Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 193 Enjoying the Coolness

When I returned to the house, it was almost completely dark. I made some food for Hu Yanqiu to fill her stomach.

After that, the three of them turned off the lights, each moved a bamboo chair and sat outside to enjoy the cool air.

Hu Yanqiu now held the most common cattail leaf fan in his hand. He took off the long trousers and long gown he originally wore, and only wore a sleeveless waistcoat with big pants underneath. This is the most casual way to dress at home.

Sitting on the semi-reclining bamboo chair, Hu Yanqiu shook his fan and looked at the stars in the sky above his head. He couldn't help but say: "It's so comfortable!"

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "You don't have to tell me, otherwise what should I do here, other than just to be quiet and comfortable? The temperature here is two to three degrees lower than in the village, and the temperature in the village is higher than in your factory over there. A few degrees lower.

There must be at least thirty degrees among your workers now, right? It's a cool time here, and we haven't caught up with it this year. At this time next year, plant watermelons. When the weather comes to enjoy the cool weather, put some watermelon juice on hand, the kind with ice, and take a sip. It’s beautiful.”

Without hesitation, Gu Siwei drew a piece of cake for Hu Yanqiu.

In fact, it is not a painting. Gu Siwei is planning to plant watermelons next year. He wants to plant them this year, but the first year was a mess and he was a little busy. If he plants them again now, when will he eat the melons? He can't eat it until autumn. Besides, it's really troublesome for him to eat melons at this time, because there are no seedless melons yet.

He doesn't know if the seedless melons have come out. If they don't come out, then he has nothing to do. Space can cultivate good varieties, but how can he use space to cultivate seedless melons?

He failed Siwei to have such a reserve of knowledge!

So if there were no seedless melons, he would choose a sandy melon.

In addition to watermelons, Gu Siwei has a lot of plans for next year. First of all, all kinds of vegetables and melons will be arranged, such as cantaloupes, round melons and so on. As long as they are available, they will be planted. By next year, they will have both fruits and melons. From spring, It’s a pleasure to eat it until winter.

"What you're saying makes my mouth water, but I can't figure it out. You don't have ice here, how can you make it cold?" Hu Yanqiu asked.

Gu Siwei said: "You are really uneducated. You don't know how to make ice. Even if you don't know how to make ice, you will always store ice on the ice in winter, right?"

Gu Siwei really doesn't worry about ice. He doesn't know how to make ice, but he has the conditions to store ice. The cave over there is good, it's naturally cold inside, so it's okay to store ice.

But Gu Siwei’s reliance is not on the cave. As we all know, space moves much faster than time outside. That is to say, in a few days, the four seasons in space can come out. In the winter of space, we can get some ice. Not easy yet?

The only difficulty was that Gu Siwei had to explain where the ice came from.

"You are the only one with many bad ideas."

Hu Yanqiu really didn't know how to make ice in the summer. She did know that the refrigerator could make ice and that there was a large cold storage in the factory, but ice making in the countryside was not something she could understand. Her level of knowledge, even though she had just graduated from junior high school, was not enough. The things they learn are worse than those of primary school students a few decades later. At least their knowledge is definitely not as broad as that of children in the future.

"Serious business, what the hell is this?"

Gu Siwei was now bare-armed, shaking a fan in his hand, with one foot on his lap, barefoot, and the other foot on a slipper, looking at the brilliant starry sky above his head with great joy, Although he had seen the colorful starlight and the colorful Milky Way many times, he felt like he couldn't get enough of it every time.

Hu Yanqiu was about to say something when he heard a clear snore coming from Sicui on the chair next to him.

Turning around, he found Sicui curled up into a ball, huddled on the chair and already asleep. As for the snoring, it was not Sicui who snored, but Da Mao who was sleeping next to Sicui.

Youni didn't sleep at this time. He was very energetic at the moment. He was lying next to the leg of Sicui's chair, wagging his tail from time to time, and looking at the rice fields in front of him warily, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly come from It looks like it is emerging from the rice field.

Will things come out of the rice fields?

Maybe, sometimes one or two greedy pheasants would come over and try to take advantage of Gu Siwei, but it was so easy to take advantage of Lao Gu.

Therefore, out of ten pheasants with bad intentions, seven or eight of them will end up braised or stewed in shame because of their immoral behavior, and appear on the Gu family's dining table to die as apology!

Gu Siweichang and his sister Sicui lamented that being a chicken could be so angry, which was much better than some people.

This is a bit far, but it also reflects that Youni has not forgotten his instinct at this moment - Youni is a hound, and he is also an extremely strong hound.

The chicken's suicidal behavior has little to do with the sludge, because the sludge is too small, and it is still possible to catch a pheasant but not enough.

It has nothing to do with Da Mao. It’s not that Da Mao can’t be caught. It’s just 24k pure laziness. Now it’s looking forward to Gu Siwei feeding him all day long. As long as he doesn’t feed him and isn’t so hungry that his chest touches his back, Da Mao won’t go out on his own. Arrange some food and drink.

