove the boat down. As they were leaving, there were two more people on the boat, one was Liu Fulin and the other was Guo Shengshou.

Gu Siwei listened to their conversation and couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about? A mountain temple is going to be built in the village?"

Hearing Liu Fulin talk about building a temple or a temple, Gu Siwei thought that his ears had misheard. The team was so poor and they still spent money to build a temple and a temple. Gu Siwei really wanted to know who it was. The bastard brought it up, why are you being treated so cheaply?

Liu Fulin turned around and spoke to Gu Siwei: "It's not a temple. How can we have the money to build a temple? It's just to free up the house on the east side and put the mountain god in it."

"What's the difference?" A black line appeared on Gu Siwei's forehead.

"There is no difference, but the villagers all feel that this matter must be done, and it must be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the mountain god thinks that we are disrespectful, what will happen if there is another natural disaster?" Liu Fulin said.

Gu Siwei felt that it was really hard for him to say anything else, so he could only mutter in his heart: Look at this nonsense!

I can understand the thoughts of the villagers. They have no culture and cannot think about big issues such as life, society, and country. Their thoughts are simple and direct: Who is good to me? I will be nice to anyone.

As for those who talk big words and brag about coins, they try to deceive these farmers once, but if they try to deceive them a second time, they won't be fooled. At most, they will follow you and shout weakly twice.

But for those who really help them, they sincerely support them, such as the mountain god grandpa this time, who almost saved the lives of the villagers.

Gu Siwei didn't know that the villagers had long been discussing in private to offer the Mountain God Grandpa, but the limelight was too tight now. Although they lived in the mountains, it was not possible to engage in feudalism so blatantly, the villagers Just because they are brave enough to fight and fight hard does not mean that these people have no brains and think they are invincible.

After much discussion, we decided that the mountain god's temple should still be built, but we could only put in the gun secretly, not shoot it! It's also called selling dog meat with a sheep's head hanging on it. In short, no one admits that it is the temple of the mountain god, so of course it is not.

This idea - well, at least Gu Siwei felt invincible.

It's very similar to Xu Jingjiang's line in a movie - if I don't give you money after playing, it will be sold.

"Do you have an opinion? If you have an opinion, you can raise it." Liu Fulin knew that Gu Siwei was not interested in this matter, and it was precisely because of this that everyone did not discuss the matter with Gu Siwei.

"If I have any opinions, I'll let them go. If everyone thinks this thing should be available, then we can do it." Gu Siwei didn't want to get into trouble with everyone because of this matter. Isn't that a bad idea?

After speaking, he asked Liu Fulin: "Do you think it's necessary?"

Liu Fulin smiled and shook his head slightly: "There is nothing to worship a mortal clay sculpture. It is just to make you feel comfortable and calm. It doesn't matter whether you build it or not."

"Uncle, you should avoid hanging out with Old Man Tao in the future, otherwise you will become a monk soon," Gu Siwei said jokingly.

Liu Fulin laughed and said: "I don't have the ability."

"What's wrong with me?" Tao Yisheng was a little dissatisfied and glared at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei just pretended not to see it.

The boat followed the water and quickly left the canyon. As soon as it left the canyon, the village stood in front of everyone.

Gu Siwei looked at the village. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something, but he felt that the village was a little more lively than before. Originally, the village should have been quiet at this time, but today it was a little more noisy and a little more rural. At the entrance of the village, you can see bare-chested children chasing dogs, older children climbing trees, and adults shouting and complaining.

"The harvest in your village is so bad this year," Tao Yisheng said with a smile, "people's mental outlook has changed."

"It looks good," Liu Fulin said.

Tao Yisheng said: "Why, can't you keep it a secret from me?"

Guo Shengshou explained: "It's really not true. The team won't let anyone talk. Every household only knows how much food they have brought in. Other people's households won't let you ask or tell. It's just to avoid talking too much." Causing trouble for the team.”

Tao Yisheng nodded slightly and understood the key.

Gu Siwei originally wanted to ask, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.

"When will your family's rice be harvested?" Tao Yisheng asked.

"It's still twenty days. To be honest, the mountain god didn't help our two fields. The rice was planted a little late and the rice was harvested a little late." When Guo Shengshou said this, the expression on his face was still smiling.

No need to ask, the rice in the two fields must be growing beautifully, not to mention that Tao Yisheng has seen it in person.

"You two have enough food this year," Tao Yisheng said.

"Well, then, there may still be some surplus. Last time my third uncle came over and saw that my rice was growing well, he said that he would exchange his inferior grain for my good grain," Guo Shengshou said.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "Your uncle is quite particular about the quality of life, which is a good thing."