Therefore, Da Mao is still a bear with a good temper, and will not hunt until he is too hungry.

The death of the chicken was caused by a group of monkeys, because these guys are smarter than Da Mao and Yu Gui. They understand that there is not much difference between a group of monkeys and a group of people in mixed society. If you want to live well, you have to flatter the leader. Even if you are not a leader, there is always someone in society who can lead you forward.

If you don’t believe it, you can watch Pony. In a fight with four horses, one can beat three of them. Why is Pony now the number one monkey among the monkeys?

You are following the right leader!

The monkeys couldn't explain this, but they understood the key, so some monkeys would catch something and give it to Sicui and Gu Siwei if they had anything to do.

Of course, these things are definitely not their favorite food. If they are like fresh peaches, the monkeys will never give them to people. Even if they want to give them away, they will have to enter their stomachs halfway.

There is an old saying here: A monkey cannot hold a date in its hand!

That's what it says.

Now this group of monkeys has become more obedient. They all nested in the two old trees on the edge of the cliff. As long as the big fur is around, they will not take the initiative to come to the house.

It can be seen that the relationship between Da Mao and the monkey group is not harmonious.

Let's put it this way, the monkey group can be said to hate Da Mao deeply. If there was no other way, the monkey group would really want to drive Da Mao away.

"Sicui is asleep!"

Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei raised his body and took a look, and saw that the girl was really asleep, so he came over wearing slippers, put one arm on his neck, and the other arm on the crook of his leg, and gently picked up Sicui.

After returning to the house, he put down the mosquito net, chased away the mosquitoes for the little girl, and lit the mosquito coil. Then Gu Siwei returned to the house, sat down next to his chair again, and shook the cattail leaf fan.

Hu Yanqiu also followed. After returning to the chair, he said to Gu Siwei: "You are quite careful."

"Is this called careful?" Gu Siwei smiled.

"Why not? My brother would never do this for me," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei thought for a moment, thinking about Hu Yanming's dull appearance covering Hu Yanqiu with a blanket or something, and suddenly felt that this scene was a bit unimaginable.

"Your brother may not have thought of this," Gu Siwei smiled.

"Maybe!" Hu Yanqiu replied casually.

The two of them were silent again for a while.

It wasn't that Gu Siwei didn't want to talk or talk to Hu Yanqiu, but that Gu Siwei was admiring the sky at this moment. He really had no idea to think about anything else. His mind was currently wondering which star was Altair and which star. Where is Vega.

"Will you collect it tomorrow?"

Hu Yanqiu felt that the air was a little too quiet, and he felt a little panicked, so he asked casually.

Gu Siwei said: "We won't harvest tomorrow, we will harvest the day after tomorrow. We just drained the water in the field a week ago, and we are waiting for the sun to dry out for another day. I originally thought that seven days is almost enough. No matter what the temperature is, the field will be half dry." , who would have thought that the soil in the field is still a bit soft.

Of course, you can collect it if you can, but it just takes a lot of effort, but everyone is not busy at this time, so there is no need to rush in front and behind."

Gu Siwei explained slowly.

When harvesting rice, naturally the water in the rice field must be released first. You can't harvest the rice by stepping on the water. The water had been left for almost a week, and it was ready to be harvested. However, Sun Qiumei and his wife were getting married. When they get married, you harvest the rice. Why do you have to take half of the day away from it?

If it were an ordinary person, they would really be able to do this in order to grab the harvest, but Gu Siwei really doesn't need it. I have the space and time, not to mention that it doesn't look like it's going to rain in the past two days.

Not only did it not rain, but it also looked like it was going to be dry. From the time the villagers started harvesting to now, it has not rained seriously.

It's good for harvesting crops, but it's not a good thing for newly planted crops.

“What will we plant when the rice harvest is finished?”

Hu Yanqiu asked again.

"I have planted a lot. I plan to plant some more potatoes and some rapeseed. I will plant some cabbage over there, and the rest will be planted with radishes and the like. These will be reserved for pickling in winter, otherwise the cave will Those jars and jars can’t always be empty.”

Gu Siwei had said this before, but now that Hu Yanqiu asked him about it again, he didn't feel annoyed and said it again.

It's not easy to get angry in this mood now.

"It's not easy to fill up those big tanks of yours. Besides, have you eaten? Don't marinate too much and it will be damaged." Hu Yanqiu thought about the large and small tanks in Gu Siwei's cave. Gu Siwei kind of hates Xiao Xida, which means he is very happy with his achievements.

Gu Siwei said: "It's okay. As long as I pickle it well, Wu Daorong will also accept it."

This matter was originally mentioned casually by Gu Siwei, but Wu Daorong said that Gu Siwei could do it without any worries. As long as the vegetables were pickled well, he would have no problem digesting one or two tons.

"Then you can marinate it more." Hu Yanqiu nodded.

The two chatted about each other for more than half an hour. After Hu Yanqiu ran around for a day, he went back to Sicui's house to sleep.

Gu Siwei stayed for almost another hour, then went back to the house to cook his own big pig's head, happily opening his eyes until dawn.