Tao Yisheng laughed after hearing this, turned around and pointed his finger at Gu Siwei: "You, sometimes you are as smart as a monkey, and sometimes you are stupid. His uncle can eat rice. ?”

"What are you going to do in exchange for good rice?" Gu Siwei was curious.

"I have exchanged good rice for public ration, what else can I do?" Liu Fulin was also amused by Gu Siwei, and opened his mouth to smooth things over for Gu Siwei.

"It's not surprising that he doesn't know. We don't pay food here, and his brain is damaged and he can't remember some things. How could he know this?"

Guo Shengshou explained: "Paying public grain does not mean that you have to hand over the grain. The moisture content must be high or the grain is not good. In short, the public grain you pay must meet the standards. Therefore, farmers outside use the best grain. After paying the public rations, all I eat is inferior rations, and even the inferior rations are still not enough to eat, so I often exchange the inferior rations for more inferior ones..."

After hearing Guo Shengshou's explanation, Gu Siwei thought for a moment and sighed: "No wonder it's hard for people to farm."

"Why isn't it hard? Where can we eat if we don't work hard?" Guo Shengshou said: "I'm afraid it's just hard work and there is no way to survive at all. In fact, the past few years have been good. After three years, let alone substandard food. The grain in the mouse hole is a treasure, and the hungry mice in the field will hang themselves."

As they talked, they arrived at the village. The water here was slow and there was no dock. Gu Siwei docked the boat at the entrance of his small courtyard, threw the anchor to the shore, and everyone went ashore.

The adults landed on the shore, and soon a group of naked monkeys climbed onto the boat. Gu Siwei shouted to them to be honest, and then followed the big guys to Yang Chuanwu's house.

Sicui climbed up the cliff and ran quickly to meet her little sisters.

Before we arrived, we met Yang Chuanwu and Sun Qiumei halfway.

Seeing everyone coming together, Yang Chuanwu smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I am bringing Qiu Mei here just in time to find you."

"Find me?"

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for brothers from the fourth dimension," Yang Chuanwu said with a smile.

Gu Siwei said happily: "What do you want from me?"

He really couldn't think of anything Yang Chuanwu and Sun Qiumei could do to him.

"Isn't Qiu Mei getting married here?" Yang Chuanwu said.

Gu Siwei nodded and said: "I know about this, Sister Qiu, when will you do it? Have you set a date?"

I had long heard that the two were getting married, but there had been no news yet. Gu Siwei thought that he would get his wife no matter what, but who knew that the matter would be brought up again today, in front of the person involved.

Sun Qiumei smiled: "The beginning of next month is a good day, we can do it then."

"Are we going to have a table?" Guo Shengshou asked.

Sun Qiumei shook her head: "It's not easy to buy, so just buy some wedding candies or something and give them to everyone."

Nowadays, we can’t afford to hold a banquet when we get married. There is no place to buy other meat. Where can we buy enough meat to feed more than a hundred people, let alone wine and so on? So getting married is usually as simple as two people. A bed is put together, and a double happiness sign is posted on the bedside. The big guys come over to have fun and it is considered a wedding.

Sun Qiumei had the same plan, and Sun Qiumei really had no money in her pocket. Even if she wanted to borrow money, who in this village could lend money for more than ten banquets at once.

Oh, Gu Siwei may have it, but if Sun Qiumei dares to borrow it, what will she get in return? Counting on the share money, look at who in the whole village seems to be able to afford the share money, and the share payment is not based on head, but on a household basis. One share has ten mouths, how can you get enough money to host a banquet?

So let’s just relax and don’t do anything. When the time comes, we can send blessings, say a few good words, and eat a piece of candy.

"That's what happened," Yang Chuanwu said.

"Qiu Mei and Zhao Fangming don't have a place to stay here yet. I'm thinking that the house you live in now won't be of much use. Otherwise, I'll lend it to them to get married first, and wait until someone buys a new house in the future. Are you going to let this young couple move again?"

"What am I talking about?" Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"I have no problem with the house, but I have to discuss this matter with my sister. After all, the home is not mine alone."

Gu Siwei had no reluctance to part with the house in the village, and he only lived there for a few days. He had his current house, but he still wanted to have a place to stay in the village, but he had no choice. It was the habit of later generations to like more houses.

After hearing this, Yang Chuanwu and Sun Qiumei thought that Gu Siwei was unwilling, and their faces were a little embarrassed.

Gu Siwei saw it and smiled and said: "It's not that I'm not happy. Although Sicui is young, she is also a member of the family. This matter must be discussed with her. This girl is in the village now. I will call her."

After Gu Siwei finished speaking, he went to find Sicui.

I went to Sicui and told her about this, and Sicui said: "You figure it out, and went to play with the little sisters again."

After going back and explaining the results, Yang Chuanwu and Sun Qiumei started to express their gratitude.
